498, Aunt Pei had an accident
As natives of Nanyue who have no concept of real estate, after hearing Gu Qianxue's words, Yulian and Yucui's hearts were filled with passion, and their eyes were even redder.
Yu Cui said, "Miss, wherever you are, that is our home."
Gu Qianxue rolled her eyes, "So why are you so naive when I ask you to study more? Don't tell me you won't get married in the future? The silver you save will always be silver, but if you exchange the silver for a house, it will increase in value ! When you get married, each of you brings a house in the capital, what a domineering dowry, understand?"
Yulian said, "Miss, don't worry, we sisters listen to Miss, and we will do what Miss says. After a few days of rest, the servants will go out to find a house."
Gu Qianxue nodded and reached out to pat the top of Yulian's head, "This is a good boy."
After finishing speaking, Gu Qianxue couldn't help but think in her heart—or else she would buy a house too. With her current wealth, it is an exaggeration to say that she bought half a city, but it is possible to buy a whole street. Waiting for the house to appreciate in value in the future... Thinking of this, I feel extremely sad.
What about appreciation? She still has no place to spend and consume. When there is no desire to consume, the desire to make money also disappears.
Raising her head and looking at the boundless sky, Gu Qianxue couldn't help but murmur, "Aunt Pei...it's really a difficult job, if Aunt Pei finally can't bear it and runs away, how good would it be?"
"Miss, what did you say?" Yulian didn't hear clearly, so she asked.
Gu Qianxue smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's go to Peony Garden."
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew out of nowhere.
Yu Cui said, "Hey, why is this gust of wind so short, it will die out in a while."
Yulian said, "It's not good if you don't have it? It's unlucky to have strong winds during the Chinese New Year."
Gu Qianxue scratched her head, but she had an illusion—just now, someone flew over with light work.
Today is the New Year, not only the streets are full of festivities, but even Gu Shangshu's mansion is also full of festivities.
In the entire mansion, all the houses were hung up and climbed up, the trees were wrapped with red cloth, the ground was swept clean, and the servants also put on the new clothes issued by the mansion. I hope that the old lady can give out more red envelopes for the New Year.
After all, after fifteen years, Gu Shangshu and the old lady finally expected their first child, although there is still a month to go before the birth.
It stands to reason that this day of family celebration should be spent in the old lady's Manfuyuan, but because Mrs. Zhao is pregnant and inconvenient, the old lady simply moved the festival to the Peony Courtyard.
The old lady and Gu Shangshu came, so naturally the aunts had to follow.
If it is someone else's family, even if it is pretending, it can still pretend to be a beautiful (virtual) and good (false) scene of harmony between wives and concubines, but who is the Zhao family? His mental insufficiency is only like a child of a few years old, and he was spoiled by Gu Shangshu when he was pregnant, and now he has a very bad temper.
Thinking that these women were all robbing her for marriage and marriage, he didn't get angry, and drove the group of people out with a broom with a big belly.
If it was normal, Gu Shangshu and Zheng Shi would have reprimanded her long ago, but the eldest son of the Gu family will be born in a month, so how can they care about the aunts? She hurriedly coaxed Mrs. Zhao to put down the broom, and only her family of five celebrated the festive season.
Five people? The old lady Zheng Shi, Gu Shangshu, Zhao Shi, Gu Qianxue, and the boy in Zhao Shi's belly.
In the room, Mrs. Zheng asked Gu Qianxue about the affairs of the palace in detail. Gu Qianxue answered them one by one, and Mrs. Zheng gave some more instructions. She also said that after the Chinese New Year today, and returning to the palace early tomorrow morning, nothing is more expensive than serving the emperor, queen and harem People are more important.
Gu Qianxue rolled her eyes when she heard this, thinking that this old lady is really hopeless, her child is not staying at home, so she must send it to someone else's home? She racked her brains every day to get out of the palace, but the old lady was nice enough to force her into the palace. Entering the palace, entering the palace, which uterus to enter, can she still squeeze the queen out and become the queen
Compared with Zheng Shi, Gu Shangshu was much calmer, just listening quietly, when he heard that Zheng Shi asked Gu Qianxue to return to the palace, he couldn't help interjecting, asking Gu Qianxue to stay at home for a few more days to accompany Zhao Shi.
Gu Qianxue secretly said in her heart - this is just like a person's words, if I don't accompany my cheap mother, what are you doing with those strangers
When Mrs. Zheng wanted to say something again, Gu Qianxue asked Mrs. Zhao if she wanted to eat Peking duck.
Mrs. Zhao became impatient for a long time. When she heard that there was roast duck to eat, she immediately became elated. She repeatedly clapped her hands and said that she wanted to eat roast duck. .
Gu Qianxue found a gimmick, and hurried out to cook roast duck, which took two full hours.
The sun is westward.
I vaguely heard the sound of firecrackers coming from outside the mansion. This was the firecrackers for the New Year's dinner.
According to the rules of Nanyue Kingdom, in the evening, one has to eat the last meal of the old year, not to mention the richness of the dishes, but also to keep a lot of each dish, which means that there is more than enough every year. And before dinner this old year, firecrackers are used to celebrate, which means prosperity.
After eating the roast duck, they were not hungry at all. The maids brought up the delicacies while saying festive words.
It was too late to say it, but when Gu Shangshu ordered his servants to set off the whip, he saw a panicked old woman stumbling towards her, "It's not good, it's not good, old lady is not good, my lord is not good Already!"
When Zheng Shi heard this, her complexion sank. "Presumptuous, today is the New Year, a festive day, why are you shouting? Come, clap your mouth!"
As soon as Mrs. Zheng finished speaking, her confidant, Nanny Zhou, stepped forward, grabbed the old lady and was about to slap her.
The old lady said, "The old lady will be beating the servants later, wait for the servants first... finish talking... something serious happened to Shaoyaoju..."
Zheng was taken aback, "What happened?"
Gu Shangshu and Gu Qianxue were also puzzled and hurried to look.
The old lady ran in a hurry, panting heavily, took two deep breaths, and then said. "It's like this. After the eldest lady came back, she chatted with the second lady in the small garden, and then the second lady lost her mind and went to Shaoyaoju. The servants of Shaoyaoju said that the second lady and Aunt Pei had a quarrel, although they don't know what the quarrel was about. But the quarrel was fierce, and in the end the second lady ran out crying."
"And then?" Zheng asked anxiously.
The old lady said, "Then, Aunt Pei wanted to come to the Peony Courtyard to spend the New Year with the old lady, the master and his wife, but she was kicked out. When she got back, she said she had a headache and wanted to sleep for a while, so she drove everyone away, and then...after..."
"What happened after that?" After all, he was the person next to him, and Gu Shangshu was also very concerned about Aunt Pei.
The old lady hesitated, "Afterwards, the servant girl saw that it was getting dark and was about to eat New Year's dinner, so she went in and asked Aunt Pei, but she saw... but saw..."
"What did you see?" Gu Shangshu's heart skipped a beat.
"I saw a man on Aunt Pei's bed! Two people lying naked together!"
