Chapter 150: Resentment

Gu Daqing turned blue and flicked his sleeves and left.
Xie suddenly became scared, and stretched out his hand to grab Master Gu's sleeve.
"Master, the concubine is confused. The concubine is wrong, the concubine knows it is wrong..."
Gu Da was so popular that he couldn't say anything. He took a few deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart.
"In the northwest, you have always done well. Why did you disappoint the officer again and again when you arrived in the capital? Is the officer too demanding of you, or are you too stupid?"
Xie cried.
The maids had already retired and closed the door carefully.
Xie shook his head again and again, "Master, the concubine really knows something wrong. After returning to the capital, the concubine has been in poor health, and there have been accidents. The concubine will be whimsical for a while. It will never be anymore."
Master Gu snorted coldly and stared at Xie with cold eyes, "If you think that the request of the official is excessive and you cannot meet the request of the official, you can speak out, the official will not force you. From now on, children You don’t need to worry about your marriage, the official will look at the right marriage for the children.
If you are just confused for a while, this officer hopes that you will wake up as soon as possible, stop saying stupid things and do stupid things.
You have to remember that this is the capital, not the northwest. This capital is not the capital when you first married the official.
The sword rain in this capital city is full of wars without gunsmoke.
If you dare to do bad things, even if you give birth to sons and daughters for the official, the official will not spare you. "
Xie cried and said: "The concubine listens to the master, and the concubine dare not do bad things. The concubine just wants the children to marry a good family, so she is a little anxious for a while."
Master Gu bent over, pinched Xie's mandible, and said indifferently: "Let the children marry a good family, you don't need to worry about it.
As long as you obey the arrangements of the Hou Mansion obediently, the children's marriage will go smoothly.
If you are wise, you have to fight to show your ability, I advise you to rest your mind as soon as possible.
Do you think you are wiser, more knowledgeable, and more insightful than the old lady of the Hou Mansion? Madam, please don't be stupid in the future. This officer has limited patience.
What kind of emperor grandson chooses a wife, even the Hou Mansion dare not provoke, how can you be confident that you want to marry Shan'er to the palace? Your mind is really not clear. "
Xie said pitifully: "The master is right. The concubine is really not sober enough and too arrogant to think of marrying Shan'er to the palace. The concubine will never make such a mistake again. What the Lord says shall prevail. Please Lord give me another chance."
Master Gu snorted coldly, and left Xie Shi, "This official has given you many opportunities, have you seized it?"
"This time the concubine will definitely seize the opportunity and will not let the master down."
Xie cried miserably and was out of breath, disregarding his image.
Master Gu closed his eyes, sighed, and finally said: "Finally, this time the official does not care about you. Don't let the official hear similar stupid things next time, the official has limited patience, you know the consequences.
Also, during the Chinese New Year this year, Xie's family is unclear. The present official doesn't care about the gift of the past year. But Xie’s gift was thrown out to Ben Guan. "
Xie's stunned, "Master, Xie's family is the concubine's natal family after all.... Even if the older brother is wrong, but the concubine's mother, father, and second brother's family..."
"Can't you hear what the officer said?"
Master Gu interrupted Xie directly.
Xie's lips opened and closed, and his face was pale, as if fainting.
Master Gu smiled coldly, "Madam, you'd better remember what the official said, and don't go against the wrong. You have to understand that you have everything you have today and rely on the official, not your natal family. Xie Mao deceived me and insulted me. , You still want to get along well with Xie Mao, the official, are you too naive, or are you too stupid to deceive the official? By now, don’t you understand? The official and Xie Mao are not at odds, you must choose one of the two. Here, you can do it for yourself."
This time, Xie's did not hold Master Gu, and watched Master Gu leave blankly.
Immediately afterwards, she laughed, with tears in her laughter, full of mockery.
Chunhe came in from outside, and saw Xie sitting on the ground, suddenly panicked. She hurried forward and helped Xie Shi, but did not help.
