News from the Governor's Mansion always spread quickly.
That night, Gu Jiu learned about the follow-up from Xiao Cui.
Mr. Gu has already spoken, and from now on, Mrs. Xie will still preside over Zhongfu and be the board member.
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled.
When Mrs. Xie was pregnant, everyone in the mansion kept to themselves and no one dared to touch Mrs. Xie.
Now Mrs. Xie has had a miscarriage, Aunt Bai is pregnant, and the servants in the mansion are even more law-abiding, not daring to breathe.
At this time, whoever dares to jump out and make Mrs. Xie unhappy, just wait to be settled by Qiuhou.
Gu Jiu leaned on the soft bed and smiled, "I knew that my wife would turn over sooner or later. I just didn't expect it to turn over so quickly. The master is still soft-hearted, and I can't bear for my wife to continue to suffer."
Qingmei asked: "Girl, do you still have to go out early in the morning the day after tomorrow?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Of course I have to go out. It's a rare opportunity, so don't miss it. Since my wife is not in good health, and I don't have the energy to pay attention to Zhilan Courtyard, I have to hurry up and finish everything."
Xiaocui said with emotion, "My wife turned her hands into clouds and covered her hands with rain. It's so powerful. I feel that everything is under my wife's control."
Gu Jiu laughed, pointed at Qingmei and Qingzhu, "You two, Xiaocui can't see clearly."
"Slave is stupid." Qingmei said.
Xiao Cui was a little embarrassed, "This servant suddenly thought of this sentence, and I think it is most suitable for my wife."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Xiao Cui, your feeling is quite correct. This series of things is probably already in my wife's calculations."
The only exception is probably Aunt Bai's pregnancy.
Aunt Bai is also amazing, she is pregnant for nearly two months, it is impossible for her not to know.
As a result, Aunt Bai just kept silent and was tortured by Mrs. Xie every day.
Until today, when Mrs. Xie had calculated everything, she suddenly launched an attack, which made Mrs. Xie's plan run aground.
At this moment Xie's miscarriage broke out, and one of the purposes was to clean up Aunt Bai.
In the end, Aunt Bai directly counterattacked and caught Mrs. Xie by surprise.
This play is really wonderful.
I don't know if Xie vomited blood from anger.
Qingzhu asked with a look of surprise: "Could it be that the wife is pregnant, is it also calculated?"
Those pots of bloody water can't be faked.
Gu Jiu thought for a while and said, "If you have a doctor to cooperate with pretending to be pregnant, it's actually not difficult as long as the month is not too old."
"Huh? I didn't expect to be able to fake pregnancy."
The girls gasped in admiration as if the door to a new world had been opened.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It seems that you still can't believe that your wife is a fake pregnancy. Then let me ask, if my wife is not pregnant, can she survive this series of crises?"
After a while, Qingmei shook her head first.
Next came Green Bamboo, and finally Xiaocui.
Gu Jiu smiled and asked, "Have you figured it out now?"
The three servant girls nodded in unison, "I figured it out."
However, Qingzhu still has doubts, "But the bloody water in the pots can't be faked."
Gu Jiu said, "The pots of blood are indeed real. Thinking about it carefully, the wife may also be really pregnant."
The three servant girls looked confused. The girl just said that the wife was pregnant with a fake, but now she said that the wife is really pregnant.
It is not clear whether it is a real pregnancy or a fake pregnancy.
Gu Jiu thought about it and said: "Considering the age of my wife and the fact that she has given birth to four children before, it stands to reason that her body is not easy to conceive.
Even if she is really pregnant, the child is likely to be underdeveloped, a stillbirth, and destined not to be born.
Just at this time, many things happened. With the shrewdness of the wife, it is natural that she will choose to use her plan to use this child who is destined not to be born to overcome a series of difficulties. "
"what?"
Several servant girls were opened the door to a new world again.
Xiaocui asked curiously, "How can the girl know so much?"
Qingmei glared at Xiao Cui, "Of course the girl knows a lot."
Xiao Cui realized that she had said something wrong, and she panicked.
Gu Jiu laughed, Xiaocui was quite upright.
She said to Xiaocui: "There are all kinds of knowledge in the books. Combine the books with reality, and you will see the essence at a glance just like me."
The three maids shook their heads in unison.
"The servant girl gets a headache when she reads."
"Slave servants are stupid, not for reading."
