"Ma'am, you have to make the decision for me."
Aunt Chen rushed into the meeting hall with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Gu Jiu and his sisters opened their eyes, it was the first time they saw such a commotion.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, didn't even move her eyebrows, probably because she has seen too many of them.
She said coldly: "Get up first, and talk about it when you have something to say."
Aunt Chen was crying and crying, but she refused to get up.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, winked, and Shao Yao immediately took the little maid to help Aunt Chen up.
"Aunt Chen, if you have any grievances, tell your wife well."
Aunt Chen sat on the chair aggrievedly, looked at the eldest wife Mrs. Zhang, and burst into tears, "Madam, I am suffering."
The eldest lady looked at Aunt Chen with a look of disgust, "Okay, don't cry. Before you entered the mansion, I told you clearly what kind of person the old man was.
How did you say it yourself? You said you don't care, you just want a fortune.
Now that the wealth is given to you, you come to cry and feel wronged again. Aunt Chen, you want to take advantage of everything, there is no such good thing in this world. "
Aunt Chen didn't feel embarrassed at all, she was still crying, "But I don't know how ridiculous the old man is. He actually, let me drink his, his..."
"Ahem..."
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, glared at Aunt Chen, "The girls are all here, Aunt Chen, when you speak, at least be careful."
Aunt Chen cried aggrievedly, "I also ask my wife to make the decision for me."
The eldest wife Zhang rejected Aunt Chen unceremoniously, "I can't control this matter. There is no reason for a daughter-in-law to control the affairs of the public house, and it is not nice to say it."
"Then why don't you ask the elder to come forward?" Aunt Chen said in a low voice.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, snorted coldly, "There is no reason for a son to take care of the affairs of my house. Aunt Chen, you chose this path yourself, and no one forced you.
Now you regret it, and it's too late to get out. Unless the old man is willing to let you out of the house, you should serve the old man honestly. He said that one day he would be happy and let you leave the house. "
When Aunt Chen heard this, she burst into tears.
"My life is miserable. How did I meet such a ridiculous person as the old man. Ma'am, you don't know, the old man..."
"enough!"
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, interrupted Aunt Chen's grievances rudely, "I don't want to know about the things in the old man's house. If there is nothing else, you can just step back. As you can see, I am busy here."
Aunt Chen looked at Mrs. Zhang pitifully.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was unmoved, she shifted her gaze to Gu Jiu and the others.
Mrs. Zhang sternly scolded Aunt Chen, "Don't think about targeting these girls. They are grandchildren, and I haven't heard that grandchildren can interfere with the affairs of the old man's house. You step down now."
Aunt Chen gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind.
Just at this time, Mr. Gu came.
"Where is the bitch surnamed Chen, let her come out. Who dares to stop the old man, the old man will kill her."
In broad daylight, Mr. Gu rushed into the meeting hall with a drunken face.
Seeing Aunt Chen, he laughed.
Aunt Chen is not afraid of Mr. Gu, but she hates him, she is disgusting.
She yelled and was about to run.
"Where are you going? You don't want to run out of the old man's palm."
Mr. Gu chuckled, rushed up and hugged Aunt Chen, and gnawed on Aunt Chen's face.
"what!"
Hot eyes.
The girls all covered their eyes, it was horrible. How to let them see such a scene.
Gu Jiu didn't cover her eyes, but frowned tightly, feeling disgusted and disgusted in her heart. Why is the old man such a person? It's so disgusting.
"absurd!"
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, was pissed off by Mr. Gu.
"Old man, you should take a look at the occasion. The girls are all here. Your behavior is so absurd, is it plausible?"
Mr. Gu stared at Mrs. Zhang, and then at his grandchildren.
He yelled, "This is the mansion of the old man. I can do whatever I want. You are a woman, get out of here."
After finishing speaking, he hugged Aunt Chen and gnawed again, with his hand still inserted into his clothes.
