Chapter 230: Loyal Servant

Mother Zhang has also heard these days that the prince of Dingwu has a favorite person in his heart, who is the third girl of the Gu family in Chengjiang, and now lives in this mansion, and he is tired of being with the prince of Dingwu all day long.

If they rashly begged the prince of Dingwu to marry the county lord, the prince of Dingwu would not agree and would drive them out.

If these things reach the ears of the Gu family girl again, maybe there will be some kind of turmoil again?

Now they are here to be guests of the Gu family, although they have Mu Wangfu as a backer behind them, but they can't use Mu Wangfu to suppress the Gu family for no reason, right?

Besides, she has also heard that the Gu family in Chengjiang Mansion and the Gu family in Shiping, Pengpu are all one family, although they have been separated, they can break the bones and connect the tendons, if they use the status of Mu Wangfu to suppress the Gu family in Chengjiang, I am afraid that the other two families will not stand idly by?

Therefore, Zhang's mother couldn't let Biluo do this, so she pulled Biluo to the corner of the side, planning to explain the cause and effect of this matter to her clearly.

"Miss Biluo, although the county lord treats us with deep affection, we can't do such a foolish thing. Who is the prince of Dingwu? That is the sister-in-law of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion, the heart of the Dingwu Marquis Tao's wife, Mrs. Tao spoils the son of the world, and everything follows the rules. ”

Tao went to Lijiang to divorce the princess, also because the prince had the Gu family girl in his heart. ”

Zhang's mother said this, and Biluo finally understood.

It was because of the fact that the prince of Dingwu had a Gu family girl in his heart, and the wife of Dingwu Marquis dared to risk offending the palace and went to Lijiang to divorce the princess. Otherwise, she thought about the old lady of Dingwu, Tao, and she didn't dare to do anything to offend the palace.

"Mom means that the prince of Dingwu Hou already has that Gu family girl in his heart, and he will not marry our county lord no matter what, so what should our county lord do? Aren't you going to marry into a husband who doesn't know each other?"

Biluo was worried about the little county lord Mu in her heart, for fear that her own county lord would suffer half of the hardship, and when she said this, tears were already surging in her eyes.

Why doesn't Zhang's mother pretend to be the county lord in her heart? Mu Xiaojun is the child she brought up, and even the princess Niangniang, the time she has been in contact with Mu Xiaojun is not as long as her.

It was for the sake of the county lord that she fled with the county lord. It's just that she fled with the county lord, and she had already told the princess in advance that it was the princess's acquiescence that they could successfully escape.

Otherwise, with the Mu Palace's heavily guarded, if you want to successfully bring the county lord away from the Mu Palace, I am afraid that it will be difficult to climb to the sky!

Zhang's mother wrote a letter back, firstly to tell the princess that the county lord was in Pengpu and was not yet worried about her life, and secondly, she asked the princess to think of a way to let the county lord marry to the Pingning Marquis Mansion, which really hurt her!

"Biluo, the Pingning Hou Mansion is not as unbearable as we think, the eldest prince of Pingning Hou was born to the first lady, and now although this Pingning Hou Lady is a stepfamily, she treats the eldest prince very well.

Now that the eldest prince is about to join the Hanlin Academy, he thought about getting married, and for the sake of the dignity of the Hou Mansion, the second wife of the Ping family came to our family. ”

Zhang's mother was worried that Biluo didn't know what was going on, thinking that the Pingning Hou Mansion was a land of jackals, tigers and leopards, so she told her in detail about the Pingning Hou Mansion.

The county lord just hasn't seen the prince of Pingninghou, if he does, maybe he likes it?

Zhang's mother thought so in her heart, but she knew that Mu Xiaojun didn't think like this in her heart.

The county lord has a thousand in his heart, and ten thousand look down on the Pingning Marquis Mansion, and he has no good impression of the Pingning Marquis.

Biluo listened to Zhang's mother's words, thinking that she didn't want to help the county lord come up with ideas, so she hurriedly pulled the corners of Zhang's mother's clothes and said hurriedly.

"Mom, our family is the palace, and the Pingning Hou Mansion is just the Hou Mansion, and the county lord has married him, isn't it a low marriage? When the time comes, if the county lord returns to Lijiang, those people in Lijiang who usually point fingers at us may laugh at us behind our backs again. ”

Mu Xiaojun is the county lord, with a noble status, marrying a concubine of the Hou Mansion is indeed a low marriage, and he is a little wronged.

