When Gu Jiu walked through the corridor, he saw Liu Zhao.

The two looked at each other across the garden.

Gu Jiu hesitated, and Liu Zhao stood still.

Finally, Liu Zhao nodded slightly to her, then turned and left.

Gu Jiu's heart was certain, the originally uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.

Gu Jiu returned to the side hall, and Wei San also returned.

Wei San whispered to Gu Jiu, I asked, we will definitely be able to leave the palace tonight. It is estimated that someone will come over in a while.

I have to say that Wei San's news is very well-informed.

Before crying for the second time, a servant came.

The madam is gone, the palace is messy. It's not right for the girls to stay in the palace. Ladies, go kowtow to the madam and leave with our family.

Gu Jiu and everyone came to the main hall of the mourning hall and kowtowed to the empress.

After kowtowing, he left the Liangyi Hall with the servant and walked outside the palace.

Gu Jiu was a little worried, the mansion did not know the news of her leaving the palace. When she arrived at the gate of the palace, there was no carriage to pick it up. Could it be that she had to walk back on her legs?

Renting a carriage is also an option. But near the imperial city, there is no carriage rental.

She thought about it for a while, and saw that she reached the gate of the palace.

As a result, she actually saw Gu Yu, fourth brother Gu, and brother Gu Shu.

The two of them personally came to the palace gate to take her back to the palace.

Gu fourth brother, brother, why are you here?

Gu Jun grinned and said, Sister, you are considered leaving the palace.

Gu Yu said: The palace has sent someone to inform you that you will be leaving the palace today. I will come to pick you up with my third brother. Second sister, get in the car first.

Thank you fourth brother Gu. I'm really sorry to let you run here at this time.

Second sister, you're welcome.

Gu Jiu got into the carriage, and the heart that he was carrying really fell into place.

Gu Jun followed into the carriage, Gu Yu sat in the carriage,

with the driver.

The carriage started and slowly left the imperial city, getting further and further away.

Gu Jun was worried, Sister, are you alright these days. When I think that you are alone in the palace, and you don't even have a helper when you encounter problems, I hate myself for not being able to live up to my expectations and not being able to help you. If I succeed, I will be sealed. Hou Baixiang, if my sister encounters a similar situation again, even if I fight for my life, I have to keep my sister out.

Gu Jiu was very moved.

She laughed, Brother, don't worry about me, don't you think I'm fine. Also, if you die, how can you keep me out. Don't think about it in the future.

Gu Jun laughed and nodded, I don't think about it, my sister should take care of herself. If something happens to you, I don't know what crazy things I will do.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Is the house okay?

It's very good, don't worry. The elders all went to the palace to cry, and the eldest brother in the house took people to manage. The next door, the young lady of the Hou House, died the night before, and she was going to have a good funeral. But now the master is in charge. No one is here, so I don't know what to do next.

Gu Jiu followed with a sigh, I didn't expect that the sister-in-law in the hall would go in just a few days.

Gu Jun lowered her voice, I heard that after the eldest young mistress woke up and learned that the child was gone, she didn't say a word. She didn't even give a straight eye to the big brother. It was said that the eldest young mistress hated her heart and didn't want to live. Now, I have to go down and take care of the children. Some people say that Brother Tang is afraid that it will be difficult for the children in this life.

Gu Jiu frowned, Why do you say such a thing?

Even Gu Jun knew about it, so it was incredible. It shows that these rumors have spread widely, from Hou's House to Gu's House, and may even have spread to Jia's House, and then spread all over the capital.

This is not good.

Gu Jun said, I just listened to what other people had to say. In short, it's enough for my sister to be clear in her heart.

Gu Jiu nodded, I see.

As they approached the Gu residence, Qingmei became excited.

Girl, we're finally going home.

A few days in the palace felt like a few lifetimes, and everyone was scared to death.

In the past, I never felt how good the Gu Mansion was. After a trip to the palace, I realized how good the Gu Mansion really is.

If nothing else, at least feel at ease, live comfortably, eat well, and sleep soundly.

I got out of the car at the second door and looked at the familiar scenery and familiar people, as if from a different world.

The second woman flattered and said, The second girl is back, and the slaves are all thinking of you.

Gu Jiu was in a good mood and smiled, Thank you, Auntie.

Qingmei handed over a small purse, the money was not much, and the old woman was still smiling.

The second girl has returned safely, and she will be unparalleled in wealth and honor in the future.

Gu Jiu walked into the second door, and the old women said auspicious words and watched Gu Jiu leave.

She finally returned to the Zhilan Courtyard, quickly changed out of her unlucky clothes, took a hot bath, and lay on the big bed that she had thought about and thought about countless times, Gu Jiu couldn't help but roll a couple of times first.

what!

Lying on a familiar bed, so happy, I don't want to get up at all.

Girl, the eldest young master invites you to go to the council hall, saying that there is something to discuss.

Gu Jiu got up from the bed with difficulty, put on plain clothes, and had no jewelry on his headgear.

