Hearing Qi Bo's words, Mrs. Gu's face became very ugly, today's family banquet, Gu Qingyue didn't come to participate, he actually went to the gambling house to gamble money, and asked the family to come to the door to ask for gambling debts.

"Qi Bo, how much gambling debt does the eldest young master owe in total?" Zhan said softly.

"Big lady, a total of 50,000 taels of silver." Ziber looked puzzled.

"What? Fifty thousand taels of silver? The Qin family in the second room screamed, this 50,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, this damn Gu Qingyue actually lost so much at one time.

"Taifu, eldest lady, the person in the gambling house said that if you don't hand over the gambling debts, you will unload one of the arms of the eldest young master."

"Then let the people in the gambling house beat him to death, I will treat him as if I have never given birth to such a son." Gu Taifu said angrily.

"Taifu, don't, Qingyue is the only male in our big house, and he is the eldest son, you can't let people cripple him." Feng cried.

"It's really unlucky, everyone was celebrating my mother's pregnancy today, but there were these bad things for no reason." Gu Yunxin said with a look of displeasure.

"Miss, how can you say it, Qingyue is your eldest brother, how can you treat him like this, is it because he is a concubine?" Feng Shi cried.

It's already this time, Feng didn't forget to slander Gu Yunxin a few words, only to see Gu Yunxin hook his lips slightly, but he didn't speak, Hongling raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

"Qi Bo, go to the account office and withdraw 50,000 taels of silver tickets, let those people take them, don't let them hurt Qingyue." Zhan said lightly.

Although this Feng family is also disrespectful to himself on weekdays, and Gu Qingyue is not a fuel-efficient lamp, for the sake of family harmony, Gu's mother is tolerant in many things.

"No, just let the people in the gambling house take off one of his arms, and save yourself from causing trouble everywhere and losing the face of the Gu family." Old Madam Gu said angrily.

"Old lady, you can't be like this, Qingyue is the only male grandson of the Gu family, and he will inherit everything from the Gu family in the future, if he is crippled, then he can't have a good marriage, and he will be hindered in his career in the future." Isn't that the fifth son of the emperor a good example? Feng said angrily.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Taifu raised his hand and slapped Feng Shi fiercely, "Woe comes from the mouth, His Royal Highness King Rui is also something you can put your beak at will?" The emperor is so fond of King Rui, how can he tolerate someone making fun of King Rui, besides, King Rui is injured, it is for the peace of the people of the Great Zhou, and the people of Kyoto love King Rui, if you talk nonsense, if it is spread out, won't you have to bear the infamy of the Gu family? ”

Originally, he was very happy today, but he didn't expect such an unfortunate thing to happen. He has also heard of Gu Qingyue's rumors, and he drinks and has fun with fox friends all day long. It's just that in recent days, those rumors have become even worse, such as molesting single women in restaurants and teahouses, and even fighting with others for famous prostitutes. If he hadn't been busy with the affairs of the court, he would have disciplined this son well a long time ago.

"Daddy, grandmother, according to what my mother said, give money to the people in the gambling hall and keep the eldest brother safe, this is for the sake of our Gu family's reputation, in case those people in the gambling house spread the news that the eldest brother owes a huge amount of gambling debts, Daddy, your official reputation will also be affected, besides, my mother is now pregnant, and we must also accumulate blessings for the unborn child." Gu Yunxin said softly.

Hearing Gu Yunxin say this, Old Madam Gu nodded slightly, although she didn't like this grandson, she also had to think about the reputation of the Gu family, the most important thing was that Gu Yunxin said that she would accumulate blessings for the child in her mother's womb.

After thinking about it carefully, Old Madam Gu waved her hand helplessly and said: "Then go to the account room to get the silver tickets for those people in the gambling house, from today on, Feng's monthly silver will be halved, and Gu Qingyue's monthly silver will be deducted, when will the deficit of the 50,000 taels of silver be made up, and when will it be replied." ”

"Yes, old lady." Ziber withdrew his hand.

Although it is Gu Zhan's family who is now the presiding officer of the house, if it is Mrs. Gu's will, no one will dare to disobey. Feng wanted to say something more, but when he saw Gu Taifu's calm face, he didn't dare to say anything more. As long as her son is safe, what else can she not tolerate?

When he walked into the hall, he saw that everyone was sitting around the table to eat, and then he found a place, looked down and picked up the chopsticks on the table and took a bite, "This meal is really not as good as Baiyunju, another day, I'll treat you, let's go to Baiyunju to taste their bouncing carp." ”

"Get up, where is your place here, let me go to the ancestral hall to think about it behind closed doors, you can only eat two meals a day, a steamed bun and a bowl of water, and he is not allowed to eat anything else." Gu Taifu said angrily.

Gu Qingyue just wanted to say something, Feng Shi stopped his behavior with his eyes, fortunately, he only thought about it behind closed doors in the family ancestral hall, it seems that Gu Taifu still cares about his son very much.

It's just that in the past, Mrs. Gu would estimate that Gu Qingyue was his only son, but now, this Gu Zhan's family has just become pregnant, if this is a son, then everything in the Gu family is not Gu Qingyue alone.

Since Gu Zhan's pregnancy, many things in the house are naturally impossible to take care of. Therefore, the person responsible for presiding over the Fuzhong Zhongfeng has become a topic of controversy.

