Ying returned to the house, and after discussing with the old lady through this matter, the Gu family released all the older girls in the house, and those who did not want to leave the house were matched with small servants. I also found someone to buy twenty or thirty little girls and put them in the house to be trained by a special person for later use.

There is a big girl named Shen'er in Jiang Yuanhang's room, who is eighteen years old, looks enchanting and charming, and refuses to go out because the second master likes it, so she makes trouble in front of Aunt Zhou.

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she returned it and went straight to Guiyuntang to complain.

At this time, the old lady was worried about what was going on in Yuanhang's house.

Gu said a few days ago, seeing that the voyage was about to get married, a few girls in the house were really uncomfortable, should they let a few out, lest the second grandmother enter the door and her face will not look good.

Gu's words were cautious, which fully reflected the embarrassment of his mother-in-law, for fear that one would accidentally offend her concubine.

The old lady was quite satisfied with Gu's cautiousness, and asked Gu to release the one named Shen'er first. said that this girl looks like a wave, and she dresses up all day long, which is very disdainful. The others, more on that later.

Aunt Zhou took Shen'er into the old lady's house, asked for peace, and had a crackling meal and spit splashing, completely ignoring the old lady's increasingly heavy face.

Mama Qian was secretly anxious on the side, desperately trying her best to give Aunt Zhou.

Shen'er on the side saw it, and secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly ripped Aunt Zhou's clothes. However, Aunt Zhou is talking about Xingtou, where can she stop.

The old lady waved her hand, and the fine blue and white tea cup fell in response, and Aunt Zhou was so frightened that she took three steps back, covering her heart and looking at the old lady inexplicably.

When the old lady saw her expression, she was angry and shouted, "Kneel!" ”

Aunt Zhou saw that the old lady was really angry, so she reluctantly knelt down.

The old lady looked coldly at the two people kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "Come on, call someone to come and tie up this." Sell it, our Jiang Mansion can't tolerate people who chew their tongues. ”

A few mothers-in-law at the door immediately took a thick hemp rope, three times and two times, and tied the person firmly and dragged him out. Shen'er didn't have time to react. When the person arrived outside the house, he cried out in fear, and cried out one after another: "The old lady spares her life, the old lady spares her life, and the slave and maid don't dare anymore......"

Aunt Zhou listened to the crying in a daze, and she was inexplicably scared in her heart.

The old lady has been in the top position for decades, and her angry momentum is naturally extraordinary, which is completely different from the kind and kind appearance in the past, so she only heard her say coldly: "Aunt Zhou, let Shen'er out." That's what I mean. Not only her, but a few in the Yuanhang house, I have to let them out. ”

Only then did Aunt Zhou understand why the old lady was angry, and she felt remorseful in her heart, and blamed herself for not figuring it out. I was dizzy after being instigated by that girl, and cried at the moment: "Auntie, don't be angry, I was wrong, it was all instigated by the dead girl." She said that the second wife was trying to hit me in the face, so she was released. ”

The old lady saw that she was soft and sighed: "People in their thirties. was provoked by a girl with a few words, and ran to me to ask the teacher, where have you lived? In three months, your son's big day, the grandmother will come into the house and have to save some face for her. How can there be a girl in the main room who has not yet entered the door, and the girl in the room has filled the master? ”

"Auntie?" Aunt Zhou is still a little unclear.

The old lady shook her head.

"The eldest grandmother is from a serious family, looking at the chaos in the master's room, do you want the face of the Jiang family? When they get married, take a break. Find an excuse and choose a few good ones for the second master, which makes sense. The elder gave it, and he didn't dare to resign, at that time, whether the second grandmother could cage the second master's heart or not, it all depended on her own ability. You can't even figure out this idea, how can you beat the second wife? Look at your appearance, let me tell you what's good! ”

Aunt Zhou cried: "Auntie, what you said is right, I listen to you." ”

"It's just a few slaves and maids, and their lives are pinched in your hands, is it worth your shouting and jumping up and down? If you are really good for your son, you can't afford to spend money to buy a few colored ones, train them, and then reward them when the time comes. You bought people, you trained them, naturally listen to you, are you afraid that your son will marry a daughter-in-law and forget his mother? Son, daughter-in-law, you have been a good person, why not? It's only a few months, why can't you wait? ”

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she suddenly opened her mouth, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Aunt is wise!" ”

When the old lady saw Zhou Xiuyue's expression, she felt a little blocked, and sent the person away in a few words, and said to Mama Qian on the side: "Look, I got carried away in a few words, when will I change this temperament?" ”

Mama Qian smiled: "What can be changed from my mother's belly?" Isn't the old lady still in the same temper as she was back then? ”

The old lady said coldly: "If I changed my temper back then, didn't that cheap maid named Shen'er be killed on the spot?" Dare to stir up trouble in front of the master, it's really boring. Go and tell the second wife, the rest of the Yuanhang room have also been sent to me. ”

"Yes! The slave and maid will go and talk to the second wife in a while. ”

"Come, help me into the house to rest, it's hot, I can't get up and down, I just want to be crooked."

Mama Qian held the old lady and said as she walked: "The old lady still has to move more, and walk around the garden twice in the morning and evening......

……

On the morning of July 26, as soon as the gate of Jiang's Mansion opened, there were people waiting outside the door, claiming to be a man from Jinjue Pavilion, waiting to see the second wife.

