Chapter 237: Separation?
Hearing the second lady's tone, Gu Jiu had some understanding in his heart, and asked with a smile on his face: "What did the second aunt say, you are the elder in the family, why do you still have to discuss with one of my juniors?" ”
Hearing this, the second lady smiled bitterly, pointed outside, and said, "Look at the black miasma in this mansion now, where is there any distinction between the noble and the low?" ”
If this is an ordinary time, the second lady would not be able to say it. But these days, seeing the house in a mess, the resentment in her heart has gradually been stimulated.
Hearing the resentment in her words, Gu Jiuyin smiled a little and asked with concern, "What does the second aunt mean by this?" ”
Gu Jiu didn't know that there was chaos in the house, since Old Madam Qin was sick, the second and third rooms were fighting for power and profit, and it was a lot of trouble. But this matter has nothing to do with the big house, she is not rare with power and money, she is only willing to end up clean. Moreover, she tore her face with Old Madam Qin, and she didn't go to serve the sick, because she didn't know much about the things in the house.
Seeing the second lady say this at this time, Gu Jiu had some guesses in his heart, could it be that this was making more trouble?
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard the second lady sigh, frowned, and said: "Ah Jiu, let me be honest with you, I came to you today, I have a big matter I want to discuss with you, but I don't know what you mean - I want to split up." ”
As soon as the last four words came out, Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Split up?" ”
This is tantamount to a thunderbolt, she really didn't expect the second lady to say this.
The second lady originally asked Gu Jiu to come over to discuss the matter, and she hoped that Dafang would stand on the same front as herself. When I said it at this time, I felt a lot happier in my heart, and the words I had held back before were also said one by one: "Not bad." I won't tell you the truth, you haven't been in the house these days, and I probably don't know what the mess has become in our house. Outsiders look at our Mingguo Mansion, and always feel that this huge family business, no matter how chaotic it is, what can it be? That's what I thought before. ”
When she said this, she took a deep breath and suppressed the anger before continuing: "But this time my mother-in-law fell ill, and I knew that there was only an empty shell left in our house!" ”
In the past few years, it has always been Mrs. Qin and Fang Qing who have always held the power of the family, and the second and third rooms are good to say that they are assistant housekeepers, but in fact, they can't touch the central power at all.
This time, Mrs. Qin was sick, Fang Qing was abandoned, and the second and third rooms were all shown in order to snatch power, but who knew that when they really snatched the power in their hands, they were dumbfounded.
Old Madam Qin was in collusion with Fang Qingxin, and had already corroded the Qin family into an empty shelf, and as for the silver money, it was all filled by the two of them.
"In the past, there was no problem with the daily expenses of the family, but do you know, in order to save Fang Qing, your father-in-law actually withdrew 100,000 taels of silver from the public account, and now, we don't even have enough monthly expenses for our subordinates!"
The second lady was so angry when she thought of this that she almost wanted to explode, and now she didn't say that if they went to fish in troubled waters to get silver, they would have to pay for the accounts!
If this is really because of something else, she can still understand it, but when she thinks that the money is for a concubine, or a concubine who poisoned the main mother, the second lady can't help but scold.
However, her tutor since she was a child didn't allow her to do this, and a large group of subordinates came to her to solve it, and she couldn't really ignore it.
The third lady really doesn't care.
When the three ladies were fighting for power before, they were very active, but after discovering the deficit in the account, she didn't do it.
What else do you say - "Our lord is a concubine, and he is not decent at home, and I am a clumsy person who doesn't care about things." The eldest brother and the second brother are sisters-in-law, and according to the rules, those who can do it should work harder. ”
Fart!
Wasn't it time for her to speak well?
The second lady was so angry that she could barely eat, and asked the old lady Qin to ask the old lady after all, the old lady has some private room in her hands, but it is one thing to have it, and it is another thing to be unwilling to take it out.
Now the old lady is sick, but her brain is not confused, but she gave her the key to the house, wanting her to take over the mess.
