An hour ago, Gu Chongyang had a big quarrel with the fourth master Gu Zhanming, the two broke up unhappily, and Gu Chongyang threw up his sleeves and left.

The fourth master, Gu Zhanming, was angry because Gu Chongyang already knew the truth of the matter, but after the anger, a wave of fear surged in his heart.

Once Gu Chongyang shouted out the matter in a negative mood, how could the Gu family have face, and how could he continue to gain a foothold in the court?

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he was at a loss to circle under the porch.

Mama Qiu, who was hiding on the side, felt that her opportunity had come, so she stepped forward and asked, "Fourth master, what's wrong with you?" ”

The fourth master was immersed in his own thoughts, and was startled when he heard this sentence. When he saw that the person in front of him was Mama Qiu, he couldn't help but be happy again.

How did he forget Mama Qiu!

When Shen died, she tricked Wu Dacheng into coming in and helped him hide from the world; When the uncle of the Shen family in Nanjing came, it was also Mama Qiu who testified and strongly proved the fact that Shen and Wu Dacheng were having an affair. I was able to marry Miss Ge, and Mama Qiu also made a lot of efforts, and Mama Qiu has been single-handedly handling the affairs of the four-room house these days.

No one is more honest and reliable than Mama Qiu.

"You're just in time!" The fourth old man hurriedly told Mama Qiu the ins and outs of the matter: "...... I think she is determined to go against me, I said that I want to send her to the nunnery, she is not afraid, what do you think this should be? ”

Mama Qiu was also taken aback, she didn't expect Gu Chongyang to know the truth of the matter.

She couldn't help but pat her leg in a hurry: "Fourth Master, things have come to this point, how can Fourth Miss still listen to you." She is so disobedient and unfilial, you must take care of Miss Fourth immediately. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The fourth old man hurriedly said: "I should take care of her, and she will spoil my reputation by talking nonsense everywhere." ”

Mama Qiu exaggerated: "Also, you have to hurry up and discuss countermeasures with the old lady, in case the Nanjing Shen family knows, it will be a big deal." ”

"You're right, I'm going to explain it to the old lady right away." The fourth master was not in a hurry: "Although the Shen family wants to take precautions, there is no need to be too afraid, the Shen family* is in front, and it is also their Shen family's fault to say that the sky is broken." ”

"Oh, my fourth master, why are you so confused? If something like this happens, do you think the Shen family will still listen to you? They will naturally listen to Miss Four, and when the time comes, won't Miss Four slander you? Our family is a hairpin family, with a great reputation, and the Shen family is a lowly merchant, as the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, who knows that they will not tear their faces and do lawless things? ”

Seeing that the fourth old man frowned, obviously listening to her words, Mama Qiu said again: "Seeing that the new lady is about to enter the door at the end of the month, can't something go wrong at this time." ”

After marrying Miss Ge and entering the door, he will be the old lady's descendant, and when the time comes, the Gu family's network resources will be tilted towards him, and his career will definitely go to the next level. Mama Qiu is right, you must not go on any business trip at this time.

Fortunately, I called Mama Qiu to come, otherwise things might be unimaginable.

The fourth master was so shocked that he was drenched in a cold sweat, and hurriedly boasted: "Thanks to you for helping me come up with ideas, when this matter is over, I will immediately promote you to be a steward and give you a monthly increase in money." I'll go to the old lady's courtyard and explain the matter to her in person, you go to the Begonia Courtyard to see the fourth lady, don't let her make any trouble. ”

"That's what the lord said." Mama Qiu's eyes rolled: "It's just that the fourth lady has a bad temperament, this person who is not right, I'm afraid I can't suppress her!" ”

"What kind of bad temperament, she is born with no rules, no respect for her elders, disobedience and unfilial piety!" The fourth old man snorted coldly and said: "From now on, you are the housekeeper of the Begonia Courtyard, and the affairs in the fourth lady's courtyard are fully responsible for you." If those maids are disobedient, you just have to beat them up and sell them, even if the fourth lady doesn't listen to discipline, you don't have to be polite! Once upon a time, I was too used to her. ”

Mama Qiu hated Gu Chongyang in her heart for giving her no face in front of the Ge family before, and after listening to the words of the fourth master, she hurriedly responded, and then said: "Fourth master, you can rest assured to go to Anrong Courtyard, the fourth lady will be handed over to me, I promise to take strict care of the Begonia Courtyard, and will never let the fourth lady contact with people outside at will." ”

The fourth master didn't say a word, and hurried towards An Rongyuan.

When he arrived at the gate of Anrong Courtyard, looking at the black inner house and the two big lanterns hanging at the gate of the courtyard like monster eyes, the steps of the fourth master couldn't help but hesitate a little.

It's getting late, it's time for the old lady to rest, will she be disliked if she breaks in so boldly?