Seeing that a live performance was about to start, Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear it, "Come here, invite the old man out."
The stout women rushed in to grab old man Gu's hand.
Mr. Gu is a martial arts practitioner, even after drinking alcohol, he is still very strong.
He shook off her hand and kicked her in the stomach.
The mother-in-law yelled and fell to the ground, clutching her stomach and unable to get up.
Three or four women couldn't stop Mr. Gu, and Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she fell on her back.
Gu Jiu made a quick decision, "Wang Yi, throw the old man out."
Yes, what Gu Jiu said was throwing it out.
You really don't have to be polite when dealing with a disrespectful old man like Mr. Gu.
Wang Yi couldn't bear it long ago, now Gu Jiu ordered, she rolled up her sleeves, "Miss, look at me."
Wang Yi rushed up, picked up Mr. Gu, and ran outside.
Old man Gu was almost scared to death, but was suddenly picked up by someone. What kind of rhythm is this
"Presumptuous, presumptuous! Put the old man down quickly, or the old man will kill you."
"Throw him out, Mrs. Ben will be responsible for anything that happens." Mrs. Zhang was also furious, and regardless of her status, she dealt with Mr. Gu first.
Wang Yi yelled, ran out of the courtyard gate, and threw Mr. Gu to the ground with a bang.
"Ahh..."
Old man Gu yelled.
Everyone ignored him, and the wives hurriedly closed the courtyard door to prevent old man Gu from rushing in again.
Wang Yi returned to the meeting hall.
Gu Jiu pointed at Aunt Chen who was on the ground, "Wang Yi, throw this woman out too."
"No! Don't throw me out."
Aunt Chen yelled.
Gu Jiu was not polite at all, and didn't talk nonsense to Aunt Chen, and directly ordered: "Wang Yi, throw her out."
Wang Yi took the order, picked up Aunt Chen, and threw her outside the courtyard gate, just to be with Mr. Gu.
As soon as Mr. Gu got up from the ground, Aunt Chen was thrown out.
Mr. Gu was looking for someone to vent his anger on, so he chased Aunt Chen and beat him.
Aunt Chen cried and screamed, and ran away quickly.
She was young, in good health, and ran fast, and finally left Mr. Gu behind.
She went back to her own yard, closed the door, strictly guarded against it, and never let old man Gu in.
…
In the meeting hall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Look at this mess, it's absurd, annoying and disgusting.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang rubbed her brows, and asked Gu Zhen and the others, "Didn't it scare you?"
Several people, except for Gu Jiu, all of them were pale, and they all looked like they were seriously frightened.
Mrs. Zhang said: "It won't be surprising if you see more in the future. I don't know how many times there are quarrels at home because of the old man. It's almost Chinese New Year, and there are so many things to welcome and send. The old man will make a few troubles at this time of year Just get used to it.”
How can this kind of thing get used to.
Gu Zhen, Gu Shan, and Gu Lin were almost scared to death. Especially Gu Lin, tears were rolling in her eyes.
Mrs. Zhang went on to say: "Xiaojiu is still smart. The maid next to you is strong enough. She hugged the old man easily."
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Her name is Wang Yi, and I brought her back from the northwest. She has no other skills, but she has been very strong since she was a child."
Mrs. Zhang laughed, "Next time the old man comes to make trouble, I have to let you, a maid, do it."
Gu Jiu said: "Auntie just asks."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Okay, the matter is over, everyone cheer up, let's continue."
Busy and busy, the day passed quickly.
Mr. Gu made a fuss, like a stone sank into the water, without even a single wave.
The people in the mansion have long been familiar with the strangeness. At most, everyone will joke a few times and will not be distracted by this matter.
That is, Mrs. Xie was secretly speechless.
When she married in back then, the old man was not like this.
It's really unexpected that the older the old man is, the more absurd he becomes. Not only absurd, but hateful.
How dare you do such a thing in the meeting hall, in front of the girls.
it's just...
