顾昭笑着听<spanclass='character'></span>却不打搅卢氏这份好意<spanclass='character'></span>

苏氏又坐下<spanclass='character'></span>开始算账<spanclass='character'></span>顾昭第一次看到古代女人管家<spanclass='character'></span>前辈子看过红楼梦<spanclass='character'></span>就觉得苏氏该是跟红楼梦的凤姐一般<spanclass='character'></span>一会指定会拖出去几个<spanclass='character'></span>卖出去几个<spanclass='character'></span>再抓几个典型挂大牌子游街呢<spanclass='character'></span>

没成想<spanclass='character'></span>报账的报的快<spanclass='character'></span>记账的<spanclass='character'></span>算账的都快<spanclass='character'></span>苏氏的话很少<spanclass='character'></span>只是后来有个穿着很体面的婆子报什么三姑娘的嫁妆时<spanclass='character'></span>那婆子嘴巴溜得很<spanclass='character'></span>说话快速不打滑儿<spanclass='character'></span>她正说道：<spanclass='character'></span>……五彩百子如意边锻花锦绣被<spanclass='character'></span>工十九日<spanclass='character'></span>八丝加工一日<spanclass='character'></span>小头行减工三日<spanclass='character'></span>大红经线<spanclass='character'></span>每两束耗染费<spanclass='character'></span>三十八钱<spanclass='character'></span>按照维八就算<spanclass='character'></span>秋色经线<spanclass='character'></span>每两束耗染费<spanclass='character'></span>四十二钱<spanclass='character'></span>因是去岁刚流行的新花色<spanclass='character'></span>便从外面雇了新的倒画匠工奴<spanclass='character'></span>计每日一百三十七钱……

苏氏将眼睛从后厨账单上移开<spanclass='character'></span>一抬手那边就闭了嘴<spanclass='character'></span>顺手将那布帛账本放置在一边<spanclass='character'></span>苏氏竟与这婆子谈起心来：<spanclass='character'></span>一转眼儿啊<spanclass='character'></span>这小芳草<spanclass='character'></span>都成了芳草婆婆了<spanclass='character'></span>我记得那会子我才嫁进来<spanclass='character'></span>芳草在后厨管器皿的<spanclass='character'></span>对吧<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

那婆子赶紧一福：<spanclass='character'></span>大奶奶真是好记性<spanclass='character'></span>我自己个儿都忘了<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

苏氏又咯咯笑：<spanclass='character'></span>那不能忘<spanclass='character'></span>这家里家外<spanclass='character'></span>那一位不是三代都在这家里呆着的<spanclass='character'></span>咱家与别家不同<spanclass='character'></span>爷们出去卖命<spanclass='character'></span>陪着我们的不也就是你们这些老人了<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

卢氏拭泪：<spanclass='character'></span>是呀<spanclass='character'></span>几代的交情<spanclass='character'></span>有时候啊<spanclass='character'></span>若有个错<spanclass='character'></span>都舍不得罚呢<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

苏氏看了卢氏一眼<spanclass='character'></span>点点头：<spanclass='character'></span>嗯<spanclass='character'></span>婆婆最是和善<spanclass='character'></span>瞧瞧……这芳草啊<spanclass='character'></span>转眼也做奶奶了<spanclass='character'></span>听前儿他们说<spanclass='character'></span>芳草得了外孙孙<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

<spanclass='character'></span>哎<spanclass='character'></span>是<spanclass='character'></span>挺胖的<spanclass='character'></span>看上去可疼人呢<spanclass='character'></span>真是<spanclass='character'></span>我这张老皮<spanclass='character'></span>怎么敢劳费太太奶奶记挂<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

苏氏摆手：<spanclass='character'></span>怎么能不记挂<spanclass='character'></span>要记挂的<spanclass='character'></span>芳草呀<spanclass='character'></span>前儿呢<spanclass='character'></span>他们说平洲老宅年久失修<spanclass='character'></span>你跟你家有明呢<spanclass='character'></span>明儿就替我们跑一趟<spanclass='character'></span>这活儿放别人手里我是实在不放心<spanclass='character'></span>思来想去<spanclass='character'></span>也就是你们家有明利落<spanclass='character'></span>你们俩回去旁的也不要管<spanclass='character'></span>只管把老宅的烂屋子都算算有几间<spanclass='character'></span>破损成什么样儿了<spanclass='character'></span>围墙倒了几面<spanclass='character'></span>倒了的废墙<spanclass='character'></span>有多长多高<spanclass='character'></span>还有老宅后面的农庙<spanclass='character'></span>据说是也塌了<spanclass='character'></span>乡里乡亲的<spanclass='character'></span>上次婆婆还说要帮着出钱修庙呢<spanclass='character'></span>

