Chapter 211: money

Gu Jiu stepped forward and bowed, "Please help me."
Mother Fang looked at Gu Jiu indifferently.
"The second girl is polite."
Gu Jiu raised his head and looked at Madam Fang, "Won't Madam want to help me?"
Madam Fang asked coldly: "Does the second girl want peace or a future?"
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, this was teaching her.
She said frankly: "I want peace, and I want a future."
Mother Fang twitched at the corner of her mouth, probably because she rarely laughed, her expression looked a little weird.
She said: "The second girl looked weak, but her ambition was not small. Have you never heard that fish and bear's paw can't have both?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Of course I have heard this. It's just that I am a greedy person and want peace, but don't want to be mediocre."
"It's not a good thing to be too ambitious in the royal family." Madam Fang reminded Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he laughed, "In the royal family, it is a terrible thing to have no ambition. Ambition is not necessarily a bad thing."
Mother Fang asked curiously: "The second girl's insight is so different. But someone taught it?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "No one taught. It's all my personal thoughts."
Sister Fang nodded secretly, "The second girl has any thoughts and plans for marrying the son Zhao?"
Gu Jiu was very frank, "Save more money and win over everyone who can win. When necessary, directly take control of the princess and take control of the palace. And then get involved in the palace."
The old lady Wei and Sister Fang took a breath.
Neither of them expected that Gu Jiu was thinking about taking the princess off the ground and getting involved in the palace.
This ambition is not so big. Is too big.
Sister Fang exchanged glances with the old lady Wei in silence.
This is the grand niece you always praised? So ambitious!
The old man doesn't know. Xiao Jiu, the child, looked at Zhili sensibly on weekdays, but she would have planned to kill the princess early in the morning and get involved in the palace. This, this, Xiao Jiu, should be nonsense.
I was not talking nonsense, she really had this plan. I will ask her again.
Mother Fang asked with a serious face: "Second girl, have you ever thought of being the lord of the harem?"
Lord of the Harem? To be the queen?
Gu Jiu shook his head, "I never thought about it."
"Unexpectedly, or have no such thoughts?"
Gu Jiu looked at Madam Fang with a half-smile, "It doesn't really matter to be the lord of the harem. The important thing is that the people with power and wealth must be held in their hands."
Sister Fang knew it, and Gu Jiu obviously valued practical benefits rather than fame.
"If I get to the second girl, how will the second girl use me?"
Gu Jiu looked up and down Fang Fang, "Naturally, people use their talents."
Mother Fang closed her eyes slightly, and after a while, she looked at the old lady Wei.
The old lady Wei asked hurriedly: "Mother Fang, do you think my grand niece can get in your eyes?"
Madam Fang nodded and said solemnly: "The slave and maid are willing to serve the second girl."
After that, it is a prayer.
Gu Jiu was overjoyed and said, "Mother, please get up soon. Mother is willing to help me. I am so happy. Mother tried her best to help me. In the future, I will endorse my mother in retirement."
The local mother who had always had a serious face, her expression finally showed signs of cracking.
She was excited, but she was accustomed to suppressing her emotions, "The second girl is willing to take care of the servants and maidservants?"
Gu Jiu solemnly promised, "I am willing to send the end to the elderly for my mother."
"Thank you second girl." Mother Fang was rarely emotional, turned her back and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes.
The old lady Wei said: "Sister Fang, don't be sad. Xiao Jiu is a good boy, you should be happy."
Madam Fang nodded, "Yes, the maidservant should really be happy. I cried for joy."
The old lady Wei again urged Gu Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, Mother Fang is good at royal affairs. She will definitely be able to help you a lot. You must respect her."
"Thank you for the old lady's mention. In the eyes of my grand-niece, Madam Fang is my predecessor."
"That's great."
Madam Fang wiped away her tears, "Don't dare to be the second girl's senior. The slave girl will do her best to help the second girl and help the second girl achieve her wish."
