Chapter 176: Angry Old Monster
The main entrance of the Dingguo Mansion was wide open, and along the steps stood two rows of male servants in green clothes, and inside were two rows of maids and maids.
Cai Wei and Peony stepped forward, opened the car door, and helped Gu Xinyue down.
The people in front of the door all knelt on the ground, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Gu Xinyue glanced at the black and oppressive head, looked up at the plaque of the majestic and solemn Dingguo Mansion, pursed her lips slightly, held Cai Wei's hand, went up the steps, and stepped into the threshold.
Without getting on the prepared soft sedan chair, Gu Xinyue walked in directly.
It was already the middle of winter, and the yard was gray and white, with the occasional few evergreen trees standing on the side of the road, dotting a little bit of life.
Compared with when I left, there were many fewer people in the house, but the rules were much quieter.
Walking all the way into the main courtyard, Gu Xinyue stopped at the entrance of the main courtyard, looked sideways at Wen Zhu who was waiting at the door, and nodded: "You did a good job." ”
Wen Zhu bent his eyebrows and smiled, bowed down and saluted again, and said, "The girl will go to see the old lady first?" ”
"Hmm." Gu Xinyue replied and had already walked into the main courtyard.
The main courtyard in my memory is full of flowers, and it is always lively, and the maids who come and go are all dressed in bright colors, which are more delicate than ordinary young ladies, and those sisters and sisters are like warblers, and the crisp laughter can melt the snow.
And the original body, most of the time, stood outside the door to punish standing, or punished kneeling, listening to the laughter inside, smelling the aroma of rice inside......
Now the main courtyard is much more refreshing.
In addition to Wenzhu, there are also eight maids with inconspicuous complexions standing under the corridor, one by one with their eyebrows lowered, and the bird cages and other things on the corridor have already been emptied.
Even the mothers-in-law who were cleaning also stood quietly to the side one by one, not daring to make a loud noise.
Gu Xinyue turned around and gave Wen Zhu an appreciative look.
Wen Zhu took a few steps forward, lifted the door curtain, and shouted softly inside: "Old lady, the county lord has come to see you." ”
There was a dull rumbling in the room.
Gu Xinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, stepped in lightly, and walked straight into the old lady's bedroom.
I haven't seen her for a month, the old lady's face is flushed, her face is plump, her body is still stiff and unable to move, and a pair of cloudy eyes are staring at Gu Xinyue fiercely.
Gu Xinyue casually sat down on the chair next to her, looked around, and said, "The old lady looks to be doing well, Wen Zhu, you didn't lose the old lady, right?" ”
"Go back to the county master, the slaves and maids dare, this every day, are stewed good bone broth, broth, chicken soup, bird's nest abalone and other rare things are available every day, the ginseng sent by the girl, the old lady has to drink a cup every day." Wen Zhu replied respectfully.
Gu Xinyue looked at the old lady in front of her with a sneer.
The old lady had a stroke, and she had to eat light food and other things, and she couldn't be angry, but the old lady herself didn't think so, she was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas on weekdays, and she thought that as long as the amount of ginseng was not large, eating a little bit every day would be very good for her physical weakness, and Sun also wished that the old lady wanted to eat and drink well, so that she could get some benefits from the kitchen.
Gu Xinyue asked Wenzhu not to stop it, it was nothing more than a little food money, which could make the old lady move forward on the road of stroke paralysis, and it was also worth it.
It's just that I heard that when the second room moved out some time ago, the Xue family rushed into the house and made a big fuss, and wanted to take away the old lady's private room at that time.
The old lady was so angry that she fainted directly.
Unfortunately, she wasn't there.
Well, tomorrow is Xiao Nian, and if they want to come to the Xue family, they will definitely take the opportunity to come in, so just let them come in and grab it.
Left and right, looking at the old lady like this, he won't hang up right away.
"Woooooo Staring at Gu Xinyue, the old lady's eyes were full of hatred, and her mouth let out a hateful whimper.
Gu Xinyue laughed unconsciously, leaned forward, moved closer to her, and said, "Dead old woman, do you hate me?" You want to eat my flesh and drink my blood, don't you? Ah, it's a pity, but you can't do it, not to mention eating my meat, it's your life now, it's all in my hands, you want to stare at me again? ”
Her tone was frivolous, and the last sentence was upturned, sounding very happy, but she showed a cold murderous intent for no reason.
The old lady's pupils shrank suddenly, and then closed tightly.
Gu Xinyue sighed, touched her bedside with her hand, opened the cassette, and took out a box from inside.
She had already taken the identity deed in the box, and everyone had already asked Ji Jing to dispose of it, and the rest of the deed was also stored in the space.
However, there was also a stack of silver tickets in the box.
Gu Xinyue took out all the silver tickets, counted them one by one to the old lady, and after counting, she patted the stack of silver tickets on her hand, and said to the old lady who opened her eyes and looked shocked when she heard the voice: "Five thousand two hundred taels, old lady, there is a lot of money." ”
"Woooooo The old lady's eyes were about to pop out, and her eyes were blood-red.
"Hehe, what's the hurry? I'm not going to take you with this money. Gu Xinyue stuffed the silver ticket into her sleeve and said leisurely: "Your share of the pension money is managed by the fourth room, but the people you eat, drink and use are all paid by our big house, I am a junior, I can't go to the fourth aunt to settle accounts, I can only take a little subsidy from you to make up for it, so as to ensure that your old man eats bird's nest, shark fin and abalone every day." ”
The old lady's lips trembled, if his eyes could kill, he was afraid that now Gu Xinyue would not even have any bones left.
Gu Xinyue looked at her with interest and said, "I really don't understand, my father is your eldest son, and he is also your most capable son who can help you earn glory, how can you be biased like this?" You use my father's money to support all your sons and the whole family, how can you ......"
Seeing that the old lady had no remorse or apology at all, Gu Xinyue said happily: "Forget it, what's the use of telling you this." ”
As long as this dead old woman has a little heart to care for the big house, Gu Fu will not end up like this.
Touching the silver ticket in his sleeve, Gu Xinyue said again: "It's also strange, you said, you have so much money for the silver ticket here, and the things in the small treasury are worth tens of thousands of taels, and the second room is also the same, and the things in the private treasury add up to tens of thousands of taels, and the second uncle and second aunt still have more than 20,000 taels of cash in their hands, but you can owe the people in the house the monthly money and not send it, just waiting for the official village money to arrive at the end of the year." Why? ”
Without waiting for the old lady to react, Gu Xinyue sneered: "I know, because, what is in your hands is naturally your own, and the money in the public account is my father and the grandfather of the country behind." You really know it, but it's a pity, old lady, the bamboo basket is empty, I think you should have a deep understanding now, right? ”
Pointing his finger at the small warehouse, Gu Xinyue said, "You say, how long can you keep those private rooms?" If I don't want anyone to stand in my way, how long can you keep it? ”
The old lady whimpered and wanted to shake his head, but he couldn't move at all, so he could only stare at Gu Xinyue with a pair of eyes.
"Girl, second wife, and Mrs. Hetang Jiu are here."
Cai Wei's voice sounded at the door, and seeing that the old lady's eyes lit up, Gu Xinyue got up and said, "The old lady can't be disturbed, welcome to the Lingtai Courtyard." ”
