231. Funeral (2)
Cai took the roster from Mei Niang's hand, glanced at it casually, and found that the arrangement in the house was very messy, she was born in the Cai family of Yanzhou, married to Anbei Houfu for many years, and has long been accustomed to presiding over the feed, as soon as she saw the messy arrangement of the Ningguo Mansion, she immediately took the lead and instructed the people in the main house to do some funeral matters.
Mei Niang stood aside with a slight surprise on her face, Mrs. An Beihou didn't treat herself as an outsider too much, even if the Wei and Gu families were close to each other, they were only cousins, and Grandpa Guo hadn't opened her mouth to ask her for help, so she consciously sat here and pointed fingers, so that others saw it and thought that several relatives of the Gu family were dead, so they invited the daughter-in-law of the aunt's family to take care of the middle feed at such a funeral.
Cai Shi flipped through the roster while instructing Mei Niang to go to the big kitchen to see the matters on the stove, Mei Niang never responded, she raised her head and looked at her unhappily: "Why don't you go yet?"
Mei Niang leaned over and saluted, her tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "Grandpa Guo has instructed the concubine to ask the concubine to guard the lady in the main room, and the concubine can't leave, otherwise let Chun'er beside the concubine help take a look?"
Having said that, she didn't directly order Chun'er, but looked up at Cai, as if asking what she meant.
Cai's face was a little unpleasant, she frowned and looked at Mei Niang, "What? I can't tell you an aunt? Or do you feel at ease if I'm guarding here?"
Meiniang hung her head and replied: "The concubine doesn't dare, it's just that the princess of the country asked the concubine to guard here, and without the orders of the grandfather of the country, the concubine didn't dare to leave without permission." ”
Cai Shi was pushed back by her soft words, and he rushed up in anger.
As soon as Chang died, the concubine room in the house dared to enter the house and occupy the main room, and dared to say that it was Gu Zhongyong's order, no matter how confused Gu Zhongyong was, he would not let her be such a concubine inside and out of the funeral, and dare to rely on Chang's death to step on Chang's throne, then she can't be blamed for not being emotional.
Cai Shi snorted coldly: "Who gave you such the courage to dare to pull the grandfather of the country out to say something? Mrs. Gu just died, you think that there is no one above, you can do whatever you want?"
How dare Mei Niang let her put such a hat on her head, she hurriedly opened her mouth to defend: "Mrs. Wei has wronged the concubine, it is indeed the order of Grandpa Guo, if you don't believe it, you can ask Grandpa Guo......"
Cai interrupted her impatiently, pointed at her and said to the mother-in-law who was waiting on the side, "You pull her down for me." ”
Several mothers-in-law looked at each other, but they didn't dare to disobey her orders, so they stepped forward and dragged their eyebrows out.
Mei Niang saw the figure walking outside the glass window at a glance, and opened her throat and cried loudly: "Mrs. Wei, what did ......the concubine do wrong?
Cai didn't expect her to shout loudly without manners, listening to the meaning of her words, or did she ignore Chang's death, she must stir up trouble in the Gu family?
Huang's mother was instructed to walk quickly to Mei Niang's side, raised her hand and gave Mei Niang a heavy slap, Mei Niang's half face was red, and a clear slap mark appeared on her face.
Gu Zhongyong heard movement in the house outside, and as soon as he walked in, he saw Mei Niang being slapped with a frame, and her voice was cold.
"Mrs. Wei has such a big temper, but what did I do not do well to provoke Mrs. Wei to be angry with my family?"
Cai Shi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Gu Zhongyong to say this, and the look on his face was instantly difficult to see.
Gu Zhongyong glanced coldly at the two mothers-in-law who were holding Mei Niang, and one of them who was not so good-tempered gave a kick, kicked the two of them to the ground, and scolded in a deep voice: "You two eat things inside and outside, the master in the mansion doesn't recognize them, dare to commit such a crime, it's damned!"
Gu Zhongyong scolded and asked the two mothers-in-law to pull them out, "Go find someone to sell them all, we can't afford such a slave in our house!"
The corners of Cai's heart ached, Gu Zhongyong was scolding her subordinates, she was simply scolding her, she kindly helped Gu Mansion to preside over the middle feed, but in the end it was still her big temper, Gu Zhongyong was simply a fool! Chang Shi had just died a few days ago, and the concubines in the mansion were arrogant, did he have long eyes, at such an important funeral, if it was rumored that he was disrespectful to his wife, it was not a joke!
Cai Shi looked at Gu Zhongyong and said coldly: "Master Hou knew that Mrs. Gu had died, so he asked me to come to the Gu family to help as soon as possible, if something didn't go well, I would forgive Grandpa Guo," he turned his head and looked at Mei Niang, "This concubine room is too formless, I just asked her to go to the kitchen to see if the food on the stove can be ordered, and she refused to go, Mrs. Gu hasn't even passed the first seven, and the people below have already dared to be so lax...... This is really the grandfather's family, if it is put in someone else's house, I am afraid it will ......"
"I asked her to guard Ah Xin. Gu Zhongyong didn't seem to hear Cai's warning at all, and said lightly, then turned to Mei Niang and said, "You go and see how the incense and candles on Madame's side are lit, and the spiritual position is also to be cleaned up, and it must be put in order, don't let Madame feel at ease." ”
Meiniang covered her face, whispered a promise, and retreated.
Cai's face was even worse, he raised his chin, and the fire in his heart burned even more, "Gu Zhongyong, you ......"
In the middle of her words, someone lifted the curtain and came in, it was a few women dressed as wives, dressed very plainly, at first glance, they came to mourn Chang's, with tears on their faces, covering their faces with a handkerchief, seeing Gu Zhongyong, they saluted respectfully.
Cai's voice was closed, but her face was even worse, she recognized these two people as people from the Gu family, cousin Gu Zhongyong, and the daughter-in-law of the third and fourth families.
Gu Min said while wiping his tears: "The seventh brother and daughter-in-law left too suddenly, our lord just heard the news and told me that the seventh brother is not easy, there is no woman in the family who presides over the feed, and I don't know how to handle this funeral, let me come over with the third sister-in-law to see if there is anything I can help." ”
Gu Wang also spoke: "Your third brother also said so, you can't write two Gu characters in one stroke, we haven't had much place to help you over the years, but you have helped the people in the clan, he has been unhappy in his heart, this is not the letter he only received today, so he hurriedly sent me over." ”
Gu Zhongyong had a relieved expression on his face, nodded and said: "The third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law have a heart, the house has been in chaos for the past few days, and it is Ah Xin who is in charge of these things on weekdays, but now that she has gone, she doesn't even have a use, I am afraid that something will happen to her, so I temporarily let the concubines in the house look at it, now it's okay, with you here, I can also save a little worry......
[There will be a more in a while, and there have been fewer recently, and the little meaning is a little Carvin, and after this period will work hard to be more, thank you for your support!]
