Aunt Bai sat in front of the dressing table, carefully painting her eyebrows.
Gu Lin sat on the side, "Why is Auntie so happy?"
Aunt Bai laughed and said, "Your father will come over tonight."
Gu Lin cheered up for Aunt Bai, "Congratulations, Auntie."
Aunt Bai smiled and said, "Now you know what I mean."
"Auntie, you mean the second sister?"
Aunt Bai nodded slightly, "At the time when the second girl suddenly started a quarrel and caused Granny Li to suffer, I knew that the second girl couldn't bear it anymore.
The second girl is fighting with his wife. For our mothers, this is a great opportunity.
In order to deal with the second girl, the wife inevitably neglects the other and makes the master unhappy. No, today's opportunity has come. "
Gu Lin asked in a low voice: "My wife must hate my second sister to death. Then do I still want to associate with my second sister? Will it make my wife unhappy?"
Aunt Bai said with certainty: "Of course we will. You are sisters, so don't be alienated. Don't worry about how the wife and the second girl fight. On the surface, everyone should be polite and save face."
Aunt Bai tidied Gu Lin's clothes, put a red gold hairpin on Gu Lin's head, and continued:
"This time, I don't know what the second girl did to make my wife so angry, I heard that she smashed things in the room.
I have already said that the second girl is good at forbearance. People like her usually have deep thoughts. Once you make up your mind, it will definitely be difficult to deal with. ,
The wife just made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, thinking that the second girl is still the person who can endure everything in the past, so she was defeated.
I can see that the second girl is not simple at all. This mansion will become more and more lively in the future.
Lin'er, you have to be alert and learn more from your second sister.
Look at your second sister's methods, she is not in the mansion, she still has a way to make the wife furious, throwing things and swearing at people. "
After speaking, Aunt Bai laughed. It was clearly mocking Xie's existence today.
On weekdays, Mrs. Xie puts on airs, with a dignified and magnanimous appearance.
I didn't expect that once provoked by Gu Jiu, it would reveal its original shape.
A concubine is a concubine!
Even if he is righted, even if he learns to be dignified and magnanimous, the stinginess in his bones cannot be changed.
Aunt Bai fiddled with Rouge, "It's a pity that my wife's natal family is strong, and the master only beats her a little, and won't really punish her. I really hope that one day the Xie family will collapse. At that time, my wife may not even be as good as us."
Gu Lin suddenly asked: "My wife is down, will my aunt be helped?"
Aunt Bai's expression changed in an instant, she scowled angrily, "What nonsense. You dare to say such things, you are looking for death."
Aunt Bai hurriedly stood up, walked to the window and looked around.
Thankfully no one heard.
She walked up to Gu Lin with a serious expression, even a little fierce, "In this case, you are not allowed to say it again in the future, and you can't even think about it, you know
Regardless of my wife's bad luck today, the master didn't give her a good face. But don't forget, the wife gave birth to two sons and two daughters for the master.
The sixth young master has a promising future in his studies. For the sake of the sixth young master's future, even if the Xie family really collapses one day, the master will not really do anything to his wife.
If what you said just now reaches the ears of the master and wife, do you know what the consequences will be. I almost got killed by you. "
Gu Lin nodded repeatedly, her face turned pale. She also regretted it, her mind was twitching, and she said that suddenly.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will never talk nonsense again."
Aunt Bai breathed a sigh of relief, "You, don't just rely on your young age to speak freely, and be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth.
The life of our mother is a little easier, so don't make mistakes at this time. As long as your father is happy, he will also say a good marriage for you in the future. "
Gu Lin raised her head and asked, "Will my father really say a good marriage for me?"
Aunt Bai nodded and said with certainty: "Yes. Auntie will definitely marry you into a wealthy family and become a decent young mistress."
Gu Lin laughed, her little face was flushed. Can't help but imagine what kind of man she will marry.
…
Inside Tianmen Temple.
