There is a fairy wife at home [Red Mansion]

When Gu Ting wrote the second piece, Liu Ye'er went back and forth, saying that Gao's side was free.

Jiang Jinshu confessed to Cao Zhuer and took Liu Yeer to see Gao.

Although the Gu family is not a big family, there are differences inside and outside.Mrs. Gao is the housekeeper's wife, and she takes care of all the big and small things at home, while the things in the fields outside are taken care of by Uncle Gu.Family matters, Mrs. Gao is in charge of it alone, at most, she will lead her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yang to help, and Mrs. Bai, the second roommate, will not want to get involved.However, things are different outside, there is no separation, Uncle Gu is in charge of the power, Uncle Gu is not idle, each has assigned errands, it's just that Uncle Gu is lazy, doesn't care about affairs, and often hides Lazy, after all, there will be no shortage of his money at home.

After breakfast, Gao shi took care of the chores at home, and now he was looking at the gift list of yesterday's marriage.

Gao was originally illiterate, but after marrying into Gu's family for so many years, Uncle Gu is still a child, and Kuang is the director of the family, so he has to handle some accounts by himself, so he has to learn a few words, the most important thing is keeping accounts.Nowadays, although she doesn't recognize many people's names on the gift list, she is very clear about how much wedding money the family has given and how much it is calculated.

Nothing else matters, Gao only thought of the dowry from this marriage, and felt distressed as well.

200 taels of silver!

Their Gu family has a total of 180 mu of land. Even if the years are good, they will not be able to collect 200 taels of silver a year.Mrs. Gao didn't like it at first, but she didn't say it out. Mrs. Bai made a big fuss, so Mrs. Gu had no choice but to say that she wouldn't move.As usual, 50 taels from the public office, and the rest is the savings left by the three-bedroom couple, and the old lady Gu's private house.

Even so, the two rooms are still dissatisfied.

The third room, Gu Jicheng, died early, and the woman he married was not from a wealthy family, so how much money can he keep?The people who went to the exam with Gu Jicheng at the beginning, out of friendship, each contributed some mourning money. There were about 30 taels in one place. , all from Mrs. Gu.

However, the houses have not been separated, even if they are separated, Mrs. Gu's private house should be divided into three equally, why is she so partial to Gu Ting?It's true that Gu Ting is a grandson, but Gu Xu is also the eldest grandson of the head of the house!

It's not that Gao is ignorant, but seeing that Gu Ting has lost his biological parents and is a fool, so he refrained from saying anything, but he felt really uncomfortable.Another one, everyone knows that studying is the most expensive. Earlier, Gu Xu and Gu Qing were studying together, and the difference was not obvious. Now that Gu Xu doesn't read, only Gu Qing is left. Every time I see the large amount of reading on the account Gao's heart is blocked by expenses.

"Miss Ting is here."

Gao Shi heard the voice of the servant girl outside, and put away the gift slip.

When Jiang Jinshu came to the main courtyard, she had to ask Mrs. Gu who was in the upper room first.

Xiaomei was sitting on the porch doing needlework, she got up and said, "Grandma is short-spirited and went to bed late last night. She just felt sleepy and fell asleep."

Mrs. Gao came out of the East Wing, and asked with a smile, "Is Ting's daughter-in-law looking for grandma?"

"Auntie." Jiang Jinshu smiled and said, "Jinshu has something to ask Auntie, I wonder if Auntie is free right now?"

"You're welcome, just come to me if you have anything to do. Come in and sit down." Gao's heart changed, and she had a slight guess about her coming.

The few maids of the Gu family are not personal servants at all, if they are placed in a rich family, they are rough envoys, and most of them do things like sweeping, cleaning, washing and so on.When Jiang Jinshu came over, the maids just passed on a message, and they didn't follow Mrs. Gao's orders, so they didn't follow her into the house to serve tea to the guests.

Gao personally poured tea for her, but Jiang Jinshu hurriedly got up and refused.

"Our family doesn't have so many rules, you just need to be more comfortable." Gao smiled and let her sit down.

Jiang Jinshu smiled, but didn't go around in circles. She glanced at Liu Ye'er beside her and said, "I'm just getting started, so I don't know many things. If there's something wrong, please correct me. Don't think I'm stupid. My aunt also knows that I brought a whole family with me when I came here. They are my mother’s dowry, and Aunt Xu is my mother’s nanny. She also took care of me since I was a child. Seeing that the rules of the family are different from those of my natal family, I came here to ask, how should the family of this house discuss the rules?"

Mrs. Gao looked at her in surprise, and thought to herself, she really is a lady from an official family, and she is indeed different from girls from ordinary families.

Open your mouth, first put on an attitude of humility and humility, no matter what is inside, these words make people feel comfortable.Then he tells the background of the dowry marriage, one explains why it was brought, and the other points out the importance of Aunt Xu and others to her, at least other people can't touch them at will.At the end, the word "according to the rules" shows that she has some understanding of the Gu family, and she must be aware that the Chen family also brought people with them when they started. The so-called "according to the rules" is of course according to the Chen family's example.

As for Jiang Jinshu's reason for coming, Gao had already guessed, but she didn't expect her words to be so secure.

