Chapter 21
Stay until the third watch of the month, when the night is quiet.

In the warehouse of Prince Hailing's mansion, the warm air covers the various door and window cracks of the warehouse with thick cashmere blankets to avoid light, and lights are turned on after everything is in place.

And Cuiwei skillfully laid out the pen, ink and booklet she brought, and asked Gu Mingshu to sit down.

"Miss, we finished here yesterday." Nuan Feng searched, and found a mark made yesterday.

"Well, let's start then!" Gu Mingshu smiled sweetly.

Ever since, the three of them began to get busy in the warehouse.

The two maids took inventory of the belongings in the warehouse, while Gu Mingshu was in charge of keeping the accounts.

In fact, they have been doing this kind of thing on and off for many days, and now only the last small corner of the warehouse is left without inventory, which will probably be completed tonight.

When the dawn was about to break, Cuiwei finished ordering the last jewelry box, and whispered: "I didn't expect us to be quite capable, such a big warehouse, it only took five or six days to finish the inventory."

Nuan Feng also wiped his sweat and said: "This is just working at night. If it is like in the general's mansion, it will be finished in about two days. However, in such a big palace, the family's wealth is not much thicker than the lady's dowry. Speaking of which, it was quite lively."

As she said that, she glanced at Gu Mingshu worriedly again: "Miss, this family is not easy to manage!"

Gu Mingshu didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry so much about it, since we're done ordering, let's withdraw, and chatting here won't be too boring."

If it’s not good, let someone else do it!What a simple thing.

The three masters and servants were chatting, when suddenly footsteps came from outside, and an early riser servant passed by the warehouse.

"Nurse, why do I seem to hear something moving in the storeroom these days? Is it possible that there is no thief?"

"What nonsense, is Wu Ding dead when you are on patrol? It's likely to be a mouse again, just let a cat go in later."

"But……"

"Don't worry, after the flowers and plants in the garden have been repaired, the side concubine has also arranged for Wutong Garden. If you go late, the empress will be unhappy."

"I heard that the new concubine is fierce. A slap can make people vomit blood. If we deliberately torment her, she won't..."

"Be careful! The old ancestor said it himself. It was the woman in Lanyuan who wanted to win favor and deliberately let it out to slander the one in Wutongyuan. Don't worry, it's just a little girl's film. Besides, with so many of us, she slapped her." Come here?"

The servant walked away, and the conversation behind him could no longer be heard.But after hearing these informative conversations, Cuiwei and Nuanfeng didn't know whether to be speechless or angry.

"I said why people go to the Wutong Garden every day to find the lady to decide this, and it's so annoying to decide there. It turned out to be Concubine Yun's fault!" Cuiwei said angrily, "Miss, you shouldn't indulge this group of people."

Nuanfeng also said: "You just realized it? This Concubine Yun has spread rumors that Miss is fierce and jealous. What kind of good thing can it be? This is a recollection. She doesn't want to hand over power and wants to retaliate!"

After a pause, she continued: "However, the old concubine came forward to clarify the rumors, and also picked out two people in charge of the family, so that irrelevant people will take the blame. She is really able to suppress things. She is also very kind. .”

Gu Mingshu was still nodding in agreement when she heard what was said before, but when she heard the warm wind, she came to the conclusion that the old concubine was pretty good, so she said "Huh?" and woke up a little bit from drowsiness.

"Suppressing my fierce reputation among maids and servants, making them feel that I am weak and easy to bully, so they can continue to tease and abuse me. Do you think she is a good person? Nuanfeng, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Hearing the words, Nuanfeng immediately understood, and opened his mouth in shock: "It turns out that the old lady is the deepest water!"

Gu Mingshu yawned and stretched, not wanting to say any more: "Hmm, put away your surprise. Soldiers come to cover up the water and earth. Two sisters, are you planning to eat melon seeds and chat here before sleeping?"

This is indeed not a suitable place for chatting, so the maids hurriedly packed up their things and left with the master.

*
After Gu Mingshu went back, she didn't care about anything, she just slept peacefully, and slept until the sun was high before getting up lazily.

Before opening the door, I heard a nanny yelling: "Miss Nuanfeng, before the prince was in the courtyard, it was fine for the princess to be late. Now the prince is not here every day, and the princess is like this... It is true that she is not in charge. Looks like a mistress."

This time, there was no need for the warm air and the others to help, and someone responded with a voice: "Princess is not feeling well, do you have to force yourself to stand up and manage? This rule is really new, and the old slave has never seen it in other houses before. This The servants of Hailing Palace are actually more expensive than the princess."

These are the new ones that Gu Mingshu took over after selling the four or five servants who bought them before. In fact, they are all veterans sent in by the general's wife!

