I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 285 Outsourced
Taking a peek at Xia Ying, she is still taking care of sister Fu for dinner!
Sister Fu is still young after all, holding the pancakes with her small hands, gnawing scum on her chest and skirt.While guiding her to eat cakes correctly, Xia Ying wiped her mouth and hands, too busy to care about other things.

Only then did the apprentices quietly pick up a piece of food with their chopsticks, and also imitated what Gu Tuo and his son did, and then they opened the door to a new world!
There are not many styles of these side dishes, that is, one serving of capers, one serving of steamed ham, one serving of stir-fried shredded radish, and one serving of stir-fried cabbage.

But each side dish has its own unique taste, no matter which one goes well with the noodles!
If it is mixed and matched, the taste is even richer!

They also learned to try this way, and immediately liked it more and more.After eating the pancake in two mouthfuls, he quickly grabbed another piece.

After a while, the pan full of pancakes was eaten up, even the side dishes and even the cucumber and egg soup on the table were eaten up!

And when they saw the table that had been swept away, the apprentices who were well fed and drunk realized what they had done!
They were suddenly embarrassed and cramped, and none of them dared to raise their heads at all.

Xia Ying was noncommittal.

Anyway, she has made it very clear just now: her mission has been completed, and everything that will follow will be taken over by Gu Tuo.Then as long as she has fulfilled her due obligations, she will not care about the rest!

"Brother Long Hao, clean up the table!"

As soon as she gave an order, Gu Yuanlong hurriedly packed the dishes and went back to the kitchen.

Gu Yuanhao wiped the table with a rag, while Xiaoqi and Fu Jieer carried a broom and dustpan to sweep the floor.

Seeing their skillful posture, it is obvious that they have done it many times before!

Gu Tuo also rolled up his sleeves, planning to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

But before he reached the kitchen door, there was a knock on the front door, and someone knocked on the door outside.

Gu Tuo turned his head. "Who is it?"

"Brother Tuo, it's me! Gu Sheng!" The person who came was the patriarch's eldest grandson.

Gu Tuo hurried over to open the door, and Gu Sheng came in. "Brother Tuo, there is a clue to what happened yesterday! Come with me!"

"Okay!" Gu Tuo nodded immediately.

He turned his head to look at Xia Ying, and Xia Ying waved her hand: "That matter is business, you can go over there first! The dishes and chopsticks will be washed after you come back."

Uh……

The corners of the apprentices' mouths twitched wildly again.

This Ninth Young Madam...how could she be so powerful?

The ninth son obviously has to go out, but she still refuses to take over the task of washing the dishes, but still insists on waiting for the ninth master to finish his work before going back to do the washing?

It's just washing the dishes, what about her?
However, looking at Gu Tuo, he had a natural look on his face. "Well, I'll go first!"

Gu Sheng at the door also looked as usual, he quickly turned around to lead the way for Gu Tuo.

Gu Tuo stepped across the threshold, and he immediately turned back to greet: "You guys come with me too!"

As if they had been pardoned, several apprentices hurriedly followed Gu Tuo to the patriarch's house.

But when they came back, their expressions became a little weird.

The same goes for Gu Tuo.

At this time, Xia Ying had already tidied up the yard and kitchen, Gu Yuanlong and Gu Yuanhao brothers also went to school, only Xia Ying and two little girls were dyeing cloth!
The chestnuts harvested last autumn, everyone ate the chestnut meat, but Xia Ying left a basketful of chestnut shells.Now, she took Fu Jieer and Xiao Qi to grab a large handful of chestnut shells, boil them in water, and dye the cloth. This is called a labor class for the children!

Seeing that they came back, Xia Ying didn't raise her head: "Have you found out where those two counterfeit goods came from?"

"You can say you found it, or you can say you didn't find it." Gu Tuo responded calmly.

Only then did Xia Ying look up. "What do you mean by that?"

"It means that people did open their mouths, but they only said that they were carpenters from nearby villages and towns. Someone found them recently and gave them a lot of money to come and join me. They also said that as long as they can successfully enter our house , just give them one tael of silver for their hard work!" Gu Tuo said in a deep voice.

"They also said, that person also said: After entering our house, they will become the pillars of Gu Ji's new round, and they will have money and power at their fingertips in the future! But it will take a few years for that goal to be realized, but In the process, they need to keep in touch with him if they want to make a fortune."

Xia Ying narrowed her eyes. "Keep in touch? The implication is that they still plan to find opportunities to make trouble?"

"Those two people don't know. The person who contacted them was just a local local snake, and there must be someone above that local snake." Gu Tuo responded.

Xia Ying twitched the corner of her mouth. "That's right, everyone with the surname Ye has learned how to outsource? No wonder Wang Wanwan is not his opponent at all?"

"What did you say? Outsourcing?" Gu Tuo was again confused by the new vocabulary in her mouth.

"What I mean is that he found someone to subcontract the matter layer by layer, so even if we find out, it will be difficult for us to find the real mastermind behind the scenes. This method is very shrewd and powerful!" Xia Ying said.

"It's really powerful." Gu Tuo fully agreed with this point.

At least now, even if he guessed who did it, there's nothing the other party can do, because he can't produce definite evidence!

But after explaining the story to Xia Ying, Gu Tuo turned back to look at the apprentices: "You all saw it with your own eyes just now at the patriarch's house! The reason why Gu Ji fell down back then was because he was framed by a traitor!"

"In the past, Gu Ji was in full swing, and it could be quickly destroyed in a short period of time. Now there are only a few of us left in Gu Ji, and it is easier for others to do evil things! So there is nothing wrong with my wife choosing to be cautious at the beginning! Do you realize this now? Agree?"

Uh, why did he change the subject and start talking for her again?

Xia Ying was stunned, but a warm feeling quickly burst out of her heart.

The apprentices were also completely speechless.

Previously, Xia Ying beat them with sap, abused them without food or drink, and finally tortured them to the point of extorting a confession. They had a bit of resentment in their hearts.

But after being taken to the patriarch's house by Gu Tuo just now and seeing with their own eyes the miserable conditions of the two people who tried to pretend to be real under the torture of the old patriarch, they knew that Xia Ying was actually very lenient!
And what Gu Tuo said was right - in order to prevent someone from making troubles at the very beginning of their revival of Gu Ji, they really had to be very careful!

But they were single and weak, so Xia Ying could only take this method in desperation.

She also had no choice, so she had no choice but to make such a bad move!

With a sharper contrast and a reasonable explanation, Xia Ying's previous actions began to be understood by everyone.

Although they still felt a little guilty towards Xia Ying in their hearts, everyone looked at her with a bit of respect in their eyes.

"Master Jiu is right!" They all nodded.

"So what should you do now?" Gu Tuo asked again.

The apprentices stepped forward to salute Xia Ying. "Mrs. Nine, we wrongly blamed you before, please forgive me, don't be as knowledgeable as us."

"It's okay, we are all our own people, why are you so polite?" Xia Ying also waved her hands with a smile.

Say a few polite words, she is still very good at it!

"Aren't you tired after going out for a long time? Sit down and rest, and I'll cook something delicious for you at noon!" She hurriedly said, "By the way, father, what are you going to do next?"

"Us? Make a coffin!"
