Chapter 62: Comparison
The old lady looked at Ming Shu and didn't speak, even if what Ling Ling said was true, it was actually very surprising that she had such an insight and judgment.
"Grandmother is not angry?"
Mingshu only smiled with her face up.
The old man said angrily: "Let's go, I already have a plan in my heart about Sanniang's marriage, not to mention that the marriage with the prince can be discussed." ”
Mingshu was relieved at this time.
……
As soon as Lin came out of the courtyard, his face was lowered.
In her opinion, this marriage could not be better. The old lady couldn't see that their second room was good, so she stopped them alive and dead.
Gu Mingchu is doing embroidery with her grandmother, she has always been delicate, and she has never used needles and threads. But now that the marriage is about to be engaged, the Lin family gave a death order, and they had to follow suit.
As soon as he saw Lin coming, he hurriedly threw away the embroidered bandage.
Lin glanced at the embroidery basket, and said angrily: "I have only embroidered a few stitches, according to your habits, I'm afraid I don't want to embroider until next year!" ”
Although Gu Mingchu is arrogant and can't listen to unpleasant words, he has long been used to the Lin family, and he is too lazy to be annoyed, "A-Niang, how can I embroider these things." ”
As he spoke, he was a little unhappy, "You can say that you will never find me those poor people." ”
Lin Shi still blocked his heart in one breath, and said, "You still pick!" As soon as her eyes flickered, the maid withdrew with her eyes down, "Your grandmother refuses to tell you about the third prince, which is too much, but I am afraid that your granddaughter will not be able to go anywhere!" ”
Gu Mingchu also pouted, stomped his foot and gritted his teeth, "Grandmother has always disliked me. ”
Lin snorted coldly, "She only hopes that the girl in the third room is good, I'm afraid that you will gain momentum and can't suppress our second room, and there is no one to support the seven girls." ”
Gu Mingchu gritted his teeth and didn't speak.
There was a knock on the door outside, and the maid next to Lin came in and whispered a few words to her.
Only then did Lin turn his anger into suspicion, and he pondered for a while.
She was afraid that Gu Mingchu would be angry, so she suppressed the anger in her heart, and changed the topic: "You sisters are in one place all day, do you know what Ling Ling has done?" ”
Gu Mingchu said: "I've been embroidering in the house all day, where do I know what she does." ”
"Today, someone saw Mingshu change into men's clothes and pretend to be Xiao Langjun and go to Baohua Building." Lin felt a little funny, and the good little lady pretended to be Lang Jun.
"Baohua Building?" Gu Mingchu thought about it, and suddenly remembered something, "Ah Niang, it is said that a batch of new jewelry has been released on Baohua Road, the kind that Princess Yiyang wore in Prince Gong's mansion last time, and many people want to buy it." ”
She can't even get out of the door, let alone Tianzi, and she is angry when she thinks about it.
Lin Shi was angry when he saw his daughter's elm head, and couldn't help but knock a chestnut before saying, "You really have eaten for a few years more than Mingshu in vain!" ”
Although Gu Mingchu was not convinced, he had no choice but to listen.
"Baohua Building is the property of Mingshu's ancestor Li family, you said that she went there under the name of her cousin, and the steward was respectful to her, what happened?"
Gu Mingchu twisted the silk thread in his hand and muttered, "Could it be that her uncle gave Baohualou to her?" A few years ago, her uncle gave her a tea shop, but she made a lot of money...... The ones she's worn over the years are far better than those of us......"
Speaking of which, it's Lin's who is also sour.
Although the Lin family's maiden family is Jingzhong Houfu, she is a concubine, although she is not shabby when she marries, she can be regarded as someone to support her, but there is really no one to think about her.
She glanced at her daughter, although her heart was sour, but she had to say bitterly: "You don't have to be envious, your mother is not as good as her mother, the delicate daughter offered by several in-laws and uncles...... Although your uncle is not promising, he is always thinking about our mothers and sons. ”
Gu Mingchu let out a sullen "um", she understood the reason, but envy was another matter.
Lin patted Gu Mingchu and said, "I was raised by my aunt, it was really not easy at that time, and I relied on your uncle to protect me." Ah Chu, you want to repay your uncle for Ah Niang, understand? ”
Gu Mingchu looked stunned, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Auntie, Ling Ling has so many shops in his hands, probably very profitable, right?"
Lin was stunned, Gu Mingchu didn't go out today, and the news was also cut off by her, so she still thought so.
She does have a real correspondence, not to mention the large sum of money in the tea shop, and the rice and noodle shop has accumulated a lot of savings in a few years, and it is a huge harvest.
As for the Baohua Building, today's group of noble ladies can't even stand the shelf, so they spend all their money to buy that Huadian.
Even a beauty like Princess Yiyang has arrived, not to mention the rest, you don't have to think about it to know that it is a day of money.
Lin clenched his fingers, only to lose his mind and said, "Who knows how much money you can earn......
Gu Mingchu angrily threw away the silk thread in his hand, "A good lady from a good family, what do you want so many shops to do, and you will go out to take care of it yourself...... Plain white stained with copper stench! ”
Lin subconsciously wanted to refute, and moved his thin lips, but he didn't say anything.
She only sat beside Gu Mingchu, flicked her sideburns for Gu Mingchu, and said, "Ah Chu, only we know about this, don't you have to say it, understand?" ”
I was afraid that Gu Mingchu would not care, so he said with a straight face: "If you can blow the wind for your grandmother, maybe you can have such a shop, and you will have a time to marry in the future." ”
Gu Mingchu's eyes lit up, but he lowered his eyes and said, "This doesn't matter. She looked at Lin, "Mother, I will definitely not leak the information you inquired about in private." ”
Lin nodded with satisfaction.
After leaving from Gu Mingchu, Gu Mingchu glanced at the embroidery basket and pushed it aside angrily.
What kind of embroidery do you learn? She doesn't make clothes from the future.
The maid Mulberry came up and timidly persuaded: "Lady, Mrs. still has to check it at night." ”
Gu Mingchu didn't raise his eyelids, and choked: "When will the master do things, and it will be your turn to interject?" ”
Qiu Li, who had Gu Mingchu's face the most, hurriedly said: "Go down quickly, don't get in the way of the lady's eyes." ”
Mulberry had red eyes, saluted, and said softly: "It's the maid who should slap his mouth." ”
Gu Mingchu was upset, and when she heard this, she couldn't help frowning, but Qiu Li took the first step to say angrily for her: "Don't talk nonsense all day long, you just know how to make the lady unhappy, why don't you really slap your mouth!" ”
Gu Mingchu felt that Qiu Li was a little too much, but as soon as these words came out, her heart was much happier. What's more, Qiu Li is for her.
She didn't say anything more, and Mulberry retreated.
Qiu Li funnly poured Gu Mingchu a cup of pear water to moisten his throat, and said softly: "Why is the lady unhappy?" ”
Gu Mingchu took a sip casually, feeling uncomfortable, and couldn't help muttering: "Ling Ling has a shop given by his uncle, and his grandmother's like, but I can't even find a good marriage......"
Qiu Li's eyes rolled, and she leaned into Gu Mingchu's ear and whispered something.
