Chapter 326: Master is Hard to Do
Gu Yutang looked at the back room where Aunt Hong was in front of him, glanced coldly at Ah Hua beside him, and said, "We have all come here, where is the reason to go back?" If you are afraid of your grandmother and want to go back on an errand, I will not stop you, so go ahead! ”
Gu Yutang said, ignoring Ah Hua beside him, and walked forward alone. No matter where Aunt Hong is, what kind of jackal, tiger and leopard nest is, she has to go and break into it in person, and see what Aunt Hong has taken to blackmail the pink one?
Ah Hua watched his girl walk in front of him, but did not reach out to stop her, but followed her closely.
"Girl, the slave maid is the wife who pointed to you to serve, before coming to Punpu, the wife once called the slave and the maid to her side, and the wife wants the slave and the maid to take good care of the girl, so the slave and the maid will definitely protect the girl well. It won't be that the girl was bullied by those villains. ”
Ah Hua said this behind Gu Yutang, Gu Yutang listened to it, but did not say anything more, neither let Ah Hua go, nor let Ah Hua go.
Ah Hua has always followed her and never left.
The main house of Ruiyue Courtyard is the house where Aunt Hong rests. Aunt Hong was idle and bored in the house, so she called Shui Lu and took a few notebooks from Bo Gu's shelf, she glanced at it a few times, threw it on the soft couch on the side, and reprimanded Shui Lu who was waiting beside her.
"Why are these Chen sesame rotten grains still in the script, Shui Lu, what are you doing these days? Didn't I tell you to call the steward of the outer courtyard and go to Sheng Fang's study to sell a few new books? Why are these books still there?"
Aunt Hong reprimanded Shui Lu on the one hand, and picked up the tea cup handed over by Shui Lu on the other hand, and hurriedly took a few sips.
"Madam, there are many things in the courtyard, and the slave and maid have not had time to tell the maid to call the steward of the outer courtyard to come in.
In addition, a few days ago, when the slave maid ordered someone to invite the steward of the outer courtyard to come over, the housekeeper's mother-in-law said that the lady did not have the key to the house in her hand, and the people in the outer courtyard could not obey the lady's deployment for the time being. The woman also said that if the lady wanted to instruct the maid and lady in their outer courtyard to do errands, she would have to take the key to the house's pair. ”
Shui Lu was afraid of upsetting Aunt Hong in front of her again, so she quickly pushed all those things onto the housekeeper in the outer courtyard.
Hearing Shui Lu say this, the anger in Aunt Hong's heart suddenly surged, and she put the tea cup in her hand on the high table on the side, and asked a few words coldly.
"Is that really what the housekeeper of the outer court told you?"
Shui Lu didn't dare to speak, so he had to nod.
Looking at Shui Lu and nodded, Aunt Hong slapped the high table next to her, shaking the high table a few times.
"Aren't the maids and servants who are serving in the outer courtyard just relying on the old lady behind to support them? Don't you just think that I don't have the key in my hand, so I have been bullied on my head several times?
When I get the key to the master's pair, see what I do with those slaves?"
Seeing that Aunt Hong's face was suddenly angry, Shui Lu hurriedly took the tea and handed it to Aunt Hong's hand.
"Madame, don't be angry, you can't be angry with your own body for those little hooves. Although the mothers-in-law who served in the outer courtyard had an old lady behind them to support them, the old lady had not taken care of things for a long time after all, and it was not the old lady who secretly instructed them, but the Qi family. ”
When Aunt Hong heard the word 'Qi Clan', she couldn't help but be suspicious in her heart, "You want to tell me that these things were secretly instructed by the Qi clan to do those old guys?"
Shui Lu nodded and replied: "Madam, the slave maid has already asked the maid who served in the outer courtyard, the housekeeper and the Qi family are more or less related to the deceased, and the Qi family also takes care of her, when I went to the outer courtyard a few days ago, I was going to invite the housekeeper to come, but she rejected me.
If it weren't for the Qi family supporting her behind her, how could such a mother-in-law dare to refuse Madame's invitation?"
Shui Lu said it clearly, which made Qi almost believe it for a while.
Ruiyue Courtyard has been run by Shui Lu these days, except for Peach, Aunt Hong's most trusted maid is the little girl named Shui Green in front of her.
It's a pity that this Shui Lu is bent on being the steward of the upper house, and during this time, she has used Aunt Hong's hand to get rid of many maids and women who want to compete with her for the position of steward.
Originally, her most feared opponent was Taohong, but now Taohong is locked up in the firewood room, and no one in this Gu Mansion dares to compete with her for the position of the housekeeper.
Aunt Hong looked at Shui Lu in front of her, and still had a trace of doubt about what Shui Lu had just said, when did the Qi family have such a great ability to call the maid in the outer courtyard for her to drive?
Besides, the Qi family is just the Gu Mansion who has been in charge for a period of time, could it be that he is a waiter in the outer court, and he values this and specially comes to slap her?
Aunt Hong was about to ask again, when she heard a maid waiting outside: "Madam, the third girl from the hall has come over, saying that she wants to say goodbye to Madame, I wonder if Madame will see it or not?"
Listening to the maid outside saying that Gu Yutang had arrived, Shui Lu opened the window on the side, and through the crack in the window, Shui Lu saw Gu Yutang standing under the porch, followed by a little maid who was waiting.
Seeing Gu Yutang outside the house, Shui Lu glanced at Aunt Hong, who was sitting on the soft couch, and saw that she didn't show a side expression on her face, so she asked.
"Madam, the three girls from the hall are here, I wonder if Madame would like to see her?"
"Since she's all the way here, how can she not see her? Besides, if I don't see her, and then she sues me in front of Feng Lao'an and Mrs. Lin, what can I do? It was windy outside, so I called the maid to invite her in! ”
After Aunt Hong finished talking, Shui Lu personally went out of the house and invited Gu Yutang, who was standing under the porch outside, in.
After entering the house, Aunt Hong called the maid to fill the hot water boiling on the stove with the soup woman, put on the flannel, and handed it to Gu Yutang.
Gu Yutang was also not polite, and after greeting Aunt Hong, he took the soup woman handed over by Shui Lu.
Smelling the incense burning in Aunt Hong's house, Gu Yutang secretly said in his heart, he didn't think that this Aunt Hong's house also used the agarwood incense from Nanyang, which was fragrant, not like an ordinary product, but like a tribute from the Shanggong Jingshi.
Looking at Gu Yutang, who was sitting on the embroidery stool, looking around at the furnishings in the room, Aunt Hong first instructed the maid to go down and prepare refreshments, and said.
"Sister Tang, I burned the agarwood incense that your sixth uncle sent over a few days ago. These days, my fetus moves so much that I can't sleep at night, and I have to smell this agarwood fragrance to fall asleep. ”
Listening to Aunt Hong's words, Gu Yutang glanced at Aunt Hong's gradually bulging lower abdomen, it seems that in a few months, it will be time for Aunt Hong to give birth.
It's just that if you want to give birth safely, why do you need to smoke incense in the house?
Could it be that this Aunt Hong doesn't know that this agarwood incense smells too much, and there is a risk of slippery tires?
Gu Yutang didn't want to meddle in things, and then intervened in these trivial matters of Aunt Hong, which directly explained her intention.
"Presumably Mrs. also knows, the purpose of Tang'er's coming over this time, Taohong's younger brothers and sisters, are in Mrs. Ruiyue Courtyard, right?"
