Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Chapter 178 Fighting for Stewardship

Ning Wangfu.

Liu Zhao sat upright in the study, drawing with a brush.

The guard Zhao San walked in, bowed and said, Young Master Qi, the East Palace has already started to make trouble.

Liu Zhao put the finishing touch and said with a cold expression: The trouble is not enough. My son will personally add some firewood to the East Palace to make the trouble even worse.

Please tell me sir!

Liu Zhao played with his thumb and thumbed up, appreciating his paintings, and said, Send someone to the hometown of Prince Zhan Shi and Lord Xu to set a fire.

Then send someone to Xie Mao's hometown and give him a bottom-up salary draw to make them all nervous.

As for the East Palace, nothing beats a backyard fire. The prince concubine and the prince's side concubine are at odds with each other. If my son doesn't make good use of it, wouldn't it be too wasteful.

Your son is wise.

The inner servant Lin Shuping said with a smile: It's not too small to worry that King Zhao and King Yan will conspire behind their backs to gain benefits, and take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of it. This must be avoided.

Liu Zhao's face was cold, and he said, Zhao Wang's mansion and Yan's mansion, the two are already on the same level. It is better for this son to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Let the two princes and uncles fight first, and this son can also sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The inner servant Lin Shuping said, I thought I could start with Concubine Xue Gui and Concubine Xian.

Liu Zhao nodded and said to Lin Shuping, This son will leave this matter to you.

As ordered!

The guard Zhao San said again: The wedding date of the fourth son and Miss Xiao has been set, and it will be in July this year. Shouldn't the wedding date of the son and Miss Gu be set as soon as possible?

The inner servant Lin Shuping also said, Young master is the chief, so you should get married before the fourth son.

Liu Zhao was silent.

The guard Zhao San dared to guess, Is the son worried about Miss Gu?

Liu Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, The wedding date doesn't need to be fixed for the time being.

The inner servant Lin Shuping hurriedly said, Isn't your son's wedding date later than that of the fourth son? So what?

The guard Zhao San also disagreed.

Liu Zhao, the head of the household, should have been married earlier than the fourth son.

Liu Zhao said: It doesn't matter! Just a wedding date,

Even for a few days at night, I can't help my son.

The inner servant Lin Shuping and the guard Zhao San frowned together, and the two exchanged glances. They both knew Liu Zhao's temper, so they did not persuade him any further.

The two left the study, and Lin Shuping asked the guard Zhao San, Do you know why the young master is not in a hurry to set the wedding date?

The guard Zhao San tried to guess: Perhaps because of Miss Gu. If the wedding date is too close, Miss Gu's dowry will not be ready in time. Unlike Miss Xiao, who started preparing her dowry a few years ago and can marry at any time.

The servant Lin Shuping frowned, Why did the son choose Miss Gu as his wife? It seems that Miss Gu is not favored at home, otherwise the dowry will not be ready by now. I am very worried in my heart, waiting for her to marry. Wangfu, can you beat Miss Xiao and the princess? Don’t try to hold back the young master.”

Girl Gu is a very nice person, but it's just that the concubine Fuzheng's stepmother is on the table. Many things are inconvenient.

The guard Zhao San defended Gu Jiu in a low voice.

Lin Shuping snorted coldly, Change tomorrow, our family has to find an opportunity to meet this girl Gu.

The guard Zhao San frowned slightly and reminded the other party, Don't mess around. Miss Gu is the wife chosen by the son himself. If you mess up, you will anger the son, and you won't be able to go around.

Lin Shuping smiled, Naturally, there will be no chaos in our family. There must be a reason for the young master to choose Miss Gu. I just rush before the big wedding to give the young master how much girl Gu weighs.

...

Gu Mansion!

Xie rested for a few days and finally recovered his energy.

It's February and the weather is getting warmer. Mrs. Xie also intends to find an opportunity to talk to Mrs. Zhang about the housekeeper.

It happened that Gu Yue came to him.

Ask the mother to call the shots for her daughter.

what happened again?

