Chapter 89: Dirty (one more)

The capital is in sight.
The towering city walls, the endless stream of carriages and horses, lined up for the crowds entering the city.
Everything is so different from the Northwest.
The Gu family's motorcade was blocked at the gate of the city, unable to move.
Gu Jiu raised the curtains of the car and looked outside.
It is worthy of the boundary of the capital city, and the population size alone is dozens of miles away from Jinju City.
"The car moved, the girl quickly put the curtain down."
Qingmei was afraid that Gu Jiu would be seen.
Gu Jiu complied with kindness and put down the car curtains.
The car moved slowly and finally entered the city gate and entered the capital.
Gu Jiu raised the curtains of the car together and looked at the sights of Beijing.
Pedestrians on the street are one after another, and people come and go. There are shops on both sides of the street, and the shop Xiaoer is yelling hard.
Xiao Cui said with emotion, "The capital is so lively!"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, a big city with millions of people is naturally extraordinary.
The convoy went all the way and came to Baiyi Lane in the capital.
Baiyi Lane is not an alley, but a large area in the north of the capital.
The capital's wealthy aristocrats and royal family members, without exception, live in Baiyi Lane.
In other words, everyone who can live in Baiyi Lane is rich and powerful.
Money alone can't even cross the threshold of Baiyi Lane.
Money is only one of the conditions for living in Baiyi Lane.
The most critical and most important conditions are status and power.
Baiyi Lane is very different from other places in Beijing.
Along the way, Gu Jiu and the others have seen the excitement of the capital.
After entering Baiyi Lane, the surroundings were quiet, and there was no voice. I only heard the wheels rolling forward.
On both sides of the road, there are high-skilled households.
I don't know how long it has been, the carriage stopped slowly.
Gu Jiu said, "It looks like we are home."
After speaking, Gu Jiu looked outside through the car window.
The porter confirmed their identity, hurriedly opened the side door and greeted the carriage in.
Gu Jiu got out of the carriage at the second door with the other women.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw a rich and wealthy lady standing in the middle of the crowd.
Could this be the eldest aunt Zhang?
Just as Gu Jiu guessed the identity of the other party, Xie was helped by the maids to get off the carriage.
Seeing the person in front of him, Xie immediately smiled and shouted affectionately: "After so many years, I finally saw my sister-in-law."
Zhang nodded slightly, his attitude was neither lukewarm nor cold, "The younger brother and sister's family are finally back. I worked hard along the way, and I came to the flower hall for tea. I haven't seen each other for many years, we will have a good chat."
Xie didn't care about Zhang's attitude, and said with a smile: "I listen to my sister. My sister will go ahead."
Zhang nodded, walked ahead, and led everyone to the Flower Hall.
Gu Jiu and the sisters walked together, calmly looking at the scenery in the Fuzhong.
It is winter now, and the garden trees are withered and there is no view to see.
But the place is so big.
The surrounding houses and courtyards also seem to be spacious enough.
It deserves to be separated from the Hou Mansion, it is different.
Gu Yue looked excited, so excited he wanted to scream.
She reached out and pinched Gu Shan's hand to prevent herself from doing rude things.
Gu Shan's hand was pinched, eating pain, and she couldn't help frowning.
She whispered: "Sister Third, you let go of my hand."
Gu Yue smiled at Gu Shan and let go of Gu Shan's hand.
"Sister Si, don't be angry, I was so excited just now."
Gu Yue also said in a very low voice.
Gu Shan rubbed the painful part of the pinch, spitting in her heart: So excited, why not pinch her hand.
Humph!
Finally arrived at the Flower Hall.
Zhang finally showed a smiling face and greeted everyone in the second room.
Zhang Clan sat on the main seat, looked at the girl in the second room, and said to Xie Clan: "My sister is so lucky. There are so many girls, all of them look like flowers."
Xie's smile opened up, "Sister-in-law is absurdly praised. A few girls, haven't seen the big aunt soon."