But why?
Don't look for yourself when it's profitable, and now the maintenance of the family has become a problem, but think of her?
Therefore, the second lady remembered Gu Jiu.
She can see that Qin Zhao is a fool now, but Qin Zheng is the backer she can rely on in the future!
Because of the Lin family's affairs, Qin Zheng and his wife are not in harmony with the family, if they can win over the two of them and divide this family, the second room will be beneficial and harmless in the future.
"Ah Jiu, what I mean now is to divide the family, and the three families will live their own lives, except for those moths, and the life can be lighter. I just don't know, what do you think? ”
When she said this, the second lady's face was full of inquiring smiles.
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and said with a faint smile: "Second aunt, it's not that I refute your face, it's just that I, as a junior, really can't get involved in family affairs." You know, I've only been married for less than three months, and I'm still a bride, and my mother-in-law has been poisoned, so how can I manage this? ”
When she said this, she paused and said: "But I also know that you are wronged in your heart, and this idea is not too much, you just have to discuss it with the second uncle, how are the elders, we are also listening to the younger generations, do you say this is the reason?" ”
Gu Jiu naturally knew what the second room wanted to do, but it was because the current Ming Guo Mansion would do more harm than good to the second room, so he wanted to split up and get rid of a burden.
If it was the earlier Ming State Mansion, it could be said to be a big tree, and the second room was good under the tree.
But these successive things are all from the big house, and now Qin Zhao has a bad reputation outside, and the old lady Qin is miserable at home, and the second room is unbearable, and if she wants to get rid of this burden, it is understandable.
It's just that they shouldn't be involved, and Gu Jiu is not stupid, so she doesn't plan to get involved.
Her words were smooth, but she also left room for relaxation, which made the second lady's expression not so ugly.
She pondered for a while, and then said, "Then what do you mean, do you think it's feasible?" ”
For her words, Gu Jiu only smiled and did not move: "What the elders mean, I am not greedy, second aunt, don't embarrass me, I just married in not long ago." ”
Gu Jiu only insisted on this sentence, but he didn't show any malice, which was already a hope for the second lady.
She sighed in her heart that this bride was very shrewd, and said with a soft smile on her face: "That's right, the second aunt thought badly before, which is indeed a little difficult for you." ”
When the second lady said this, she paused and said, "However, even if the family is separated, it is because the family is in a miasma. The purpose of separating the family is to clean up the moth and reduce unnecessary expenses, but it is not for our relatives to be separated. Zheng'er was watched by me since I was a child, and you husband and wife can't be estranged from the second aunt in the future, otherwise the second aunt is afraid that she will be uncomfortable every day. ”
When she said this, the second lady behaved very intimately, and Gu Jiu naturally responded with a smile: "Where did the second aunt say this, you are an elder, and I will naturally treat you with respect." ”
To put it bluntly, I just think that in the big room, Qin Zheng is useful.
Gu Jiu knew it, but the second lady didn't treat her badly, so Gu Jiu didn't mind maintaining peace on this face.
After Gu Jiu's words, the second lady curled her lips and smiled, and said, "Good boy, the second aunt knows that she is not wrong about you." ”
As soon as she said this, she could hear someone reply through the curtain: "Madam, the young master is here." ”
When the second lady heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Quickly invite someone in." ”
As her words fell, she saw the Ninth Young Master Qin Xuan walking in with sleepy eyes, and plunged into the arms of the second lady in a daze, muttering, "Say hello to my mother." ”
He seemed to have just woken up, and he was a little sleepy at this moment, and even the salute was extraordinarily perfunctory.
When the second lady saw him like this, she immediately smiled helplessly: "This kid, why is he so unruly?" Don't give your sister-in-law a gift? ”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan raised his head, first rubbed his eyes, and after seeing Gu Jiu smiling and chanting in front of him, he immediately asked for peace obediently: "Hello to my sister-in-law." ”
