169 The first day of the new year

Lin Meng opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but didn't say anything more.

Knowing that she had accepted this reality, Wen Yu pointed to the spiritual position: "Go ahead and finish your work." ”

Well, it seemed that there was no other choice, and with a feeling of trepidation, I lit the incense candle with my trembling little hands.

After completing everything, he ran over and threw himself into Wen Yu's arms. It was like a frightened little lamb who saw his mother.

Wen Yu raised the water glass and forcibly stopped the flying beauty.

Lin Meng was very unhappy, sat down opposite him angrily, put his head in his hands and asked, "Why do you make things so clear, how good is it to be confused?" ”

Wen Yu looked at her with disdain.

Pour a glass of water at just the right temperature into his mouth, and slurp and drink: "It's not that I want to find out, it's your parents who want me to figure out, and I called last night to say that you slept like a dead pig, so I didn't receive it." ”

Lin Meng looked at the light outside, the sky was already bright, and the warm sunlight came in through the window and hit her. The fear weakened a little, and pulled Wen Yu up to play coquettishly with her: "I'm really hungry, go out to eat, no one knows." ”

Wen Yu didn't move, but lay on the sofa, and reprimanded Lin Meng with a long sigh: "First of all, people should be the same on the outside, and they can't go, secondly, you know that people should be the same on the outside, but they are just scared and want to escape for a while, and escape at any cost, and third, now you give me a good stay, don't affect my sleep."

If you interfere with my sleep, I will throw you in a coffin and accompany my grandmother to Huangquan Road. ”

Of course Lin Meng was unwilling, so he climbed on the sofa and approached Wenlin. The difference between the two faces was less than ten centimeters, and she was rightly forbidden to sleep: "What should I do if you fall asleep?" ”

Wen Yu opened her eyes, made an expression of holding back her efforts, and turned her body to face the direction of the kitchen: "You can drink a glass of water, and then start the countdown, I will wake up before Uncle Yaotian comes." ”

Lin Meng didn't have a second choice, firstly, she was indeed a little hungry, and Wen Yu had faint dark circles at the corners of her eyes, so it was certain that she didn't sleep well.

Although I was very unhappy, I still couldn't resist the hunger in my stomach. Go into the kitchen and drink the sugar water from a measuring cup.

Returning to the mourning hall and snuggling in Wen Yu's arms, Wen Yu pushed her away: "You already slept last night, can you stop bullying me now!" ”

Of course, Lin Meng refused. Shaking his head, he looked at her with two eyes and replied: "No, you are afraid of everything alone, lie in your arms and rest assured." ”

It's really impossible, there must be no way to sleep here, Wen Yu picked up the blanket and went to grandma's room, grandma had just passed away, and Lin Meng didn't dare to go into her room.

Lin Meng didn't dare to follow, so he could only stand in the corridor and watch her.

Although Lin Meng looked pitiful, Wen Yu didn't have the slightest intention to follow her. When he entered the room, he turned around and told Lin Meng, "If you are really bored, clean up the house." ”

After saying that, close the door and stop caring about anything that happens in this world.

Lin Meng returned to the living room, becoming more and more scared to be alone, thinking of finding something to do, so he cleaned the house up and down according to what Wen Yu said.

At eleven o'clock, Wen Yu was woken up by the alarm clock, opened his eyes and saw the world again, stretched his waist, and got up from the bed.

When she came out of the bedroom, she saw Lin Meng cleaning hard in the corridor, and gave her a thumbs up and praised her: "Good job, come on." ”

Seeing that Wen Yu had already gotten up, Lin Meng's fear instantly dropped. In an instant, she lost her energy, and the tools were thrown aside, following closely behind her, not leaving an inch.

Wen Yu saw Lin Meng pick up the washing tools in the bathroom, and asked her in surprise, "You haven't washed yet?" What are you doing all morning? ”

Lin Meng glared at Wen Yu angrily, turned her body to face the living room, and pointed outside: "See, this house is so clean because there are angels." ”

Wen Yu snorted twice, squeezed out the toothpaste, put it in his mouth and took it out: "Being able to do it without disliking yourself is also a great skill." ”

Lin Meng threw a roll of his eyes and stopped arguing with Wen Yu.

The two of them tried to delay time as much as possible, delaying what could have been done in five minutes to twenty minutes, washing up for nearly an hour and a half, and when they came out of the bathroom, they heard the sound of cooking in the kitchen, and it was the housekeeper who came.

In the past two days, he has been in charge of food and lodging, and the last time he tasted his craftsmanship, Wen Yu really had some expectations.

Of course, she was doomed to be disappointed, because she had filial piety, so she only had simple vegetarian dishes.

In fact, I am not very disappointed, even the cheapest cabbage is very delicious after being fried by the housekeeper's hands.

For lunch for three people, there are only five simple dishes and five green cabbages with different recipes.

