Chapter 939 Motherhood is Strong
When Gu Yun got home, he heard the housekeeper say that Bai Ko had paid for the medical expenses, and the government had already sent it to his home, so he went back to the house to change his clothes and went to the palace chief's house, and the palace chief brought him a letter when he came out to see him.
"Your sister-in-law wrote to Bai Ko, and she and the princess are talking about it in the house."
"What can my sister-in-law do when she looks for Bai Ko?" Gu Yun felt strange while taking the letter and reading it.
"Gu Xu has been suspended, there is no income in the family, and your sister-in-law is not allowed to make money to support the family and children? The Gan clan in Pingzhou is willing to exchange their political resources with Bai Ko, your sister-in-law is the daughter of the Changfang, your second aunt and Gu Xu are really generous enough, they bullied other people's daughters at the beginning, and now that something has happened, the Gan clan is not willing to lend a hand, but let your sister-in-law have a relationship with Bai Ko. ”
"Bai Ko is a complete businessman in the eyes of the public, a female shopkeeper, and the Gan family does political transactions with Bai Ko?"
"You know, it's not just the two of us who can see clearly, you are not blind, otherwise so many rich and noble families want to marry Bai Ko as a daughter-in-law? That Gan Yuwen has already determined that he can stay in Hanlin Academy, if you don't make trouble in the second room of your house, Gu Xu will definitely stay ten out of ten, now, do you think Gu Xu is willing to suspend his job and wait for a vain re-emergence? Or would you rather send him to a poor and remote place now to be a county magistrate, and slowly climb to the capital? ”
"I think with Gu Xu's temperament, he doesn't want to choose either."
"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter, anyway, next year will be the Spring Festival, there are new jinshi, and there are so many old officials queuing up to fill the vacancy, and the court doesn't have to be Gu Xu."
"That's right, let Bai Ko think about it for herself." Gu Yun put down the letter, and talked to the palace chief about the government sending Bai Ko's compensation to the second room to the house, the two of them laughed for a while, Bai Ko would be lightly haired This is a long time expected, and the fine is really not a matter for her.
In the inner house, Bai Ko and Ning Peilan also discussed properly, the political resources of the Gan clan in Pingzhou are too tempting, and it is not difficult to help the Gu Gan clan make money to support the family, but the problem now is that since this grandmother Xu withdrew the shares of the farm, she has not gone out much, and there is already a danger of being squeezed to the periphery in the social circle, she has to re-enter the core position of the circle, and prove to Bai Ko that she, the young lady from the Gan family's long house, has the value of being a middleman.
If Gu Ganshi doesn't re-establish her connections, no matter how good the business opportunity is, she won't be able to do it.
Bai Ko has to be busy with business, not to mention that taking care of the social circle of her dependents is not her forte, but this is Ning Peilan's strength, her social circle covers all walks of life, as long as she invites Gu Gan to participate in her social activities a few times, the rest is up to her.
The next morning, Gan received a letter from Princess Cheng, asking if she would have time to attend a tea party in the women's tearoom the day after tomorrow.
Gan was naturally happy at such an invitation, and after replying to the letter to say that he was participating, he instructed the girls to prepare clothes and jewelry for her.
Gu Xu didn't know where to come back, he was full of alcohol, and when he entered the house, he heard laughter and laughter in the house, a group of maids and servants surrounded the eldest grandmother, there were several beautiful clothes with bright colors on the bed table, and Gan's hands also had one on each hand, standing in front of the large mirror and comparing back and forth, discussing with everyone what kind of hairstyle to comb.
"What are you doing here? It's like this at home, and you're still in the mood to dress up?! ”
Gu Xu was indiscriminate, stepped forward to accuse loudly, the smell of alcohol on his body made everyone take a step back, and the nurse left quickly with her little girl in her arms.
"That's right, the family is out of cooking, I don't want to go out to make money, but I am in the mood to drink, I really deserve to be a man raised by the Yeguo Mansion." Gan retorted, "Incompetent, shameless, and immoral." ”
"Presumptuous!" Hearing only a clang, Gu Xu snorted with wine, smashed the big mirror with his bare hands, and the lens shattered to the ground, "You say it again?!" ”
The subordinates around him were caught off guard and screamed, Gan was also stunned by Gu Xu's irritability, and then was awakened by his roar, threw the clothes in his hand on Gu Xu's face, pounced on his head and began to scratch his face with his nails.
"Smash my mirror! How dare you smash my mirror! An incompetent, shameless and immoral bastard still dares to be an uncle at home! What kind of thing are you? Wasting my Pingzhou Gan's resources, just to coax you into this kind of waste? What's so great about a jinshi in his twenties? My Gan clan has produced more than a dozen young lifters and jinshi in the past few decades! What do you have to be proud of?! If you don't get out and make money, you will know that you will be angry with your wife and daughter at home! I don't dare to put a fart on my wife and sister! I can't bear to be wronged by your mother and sister, you live with them, how good it is for you to marry your sister, the family is happy, and there is less harm to others! You beast is inferior to something! ”
Gan scolded while scratching hard with both hands, Gu Xu only felt a hot pain everywhere on his face, he was a man in the end, although he was attacked by his wife, he still quickly pushed the person away, and then ran to the dresser to look in the mirror, only to see that there were scratches on his face, from the forehead to the chin, and on the top of the eyelids, the scratches could be connected when he closed his eyes, and the whole face looked like countless cats with their claws stretched out and stepped on their faces.
"My face!" Gu Xu held his face and wailed, and yelled at his wife angrily, "How can I go out now?!" ”
"You only deserve to go out like this now! Get out of here, and don't get in the way of my eyes! ”
"Crazy! Shrew! Gu Xu angrily snatched the door and left.
Gan shook her hand and ordered her subordinates to clean up the house, she washed her hands and continued to concentrate on choosing clothes for the tea party the day after tomorrow.
The people in the second room saw Uncle Xu running out with a cat-scratched face, and they were also frightened, and pulled him to his wife to complain, and made the second lady Gu feel distressed, but she was a little afraid of seeing her daughter-in-law now, so she had to comfort her son to endure this breath, after all, the most important thing at the moment is to make money quickly, and with money, it is good to go around to dredge up and return to the official career, and the best resource that they can use in the second room is the network of Pingzhou Gan's in the capital.
Gu Xu listened to his mother's persuasion, endured this breath, and because he drank all night, he was really sleepy now, and the second lady Gu felt sorry for her son, so she let him sleep in her bed, and the second lady's subordinates didn't dare to go to the eldest grandmother all day long.
Gu Chan still lives in her mother's house, the Yang family didn't come to pick her up, and she didn't take the initiative to say that she wanted to go back, she lived like this day by day, and she saw her sister-in-law dressed up beautifully and sat in a sedan chair to go to the women's tea room to participate in the tea party of the nobles.
Gu Gan's participation in this tea party was actually quite offended, after all, her husband's family made such a big trouble, it was a hot topic for everyone at the tea party, she was sitting there like a pins and needles, but she also knew that this was her first step back to the circle, even if the pain in her heart was like a knife, she still endured it until the end, but as soon as she returned home, she threw herself on the pillow and cried, and then wiped her tears and washed her face, thinking about the time and theme of the next new tea party, and planning what preparations she was going to make.
She still has a daughter to raise, and she has to be strong.
While writing down the next new plan on a piece of paper, Gan kept cheering himself on in his heart, reassuring himself that bad things would eventually end and good luck would come.
