On the other hand, Gu Ruanruan returned to his yard. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. After thinking about it, he decided to talk to Shuanghong.

However, when I went to the servant's courtyard and knocked on the door for a long time, I didn't see Shuang Hong coming to open the door.

The little maid living nearby opened the door and was a little surprised to see it was Gu Ruanruan, "Aunt Gu, are you looking for Shuanghong?"

Gu Ruanruan suppressed the anger on his face and nodded, "Yes, I came to see Miss Shuanghong, why isn't she there?

The little maid said: "Aunt Gu doesn't know something. Didn't the few remaining maids with Madam come to the Hou Mansion yesterday?" Madam said that it was inconvenient for them to live in the servant's courtyard, so she took out a small courtyard next to the main courtyard for them to live in. I heard that Miss Shuanghong was also sent to serve in the main courtyard. From then on, she and the lady beside Madam The four maids lived together. "

Gu Ruanruan's face turned blue and white.

No wonder, no wonder Shuanghong didn't want to be in the same boat with him, it turned out that she had already chosen a better master!

Gu Ruanruan was angry in his heart, but couldn't find a place to vent, so he could only return to his yard with hatred. It happened that Xiao Ruoyun also came back at this time.

Different from Xiao Yanlin, Xiao Yanlin was married to the matchmaker of the Ming Dynasty, and he was a perfect match with Gu Baiyu. He also passed the Ming Road with the emperor. He was supposed to have a three-day bath break, but the emperor abruptly added it to seven days, so Xiao Yanlin was here these days. In the house.

Xiao Ruoyun just took a concubine, so naturally he was not in this category. On the second day after getting married, he went on duty.

At this moment, I had just come back from work, and I was very tired. I thought I would have hot tea and rice when I returned to my yard, but I didn't expect that I only saw Gu Ruanruan with an unhappy look on his face.

"What's going on here?"

Xiao Ruoyun summoned up energy and walked over to ask.

Gu Ruanruan was so angry that he had no way to vent his anger, so he crackled and told him what happened today.

"I offered my advice to Madam with good intentions, but Na Shuanghong said it as if I had some agenda. I originally wanted to offer the accounting method to Madam, and he took the credit!"

She originally wanted to gain Xiao Ruoyun's sympathy and approval, but she didn't expect that Xiao Ruoyun frowned after hearing this.

"If you ask me, you should thank Miss Shuanghong. Housekeeping is the sister-in-law's business. If you suddenly intervene like this, it's hard for people not to imagine that you have other purposes. With Miss Shuanghong, others will Everyone knows you mean well."

"Okay, don't be angry. I know what you think. And now, hasn't Madam adopted your method of keeping accounts? She also gave you a reward of silver. Isn't this a good thing? Isn't it possible that you are really serious? Want to take care of the house with Madam?"

Gu Ruanruan was choked by Xiao Ruoyun's words. She did have such thoughts, but she did not dare to tell Xiao Ruoyun.

She knew that Xiao Ruoyun respected the eldest brother Xiao Yanlin the most. Now that Gu Baiyu married Xiao Ruoyun, she naturally respected Gu Baiyu as well.

If he showed his intention to seize power from Gu Baiyu, let alone Xiao Yanlin, Xiao Ruoyun would be the first to disagree.

But after saying this, the expression on Gu Ruanruan's face was still reluctant.

Xiao Ruoyun sighed in his heart, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

I had been busy all day, and when I came back, I had to look at the face of a concubine. I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, so I called the servants and went to eat by myself.

Gu Ruanruan also felt the change in Xiao Ruoyun's mood, and quickly cheered up, just thinking about waiting for Xiao Ruoyun to come back later to talk softly.

However, what he didn't expect was that Xiao Ruoyun didn't go back to his room after he arrived, but found a remote place to rest.

Gu Ruanruan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xunfu next to Xiao Ruoyun, "Second Master is already tired enough during the day and has rested now. Aunt Gu, please don't disturb her."

Gu Ruanruan wanted to be willful and lose his temper, but he knew that he could not make the same mistake again and again, so he suppressed his anger and asked Licorice to bring him a bowl of ginseng soup, and said angrily: "I don't want to disturb the second master, I just want to watch. The second master is too tired, so I want to give him a bowl of raw soup."

Xunfu took the things but did not let her in: "I will ask the second master to drink the soup. Aunt Gu should go and rest early.

The look on Gu Ruanruan's face became even more ugly. He was looking for blessings to guard her just like he was guarding against the maid who had impure thoughts and wanted to crawl into bed. After all, she was granted a marriage by imperial decree, so even if she was a concubine, it was justifiable!

