"That's it, it's a relative, we don't want to do too much, Second Mrs. Gu will take out another 50,000 taels to make up a whole number, and our two families will clear this matter." Guan saw that the eldest lady didn't plan to care anymore, so he kindly suggested.
But at this moment, the words "relatives" came out of her mouth, which seemed very ironic: "If not, let's calculate the old accounts well, after all, it was only more than ten years ago, and it is not difficult to bother to check it." β
Xiao Sun's family was blocked, and when he turned his head and saw Gu Qingwan sitting with his head down, he suddenly grabbed Gu Qingwan's hand: "Third girl, why don't you say something, our second room is really difficult now." Your father sold a lot of property, and now he is overstretched, I know that you complain about me in your heart, but in the end the master is your father. If it is known to outsiders......"
"If it is known to outsiders, it must be the second wife's tone." Gu Qingwan raised her head and said to Xiao Sun, she glanced at the small box casually, and asked, "I don't know if the 150,000 yuan was taken out by my father or by the second wife?" β
Xiao Sun's face turned pale, and after a while, he said, "Who took it out, what does it matter?" β
"That's what my father took out." Gu Qingwan nodded and made a summary, "Since my father is now overstretched, I think the remaining 50,000 taels of silver will be paid by the second wife, presumably the second wife is also willingβ After all, those jewelry and furs, that is, furniture and furs, are all used by the second wife, right?" β
Xiao Sun's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up: "Third girl, I haven't given you a subsidy all these years." The mahogany furniture in your house, and the jewelry you've sent over the years......"
Before Xiao Sun finished speaking, he heard Guan Shi say coldly on the side: "Could it be that the daughter of your Gu family wants our He family's silver to support you?" With that, she looked at the eldest lady and smiled. If Second Mrs. Gu thinks that it should be like this, we have nothing to say, after all, Qingwan is our cousin in the house. and fifty thousand taels of silver. We don't want it from the He family. β
The eldest lady's face turned pale with anger on the side, and she said in a low voice: "Brother and sister, now is not the time to bargain. As I said last time, the deceased is the greatest, and Qingwan is in a dilemma in this matter, and you and the second brother don't have to climb her. β
Xiao Sun shrank for a moment, and then heard the eldest lady immediately decide: "It doesn't matter if you make up for the 50,000 taels or the second brother fills it." It's all your business. Ten days later, the public high school will remake the book, and you will find a way when you go back today. After that, he said to Guan and Lu, "Ten days later, I will invite the two uncles and wives to come over again." β
Xiao Sun's face was blue and he didn't speak, and the eldest lady didn't pay attention to her anymore.
"As for these things that are placed in our Humble Administrator's Hall. If the two uncles and wives are relieved, they will be stored with me first. After the book is rebuilt, it will be moved to our old lady's yard. After speaking, he thought of something else, "As for the title deeds of those Zhuangzi and shops, they must have to be paid a year ago." Now that the third girl is following me to learn housekeeping, it is better to hand over those land deeds to her, it looks far better than to deal with it herself, how do the two uncles and wives think? β
Now what the eldest lady is most afraid of is that the He family is not at ease, and she has to take care of the He family's dowry herself. No matter how many excuses there are. The mother's family got back the dowry, which was enough for the rumors in the capital to spread for a while.
Hearing the eldest lady's words, Guan really breathed a sigh of relief: "The county lord has arranged it very well, and the lord will definitely agree." β
Although the Lu family is jealous of these dowries, even if the He family takes care of them personally, the two masters of the He family will be the masters to return Gu Qingwan at that time. The old man may feel guilty and add more for himself. This hot potato Lu didn't want it either. Hurriedly nodded.
Xiao Sun's last thought of luck was no longer there, and he walked out of the hugging building with a dead face, and was helped back by Poria. Guan and Lu exchanged a few words with the eldest lady, and then Gu Qingwan and Weiyu personally sent them out of the inner courtyard.
The eldest lady was really resolute, and that night she sent the title deeds of the Zhuangzi and the shop in the He dowry together with the account book, and the ones that were placed in the hands of the old lady Gu were also given to Gu Qingwan.
Gu Mingli, who should be compensated, also made up for it, Xiao Sun's originally wanted to take Gu Mingli to fish in troubled waters, but he didn't expect Gu Qingwan to pull her out. Gu Mingli refused to care anymore, and the 50,000 taels of silver could only be paid by Xiao Sun's own money.
Xiao Sun's liver hurt with anger, and he went to Mrs. Gu's side to serve for two days with her illness, and then told Mrs. Gu about it aggrievedly. It's just that she said vaguely, and repeatedly said that the second room is now overstretched, and she can't come out with more money.
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she had to do it, but she felt that the He family was too deceitful, so she called Gu Qingwan to reprimand her. Seeing that Gu Qingwan insisted on refusing to go to He's house to be a lobbyist, he punished her to kneel in the small Buddha hall, but was refuted by the eldest lady who rushed to hear the news.
Let Weiyu personally send Gu Qingwan back to Yuanxiang Pavilion, and the eldest lady and Old Lady Gu talked in the house for a long time. Gu Qingwan didn't care what the eldest lady said, she only knew that the old lady Gu was sick that day, and she was exempted from the morning and dusk of the wives and girls in the house for a month.
