XIV - Title Deed
When she returned home, Guo Jia told Hongshang thousands of words uneasily, asking her not to leak her mouth. Hongshang agreed very happily, and Guo Jia was very skeptical. But when Xiu Yuan interrogated the whereabouts of the two in the evening, Hongsheng had a tight mouth and would make up nonsense, Guo Jia's hanging heart finally let go, thinking that he really didn't see the wrong person!
Since he had a red dress, Guo Jia changed into a red dress and waited on the side when he bathed. Hongshang is clever and diligent, and she understands Guo Jia with a look. Guo Jia leaned lazily on the wooden barrel, thinking that she didn't have to listen to Xiu Yuan's nagging when she bathed from now on, she was also happy!
On the second day, Guo Jia got up early in the morning.
Hongshang praised: "Miss, you look so good, you are getting more and more beautiful." β
Guo Jia stretched out without an image, and smiled indifferently.
Xiu Yuan, who was coming here with breakfast, saw it and hurriedly reminded: "Miss, put down your hand, what is like this!" Guo Jia and Hongshang glanced at each other, smiled helplessly, and put down their raised arms according to Yan.
"Was this delivered to Daddy's room?" Guo Jia asked, pointing to the food box in her hand.
Xiu Yuan stopped when she heard this: "Exactly, Hongshang will take the eldest lady to breakfast, the second young lady and the eldest young master have already arrived." I'm going to serve the master. β
Guo Jia took the food box and whispered, "Let me come." β
When Guo Jingzhi saw his daughter coming, his chaotic eyes gradually became clear.
Hongshang helped Guo Jia to help Guo Wangzhi up, stuffed a pillow and sat half-leaning on the head of the bed.
Guo Jia opened the food box, and a burst of meat fragrance came to his nose. She looked at Guo Wangzhi and smiled brightly: "Is it preserved egg and lean porridge, does Daddy like it?" β
Guo Wangzhi looked at his daughter softly and nodded with difficulty.
Guo Jia scooped up a spoonful of gruel, blew it gently, and sent it to Guo Wangzhi's mouth. Guo Wangzhi opened his mouth, and Guo Jia gently poured it into his mouth. The corners of Guo Guo Wangzhi's mouth were weak, and he accidentally missed something, and Hongshang hurriedly handed over a handkerchief to help Guo Jia wipe his clothes. It took a lot of effort, and a bowl of gruel was finally eaten by Guo Wangzhi. Guo Jia still wants to feed, Guo Wangzhi closed his lips, Guo Jia understood what he meant, and put down the dishes and chopsticks.
The red dress neatly packed up her things and quietly exited the room, leaving the father and daughter behind.
Guo Wangzhi opened his mouth, but he only made two ahhhhh
Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Does Daddy want to ask how the situation is in the house?" β
Guo Wangzhi nodded.
Guo Jia pondered for a moment and replied: "Daddy doesn't know, although there is no entry in our house, my uncle, who is not allergic, sent someone to send a lot of valuable gifts last time, which is enough for us to last for a while." The daughter thought that instead of sitting on the empty side, it would be better to invest in a shop, so that the money would make money, although it was limited, but it would always continue to live. β
Guo Wangzhi suddenly said twice, as if he had thought of something.
Guo Jia held Guo Wangzhi's hand and said comfortingly: "Daddy, don't worry, did you remember something?" β
Guo Wangzhi was steady, and said something slowly with his mouth open.
But Guo Jia pricked up his ears and didn't hear clearly: "What? What do you say, Daddy? β
Guo Wangzhi paused again, and said laboriously: "Shop γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» there are...
Guo Jia suddenly thought of something and asked, "Daddy, do you want to say, does our Guo family have a shop?" β
Guo Wangzhi saw that his daughter was so enlightened, and nodded with satisfaction.
"How come it's been so long since no one ever mentioned it to me?" Guo Jia was suspicious.
Guo Wangzhi couldn't explain it, so he could only shake his head weakly.
Guo Jia asked again: "So, where are the title deeds of these shops?" β
Guo Wang was stunned and shook his head.
Guo Jiaqi said: "This is strange, even my father doesn't know, is it in the hands of other clan uncles?" β
Guo Wangzhi shook his head again.