Gu had just waited for the master to get up, and when he saw someone from Jinjue Pavilion coming, he knew that there must be something important, so his mind turned slightly, and he said angrily to his man: "Second master, this Jinjue Pavilion is really good at doing business, and it has come to the door." ”

Jiang Hongsheng just put on his clothes, stroked his chin and said with a smile: "But the Jinjue Pavilion in Suzhou Mansion, I heard that it has also opened a store in the capital, and the business is doing well." Invite people in, ask what is going on, and early in the morning, they will wait outside the house. ”

The young man entered the hall, and after looking at himself secretly, he knelt down and said: "Second wife, let me inform you that there is a new batch of jewelry in Suzhou Mansion, and there are few of them, so I specially invite you to take a look." The second wife said last time that she wanted to find some furnishings in the new house for the second son in the house, and this time she also had good luck. ”

"But the money shopkeeper of Suzhou Mansion?"

The guy said smartly: "Exactly, our owner saw that the business of Suzhou Mansion was doing well, so he deliberately transferred the money shopkeeper to the capital." The second wife is a regular customer of Jinjue Pavilion in Suzhou Mansion, which makes me stay at the door of the mansion early in the morning. ”

As soon as he heard that it was an old man, Jiang Hongsheng smiled at the Gu family and said: "This money shopkeeper really knows how to do business, and he specially sent someone to know it early in the morning, and it is strange that Jinjue Pavilion is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Gu Shi said angrily: "Master, the money shopkeeper is not afraid that I will let him find something, and he doesn't want it, right?" That's why Baba stood guard at the door. ”

The guy said sweetly: "The second wife said that she was joking, it was the second wife who said last time that the second son of Fuzhong got married in October, and now it is July, and the money shopkeeper said that if the second wife is not eye-catching, there is still time to find a good one, so I dare not delay." ”

Jiang Hongsheng felt comfortable when he heard this, squinted his eyes, and looked at Gu Shi gently without making a sound.

Gu Shi chirped: "Don't laugh, master, the first time I am a mother-in-law, I will inevitably make a big fuss, I am afraid that people will see the jokes." After the two small ones, they will have experience. ”

Jiang Hongsheng smiled proudly, got up and rewarded two taels of silver to the guy, sent someone out to wait, turned around and whispered in Gu's ear: "Yuzhen, tonight, I will listen to you." ”

Gu Shi said with a red face: "Bah, I am not serious, I will take Xin Yao with me today, this girl has a better vision than me, if we take a fancy to something, you will pay for the silver." ”

Jiang Hongsheng punned: "I am willing to serve my wife!" ”

Gu broke free from Jiang Hongsheng in a hurry, and before leaving, he didn't forget to pinch his waist fiercely, which hurt Jiang Hongsheng grinning, but he was in a good mood, humming a little song and leaving the house.

After the second master left, the young man approached and whispered in Gu's ear: "Second wife, Mrs. Xu can't do it, I want to see the fourth lady, hurry up, I'm afraid it's too late!" ”

Gu Shi was so shocked that he dropped the handkerchief in his hand.

"Second wife?"

Gu Shi returned to his soul and said busily: "You go back first, and the fourth lady and I will come later." Come on, call Xia He and Chunlan to me."

As soon as Xia He entered the house, he saw the second wife's thoughtful look, Xia He stepped forward to pick up the handkerchief on the ground and gently stuffed it into the second wife's hand.

Xia He married the son of the housekeeper half a year ago, and he was still on an errand in front of the Gu family during the day.

Seeing that it was her, Gu Shi hurriedly beckoned, and said a few words in Xia He's ear.

Xia He's face was solemn, and he thought for a long time before replying: "Second wife, let the old lady let the slave go!" At this time, I'll let the house prepare the car first. On the fourth lady's side, let Chunlan report the news. ”

Xia He did things, Gu Shi has always been relieved, but he still explained carefully, and only then did he stabilize his mind.

……

An hour later, Xin Yao's mother and daughter, Chunlan and Weiyun, got down from the carriage.

Gu Shi took out two taels of silver and handed them to the old Zhang Tou and Lao Li Tou who were driving the carriage, saying that they would go back later today, let them find a teahouse to rest, and wait at the door of Jinjue Pavilion after eating.

The money shopkeeper bowed up, attracted people to enter the door, turned around and closed the door of the store, and said in a low voice: "Miss, quick, the carriage of the master is waiting at the back door." ”

Xin Yao pulled Gu and said to the money shopkeeper: "Money shopkeeper, my mother has handed it over to you, be sure to greet you." ”

Without waiting for the money shopkeeper to reply, he said to Gu again: "Mother, let the money shopkeeper accompany you to choose a few things you like, and I'll go first." Don't worry, it's nothing serious, wait for me to come back with peace of mind. ”

Gu Shi held Xin Yao's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everything here has me, you just go, be careful in everything." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Miss, just hand over the second wife to me, let's go, the whole master has been waiting for a long time." ”

The mother and daughter glanced at each other, and Xin Yao hurried away with a slight cloud.

……

In the main hall of Guiyun Hall.

The old lady was laughing with Aunt Zhou's mother and daughter, and the little girl came to report, and Xia He, who was in front of the second wife, asked to see the old lady.

The old lady was wondering that Gu's mother and daughter didn't come over to say hello this morning, so she hurriedly called Xia He in. (..)
