501 Gu Family
Putting aside Brother Xu's naughty mischief, Brother Xu is actually a happy baby. When I saw Mr. Yushan, I coaxed Mr. Yushan so much that he couldn't find the north.
Yue Yao sat on one side and watched Brother Xu play treasure there. However, Mr. Yushan has not seen Yueyao for a long time, and he has a lot to say, so he can bring several children down.
Mr. Yushan and the others left, and there were only two people left in the house, and Mr. Yushan said, "The child is well educated. Not only is it polite and measured, but it has not made the child lose his innocence, and he has three children who are like little tigers, which makes Mr. Yushan very pleased.
Yue Yao smiled: "The teacher has won the prize." This is the superficial kung fu, in fact, I can't wait to not give birth to them! ”
Mr. Yushan looked at the smile on his face and became brighter and brighter, and when he looked at Yueyao's appearance, he knew that life was very comfortable: "It's rare to come to Jiangnan, and this time I will stay longer." ”
Yue Yao nodded, paused for a moment and said, "Teacher, I think it's time for people to know that I am a mountain and wild monk." ”
When Mr. Yushan heard Yue Yao say this, he didn't know why, he sighed heavily, and when he saw Yue Yao's puzzled expression, he explained: "I have two grandsons, one is Gu Zhe, and the other is Gu Li, Gu Li has been smart since he was a child, but unfortunately the family not only did not suppress him, but instead held him to the sky, as a result, he failed to pass the Jinshi exam a few years ago, and since then he has been in a slump, if he can be like you, he knows since he was a child that he should not be exposed, and he will not fall into this field." "Mr. Yushan was because the child was young, and he thought that he would wait for the child to be older before he succeeded, but he didn't expect the people of the Gu family to see that Gu Li was smart and could study, and he regretted it, the Gu family was unwilling Mr. Yushan did not force it, even if the child was also his grandson, he still had his blood on his body, but these people in the Gu family really didn't know what to do, and they actually hyped Gu Li as a genius outside, and said that Gu Li was like a star in the sky.
When Mr. Yushan returned to Jiangnan and saw Gu Li, he felt that Gu Li's heart was impetuous, and his eyes were higher than the sky, so he was bound to lose if he had such a heart, so he was not allowed to let Gu Li go down, in order to sharpen Gu Li's character, but the people of the Gu family thought that he was deliberately delaying Gu Li because he failed to succeed Gu Li, and Gu Li was also thinking about the end, Mr. Yushan couldn't resist it at the time, thinking that it would be good for Gu Li to suffer setbacks, but Mr. Yushan didn't expect that Gu Li lost confidence because he didn't pass the exam onceIf a person loses faith, no matter how talented he is, it is in vain.
Yue Yao didn't expect the teacher to talk to her about family affairs as soon as she opened her mouth, and she was really hard to respond to this matter!
Mr. Yushan deliberately talked to Yue Yao about Gu Li, also to give Yue Yao a reminder: "I think those three children are all good seedlings, especially Fei Ge'er and Brother Xu, if these two children are taught well, they will definitely become pillars of talent in the future." ”
Yue Yao knew the meaning of Mr. Yushan's words: "Teacher, don't worry, I will be strict." In fact, she is very strict with several children.
Mr. Yushan only reminded Yueyao that this grandson was his only regret: "There is no urgency about this, anyway, you have to stay in Jiangnan for a while, these days you will walk around, draw some good paintings, and when the time comes, the paintings will be exhibited, and everyone will know your identity." "You can't do things like this too deliberately, and it's best to spread the word out naturally.
Yue Yao talked to Mr. Yushan for a long time, and looked at Mr. Yushan's face a little tired, so she retreated.
Yue Yao returned to the room arranged for her, saw Xiang Wei walk in, and asked, "The Gu family was not bad a few years ago, did something happen?" "I remember that when I was in the capital at that time, Gu Jianzhang and Gu Zhe's clothes were the best, but this time I saw the clothes Gu Zhe was wearing, and the fabric was average.
Xiang Wei shook his head and said: "In the year of Haikou rectification, I don't know who lobbied the people of the Gu family, and the people of the Gu family thought that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and many people invested money in it. ”
Yue Yao knew that something was wrong as soon as she heard it: "Even if the money sent is gone, it won't shake the foundation!" As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and if a business fails, it won't fail! Moreover, a family like the Gu family should also rely on land property.
Xiang Wei laughed: "The problem is that they did the shipping business, and they made money in the first year, and the eldest man of the Gu family became more bold when he saw that he made money, not only invested the capital and income of the pioneer, but also mortgaged several shops in the family to the money bank and loaned a large amount of money." As a result, all the money was wasted, and the vitality of the Gu family's seven rooms was greatly damaged.