The death of the Empress and the state mourning, Gu Jiu did not dare to be careless about these details.

These days, studying the rules in the palace has really learned a lot of useful knowledge.

Gu Jiu went to the council hall with a clean body, and the elder brother Gu Ban had been waiting for a long time.

Several sisters are also there.

When Gu Ban saw Gu Jiu, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Second sister is here, please take a seat. Before my mother left home and entered the palace, she told me that when the second sister came back, the second sister would be in charge of the internal affairs. In the next days, the second sister will have to work harder and take more responsibility.

After that, Gu Ban handed over the keys and the matching cards to Gu Jiu.

Gu Yue watched helplessly as the key and the pair of cards fell into Gu Jiu's hands, her heart was full of anger, and she was extremely unconvinced.

Gu Yue endured, but couldn't hold back.

She said aloud: Brother, why only the second sister is the housekeeper. Can't we do it? We also study the stewardship by the aunt's side, so why are we worse than the second sister?

Gu Jiu looked at Gu Yue with a half-smile. She had just returned to the house, and Gu Yue couldn't help but jump out, but she was really anxious.

Gu Zhen sneered and whispered: You have to compete with the second sister for everything. Do you have the qualifications to compete? Don't look in the mirror to see what you are like.

Big sister, make it clear, what exactly do you mean by what you just said?

Gu Yue was furious and pointed at Gu Zhen's nose.

Gu Zhen snorted coldly and said in a serious tone: I want you to look in the mirror and see how you compare to the second sister? You are always fighting with the second sister, but I want to ask you, why do you think Are you qualified to compete with your second sister?

Why am I not qualified? How can I not compare to Second Sister? Gu Yue looked dissatisfied.

Gu Ban's head suddenly became big. He had heard before that several cousins ​​were not in harmony. But there is a big difference between hearing it and seeing it with your own eyes.

This time I finally saw it with my own eyes, he is the first two big.

He is a big man, and he has no experience in dealing with such things.

He asked Gu Jiu for help, second sister, please stop it.

Gu Zhen sneered, You can't compare to the second sister, don't you have it in your heart?

Gu Yue snorted coldly, You can't even say it, just say I'm not as good as the second sister. I'll tell you, it's not over.

Gu Zhen smiled sarcastically, It's never ending. What's the matter, you want to ruin my marriage? Could it be that you forgot to find Erlang and want to marry Zhang's family?

You are talking nonsense! Gu Yue was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Gu Ban's brain is like a paste, they are all sisters, why do they quarrel? Can't you all have something to say?

Okay, okay, let's all say a few words less.

However, no one listened to Gu Ban.

Gu Yue and Gu Zhen were still quarreling. You accuse me, I accuse you, you come and go, it is very lively.

Gu Ban was distressed, what kind of sin did he do to get involved in this kind of thing.

He thought that if he married early, these problems could be handed over to his daughter-in-law.

When the wife is not here, it is natural for the eldest grandmother to be the housekeeper.

However, his wedding date is still several months away. It would be too late to find a daughter-in-law to help with the housekeeping.

Gu Jiu couldn't bear to watch Gu Ban continue to suffer, so she said aloud: Third sister, you just said that you are not convinced that I will be the housekeeper for the time being, and you also said why you are not qualified to be the housekeeper.

Now I'll answer your question. In terms of age, I am the elder, and you are the younger. You should listen to me.

When it comes to reckoning, I'll dump you ten streets, you're okay with that.

In terms of prestige, ask the stewards, will they listen to you or me?

In the end, my uncle's mother called my name and asked me to housekeeper for her. You are not satisfied, which means that you are not satisfied with the decision of the aunt.

Could it be that the third sister thinks that you are wiser than your aunt, and you are better at arranging the affairs of the house.

Well, let me ask you, who is the one who manages the stables? Who is the wife of the second door? Where is her man on duty? Where is her daughter on duty?

Gu Yue was speechless.

Gu Jiu's series of questions made her bewildered.

How could she know who was in charge of the stables, how could she care who was the man who was the gatekeeper, and where the daughter was on duty. Simply absurd.

Gu Yue insisted, I'm here to be the housekeeper, so why should I know these things? As long as there is an account book and the cards are right, it's fine.

Gu Jiu sneered, her eyes staring with mockery.

She said: Third sister, you don't even know who is in charge of the people below, and you still plausibly say that as long as you have an account book, you can manage the house with the right cards?

When you are a housekeeper, do you play house and play games as a child? These days you follow your aunt to learn about housekeeping, have you learned to go to the belly of a dog?

If the sewing room is short of sewing fabrics today, it is necessary to send someone to buy it. If you don't know the interpersonal relationship of the manager of the sewing room, and if the person in the sect happens to be the brother of the manager of the sewing room or some other relative, have you thought about the consequences?

I……

You want to say that it's just temporary housekeeping. It doesn't matter if you know about these things, right. Hmph, it's rare to get started with a housekeeper. You don't even know how to prepare and perform well. Who would dare to expect you to do it well next time? Who would dare to give you a second chance?