Gu Yue cried out in grievance, Originally, my daughter shouldn't bother her mother with this trivial matter. But the more she thinks about it, the more she feels aggrieved. Not only is her daughter being abused, but her mother is also embarrassed. The daughter must speak up about this.

Xie shi frowned slightly, Tell me about it first.

Gu Yue wiped away her tears and said, For the gold thread used on the wedding dress, the eldest aunt prepared four taels for her daughter, but eight taels for the second sister.

They are both direct descendants of the second house, so why is the gold thread used for my and her wedding gowns double the difference? What does the aunt really mean, is she looking down on her daughter or her mother?

Is it because the mother is the successor to fill the house, and even her daughter should be despised by others?

Bullshit!

Xie was furious, turned her head and asked Chun He, Chun He, what's going on? Why haven't you reported the golden thread?

Chun He glanced at Gu Yue secretly, she was really troublesome.

She bowed and said, Mrs. Qi, this slave-maid only found out about this early this morning, and was about to report to my wife when the third girl came.

Mrs Xie gritted her teeth, The big room is too much to deceive people, so we can't just let it go. Where is the eldest madam?

Chun He said cautiously, It should be in the council hall.

Xie snorted coldly, Follow me to the council hall.

Xie came to the council hall aggressively.

The council hall is busy with people coming in and out.

Gu Jiu, Gu Zhen and the others all followed the eldest wife Zhang to learn how to be a steward.

Seeing Mrs Xie coming in, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, looked at Mrs. Xie's unkindness, waved her hand, and asked the stewards to leave first.

Why did my brother and sister come?

Xie snorted twice and looked around, I didn't come at the right time, you are busy.

After all, Mr. Xie sat down on the chair, sneered, and stared at Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang picked up the teacup and covered the sneer on the corner of his mouth, Since my younger brother and sister know we are busy, and come here at this time, there must be something wrong.

Xie raised his eyebrows, Of course there is something wrong.

At this time, Gu Yue also rushed over, quietly walked into the council hall, and sat down in his seat, thinking that no one was aware of it.

However, everyone in the room noticed her, and guessed that the reason why Xie came here at this time must have something to do with Gu Yue.

Gu Zhen looked at Gu Jiu and asked Gu Jiu with her eyes, do you know why Xie's came?

Gu Jiu shook her head slightly, she had no clue.

It was fine before, but today I suddenly had trouble, and I don't know who offended her again.

She couldn't have offended Xie Shi, could she?

It really is!

It's just that Gu Jiu didn't know it.

After that, Gu Zhen looked at Gu Shan again and wanted to ask Gu Shan if she knew the inside story.

Gu Shan shook her head slightly, she was a monk Zhang Er who couldn't make up her mind, and she was completely confused.

The eldest Mrs. Zhang asked, I don't know what happened to my brother and sister?

Mrs Xie smiled, The first thing is, I want to discuss the housekeeping with my sister-in-law. Our two families are not separated. This mansion is shared by the first and second bedrooms, so you and I should share the housekeeping. I am wrong. ?

Zhang Shi was half-smiling, Of course that's right.

Then should I be the housekeeper too? Xie Shi was aggressive.

Zhang Shi smiled softly, nodded and said, My younger brother and sister should naturally stay with me.

Xie Shi suddenly showed a victorious smile.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang said again: As the wife of the family, I should have the final say in this family. If my younger siblings don't dislike me, I don't mind letting my younger siblings take care of the internal affairs.

Xie's smile froze on her face, What do you mean by big sister-in-law?

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, smiled, My younger brother and sister's plans can be hidden from others but not from me. My younger brother and sister want to be a housekeeper, but they are just looking for opportunities to take over the various properties that the mansion purchased outside.

I don't hide it from my younger brothers and sisters. Over the years, I have indeed used the money from the public to buy a lot of shops, farms, and participate in two businesses. TOEFL, the income has been pretty good these years.

However, I'm going to say something ugly up front. Brothers and sisters can help the housekeeper, such as helping to take care of the kitchen, sewing room and so on.

In the outside industry, younger siblings should not be delusional to interfere. Before we split up, these properties must be managed by our big house.

Why?

