Next, Gu Siyan told Jiang Xuehe about the situation of their Gu family.

Jiang Xuehe had long heard that the Gu family's situation was complicated, but she didn't expect the Gu family to be so complicated.

This Gu family was originally a big family, but the family moved to Hejia Village in the middle of the road, Gu Siyan's biological mother Bai Shi has been married for three years and has no children, and his father Gu Jiaxing bought a good slave girl Qiao as a concubine.

Qiao's family is really good to give birth to, and gave birth to four sons in one breath in less than a year after buying, so happy that Gu Jiaxing almost couldn't find the north, so he named the four sons southeast, south, northwest, and later gave birth to two daughters, named Dandan and Shuangshuang.

Gu Jiaxing was afraid that the Bai family would be unhappy because of this, so he expanded a west courtyard and let Qiao's mother and son live in it, and usually don't disturb the Bai family, while Gu Jiaxing lived in the east courtyard with the Bai family.

Bai Shi was not in good health, but he held on to his breath, and after giving birth to Gu Siyan, he gave birth to Gu Sixing and Gu Sixian, a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, but he died before the child grew up.

Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "The names of the three of you brothers and sisters are very different from the other six. ”

"My father, who has never lived a sober life in this life." Gu Siyan shook his head and said, "Even though his family is in the middle of the road, he still feels that he is a young master of a family, and he cares a lot about the difference between his concubines and concubines. Therefore, he took several names from the West Courtyard casually, and the East Courtyard was more particular, and the names of my sixth brother and I were taken from the cautious words and deeds, and even Sixian was ranked because she was a concubine. ”

"That's weird." Jiang Xuehe wondered, "Since you care so much about the distinction between concubines and concubines, how can the three of you brothers and sisters live like this?" ”

There were a lot of people who came out to see the excitement of the Gu family yesterday, but the few people Jiang Xuehe saw were basically wearing silk and satin, and they didn't look like people who were farming in the countryside at all. But Gu Sixian was wearing a burlap dress, and Jiang Xuehe thought she was a beautiful maid at first.

"After my mother went, my father was not familiar with ordinary affairs, so I let Qiao's housekeeper do it. However, it is not a housekeeper, for a pampered young master, he just throws everything to his subordinates, and the money is temporarily managed by his subordinates. ”

Jiang Xuehe heard him say sarcastic, and then she reacted as if in a big family, the concubine is half a slave and half a master, and her confused father-in-law probably didn't take this concubine much seriously.

But when others died, and the money was in Qiao's hands, Qiao's must not be willing to spend it on Gu Siyan's three siblings.

"Although he has already made arrangements, if the East and West Houses want to divide the family, they must wait for me to get married, and they must take half of the family property, and divide the rest into two equal parts, one is my own brother's, and the other is the brother and sister in the West Courtyard."

Gu Siyan sneered, "But this Gu family has long been in Qiao's hands, and the account books have been manipulated, even if our brothers take seventy or eighty percent, there won't be much left." ”

According to his father, large families are divided in this way, and even some eldest sons can take seventy percent, but he doesn't want to think about it, big families are protected by clans, who dares to object?

But their Gu family fled here, there is no clan jurisdiction, only a certificate of separation issued by the county order is held in Lizheng, and it is not easy to do something here?

Gu Siyan's illness was caused by the wind and cold when he was keeping a wake for his father, Qiao Shi said that after the funeral, the family had no money, so he couldn't ask for a doctor, and when the doctor was invited, he didn't follow the doctor's instructions to decoct the medicine, and he was repeatedly fried for more than half a year to drink, plus the winter charcoal fire was not enough, and the winter clothes and quilts were never replaced with new ones, so the small illness was dragged into a major illness.

If it weren't for the fact that when Qiao's family was preparing to say goodbye to their eldest daughter Gu Dandan, they found that their reputation was really bad, and their daughter was about to be unable to marry, so they realized that they couldn't toss people to death, otherwise Gu Siyan might not be alive now.

Seeing that the three-year filial piety period was about to pass, Qiao's hurriedly asked someone to say goodbye to Gu Siyan, with the idea of separating the East Courtyard as soon as he got married, what she was looking for was Jiang Xuehe, who could marry within two days, plus Jiang Xuehe's reputation was outside, even if outsiders heard it, it could not be said that she treated Gu Siyan badly.

"They even have the coffin ready now, waiting to come and carry my body early tomorrow morning, so no one will come to disturb me today, do whatever you want." Gu Siyan said, "You have taken care of me for so long, you must be tired." ”

"Actually, it's okay, I slept a few times halfway, but you also fell asleep, I don't know." Jiang Xuehe smiled.

She felt that the first day of marriage passed quite quickly, and she would be sleepy when she took care of Gu Siyan, and then when the meal arrived, Gu Sixian would bring food in.

But now that Gu Siyan is sober, she doesn't need to wait all the time, it's time to go and see her flowers and plants that are about to freeze to death.

After Jiang Xuehe ate something casually, she went to check the flowers and plants that had been moved from the Jiang family, which were originally kept in a pot, and it was convenient to put them in the Gu family's yard.

There are a lot of chrysanthemums and orchid seedlings here, she has heard her mother mention before, one is the county order likes, the other is the county lady likes, in the past, in order to do business well, my father and mother will always send a few pots of good flowers to the county government, now she wants to do this business again, it is also very important to get through the relationship over there.

There are not many flower seedlings in this batch, only more than 30 pots, she arranged those flower seedlings separately one by one, brought a bucket of water over, stirred her fingers in the water a few times, sprinkled a few drops of qionglu, and then went to water those flower seedlings one by one after stirring well.

After watering, she began to check for insects and branches and leaves that needed to be cut off, and when she had packed up more than 30 pots of flower seedlings, it was almost dark, and she realized that she was cold and hungry.

The east courtyard of the Gu family is very large, but there are very few people, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation have to be handled by Gu Sixing and Gu Sixian, two children who are only thirteen years old, Jiang Xuehe thought that the time was almost up, so she wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but before she could find the kitchen, Gu Sixian came out with porridge and pickles.

"Fifth sister-in-law, it's time to eat, I'll help you bring it to the fifth brother's room."

Jiang Xuehe took a look and found that today it was still rice soup that was so rare that she couldn't see the grains of rice, and pickles made from vegetable poles that people didn't want, she couldn't help frowning: "Do you eat these things every day?" ”
