The two peasant women looked at Gu Xi with admiration on their faces, and nodded again and again, "Second brother go and rest, leave this little work to us." ”

Old lady Gu was used to farm work, and she had a lot of strength, so she pushed Gu Xi to the study.

By the way, she arranged live skills for the two daughters-in-law she brought.

"Hey, don't worry, we'll be able to clean up soon."

The two of them worked hard, without half a point of reluctance, and agreed in a brisk tone, and carried the grain and other food brought from the ox cart.

They are skilled in finding the kitchen and the warehouse where things are placed, and they are more familiar with the layout of the house than Gu Jiayao.

Gu Jiayao came to Jiang's side, "It was like this before?" Isn't there a slave or maid in the house? ”

It's not that she didn't ask Gu Xi, but the old lady looked at Gu Xi too closely, and she couldn't get close to her.

Jiang Shi nodded in a word, "How can you let the two younger siblings work hard?" Mother, I still have some silver, just go buy two girls and come back. ”

Similarly, Jiang couldn't stand being served by his younger siblings, and he was uncomfortable.

"That's what they should do, marry into our Gu family, they are well fed and clothed, and they still have money to spare, what's wrong with letting them do some work?"

"It's okay, it's okay, the second sister-in-law should accompany her mother to rest."

The two of them were so busy that they were about to fly.

Jiang: "......"

"You are rough, you have to give me more care, you have broken things, make Xi'er uncomfortable, be careful with your skin."

The old lady was not at ease, and the two daughters-in-law nodded honestly and meekly.

The study has been simply cleaned up by Shi Ze, but it is also clean and tidy.

Old Lady Gu wiped her tears, as if Gu Xi had suffered great humiliation.

"You haven't even held a rag in your hand."

Gu Xi: "......"

"Grandmother, this study was tidied up by me and my mother, and my father didn't do it."

The old lady cried like this, it was so terrible.

Gu Jiayao is not a kind-hearted person, but she can't see such an old lady crying.

"You lied to me!" The old lady choked: "Your mother can't work, you used to be like a log, can Xi'er count on you?" ”

"I said a long time ago that I would let Xi'er take a concubine......"

"Mother, you're tired."

Jiang Shi said lightly, "Let's go to the wing room to rest for a while, the study is the most important place for Xilang, and it is easy not to let people in." ”

The old lady's lips squirmed, obviously afraid of the Jiang family.

"Mother, I'll take you to the wing."

Gu Xi hurriedly led the old lady out of Jiang's sight.

When she went out, the old lady let go of her voice and said, "I heard that scholars are concubines, Xi'er is so handsome, how can others have it, Xi'er doesn't?" ”

"I don't take concubines."

"Then you weren't drunk before?"

“……”

Is the old lady really here to tear down the stage?

"Multiple women can serve you better."

"Minmin is very good, mother, don't worry about my business, not all scholars take concubines."

Gu Xi put on a chic crime, and the old lady said repeatedly: "According to you, all according to you, Xi'er is so handsome, my mother listens to Xi'er." ”

Gu Jiayao listened from behind and almost laughed out loud.

After appeasing the old lady, Gu Xi returned to the study, Jiang's tea was being sipped, Gu Jiayao sat aside, took a book and flipped through it casually.

"Where's Ishizawa?" I sent him out to buy some daily necessities. ”

Gu Xi touched the sweat on his forehead, and said with palpitations: ?" I finally understand what a brainless old lady looks like. ”?“ She also shoved me with a handful of silver, saying that she was afraid that I would not have any money. ”

"Daddy, isn't he feeling well?"

Gu Jiayao threw away the scroll, "With the old lady here, you can understand how you felt at the beginning." ”

Gu Xi was silent for a long time, "There is still a difference." ”

"Minmin, let's just watch those two people work?"

"If you don't look at it, what else can you do?"

Jiang Shi said helplessly: "I personally went to persuade me, and as soon as they saw me, they said that they were working hard, and I had a good life, so I married you!" ”?“ Gu Xi, your face...... How many women have you been fascinated by? ”

"I don't know."

Gu Xi is very innocent, and the male god is not easy to do.

The husband and wife are relatively speechless, and they are not afraid of solving lawsuits and other matters.

But the funny thing is that they have no way to deal with the eccentric old lady and the hard-working concubine.

"It's better to buy a few maids and come back, so that they don't always have to come to the door to do the work of cleaning and cooking."

Gu Jiayao suggested.

"Where does the money come from?"

Jiang Shi pressed his temple, "After giving Shi Ze the silver just now, our family's silver deposit is not much, I always have to leave a sum for emergency use, otherwise I will panic." ”

Gu Xi sighed, the certificate of going to sea was given to the Jiang family to tide over the difficulties, and he did not regret it.

"I can always think of a way, I have already said that I can earn money to support my family, and I will go to the yamen tomorrow to see if there is a shortage of people."

"I estimate that the prefect of Guangzhou will not dare to use you!"

Gu Jiayao was not afraid of hitting his father, "In the prison cell, he can open one eye and close one eye, as long as he pretends to be confused, but now that you are more famous, he doesn't dare to let you be a servant or be his staff." ”

"Dad, celebrities are not used by officials, he is not as famous as you, with a subordinate like you, how can he be comfortable. The prefect would rather handle the case slowly and be stupid than invite you. ”

Gu Xi slowly lowered his head, and Gu Jiayao asked curiously, "The capital ...... Do you have a ...... too?"

"I don't remember."

Gu Xi felt Jiang's gaze and said, "I really don't remember, Xu can only remember when he sees people." ”

"Yaoyao went to find the books of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and I will first see what celebrities and scholars could do at that time."

Gu Xi sent Gu Jiayao away, leaving only the husband and wife, no matter what they said.

The old lady checked the Gu family up and down, and was not very satisfied with the two daughters-in-law, and found a few places that were not cleaned.

Gu Jiayao felt that she was stricter than the people who inspected hygiene in the school.

The cleanliness has been able to meet the inspection of provincial leaders.

Gu Xi looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, and after a long time, he picked up the chopsticks:

"Eat, don't let them down."

After finishing the work and cooking, the old lady went back with her two daughters-in-law.

Didn't even drink saliva!

As it turned out, they were here to work, and to give things and money.

The parents are not wealthy, and the Gu family is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Gu Jiayao got up early and went out with Shi Ze, "I'll go to the study." ”

Yesterday, Gu Jiayao couldn't find a book that she could read!

She barely recognized the traditional Chinese characters, but the long sentences without punctuation marks gave her a headache.

Her father couldn't understand it even more.

Gu Jiayao misses the vernacular very much.

Guangzhou has developed commerce and many shops on the streets, because Dayan has just been founded, and the constraints on women are not great.

Gu Jiayao traveled all the way and saw many young ladies going to the store to buy their favorite things.

So, she happened to meet an acquaintance.
