incense as a medium

Chapter 164 Li Wei
The cold-faced Eunuch Shao was stupefied and Qi Peiyun had already kowtowed his head and got up, he couldn't help pointing at Qi Peiyun and laughed twice, then he took the hard work from the Qi family and left with a flick of his sleeve.

"Eunuch Shao, go slowly!" Qi Peiyun hurriedly saw him off, and after seeing off Eunuch Shao, he would wink and smile at Liu Bailu when he came back.

Liu Bailu gave him a sidelong glance, turned around and handed the imperial decree and Yu Ruyi to Lan Mo, walked to Qi Ding's side and helped her up, "Mother, my daughter-in-law will take you back to your room."

"Hmph!" Qi Ding snorted coldly, and said, "I've been outside for so long before I come back, and I'm still waiting for you to have lunch! Don't starve my son to death!"

Liu Bailu smiled lightly, and said: "Today, grandson and Fenghuanglou are hosting a banquet for the master and daughter-in-law. The master is worried about his mother being alone at home, so he specially asked Fenghuanglou to pack the meals and come back to eat with mother."

Hearing that it was his son's filial piety, Qi Ding's eyebrows and eyes were curved with a smile, Liu Bailu took a step back in time, and said: "Mother and master, please go to the main room first, and the daughter-in-law is here to watch the cooking in the kitchen."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qi Ding's consent, Liu Bailu went to the kitchen, followed by Qiu Chun and Fangmei behind her.

Fangmei looked at Qi's mansion all the way, looked at the servants passing by in the yard, and said: "Mrs. Qi's mansion is not very safe."

Liu Bailu nodded and said with a smile: "That's why I wanted you to help sort out these servants. Although the people the master recruited are reliable, they still have to find ways to subdue them. I don't have that much effort right now. , all depends on the two aunts."

"Don't worry, ma'am, if nothing happens, I'll go and have a look in private." Fang Mei said.

Qiu Chun also said: "I will also go to see the two young ladies."

Ok?Liu Bailu turned around and looked at the two of them suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I didn't want the two children to be too restrained, learn some rules, and they won't be able to make it through. It's just that the servants should be disciplined. "

Fangmei smiled and said: "Madam, I'm worried that my appearance won't frighten those people? Are you afraid that sister Qiu Chun will frighten the two young ladies?"

Liu Bailu was not at all embarrassed when his mind was exposed, but nodded and said, "It's really the hardships I suffered when I was a child that made me a little scared, so I thought not to restrict the two children too much."

Fangmei bent over with a smile and said: "Madam, don't forget, there is a saying that you know people, you know the face, but you don't know the heart."

Liu Bailu was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the two of them, only to find that Qiu Chun, who had a cold face, had pure eyes, while Fang, who was full of smiles and seemed gentle, could not help but a little coldness slipped through her eyes.

Liu Bailu was startled, and her complexion changed again and again. She bent her knees and said, "I was wrong. Please don't blame me if I offend you."

Liu Bailu looked at the hem of her skirt, but out of the corner of her eye, she paid careful attention to Fang Mei's hand hidden in her sleeve, but seeing her sleeves swaying lightly, revealing a section of pale fingertips, Liu Bailu was even more shocked. Mei is in the clothing bureau!Even if she is a small manager, it is unlikely to have such a pair of well-maintained hands. Looking at Qiu Chun again, her short and narrow sleeves are stuck at the wrist, revealing half of the slightly yellowed white jade bracelet. Her hands are a bit stubby and thick, not very good-looking, but they look very stable. The hands are lightly folded on the waist, and there are some thin calluses on the side of the nail of the index finger. Liu Bailu couldn't help thinking of the traces left by needlework. When Qiuchun looked at people, sometimes he frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes, which seemed majestic. clear?

Fang Mei giggled, and the clear and high-spirited laughter circled upwards, attracting girls and women who passed by couldn't help but look sideways.

Qiu Chun frowned and glanced at her, and said, "Take it easy, don't forget what my aunt taught us when we entered the palace!"

"Okay." Fang Mei shrugged her shoulders, waved her hand at Qiu Chun, and said, "So that's it, who is not serving? There is a place for the elderly. Well, I said, we can come in and out freely Bar?"

Liu Bailu glanced at Qiu Chun and said with a smile, "Of course it's possible."

She was not worried that the two of them would drop their work and run out to play, after all, it was Chixia who introduced her. This Chixia was the No. So she has great trust in Chixia, and naturally she also trusts the people she introduced.

"Then, if it's okay, we'll leave." Fang Mei waved her hand, turned around and left.

Qiu Chun glanced at Fangmei, and said to Liu Bailu: "Sister Fangmei has been restrained for a long time, and she gets carried away after leaving the palace, madam, please don't be surprised."

"Nothing," Liu Bailu shook his head, and said, "I'll ask Huang Shan to take my aunt back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

"Okay." Qiu Chun nodded and followed the yellow shirt.

Liu Bailu took Zi Yan and a few girls to the big kitchen, it was time for lunch, and the place was bustling with activity.

