Chapter 393: The Second Lady Is Really in Trouble
The onlookers heard the voices coming from the courtyard of the eldest young master getting quieter and quieter, and became more and more worried that those girls might have been beaten to death, and just when they were very anxious, the female nurses arrived with sticks and ropes.
The sturdy female nurses pushed through the crowd, kicked over the servants guarding the courtyard gate directly, and rushed into the inner courtyard.
At this time, the male guards also came to the gate of the courtyard to support, and took away a group of servants who were put forward by the female nurses, and sold them in the afternoon.
The servants are still clamoring that they are the old servants of the second lady's marriage, and ask the guards to let them go, but who cares about them, the house has its own rules in the house, and it is strictly forbidden to commit murders. Isn't that discrediting the mansion, Gan Yuwen, the future uncle, is staying in the capital.
The onlookers were also mobilized at this time to prepare a stretcher and ask the doctor to see the injury, those teenage girls have been beaten half to death, I don't know if they can all survive tonight, if someone dies, the whole house will hate the second lady to death, and make this kind of bad luck on the side of the New Year.
The old lady and the eldest lady had to report that Gu Xu's situation was stable one after another, and the old man picked two people from his eldest girl to wait for Gu Xu for a few days, this poor grandson, the two pregnant women temporarily resigned, and the newly bought girls were all injured, and at this time, only her, the grandmother, was the most suitable to come forward.
The girls in the courtyard were all carried to a quiet idle courtyard one after another to recuperate, they were all newly bought, and there were no family members, so they could only be taken care of by the government.
The old lady's maid rushed to Gu Xu's courtyard, saw the second lady and the eldest young master in order, put down the luggage and began to work, and the female nurses who guarded the second lady waited until the inside and outside of the courtyard were empty, especially when no one outside watched the excitement, so they forcibly took the second lady back to her main room, and put her under house arrest before the second master arrived home.
The second lady was so angry that she trembled and cried in the room, and the reputation of being virtuous and dignified for more than 20 years was broken by her own hands just now, and the two daughters sat on the side and wept with their mother, persuading her to look away and not to make her grandmother angry again before her father came home from vacation.
The two concubines in the second room live in a courtyard, just behind the main room of the second room, they live in the main room, the son and the girls live in the east and west compartments respectively, at this time the courtyard door is closed, and the class of clan studies will not be on annual leave until the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, so the two concubines are not at home, and the two concubines sit in the main room hall and gossip, although they guard against each other and do not talk about the second lady, but they laugh enough in their hearts.
The third lady also laughed in her bedroom, in the past, when the third room made people laugh, her two concubines did not use a persuasive tone to say some ugly cool words, feng shui turns, today should be asked to let her taste this taste, and it was caused by her own hands, and she can't blame anyone.
The eldest lady did not say a word and completely pretended to be dumb, leaving this matter to her mother-in-law, so she was bent on preparing for the New Year, and specially called Bai Ko to her ear room to discuss the Chinese New Year's Eve menu and the menu of the New Year's banquet.
The girls came over to report on the development process of the second room in a while, and Bai Ko sat still and understood the whole story, she pretended to be deaf even more, and only said in her heart that the second lady's temper was big enough.
It was indeed unexpected that Gu Xu was drunk with saber wine, but it made Bai Ko's heart feel happy, and of course he still maintained a calm white paper face on his face, looking like he didn't care about gossip.
The eldest lady was the same, after listening to the latest progress of the girl's report, she sent people down, and continued to talk with Bai Ko, especially mentioning that the orange juice soda made for Gu Chen on the day of the last roast whole sheep should be prepared more, and there are many children in the relatives' family, and they came to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year to entertain them.
It's easy to make soda, but there is a shortage of bottles, so the eldest lady asked Pang's mother to find out all the crystal bottles for backup.
Bai Ko also proposed to make a seafood banquet before the year to see if anyone was uncomfortable with any seafood, otherwise it would not look good to make a seafood soup and ask the masters to eat overnight.
The eldest lady agreed without thinking about it, and let Bai Ko arrange it herself.
After the master and servant continued to discuss the details, it was finally put to an end for the time being, and Bai Ko packed up his notes and took his leave.
Gu Yun was waiting in the study, and when Qinglan saw Bai Ko coming back, she immediately invited her to the study to talk.
The second lady made such a big fuss, and Gu Yun naturally got a report from the next person, but the girls couldn't explain it clearly, knowing that Bai Ko was talking about things on the eldest lady's side, she would hear more details, and she would wait for her to come back and repeat it again.
Bai Ko finished explaining this farce in a few words.
"My second aunt dares to use Gu Xu's girl as a punching bag." Gu Yun knew that those girls were beaten, and only after listening to Bai Ko's story did he know what it was like to be beaten, "Those old servants don't need to sympathize with them, the evil things they have done in the past have been saved up to now, and it is already merciful to sell them to the mine, not to mention the grievances of the master." ”
"But after all, it is the second lady's old servant, and their grandchildren have been born in the mansion for so many years, and they have sold these grandmother-level old people all at once, won't the people have any complaints in their hearts? Can the old lady directly dispose of her daughter-in-law's private property? ”
"There are rules in the house, the master has to have compassion when beating people with a cane, and it is strictly forbidden to make a human life, not to mention whether outsiders will take the opportunity to sue for a complaint, just say that the master's wife beat her son's newly bought girl with a cane for no reason, once this spreads outside, my long room has to carry the black pot for their second room, and the world is talking about how the Yeguo Mansion is. Since the second lady doesn't take the face of my Yeguo Mansion seriously, why should we care about her face? What's more, Gan Yuwen walked on the front foot and the back foot had this incident, it seems that I still have to mention to my grandmother whether my second aunt is not happy to marry the Pingzhou Gan family. ”
"The matter of the second room has developed so far that it is not the turn of the maid to talk too much, you can just watch it, anyway, no old servant here in the long room dares to put a face in front of you."
Gu Yun immediately looked proud, "It's not that Young Master Ben has known how to take precautions since he was a child, and he doesn't give those tricky old servants any chances." ”
"Yes, you are the wisest." Bai Ko patted her skirt and saluted, "In the past few days, I have to pick a night to make a seafood banquet to see if the masters in the house are uncomfortable with any seafood, if you want to go out to play, remember to come back early, otherwise there will be no leftovers for you to eat." ”
"I don't think I've heard of anyone who is uncomfortable with seafood."
"It is necessary to be cautious, there are too many types of seafood sent by the third lady, and the masters in the mansion may not have eaten it in the past, otherwise it will be difficult to ask the doctor on Chinese New Year's Eve."
Gu Yun scratched the back of his head, "Okay, let's say it early when you decide on a certain day." ”
Bai Ko immediately bowed and withdrew.
