92, rectify the inner courtyard and bring out the inside situation

After Gu Nian took charge of the family, he was not in a hurry to establish rules from the beginning, but those who had old rules followed the old rules, and the people who had contacts also followed the past, and if they couldn't make up their minds, they would go to Rong'an Hall to ask the old lady's opinion.

Thinking of the head of the family, it is not only the interests of the concubine that is harmed, but also the interests of several housekeepers and grandmothers under her.

Just a kitchen errand, I don't know how much oil and water I can catch all year round.

Gu Nian understands that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and if those grandmothers can be restrained, everyone's life will still be the same.

The people in her other courtyards can ignore it, but the people in Suiyuantang can't care.

Ever since she had Mama Huang, those people have been honest.

At the beginning, Dark One once gave Gu Nian a booklet, which recorded the information of those people who were transferred by Concubine Ji at the beginning. A clear record of whose relatives are in which room.

There are nearly twenty people, large and small, and none of them are simply innocent.

She knew that Concubine Ji would definitely send someone over, but she didn't expect that the other two rooms would also reach in.

Astragalus looked at the piece of paper and smacked his tongue, "These people have to be sent out, but it's a little difficult."

Gu Nian was different, she laughed lightly, "That can't be easier, just say that something was lost in the house, and let Mama Qin take someone to search the house where they live later." ”

"I'm sure it's going to be a copy and a copy. They will definitely be able to find out what they can't afford to use, and when the time comes, send someone to ask them where these finances come from, and if they let go, you will send them to the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of us. ”

She paused, "If you bite and don't let go, you don't have to be polite, call someone over, don't want the money, just take the person away." ”

The person Gu Nian who was transferred by Concubine Ji will not stay, there are only her and Xiao Yue in Suiyuan Hall, where is there so many people waiting?

There was Xiao Yue's entourage outside, there was astragalus in the room, and Ah Jing's vacancy, she didn't mention her dowry maid to come up, but asked Xiao Yue to pick a maid who could come in and serve.

After agreeing, early in the morning of the second day, after Xiao Yue went out, Gu Nian gathered the people in the yard one by one, and the things that were searched from their materials were piled up.

In the name of the loss of things, so many unknown properties were found, although it was expected, but the huge amount of money still shocked her.

The private property of these maids and wives is no less than anyone else.

A few older mothers-in-law like Mama Huang have money on hand, but even the third-class sprinkler sweeper girl who sweeps the floor in the yard can afford to use good rouge gouache, which makes Gu Nian cry and laugh.

With these obvious evidence in hand, it is so easy to take care of them and send them all away.

She stood under the porch and looked at the maid and woman kneeling in the courtyard, "Although you have not served in Suiyuan Hall for a long time, in the end, the master and servant are a master, and there is no love and fate,"

"Now, I give you a chance, if anyone can explain clearly where these things came from, I will not send her to the yamen, and her things will not be confiscated, but I will still return her."

"However, I can't stay here, so let's go elsewhere and find another job."

She deliberately added, "You have to think about it, if you go to the government, you will be the ...... of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China without asking the reason."

Among the maids kneeling below, there were some young women, and when they came in, their faces turned pale, and they begged Gu Nian not to send them to the yamen.

But those who are older, the children of the family rely on the time to wait in the house, or the family members are in charge of important positions, thinking that the backers behind them can protect themselves.

Or they are convinced in their hearts that the princess is just a big thunder and a small raindrop, and they want to use this to establish their authority in the palace, and these people don't take it seriously.

"The princess laughed, the slaves and maids have been in the palace for so many years, and the masters are merciful, so they have saved such a little thing, thanks to the concubines, the ladies are generous, and the master's reward, the slaves and maids can't shirk it."

"Besides, the slaves and maids are transferred from the courtyard of the concubine, as the saying goes, if you don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, you have to look at the master to beat the dog, the princess wants to send the slaves and maids to the official mansion, do you want to ask the concubine what she means first?"

