Chapter 124 Reckoning

When Gu Xinrui heard that Gu Yiming wanted her to go to Mo's house alone, she couldn't help but feel stunned. What kind of place is the Mo family, how dare she go as a little woman?

If it were in the past, she would still want to be a nymphomaniac, but now not to mention that Mo Anlin is already in love with Gu Xinling, even if Mo Anlin is still single, with Mo Anlin's temper, she doesn't dare to covet it.

"Father, this ...... This ......" Gu Xinrui stirred the silk handkerchief in her hand, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate!" ”

"What's wrong with that?" Gu Yiming saw that Gu Xinrui seemed to have the intention of prevarication, so he immediately pulled his face down, "Your second sister is the eldest young grandmother of the Mo family, and now she lives in the Mo family." Your eldest sister is already engaged to the second young master of the Mo family, and she will marry next year. It's only right for you to go to the Mo family! ”

Gu Xinrui is still reluctant to go, she is not willing to do things that are not beneficial. What's more, if you provoke someone in the Mo family, you won't be able to eat and walk around!

However, Gu Xinrui didn't dare to confront Gu Yiming openly, after all, she was not as good as Gu Xinling and Gu Xinru. Although Gu Xinru is so bleak now, she is a little gloating, but when she thinks that Gu Xinru is even like this, she is still a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"Father, it's not that I don't listen to your arrangement, it's that I'm really not suitable to go to the Mo family. On the one hand, the Mo family has a big business, I am just a concubine of the Gu family, with no identity and no status, if I go, people may think that our Gu family does not take the Mo family in their eyes; On the other hand, if I encounter an emergency, I can't deal with it myself, in case I offend the big guys, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to the Gu family. Gu Xinrui said.

Immediately, Gu Xinrui looked at the old lady again, hoping that the old lady Gu could help her speak.

Old Madam Gu kept playing with the Buddha beads in her hand for a long time before she spoke: "There is indeed something wrong with letting Xinrui, a girl who has not left the pavilion, go to the Mo family alone!" ”

"Mother, now that the Shen family is not here, if you don't send Miss, do you want to send Auntie?" Gu Yiming frowned, "Or, do you want your mother to run in person?" Or am I going for a run? ”

"The key is that Xinling is uncontrollable and will not go for us, otherwise it will not be embarrassing to go to the Mo family as the fiancΓ©e of her Second Young Master Mo." Old Madam Gu thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "It's better for me, an old woman, to go for a trip!" If I go with Xinrui, it won't be rude. ”

Gu Xinrui was speechless for a moment, she didn't expect that after talking for a long time, she still wanted her to go with her. She can't help it, she can't be like Gu Xinling, she can do whatever she wants, she can only follow.

And the old lady even said to Gu Xinrui, "Xinrui, go back to the room and change into more beautiful clothes, maybe you can meet the young master of some big man in the Mo family and make a good match!" ”

At Mrs. Mo's birthday banquet last time, Gu Xinrui failed to catch the golden beetle, and was counted down by the old lady for several days, and was also ridiculed by Aunt Su several times. And this time she is going again, and the pressure on her is really great.

Moreover, Gu Xinrui feels that now that the Gu family has become a relative to the Mo family, Gu Yiming's promotion to the vice minister of the Ministry of Finance is just around the corner. I'm afraid that there are many people who are looking forward to getting married to the Gu family, she doesn't need to meet anyone, as long as she waits at home, waiting for Gu Xinling's engagement banquet to be placed, and Gu Yiming's deputy minister takes office, I'm afraid that the people who are looking for her to propose marriage can break the threshold of the Gu family.

"Grandmother, I'm going to change my clothes, but I'm afraid now is not the best time to find someone, right?" Gu Xinrui reminded the old lady that she knew that the old lady was shrewd, and she would be able to understand what she meant with a few hints.

Sure enough, Old Madam Gu's eyes flashed with a glint of light, "Also, there are more people who want to get married to our Gu family after a while." Zuo is only two or three months, there is nothing to delay, but you can choose a better family, the Gu family has more high-ranking relatives, which is also good for the Gu family. ”

Gu Yiming also nodded, "Actually, I have a few candidates in my heart, such as the Ye family, who has a close relationship with the Mo family, the eldest young master of the Ye family is now a famous businessman in Kyoto, and there is a second young master, although he is an illegitimate child, he is a famous doctor." If you can get close to them, you will have connections in education and newspapers. ”

"It's a consideration." Old Madam Gu nodded.

"There is also the youngest son of the Minister of Finance, who is said to be studying economics abroad and will return to China this year." Gu Yiming pondered, his eyes were full of calculations, "This is what the Shen family planned to give to Xinru before, Xinru is married, but you can consider leaving it to Xinrui." ”

"Not bad! In the past, it was a little difficult to climb the family affairs of the finance minister's family, but once the relationship with the Mo family is stable, it is not impossible, or they are climbing us. Old Madam Gu smiled, "This can also be considered." ”

"There's a better one!" Gu Yiming said, "Mo Anhang, the third young master of the Mo family, is also studying abroad, but I don't know when to return to China. ”

"It would be better if I could climb up to this third young master of the Mo family. The three daughters of the Gu family married the three young masters of the Mo family, which is also a good story! Old Madam Gu smiled at this time, as if she saw that the future Gu family could take advantage of the in-law relationship with the Mo family to soar.

"In this case, it's better to let Xinrui not show up these days, so as not to provoke some cats and dogs to propose marriage." Old Madam Gu thought for a moment.

