Medical skills help me win the arrogant husband

Chapter 7 Serious shortage of money

Butler Li came in with vigor.

Steward Li reported the movements of his other two brothers to Chu Rui without any hesitation.

"My wife appointed the second daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion for the second master, and the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites for the third master. By the way, the fourth lady's marriage is also planned. She is the eldest son of Wangbeihou's mansion."

Chu Rui narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Madam has a good eye."

Mr. Li said: "Yes, madam has always had a good eye." But he sighed in his heart, madam is cruel to the son of the world, since she was young, most of them reprimanded him, what kind of people are they ordering one after another?

Whether it was the two young ladies who had died before, or this Miss Gu Wu, Mr. Li felt very sorry for the son.

It's just that there are rumors that the son of the world has restrained his wife, and many high-ranking families are unwilling to marry their daughters.

Although this Gu Wu came from a poor background and his reputation is not very good, otherwise he would not be qualified to marry the eldest son.

Steward Li's voice was low and tense, "Yesterday Madam came to me to ask for the keys to the treasury. She wanted to give the imperial gift and land that the emperor bestowed to the son as a dowry to the fourth lady. I did not agree, and said that it would be decided by the son."

As an elder brother, it's only natural for him to add a dowry to his younger sister, but the elder brother must be willing to do so.

It's really too much for the wife to use the property of the eldest son without telling the eldest son because she is the biological mother of the eldest son.

Fortunately, in the past few years, with the growth of age, the son of the world is no longer as foolish and filial as before, and knows how to reject his wife back.

While Director Li was relieved, he became more and more dissatisfied with his wife.The eldest son of the eldest son is the eldest son of the wife. All future honors and favors belong to the elder son, and there is no time to please him. How can he suppress partiality everywhere?
……

While Gu Fuyun was recuperating, all the sisters from the Gu family came to see her.

In addition to her own sister Gu Xiaoyun, Miss Four, Miss Six, and Miss Seven also came to visit her.

Gu Shuyun stood in front of Gu Fuyun's couch, and smiled contemptuously: "Congratulations to Fifth Sister, all wishes come true."

Gu Fuyun was copying the family letter, and his hands hurt from copying.

She put down the brush and said embarrassedly: "Fourth sister, your congratulations really make me feel ashamed."

"You should be happy that you plotted against the son of the Protector of the Kingdom, and entered into a marriage contract with the Chu family as you wished." Gu Shuyun was so angry that her brows stood on end.

Gu Qingyun quickly grabbed her and said, "Fifth Sister, I came here with two sisters, mainly to visit Fifth Sister. Fifth Sister seems to be fine, so we won't bother Fifth Sister to copy the house rules." Pulled Gu Shuyun's sleeve again.

Gu Fuyun said: "Thank you sisters for still coming to visit me. I, I am very happy." He looked embarrassed.

"Hmph." Gu Shuyun hummed and left.

Walking to the door, Gu Shuyun turned his head again, and said to Gu Fuyun: "Climbing high branches is nothing, but living comfortably on the branches is the skill." Pushing away Shuqing who came in with tea, Go away with high spirits.

Gu Qingyun bit her lip and said, "I'm going to chase Sixth Sister." She also followed.

After leaving Hanxiangyuan, Gu Qingyun held Gu Shuyun back: "Why are you talking so aggressively?"

Gu Shuyun shook off the girl's hand: "This kind of person, in order to achieve his goal, does not care about our sister's reputation at all, I have more nasty things to say."

Gu Qingyun sighed softly: "Silly sister, no matter how ridiculous what Fifth Sister did, she has already entered into a marriage contract with the prince of the protector of the country."

Gu Shuyun snorted heavily: "Seventh sister, I know what you and your mother are thinking, don't you just think that fifth sister has climbed a high branch, and maybe our family will rely on her to support our family in the future. I don't think so. Let me see how she can gain a foothold in the Duke Protector's Mansion. Then we should not implicate our Gu family."

