Chapter 246: The Scourge of Huaibi (II)

Gu Xiyan waited until noon, and did not wait for Duanniang to come back, the things for Jiufeng were ready, just waiting for Gu Xiyan's words.

It was easy to wait until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Duan Niang came in with Liang Zhangzhu, who was sweaty.

Xingyu served tea, and Gu Xiyan left Liang Zhangzhu to speak alone.

"I hurriedly invited the young grandmother here this time, I really have important matters to discuss, and I ask the young grandmother to forgive me." Gu Xiyan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Liang Zhangzhu was quite uneasy.

When she came in, she saw the second carriage waiting there, all the way, whether it was the grandmother in charge of the house, or the lady's personal maidservant, they were all wearing the clothes that went out and waiting quietly, she quietly asked Duan Niang, Duan Niang only vaguely said, "The young grandmother will know when she goes", and now looking at Gu Xiyan with a solemn look, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Despite this, she still said respectfully: "Madame, don't be polite to Zhangzhu, if you want to get me, you will lift me." I just don't know what the lady called me to do, what are the instructions? ”

Gu Xiyan groaned: "I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to contact Sheng Jing?" ”

Liang Zhangzhu smiled bitterly in his heart.

This kind of thing, what kind of convenience is it to talk about, not to mention that the Liu family has its own set of means of transmitting information, even if it is inconvenient, we have to think of a way to make things convenient!

She smiled: "Look at what Madame said, although we are in Yongzhou, we often contact the head of the family. If you have anything to do, just give us orders, and it will be a gesture to us. ”

Gu Xiyan thought for a while before saying, "Speaking of which, I am not a member of the Gu family now. It's just that I'm better informed than anyone else. I just want to ask the young grandmother to bring a letter to Shengjing. said, now that the Gu family has no one in Shengjing, it is better to move back to Shuzhou's hometown! ”

Liang Zhangzhu was slightly startled.

What does the young lady mean by this? Could it be that there will be something wrong in Shengjing!

Gu Xiyan looked at the surprised expression that flashed on Liang Zhangzhu's face and smiled. Said: "I also know that there is nothing valuable in Shengjing's family, and the ancestral inheritance is almost sold, and it is worth mentioning that there are only those books from Rongyuezhai." Take advantage of the book season in June to get those things in order. Move back to Shuzhou. Selling Shengjing's house and buying some fertile land in Shuzhou is better than holding on like this! ”

Liang Zhangzhu is really hard to answer.

As the young lady said, in the past few years, the Gu family's little things have been sold short, even the daily expenses are a little difficult, and the Liu family has always been relieved. If it can be like what the young lady said, it will naturally be good, but the Gu family's house in Shengjing is the ancestral house of the Gu family. Who dares to mention the word "sell" in this mouth!

Gu Xiyan saw that Liang Zhangzhu's expression was a little hesitant, and said solemnly: "The Gu family has been doing all these years. Thanks to Master Liu's care. But as the saying goes, flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are good for a thousand days. Panxi also has to grow up one day. The house in Shengjing, it is not a problem to sell it for hundreds of thousands of taels, you just say that I mean, sell it! ”

"Hundreds of thousands of taels?" It was a steady person like Liang Zhangzhu, who couldn't help but exclaim when he heard the price reported by Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan nodded and said seriously: "You listen to me...... Sky-high asking price. Sit on the ground and pay back. You see the price. If you can't talk about it, let's talk about it again. But if the price is set low at the beginning, it is estimated that it will not be so easy to get a good price when the time comes! ”

Liang Zhangzhu secretly complained in his heart.

Could it be that the young lady meant that she wanted the Liu family to buy it...... If that's the case, it's better to provide for the Gu family's mother and son, and you won't be able to spend this money in your lifetime!

Previously, Liu Zuocheng bought the house for Cui Baoyi's Mama Wu, and later Liang Zhangzhu bought a house for Duanniang, all of which were cheap and good. The Liu family has been in operation in Shengjing for many years, and it is not uncommon to have this way, but Liang Zhangzhu has not been in Yongzhou for a few years, and they also have such a handiwork, I am afraid that they have pasted silver into it to show their ability!

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "The ancestral house of the Gu family, in the eyes of some people, is worth a thousand taels of silver, but in the eyes of some people, it is a priceless treasure...... Young grandma doesn't have to be suspicious, just listen to me. Liang Zhangzhu turned his head quickly.

The young lady is not bad at what she said...... Everything in this world has its own truth, and the Gu family has always been a holy place for scholars, and what may be worthless in their eyes is not necessarily a priceless treasure in other people's money.

Thinking of this, her heart settled down slightly, and she hurriedly smiled: "Since the young lady has taken the idea, I will definitely pass it on." ”

The matter was explained clearly, and Gu Xiyan was a little relieved in his heart.

About what "Pandora's box" is, sooner or later it will be known, in this case, it is better to buy this house in a dignified manner, whoever wants to get this box, who buys it, whether it is he dismantling it or digging three feet into the ground, it has nothing to do with the Gu family...... Let them go!