Yue Yao frowned, she was not greedy enough, but dragged everyone in the family into the quagmire.
Xiang Wei just went out to find out the news she heard just now: "The seventh old lady has always been in good health, but because of this incident, he fell ill and went after three years of illness, and now there are dozens of people in the seven rooms of the Gu family, and they live on that little bit of land, and they are living very poorly." "To put it simply, the seventh room of the Gu family has become poor now.
Yue Yao's eyebrows jumped: "Is it that the people in the seventh room are poor, but the senior sister and they are very loose in their hands, which provokes their eyes?"
Xiang Wei felt that Yueyao was getting smarter and smarter now: "Yes, Qifang is poor, but several daughters-in-law in Qifang still have some money in their hands, especially Dong Yu, she didn't follow the trend to invest money in, so she is now the richest in Qifang, Mr. Yushan's health has become worse and worse in recent years, and it is a lot of money to ask for a doctor to take medicine every year, and I don't know how the people of the Gu family know that Mr. Yushan has no savings, and all the expenses are dependent on Dong Yu." "The old lady of the Gu family changed from the days of fine clothes and jade food to three meals a day, and the daughter-in-law has a large amount of money to supplement her mother's family, why can't she subsidize her mother-in-law's family, based on this mentality, Mrs. Gu asked Dong Yu to serve her illness on the grounds that she was seriously ill, so she asked Dong Yu to move back to the Gu family.
After listening to Xiang Wei's words, Yue Yao really felt that this old lady of the Gu family was a god, and Dong Yu was willing to spend money on the teacher to see a doctor, that was because this was her own father, no matter how much money was spent, she would not blink, but let Chong Yu supplement the Gu family and use her dowry to support the Gu family, unless Dong Yu is the Holy Mother.
Xiang Wei smiled and said: "I heard that Dong Yu has a soft temperament before, I really thought that she was a person who let others knead and flatten her, but I didn't expect that Dong Yu has become very tough now, Mrs. Gu asked her to take care of the house, and the people of the Gu family tried every means to make her pay for the family Unfortunately, Dong Yu didn't eat their set at all." ”
Yue Yao was not surprised: "Being a mother is strong, the Gu family's seven rooms are already poor, and there will be no money in the future, and the family will have to rely on her dowry to support them in the future, and now they will have to use one more point for themselves." "Actually, if you want Yueyao to say, the Gu family is like this, it is better to split up early, split up early, everyone still has a little affection, now you calculate me, I calculate you, it's good not to make enemies, and I still want affection.
Xiang Wei said with a smile: "I just told you that Mr. Yushan doesn't have any savings, you don't seem surprised at all?"
Yue Yao was naturally not surprised, where would a person like a teacher look at money in his eyes: "The Dong family should have a share of his industry, right?" The eldest lady of the Dong family has always cared about this younger brother, so he shouldn't treat the teacher badly.
Xiang Wei nodded.
Yue Yao said a little sullenly: "In the future, I will send some good medicinal materials to the teacher." "Yueyao is not reluctant to pay, but Mr. Yushan will definitely not accept it.
Yueyao arrived in Hangzhou, Dong Yu was her senior sister, she naturally wanted to go to the Gu family to visit Dong Yu, and on the third day of Yueyao's arrival in Hangzhou, she took her four children to the Gu family.
The seven-room house of the Gu family is also five-in, but the population of the seven-room Gu family is quite large, Gu Jianzhang has four brothers, and Gu Zhe's cousins add up to twelve, so many people living together is actually a bit crowded.
When Yueyao arrived at the Gu family, she naturally went to see Mrs. Gu first, and walked all the way, even if Xiang Wei told her about the situation of the Gu family in advance, Yueyao was still startled, the place where Mr. Yushan lived was deserted, it was because he lived alone in the huge mansion, but the Gu family gave Yueyao a dilapidated feeling, and Yueyao muttered that it might be a psychological effect.
Led by the maid to the upper room.
Old Madam Gu wore a crow-blue Wufu longevity jacket, a Liufu skirt, a round bun, and a red and blonde hairpin, and sat upright on the chaise longue chair.
In the main hall, in addition to the old lady Gu sitting at the top, there were four daughters-in-law who were all dressed plainly, and there were six young women who were standing.
Yue Yao took the four children to give Mrs. Gu a junior salute, and then nodded to the other four people and sat down, Yue Yao is the lady of Zheng Sanpin, her identity is enough to suppress the people present, and she is also a relative of Yue Yao, she didn't use her identity to suppress people, and it is also a courtesy to give Mrs. Gu a salute, and others are not qualified.
