The cook is very busy

Chapter 25 I'm eyeing the big house (repair)
Skylark waited on the old lady to sleep on the cool couch in the inner room, walked out with small steps, opened the bamboo curtain with her slender hands, but saw Dujuan coming in from outside.

"My good sister, what was the noise outside just now? You made your voice louder, so the old lady asked..."

Skylark greeted her with a smile, and took a closer look at Du Juan. Seeing that she had a stern face, annoyed and about to explode, she hurriedly dragged her to the window.

This elder sister has been by the old lady's side all the time, and she has a bit of a spoiled temper, and it's not good to just wake up the old lady by yelling and cursing.

After listening to Yunque's words, Du Juan restrained himself a little, snorted coldly, and looked at the swaying curtain with disdainful eyes.

"That's why I took that girl, and this grandma is still babbling, meaning to ask her niece to stay in the old lady's room. Hmph, I really think I'm in charge!"

Du Juan was puzzled, and spat again, "Look at that hoof, the fourth young master hastily squeezed forward as soon as he came into the house, with a coquettish look on his face, if she was really asked to come in, she would dirty our place! "

Yunque secretly felt that this was a bit harsh, but it was hard to say it, so he poured a cup of tea, and accompanied Xinxin to go up to persuade him.

Du Juan held the tea in his hand, and listened to the persuasion, his face softened. Seeing this, Skylark pulled Du Juan to sit down and talked to her about other things. .

"The pagoda flower in the second wife's room came to me and asked me to help talk to the old lady and recruit her natal sister-in-law."

Speaking of which, Yunque took out a hairpin from his bosom, wrinkled his face, "It was stuffed for me in front of Sophora japonica, but I just came to serve in the front yard, so I really can't say anything."

Du Juan looked down, but she couldn't see it, and a small silver hairpin couldn't get into her eyes. She smiled and nodded Lark's forehead.

"You can't say it. Our old lady has not been in good health in recent years, and she no longer cares about the affairs of the house. In the past two years, the head of each room has been responsible for some. The first room is in charge of the back kitchen, and the second room and the third room are watching the front. hospital."

Du Juan put down the teacup, "If Sophora Hua wants her sister-in-law to work in the back kitchen, she can just find her in the big house, and we can't talk about it."

After hearing this, Yunque was full of agreement, put the hairpin in her arms embarrassingly, and hurriedly diverted the conversation, "Sister Du Juan, it is said that there are many women in the city who come to our house to find work. What is the kitchen in the back doing?" You have to ask someone from outside."

Just as Du Juan was about to leave, she turned her head and glanced at the room through the bamboo curtain. She saw the old lady lying on the couch, looking heavy and sleepy, so she said.

"How do you know that the back kitchen takes care of our big house to eat and drink, and spends countless money, most of all oil and water. That Zhang Meng's family was originally a girl in the eldest wife's house. She recruited people from outside, and she didn't know her details. It’s tricky here that you can take a shovel out of the cauldron.”

It was only then that Yunque realized, no wonder the old lady had been rushing to the back kitchen recently, resigned, and asked for someone today, presumably they were eyeing the big house.

"Magpie girl, please wait a moment."

Ziqing called to stop the little girl named Magpie, told her, and let her go to say goodbye to Aunt Sun.

Just now Du Juan left without saying a word, Grandma Sun and Erya were both stunned for a while, then Erya stomped her feet angrily, and ran away crying.

Grandma Sun didn't care about anything else, so she left herself and chased after her.

The girl Magpie is easy to talk to, maybe she is young, even if she puts on a show, she can't make it go anywhere, and Ziqing's kind voice sounds good to her, so she agrees.

Ziqing smiled at her, put the burden on the baffle in the corridor and chased after her.

Sun Erya was leaning on the end of the veranda, crying and making noise, while her aunt was persuading her earnestly.

The aunt and nephew were talking, when Ziqing came over, Erya immediately turned on her.

"What are you doing here, you bastard? You're so proud now. You stay in the old lady's room. I have to go to the back kitchen to be a rough girl. It's all because of you!"

Ziqing also became angry when she heard that, she couldn't go to the back kitchen, and she couldn't learn from the teacher, so it was a waste of time for her to come.

At this moment, Sun Erya scolded again inexplicably, and she was still aggrieved for a long time!
Regardless of Grandma Sun's presence, Ziqing half-yelled with a cold face.

"Who can you blame when you go to the back kitchen? Who told you to rush forward? I haven't found you to vent my anger. If you didn't owe me so much, why would I stay here to serve tea and water for you!"

"Hey, two aunts, what are you doing? This is Mu's Mansion, not a farmer in our village. If you two continue to yell, you will bring disaster!"

Grandma Sun jumped up in a hurry, stopped in the middle, and looked back while talking, but fortunately they had already left the yard at this moment, and the main house couldn't hear them.

Only two decent servant girls came from the garden in the distance, and when they heard the commotion, they cast a displeased glance at this side.

Erya Sun couldn't help being angry, but she couldn't scold or shout, her heart was blocked, she snorted and turned her head away, walked up to the stone steps ahead and wiped her tears.

Grandma Sun sighed helplessly, unable to say what she wanted to say, she knew what kind of temperament her niece was.

But now that the good job fell to someone else, she couldn't be happy, so she could only force herself not to make a bad face for Ziqing.

"Girl, tell me what's going on. The aunt has to take Erya to the back kitchen. If it's too late, I won't be able to leave the city."

Ziqing also slowed down a little bit, then took out the two taels of money in his bosom and handed it to Grandma Sun, with a smile, "Auntie, please take this tael back to my parents, and tell his parents that everything is fine for me." rest assured."

"You take the rest. I heard from my mother the other day that brother Datou got a big fat boy. I will buy some good supplements for my eldest nephew in a couple of days. It's going to be the moon soon, isn't it?"

These two taels of rewards were a windfall, and it was useless for her to stay by her side, so she might as well send them home.

And give one or two to Mrs. Sun, since I have paid back the favor, I can ask her to take the money back. Anyway, if it weren't for her, the money would not have fallen into her hands.

Grandma Sun paused, looking at the thin girl in front of her, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Seeing that she was about to leave after finishing speaking, he hurriedly stopped her, took out some pieces of silver from his body and stuffed them into her hands.

Ziqing couldn't understand, so he pushed the silver over again, but Mrs. Sun pressed her tightly and told her with earnestness.

"Good girl, you take these, don't waste money with the aunt, and remember what the aunt said, the front yard is no better than the back kitchen, it is easier to manage with some money, pay attention to everything, work more, Shao Daga, you are transparent, you know what to do."

The magpie in front called out impatiently, and Grandma Sun asked her to collect the money and hurry over, while she called Er Ya and left.

Ziqing was stunned for a while, then sighed secretly, he understood in his heart, and hurried back without staying any longer.

It is really helpless for her to stay here, and she will find an opportunity in the future, and then go to the back kitchen.
