Chapter 509: If you don't do it, you have to do it
"I wonder what the second wife commands?" After Tao entered the house, he saw the second wife sitting on the kang under the window to read the account book, and immediately bowed slightly and asked respectfully.
The second wife nodded and said in a deep voice, "I have something to ask you." As he spoke, he glanced at the person who was waiting. Those people naturally understood, and immediately closed the door and retreated, so that the second wife could talk to Tao.
"Sit down," the second lady looked unusually gentle, and raised her hand to point to the small brocade stool on the edge of the table. With Dow's identity, he naturally can't be on an equal footing with her.
Tao was somewhat surprised, but his face was not revealing at all, and after thanking him, he sat down cautiously. He didn't ask what was going on, just waited for the second wife to speak first.
The second wife took a closer look at Dow, and saw that although Dow's clothes and headdresses were not very gorgeous, they used extremely delicate colors, which made Dow's face look better and more beautiful, and the color was jade. At first glance, you can see that it is carefully dressed in color, and it is young, no wonder the soul of the second master can be hooked away.
At the moment, I couldn't help but think of herselfβthe corners of her eyes were wrinkled, and her complexion was not as bright as when she was younger. The beauty when I was young was more than half discounted! At that moment, the second wife was naturally unhappy in her heart, she only felt sad, and her gaze at Tao became more and more disgusted. But after thinking about today's purpose, I finally held back.
"How is the second master's illness? Seeing that it is the end of the year, it is not good to delay it until next year, which is inevitably unlucky. Seeing that Tao was a little uneasy, the second wife sneered in her heart and said aloud. The tone was not as disgusting as it used to be, but it was not gentle.
Tao lowered his eyebrows, looking gentle and humble: "The second wife is right." I have invited the imperial doctor to come and see it, and I have also grabbed the medicine, and I also served the master to drink a bowl before I went out, and the master now looks much better than in the morning. It's always good before the end of the year. β
"That's good;." The second wife nodded, but there was no real joy or concern. It's like he's talking about something inconsequential. But she was just asking in the way of face, thinking about what the second master had done, and being in the Tao house every day, the second wife was too late to be resentful, how could she still care?
After a pause, the second wife didn't want to waste time, so she turned the topic to the main topic, and her tone was slightly serious and dignified. There was a little warning: "The second master pampered you, it was not a bad thing in the first place, it was your blessing." But you should also persuade the master. Don't be discouraged by playthings, let alone be arrogant. Do you understand? Sometimes the second master can't think of it. You have to think about what he doesn't want to do, but what he should do, you can't blindly flatter him just to please him, you have to persuade well. β
This is a brainless statement, which naturally makes Tao puzzled. At that moment, Tao frowned slightly, his face was full of ignorance, but he didn't dare to refute anything, so he only nodded obediently: "The second wife is right." I remembered. β
"There are other things I want to tell you." The second lady nodded, and regardless of whether Tao really understood or not, she continued: "The old lady means that the family is going to be separated, and this matter may not be a good thing for us." Now that the old man is idle at home, Yulu has also stopped, after the real separation. Naturally, our income is not as good as it is now, and we can provide such luxurious expenses. When the time comes, it is indispensable to open up sources and reduce expenditures. I've looked at the account book, these days, the food and clothing in your room is on par with that in my house, and I also understand that this is the lord spoiling you. But after the family is separated, you should persuade the master if you want to do it again. β
Dow clenched his fingers quietly. Then it was released again. Forced to suppress the humiliation, nodded and reluctantly smiled in response; "Yes, I remember." You must know that the amount of food and clothing she eats and wears in the house now is not half of what she used to be outside the house! But the second wife even has to shrink! She knew in her heart that it might not be that she really didn't have any silver flowers, but that the second wife couldn't get used to it. It's just a deliberate excuse!
It's just that she is a concubine, and the second wife is the main room, where can she refute this? What else can you do now?
"I knew you were sensible." The second wife nodded with a smile and looked at Tao with satisfaction, and continued: "Speaking of which, after the separation, I don't know what we should do." The money in my hand is a little tight to even buy a big house. Hey, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't have a home. By the way, now that the princess has invited the imperial doctor to come over to secure the fetus, we have to express that this is another expense...... It's just once or twice, I'm afraid I'm afraid of the long-term past, but how can I get it? I've heard that the prince has lost his temper today, and it's really scary. Speaking of which, it's also to blame our lord for being careless, why did he collide so well? β
When Dow heard this, his heart moved slightly. looked at the second wife thoughtfully, but when she looked at the second wife's pinpointed eyes, she involuntarily shrank and hurriedly lowered her head again. It's just that in his heart, he gradually understood what the second wife meant: the second wife clearly wanted him to persuade the second master to apologize to Gu Wanyin! This matter is thankless, whoever is in the second master's premise of this matter, I am afraid that the second master will be annoyed by the second master, so the second wife refuses to say it herself, but asks her to say it!