Guo Jia appeased Guo Wangzhi and asked Xiu Yuan and Steward Liu for questioning.
Steward Liu explained: "Miss, this matter is a long story. These shops were originally the dowry of the lady, and the second master (Guo Jingzhi) was red at this dowry, so he instigated the old lady to ask for it; In a fit of rage, Mrs. put away all the title deeds, saying that they were hidden in a place where no one could find them, and even the master didn't know! Who knows that the sky is playing tricks! Mrs. Fubo, the old man was sick again, and the second master found a way to take over the management of the shop. We don't have the backbone, and we can't come back; Miss, you have been back for a short time, and the old slave hasn't had time to tell you yet! β
"Did my mother tell you about the title deed before she died?" Guo Jia asked.
Steward Liu shook his head.
At this time, Xiu Yuan suddenly spoke: "The old slave knows where the title deed is!" β
"Tell me about it!"
Xiu Yuan closed the door and said carefully: "The eldest lady and the old lady had a very stiff quarrel back then. The old lady is eccentric and takes care of the second master in everything. As soon as the second lady pouted, the old lady came to ask the eldest lady for a dowry! The eldest lady was very much loved by Mrs. Xu in the Xuguo Mansion back then, and when she married from the Xuguo Mansion, no one was not envious of the rich dowry she brought, even many rich and noble families couldn't compare! Now most of the shops under the name of the second master are our wife's. After Mrs. collected the title deeds of the grange and shop, she secretly kept an eye on herself. Miss Bu said that I was originally my wife's dowry maid, but I was too stupid to get close to my wife. Unexpectedly, one day Mrs. found the old slave, and actually told the old slave where he put the title deedγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» since the old man was sick, the aunts in the family were scattered again, the second master came in with people violently, and searched all the corners of the Guo Mansion and did not find it, so angry that he gritted his teeth! β
Xiu Yuan thought about it, and was a little afraid: "Madame hid so deeply, if Madame hadn't told me at that time, I'm afraid no one in the world would know!" Miss, please come with me. β
Xiu Yuan took the two of them to turn left and right, and stood in an old mansion in the backyard of Guo's mansion that had not been inhabited for a long time.
Steward Liu was surprised: "How could it be here?" Xiuyuan, didn't you make a mistake? β
Xiu Yuan shook her head: "That's right, Steward Liu." I'm afraid the eldest lady doesn't know yet, this is the old lady's residence before her death, and in recent months, there are not enough people in the house, and this place has been neglected, is it an old slave! β
Guo Jia responded indifferently: "It's okay, there are only a few people in the house, everyone knows about it." She pushed the door open, and a cloud of dust fell from the panel and spilled over several people. Xiu Yuan hurriedly walked ahead, blocking most of the dust. waited until the dust had fallen before Xiu Yuan led the two of them forward.
The spacious room has not been cleaned for a long time, and the floor and table have fallen with a thick layer of dust, but this does not stop the simplicity and luxury of the furnishings in the room.
Xiu Yuan said as she walked: "Our lord is filial, and he knows that the old lady likes such decorations, so he asked a good craftsman to spend several months to build these things!" As she spoke, she had already walked to the bed. Xiu Yuan rolled up her sleeves and climbed under the bed without hesitation, opened the dark compartment on the wall, and took out a delicate box.
"Miss, this is it!" Xiu Yuan handed the box to Guo Jia, who opened it carefully, only to see a stack of silver tickets on top; She picked up the stack of silver tickets and estimated that it should be about 100,000 taels! Below the silver ticket was a stack of yellowed bills, Guo Jia looked at them one by one, even if she didn't care much about these, she couldn't help but exclaim: "God! There are so many products of motherhood! β
Xiu Yuan sighed proudly: "I think our old lady is smart, but she was confused for a while, she never imagined that Mrs. would hide the things she dreamed of by her side!" Come to think of it, our lady is also the smartest person! β
Steward Liu interjected at the right time: "The decline in our house is also near. When the master was fine, there were a lot of inputs in our house. It's just that as soon as the old man fell ill, the second master seized these properties! β
Guo Jia took out a few silver tickets, put the deed back together, closed the lid, and said firmly: "What my mother left me, I should pay it back, I will get it back one day!" Steward Liu, Xiuyuan, you are all my most trusted people, from now on, I will rely on you! β