"Slaves prefer to listen to people's stories."
"Among all people, only Yanzi has the talent for reading."
Speaking of Jiang Yan, everyone was silent again.
Jiang Yan will soon go to the capital. From now on, they will be separated from each other. I don't know when they will see each other again.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Okay, don't make excuses, I won't force you to study."
"Thank you girl."
The three maids smiled happily. It's nice not to read.
Gu Jiu smiled helplessly.
Forcing a person who doesn't like to study to study, the person who studies is hard, and she is also hard. It is better to give up.
Qingmei said: "My wife had a miscarriage, and the master sent another message to let my wife continue to host the Zhongwei. In this way, after so many things, my wife's skin is not damaged, it's just a few days of suffering."
Gu Jiu shook her head, "That's not how accounts are calculated. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, sooner or later they will take root.
The master and wife can no longer return to the intimacy of the past. For us, this is the biggest gain.
In addition, the master and the Xie family have already had conflicts, which is also beneficial to us. You can't just look at the present, but also look at the long-term. "
Qingmei bowed and said: "Your servant has been taught."
…
The next day, in the morning.
Gu Lin came to Zhilan Courtyard in a good mood and chatted with Gu Jiu.
Gu Lin and Gu Zhen had conflicts, and they didn't talk speculatively, and they couldn't talk together.
Gu Yue and Gu Shan are both descendants. Because of the Xie family, Gu Lin was a little afraid of them, so naturally she would not take the initiative to talk to them.
After counting and counting, only Gu Jiu was left.
Gu Lin sat next to Gu Jiu on the soft bed, "Second Sister, your study is really well furnished."
Gu Jiu laughed, "It's just a broken chair with a few soft cushions."
Gu Lin said: "I don't even have such a broken chair in my room."
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "What do you want, tell Aunt Bai. I promise that Aunt Bai will arrange everything for you in a few days."
Gu Lin pursed her lips and smiled, as if she thought of something very happy.
She showed her wrist, "Second sister, this is my new bracelet, do you think it looks good?"
Gu Jiu stared at the bracelet on Gu Lin's wrist.
Slender wrist, wearing a jade bracelet. The water head of the emerald is very good, and the green is very pure.
This is an emerald bracelet of great value.
Gu Jiu nodded, "It's pretty!"
Gu Lin became happy, "Yesterday, my father sent someone to deliver a lot of things to my aunt, including tonics, medicinal materials, cloth and satin, and various jewelry. This bracelet was given to my aunt by my father, and then my aunt gave it to my aunt. I."
Gu Jiu cooperated and said, "Your aunt is really kind to you."
Gu Lin smiled and said: "That's right! When I came here, I ran into Aunt Hu on the road. I showed her the bracelet, and Aunt Hu also said it was beautiful."
Aunt Hu is the biological mother of the eldest girl Gu Zhen.
Gu Jiu asked, "Has Aunt Hu gone out?"
Aunt Hu has been very low-key in recent years, she has nothing to do, and usually does not leave her room. Shut himself in the room all day doing embroidery, or copying scriptures.
Gu Lin nodded and said, "Aunt Hu is going to greet my wife."
Gu Jiu laughed when she heard this, "Aunt Hu is always respectful to my wife."
According to the usual practice, Aunt Hu only needs to go to the room to say hello on Mondays and Fridays.
Today, neither one nor five.
Of course, it is also possible that Mrs. Xie had a miscarriage yesterday, and Aunt Hu chose to pay her respects today to show her respect.
…
In the room, Aunt Hu respectfully presented the embroidered shoes she made with her heart.
"Madam, do you want to try it on to see if it fits you well?"
Lying on the bed, Mrs. Xie shook her head and said with a smile, "You have a heart. I know your embroidery work. You don't need to try it, it will definitely fit your feet."
Aunt Hu laughed, "It's all taught by my wife."
Xie waved, "Sit down and talk."
Aunt Hu bowed her body and took a step forward, carefully sitting on the stool, and only sat on half of her buttocks.
Mrs. Xie asked with concern: "Is Miss Zhen feeling better?"
Aunt Hu nodded, "Thank you, Madam, for your concern. This child, Zhen'er, is much better."
Mrs. Xie sighed, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Zhen girl. Otherwise, she wouldn't have an accident at the banquet and make people laugh."
Aunt Hu lowered her head with a gloomy expression.
