The two of them sat in a carriage, followed by the guards on horseback in front of the car, browsing in the surrounding squares at will, and getting off the car to see if they were interested, those cooperative cloth villages were naturally the first place to go, but seeing the surging flow of people inside and outside the shop, Gu Yun and Bai Ko had no interest in getting off, anyway, the business was good.

They walked around and played, spending most of the day outside, Gu Yun also did a few small things for the family by the way, and when they returned to the house, Tong Mingli and her husband had already gone home.

Second Mrs. Gu sat in the room and counted Gu Xu, and the more she talked, the more unjust she became.

Tong Mingli and Liang Zhongshan came to pay New Year's greetings and brought the latest news on the street in the past few days.

The second room is now an elder, they are all sitting at home waiting for the juniors to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, Gu Er Lady naturally did not go out, although Gu Er Er will go out to meet friends, but he is an old man, and he did not pay attention to what the lively scene on the street has to do with his nephew, so if it wasn't for Liang Zhongshan and his wife coming over, the couple would not know that Gu Yun was doing business so generously.

"Tell me how you became the eldest brother, the younger brother's business is so big, you don't know at all, you are still brothers, and they didn't even tell you to take you to make money together."

"Gu Yun knows that I don't have an estate in my name, what's the use of him telling me?"

"Why did I give birth to such a stupid son as you! You don't have an estate in your name, your daughter-in-law has a cloth village in her name, and your mother also has it, and he asked you if you had? He didn't say anything, making it clear that he didn't want you to be better than him. Second Mrs. Gu slammed the table, "Master, you have something to say, we are being bullied by Changfang like this?!" ”

"Madame, don't be angry, what does this have to do with the long house? That's Gu Yun's business alone, who does he want to cooperate with, who can say that he is not? Second Master Gu also felt that his wife's temper was a little strange.

"Who does Gu Yunai love to do business with? So whose son do you say he is? If he wasn't the eldest son of the eldest son, could he be canonized as the son? He is so young and has no experience in business, where does he know how to find a partner, and it is not that someone instigated him to share with our second and third rooms. ”

The more Mrs. Gu spoke, the more sad she became, and she slapped her chest loudly.

"Our niece-in-law Liang Zhongshan said that our Gu Chan's husband candidate is on him, he will go out to pay attention to Zhang Luo, he is the younger brother of Princess Yu, our Gu Chan is the life of marrying the children of the clan in the final analysis, and marrying better than Gu Yan, Gu Yan and her family come back to pay New Year's greetings in the second year of junior high school, and the sisters and brothers have to pay a big salute to her, you didn't see her smug face at that time."

Hearing the name Liang Zhongshan, the father and son quietly glanced at each other, did not answer the conversation, and let Tong speak vigorously alone.

After Mrs. Gu finished what she was going to say in one breath, she stopped to catch her breath, looked up and saw that the father and son had dull expressions like wooden people, and couldn't help but slap the table a few times.

"I've said so much, you two should have a reaction! Changfang is bullying us now, and you are so obedient? ”

"Madam, you have to make it clear, is the long room you are talking about guiding the eldest brother and sister-in-law, or is it just referring to Gu Yun? Don't put Gu Yun's own things on the head of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, there are one to say and two to say, don't mess around. ”

"Why am I messing around? Why am I messing around? You said, let's be clear, why am I messing around? Gu Yun is not their son, and it is not Gu Yun's turn to be the master of the house yet! When won't he listen to his father's teachings in person? Gu Yun's own business is big, but he doesn't bring his own brothers, it must be instigated by the two in-laws in the long house! Second Mrs. Gu jumped up and slapped the table, her voice getting louder and louder.

"Mother, if you don't say a few words, it will be embarrassing for your subordinates to hear it, and you still think that we are jealous of Gu Yun's wealth."

"Am I jealous of Gu Yun's wealth? I feel sorry for your sister Gu Chan, she is about to become an old girl, she hasn't even settled on her in-laws, and if she wants to marry high, she has to get the corresponding dowry, do you think it's so easy to marry a child of the clan? Gu Yan's husband's position is not high, and the requirements for the dowry are not high, her dowry is good to prepare, but if our Gu Chan marries better than Gu Yan, how can the dowry have to be doubled, right? Do you think the public high school will pay it all? If Gu Yun hadn't married a wife for himself in the future, would he have started business? ”

"Mother, since you know that Gu Yun makes money to marry a wife in the future, what do you have to do with him?"

"Why don't you understand, my stupid son, he is short of money when he marries a wife and your sister marries, he knows this, and now that he is doing so well in business, he won't give you a hand, he doesn't have you in his eyes at all, you are his eldest brother!"

The more Mrs. Gu spoke, the more sad and sad she became, and she couldn't help but cry, so frightened that the girls on the side hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.

"Mother, you don't go out every day, where did you hear that Gu Yun's business is doing well? He has been throwing money into it, there is no revenue at all, he also promised the saint to pay taxes of 10,000 taels, I don't know when he can cash it, if it drags on for a long time, he will be deceived by ginseng, mother, do you know how big the consequences are? Will it affect our whole house? I will also be implicated, next year is another year of spring, I am a Jishi seeing that my term of office is about to expire, do you want me to stay in the capital or do you hope that I will not be able to come back for a few years when I go to other places? And Daddy, his three-year term of office will expire at the end of the year, do you want him to go further afield? Can't come back for the New Year? ”

The second Mrs. Gu, who was crying, was so frightened by her son's words that her tears retracted, and she held her husband's hand in a panic, her voice hoarse.

"Master, it's me who is confused, it's all because I'm angry for a while, and I don't choose what to say, let's not mention it, don't mention it."

"Madam, you are shrewd on weekdays, but you can't pull it out from such a bull's horn, Gu Yun's business is supported by your sister-in-law, you want our Xu'er to get a private property, then you can also follow your sister-in-law's example and pay directly, do you have to scold Changfang so ugly? Gu Yun used your money for business? You helped him get his current title of Imperial Merchant? Sister-in-law's own dowry, she has taken a part of it to the public middle school every year, how much money have you given to the public middle school after you have been married for so many years? Do you want to calculate how many shops are left in your hands after more than 20 years? You yourself are not the material for doing business, the dowry is about to be lost, and you still have the face to scold the long house for not being kind? ”

The second master Gu was also disturbed by his wife's nonsense, slapping the table and scolding angrily, the second lady sobbed again, and the girls hurriedly stroked her chest and back, so as not to make her angry.

Gu Chan, who was sitting in her room resting, heard the girl report that her parents were quarreling, and hurriedly came to persuade her, and only when she entered the door did she hear her father's roar.
