was welcomed to the main hall, Gu Xinyue pushed and let Mrs. Jiang sit on the upper seat.

I sat in the guest seat.

Then, it's time for an introduction.

There are many Jiang families, in addition to the dead fourth master, there are several sons, plus grandchildren.

A whole bunch.

According to the generation, Jianghuai Hou and those rooms are Gu Xinyue's uncles, and the others are the same generation.

It's just that Gu Xinyue is the county lord and brought the royal family, so he can't come according to his generation.

Only the Jiang family gave her a gift.

Those concubine girls were originally dissatisfied, but when they saw the county lord's honor guard, they were a little counting on the county lord's meeting gift.

Gu Xinyue swept the faces of those people and said with a light smile: "It is said that the lord of this county should have a meeting gift, but everyone is the same generation, and the lord of this county really gave it, that is, he underestimated the cousins of the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion." ”

Mrs. Hou naturally hurriedly snorted and said no.

Angry with those girls.

Gu Xinyue looked at their expressions, she was in a very happy mood, and said, "I see that among these girls, why are there six girls and seven girls missing?" ”

The eldest girl and the second girl are in the long house, and they have been married a long time ago, and the third girl is also married, so the fourth girl who came to meet started.

But the back ten are all there, but the middle two are gone?

Mrs. Hou's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "This, please forgive the county lord, the sixth girl went to Huai'an before, and after coming back, she was a little crazy, and now in the family temple, some dirty things on the body are removed by the master's practice, and the seventh girl is too excited, she was crazy in the garden yesterday and fell into the lake, and now she is in a high fever and can't get up." ”

As soon as she said this, the faces of the third lady and the fifth lady were very bad, but they couldn't say anything to refute it, so they could only secretly glance at Mrs. Hou from the corner of their eyes.

Gu Xinyue turned her eyes, took everyone's expressions in her eyes, and didn't say more, and after a few more idle words, she said: "The county lord came this time to give an explanation of his grandmother's dowry to the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion. ”

said, sighed, and said: "Actually, speaking of which, it is also the misfortune of the family, grandmother, who was really angry with the fourth uncle." ”

Jiang Huaihou was stunned for a moment and said, "Where did the county lord start with this?" ”

Songjiang Mansion and the capital are separated by a distance of thousands of miles, the transportation is inconvenient, and the information circulation is inconvenient, and they really haven't heard of what happened to the Gu family.

Gu Xinyue burned Gu Dalang's own house, burned the second and third rooms, and the fourth room was angry and killed Gu Lao Taijun in order to seize the family property, and told him in detail.

After finishing speaking, he gently wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "The family is in misfortune, fortunately the imperial uncle has mercy, the fourth uncle's rebellion has not affected the elder brother, the grandmother's dowry, according to the clan, should have been inherited by the elder brother, however, the elder brother is still divided equally according to the four rooms." ”

As he spoke, he motioned to Peony to take out the list of the old family members who signed each room and showed it to Jiang Huaihou.

The old aunt and grandmother who have married out even have grandchildren, and her dowry inheritance is actually not much about her mother's family.

Unless there is a big injustice, such as a concubine plotting to rob his mother's property or something.

Now, it could all have been returned to the big house, and the general also divided the dowry equally among Gu Lao Taijun's four sons.

The Jianghuai Marquis Mansion can't say a word.

I also know that people come to show you, but it's just a face.

But Jiang Huaihou couldn't help but take the list and look at it carefully.

When the old Jianghuai Marquis married his daughter into the Dingguo Mansion, it was really ten miles of red makeup, and there were three boats with dowries.

But in fact, there are not many field shops that can really generate income.

When the old Jianghuai Marquis made the idea that there was always a time when the gold and silver were spent, but the field shop could collect interest every year, he was not willing to let the Dingguo Gong have income every year, he wanted to wait for the Dingguo Gong to have no money, so he had to ask him, and the two sides could continue to negotiate the conditions.

Now seeing that there are indeed many utensils on the dowry list, and there are few fields and shops, my heart wanders for a while.

Perhaps, what Mrs. Gu said back then was true, she didn't receive the money sent by the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion.

Otherwise, according to Gu Lao Taijun's temperament, it is impossible not to stay.

Thinking so, subconsciously, he handed the list to Mrs. Jiang again.

When preparing the dowry for the sister-in-law, Mrs. Jiang participated, and she also mentioned it, and the sister-in-law went to the capital, and there were fewer shops in the fields that were not very active, and it was better to have more gold and silver on hand.

I still have a number of dowry compositions in my heart.

With this sweep, he also understood what Jiang Huaihou meant, and his heart sank.

If the money brought by the fourth child back then was not given the Guogong Mansion, then where did it go?

The faces and movements of the two of them were in their eyes, Gu Xinyue smiled in her heart, covered her mouth and yawned.

Mrs. Hou hurriedly took the list back respectfully, handed it back to Peony, and said with a smile: "The county lord came the same way, he must stay longer, and in a few days it will be the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race, which is a lively one, and the county lord is afraid that he will be tired for a few days, why don't you go to rest first?" ”

Gu Xinyue nodded and said: "Well, this county lord has this intention, in the future, I will have to take care of Mrs. Hou more, and today, I will not delay the old lady's rest." ”

So saying, he got up.

Mrs. Hou hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to lead the way.

At the same time, he gave Jiang Huaihou, who had no face, a look.

Jiang Huaihou hurriedly took his younger brothers to give gifts and saw them off, and then asked the younger brothers to do whatever they wanted.

In this inner house, the female relatives are not allowed to see the outside man.

It's just that the county lord is the king, and he is his own relative, so he can bring it in to meet, but it is not appropriate to stay.

What's more, he still has something to ask Mrs. Jiang.

There is some distance from the main hall to the Tingtao Courtyard, Mrs. Hou has already prepared a sedan chair, Gu Xinyue did not shirk, and went directly to the sedan chair, surrounded by her own maid and mother-in-law, and went to the Tingtao Courtyard.

Jianghuai Hou Mansion covers a wide area, Tingtao Courtyard is one of the larger ones, facing Taihu Lake, there is a small boat dock in the courtyard, but after learning that the county lord has a lot of people, Mrs. Hou will be next to the two courtyards together.

Those two courtyards were originally guest houses, and there were few people living in them, so just put them together.

But after Zhang Qi arrived, he said that there should be a separate place to open the door, otherwise what would they do with the guards?

Mrs. Hou dialed a courtyard next to the street.

But it was forcibly transferred from the fifth room.

The place occupied by the county lord is very wide, and the fifth room is so angry that he is dying.

There are some opinions and snubbing.

When Gu Xinyue arrived, everything else had already been sorted out, but there were still people making trouble over there.

Without waiting for Gu Xinyue to speak, Mrs. Hou went to deal with it herself.

Gu Xinyue didn't have much to do, and went straight to the place that had been cleaned, and went to see Qinglianzi's injury first.

Because Yu Jue had already gotten it, Gu Xinyue didn't let Du Zhong and them go to investigate again, but cultivated well.

Jiang Lao Taijunba had to see Gu Xinyue, as soon as Gu Xinyue said that she was recuperating, she immediately asked people not to disturb her, and occasionally the girl who was not long-eyed wanted to see her, but she was also frightened by the county lord and blocked it.

That's three days.

In two days, there will be a dragon boat race, and Matsue Mansion will start to be lively.

And the guest house in Jianghuai Houli also began to be lively.