His face immediately turned cold!

She remembers these servants who are all in favor of others. If one day she gains power, let's see how she deals with these people...

Gu Ruanruan dismissed several shopkeepers who were in charge today. He lay on the bed at night and told Xiao Yanlin what he had done.

"You're doing a great job. You don't need to ask me about these trivial matters. You can just make your own decisions."

Gu Baiyu thought for a while, turned over and faced Xiao Yanlin and said, "I'm still worried. Mr. Hou, you usually care about the military camp, and you dare to deceive the bosses with your connivance. Why don't I go and see for myself tomorrow."

Xiao Yan saw that she was getting more and more energetic as she talked, and she was not sleepy at all, but it was already late, so he put his hand on Gu Baiyu's eyelids: "Sleep, I will go with you tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Xiao Yanlin followed Gu Baiyu's instructions and went out together.

This time the old housekeeper also followed. He was familiar with these things and could help Gu Baiyu understand them.

Throughout the morning, Gu Baiyu walked to several places.

Just as she imagined, those shopkeepers who spoke out to defend Gu Ruanruan yesterday found problems in their accounts.

Gu Baiyu originally thought about expelling these people from the Hou Mansion, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yanlin acted resolutely and directly asked his people to send them to the government.

"They have made a lot of money. It is my greatest kindness not to harm my wife and children."

With Xiao Yanlin's resolute treatment, the servants who originally thought Gu Baiyu was too harsh had nothing to say.

Compared with the Madam, the Marquis is more powerful. If it were the Marquis who would deal with it more harshly, they should just work under the Madam.

Of course, if there are vegetarians, then there are conscientious businessmen, and there are also some shopkeepers who have been working diligently over the years. Not only do they keep the accounts beautifully, but they also manage the business very well. Faced with such people, Gu Baiyu changed the original price to [-]%. The reward was raised to [-]% again, which reassured those shopkeepers who were willing to do good work.

With this set of rules, Gu Baiyu made clear rewards and punishments, which gave reassurance to his servants who were originally worried.

They all understand that under Gu Baiyu, as long as they do things well, they will surely succeed.

When Gu Baiyu made his inspection tour, he also took Ji Hong'an with him.

He explained the form-based accounting method he got from Gu Ruanruan to the shopkeepers, and asked them to try it for a period of time and promote it if it works well.

Gu Baiyu thought to himself, since there is such a good way to save manpower, why not use material resources?

Although it was Gu Ruanruan who suggested it, she didn't believe it. Gu Ruanruan thought of it himself. He probably learned it from another world that he didn't know about, right?

That being the case, she felt no guilt in using it.

After struggling all morning and inspecting several important properties, Gu Baiyu thought about going back home, but Xiao Yanlin rejected her proposal.

"You've been bored at home for several days, how about I take you out to play?"

Gu Baiyu was a little confused. Where could he go for fun if he was out of season?

However, before she could think about it, the secret guards at the side had already moved towards Xiao Yanlin's dark horse.

Xiao Yanlin came, turned on his horse, and moved swiftly.

Then he stretched out his hand towards Gu Baiyu. Gu Baiyu walked a few steps forward. Xiao Yanlin stopped his slender waist and pulled the person onto the horse's back.

Gu Baiyu exclaimed.

The horses galloped towards the countryside like the wind.

For Xiao Yanlin, the greatest relaxation on weekdays was to ride horses and hunt in the woods on the outskirts of the city. He guessed that Gu Baiyu had never done such a thing, so he wanted to take her to experience the joy of galloping horses.

Gu Baiyu was indeed very happy. Behind her was a solid and hot chest that could protect her in his arms; in front of her was the strong wind passing by her cheeks.

After leaving the city, the horses ran faster, and Gu Baiyu felt that unprecedented freedom and excitement filled his heart.

She has been raised in a boudoir since she was a child and trained like a lady.

There are also women in Kyoto who like to gallop on horseback, but Gu Baiyu is obviously not one of them. Strictly speaking, this is the first time she has galloped in the wind on horseback like this.

The horses ran very fast, and the surrounding houses gradually became sparse. In the end, there were only wide roads and dense forests on both sides.

In the breeze, there are also chirping birds, and the air becomes fresher.

After another quarter of an hour on the horse, the horse stopped in front of a dense forest.

Xiao Yan pointed before the court.

"That's the royal hunting ground over there. With His Majesty's permission, I can go hunting without having to notify you. I'll take you to have fun today."
