Chapter 083: Follow-up
Gu Lin was stunned for a long time before she finished digesting those words, her eyes widened instantly, and her hand trembled and pointed at Gu Youcai's house: "You, what did you say?" Tell me again? ”
What does it mean to 'take the title deed and collect the shop'?
When did she sell the spice shop on East Main Street?
Gu Lin is not as expensive as Gu Jialuo, but in the end, she is the granddaughter of the grandfather of the country, the serious eldest lady of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, and the in-laws are also the earl's mansion, and when she got married, she also wore red makeup.

Among Gu Lin's dowry, there are four shops in the capital alone, and the most valuable of them is located on East Street, with five shops on the street and two floors.
Gu Lin's uncle's family happened to be an official in the northwest again, and he had a very close relationship with the Hu merchants in the Western Regions, so Gu Lin used the shop on East Street to sell spices.
The location of the spice shop is excellent, the supply is good, and the shopkeeper Gu Youcai is also a capable person, and he can have four or five thousand taels of silver in a year.
In the more than a year since Gu Lin married to Shouchun Bofu, except for the cold words of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law because of Gu Jialuo, the rest of the time was very beautiful.
Gu Lin can be so valued by her in-laws, firstly, because of her background as the eldest lady of the princess's mansion, and secondly, because of her rich dowry.
Shouchun Bofu is a third-rate nobleman in Beijing, there has long been a decline, the upper and lower masters do not know how to operate, but they have developed an arrogant temperament, in recent years, the house has long been unable to make ends meet.
At the beginning, Gu Chong looked down on the Xu family, and he wanted his eldest granddaughter to marry into a noble family, or a talented young general, but the Gu family disagreed.
The Gu family has been strong for a lifetime, and in order to suppress the eldest sister-in-law (that is, the Feng family who died early) and grab the name of an eldest grandson (or eldest granddaughter), he took the risk to induce labor, and gave birth to Gu Lin a month and a half before Gu Jialuo landed, and successfully made her daughter the eldest lady of the Gu family.
At the beginning of last year, Gu Jialuo was engaged to the Qianguo Mansion, and the Gu family was so anxious that he vowed to give his daughter a mother-in-law who was not inferior to the Qi family.
However, the situation is stronger than people, Gu took her daughter to attend various banquets everywhere, and the people in her picture looked down on Gu Lin, and the Gu family who came to ask for marriage looked down on her; It's easy to take a fancy to the door, but the object is not outstanding; The child is good, but the mother-in-law is a little strict......
After more than two months of busy work, Gu Jialuo got married, and the Gu family has not yet settled.
The dwarf pulled out the general, and the Gu family finally decided on the second son of Shouchun Bofu. The old noble, the family style is good, the mother-in-law is not a mean person, the key is that the personal quality of Xu Ergongzi is very good.
Well, that's him!
Gu Ze'an listened to Gu's analysis, went to see Xu Shanren in person, and felt that this kid was really good, so he agreed to his wife's suggestion.
Although Gu Chong is dissatisfied, the granddaughter's marriage is decided by the parents in the end, but fortunately, although the Xu family has no outstanding talents, they also keep to themselves.
For decades, the wind in Beijing has been surging, and the Shouchun Bofu has always been safe and sound, and the granddaughter marrying into such a family may not have any great achievements, but there will definitely be no chaos.
In addition, Gu Ze'an is not the eldest son of the heir, so Gu Chong's requirements for him are not so high. As long as their family can be safe and well, it is enough.
Gu Lin was a little angry, always feeling that her marriage was not as decent as Gu Jialuo's.
Gu patiently analyzed with her daughter, what Xu family's family is not high, she married her in-laws and her family will take a look at it; What Xu Shanren is honest and honest, the men of the Xu family rarely have concubines, and she will not be wronged if she marries......
Gu Lin was persuaded and happily married into the Xu family.
As the Gu family expected, Gu Lin was quite decent in the Xu family, and even her sister-in-law, the young lady of Shouchun Bo's son, the Yun family, also gave her three points.
Mother-in-law He took care of her in various ways, and in less than three months after passing the door, she asked her to take care of the house with her sister-in-law.
Husband Xu Shanren is also a gentle, considerate and good husband, whenever Miss Gu Lin has a temper attack, she will patiently tolerate her, and even bow down and make her happy.
Gu Lin felt more and more that her mother still loved her, and the in-laws and husbands she chose were all bad!
During the day, he housekes with his sister-in-law, enjoying the majesty of holding authority, as well as the awe-inspiring and flattering eyes of the housekeeper's mother and slaves, and at night he has the tenderness and sweetness of his husband, Gu Lin is so happy that she is surrounded by pink bubbles.
The newlywed was so beautiful, Gu Lin didn't have any complaints when she used her dowry to make up for the Xu family's deficit.
Until Gu Jialuo made a scandal, the He family and the Yun family began to be dissatisfied with her, and even verbally squeezed.
A basin of cold water was poured on her head, and Gu Lin came back to her senses: What kind of mother-in-law specially allowed her to be a housekeeper. The housekeeper is fake, and it is true that he wants her to use the money to support the Xu family.
Fortunately, Xu Shanren is a kind-hearted person and has always been consistent with Gu Lin, so that she is not completely disappointed in this marriage.
Taking advantage of Gu Jialuo's affairs, Gu Lin said that he was sick and quit his housekeeper's errand, tightened his dowry, and lived his own life behind closed doors.
After the turmoil caused by Gu Jialuo subsided, when Mrs. He proposed to let her share the housework, Gu Lin was no longer enthusiastic, and she really couldn't shirk it, she just followed the Yun family to fight, and the money was not sticky at all.