Gu Xiyan served the tea, Liang Zhangzhu said goodbye elegantly, and then Gu Xiyan went to Qinyuan to say goodbye to Qi Maosheng, and told Qi Maosheng about the Liu family's sale of the Gu family's ancestral house in Shengjing.

Qi Maosheng touched Gu Xiyan's cheeks and sighed: "Xiyan, Xiyan...... Will you defend me like this in the future? ”

Gu Xiyan nodded seriously.

Qi Maosheng hugged Gu Xiyan tightly and whispered in her ear: "I'll pick you up as soon as I'm done......"

"Hmm!" Gu Xiyan hugged Qi Maosheng's waist and snuggled up in his arms.

The "Biyuan" on the outskirts of Jiufeng City is the annex of Shi's family, a great jeweler of Yandi, and it is named after it because of the green shade all year round.

Gu Xiyan woke up in a burst of bird song.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a small gray sparrow standing on the lattice and screaming.

Gu Xiyan lay quietly on the bed, watching the little sparrow jump around happily, and then spread its wings and flew into the sky with a "flutter" and disappeared.

The corners of her mouth curled.

got up, changed clothes, and went to the flower hall on the side with Liu Meier.

The Li Shi clan and the Shi Wang clan had already stood with their hands down in the flower hall.

Last night, Gu Xiyan and his entourage, a total of more than a dozen carriages, moved in in a low-key and quiet manner. accompanied by her, as well as Liu Meier.

This time to entertain Gu Xiyan, the Shi family won it through Qi Hai, so the Shi family had already sent capable stewards and grandmothers to live in Biyuan a few days ago, and through Qi Hai's wife Li Shi, they inquired about Gu Xiyan's preferences in many ways, and they were full of energy to leave a good impression on Gu Xiyan through this reception.

Not to mention Xingyu, who arrived early to decorate the room, got a silver ticket of fifty taels from the Shi Wang family. It was Gu Xiyan's daily life this time, and the Shi Wang clan was ready to serve him personally.

Gu Xiyan greeted them happily.

Seeing Gu Xi's face radiant and smiling, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Shi Wang's smiled and said: "I heard that the young lady is here, and several girls in the family want to come to say goodbye to others, and touch the blessings of the lady!" ”

This kind of socialization is naturally indispensable.

The Shi Wang clan called several girls from the Shi family to come in to meet Gu Xiyan.

Several girls from the Shi family are fifteen or sixteen years old. The youngest is eight or nine years old. The bead ring emerald lined up to give her a bow on her knees, smooth skin, green eyes, and youthful energy, with this morning of birds and flowers, so that Gu Xiyan's smile was even more cordial.

Gu Xiyan talked to a few girls pleasantly, and Shi Wang's family asked people to take a few girls down, and then personally served Gu Xiyan for breakfast.

After the meal, she asked Gu Xiyan with a smile: "Madame, what do you think of these girls in our family?" ”

Gu Xiyan was stunned.

Shi Wang explained with a smile: "Our family specially enshrines an Aunt Xu from Xizhao to teach the rules of the girls. ”

Among these girls of the Shi family, they are beautiful. There are also general appearances, but with a dignified posture. behaved generously, Gu Xiyan said sincerely: "This Aunt Xu is indeed quite harmonious. The girls have a degree of advance and retreat, quite everyone's style. ”

Seeing that her tone was sincere, Shi Wang knew that it was not perfunctory, so he hurriedly smiled: "Speaking of which, these girls in our family have also reached the age of marriage, and they still want Mrs. to help these girls in our family take care of themselves!" ”

Gu Xiyan responded with a smile.

Shi Wang quickly swept Li Shi on the side with the corner of his eye, and said earnestly: "I don't dare to say anything else." Five girls in our family. The temperament is the most docile, if you can get the favor of the lady. That's a blessing......"

Gu Xiyan's smile gradually became a little cold.

When Li Shishi saw it, he shouted "bad" in his heart. Whoever came up with the idea is not consulted with anyone. This Duchess of Yanguo is said to be very skillful, and after a few years, Grandpa Guo has no intention of accepting concubines and accepting houses, and she is jealous......

Looking at Gu Xiyan's fading smile, she felt cold in her heart, and hurriedly smiled and diverted the topic: "Yes, yes." Young lady, there are many people with outstanding character around Grandpa Guo, and I hope that Mrs. will help our five nieces find a proper person! ”

Shi Wang was stunned, and saw Li Shi glaring at her fiercely.

Gu Xiyan saw all this in his eyes, and only felt that it was greasy as if he had eaten a piece of fatty meat.

She took a sip of tea and said lightly, "I'm a little tired!" ”

When Li Shishi heard this, he was so anxious that he sweated.

She also knew that it was not good to say these things when they first met, but she didn't dare not ask her father-in-law's explanation!

Li Shishi still wanted to save some affection, so he hurriedly said: "Otherwise, I'll beat my wife's legs!" ”

Gu Xiyan refused with a faint smile, and then unceremoniously served tea to the guests.

Liu Mei'er sighed and said, "Xiyan, this is not a long-term plan!" ”

Gu Xiyan looked at the lush and vivid leaves outside the window, stood up and stretched her waist, and said with a smile: "Sister Liu, let's go to church!" ”