Gu Jiu smiled brightly. She finally didn't need to be a deaf or blind person anymore, and she could understand the news from the palace and the royal family with Mother Fang by her side.
Mother Fang took the initiative to retreat.
The old lady Wei pointed to the Bogu frame and said to Gu Jiu, "Take down the peach wooden box on it."
Gu Jiu obediently removed the mahogany box from the Bogu shelf.
The old lady Wei said again: "Open it and take a look."
Gu Jiu was suspicious, but opened the mahogany box obediently.
There are silver notes in the box, the exact number is unknown.
Gu Jiu was surprised, "Old lady, is this?"
The old lady Wei said: "This is the bottom silver prepared by the old man for you, a total of two thousand taels, you have to put it away."
Gu Jiu quickly refused, "I can't ask for my grand niece, there are too many, so I can't ask for it."
She closed the mahogany box and placed it beside the old lady Wei.
The old lady Wei's face deliberately sullen, and pretending to be dissatisfied, said: "The elder's gift cannot be resigned, this is the old body's will, and you must accept it. There is no reason to take back what the old body gives.
This?
Gu Jiu was embarrassed, "Old lady, two thousand taels is too much. It's better to take one hundred taels for your niece..."
The old lady Wei said unhappily: "How can it be done! If you give you two thousand taels, you have to receive two thousand taels. Take it away quickly, don't let the old man waste his tongue."
Gu Jiu could not but accept it.
"Thank you old lady for your kindness. The old lady is so kind to her grand niece."
Gu Jiu was moved inwardly.
The old lady Wei laughed, "What are you doing like this? It's not easy for you to be married to the son of the emperor when you were young. You should think more of your old man. If your grandmother is still alive, she I will spoil you more than the old."
"I haven't seen my grandmother."
"You have seen it before, but you were still young and don't remember."
The old lady Wei exhorted many more things, and Gu Jiu wrote them down one by one.
Seeing the old lady showing fatigue, Gu Jiu got up and left.
When I walked out of the main room, I saw Mother Fang standing under the eaves waiting for her. Qingmei and the others are just a few steps away.
Gu Jiu shouted: "Qingmei, come here. I will introduce you to Mother Fang. From now on, Mother Fang will be by my side as a servant. You must respect Mother Fang as much as you respect me."
Madam Fang said hurriedly: "The girl kills the servant girl. The servant girl is just a servant, how dare you be equal to the girl."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "My mother is serious. You are not a servant, you are my mother."
Qingmei took the lead, and the four maids said in unison: "I have seen Mother Fang."
Mother Fang's face was still serious, she gave a hmm first, and looked at Qingmei from head to toe.
"My surname is Fang, and I am called Mother Fang. From now on, we will serve the second girl together."
"Ask Mother Fang for advice."
Qingmei and the others are full of questions, but they also know that this is not the time to ask questions.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Okay, everyone knows. Let's go back to the theater first."
When we arrived at the theater, everyone knew that Gu Jiu had a maternal Fang beside her, who was bestowed on her by the old lady Wei.
The eldest wife, Xiao Wei, yelled, but she knew nothing about Madam Fang.
Sister Fang is an old man in the palace. She came out of the palace because she was ill two years ago.
Originally, the old lady Wei wanted to receive Madam Fang to be raised by the Hou Mansion, but Madam Fang refused.
Mother Fang has no husband, no children, only one brother and one brother, plus a bunch of nephews and nieces.
Logically, she can rely on her nephew to provide for the elderly.
However, her brothers and nephews were all a group of vampires, sucking blood on her body.
Before the money was exhausted, Mother Fang decisively left her hometown and returned to the capital, renting a small courtyard to live alone.
The old lady Wei sent someone to deliver rice noodles and meat dishes every month.
Mother Fang usually does some needlework, or teaches the little girl how to make a living.
Unexpectedly, the old lady Wei could tell Madam Fang to come back out of the mountain and wait on Gu Jiu.
The eldest wife, Xiao Wei, thought about it and figured out the reason.