If the son-in-law inherits the title of marquis in the future, it is not a grievance; If there is nothing to come out of, and the name of a son-in-law is empty, it will be difficult to endure in the days to come.

Mother Zhang and Bi Luo talked in the ear room for half an hour, and the little county lord called the maid to squat under the window and listened for half an hour. But Zhang's mother and Biluo were hiding in the corner of the room and talking, and the maid was far away, so she didn't hear much clearly, but only listened to some generally.

After seeing that the lights were turned off in the house, the maid stood up and went to the house of the little county lord Mu to reply.

Previously, when Zhang's mother was talking to Biluo, she saw a figure moving outside the window, and knew that someone was listening to the corner again. Needless to say, it must be the maid who serves by the county lord's side.

The county lord was really worried about them, the maids who came down from Lijiang together.

"Mother, if we tell that maid to report what we said tonight to the county lord, and the county lord blames him, what can we do?" Biluo looked a little flustered, and a layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared in her palms, clutching the handkerchief embroidered with red li.

Zhang's mother extinguished the oil lamp lit outside, took a blue and white porcelain origami lotus pattern candlestick and walked to the resting room, where there were two soft couches, Biluo was now sitting on one of the soft couches, her expression was in a trance, and her face was pale.

She wanted to plan for the county lord in her heart, but she was afraid that the county lord would know her plan and blame her for being nosy.

She is now in a dilemma.

The county lord treated her like a mountain, and promoted her from a little maid who swept the outer courtyard to a big maid who served her closely, and the county lord is now going to marry someone she doesn't like, how can she not be anxious for her?

But the county lord has always been arbitrary, and he doesn't want others to interfere in his own affairs, let alone this kind of marriage event. She came to intervene with a maid, which is indeed a little unreasonable.

Mother Zhang took down the copper kettle hanging from the stove in the house, poured the boiling water into a blue and white porcelain lotus-patterned teapot, grabbed a handful of Biluochun from the tea box on the eight-treasure shelf, and threw it into the teapot.

After shaking it a few times, the boiling water had the fragrance of tea and was quickly poured into the teacup of the ordinary green-glazed celadon.

handed the teacup to Biluo's hand, Zhang's mother was not worried about her, afraid that she would make a mistake, so she reminded her again.

"Biluo girl, these things I told you tonight are not allowed to be mentioned to outsiders. Even if the county lord asked, you have to say that you don't know. If these words between you and me spread tonight and reach the ears of the county lord, I am afraid that the county lord will not easily spare you and me. ”

Zhang's mother said, picking up a teacup and drinking a few cups of hot tea.

In the west room, Jiang Zhiming sat cross-legged on the Luohan couch in the room, and ordered the stone to open the window facing the Luohan couch.

As soon as the window was opened, the starry sky outside the house instantly came into view, the starry sky tonight was very beautiful, and I don't know if Gu Yutang's stupid girl asked Ah Hua to open the window and watch the starry sky with him?

The wind was strong at night, the dew was heavy, and my brother was facing the window, and it was easy to get cold and cold, so he ordered the mother-in-law in the pantry to make a stove with silver charcoal and send it to the back room.

Jiang Zhiming usually doesn't need to be in the stove, so he closes the doors and windows tightly, the wind outside can't blow in, and the house is naturally warm. But now that the windows are wide open, if you don't burn a stove, this cool breeze will really blow people sick.

"Childe, just now Mrs. Feng's grandmother on the stove in the house came to our courtyard to find the cook in the small kitchen to have a drink, and talked about some of the things that happened in the front hall today."

Shi took a cup of hot tea in his hand, but he was worried about telling his son-in-law about what happened in the front hall today, so he didn't put the tea on the high table.

Jiang Zhiming only said half of what he said when he heard the stone's words, and half of it was choked in his mouth, and he didn't say it. Turning around, he took the tea cup in Shishi's hand, and said, "Shishi, if you have anything to say, you might as well speak up!" It's not like you. ”

The stone looked at Jiang Zhiming in front of him, he didn't know that he should tell Gongzi about this matter? Or should I hide it from my son and not tell my son?