Although he reached an agreement with Mrs. Ge, he was still very repulsed by this stepmother, his childhood left him too many shadows, and he was actually a little afraid of Mrs. Ge in his bones.

His heart couldn't help but beat a little drum.

Chongyang is his daughter, and for more than ten years, he held it in the palm of his hand like a jewel. He loves her, and naturally he can teach her a lesson. Although the father and daughter have gone farther and farther away in the past few days, and even intolerable, Gu Chongyang's body has his blood flowing after all.

If he went in so rashly, the old lady would know what happened today, and I am afraid that she would be even more disgusted with Chongyang because of this, and would blame her, and even deal with her with family law. The old lady is not her own grandmother, so she won't feel distressed, but he is Chongyang's biological father, how can she not feel distressed?

This is still secondary, and the most important thing is that the old lady will feel that he is incompetent and incompetent, so she is unwilling to use the resources of the Gu family for him?

In that case, it would be bad. In the months after returning from Guichi County, he had experienced the indifference and ruthlessness of officialdom, and if he lost the help of the Gu family, he would definitely fall into that kind of predicament again. No, absolutely not, he must not lose the support of the Gu family.

But if he doesn't go, he won't be able to suppress Chongyang.

Gu Chongyang's words were as sharp as knives, fierce and spicy, and the fourth master was embarrassed again.

In case it is really as Mama Qiu said, Chongyang makes a big deal and stabs it out, not only will the Shen family's uncle not support him, but he will even fall out with himself, not to mention the damage to his reputation in his life, and the Shen family will no longer support him with silver, then the gains outweigh the losses.

When things get to that point, they still can't hide it from the old lady. The old lady was furious, and no one could predict what she would do.

Rather than not being able to end at that time, it is better to go and make it clear to the old lady now. She is well versed in the way of the inner house, the second sister-in-law and the second girl were so arrogant before, and they were not obedient and obedient in front of the old lady. If you want to govern a Chongyang, it is not a problem for the old lady.

It's not that he doesn't love Chongyang's daughter, it's that Chongyang is disobedient first, and he can't help but teach him a lesson.

Thinking about it like this, the fourth master was at ease, he no longer hesitated, but couldn't wait to knock on the door of An Rong Temple.

After listening to the fourth master's words, Old Madam Ge was really angry, but there was only a cold light in her eyes, and she regained her calm in a moment.

There is no one in the Gu family, and this concubine is the only person in the Gu family who has an official status. The situation was like this, and she couldn't scold him like she used to.

She let go of her tightly clenched hand, and said lightly: "It's not a big deal, and it's worth your urgency." ”

"The fourth girl, this child, I have always liked her very much, but she was raised by the Shen family in the past, and I can't interfere too much. Now that her mother is gone, I, as a grandmother, have to spend more time disciplining her for her mother for a few years! ”

When Mrs. Ge spoke, her face was very kind, and her tone was very ordinary, but the word discipline was very heavy.

How could the fourth master not hear it?

A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he stopped talking.

Old Madam Ge raised her eyebrows: "What, this is distressing?" ”

"What does the old lady say?" The fourth old man hurriedly said: "The old lady is willing to discipline Chongyang, which is her blessing." But after all, this kid is used to being wild, and I'm afraid I'll tire you. ”

Hum! A trace of ridicule flashed in Mrs. Ge's heart, but her face became more and more kind, and she said seriously: "It's because she's used to being wild, so I have to discipline her well." First, the Shen family is from a merchant, and the four girls have such a mother, who is a dwarf herself; Second, she is the eldest daughter of a widow, and it will be difficult to say goodbye in the future. I know that you only have this one daughter, and it is inevitable to spoil her, but you must know that you are spoiling her like this. ”

The fourth master bowed his head and lowered his hands.

Mrs. Ge said again: "Take her with me, raise her well for a few years, and if you have rules, it will be easy to say goodbye in the future." The four girls look so good, wouldn't it be a pity if they were buried? Don't you, a father, want her to marry into a good family? Don't you want to have a son-in-law from a wealthy family? The four girls marry into a high family, which is beneficial to your career and beneficial to our Gu family. ”

This sentence hit the heart of the fourth master at once, Chongyang is indeed beautiful, if this can marry into the high gate, it will indeed be a great help to him. If he has the son-in-law of the Hou Ye, he will really be able to stand up in the Gu family.

Thinking like this, her tone softened by three points: "The old lady is really well-intentioned to think about her son and Chongyang like this." ”

"You don't have to compliment me." Old Madam Ge said: "I know that you only have this one daughter, so you are reluctant, but in fact, you don't have to." When Bilian enters the door, she will hug you twice in three years, and give birth to a few sisters-in-law, why should you worry about the child. When the time comes, you have a wife and son-in-law, and a son-in-law from a high family, not only do you not have to worry about your career, but even your sister-in-law's future does not have to worry. ”
