Chapter 31: Far Away
Gu Yu's mind climbed up and forgot that Zhu Zeyue almost strangled her to death, which shows that this identity and status are more important than life.
But the identity that Gu Yu wants is a shame that Su Yaqing never wants to get rid of in her life, she is a concubine for one day and a concubine for life, and her children will be the same as her, with the identity of a concubine, never want to be compared with her son-in-law.
Su Yaqing would not give up, Shu Mei called Mrs. Wu over, and asked her to keep an eye on Su Yaqing's movements.
At this time, Shu Mei is a little sad that there is no one available in her hands, and she has no money in her hands, which always needs silver, if she lives with a dowry, she will sit and eat sooner or later.
But Shumei remembered that most of the methods he used to make money with his master in his previous life were sideways, and he couldn't follow them at all. Before, she imitated famous calligraphy and painting to cheat money, Shu Mei and Master changed places after selling them, and now if she does it, she will definitely be found out, and the risk is too great.
And right now, even if she is in the Zhu family, even if her situation is better than in her previous life, she still hasn't stood firm, and she has to come step by step.
At this time in her previous life, Zhu Zeyue had not been arrested, Shu Mei didn't like Gu's liking, and she didn't bother to care about what Gu's did, this time she couldn't stay out of the matter.
Gu's maiden family is not in the capital, and she didn't grow up here, although she has married into the Zhu family for more than 20 years, but she understands the relationship between the major families in the capital, and the Li family, who was born in the Huguo Mansion, has a lot more advantages than her.
However, Shu Mei, who was also born in the Shu family in Beijing, will not lose to the Li family in this regard, this time with her assistant, the Gu family is much more handy, and he is full of praise for Shu Mei, the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is.
The Gu family's side carried out in an orderly manner, and she couldn't help but show off her martial arts every time she met the Li family, which made the Li family, who was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, that she choked angrily.
What's the matter, bullying yourself for having a small child and no daughter-in-law?
The Li family entered the door to get the favor of the Su family, and he had never lost so much in front of the Gu family, where could he swallow this breath.
Coincidentally, Qiaoyun, the maid beside the Li family, brought a piece of news.
"The slave maid just heard Xiao Jin in the eldest lady's courtyard say that the Gu family is coming."
"Have you asked who is coming?"
"I don't know who it is, but there must be Second Mrs. Gu."
Second Mrs. Gu ...... The Chen family is the one who married from the capital Chen Jiayuan to Suzhou.
Li was still young at that time, so I can't remember it clearly, but her mother must know, and she will definitely know when she asks back.
"Let's go, go to Fushoutang."
Here, Shu Mei just sorted out the list of families who will come and those who are not sure will come to give Gu a look.
Gu Shi smiled: "Very good, you kid is really careful, I just told you a few words, and I got it out so quickly." ”
Lixia also learned to be clever, and said, "Madam, don't you know that Miss stayed up in the middle of the night last night, and she squinted for a while when it was almost dawn." ”
"It's not okay to burn your body, wait for you to rest for a while." Gu Shi saw that Shu Mei did have some blue marks under his eyes, and instructed Mama Qi to wait for the kitchen to make some nourishing stews for Shu Mei.
Although Shu Mei only remembers the approximate situation, this list is still written in eight or nine, "It is appropriate to share the worries of my mother." ”
Gu Shi was very satisfied with Shu Mei's performance, "But I also have to add my second sister-in-law and her daughter Huiniang to this list, I just got a letter in the morning that they came to the capital from Suzhou, and it is estimated that they will arrive in the next few days." ”
His mother's family came thousands of miles to congratulate the Su family on his birthday, which made Gu's face very bright, but Shu Mei sighed in his heart when he heard it, it seems that this should still come, and he can't hide from it.
Shu Mei pretended not to know anything, and said in surprise: "Grandmother would definitely be very happy if she knew that her aunt and sister came from Suzhou to congratulate her on her birthday." ”
Gu Shi smiled and nodded: "Then you arrange it and see where they live." ”
Chen's elder brother was transferred to Guangxi a few years ago, and the family moved, so Chen must live in Zhu's house.
Shu Mei thought for a moment and said, "Well, what do you think about letting your aunt and sister live in Suifang Courtyard?" ”
Suifang Courtyard was originally the place where Zhu Feiying lived before she got married, and it was kept very well everywhere, and it was also close to Gu's here, so it was most suitable for Second Lady Gu and Gu Huiniang to live there.
"Okay, then you hurry up and arrange it, there are not enough people to tell me, be sure to clean up Suifang Courtyard before tonight."
Gu also felt that Shu Mei's arrangement was very reasonable, and she put herself first in everything, and would not make her own decisions, which made Gu even more satisfied, no matter how she said that she was the eldest lady of the Zhu family.
Shu Mei went out after answering, and at this time, Gu forgot that he was still distressed that Shu Mei stayed up all night to let her rest.
On the way back, Lixia felt that Miss's footsteps were walking fast, and she complained to Gu in her heart: "Madame is really, Mrs. Gu, they are not coming soon, and they have to be cleaned up today, and Miss will not be idle this time." ”
Shu Mei didn't care about this, in Gu's heart, only her son was the most important, and her daughter-in-law was just a person who was more convenient to use, and she could still be expected to really feel sorry for herself.
"Lixia, I'm fine, wait for you to go out and find your brother, let him inquire about what kind of drama Mrs. Chang likes to hear."
Although Lixia is not a clever person, she grew up in the Shu family, and she has followed Shu Mei for so long, and she also knows very well about these prestigious families in the capital, and she knows who it is when she hears it, but she doesn't understand a little: "Miss, isn't Mrs. Chang not coming?" She remembered that there was no name on the list.
"Just in case, if Mrs. Chang comes, it can be regarded as the first one among the people this time, and she can't wait for it."
Of course, Shu Mei knows that there is no name of Mrs. Chang on the list now, but since the Chen family has come to Beijing, Mrs. Chang will definitely come, some things, even after a lifetime, will not change, and all she can do is to change the outcome of this matter.
After arranging for someone to clean up Suifang Courtyard, Shu Mei reached out and rubbed the corners of his forehead, pondering how to make the conflict between Mrs. Chang and the Chen family disappear invisibly.
At this time, Mrs. Wu came over.
After Su Yaqing officially entered the door, Shu Mei arranged for Mrs. Wu to go over and keep an eye on her actions. Although Shu Mei didn't want to be as knowledgeable as Su Yaqing, she also knew that Su Yaqing would definitely not give up easily, so she had to guard against it.
The news brought by Mrs. Wu is also quite interesting, she said that Su Yaqing didn't need to be grounded today, and immediately went to Su's place, saying that she was studying for Su's.
Su is old, he doesn't look at himself anymore, he loves to listen to people read, it turns out that when Su Yaqing was still a cousin, she often came to read to Su.
This is in line with Su Yaqing's style, when she was in the Su family, she has always been elegant and noble, but she is also the one who does the most shameless thing.
Right now, Shu Mei wanted to know what book Su Yaqing was reading to Su Shi.
