Body 144 Deliberation
Guo Shu stepped into the courtyard of the Qian family, the courtyard at this time was a busy time, some of the servants were cleaning, some were cooking porridge and boiling medicine, it was rare for two people in the Guo family to be pregnant at the same time, which was a great joy for the Guo family, who had always been not prosperous, and the servants were afraid that they would not be well prepared.
Guo Shudao didn't care, walked straight into the bedroom, and after a few hellos, he began to diagnose the pulse, and Yun was also there, and the two happened to watch it together. Although there was nothing to do, Guo Shu still found a room in the courtyard to live in, so that he could be on call at any time. Although Guo Shu has the name of a county lord on his body, the Guo family does not have so many rules. The Yun family was born in a family and felt that it was inappropriate, but no one present except her felt that it was inappropriate, and it was not good to say anything.
A month later, Qian gave birth to a big fat boy, Guo Shun rushed back from the barracks, and under the great joy, even Guo Shu did not say goodbye and no longer pursued it, and looked at his grandson happily every day.
The only unhappy person may be Aunt Zheng, who hasn't been out for a long time. The custom of the Yue Dynasty is that there is a red and white affair in the family, and the woman is not allowed to marry within three months, for fear that the blood will affect the bride. But in this way, Guo Shang had no way to enter King Ning's mansion before King Ning's wedding. The first mansion and the last entry into the mansion directly affected Guo Shang's future status in the Ning Wang's mansion. Aunt Zheng stirred the veil for a long time, and quietly came to Guo Shu when everyone was not too busy.
"County Lord......"
Guo Shu frowned, the place where Aunt Zheng made an appointment was not biased, the Guo Mansion is so big, there are so few people, it is too easy to find a place that is not noticed, such as this small pavilion surrounded by rockeries.
"What's the matter? Hurry up, I'm busy. Guo Shu was not prepared to give a good face.
Aunt Zheng sneered, Guo Shu was already very face-saving if she could come, even if she didn't have a good face, she could only carry it, after all, it was for her daughter's lifelong happiness.
"County Lord, you see that the eldest young lady has given birth to a son, and he has made outstanding achievements, and I congratulate the eldest young lady. ”
"Getting to the point. Guo Shu said coldly, Qing'er stayed to take care of Qian's body, Guo Shu found an excuse to sneak out alone, and he couldn't never go back.
"Yes, yes, the eldest young lady gave birth to a son, according to the custom alone, within three months, the daughter of the family is not allowed to marry, but after these three months, if you make preparations, after all, the side concubine is also a serious person, and it will inevitably take some time...... The second young lady is fast again, and if she delays it any longer...... "Aunt Zheng couldn't help but be a little stumbling, although she knew that Guo Shu didn't like to talk about detours the most, but this matter, Aunt Zheng was embarrassed to say it like this.
Although she knew that Guo Shu might not be able to help anything, but in the whole family, the Zheng family died, and her backer fell in an instant. Guo Shun obviously doesn't pay attention to this daughter, and the rest of the people are separated by a layer of belly after all, so it's hard to say. After thinking about it, only Guo Shu still went to Guo Shang's yard from time to time to talk, so she could only come to Guo Shu to think of a way.
"Do you want me to violate etiquette and let Guo Sheng enter King Ning's Mansion in advance? In this way, even if she enters the mansion in advance, in the end, she will not be pressed on her head, and maybe she will be pointed at and unable to raise her head, do you think it is worth it?" Guo Shu felt a little ironic.
Aunt Zheng knew that she was at a loss, but she was really unwilling, and said cautiously: "I also know that I am at a loss, but... I just want my daughter to be better off than I am, I... I have not been happy in my life, I don't want my daughter to follow in my footsteps, although King Ning is not the best virtuous son-in-law in my heart, but after all, he is not good for Xiang'er... Treat each other differently, Xiang'er cried and made trouble that if he didn't marry, I couldn't do it... I know I can't compete with the princess, but... I really don't want her to be wronged, to be pressed everywhere, and to live as aggrieved as I am......"
Guo Shu listened with a big head, "Yes, don't you just want to have a higher status in King Ning's mansion, with King Ning's protection, how can she suffer, think too much, as long as you teach her some of the ways of the imperial husband, and then work hard to give birth to the eldest son, with her beauty, her family, although she is a concubine, but after all, she is also a person from the Guo family, who else in King Ning's mansion can bully her, you think too much, if you are fine, I will leave." Guo Shu raised his feet to leave, in fact, Guo Shu understood, and Aunt Zheng naturally understood, but Aunt Zheng had been playing the emotional card in front of Guo Shu and wasting time, Guo Shu didn't want to entangle with her, so he made a posture to leave, and forced Aunt Zheng to flop.