"This is what I said, we are also for the Hailing Palace. There are so many things, there is no one who can make decisions, and the rest of the work can't be done." The ridicule is in the eyes.

After all, the new nuns were outnumbered, and were soon overwhelmed by the crowd of Yun Qianxue's sect.

Gu Mingshu glanced at the newspaper brochures piled up on the table, flipped through them casually, and there was no doubt that it wasn't a shortage of something and she had to approve a note to release the money, it was someone who wanted to ask for leave, or someone had a conflict with whom. Do not work well.

Nothing major, just annoying like mosquitoes.

She took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out.

In the yard outside the house, a huge group of people were waiting for her to criticize, take charge of, and even criticize.

Gu Mingshu recalled some days in her previous life when she was so exhausted by such trivial matters that she vomited blood.

Then, a perfect smile hung on the corner of her lips.

"Nuanfeng, this nanny is the old man in the family and the right-hand man of the side concubine. She has a policy for managing the family. Just listen to it. What are you arguing about?"

When the mother heard this, she immediately became proud, and raised her nose and raised her face: "Oh, my good princess, you've woken up. Come and help the old man approve this, the old man is still in a hurry to go out to buy! "

Gu Mingshu waved his hand, without even looking at her: "No hurry. Nuanfeng, go and ask the side concubine to come over."

"Now she is in charge of the accounts. I still have to pay her for this approval, and I have to reconcile the accounts with her later. It's better to let her approve everything directly as before, and get the money after the approval, which saves time and effort. I have no experience in asking for a leave of absence, so I just asked her to teach me."

"Hey! Good!"

The warm wind took the lead, and left like a gust of wind, and the gang of people didn't react.

Gu Mingshu then said softly: "Everyone, please wait here for the side concubine. My concubine is going to have a meal first. After all, I am really a little uncomfortable. If I can't hold back when I greet you later, you will have to fall into a bully." It's not good to have the reputation of being a slave."

The crowd who were buzzing before were all silent.

Gu Mingshu was very satisfied with everyone's reactions.It seems that as long as the hat is fastened well, it doesn't matter whether Qin Yue is here to give her a false prestige.This is good!

Gu Mingshu finished his meal, and the warm wind just came back, but Yun Qianxue didn't come.

"Concubine Yun said that she has just recovered from her illness, and she has a lot of things to do, and she really can't get away."

This result is expected, but it doesn't mean that Gu Mingshu will give up.

She turned her head and went to the waiting maids and nurses in the outer courtyard and said: "The side concubine has a hard time managing all kinds of affairs, and it is not appropriate for her to go back and forth. Ladies and gentlemen, why don't we go to Tingxue Tower and wait. You can deal with it." Questions, I observe and study."

Nuanfeng and Cuiwei came out with a stack of booklets each, and said to everyone: "Everyone, let's hurry up and leave. If it takes longer, it will be noon. It's not good to delay work. I don't know, I thought the side concubine Discipline is not strict!"

They are such a large group of people who come to bother Gu Mingshu when they see the sky, don't they just want to delay something, according to Gu Mingshu's responsibility of "young and ignorant, incompetent housekeeper"?

"Miss Nuanfeng's words are wrong. Now the man in charge of personnel affairs in the mansion is the little princess. What does it have to do with the side concubine?"

Gu Mingshu said: "My concubine has not yet formally taken charge of the house, but now I am getting familiar with the family affairs. Recently, there have been a lot of things happening to you, and I also have a lot of doubts in my heart. I just asked my side concubine, who has been the housekeeper all year round, to clarify my doubts. How can I say no?" What's the matter?"

The old lady who spoke curled her lips, speechless.

"Okay everyone, let's go there!"

With that said, she made a gesture to leave.

Seeing that Gu Mingshu was serious about it, those who were trying to cause trouble with bad intentions were discouraged first.

They were instructed to find unhappy things for Gu Mingshu, but now that unhappy things are about to be transferred to Yun Qianxue by Gu Mingshu, how dare they really follow her.

"Princess, this servant suddenly remembered that there are still some good mushrooms in the cabinet in the storage room, so I don't need to buy them for the time being."

"Princess, this old slave was also in a hurry and confused for a while, and I still have the washing bucket I reported earlier."

"Um, princess, we both thought about our family and the prosperity of everything. It is really wrong for us slaves to have conflicts over trivial matters. If it delays the important affairs of the masters, it would be a heinous crime. Let's shake hands and make peace. Go down and do something."

……

One by one, they withdrew their reports and went to work.

In a short time, the large group of people in Gu Mingshu's yard left in sevens and eighties, and the few remaining people really had something to do.
