Chapter 147: The Lady in Charge (First Update)
When Gu Mingzhu brought Abi and Xiaokui over, Gu Mingyue was in front of the old lady Gu's bed, she personally took the fan and gently fanned the old lady, and from time to time she turned around and asked worriedly: "Why hasn't the decoction been fried yet, send someone to urge it." ”
Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and there were faint tears in her apricot eyes, looking full of worry.
Hearing that Gu Mingzhu was coming, she hurriedly got up, took the maidservant girl out, and curtsied Gu Mingzhu: "Big sister, old lady, she ......"
Before the words were finished, two teardrops fell, and the pear blossoms brought rain to make people feel distressed.
Gu Mingzhu looked at her, but she looked surprised: "What's wrong with the old lady?" Is this the old lady not good, didn't she just say that she fainted, this time it has ......"
Her words startled Gu Mingyue, and she hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, the medical officer has come to see it, and said that it is a temporary qi blockage and blood reversal, and he will wake up later." ”
Gu Mingzhu breathed a long sigh of relief, but looked at Gu Mingyue with a straight face: "Yueniang can't be like this in the future, the old lady is old and sick, you cry like this, so that others think something is wrong, very angry!" ”
After that, she took the maidservant to the main room of Songjuin.
Gu Mingyue's face was swollen and red by what she said, she lowered her head aggrievedly, and thought about taking someone to follow for a while, but she twisted and twisted the handkerchief in her hand before putting it down after a while.
After asking about the old lady's illness and the things in the second room, Gu Mingzhu frowned, and said to Mama Deng: "The old lady's illness can't be delayed, and I asked Mama to let someone bring a letter to the Eastern Capital, and my father should also know these things." ”
Gu Qing is in the Eastern Capital at this time, and the affairs of the old lady and Gu Yuan and his wife cannot be hidden from him, and they must let him know clearly.
"Did the second uncle and the second aunt take someone with them when they left?"
Mama Deng was a little stunned and shook her head: "No." ”
At that time, there was still chaos in the house, but I didn't expect someone to follow.
Gu Mingzhu had a calm face: "Why don't you hurry up and send the appropriate people to the state capital, and come back after inquiring about the news, and there must be someone around Erlangjun and the second lady to use." If you can't understand this matter today, you can't say that you still have to stay in the yamen of the state capital, so you have to send clothes and food to the past, and you can't wronged them. ”
She turned her head and asked Gu Mingyue, "Yueniang thinks so?" ”
Gu Mingyue was stunned for a while, she didn't know how to answer, if she agreed, I was afraid that in the future, Gu Mingzhu would say that she had discussed it with her, but if she didn't answer, she would have to teach Mama Deng that they would not help them.
She had no choice but to whisper: "Big sister thinks it must be, I am also in turmoil at this time, I just saw the old lady faint, and my heart is always uneasy, and after a while, the old lady wakes up and can't be waited for, so I'll go over." ”
She got up, bent her knees to Gu Mingzhu, and walked away with her maid sorrowfully.
Gu Mingzhu looked at her back as she walked away, smiled faintly, and then turned her head and said to Mama Deng: "Go and let people arrange it, don't teach Erlangjun and the second lady to be wronged." ”
Mama Deng agreed, but she hesitated a little, and withdrew without saying anything.
There are also a lot of officials in Chang'an's noble mansion, but these noble Langjun ladies never go to the state capital to deal with it in person, and they have their own subordinates to take care of it, even if they really want to be imprisoned, it is just a formality, and they can go back to the house comfortably after handing over a sum of money to the state government, where they will really be locked up in the prison cell.
But I don't know if the eldest lady really didn't know that there was such a rule, and even asked someone to send clothes and food to Erlangjun and the second lady, which was to really leave them in the yamen of the state capital.
The grandmothers in charge heard the news, and they were all so anxious that they became ants on a hot pot, and when they heard that the eldest lady had come over to the council, they came to Songshou Yuan in a hurry and complained to Gu Mingzhu.
“…… The second lady said that she would be able to pay the next month a few days later, and the maids went back and ordered the errands everywhere, all of whom were in peace and did not slack off, but now Erlangjun and the second lady were ...... The old lady is also sick, and the eldest lady is so sick that she can't afford to get off the bed, and seeing that she has no whereabouts, the big guys are waiting to send monthly money to supplement the old and young in the family, what can I do? ”
Gu Mingzhu unhurriedly took the green drink personally sent by Mama Deng and took a bite, and then lazily fanned and said, "Can't you even send the monthly money?" That's what to do. ”
She sighed and said to the grandmothers: "I won't hide it from the grandmothers, and the monthly money in my Dongfu has never been sent, and even mine has not been sent over." ”
Several housekeepers and grandmothers suddenly blew up, and they didn't even send the eldest lady's monthly money, and their money was even more gone, what should I do up and down in this house.
A few of them were in a hurry and didn't know what to do, and there was a voice outside: "Mama Wang is here, I have something important to ask to see my mother." ”
Mama Wang is in charge of the chef, and at this time she came over in a hurry, but I am afraid that there is really something important.
Gu Mingzhu smiled when she heard this, no wonder Gu Mingyue avoided it so carefully, and refused to even get involved in such a thing as the head of the family, maybe she knew how messy it was in Xifu, it was really a mess.
Mama Wang walked in quickly, and she was also eager, and she didn't care about greeting those grandmothers, so she bowed her head and bowed: "Big lady, I went to the account to pay for the money and silver I bought tomorrow, but I said that the account was empty, and I didn't even have the money to buy food tomorrow." ”
A few housekeepers and grandmothers suddenly changed color, and the house actually reached this step of the field, and there was no money and silver to buy?
Gu Mingzhu shook his head, looking surprised: "Even the money and silver that I bought are gone?" How do so many people in the house live? ”
She reluctantly turned her head and instructed Mama Deng: "Go and bring the account books everywhere, I'll take a look." ”
Hearing this, Mama Deng's face changed slightly, and she hesitated to stand there and didn't dare to go, she followed Mrs. Gu these days, and she also knew that most of the income and wealth in the West Mansion relied on the marriage left by the eldest princess of Xuanyang in the East Mansion that day, but now there is not much left, I don't know if Gu Mingzhu will notice.
Seeing that she didn't move, Gu Mingzhu frowned and glared at her: "What's the matter, Mama Deng has a way to make up this month's money and the money and silver?" I won't even hand over the books! ”
Mama Deng looked at the murderous gaze of those grandmothers for a moment, and finally lowered her head: "I'll go get it." ”
The old lady is already sick, and the house is already headed by the eldest lady, what else can be hidden, not to mention what can be done if you know, if there is still an old lady, the eldest lady can only do what the old lady wants.
