Chapter 23: Greed
[Ran^Text^Library] "What do you think of the six girls?" Old Taijun Gu half-leaned on the warm couch and let a maid beat her legs, lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice.
Mama Chen raised her head, peeked at Old Taijun's expression, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The old slave thinks that the sixth girl's body is indeed not good, and when she came back today, she fainted directly." Imperial Doctor Jiang said that the six girls were already weak, and they were overly sad and depressed, so it was best to send them to a place with fresh air to recuperate. ”
Old Taijun Gu's expression did not move, and she said lightly: "The six girls' household goods are all supplied?" ”
"Yes, they were all sent, the best silver silk carbon, and the medicinal herbs, according to your orders, they were sent over early." Mama Chen immediately lowered her head and said.
"Hmm." Old Mrs. Gu snorted lightly, and then stopped speaking.
Mama Chen thought for a moment, raised her hand to let the maid who was beating her legs get out of the way, sat on the edge of the couch by herself, and gently pounded it.
Old Mrs. Gu's eyes were raised, and she said lightly, "What's the matter?" ”
Mama Chen was just about to speak, but she heard someone outside the door calling the second wife, so she hurriedly closed her mouth again, and only glanced at Mrs. Gu.
The corners of Old Taijun Gu's mouth twitched, and her fingers raised slightly.
Mama Chen hurriedly got off the warm bed, opened the door curtain and said, "The second wife is here." ”
Xue didn't want to eavesdrop, but the thought was spinning in his heart, and he paused for a moment, and saw that Mama Chen had already lifted the curtain, hurriedly walked in, and shouted, "Aunt! ”
Xue was born in Su Yibo's Mansion, and his mother is Gu Lao Taijun's sister-in-law, and Gu Lao Taijun is naturally the closest, and when there is no one around, he sometimes calls his aunt.
And usually at this time, it is also the time when she has a request for the old lady.
Old Taijun Gu slowly opened her eyes, looked at Xue Shi and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
The old lady's voice was too flat, which made Xue's face sneer, and after thinking about it, what he did was not for the good of the child, so he put on a smiling face, sat down next to the warm couch, picked up the mallet put down by Mama Chen and gently knocked on the old lady's leg, and said, "I just came to see my aunt and accompany my aunt." ”
The corners of her lips hooked slightly, and Old Lady Gu said: "Okay, don't go around in circles for me, the things there are in the six girls, don't make up your mind anymore." ”
Xue Shi was stunned for a moment, bit his lip and said, "Auntie, I didn't want to touch that woman's things." ”
She was naturally red-eyed with the large items left by Princess An Ning, but those things were made inside, and it would be a crime to take them out.
Well, she did think about moving those things, those materials are not available to ordinary people, change the style or re-engrave it, can't she erase the internal logo.
Her eyes were raised, and Old Taijun Gu glanced at her lightly, and said, "Don't move the things that He Kui gave to the six girls." ”
"Why?" Xue Shi was a little anxious, and his voice was a little louder.
Dingguo Gong has his own annual income and Guanzhuang (the court's reward to the Guogong Zhuangzi) income, although each generation of the lord has decreased, Gu Hekui when he was the Duke of the country still has a lot of income a year, nominally, Gu Hekui handed over this part of the income to the Gongzhong, but the money was handed over through Gu Hekui's hands.
Who knows if there's a discount inside!
What's more, Gu Hekui, as a general from the third rank of Wuwei, also has a generous salary, plus the emperor's reward after several battles, his net worth is very rich.
However, when Gu Hekui sent things to the house, he had always only divided them into three equal parts, one for Gu Lao Taijun to enter Lao Taijun's private treasury, one for the public middle school, and the other for Gu Xinyue.
It was Gu Lao Taijun himself who said that Gu Hekui was not right, it should be a big head for the public middle school, as for Gu Xinyue, the monthly case in the house has never been less than hers, how can she give another one.
Gu Xinyue's things should belong to Gongzhong and belong to the future grandfather of the country!