Gu Jiu and the four sisters stepped forward together, bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "My niece has seen the eldest mother."
"All good kids."
Zhang laughed, "My younger siblings are a good blessing. Five girls are enviable. Unlike me, if you want a girl, you will have a son."
Dafang has a total of six sons, of which Zhang gave birth to three.
Zhang gave birth to three children in total, all sons.
Dafang has only one concubine girl, ranked sixth in the family, a few months younger than Gu Lin.
"Jun'er, come and meet your second aunt and your sisters. Haven't you been arguing and want to see your sisters?"
From behind Zhang's, a young girl walked out, who was the daughter of Dafang, the sixth girl Gu Jun.
Gu Jun's face is round and his smile is very cute.
She bowed to Xie's and said, "My niece has seen my second aunt. Second aunt has worked hard all the way."
Xie's laughed, "Good boy, come and let me have a look. When the aunt left Beijing, you were still in your aunt's belly. Unexpectedly, you grew up like this in a blink of an eye. Come and meet your sisters. This is your elder sister Gu Zhen, and your second sister Gu Jiu..."
Xie's introduction to Gu Jun's girl from Erfang is also introducing Zhang's.
Zhang smiled and looked at the five girls in the second room.
Gu Zhen, the eldest girl, has a delicate appearance, just like a small family. After all, it was a concubine.
The third girl, Gu Yue, looks very bright and looks very strong.
The four girls, Gu Shan, couldn't compare to Gu Yue's appearance. They were generous and calm. Zhang secretly nodded.
The fifth girl, Gu Lin, was still childish. She is only a few months older than Gu Jun, and she does not have the hearty atmosphere of Gu Jun at all. These two are both concubines, and the gap is still a bit big.
Finally, Zhang's eyes fell on Gu Jiu's body.
This is the child left by the first brother and sister Su, who has been weak since childhood.
Zhang clan waved to Gu Jiu, "You are the second girl, come here, let Auntie take a look."
Gu Jiu stepped forward and blessed her body, "My niece has seen my eldest mother."
Zhang took Gu Jiu's hand, "Good boy, I didn't expect you to have grown up like this. You were only so old when you left Beijing with your father."
Zhang gave a gesture. At that time, Gu Jiu was thin, small, weak, and looked like he was not raised.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Tired aunt is worried."
Zhang said with emotion: "When your mother gave birth to you, I was guarding at the gate of the delivery room. Unfortunately, your mother was not lucky."
Gu Jiu bowed her head, her eyes flushed.
Xie's expression froze, thinking that the sister-in-law did it on purpose. Deliberately mentioning Su's family at this time made her unhappy.
Zhang took Gu Jiu and continued: "Fortunately, you have grown up and are already a big girl. Jun'er, come here, this is your second sister, I used to talk to you."
"Second Sister!" Gu Jun blessed his body.
Gu Jiu returned a gift, "Sixth Sister, I prepared a meeting gift for you, and I will send it to you later."
Gu Jun smiled sweetly, "Thank you, sister. Two sisters have been struggling all the way, and the second sister has worked hard. When the second sister settles down, I will go to play with you."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Okay! I can't ask for it."
Gu Jun pursed his lips and smiled, "Talking to the second sister is really fun."
Zhang interrupted and said, "Jun'er, you will spend more time with your second sister in the future."
Gu Jun blinked, "Daughter listens to her mother."
Zhang's attention to Gu Jiu, ignoring Gu Yue, Gu Shan's behavior made Xie's heart extremely unhappy.
Xie coughed and said aloud: "Yue'er, Shan'er, you have to get along well with Jun'er. Between sisters, keep in touch with each other and don't play tricks."
Gu Yue and Gu Shan agreed.
Zhang raised his eyebrows and said perfunctorily: "My younger brothers and sisters are so blessed, Yue'er and Shan'er are both so old. This child, Yue'er, looks really good."
Gu Yue lowered his head and smiled, being praised, naturally happy.
