Chapter 441: Too Poor
Zheng Shizi said very naturally: "I will give out the money and let her represent the Hou Mansion and run around the places where my father has guarded." After a circle, half a year has passed. She is also her father's main room, and she should accompany her father for half a year. β
Wu'an Hou has guarded Xuanfu for many years, stayed in Kaiping for two years, and is now in Datong. Although they are all border towns, they are not remote, and they are indeed very suitable, but Zheng Zhi still has some hesitation. Zheng Shizi was upset, kicked him, and scolded angrily: "If you have something to say, it's not as good as your daughter-in-law's little girl." β
"My mother is fifty years old, and she is pampered on weekdays, and she runs around like this all year round, I'm afraid I can't stand it, right?"
It turned out to be this, Zheng Shizi said: "You can ask her if she can stand it." She has never suffered anything in her life, and her health is so good. It's not a good thing to be pampered, only by moving around more can you be as tough as your father. β
That's right.
Wu Anhou is seventy years old, and his body is still very strong.
"Then I'll mention it to my mother tomorrow."
Before that, Zheng Zhixian mentioned it to his wife and consulted his wife's opinion. Gu Yao replied in a very affirmative and sure tone: "There is no better way than this!" Just like I asked the fourth sister to go out to see the world, the purpose is the same. The difference is that the mother costs a lot of silver to see the world. Even if I thought about it before, I couldn't do it. β
More importantly, it accurately grasped the lifeblood of the Jiang family. patrolling the border as Mrs. Wu'anhou, with an absolutely long face.
Zheng Zhi saw that his daughter-in-law said the same thing, and he was relieved.
Gu Yao thought that his small treasury was quite rich, but he was always manipulated by Shizi Second, so he had to ask Zheng Zhi: "Big brother seems to be very rich?" The kind that is richer than the Hou Mansion. β
"Looks?"
"It looks like it."
"It's not a good explanation." After Zheng Zhi made a judgment, he didn't bother with this word, hesitated for a moment, and talked to Gu Yao about Zheng Shizi's level of tyrants, "Since the first time Zheng Dajian went to sea, the eldest brother used the name of the sister-in-law to purchase half a ship's cargo. In recent years, Guangdong can run to the sea, and the eldest brother has invested 200,000 taels of silver in the largest maritime businessman, but as far as I know, there is no compensation. β
At this time, Gu Yao covered his chest and sighed: "You must not let Feifei know, otherwise she must be very heartbroken." Ah, no, so the richest person in the family is the sister-in-law? Starting tomorrow, I will often run to the Hou Mansion and saddle the horse for my sister-in-law! β
Zheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then cracked his mouth and smiled.
He never told Gu Yao this, because he was afraid of being compared. I really think too much, who is his daughter-in-law! How can you care about these blockages! Zheng Zhi immediately summed up, but he couldn't suppress the doubt in his heart, and asked Gu Yao: "Why don't you let me learn from Big Brother?" β
"You?" Gu Yao looked at Zheng Zhi with disgust and came to a conclusion, "Letting you learn from your eldest brother to get money is like forcing my eldest brother to study, the effect is really limited, not to mention, I am still troubled." β
One sentence lost two, Zheng Zhi was so angry that he fell asleep wrapped in the quilt.
As Zheng Shizi expected, as soon as he heard that he could leave the cage of the Hou Mansion and do something with face, the smile on Jiang's face never stopped. As for what Zheng Zhi was worried about, Jiang said very sensibly: "No matter how hard you work, can you work harder than your father?" β
Just go.
Mrs. Shizi hurriedly prepared more than a dozen carts of grain and cloth, and this station was not far away, and Kaiping was chosen, and it was only in April that the Jiang family left the capital.
Jiang Yu was just told there, as an "old" brother for many years, Jiang Yu kept asking.
Zheng Zhi is not good at saying the original intention of the eldest brother, and he is not good at nonsense. Gu Yao is different, depicting the picture of Jiang's travel, and saying that being able to see the scenery everywhere is something she dreams of. He also told Fu Shi about the people, things, and things he saw when he went south before, which made Fu Shi feel moved.
