Old Madam Gu leaned on the soft pillow, and ate the decoction sent by the Liu family weakly, the black and rich decoction tasted extremely bitter, she frowned after a few bites, waved her hand impatiently, and refused to eat again.

Liu Shi carefully took the decoction and persuaded softly: "The old lady should take some more, this is the prescription prescribed by Yuan Yuan, saying that as long as you take the medicine on time, you can get better after resting." ”

Old Madam Gu opened her mouth and said hoarsely, "Put down ...... first"

It's just that the voice is still indistinct, and a few words can be faintly heard.

Liu was already overjoyed, and chanted the Buddha repeatedly: "It's really a bodhisattva's blessing, the old lady is already able to speak, and if you want to eat a few more decoctions, you can get better." ”

She hurriedly said to Gu Mingli on the side: "Let someone take my set of white jade head noodles for money and silver, and then grab a few days of decoction for the old lady." ”

Now that the middle feed in the house is in Gu Mingzhu's hands, if you want to invite the medical officer, you have to ask Gu Mingzhu to nod, Liu took advantage of Gu Mingzhu's entry into the palace, quietly used his body to pay for the consultation, and invited Yuan Yuan to judge the old lady to see the old lady and take medicine.

Fortunately, Yuan Yuan judged the pulse, and after the diagnosis, he took a pair of decoctions, and the old lady was able to speak, although it is not good now, but it is better after all.

Old Madam Gu looked at the courteous appearance of the Liu family and Gu Mingli, her face softened a little, nodded to her, and said in a dumb voice: "Help me down......"

Liu was flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Gu get up, and personally put on her coat and helped her to walk out of the room.

Out of the room, Old Madam Gu saw that the Songshou Courtyard was much deserted, unlike before, when the housekeeper and the maidservant were constantly in contact, and there were not even a few people who came forward to ask for peace.

Her face turned cold and asked Liu, "Where is Mingzhu......

Liu said softly: "It was said that Princess Anping summoned her and entered the palace early in the morning." ”

Old Madam Gu was even more angry, and the house became like this, Gu Yuan and Mao were still in the prison room of the yamen of the state capital, and they were so sick that they would not be implicated, Mingyue had already been sent to Qinglian Temple, and Luo couldn't count on it, she was good, she still had the heart to go to the palace to see her, so she never thought of helping to take care of it.

Liu looked at Old Madam Gu's face that could not hide her anger, and said softly: "The eldest lady ordered it early in the morning, saying that it was said that the use of the house would be reduced even more, and even the old lady's courtyard would ......."

She sighed softly: "Maybe there is really no other way but this." It's just that the old lady is still sick, where can I reduce the use, the concubine has already asked people to quietly take the head and jewelry to pawn a lot, and exchange some money and silver to Mama Deng, the old lady doesn't have to worry. ”

She shook her head lightly as she spoke: "Who would have thought that the mansion would become like this, even if the spice trade went wrong, it wouldn't be so bad......

Old Madam Gu was taken aback by what she said, what the Liu family said was right, the General's Mansion has accumulated quite a lot in the hands of the Luo family over the years, not only the money and silver in the public account, but also a lot of money on the shops and granges everywhere, even if the Mao family was mostly hollowed out before, but after all, there is still some leftover.

What's more, there are so many grange shops left in the East Mansion, even if you sell a few, it is enough for the cost of the house, why did Gu Mingzhu not say that he wanted to sell it, but instead took out all his clothes and pawned them, which caused the Chang'an Guifu to spread the word, and the reputation of the Gu family was ruined.

Her face straightened, and she spat out a sentence with difficulty: "Let people send all the account books here......

The old lady finally understood, this is the matter of the house!

A flash of joy flashed in Liu's eyes, and he hurriedly agreed, and said softly: "Do you want to invite the housekeepers from all over the place?" ”

Old Madam Gu said hoarsely: "Go and call!" ”

The old lady is fine, and she has to take care of the affairs of the house again.

The news soon spread to everyone in the house, and the housekeepers and grandmothers were busy putting down their errands and went to Songshou Courtyard one after another, these days they were on errands under Gu Mingzhu, they were frightened, although the eldest lady had not yet gone out of the cabinet to deal with things, but she was very delicate and sophisticated, and she couldn't hide anything from her, so that they had to deal with it carefully.

It's not like following the old lady, although the old lady looks powerful, she is a good deception, as long as she is smooth, she doesn't care.

Grandma Sun took the stack of account books and sent them to Mrs. Gu: "Some time ago, the eldest lady also looked at these account books, but she didn't say anything. ”

Old Madam Gu sneered, what kind of ability does Gu Mingzhu have with such a heart, even if she shows her, she can see something, but she is just pretending.

She glanced at Liu's family, clicked on the account book, and motioned for Liu's to come forward and look at the account book for her, she couldn't trust anyone at this time, she only had a little trust in Liu's family, and because Liu's status was too low, and she had always been cautious and followed the rules for so many years, she didn't expect to be able to do anything.

Liu stepped forward respectfully, glanced at the account book a few times, and said in a low voice: "There are less than twenty gold left in the public account, and there is not much left in the shops and granges. ”

Old Madam Gu's face was gloomy, and she called Mama Deng: "Bring the deed, the ...... of Dongfu"

At this time, I am afraid that I can't sell the store, and I can't let the people in the house take the jewelry and clothing to sell it every day, and make Chang'an City laugh.

Liu looked surprised, and said softly: "Old lady, the grange shops over there in the East Mansion were all left by the eldest princess at the beginning, if you want to use it, I am afraid that you need the seal letter of the eldest lady to ......."

She didn't mention that woman, as soon as she mentioned it, Mrs. Gu was angry, if Da Lang hadn't married that short-lived woman at the beginning, now there would not be even a housewife in the house, and it would have caused so many bad things!

She gritted her teeth and spit out a few words: "I can't help her!" ”

Those are the Gu family's wealth, and Gu Mingzhu is also the wife of the Gu family, so naturally everything should be safe and listen to her orders, and there must be no other thoughts.

She opened the locked luodian red sandalwood box brought by Mama Deng, took a small silver spoon from her personal purse and gently unscrewed the silver lock, which contained a thick stack of deeds on the grange shop, which were printed with the vermilion seal letter of the Xuanyang eldest princess's mansion, which was the family wealth left by the eldest princess of Xuanyang that day.

Mrs. Gu picked and chose inside, and finally took out a deed, put it on the desk, and said to Mama Deng: "Go, let her hand over the sealed letter!" ”

As long as the deed is stamped with Gu Mingzhu's seal, it can be used to exchange the owner and sold for money and silver, and Xifu can return to the wealth of the past.

Liu stood aside and lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth showed a cold smile, if even the seal letter was taken away, the fierce lady was afraid that there would be no room to turn over, and there would be no way to embarrass her and the fourth lady again, but there would be one less trouble.
