Wang’s chest was heaving violently, and after a long while, she instructed Shimao, “Go and get four thousand taels of silver notes.”
Mother Shi took orders to enter the inner room to get the silver note. The corners of He Ma’s lips twitched, and her eyes couldn’t hide her pride.
In just a short cup of tea, He Ma left the Mingyi Courtyard with a wooden box in her hand and four silver notes with a denomination of 1,000 taels in her arms, and she walked away with a breeze.
When she walked out of the courtyard, she happened to be staggered by a green-clothed maid in a hurry.
After a while, the green-clothed maid came to Mrs. Wang through layers of communication, and said, “Second madam, the second maid just sent someone to send some deeds to the fourth and fifth madams.”
Mrs. Wang held a pastel enamel three gentleman tea cup, took a slow sip, and sneered coldly: “This girl from the countryside is really into the eyes of money.”
“How much money did she receive for the fourth and fifth rooms?”
A sneer appeared on the corner of Wang’s lips, and he asked in a strange way.
“…” The girl in Tsing Yi was stunned.
She just came back, and she hadn’t heard of the fact that Mrs. Wang spent 4,000 taels to buy those deeds. She honestly shook her head and said, “The fourth and fifth wives didn’t give me any money.”
“The people sent by the second lady said that they would send some people to the four and five rooms, and it would save them from buying another person after moving out of the mansion. After all, these old people in the mansion know the basics and the rules, and they are all used by the elders. .”
“The fourth and fifth wife are so happy.”
Wang’s face instantly turned black as ink, gritted his posterior molars fiercely, trembling all over with anger, and was speechless for a while.
Thinking of the 4,000 taels of silver she just paid, her heart was like a knife, and she almost had a heart attack. She put the tea cup in her hand on the coffee table heavily, and the fruit plate next to it shook.
Seeing Wang Shi’s anger, Shi Ma quickly cheered for her, and persuaded her in a good voice: “Third madam, watch this slave, there is a good show to watch.”
“The second lady drove away Aunt Zhou, Qian Ma, Zhen Ma, and the others. Did she think she could manage this Nuoda mansion on her own?!”
Shijima’s expression was full of disdain.
It is not an easy task to manage the central feeder of such a large mansion. These stewards are old people who have been in the mansion for decades. well.
How long has Gu Yanfei been back in the house? He doesn’t know anything about the internal affairs of China Feeder, and he doesn’t understand anything.
Without so many helpers, what can Gu Yanfei do? !
Being relieved by Shi Ma, Wang’s mood suddenly improved, and he slowly picked up the tea cup again, and said with a half-smile, “Then I’ll wait.”
She waited to see Gu Yanfei’s joke.
but…
Today, Gu Yanfei re-appointed those vacancies in the mansion, and chose the candidates to replace Zhen Ma, Qian Ma and other stewards;
Tomorrow, Gu Yanfei redistributed the newly played pair of cards, and promulgated new regulations and rules of reward and punishment;
In the days to come, the old and new stewards in the mansion will perform their duties in an orderly manner, and they will be accessible everywhere. There is a completely new atmosphere in the mansion.
When the second room had packed all the luggage and was about to move, the picture that Wang was thinking about did not appear.
The second room didn’t delay the ten-day deadline given by Gu Yuan, and Gu Jian couldn’t afford to lose face.
It took about five or six days. In the early morning of the first day of the second lunar month, everyone in the second room moved away from the Gu residence, and the heavy box was carried out the door.
Surrounded by a group of maids and maids, Mrs. Wang walked all the way out from the Neiyi Gate, directing the servants with a blank face, telling the old ladies to be careful to break the porcelain in the box, and then urging the servants to be careful. Hurry up, and in a while, I will tell Mama Shi to re-count the cages…
She originally had a dark face, until a familiar figure outside the gate came into view, and then she suddenly turned her anger into joy.
It was a tall, handsome young man, wearing a royal blue python robe embroidered with five claws and nine pythons, which represented his noble status, and his imposing aura made the servants and passersby around him look bleak. background.
The young man is bowing his head and talking to a girl in a bright red robe, his expression is gentle and his eyes are hot.
“Isn’t this the lord!” Mammy Shi, who was beside Wang Shi looked at the young man in surprise and called out, congratulating Wang Shi with a smile on his face, “Second madam, the lord knows that you, the second master and the third girl are moving in today, and he went out of his way to hurry up. coming.”
“Your Highness really has a heart.” Wang shi turned his face like a book, and changed his face to an overly kind face, his eyes sparkling.
Kang Kang came in person and picked them up from the second room of Gu Mansion to their new home!
In this way, the second room has saved some face.
Thinking of this, Mr. Wang seemed to have taken some magical medicine, and his spirit was lifted.
Mamma Shi pointed to Chu You and Gu Yunchang outside the mansion, and added, “Second madam, look, our three girls and the prince are really golden boys and girls, a match made in heaven and earth.”