The housekeeper said, "When Madame was still there, my favorite was cabbage." Mrs. always said: To be a man should be as innocent as cabbage, even if it grows out of the mud, it must be innocent. ”

It can be seen that the housekeeper is the saddest for grandma's departure. After all, they have been together for decades, and it is no exaggeration to say that the relationship between the housekeeper and his wife may have long surpassed the relationship between her and her husband.

Lin Meng and Wen Yu were silent, they had never experienced this kind of thing, and they couldn't empathize.

For the butler, that was enough, as long as the two children listened attentively, and he never hoped that the two children would understand his feelings.

After lunch, the housekeeper cleaned up briefly, came over and sat down on the sofa, and handed the two of them some pastries: "This can pass the time when you are bored." ”

This is very humane, after all, for two young girls with a spring in their hearts, it is really boring enough to stay here.

The pastry was put down and said to the two, "Was last night okay?" ”

Lin Meng turned his gaze away, and without answering the question, Wen Yu smiled and said, "It's not good." ”

The butler nodded in understanding and said to Wen Yu, "But your performance is much better than I expected, at least nothing happened today." ”

The butler paused, and then said, "Madame's vision is really right, you are both very good children. ”

What did Grandma and the housekeeper say about them in private, Wen Yu was not interested, and she didn't want to know.

Wen Yu has never cared about what others say about her. Now, she didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so she changed the topic and asked, "You have been with your grandmother all these years, and you should know the Gu family's situation best, can you tell me about it?" ”

The housekeeper is a very keen person, and when he heard Mu Xiaoyu ask, he almost guessed Mu Xiaoyu's thoughts: "You are thinking about the inheritance, my suggestion is that since the lady gives it to you, just accept it, anyway, it's not a bad thing." ”

"But I still want to know something about the Gu family, even if it's to take a look at what happened behind my grandmother. I know, my grandmother gave us the inheritance, and she also had this idea. ”

The housekeeper's eyes were somewhat approving, and he said to Wen Yu: "The sun is good, let's go to the rooftop to bask in the sun." ”

This is not to ask for advice, after saying that, the housekeeper got up and turned off the power, took the two to the rooftop, sat down on the chaise longue and said: "When my wife was dying, I asked me to convey 'Your acceptance of the inheritance is the result of her careful consideration, and there is no need to worry, as for the Gu family, if there is a conflict in the future, if you can let go of a horse, it can be regarded as giving her a thin face, and I am grateful'." ”

This is not a simple exhortation, the artistic conception in the words is too profound, Wen Yu didn't understand it, and asked his doubts: "As far as I know, grandma's property is enough for three generations to worry-free, why do you have this move, do you have such a statement?" ”

The housekeeper shook his head and smiled bitterly, his eyes showed a lot of desolation, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he replied to Wen Yu: "There are a lot of properties, but after all, they are limited, and if they fall into the hands of some people, it is only half a cup of tea, and they have the heart to squander, not much." ”

Neither of them understood, so they asked in unison, "Can you say it clearly?" ”

The housekeeper looked up to the sky and sighed, pressed back his tears, and said to the two: "The most beautiful time of the Gu family was twenty years ago, when the old man was in charge, he called for wind and rain in this city, and the influence was greater than that of today's Wen family Lin family, and later passed to the hands of the younger generations. ”

This matter is not a secret in the circle, Wen Yu and Lin Meng have of course heard of it, the Gu family back then can be described as a dominant party, and no one in the entire area does not admire the old man of the Gu family, but the glory of the Gu family is really short-lived, from rise to decline only in a short period of ten years.

To this day, no one talks about it on the streets. The Gu family's business empire, which once dominated the Quartet, has now been reduced to a second- or third-rate conglomerate.

The housekeeper looked into the distance, didn't know what he was thinking about, and continued after a pause: "The wife originally hoped that the grandchildren could produce a capable person and deliver the property in their hands, not to mention a comeback, but at least not to be wiped out, but whoever thinks about it is a person who is a dog and a horse." Over the years, I have seen my wife cry secretly. The old lady still looks very healthy, but I am afraid that her heart has already been broken, and her tears have long since dried up. ”

Wen Yu didn't think there was anything about what the housekeeper said, it was normal for the rich second generation to eat, drink and have fun, not to mention that in a company like Gu's, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and it is normal for children and grandchildren to squander some.

Of course, these words are also thought about for themselves, and it is very inappropriate to say them from the perspective of a recipient. Moreover, from my grandmother's point of view, it is really sad to see that my juniors are all small things that do not enter the stream, and to see the business empire I founded by myself have fallen to this point.

Success or failure, Wen Yu really doesn't want to continue to listen to such things. took out the jade pendant given by his grandmother and asked, "Uncle can you know this thing?" ”

The housekeeper glanced at it, nodded and said, "I do know the ins and outs, but my wife has a special explanation, 'This matter can only be solved by yourself, and if others help, it will only help more and more." ”
