The third lady, Sun Rouyue, heard that her father and mother were back, and called her over, thinking that the matter was done, so she came to the main hall with an excited face, and just stepped into one foot and couldn't wait to ask, "Dad, mother, has the eldest brother's marriage been withdrawn?" Did Gu Qingshu's cheap girl cry and beg you not to withdraw from your family? ”

Hearing this, Sun Renhuai, who had just suppressed some of the anger, suddenly rose again, and immediately shouted: "Rebel girl, kneel down, look at what you said?" Have you learned the etiquette rules of Miss Dog's belly? Yes? ”

Sun Rouyue was startled, her calves weakened, she knelt on the ground, and trembled, "Dad, Dad, don't be angry, my daughter knows that she is wrong." Her so-called mistake is just a knee-jerk reaction, but she never thinks she is wrong in her heart. She was worried in her heart, and she wasn't sure whether her eldest brother's marriage with the Gu family had been withdrawn.

Sun Renhuai had a gloomy face, sent all his subordinates away, asked Zhang's mother to take away the frightened five-time Sun Jingbei, and let the eldest son and the second son stay outside the hall door to prevent people from approaching, and then the interrogation began. "You pushed Gu Qingshu into the lotus pond?"

Sun Rouyue's face turned pale, and she gave Sun Zhang a look for help.

Sun Renhuai knew that this was true when he saw her reaction, so he was so angry that he slapped the table in his hand loudly, "Don't tell the truth yet." ”

Sun Rouyue shrank her neck in fright, but she also guessed in her heart that this matter would be exposed, and nine times out of ten, it was Gu Qingshu's complaint. She hated Gu Qingshu, but also resented her mother for not standing up for her at a critical time, so she felt aggrieved and shed tears, but said stubbornly: "What if I pushed it?" It was the cheap girl who spoke ill of me in front of Sister Rong first, and I pushed it. She is shameless, she deserves to die, who let her hold on to her eldest brother, refuse to withdraw from her relatives, and secretly like Xi Gongzi. She's damned. ”

Sun Renhuai closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he pointed at Sun Zhang, "Look at the good daughter you taught, one by one." Look at the good son you taught, pointing at other people's noses and scolding them for being ugly and ugly, it really disgraced the Sun family. What did you all do, huh? You go out and inquire about what the people outside are saying about our Sun Mansion now. ungrateful, disgusted with the poor and loving the rich, vicious with their children, bullying the descendants of heroes, bullying the widows and orphans of heroes......"

Sun Rouyue was not convinced, "What if you are bullied, others will not lose a piece of meat if they say a few words." Their ancient family is full of waste from top to bottom, what else can they do except accept their fate? ”

Sun Zhang, who covered half of his face and sobbed in a low voice, still had the strength to nod at this time, expressing his agreement with his daughter's words. In her eyes, Gu Ye and Gu Qingshu are like the grass on the side of the road, they are stepped on and practiced by casual people, she doesn't understand what her master is afraid of, so afraid of offending the ancient mansion?

Sun Ren couldn't wait to kick the two of them to death, feeling that whatever he said was playing the piano to the cow, and it was useless, "What a stupid woman teaches can only be a fool." With that, Huo Di got up from the main seat and walked to his daughter, "Say, when you pushed her into the water, who were next to you?" ”

Speaking of this question, Sun Rouyue was no longer so afraid, and said fearlessly: "Don't worry, Dad, at that time, except for her daughter and Gu Qingshu, there was only a maid who followed the ancient mansion and Xiaocui beside her daughter." Xiaocui's daughter had already warned her, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense. As for the maid in the ancient mansion, she was sold to the capital by the Gu family a few days ago, and the mother sent someone to confirm it, and there will be no mistake. It means that as long as she doesn't admit it, she insists that Gu Qingshu is lying, and Gu Fu can't help her.

Sun Renhuai's heart moved, "Are these really the only two maids who saw it?" ”

Sun Rouyue: "Seriously, Dad." That's when we avoided people talking. After her daughter angrily pushed her into the water, she and Xiaocui saw that there was no one else around, so she walked away with confidence. ”

Sun Zhang hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry! The maid of the ancient mansion is named Xiaosuo, and on the day that the ancient mansion sold her, the concubine deliberately followed her, from the small lock into the hands of the human tooth, to the person who was taken out of the capital by the human tooth, and the people sent out were firmly stared at, and then the small lock was bought and taken to the field to be resold. ”

Sun Renhuai was silent for a moment, strode over and opened the closed hall door, and did not look at the two sons who were guarding the door with shocked expressions, and summoned Sun Laicai, who was waiting not far away, and said: "Order, from today on, Mrs. and Miss are not allowed to step out of the door of the mansion without my order, who dares to disobey, the family law will serve." ”

Sun Laicai said yes.

"Sir." This was the sharp voice of Sun Zhang.

"Dad, don't." Sun Rouyue shouted with a crying voice.

Sun Renhuai flicked his sleeves with a gloomy face, "From today onwards, without my permission, Madame and Miss will not be allowed to take half a step out of their respective courtyards." This one is even more ruthless, narrowing the scope of activities of the mother and son directly from the entire mansion to their respective small courtyards.

