Chapter 278 (1/2)
Mrs. Lin believes that Gu Ershao can really pull out all the things in their room and sell them for money. Mrs. Lin had to take 500 taels of silver to Gu Ershao and said, ”my husband is going to visit the countryside. I also prepared 100 taels of silver and 20 taels of broken silver for him.”
Gu Xing said, ”that's all we have?”
Mrs. Lin wiped her tears and said, ”how much did the third brother Princess Shang spend? Xianggong, you can ask your eldest brother.” If his man can ask Gu Dashao, Mrs. Lin will ask herself to go to court!
Gu Xingyan, a man who never cares about money, was crying by Mrs. Lin at the moment. He couldn't make up his mind and said, ”we can't have this family property?”
Mrs. Lin cried and said, ”my husband, you went to the countryside. My concubine took Xu'er in the capital. Xu'er's toys and snacks. We honor our grandparents and mother. Which one don't we pay for ourselves? What about the days to come? ”
Gu Xingyan sat for a long time without talking.
Mrs. Lin secretly glanced at Gu Ershao's face and suggested, ”there's a lot of silver in the third brother. Why not...”
”OK,” Gu Xingyan said as soon as he heard Mrs. Lin's words, ”don't remember the princess's money. Did I ask for your dowry?”
Mrs. Lin stopped talking.
Gu Xing said, ”aren't there 120 Liang left?”
Mrs. Lin went to the luggage she had packed for Gu Xingyan and came out with a hundred liang of silver tickets and twenty liang of broken silver.
Gu Xingyan glanced at the silver note and money put on the table by Mrs. Lin and said, ”keep this money.”
”Xianggong!”
Gu Xingyan strode out of the bedroom with five hundred taels of silver.
Mrs. Lin sat down in her chair and looked at the money on the table. Suddenly she covered her face and cried. Of course she still has money, but she can't take it out. She has to plan for the future of their house, and their son. Without money, how will they live in the future?
Gu Xingyan ran back to the old man's study. At this time, the doctor had gone down to write a prescription for Gu Dashao.
The old man said to Gu Xing, ”you're just in time. Send your brother back to his room.”
Gu Xingnuo said, ”Grandpa, I'd better wait for Xinglang and the princess to come back.”
”The doctor said you were badly hurt,” the old man shook his head. ”I'll wait for them to come back and you go to have a rest.”
Gu Xingyan was worried as soon as he heard the old man's words and said, ”is the injury serious?”
The old man waved his hand to Gu Xingyan and said, ”send your eldest brother back to the room. The imperial doctor should arrive in a while.”
