The second wife suddenly paused, and a flash of light flashed under her eyes. At the end, he suddenly laughed gloomily and looked at the second master: "Isn't she Gu Wanyin capable?" I also found this money from the Gu family!

The second master was stunned for a moment, looking at the cold light in the eyes of the second wife, and suddenly his heart lit up, and a thought came to him: "You mean-"

The second wife nodded with a smile, her eyes narrowed slightly: "That's right, that's it." ”

"Isn't it good?" The second old man frowned, and his face hesitated: "No matter how you say it, it's Ruiming's daughter-in-law......"

"And so it was decided." However, the second wife didn't seem to hear the words of the second master, so she settled the matter with a final word.

The words of the second master's persuasion choked in his throat.

"Anyway, a concubine, where is it worth so much dowry?" The second wife sneered, and her voice was resentful: "If she hadn't done something like that, how could she climb the door of our house?" Even if the Gu family is upside down, they will never dare to make a noise. You know, if our family doesn't want her, who would dare to want her? The Gu family is unwilling? Well, I don't want to! ”

The second old man sighed, with a hint of disapproval in his eyes: "In the end, we will all be a family in the future-"

"It's because it's a family that I have to take a draw from the dowry." The second wife restrained her resentment and smiled dignified and elegant, but her smile was far from reaching the bottom of her eyes: "It is precisely because of the family that she should help us with emergencies." ”

"But this list has already been shown to the old lady," the second master still felt that it was inappropriate, "Moreover, this is related to the face of our family, what do you look like if you don't give it away?" ”

"It's just a few thousand taels of silver." The second wife snorted coldly: "If there is less, there will be less." The old lady took out the precious things and sold them casually. And that's not all. The dowry is one or two pieces less, who knows? Even if the Gu family asks for it, it won't be quiet. ”

When the second master heard this, his heart was also a little shaken, but he thought about what if: "What if it is discovered?" ”

"Let's just bite it and refuse to admit it." The second wife sneered: "The dowry has been handled by so many people, who can know which link went wrong?" There are a few more in the old lady's room! ”

"Well, okay." The second master finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Although a few thousand taels of silver is not a large amount, it is by no means a small amount of money. It is true that they can't afford to give that much money to the big house now.

The reason for the second master's luck is that since the second wife has been a housekeeper for so many years, she has long been clear about the doorway, and she said that it was okay. Then it must be fine.

The two of them discussed it at the moment, and then they each breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that Gu Wanyin is a rare time to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the second wife.

Let's talk about Gu Wanyin, as soon as Zhou Ruijing entered the house, she greeted her. Change his clothes himself. During this period of time, this has been a tacit understanding that has been formed for a long time.

Everything that Zhou Ruijing was waiting for was taken care of by Gu Wanyin herself. The girls just have to do it. The side is not sticky at all. However, Zhou Ruijing likes this very much,—— he doesn't like the girl being too close, but having a wife take care of him is another matter;

While she was busy, Zhou Ruijing watched quietly. It's a rare peace of mind.

"Lord Shizi, I'm going to take a look at Yufei today." Gu Wanyin lowered her head and fastened her belt for him. While talking about things in the daytime: "I think it's boring for her to be bored at home all day, so let's take her to watch the dragon boat together." It's more crowded and more lively. ”

"It's up to you." The corners of Zhou Ruijing's lips curled slightly, and his tone was soft.

"Then it's decided." Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, she knew that he would never object. He looks indifferent and difficult to get along with, but he loves Zhou Yufei very much. is not only Zhou Yufei, but has always been different from indifference to outsiders to his family. It's just that many people don't realize it.

Even for the second wife, Zhou Ruijing is gentle and generous. Otherwise, the second wife would not have taken away his Nian Feng all the time, but he didn't say a word.

Thinking of the second wife, she casually mentioned the incident that made the second wife plant a problem today. "Today, the old lady said that the second aunt will give us nearly three years of annual compensation, and forget the rest. What does the prince think? ”

Zhou Ruijing was silent for a moment: "Actually, it's already good not to pay it in the future, and there is no need to get this money back." ”

"That's what I thought, too." Gu Wanyin pursed her lips and laughed. His face was radiant, and his eyes were bright: "I thought it would be great to be able to get back the sovereignty in the future." But I didn't expect the old lady's words to make me feel a sense of surprise that a big pie fell from the sky. ”

Seeing that she was so happy, the corners of Zhou Ruijing's lips curled a little deeper, and her eyes softened a little: "Such a surprise, then when the money really arrives, won't you be happy?" ”

Gu Wanyin smiled and shook her head: "I'm afraid it's not that easy to get." The second aunt has her hands tight. ”

"Since the old lady has opened her mouth, the second aunt will not dare to disobey." For this, Zhou Ruijing is very sure. After all, the old lady's words can make the second lady lose her current scenery. Over the years, he knows better than anyone how the second wife is slapping the old lady.