Xie's also laughed, "Sister-in-law, don't praise her. This girl is almost spoiled by me."
Zhang smiled and said: "Well, you should be spoiled. Yue'er is not young anymore. I remember only half a year younger than Xiao Jiu, is there a marriage?"
Xie shook his head, "I want to keep my child for a few more years, and haven't been married yet."
Zhang nodded and asked curiously: "Is the children's marriage still undecided?"
Xie nodded, "Exactly."
Zhang said hurriedly: "You have to hurry up, younger siblings. Girls' youth can't be delayed."
Xie said, "Thank you for your sister-in-law. We have been away from Beijing for many years, and many people in Beijing have not known each other. The children's marriage still needs help from the sister-in-law."
Zhang said straightforwardly: "What's the problem with the younger brothers and sisters, even if they are said to be. They are all a family, and those who can help will definitely help you."
After finishing talking, Zhang took Gu Jiu's hand again and said: "When the first brother and sister passed away, I promised her, Xiao Jiu's life-long events, I, as an aunt, will help me watch it somehow."
Xie's face became stiff, and he smiled unnaturally, "Sister-in-law is interested."
In his heart, he was yelling wildly. Zhang Clan mentioned Su Clan again and again, what exactly he meant.
Did she deliberately make her unhappy?
Xie's hands, trapped in his sleeves, clenched into fists, his heart was very angry.
At this time, a maid came in from outside. First, he glanced at the people in the second room, looking like he wanted to talk but stopped.
Zhang narrowed his smile and asked with a serious face, "What happened?"
The maid bowed and said, "Mrs. Qizhen, the old man is making trouble in Aunt Chen's room."
Zhang's face suddenly became ugly, "The old man is drinking crazy again?"
The maid nodded, "Exactly."
Zhang's face was calm, "The old man is really true, knowing that today is the day when the second room and the family are back, so I don't choose a time to drink."
Xie hurriedly asked, "Why did the old man drink alcohol during the day?"
Zhang snorted, "As a daughter-in-law, it's really hard to talk about the old man's affairs. But the younger brothers and sisters are different, you will know these things sooner or later.
The old man has not gone to the morning court in the past two years, and has nothing to do all day, so he hangs out with those aunts.
At other times, it is just a little ridiculous. Once you drink alcohol, you will become drunk crazy, and you will have to turn the whole family upside down.
Brother and sister, let me ask you to settle down first. Father, I have to go and see for myself, but don't let him make the whole family restless. It broke everyone's interest. "
"Sister-in-law, go now."
Xie also bluffed.
I never thought that the old man is getting more and more absurd now, and he is messing up with women, and even if the concubines enter the mansion one by one, he still starts to drink and drink crazy.
With such an old man, will the children's marriage be affected?
Xie's heart began to worry.
She thought about it, and when she saw the master, she must have a good talk with the master.
Never let the father's affairs affect the children's marriage.
Zhang took a few sturdy women and hurried away.
The maids led the second room to settle in the backyard.
Gu's big room and second room are clearly separated.
The big room is located on the east side. The second room is located to the west.
There are few girls in the big room, and there is an idle courtyard.
There are many girls in the second room, and every courtyard is full.
Gu Jiu followed the maid to her courtyard, Zhilan Academy.
It turned out that the names of the courtyards of the Northwest Governor's Mansion were all taken from the capital.
"Second girl, Zhilan courtyard is here. There is everything in there, please settle down first. When the meal is served, the slave and maid will come to invite the second girl."
Gu Jiu said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work."
Qingmei stuffed a purse into the girl's hand.
The maid did not refuse, and skillfully trapped the purse in her sleeves, "The second girl is good for a rest, and the servant will leave first."
Gu Jiu looked at the words ‘Zhilan Yard’ on the gate, and smiled: "Let’s go in."
The courtyard is very spacious, with two more wing rooms than Zhilan courtyard in the governor's house.
Gu Jiu visited the yard and was quite satisfied.