Gu Shuyun's words were very loud, and Gu Fuyun in the room heard it too. There was no embarrassment on his face, but he nodded in agreement, and raised his voice: "Sixth sister, you are very right. If my sister is protecting the country in the future The government is not doing well, and I will hope that my sixth sister will help me when the time comes."

A mouthful of old blood gushed into Gu Shuyun's throat, but he couldn't spit it out.

"Shameless." After a while, Gu Shuyun said bitterly, stomped her feet heavily, and left.

Gu Youyun in the room also swallowed back the words that were on the verge of her lips, and then reorganized her words and said, "Fifth sister, rest at ease and heal your wounds, I will come to see you in a few days."

After the room was quiet, Gu Fuyun rubbed his throbbing temples. Everyone gloated and thought that marrying with such a reputation would not lead a good life.

Therefore, she copied the family rules more seriously.

……

The wound on her forehead was also scarred. The doctor said that it might leave a scar, but she didn't care.She is a doctor, so at best, she can buy some medicinal materials to prepare the medicine for removing scars.

Brothers like the Gu family, doctors always come to serve them. Of course, the service fee is not cheap. One visit is one tael of money for transportation, and the medicine fee is not included.

Gu Fuyun's money is four to two months a month.Taking a bowl of Yangchun noodles outside for three Wen to calculate, the silver can buy two hundred shi of rice in two or two months, which is equivalent to the salary of an ordinary white-collar worker in modern times.

The monthly money and food and clothing expenses of the maids in her yard are all paid by Gongzhong.

But now she is waiting for the crime, and all the monthly money has been withheld.

Take out Gu Fuyun's former private money, it's only about a dozen taels of silver, and some scattered gold and silver beads, but most of them are relatively light in weight.

Yongning Bo's Mansion is just an ordinary noble in Beijing, and his family business is not considered rich.Before, because of the typhoon tail of the battle for the throne, the house was almost ransacked, and he has not recovered until now.

The Gu family is an earl, and with the land and salary bestowed by the emperor, it is more than enough to support a hundred people.However, due to the end of the typhoon in the battle for the heir apparent, the fertile land bestowed by the royal family has already been confiscated, and now only the salary is left.

The old lady manages her family well. Over the years, after increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, she has re-purchased [-] mu of fertile land in Xiaowai, as well as a dozen or so large shops on Chaoyang Street and Fengtai Street. The annual rent is also a lot of money.

The Gu family has a simple population and doesn't spend much. As long as they don't waste money, they can live a good life.But because of the broken halberd once, I still follow the simple and simple route.

As for Gu Fuyun's treatment of his forehead and ankle, it cost him twenty taels of silver. Not to mention the thrifty Zhou family, even Gu Fuyun couldn't bear it.

When the doctor came to change her dressing for the third time, Gu Fuyun said to the doctor: "My wound is almost healed, leave the ointment, I will apply the medicine myself."

The doctor refused, and found a lot of reasons to reject Gu Fuyun.He is the exclusive doctor of the Gu family, and the pharmacy is not far from the Gu family. He can easily earn a tael of silver when he visits the uncle's house. He supports the family of seven by treating the Gu family.

Gu Fuyun somewhat understood what the doctor was thinking, so he didn't say anything else, thinking to himself, if I live in a bad life in the Duke Huguo's mansion, I will simply go back to my old job and do my old job.

The days of confinement were boring. The books Shuqing found were either "Nvrui" or Gu's family rules. She asked her to borrow some books from her brothers in the outer courtyard. What she borrowed was only "Historical Records". Go out and buy.And Da Qichao's book is too expensive, and she is reluctant to buy it with her luxurious life of calling for slaves.The main reason is that she spent all her private money by buying two medical books.Reading by candles at night is too taxing for the eyes.To pass the time, Shuqing simply asked Shuqing to find charcoal and paper to draw.Although there is no way to become a talented woman who can speak well, at least she can make up for her reputation of being ignorant through painting.