The people in the room looked at Yueyao, and then at the four children.
Yueyao's dress is very ordinary, she only wears a fragrant long skirt, combs a flowing cloud bun, wears a set of pearl hair accessories, and the three brothers of Brother Sheng are not outstanding, they are dressed like ordinary children, but Kexin, although she is not deliberately dressed, she looks too good, and she likes it.
The fourth lady of the Gu family was reluctant to let go of Ke Xin: "This kid looks really good." The fourth lady wondered in her heart, whether she could tell this little girl to her youngest son, if this family business could be successful, then her own family could be regarded as a good in-law.
Dong Yu looked at Mrs. Gu's behavior and frowned.
Seeing that Yueyao's face was not very good-looking, Old Madam Gu glanced at Fourth Madam Gu, and then said kindly: "Mrs. An's children are really well raised. ”
Yue Yao smiled and said, "This is also the credit of Mr. ”
Old Madam Gu said a few words to Yue Yao, and said with a smile to the daughter-in-law in the second position on the left: "Third daughter-in-law, your sister is also rare to come here, you sisters have a good talk." "Old Madam Gu is not a fool, even Yueyao came to visit the third daughter-in-law, not to see her, even if she leaves people, she has nothing to say.
Dong Yu led Yueyao back to her yard, and said apologetically: "Yueyao, I made you laugh just now." "The calculation of the four brothers and sisters just now has simply lost all her face, fortunately, the mother-in-law is still sober, otherwise, this time it would be a shame and a big loss.
Yue Yao smiled and said, "It's nothing. ”
Dong Yu pointed to the two women around her who were about the same age as Yue Yao and said, "Yue Yao, these are my two daughters-in-law. ”
Yueyao sent the prepared meeting gift.
The age difference between Yue Yao and Dong Yu is too big, just like elders to juniors, there is no topic to talk about at all, Yue Yao came to visit Dong Yu this time, it is also full of courtesy, not that she wants to talk to Dong Yu about sisterhood.
After a long conversation, Yueyao took the child to leave.
Dong Yu didn't stop her, but said, "I'll go over to see you in two days." "Dong Yu is actually quite hard, she is a grandmother, but there is a mother-in-law on top of her, even filial piety to her own father has to be talked about, you have to report to Mrs. Gu when you go out, Mrs. Gu has to point to her for a long time if she is not happy, but there is no way, filial piety is greater than the sky, no matter how rude Mrs. Gu is, she can only endure it
As soon as Yueyao left, the fourth lady of the Gu family, Miao, came over, flattered Dong Yu with a smile on her face, and then said: "Third sister-in-law, I see that this Kexin is really cute and cute, and the third sister-in-law can help me ask if there is a match?"
Dong Yu's face turned as black as the bottom of the pot, and she endured it in the end, and said: "I am not close to her, so it's not good to ask this." ”
Miao thought about Kexin's family background, but he still didn't want to give up: "My brother Yang is already a talent and a fame today, and when he is admitted to the Jinshi in the future, he will not worry about his future in the future, and the third sister-in-law will help me ask, maybe it can be done?"
Dong Yu smiled angrily, didn't bother to beat around the bush anymore, and directly singled out: "I advise you not to be delusional." "Brother Yang is thirteen years old this year, six years older than Kexin, and it's really a shame that she can figure out that it is from a merchant family, and she doesn't know how thick the sky is.
Miao was also annoyed: "What is wishful thinking?"
Dong Yu snorted coldly: "Lord An was born in the Hou Mansion, and now he is a powerful general, Sister Xin is his eldest daughter, such a family background will definitely marry into a high-ranking family in the future, I advise you to quickly put away these unnecessary thoughts, don't lose the face of the Gu family." "Being a concubine with such a faceless and skinless person is really eight lifetimes of mold.
The fourth master of the Gu family is not a martial artist, and the old lady Gu married him a rich daughter-in-law that day, ensuring that the fourth master has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and the idea is very good, but the other three daughters-in-law are all from a scholar's family, and they insert such an outlier in the middle, which is very discordant.
Miao's face was so angry that his face was blue, but looking at Dong Yu's expression, he didn't dare to say anything, and left angrily at the moment.
Dong Yu's eldest daughter-in-law couldn't help but say, "Mother, this aunt can really think about it." "The most promising person in the Gu family is only a fourth-grade person, this aunt dares to think about the eldest daughter of the third-grade master, she is really ignorant and fearless.
Dong Yu rubbed her temples, she really wanted to split up early, with such a lot of calculations, in such a chaotic home, she was really worried that she would be bad for the next life.
