Chapter 379
This year is probably a suitable year for getting married. The Chu family married two girls one after another. The maids that Gu Fuyun brought from her natal family, except for Qingsi and Qing'e, were all snatched away by the boys from the outer courtyard.

Qinghong was paired with Zhou Qing, the leader of the bodyguards, Qingjuan was paired with Di Lung, the deputy head of the bodyguards, Miaoyin was paired with Peng Yang, and Baihe was paired with Peng Gang.Even Shu Qing was married back by the eldest grandson of Chief Manager Li of the Outer Court.

For these maidservants, Gu Fuyun prepared one hundred and twenty taels of silver in cash, a set of hair and five pieces of cloth for each of them.Even Mrs. Chu is also twenty taels of silver per person, and each person has a set of appearance.Let a few girls get married in style.

Caixia and Yunxiao, the house maids serving Chu Rui, are not too young. Gu Fuyun asked Chu Rui's opinion, and then the two of them.

After seeing the scene of Gu Fuyun marrying a maid, the two also shyly expressed that they would let the mistress decide.

Gu Fuyun then assigned the two of them to be stewards with some real power in the mansion.

These maidservants kept in the inner house have been with the master for a long time, their vision has improved in a straight line, they wear gold and money, and eat delicacies with the master, which is equivalent to the treatment of the deputy lady.It is unrealistic to let them submit to the low-level servants in the mansion, and they will definitely look down on these people.So Gu Fuyun found them all the stewards of the mansion, the ones who had little power and who were dressed more delicately.

After sending so many maids out one after another, although there were maids from below who came up to them, Gu Fuyun lost the kindness and comfort with these maids that he had when facing Shuqing and Qinghong.

It's just that without Qingjuan's noisy side, I still haven't gotten used to it for a while.

Fortunately, Qingsi was still by her side.

Looking at the five big and three thick black hair, Gu Fuyun was a little worried.

Qingsi said nonchalantly: "Girl, no, Young Madam, it's better not to marry me out, this servant will serve you by your side from now on."

Not only Qingsi is difficult to marry, but Qing'e is also difficult to marry.

……

After marrying the one who should be married, all the things that should be done have been taken care of, and the time has slipped into the end of June without knowing it.

The Wanyue Hall has been replaced with summer mats, cold mats, and jade beds one after another.Outside the main house, a large fan cart and self-rain pavilion are installed; the deep well ice in the house is also exposed, revealing a hole the size of a fist, and a floor drain is installed to prevent accidentally falling into the hole when walking.This thing is to dig a hole in the room and actively release the cold air from the ground to make the room cool, which is equivalent to a "central air conditioner".In addition, there will be ice cups made of huanghuali of different sizes in the house, put ice cubes, cover the lid, and the air-conditioning will be released from each small hole, which can not only store food, but also reduce the temperature of the room. Heat, serve multiple purposes.

……

In the afternoon of this day, the sun was shining brightly outside, but the house was cool and comfortable. There was a large windmill outside the house to automatically send the cool breeze of nature, and the water vapor falling from the rain pavilion could also reduce the temperature.Coupled with the ice cubes placed in the room, the room is quite comfortable.Eating chilled ice powder and homemade iced soufflé, don't live too comfortably.

In such a hot weather, there were still people making trouble for Gu Fuyun, so she had to leave the comfortable air-conditioned room and go out under the sun, naturally her mood couldn't be better.

Because the fourth aunt Tian made demon moths again.He actually ran to Mrs. Chu and cried, saying that his niece and daughter-in-law were harsh on her, and this month they actually withheld three hundred taels of silver from her.

Old Mrs. Chu would naturally send someone to call Gu Fuyun to Yanshou Hall for questioning.

The elders call the juniors when they have something to do, even if there are knives in the sky, they have to go, what is a mere Lieyang?
From Wanyue Hall to Yanshou Hall, it took half a cup of tea. Even though there were maids holding umbrellas and fanning fans behind their backs, when they arrived at Yanshou Hall, Gu Fuyun was still sweating thinly.