也不是什么着急的活儿<spanclass='character'></span>就是要细<spanclass='character'></span>要算出需要多少砖<spanclass='character'></span>多少瓦<spanclass='character'></span>多少工匠<spanclass='character'></span>都一一录了拿回来<spanclass='character'></span>再作计较<spanclass='character'></span>这活<spanclass='character'></span>挺重要的<spanclass='character'></span>就只能交给你们这班的老人<spanclass='character'></span>你把手里的活儿放放<spanclass='character'></span>明儿收拾下<spanclass='character'></span>再去前面那牌子领个车<spanclass='character'></span>就跟有明去吧<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

苏氏说完<spanclass='character'></span>卢氏忽然放下手里的杯子对那婆子道：<spanclass='character'></span>去吧<spanclass='character'></span>就不必来告辞见礼了<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

那婆子咬咬嘴唇<spanclass='character'></span>跪下重重的磕了两个：<spanclass='character'></span>谢老太太<spanclass='character'></span>奶奶<spanclass='character'></span>奴去了<spanclass='character'></span>算好了就立马回来侍奉老太太<spanclass='character'></span>奶奶<spanclass='character'></span>爷们们<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

这边告辞完后<spanclass='character'></span>又开始算账<spanclass='character'></span>记账<spanclass='character'></span>

顾昭好奇<spanclass='character'></span>悄悄坐过去问嫂子：<spanclass='character'></span>那婆子可是贪污了<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

卢氏点点头：<spanclass='character'></span>嗯<spanclass='character'></span>阿弟看出来了<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

顾昭点点头：<spanclass='character'></span>贪了多少<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

卢氏笑笑摇头：<spanclass='character'></span>并不知<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

顾昭纳闷：<spanclass='character'></span>那如何是知道她贪了钱<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

卢氏笑笑：<spanclass='character'></span>五彩百子如意边锻花锦绣被面<spanclass='character'></span>是早就兴开的老样子<spanclass='character'></span>虽这里加了如意花边<spanclass='character'></span>不过就是多三日工<spanclass='character'></span>并不需请外来的工奴<spanclass='character'></span>她若换了花样我便不知道了<spanclass='character'></span>可是我不知道还真是少<spanclass='character'></span>若是她杜撰一个<spanclass='character'></span>我必然要看看<spanclass='character'></span>也好出去不露了怯<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

顾昭恍然大悟：<spanclass='character'></span>这样啊<spanclass='character'></span>这般坏的下奴应该发卖出去<spanclass='character'></span>嫂子怎么还留着她呢<spanclass='character'></span>就不怕她以后还害咱们<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

苏氏一摆手<spanclass='character'></span>那帮算账的都下去了<spanclass='character'></span>她这才扭脸对顾昭笑着说：<spanclass='character'></span>小叔真是不当家不知道柴米贵<spanclass='character'></span>她一家发卖出去<spanclass='character'></span>不过拿回百来贯<spanclass='character'></span>你看这城里的人家<spanclass='character'></span>有谁家没事儿发卖老奴的<spanclass='character'></span>

这芳草是婆婆嫁进来那年买的<spanclass='character'></span>后来又嫁了顾家奴<spanclass='character'></span>她家三代都在咱家侍奉<spanclass='character'></span>不说这里七缠八缠的事儿<spanclass='character'></span>这些年养他们的米粮是不是钱<spanclass='character'></span>一个什么都不懂得小奴<spanclass='character'></span>自小带大<spanclass='character'></span>什么都要会一点<spanclass='character'></span>待人接物<spanclass='character'></span>算账干活<spanclass='character'></span>光认认这官宦衣裳上的袍子花样就废了老功夫了<spanclass='character'></span>这里面耗费的每人岂是百贯能算清楚的<spanclass='character'></span>刚才婆婆不是也不许我重罚她吗<spanclass='character'></span>也就是抬抬手叫她过去了<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

说了吗<spanclass='character'></span>卢氏说了吗<spanclass='character'></span>顾昭扭脸看卢氏<spanclass='character'></span>卢氏只是笑<spanclass='character'></span>

<spanclass='character'></span>要是下次他再贪可怎么好<spanclass='character'></span>内宅混乱了<spanclass='character'></span>家宅可不宁呢<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>顾昭问卢氏<spanclass='character'></span>

卢氏抿嘴：<spanclass='character'></span>叔叔是爷们家学这个干什么<spanclass='character'></span>只要爷们争气<spanclass='character'></span>给撑出天了<spanclass='character'></span>好好的内宅怎么能乱<spanclass='character'></span>那外面名声不好的门户<spanclass='character'></span>世人都说是妇人不好好管家<spanclass='character'></span>把责任都推给妇道人家<spanclass='character'></span>这便是大错特错<spanclass='character'></span>