"Madam, are you okay?"
Xie chuckled, "Everyone came to force me to drive me crazy? Say I'm stupid? But he used to clearly say that I am a good wife. With me, he can be an official with peace of mind.
Who is supporting his family all these years? Who is raising his children? He scolded his eldest brother for deceiving people too much, but he didn't think about how much he had done for our family these years. "
Chunhe was frightened, is his wife complaining about the master?
Chunhe was anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "Ma'am, don't say anything, be careful of being passed into the ears of the master. The slave and maid will help you up, okay?"
Xie raised his head and stared at Chunhe, "You also think I'm stupid, but I'm doing something wrong?"
Chunhe shook his head repeatedly, "Of course the slave and maid didn't think so. Madam, it's not the time to talk about this. And some of the things the master said have some truth. Rich people like the Hou Mansion dare not marry a girl to the royal family, like us. People should avoid the royal family and stay away."
Xie stood up and snorted coldly, "They are too conservative, so one generation is inferior to one generation. Wealth is not a pie in the sky, and it will not fall from the sky.
If you want to be rich, you have to fight, you have to fight, you have to grab. They only saw the risks of marrying a girl to the palace, but how could they not see the benefits?
Just like my eldest brother, if he is like the Hou Mansion and the Gu family, he is afraid of this and that, can the Xie family be rich? Can he be an official of the Eastern Palace and jump up to be a master? How did these things come from? They all came from boldness and carefulness. "
At the end of Xie's talk, he gritted his teeth and looked very resentful.
Listening to Xie's words, Chunhe frightened.
She cautiously persuaded: "Madam, the Hou Mansion has reached the extreme of wealth and wealth. Going up, the flowers bloom with brocade and the fire is cooking oil, and they will flourish and decline. The servants think that the Hou Mansion does not marry the royal family, so I dare not say anything else. , At least three generations of wealth can be preserved."
Xie chuckled, staring at Chunhe, "I didn't expect you to know how to cook oil on fire, and the principle of prosperity and decline."
Chunhe lowered his head and said, "The wife taught me well. The servant girl used to be a little girl who didn't know anything. Since she came to serve her, she has gained knowledge and learned the skills from her wife, so that she is what she is today."
Xie nodded and said, "You are right. The Hou Mansion is afraid of prosperity and decline, but our Gu Mansion is not afraid. The Hou Mansion is already extremely rich, but our Gu Mansion is not really rich, do you understand?
Gu Mansion is far away from real wealth, but also thousands of miles away. Don't rely on marriage, just rely on the men to work hard in the officialdom, how many young people can get rich?
Ten years, twenty years, or fifty years? Can I live to that day?
What's even more frightening is that the men have been fighting for a lifetime, only to keep their current status. One generation is inferior to the next generation.
I'm afraid that after a hundred years, my children and grandchildren will become more and more impoverished.
If you plan ahead and marry the royal family from now on, you can't say that you will be rich for a hundred years, but fifty years will always be guaranteed.
Haha...Unfortunately, the master was scared, he didn't dare, he didn't dare to do anything! He would only listen to the words of the Hou Mansion. When the Hou Mansion said going east, he did not dare to go west. Why should I listen to the Hou Mansion for everything? "
Snapped!
Xie's hand stretched out and swept all the tea cups on the table to the ground.
Chunhe's face was pale, "Madam, please stop talking. The master just returned to the capital and didn't understand the situation. I must have heard from the Hou Mansion. Madam, don't think about it."
"Do you also think I'm thinking crazy?"
Xie's eyes were fierce, and he stared at Chunhe.
Chunhe's heart jumped abruptly, "My wife misunderstood. The servant was worried that her wife would be irritated. Didn't the wife say that after the first month, she would fight with the big wife and fight for the housekeeping rights? If the wife doesn't take good care of her health, How to fight with the big lady?"
Xie snorted coldly, "No matter how weak I am, I am not so weak that I can't manage the house and director."
