Chapter 902 Who Made the Idea of ​​Separation
In the early morning of the next day, the news of the separation of the family spread in the mansion. Everyone seemed to have been struck by lightning. If the house blamed too much, it caused dissatisfaction with the court, and ultimately affected the interests of the entire big family. Only when the head of the house was stable, the rest of the side branches could enjoy the benefits.

But thinking about what the second wife has done in the past few years, if the old lady hadn't thought about it for her own son, she might have decided to separate the family a long time ago.

The Gan family accepted Gu Yun's suggestion, and went to ask Bai Kou for advice in person at Cheng County Prince's Mansion on the opposite side early in the morning. Bai Kou was also surprised when he heard that Duke Ye's mansion was going to separate. After a series of events, it is not surprising that the old lady finally made up her mind.

"Grandma Xu is so eager to move, what's the opinion of the second wife and Uncle Xu?"

"I can't control them. I'm the richest person in the family now. They still hope that my mother's family can calm down and pull Gu Xu again. The last time the farm withdrew its shares, I still have a lot of cash left in my hands." , plus the annual revenue from shops and farmland, it is not a problem to support a large family of masters and servants, unless Gu Xu turns over, they can only rely on my face to get by."

"Then congratulations to grandma for officially becoming the daughter-in-law of the head of the family."

Gan smiled slightly as a thank you to Bai Kou for his congratulations, but there was a trace of bitterness in the smile.

"If grandma has time now, I'll take you to see the house, but the condition is not very good. After all, it has been idle for a long time. If you like it, you should quickly renovate it."

"As long as the roof doesn't leak and the ground doesn't accumulate water, I'm fine." Gan happily stood up immediately.

"Grandma Xu lived in a commoner's house?"

"We have Zhuangzi, and we go to the farm in summer to escape the summer heat. I have seen what poor people's homes look like. The earthen walls in the yard are not as high as a person, and the drainage inside and outside is not smooth. In summer, the accumulated water in the yard can cover your ankles when there is a heavy rain."

"Oh, since grandma Xu has seen such a terrible scene, I can rest assured. Although the house in my hand has been idle for a long time, it is guaranteed not to be in such a bad situation. Shall we leave now?" Bai Kou got up slowly , Xiao Yezi cleverly brought her satchel, but she still went to the study and took out a bunch of keys.

"Okay, okay, where is it? Do you want to take a car?"

"It's in Tianshuifang today, does grandma want to take a sedan chair?"

"Since I'm in the workshop, I won't take a sedan chair. I'm not that delicate. Besides, Bai Kou, you must not take a sedan chair, right?"

"It's called Grandma, I prefer to walk."

Bai Kou carried the satchel on her back, and sent Xiao Yezi to tell Princess Cheng. She led Gan Shi and her maid directly out of the palace through the side door, and a group of people walked to Qu Shi's cart.

"My unoccupied house is actually two adjacent courtyards. The back door is facing the big car dealership of the district family, and the front door is in Zhugan Lane. At first, it was rented from the village house, and it was used as a glass workshop before. Since moving After going to the factory, it was left unoccupied, but it was not completely demolished, leaving some traces of the workshop, and it could no longer be used as an ordinary house for other families to live in for a long time, so one day Gu Yun bought it, planning to have it someday. A new inspiration comes in handy for other uses.”

"It's like you converted the old soap workshop into a new women's tea room?" Gan continued with a smile.

"Yes, it has now been proven that this idea is very successful."

"But I'm glad you still have the workshop you once had."

"I'm also very glad that Gu Yun didn't come up with any random ideas. His time as an imperial merchant is too short and his resources are limited. He should have given other suggestions?"

"Yes, he suggested that I find a clan member or Princess Cheng, but it will take time, and I know that if they help, they will definitely find me a good house, but I really can't wait to move out, I hope you can forgive me small capriciousness."

"It's nothing, it's just human nature. Grandma has been really frustrated in the past few years, and suddenly she has the opportunity to be the master of the house. I completely understand the eagerness, just like I suddenly received a pardon. I don't want to stay for a moment longer, anyone who dares to tell me that if I stay in Duke Ye's mansion for a while longer, I will definitely turn my face, but no one said this to me, Princess Cheng didn't leave anyone else a chance."

"Haha, yes, I know, she came to pick you up in person early in the morning, and didn't give anyone a chance to annoy you."

Knowing that Bai Kou could understand her feelings, Gan felt more and more relaxed, and the two came to the gate of Oujia's big car dealership talking and laughing.

The car was leaving in the alley, and the empty car was going to pick up a batch of goods. When the manager of the car dealership, Gu Gu, saw Bai Kou and a lady he didn't know coming, he immediately went up to say hello.

"Shopkeeper Bai, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing recently?"

"TOEFL TOEFL, everything is fine. Let me introduce you two. This is Grandma Xu from Duke Ye's mansion, and this is Lao Gu, the manager of this car dealership."