弟弟想下<spanclass='character'></span>若是男人争气<spanclass='character'></span>家用给的足足的<spanclass='character'></span>妇人至于出来为面子支撑门户吗<spanclass='character'></span>若是男人争气<spanclass='character'></span>妇人至于出去想折儿弄点子花用吗<spanclass='character'></span>什么叫内宅混乱<spanclass='character'></span>这些个花花草草皆是男人带回来了<spanclass='character'></span>怎么出了事儿<spanclass='character'></span>就是女子的事儿呢<spanclass='character'></span>弟弟要学的是支撑门户<spanclass='character'></span>支撑家业的本事<spanclass='character'></span>不要学我们这点子鸡毛蒜皮的小事儿<spanclass='character'></span>快点吃你的果子吧<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

顾昭连连摇头：<spanclass='character'></span>这话不对啊嫂子<spanclass='character'></span>这里面我看着可是有大学问的<spanclass='character'></span>嫂子<spanclass='character'></span>侄儿媳妇做的这事儿<spanclass='character'></span>户部尚书都做不好<spanclass='character'></span>真的<spanclass='character'></span>可<spanclass='character'></span>这钱儿贪得可是自己家的钱<spanclass='character'></span>这还是不对啊<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

两个女人一起笑<spanclass='character'></span>笑罢卢氏剥了干果给顾昭<spanclass='character'></span>一边剥一边说：<spanclass='character'></span>水至清而无鱼<spanclass='character'></span>这里面的办法呢<spanclass='character'></span>家家都一样的<spanclass='character'></span>贪钱不是大问题<spanclass='character'></span>谁不贪啊<spanclass='character'></span>那门子上的<spanclass='character'></span>那天不拿个一两贯<spanclass='character'></span>那后厨的鸡子儿（鸡蛋）<spanclass='character'></span>街上两个大钱儿一个<spanclass='character'></span>咱家买五个大钱<spanclass='character'></span>那里没有贪……若是计较的太清楚了<spanclass='character'></span>这府里的都该卖出去<spanclass='character'></span>一个你也别想留呢<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

顾昭大惊：<spanclass='character'></span>家里竟已经成这般样子了<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

卢氏与苏氏一愣<spanclass='character'></span>相互看看<spanclass='character'></span>接着哄堂大笑<spanclass='character'></span>卢氏摇着头<spanclass='character'></span>把顾昭拉到一边<spanclass='character'></span>声音略微小了一些道：<spanclass='character'></span>阿弟不知<spanclass='character'></span>这钱是咱们故意叫他们贪的<spanclass='character'></span>不若这样做<spanclass='character'></span>这院子里便没有那争先恐后<spanclass='character'></span>死心塌地为主子的下奴了<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

顾昭茫然了<spanclass='character'></span>他一直以为现代人多好多见识<spanclass='character'></span>可是<spanclass='character'></span>这一宗宗的打击还真是大<spanclass='character'></span>

苏氏笑着解释：<spanclass='character'></span>叔叔不知<spanclass='character'></span>如今门子上那家<spanclass='character'></span>姓包<spanclass='character'></span>在咱庄子做了一辈子老庄头<spanclass='character'></span>那可是老实人<spanclass='character'></span>对咱老爷子最最忠心不过<spanclass='character'></span>这眼瞅着他三个儿子都大了<spanclass='character'></span>都该娶媳妇了<spanclass='character'></span>婆婆慈善就把他们全家安排到门子上<spanclass='character'></span>当双日子的班<spanclass='character'></span>

咱家门子算一般的<spanclass='character'></span>一天不过几十位上下<spanclass='character'></span>叔叔没见过吏部官员的门子呢<spanclass='character'></span>那才是真真发财的地儿呢<spanclass='character'></span>一个月下来<spanclass='character'></span>比你侄儿的俸禄都多<spanclass='character'></span>外来的那个不随意赏几个给下面的跑跑腿<spanclass='character'></span>通传一下<spanclass='character'></span>

咱家见的皆是这府里上面这几位爷们儿<spanclass='character'></span>按惯例呢<spanclass='character'></span>公公是五百钱儿<spanclass='character'></span>茂德呢是三百钱儿<spanclass='character'></span>下面的小爷们不过就是几十钱<spanclass='character'></span>咱家四个角门的看门婆子每天也能赚个几十钱到百十钱的赏钱呢<spanclass='character'></span>

凡来咱家说事<spanclass='character'></span>求见<spanclass='character'></span>俱都要门子通传<spanclass='character'></span>因此<spanclass='character'></span>这包家的每双日便能弄得个几贯<spanclass='character'></span>待几年过了<spanclass='character'></span>再回乡下庄子<spanclass='character'></span>一院两进的青砖瓦房是没得跑的<spanclass='character'></span>