Xiao Sun's family saw that one of the backers had also been lost, so they could only grit their teeth and sell a few properties in her marriage, barely scraping together 50,000 taels, and sent them to the Humble Administrator's Hall full of sadness. After that, Xiao Sun was sick for a while, and he didn't get better, Gu Qingyan waited in front of her sickbed for a few days, and came to Yuanxiang Pavilion to learn the rules as usual.
In October, there was a heavy snowfall in Beijing, and the illness of Mrs. Gu and Xiao Sun was cured at the same time. It's just that the weather is cold, and Old Madam Gu has to recuperate, so Gu Qingwan doesn't have to go to ask for peace every day.
The old lady is not in good health, and the girls in the family go to visit from time to time, and Gu Qingwan can't help but go. Old Madam Gu's expression was very complicated when she saw her, and after Gu Qingwan personally brought the decoction and fed it to Old Madam Gu to drink, Old Madam Gu said with pity, "I have wronged you."
Gu Qingwan still remembered that some time ago, she listened to Xiao Sun's words, so she angrily asked herself to go to the kneeling Buddha Hall. Although she didn't know what Old Madam Gu was planning, she just listened and didn't take it to heart.
When the second heavy snow came, Mama Tian and Mama Zhang returned to the palace with the thank you gifts given by the Gu family and Gu Qingwan. A few days later, the palace rewarded a pair of Hetian jade bracelets and ten green hairpins to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the eldest lady sent them directly to the Yuanxiang Pavilion.
Gu Qingwan saw that the pair of bracelets had the marks of the palace, so she asked the laurel leaf to be carefully put away in the box. There is no mark on the hairpin of that point of emerald, and the ten patterns are different, it must be a set, but it is also very chic. She picked two sticks with relatively simple patterns, and asked Bao Tian and Jin Hai to send them to the other girls' yards.
Gu Qingyan followed the eldest lady to learn the housekeeper during the day, and followed the two nurturing grandmothers in the palace to learn the rules, which was a bit hard. She stayed up for a while, and after the two grandmothers left, her tense spirit relaxed, and she was also slightly ill When Tian and Jin Hai sent the hairpin over, Xiao Sun was coaxing Gu Qingyan to take medicine.
Even if Bao Tian and Jin Hai arrived at the Hingshui Pavilion first, Gu Qingyan was not very happy in her heart, but Xiao Sun asked Xingyu to give a reward, and sent Bao Tian and Jin Hai out of the courtyard.
As soon as Baotian and Jin Hai went out, Gu Qingyan dropped the two hairpins, and said hatefully: "Now she will pretend to buy people's hearts, look at her arrogant appearance, don't you just want to show that she is something sent from the palace." If I really fought with her at the beginning, the name of this princess would not fall to anyone. β
The two emerald hairpins are hostas, although they are packed in boxes, they can't withstand falling, and one of them falls to the ground and breaks into two.
Xiao Sun asked Liyun to pack up the two hairpins, and then sent the maid out of the house to wait. She listened to Gu Qingyan's words, and she was also angry.
In her heart, if Gu Qingwan hadn't been married to the fifth prince and the dowry, the eldest lady and the old lady Gu would not have helped Gu Qingwan like this. But she only has Gu Qingyan as a girl, who has been raised like a pearl like jade since she was a child, and let her marry a fool, Xiao Sun's family is really reluctant.
"Yan'er, don't worry, your mother will definitely not wronged you. You're still sick, but don't move. Xiao Sun hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Gu Qingyan for a few words, and said, "The top priority is that you have to take care of your illness, and after a while, you will be 100 years old in the Zhenguo Mansion, and the Duchess of Liguo will definitely go too." β
On August 19, the eldest girl Gu Qingshu gave birth to a brother at full term, who is the eldest grandson of the Zhenguo Mansion. The child's name has not yet been taken, and now he is just calling "Brother Qiao".
The eldest lady was so happy, even the old lady Gu who was sick was very happy, and on the day of Brother Qiao'er's "washing three", she went to go in person, and the little Sun family naturally followed. And the Duchess of Liguo and the Duchess of Zhenguo were handkerchiefs and were also present that day. The little grandson also chatted with the Duchess of Li Guo for a while, and the Duchess of Li Guo sighed that she did not know when she would be able to hold her grandson.
Xiao Sun was so excited that he trembled, and he knew that the Duchess of Liguo had only one son-in-law, and she had already reached the age of marriage. She said such things in front of Xiao Sun, which was somewhat suggestive.
Sure enough, later the Duchess of Zhenguo mentioned Xie Ziran's family affairs before the little grandson, and said that when Brother Qiao was 100 years old, she would invite the girls of the Gu family to come to the Zhenguo Mansion to take a look at the little nephew.
Gu Qingyan's originally pale face was already red, what Xiao Sun said was so obvious, how could she not understand.
If it weren't for Xie Ziran, why would she and Gu Qingwan take the risk of doing such a thing in the first place, and now they can be regarded as guarding the clouds and seeing the sun. She was really looking forward to what kind of expression Gu Qingwan would have when she learned the news. Even if she is a princess, she can only live as a fool for the rest of her life.
Gu Qingyan looked at the hairpin that was broken in two on the table, and laughed to herself. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