Because Gu Zhen made an embarrassment at Fu Yin's wife's banquet, she locked herself in her room for more than ten days before she was willing to go out to meet people.
Aunt Hu said: "I also blame Zhen'er for being careless and not being prudent enough when things happen."
Mrs. Xie said: "You can't say that. Everyone is afraid. We all know that the big girl is most afraid of caterpillars, and the caterpillars crawled on her body. This matter, speaking of it, is really a coincidence. More Coincidentally, what is that maid called?"
Chunhe said from the side: "It's called Cui Liu, and she was originally a maid beside Aunt Bai. On the day of the banquet, Aunt Bai arranged for Cui Liu to serve by Miss Wu's side."
Mrs. Xie nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it's called Cui Liu. Chunhe, tell me what happened that day."
Chun He immediately said: "Cui Liu has always been prudent in her work and rarely makes mistakes. She just made a mistake that day and poured a cup of tea on Lu Yi's body.
The eldest girl thought the green clothes were dirty, so she asked her to wash them. As a result, as soon as the green clothes walked for a while, the caterpillars crawled onto the big girl.
Cui Liu was not afraid of caterpillars, and even caught caterpillars for the eldest girl. But she shouldn't be holding the caterpillar and dangling in front of the big girl.
Otherwise, the eldest girl would not fall to the ground and her clothes would be dirty. It also made many people laugh. "
Aunt Hu's face changed slightly, she looked at Chunhe, "Is that true?"
Chun He nodded heavily, "If Auntie doesn't believe it, you can ask the eldest girl."
Mrs. Xie asked Aunt Hu, "Didn't you ask girl Zhen carefully about this?"
Aunt Hu said: "That child, get angry with me, and she won't tell when you ask her. That damn girl in green, she wasn't around when the incident happened, so she didn't know if she was asked. The servant girl thought, this is an accident, Didn't even dig into it."
Mrs. Xie coughed lightly, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and then said, "This should be an accident. Fortunately, there is a maid like Cui Liu. If the caterpillar crawls into the neck of Zhen's neck, think about it. horrible."
Aunt Hu said in a low voice, "It's just that Zhen'er is unlucky. The caterpillar didn't crawl on other people, but on her. It's a coincidence."
"Yeah, this is really a coincidence. Thinking about it carefully, I always feel a little unbelievable."
Mrs. Xie stared at Aunt Hu, "You don't think too much, do you?"
Aunt Hu shook her head again and again, "My concubine won't think too much about it."
Mrs. Xie laughed, "You are a loyal person, so I knew you would not think too much, let alone contact Aunt Bai. There is no conflict between Aunt Zhen and Aunt Bai, and Aunt Bai has no reason to harm Aunt Zhen. All this is just a coincidence ,Right."
Aunt Hu nodded heavily, "What the wife said is a coincidence."
After chatting for a few more words, Aunt Hu got up to leave.
Chunhe sat on the footstool and beat Xie's legs.
"Ma'am, do you think Aunt Hu listened?"
Leaning against the head of the bed, Mrs. Xie smiled, showing satisfaction, "Don't worry, Aunt Hu is not an idiot."
Chunhe asked cautiously again: "Will Aunt Hu know how to do it?"
Xie nodded affirmatively, "Sooner or later."
Chun He laughed, "If something happens to Aunt Bai, the wife can't be blamed."
Mrs. Xie snorted, "Of course it can't be blamed on Mrs. Ben. The master told me to ensure that Aunt Bai gave birth safely. As the mistress of the house, I naturally want to take care of the master's worries and share the master's worries. Dare to slack off in the slightest.
However, if someone secretly treats Aunt Bai badly behind my back, I won't be able to find out in time. If something really happened, the only blame is that Aunt Bai didn't have the life to give birth to a son. "
Chun He smiled and said, "Madam is absolutely right. Aunt Bai definitely didn't have the life to have a son."
Xie smiled slightly.
The master beat her and asked her to ensure that Aunt Bai gave birth safely, so she would definitely not do anything to Aunt Bai.
If she doesn't do it, it doesn't mean that others won't do it.
Anyway, as long as she didn't do it, if something happens, the master can't put the responsibility on her.
…
Aunt Hu came out of the upper room with a gloomy expression on her face.
The sun is high.
It's autumn, and the weather is still hot, even hotter than summer.
She walked along the garden path, plucked leaves, crumpled them up, and dropped them on the ground.
