Chapter 80: The Seizure of Power (Part 1)
In the main hall of Songshou Temple, Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingyu looked at the old lady Gu with an ugly face with worry, and Luo Shi, who was sitting calmly on the lower seat, didn't know what to do for a while.
Gu Mingyue hesitated and called: "Ah Niang......"
Luo looked at the two sisters and nodded: "You go back to the courtyard first, I have something to say to the old lady." ”
Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingyu had no choice but to bend their knees and retreat.
There were only Old Madam Gu and Luo Shi left in the hall, Old Madam Gu looked at her gloomily, and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, you can say it, what else can you say if you do such a shameless and skinless thing!" ”
Luo smiled bitterly and said: "Ah Jia, I can't do anything about it, the old lady in the house over there is already too sick, if there is no one to hang on, I am afraid that I will not survive tomorrow, but what kind of day will it be tomorrow, where can such a thing happen." ”
She looked at the old lady Gu sadly: "Ah Jia, I have been doing my best in the house all these years, and this time it is also for Yueniang, if the old lady in the house is gone, even if Yueniang and I don't need to wear filial piety, after all, we will go to the house to kowtow, how can we still let us meet in the palace, the matter of the virtuous king ......"
She said that she was sincere, and the anger on Mrs. Gu's face also faded a little, but when she saw the two brocade boxes on the table, she remembered what Mao said, and she also gave her mother's head jewelry in private, and I don't know how much she has made up for it over the years, and Mrs. Gu's anger has risen again.
The door of the main hall of Songshou Temple was closed for more than half an hour before it opened, and when Luo Shi came out of it, her face was ugly and frightening, she slowly walked out, and called the maidservant to help her to Chunhui Hall.
After a while, the eldest lady was not in good health, and the news that the old lady personally took care of the middle feed spread all over the house, and the maids and maids were like pouring water in a boiling oil pot, and they all exploded.
Since the eldest lady Luo married into the mansion, the eldest lady has been in charge of the family for more than ten years, although the old lady is not satisfied with the eldest lady, but she is also very trusting, and she will leave the affairs of the mansion on both sides to her.
But now it's not good to say that it's not good to be light and fluttering, so it's all taken back.
From the outside, it seemed that Luo Shi had been given a step, taking care of her and Gu Gu Mingyue's faces, but no one in the house knew that there had been two troubles today, but I was afraid that something big had happened.
There was a good thing to want to go to Songshou Temple and Chunhui Hall to probe, but found that the doors on both sides of the courtyard were closed, and no one was allowed to enter, so I had to give up.
Mao Shi lost his face when he heard the news, and smacked hard: "Old immortal, I still want to hold on to myself at this time!" ”
Luo was pulled down, how could she let the second lady be in charge, but Old Madam Gu didn't mean anything at all, she still took care of the middle feed herself, and obviously didn't take her seriously.
She scolded a few words, and slowly wanted to turn around, no matter what, even if she didn't take the middle feed, after all, she still knocked down the Luo family, and it was a good thing that Mrs. Gu became the house, and she didn't have to worry about how many flowers she wanted in the second room in the future, who made Mrs. Gu feel the most sorry for this little son.
Gu Mingyue heard the news, but her face turned pale with fright, and she called the maidservant to walk quickly to Chunhui Hall. The affairs of the house Luo Shi never bothered her much, but let her follow to learn to make a little bit of feeds and learn to socialize, but she knew very little about the affairs of her grandfather An Ningbo's mansion, so she didn't know what kind of disaster those two pairs of ginseng had caused.
The door of the courtyard of Chunhui Hall was tightly closed, but the maid stepped forward and patted the door for a while before it opened, and when she saw that it was Gu Mingyue, the servant woman who was guarding the door hurriedly retreated, and said in a low voice: "Second lady, Madam has ordered, if the second lady comes, please come in." ”
Gu Mingyue didn't care to ask her more, so she took the maid into the courtyard, she wanted to ask to understand, her aunt was the rightful lady in this mansion, how could she be taken away from the power of the family.
There were curtains in the inner hall, only half of the windows were opened, and it was rare for Luo to not look like a housewife in a strict makeup dress, she was scattered and half lying on the couch in a homely old dress, looking sallow and a little haggard.
Seeing Gu Mingyue come in, she smiled reluctantly: "Yueniang is here, come and sit with me." ”
She only has this daughter to rely on now, just now in Songshou Courtyard, Mrs. Gu didn't have any affection, she opened her mouth to send her to Zhuangzi, she almost couldn't help the grievances and hatred in her heart, and she was about to burst out.
Speaking of which, she has been married into this mansion for more than ten years, Gu Qing has treated her as ordinary, the affection between husband and wife is as light as water, although she takes care of all the big and small things in the mansion, but how can Mrs. Gu's temperament of treating money as life be arranged by her, even the money and silver purchased every day in the kitchen have to be carefully asked, and every time there is any income, she must first get a large share before letting it enter the public account, no matter how powerful she is, she can only endure it.
has endured it for so many years, but now she is going to drive her to Zhuangzi for the sake of her mother's family, how can she be willing, how can she swallow this breath.
Old Madam Gu glanced at her, looking at her with a face full of unwillingness, and a little empty in her heart, after all, over the years, the Luo family has privately transferred money and silver from the public account to honor her, although this is the Gu family's wealth should honor her, but if the teacher knows that she privately uses money and silver to supplement Erlang, I am afraid that Erlang will be more annoyed and will not let him stay in Chang'an.
Just for this one, she can't tolerate it, she can't force Luo to be anxious, not to mention that there is a Gu Mingyue, she always has to take care of Gu Mingyue's reputation outside, if it is rumored that she has a mother who was driven to Zhuangzi, it is useless no matter how good her appearance is.
Gu Mingyue looked at her mother, who seemed to be several years old in an instant, and her eyes were slightly red: "A-Niang, what's wrong, why is the old lady ......?"
Luo smiled bitterly and pulled Gu Mingyue to sit down beside him: "It doesn't matter, it's just for me to cultivate for a while." ”
She looked at Gu Mingyue, looked at her daughter with a delicate and moving appearance and a well-looking appearance, and felt a lot better, but she solemnly instructed: "Yueniang, you can see, although your aunt is the lady who is married to the Ming media in this house, but after all, it is not as good as the one in front, you and Yu Niang are also concubines, but compared to the one in the East Mansion, the old lady can say that she can take away the power of my family today, and I can say a little more, it is not because there is no one to rely on." ”
Her smile became more and more bitter, but her eyes became more and more ruthless: "If your grandfather's family is not like this, it can also be powerful and prosperous, how can I suffer such a grievance today." You remember, no matter what, the most important thing is to get a good marriage, only when you get married, become a princess, become a queen, can you not be bullied, and I can raise my head in this mansion. ”
Her voice sank a little, and her face became a little cold: "No matter what, you can't miss this opportunity!" ”...
