Chapter 196: Settled

On the second day, Zhou Ruijing still went to the yamen early.

Because the news was released yesterday, the porridge shed was almost surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, but fortunately, someone who presided over the order was arranged early, which prevented the homeless people from scrambling and pushing. Gu Wanyin sat in the carriage and gently lifted the curtain to look out.

I saw those queuing up to get porridge, each with pots and bowls and other rice utensils in their hands. However, although the clothes were ragged, the complexion was fine, and he should not have suffered too much. It's just that most of these réndà have lost their homes, and they don't know where they will settle down in the future, and they all have a sad look on their faces.

The three cauldrons were steaming, and a thick aroma of rice porridge wafted everywhere in the wind. A spoonful of porridge, a nest head. No more, no less, just enough to solve the food ration problem for one meal. The porridge is not thin because it is filled with whole grains and vegetables, but it can really quench hunger.

Many people who had received the porridge and the nest did not leave immediately, but kowtowed to the gate of the Zhennan Wangfu and said some words of gratitude.

Gu Wanyin sighed lightly and lowered the curtain.

Danzhi then instructed the coachman to drive.

"But the princess feels uncomfortable?" When the carriage started, Danzhi opened his mouth softly. Ever since she saw these homeless people, Gu Wanyin's face was a little bad. Apparently touched a lot.

Gu Wanyin looked down at the mutton fat jade ruby ring on her finger, and sighed with a wry smile: "Fortunately, I was never born in a poor family, otherwise at this time, I don't know what the situation is." "Since I was a child, I have never suffered a little bit, even though there are many unsatisfactory things, but compared to these ordinary people, I don't know how much better. At least. You don't have to worry about making a living every day.

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." Danzhi said lightly, the rich and noble cannot understand the worries of the poor. But the poor do not understand the anxieties of the rich.

"That's right." Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, and gradually relieved, but she felt in her heart that there was indeed nothing wrong with opening a porridge shed this time. Not to mention the side, hearing that so many people are grateful to the Zhennan Palace, the satisfaction in my heart is incomparable.

After thinking about it, Gu Wanyin turned her head sideways to Danzhi and asked, "That's right." What is the latest news from the Lai family and the Wang family? How are they doing in the house? ”

Speaking of this, Danzhi couldn't help but smile a little: "Speaking of which, they are also capable." This time, by sending vegetables, I got in touch with the cook in the old lady's yard. With a mother-in-law on the second door. The relationship is also quite good. It's just the third wife's place. But it never worked; There was no movement from the second wife, but a little girl beside the third young master revealed a lot of news to us. ”

"Oh?" Gu Wanyin was also happy in her heart. She wants to find out which are the second wife's people and which are the third wife's people before she is in charge of the middle feed. immediately instructed Danzhi: "You tell them, let them investigate carefully, and find out who the girls and women in important positions are." "That's the only way, when she takes over the feed. to be able to take precautions.

"Don't worry, the princess." Danzhi nodded in response, secretly remembering it in his heart.

Gu Wanyin remembered Zhou Ruiming's appearance yesterday. couldn't help but ask Dan Zhi, "Do you know what happened to the third young master?" "It's good, why is it sick. And yesterday, when she saw Zhou Ruiming's look when she got along with his second wife, it was quite wrong. It's not at all like it used to be.

"I was going to tell the princess about this yesterday, but I didn't say it when the princess was here yesterday." Danzhi lowered his voice and spit out a sentence; "The third young master and the second wife quarreled, and they were so angry that they went back to the house in the rain, and they fell ill that night. started to burn in a daze, and kept shouting in his mouth, he didn't get married, and he wanted to get out of marriage. ”

"Divorce!" Gu Wanyin was startled, and her eyes widened in surprise. Unspeakable consternation. Immediately, he frowned again: "Why do you suddenly want to withdraw from the marriage?" The dowry has been served, and I see that the third young master is not dissatisfied with anything in the past. ”

Danzhi sighed: "Our third lady did something like that, who can be satisfied?" The third young master didn't say it, he must have a pimple in his heart. It's the second wife, who has always been reluctant. ”

"That's right." Gu Wanyin's eyes flashed, and she frowned a little helplessly. The second wife has indeed always had a pimple. If it weren't for the fact that this matter was too involved, Zhou Yuyan would also be at fault, and the second wife was afraid that the matter would be big, so she would not be willing. Later, because of the intervention of the Qi family, the second wife was even more desperate for a breath, so this matter was decided so smoothly.

But now if Zhou Ruiming wants to withdraw from the marriage, things are a little difficult to handle.

Xu saw the worry in Gu Wanyin's heart, and Danzhi said softly: "It's good to get married." A son like the third lady may not be able to stop when she marries, and it won't be you, the princess, who will suffer at that time? "Because it is a sister from a family, Gu Yingyin has a problem, and Gu Wanyin is naturally implicated.