Most of the people here were sent by the Ding family, and a few of them were just assigned by Liu Bailu yesterday, and they couldn't seize power in a short time. Liu Bailu came over, and the Yuan family hurried over and said, "Ma'am, why are you here?"

Liu Bailu's eyes swept across the kitchen. Someone blocked the door intentionally or unintentionally, so that she could not see the situation inside clearly, but she still saw the open food box and the half-eaten chicken next to it, her eyes flashed , smiled and said: "The master brought a table from the Phoenix Tower to honor his mother. I am afraid that something will happen. From the kitchen of the Phoenix Tower, how to clean every dish, how to pluck each chicken, except how How to butcher pigs and cattle, I watched everything else I could see, and finally put it on the plate with my own hands. I was afraid that the bumps on the road would make things fall apart, so I came back with my arms around the food box along the way. I just breathed a sigh of relief when I entered the mansion. Well, if he hadn’t received the order, he wouldn’t have sent it to this big kitchen. It’s not that he had received the order and sent him off on a business trip, and he was worried, so let me come to the kitchen to keep an eye on it, so don’t let the food become hot , let mother not like it, but ruined the master's heart."

Which one of the people who came out of Ding's family didn't go through the advice of their mistress?He knew who was the one to curry favor with in this Qi family, and who could ignore or even suppress them. Hearing what Liu Bailu said at this moment, several of them trembled visibly.

Liu Bailu sneered, and said: "It seems that someone here secretly took the idea to deal with the meals that the master honors his mother, that's all, you are from the Yuan family, and you are also from a rich family, so I won't say much about the rules, you Let me deal with how you came here on weekdays."

"Ma'am! You can't do this!" The Yuan family didn't take orders, but a fat woman rushed out of the kitchen and yelled at Liu Bailu.

Liu Bailu looked at her and said, "Oh? I can't do this? Well then, let's go to the main courtyard and ask mother and master what to do with you? Hmm?"

The fat woman was pale and silent. This woman is an old man of the Ding family. She doesn't know other people's temper, but how can she not know the temper of her own aunt?She shook her head again and again, and said, "It's fine for Madam to deal with it, it's fine."

Liu Bailu raised the corners of her mouth and said, "You were sent by the Ding family to serve my mother, so I don't want to make it difficult for you. I'm going to the palace today, the queen mother knows that I just returned to Beijing, and I don't have anyone to order. So I sent two aunts here. I will send someone to teach you the rules. After learning the rules, I will open a small kitchen for my mother, and you will go to the small kitchen in the mother’s yard to be on duty in the future. This big From now on, the kitchen will only be in charge of the servants' meals. From the Yuan family, you bring someone to take over the kitchen, this mother, please come with me to learn the rules."

"Yes! This servant will definitely live up to my wife's entrustment!" Was it taken down so easily?Some members of the Yuan family who underestimated Liu Bailu immediately looked at Liu Bailu with bright eyes, and hurriedly answered their errands.

The fat woman nodded in a daze, and reached for the apron at her waist.

"Madam, no!" Bao Baozi called out from the kitchen, stepped out and looked up at Liu Bailu, and said, "Madam, this big kitchen is of great importance. You are new here and don't know the doorways inside. You can You can’t just send us away like this, it won’t be good if something goes wrong in the future.”

Liu Bailu raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of tricks can there be in the big kitchen? Is it because we can't eat without you, or can't buy firewood, rice, oil and salt without you? The capital is so big, isn't it like our Qi family? Is the firewood used up?"

One sentence picked out Mrs. Bao's little thoughts, she was heartbroken, and said: "My wife knows that our Qi family has signed a one-year deal with several merchants, and all the daily necessities and oils and salts in this year The shops are all covered, these are handled by the old slaves, if it is replaced by other people, I am afraid that those merchants will not come to deliver the goods."

I'm afraid you won't make a move, Liu Bailu smiled brightly, she turned the bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile: "Since it is a fixed contract, then there will be a pair of cards for buying and selling, you hand over the cards and the account book and that's it!" I have always heard that people recognize the right card but not the person. Where is the person who recognizes the person but not the right card? If one day you get sick, for a few months, will the whole family have to drink the northwest wind? "

Bao Pozi looked at Liu Bailu and thought to herself why is this lady so difficult to deal with?Didn't you say she was very good at handling things?She thought it over and said: "Look at what Madam said, if this old slave is ill, he will explain everything properly."

"Oh? Alright, then you'll get sick." Liu Bailu is impatient and shameless!She winked at Ziyan, Ziyan turned around and pointed at two kung fu-savvy women who strode up and pushed Mrs. Bao to the ground.

"Ma'am, what are you doing!" Mrs. Bao was startled, and questioned Liu Bailu with her head straightened.

Liu Bailu looked at her nails neatly and said, "It's just according to your wishes that I made you sick. This sickness will take a year or so to recover. Oh my goodness, this kitchen What should I do about the matter? By the way, this mansion can’t recuperate the sick, so I have to move to Zhuangzi to take care of it, right? Come on! Go to this mother’s house and help pack the luggage!”