This is another housekeeper who was transferred by the concubine at the beginning, she held her head high and questioned Gu Nian.

Gu Nian didn't laugh angrily, she didn't pray at all with disobedience and provocative words, she didn't care and said to Mama Qin,

"Mama, you are tired, take this to the concubine to ask if the huge amount of money on her body is rewarded by her old man, if so, then it is my temporary mistake and disrespect to her people, if it is not ......"

She sneered, "If not, please ask the concubine for me to give a show, how to deal with such a disloyal and disobedient slave who bites the master!" ”

When the grandmother saw that she brought out the name of the concubine, Gu Nian really didn't dare to send her down again, she was disdainful, she looked very powerful, but she was just a paper tiger.

She followed the old concubine from the Ji Mansion to marry, for so many years, there is no credit and hard work, if the concubine does not save her when she sees death, she will be pushed out, then who will dare to help the concubine do things in the future?

Besides, her man is the steward of the outer court, and he helps the concubine to sit on things, as long as the concubine can use her husband and wife for a day, she will not watch the princess punish her and not stretch out her hand.

The grandmother thought like this, and felt that Suiyuantang would not be able to stay in the future, although she was missing a salary, she didn't feel a pity, she made eyeliner for the concubine here, and she could make a windfall, but she had no power in the end.

The people around the princess are all married from the eldest princess, so they will not use themselves.

The grandmother also simply, without waiting for Gu Nian to speak, she got up and dusted off her knees, but she didn't kneel, by the way, she picked out her things from it, pocketed it with her clothes, and said to Mama Qin,

"Please, I'll show you the way?"

Gu Nian was dumbfounded, and he couldn't laugh or cry a little, it was really a big forest, there were all kinds of birds, they were arguing in the main courtyard and were covered tightly, the next person didn't know, if this grandmother knew, I don't know if it would be so arrogant?

She looked at the grandmother with pity, and turned her head to the people below, "If you have such a grandmother's ability, you can make the masters of the mansion protect you regardless of your face, then the princess will respectfully let people send you back." ”

When the mother-in-law and maids in the yard saw the grandmother's behavior, a few of them were moved and wanted to follow suit.

But before he got up, he listened to Gu Niandao, "Forget it, no matter what, you can't keep you in the palace, but I don't want to be that wicked person, if anyone is willing to tell me the truth, then come into the house and come to me, and when you leave, the money will still belong to you." ”

In the main courtyard, Concubine Ji's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, first Mama Huang was beaten on the board, her face was lost, and even the right to be a housekeeper was lost, and now the Gu family is coming out again.

Sure enough, Xiao Yue is an obstacle, and his wife is also an obstacle!

But at this point, she had no other choice, the old lady was watching like a sitting Buddha, and she definitely couldn't admit that it was her own reward.

Otherwise, wouldn't you admit that you want to put eyeliner in Suiyuantang?

If she is a loving mother to Xiao Yue, then she can barely say it, but everyone in the house knows that she and Xiao Yue are not compatible, if it is good for Xiao Yue, why spend a lot of money?

She also has to find a good family for Yu'er, she can't leave her tongue and make the old lady completely disappointed in her.

Concubine Ji looked at the grandmother standing in front of her with fierce eyes, and shouted, "Kneel, it's just nonsense, you are my dowry, when I send you to the prince's courtyard, let you wait for the prince, the princess, listen to their dispatch." ”

"Do I have something that I won't leave for the princess? Reward you lowly slaves and maidservants? No matter how bad it is, Yu'er is by my side, I can't have time to hurt, how can I give you these valuable things? ”

She sneered, "You, stealing the master's finances, and trying to bite the master, Mama Tian, come, drag this disloyal and disobedient out to play twenty boards, if your life is still there, sell it to me far away, and make it clear to Ya Po that you are not allowed to find her easy work to do." ”

"By the way, give a punishment to the other subordinates in the house, the master is not something they can climb and bite."

