Chapter 468: Sick
"How can I not be in a hurry, I listened to what Mrs. Gu said, I was obviously in a hurry to show General Gu, speaking of which, it is really unfavorable for the passing years, General Gu can obviously sit back and enjoy the blessings of Qi people, but Qiao Yixi said that it was gone, and the county lord of Nishang ended up like that."
"Grandma Zhang San, if you can't speak, no one will ask you to speak." Feng's words are serious.
If it was someone else, I would have been at a loss, but this Ren Xiaoyue is a strange person, and her skin is unimaginably thick.
Covering her mouth, Ren Xiaoyue said contrivedly: "Mrs. Gu, I also ask more, why do you have to do this, we all care about General Gu, after all, just like you said, General Gu is a first-class general of the dynasty at a young age, young and promising, and there are many people who admire him, but General Gu ......"
He sighed again and again, "Look at the people around General Gu, either missing or having an accident, I see, eighty percent of them are incompatible, so ah, Mrs. Gu, you must be accurate this time, if you miss someone's woman, it will be a big matter if you hurt General Gu's military." Hey, I said, Mrs. Gu had better go and worship the Bodhisattva, I see, most of the time it was because the Dingguo Marquis Mansion did not burn high incense this year, so everything went wrong. Originally, I thought that General Gu would marry the lord of Nishang County, and the Dingguo Marquis Mansion could also rise with the tide, who would have thought that ......"
"Grandma Zhang San said cautiously, it is better to say less about the matter of the county lord of Nishang." Finally, someone reminded me "kindly".
Ren Xiaoyue covered her mouth consciously and cast a grateful smile, "Yes, I'm used to it, don't mind." ”
Mind?
How would anyone mind?
Everyone wished that Ren Xiaoyue would be as unobtrusive as possible.
Those things that they didn't dare to say, but they wanted to say, Feng Clan's face must have been very wonderful when they heard it!
It's just that the Feng family has been in the circle for more than 20 years and knows it well.
smiled slightly, "Today is our Dingguo Marquis Mansion to hold an autumn banquet, not to give a chance for Grandma Zhang San to mock our Dingguo Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Ben doesn't know where she offended Zhang San, Zhang San Grandma is so unrelenting." ”
"No, I ......"
"If Grandma Zhang San has any dissatisfaction with our Dingguo Marquis Mansion, please ask Mrs. Zhang to say it, why should Grandma Zhang San be aggressive."
Feng's power is still extraordinary.
Ren Xiaoyue smiled and pursed her lips, but finally didn't dare to speak again.
Although her mother-in-law loves her father-in-law, she really wants to break up with the Dingguo Marquis Mansion in the name of General Weiyuan, and her mother-in-law is the first to spare her!
After seeing enough of the excitement, everyone finally paid attention to the autumn banquet.
I have to say that in terms of housekeeping, the Feng family is really powerful.
I originally thought that this year's autumn banquet in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion was shabby and embarrassing, but I didn't expect it to be impressive.
After a day of hard work, the Feng family returned to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion tiredly.
As soon as I entered the second courtyard, I saw the steward waiting by the door.
"Something?" Feng raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Mrs. Hui, today the Hou Ye has paid five hundred taels of silver in the account room."
Feng frowned.
If it was in the past, she wouldn't care about the marquis of Dingguo's use of silver.
Shen Yuan has so many dowry shops and Zhuangzi, which is enough for them to live luxuriously.
But this is not the same as it used to be.
They owed a lot of money to Changfang, not to mention, even the few shops she bought later did not do well.
Therefore, the Marquis of Dingguo withdrew such a "large" sum of silver at once, which made it even more difficult for the Hou Mansion in the next few months.
"What else?" Seeing that the steward wanted to speak and stopped, Feng asked sharply.
"Mrs. Hui, there were a few shops that sent people to settle the bill."
"Checkout? What to settle the bill? ”
"Mrs. Hui, it's Aunt Ruan's account of buying things today."
"Buying something? What did she buy? ”
The steward didn't dare to say much, and directly gave the Feng family a list.
Feng took it, glanced at it, and immediately smiled.
All of them are the most high-end shops in the capital, and the things on them, from ordinary needlework to extravagant gold jewelry, vary in price, but they are all Aunt Ruan's words.
"Madam, this ......" is also very difficult for the steward.
The rivalry between the masters is jealous, and it is they who suffer.
"How much?"
"Two hundred taels in total."
Two hundred taels, really not much.
When the Feng family had silver in her hand, she couldn't look down on this bit of silver at all.
Now, Dingguo Hou is used on other women......
Feng laughed mockingly.
"Let the account room withdraw silver, and also, the monthly case for Aunt Ruan, an extra five taels of silver per month."
"Ma'am?"
Feng smiled even brighter, and waved his hand disappretently, "Let's go down first." ”
The steward was apprehensive, and couldn't help but glance at Feng Shi more, and made sure that what she said was not a backword, not an angry word, so he retreated in confusion.
"Ma'am?" The eldest grandmother asked cautiously.
Feng opened his mouth, but he asked about the body of the Marquis of Dingguo, "The decoction from the Hou Ye's side, can it be delivered today?" ”
The eldest grandmother's eyes tightened.
I don't know what this Dingguo Marquis thinks.
At this age, what do you still toss, and you don't care if your body can eat or not.