Thinking like this, Tao was naturally unhappy in her heart, but even if she understood what was going on, how could she refuse? It is not okay to be afraid of yin and yang. The second wife will inevitably wait to see the effect. If you can't persuade the second master, the second lady will only be angry with her. In other words, no matter what, she is not pleasing inside and out.
The second wife kept looking at Tao, and when she saw Tao's face suddenly showing a look, she immediately understood that Tao's I should have understood what she meant. The smile on his face added a little more. Dow has to do it, and if it doesn't do it, it has to do it.
"I understand what the second wife means." Dow finally nodded and gritted his teeth. It's just that the tone is somewhat resentful and reluctant.
But where does the second wife account for these? On the contrary, looking at Dow's reluctant appearance, she felt happy; Horizontal and vertical, as long as Tao agrees and does it, as for what Tao thinks - what does it have to do with her?
Tao left with resentment, but the second wife laughed lowly.
At the same time, the old lady also got Yinlu's reply and understood the things before and after clearly-naturally, no matter who it was, it was only Gu Wanyin who was angry that caused this.
The old lady frowned when she heard this, and muttered, "She is squeamish." In my heart, I was a little suspicious of the truth of Gu Wanyin's unstable fetus. It's just that in the end, the old lady was full of thoughts, and she still sighed helplessly, and instructed Yinlu: "You go to the second master's place again, and let him think about what to do." I don't want to hear any gossip. "Now those people in the clan are staring at it, if they really can't keep this child, they don't know what the clan will say about the second master in the future.
Yinlu responded in a low voice, although there was a faint look on his face, but he clearly understood what the old lady meant in his heart - naturally he wanted the second master to bow to Gu Wanyin. It is a matter of the interests of the family, and the second master does not dare not listen to it. However, from this point, you can also see what the old lady means: I am afraid that she is very partial to the second room. I want to give the second room more benefits when I split up, but I am afraid that the big house will not agree, and it will be bad at that time. Therefore, let the second master give in first.
I have to say that the old lady played this abacus very well. The second master said a few words, as long as Gu Wanyin took a breath. In the future, it can be exchanged for practical benefits.
β¦β¦
The Gu family didn't know how to get the news, and when they heard that Gu Wanyin's situation was not good, the Zhang family hurriedly came over. Look at the real look, but there is a bit of sincerity. Together with Gu Congqi, he also came over. After the end of the year, Gu Congqi naturally didn't have to go to class anymore, and stayed at home all day. It was precisely because of this that he heard Gu Wanyin's situation, so he rushed over in a hurry.
At this time, Danzhi and Bimei in Gu Wanyin's courtyard were checking for suspicious objects, so they looked a little scattered. Although I hurriedly packed up, it was still not as good as it was on weekdays. Zhang was also a careful person, and when he saw this, he was a little surprised, but he didn't ask, and quietly pressed it in his heart.
Gu Wanyin was told to recuperate for a few days, so she didn't get out of bed, and directly let Zhang and Gu Congqi into the inner room.
After Gu Congqi entered, he was like a little adult, and greeted Gu Wanyin with a serious salute: "Hello, sister." β
"Mother and Cong Qi are here." Seeing Gu Congqi, Gu Wanyin was naturally happy, pointed to the two chairs specially placed in front of the bed, and said with a smile: "Sit down." β
Zhang pulled Gu Congqi to sit down, and then asked, "How is it?" What's going on? As he spoke, his eyes swept worriedly towards Gu Wanyin's abdomen. Although Gu Congqi didn't speak, his eyes were also extremely worried.
"It's nothing, it's just that I accidentally moved the tire." Gu Wanyin naturally didn't tell the truth, but only said with a smile. If Luo came today, she might have said it directly, but although Zhang is now her mother, in the end, it is nominal, separated by a layer, and there is not much intimacy, which is not as good as Luo's. And this kind of thing is really not easy to publicize.
Seeing that Gu Wanyin refused to say, Zhang was not surprised, smiled clearly, and did not mention the situation he had just seen and the speculation in his heart, but said with concern: "Being pregnant is naturally different from the past, but you can't be careless." Not only the princess should be careful, but also the people around her should be careful. It is often said that pregnant women are the most delicate, but isn't that the truth? If there is a little idea, isn't it going to be distressed to death? β;
