Chapter 171: Face slap

Gu Jiu saw Liu Zhao as he walked through the corridor.
The two looked at each other across the garden.
Gu Jiu hesitated, but Liu Zhao also stood still.
Finally, Liu Zhao nodded slightly to her, then turned and left.
Gu Jiu was sure in his heart, that the originally a little uneasy heart suddenly settled down.
Gu Jiu returned to the side hall, and Miss Wei San also returned.
Wei San whispered to Gu Jiu, "I asked, we will definitely be able to leave the palace tonight. I guess someone will come over soon."
I have to say that Wei San's information is very well informed.
Before crying for the second time, a servant came.
"Niangniang is gone, the palace is messy. It's not right for the girls to stay in the palace. Girls, go give Niangniang a head and leave with our house."
Gu Jiu and everyone came to the main hall of the mourning hall and kowtow to the empress.
Knocking his head, he left the Liangyi Hall with the servant and walked outside the palace.
Gu Jiu was a little worried, but the mansion didn't know the news of her leaving the palace. At the gate of the palace, there is no carriage to pick it up. Does she have to walk back on her legs?
Renting a carriage is also a way. But near the imperial city, there is no carriage rental.
She was thinking about it, and she reached the gate of the palace.
As a result, she actually saw Gu Yu Gu Si Ge and her brother Gu Ling.
The two of them personally came to pick her up at the gate of the palace.
"Brother Gu, brother, why are you here?"
Gu Ling grinned, "Sister, you are out of the palace."
Gu Yu said: "The palace sent a notice saying that you will be out of the palace today. I will come to pick you up with my third brother. Second sister, get in the car first."
"Thank you Brother Gu. I'm really sorry to let you take a trip at this time."
"The second sister is polite."
Gu Jiu got into the carriage, and the heart that was holding it really fell into place.
Gu Ling followed into the carriage, and Gu Yu sat in the car with the coachman.
The carriage started, slowly leaving the imperial city, further and further away.
Gu Yu was worried, "Sister, are you okay these days. Whenever I think that you are in the palace alone, and you don’t even have a helper when you encounter problems, I hate myself for being unworthy and unable to help you. If I become famous, I will give you a name. Hou Baixiang, if my sister encounters a similar situation again, even if I fight for my life, I have to save my sister."
Gu Jiu was very moved.
She laughed, "Brother, don't worry about me, don't you think I'm fine. Also, if you're desperate, how can you keep me out? Don't think about it anymore."
Gu Ling 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?"
"Very good, don't worry. The elders have all gone to the palace to cry, and the eldest brother in the mansion is taking care of it. The grandmother of the Hou Mansion next door was gone the night before. Originally, she was going to have a good funeral. But now the main person No one is there, I don’t know what to do next."
Gu Jiu followed with a sigh, "Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the lady in the lobby would go."
Gu Ling lowered his voice, "I heard that after the young lady woke up and learned that the child was gone, I didn't say a word. I didn't even give a straight eye to the big brother. They said that the young lady hated her and didn't want to live. I have to go and take care of the children. Some people say that Brother Grand Hall is afraid that heirs will be difficult in this life."
Gu Jiu frowned, "Why are you saying this?"
Even Gu Ling knew it, that would be incredible. It shows that these rumors spread widely, from Hou Mansion to Gu Mansion, maybe even to Jia Mansion, and then spread all over the capital.
This is not good.
Gu Ling said, "I just listened to others' comments. Anyway, it's fine for my sister to be clear in her heart."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I see."
Approaching Gu's house, Qingmei became excited.
"Girl, we finally went home."
A few days in the palace, like a few lifetimes, people are scared to death.
I never realized how good Gu Mansion is. After going to the palace, I knew how good Gu Mansion was.
Not to mention, at least at ease, live comfortably, eat well, sleep well.
Get out of the car at Ermen, look at the familiar scenery, familiar people, as if a world away.
The second wife said kindly: "The second girl is back, and the servants are all thinking of you."
Gu Jiu was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Thank you auntie."
Qingmei handed it a small purse, and the money was not much, and the woman was still smiling.
"The second girl returns safely, and she will be rich and unparalleled in the future."
Gu Jiu walked into the second door, and the women watched Gu Jiu leave while speaking auspicious words.
Finally returned to Zhilan Academy, hurriedly changed this unlucky clothes, took a hot bath severely, and lay on the big bed that had been thinking about it for countless times. Gu Jiu couldn't help but kicked twice first.
what!
Lying on a familiar bed, so happy, I don't want to get up at all.
"Girl, the eldest master invites you to go to the meeting hall, saying that there is something to discuss."
Gu Jiu got up from the bed with difficulty and changed into plain clothes without any jewelry in his headwear.
Gu Jiu dare not careless about the details of the death of the empress and the national funeral.