At this time, the mother and son were in tears and did not dare to speak again.

Sun Jingdong wanted to open his mouth to ask, but Sun Renhuai didn't give him a chance and called him directly to the study.

Sun Renhuai sat down behind the big bookcase, "What do you think?" Do you also think that the ancient mansion is easy to handle, and it doesn't matter how we treat it? ”

Sun Jingdong didn't know what happened to his father and mother when he came to the ancient mansion today, but he did think that the ancient mansion could be manipulated by their Sun family. "Dad, marrying Gu Qingshu is not beneficial to his son's career."

At this time, Sun Renhuai was both disappointed and regretful. He regretted that he had only cared about business in the past three years, but neglected the discipline and education of his children, and let the short-sighted and vulgar Sun Zhang influence his children. He decided that in the future, he would no longer run around in person, but sit in the capital and teach his children personally.

He asked earnestly: "Jingdong, do you know when the ancient mansion where only women and children are left has never been looked down upon by the neighbors and has been surviving safely in the capital?" ”

Sun Jingdong was stunned, he only noticed the fact that the ancient mansion was getting more and more depressed, but he never thought that at this level, "Dad, my son doesn't know." ”

Sun Renhuai decided to have a heart-to-heart relationship with his son, "Although Gu Yunhu has been dead for five years, his prestige in the army has not disappeared, do you know why?" ”

Sun Jingdong asked in disbelief: "Is there such a thing?" How can it be? He was born in a poor family, and his family background itself is not thick, and now he has been dead for five years, and he has not left a son who can support the façade, and the little connections he accumulated during his life have long been dispersed, so why has the prestige in the army not disappeared? ”

Sun Renhuai looked at his son for a while, and when his son lowered his head helplessly, he sighed, "Don't just look at the surface of anything, don't underestimate the ancient mansion today, don't be short-sighted like your mother." As for your marriage, that's not something you should worry about, that's something your father should worry about. Dad will leave the previous questions to you, you go back and think about it, when you figure it out, feel free to come over and tell Dad to listen. ”

When Sun Jingdong respectfully withdrew from the study, Sun Renhuai began to ponder how to appease the matter of the ancient mansion. In the final analysis, he never thought that the Gu Mansion without Gu Yunhu would dare to retreat from this family business. He decided that as long as he sent a piece of appropriate sweet dates to Gufu and gave it a step down, this page would naturally be revealed.

With a weak and irresponsible housewife like Gu Ye's family, even if Gu Qiang is there, he is just a housekeeper and can't afford any trouble. It's just that he never expected that before his son unveiled his appearance and learned the real Gufu shape, he was out of his control.

In the ancient mansion, Qingshu, who won a small victory in the first battle, was in a good mood. In order to reward everyone in the house for completing their respective tasks remarkably, he instructed the kitchen to eat white flour steamed buns for dinner, stir-fry two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and add a portion of pork ribs and stewed vegetables, so that they are full.

In this era, white flour is a precious thing, and ordinary people can't eat it several times a year. Even if it is a rich and noble family, the most generous master only allows the servants in the house to eat white flour for a month or two. Qingshu asked all the people in the house to eat white-flour steamed buns today, not to mention, there were three meat dishes, and they were full.

As soon as the news came out, the smiling cook was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and the others were also busy with their own work.

Xiaojuan, who has a lot of strength and a lot of food, was so happy that she greeted her own lady, and ran to the kitchen to help with a cheer.

While everyone was looking forward to the dinner with a smile on their faces, Gu Qiang brought Su's mother over and put the six hundred taels of silver tickets and two silver ingots on the table next to Qing Shu.

Qing Shu didn't look at it, "There are a lot of places in the house where money is used, put it in the account room, you look at the arrangement!" ”

Gu Qiang had other plans, "Miss, Mr. Accounts submitted his resignation half a month ago, and he will leave in five days." The small one can't find a suitable person to take over, so the little one wants to bother Miss to take over, and the young lady can learn the way to run a house from the side. ”

Qing Shu was stunned, "Why did Mr. Bookkeeper resign?" ”

Gu Qiang's face stopped talking.

Qing Shu blinked, and suddenly remembered that the former lord ignored the explanations of Mr. Accounts and Gu Qiang more than twenty days ago, and did not say anything about Mr. Accounts, and forcibly scavenged the few deposits in the account room, and was speechless for a while. She smiled awkwardly, "I don't understand such things as bookkeeping and accounting." ”

Gu Qiang said: "As long as the primary school is willing to learn, the little one will have a way to let the bookkeeper and the church lady leave again." ”

Mother Su put on a high hat for Qingshu from the side with an honest face, "Miss is talented, as long as she is willing to learn, there is nothing in the world that can stump Miss." ”

Qing Shu wasn't sure if this was Gu Qiang's two people testing her or what, but if she had the opportunity to control the economic power of the house, why should she refuse, even if she took over a mess, but it was better to take over than to know nothing and let the house continue to be struggling. So she agreed, and promised to study with Mr. Bookkeeper from tomorrow