Seeing this, the maid Hongmei asked, "Auntie, aren't you going back to your room?"
Aunt Hu smiled, "Aunt Bai is pregnant, I haven't gone to congratulate her yet. Let's go, follow me to the Acacia."
Hongmei was a little worried, "Auntie, Madam is clearly using you as a knife to deal with Aunt Bai. The master has said that anyone who dares to touch Aunt Bai will end up badly. Please think again, Auntie."
Aunt Hu looked back at Hongmei and said, "You must listen to what the master says, and even more so to what the wife says."
"The servant doesn't understand." Hongmei looked confused.
Aunt Hu sighed, "Zhen'er has reached the age to talk about marriage. And Heng'er, he wants to study and become an official, marry a wife and have children, what can't be done without the help of his wife
If I don't listen to my wife, what if my wife finds a random family in the northwest and betroths Zhen'er
It's bitter cold in the northwest, it was fine when the master was an official here, the man's family should at least show Zhen'er a bit of face.
But the master will not be an official in the northwest all his life.
When the master leaves, we all leave too. Liu Zhen'er is alone in the northwest, the sky is far away, and she is bullied, who can stand up for her.
What I am most afraid of is that one day my daughter will die in the northwest, but I will not know anything about it, and I will not even be able to see her for the last time. "
When Aunt Hu talked about her sadness, she couldn't help crying.
"No, definitely not." Hongmei hurriedly comforted Aunt Hu.
Aunt Hu wiped away her tears, "Now you know why I listen to my wife."
Hongmei nodded again and again, "The servant understands. Everything my aunt does is for the sake of the eldest girl and the fourth young master."
Aunt Hu was heartbroken, she couldn't help but sighed, "For Zhen'er and Heng'er, even if I'm made a heinous person, I'm willing.
Besides, the bastard of the Bai family actually arranged for someone to plot against Zhen'er at the banquet, making Zhen'er embarrassing in front of so many people, how could this matter be let go. She wanted to have a son, but I refused to let her do so. "
Aunt Hu put down her harsh words and walked resolutely towards the Acacia House.
The Acacia House is very lively, and the maids are all smiling.
Aunt Bai kept watch until the clouds opened to see the moon, and when she gave birth to her brother, the ups and downs of the Acacia House would raise all boats. Going out, the voice of talking is louder than other courtyards. Who made them confident.
"Isn't this Aunt Hu?"
The concierge of the Acacia Courtyard had a playful smile on her face, without any respect.
Aunt Hu didn't mind, "I'm here to visit Sister Bai, please let me know."
After all, a string of money was put into the hands of the mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law weighed the weight, "Wait, this servant will go and report to my aunt that Aunt Hu is here."
As soon as the old woman left, Hongmei said unhappily: "A dog sees people as inferior, sooner or later they will stumble."
Aunt Hu reminded Hongmei, "Don't worry about these villains."
After a while, the mother-in-law came back, "Aunt Hu, please, my aunt is very happy to hear that you are here."
Aunt Hu smiled, "Sister Bai is really happy."
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Of course. The slaves don't talk nonsense."
Aunt Hu smiled and said, "Thank you."
Aunt Hu walked into the Acacia House.
The master dotes on Aunt Bai, this yard is even bigger than hers, and the lighting is better.
Even though she was dissatisfied in her heart, Aunt Hu concealed it very well, and would not reveal any real thoughts.
She was welcomed into the bedroom by the servant girl.
Aunt Bai was lying on the bed to raise her baby.
"Sister Hu is here, please sit down."
"Sister has twin bodies now, don't get up, just lie down."
Aunt Hu took two steps forward and held down Aunt Bai who was about to get up.
"Sister's complexion is not good, she must have hurt her body yesterday. Sister, please take care, the master is still counting on you to add a brother to the mansion."
Aunt Bai caressed her abdomen, "Sister also thinks my baby is a brother?"
Aunt Hu nodded, "It must be brother."
Aunt Bai laughed, "Borrow my sister's good words."
Aunt Hu took Aunt Bai's hand and talked about parenting lessons.
Aunt Bai listened very carefully.
Aunt Hu narrowed her eyes slightly, bitch Bai, do you want to have a son? dream.
Even if you are really lucky to be born, your child is destined not to grow up.
In the mansion, anyone who offends his wife will not end well.
Aunt Bai is no exception.