After Mama Tian took the person down, she smiled at Mama Qin and said, "Please also go back and tell the princess, the concubine is also not angry here, and she has already sent out that cheap maid." ”

"The concubine didn't expect her to do bad things with good intentions, but she didn't have a maid in Suiyuan Hall at the beginning, and she was afraid that the eldest princess would think that the palace was slow to treat the princess, so she would send people over."

She sighed softly, "Hey, a mother's heart has been ruined by these minions. ”

Concubine Ji also pretended to press the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Who knows the bitterness in my heart." ”

Mama Qin has always been waiting by the eldest princess's side in the past, and when she saw Concubine Ji's behavior, it was clear that she was knocking out her teeth and swallowing blood, and she was happy, but after all, she was a grandmother who had accumulated years, and she respectfully saluted the concubine before retiring.

When Mama Qin left, Concubine Ji smashed the things in the house again, looked fierce, and said to Mama Tian, "Okay, it actually rode on my head." This still makes people not live. “

Mama Tian comforted her and said, "The man who was in charge of the mother-in-law just now was also in charge, and he used to help us with things, but this time his mother-in-law had such a thing, and the slave was afraid of him......"

Concubine Ji sat on the chair dignified and smiled, "Aren't a few maids in the courtyard already old enough to be released?" Find a good color, reward him as a lady, and treat it as if I paid him, and then give him silver as a congratulatory gift in private. ”

She suddenly thought of something, and her face showed mockery, "All the men in the world are looking up, and if they have a new daughter-in-law with a good color, who can think of the old man?" ”

At the beginning, King Jin also fought with the old concubine for her, but later, there was no aunt around him, so he really thought that his aunt was so easy to do?

She let her die a dishonorable death!

There were only three or four people kneeling in Suiyuan Hall at the moment, and the rest couldn't stay up and explain to Gu Nian the origin of their finances, get their things back, or be sent to the Zhuangzi where Gu Nian was married, or redeem themselves and leave the house.

When Mama Qin came back from the main courtyard and brought back Concubine Ji's disposal method, the last few people immediately rushed to Gu Nian's house and recruited whatever they wanted.

When there was only one person left, Gu Nian didn't raise his head, and said, "Did I ask, or did you say." ”

The half-ringing man did not answer.

Gu Nian looked up in surprise, and the last thing left was a rough envoy woman, wearing not very bright clothes.

Huang Qi stepped forward and said in Gu Nian's ear, "She is Mama Zheng, and others call her a dumb woman." ”

Gu Nian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Who knew that Mama Zheng actually spoke, although her voice was rough and ugly, like a grinding wheel rolling, Gu Nian heard what she said clearly. "I didn't take bribes."

Gu Nian looked at the astragalus, and the astragalus nodded, indicating that all the searched ones had been taken away.

Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little curious, she heard Astragalus say that others called her a dumb woman, and thought she was a mute.

She said, "Since Mama is good, then you will continue to work as an errand in the courtyard......

Mama Zheng interrupted Gu Nian's words, "The slave maid has something else to report......

She spoke slowly, but with an unusually solemn expression.

Gu Nian straightened his body and looked at Mama Zheng.

"They all call me dumb woman, in fact, I used to be able to speak, but then I ......," she paused, and the expression on her face was painfully distorted, as if she was remembering some past that she did not want to think about.

Although Gu Nian didn't know what she was going to say, she glanced at Astragalus, and Astragalus hurriedly helped Mama Zheng to sit down on the chair, and served tea to calm Mama Zheng's mood.

When Mama Zheng raised her head again, she seemed to have made up her mind, "The princess had a seizure of the maid in her cousin's yard some time ago, because she spread rumors about the prince, isn't it?" ”

Gu Nian nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"The slave maid used to be the housekeeper of the main courtyard, but later, because of her bad voice, she was demoted to be a rough mother-in-law, this is the way of the world, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and it is too easy to fall into the well."

Seeing that Gu Nian listened carefully, Mama Zheng smiled, and her voice softened a little, although it was not as rough as at the beginning, it was still like grit owed in the flesh.

