Chapter 89 (2/2)
Gu Yue and Gu Shan should be.
Zhang picked up his eyebrows and perfunctorily said, ”my sister-in-law is very lucky. Yue'er and Shan'er are so big. Yue'er is really a sign of his appearance. ”
Gu Yue bowed his head and laughed. He was praised and naturally happy.
”Don't praise her, sister-in-law. This girl is going to be spoiled by me
Zhang said with a smile: ”children, it's the pet. He is not young. I remember that he is only half a year younger than Xiaojiu. Can he get married? ”
Xie shook his head. ”I want to keep my child for a few more years. I haven't married yet.”
Zhang nodded and curiously asked, ”have the children's marriages been decided yet?”
Xie nodded, ”exactly.”
Zhang's busy said: ”younger sister-in-law must grasp. Girls can't afford to delay their youth. ”
”Thank you for your advice,” Xie said. We have been away from Beijing for many years, and many people in the capital have not known each other. The children's marriage needs the help of the elder sister-in-law. ”
Zhang's forthright ground says: ”younger sister-in-law has what difficulty, although says. They are all family members. If you can help, I will help you. ”
After that, Zhang took Gu Jiu's hand and said, ”when my first sister-in-law passed away, I promised her that I would help you to watch the life of Xiao Jiu as an aunt.”
Xie's face was stiff, and she gave an unnatural smile
But in the heart of crazy scolding, Zhang repeatedly mentioned Su family, in the end a few meanings.
Did you mean to upset her?
Xie's hand, caged in his sleeve, clenched into a fist, was very angry.
At this time, a servant girl came in from outside. First of all, he looked at all the people in the second room, looking like he wanted to talk but stopped.
”What's the matter?” Zhang asked solemnly
The servant girl bowed down and said, ”tell my wife, the old man is making a big noise in Aunt Chen's room.”Zhang's face suddenly became ugly, ”is the old man playing wine crazy again?”
Servant girl nods, ”be exactly.”
Zhang's calm face, ”the old man is really, know that today is the day when the two rooms and a family come back, and they don't choose a time to drink.”
Xie Shi asked in a hurry: ”how did the old man drink wine in the daytime?”
Zhang snorted coldly, ”as a daughter-in-law, it's really not good to talk about the old man's affairs. But younger siblings are different. Sooner or later, you will know.
The old man didn't go to the early court for nearly two years. He didn't have anything to do all day, so he mixed up with his aunt.
In other times, it's a little ridiculous. Once you drink wine, you have to make a mess of the whole family.
Sister in law, I'll have you settled down. I have to go and have a look at the old man himself. Don't let him make the whole family restless. It's bad for everyone. ”
”Go, sister-in-law.”
Xie Shi also bluffed.
I didn't expect that the old man was becoming more and more ridiculous now. He mixed up with women, and his concubines one by one went into the government. He even began to drink too much and be crazy.
With such an old man in, will the children's marriage be affected?
Xie began to worry.
She thought well. When she saw the master, she must talk about it with him.
We must not let the old man's affairs affect the children's marriage.
Zhang, with a few stout women, left in a hurry.
The servant girls led the second room to settle down in the backyard.
Gu's big room and the second room are clearly separated.
The big house is in the East. The second room is in the West.
There are few girls in the big room, and there are idle courtyards.
There are many girls in the second room, and every courtyard is full.
Gu Jiu follows the servant girl, comes to own courtyard, Zhi LAN courtyard.
Originally, the courtyards of the governor's office in Northwest China were all named after the capital city.
”Two girls, Zhilan courtyard is here. There is everything in it. Please settle down first. When dinner is over, the maid will come and invite the second girl. ”
Gu Jiu said with a smile: ”hard you.”
Qingmei put a purse into the servant girl's hand.
The servant girl did not refuse, and skillfully caged the purse in her sleeve. ”Two girls like to have a rest, and I will leave first.”
Gu Jiu looked at the gate of the courtyard ”Zhi Lan Yuan” three words, and said with a smile: ”let's go in.”
