Chapter 395 The Dust Settles
After entering the account, Bai Kou called the girl to move the box into the small warehouse. She took the 1000 taels of cash to Gu Yun, but Gu Yun didn't want it, and asked Bai Kou to incorporate the money into the 5000 taels given by the lady. Inside, as the principal of this year's business.

Now that it is known that Bai Kou wants to relocate a colored glaze workshop, it is natural that she has enough money in her hand, such a workshop needs a lot of money just for the necessary tools.

Bai Kou then took the money back to her house and locked it up, added a few sums to the account book, put the money into the business account, and started thinking about whether to set up a shop on Cross Street for retail and wholesale For the business, the workshop only does bulk factory business.

After this idea flashed into his mind, Bai Kou wrote it down in his notes, and planned to say hello to Zhuang Zhai Yaxing next time he went to the street and let them pay attention.

After packing up her things, Bai Kou went to the small kitchen to prepare lunch. She boiled a pot of broth and sent it to Xiangzhu and the seven of them in the courtyard.

Gu Yun took a leisurely nap and went to the study to write a new letter to his buddies. Tomorrow's invitation was cancelled, and the appointment was rescheduled to Shangyuan Festival, and then he sent his servants to deliver the letter quickly.

Bai Kou woke up after taking a nap, and saw a lot of clothes drying in the yard. The maids took advantage of the noon break to wash all the dirty clothes of Xiangzhu and the others.

Looking at the clothes fluttering in the wind, Bai Kou had an idea. She opened her money box, took four ten taels of silver ingots, then went out to the small courtyard of the third-class girl, and picked four people to specialize in the side courtyard. Responsible for taking care of them, the hard work of ten taels of silver per person, made the four girls smile with joy, slapped their chests loudly, and guaranteed to complete the errand.

The other girls were very envious, but they also knew that the side courtyard didn't need too many people to take care of them, and Shizi's side was the real business.

The four girls immediately went to the side courtyard after collecting the money. Before the seven of them recovered from their injuries, the four of them had to run back and forth all the time. .

The monthly bill of the third-class girl is only five hundred cash, and she got ten taels of silver in one fell swoop, which is not to do the errand with all her strength. They also know that if they fail this time, it will not be their turn to do something good next time up.

Bai Kou went to the small kitchen to finish making afternoon snacks, took some and packed them in a paper box, and took them to the courtyard by herself to see the current situation there.

Just after entering the gate of the courtyard, Bai Kou saw that the courtyard had undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the morning, it became much tidier, the fallen leaves all over the ground were swept away, and there were two small mud on the leeward side of the courtyard. Furnace, used to decoct medicine and boil water.

Suddenly bursts of laughter came from the room where Xiangzhu and the others lived, interrupting Bai Kou's thoughts of observing the environment. She held the snack box high in her hand and walked into the girls' room.

When the maids saw Bai Kou coming, they cheered and took the things in her hands, and pulled her to sit down. Seven people from Xiangzhu Guizhu lined up and bowed to Bai Kou. They were even willing to kneel and kowtow if they could.

All seven of them heard about the fate of the old servants in the second bedroom, and they breathed a sigh of relief, and their depressed mood was relieved a lot, and this is exactly what the doctor asked for when they came for a follow-up visit. A good mood is conducive to recuperation and recovery.

The doctor was invited from the street, and he specialized in treating decent servants of rich families. He was sensible and well behaved, and would not talk nonsense to people outside, but to be cautious, the second master still gave a lot of medicine fee.

Bai Kou told them that the second master gave them 50 taels of consolation money each, and the money was in her hands, and she would give it to them after they recovered from their injuries, and then sent them to work in Xianbugou, where manpower was needed.

"Xianbugou is just starting up now, and the conditions are not very good. There is no small courtyard for the seven of you to live alone. You have to board at other people's homes, so you still have to sleep in the same big kang. I don't know how long it will take. Improve the environment for you." Naturally, Bai Kou said the ugly words first.

"It doesn't matter. For us, after going through this time, there is nothing worse than this. Even we can live on the floor every day." This is what Xiangzhu and the others said in their hearts.

"Very well, then take care of your wounds, Xian Bugou will be remodeling recently, and you will probably be healed when it is done over there, and the work is not heavy, just pack the finished products into boxes, and wait for the output to come up in a few days , your work will become more difficult.”

"That's what we're happy to do. It doesn't matter how hard or tired we are. It's our blessing to work for the prince. We won't embarrass the prince outside."

"It's best for you to think like this. Let's have a good rest. I'll take the two of you back and send your clothes over to dry, so that you can have clean clothes to change in the evening."

"Thank you, Boss, let's go slowly, Boss."

The maids watched Bai Kou take the two of them away, sat in the room and couldn't hold back their tears anymore, but they were happy in their hearts, so they cried and laughed for a while, only thinking that when they recovered from their injuries, they would go out and work hard to repay the prince Well, if he hadn't accepted them, how could they have a future to look forward to now.

The four girls sent by Bai Kou to take care of them also shed tears together, and told them a lot about Bai Kou's behavior style. Everything in Zhongming Court is supported by Bai Guanshi and the eldest son, but they are all reasonable people and have been bullied. He will definitely seek justice, but if he takes the initiative to bully others, or drags his companions back, once they find out, it will not be a good end.

Since Xiangzhu and the others have made up their minds to give the crown prince a face, they will naturally not do embarrassing things outside. It is good to learn from anyone, but they cannot learn from the servants under the second lady. Li, to see what happened to them now, all rushed to Zhuangzi to ask for a living by themselves.

Bai Kou returned to the Zhongming Courtyard and told Shizi about the current situation in the side courtyard. Everything is back on track and there is nothing to worry about.

Afterwards, she led the people back to the courtyard of the back building, lit several braziers, put Xiangzhu and the others' wet clothes on the drying racks to dry slowly, then Bai Kou opened the small storeroom and found half a bolt of linen And a few pairs of needles and threads, let the girls take them back when they deliver the clothes at night, and ask Xiangzhu and the others to cut them out to make underwear. Girls' underwear must follow the principle of changing every year.

For dinner, the maids brought good food and dishes to the side courtyard, and the second master paid 200 taels for food. Bai Kou would definitely make Xiangzhu and the others get tired of eating meat while they were recuperating.

In the middle of the night, Gu Yun sneaked into the courtyard of the back building through Baosha, and found that the courtyard was pitch black. Bai Kou had already fallen asleep, and the ground dragon was burning. I had no choice but to go back to sleep depressed.