"Princess, don't you want to ask me why I have a bad voice?"

"If Mama wants to say it, she will naturally say it, but if Mama doesn't say it, if I ask you, I won't say it." used to be an errand in the courtyard of the concubine, and if he broke his throat, he could still stay in the house, so he must have relied on it.

"The princess is transparent, yes, if I don't want to say it, I will take it to the coffin, and what I want to say today is just to see that the princess is really good to the prince. I don't want you to be deceived any longer. ”

Gu Nian's eyebrows were raised high, and Mama Zheng in front of her had her hair meticulously combed behind her head and coiled into a bun, and although the clothes on her body were not glamorous, they were neat and clean.

Even though the face was full of ravines, it seemed to have this strength, and I saw Mama Zheng with a satisfied smile on her face, "It is his blessing that the prince married the princess." ”

"Back then, the death of that old aunt had nothing to do with the prince, because everything was done by the concubine, and the King of Jin once promised her that she would be the same for the rest of her life, although the old aunt was stuffed in by others, but it entered the eyes of the King of Jin."

Although Mama Zheng said a little incoherently and jumpy, Gu Nian could hear that the 'King of Jin' was Xiao Yue's father, the old King of Jin, who had passed away.

Mama Zheng said as she gritted her teeth, "Concubine, that idiot, that slut, was forced to the Ji family by King Jin back then, forced our master to admit it, and forced our eldest lady to leave the house." ”

"These are not enough, in the end, it also harmed our eldest lady and the prince."

Gu Nian looked at Mama Zheng in amazement, her eyes narrowed slightly, and asked Astragalus to guard the door, and then said slowly, "Who are you?" ”

Mama Zheng straightened up and looked at Gu Nian with a smile, but her eyes were blank, "Who am I?" I am nobody, I am a dead man, a dead man, a dying man. ”

Gu Nian tightened his face and looked at Mama Zheng, "You said that the concubine was stuffed into your house by the King of Jin, and you were so upset with your eldest lady, why did you enter the Jin Palace's mansion instead and serve the concubine you looked down on?" ”

Mama Zheng's face gradually distorted, her eyes flashed with madness, and she slumped on the chair, "King Jin is a slut with eyes and no beads, and those surnamed Xiao are all sluts, and they are sluts with eyes and no beads." That slut was just a brainless fool, forcing the old lady to recognize her righteous daughter and marry her in the name of the eldest lady. ”

"After the eldest girl became a monk, I was not angry, so I followed the cheap maid to the palace, I want to avenge the eldest girl, but I am still waiting for me to find an opportunity! Unexpectedly, that couple is simply a demon!

Mama Zheng cried bitterly, and the voice made people shudder.

"The eldest girl has no way to retreat, and she still does such a thing to her, and the eldest girl is about to collapse at that time, she is a monk. It was the old slave who found the girl who was going to commit suicide and took her away when no one was paying attention......"

Later, she didn't make it,...... The couple of King Jin are simply a pair of sluts and a pair of villains. ”

"Haha, God opened his eyes, before King Jin died, he finally knew what kind of person the concubine was, so he would have that old aunt. It's just that he didn't expect that he would be a wicked person until he died, and the old aunt finally killed the prince. ”

Gu Nian slowly leaned back in the chair, looked at Mama Zheng, and quickly sorted out her thoughts in her heart.

Mama Zheng said that the concubine was not a girl of the Ji family, and the real girl of the Ji family had died not long after she became a monk.

The second is that King Jin finally knew the true face of the concubine.

The most important thing is that the meaning in Mama Zheng's words is that Xiao Yue is not Concubine Ji's child, but the child of the real Miss Ji......

Gu Nian's lips were pursed tightly, staring at Mama Zheng, Mama Zheng suddenly coughed violently for a while, and her head slowly drooped.

"Astragalus, Astragalus, come in......" Gu Nian stepped forward to support Mama Zheng, pinched her chin, and picked the things in her mouth.

