"Chunping, who said that I don't look down on the Dingwu Marquis Mansion? We can look down on others, but others may not look down on us? The Dingwu Hou Mansion is a wealthy family, and the son of the Jiang family is the son of the Hou Mansion, the heir of the Hou Mansion in the future, if our Gu family marries Sister Tang smoothly, we may have to suffer a lot before becoming the Hou Ye's wife. ”

Lin said, her eyes were a little confused, and she couldn't make up her mind in her heart.

Gu Yutang's lifelong event has always been to ask the Yang family, and she is not good to make decisions on her own. And now the Jiang family brother likes her, if she beats the mandarin ducks and breaks them up like this, it will offend the Jiang family brother and the Dingwu Hou Mansion.

The old slave knew that the old lady was distressed by the third girl, but the third girl was no longer a three-year-old naughty child, and the third girl was already old and knew what she wanted and what she didn't want. If the old lady forcibly let the third girl be with the third son of the Fan family, and let the third girl marry into the Fan family, the third girl will be chilled and resentful of you when she hears it. ”

Mama Liang deliberately persuaded the Lin family not to meddle in this matter, but she persuaded countless times, but the Lin family couldn't listen to it, and she had no choice.

Mama Liang looked at the Lin family with an unmoved look, and finally persuaded again, "Old lady, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't meddle with your old age." We don't know if the three sons of the Fan family don't like the three girls, if we unilaterally match the three sons of the Fan family and the three girls, I'm afraid that the three sons of the Fan family will not respond. ”

Lin listened to what Mama Liang said, and finally listened to it, waved his hand at Mama Liang, signaled her to stop, and said, "I know what you said." After we return to Chengjiang, let's discuss Sister Tang's marriage with the Yang family! ”

At sunset, there were a few bright red burning clouds in the blue sky, like a galloping fire horse, with the surrounding white clouds dyed a little red, for a time, many maids and women in the house stopped to watch.

The outer courtyard was bustling with excitement because of the spectacle of burning clouds. The ancestral hall in the backyard was deserted and unpopular, and the heavy wooden door of the ancestral hall was locked with a red gold lock.

There were still a few guards standing outside the door, they watched the lively scene in the front yard, but they couldn't go over, they could only guard the ancestral hall here. They were instructed by Feng Lao'an, and they kept guard in front of the ancestral hall day and night, not allowing people to enter or let the people inside.

A little girl with a slightly younger grade looked at the lively scene in the front yard, glanced at the deserted ancestral hall behind him, and couldn't help but complain to the little girl boss next to him.

"Boss, what did you say the master did wrong? The old lady wants to lock the old man in the ancestral hall, and no one is allowed to intercede with the old man, let alone anyone to visit. ”

The little boss glanced at the ancestral hall behind him, looked around again, and saw that there was no one else, so he dared to answer.

"Ah Qing, our lord treats his wife harshly, his wife has only been sick for a few days, and the master has prepared for his wife's funeral. In our dynasty, if you treat your wife harshly, you will have to suffer a lawsuit. In order to prevent our master from continuing to make mistakes, the old lady asked the master to be tied up and locked up in this ancestral hall. ”

"Our lord, it's really not kind enough! No matter what the eldest lady says, she is the wife of the master, but she has been sick for a few days, so she began to prepare for the future. Isn't this hoping that my wife will die soon? If these things spread to his wife's mother's house, there would be a lot of trouble in the house. The little girl A-Qing was very cautious when she spoke, staring at the movements around her all the time.

"The affairs of the master's family, we who are small servants, let's take care of it! In the past, it was the old lady who was in charge of the house, but now that the master is back, it is the master who is in charge, if we want to get ahead in the future, I am afraid that we will have to rely on this one who is now locked up in the ancestral hall! The little servant said, pointing to the ancestral hall behind him.

In the ancestral hall, Gu Lihua sat in the study and looked at the book he had collected back, and there was a little servant named Ah Ming waiting beside him.

Because of the small place in the ancestral hall, if there was anything outside, it could be heard clearly, and the conversation between the two little guys outside also fell into the ears of Gu Lihua and Ah Ming.

Ah Ming put down the tea cup in his hand and was about to rush out, saying, "Master, there are many people in the house who like to gossip, do you want Ah Ming to open the door and go out to teach the two people at his feet a lesson." ”

Gu Lihua picked up the cold tea cup that had been placed on the high table next to him, and said, "Ah Ming, there's no need." Now that we are locked up in this ancestral hall by the old lady, we can't afford to get along with them for such a trivial matter. As the so-called down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, more is better than less. ”

"Master, isn't it possible to let them talk nonsense outside? The old man can swallow this breath, but Armin can't swallow this breath, I must teach them a good lesson! ”

As soon as Ah Ming's words fell, he wanted to smash the lock and go out, but was stopped by Gu Lihua.

Gu Lihua pulled Ah Ming tightly, for fear that he would break free, and persuaded him.

"Amin, don't be rash, you can do it for a while! If we break open the locks and break out, and get the news out of the old lady's ears, maybe she'll have us locked up in the cellar again. Rather than being locked up in the cellar by the old lady, I would rather stay in this ancestral hall, which is more spacious. ”

After listening to what Gu Lihua said, Ah Ming could be regarded as listening to it, and then he let go of his hand and said.

"Let the master stay in the ancestral hall all the time, Ah Ming only feels aggrieved. Aunt Hong has already asked the maid to deliver the news, she is waiting by the old lady's side these days, if the old lady is in a good mood, she and the old lady mention it, and let the old lady come out. ”

When Gu Lihua heard this, he first sighed, and then said, "If only it was as simple as you think, it would be good." I asked Hongmei to go to the old lady to learn housekeeping, but the old lady was a little unhappy. Now that I am locked up in the ancestral hall, if Hongmei goes to the old lady and mentions me, I am afraid that it will touch the old lady's brow. ”

"Sir, just rest assured, Aunt Hong is a smart woman who knows what to say and what not to say. And Aunt Hong has been learning housekeeping by the old lady's side for so long, she should have touched the old lady's heart, and she won't do things that she is not sure of. ”

As he spoke, Amin lit the incense in the house with a fire breaker. Streams of green smoke suddenly came out of the hollow carved incense burner, and there was a faint fragrance, which smelled very good.

……

Since the families in Wutong Lane stopped the porridge shack in front of the door, Wutong Lane has been much deserted, and there are many fewer victims who come to beg for a day.

Feng Lao'an took advantage of this opportunity, and after discussing with Jiang Zhiming, he used the guards brought by Jiang Zhiming's Marquis Mansion and the family members in the Gu Mansion to transport the surplus grain from the Chengnan Grain Village together.