The courtyard is very spacious, more than the Zhilan courtyard of the governor's office, two more wing rooms.
Gu Jiu visited the courtyard and was very satisfied.
”Girl, sit down first. I'll make tea with water.”
”You go to work.”
There is a small kitchen in the yard with everything in it. Green bamboo came to the small kitchen, boiling water to make tea.
Qingmei asked with concern: ”girl, is it cold?”
Gu Jiu shakes his head, ”not cold.”
Green plum looked at the door of the courtyard, ”our luggage hasn't been sent, or I'll go out and have a look.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the coarse lady in the mansion carried her luggage over.
Boxes after boxes of luggage, green plum called on the rough lady, let them take care of it.
The coarse envoy came again and again, and Gu Jiu's luggage was all sent over.
Qingmei gives each person a purse, and then begins to count the luggage
”one, two, three, four...”
Green plum counted several times, frowned, ”the luggage is less, I'll go to them.”
”Green plum sister, let me go.”
Green plum nodded, ”OK, you go to the second gate to ask. Did they send the girl's luggage to the wrong place
”Sister Qingmei, don't worry. I will find the girl's luggage.”
Gu Jiu sat in the empty study reading, heard the movement, asked: ”green plum, what's going on?”
”Miss, one piece of luggage is missing.”
Gu Jiu put down the book and asked, ”which piece of luggage is missing, do you know?”
”I know. Each piece of luggage was marked by the maidservant. The less luggage contained the ornaments in the girl's study
Gu Jiu micro frown, ”since Xiaocui goes to ask about the situation, let's wait for Xiaocui to come back. Xiaocui can successfully find the best, if not, let Li Chuang ask
”I will listen to the girl.”
After half an hour, Xiaocui came back from outside.
”Did you find the girl's luggage?” she asked in a hurry
Xiaocui shakes her head. ”The women of the second gate said they didn't see it. The maidservant asked the rude women again, and they could not explain clearly. The maidservant also went to the eldest, third, fourth and fifth girls, and did not see the girl's luggage. ”
Gu Jiu frowned, ”Xiaocui, you go to see Li Chuang in the courtyard. Let's ask the luggage string, who are the people carrying the luggage? Did you lose any luggage during the period? ”
Xiaocui should be under, ”maid, I'm going to find Li Chuang.”A piece of luggage was lost, and green plum was in a bad mood.
Gu Jiu said to her, ”pack your bags. You can always find the lost luggage. Even if they can't find them back, they are all worthless ornaments. It doesn't matter if they are lost. ”
”It's not good to be a maid. The maids should have been more careful and watched them carry their luggage
Gu Jiu said: ”it has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself.”
Green plum nodded and took the little maids to take out the luggage one by one and put them away.
Gu Jiu lost a piece of luggage, spread to Xie's ear.
Xie looked at the messy yard, and the maids were busy packing.
Xie asked, ”do you know what luggage the second girl lost?”
Chunhe said: ”it is said that it is the decoration of the study.”
”If it's just some worthless ornaments, it's lost,” Xie said. You arrange someone to tell her to stop looking for luggage.
On the first day of returning to the mansion, we lost one piece of luggage. We didn't think much about it. We were afraid that the people in the big room would think more.
If the big room thinks that our second room is suspecting that the big room's people are not clean, then they will be dirty again
Chunhe nodded, ”or the wife is thoughtful. It's just that this is a rare opportunity. Isn't your wife going to do something about it? ”
Xie's face was grim, ”all said, just back to the house, this time less trouble. The master still has to rely on the big house to help. If you offend the people of the big house, if it affects the official career of the master, it is not worth the loss. ”
Chunhe said: ”I am stupid, I didn't think of it.”
Xie's cold hum, she did not want to take advantage of this opportunity, with the big room a row.
Anyway, it's also Gu Jiu's responsibility to make trouble.
But last night, the master told her again and again, and she didn't dare to listen.