"The wife will not only be the housekeeper, but also prepare the dowry for the third girl. After the eldest girl's marriage is settled, she will also have to prepare the dowry for the elder girl. For all these things, the servants worry about her tiredness. "
Xie chuckled, "You know how to use this mouth. Forget it, you have never heard what I said today."
Chunhe said quickly: "The slave servant didn't hear anything. The slave servant went to make tea for his wife."
"Go ahead."
Chunhe hurried out of the door and stood under the eaves. When the cold wind blew, his heartbeat gradually slowed down.
She was really scared to death in the room before.
Chunhe couldn't make sense of what the wife said, but he felt inappropriate and dangerous.
Do you have a bad day now? Why have to toss?
"Sister Chunhe, are you okay?"
Seeing Chunhe's face pale, the maid Dongmei asked with concern.
Chunhe shook his head, "I'm fine. I'll make tea for my wife."
Chunhe hurried away.
Dongmei was a little puzzled, and glanced in the room, guessing that it was his wife who had something wrong again.
...
Next door to the Hou Mansion, Old Hou Ye came to Songhetang.
Several sons and daughter-in-law are there.
Old Hou Ye said: "Qi'er, Ying'er are all on the list of young mansions, and Gu Jiu and Gu Shan from the next mansion are also on the list."
Everyone frowned upon hearing the words.
The old lady Wei asked: "Why are Xiaojiu and Shan'er on the list?"
Old Master Hou said in a deep voice: "All the girls who are a direct daughter of a fourth-grade official in Beijing are registered."
The old lady Wei sighed, "I'm afraid there will be trouble in the palace."
The eldest wife Xiao Wei comforted: "The old lady relaxes. Although Xiao Jiu and Shan'er are on the list, no prince would call them names."
The second wife Wang and the third wife Duan nodded together.
The emperor and grandchildren are not stupid. Even if there are various restrictions and cannot choose a wife at will, they will not choose Gu Jiu and Gu Shan.
The two of them can be on the list only because of the fact that both officials and prostitutes of Grade 4 and above have to be registered.
When the emperor's grandson married, he also wanted to marry a strong girl from her natal family.
To be honest, the Hou Mansion next door could not satisfy the emperor and grandson's requirements for his wife.
The old lady Wei looked at Old Hou Ye, "What about Qier and Yinger?"
Old Master Hou said in a deep voice: "There is no way to remove their names from the list. The only way now is to arrange a marriage for the two children as soon as possible."
"Where can I find a suitable marriage partner in such a short time?"
The second wife, Wang, was anxious. She didn't want her precious daughter Gu Qi to marry the royal family, nor did she want her daughter to find someone else to marry.
Master Lao Hou sternly said, "Isn't it possible that you haven't seen the house for such a long time?"
This……
The second wife, Wang said, "I have seen a few of them, and I wanted to continue to see it. Now it's not the case of the emperor and grandson choosing a wife. It's really sad."
The old lady Wei asked: "Old man, is there a royal grandson in the palace who is required to choose a wife this time?"
Lord Hou's eyes lit up, "That's not true."
"In other words, can the emperor grandchildren take advantage of this opportunity to choose a wife or not?"
The old man nodded, "That's right. Thinking about it carefully, your majesty doesn't want the emperor and grandchildren to gather together to choose a wife. It's just that it's not easy to refute the empress's face, so he can agree to this matter. Princes and princes, presumably This is also clear. It seems that this time the emperor and grandson's choice of wives will not exceed ten at most."
"I'm afraid there are not even ten people."
The elder Gu Zhiwen said, "Obviously this time the emperor and grandson choose a wife, the empress and the empress want to take the opportunity to make trouble. The princes and princes will definitely not be obedient.
The big deal is to arrange for an undervalued son to come forward to deal with the errand.