Subsequently, Gu Lin still looked at her husband's face, and occasionally took out some silver to supplement the family, but she would never be as 'generous' as in the past!
Mrs. He and the Yun family were secretly dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to show it. There's no way, who made Gu Lin the richest person in the Xu family.
Gu Lin also knew this, so she became more and more concerned about her dowry.
At this time, someone told her: Dear, your most valuable cash cow is gone, and it is said that you still sold it yourself!
At Gu Lin's red eyes, Gu Youcai's Qi Lingling shuddered, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and nodded: "Yes, yes, just now, someone is holding the deed-"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Lin had already jumped up, "Nonsense, when will I sell the shop?" "She's not stupid, how can she cut herself off from making money?
"Fake, it must be fake," Gu Lin was furious, and scolded sharply: "What a bold and reckless villain, the fraud has been deceived by my Gu family, and he actually dares to come to my shop to make trouble in broad daylight." ”
She went back to the Gongfu to find her father and mother, and took her father's post to Shuntianfu.
Gu Youcai's family was bold and replied in a low voice: "Second grandmother, my man has seen the deed, yes, it's true." ”
Gu Lin turned his head abruptly and stared at Gu Youcai's family, "Really? ”
How can it be?
Could it be that Gu Youcai has a crooked heart?
Gu Lin was not dizzy, her mind was spinning rapidly, and her eyes were full of suspicion.
Gu Youcai's vigilance, and hurriedly defended: "That's right, the deed is indeed true, my man has confirmed it with the scribe of Shuntian Mansion, saying that a month ago, Gu's mother by your side personally came forward and resold the deed of the spice shop......"
Gu's mother is Gu Lin's nurse, her first confidant, and is in charge of her private room.
"Nonsense, Gu's mother wouldn't do such a thing."
Gu Lin's first reaction was to refute, that's right, Gu's mother does have a chance to get the deed of the shop, but Gu Lin trusts her very much, Gu's mother will not betray her at all and has no reason!
Gu Youcai's face was bitter, "The slave doesn't believe it, but the problem is that the scribe said that the person who came to handle the formalities was a woman in her forties, white and rich, with a black mole on the corner of her right lip." ”
And these physical characteristics are completely consistent with Gu's mother.
A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the green calyx, who had been silent, and reminded softly, "Second grandma, we went to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing a month ago, and Mother Gu has been serving you, and she hasn't returned to Beijing at all." ”
It wasn't until half a month ago that the Yun family wanted to say goodbye to Gu Qiong, and Gu Lin didn't come back.
"That's right," Gu Lin also remembered, and said repeatedly: "Fake, that Gu's mother must be fake." Wow, there are really people who are not afraid of death, and they use this method to calculate me. I'll go back to the Gongfu and ask my grandfather to make the decision for me. ”
The green calyx stopped Gu Lin, "Second grandma, that Gu's mother is fake, but, but the house deed must be real." Moreover, the person who can set such a trap must know you very well and can reach into your room. ”
Gu Lin was stunned, and hurriedly ordered someone to take the box where the deed paper was placed, opened it, and found that the deed of the spice shop on East Street was missing.
"Who is it? Who is it that calculates me like that? Gu Lin was flustered in her heart, the people who could come into contact with this box were all people she trusted, and it was impossible for her to betray her.
Also, even if someone betrayed him, the key to the box had always been kept by Gu Lin himself, and it was impossible for even Xu Shanren to open the box and take the contents except her.
But the deed disappeared, Gu Lin only felt a chill on his back, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
……
Wenchang Hutong.
The Qi family's east mansion moved to a new house, and the new house 'coincidentally' was located in the east of the West Mansion, so it is still called the 'East Mansion'.
In order to distinguish the two prefectures of the Qi family, outsiders call the eastern mansion 'Eastern Qi' and the western mansion 'Western Qi'.
The mansion of the East Mansion is also a large courtyard with seven entrances and seven exits, and the eldest princess lives in the main courtyard of the central axis, and the name of the courtyard follows the old name of the Guogong Mansion, that is, 'Chunhui Hall'.
Qi Lingyuan and Ning lived on the east side of Chunhui Hall.
Qi Mianzhi and Yao Xiruo lived in a small courtyard on the west side, and Qi Mianzhi specially named the small courtyard 'Henglan Courtyard' in order to please his wife. Because Yao Xiruo's word 'if' is taken from 'Henglan Zhiruo'.
At the flower-viewing banquet a few days ago, Yao Xiruo was exposed by Master Miaozhen in public, making her lose a big ugly face in front of all the ladies.
Yao Xiruo was embarrassed, and after returning home, he became 'sick' and hid in Henglan Courtyard alone to 'recuperate'.
"It's so wonderful, I respect you for being a master, but you treat me like this......"
Yao Xiruo is by no means a good-natured person, although she doesn't dare to face Master Miaozhen openly, but she can't stand her 'artifact', her metaphysical medical skills can not only save people, but also kill people.
In the past two days, she has been studying the poisonous Gu chapter in the 'Xuanyi Medical Book', and she has gained a lot, Yao Xiruo bit her lower lip, and she already has a way to take revenge on Miao Zhen in her heart.
At this moment, Yao Xiruo's personal maid ran in, holding a letter in her hand, approached Yao Xiruo, and whispered a few words.
"What? He, he's in Beijing? Want to meet me? Yao Xiruo was shocked, and his eyes were full of disgust and faint fear when he looked at the letter...... (To be continued.) )
