Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 158
[Reward and update for the book friend Mu Crow's words]

The Gu family's house is very large, much larger than the Song family's other courtyard newly purchased by Zhang Zhe's family in Wuling County.

According to the rules, neither Zhao Ping nor Geng Liang could enter the second gate, so Zhang Zhe walked around the house alone.

But it seems that all the servants of the Gu family have left the Gu family. In the empty house, Zhang Zhe lost his way walking alone without a guide.

Zhang Zhe followed the smell of fireworks, but came to the ancestral hall of the Gu family.

The door of the ancestral hall was half open, and when he was about to turn around and leave, his heart skipped a beat.As a foreigner, he actually walked in without any hesitation.

The hall is full of spiritual seats, old and new.

Zhang Zhe naturally knew who owned the new tablet.But his eyes searched among the old tablets until he saw an old spiritual tablet.

"The concubine Gu Zhiying takes the position, and the elder brother Zhixieqi has been standing in Zhanghua for 25 years."

Zhang Hua 25 years?Zhang Zhe was two years old that year, and his biological mother happened to pass away.

Zhang Zhe picked up the spiritual tablet, and although there was no dust or cobwebs on it, he still wiped it silently.

He took three sticks of incense from the ancestral hall and lit them on the ever-burning lamp, and placed them in front of the birth mother's throne. Zhang Zhe respectfully kowtowed nine times for the original body and himself.

After leaving the Gu family's ancestral hall, Zhang Zhe seemed to feel a sullen feeling in his heart.

There was a sound of arguing at the gate in the distance, and it seemed that there was a lot of excitement over there again.

The four or five maidservants who came every day were blocked from the door by the newly appointed door god Geng Liang.

"It's been a matter of course since ancient times to pay off debts. Why do you have money to find someone to guard the gate, but you don't have money to pay off your debts?"

"That's right, that's right, this Gu family originally let us in, otherwise, who knows if you sold all your things inside?"

The servants only dared to quarrel with Geng Liang, but they didn't dare to barge in.

Some servants had sharp eyes and saw a nun who had never seen before coming out of the second door with a straight face.

Mother Chen arrived at the gate with a lukewarm smile on her face.

"Since everyone is here to settle the debts, you must have all the IOUs with you? If you bring them, then follow me in and settle the debts. What do you think?"

Which family would let the servants carry the IOU with them every day?
A servant woman was a little disbelieving: "Does the Gu family really have money to manage their accounts?"

Mother Chen smiled: "Whether the Gu family has one or not? The servants of our natal family don't know, and it's not easy to ask. Since our eldest lady knows about some property and debts, we must do our filial piety to the elderly. Each family did not bring an IOU. Yes, let’s get it quickly.”

Four or five servants left in doubt.

After half an hour, these women came together again, and were taken to the Gu family's courtyard by Mother Chen.

Now Zhang Zhe and his wife, maidservants and mother-in-law all live in this Guihe courtyard, which is the courtyard where Zhang Zhe's mother lived before she got married.

The grandson's daughter-in-law helped to clear the family's accounts, and the old lady Gu, who couldn't even give the younger generation a meeting gift, was really embarrassed to show up.

Just ask the older Gu Shuyi to follow her cousin, don't tell those women to falsely report their debts.

The debts of these families are all owed by the Gu family in business settlement, the most are no more than a hundred and the few are more than 50.Meng Xiaowan didn't want to see these servants, so she flipped through the IOU through a screen, and asked Chen's mother to pay it with interest.

"Wait!" Meng Xiaowan suddenly flipped through again, found one of the IOUs, and handed it to Gu Shuyi beside her.

"The Lu family owes 130 guan, and should pay 150 guan? Third sister, can you tell if this Lu family is the same Lu family that is in the jewelry business in Jiangling City?"

Just as Gu Shuyi was thinking, the maid from the Lu family outside the screen yelled loudly.

"In the entire Jiangling City, isn't the Lu family that sells jewelry the same as ours?! What's your question? They paid for all of them, so why are they suppressing my family?"

Meng Xiaowan smiled and took a warm water bag from Bailu's hand, tested the temperature with both hands, and stuffed it into Gu Shuyi's hand again.

"Presumably your Lu family is still involved in the Hongtong Money Shop business?"