These days, learning the rules in the palace, I really learned a lot of useful knowledge.
Gu Jiu went to the Chamber of Commerce in a clean, eldest brother Gu Ban has been waiting for a long time.
Several sisters are also there.
When Gu Ban saw Gu Jiu, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The second sister is here, please sit down. Before leaving home and entering the palace, my mother told me that after the second sister comes back, the second sister will take charge of the house affairs. The next day, the second sister will have to work harder."
After speaking, Gu Ban handed over the keys and the pair of cards to Gu Jiu.
Gu Yue watched the key and the pair of cards fall into Gu Jiu's hand, feeling very furious and unconvinced.
Gu Yue endured it, but couldn't hold it back.
She said aloud: "Big brother, why only let the second elder sister be the housekeeper. Can't we? We also learn the housekeeping director from the eldest aunt, where are we worse than the second sister?"
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Yue with a smile. As soon as she returned home, Gu Yue couldn't help but jump out, she was really anxious.
Gu Zhen sneered and whispered in a low voice: "You have to fight with your second sister for everything. Are you eligible? Don't look in the mirror to see what you are like."
"Big sister, make it clear, what do you mean by what you just said?"
Gu Yue was very angry and pointed to Gu Zhen's nose to curse.
Gu Zhen snorted coldly, and said in a heavy tone: "I asked you to look in the mirror to see how you compare to the second sister? You are fighting with the second sister everywhere, but I want to ask you, why do you think Are you qualified to fight with your second sister?"
"Why am I not qualified? How can I not compare to the second sister?" Gu Yue looked unconvinced.
Gu Ban's head suddenly got bigger, he had heard before that several cousins ​​were at odds. But there is still a big difference between hearing and seeing it in person.
This time I finally saw it with my own eyes. He is one of the first two older men.
He is a big man, he has no experience in handling such things.
He asks Gu Jiu for help, second sister, please stop it.
Gu Zhen sneered, "How can you not compare to the second sister, don't you know it in your heart?"
Gu Yue snorted coldly, "If you can't tell, just say that I'm inferior to the second elder sister. I'm telling you, this matter is endless."
Gu Zhen sneered and said, "There is no end to it. What's the matter, you want to ruin my marriage? Could it be that you forgot to find Erlang and want to marry to Zhang's family?"
"You are talking nonsense!" Gu Yue was so angry that she couldn't say anything.
Gu Ban's mind is just like Goo. They are all sisters. Why should they fight? Do you have something to say?
"Okay, okay, let's say a few words less."
But no one listened to Guban.
Gu Yue and Gu Zhen were still arguing. You blame me, I blame you, you come and go, it is very lively.
Gu Ban was distressed, because he had done something to commit such a thing.
He thought that if he got married early, these issues could be handed over to his wife.
The wife is not here, it's a matter of course that the big and young grandma is the housekeeper.
However, his wedding is still several months away. It's too late to find a wife to help the housekeeper.
Gu Jiu couldn't bear to watch Gu Ban continue to suffer, so he said aloud: "Sister, you just said that I'm not convinced that I am a housekeeper for the time being, and why you are not qualified to be a housekeeper.
Now I will answer your question. Regarding the elders and the young, I am the elder, and you are the young. You should listen to me.
On the settlement, I will dump you ten streets, you have no objection.
On prestige, ask the women in charge, do they listen to you or me?
Finally, the uncle's mother ordered my name and asked me to take care of her. You are dissatisfied, which means that you are not satisfied with the decision of your elder mother.
Could it be that the third sister felt that you were wiser than your eldest aunt, and could even arrange matters in the palace.
Well, let me ask you, who is in charge of the stables? Who is the wife of Ermen? Where is her man as a errand? Where is her daughter as a errand? "
Gu Yue gaped.
Gu Jiu asked her a series of questions.
How did she know who was in charge of the stables? How could she care about the man who was a gatekeeper and where the girl was working as a servant? It's ridiculous.
Gu Yue was arrogant, "I'll be the steward, why don't I know these things. As long as I have the account book and the cards, it's fine."
Gu Jiu snorted, her eyes naked and mocking.
She said: "Sister, you don't even know who is in charge of the affairs below. You also plausibly said that as long as you have an account book, you can manage the house?
When you are a housekeeper, do you play games for children? These days you followed your eldest aunt to learn about housekeeping and directorship. Have you learned what to do in the belly of a dog?
If there is no needle and thread cloth in the sewing room today, you need to send someone to buy it. If you don't know the interpersonal relationship of the sewing room, if the person in the group happens to be the brother or some other relative in the sewing room, have you thought about the consequences? "
"I……"
"You just want to take care of the house temporarily. It doesn't matter whether you know these things or not, right. Humph, it's rare to be a housekeeper. You don't know how to prepare and perform well. Who can expect you to do it next time? Who would dare to give you a second chance."