Originally, Mrs. Gu wanted to let Mrs. Gu take over the management first, and the old lady was in charge of the affairs of the house when she was young, and now she is handy, but Mrs. Gu is reluctant to interfere. The Qin family in the second room saw that this was a good opportunity, so they went to Fuxi Hall to pester Old Madam Gu, hoping to hand over the matter of being in charge of the mansion to her.

Anyway, she is also a serious lady, and her husband is a five-grade official of the imperial court, so she is much stronger than the Fang family in the third room.

The Fang family in the third room is just the daughter of an imperial merchant, no matter how rich the family is, it can't improve her status as the daughter of a businessman, but when the Qin family laughed at the Fang family's identity, she didn't think at all that her identity was actually not much higher than the Fang family.

"Auntie, now that my sister-in-law is pregnant, the things in the house are so complicated, and the sister-in-law needs to rest a lot, so I will leave the matter of being in charge of the middle feed of the house." Qin said softly while beating Old Madam Gu's back.

"The matter of the feed in this house is particularly important, the people who do things must be fair and just, otherwise there will be a dislike in this house, you have never been in charge of the affairs of the house, and you are too arrogant to your children on weekdays, if you hand over the things of the house to you, it will not be a mess." Old Madam Gu said lightly.

Hearing this, the Qin family was dissatisfied, in the final analysis, Old Madam Gu just didn't look down on her, otherwise why didn't she marry Gu Mingxuan in the first place, but married Gu Mingyang.

"So does the old lady want the Fang Clan to be in charge?"

"Fang's soft temperament, when she encounters difficulties, I'm afraid that she will mess up herself, and she is not a suitable person." Old Madam Gu smiled lightly.

"Old lady, you don't want Feng to take care of it, do you? Her son has been causing trouble all day long, and if he hands over the middle feed in the mansion to him, I am afraid that the entire Gu Mansion will be defeated. The Qin clan said hurriedly.

"Okay, don't ask, I already have a plan, tomorrow at lunch, I will naturally say who I have in mind." Old Madam Gu said lightly.

Seeing that he couldn't get any benefits, the Qin family also found an excuse to leave Fuxi Hall, and after seeing the Qin family leave, Mama Tian served a cup of plum tea to Old Madam Gu, "Old Madam, it seems that the second lady is a little anxious." ”

"Well, yes, it's a pity, she's not a person who can achieve great things, it's all spoiled by her parents." Old Madam Gu smiled lightly.

"What the old lady said is that the slave maid thinks that the old lady must be thinking of finding someone who has an identity and has the ability to suppress the affairs in the house, and more importantly, the things in the house can be completely and easily handed back to the hands of the eldest lady." Mama Tian said with a smile.

"That's why you know my mind." Old Madam Gu said with a smile.

Mama Tian has been serving by Mrs. Gu's side since she was a child, so she naturally knows Mrs. Gu's mind very well, but the only thing she worries about is whether the person chosen by Mrs. Gu can carry this burden.

The next day, at lunchtime, the people in the Gu family sat down to eat together, and after taking the maids to prepare the meals, Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "Now that the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, some complicated things in this house naturally can't let her continue to work, the old body thought about it for a few days, and decided to hand over the complicated things in the house to Yunxin girl to take care of." ”

Suddenly hearing Old Madam Gu mention letting her take care of the affairs of the mansion, Gu Yunxin was not surprised, and only by letting herself take over the affairs of the mansion could she effectively protect everything in the Gu family.

The Qin family and the Feng family are both moths in the house, if one of them is allowed to take care of the affairs of the house, they don't know what it will be like when the time comes, and she is the eldest lady, and now she is in charge of the affairs of the house, and she can also prepare for taking care of the affairs of the family after getting married in the future.

In fact, such a situation exists in every big family, and they will let the young lady of the house learn the affairs of the house before she gets married.

"Old lady, the eldest lady is a young child, how can she understand these things, since you are afraid of the hard work of the sister-in-law, why don't you let me share some of it, if there is something that you can't decide, how about the sister-in-law decide?" Qin said expectantly.

If you want to take over all the power in the mansion at once, Old Madam Gu will definitely not agree, but if you only share part of the rights, it shouldn't be a problem.

"Second family, since you want to help, let's see how Yunxin arranges it for you." Old Madam Gu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Gu Yunxin was slightly stunned, and immediately put a smile on his face, "Grandmother, Yunxin will definitely take care of the affairs of the house wholeheartedly, if there is anything you don't understand, you have to ask your grandmother for more guidance." Yun Xin smiled lightly.

"Okay, well, the old body is waiting for you to come and bother me, but this consultation is not for nothing."

"That Yunxin went to make hibiscus cake every day, how about asking grandmother to taste it?"

"Okay, but you can't always eat hibiscus cake, but I've heard that you've been working on making other foods lately."

"Hehe, I really can't hide anything from my grandmother, recently Yunxin has made some flower cakes, the taste is still improving, and when it is delicious, I will send it to my grandmother to taste." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.

Everyone looked at the intimacy between the ancestors and grandchildren, and the Qin family's hateful teeth itched, they really couldn't understand why this old woman loved Gu Yunxin so much, she thought it was because of her future status as the princess, but now that the marriage contract has been canceled, the noble status of the princess in this world is gone, why do you still love her?