Mr. Xie refused, We also have a share of the property outside our second room. As the wife of the second room, why can't I intervene.

Zhang Shi was half-smiling, not showing any affection, and said bluntly, Because I don't believe in my younger brother and sister.

You... Sister-in-law, don't go too far. Could it be that Sister-in-law secretly made false accounts and embezzled the public's money, afraid that I would find out?

Mrs. Zhang sneered, Don't say this again, brother and sister, otherwise, my master has a hot temper, and when our two rooms fight, it won't be beautiful.

Xie's mouth was stunned, Is my sister-in-law threatening me?

Mrs. Zhang sneered, I'm reminding my younger brothers and sisters, be careful that misfortunes come out of your mouth. You dare to accuse me of embezzling money from Duke Mo without any evidence. Do you really think I dare not do anything to you?

Let me tell you, just based on your unwarranted accusations, as the wife of the family, the eldest daughter-in-law, and the old Fengjun of the future Gu Mansion, I am qualified to imprison you in the ancestral hall, so that you can reflect on it.

Xie's face turned pale, You dare!

Mrs. Zhang snorted with contempt in her eyes, Brother and sister can try it, I dare not. Believe it or not, I will put you in the ancestral hall to reflect, and the second brother will not dare to say a word.

Xie's face changed, and he was speechless, unable to say a word.

Mrs. Zhang took a sip from the teacup, Brother and sister have time to read more books and review the rules of the house. The order of elders and children should not be messed up. It's like a girl Yue yelling at Xiaojiu, according to the rules, but you have to fight. The board. There is no distinction between old and young, what kind of style.

Gu Yue's face changed, and he hurriedly lowered his head to reduce his sense of existence.

Xie shivered with anger and laughed, I have gained a lot of knowledge after listening to what my sister-in-law said today. My sister-in-law won't let me manage the property outside the mansion. I recognize it. You should show me the ledger.

Zhang Shi smiled slightly, shook his head and said, Early before the Chinese New Year, the account book was given to the second brother for a look. He read it and said it very well, and he didn't say much. If the younger brother and sister have any questions about the account book, ask the second brother to go, I will not answer.

Xie shi glared, Why didn't I know about this?

Mrs. Zhang said, Then you have to ask the second brother. I don't understand why he didn't tell you.

Xie's face was ashen.

After a moment of silence, she was also very straightforward, and could be said to be able to bend and stretch. My sister-in-law said before that you are going to take care of the kitchen and sewing room for me?

Mrs Zhang nodded, Could it be that my younger brother and sister don't want to?

Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows and smiled, How dare you not want to. My sister-in-law handed over the kitchen and sewing room to me, and I am naturally responsible. But when it comes to the sewing room, there is something I want to discuss with my sister-in-law.

Sister, please speak.

Mrs Xie took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and said, About the wedding dresses of the second girl and the third girl, I heard people say that the sister-in-law prepared eight taels of gold thread for the second girl, but only four taels of gold thread for the third girl. , why is this?

Both children are the direct descendants of our second room, why should they be treated differently? Could it be that my sister-in-law looks down on me and thinks that my child will be inferior to the second girl?

Mrs. Zhang smiled softly, Why are they treated differently, why should my younger brother and sister ask knowingly.

The girl Yue was married to the second son of Haixi Bo, and her status was naturally noble, but it was still far inferior to the eldest son of King Ning.

The second girl was personally ordered by the emperor, and she will marry the emperor's grandson as his wife in the future. Can her wedding dress be less than eight taels of gold thread? Of course not.

If your Yue'er can also marry the grandson as his wife, or marry the eldest son of the Earl's House as his wife, I will also prepare eight taels of gold thread for her.

What kind of wedding dress you have to prepare when you marry a person of any status.

If they were to prepare a wedding dress that did not match their identity, would the younger brother and sister deliberately want to overwhelm the eldest young mistress of Haixi Bo's house, and deliberately make revenge for Yue'er?

That should at least be the same as the golden thread of the wedding dress of the eldest young mistress of Haixi Bo.