The old lady Wei must be worried that Gu Jiu will marry the palace and there is no one to use by her side, so she convinced Mother Fang to come out.
As an old man in the palace, Madam Fang knew nothing more about the right and wrong of the royal family and the harem.
Gu Jiu married and became the emperor's grandson's wife. He really needed such a person's advice.
The eldest wife Xiao Wei's eyebrows moved, and she ordered the maid, "Go, and get a cup of tea for Mother Fang. Take another chair and let Mother Fang sit and listen to the play."
"Slaves obey orders."
The second wife Wang came over, "Sister-in-law, Madam Fang next to Gu Jiu, is it the Madam Fang who came out of the palace?"
The eldest wife Xiao Wei nodded, "It's Mother Fang who came out of the palace."
The second wife Wang laughed, "I heard that there are still many disciples and grandchildren in the palace. Gu Jiu got the contacts of the mother in the palace. The old lady really felt sorry for Gu Jiu. "
"Second brother and sister, don't be convinced."
The second wife, Wang, covered her lips and smiled, "Sister-in-law is really good at talking and laughing, but I am not convinced. None of the girls in the Hou Mansion married into the royal family. Madam Fang followed the children, and she was indeed overkill. Gu Jiu is still the best. Suitable."
The eldest wife, Xiao Wei, said, "Now that the palace is not peaceful, the old lady is also worried that Gu Jiu will be embarrassed when she gets married in the palace, so she arranges for Mother Fang to wait on Gu Jiu's side."
The second wife Wang knew her heart and asked quietly, "Will there be an accident in Prince Ning's Mansion?"
The eldest wife Xiao Wei shook her head, "It's hard to tell."
The second wife, Wang, looked at Gu Jiu downstairs, and suddenly felt pity.
"Xiao Jiu, this child is also pitiful. He has an unreliable father and an unreliable marriage."
The eldest wife, Xiao Wei frowned, "My younger brother and sister said carefully. Nothing happened, don't talk nonsense."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will not say this."
The maid served tea to Mother Fang, and then brought a chair to ask Mother Fang to take a seat.
Madam Fang thanked: "Please thank the maid for the slave and maid."
"Mother, please sit down. My wife said that when she is free, she will talk to her."
"for sure."
Mother Fang sat down upright, behind Gu Jiu's side.
Gu Jiu whispered to her: "Mother sits in peace, no one dares to talk gossip."
"Thank you girl."
Mother Fang may be because she has a straight face all the year round and her facial muscles are so stiff that she can't make any extra expressions.
Xie frowned when he noticed Gu Jiu's movement.
She whispered to the Zhang family, "How did the old lady give a maid to the second maid for no reason? Isn't it bad to dislike the maid of our Gu Mansion?"
But I thought in my heart that Zhilan Academy would need one more person's expenses, but fortunately, the government paid for it.
The eldest wife Zhang looked at Mother Fang a few more times, and she looked familiar and seemed to have seen her somewhere.
She said: "Sisters and sisters, don't talk nonsense, the old lady will never dislike our Gu Mansion."
Xie snorted secretly, saying that Zhang was accustomed to whitewashing and flattering the old lady. No wonder the old lady likes her.
Gu Yue grabbed her handkerchief, and from the corner of her eyes, she focused on Mother Fang.
The old lady gave Gu Jiu a reward, but didn't give it to her. The old lady's heart turned to heaven.
Are these people blind? Why do both of them say Gu Jiu is good? Why does no one praise her?
Think about how beautiful she was when she was in the northwest. Compared with the current experience, Gu Yue's anger in her heart could hardly be concealed.
Mother Fang suddenly turned her head and stared at Gu Yue.
Sister Fang was serious at first, and her eyes were sharp as a knife.
Gu Yue trembled all over, with terrible eyes.
Mother Fang looked contemptuously, and the three girls in the Gu mansion were a restless master.
She has seen people like Gu Yue too much in the palace.
