Chapter Ninety-Eight: Outrageously Stupid (Part 1)
Old Madam Gu looked at Mama Qu who was kneeling in front of her, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "What kind of disease did your son have?" How did you get so powerful? ”
Mama Qu lowered her head and sobbed softly: "The doctor said that it was a heart disease, and it would cost a lot of money to raise it with decoction." ”
The corners of Old Madam Gu's mouth twitched, looking at Mama Qu, whose sideburns had also turned white, and quickly calculated in her heart, although Mama Qu had been with her for many years, she was old after all, and she couldn't do any errands originally, but she had been by her side for a long time and knew her likes and dislikes, so she stayed by her side to help manage things.
But now that her son is sick, she doesn't know if he will be sick, and he has to spend money to heal her, so he begged her to come here, where does she have the money to fill the bottomless pit for a subordinate.
"That's it, you go down first, so that you can take care of your son, you don't have to go into the courtyard to be on an errand these days, I will have someone call you if there is something." Old Madam Gu showed a sighing look, very considerate and authentic, but she didn't mention a word about rewarding Mama Qu and letting her son go to the doctor.
Mama Qu's heart sank, full of desolation, she expected it to be right, the old lady is not a good person, and she will not read the love of master and servant for many years, Mo said that she would give Qian Yin to save her son, but I am afraid that even she will be tired of it, and she will not mention the matter of letting her come back to serve.
She smiled bitterly in her heart, in the past, she only thought that she had followed the old lady for many years, how could she be decent, so that she could get rid of slavery and return to her hometown to retire, but now it seems that she is afraid that it is wishful thinking, and the old lady is afraid that she will be sent elsewhere as an errand until she dies of old age.
She slowly got up and silently curtsied and retreated, but when she walked out, her steps were a little staggering and her old appearance was revealed.
When Mama Qu went out, she met Gu Mingzhu, who came slowly with Abi, and hurriedly hid her sadness, squeezed out a smile and bowed: "Big lady." ”
Gu Mingzhu's eyes swept over her, but she saw the tears in her eyes that she didn't have time to hide, and smiled faintly: "Mama Qu is polite, get up." ”
She didn't stop, and took Abi into the inner hall.
Old Madam Gu watched Gu Mingzhu, who was dressed in a smoky skirt come in, and stepped forward step by step against the light, she was a little dazzled for a while, such eyebrows, eyes, figure and bearing, it was clear that she was the eldest princess of Xuanyang back then.
The woman walked in like this and looked at her coldly crying and wanting to stay in the princess's mansion, as if she were watching a joke.
Thinking about it now, Old Madam Gu still feels panicked, it is because of that woman that she has not been able to raise her head in Chang'an Guifu all these years, how can she not hate!
So looking at Gu Mingzhu again at this time, the last hesitation in Mrs. Gu's heart was gone, and she calmly ordered Gu Mingzhu to sit down: "I asked you to come over today, because I have something to tell you." ”
"Your aunt died early, leaving you alone in Dongfu, although I have a heart, but after all, I am old and can't take care of you, now that you are old, it is time to get up, so I called you over today to talk to you about this." Old Madam Gu didn't bother to go around in circles, so she told Gu Mingzhu directly.
Gu Mingzhu couldn't help frowning, and her eyes became strange when she looked at Old Madam Gu, she had always known that Old Madam Gu was confused, and she had always been instigated by others in major matters, but she didn't know how to advance or retreat in small matters, but she didn't expect her to be confused like this.
She actually called herself, a lady who had not yet come out of the cabinet, to discuss the marriage, and she didn't shy away from it at all, so it was so natural, it was ...... Make somebody's blood boil!
She didn't know how to speak, so she could only keep her head down and be silent, but she didn't know what to say in her heart, so she could only guess quietly.
took her marriage as an example, and before discussing it with Gu Qing, he came to tell her, this is clearly weird, I don't know what the old lady plans to do.
Old Madam Gu didn't say anything when she saw her, but she was shy when she was a little lady mentioning marriage, so she ignored her and continued: "Your identity is different from Mingyue Mingyu, you should be more precious, and you are the lady in our general's mansion, and you are also one of the best families in Chang'an's mansion. ”
"It's just that this family affair can't just look at the family background, after all, it has to be an outstanding character, your grandfather was not from a family at the beginning, didn't he become a hussar general, who in your mansion in Chang'an doesn't respect our mansion." Old Madam Gu looked bitter, "According to me, you should say that you should be a family with outstanding character and good manners, and in the future, you can marry in order to be valued by your in-laws and live in peace." ”
"Your aunt left early, and no one taught you these truths on weekdays, I am your grandmother after all, so I have to talk to you. You don't want to learn from the ladies in the house to compare their husbands and sons-in-law, and only when you get married will you know that the family background is important, and those emperors and grandsons may not be suitable, but you still have to look at the in-laws. ”
Old Madam Gu said to herself: "Of course, we won't wronged you, how can you be in your mansion, otherwise it won't ruin the reputation of our Great General's Mansion." ”
After talking for a long time, she took a bite of the tea soup on the desk with a dry mouth, and stared at Gu Mingzhu: "After saying so much, do you understand?" ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at her coldly, and after a while, she got up, lowered her head and said, "The old lady called me here to talk about this?" I don't dare to listen, since the marriage is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, that is, the aunt died of illness, the grandfather is always still in the house, and the uncle and aunt are also in the palace, naturally they should be in charge, where can I say it as a lady, it is really ...... I'm ashamed......"
She covered her face with a handkerchief and bent her knees, and quickly withdrew from the inner hall, so that Old Madam Gu didn't even call her back, so she slipped away.
Old Madam Gu was so anxious that she slapped the table, knowing that Gu Mingzhu was stupid, but she didn't expect to be so stupid, she just asked her a few words, and wanted to make her nod and agree to the marriage with An Ningbofu, but she didn't expect that she would run away so ashamedly as soon as she heard about the marriage, and she didn't even answer, she wasted her tongue for half a day in vain, it was really useless!
Gu Mingzhu came out of the inner hall, but the shyness on her face faded away, only the coldness remained, they were really good, this time she even calculated her marriage, but I didn't know if they were going to say it to that house, so they took such a lot of trouble to hide from Gu Qing and her.
She instructed Ah Bi: "I just saw that Mama Qu's face was a little wrong, I'm afraid that something is wrong, you ask someone to inquire, ask me to understand, and give me a reply." ”
The old lady was afraid that she wouldn't be able to ask, so she could only start from the people around her, but she wanted to see what they were thinking!