"If she is really divorced, Gu Yingyin's life will be completely ruined." Gu Wanyin groaned, her face cloudy: "The Gu family's face can't get over it." Moreover, this matter is already too involved...... "If you really withdraw from the marriage, there will be a great loss to the reputation of the two families at that time." No one can afford this outcome. Even if Danzhi is right, she can't ruin Gu Yingyin's marriage and the reputation of the two families for her own selfish desires.

The Zhou and Gu families were originally in-laws, and Gu Yingyin remarried, which was a kiss and a kiss. But what if the divorce is divorced? Then the relationship will be awkward. Even with it, her status in the Zhou family was embarrassing.

But—" The second lady probably wouldn't agree. Gu Wanyin sighed, but Gu Yingyin's life when she got married, I was afraid that it would not be easy. The second wife is not a good person. However, the road was chosen by Gu Yingyin herself, who is to blame?

"Let's just don't know about this." Gu Wanyin commanded in a deep voice, "If Gu Yingyin has anything to do in the future, we don't have to interfere." The second wife disciplines her daughter-in-law, which is a matter of course. She didn't have to tell me what she had suffered. ”

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the gate of the Gu family. Danzhi hurriedly took out the umbrella and clogs.

All the way into the old lady's yard, sure enough, the Li family was already there.

Gu Wanyin came over today, mainly to discuss the matter of continuation; The Li family has already sent someone to Henan to inquire, and the Zhang family has already revealed the meaning of permission. After all, she is too old, and it is better to be a concubine with someone than to be a wife.

The old lady is now unable to do many things, and she is also concerned about the continuation of the string.

Gu Wanyin meant that before Gu Yingyin got married, she took over the Zhang family. Anyway, it's a continuation, and you don't have to do anything, and gradually you just take people over and tell your relatives and friends.

Needless to say, Li naturally agreed. Seeing that Gu Yingyin was about to get married, she took the person over early, and she didn't have to come to Cāo to do it in the future, I don't know how much worry she would.

But the old lady hesitated. However, after some persuasion, I finally agreed.

After agreeing on this matter, the old lady asked about Gu Wanyin's Zhou family. Gu Wanyin naturally just picked it out and said it, coaxing the old lady very happy. Li also talked about the Zhou family's opening of a porridge shed.

The old lady smiled: "The Zhou family is kind-hearted. This is a good thing to accumulate yin virtue, if it weren't for the fact that no one in our house held it, I would have the heart to do it. ”

Li pursed his lips and smiled: "If the old lady really wants to do it, let's take care of the three rooms of the family and work together to do one." also let people see, we are not much different from the Zhou family. ”

Obviously, the Li family is trying to support Gu Wanyin's façade. It is also good that Gu Wanyin can hold her head up more in the Zhou family.

Gu Wanyin glanced at Li Shi with emotion, but said with a smile: "There is no need to compare to do good deeds. Our house is not as good as Zhennan Wangfu, why bother to slap a swollen face and become fat? Besides, the money for opening a porridge shed is still the prince's. It's not the Zhou family. Therefore, although the porridge shed is set up outside the Zhennan Palace, the name is used in her and Zhou Ruijing's name.

When Li Shi heard this, he was immediately a little surprised: "This is a few thousand taels of silver." You little couple, you took out so much money at once—didn't you use your dowry? ”

The old lady was also a little worried, and said loudly: "The dowry is the foundation of a woman's life in her mother-in-law's family, you have to be careful, don't let people get carried away after saying a few words for some false fame." ”

"Don't worry, how could I use my dowry to do such things? This money is not ours. Gu Wanyin pursed her lips and smiled, and said how the second wife detained Zhou Ruijing Nian, how she asked for the silver back, and how the old lady had how to get the second wife to return the silver.

The old lady frowned after hearing this: "This second wife is really not easy to get along with." Be careful, don't suffer in the future. ”

Looking at the old lady's nervous and concerned appearance, Gu Wanyin smiled slightly: "Grandmother, don't worry, I have my own measure." Then he talked about Gu Yingyin: "How is the third sister doing?" Has Xingzi changed? If it's the same as before, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a big loss. The Zhou family can't compare to our Gu family, but no one will tolerate her. Not only will it not be tolerated, but maybe it will become the best reason for the second wife to teach Gu Yingyin a lesson in the future.

The old lady smiled faintly and snorted lightly: "Now she can be regarded as honest." Don't worry, I have designated her to marry her grandmother in the future, and I will keep her behaving. ”

When Gu Wanyin heard this, she remembered the last time she saw Gu Yingyin's grandmother beside her, her heart was cold, and a trace of cold air surged behind her. That grandmother is indeed capable. It's just that Gu Yingyin is only afraid, it's very uncomfortable, right? However, the more honest Gu Yingyin is disciplined, the better it will be for her. Otherwise, you will have to worry about it all the time.
