Chapter 705 The quarrel

The two sat in a carriage, followed by guards on horseback, and walked around the surrounding squares at random. When they met those who were interested, they got off the carriage to have a look. Naturally, those cooperative cloth houses were the first places to go. Seeing the turbulent flow of people inside and outside the shop, Gu Yun and Bai Kou lost the interest to get out of the car, as long as the business is good anyway.

They walked around and played, and spent most of the day outside. Gu Yun also took care of a few small things for the family. When they returned to the mansion, Tong Mingli and her husband had already returned home.

The Second Madam Gu sat in the room and scolded Gu Xu, the more she talked, the more she felt aggrieved.

Tong Mingli and Liang Zhongshan came to pay New Year's greetings and brought the latest news on the street these days. The cloth shops that each workshop cooperated with Gu Yun installed oversized full-length mirrors. The business of those cloth shops has been very good these days .

The second room is now an elder, and they are sitting at home waiting for the younger generation to come to pay New Year's greetings. Naturally, the second wife did not go out. Although the second master would go out to meet friends, he is an elderly man and has not paid attention to the bustle of the street. The scene has nothing to do with his nephew, so if Liang Zhongshan and his wife hadn't come over, the couple would not have known that Gu Yun's business was so generous.

"Tell me how you became the big brother. The younger brother has such a big business, but you don't know it at all. You are still two brothers, and you didn't even tell you to take you to make money."

"Gu Yun knows that I have no property under my name, what's the use of him telling me?"

"Why did I give birth to such a stupid son like you! You have no property under your name, and your wife has a cloth village under her name, and so does your mother. Did he ask you? He didn't say a word, making it clear that he didn't want you to be better than him. "Second Madam Gu slapped the table loudly, "Master, what are you talking about, are we just being bullied by the elder room?!"

"Madam, don't get angry. What does this have to do with the long house? It's Gu Yun's business alone, whoever he wants to cooperate with can blame him?" Second master Gu also felt that his wife's temper was a bit strange.

"Who does Gu Yun like to do business with is his business? Then whose son do you think he is? If he is not the eldest son of the eldest son, can he be canonized as the eldest son? He is so young and has no business experience. He doesn't know how to find a partner, it's not that someone instigated him to split up with our second and third bedrooms."

The more Mrs. Gu said, the more sad she became, and she slapped her chest.

"Our niece-in-law Liang Zhongshan has said that our Gu Chan's husband-in-law is on him, and he will go out to pay attention to Zhang Luo. He is Princess Yu's younger brother. After all, our Gu Chan is destined to marry a child of the clan. You want to marry better than Gu Yan, when Gu Yan and her husband came back to pay New Year's greetings in the second year of junior high school, the sisters and brothers would all salute her, you didn't see her proud face at that time."

Hearing the name Liang Zhongshan, the father and son glanced at each other quietly, and didn't answer the question, so they let Tong Shi talk vigorously by himself.

Mrs. Gu finished what she wanted to say in one breath, stopped to take a breath, looked up and saw the father and son with dull expressions like wooden figures, she couldn't help but slapped the table a few times angrily.

"I've said so much, you two should give some reaction! Now that the head room is bullying us, you just accept it like this?"

"Ma'am, I need to be clear. Do you mean the eldest brother and sister-in-law you are talking about, or just Gu Yun? Don't pin what Gu Yun himself did on the elder brother and sister-in-law. There is one thing to say and another to say the other. Don't mess around."

"Why did I mess around? Why did I mess around? Why did you tell me, explain clearly, why did I mess around? Gu Yun is not their son, and it's not yet Gu Yun's turn to be the master of the house! How could he? Don't you want to listen to his parents' face-to-face teachings? Gu Yun's own business is big, but he doesn't bring his own brother along, it must be instigated by the elder's parents-in-law!" Mrs. Gu jumped up and patted the table, and her voice became louder and louder. bigger.

"Mother, if you don't say a few words, it would be embarrassing for the servants to hear. They thought we were jealous of Gu Yun getting rich."

"Am I jealous of Gu Yun getting rich? I feel sorry for your sister, Gu Chan. She is almost an old girl, and she hasn't even settled on a husband's family. If you want to marry high, you have to get a corresponding dowry. Easy to marry? Gu Yan's husband and son-in-law are not of high status, so they don't have high requirements for dowry. Her dowry is well prepared, but if we, Gu Chan, marry better than Gu Yan, we have to double the dowry, right? ? Do you think the public will pay it all? If Gu Yun hadn't wanted to marry a wife in the future, would he have started a business?"

"Mother, since you know that Gu Yun makes money to marry a wife in the future, why do you care about him?"

"Why don't you understand, my silly son, he is short of money to marry a wife and your sister is married, he knows this, and now that his business is doing so well, he won't give you a hand, in his eyes There is no you at all, you are his big brother!"

The more Mrs. Gu said, the more sad and sad she became, she couldn't help crying, and the girls beside her were so scared that they hurried forward to comfort her.

"Mother, you don't go out every day. Where did you hear that Gu Yun's business is doing well? He has been investing money in it all the time, and there is no revenue at all. He also promised the saint to pay taxes of ten thousand taels, and he didn't even pay any taxes." Do you know when it will be fulfilled? If it takes too long, and you are bullied by ginseng, mother, do you know the consequences? Do you know that it will affect our whole family? I will also be implicated, and next year will be another year Chunwei, my term of office is about to expire. Do you want me to stay in the capital or not come back after going to other places for a few years? And Dad, his term of office will expire at the end of the past three years. Do you want to He's going to a place farther away? Can't come back after Chinese New Year?"

The weeping Mrs. Gu was so frightened by her son's words that she shrank back her tears, and held her husband's hand in a panic, her voice hoarse.

"My lord, I'm confused. It's because I was angry for a while, and I didn't choose what to say. Let's not mention this matter, let's not mention it."

"Ma'am, it's useless for you to be shrewd on weekdays, but you can't get out of such a dead end. Gu Yun's business is supported by his sister-in-law. If you want our Xu'er to have a private property, then you can follow the example of my sister-in-law and go out directly." Money, do you have to scold the eldest house so badly? Gu Yun used your money to do business? You helped him get his current title of Emperor Merchant? Sister-in-law’s own dowry is promising every year. Some of them gave to the public. How much money have you given to the public for so many years since you married in? Do you want to calculate how many shops are left in your hands after more than 20 years? You are not a business material. The dowry is almost lost, and you still have the face to scold the eldest house for being unkind?"

The second master Gu was so upset by his wife's nonsense, he slapped the table and cursed angrily, the second wife started sobbing again, and the maids hurriedly rubbed her chest and back to prevent her from getting angry.

Gu Chan, who was resting in her own room, heard the girl report that her parents had quarreled, so she rushed to try to persuade the quarrel, and heard her father's roar just after entering the door.
