Although Wang Linzhi and Gu Yue were very low-key when they arrived in Wuchang Mansion, Wang Shisan and other guards, in order to hide people's eyes, only lived around, and never entered the main mansion at all, but with the hospitality of Zhou Yaowen and his wife, this matter became a semi-public secret.
Many officials began to instigate Zhou Yaowen, and everyone should hold a reception banquet for the county lord of Langya and General Gu.
Although Zhou Yaowen invited Wang Linzhi and his wife alone, as the old saying goes, it is not strange to have many people, and he happily agreed.
But Wang Linzhi just wanted to see the Forget Worry Pavilion for the first time, her belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day, how could she be in the mood to entertain these people, so she directly let Gu Yue make her own decision.
When Gu Yue first came to Chadao, he would have to deal with these people sooner or later, and when he heard the words, he generously set the date three days later.
Then I went back to the host and invited these people back.
After coming and going, everyone is familiar with it, and some people inevitably begin to inquire curiously about how to give birth to multiple births.
Gu Yue also gave the credit to Master Bukong.
But this kind of rhetoric has been used by Wang Linzhi before, and the effect is obviously not as good as before after a long time.
Many women speculated and felt that Wang Linzhi was not telling the truth.
The men made a half-meat joke, General Gu was really "capable".
Of course, Wang Linzhi will not hear this.
At first, some businessmen threatened to spend a lot of money to buy Wang Linzhi's daily recipes.
But Wang Thirteen and these people are vegetarians, so they naturally refused to let these people quietly approach their main house.
These people set their sights on the second room of the Gu family in the capital again, and wanted to work hard from the old lady.
After all, Mrs. Gu was just a rural woman in the past, and it was hard to guarantee that she would not see money.
The old lady was more shrewd than they imagined, and directly instructed her subordinates, "No matter what someone outside asks the county lord, you can't say anything, who said the family rules to deal with it." ”
Mrs. Gu scoffed.
She has been married for decades, how can she ever see any family rules of the Gu family? But the outside threatened that as long as the old lady was willing to take out Wang Linzhi's recipe, she would pay a high price of 40,000 taels of silver.
If it was the first two years, she wouldn't have looked at it at all for 40,000 taels of silver. But now, their three rooms are so poor that they are tinkling!
The Gu family's main income depends on the tea produced on the mountains they bought before, the cattle they cultivated, the income from the fields and the business of three and four houses.
Although the brothers' property has long been separated, the third and fourth lord's business brothers have shares.
But since Master Gu lost his title, he was bent on earning back face, and became obsessed with betting on horses and dog fighting, and it didn't take long for him to lose everything.
The business of the third and fourth rooms originally relied on Gu Yan to maneuver around, but I don't know what's going on, and recently rumors have begun to spread outside that Master Gu has a knighthood and separates the brothers.
is not only a family, but also a brother, and he can't write two Gu characters in one stroke.
But the most important thing is that the third wife has spoken out against the current queen, who would dare to do the business of the third room again?
Not only did they not do their business, but many people deliberately stepped on the third and fourth masters of Gu, no matter what kind of wealth they had, it became a dead end in their hands.
In previous years, their tea leaves were sold out before they were picked, but now that winter is about to begin, their pre-Ming tea has not yet been sold, and it will soon become old tea.
If Gu Yan was in Beijing in previous years, he could still think of a way, but now Gu Yan has taken Mrs. Xiang to Guangzhou, although Gu Huan, the eldest son of the second room, is in the Hanlin Academy, but he doesn't hear the world's affairs, and only reads the sage books.
Master Gu San personally went to beg him.
Gu Huan smiled shyly, "Don't hide it from the third uncle, the only official that the little nephew knows is Daddy." When he was there, his little nephew was not allowed to associate with those people at all, and now those who know him avoid me when they eat and drink. ”
Second Master Gu didn't allow his son to drink flower wine, so naturally he couldn't get used to those who took his bad son to drink flower wine. But Gu Er is in the prime of life at this time, in case he is in the middle of his life for a few years, returning to Beijing is equivalent to another layer of gold, and he may become his top boss. These people in the same year naturally didn't dare to bring Gu Huan with them again.
Even so, it doesn't mean that it can't help solve the urgent need.
Gu Huan made it clear that he didn't want to help. Master Gu San also understood in his heart, but he couldn't turn his face in front of his nephew, not only that, but he also had to say good things to his nephew with a smile.
"Your third aunt has now gone to pray for the old lady in the temple."
blames his wife for being too reckless, and now he, as an uncle, can't afford to put an elder in front of his nephews.
"Godson in front of the hall, godwife by the pillow." Gu Huan looked serious, "Why does the third uncle need to shirk responsibility?" ”
If this continues, something big will happen sooner or later, so it is better to take this opportunity to let them learn some lessons.
Master Gu San led the training with an embarrassed face. At the end, Gu Huan said again: "Daddy explained when he left, saying that the little nephew is not familiar with ordinary affairs at all, and I should not interfere in the affairs of the family." ”
As soon as his father's order was disobeyed, he sent Gu San.
Master Gu anxiously begged the old lady, wanting the old lady to come forward, press Gu Huan, and handle the matter.
Unexpectedly, the old lady directly scolded her eldest son for a bloody head.
"You've lost your title, and you still want to be satisfied with your second brother? You don't suffer for a period of time, not to mention that the queen's anger is hard to quench, even those officials are afraid and unhappy, whether to endure for a while or for a few lifetimes, you can figure it out for yourself. ”
Now I have to suffer a little, and when everyone forgets about this matter, maybe there is a chance to turn over, if you insist on going your own way, you will be hated by the royal family, and you will be punished at least and destroyed at worst.
Master Gu was unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey the old lady's intentions.
In this way, everyone knows that Gu Yan doesn't care about the affairs of the other rooms, and he is even more ruthless.
In just a few months, Master Gu's other rooms have begun to dwarf each other.
Master Gu wanted to sell Wang Linzhi's daily recipes, but Mrs. Gu hadn't entered Cuiwei Ju a few times, so how would she know about Wang Linzhi's food and clothing?
It was Wei who couldn't help but smile dumbly when he learned about this, of course, the most was happy for Wang Linzhi.
Mother-in-law is pregnant with seven children, each of which is a man, which makes her a very stressful daughter-in-law, and she fantasizes about Wang Linzhi as an alliance before, and she will be a little easier, how do you think that Wang Linzhi is four children when she is pregnant, and all of them are men!
People are more angry than people. Since it can't be compared, it is better to recognize the reality earlier, so as not to hurt the previous feelings. Besides, like Wang Linzhi, she has lived for more than 20 years, and she has gone through this once. The county lord of Langya has always been detached, and even the pregnancy made such a big noise, she had already stopped thinking about comparing with it.
Although there is no letter from Wuchang back yet, the Cui family has always had its own channels, and even Mrs. Cui has become very interested in Gu Yue's daily diet, and asked about it sideways.
Wei smiled and played Tai Chi with Mrs. Cui, "Okay, the junior writes a letter to ask." ”
When Wang Linzhi received Wei's letter, she was shocked to realize that the news of her pregnancy had reached the capital.