Gu Jiu spoke harshly and blocked Gu Yue almost speechless.
Gu Yue was very angry, "Second sister, after all, you just think I am not a housekeeper, right?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "Absolutely right! In my eyes, the four sisters are more qualified to be housekeepers than you.
Third sister, you want a housekeeper, it's still early. When you find out the name of the steward in the mansion and the relationship between them, you can speak again, anyway, you still have some confidence.
Now, your so-called unconvinced, why is it just a joke? Only add to the jokes. "
"Gu Jiu, you are deceiving too much." Gu Yue roared angrily.
Gu Jiu Taotao ears, "Remember to call the second elder sister next time. Now I don't even have courtesy, have the rules been passed to the mother?"
Huh!
Gu Zhen couldn't help laughing.
Gu Yue was anxious and frustrated, "You all bully me, you all bully me. When my mother comes back, I must tell my mother and let her make the decision for me."
Gu Zhen mocked: "Sister, how can you still look like a few years old. If you say you can't win, you can ask an adult to complain and let people tell you what is good."
Anyhow, you are also a relative, you will be married to Hexibo Mansion in the second half of the year.
Is it possible that you have been wronged in the Hexibo Mansion, and you have to yell at others, do I want to go back to my natal family to file a complaint? You are not ashamed, I feel ashamed. "
"Wow……"
Gu Yue suddenly cried loudly.
She didn't leave, so she lay on the table and cried loudly, feeling extremely wronged.
Gu Ban was amazed, his forehead hurt even more.
He bowed his hand to Gu Jiu, "Second sister, I'll leave it to you here. If it's okay, I'll leave first."
After speaking, before Gu Jiu could speak, he ran out impatiently. As if someone was chasing him behind.
Gu Jiu can't laugh or cry, is Brother Gu Ban?
Gu Yue was still crying, very sad.
But no one paid any attention to her, even Gu Shan, who had always been led by her, remained silent on a rare occasion.
Gu Jiu opened the account book and said to everyone, "I will post the accounts first. If there is no problem, we will schedule the next few days. In this way, only a small amount of time will be spent on housekeeping every morning. The rest. At the time, I went to the Hou Mansion next door to help and take care of the funeral of the sister-in-law in the lobby."
Gu Zhen nodded again and again, "I listened to my second sister. The Hou Mansion next door was a lot of people and had funerals, and when the aunt in the lobby entered the palace, the Hou Mansion was chaotic.
I went to the Hou Mansion this morning. Sister Mei was so busy that she had to pass her hands on everything. Even if she had three heads and six arms, she was afraid it would not be enough. "
Gu Shan also said: "We are in the same spirit as the Hou Mansion. There is something in the Hou Mansion. We should go and help."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Big sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, sixth sister, if you are free, please work out the accounts with me. Are you willing?"
"Naturally is willing."
Everyone picked up the abacus and started to settle accounts.
Among them, Gu Jiu is the fastest.
Not only fast, but also elegant. Flicking the finger lightly, the accounts are clear and clear at a glance.
In the chamber, only the sound of abacus was heard, plus Gu Yue's crying.
Gu Yue cried and cried, and felt bored.
Because a person is crying without an audience, crying is useless and redundant.
She was crying in the Chamber of Deputies to get everyone's sympathy, hoping that someone could come to comfort her and stand with her to accuse Gu Jiu.
In the end, what she got, only got all the indifference, plus the sound of a house of calculations.
The sound of the abacus was so harsh that it fell in his ears, and Gu Yue felt that she was going crazy.
She gradually stopped crying, gritted her teeth, and stared at Gu Jiu angrily.
What kind of luck did Gu Jiu take to be selected by the emperor's grandson?
If she hadn't fixed a marriage, she might be selected by the emperor's grandson based on her appearance.
In this way, it is not Gu Jiu who enters the palace, but her. She can also be pleased by everyone in the palace.
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 had seized her opportunity.
Originally all of this was hers, all of hers.
Gu Yue took out the handkerchief and wiped away the tears.
She will not admit defeat.
She stared at Gu Jiu, "Second sister, I also want to settle accounts with you."
As soon as this remark came out, the chamber immediately became quiet.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at Gu Yue. They didn't guess that Gu Yue was even embarrassed to ask for a settlement together.
Gu Jiu smiled coldly, "If the third sister is bored, just go back to the room and rest. Someone has already done these things, 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 disturb people, don't disturb everyone's work."
After speaking, Gu Jiu continued to settle accounts with his head buried.
Gu Yue became angry, and wringed her handkerchief. A good handkerchief was almost torn by her.
But she endured it again and sat silently.
Gu Jiu glanced at her from the corner of his eye, surprised that Gu Yue could bear it.
What is Gu Yue's patience?
It seems that during this period of time, she has made some progress.
