In the evening, Gu Wanyin sent someone to the courtyard of the second wife. The second wife really handed over the money.

When the third lady got the news, she actually came to take a look. After seeing the thick stack of 100 taels of silver tickets, he couldn't help but smack his tongue: "The second wife is really willing this time." ”

Gu Wanyin suddenly laughed, it turned out that she was not the only one who thought so. It seems that the second wife has always valued money, not for a day or two.

"The third aunt came to see the silver?" Seeing the third lady's stunned look at the silver ticket, she couldn't help but joke.

The third lady covered her mouth and laughed, but she was happy: "Didn't you come to see the silver?" I've been married for so many years, and I've never seen my second wife take out so much silver in one go. Even this time for Ruiming to marry, she didn't give so much money. If it weren't for the old lady who had prepared these a long time ago, I am afraid that the second lady would never spend so much dowry. ”

Gu Wanyin raised her eyebrows slightly, but she was a little surprised. Although the second wife slammed the door, Zhou Ruiming was her biological son. There is no such reason......

Yes, the second wife didn't like Gu Yingyin in the first place. So it's reasonable to be reluctant to spend money.

"By the way, my mother's family is in business, and she opened a pawnshop in the city, and I sent someone to pick up things that day, but guess what I saw?" The third lady mysteriously leaned over and said in a low voice.

Although Gu Wanyin was not curious, she also cooperated with the third wife to continue: "Oh? What did the third aunt see? ”

"My girl met the eldest entourage next to the second master." The third lady spoke amazingly.

"Second uncle's people?" Gu Wanyin was stunned for a moment, but she felt a little reminiscent in her heart. At the moment, he silently glanced at the third wife's eyebrows, deliberately showing off her suspenseful appearance, and then continued to ask: "How can the second uncle's people also go to the pawnshop?" ”

The people I met at the pawnshop, except for those who went to sell things, were those who went to sell things. If it's a long-term sale or a home-owned thing. The third lady would never come to her on purpose to tell her this. Presumably, it has something to do with the second room.

"Isn't that strange?" The third lady shook her fan and said slowly: "My family has opened so many years of shops, what kind of place is a pawnshop?" Is it casual? So my girl paid attention. Who knows, but it is a big thing. ”

"Oh?" Gu Wanyin raised her eyebrows curiously, and asked, "What's the big deal?" Although she pretended to be curious, she had already guessed in her heart what the third lady wanted to say next.

Want. It must be that the thing that is pawned by the long is too precious, and you can know at a glance that it is not your own long.

Sure enough. The third lady then said: "The thing that was pawned for a long time is enough to pawn four thousand taels." A long follower, how can there be such a thing? Moreover, there is also a set of jipin's jade head face. I don't know where it came from. Didn't you steal it? ”

"The head and face of the jewelry are all women's things, how can you steal them for a long time?" Gu Wanyin shook her head and smiled: "The third aunt is confused, that long ensuer can't even enter the second door." Not to mention stealing jewelry. ”

It's not stealing, it's someone giving it to his followers. As for who that person is. Nature speaks for itself. It's just that, where did the second master get the jewelry? Could it be the second wife?

and he will be good for four thousand taels of silver...... Gu Wanyin bowed her head and groaned silently;

The third lady immediately laughed when she said it, "Look at me confused, I even forgot this." But since it's not stealing...... Could it be that the second master secretly took the second wife, right? Wanyin, do you think we should remind the second wife? ”

Hearing this, Gu Wanyin's eyes flashed, and she took a deep look at the third wife. Why does she think that the third wife is clearly afraid that the world will not be chaotic? Or is it for another purpose?

But. She didn't want to participate in the grievances between the third wife and the second wife, so she immediately said, "I think it's still inappropriate." Maybe it was given to the second uncle by the second aunt? Or something else, after all, it's also a matter of the second uncle and the second aunt, us outsiders. It's still inconvenient to participate. ”

The third lady's eyes shrank, her smile paused, and then returned to normal: "That's right, so let's leave it alone." Saying that, the third lady got up: "It's not too early, I should go back too." ”

"Then I'll send the third aunt." Gu Wanyin also stood up, and while sending the third wife out, she instructed Bimei: "Go, wrap a bag of the newly made pastries made today and bring them back to the third wife." ”

The third lady hurriedly refused: "Don't bother, I have it in the house." ”

"This is for the third brother, not for the third aunt." Gu Wanyin glanced at her and joked with a smile.

The third lady had no choice but to take the snack.

After sending off the third wife, Gu Wanyin went back to the house and asked Danzhi to collect the silver ticket. But in his heart, he pondered: Didn't this silver ticket get it as a pawn in the pawnshop? If this is the case, does it mean that the second wife has no money at all? Otherwise, it would not have raised money like this.

