"How?"

Gu Yao asked casually, and Mother Deng immediately said quickly: "Second Aunt Zhang first said that she had been locked up by the second lady for a long time and wanted to walk around the yard. After Sister Wang asked, the old lady agreed. After a while, she asked Sister Wang to ask for five or six small things, and the old lady was annoyed, so she said let her decide by herself. So, she told Sister Wang that she wanted to go outside. ”

Mother Wang's person is the most rigid, so it's no wonder that she can agree. Gu Yao thought so, his feet did not stop, and he walked out of the courtyard gate. Mother Deng saw Han Xiangyu Niang walking towards this, and immediately followed, and said the last sentence: "The slave persuaded Sister Wang not to agree, so she stopped the person." ”

Gu Yao also saw the two, so he stopped and said to Mother Deng: "Well, I know, you go back to serve your mother." ”

Seeing Gu Yao and his party go away, Mother Deng stood at the door and thought carefully for a while, only to suddenly realize that she was in a hurry to stammer Gu Yao, and she had forgotten her serious master! Hey, the third lady has already had a bad impression there, but you can't ask the old lady to have an opinion! After Deng's mother came back to her senses, she trotted all the way to see Jiang.

Gu Yao originally planned to finish the housework and go to see the little Zhang again. According to Tang Xiangxiang's prediction, she will give birth before April. Now, it's less than half a month. She would rather work hard for half a month than let Wu Anhou have an opinion.

Yes, she can ignore Aunt Zhang, but Wu'anhou still has to care. Zheng Yong is a concubine, but he is the second son of Wu'an Hou. When Zheng Yong was established immediately, if the belly of Xiao Zhang's was really his flesh and blood, even if he was a concubine or a child, it was his only heir, and he had to care.

As a result, without waiting for Gu Yao to go to see Xiao Zhang's family, the family was already accompanied by Wang's mother and wanted to enter the Peace Hall. Listening to the report from the next person, Gu Yao, who was calculating the accounts energetically, didn't want to think: "Where did you come from, where did you send it back?" ”

When Xiao Zhang heard this unkind remark outside the hall, his face remained unchanged, and he only said to the mother-in-law who passed the message: "I was negligent." The third lady thought that she was very busy, and she asked her mother to pass the word, and it was all my fault that my mother was blamed. ”

After seeing Xiao Zhang's leave, the mother-in-law took a sip and said, "Poor and shameless." ”

In the half month since Xiao Zhang's appearance, everyone knows that she is a sweet-mouthed person who never spends money, and she is not as good as the second lady. Moreover, the second lady Zhang is the serious owner of the Zheng family, what is this little Zhang? Relatives are not relatives, slaves and maids are not slaves. Thinking of this, this mother-in-law even complained to Gu Yao, blaming her for not giving Xiao Zhang's name as soon as possible. If it is an aunt, even if it is a favored aunt, they are the housekeepers with heads and faces, because they are protected by the princess, they don't need to bow their heads at all.

Gu Yao was waiting, waiting for Jiangxi's reply.

This is nearly 2,000 kilometers to Jiangxi, 4,000 miles away, and it is 800 miles to expedit, which will make no news. What's more, in addition to the emergency military situation, where is the eight hundred miles expedited available? Gu Yao's ability, three hundred miles is already the limit. The best case scenario is to get the news before Xiao Zhang's production.

Let's say that the little Zhang family who left did not go elsewhere, but only guarded Gu Yao in Wutong Garden.

Mother Wang asked puzzledly, "Why is Second Aunt Zhang so anxious to see the third lady?" ”

Xiao Zhang smiled and didn't speak. There was a sneer in my heart, I asked you and you didn't say anything, why should I tell you?

Wait until lunch. The Jiang family wanted to be free, so they sent someone to send a message to Gu Yao early and let her eat by herself. Gu Yao simply ate a big pot meal with everyone in Ping'an Hall. After the meal, immediately finish the matter and go back to rest.

When Gu Yao's figure disappeared outside the hall, all the housekeepers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Mother Xu's deputy, Mother Gu, sighed: "The third lady who was born in a scholarly family, when it comes to the accounts, she is really more shrewd than Mrs. Shizi, and it is really impossible to make a mistake." Those eyes, that head melon seeds, I don't know how they grow, can all tell her to find out. ”

Because she overreported two taels of silver for buying vegetables, she was even more aggrieved, she said: "A lady of the Hou Mansion is so clear about how much money she has for vegetables." Hey......"

Mother Gu couldn't hear this, and reprimanded the man: "You have gone too far, are you embarrassed to blame the third lady?" Two taels of silver, your monthly money for two months! In a month, you earn more than the men in your family who work as servants, right? You get two taels, I'll get two taels, is there any silver available in this house? ”

The man was unconvinced: "You have no opinion, why are you complaining?" ”

Gu's mother said: "I'm tired and nagging a few words, why have I ever complained?" ”

Gu Yao didn't know what people were saying about her, and she wasn't interested. She is only in charge temporarily, she is a temporary worker, and there is no big problem at home, and she has no higher requirements. At this moment, she looked at Xiao Zhang expressionlessly.

Xiao Zhang waited in her yard all morning, and the first thing he saw when he saw her was to open his mouth to eat, which was very natural. When Gu Yao ordered someone to ask for food, after she was full of food and drink, not only was she not grateful, but she mentioned another thing openly: "Now that I am pregnant with the heir of the Zheng family, should I have a monthly payment?" ”

Therefore, it's not that Xiao Zhang doesn't know how to reward others, but that she really doesn't have any money. Her previous silver clothes had been scavenged by the Zhang family. The clothes were changed in the house, and the money was given, Gu Yao didn't know if it was intentional or what, so he didn't give anything.

Gu Yao lowered his eyebrows and pondered.

Xiao Zhang thought she was embarrassed, so he said: "The third lady is really embarrassed, even if I borrow the third lady, it is not much, two taels of silver, a thousand dollars is enough."

Han Xiang saw Gu Yao's handwriting draw a three, and gasped, but had to execute. Xiao Zhang's voice fell, and she said: "Look at what Aunt Zhang's grandmother said, a total of thousands of dollars, our wife has always been generous, you can give it away for nothing, why is it difficult?" Only one thing, don't say whether the child in your womb is the second master. Even if you don't even count the second master's concubine, this child is just an adulterous child, you still don't talk about the heirs of the Zheng family! ”

Mother Wang looked at Han Xiang in shock.

When she entered the Hou Mansion, she knew why the old lady was so humble, and why Gu Yao's family went to Tieling - Zheng Sanye was the son of the old lady and others! This is a topic that everyone avoids, and the third lady's dowry maid said it like this, it is really tight!

Gu Yao raised his eyebrows at this time, but he joked about Hanxiang, because he said: "You said so, if I don't pay this money, won't it make you faceless?" Let's not talk about you, just take all of them. ”

After speaking, Gu Yao said to Xiao Zhang, whose face was pale: "My maid is fast-talking, and Aunt Zhang's grandmother will take care of it." You don't have to borrow money, I'll give it to you. As for this child, if you are willing, I will open the net, say a request to the second sister-in-law, and then ask Miyun Zhixian to do a favor and give you a concubine paperwork, so that this child can have a serious identity as a concubine, okay? ”

Open the net! Without! Such words were in his ears, and Xiao Zhang was stunned.

This is fundamentally different from what Zheng Yong promised him!