Fortunately, Mrs. Chu's Longevity Hall also put enough ice cubes and set up a large fan, making the room quite cool.Stayed in the house to rest for a while, drank a bowl of iced sour plum soup, and finally dispelled the restlessness in the body.

Only then did Mrs. Chu say: "Your fourth aunt said that you withheld the moon money from the Zhiluo Courtyard, is there such a thing?"

Gu Fuyun looked at Tian's with a question mark on his face, and said in astonishment: "Fourth aunt, I paid out the quota of Zhiluo Yuan on time and in full. Why do you say it withholding it?"

At the end of last month, Gu Fuyun gave Zhiluoyuan eight hundred taels of silver.There are also good reasons. The eighth girl, Chu Yan, opened the hospital alone, and from now on, she will take the account of Wanyuetang, and will not take the account of Zhiluoyuan.So the eight girl's share was deducted and used for the expenses of the eight girl's yard.

Afraid that Tian would find a reason to make trouble, Gu Fuyun said: "The courtyards of Fourth and Sixth Sisters are budgeted at three hundred taels of silver every month. Eighth Sister is young, so it would be wronged for her to count two hundred taels of silver. Could it be that the eighth younger sister is in the fourth aunt's house, and the monthly expenses are less than two hundred taels?"

Tian was speechless.Looking at the smiling Gu Fuyun, he gritted his teeth with hatred. This Gu family, at such a young age, is so difficult and cunning.

The more Tian thought about it, the more unwilling she was. For the sake of a mere concubine, she wanted to take away two hundred taels of silver from her. She felt that the Gu family had put the cart before the horse.I feel that her virtuousness has been misplaced, she is an elder and an aunt after all, and Gu's not being nice to herself, but only being nice to a concubine like Chu Yan, what good is it for her?So Tian decided to come to Mrs. Chu to cry.

Sure enough, in the face of her crying, Mrs. Chu still lived up to her expectations, and immediately called Mrs. Gu to question her.

Gu Fuyun could only raise his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Didn't you explain it to my fourth aunt before? The Zhiluo Courtyard used to be one thousand taels of silver per month, but later the Eighth Younger Sister set up a separate courtyard. According to the standard of the Duke's Mansion, every month The girls who set up a separate courtyard are all used for three hundred taels of silver. Therefore, I should have moved two hundred taels of silver from Zhiluoyuan's share of silver to Bamei's yard. Zhiluoyuan doesn't have to ask Bamei's again. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation should not be needed so much money. Why, Zhiluoyuan only has four aunts, four uncles, two masters, two aunts, and maids, a total of seventeen people, and eight hundred taels of silver a month is not enough. ?"

Then he added: "Grandmother's Longevity Hall has more than [-] people, and it only costs a thousand taels of silver a month."

Nanny Lu, who was in charge of managing the affairs of Yanshoutang, immediately said: "Young Madam, Yanshoutang actually spent less than two hundred taels of silver last month. The rest of the money was deposited into the old lady's private treasury."

Gu Fuyun was surprised and said: "Grandma's house only uses such a small amount of money? How can this be done? The fourth aunt's yard is not enough for eight hundred taels a month. Aunt Lu, no matter how economical we are, we can't wrong grandma. "

Nanny Lu glanced at the stiff-faced Tian, ​​and said with a smile: "Young Madam is also the one who is in charge of the house, so she naturally understands that as long as you don't buy too expensive things, don't hold weddings and weddings, a thousand taels of silver can do a lot. " Then he added, "Of course, if you buy Baibao noodles today and some emerald beads tomorrow, this amount of money is really not enough."

Gu Fuyun followed Nanny Lu's words and asked Tian's back: "Madam Lu's words are quite reasonable, did the Fourth Aunt buy anything valuable last month? Or did she create a new face?" He glanced at Tian The green gold phoenix hairpin worn on her head.
