She gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Mingzhu and Xie Shi who were walking in front of her, and then lowered her voice full of anger: "Since it is the incense medicine that the second lady wants, you let her go to the public to pay money and silver." ”

As soon as the Zheng family had an accident, the second lady who had been taking care of her in every way suddenly changed her face, not only found an excuse to send Cui Wei to Yangzhou, Huainan, but also lifted Qin Niang, who had just become an aunt, and took Qin Niang with her in everything.

The second lady didn't give up, and finally found an excuse, saying that Zheng Yuan had never taken care of household affairs before, and asked Qin Niang to help manage the account books in the yard.

Therefore, when it comes to receiving money and silver, where does Zheng Yuan still have a good face to show people.

The little maid naturally knew, and said in a low voice: "Then the maid will go and talk back." ”

Looking at her frightened look, Zheng Yuan's anger was even more uneven: "Gui'er, why didn't I see her serving in front of me." ”

"The second lady said earlier that she would release everyone who has reached the age out of the house, and it is not good for Sister Gui'er to come and serve again."

Zheng Yuan sneered: "I'm afraid that I'm also thinking about finding a good place for myself, where do I still have the heart to come and serve." ”

With that, she shook her hand and left, asking no more questions.

There were three old ladies in the Cui clan, all of whom Gu Mingzhu had seen when she first entered the door to confess her relatives, and the eldest lady led everyone to greet them respectfully and invited them to the main hall.

As soon as she entered the main hall door, Mrs. Cui, who was sitting on the couch, laughed: "I knew that I would still let you come over, and I also asked people to bring a message back, and asked the fourth brother and sister to come and sit here, but she still refused to come." ”

Compared with Mrs. Cui's gray temples, the second old lady is already silver-haired, and her partiality is very good, and she smiled loudly and sat down on the couch: "She believes in Buddhism, and she wants to eat long fasts and chant scriptures every day, so naturally she is not as comfortable as a few of us idlers." ”

The other two old ladies from the side branches also smiled and reconciled with Mrs. Cui.

The eldest lady took the ladies to sit down and accompany each other in turn, Gu Mingzhu was still sitting on the eldest lady's couch, but at a glance she saw that the second lady on the opposite table had a blue face, and her eyes were faintly red.

“…… I want you to come here today for the sake of future plans. After all, the family is not up to others, the people are not up to the mother, for many years our branch has occupied the name of the elder, and what we have enjoyed is good, and there are always jealous people, but there are also many support from various families in the clan, and it is time to make another plan today. ”

Mrs. Cui said unhurriedly: "It's a matter for the masters to divide the family and change the heirs, their brothers have not returned to Boling yet, and they will not be in a hurry for a while, and when they come back, they will invite the old notary to open an ancestral hall in the clan, and today I invited you to help me understand the affairs of the inner courtyard." ”

She smiled and looked at the people in the hall with different expressions: "After all, I am also old, and I have not cared about the affairs of the house for many years, so I hope that I can get things done in a friendly manner, so as not to fall into the name of the house and the clan, and not to damage the feelings of their brothers and nephews." ”

The second old lady first smiled and answered: "When this family grows up, it is inevitable that the family will be divided, didn't the uncles and ancestors also divide the long room, the second room, the third room and the fourth room?" Otherwise, how can there be the current harmony in our clan, according to me, this is not a bad thing, but a good thing. ”

"Instead of hiding something, it's better to spread it out and understand it, and then you can be a relative and affectionate."

The old lady nodded: "That's the reason, now the third room is going to Chang'an, and the long room will follow me back to the clan to do some sacrificial fields and clan affairs, and the second room will stay in Boling City. ”

As she spoke, she instructed the eldest lady: "Let people bring the account books and books of the public school, and count them in front of your aunts." ”

It's very simple to say, but it's not so easy to really count, there are several boxes of land deeds in the public middle school alone, and the account books everywhere are carried a few boxes of cages in the hall, and several shrewd and capable grandmothers help count and reply, and they haven't finished counting for most of the day.

In the end, the old lady was tired, and waved her hand: "Let's talk about the rest tomorrow, after tossing for most of the day, let's take a rest." ”

He turned his head and said to a few old ladies from the clan: "We haven't been lazy together for many years, since you are here, don't be polite, I will let them take turns to sit in the village for a banquet, and we will live with it." ”

The second old lady and the two naturally responded with a smile: "Then we will also follow you to enjoy the filial piety of the daughter-in-law." ”

The old lady instructed the maidservant: "Go and set up the card table, and play the leaf card for a while, which can be regarded as holding someone to accompany me." ”

The second old lady smiled: "How many of them are there, are you afraid that there will be no horns on weekdays?" ”

The old lady smiled, and her eyes swept over the three eldest ladies: "They all have things, and they are not as idle as me." ”

As she spoke, she turned her head and said to the eldest lady, the second lady, and the third lady: "You don't have to stay here, today is prepared by the third room, and the third daughter-in-law should go and get busy first." ”

"Second daughter-in-law, aren't you still sick, go back early, it's not good to blow the wind here carefully."

But there is no mention of the long room.

The second and third rooms had to get up and say goodbye, and the second lady was even more unwilling, her eyes swept over several old ladies, and she stopped on the cage that was placed aside, and finally walked away with her neck holding the handmaid's hand.

The eldest lady and Gu Mingzhu didn't get the old lady's words, so they stayed at the table, waiting for the old lady to speak.

When they were all gone, the old lady looked at the silent eldest lady and the calm Gu Mingzhu, and sighed softly to the two old ladies and the three of them: "If you say that in these three rooms, the one that reassures me the most is the long room, but they are the most wronged." ”

The second old lady also heard about Cui Lin, and couldn't help sighing: "Lang Jun, who is as good as Wulang, is now ...... Everyone in the clan is not happy when they hear about it, this is a broken arm of our Cui family. ”

Cui Lin, who was pinned on by the Cui family, is now not even allowed to stay in the Cui family, which is the Queen Mother's clamp on the Cui family and a warning to the Cui family.

Old Madam Cui beckoned to Gu Mingzhu: "You come, come and sit down in front of me." ”

Holding Gu Mingzhu's hand, she looked at Gu Mingzhu carefully: "When you married into the Cui family, I was not satisfied with marrying Wulang......"
