Narcissus walked forward with a smile and said in a gentle voice, "What are you saying, madam?
No matter who it is, the servant will invite them to wait in the side room.
How can we let the guests wait outside?"
After saying that, Narcissus bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Madam, please come in."
Lin Guyu raised his eyes slightly, looked into Narcissus's smiling eyes, nodded slightly, turned around and entered the house.
As expected of the people around the old lady, they always talk in one way.
Sitting on the chair in the side room, Narcissus ordered the little maid beside him to serve tea.
He smiled and said to Gu and Lin Guyu, "Madam, Madam Chi, please go over and wait.
When the old lady wakes up, please invite me."
You two go over."
"Excuse me."
Lin Guyu said gratefully.
"Go quickly, grandma can't live without you."
Gu said casually without even looking at Narcissus, raising her hand and looking at her nails.
Narcissus was not annoyed and exited the room with a smile.
In the morning, Gu Shi had already guessed Meng Shi's thoughts.
After going back at noon, listening to Xiang'er's report, Gu Shi was completely sure that Meng Shi just wanted Lin Guyu's help. housekeeper.
This home belongs to the Xu family, not their Chi family.
Since ancient times, men have been in charge of outside affairs and women have been in charge of housework.
Women have always been the housekeepers.
No matter which woman is the housekeeper in the Xu family, that woman's husband will most likely be the new marquis in the future.
Gu looked at his fingers with satisfaction, slowly put down his hand, elegantly picked up the tea cup on the side, and blew gently.
The aroma hit him, it tasted very good.
After taking a sip, with a fragrance lingering on her lips, Gu Shi slowly put the cup on the spot and looked up at Lin Guyu, "Sister, I heard at that time that Mr.
Chi used to have a wife, but he later divorced."
The smile on Lin Guyu's face remained unchanged, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, "Yes, I heard that we couldn't get along, so we chose to divorce."
"My sister is aggrieved for marrying Mr.
Chi."
Gu said with a smile, "After all, the family of the girl who filled the house has never been happy.
Although the child born is also the legitimate son, it is still better than the first husband's.
The child is born a little shorter, isn’t it?”
"Legitimate son" Lin Guyu's mind was spinning very quickly.
Xu Chong, the Gu family's father-in-law, was the eldest son of a concubine.
Didn't this also involve her father-in-law's aunt?
, in the end only those with talent will stand taller and go farther, sister-in-law, don’t you think so?”
Gu Shi snorted coldly and looked at Lin Guyu with a smile on his face, "That's not true.
Let's just talk about this man.
Without talent, how can he be a talented person?"
"It all depends on people."
Lin Guyu didn't want to fall out with Gu, but he also didn't want Gu to belittle Chi Hang.
"This person relies on luck and himself."
Just when Gu was about to say something, she heard footsteps coming from outside.
She turned around and saw Narcissus wearing a water-blue dress.
She stood tall and graceful, looking like a lady from a wealthy family.
"Madam, Madam Chi," Narcissus looked at the two masters in the room with a smile, "The old lady would like to invite you two."

Lin Guyu stood up and saw Gu rushing over.
He stepped back slightly and waited for Gu to walk over before following him.
As soon as she arrived at Meng's room, Gu Shi smiled and swung her butt towards Meng's side, and said coquettishly, "Grandma, I also want to learn to be a housekeeper."
The smile on Meng's face remained unchanged, she patted Gu's hand gently and said lovingly, "Okay, okay, I'll teach you."
Lin Guyu stood there, waiting for the two people to speak, and then bowed slightly.
"No need to be so formal, Guyu, come and sit down."
Meng said, pointing to the stool on the right.
Lin Guyu calmly walked to the stool over there and sat down.
Lin Guyu had learned some basic etiquette before.
Xu Feng asked someone to teach her on the way here, so there was nothing wrong with her etiquette.
Watching Lin Guyu sit down, Meng smiled at Mother He.
Mother He was busy going out to invite people.
Lin Guyu lowered his eyes slightly, feeling anxious.
After a while, six women in their forties came outside.
The six women had different divisions of labor and different responsibilities.
They briefly summarized the major events in the shop and handed over the account books they had prepared at the beginning.
After Meng waited for them to finish speaking, she first said something else sternly, and then said some things they should pay attention to in the future, typically giving them a slap and a sweet date.
Looking at this, Lin Guyu felt that although the housekeeper's work was cumbersome, it was not difficult.
Looking at the ledger was the most important thing.
Groups of women came in one after another, and each woman's position was different, but Meng's attitude towards them was indeed the same.
This afternoon, I was all listening to the reports from those people.
Lin Guyu felt a little tired after hearing this, but he could also calculate that the entire Hou Mansion had a lot of expenses, but it also made a lot of money every month.
After working all afternoon, Meng got tired and asked Mother He to send Gu and Lin Guyu away.
Mother He sent the two masters to the door, and then turned back.
"Daughter-in-law Yao is really ignorant," Ms.
Meng sat lazily on the chaise longue, raising her eyes slightly and looking at Mother He beside her, "I told you to let Lin Guyu come over to learn, and she still made a fuss. ” Mother He's smile smoothed things over, "Old madam, don't worry so much, maybe Madam just wants to learn more."
"She learned this," Meng frowned slightly and said disdainfully, "The Gu family taught her this long before she got married, how could she not?"
Mother He smiled, poured a glass of water, put it in front of Meng, and said, "This servant seems to have listened very carefully to Mrs.
Chi.
I think I have learned a lot."
Meng took the tea cup from Mother He's hand, held the bowl holder in her left hand, picked up the tea cover with her right hand and pulled the tea leaves aside.
Her movements were very gentle and smooth, "That child looks smart, but he doesn't know how to really learn."
How much goes in."
"Mrs.
Chi should learn quickly."
Mother He said with a smile.
"I originally planned to go to ask for the imperial edict this afternoon," Mrs.
Meng raised her eyes to look at He's mother, her eyes full of exhaustion.
"Seeing that Da's daughter-in-law fainted in the morning, and Yao's daughter-in-law came to make trouble again in the afternoon, I think it made the two families feel sad.
More or less, it’s all figured out.”
Mother He just smiled and said, "Old madam, as long as you are here, this palace will definitely return to its previous state."
"Really?"
Mrs.
Meng slowly lowered her eyes, looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup, and sighed slightly, "I'm afraid that I will no longer be able to control those people when I get old.
If I am gone, I still don't know this.

