Chapter 128: The Daily Life of the Housekeeper (2)
Gu Jiangyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the girl's stunned look.
The girl was startled by this voice, raised her eyes, but saw Gu Jiangyuan's face full of joy.
"What is Father laughing at?"
Gu Jin tilted his head sideways, and doubts appeared in his eyes.
Gu Jiangyuan put down his pen, handed the handwritten handwriting in his hand to Gu Jin, and said, "Laugh at my son's ability." ”
Gu Jin took the handwriting, the ink on the paper had not dried, and above the faint fragrance of ink, there was a majestic font in Gu Jiangyuan's hand.
There are not many words, just two sentences.
The first sentence is: King Qixian.
The second sentence is: My son is well, thank you.
Gu Jin was stunned, only then did she understand the secret, when she went to the dining room to see Gu Jiangyuan yesterday, she heard Gu Jiangyuan and He arguing about their own affairs, she didn't think much about it at that time, but now it seems that it is Lu Guitang's handiwork again.
This is when the letter was not delivered to Gu Jiangyuan in Dingzhou, but he refused to give up, and made up one before Gu Jiangyuan's class returned to the court?
But she was in the Xianwang Mansion at that time, and she didn't know about it!
Gu Jin was not very happy in his heart, but he couldn't say why.
If she thinks that Lu Guitang is too busy, this move also contributed to her housekeeping.
If you think Lu Guitang is too rampant, he secretly communicates letters under the nose of the Son of Heaven, but Lu Guitang is also a rampant person.
Gu Jin's heart was in turmoil, and he fell silent for a while.
Lu Guitang is too attentive to her.
When Gu Jiangyuan saw her like this, he laughed twice, and there was no blame between his words, but more pity.
"Being a father and not at home all these years has made you suffer a lot of grievances."
Gu Jin's heart warmed when she heard this, many years had passed for her, and she had been looking forward to the day when her father and brother returned victoriously, and she had been looking forward to it for many years.
"It's good if my father comes back." When he said this, Gu Jin had already suppressed the intricate emotions.
Gu Jiangyuan didn't say anything, he only reached out and took the handwritten letter in Gu Jin's hand, put it in the envelope, and did not withdraw the money.
Gu Jin didn't know how Gu Jiangyuan could deliver the letter to the Xianwang Mansion in Bianliang City without being noticed, but they must have their own methods.
Gu Jiangyuan put away the shoe, put it in his sleeve, and glanced at Gu Jin again, he chuckled:
"When you come back this time, it's time to talk about your marriage."
Gu Jin's body shook suddenly, this is what Gu Jiangyuan called her to the study to say today.
Gu Jiangyuan already knew about the previous things, and naturally he also knew about Lu Guitang's blocking of the sedan chair for her to make a scene.
This is not appropriate and proper.
Gu Jin is now twenty-eight years old, and the daughters of ordinary families have reached the age of discussing relatives, and now Gu Xiang's marriage has already been settled, and it is not surprising that Gu Jiangyuan mentioned Gu Jin's marriage today.
Gu Jin bit her lip and wanted to open her mouth to refuse the matter, but he couldn't find a suitable reason.
After a long time, it was Gu Jiangyuan who spoke out first to break the silence: "It's not in a hurry, now that you have just received the housekeeper's errand, there are many things to worry about in the huge courtyard." ”
Gu Jiangyuan saw that she was uncertain, so he changed his words.
He just returned to the DPRK, and there are many things in the DPRK, and he has no time to talk about Gu Jin's family affairs in a short period of time.
Gu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and fell on the wooden box containing the pair of keys on the table, she carefully reached out to take it, and calmly greeted this time of the housekeeper's day.
……
This night, the Gu Mansion finally slept peacefully, but only the lights in the evening window pavilion were lit for half the night.
The little girl Yunqian was dozing off at the table, and beside her, Gu Jin was fighting at night.
She didn't dare to be negligent, and after getting the housekeeper's key to match the cards today, she informed Gu Haomian and asked Yun Qian to go and get the account books in the house, saying that she wanted to check the income and expenditure of the house over the years.
Gu Jin's pen tip Zhu Mo was about to dry, so he reached out to dip it in the inkstone, and this movement woke up Yun Xuan.
The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked up at the bright moon hanging outside, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Miss, it's so late!" ”
Gu Jin snorted lightly, she knew what time it was.
Yun Qian blinked, approached Gu Jin to look at the account book in her hand, there were five or six books she moved back from the young master today, one of them had to be an inch thick, and now the first one has been half read by Gu Jin, the little girl's eyes widened, and her face was incredible: "Miss, you have read so much in one night." ”
Yun Qian measured the thickness of one and a half inches with his hand, and he already felt dizzy.
Gu Jin didn't answer her, and hummed lightly again, her mind was quick, and she looked at things quite quickly.
Yun Qian held her cheeks and looked at it for a while, feeling that her eyelids really couldn't be opened, and she was embarrassed to tell Gu Jin that she was sleepy, so she timidly cared: "Miss, rest early, these are all old accounts in the house, presumably there won't be any big loopholes." ”
When Gu Jin heard this, he put aside the red pen in his hand.
She spread out her palms, held up the ledger she was looking at, and said to Yun Xuan, "You flip through it." ”
The little girl didn't know why, but she still reached out and flipped through the pages of the first half of the book that Gu Jin had read, and this time, Yun Qian only felt that her teeth were trembling.
On the top of the half of the ledger, there will be a few reds on only three or five pages, and there will be as many as ...... There are so many that Yunqian has lost count.
Yun Qian suddenly woke up, "Miss, what is this?" ”
Gu Jin sighed and took the account book back, "Over the years, our housewife has been busy socializing everywhere, and everything about the money in the house has been handed over to the people below. Gu Jin couldn't help but flip over his hands again, and those batches of red looked shocking. I have not yet approved the amount of less than two pieces of silver, and these large amounts alone have a deficit of one million taels of silver in half a year. ”
Yun Qian pursed her lips, the more she listened, the more frightened she felt, one million taels, the silver she had seen since she was born did not add up to that much.
When thinking like this, Gu Jin's wrist with the pen flipped again, and a reconciliation of five taels of silver was missing on the paper.
Gu Jin couldn't help but look up, the flickering candle flame stung her eyes and cooled the girl's heart.
How much is five taels of silver? It is a poor family that does not worry about eating, drinking, clothing and housing, can eat ice crisp in summer, and can use the earth to warm in winter, and can live a year in peace!
The Gu Mansion is not a house of arrogance and lasciviousness, and there will still be so many deficits, what about the Marquis's House? What about the houses of the courtiers in the six parts?
Now that the war in Shuobei has been calmed down, the floods in northern Hunan have also been calmed, and Bianliang City has raided the Kang Mansion again, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Kang family will not be used as an introduction to rectify the Qingming of these officials in the court.
After the latest year, the DPRK and China will certainly take measures.