I thought about it in my heart, but in the end, I still pressed it in my heart. It doesn't matter how the money was obtained, as long as it is hers. The silver that comes in hand will not fly away again.

……

Gu Wanyin counted the silver tickets at this end, and the second wife also counted the silver tickets. It's just that unlike Gu Wanyin, the second wife's mood is extremely bad.

Seeing that the money was less, the second wife only felt that her heart was like a knife. And what bothers her even more is that there is no news from the Gu family. On the one hand, the second wife wanted to be calm like this, but on the other hand, the second wife was eager to know what the Gu family's reaction was.

Under the torment of the two phases, how can the second wife live in peace? From the moment she went out of the dowry, the second wife only felt that her heart was hanged, and she was worried.

As soon as the second master came back, he saw the second wife holding the silver ticket with an uneasy expression and didn't know what she was thinking. Is it a revelation? ”

The second wife was so frightened that Huo Ran got up: "Exposed? As soon as she looked up and saw that the second master was also confused, she reacted that she had overreacted.

Seeing that the second master was worried, he breathed a sigh of relief and said lazily: "It's not exposed, but I'm a little afraid." ”

Hearing this, the second master suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He was in Yamen today, and he was also quite worried in his heart. I couldn't help but complain a little about the second wife in my heart - if it wasn't for the idea of the second wife, why would he be so frightened?

It's just a matter of complaining, after all, the second wife has always been in charge of things in the family, and the second master doesn't dare to show it. Only secretly suppress emotions in your heart.

As soon as dinner was over, the old lady sent someone over to let the second lady go;

The second wife was suddenly shocked, and subconsciously thought that the old lady knew about it. The second master was also panicked. However, the second wife was used to doing such things, and she only panicked for a moment before she calmed down, gritted her teeth and said: "The soldiers are coming to block, and the water is coming to cover the earth, even if it is really discovered?" It's already like this, what else can it be? ”

After saying this, he mustered up the courage and went hard.

The old lady called the second lady over, and asked about the dowry: "Have you given all the dowry today?" How is it? Okay? Are the Gu family still satisfied? ”

The second lady had been looking at the old lady's expression since she entered the door, and when she heard the old lady say this, she immediately knew in her heart that the old lady was just asking casually, not discovering anything.

In addition to the worry and panic in her heart, the second wife's face suddenly relaxed a lot, and her smile was no longer so stiff: "Old lady don't worry, everything is in order." The Gu family is just marrying a concubine, where is there dissatisfaction with such a rich dowry? ”

Speaking of this, the second wife paused, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Gai Ming'er Ruiming has become a parent, and she must be filial to the old lady." ”

"If that's the case, that's great." The old lady smiled slightly, as if she didn't care: "If you can give birth to a great-grandson for me, let me hold my great-grandson with my own hands in my lifetime, and I will be satisfied." ”

"When the time comes, I'm afraid that the old lady won't be able to hug it!" The second wife said with a smile, "When the new daughter-in-law enters the door, it will be a sure thing to hold the great-grandson." The old lady didn't need to be in a hurry. ”

"Yes." The old lady laughed, and her expression was kind and kind. After a pause, the old lady stared at the second lady tightly and slowly spoke: "Second daughter-in-law, tell me honestly, don't you like the third girl of the Gu family?" ”

The second lady was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Why does the old lady ask like this?" How could I not like it? Ruiming got married, and I was too late to be happy. ”

The old lady took a deep look at the second lady and sighed: "I know if you don't admit it." The girls you used to see were all from excellent families, but now they have been replaced by the concubines of the Gu family, can you calm down in your heart? ”

The second wife was speechless, and Suo Xing lowered her head and said nothing.

"No matter what you think in your heart, but since you have reached this point, there is no reason to regret it." The old lady said slowly, word by word, all solemn: "Now that our Zhou family has married two daughters-in-law of the Gu family, you have also seen how your sister-in-law treats her daughter-in-law." You learn a little bit too. Don't give the impression that we favor one over the other. There is nothing wrong with this saying that the family and everything is prosperous. Although that girl is not very sensible, but after all, she is young, how about diàojiāo, it's not up to you to have the final say? ”

"Moreover, Ruiming Xingzi is soft, if he really finds a good family, it will be a situation of yin and yang decline. For Ruiming, what is a good thing? ”

The old lady's words, every word of which is advice.

It's just that the second wife can't listen to these advices now. She only felt depressed, only aggrieved, and only unconvinced. The old lady is clearly favoring the long room. But they want to make this picture that is good for their second room.

The second wife felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. Which of her sons is worse than Zhou Ruijing? But her son was about to marry a concubine.