The previous child was in Aunt Ruan's bed, and she almost couldn't get out.
Later, the Feng family invited the government doctor to come and drank two pairs of medicines, and the Marquis of Dingguo was relieved.
Since then, instead of reining in, Dingguohou has intensified, as if to prove something, tossing Aunt Ruan every night, and the tonic soup sent by the Feng family has also changed from one serving a day to two servings in the morning and evening.
That Aunt Ruan is also a cheap hoof!
What shame can a woman who comes out of Fengyue Field have?
In addition to tossing in bed vigorously, what else is there to do?
Retracting her sloppy thoughts, the eldest grandmother said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, Master Hou's decoction has been sent." ”
"That's good," Feng nodded reassuringly, "Everything is based on Master Hou's body." ”
In the early winter of the capital, light snow fell sporadically, and the originally noisy court gradually calmed down because of the depression of the climate.
Although there are still three months to go before the New Year, everything that should be prepared is ready, and even Gu Jinzhen, who has not moved around for a long time, took the initiative to let people deliver the news back.
A piece of news that made the Feng family angry - pay back the money!
The Hou Mansion has long been unable to make ends meet.
A few shops under the name of the Feng family can barely make ends meet, but it is not enough to maintain the additional luxury expenses of the Hou Mansion, so the Feng family has to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and use various means to ensure the expenses of the Hou Ye and his two sons outside.
What made her most gratified was that her two sons knew about the situation in the Hou Mansion, so whether it was socializing outside or their own extra expenses, they were half less than usual. On the contrary, it was the Marquis of Dingguo, instead of understanding her good intentions, he intensified his efforts, and spent a lot of money for no reason.
Feng knew in his heart that more than half of these expenses were spent on Aunt Ruan.
Looking at the freshly dyed nails, Feng's well-maintained hands flipped back and forth twice in front of his eyes.
"Let the bookkeeper get all the money."
"But Madame, the account office ......"
Even if the account room is emptied, there is not enough silver.
"I sold two shops in the former Er's Dental Shop, and there should be news in the next few days, and when the time comes, we will send them to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion together."
"Madame, the servant has the audacity to say something that should not be said," said the steward, "and the shops in Madame's name have been sold like this, and the silver will be returned this year, but what about next year?" This is not a long way. ”
"You're faithful." Feng Shi came to a sentence inexplicably.
The steward hurriedly buried his head, "Madam, the slave has no other meaning, the slave is just worthless for the lady." Those shops, Mrs. spent a lot of effort to prepare, painstakingly operated for so long, the money earned was spent on the Hou Mansion, now, the Hou Mansion is in difficulty, Mrs. has to use her own shop for silver to make up, in the end, Mrs. has nothing...... The slave is not worth it for the lady. ”
"It's not worth it," Feng said faintly, "I am the master mother of the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion is like this now, I am also responsible, who let me not have that ability, so that the Hou Mansion does not worry about money?" ”
"Madam, what you said is bad, the servant said something disrespectful, if there is no Madame's management, the Hou Mansion still doesn't know what the situation is? Uncle only thinks that we took advantage of him and swallowed his silver, but why didn't he think about it carefully, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing in southern Xinjiang, and the Hou Mansion sent some good things over from time to time, aren't these all silver? Aren't they the result of Mrs.'s business? ”
Feng smiled, "Now talk about these ......"
Did it work?
It's just a temporary hibernation, and whoever has the last laugh may not be the same!
Gu Jinzhen received the silver ticket from the Dingguo Hou Mansion as scheduled, and the news that the Dingguo Hou had a stroke came with him.
It stands to reason that the Marquis of Dingguo is in the prime of life, although he is not as burly as a general, his body is not weak, and he does not have the fat and bloat of a middle-aged man, nor the thinness of a young man. The ancestor can enter the family and inherit the title of Marquis of Dingguo, which shows that the appearance is still online, and there are still many people in the circle.
Before, his "sole favor" of the Feng family made many ladies and ladies in the circle envious of their teeth.
Later, Aunt Ruan finally came, and before everyone had seen enough of the jokes, Dingguo Hou tossed himself into a stroke!
As the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingguo, Gu Jinzhen should go back to see it anyway.
And Gu Jinzhen did return to the Hou Mansion.
The Marquis of Dingguo lay on the bed with his eyes crooked, holding back his anger but unable to vent his grievances, which made his face flushed and irritable.
When I saw Gu Jinzhen at first glance, I couldn't care about the drooling at the corners of my mouth, and I made a gesture to sit up.
The long entourage who was waiting beside him was busy supporting the Marquis of Dingguo, and barely sat up half of his body.
Feng wiped his tears on the side, "Hou Ye still misses you, you see, as soon as you come back, Hou Ye's spirit is a little better." A few days ago, I rested in Aunt Ruan's yard, and after waking up, it was like this. The doctor said that it was caused by external evils. But Aunt Ruan said that because the weather was getting colder, the doors and windows were closed at night, and I don't know where this wind evil came from. After drinking a few pairs of medicines, the effect was not obvious, and Brother Xuan also said, when you come back, I will discuss it with you to see if it is a different doctor and try other medicines. ”
"If the doctor can't cure it, who else can cure it?"
Gu Jinzhen's words that didn't concern him made Dingguo Marquis very angry, and his throat was like a bellows, roaring.