The heart is taller than the sky, self-righteous, jealous, self-reliant a little capable, and want to stir up trouble all day.
She had to stare at Gu Yue for Gu Jiu.
Gu Yue retracted his gaze and focused on the stage.
But my heart was cursing, old witch, what is so fierce. Isn't it just relying on the old lady's remaining prestige.
In the future, if she gains power, she must goug the old witch's eyes, sprinkle salt, and let the old witch swallow it herself.
After listening to the play, everyone left and returned home.
Chunhe took the time to visit the kitchen, sewing room, storeroom, and concierge.
When it was time for dinner, Aunt Bai found that the kitchen had only brought a few thick noodles and buns, plus a bowl of vegetable porridge that was so thin that the bottom of the bowl could be seen.
Aunt Bai was stunned, she couldn't believe it.
"What's the matter? Did your kitchen give me the wrong food?"
"Auntie can really laugh. Some food is good, so don't be picky about the auntie. Say goodbye to the slave."
The woman in the kitchen didn't give Aunt Bai the slightest face, so she spit on her face, waved her handkerchief, twisted her waist and walked away.
Aunt Bai was shocked.
Cui Liu yelled: "The kitchen lady deceived people too much. Is this for people to eat? They are not as good as the subordinates' meals, and they dare to give them to their aunts. The servants and servants will go to the kitchen to find them to judge. Don't mess with their faces."
Auntie Bai gritted her teeth, her face was pale, "Don't go."
Cui Liu stomped anxiously, "People are good at being bullied. If they don't go to the kitchen to make a fuss, they will be aunts to bully, and they will only become more aggressive."
Aunt Bai's face is extremely ugly, "It's useless for you to go and make trouble. The people in the kitchen don't have the courage to violate me, it is clear that it is ordered to act, and the wife wants to violate me."
Cui Liu was anxious, "Auntie, what shall we do? Will we eat thick noodles and steamed buns with a bowl of water every day in the future? This is too unreasonable, and the wife wants her aunt to die! Do you want to beg for two? Girl. The second girl is not what it used to be. As long as she speaks, the kitchen will not dare to act like this."
Aunt Bai slowly shook her head, "Don't find the second girl. The incense of the second girl can only be used at a critical moment."
If Aunt Bai knew that she would have this treatment, she would be bestowed by Gu Jiu. I wonder if she would regret meeting Gu Jiu yesterday.
Gu Jiu is generous, and she doesn't bother to care about small things.
But this doesn't mean that Gu Jiu doesn't care about anything. On the contrary, she loves to hold grudges.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but it is too late for a young woman to take revenge for ten days.
Yesterday, Auntie Bai angered Gu Jiu by playing tricks. How could Gu Jiu make her feel better.
No, Aunt Bai has ushered in a desperate day today.
Today is just the beginning.
In the future, Aunt Bai's life will only become more and more difficult.
Aunt Bai ate the thick noodle buns, tasteless, sad and helpless, and cried fiercely.
When Gu Lin learned of this, she ran over, and Aunt Bai cried again.
Gu Lin said angrily, "I'll go to the women in the kitchen, and I have to tear their mouths. This can't be done, Auntie, you wait for my good news."
Aunt Bai tried to stop her, but she swallowed her words again.
She can't make trouble, but Gu Lin's trouble may be effective.
Thick noodle steamed buns, gruel, I don’t want to eat it again.
Cui Liu said: "The slave and maidservant accompany the fifth girl."
Gu Lin was so angry that she took people to the kitchen to make a fuss.
Gu Lin's small arms and legs, where is the opponent of the kitchen woman.
The kitchen lady was big and round, and pushed Gu Lin to the ground.
"Okay, you dare to do something to the fifth girl, are you tired of life?" Cui Liu pointed at the kitchen woman and cursed.
The women in the kitchen sneered, with contempt and disdain, "If you have a kind, go and sue."
Gu Lin burst into tears, "I will go to see my father now. You will all wait for me, I will not let you go."
