Chapter 944: Public Opinion
Gan is in the house instructing the girl to pack her luggage, first sort out the dowry clothes to be sent to her brother and sister-in-law's house, pack them up, Gu Xu didn't go out at home today, she has already told her husband about the house, borrowed the two houses that the third uncle used to be a glass workshop and are now idle, and asked the foreman to spend more than ten days to renovate and clean it to move over.
Gu Xu has no opinion on this, it is easy for him to find a temporary transitional house so quickly, and he doesn't have an idea where to settle in the future where his new home will be settled, and he also wants to go to the street from time to time to check and inquire.
Gan was talking to her husband about the two houses being adjacent to each other, and when she heard the noise outside, her mother-in-law shook off the people behind her who were blocking her and broke in violently.
"Gan, you are so bold!"
Gan quickly stood up and took a few steps back, distancing himself from his mother-in-law, watching her every move vigilantly.
"Why did my mother-in-law say this? The daughter-in-law didn't understand. ”
"Mother, what's wrong? If you have something to say, you can talk about it! Gu Xu stood in front of his mother, but he didn't deliberately protect his wife, but Gan Shi first widened the distance between the three of them, just to prevent his mother-in-law from going crazy.
"You ask your good daughter-in-law, is she looking for a good house?!"
"It's been found, and the idle house that Gu Yun borrowed used to be used as a workshop can be renovated, and it will be moved in about ten days. Mother, what's wrong with this? ”
"Yesterday, the old lady said that she wanted to split up, and she found a house today, and she moved so fast, my son, why are you so stupid?"
"What am I stupid about? Gu Yun has a ready-made idle house, isn't it great that he is willing to lend it to us? ”
"Son, your father is the biological son of Lao Taijun, if someone hadn't instigated her, how could she say that she would split up now?! Let me sue you, your daughter-in-law found a house so quickly because she knew that she was going to split up, and she instigated it! She stirred up discord in our house, son, do you know?! ”
"It's impossible, mother, you're thinking too much."
"How could it be?! How could it not be?! It's not that someone instigated it, how could the old lady say that the family was separated? You are her eldest grandson, she likes you the most, since she was born, she has to see you several times a day, she said that the deadline is one month, even if we don't move on the last day, can she really drive us out? The old man is just talking angry, coaxing her to change her mind, what to move in a hurry? Your daughter-in-law went out and said that she was optimistic about the house, so she couldn't wait?! Isn't she premeditated?! ”
"Mother-in-law, you swear that I instigated the old lady, and there must be evidence when I speak!"
"What evidence do you want? Do you dare to say no? ”
"Nope!"
"You dare to swear you didn't?"
"I swear not!"
"You dare to swear by poison?!"
"Okay, if I instigate the old lady, Gu Xu will be struck by lightning when he goes out! Five thunders in the sky! ”
"Huh?!"
Second Mrs. Gu and Gu Xu were suddenly stunned, and the people around them were also stunned one by one.
"What do you have to do with me?!"
"Poisonous woman! Poisonous woman! He swore a poisonous oath to my son!! Second Mrs. Gu jumped to her feet and scolded angrily.
"Gu Xu is my man, the pillar of this family, isn't swearing by the most important thing when he swears poisonously? Why can't I swear by Gu Xu? If he had been struck to death by lightning, I would have become a widow, and I would have been willing to be a widow myself and curse my husband for not dying? Gan's reason is sufficient, "So I solemnly swear here, all the gods in the sky testify, if I instigate the old lady to split up, Gu Xu will be struck by lightning every day when he goes out, sores on the top of his head, pus on the soles of his feet, and he will get flower willow disease when he walks in the Qinglou, and he will die without a place to be buried." ”
With Gan's loud oath, the house suddenly fell silent, and even the second lady Gu forgot to speak, it was strange to listen to Gu Xu's poisonous oath, but it made sense to explain it well, Gu Xu is the eldest son of the second room, and the noble son-in-law at the top of the house, it seems that there is nothing wrong with using it to make a poisonous oath, but where does it feel strange, what can't be explained.
"Mother, you have made such a heavy poisonous oath, you should believe it, right? It wasn't instigated by your daughter-in-law, it was the old lady's own idea, wasn't the uncle reprimanded by the court, although I am the eldest grandson, but the uncle is the eldest son, of course, the old lady first takes care of the long house, otherwise, if something happens to the long house, our entire Yeguo Mansion can not be saved, fortunately, it is only a separate family now, as long as the long house is stable, the big boss is the eldest father, we will still be able to turn over in the future. ”
Second Mrs. Gu has no reason to make trouble anymore at this time, although she still suspects that her daughter-in-law instigated the old lady to split up the family, but she swore poison to her husband, for the good of her son, Second Mrs. Gu wanted to forget it, but after thinking about it, she was a little unwilling.
"When did your daughter-in-law tell Gu Yun that she would borrow his house?"
"Gu Yun asked us to go to Bai Ko, the two houses that were used as a glass workshop happened to be idle, the key was in Bai Ko's hand, I went out to see it before, and I borrowed it when I thought it was okay." Gu Xu finally got smarter.
"Can the house of the workshop be inhabited?!"
"People can definitely live, but they are smaller, and they can't accommodate too many servants, mother, you have to place your subordinates in another place, only bring personal service, and then take them back to serve you when you find a big mansion in the future."
"Can't even the people who serve take more? That house is so small?! As soon as she heard that the number of people serving was going to decrease significantly, Second Lady Gu was not happy.
"Yes, it's very small, the civilian house can't accommodate too many people, we people live in it, just bring a few more close-fitting and rough ones, and the extra ones have to be resettled."