Aunt Zheng knows the temper of the Guo family, and most of them don't have so many twists and turns, especially at home, she will never say half of what she says and leave half of it for people to guess. Aunt Zheng was ruthless and said: "The county lord is smart, how could I not know that my mother left something, if the county lord is willing to help, I am grateful." ”
Guo Shu paused, knowing that this was Aunt Zheng's last hole card, if she lost it, let alone Guo Shu, Guo Shun would torture her because of Xu's death. But in the final analysis, Guo Shu said that he was not interested in what Zheng left behind, which was fake, but he still couldn't reveal anything on his face.
"I'm just here to visit the garden today. Guo Shu didn't stop, but after walking a few steps, she stopped again, Aunt Zheng's heart burst with Guo Shu's footsteps, she wasn't sure that Guo Shu would help, but this was for Guo Shang, no matter how slim the hope was, she had to give it a try.
"Ten days later is my birthday, you asked the second sister to write a birthday invitation to King Ning to show sincerity. Guo Shu's figure disappeared behind the rockery. Guo Shu used the forced sound into a line, although he knew that Aunt Zheng would definitely not release people around here, but it was still just in case, after all, there were still secret guards in the Guo family's house.
Aunt Zheng had given up, but when she heard Guo Shu say this, she was ecstatic in her heart, her strength in this mansion was at most to avoid people to find Guo Shu, if she did something rashly, I am afraid that Guo Shun would not let her go first.
But Guo Shu is the most favored one in the family, and she doesn't believe that Guo Shu has no power in the house, otherwise the Zheng family would not have been wary of her before she died, but she was still planted in her hands. Thinking of this, Aunt Zheng's heart was cold, but she had already gotten on the thief ship, what else could she do.
The weather is getting hotter, Guo Shu's birthday is approaching, the last time and the ceremony was just a flash in the air, Guo Shu also quit early because of poor health, this birthday, Guo Shun decided to do a big deal, in order to show Guo Shu's eldest daughter and the identity of the county lord. The post was all over the capital half a month early, and if you are qualified to come, Guo Shun sent a gilded large-character invitation, asking a famous artist to write it.
The Qian family was still in confinement, and Guo Shun handed over all the affairs of running the banquet to the Yun family. The Yun family was born in a family, and she is Concubine Yunde, the cousin of King Ning's biological mother, so it is natural to organize the banquet. But after all, the Yun family was still pregnant, Guo Jin took pity on his hard work, so he had a cold face, and let the Yun family hang up the name of running the banquet, and the matter was directly thrown to Guo Shu.
But Guo Shu grew up in the mountains since he was a child, where did he understand this, so he pulled Aunt Zheng and Guo Sheng together. There is no way, who makes the Guo family really not prosperous, especially women, this banquet and ceremonial banquet can only be played together so as not to lose face.
That being said, it costs money to hold a banquet, so he handed over things such as setting the menu and setting the venue for the banquet to Aunt Zheng and Guo Shang, and Guo Shu began to settle the Guo family's income and money in order to decide how much to spend.
But as soon as he took over, Guo Shu's head was bigger than two. The income of the fief is on the surface, the Xu family was originally a merchant, and the Xu family is a good hand in business, since the Xu family was in charge, the caravan of the Guo family has become the most troublesome and profitable one of the nobles in the capital, and most of the money of the Guo family comes from this, after the death of the Xu family, it was handed over to the Qian family and the Yun family to take care of, and it became more and more prosperous.
But among these, in addition to the property that the Xu family helped the Guo family make, there is also a part of the Xu family's own dowry. Old man Xu was afraid that his merchant's daughter would be excluded and looked down upon by others when she entered a top noble family, and he had no ability to be an official, so he compensated Xu in terms of money.
The Xu family is second to none, and the Xu family's dowry can naturally be imagined to exceed the dowry of any noble girl in the capital. The dowry is Xu's private property, and even Guo Shun can't use it easily, so naturally no one except Xu's knows how much Xu's dowry is. In addition, most of Xu's dowries are shops, caravans and even minerals, and after Xu's death, the old people have been taken care of by the old people who are loyal to Xu's family, and after Xu's death, the old people insisted that in addition to the share of several young masters, the rest was the dowry of Guo Shu's only daughter, so they refused to let Qian interfere. As soon as Guo Shu took over, all the accounts for more than eight years were piled up to Guo Shu, and Guo Shu wanted to escape.
But she also understood that Guo Shun asked her to clean up the dowry by herself, and Guo Shu had to bite the bullet, so for ten whole days, Guo Shu didn't do anything, just cleaned up the accounts. It wasn't until the night before that Guo Shu remembered Aunt Zheng's affair, and he was even bigger.
