Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 151 Do it yourself

It's a pity what, the mother and wife tacitly agreed.

Southern Qin and Northern Song.

When Song Lian was alive, no matter who stomped his foot with the king of Qin, Da Jin would tremble three times. Once married, the emperor can still sit on the dragon chair?
I'm afraid that if I turn somersaults, I have to come down and make trouble.

Now that the Duke's Mansion is going downhill, Song Hengye was directly dismissed from his post, the identities of the two are vastly different, and Chang Le is already engaged to Ye Lan, so it is even more impossible.

For some reason, Gu Qingyou always felt that every time Chang Le mentioned Song Hengye, there would be subtle changes in his tone and demeanor, but when he looked carefully, he couldn't see the clue.

Xue Lan said: "The matter of fate depends on God's will. If there is fate, we can get together no matter what."

Hengye itself is good enough, and he will not worry about finding a good girl in the future, so he is worried about Xue Lan's bad luck.

Seeing her daughter's sleepy eyelids fighting, she got up reluctantly and said, "I'm busy recommending beautiful girls these days, maybe there are fewer people coming here, you have to take good care of yourself here, don't let mom worry."

"I know mom, I'm not a three-year-old kid."

Gu Qingyou held Xue Lan's hand tightly, and rubbed her shoulders like when she was a child: "But you, be careful when contacting Meng Yan, if the emperor finds out, I'm afraid there will be another storm .”

"I save this point. You girls live here. You must close the door at night. Tomorrow, I will ask Zhang Yong to pick up a few more capable government soldiers. No matter where you are, safety is the most important thing."

After exhorting each other, Xue Lan hurried into the carriage in the dark, and the wheels rolled over the bluestone streets, and the creaking sound gradually became farther away.

Gu Qingyou stood on the empty street for a while, the cold wind in the early morning passed by, dispelling some sleepiness.

Looking up to the east, the morning star is already shining brightly, and it is a brand new day.

The opening of the workshop also required a lot of work, and Gu Qingyou felt that it was unrealistic to recruit 200 people at once.

This is not a modern place, and there are still a small number of women who come out to show their faces, and with so many people, some of them are bound to be far away from home, so she has to provide a place to live.

With a plan in mind, I don't want to sleep even more.

It just so happened that there were still a few vacant rooms in the small courtyard. Taking advantage of the frost to go back to sleep, Gu Qingyou re-lighted the candles, found out the long soft ruler that had been specially made before, and prepared to measure the length and width of several rooms.

The largest one can be used as a temporary job, and the smaller ones can be used as dormitories for workers.

Because just a few days after moving here, in order to free up the room where she and the maid lived, it was full of sundries, Gu Qingyou made a rough estimate, and was about to turn around when a figure suddenly appeared behind her, almost screaming in fright speak out.

"Shuangjiang? Why are you standing behind me so silently?"

Shuang Jiang lowered the corners of her mouth in aggrieved way: "My maidservant is sleeping, and when I heard the commotion here, I thought I was a thief, but when I came here, I saw you standing in the room and gesticulating all over the place. I thought~ I thought you were sleepwalking~"

She had heard from her parents before that sleepwalkers should not be woken up easily, otherwise they would lose their souls and become either stupid or dumb, so she didn't dare to make any noise.

Seeing that Gu Qingyou was holding a candle in his hand, it was full of sundries, and if she couldn't hold it firmly, it would easily cause a fire, so she approached quietly, thinking of taking the candle away while she was not paying attention.

Lu Qingyou stroked his chest, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I'm measuring the length and width of the room, but there are too many things to get through, so I can only make gestures."

Shuang Jiang stuck out her tongue: "The servants will do these things after dawn. Go to sleep quickly, and you can still squint for an hour!"

"I can't sleep when I lie down. I thought about transforming this place into a residence for female workers. It would be better to see how many beds there are."

Gu Qingyou put away the meter ruler, went back to her room, and drew a simple drawing according to the result of the measurement just now.

Shuang Jiang watched from the side, surprised and said: "Miss still wants to give each of the female workers a bed?"

The room is not very big in total, and it will be full if only a few beds are placed. If you want to accommodate more people, you should naturally open up the beds.

Gu Qingyou said: "The shop is too crowded and unhygienic, everyone is a girl, let's create a better environment as much as possible."

She pointed to the sketch and said, "This is a single bed. It will be made into upper and lower floors. There are four beds in each room. Even with the addition of tables, chairs and wardrobes, the space should be enough for eight people."

There are three bedrooms, which can accommodate 24 people. If there are more, the work room will be crowded.

Shuang Jiang smacked his lips and said: "The living is so good, and the monthly salary is high, whoever can work with the young lady is truly blessed."

"Why, don't I give you less monthly money?"

Gu Qingyou pretended to stare at her, handed her the sketch and said, "Give these to Steward Zhang's nephew tomorrow, and ask him to make what he needs as soon as possible. We have posted a lot of recruitment notices, and it is estimated that in the next few days People will come to ask questions one after another, so you have to sit down and prepare in advance.”

Shuang Jiang took the paper and put it away, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if someone comes tomorrow, you can let them stay in the servant's room temporarily, and the servant will come to you to lay the floor."

"Okay, you know I'm reluctant, so you'll coax me with these words."

Gu Qingyou showed her face and said: "By the way, after dawn, you can ask those little girls to see if they are willing to be female workers. We are paid by the piece, and the more you work, the more you get. If you are smart, you can make more money than them." Being rough makes the girl much taller."

"Of course that's fine. Anyway, they don't have much to do for a day, so you can finish the work yourself."

Speaking of Shuang Jiang, she began to pout again. Gu Qingyou was different from other ladies from rich families she knew. Others didn't touch Yang Chunshui with their fingers. They were only responsible for Jiao Didi to stop there, read books and play chess, and go shopping at the worst. just fine.

But this master, wished he could even wipe the table and sweep the floor by himself, and when he was happy, he would get into the kitchen and cook for everyone. Once he did it, several people could not stop him.

Every time she expressed objection, the young lady would have a lot of fallacies, and the most common one was the phrase "do it yourself and have enough food and clothing".

In fact, this can't be blamed on Gu Qingyou. She thinks that she has never been destined to be a young lady. Needless to say, when she was poor in her previous life, even if her mother made money later, but because she is too busy, Gu Qingyou has to take care of herself most of the time. .

Originally, Xue Lan also wanted to ask her aunt to take care of her daily life, but she was not used to having outsiders at home, and there were frequent domestic accidents in the news during that time, such as the nanny arson case, the nanny abducted the child, etc., Xue Lan asked her aunt I was also worried, for fear that something unexpected would happen and nothing would happen in the end.

Gu Qingyou is used to being self-reliant, not to mention receiving an education that everyone is equal since she was a child, and she always feels psychologically hindered when she instructs others to do things like this.

It was Xue Lan who repeatedly enlightened her and asked her to treat the girls as waiters in the hotel, and she was a customer who paid for the service. After accepting this setting, she would
Slowly try to get people to do the work of making the bed, washing clothes, and serving tea and water.
