Chapter 146: The Ward Clan, who ran away
When I returned to Wenling Courtyard, the small kitchen was also cooking lunch, Bai Ko ate a ready-made one, and then I was busy moving back to Zhongming Courtyard, counting all kinds of things and packing them, and those that were useful were waiting to be moved to Zhongming Courtyard, and those that were no longer used were sent to the warehouse.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the last few days of June have passed, and in the blink of an eye, it is July.
The most important thing for the family in July is to sign up for the autumn season, but this matter does not need to be handled by the two young masters in person, and even the family does not have to go out to do it for him.
The small kitchen in the second young master Gu Jingyuan in the third room has been prepared, and the appointment order has been officially issued, and Mengmei has been transferred to the third room as a special chef, and the monthly routine is consistent.
The cooks and the ladies couldn't help but laugh at Mengmei's monthly example of not earning one or two silver as a chef, and she lost a lot of money.
With the support of the new master, Mengmei straightened her waist again, took Bai Ko out and ridiculed her for being a third-class kitchen with 500 yuan, which amused many people and reminded Meng Mei not to forget that Bai Ko also has a monthly example of a deacon in the ice cellar.
Some old cooks couldn't help but sneer when they thought of the shining silver cloves on Bai Ko's ears, and didn't refute Mengmei's words, letting her enjoy herself.
Of course, Lu Doudou would not even say that Bai Ko took two taels a month from the third young master, which saved people from talking about the third lady being too stingy.
Bai Ko has also passed the novice period of riding a horse, and there is no problem in riding a horse to walk in circles in the field, and the little mare is very cooperative with her control, and the man and horse are one.
To be able to follow the young master out, you must practice the ability to ride a horse and trot on the city streets, and you must also have the ability to respond in case of emergency.
Gu Yun has received more and more entertainment invitations these days, except for the fixed activities in Bajingfang, other invitation arrangements are after the autumn season, and there are also a few people in his circle of friends who are going to compete this year, so no one wants to be distracted in the last bit of time before the exam.
It became Bai Ko's business to put these invitations in chronological order, so that the things she needed most urgently now became a calendar notepad instead of a shelf, because to move the yard, the cage was given as much as she wanted, and the shelf she wanted was temporarily shelved, and she could only wait until she was done to add it.
But this calendar notebook Bai Ko felt that she couldn't wait, and when she could go out, she had to customize a few copies by herself, and the invitations received by the third young master were all scheduled until the end of the year, and it was estimated that the invitation date for the invitation sent next month would be next year.
There are a lot of people who want to invite the fresh ** little prince of the Guogong Mansion, which gives the brothers who live in the clan study a lot of opportunities to make extra money.
That afternoon, Gu Yun walked home from the patriarchal study, and when he walked along the west wall outside the Guogong Mansion to the west gate, a female beggar who was described as dirty and carrying a burden suddenly pounced on him by the wall.
Gu Yun quickly dodged, and when he was about to scold, the female beggar raised her head, brushed away the long hair that covered her face, and wiped off the bottom of the pot that was deliberately blackened on her face, revealing her somewhat dirty original appearance.
"Auntie?!"
Gu Yun was shocked, he didn't understand how the eldest daughter-in-law of the third master's family had become like this, but he couldn't help but ask him at this moment, so he hurriedly motioned for Ou to get up and follow him into the door.
The housekeeper guarding the door looked strange, and didn't understand what the young master was doing when he brought a female beggar back, Gu Yun vaguely said that it was the servant woman who had just bought it and fooled the family.
Gu Yun led the people straight to Jicheng Hall, and shouted excitedly when he entered the door: "Mother! I bought a servant woman, you can see if it works. ”
In this way, Gu Yun easily led the Ou family into the ear room of the eldest lady's daily living and office.
Bai Ko was also in the ear room, and she took the booklet of Wenling Courtyard to the eldest lady to see, and she wrote down everything she moved or not.
The two of them were discussing this matter, so they heard Gu Yun chattering outside the door, and then the curtain was lifted and a woman was brought in.
"There is no shortage of people at home, what do you do to buy people?" The eldest lady looked at the dirty woman and frowned slightly.
Ou took two steps forward and knelt down, lifting the hair from his face.
"Huh?!" The eldest lady in the house, Mama Pang and Bai Ko were all shocked, but fortunately they had been discussing and did not call other girls inside.
"What's going on?! These **** have sent letters to your home again and again, and they have sent people to ask for a meeting, but there has never been any news from you, why did you become like this today? ! ”
"Big lady, they want to use my dowry to open up joints for my father-in-law to keep his official position, I would rather die than give them a son!" Au rolled up her sleeves and showed everyone the bruises on her upper arm, which they knew were beaten with sticks.
"How dare they ......!?" The eldest lady had an angry look on her face.
Ou picked up her baggage, Bai Ko hurriedly handed it to Pang's mother, who opened it on the table, and inside was a box, which was full of specially patterned paper and account books.
"This is my token certificate in the money village and the title deeds of all the shops and fields, and my daughter Hui'er will entrust it to the eldest lady!"
Ou Shi kowtowed heavily as he spoke, but he was forcibly straightened by Bai Ko after only one knock, but a big bag had already bulged on his forehead, and he resolutely refused to help her up again, so she had to kneel.
"Isn't your husband on your side?"
Ou Shi smiled sadly, "As we all know, his existing qiē is all dependent on his father, if his father-in-law really does not keep his official position, he will not be able to keep his current errand, he has complained every day that I can't give birth to a son and cause him to have empty knees, and he doesn't look at how many maids he has slept with in the house, but someone gave birth to a son and a half daughter for him?!" His body is long gone. ”
"And what's going on with you?"
"My family is being retaliated against by my political enemies, and I know that they want to unblock my dowry and assets to save themselves, so I have already made preparations and hid all the documents, and when they saw that they were not convinced, I locked me up in the firewood room, and wanted to force me to agree to transfer the property. I was their daughter-in-law, and the servant didn't search me when she kept me, not knowing that I had a dagger hidden on my body, so I tricked the outside guard into stabbing her in the middle of the night, stripped her of her clothes and put them on, and climbed out of the dog hole. ”
"When did it happen? I've been writing to you since July, and I haven't heard back. ”
"It started at the end of the month, and they knew that the eldest lady had hired a doctor for Hui'er, and they found out that they were not in good health, and they were afraid that I would give her all the private money for treatment, and I didn't know anything about your letter to me."
"The child's diagnosis has come out, and I want you to come to the house to discuss the future of the child under the pretext of inviting you to discuss the August Boxing Festival, but I didn't expect you to have an accident first."
"Big lady, I can't go back when I escape, my family will entrust it to you, I don't ask her to get married and have children, I just want her to be safe and sound in this life and grow up to be a normal girl."
Au repeatedly kowtowed.