"Yo," the servant woman exclaimed in surprise, "this lady from a foreign country actually knows the details of our family?"

Meng Xiaowan waved to Bai Ying and asked her to bring a small box, then took the key from Mother Chen, opened the box, and took out a piece of paper.

"Lv Suwen's family in Jiangling owes five thousand and one hundred guan to Zhang's family in Wuling. Go back and ask the master of your family, when will you plan to pay back the debt owed by Wuling County? Don't say that no one has returned from Wuling."

Meng Xiaowan's soft words were like a huge thunder, and the woman was full of panic.

She is a person close to the eldest lady of the Lu family, so how could she not know that something big happened to her family in Wuling, a neighboring province.The lord was locked up by the government and couldn't get rid of it. I heard that the 5000 guan capital that the Patriarch brought with him was gone, and he still owed the Zhang family more than [-] guan.

Who ever thought that the Zhang family in Wuling was actually a relative of the Gu family.

The woman walked away with a burst of laughter, and she hurried back to report.

From her point of view, Zhang Zhe and his wife did not come to Jiangling to visit their grandmother, but they actually came to Jiangling to collect the debt!

"This Lu family is the most hateful, but this servant girl is the head of his family, and it is his family who speaks the worst," Gu Shuyi whispered.

Meng Xiaowan glanced at her with a smile, and handed the invoice to Gu Shuyi casually.

Gu Shuyi was startled, but Meng Xiaowan laughed casually and said: "If the third sister is not relieved, she can just ask the girl in the room to go to Lu's house every day."

Gu San hastily put the receipt back into Meng Xiaowan's box, but his face became much more cheerful.

"My sister is already dreaming today, and my sister-in-law is like a bodhisattva who saves the suffering. I love the bodhisattva with all my heart. How can I do those immoral things?"

Meng Xiaowan carefully looked at Gu Shuyi's face, saw that she was puzzled, but teased her.

"I saw that the Mo family didn't want a younger sister to come through the door, but it was a big loss. I wonder where the Mo family can find such a beauty?"

Gu Shuyi blushed a little: "Sister-in-law is the most beautiful person, and my cousin didn't know how many lifetimes of blessings he had, so he married such a fairy as sister-in-law."

When Meng Xiaowan heard what she said, she just laughed, and there was a bit of complacency in her laughter.

"You are the only one who comforts me so much. We are full of people in Wuling, but there is no one who is not jealous of me. They all say that I have climbed up to him. The most caring people around me also feel that I am not worthy. What about him?"

In Mrs. Gu's living room, she was finally willing to use carbon today.

It's warm here, so the girls are all gathered here. Mrs. Gu was over excited just now, and she was a little dizzy and went to bed early.

And the new cousin Zhang Zhe is training people.

The person he reprimanded was the seven-year-old sixth girl from the Gu family, Gu Muyi.

"How long has it been since you practiced this word? It's almost better than the Taoist priests in the temple."

The seven-year-old girl raised her head: "Cousin, why do you say that Mu Yi's handwriting is better than those Taoist priests?"

"Hehe, Taoist priests write for ghosts, but humans can't understand it. Your handwriting is better than theirs. If you practice more, people will probably be able to understand it."

Mu Yi wiped her tears and threw herself into fourth sister Han Yi's arms, this cousin is too poisonous!

Han Yi lowered her head and did not dare to contradict her cousin, only Qin Yi, the fifth girl from the Gu family, looked straight into Zhang Zhe's eyes unconvinced.

Gu Qinyi is the one with the most vigor in the Gu family, even though she is only ten years old, ordinary servants dare not look at her for more than five breaths.

She gritted her teeth today and met Zhang Zhe's eyes.

The two sides persisted for more than a minute, and the atmosphere in the hall became depressed.The maidservants of the girls shrank their heads and hid aside, not daring to watch the "battle situation" here.

Zhang Zhe's eyes suddenly and slowly began to focus on the middle point, and Gu Qinyi's eyes also focused there.Two cross-eyed eyes appeared!

Qinyi's aggrieved cries sounded, Hanyi hugged her sixth younger sister and dared not look at her cousin even more.This cousin is terrible!
Zhang Zhe Shi ran out of the hall in a happy mood. Creatures like cousins ​​are quite fun.
