Chapter 10: Going Out
"Hello!"
After Grandma Jiang Sigu gritted her teeth and spit out these two words, she lifted her wet skirt and turned around and walked away quickly.
Droplets of water fell on the bricks on the hem of her skirt, leaving messy wet marks.
Jiang laughed loudly: "Fourth sister remember to come and play." ”
Gu Jiayao obviously saw her speeding up her running, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl.
"You two stay!" Jiang spoke up to stop the two servants who slipped away close to the wall.
"Pick up the room and wipe down the seats."
Gu Jiayao pinched her waist and gave orders, acting as a young lady.
She is reluctant to work hard for her mother, there is a ready-made labor force that is not needed, and she is not a fool?
"The fourth aunt asked you to come and serve my mother, she has something to leave, you two can stay, and take on the work of sprinkling water and sweeping the floor first, and then go to the kitchen to bring some food after finishing the work."
These two people are considered the housekeepers and mothers in the house, and they rarely do the work of sprinkling water and cleaning, and when they heard Gu Jiayao's orders, they instinctively resisted.
Jiang sneered, "My daughter can't move you?" ”
"No...... Auntie, I'll listen to Miss Cousin's orders. ”
The two hurriedly lifted the bucket, the picture was too shocking, and they didn't dare to provoke the tigress of the eldest aunt and grandmother.
The legend about the eldest aunt and grandmother in the house is actually true!
Jiang rarely returned to Ning since he got married, and after falling out with his eldest brother, he broke off contact with his mother's family, and these two people were brought back from her in-law's house by Jiang Si's grandmother, and they only vaguely heard the rumors of Jiang's family.
At the time, they listened to it as a joke.
Who knows that the Jiang family is a few points more powerful than the rumors.
With their busy help, the Jiang family was a lot more relaxed, Gu Jiayao saw that the two servant women were instructed by the Jiang family to turn around, and the problem of mother's cleanliness habit did not change because of the crossing.
After eating, the servant withdrew.
Jiang said: "Go back and thank the fourth sister." ”
The two responded in embarrassment, and when the master heard this, he must have thrown the teacup to get angry.
Jiang Shi took Gu Jiayao to lie on the same bed, and a little star and moon light slanted in from the window, silver and cold.
"I'll go out tomorrow to inquire about the news." Gu Jiayao was very tired but couldn't sleep, "Mother tell me about the Jiang family." ”
Jiang Shi closed his eyes and said: "Gu Xi has outstanding appearance, his face is good-looking, and he is even better looking when he was young than now. Miss Jiang also fell in love with him, but she didn't rob me. At the beginning, Master Jiang had already helped me choose a good marriage, and I was almost decided, but I was forced to marry Gu Xi to death. ”
"That good marriage was given to the fourth lady of the Jiang family, who is your fourth aunt who came today. She was also unhappy, and it is said that she was pressed by her mother to go to the sedan chair to worship the church. ”
"Why does she live in Jiang's house?"
Gu Jiayao could see that her family was quite rich and she was a man with money.
Jiang Shi sighed and said: "Her husband's surname is Wang, I don't know the rest, after all, I had a hard fight with her because of Gu Xi back then, and you will be more careful when you meet her in the future." ”
"How does her mother treat you and your uncle?"
"It's not good, it's not bad."
Jiang Shi pondered for a moment, and once again awakened the memory of the original owner in his mind, "She is not a good stepmother praised by everyone, but she is not a bad stepmother who is black-hearted and calculates for her children, the eldest master of the Jiang family has been supporting her so far, which shows that she is still successful in the world." ”
"In the past, Jiang Min was quite extreme, and he had instinctive malice towards his stepmother, and he made a lot of trouble."
Jiang Shi said softly: "She is not radical and will not use a poison to kill the whole family, I hope that they will also have a chance to pass through and be reborn." ”
Gu Jiayao's eyes were bright, and Jiang covered her with a brocade quilt, "Ming'er, aren't you going out to look for evidence?" Still not sleeping? Your father is not here, so I am not with you. ”
Jiang took Gu Jiayao into his arms, I don't know whether to complain or be happy, "I have to raise you again!" This time, you must not follow your wishes, eat all day long and wait for death without ambition. ”
Gu Jiayao didn't know what to say, she just hadn't grown up yet, and slowly closed her eyes, the most important thing was to help her father clear her name.
But the Jiang family's business has been hit hard and it is weird, Gu Jiayao has a hunch that if she doesn't figure it out, the Jiang family's affairs will definitely affect their family.
I thought I would be able to fall asleep for a while, but when Gu Jiayao opened her eyes again, the sky was already bright, and the Jiang family had already brought breakfast back from the kitchen.
"Will I help you dress?"
“…… No. ”
Gu Jiayao rubbed her eyes, Lai Yangyang sat up, she was still a teenager in the end, and she was too easily tired.
The dress still has to be solved, Gu Jiayao can always wear it, the only trouble is the bun, combing a ponytail and going out, she is too eye-catching.
"Little Red come in."
Jiang shouted to the door.
A girl about ten years old walked in, with a duck egg face, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, bright eyes and bright teeth, pretty and lovely.
She has a few freckles on her cheeks, which makes it even more cute.
"Say hello to Miss."
Xiaohong knelt down directly, kowtowed to Gu Jiayao and said, "In the future, the slave will serve you." ”
Gu Jiayao hurriedly dragged Xiaohong up, it was one thing for her to write an article, but she could use child labor, and let her kneel, Gu Jiayao instinctively felt very comfortable.
"Mother, she's ......"
"I asked for it from your uncle, and she will follow you in the future, and she won't have to do heavy work, just help you comb your hair."
Jiang said easily, the process is by no means so simple, Xiaohong is obviously grateful to Jiang, "The slave must serve a good lady and not disappoint my aunt and grandmother." ”
The little girl clenched her fists and swore an oath.
What else can Gu Jiayao say?
Her mother even found a maid, and said that she was strict with her?
Xiaohong took the initiative to help Gu Jiayao comb her hair in a bun, and praised softly: "Miss is so good-looking, better than the young lady in the house and Miss Biao." ”
If it's not good-looking, can the great god of crossing arrange Su Tianxia's character for her?
Gu Jiayao is not yet an adult, but it can be concluded that it is a beautiful embryo.
After breakfast, the Jiang family and Gu Jiayao soldiers split into two ways, and the Jiang family took the silver obtained from robbing the ruffians and hooligans to visit Gu Xi at the prefect's yamen.
Gu Jiayao took the initiative to investigate the bitter master, Jiang hesitated for a moment and agreed, and asked Xiaohong to follow Gu Jiayao all the time.
The messenger took a sip and complained that Gu Xi's bitter master was the shopkeeper of the tavern in the east of the city.
With Xiaohong leading the way, Gu Jiayao quickly arrived in the east of the city, and she found that there were many taverns in the east of the city, and she didn't know which one was the shopkeeper.
However, few of the people who came to the east of the city to drink were dignitaries and dignitaries, and the drinkers were dressed ordinarily, and there were some wrestlers who did heavy work on the wharf not far away.
Fortunately, before going out, Gu Jiayao changed into men's clothes, and deliberately used fat powder to cover her face and painted her skin tan, so she and Xiaohong, who were also in casual clothes, did not attract too many people's side eyes.
Gu Jiayao's clothes are clean, but they have been washed many times, and she doesn't look like a rich person.