Wang’s eyes swept back and forth between Gu Yuncong and Chu You, and his mood became better: as long as Sister Cong can win over King Kang, the future of his master is still long.
Humph, it’s a long time coming, let’s see who can have the last laugh!
Wang was about to go forward and salute Chu You when the corner of his eyes swept across a cage carried by the two old ladies, his expression changed, and he asked why they hadn’t locked the cage.
The two women put down the cage in awe.
Chu You, who was outside the mansion, didn’t notice Wang Shi and the others in the mansion. He looked at Gu Yunkuang intently, his eyes were hot and bright, and he said softly, “Hey, that house is a little small, you should be wronged first. sky.”
“Twenty days left…”
In twenty days, it will be their wedding!
Gu Yunchang was a little embarrassed by his affectionate and focused gaze, but he never avoided his gaze and looked back at him with a smile on his face.
“It’s just a place to stay.” Gu Yunchang said generously, slender jade fingers curling a handkerchief in his hand, “You know I never pay attention to these things.”
“Yeah, you’ve always been like this.” The corners of Chu You’s lips curved, and he couldn’t help thinking of the first encounter with her in Yangzhou eight years ago.
His son-in-law is smart and brave, comparable to an extraordinary woman.
Even if the city is broken, she is still not afraid of danger; even if she sleeps in the wilderness, she can be at peace.
Even though she was still so young at the time, she was just a little girl raised in a deep boudoir, but she had a righteous heart, wit and calmness, and saved his life when he was chased by South Vietnamese soldiers.
His son-in-law is completely different from those noble girls in Beijing who are well-dressed and spoiled, she is unique!
However, even if he doesn’t care about this, he can’t ignore it, how could he have wronged his sweetheart!
Chu Youyi grasped Gu Yuncong’s soft weeds, his palms were hot, and he said: “Er, when you live in the Kangwang mansion, you will definitely like it there. The Kangwang mansion was given to me by my father when the emperor was alive. The garden, the theater…everything is unique and can be called the crown of all the palaces in Beijing, you will definitely live comfortably.”
“Unfortunately, the wedding date was set a little too hastily. Otherwise, I would like to renovate the palace. But it’s okay, 嫆er, you will be the mistress of the palace in the future. You can build it as you like.”
“I remember you said that you like the roses in Prince Jing’s Mansion. We can plant a garden of roses, which are colorful…”
Hearing Chu You’s thoughtful words, Gu Yunchang’s annoyed mood all of a sudden vanished, and his bright smiling eyes regained brilliance.
“You still remember.” The pair of dimples on Gu Yunchang’s lips were filled with sweetness, and a heart flew up.
King Kang is sincere to her. Even now that Gu Jian has lost the title of Marquis of Dingyuan, he doesn’t care at all. He has always been the same to her and has never changed.
“I’ll remember everything you said.” Chu You stared straight into her eyes, and was infected with a smile that spread from his lips to the bottom of his eyes.
What more did he want to say, when he saw a two-horse canopy carriage not far ahead coming towards him.
He just glanced at it casually, but when he glanced at the canopy of the carriage, he couldn’t help but be startled.
The canopy of the carriage is engraved with an eagle-shaped imprint.
Chu You recognized it at a glance: “This is… Duke Wei’s Mansion?”
He squinted at the seal on the carriage, and saw that the carriage was parked outside the east corner gate, and a rough old woman jumped from the carriage, and the woman knocked on the corner gate.
Soon after, the canopy carriage was brought into the East Corner Gate by the concierge of the Gu residence.
Chu You raised his eyebrows slightly, guessing in his heart: Could it be that Mrs. Wei Guogong is here?
Gu Yunchang immediately noticed Chu You’s thoughtful gaze, guessed what he was thinking, and said casually, “Maybe it’s Miss Wei Jiu. Miss Wei Jiu is friends with my second sister and often comes to the mansion to play.”
Chu You raised his hand and pointed to the eagle-shaped mark on the back of the hood, and said, “That is the family crest of Duke Wei’s mansion.”
He patiently explained to Gu Yunchang that Duke Wei’s mansion was strict, for fear that the juniors would use the name of the mansion to bully others, so the carriages that the juniors used to go out were generally ordinary carriages.
Under normal circumstances, only Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Shizi would ride the carriage with this family crest.
Gu Yunchang frowned slightly.
Even if King Kang didn’t say it outright, she knew very well that he suspected that Duke Wei had also voted for the eldest prince, Chu Yi.
Gu Yunchang clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes deep and dark.
First was the Duke of England, and then the Duke of Wei. Half of the four princes fell to the eldest prince. These founding honors and honors were also a little rude. They stood in line early one by one, just to learn from the dragon’s merit and to continue the country. Is the government rich? !
They don’t care who is the master of the Ming Dynasty, who can lead the big scene to the prosperity of the world!
Gu Yunchang hid the handkerchief in his sleeve pocket and said sternly, “Your Highness, wait for me here, I’ll go in and find out.”
See who it is.