The old man of the Gu family had contacts with the Jiang family in his early years, and to be a relative, he naturally had to inquire about the details of the personnel.It is not difficult to inquire about Jiang Jinshu's affairs, not to mention that she has never been out of Jiang's house in her life, even the North Courtyard where she lives has not been out a few times, and the people she has contacted are even more limited, and there is no relative who is sincerely interested in her. A simple and soft little girl, who knows that she is a formidable one.

Mrs. Gao was also straightforward, and said directly: "After all, our family is just an ordinary family of farming and studying. The maids are all bought to do rough work, unlike the rich family who ask the maids to wash their face and comb their hair. Qing's daughter-in-law's family is a big family in the town. Raised by a wealthy family, she accompanied a few servants when she got married, and these people belonged to her, and the family didn't care about them, and she usually wouldn't order her people."

After taking a sip of tea, she seemed to think of something, and smiled: "Your second aunt loves her daughter so much, she bought a little girl with her private money for this, and also pampered the third girl. The left side is just a mouth to eat, the other side, The family doesn't care."

There are voices outside the words.

Don't look at the smile on Gao's face, it seems that he is just saying a gossip, but in Jiang Jinshu's ears, it is a real complaint and sarcasm.

It is understandable for Mrs. Gao to be dissatisfied with the second room. After all, the second room is the most expensive nowadays. If a Gu Qing wants to study, it is a bottomless pit. A Gu Xiangxiu is not married and wants to be raised as a charming lady, and there is a Gu Kang. It seems that he is not a master who saves worry and money, not to mention the second uncle of the Gu family and the Bai family.Looking at the big house again, Gao's housekeeper, Yang's taking care of the two children, Uncle Gu's father and son leave early in the morning and return to take care of the fields outside, but there is a feeling that all the money they earn is filled into the second room.

However, if Gu Qing gets fame, the entire Gu family will benefit.Gu Xiangxiu is the daughter of the Gu family, and the two families are not separated, so they should be separated when they are brought up and married.

Back in the west courtyard, Jiang Jinshu said to Aunt Xu and the others: "From now on, you will still receive your monthly bills from me, only how much you will receive, so don't let your mouth slip, lest other people feel wronged."

Aunt Xu and the others nodded, and then asked: "It's enough for the girl to have willow leaves and grass pearls by her side, but it's our husband and wife..."

In the Jiang family, there were many people and many things. Aunt Xu and Uncle Xu always had to deal with it, but the Gu family was simple, so they were left idle.

"Not in a hurry for now, see you later."

Aunt Xu didn't ask any more questions, she just said with emotion: "Miss, look at it, it's more transparent than before."

Jiang Jinshu looked up, and sure enough, she saw Aunt Xu sizing her up with dark eyes.Her change was so obvious that Aunt Xu was distracted by other things before, but she also noticed it now.

"Is that bad?" Jiang Jinshu asked back.

"It's very good, it's just that fourth master..." Aunt Xu didn't expect any ghosts and gods. Apart from comfort, she felt sorry for Gu Ting.

"If it wasn't for his special circumstances, how could I have gotten this blessing?" Jiang Jinshu advised her to look away, after all, their master and servant knew best about their life in the Jiang family.

The first three days of the wedding were the quietest, no one came to disturb, and Gu Ting was easy to coax, so Jiang Jinshu just assigned Aunt Xu and others, and stayed in the west courtyard with peace of mind.Every meal time, there will be a girl to bring the food, and all the rooms eat from the same pot, so there is nothing to be picky about.

At noon, there are two meat dishes, one vegetarian meal and one soup, which is enough for her and Gu Ting.The staple food is white rice.The Gu family has a lot of fields, so there is no shortage of rice and noodles, and the locals prefer rice, so they eat less noodles.

Jiang Jinshu also took a look at Ye Liuer's meal.The servants ate half an hour late, the same white rice, one meat dish and one vegetarian dish, the vegetarian dishes were fresh, but the meat dishes were obviously leftovers from the wedding banquet.Aunt Xu and the others didn't have any differences. They used to eat like this in Jiang's family. Occasionally, they offended the second room, and they didn't give them food.

Gu Ting felt sleepy after lunch.

It's April now, and the weather is slowly getting hotter.

Jiang Jinshu settled Gu Ting to sleep, pretending to be sleepy too, dismissed Liu Ye'er and the others, and closed the door.She didn't sleep, but was thinking about cultivation.Practicing again, the same technique, it is not difficult for her, but the trouble now is that there is no time.

The first step in comprehension is to draw qi into the body and see the spiritual root and understanding. This process varies in length.She is rebuilding, and she has tried it when she was in the Jiang family, and it went very smoothly.She is now a fire and wood spiritual root, and the two spiritual roots are pure and even, so she can get twice the result with half the effort. She has the heart to go all out, as long as the spiritual energy is sufficient, it is no problem to cultivate to the third level of Qi training in one go.However, the difficulty is that she is now a bride, let alone going out, and there are always people watching in Gu's house.

Let's not rush this matter, now she can only settle down every night, draw spiritual energy to wash away the dirt, expand the meridians, and don't rush to break through.She always thinks of a way to go out for a few days.

The first step in laying the foundation is really important.

After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of going back to the door in three dynasties.

When a woman gets married, according to the custom, she will return to her natal home with her husband and son-in-law three days later.Considering the personalities of the members of the Jiang family and their attitude towards this marriage, one can imagine the cold reception on the day they returned home.Jiang Jinshu didn't care, but... she could use this matter to make plans.