Just now, when he went to the pantry to serve tea, he heard the cook and Mrs. Ma, who was waiting in Feng Lao'an's house, talk about what happened in the front hall today, and a distinguished guest came to the Gu Mansion today, it was the little county lord Mu, who had a marriage contract with his son!

As soon as the little county lord Mu saw the girl of the Gu family, he spoke, with a gun and a stick, and said to the girl of the Gu family in front of everyone that he wanted the girl of the Gu family to be her maid and take her to travel to Punpu.

When Shi heard his mother-in-law say this, he immediately felt sorry for the Gu family girl, how could the Gu family girl be a young lady, how could she be a maid who served people? Although she is the county lord, she can't be so unscrupulous.

Looking at the stone with his head down, he looked thoughtful, thinking that he was thinking about something and was about to tell him.

But after waiting for most of the day, the stone didn't say a word, and still stood in place in a daze.

Jiang Zhiming's heart suddenly became angry, his face had already changed slightly, and when he was about to have a seizure, he heard the stone come unhurriedly.

"Childe, the little county lord Mu has arrived in Pengpu, and now he lives in our house, this old lady Feng called the Gu family girl over, and the distinguished guest she said is the little county lord Mu."

"What? The little county lord of Lijiang Mu Wangfu arrived in Pengpu and now lives in the mansion, what is going on?"

Jiang Zhiming obviously didn't believe it, how could the rumored Mu Xiaojun Lord suddenly come to Pengpu now?

Could it be that he came for him?

Jiang Zhiming was puzzled in his heart, but after thinking about it, it shouldn't be. Not to mention that his mother has gone to Lijiang to divorce Princess Mu, and he is the little lord of Mu, and he doesn't know that he is in Pengpu now.

So when she came to Punpu, she must not have come to him.

But he once had a marriage contract with her, and now he lives in the Gu Mansion, when he goes out in the future, he has to pay attention, don't meet the little county lord Mu.

The wind outside grew stronger, blowing the silver charcoal in the stove into flames, and the flames danced in the wind, and the silver charcoal burned faster.

Closed the window facing Jiang Zhiming's Luohan couch, tightened the bolt, turned around, and said again.

"Childe, you used to have a marriage contract with Lord Mu Xiaojun, although your wife has already withdrawn from the marriage, can you guarantee that the Lord Mu Xiaojun did not hate Childe? Now that Lord Mu Xiaojun lives in the mansion, the prince is still cautious. ”

Jiang Zhiming said 'um' and ordered the stone to go down.

Lying on the soft Luohan couch, Jiang Zhiming was still thinking about Mu Xiaojun's rash visit, this matter, he still had to ask the second grandmother to ask clearly, what did it mean to visit her old man.

The study of the South Courtyard, Gu Lihua's study.

Because there were some problems with the account handed over by Zhuangzi outside the city, Gu Lihua went to Zhuangzi to check the accounts, took the account book of Zhuangzi and the account book in the house, and checked the account in the study.

Cai dragged the weak sick body to take a look, and without saying a few words, Gu Lihua ordered his subordinates to carry Cai out.

Seeing Cai's walk away, Aunt Hong ordered someone to carry the food box and go to the study.

Pushing open Gu Lihua's study, Aunt Hong took the food box in the maid's hand, and placed the bowl of beef noodles in the food box on the carved hollow high table next to the bookcase.

Gu Lihua threw it and looked at the account book in his hand, hurriedly glanced at it, threw it aside, grabbed another book from the pile of books, swept it a few times, and then threw it at Aunt Hong's feet.

In the end, after reading seven or eight books, his face, which was still as plain as water, instantly turned blue and red, grabbed an account book on the bookcase, and smashed it heavily on the high table.

"What kind of ledger are these? Do those bankers really mean that I don't know anything? Such a big Zhuangzi earns only a few hundred taels a year, what about the rest of the money? It's all in the pockets of the head of the village! ”

Seeing that Gu Lihua was in a hurry, Aunt Hong immediately asked the maid to send a cup of tea, but before the maid walked to Gu Lihua's side, the tea cup in her hand was knocked over by Gu Lihua.

The maid was immediately burned by the tea, but she didn't dare to shout half a word, for fear of hitting the muzzle of the gun, Gu Lihua was angry with her.