Lao Gu hurriedly said hello to Gan, "Grandma Xu, our cousin Gu Hui has been taken care of by the family. I am very grateful and grateful."

Gan's face blushed, she had met Gu Hui only a handful of times, how could she take care of her, she returned the gift in embarrassment and embarrassment.

"Old Gu, haven't burglars entered these two rooms of mine?"

"No, no, it's been fine."

"Then I'll go in and have a look first, and I'll tell you when I come out."

Bai Kou took out the key and opened the back doors of the two houses. Gan followed Bai Kou into one and told her girl to look at the other.

After entering the back door, he was actually standing in the backyard, and Gan saw the courtyard wall in the middle.

"Huh? The two houses are just adjacent and not connected?"

"It's not the same. This house was rented at the beginning, and the general layout cannot be changed. After buying it, it has been left untouched."

"That's pretty good." There was a little joy in Gan's heart.

"Be careful on the ground. The potholes are the traces left by the large tools and stoves. Be careful not to twist your feet or trip over them. Some look like bricks, but they are actually built on the ground and have not been completely removed. .”

Gan quickly lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, looked at the unevenness under her feet, and walked slowly across the backyard to the main room in front.

The standard residential house on one mu of land, although the sparrow is small, has all kinds of internal organs, and all kinds of houses needed by ordinary people in daily life. The backyard is actually connected to the back building. The street gate is just a house to enter.

Because the house has been idle for a long time, the doors and windows have to be re-pasted with window paper. In addition to the accumulated dust, there is also a musty smell of no ventilation. The bedroom is a kang instead of a bed.

"The rooms in common people's houses are small, and any furniture must be used to the maximum extent. The bed is not as useful as a kang. The winter in the capital is damp and cold, so you can sleep peacefully at night with a kang."

"It doesn't matter, I slept on the kang, I'm not a fastidious person."

Gan walked up and down the courtyard, looked at every room, and seemed very satisfied.

"Grandma Xu, what do you think of this house?"

"It's very good, I'm quite satisfied, as long as we clean it up, we can move in." Gan Shi excitedly held Bai Kou's hand, "Let it to me?"

"I can lend it to you, but I can't rent it to you. After all, Gu Yun is Gu Xu's cousin. You are just separating the family, not the clan, let alone expelling the clan. For the sake of the elders, there is still brotherhood. And it just happens to use your popularity to support the house."

"Then, the renovation of these two houses will be handed over to me. If I don't pay any money, I will feel very sorry."

"Okay, then I'll introduce you to a foreman, and you will take care of everything for him. I promise that when you officially move in, it will be a bright and clean house."

"okay!"

Gan Shi responded readily, and she also trusted the person Bai Kou introduced. The two went out hand in hand after seeing the house.

Bai Koo stopped a few children playing in the alley, and gave each of them a copper coin to call the foreman she recognized, while Lao Gu invited them to the car dealership to rest. A temporary shelter is needed for the sake of separation.

What did the Second Madam Gu of the Duke of Ye’s Mansion do? Tianshuifang has long been rumored in the streets and alleys. Old Gu sighed for a while. After half a stick of incense, the foreman came to negotiate the business, and Mrs. Gan paid half of the deposit first. , Let Lao Gu be the contact person, and notify the move as soon as the two houses are cleaned up.

After completing the official business of this trip, Bai Kou dropped by to send Mrs. Gan back to Ye State Duke's mansion. She also had to write a letter to her elder brother and sister-in-law to explain the current situation, and borrowed their house to temporarily store her dowry, as well as her large number of people. The accompanying room also needs another place to settle.

Mrs. Gu is still sitting in her room sighing, not knowing where she can move in a month, and worrying about how angry her husband in Pingzhou will be if he receives a letter from his family and knows the situation at home. .

I was secretly feeling sad, and the servants came in and told that the grandma had found a temporary transitional house, which was in Tianshuifang, and she would move only when it was cleaned up.

Mrs. Gu flew into a rage after hearing this.

"She can't wait!"

The servants didn't dare to say anything, but they withdrew after reporting the incident.

The more Mrs. Gu thought about it, the more she felt that her daughter-in-law's behavior was suspicious. She only announced the separation yesterday, but she found a new house today.

She must have instigated the old lady to split up the family!definitely is!

Mrs. Gu was wandering around the room. Once this idea sprouted, it took root, sprouted and thrived, and it could never be dismissed.

Thinking that a month later, it will no longer be the second Mrs. Gu of Ye State Duke's Mansion who is highly respected by others, but only Mrs. Gu. The Second Mrs. is full of reluctance, even fear. Without the protection of the Duke, she does not know how to go. Just thinking about what life will look like in the future makes me feel scared and creepy.

But this daughter-in-law of mine actually disregarded the interests of her family and instigated the old lady to separate the family!
Never let her go lightly!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu couldn't hold back anymore, stepped out of the room, and rushed to her son's daughter-in-law's small courtyard angrily.