Old Taijun Gu's brows furrowed, and she simply sat up and waved her hand slightly.
Mama Chen hurriedly took the people in the house and walked out.
"As soon as Kui'er went, did you blush at the little property he left for his daughter?" Old Taijun Gu looked at the woman in front of her coldly, and her voice became cold.
I haven't seen her for twelve years, it's that Da'er has repeatedly disobeyed her, in the end, it is also the parent and child she conceived in October, seeing that there is going to be glory and wealth, and the Gu family can also ascend to the sky, but they died like this!
How she didn't break her heart, how she didn't grief.
It was because of this that she hated the woman who caused her eldest son to embark on this path and the child born by that woman, and she could not allow her eldest son to be seen without his bones cold.
And more importantly, this time Gu Xinyue actually withstood her grinding, really knelt for three days, and helped the spirit to the cemetery, the entire circle of noblewomen in the capital knew about it, and they also praised Gu Xinyue.
Gu Mohan knew that Gu Hekui would send something to Gu Xinyue after a while.
If something gets out, the second room won't have to think about attacking the lord anymore!
"I ...... I ......" was stared at by Old Taijun Gu's cold eyes, Xue lowered his head and muttered: "The daughter-in-law is also for the sake of the master, the master will need to take care of it in the future, and the situation in the house, aunt, you also know that it is very difficult to raise this family, where is the extra money for the master to socialize." “
The voice paused slightly, and Xue said softly: "The daughter-in-law is thinking, save some on the dowry, not to mention the eldest girl and the second girl, the third girl and the fourth girl, with the current situation in the house, you must always find a better family, and you can also become the help of the lord in the future, the dowry can not be too shabby, the daughter-in-law is thinking, the sixth girl will keep filial piety for three years, and after three years, the lord can also get up, and the house will give her back the money again, and she will always marry decently." ”
Speaking of the word marriage, Xue raised his head slightly and glanced at the old lady quickly.
Sure enough, I saw that the old lady's expression sank.
Xue Shi didn't feel a little proud in his heart.
With the old lady's hatred for that woman, how could she make her daughter feel better, not to mention whether she could survive until she became filial, even after three years, I was afraid that she would not be given a marriage.
After thinking about it for a long time, Old Taijun Gu's expression gradually eased, leaned on the cushion on the warm couch, and said lightly: "In short, don't move now, now Brother Han is still there, and the one from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is still staring, making a bad reputation, and it is Jing'er who suffers." ”
"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Xue nodded again and again, and after seeing that the old lady's expression was completely relaxed, Fang said in a low voice: "Auntie, I heard Mama Chen outside before that the sixth girl is not in good health?" ”
Old Lady Gu's eyelids raised and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
"The daughter-in-law knows that it is naturally not easy to do anything at this time." Xue hurriedly said: "However, the Imperial Doctor Jiang didn't also say that the six girls stayed in the mansion to touch the scene and were injured, but they were afraid that the illness would be more serious, so according to the words of Imperial Doctor Jiang, they sent the six girls to Zhuangzi." ”
Old Taijun Gu's brows moved unconsciously, and she looked at the Xue family.
Dingguo Mansion Zhong Ming Ding food for several generations, the luxury of food and clothing in the house is also counted in the capital, but Zhuangzi, is the best Zhuangzi, and the conditions are much simpler.
If you can't get sick in the Dingguo Mansion, you can ...... in that Zhuangzi
"Auntie, think about it, if the sixth girl really went to the mansion, with the domineering of the one in the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion, if we have to follow the name of one of our poisons, we can't say it clearly, even if we find out that there is no such thing, it is not good for the reputation of the Gu family, it is better to follow what the imperial doctor said." Xue leaned closer and said in a low voice.
And when everyone is gone, it is even more unclear in the storeroom.
Thinking of Mrs. Weiyuanhou's unrelenting appearance, Old Lady Gu unconsciously rubbed her brows and said, "Let me think about it." ”