Gu Yue said suddenly.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Gu Yue, Senior speaking, Yue'er, as a junior, you shouldn't interject at will. Have you forgotten the rules taught by mama?

Gu Yue blushed and looked at Xie Shi weakly.

Xie Shi snorted coldly, Sister-in-law is so eloquent, whatever comes to your mouth is reasonable.

Zhang Shi smiled softly and said, My brother and sister misunderstood, it's not that I am good at eloquence, but that the truth is there, and everyone knows it.

Just like the dowry of two children, why is Xiaojiu’s dowry of 40,000 taels and Yue’er only 20,000 taels?

It's not just because one is married to the grandson, and the other is only the second son of the Earl's House.

In the girl's house, when they were in their parents' house, everyone was sisters, and they were affectionate and warm, regardless of whether they were superior or inferior.

But after the betrothed, the judgment is made. Very ruthless, but also impossible. Brothers and sisters should have a deep understanding of this.

As soon as Mr. Zhang said these words, the expressions of the girls were a little solemn.

Identity, status, marriage, how ruthless, everyone has long felt.

It's just that no one has said it so directly in the past.

Gu Yue was unwilling and looked at Xie shi.

Mrs. Xie stared at Mrs. Zhang and asked, According to the meaning of my sister-in-law, my Yue'er can only have four taels of gold embroidered wedding dresses?

Four taels of gold are quite a lot. Brothers and sisters, don't dislike it.

Xie snorted coldly, What if I want to add two taels of gold thread?

Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows with a smile and said, If my younger brother and sister are willing to pay for their wallets, I will naturally not interfere. But Gongzhong can only provide four taels of gold for Yue'er. Please forgive me for this matter.

Really deceiving.

Of course, Mrs. Xie refused to understand Mrs. Zhang, she just felt suffocated.

The unlucky rules are there, and she can't do anything about it.

At this time, the Xie family wanted to separate the family like never before.

After the family is split, she can be the master of the house and use as much gold thread as she wants.

What are the rules, all roll aside.

Gu Yue eagerly hoped that Mr. Xie could add two taels of gold for her, but after waiting for a long time, Mr. Xie's promise was not reached.

Twenty-two gold lines are not much, and the wages are not worth much. But her mother refused to give her even this golden thread.

Gu Yue was extremely disappointed in her heart.

Is there anything else brother and sister?

Zhang asked.

Mrs Xie smiled, Since you want to keep the housekeeper, you must first check the ledger. I plan to stay in the council hall and check the ledger of the kitchen and sewing room for the past few years.

Mrs. Zhang was particularly straightforward, and immediately ordered his servants, Go, send someone to the account room and bring over all the accounts from the kitchen and sewing room for the past five years.

Then, Mrs. Zhang asked Mrs. Xie, Brother and sister, do you want me to arrange a Mr. Accountant for you?

Xie shi simply refused, No, I have someone here who can settle accounts.

That's good.

Mrs. Zhang smiled, Girls, I'm busy here today, you should all go away.

Gu Jiu and the others got up, said goodbye and left.

Gu Yue caught up with Gu Jiu, Second sister, I have something to tell you.

What does the third sister want to say?

Gu Jiu looked back at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue rushed forward, stood in front of Gu Jiu, and said, Just because the person you married is the emperor's grandson, you are pressing me everywhere. I'm not convinced.

Gu Jiu looked at the sky and smiled.

Third sister, if you're not convinced, go and talk to your wife. It's no use talking to me. It's just the so-called marriage event, the word of the matchmaker ordered by the parents, this is not something we can decide.

Gu Yue's face suddenly turned red, What do you mean by that? Are you laughing at me?

Gu Yue's marriage was brought about by her life and death. If you really want to talk about it, it really can't talk about the words of her parents' life matchmaker.

Therefore, when someone else said this, Gu Yue couldn't help thinking too much.

She always thought that others were mocking her.

Gu Jiu said solemnly: The third sister is too worried. I'm just talking about the matter, and I don't mean to be sarcastic. I still have things to do, so I won't chat with the third sister. Farewell.

You stop for me, stop...

Gu Jiu ignored her and left immediately.