Jiang Yu also remembered his dream when he was a teenager, so he asked his stepson: "Can you want to walk around?" β
What teenager wouldn't want to go out and wave? Considering the situation at home, Feng Jin said: "My son should read the book first." β
I just want to, but I don't want to go now.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles are indispensable. Don't worry about the money, although I am not rich, I still have a few hundred taels of silver a year for you to go out for a walk. β
As for the source of the silver, it was not easy to ask on the surface, Zheng Zhi wanted to make up for it in private, and Jiang Yu said that he had saved some; The Fu family didn't want him to use the Jiang family's ancestral property to raise Feng Jin, and Jiang Yubian said that it was made up by Zheng Zhi and his family. As for actually going out, Jiang Yu didn't say anything, and he didn't need to say it.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather was surprisingly hot, everyone was too lazy to go out, and Gu Yao held back for a few days. Until this day, I had to go out and go to Huaihua Temple Hutong with Gu Zhen to celebrate Gu Ying's birthday.
After dinner, the children of Zheng and Yang played in the shade of the tree, although they were sweating profusely, but everyone was smiling. Gu Ying, who hadn't seen the child for more than half a year, saw it in his eyes, and his heart was sour, so he took out the matter he had discussed with Zhou Li in the past few days and said to Gu Yao and Gu Zhen: "Can I go home and take the children over?" β
Gu Yao had already received the prompt from Mother Feng, snorted coldly in his heart, and encouraged in his mouth: "Naturally, you can." How many kids are you going to pick up, though? Where are you here? β
Gu Jun arrived at Huaihua Temple Hutong, and Zhou Li's family moved to the West Courtyard, leaving the main courtyard to Gu Jun to live alone.
I only heard Gu Yingdao: "Naturally, all the children have been picked up." The west courtyard is about the same size as the main courtyard, which is enough for our family. Next year, if the husband wins, we will find a house and move out; If you don't win, you should just let the children go to Beijing to play. β
"Doesn't the dead brother-in-law still have many concubines? All coming? The children are here, and your in-laws are dead to such a son as your brother-in-law, and they are also coming, right? This is our Gu family's house, raising the Zhou family's concubine and concubine, is your brain kicked by a donkey, or is there no one in our Gu family? β
Zhou Li made a request that the sisters should be like men, only ranked according to the second room, but Gu Zhen refused in person. The reason is that we have a very good relationship with sisters, so we like to add rankings from sisters!
If you don't want to be a dead brother-in-law and a dead brother-in-law, no way!
Gu Ying didn't expect Gu Zhen to react so much, and hurriedly explained: "At most, I will live until May next year, not for a year." The husband said that he would give the Gu family money. β
He really wants to scold people, he pretends to give money, can the Gu family be embarrassed to accept it? How can Gu Zhen's violent temper stand this? She said: "This house has been vacant for many years and has not been rented out, which shows that the Gu family has silver, and it is not bad for this bit of silver." β
"In that case, let's stay for a year and a half, can't you?"
Gu Yao grabbed the violent Gu Zhen and said, "It will definitely not work next year." Did the fourth sister forget, my father will recover next year. The big house in Mao'er Hutong has nothing to do with our second room. Where do you live here, so where do you live with your father and mother? β
Gu Zhen repeated Zhou Li's words: "Daddy's recovery is not a day or two to find a suitable position, when he settles down, we will move out." β
"You're talking about ordinary people. In our family, my father is not ready to take any important positions, ordinary idle positions, with the in-laws of the Gu family, can be settled after the year. I don't object to the fourth sister picking up people, it's just that it's inconvenient to live in the Gu family. Since the fourth brother-in-law has the money to rent a house, then I will be generous. Do you remember the house that Mrs. Lu had to give me back then? β
Gu Ying knew about this, so he nodded.
Gu Yao said: "That house is in the two alleys north of Guozijian, if you liveβ"
"Didn't you rent it out? It's not appropriate to chase people, right? Gu Zhen couldn't help but interject.
Gu Yao said: "Well, my lease is out, and the house next door is still empty." Let me make peace with it, let Mrs. Lu rent it to the fourth sister cheaper, okay? β
The location is even better, Gu Ying said, "Wait for me to discuss it with my husband." β
At this time, someone from the Zheng family came and reported: "Madam, Mrs. Jiang's uncle is not very good." β
