"Yes, Ping'er will go here."

But after a while, Ping'er walked in with a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, who shyly saluted Qi Surong.

"Your name is 'Douer'?" Qi Surong said with a smile.

"Madam Hui, yes."

"I heard that before you came to Gu's house, you were working in an official's mansion?"

"yes."

"Why did they leave the original master's house? Their wages should be higher than that of the Gu family."

Although Dou'er's expression was cramped, her speech was clear: "Slaves are timid by nature and don't know how to get along with other sisters. They are afraid of offending others, so they ask the master to let the slaves go out of the house and find another livelihood."

Qi Surong nodded, quite satisfied with her answer. In just one sentence, enough explanation has been given. There is a lot of right and wrong in the official family, and it is not uncommon to see open and secret fights between the servants. Douer said that she did not know how to get along with other sisters, indicating that she did not like forming gangs and participating in disputes. But being completely out of the way is easy to be looked down upon.

"Okay, you can stay by my side from now on. This is my personal maid, Ping'er. You usually take care of each other."

"Yes." Dou'er was blessed, then looked at Ping'er and called, "Sister Ping'er."

Ping'er is a simple-minded person, and immediately returned a friendly smile.

Dou'er showed a shy smile and seemed to have a good impression of her.

Seeing this, Qi Surong nodded secretly. However, it remains to be seen whether Douer can be trained. She married into the Gu family and brought only Pinger as a maid, which is too thin, just like the Gu family had guests visiting before, and no one notified her.

After lunch, Fanghe, the maidservant of both parties, came to see her, and after a casual salute, she asked, "Madam, why did you arrange two maids for the third lady? Does the lady really blame the slaves for not taking good care of the third lady?"

"You are Miss San's personal maid."

"Yes. Is there any doubt, ma'am?"

"Then shouldn't you be by Shuangshuang's side at this time?" Qi Surong said solemnly, "I have seen Shuangshuang running around alone more than once. As her personal maid, is this not considered negligence?"

"It's not that Madam doesn't know that the third miss is..."

"What is it?" Qi Surong stared sharply.

Fang He immediately shut up.

☆、Chapter 71

Fang He immediately shut up.

"Miss San is lively and should be taken care of by another person. If you have any dissatisfaction with my arrangement, you can tell the master or the young master."

Fang He gritted his teeth and said after a while, "Slave and maid don't dare."

"Okay, let's go down."

After sending Fang He away, Qi Surong thought deeply. The traces on Shuangshuang's body are quite suspicious. She is not sure that Fang He and her aunt did this. She can only send another person to take care of Shuangshuang, so that they have some scruples, and then check it slowly.

It is not difficult to solve the matter of the inner courtyard of the Gu family. After all, it is only the family of the rich, and there is no complicated interpersonal relationship. Although he has a family property, his status and status are as different as clouds and mud when compared with aristocratic families. When Qi Shuo and Gu Chang made an oral marriage contract, they were in the midst of war and life and death were at stake. Gu Chang saved Qi Shuo's life, and the price was his leg. That's why Qi Surong and Gu Jinyun had this relationship. A marriage. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to get married in this family based on the disparate status of the two families. However, if Gu Chang didn't lose a leg because of Qi Shuo, he should be a high-ranking official now, and with his military exploits, he is more than enough to be a general.

The Gu family did owe a lot to the Gu family, and Qi Shuo did not regret the marriage. However, the world is unpredictable, and the famous family of the past will be ruined and the situation will be desolate. In the last life, Qi Surong married Gu Jinyun in poverty and in vain. Although she was a famous lady, she would not humiliate Gu Jinyun in terms of identity, but her arrival not only did not bring any benefit to the Gu family, but instead caused disaster. But Qi Surong also gave up on herself because of the repeated blows, holding that humble dignity. Ignoring the efforts of others, I ended up in a lonely end.

In the last life, the doom of the Gu family was caused by her, but this life is completely different. At this time, the Eighth Prince was at the cusp of the storm, unable to take care of himself. The biggest threat to the Gu family no longer existed, and the rest were just some ordinary opponents.

What the Gu family has to do is to form a good relationship with the dignitaries in the capital and develop steadily.

Qi Surong remembered that not long after she married into the Gu family in the last life, someone started targeting the Gu family.

The Gu family is mainly a businessman, and there are three ways to deal with the Gu family. One is to send people to make trouble in the Gu family's shop and cause all kinds of trouble. This method is considered the most inferior. Money, even if people are killed, they can't be held accountable to the head of the family. The second is to buy other businesses and join forces to set up the Gu family, causing the Gu family to lose a lot of money without leaving a trace. If this kind of scam is used properly, the Gu family will definitely hurt their vitality, and they will be constrained in their actions in the future and will not dare to cooperate with others easily. The third type is the most sinister, that is, killing people with a knife. The design makes the Gu family offend the powerful, and if he is convicted of a big disrespectful crime, the Gu family will immediately be allowed to pack up and leave, or even get killed.

Qi Surong has another purpose in rectifying the inner courtyard of Gu's family, and that is to clean up some servants with bad intentions. The Gu family was persecuted, and it was inevitable that there were traitors and outsiders secretly cooperating and betraying the Gu family. She wanted to prevent this possibility in advance.

Three days later, Qi Surong returned the account book to Butler Li and said to him, "Butler Li is shrewd and capable, please pay more attention to returning the affairs of the inner court to Butler Li in the future."

"Little understand, do your best." Butler Li secretly sighed, thinking that he had been worrying for a few days in vain, and thought that this lady would see something, but who knew she was just like that.

Qi Surong smiled, without saying a single extra word, let him leave.

Butler Li returned to the room with the account book, flipped through it, and his face changed greatly. The account books in front of him were not the ones he had handed in at all, but new ones that had been rearranged. Not only were they recorded more neatly, but all the places where he had done things were erased without a trace.