Gu Jiu spoke sternly, blocking Gu Yue to the point of being speechless.

Gu Yue was extremely annoyed, Second sister, after all, you just think I don't have a housekeeper, right?

Gu Jiu smiled, Exactly! In my eyes, the fourth younger sister is more qualified to be a housekeeper than you.

Third sister, you want a housekeeper, it's still early. When you find out the name of the steward in the house and the relationship between them one day, you will still have some confidence if you speak again.

Now, your so-called dissatisfaction is just a joke. Added jokes.

Gu Jiu, you are too deceiving. Gu Yue roared.

Gu Jiu Tao Tao's ears, Remember to call the second sister next time. Now you don't even have the courtesy, have all the rules been left to the mammy?

puff!

Gu Zhen couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gu Yue was furious, You all bully me, you all bully me. When my mother comes back, I must tell my mother and let her decide for me.

Gu Zhen sneered: Third sister, why do you still look like a child of a few years old. If you can't win, just ask an adult to complain and let someone tell you what to do.

After all, you are also the one who said that you are close, and you will be married to the Haixi Bo Mansion in the second half of the year.

Could it be that you have been wronged in Haixi Bo Mansion, and you have to yell at others, do I have to go back to my parents' house to file a complaint? You are not ashamed, I feel ashamed.

Wow……

Gu Yue suddenly let out a wow and burst into tears.

She didn't leave either, just lay on the table and cried loudly, extremely aggrieved.

Gu Ban was in awe, his forehead hurt even more.

He bowed his hands to Gu Jiu, Second sister, I'll leave everything here to you. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first.

After speaking, without waiting for Gu Jiu to speak, he ran out impatiently. It was as if someone was chasing him from behind.

Gu Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, what about Big Brother Gu Ban?

Gu Yue was still crying, very sad.

But no one paid any attention to her, and even Gu Shan, who had always been headed by her, remained silent.

Gu Jiu opened the account book and said to everyone, I'll go through the accounts first. If there is no problem, we will arrange the affairs for the next few days. In this way, we only need to spend a small amount of time in the morning to deal with housework. The rest When it’s time, I’ll go to the Hou’s house next door to help with the funeral of the concubine’s sister-in-law.”

Gu Zhen nodded again and again, I listened to the second sister. The Hou Mansion next door is full of people, and there is a funeral, and when the aunt in the hall and the others enter the palace, the Hou Mansion is in chaos.

I went to Hou's Mansion this morning. Sister Mei was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and everything had to be handled by her. Even if she had three heads and six arms, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough.

Gu Shan also said: We are in the same breath as the Hou Mansion. There is something going on in the Hou Mansion, and we should go there to help.

Gu Jiu smiled, Big sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, sixth sister, if you have time, then work out the accounts with me. Would you like to?

Of course I would.

Everyone picked up the abacus and began to settle accounts.

Among them, Gu Jiu was the fastest.

Not only fast, but elegant. Flicking the fingers lightly, the accounts are clear and clear at a glance.

In the council hall, only the sound of abacus and Gu Yue's crying could be heard.

Gu Yue cried and cried, and felt boring.

Because a person's cry, but no audience, crying is useless and superfluous.

She was crying in the council hall, originally to gain everyone's sympathy, hoping that someone would come to comfort her and stand with her to accuse Gu Jiu.

In the end, what she got was all the indifference and the sound of abacus in a room.

The sound of the abacus was so harsh that it fell into his ears, making Gu Yue feel like he was going crazy.

She gradually stopped crying, gritted her teeth, and stared at Gu Jiu angrily.

What kind of shit luck did Gu Jiu have, to be chosen by the emperor's grandson.

If she is not engaged, with her appearance, she might be selected by the emperor.

In this way, it was not Gu Jiu who entered the palace, but her. She can also get the favor of everyone in the house.

The more Gu Yue thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she believed that it was Gu Jiu who stole her chance.

Originally it was all hers, all hers.

Gu Yue took out the handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

She won't admit defeat.

She stared at Gu Jiu, Second sister, I also want to settle accounts with you.

As soon as these words came out, the council hall immediately fell silent.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Gu Yue, but they didn't guess that Gu Yue had the nerve to ask for a settlement together.

Gu Jiu smiled coldly, If the third sister is bored, just go back to the room and rest. These things have already been done, and you don't need your help.

Gu Yue said blankly, I don't want to go back to the room. I'm going to stay here.

Gu Jiu smiled, You can stay here if you want, don't make a fuss, don't disturb everyone's work.

After speaking, Gu Jiu continued to settle accounts with his head buried in his head.

Gu Yue was so angry that she twisted the handkerchief with both hands, and a good handkerchief was almost smashed by her.

But she endured it again and sat silently in her seat.

Gu Jiu glanced at her from the corner of her eye, and was surprised that Gu Yue could not hold back.

Why is Gu Yue's patience so strong?

It seems that during this time, she really has grown a little bit.