Just finished the ceremony, Qingmei helped Gu Jiu go back to the room to rest.
Gu Jiu sat slumped on the chair, feeling weak.
This body really can't stand a little fatigue.
Gu Ting followed and said excitedly: "My sister is still very good, she is really good at predicting things.
After his father found out the truth of the matter, he was really furious and sent someone to seal up all the business of the Xie family in Jinzhou.
Even the business of his wife's shareholding has not been let go. Moreover, the servants around Xie Xian were all imprisoned, and they would never want to return to Xie's family to work as errands in this life. "
Gu Jiu smiled, and only asked, "Is Xie Xian dead?"
"He didn't die. I kept all the words you told me in my heart. On the way back to the city, I secretly applied wound medicine to Xie Xian, just in case he died on the way."
Gu Jiu frowned and said with a smile, "It's good that I'm not dead."
Xie Xian is not dead, she and her elder brother are the ones who suffer, and my father will make decisions for them.
If Xie Xian died, in turn, the Xie family would become the sufferer, and the nature of the matter would change.
"Sister, what should I do next?" Gu Ting moved to Gu Jiu's side, full of interest, as if he wanted to do something big.
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Next, we have to finish the religious service first. After that, we will continue to live in Tianmen Temple according to what my father said, and we will start our journey back to the mansion after the mansion calms down."
Gu Ting was a little unwilling, "That's it?"
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Ting, "That's right! Does my brother still want to beat Xie Xian up?"
"No. I mean, should we just watch and do nothing? In case Father gets soft..."
"Father will not soften his heart this time."
Gu Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "Although I don't know what the real purpose of Master Xie Er came to Jinzhou, but I know that my father is a very face-saving person.
This time, the Xie family was really provocative, they didn't pay attention to their father's official authority at all, and thought that the Gu family was someone they could ask for.
Xie Xian wanted to conspire against me, the conspiracy was exposed, and he left witnesses and material evidence.
With his father's temper, how could he easily let go of the opportunity that came to him. If you don't take the opportunity to peel off the skin of Xie's family, you won't be named Gu.
Brother, what do you think is the safest and most effective way to get rich for an official? "
Huh
The topic changed so quickly that Gu Ting couldn't keep up with Gu Jiu's train of thought.
Gu Jiu smiled mysteriously, "Confiscate the house!"
Gu Ting opened his mouth wide and suddenly realized.
"Whether it's an official or the one sitting on the dragon chair, everyone likes to ransack their homes, of course they raid other people's homes. It's a wise saying to get rich by stealing a house. From ancient times to the present, there are no exceptions."
Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Gu Ting digested it carefully, and finally understood what Gu Jiu meant.
"Sister, do you mean that father wants to copy Xie's house?"
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, "The Xie family has accumulated a lot of wealth in just over ten years.
Just talking about the business in Jinzhou, at least, can bring tens of thousands of taels of income to Xie's family every year.
Including real estate, title deeds, mines, and mountains of goods in the warehouse, this is a huge fortune.
Father can't take people to Xizhou to copy Xie's family, but he can copy Xie's business in Jinzhou.
My elder brother personally gave this opportunity to my father, and of course my father would not let it go. "
Gu Ting was stunned for a moment, "I don't have such ability. Obviously, my younger sister gave the opportunity to my father."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Brother don't care about these details."
Gu Ting still had doubts, "But, I heard that the Xie family's business, the wife also has a stake. Copying the Xie family's business, wouldn't it be the same as copying the wife's wealth."
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "My wife's source of income is ultimately my wife's. It's not my father's, nor my family's. At least for now.
Keeping the wealth in the hands of the wife is no better than keeping the wealth in his own hands.
My father is seeking to return to Beijing, and the expenses are high, so he has to find a way to increase income and reduce expenditure.
It is rare that the father and son of the Xie family donate generously, and of course the father will accept it unceremoniously. "
"Did my sister take care of all this from the beginning?"
Gu Jiu smiled without saying a word.
