The Zheng family of Xingyang came to Chang'an, and the news quickly spread to Chang'an City.

Previously, there were two concubines from the Boling Cui family, which was originally a great event, but Cui Lin and Cui Yi were very low-key, and they rarely walked around in Chang'an's mansion, so they never taught people to pay much attention.

However, the Zheng family asked people to buy a house in Chang'an, and they even sent someone to take care of it early, and just one move has already made Chang'an City talk a lot.

Since the case of Zhao Guogong, all the branches of the family in Chang'an City have moved back to the clan, and the families have not entered Chang'an for many years, but now the Cui family and the Zheng family have come one after another, and they are all speculating whether the family will enter the dynasty will be a matter of the near future.

It's just that everyone was surprised that the Zheng family came not Lang Jun, but a lady, the eldest lady of the Zheng family.

When the eldest lady arrived in Chang'an, the people who had received the news competed to watch, and the crowded crowd surrounded the north city gate, waiting for the rumored lady of the Zheng family with a family style.

It's just that they are disappointed that there are more than ten carriages of the Zheng family, and they are all tightly curtained, and they can't see the people in the carriage clearly at all, and they are still disappointed after waiting for most of the day, but the people in Chang'an City are even more curious about Mrs. Zheng, and they are all guessing what this Mrs. Zheng came to Chang'an for.

Gu Mingzhu also got the news, but it was not those hearsay, but a post.

Mama Han came over with the peeled walnuts and said with a smile: "These two gadgets seem to have gained weight, and they look a lot bigger than when they were just brought back." ”

Gu Mingzhu put down the post in his hand, walked to the purple bamboo cage, and watched Wei Wei and Mao Mao happily climb up and down in the cage, and were not afraid to see her coming over, but came forward and stretched out their little paws to eat.

Gu Mingzhu took a walnut kernel and gave it to them, watched them happily take it and stuffed it into his mouth, and the smile on his face flashed: "Yes, it's a lot bigger." ”

Cui Lin gave her these two little guys at the beginning, maybe they were just doing it easily, and they never thought that they would grow so well.

Her eyes slowly cooled, she touched Maomao's head with her hand, turned back to the mat, and looked at the post in distraction.

Mama Han was a little puzzled, what is wrong with her own lady, she is obviously not a person who loves to hesitate, she is decisive and simple in everything, how can she look a little different today.

She asked softly, "Lady, but what's wrong with this post, or don't go." ”

It was sent by the servants of the Zheng family early in the morning, saying that they would invite Gu Mingzhu and the ladies of Chang'an Guifu to the Zheng family's mansion for a banquet in the future.

Gu Mingzhu showed a faint smile and shook his head: "The Zheng family has just come to Chang'an, and I am afraid that it is inappropriate not to hold a banquet for the first time." ”

Mama Han nodded: "That's right, after all, that's the Guan Long family, not an ordinary family." ”

She suddenly remembered something: "Lady, it will be the old lady's birthday in a few days, what congratulatory gifts should we prepare in our house?" ”

Gu Mingzhu knocked lightly on the desk, looking indifferent, it was the old lady's birthday again, and there was no need to hold a banquet in the West Mansion, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy this year, after all, the mansion over there is now stretched.

She thought about it and said slowly, "What were you sending in previous years?" ”

Mama Han shook her head: "In previous years, Mrs. prepared it and sent it over. ”

At that time, the account books and money in the East Mansion were in Luo's hands, so naturally it was not Gu Mingzhu's turn to arrange it.

"Let people inquire, not less than in previous years." Gu Mingzhu said, "After a while, I opened a small warehouse, I'll see if there's anything suitable, just send it over." ”

It can't be worse than in previous years, and it saves people from falling behind.

Xifu was also worried about her birthday, Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth and sat on the upper seat, throwing the list sent by Mama Deng on the ground, and felt uneasy.

"In previous years, it was placed for three whole days, and several hundred opera troupes in the city were invited to support the scene, and it was lively for several days, and no one in Chang'an City knew it." Old Madam Gu gritted her teeth with hatred and pointed to the list on the ground, "You said that you can only put on the table for one day this year, and you won't even invite a hundred opera troupes, which is even more shabby than those concubines in your mansion who have a face!" ”

Mama Deng bowed down in fear: "Old lady, this, this is also a helpless thing, the house is ...... now"

She didn't continue, but Old Madam Gu's face was completely gloomy, of course she knew why, it was because there was no money and silver in Xifu now, and it was barely enough to support the family, and where did she get the spare money to set up a three-day banquet and invite a hundred opera troupes to support the façade.

"If you teach others to watch that our mansion can't even afford a birthday banquet, I'm afraid that the West Mansion has been defeated, and the General's Mansion has been defeated!"

Old Madam Gu's most persistent thing in her life is nothing more than money, and another thing is face. It is precisely because she came from a humble background, and once she became a human being, she was even more face-conscious, she couldn't bear her birthday banquet so cold and sloppy, and she could already imagine how others would laugh at her at that time.

No, it can't be like that.

She glared at Mama Deng: "Go, let people prepare a three-day banquet and a list of 100 operas and send them to Xifu, and let her take the money and silver out." ”

She is Gu Mingzhu's grandmother, she doesn't believe that Gu Mingzhu dares to refuse, that is a big unfilial piety.

Mama Deng's eyes widened in fright: "This, can this be done?" ”

How do she think that the eldest lady is not a good person, otherwise how could the housekeeper sort out the accounts in a few days, and quietly entered the palace to move the rescuers to ask for all the family property back, and asked the old lady to write an IOU, such a person, and still want to ask her for money and silver, isn't that a tiger skin?

Old Madam Gu didn't feel so, she glared at Mama Deng fiercely: "It's useless, if I let you go, you can go, she still dares to say anything, not to mention that I didn't ask her for it openly, but I just taught her to see it and send it over." ”

She has a very good plan, but as long as she is knowledgeable and interested, she should read the list and let people send the money and silver, which can be regarded as filial piety, so there is no need to feel embarrassed.

Mama Deng timidly agreed, and was about to go down to arrange for someone to prepare again, but was called by Mrs. Gu again: "Is there the Yanguo Mansion among the invited guests?" ”

Mama Deng shook her head stunned: "The mansion has never had much to do with the Yanguo Mansion, so I have never prepared a post." ”

"Confused!" Old Madam Gu hated iron and looked at Mama Deng: "If you don't come and go in the past, won't you come and go in the future, don't they want to see each other, what better chance is there than this?" ”