再说咱家后厨<spanclass='character'></span>如今管后厨的管事婆子姓芮<spanclass='character'></span>这芮婆子十二上就在前院大灶干活了<spanclass='character'></span>是老人儿<spanclass='character'></span>后来<spanclass='character'></span>婆婆做主<spanclass='character'></span>赏给了公公手下的一个武兵<spanclass='character'></span>可惜她命不好<spanclass='character'></span>成婚第三天丈夫就跟公公出征了<spanclass='character'></span>这一走<spanclass='character'></span>就再没回来<spanclass='character'></span>这芮婆子就守了节<spanclass='character'></span>再也没嫁<spanclass='character'></span>

一个鸡子儿<spanclass='character'></span>一把葱那俱都是小钱儿<spanclass='character'></span>可是<spanclass='character'></span>总要赏芮婆子个养老钱不是<spanclass='character'></span>你明着给她多少<spanclass='character'></span>她未必觉得舒爽<spanclass='character'></span>还觉得那钱是她该得的<spanclass='character'></span>

所以呀<spanclass='character'></span>就只能给她放在指手画脚的地儿<spanclass='character'></span>叫她揽点儿小权<spanclass='character'></span>管几个小人儿<spanclass='character'></span>找点小事儿<spanclass='character'></span>给她赚点小钱<spanclass='character'></span>她才说主子们的好<spanclass='character'></span>

再说了<spanclass='character'></span>后厨是主子入口的地儿<spanclass='character'></span>这一斤肉出三钵肉羹还是四钵肉羹<spanclass='character'></span>那都是灶上娘子自己拿捏的<spanclass='character'></span>因此<spanclass='character'></span>这一个鸡子儿<spanclass='character'></span>街上两个大钱儿<spanclass='character'></span>咱家买要花五个大钱儿<spanclass='character'></span>多出这三个<spanclass='character'></span>芮婆子拿一个<spanclass='character'></span>灶上娘子们要分一个<spanclass='character'></span>剩下的就是杂役们小奴们分了<spanclass='character'></span>这个啊<spanclass='character'></span>是惯例<spanclass='character'></span>

给你贪的<spanclass='character'></span>是我知道的<spanclass='character'></span>我不说<spanclass='character'></span>不代表我不清楚<spanclass='character'></span>这是短<spanclass='character'></span>我罚你并不用挑天气<spanclass='character'></span>只是随时随地儿的事儿<spanclass='character'></span>钱儿你拿了<spanclass='character'></span>再去主子碗里捞饭吃<spanclass='character'></span>这个就要受罚了<spanclass='character'></span>

他们心里清楚是老主人疼她们<spanclass='character'></span>可是<spanclass='character'></span>像芳草这样的<spanclass='character'></span>就不能留了<spanclass='character'></span>可也不能卖<spanclass='character'></span>所以就罚她跟全家去老家<spanclass='character'></span>数青砖<spanclass='character'></span>没个三五年<spanclass='character'></span>她也回不来<spanclass='character'></span>回来了<spanclass='character'></span>再安排她干一份受苦的活计<spanclass='character'></span>只看别人发财就够她难受的了<spanclass='character'></span>来来回回折腾上几年<spanclass='character'></span>包她们全家老实三代<spanclass='character'></span>所以呀<spanclass='character'></span>小七叔<spanclass='character'></span>不会管家的才卖人呢<spanclass='character'></span>咯咯……<spanclass='character'></span>

顾昭眼睛越瞪越大<spanclass='character'></span>苏氏那边还没说完呢<spanclass='character'></span>直到卢氏瞄了她一眼她才闭嘴<spanclass='character'></span>最后她还加了一句：<spanclass='character'></span>那皇帝还把自己喜欢的大臣放到富得流油的地方发财呢<spanclass='character'></span>这个啊<spanclass='character'></span>是恩<spanclass='character'></span>恩典是要报答的<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>

<spanclass='character'></span>是什么恩情要报答啊<spanclass='character'></span>我怎么不知道<spanclass='character'></span>茂德家的<spanclass='character'></span>你小七叔简简单单一个人<spanclass='character'></span>别没事儿教坏他<spanclass='character'></span>这不是他该听的<spanclass='character'></span><spanclass='character'></span>顾大老爷的声音忽然从门外传来<spanclass='character'></span>

作者有话要说：哎<spanclass='character'></span>文下几位亲真是精明<spanclass='character'></span>都猜出来了<spanclass='character'></span>搞得我十分郁闷啊<spanclass='character'></span>感谢几位地雷妹妹<spanclass='character'></span>火箭炮妹妹<spanclass='character'></span>实在是炸的我太了<spanclass='character'></span>只好赶出五千字感激<spanclass='character'></span>握拳<spanclass='character'></span>我会加倍努力地<spanclass='character'></span>
