Seeing off the Liu family and Gu Mingli, Gu Mingzhu leaned thoughtfully on the corridor and looked at the jade pear blossoms that had fallen in the courtyard.

Mama Han asked the little maid to take the empty bowl down, and looked at Gu Mingzhu with some concern.

"Lady, the fourth lady came to the door like this, saying that she wanted to follow Abi to learn from the girl, but I was afraid that it would be ......"

The Xifu side is already complicated, and the mother and daughter of the Liu family did not show up much in the past, and suddenly asking for the door like this is really suspicious.

What's more, even if Gu Mingli wants to learn from female popularity, she can't find a capable one in Xifu, so she has to come to Dongfu to learn from Gu Mingzhu's personal maidservant, if it reaches Luo's ears, I'm afraid that it will give birth to right and wrong again.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the pear blossoms falling like snow, and said flatly: "Li Niang is also twelve, and her birthday is only two months younger than Yu Niang, and the Liu family just wants to protect her again, and she has to plan to get up after all." ”

Most of the ladies in Chang'an Guifu are sixteen years old to discuss marriage, if the Liu family still makes Gu Mingli sick as before, when it is really time to discuss marriage, I am afraid that there will not even be anyone who comes to propose marriage.

The Liu family was also afraid that if this continued, Gu Mingli's marriage would be delayed, so at this time, Gu Mingli's "root cause" for many years would get better.

Mama Han was a little uncomfortable with Gu Mingzhu's old-fashioned tone, she didn't look like a lady who hadn't left the cabinet at all, and she didn't blush when she said these words.

She frowned: "It's just that why didn't she ask the old lady and the lady?" ”

Needless to say, Mrs. Gu is the mother of the house, Gu Mingli's mother-in-law, and she has to have the final say in the future marriage.

Gu Mingzhu still looked at the colorful petals and smiled, but the smile was not as good as the bottom of her eyes: "The Liu family is a smart person, she knows that even if she goes to ask Mrs. now, Mrs. may not find a good marriage for Liniang, and the old lady looks down on Liniang even more, she refuses to put all her chips on the side of Xifu, so she came to probe my tone." ”

In the past, the Liu family had no relationship with Gu Mingzhu, just because Gu Mingzhu at that time blindly avoided and had nothing to take advantage of, she naturally would not come to Dongfu to cause trouble, but would cause Luo to be dissatisfied.

But now Gu Mingzhu is very jealous of the whole house, not to mention the Qujiang banquet, just tidying up the people in the East Mansion properly, he has already taught people not to underestimate.

The Liu family was already wary of the Luo family, and they didn't dare to completely hand Gu Mingli into the hands of the Luo family, compared to Gu Mingzhu, it was a good thing to rely on, even if Gu Mingzhu married into a high-ranking mansion or the prince's mansion in the future, it was better to let Gu Mingli be a concubine than to marry a poor family.

Mama Han also figured it out, and her brows furrowed: "That's good, the lady doesn't have a caring and capable person to help her now, if the fourth lady can really know the etiquette and abide by the rules, it's also a good thing." ”

The ladies of Chang'an Guifu are all married to follow them when they go out of the cabinet, and there are many sisters who are concubines, after all, they feel that their sisters are much more reliable than outsiders.

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Gu Mingzhu's mouth, slowly retracted his gaze, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that they are in vain." ”

What she has to do, I'm afraid they can't even think about it, how can it be a person all the way.

Mama Han didn't understand what she meant, but when she saw that her eyes were cold and cold, she was very sentimental in her heart, and hurriedly diverted the conversation: "Those few people who were locked up in the lower room have been recruited, and this time they didn't dare to hide it at all, so it can be explained." ”

Not to mention that it was clear, when the dozen or so people were first locked in, they all looked hard-mouthed, and they didn't want to say more than half a word, just shouting grievances, crying and making trouble to see Mrs.

But Gu Mingzhu didn't pay attention to them, just let them be locked up, and they didn't let the servants who were guarding talk to them, and only gave them one gruel a day, so that they would not starve to death.

After being closed for several more days, they finally began to be afraid, and the servant woman who was holding the door and guarding the door begged to see the eldest lady and to tell the eldest lady something.

Gu Mingzhu listened to Mama Han's words, but shook her head and refused, and she didn't see anyone.

They are still tempting, testing Gu Mingzhu's bottom line, even if they say it, it is just some bits and pieces, and it doesn't matter.

This is not what Gu Mingzhu wants to hear.

After all these days, they couldn't resist it after all, and they didn't say that they wanted to see Gu Mingzhu anymore, but they wailed through the crack in the door, and when they heard footsteps, they couldn't wait to tell everything they knew, no matter who came.

They also finally knew that Gu Mingzhu was not scaring them, and at this time, the Luo clan would not be able to save them, if they were not honest and obedient, they were afraid that Gu Mingzhu would really dare to kill them.

After Gu Mingzhu's orders, Mama Liu and Mama Lin led people to open the door of the lower room, and those few people who were drowning in water got driftwood, pounced on them and cried bitterly, so they were not sad.

This time, there was no concealment at all, and the bamboo tube was shaken clean like pouring beans.

This one exposed how much money Luo had received, what words he sent back to Xifu, the one who said that this was Luo's cronies, and came to Dongfu to inquire about the news for Luo in private, and also said that others were greedy for how much silver and how many valuables they stole to fill their pockets.

But in the middle of the day, several grandmothers were dumbfounded, they had gained so many benefits over the years, both openly and secretly.

Gu Mingzhu's face was calm, and there was a figure behind it, Luo.

She didn't think of using this group of people to accuse the Luo family, she was not stupid, the identity of this group of people was still on the Xifu side, if she brought them over, she was afraid that they would immediately change their rhetoric.

What she wants is the things that belong to Dongfu that they are greedy for, as well as the weakness of the Luo clan.

It was still a maid named Xiaozhu who said in a hurry: "...... Mrs. has to send someone to send money and silver to Luofu every month, which is for Luo Dalangjun, this matter was always asked to go to Ah Rong, and then Ah Rong was sent to Dongfu, so she changed the mandarin duck that Chunhui Hall was waiting for to send ......"

Gu Mingzhu paid attention and asked Mama Liu to ask her carefully: "Why do you want to send silver money over, although Luofu is not as good as our mansion, but it is also Erpinbo's mansion, where is the lady who marries out to make up for it." ”

Xiaozhu said timidly: "Yes, it's Luo Dalangjun." Mrs. said that Da Langjun is not a good person, and he spends a lot of money all day long, where can he have spare money......"

"Madame is subsidizing it like this, doesn't the old lady know?"

Xiaozhu's head shook like a rattle: "I don't dare to teach the old lady to know, I sent it quietly." ”

Where do you dare to teach the old lady to know that on weekdays, even if she buys more perch in the kitchen, the old lady will punish the cook, and she doesn't dare to let her know about such a thing, otherwise the house will make a fuss.

Gu Mingzhu smiled, I see.

She got up and walked to the courtyard with Xiao Kui Abi, leaving a sentence: "Let them hand over everything they can get, and they can't be missing, and then let people send them back to Xifu, saying that they are chewing the root of Madame's tongue indiscriminately here, and I will send someone to send it over to ask Madame to dispose of it." ”

They would not dare to tell Roche what he said, but Roche would not let them go.
