Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 176 Doubt
After breakfast, Chu Xiong asked Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia to go to work, saying that he was going out to visit friends too.

Chu Tiankuo took Jiang Zhixia to visit the house first, and then returned to the main courtyard to arrange the dowry.After putting the dowry in the treasury, it's time to meet the servants.

In the front yard, most of the people who lived there were Chu Tiankuo's subordinates who were out on business.

After Chu Tiankuo got married, he drew up a row of houses, raised the walls between the front yard and the outer yard, and opened a separate gate for going out directly.The outer courtyard and the front yard are connected by the corner door.

In this way, it is safe, ready and independent.

Today, Chu Tiankuo asked all his subordinates to come to the main courtyard first, and pay a formal visit to the mistress of the family --- at least in the future, when the mistress orders her, she will also know her.

After the arrangement of the people in the outer courtyard is completed, it is the servants in the front courtyard who have signed the death contract.A small number of servants, coachmen, rough envoys, etc. all came to pay their respects.

After meeting the servants of Chu Tiankuo's family, and after Jiang Zhixia finished offering rewards, it was Jiang Zhixia's servants who came to visit Chu Tiankuo, the uncle.

Uncle He's family and Xing Ruolan will stay in the capital to serve them.

Xing Zhuangtou took the five servants who were serving in the Zhuangzi, and after the visit, he was going back to the farm.

Meet in this way, change your words, give rewards, and lecture.After all these trivial matters were done, Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia were finally the only two people left in the main courtyard who could have a good talk.

"It doesn't matter if it's other wives or maids. You can just arrange the purchases. I'll ask the accountant to send you a bank note in a while. You can use the public money for all purchases."

Chu Tiankuo said to Jiang Zhixia, this means letting go of all power.

"You understand the rules of big families." Jiang Zhixia said with a smile.

Although she is extremely proficient in rules and etiquette, those are just rules.She really doesn't know much about these housekeepers.

"I don't understand. I am also a rough person from the countryside. This is all explained by Aunt Lin. She said that we are married, and you are a person who understands rules and manners. If you don't do well, you will laugh. That's why I am rude. I have learned a little bit. However, one of my men is older and wants to serve in the house. I let him be the housekeeper. Now, I am letting him learn from the housekeeper of Aunt Lin's house." Chu Tian He replied with a wide smile.

The two talked and laughed about family affairs.

I saw Ruolan walking in with a stack of papers, "Girl...uh, ma'am, this is a gift slip from the cashier, please have a look at it, ma'am and uncle."

Jiang Zhixia took it over and took a look. It turned out that it was a gift list given to Chu Tiankuo by each family when they got married.

So, she changed hands and handed it over to Chu Tiankuo.

"Let's watch it together. Repaying the gift in the future will be arranged by you." Chu Tiankuo said with a smile, pressing her hand.

Jiang Zhixia was embarrassed and wanted to take his hand back, but Chu Tiankuo naturally refused.

Seeing this situation, Ruolan covered her mouth with a smile and backed away.

Seeing that there was no one left, Jiang Zhixia withdrew his hand vigorously, and glared at him angrily.Then concentrate on looking at the gift list.

"Huh? Cheng Enhou Mansion actually sent a gift?" Jiang Zhixia looked at the gift list in surprise and said.

When Chu Tiankuo heard this, he leaned over and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, the name of Cheng Enhou's Mansion was written on the gift list.He thought about it carefully, he was busy yesterday morning, and he simply met with those high-ranking officials and ministers who gave gifts.It seems that there are servants from Cheng Enhou's mansion?
However, he was already busy yesterday, and his thoughts were all on marrying Zhixia, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

The two of them looked at each other, wondering what the meaning of Chengenhou Mansion was?
Not to mention, Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia were thinking about the intention of the Chengenhou Mansion.

In other words, the person sent by Cheng Enhou's mansion to give gifts is the old housekeeper who has followed Cheng Enhou for many years.

Because Cheng Enhou happened to have something to do in the yamen on the day Chu Tiankuo got married, so after leaving the yamen at night, he didn't go home, but lived in the classroom.

It's just that the old housekeeper who gave the gift was tossing and turning all night.

Until the evening of the second day, after hearing that Marquis Cheng En had come down to the Yamen, the old housekeeper hurriedly went to the gate to greet him in person.

"Did the circles under your eyes be beaten? Why are they so dark?"

Cheng Enhou saw the dark circles under the old butler's eyes that he couldn't hide, and joked with a smile.

The old butler just twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything.However, his expression couldn't hide his anxiety.

When Chengenhou saw it, he was sure to have something to do.So, he took the old butler with strides to the study in the front yard and asked.

But the old butler hesitated for a long time.Instead, he went to the shelf in the study, found the comforting pills that Cheng Enhou usually took, and put it on the desk.

After finishing all this, he resolutely said: "Master, this old slave went to give the marriage gift to General Chu yesterday. General Chu took the time to meet this old slave, and this old slave found that he looked very much like Madam when she was young. look."

After hearing this, Marquis Cheng En stood up out of composure, and was so excited that he even knocked over the tea.

"Really?" Cheng Enhou asked with a trembling voice.

"Exactly. After the old slave went to deliver the gift, he thought that General Chu was familiar. But he couldn't remember it. He went back to the mansion, and when he went to see his wife at night, he remembered how she was when she was young. However, at that time It's already a curfew, and the old slave is not sure. So, I didn't dare to go to the yamen to disturb the master. The old slave has been tossed and turned all night, and the more I think about it, the more I feel like my wife when she was young."

The old housekeeper also said eagerly.No wonder he couldn't remember.

When Madam was young, her appearance was bright and gorgeous.

However, after experiencing the injury when giving birth to the second girl, the downfall of her mother's family later, the premature death of the eldest young master, the loss of the only male seedling of the third young master, and so on.

Today's eldest lady, because she often washes her face with tears and frowns deeply, has caused her face to change greatly.They are completely different from when they were young.

If it weren't for the fact that he followed the master since he was a child and saw his wife's beautiful appearance when she was young, he probably wouldn't associate the current Mrs. Hou with the young lady when she was young.

"Then I'll go see him now..." Cheng Enhou was about to go out excitedly.

When the old butler saw it, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "However, although he looks like him, he has a father."

"Is there a father?" Cheng Enhou's heart suddenly cooled down when he heard it.

The old housekeeper kept looking at Cheng Enhou's face.Perhaps in these years, he has experienced too many hopes and disappointments, and Cheng Enhou's ability to bear it is also very strong.Although his face was ugly, he didn't need to take medicine.

"Yes. There is a father. I went to inquire today. His father was also in the Zhenwei Army before, and now he is disarmed and returned to the field. However, the master can also investigate again. Let those capable investigators investigate again. In case First, what about the little master?"

The old housekeeper said eagerly.

Cheng Enhou sat down again in a daze.

Having a father is just a resemblance, so it can't be said that it is nothing.

It has been more than 20 years, that is, their family, still has hope, and they are spreading their hands everywhere to find it.

Unfortunately, there was no result after all.

There have been people with similar looks before, but after layers of verification, the result is not.

On the contrary, let the family experience another disappointment and pain.