"How do you find such a small house? Gu Yun doesn't have a bigger one? ”
"The land price in Shangfang is so expensive, where can the third uncle afford a big house at the beginning of his business, but they are now quite famous in the Xiafang area, if my mother-in-law doesn't mind, our family will move to Xiafang?" Gan suddenly interjected, "Bai Ko said, Xiafang can rent the entire house, but the action must be fast, next spring, now is the time for people from all over the country to enter Beijing, and the people on the ground of Zhili have almost arrived, and after winter, let alone the house, it is difficult to rent even a firewood house." ”
"Xiafang? Who's going to Xiafang?! Not in the middle of the square either! We must live in Shangfang, and we must not leave! People like us, once they get out of the circle of Shangfang, it will be difficult to come back! Son, listen to your mother, you must stay in Shangfang, you can't go anywhere! Do you hear that? ”
"Okay, good, do your best."
"Not to the best effort! Yes, by all means! The security in the middle and lower squares is poor, and if you live there, you will be stared at by thieves every day, which of you can stand it? It's not a place for people to live at all! ”
Gan's was not happy when she heard this, her brother and sister-in-law lived in Zhongfang, and the money to buy an ordinary house in Shangfang could buy a big house in Zhongfang, and there were groups of servants, and they didn't know how comfortable they were.
Of course, this can only be slandered in her heart, Gan will not say it, she also wants to see if according to her mother-in-law's request, after the public middle school has calculated the property of the divided family, the money is enough to buy a house that suits her heart in Shangfang.
Gu Xu didn't want to ruin his mother's interest, he nodded whatever she said, and he didn't think about this kind of irresponsible casual promise, if he couldn't realize his mother in the future, what kind of chaos would happen to his mother, Gu Xu just wanted to send his mother out quickly, and he had a headache as soon as she spoke.
Second Mrs. Gu was coaxed by her son and took someone away, still muttering that the house Gu Yun borrowed was too small, and asked her son to hurry up and find a big one elsewhere, she couldn't be left unserved, she was an official wife, what did it look like to live in a small mansion.
Gu Xu nodded again and again, and promised to find a good house in Shangfang, and the family would live and work in peace and contentment, and be happy.
Gan didn't listen to their mother and son's chatter, turned his head and told the girls to continue to do things, prepared pen and ink to write a letter to his brother and sister-in-law, Gu Xu sent his mother back to the room, she didn't get up to say hello, she was very busy.
In the afternoon, Gan Yuwen and his wife received a letter from their sister, and they replied the next day, not only agreeing to help her temporarily store the dowry and settle the next person, but also asked her sister what kind of new house she wanted to find, where she planned to settle down, and if she had anything to help, just tell her brother and sister-in-law.
If there is only a family of three sisters, sisters-in-law, and husbands, the second brother Gan must be willing to receive his own family for the transition of these months, but this is a separation, and he also has his in-laws, even if he has an idle house, his brother and sister-in-law are not willing to be this good person, but he feels sorry for his sister, so he naturally wants his sister's new home to live closer to his home, and he is good at helping each other every day.
Gan exchanged letters with her brother and sister-in-law, packed up, and hired a big car dealer from the district family to send more than ten boxes of clothes from her to her sister-in-law's house as the first batch of luggage.
The foreman's side is also progressing smoothly, cleaning the house is very simple, it will be done in a day or two, the main thing is that the ground is re-paved and all kinds of masonry work needs God's help, fortunately, the weather is good in these days, Gan got the notice of Lao Gu, and he can move at any time.
So Gan went to see the house again, it was really shiny and the windows were bright and clean, she happily settled the final payment, and arranged for the next person to move the necessities of daily life one after another, and she will be able to do what she says if she moves within a month, and will not be dragged out by the old lady in the end.
Mrs. Gu also went to see it in a small sedan chair, although she was not satisfied and had no other way, she wanted to live with her son again, but Gan took the two mothers-in-law as the reason that they were unrestrained, and insisted that her mother-in-law live next door, and she only lived in their family of three and the necessary subordinates, and the rest of the manpower was placed by her brother and sister-in-law.
The fact that these two houses are adjacent to each other is really good for the Gan family.
It's been so many days, and the news that the family of the third room of the Yeguo Mansion is going to split up has slowly spread, and the eldest lord Gu Yunan has been comforted by many people, and they all feel that the black pot that he has carried for several years can finally be unloaded.
The public sentiment of the case of King Yu's disaster relief, which had been brewing for so long in the government and the opposition, has also accumulated to its peak, and the sons of all parts of Beijing have written petitions every day, and the masses are indignant, strongly demanding that the truth of the disaster relief be thoroughly investigated, the reputation of the prince will be restored, the king of Yu will be severely punished, and all the officials and squires of Dacheng Mansion will be investigated for their crimes, and justice will be given to the world.
Among these petitioners, the people of the neighboring prefectures and counties of Dacheng Mansion are the loudest, and they come up with all kinds of examples to prove that Dacheng Mansion has been a tiger for many years, and the Zhao family of Guanxian County is simply the emperor of Dacheng Mansion, and all the officials who have taken office in the past must first worship their docks and collude with them in order to secure their positions, otherwise they will be deducted from various charges, removed from their posts, and degraded, and there have been countless unjust cases in the past few decades.
As soon as these secrets known only to the locals were made public, they caused an uproar, and even some people surrounded the doors of the Yuwang Mansion and the Princess's Mansion in groups and scolded inside, but there was no one behind the gate, even the subordinates were not happy to be scolded like this.
The imperial court, which had been silent, finally responded to the public opinion and sent the head of the household department to Dacheng Mansion as the minister of the Qin Mission, and checked every inch of land.
