Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge
Chapter 170: Asking for money
Qian and Xie Cheng'an really spent two days of peaceful days in Jianjia Courtyard. Without Gu Qiongsi and Dingxiang, they became quieter.
Moreover, Gu Qiongsi had someone send them ten taels of silver the next day for daily expenses.
The three of them, mother and son, had to admire Gu Qiongsi's abilities once again.
Then, Qian heard the news that Gu Ziyu and his wife were coming to Beijing, and she even ran over eagerly. Hiding in the crowd, she saw from afar the neatly arranged carriage and the large boxes that the servants were unloading from the carriage.
The look in her eyes at that time was that she wished a few hands could extend from her eyes, so that so many good things could be pulled into the yard in carts. The yard originally belonged to them, and those good things should also belong to them.
When she walked back to Jianjia Courtyard with an unhappy look on her face, Nanny Li was holding Xie Rui under the eaves to enjoy the cool air, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.
And Xie Cheng'an was serving Master Xie medicine.
"Have you all heard? I saw it all just now. Gu Xunwei's parents moved all the family property in Liuzhou to the east courtyard." Qian walked to the bedside of Mr. Xie and said to them father and son with an indignant look on her face.
The East Courtyard was the Xie Mansion where they used to live. Since the Jianjia Courtyard was located in the northwest corner of the courtyard, they unanimously called the large courtyard over there the East Courtyard, and the Jianjia Courtyard the West Courtyard.
Xie Chengan immediately put down the medicine bowl in his hand after hearing this, "Why, how could they do this? After all, it is our Xie Mansion. They will be criticized if they stay there temporarily as my wife's family members. How can they stay here permanently?"
Now that we have moved in, doesn't that mean we're going to live there for a long time?
"Isn't that right? I didn't expect that Gu Ziyu is a businessman, but he doesn't even understand this little thing. How can Gu Xunwei be taught any better?" Qian also echoed, but the two of them just complained like this.
Gu Qiongsi rushed back as soon as she heard about it, and said to Xie Chengan with a happy face, "Sanlang, that may not be their family property, but the dowry that my aunt prepared for Gu Xunwei."
"What are you going to do? Where's Dingxiang?" Xie Cheng'an looked at her coming back by herself, still eager to try, and immediately became alert.
"Dingxiang is still helping out in the shop. Sanlang, let's go and pay our respects to uncle and aunt together. After all, you are still husband and wife. How can you, as the son-in-law, not show up when your parents-in-law arrive?"
After Gu Qiongsi finished speaking, she was about to go out, but she saw that Xie Cheng'an had no intention of going over and was still sitting motionless in front of Master Xie's bed.
He couldn't afford to lose face with that person. They had done such a thing to the father and daughter in the past. How could he have the face to see them now?
Gu Qiongsi felt contempt in his heart. They were almost unable to survive, but they were still trying to save face.
"Are you really not going? Uncle and aunt are both very generous. They always give me a lot of good things every time they see me." Gu Qiongsi tempted Xie Chengan.
Xie Chengan naturally knew that before Gu Xunwei got married, he would go to see Gu Ziyu whenever he had something to do, and every time he went there, he could be described as "returning with a full load."
Although he is just a businessman, he has a room full of valuable calligraphy and paintings, as well as priceless pens, inks, paper and inkstones. He cannot afford even a single set.
But now that this situation is over, how could they still treat me the same way they did in the past?
"I won't go. I still have to take care of my father." Xie Cheng'an found a lame excuse and rejected Gu Qiongsi's proposal.
Because the last time he went to Gu Xunwei to borrow money, he still remembered the other party's attitude.
Qian's attitude was completely different from his. "Ang'er, since it's not convenient for you to go, then mother will take her with you. It's not reasonable for me as a mother-in-law not to show up. We can't let them pick on us."
After saying this, Qian tidied her hair, found a round fan of decent style, and then took Gu Qiongsi to the gate of the east courtyard.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Madam Xie. The masters in the house are busy putting things in order today, so it's not convenient to entertain guests. How about you come back in a few days?" Uncle Fu, the old butler from the Gu Mansion, smiled and gave them the cold shoulder.
"Isn't this a coincidence? The two of us are here to help. Besides, isn't this our Xie Mansion? How come we are guests here?" Qian didn't care and smiled politely at Uncle Fu.
"Xie Mansion? Madam Xie is probably still asleep. Look up and see what's hanging on the door of the mansion?"
Uncle Fu watched Gu Xunwei grow up from a little girl to the young lady she is now. She was raised in luxury at home, but was bullied like that when she came to the Xie Mansion. He was already full of anger, and when he saw Qian and the others, he could no longer bear it.
After listening to this, Qian exchanged a glance with Gu Qiongsi, and they both took a few steps back before retreating to the street at the door. They were shocked to see the plaque hanging outside the door of Gu Mansion in Liuzhou, which was already hanging here.
"Fu, Uncle Fu, this... isn't this the plaque of the Gu Mansion in Liuzhou? Why is it hanging here?" Gu Qiongsi looked incredulous. Did Gu Xunwei really want her parents to move in and live with her?
Such things would be criticized not only in the Great Chu, but even in the relatively open-minded world where men and women are equal, where she lives.
Uncle Fu smiled and didn't want to say more to them, but when he saw their surprised looks, he became interested again.
"My wife said that my young lady was bullied in the capital, and these two people came here to support my young lady. They want to let everyone in the capital know that in the future, no one will be able to bully my young lady again, hum..."
After Uncle Fu finished speaking, without waiting for the two to ask any other questions, he waved his hand and asked the two servants behind him to close the main door, and also closed the side door with a bang.
"Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu, please open the door. I'm here to pay my respects to my uncle and aunt, Uncle Fu?" Gu Qiongsi didn't care about anything else and hurriedly ran up to knock on the door.
Qian had already understood that it was impossible for them to be let in today, and she couldn't help feeling anxious. Was this house really going to become the Gu Mansion in the future?
They were doing well in Liuzhou, why did they suddenly want to come to Beijing? Did they stop running their incense shop?
Qian was thinking about these things, and regardless of the fact that Gu Qiongsi was still knocking on the door, she went straight back to Jianjia Courtyard in a state of uneasiness.