Gu Yiming shook his head, "Definitely!" Mother, you still don't understand a man's mind, I'm a man, I understand! The more sought-after women, the more men want to fight for it, if there are more powerful sons pursuing Xinrui now, in order to increase Xinrui's value and stimulate more men to chase her, we can choose the best candidate. ”

"That's just as well! Catch Ming'er and ask Tailor Sun to come to the house, make a few more clothes for Xinrui, and dress up beautifully, so that people can like it. Old Madam Gu said, and Gu Xinrui, who was standing on the side, said, "Xinrui, go upstairs to dress up first, and then we will visit Mo's house later." ”

After Gu Xinrui went upstairs, Gu Yiming waved his hand to let everyone go down, and said to the old lady: "Mother, Shen's matter, my son is a little worried!" Mo Anlin took her away, I'm afraid she will talk nonsense! ”

She made Mo Anlin so angry, and it is estimated that she will be killed with one shot. At most, it's a bit of a loss of face. However, in a few days, it will be the engagement banquet between Xinling and Mo Anlin, and with this limelight, we are not afraid! Old Madam Gu said.

"If she was secretly executed by Mo Anlin, it would be a good thing. I'm just worried about one thing, I'm afraid that the woman will be unobtrusive and poke out the matter of Xinling's mother, that's the trouble! Gu Yiming frowned, "Once Xinling knows the truth, I'm afraid she will turn against us." In that case, not only will she not be able to get the benefit of marrying the Mo family, but I am afraid that with her temperament, she will come to us for trouble, not to mention that she still has evidence of my things in her hands! ”

"That's just as well! We must not tear our faces with Xinling now! The old lady held the Buddha beads and looked thoughtful, "Then you have to stimulate Mo Anlin, don't consume it anymore, it's best to kill the Shen family in a fit of anger, as long as she dies, it's not a hundred." ”

The old lady looked at the falling moon sweeping the yard outside, "There is a falling moon, but I am not afraid." The falling moon was arranged by the Mo family, so I naturally had a way to use the falling moon to deliver some words to Mrs. Mo's ears. Mrs. Mo wanted Mo Anlin to kill someone, and Mo Anlin naturally would not fail to make a move. ”

"Then leave this matter to my mother! Talking to the maid, I'm afraid I'm not suitable! I'm sorry for you. Gu Yiming spoke, and bowed to the old lady.

The old lady smiled and said, "I am your mother, and it is not natural for you to give you things." What mother in the world doesn't plan for her child? You may be in your early forties, but even if you are sixty years old, as long as I am alive, I will inevitably worry about you. With your mother, you don't have to be so polite. But what I told you before, marrying the lady of the main house, and taking a concubine, you have to think about these things! ”

"Yes, my son understands! The son knew his mother's hard work. Gu Yiming was still polite.

"I mean take a concubine first, and you can take two or three rooms. After all, if the new lady enters the door, in order to save face for the lady of the main house, she can't take a concubine for at least a year or two, otherwise it will attract laughter. But in order to pass on the lineage, the family can't just have a boy in Xiaoyang, and taking more concubines is a must. Concubines can be done these days, and marrying a wife can wait for you to be promoted to deputy minister, so that you can choose more and better candidates. Old Madam Gu's eyes were full of calculations, "In the next two days, I will arrange for the maid to pack up a few more rooms and come out, ready to live for the newcomer." ”

"The family is still too small, but next year Xinling will get married, and when the time comes, tell her well, and then she will give us the sixteenth, then we can live spaciously." Gu Yiming said.

"Yes! If you marry a newlywed person and have children, you need a room, and you need to add a maid, and you really need a few more rooms. Old Madam Gu sighed, "If the Shen family dies, the main room will be vacated, Xinru will go to the Mo family, Xinling will go to the sixteenth, and Xiaoyang will also move away, and their rooms can be cleaned up for the time being and given to the newcomers to live." I really want to have a few more grandchildren soon! ”

"My son understands that when I finish the banquet list in the past two days and finish Xinling's engagement banquet, my son will immediately marry the concubine." Gu Yiming actually has a candidate, and there is more than one, and now that his mother has spoken, he can justifiably marry a concubine.

Gu Xinrui came down from the second floor, while the old lady and Gu Yiming stopped their conversation.

Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Xinrui dressed properly, but nodded with satisfaction, "Xinrui, go and call the falling moon, falling snow and falling dust." ”

"Yes, grandmother!" Gu Xinru hurriedly went to the courtyard.

The three maids all came, and the old lady asked, "Are the things for the second lady ready?" ”

"All set!" Luochen said that she had been assigned by the old lady as Gu Xinru's dowry maid, so she was naturally responsible for cleaning up.

"That's fine! Luochen, you go to the Mo family today, accompany the second miss, what to do, what not to do, you have to have a number in your heart, and you have to mention the second miss more, so that she doesn't play petty in the Mo family and doesn't get into trouble. Old Madam Gu said, and looked at the falling moon again, her expression was faint, and she couldn't see any waves.

"Luoxue, you arrange for someone to move the second lady's things and gifts for the Mo family to the car with Luochen." Old Madam Gu said.

Falling snow and falling dust left. The old lady said to Luoyue alone: "Luoyue, I'll take you to the Mo family later, the Mo family is a big man, when the time comes, you have to decide your words and deeds, don't make mistakes, so as not to cause right and wrong to the Gu family." ”