But if the old lady says one, the second lady will never say two.

"A few thousand taels of silver is not a small amount." Gu Wanyin heard him say this, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "How is this silver going to be used?" This money was Zhou Ruijing's New Year's gift, and it was such a windfall, she was a little at a loss. Do you save it or do you want to use it for another purpose?

"Let's put it away for now, and if it's useful, it won't be useless." Zhou Ruijing said after pondering for a moment.

Gu Wanyin nodded, it's not bad to put it at home, maybe I'll use it one day. However, she didn't think that the second wife would teach the silver soon.

Then he said that the Gu family sent a post to invite them to go over to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. She didn't know if Zhou Ruijing was free that day, but she was looking forward to it.

Looking at her expectant look, Zhou Ruijing agreed after a little thought. "But that day I still have to go to the morning court, you go back alone first, and I will go over after I disperse. Then it's not too late for dinner to come back. ”

Gu Wanyin was suddenly overjoyed, and at the same time, she was even more grateful in her heart - how could she not know that he was trying to accommodate her? Otherwise, there would not be such a rush. What's more, he promised her to come back after dinner. This is clearly to allow her to spend more time at the Gu family.

Just thinking about it, she shook her head again: "The prince still doesn't go;." ”

Zhou Ruijing was stunned for a moment, then guessed what Gu Wanyin was thinking, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it for Concubine Rong?" ”

Gu Wanyin nodded. Concubine Rong said something like that in the palace to win over Zhou Ruijing and the Zhou family. It can be seen that Concubine Rong has already leaned on the four princes and pressed the bet down. Concubine Rong is the daughter of the Gu family, and others will naturally take it for granted that the Gu family has also relied on the four princes.

If Zhou Ruijing is too close to the Gu family, it will make people misunderstand. When the time comes, it may make people suspicious. This is extremely bad for both the Zhou family and Zhou Ruijing.

What's more, even with her, it is best to draw a line with the Gu family. After all, she is now Zhou Ruijing's wife and the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. Her every move also represents the Zhou family......

The more she thought about it, the colder Gu Wanyin's heart became. She hadn't thought about this question before, but now that she thought about it deeply, she felt cold all over her body.

"You don't have to be so nervous." Zhou Ruijing saw that her brows were furrowed, so he slowly spoke: "Things haven't come to that point yet, and the four princes are only making extensive friends at present, and there is nothing abnormal. If we put on such an attitude now, it will make people suspicious. When the time comes, it will not make people think that we have known about this for a long time, so we deliberately drew a line. ”

Failing to report what you know is also a grave crime. But without evidence, who would dare to talk about it? The fourth prince is the most beloved son of the saint and the most beloved grandson of the queen mother.

So, it's better to be natural and pretend you don't know anything. On the day of the incident, as long as they were not involved, they would be fine.

"It's still the long-term vision of the prince." Gu Wanyin sighed, in the end, she is not a person in the court, and she doesn't know these doorways.

"Alright, that's it." Zhou Ruijing diverted the topic, "After dinner, accompany me to say hello to the old lady?" ”

"Yes. Good. Gu Wanyin nodded, turned around and ordered the girl to set the meal.

When eating, she was always a little absent-minded. Thinking of what Concubine Rong said that day, she shuddered. Concubine Rong and the matter of competing for the prince are on the side. What if something happens in the future? What about the Gu family? She doesn't care about the others, but what about the old lady, Gu Congrui, Gu Congqi? How could she not care?

Perhaps, she should have planned earlier.

Gu Congrui had planned to join the army, but he was afraid that he would not be able to come back for several years, but he could avoid these things. As for Gu Congqi - he is still young, but it is not easy to arrange.

"What do you think?" Seeing her like that, Zhou Ruijing finally couldn't help but ask. I was amused and helpless in my heart - after eating a bowl of rice for a long time, it was still a bowl, and only a few grains of rice were put into my mouth, but I chewed it for a long time. I really don't know what to think about so obsessed?

Gu Wanyin came back to her senses, knowing that she had lost her temper, her face turned red at the moment, and she whispered: "It's nothing, I just think of my brother, I don't know how he has been doing his homework recently, whether he is naughty." I'm afraid that I'm gone, and no one cares about him, and he becomes more and more arrogant. ”

"Is this really it?" Zhou Ruijing looked at her with a smile. It seems to have seen through her careful thoughts.

Gu Wanyin avoided his gaze and insisted, "That's it." "Zhou Ruijing has enough troubles, she doesn't want him to worry about her anymore.