When Huang Qi heard Gu Nian's scream, she quickly came in from outside, and when she saw Mama Zheng's appearance, she was also shocked, and hurriedly sealed her acupoint, and said to Gu Nian,

"Princess, quick, feed her the antidote pill that the slave maid gave you."

Astragalus quickly put Mama Zheng flat on the ground, and then went to Gu Nian's dresser to find a small package, and opened it to see a row of silver needles.

Gu Nian first fed Mama Zheng a detoxification pill, although Astragalus had just clicked on her acupoints to prevent the poison from spreading to her whole body, and administered needles to Mama Zheng.

"What poison is in her?" Gu Nian asked.

Astragalus shook her head, "The slave doesn't know now, but it doesn't look very powerful, take the antidote pill, wait for the slave to give her another injection, and then she can get better by taking two pills." ”

Mama Qin was outside, and when she heard Gu Nian's screams inside, it was Astragalus who rushed in, and suddenly thought that something was wrong, and also came in from outside.

Seeing Mama Zheng fall to the ground, Gu Nian and Astragalus were all around the side.

"What's going on? Why did the dumb woman fall here? She hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously.

Gu Nian sat on the ground and did not answer Mama Qin.

Mama Qin heard Astragalus say that Mama Zheng was taking poison, and immediately exclaimed, "Princess, the house still has to be rectified, this is also too terrible, fortunately she is eating for herself, if you and the prince meet, what can I do?" ”

At noon, Gu Nian asked Mama Qin to send someone to send Mama Zheng to the village that the emperor had given her in the suburbs, and take care of her alone, to prevent Mama Zheng from seeking death again, and when she got better, she would go to see her again.

She carefully instructed Mama Qin, pursed her lips, and said to Astragalus,

"You go, carefully clear all the subordinates in Suiyuan Hall and the old lady's Rong'an Hall, but anyone who has anything to do with Concubine Ji will be cleared out, I want to ask."

Huang Qi agreed heavily, Gu Nian had a calm face, and when she was about to walk out, she whispered, "Mama Zheng's words, don't tell the prince first, you should not know." ”

Huang Qi responded, Gu Nian squinted, and said, "You should know the seriousness of the matter, I don't want the prince to know about this matter when he is ambiguous, which will only increase his troubles." ”

"In the past, you told him about the things around me, but if you let me know that you told the prince, then you should leave me as soon as possible."

"Although I and the prince are one, you should know how much this matter will deal a blow to the prince."

Huang Qi solemnly saluted, "The slave and maid understand, the slave and maid swear to the heavens, and they will not tell the prince about this, otherwise I will be thundered in the sky." Come to a sticky end. “

Gu Nian's face softened and asked her to go out to do something.

Originally, Gu Nian was enthusiastic to renovate the inner courtyard, but she didn't expect to find out such a big news, the key is that Mama Zheng is still in a coma, and she can't ask more words.

In this depression, a marriage decree finally lifted her spirits, and at the same time, the entire court also shook because of this holy decree.

Zhang Ying, the daughter of the eldest princess of Taining, was elected as the fifth princess.

Gu Nian's face was full of disbelief, and she asked Xiao Yue, "Why did the emperor give Zhang Ying a marriage to the fifth prince?" ”

She was puzzled by the emperor's sudden marriage, and Zhang Ying's secret promise to Zhou Yuxuan, the whole capital knew that since Zhou Yuxuan's euphemistic hint that she didn't want to marry, Zhang Ying's whole person was ruined and discouraged.

The will of the marriage was not revealed at all, but Gu Nian believed that Xiao Yue should know something.

She wouldn't ask about things that were too private, Xiao Yue should have told her such things.

Xiao Yue touched Gu Nian's head, "Probably because the eldest princess of Taining thinks that the fifth prince is full of natural qualities and is very outstanding among the princes." ”

Gu Nian was a little incredulous and said, "Then how could the British Duke agree?" ”

(There will be an update after 1 o'clock)
