Chapter 175: Hand Over the Seal Letter (Part 2)
Mama Wu, the housekeeper of the inner courtyard in the East Mansion, took a few servants with big shoulders and round waists to the East Mansion, and Mama Han got the message of the little maid and greeted her in surprise: "The eldest lady has entered the palace, but what does the old lady have to order?" ”
Mama Wu has always been in front of Mrs. Gu, and has been in charge of the inner courtyard treasury and shopping everywhere, which is very beautiful, but she has suffered a lot of anger these days, and the monthly money in the house has not been paid for a long time, Gu Mingzhu has ordered to reduce the amount of use, and she, the housekeeper, can't use the slightest prestige, so she can only listen to Gu Mingzhu's orders.
Now it's finally good, the old lady is getting better, the middle feed in the house is finally back in the hands of the old lady, she is proud again, and today she got this errand, and she feels more and more that she has earned face, and she came with a swagger of the servant.
"The eldest lady is not in the house? That's not a coincidence. Mama Wu raised her head and said proudly, "The old lady has ordered, let me come to this house to get the seal letter of the eldest lady, and I will use it in a hurry." ”
Mama Han's face sank, she glanced at Mama Wu and the servants she brought, and said coldly: "This is strange, what do you want the seal letter of the eldest lady in the Xifu for?" ”
Mama Wu looked at Mama Han with a smile: "Mama is also an old man who has been serving in front of the eldest lady for so long, how can she still ask these words, is the old lady's instructions what we can ask?" If you still know what is wrong, send the seal letter out quickly, so as not to make the old lady angry when you delay. ”
Mama Han sneered: "Not to mention that Yin Xin is not in the house, even if he is, you can't force it, so I will wait for the eldest lady to come back." ”
Mama Wu was annoyed, except for a few ladies and ladies in Xifu in the past, who saw her was not respectful, where did anyone dare to talk to her like this!
"Okay, okay, since Mama refuses to take it out, then go back with me to talk back to the old lady, and let the old lady see what the people around the big lady in the house have become rash!"
She glanced at the few servants who followed behind her, and the servants swarmed up and surrounded Mama Han.
It's just that the people who are waiting in the East Mansion can't be so arrogant by them, a few servants and maids hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and looked at Mama Han worriedly: "Mama, how can this be good?" ”
Mama Han smiled faintly: "It's okay, I'll go with them, but I want to see what I want to do?" The seal letter in this house was left by the eldest princess to the lady back then, how could they come by them! ”
Before she finished speaking, Gu Mingzhu sneered outside: "Want my seal? It's not that it can't be, and it doesn't have to be so forced, I'll just go over and talk back to the old lady. ”
Gu Mingzhu is back.
Mama Wu's face changed slightly, but she was forced to calm herself, and stepped forward to bend her knees to Gu Mingzhu, who had entered the flower hall: "The eldest lady is fine, the maid is ordered by the old lady to come to ......"
Gu Mingzhu glanced at her lightly, and said lukewarmly: "I heard everything you said, the old lady wants my seal, right?" ”
Mama Wu was a little uncomfortable, and said with a dry smile: "The old lady is getting better, and she can already speak, so she asked the maid to invite the eldest lady over, and there is something important to discuss." ”
Since the eldest lady is here, I am afraid that this seal letter will not leave, so I can only invite the eldest lady to go over, and she can't resist the old lady, a filial piety word is pressing, how can you not disobey the old lady's meaning.
Gu Mingzhu looked at her and smiled: "The old lady can speak?" That's a good thing. ”
She has only been gone for most of the day, and Old Madam Gu will be fine, but I am afraid that someone will bother.
She turned her head and ordered Mama Han to stay in the mansion, but took Ah Bi and Xiaokui to the West Mansion.
In the West Mansion, the old lady Gu looked at Gu Mingzhu, who came into the hall with the maidservant, her face was pale, and her eyelids jumped a few times, if Gu Mingyue was now a scourge in the old lady's heart, then Gu Mingzhu was a thorn in her flesh, looking at her looking more and more like that woman's face, she felt panicked in her heart.
But she tried to marry her off several times, but she never succeeded, but the mansion made people turn upside down, and even the dignified Anning Bofu Luo family was folded inside, but she still stayed in the mansion unharmed, and the old lady was more and more annoyed.
"You've come just in time, I have something to tell you." Old Madam Gu was still very difficult to speak, so she nodded to the Liu family and asked her to speak for herself.
Liu's cold gaze at Gu Mingzhu was a little weak-hearted, the old lady could not put Gu Mingzhu in her eyes, but she couldn't, she knew what kind of means the eldest lady in front of her was, even the second lady who was so thoughtful and deep in the city had been brought to the Taoist temple by her to cultivate, if she and the fourth lady were not careful, she was afraid that she would end up like this.
But now that she is ready to fly, there is no turning back, since she has chosen to help the old lady, she can't retreat, otherwise there will be no place for their mother and daughter in this mansion.
She lowered her head and stepped forward, and said: "The eldest lady also knows that now there is no other input in the house, and there is no money and silver in the shop, only the idea of selling a few shops for some money and silver can only get through the moment, the shops in the West Mansion are all in the West Market Hutong, not worth any money, compared to the shops in the East Mansion in the East Market Market, as long as you sell one or two places can get back a lot of money and silver, so that the house does not have to be so poor." ”
"It's just that the shop in Dongfu needs the seal of the eldest lady to sell it for cash, so I asked the eldest lady to come over."
She said goodbye, stepped aside and said no more.
Old Madam Gu stared at Gu Mingzhu, who had not spoken, and said word by word: "You leave the seal letter, and I will take care of it for you." ”
As long as there is this seal, the wealth in the East Mansion really belongs to the West Mansion, and she can sell it for cash, and there is no need to avoid Gu Mingzhu's trouble.
After Gu Mingzhu heard what she said, she was unexpectedly not angry or annoyed, and smiled: "Are all the deeds in the East Mansion here?" ”
She saw the red sandalwood box on the desk, and thought that it contained those deeds.
Old Madam Gu was a little puzzled, and said hoarsely, "What are you asking for?" ”
She was strange, why didn't this little lady be in a hurry when she heard that she was asked for her seal, as if she didn't care at all, could it be that she didn't know that with that seal, she could transfer the family wealth in the East Mansion to the name of the West Mansion?
The Liu family also raised his head at this time, and looked at Gu Mingzhu suspiciously, what does the eldest lady mean by this?
But before she could think about it, Gu Mingzhu had already nodded: "That's good, save me the effort to let people find it." ”
She turned her head and ordered, "Go and invite Qi Shanggong into the mansion." ”
