Chapter 36 Asking for Money (1)

Madam Zhuang made someone serve tea, and Gu Minghe unfolded the clothes she brought, exquisite, simple, elegant, luxurious, and fresh, and spread out a bed.

"I thought that when my sister returned home, my mother made clothes once, and again during the New Year's Day according to the regulations, but I didn't know that my sister's clothes were still not enough. It was my mother's negligence." Gu Minghe said with a gentle smile, "My sister also made clothes. Really, we are all a family, why did my sister go to the second aunt instead of telling my mother, and let others know that she was going to laugh at my mother."

There are hidden traps in these words. First, Gu Mingxuan is greedy, and then Gu Mingxuan does not treat them as a family, and deliberately traps her stepmother into injustice.

"Sister, these clothes are all worn out. Don't be disgusted with them. My mother has already ordered me to ask the master from Jinxiu Pavilion to come and make some more clothes for my sister the day after tomorrow. The money will be deducted from my mother's share." Gu Minghe still insisted. Gentle and gentle, with a somewhat apologetic expression on his face.

In the words, the kindness of He's stepmother was revealed.

Nanny Zhuang had already given instructions that Gu Mingxuan should not open her mouth today, and she will handle everything. Therefore, Gu Mingxuan just glanced at Nanny Zhuang, and Nanny Zhuang smiled. She said, "Look at what Second Miss said, miss My family, the two seasons add up to eight pieces of clothes, which lady can wear eight pieces of clothes, if you always wear the same clothes when you go out, wouldn’t it make people laugh at our majestic Shun’an Hou Mansion, who can’t even make a few pieces of clothes start?"

Nanny Zhuang talked, and changed from Gu Minghe accusing Gu Mingxuan of being greedy to her stepmother treating her first wife's daughter harshly, leaving the majestic young lady of the Hou Mansion without clothes, He gritted her teeth.

"However, this is not the time to make clothes, so the old man is afraid to go to his wife and let his wife spend money on new works, so he temporarily asks the second wife to borrow two sets of clothes for emergencies. It is a family, no matter it is given by the wife. It was given by the second wife, they are all the same; but since my wife has such a motherly heart, I dare not stop it, and it happens that the eldest lady doesn’t have any spring clothes, so let’s make some spring clothes for the eldest lady this time, my lord. Miss, hurry up and thank Madam." Madam Zhuang continued, and after she finished speaking, she touched Gu Mingxuan's hand.

"Thank you mother for spending money for my daughter." Gu Mingxuan got up obediently, and thanked He Shi.

Gu Minghe said that Gu Mingxuan did not regard their mother and daughter as a family, and Nanny Zhuang said that the second wife was also a family, implying that Gu Minghe did not regard the second wife as a member of the Gu family, Gu Minghe hesitated slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes? , I only want to get close to my sister urgently, I said something wrong, please forgive me."

Gu Mingxuan showed a shy smile on her face, and said a little playfully: "Since my sister is so sincere, let my mother make me some more spring clothes as an apology."

Although shy, she also expressed intimacy, which was very similar to the jokes between normal sisters. Gu Minghe pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Sister is really greedy."

Gu Mingxuan also smiled timidly, and her eyes fell on Mrs. He's face. Mrs. He was far from Gu Minghe's morality. At this time, her complexion was a little distorted. A smile flashed in Gu Mingxuan's eyes, and she said to Gu Minghe: "It's a big deal, sister, thank you mother a few times. Yes."

After speaking, he bowed his bow again to Mrs. He, thanking him: "Daughter, thank you mother."

When is she going to call Jinxiu Pavilion!He gritted her teeth, but she didn't tear down Gu Minghe's platform, but hearing Zhuang Nanny and Gu Mingxuan being so rude, He was still so angry that her teeth ached. Now that Gu Mingxuan thanked her again, she was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while. After tugging at her, He forced a smile and said, "I'm a mother, so I should love my daughter."

After leaving a pile of clothes behind, she got a promise to make new clothes. Nanny Zhuang got up to send Mrs. He and Gu Minghe out, and then said naturally: "Today, I helped the eldest lady pack the box, and found that the eldest lady only has three or five taels in her hand. It was only then that I remembered that Miss’s monthly records for the past ten years had all been stored on Madam’s side. Now that Miss is getting older, she won’t spend money recklessly. The old man thought that Miss is a big girl, and it’s inconvenient if she doesn’t have any money on hand. , so I want to get back the monthly bills that are stored with Madam."

When Mrs. He was stunned, even Gu Minghe frowned slightly. The allowance for ladies is six taels a month, 72 taels a year, and 720 taels a decade. This is not a small sum!
But, since Nanny Zhuang opened her mouth, can she refuse?