The sons who are not valued by the princes are the grandsons of the emperor in almost all cases. The grandson of a concubine is not qualified to marry a girl from the Hou Mansion. Second brother, third brother, you can rest assured. "
Old Hou Ye shook his head, "Don’t forget that there are still two sons in the East Palace who are not married. In addition, the queen personally named the name of the son Zhao. These three are all qualified to marry our girls from the Hou Palace. Whether it is married to the East Palace. The two sons still marry the son Zhao, neither of them is a good match."
The old lady Wei said, "Donggong should be the girl who has been eyeing Luhou Mansion."
"The two princes of the East Palace want to marry a girl from Luhou Mansion, they have to pass your majesty's hurdle first. Your Majesty will definitely not watch the East Palace marry Luhou's daughter."
"In that case, Luhou's daughters can only marry honoraries?"
Lord Hou nodded, "Almost."
The old lady Wei frowned and said: "The second wife, the third wife, you two hurry up, as long as there is a suitable family, you can quickly make a marriage for Qi'er and Yinger. In short, our girls cannot marry into the royal family. , Let alone marry into the East Palace."
"But in such a short time, where can I find a suitable person."
"Find it if you can't find it."
The eldest wife Xiaowei said: "I have a few suitable ones here, but I don't know if the second siblings and the third siblings can take a look."
"Sister-in-law, say it quickly."
The eldest wife, Xiao Wei, has a lot of resources for unmarried men and women, and she clicked four or five in one breath.
The second wife, Wang, and the third wife, Duan, said that they should consider it.
It's about the marriage of the darling girl, they dare not be rash.
The old lady Wei reminded,
As long as there is something suitable, it will be settled as soon as possible. In case of being preempted by other houses, it will be too late to regret it.

The second wife and the third wife all agreed, and they all explained that they would reply on the day.
The Hou Mansion is still worried about Gu Qi and Gu Ying's marriage. But I don't want to, my kid has long been targeted.
While talking, a matchmaker came to propose marriage.
Not only the boys in the Hou Mansion were targeted, but even the boys in the Gu Mansion who hadn't fixed a marriage were favored by civilian officers and generals.
At the same time, two matchmakers came to Gu Mansion to propose marriage.
Today, the matchmaker in the capital is really busy, and of course she has made enough money.
Two matchmakers do not represent two families, but four.
These four families took a fancy to the second young master Gu Ju, the third young master Gu Yu, the fifth young master Gu Wang, and the sixth young master Gu Yu.
Gu Jue and Gu Wang are the daughters of Dafang, and they have not yet made a marriage.
Gu Yu, Gu Yu is a second-hand concubine.
The two matchmakers, facing the elder Gu Zhiming, and the master Gu Zhili, played a three-inch tongue, trying to ensure the success of the matchmaker and get the matchmaker to reward money.
Elder Gu Zhiming and Master Gu are two brothers, one head and two older brothers.
Let them deal with officialdom without pressure.
But asking them to deal with matchmakers really embarrass them.
The old master patted the table, "Go, invite the big wife and the second wife. Then I said that the matchmaker will come. In addition, I called Jiro, Saburo, Goro, and Rokuro. It is about their life-long events, so they should listen to them. "
The next person took the order and left.
The matchmaker flattered: "It's still the master who is considerate."
The elder Gu Zhiming gave a cold snort, despising these matchmakers very much.
The dead can be said to be alive by them, and even a bad person can be named a flower by them. The ugly monsters in their mouths are comparable to Xi Shi Diaochan.
All in all, in the mouth of the matchmaker, there is no truth.
"Girl, it's okay, a matchmaker came to say kiss to the third master."
Xiaocui hurried back to Zhilan Academy.
Gu Jiu stood up abruptly, "Surely there is a matchmaker coming?"
"It's true. It's not only for the third master, but also for the second, fifth, and sixth masters."
Gu Jiu gritted his teeth, "Go, let me go to the front yard and have a look."
Saying kiss to Gu Yu, and not staring at it personally, Gu Jiu felt uneasy.
