Chapter 174 (1/2)
After a busy day, Gu Jiu's hands and feet trembled and he was too tired.
After dinner in Hou's house, he settled the salary for the cook and the helper, and told them to go through the house early tomorrow morning.
After that, Gu Jiu, Gu Zhen and Gu Shan went back to Gu Fu from the corner gate.
Gu's house is in good order everywhere. It's really pleasing to see.
Lying on the soft collapse of Zhilan courtyard, Gu Jiu sends out a satisfied sigh.
Green plum to hot water, add medicine bag, to Gu Jiu bubble feet.
”The girl didn't even have time to rest for two days when she came back from the palace. It was too hard for her to rush to the Marquis house to help. The maidservant looked at it, and they all felt unbearable. If you don't know the girl, you won't go to the Marquis house to help. ”
Gu Jiu enjoys his feet, from the sole of his feet to his hair. He feels that his bones and muscles are relaxed.
It's so comfortable.
I'm sure I can have a good sleep tonight.
She said to Qingmei: ”fortunately, everything is straightened out today, and tomorrow will be a little easier. The funeral of the hall sister-in-law needs to be suspended for seven days, and it will be fine after these days. ”
”Girl, it's too hard.” Green plum is very distressed.
Gu Jiu laughed and said, ”don't just look at the hard work. It's also an opportunity to gain experience and learn knowledge. When we go to the palace, we will inevitably encounter various situations. There's no harm in exercising more now. ”
Green plum said: ”the girl still thinks long-term, just too hard.”
”It's not hard now, it's going to be harder in the future.”
Gu Jiu wants to be open.
Qingzhu came in with a cup of health tea. Hearing Gu Jiu's words, Qingzhu said, ”the girl has insight. Unlike the three girls, who are afraid of hardship, they refuse to help the marquis. Sooner or later she will regret it. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Jiu is also surprised.
Originally, she thought Gu Yue would follow him to Houfu to help her, but when she met in the morning, Gu Yue couldn't go.
Several servant girls of Qingmei all think that Gu Yue is afraid of suffering, so she refuses to go to Hou's house.
Gu Jiu nodded, maybe for this reason.
Xiaocui came in from the outside, ”girl, aunt Bai is here again. The maid drove her away, but she refused to go. She had to see the girl. He said that she would not see her, and she would not leave tonight. ”
Gu Jiu frowns.
Aunt Bai has a big stomach, standing outside the gate of Zhilan courtyard, like what words.
She thought for a moment and said, ”please bring aunt Bai in.” She wanted to see what aunt Bai was looking for.
Aunt Bai was invited in.
Gu Jiu looks at it. Ma'am, how good the food is.
It's not long since we met last time. How can I feel that I've gained weight again.
Hands and feet are also swollen, but the skin color is very good, white and tender.
”Aunt Bai, please have a seat.”
You can't have a pregnant woman standing up and talking.
Aunt Bai's stomach is very big. It's more than a month before she's due to give birth, but she looks like she's about to give birth.
Aunt Bai supported her waist and sat down on the chair.
There are thick cushions on the chair. It's very comfortable to sit on. Aunt Bai breathed a sigh of relief, ”two girls here is comfortable.”
Gu Jiu smiles and says, ”aunt really can tell jokes. Where can Zhi LAN courtyard compare to the Acacia courtyard of aunt. ”
Aunt Bai said, ”I'm not kidding. When I say that the second girl is comfortable here, I don't just mean that the decorations are very friendly, but the main reason is that your masters and servants feel very close and comfortable when they look at them
”My aunt is a real talker.” Gu Jiu smiles implicitly.
”What can I do for my aunt?”
Gu Jiu opened the door and asked.
Aunt Bai supported her waist, and her eyes were shining. She asked, ”what about my stomach, second girl?”
Gu nine Leng for a moment, this is what ghost problem.
She was serious and perfunctory. ”It's good.”
But aunt Bai shook her head, ”it's not good at all.”
Gu Jiu picks eyebrows, waiting for the other party to uncover the mystery.
Aunt Bai sighed, stroked her abdomen with one hand, and said, ”after I have conceived this child, I will never leave the gate unless I have to. But even so, I can't guarantee that this child will be born safely. ”
Gu Jiu said: ”aunt, this is a heavy word. If you are good, the child will be born safely. ”
Aunt Bai looked at Gu Jiu with complicated eyes. ”Do two girls really think my child can be born safely?”
Gu Jiu is silent.
”Or are you just comforting me
Gu Jiu micro frown, ”what does aunt want to say? In principle, my aunt should talk to the master if she has any ideas or worries. The master is the head of the family, and he will solve your problems for you. ”
Aunt Bai shook her head. ”Why do you say such a thing to me. The master is so busy that I don't know how to bother him with these things.In addition, some of the women's thoughts and conjectures can't be told to men that they don't understand. Instead, it's to blame me for thinking and causing trouble for no reason. ”
Gu Jiu picked her eyebrows and said, ”to be honest, I'm very busy recently.”
”I know. It is because the second girl is busy that I come to the door. ”
Speaking of here, Gu Jiu guessed a little about Aunt Bai's intention, but didn't say anything.
Aunt Bai didn't let Gu Jiu speak, and she revealed her intention.
”As soon as I heard that the second girl was acting as the housekeeper for the first lady, I hastened to find her and asked her for one thing.”
Gu Jiu was still and asked, ”what's the matter?”
Aunt Bai looked helpless and afraid, and stroked her abdomen with both hands. ”I want to trouble the second girl and help me ask for two reliable grannies in the city.”
Gu Jiu stares at her stomach, ”if I remember correctly, my aunt's child will not be born until next month.”
Aunt Bai nodded slightly, ”I want to prepare first. I can't go out by myself, and I don't have a capable servant girl who can go out for me to find a stable mother-in-law.
When my wife is here, I dare not go out at will for fear of being misunderstood by my wife.
Fortunately, she is now the second girl's temporary housekeeper. She also asked her to work hard. She sent someone to invite two stable women to go through the house for me. When I saw them in person, I felt at ease. ”
Gu Jiu looked at Aunt Bai with a smile, ”Auntie, you should understand that if you spread this word, it is hard to avoid people guessing that you are alluding to someone.”
Aunt Bai lowered her head slightly and said, ”I never mean to allude to anyone. I'm just asking for peace of mind. ”
Gu Jiu chuckled, ”my wife will arrange the affairs of the steady woman. What's wrong with my aunt. Don't worry. You should go to the master instead of me. ”
White aunt a face sad expression, ”also ask two girls to be kind. It's just hard for you to say a word and send someone to invite two stable women to come to see me. I dare not trouble the second girl about other things. ”
Aunt Bai put her posture to the lowest, only kneeling on the ground, imploring Gu Jiu to help.
Gu Jiu was silent.
Aunt Bai's face was despairing, and her tears fell unconsciously. ”I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid the child won't have a chance to open her eyes and see the world.
When I heard that the eldest and youngest grandmothers next door had lost their children and no one else, I was scared to death.
I'm afraid I'll follow the footsteps of the eldest and youngest grandmothers of Hou's house, and I'll die two times.
It doesn't matter if I die, but the child is innocent. What's more, what would she do if she didn't have me? ”
Gu Jiu, with a straight face, ”please be careful with aunt Bai's words. The death of the eldest and youngest grandmothers in the Marquis next door is an accident.”
Aunt Bai nodded repeatedly, ”the second girl misunderstood me. I didn't suspect that there was something wrong with the death of the eldest and youngest grandmothers. I know that grandmothers don't want to live because their children are gone.