"Girl, you sit down first, and the servant goes to boil water and make tea."
"Go ahead."
There is a small kitchen in the yard with everything in it. Qingzhu came to the small kitchen and boiled water to make tea.
Qingmei asked concerned: "Girl, is it cold?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "It's not cold."
Qingmei looked outside the courtyard, "Our luggage hasn't been delivered yet, or the servants and maids will go out and have a look."
Just after speaking, the ruthless lady in the house brought the luggage over.
Box after box of luggage, Qingmei greeted the ruthless lady and asked them to handle it gently.
The old lady came again and again, and all Gu Jiu's luggage was delivered.
Qingmei gave each person a purse and then began to count the luggage
"one two three four……"
Qingmei counted it several times, frowning, "I missed my luggage. I'll go find them."
Xiaocui asked Ying, "Sister Qingmei, let me go."
Qingmei nodded, "Okay, go to the second door and ask. Did they send the girl's luggage to the wrong place."
"Sister Qingmei, don't worry, I will definitely find the girl's luggage."
Gu Jiu was sitting in an empty study reading a book. Hearing the movement, he asked, "Qingmei, what's the matter?"
"Girl, one piece of luggage is missing."
Gu Jiu put down his book and asked, "Do you know which piece of luggage is missing?"
"The slave and maidservant know. Every baggage slave and maid has a stamp. The little baggage contains the ornaments from the girl's study."
Gu Jiu frowned, "Since Xiao Cui is going to ask about the situation, I will wait until Xiao Cui comes back. Xiao Cui can find the best, if he can't find it, let Li Chuan ask."
"The servant girl listens to the girl."
After half an hour, Xiao Cui came back from outside.
Qingmei hurriedly asked, "Did you find the girl's luggage?"
Xiao Cui shook her head. "The women in the second door said they didn't see them. The slaves asked the rough women, but they didn't know clearly. The slaves also went to the eldest girl, the third girl, the fourth girl, and the fifth girl. See the girl’s luggage."
Gu Jiu frowned, "Xiao Cui, you go to the outer courtyard to see Li Chuan. Let Li Chuan inquire about who is transporting the luggage? Have you lost your luggage during this period."
Xiao Cui responded, "The slave servant will go to Li Chuan now."
Missing a piece of luggage, Qingmei was in a bad mood.
Gu Jiu said to her: "Pack your luggage, you can always find the lost luggage. Even if you can't find it, there are some worthless ornaments inside. It doesn't matter if you lose it."
Qingmei blamed herself, "All slaves and maids are not good. The slaves should have been more careful and watched them carry their luggage."
Gu Jiu said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself."
Qingmei nodded and took the little maids to take out the luggage in the cage one by one and put them away.
The fact that Gu Jiu lost a piece of luggage reached Xie's ears.
Xie looked at the messy courtyard, and the maids and women were busy packing their luggage.
Xie asked, "Do you know what baggage the second girl lost?"
Chunhe said, "I heard it was a decoration in the study."
Xie said, "If it's just some worthless ornaments, they will be lost. You arrange for someone to tell Er Yatou so that she will not look for luggage in a big way.
On the first day after returning home, we lost a piece of luggage. We didn't think much about it, just because the people in Dafang thought too much.
If the first room thinks that our second room is suspecting that the hands and feet of the people in the big room are not clean, they will be dirty again. "
Chunhe nodded, "My wife is still thoughtful. But this opportunity is rare. Doesn't the wife plan to do something?"
Xie’s face was stern, "I have said, just returned to the house, this time there are few incidents. For the lord, I have to count on Dafang to help. Offend the people of Dafang, if it affects the official career of the master, that is The gain is not worth the loss."
Chunhe said hurriedly, "The slave servant is dull, but she didn't expect this."
Xie snorted, she didn't want to use this opportunity to make trouble with the big room.
Anyway, it was the responsibility of Gu Jiu that little bitch.
Only last night, the master told her repeatedly that she did not dare not listen.