What will the Hou Mansion look like?”
"You are in good health.
You won't reach that point.
You will definitely be able to wait until Master Xuan becomes the young Marquis."
Mother He felt a little sad in her heart.
This huge Marquis Mansion is no longer what it used to be.
"It would be better if I were younger," Meng said feebly, looking up at Mother He, her voice full of vicissitudes of life.
Mother He has been with Meng since she married into the Xu family.
She knows clearly the hard work that Meng has put in over the years.
When I was young, I finally worked hard to build a marquis family.
From a small family in the beginning, it gradually turned into a big family.
It was not easy to gain a foothold in this mixed capital.
But now it is really difficult to hold on to the Hou Mansion.
Lin Guyu followed the Gu family to the door while chatting.
Because the way back was different, the two separated.
When he got home, Lin Guyu only felt that his back was sore and he sat lazily on the chaise longue nearby.
"Madam is back."
Xiao Hua said, walked out of the back room, and said with a smile, "The master is back too.
He is in the room.
He said he was waiting for you to come back and asked you to find him."
"I know."
Lin Guyu said, smiling at Xiao Hua, "Let's prepare dinner later.
I've been tired all day and I'm hungry."
"Yes."
After Xiao Hua finished speaking, he and Xiao Xue left together.
Lin Guyu stretched out his hand and pinched the back of his neck, then walked into the house, which was dark.
Lin Guyu closed the door and walked inside.
"Back" Chi Hang's voice came from the tub.
"Why don't you light the lamp?"
Lin Guyu said, walking to the table and lighting the candle with a fire stick.
"I have a bit of a headache."
Chi Hang frowned slightly and his clothes were baggy.
As soon as Lin Guyu turned around, Chi Hang's body came close to him.
The smell of alcohol came from the tip of his nose, and Lin Guyu frowned slightly, "You've been drinking."
"I just took a shower and I still smell."
Chi Hang's voice was a little unclear.
"Drunk" Lin Guyu hurriedly held Chi Hang's arm and asked him to sit on the chair next to him, and then sat on the chair next to him.
Chi Hang raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, "I just feel a headache, but everything else is fine."
"I'm going to make you sobering soup."
Lin Guyu said as he stood up and was about to walk outside.
Suddenly his arm was pulled and he had to sit back down.
Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang in surprise.
The man's cheeks were flushed.
He didn't know whether it was because the bath was too hot or because he drank too much.
"What time is it now?"

Chi Hang's voice was a little vague and he yawned slightly.
"It's already midnight, right?"
It was getting dark quite early now.
Looking at Chi Hang like this, Lin Guyu couldn't help but frown, "You can't drink, but you still drink so much."
"I'm really fine."
Chi Hang raised his eyes and looked at Lin Guyu, his eyes hazy from drunkenness.
The candles beside the table emitted an ambiguous light, which shone on Lin Guyu's face, adding a bit of tenderness to his usually deserted face.
In a trance, it seemed like I was back when I first met Lin Guyu.
At that time, she was not as white as she is now, and she basically didn't give him a few smiles, but she was the only light in his dark life.
Loving someone means being with that person for a lifetime, isn't it?
There can only be room for one person in your heart His idea became a joke in the mouth of others
