Chapter 219: A Conversation Between an Old Man and a Young Man
When the sun set in the evening, Gu Jinshu was invited by the old lady to the old lady's yard, and she was accompanied by Nian Jianyu, as for Nian Jianyao, she was left with Gu Fangping, and Zhao Fu also took people to guard there.
When leaving, the four-year-old girl pulled the hem of Nian Jianyu's clothes like a little milk dog, and her tearful and pitiful appearance made people feel infinite pity, but Gu Jinshu finally let her stay with Gu Fangping, lest her aunt not have cranky thoughts.
The old lady's courtyard is warm and atmospheric, which is essentially different from the other courtyards of the Nian family, although she knew early on that the old lady was the daughter of the Li family in Mizhou, and she was the sister of the Mizhou Thorn History, but when she saw the furnishings in the main house, she still shook her head.
——No wonder people in the world say that Jizhou is a rich place, and at the beginning of Mizhou's wealth, this place may be slightly weaker than Jizhou, but it is obviously much richer than Qinzhou and other places.
"Gu's Jinshu meets the old lady."
"Sit down, I didn't look closely at it earlier, but now I see that it is really a neat person. People say that the daughter of the Ye family is very good-looking, and your mother was a good-looking woman at the beginning. ”
"If the first mother knew that the old lady praised her so much, she would be extremely happy in her heart, who didn't know that the old lady was a living bodhisattva in this Mizhou City."
Gu Jinshu also picked up nice words and said that although what happened to her aunt over the years had a great deal to do with this person's indulgence, her cousin and cousin were indeed well raised by her.
The old lady has been staring at her since she entered the hall, and she can't help but look at Gu Jinshu's generous steps without the slightest mess, and now she can't help but look a little higher than she can help but look at it a little more.
- Compared with this niece, her aunt is much inferior, otherwise she would not have been deceived by the young book.
At first, because of the old man, she took care of this daughter-in-law, but in the end, she found out that she was an unclear person, who was used as a gun by Qingshu in the open and secret, and even went to meet Qingshu's biological parents in private.
Qingshu's child was raised by him, so he was naturally ruthless, but this Gu family was not related to her, and after one or two times, she also stopped thinking about caressing. Without paying attention, she was locked in the dilapidated courtyard, and Ah Sheng took the throne.
Compared with Gu's, she prefers Ah Sheng, although she has good means and a lot of eyes, but she likes to deal with smart people. She didn't know what Ah Sheng thought inside, but since she took charge of the Nian family, Qingshu's relationship with that family has obviously cooled, and she has become more and more respectful to herself.
With this, her good impression of Ah Sheng is better than Gu Fangping.
"I am also very sad about your aunt's affairs, but I can't interfere in the affairs of this young man, you come from Jizhou and don't know if you know the situation in the house, there are some things that I really can't control." The old lady's sighing voice was endless, and Gu Jinshu looked at Nian Jianyu not far away, looked at him with a worried look and smiled, "The old lady has taught my little cousin very well, and my Gu family has no intention of resentment even if it is unreasonable." ”
Looking at the old lady's slightly relaxed face, Gu Jinshu's words suddenly changed, and she laughed loudly: "However, my father only has my aunt, a sister-in-law, although he can't leave Jizhou for the time being, but when I set off, there is no lack of entrustment, be sure to let me handle this matter properly, especially the culprit of this matter." ”
"That Ah Sheng is the servant waiting by Qingshu's side, and the relationship between the two has always been very good. His father and I used to think that when your aunt came over, I would give it to him, and I didn't want to ......."
The old lady is not good at talking about such a private matter in front of an unmarried boudoir girl, and Gu Jinshu doesn't want to know the process, but just pays attention to the result: "I think that the eldest son is a little older than my cousin, and my aunt is afraid that she has already given birth to the eldest son before she starts." But when the family married my aunt, they didn't make it clear. ”
If he knew at that time that the Nian family had the eldest son, then his father would have been reluctant to marry his aunt far away, and there would be enough reason to tear up the marriage contract, but the Nian family hid this matter, even if the aunt and mother exchanged letters later, they never mentioned it.
"This is indeed the Nian family."
"The fault of the Nian family is not only here, but more about spoiling concubines and killing wives! I heard that my uncle also held a false position in the yamen, didn't he even know the laws and decrees of my Great Zhou? ”
The law of the Great Zhou Dynasty prohibits spoiling concubines and killing wives, otherwise being pursued by the wife's family will ruin their careers, and even more so will be ridiculed by the world after making a big fuss. After all, you can't even control your own wife, how can you control your subordinates?
"I heard that my aunt's dowry list has been lost a long time ago, and this time the dowry list was also brought by me."
The mother is a generous person, and the father pities the aunt for marrying far away, so there are not a few dowries at the beginning, but when I opened the private library, I found that there were few things inside, and they were all defective products that were picked up.
The old lady's face was slightly sluggish, although she disdained to covet her daughter-in-law's dowry, but how many of the things that Ah Sheng had sent over the years were Gu's dowry, she was afraid that she didn't know much in her heart. Now the girl of the Gu family obviously wants to find out the dowry, but what has been damaged by this check is the reputation of the Nian family.
Although she doesn't care much about the reputation of the Nian family, after all, this is the place where her soul will return after a hundred years, and it can't be taken too lightly.
"You don't have to worry about the dowry, I will definitely have someone prepare it within five days, and then you can count the dowry list."
"The old lady is so cool, I naturally can't be stingy, so I will take this matter for my aunt."
Gu Jinshu's purpose is to get the dowry back, not to tear his face with the Nian family at this moment, and after the dowry is counted, Ah Sheng will naturally have to pay the price, as for the career of the young man, don't think about it in this life.
"When I came, I studied my cousin's knowledge, and the old lady was very well educated. It's just that I heard that he is not very harmonious with the brothers in the house, and this is not because he wants to meet his brothers. ”
"This ......"
Although Qingshu has other aunts, but this child is born to his wife, and the rest of the children are Ah Sheng's children, and I don't know if I will be mad when I see someone in the Gu family at this time, but look at this little girl is not a difficult to talk to, and she shouldn't do too much.
"When I came, I went to Liao's house, and I heard her say that Mizhou Li Thorn Shi is diligent and loves the people, and now I have heard a little, and I heard that he is your brother again?"
Gu Jinshu always had a smile on her face when she said this, so that people couldn't find any mistakes, but the old lady still felt a chill poking through her head and the soles of her feet, and she had the illusion of being led by the nose.
