Chapter 289: Heating
Looking at Gu Mao's stunned appearance, which she couldn't believe and had to believe, Gu Miao felt that her heart was really refreshed. After she knew that she and her aunt had chosen to lean towards Fourteen Niang, Gu Mo and Aunt Jiang slandered and ridiculed their choice in every way.
She needed something to prove that her choice with her aunt was right, and slapped Gu Yu in the face. She originally planned to mention this to Fourteen Niang in the next few days, but what she didn't expect was that before she could speak, Fourteen Niang sent something.
Silver Charcoal! It's the first time she's grown up to use something so good! It feels so good to use, and it feels even better to see Jiu Niang's expression of shock and disbelief but with a hint of remorse.
"Jiu Niang, what are you holding in your arms?" Gu Miao smiled and said, "Yo, it's black charcoal, where did you get so much black charcoal, and you don't think you're dirty?" Come on, it's frozen, hurry up and bake the fire. Do you have charcoal in the house, why don't you take some from me, Fourteen Niang said, she bought a lot from there, which is definitely enough for me. My aunt sent it there, too. ”
Gu Yu wanted to say that she obviously didn't hold charcoal in her arms, and the charcoal was obviously held by her girl...... However, as soon as she heard Gu Miao say that she could give her some silver silk charcoal, she couldn't open her mouth again.
She's never used silver charcoal before......
"Where did Fourteen Niang come from?" She asked tentatively. Mrs. wants to go with Eleventh Niang and Fourteen Niang more to inquire about the news, so now she is inquiring about the news. Then, there is nothing to be afraid of receiving a little bit from Eleven Niang by yourself.
"Fourteen Niang bought it, you don't know that at that time, Mrs. gave her the identity of a concubine, and also gave her a Zhuangzi and a shop. She sold all the Zhuangzi shops, doesn't she have any money in her hands? Gu Miao said indifferently.
Gu Mo was taken aback, and said in her heart, this is big news, if Mrs. knows, she will be happy. She sat down and asked cautiously, "But didn't the three thousand taels of silver that I sold all the decoration of the Yurong Courtyard be used up?" ”
"Do you believe it, can you use up three thousand taels to renovate a Yurong Courtyard?" Gu Miao looked at her like a fool, "Fourteen Niang is such a smart person, how long can she live in Yurong Courtyard, spend three thousand taels to decorate, who is cheaper?" There's more to come. ”
"That's right." Gu Mo nodded slowly, feeling that it was really right for him to come to Gu Miao today.
But she had some faint complaints in her heart, a person like Shi Niang who took advantage of the unfinished, did not expect that Shi Niang was willing to give her such a big benefit. As for Madame, she and her aunt have spent so much effort to convince her, especially her aunt, even if it is a dirty job, she is willing to do it......
As a result, he was reluctant to reward himself for even a little good charcoal.
For a moment, she was a little dazed.
But things have come to this point, even if she regrets it, it is useless. She could only go one way to the black and follow Yao's down.
She remembered Gu Yuan's words just now, and cheekily asked her for silver silk charcoal.
But Gu Ming's benefits are not so easy to take advantage of, originally she just said it casually, originally thought that Gu Mo was thin-skinned and couldn't pull down her face. Unexpectedly, she still underestimated the charm of silver silk charcoal.
Gu Ming, who has always been gentle, turned out to be so shameless!
This realization really shocked Gu Wei beyond measure!
When Gu Mo hugged the silver silk charcoal that he finally asked for from Gu Mao, and went to Aunt Jiang in person, Gu Mao had not come back to his senses.
She asked her girl Bai He: "Do you think, was Jiu Niang thicker than my cheeks just now?" ”
Bai He is simply amazed by this question of his own young lady, it turns out that you still know that you are a cheeky person! caused her to face the ridicule of other big girls from time to time, and her face became much thicker.
Looking at her girl's expression, Gu Miao also understood her thoughts, but she didn't scold her, but just sighed and said, "Be a concubine under Madame...... If I'm not thick-skinned, I'll starve to death! "And where does she want to be cheeky? Just like this time, if it weren't for Fourteen Niang sharing her own charcoal, I was afraid that I would really freeze to death!
If she is like Shi Niang and Sixteen Niang, she lacks nothing, will she look at other people's things? What will she see and ask for it?
Cheek, that's how you practice it unconsciously!
Gu Yu personally held the silver silk charcoal, and Bai Jing held the black charcoal, and went to Aunt Qiu's autumn garden first. Unlike Wei Ziyuan, which was steaming hot with charcoal, Qiuyuan was as cold as a block of ice, and it was damp and cold with dripping water.
The doors and windows of each room were closed in an attempt to make the room feel a little warmer.
Gu Mo sadly pushed open the door of Aunt Jiang's room, only to find that the dim room was crowded with people. In order to keep warm, the windows are covered by thick quilts, so the light in the room is very dark.
Seeing her daughter come in, Aunt Jiang was very happy, and explained embarrassedly: "It's too cold in the house, so I asked them all to come in...... There are a lot of people, so it can be warmer. ”
When Gu Mo heard Aunt Jiang's words, tears immediately burst out.
She said to Aunt Jiang hesitantly: "That's ...... It's not a ......."
"It doesn't matter, didn't Madame say it, according to the time of previous years, there are no days left. After surviving these few days, it will be better, and the quilt hidden in the window can be taken down, so that the room will be much brighter. Aunt Jiang said with a reluctant smile.
"But Madame said today that because the expenses for this year are too large, and the public middle school is insufficient, it ...... The time for charcoal will be delayed again. Gu Mo said softly.
At this moment, not only Aunt Jiang's face suddenly became unsightly, but even all the girls in the room changed their faces.
Drag it out any longer? On such a cold day, do you want to let people live?
"Jiu Niang, what are you holding in your arms?" Suddenly, Mingsi's eyes were sharp and he found the bag of things that Gu Yu had been holding tightly in his arms.
Aunt Jiang squinted her eyes, and then realized that there was something in her daughter's arms.
In order to embroider a dowry for Qi Niang, she has been embroidering things day and night for the past two years, but the lamp oil allocated by the Yao family is limited, so she can only save it. Even now that she was using all her strength to stutter, Yao was only a little more lenient with her.
So her eyes are already boiled out.
"This is a little silver charcoal that Eleven Niang gave to her daughter just now." Gu Yu put down the things and said, "My daughter has begged Madame for a long time, and she gave some black charcoal to come down, which is useful, so she sent silver charcoal to my aunt." ”
"How can this work? You don't have much of it yourself! Aunt Jiang was anxious, hurriedly stepped forward, and excused herself, "Hurry up and take it back, what should you do if your child's family is frozen?" Auntie has nothing to do here, when people squeeze in, it's warm! ”
"Auntie, don't worry, Jiu Niang has something to tell you." Gu Yu said, and said to the rest of the room, "You go back to your room first." ”
The girls were reluctant to move. Although there is no charcoal burning in this room, it is not too cold because so many people are crowded together. But in your own room, with a cold bed and a cold stove, you can't freeze to death!
"Bai Jing, give each of them a little bit of black charcoal." Gu Yu said.
Only then did these people begin to move, and if they had charcoal, they could make a fire, and if they made a brazier, the room would not be cold. So each of them received a small amount of charcoal, and went back.
Aunt Jiang was a little distressed, but she knew that her daughter must have something very important to tell her, otherwise she wouldn't have spent so much, so she waited quietly.