Xie thought, if she had been there at that time, maybe she couldn't help jumping out and scolding the old man for being disrespectful.
Mrs. Xie also paid special attention to Gu Shan.
"Shan'er, don't think too much about the old man. The old man has always been ridiculous, so don't worry about him."
Gu Shan nodded, "Mother doesn't have to worry about her daughter, she is fine. The new maid next to Second Sister has great strength, picked up the old man, and threw him out neatly."
Mrs. Xie felt relieved, "It's good that it doesn't affect you. The old man is really ridiculous. When you see him in the future, just avoid him and ignore him. He is old and disrespectful, so we don't have to respect him too much. "
"My daughter knows."
"I'm going to be a guest at the Hou Mansion tomorrow, what clothes are you going to wear?"
Gu Shan said: "My daughter is going to wear the one for the last banquet."
Mrs. Xie frowned, "That dress has already shown your face in front of people, so why don't you wear it out again. It doesn't matter if you change to two, the color is plain and elegant. You are going to enjoy flowers and drink, not to eat wedding wine, and you don't have to wear red and big clothes." green."
"A daughter listens to her mother."
Mrs. Xie urged again: "Be good when you get to the Hou's mansion. Your third sister... she is not up to date, stubborn, and I can't do anything about her now. Mother hopes that you don't learn from your sister. You are sensible and smart since you were young. Keep on being good." Just fine."
"Ok!"
Gu Shan responded.
She hesitated for a while and asked, "Mother, is the third sister's marriage important?"
Xie frowned, "You don't have to worry about these things, just take care of yourself."
Gu Shan suddenly remembered what Gu Jiu said, and told her not to worry about Gu Yue's affairs.
Gu Shan bit her lip, thought for a while before saying, "Then my daughter will leave."
"Go, rest early. Get enough energy, and get up early tomorrow morning."
"A daughter listens to her mother."
Gu Shan left.
Xie said with emotion, Shan'er was still obedient.
Although Shan'er is not as good at speaking as Yue'er, at least she is obedient and sensible, never causing trouble.
After going through the incidents that Gu Yue caused time and time again, Xie was already exhausted after constantly taking care of her aftermath.
Now she prefers the quiet and sensible Gu Shan, the child will grow up without her needing to worry.
As for that dead girl Gu Yue, forget it, let's not mention it.
…
Early the next morning, everyone packed up, boarded the carriage and set off for the next-door Marquis Mansion.
The old lady Wei asked the girls to stay in the Hou's mansion for a few days, Zhang and Xie naturally couldn't ask for more.
The girl was blinded to live in the Hou's mansion, and was taught by the old lady, and she was also a person of great face when she said it.
When others hear it, the old lady Wei's personally taught the girl will look at her highly. In the marriage market, it will also be more popular.
Of course, Gu Yue would not miss such a good thing.
Even though her injuries were not completely healed and she still had scars, she insisted on going.
Gu Jiu can't afford the opportunity to show his face to himself.
When Gu Yue got into the carriage, his movements were not very flexible, and he looked very awkward.
Seeing this, Gu Zhen secretly smiled, full of gloating.
If you want to talk about what makes her the happiest in recent days, it is Gu Yue who is hit by the board.
It was a joy for Gu Yue to be beaten.
Gu Zhen got into the carriage happily.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, also took a second look at Gu Yue.
"Third girl, you have to be careful, you may hurt yourself."
Gu Yue paused, with a look of embarrassment, "Thank you, auntie, for reminding me."
Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows and smiled, "When you arrive at the Hou's Mansion today, don't run around, be careful what happens."
Gu Yue remained silent.
When Xie heard this, he was very unhappy.
"Sister-in-law, don't gossip. I have to rush to the Hou's mansion to be a guest and teach the third girl about it. It's not too late to talk about it later."
Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Xie with a half-smile, "My brother and sister are absolutely right. Of course, it is the younger sister's responsibility to teach the third girl, and I dare not do it for you."
The two sisters-in-law, you come and go, once confronted, there is no winner.
Gu Jiu watched the whole process through the car window.
It's already obvious that the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, sees through and doesn't tell the truth, and she is very principled.
Those bad things about Gu Yue can be hidden from outsiders, but not from Mrs. Zhang.
But Mrs. Zhang has never said anything about it, and she has never mentioned this matter in public before.
Even today, seeing Gu Yue and thinking of going to the Hou's mansion as a guest, Mrs. Zhang would say a few words.
I have to say that Zhang's behavior is still very good. He didn't take the opportunity to add insult to injury, and even agreed to matchmaking for Gu Zhen.
Mrs. Xie is far inferior to Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Xie is too small-minded, not as generous as Mrs. Zhang, nor as principled as Mrs. Zhang.
Everyone got into the carriage and set off for the Hou Mansion.
There is a lot of traffic at the gate of Hou Mansion.
Today, the Hou's Mansion held a big banquet and invited many guests.
The guests who come here are expensive if they are not blessed.
When passing by the concierge, I also heard that there are royal family members among the guests who came today.
Xie was nervous for a while, with a straight face, she pointed to Gu Yue and Gu Shan, "Yue'er, you know what I'm going to say. If you mess up today's banquet again, I won't care about you from now on. Just find a family to send you out."
Gu Yue trembled all over, with a look of fear, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter must be well-behaved, and I dare not make a wrong step."
Xie groaned, not at ease.
It's not the first day that Gu Yue says one thing with her mouth and does another thing behind her back.
Xie has suffered so many losses, and has already learned his lesson. She didn't worry about Gu Yue until the banquet was over.
Xie mentioned Gu Shan again, "Shan'er, you, I'm not worried. But at today's banquet, you have to perform well and try to make a good impression on the ladies and wives. Remember?"
"Daughter remembers."
Gu Shan secretly looked at Gu Yue.
Gu Yue lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly.
Xie immediately reminded, "You don't have to worry about your third sister's affairs. Just take care of yourself."
"My daughter understands." Gu Shan responded.
Gu Yue didn't say a word, her hands were wrapped in her sleeves, clutching a handkerchief. The handkerchief was almost deformed by her.
Mother now obviously pays more attention to Gu Shan.
Gu Yue felt scared in her heart, did her mother really want to give up on her
Gu Yue secretly took a look at Gu Shan, girl, don't be complacent.
Get off the carriage at the second gate of the Hou Mansion.
Gu Mei followed the third wife, Duan Shi, to welcome the guests at the second gate. When they saw people get off the carriage, they immediately went up to meet them.
The third wife, Mrs. Duan greeted Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xie.
Gu Mei is in charge of greeting the girls.
She took Gu Jiu's hand, "Sister Xiao Jiu, you guys are here, I've been looking forward to you."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I haven't congratulated Sister Mei yet. Congratulations to Sister Mei for a happy marriage, all wishes come true."
"Just make fun of me."
Just a few days ago, Gu Mei's marriage was finally settled.
She and Han Dalang of the Daihou Mansion were formally engaged.
Gu Jiu asked curiously: "Sister Mei, has the wedding date for you and your future brother-in-law been fixed yet?"
"You damn girl, you're still teasing me. Don't talk nonsense about your future brother-in-law."
Gu Jiu laughed, "If you don't talk about your future brother-in-law, then call him Brother-in-law Han, okay?"
"If you do this again, I will ignore you."
"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense. Is Young Master Han coming today?"
Gu Mei's cheeks were slightly red, and she nodded irresolutely, "Here we are."
Gu Jiu laughed, "That's great. Sister Mei's wishes come true, and she needs to drink two more glasses later."
"Don't worry, I'll drink all three glasses."
"Sister Mei, you said this yourself. I won't be polite during the banquet later."
