Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 207

When Gu Yong finished signing the contract, his whole body was limp, and he couldn't even stand firmly.

Mother Feng on the side pointed at the bank note that Gu Sixiao had just put in her hand, her brows were brimming with joy, and she kept winking, "I said, little lady, do you want anything else? As long as you want , I will dig it out for you."

Gu Sixiao raised her eyebrows, "Does Mom think I look like a robber?"

After laughing twice, Mother Feng looked at Gu Sixiao. Although she didn't speak, her eyes clearly regarded her as a robber.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to force Gu Yong to sign the contract is indeed a bit of a robbery, but Gu Yong also used this trick to coax the old house from the Gu family back then, and she used her own way to treat him. Not too much.

Instead of looking at Gu Yong, Gu Sixiao carefully read the deed in his hand again, slowly tucked it back into his sleeve, and was about to turn around.

"Wait!" Gu Yong hissed, barely propped himself up, and shouted: "What do you want this old house for? You, you don't look like you are short of money now? You have become that Mr. Su?" Your concubine?! No, no, you are still dressing up as a girl!"

"Whether I am a girl or a concubine has nothing to do with high officials?" Gu Sixiao sneered, "As for why I want this old house, you can't guess?! Don't you forget, I am Is the surname Gu?!"

"My surname is Gu? Your surname is Gu..." Gu Yong blinked, "Could it be that you are me outside..."

"Bah, with one mouth, can you only talk nonsense?" Gu Sixiao was about to be laughed out of anger.

This Gu Yong thinks he's romantic, but he guesses there, he's such a jerk.

"Don't worry, my Gu has nothing to do with your Gu! This Gu is the Gu of the Songjiang Gu family, the fan king's Gu family, not the Gu of your scholarly family."

With a flicker of eyes, Gu Sixiao said calmly: "In this world, evil should be rewarded with evil, and good should be rewarded with good, but now you are just receiving retribution! Gu Yong, if I were you, I would never be in Beijing again." Stay, if you want to stay, I'm afraid you're really going to climb back to Songjiang Mansion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sixiao didn't want to go to see Gu Yong any more, and left in a huff.

Indistinctly, I heard Gu Yong begging behind me, "Mother Feng, you borrowed money from me. We all know how much I owe you. You can't do this..."

Shaking his head, Gu Sixiao let out a foul breath, secretly lamenting that some people are hopeless.

What is owed will always be taken back. Living in this world, it is better not to owe others.

Gu Sixiao thought this way, wiped her body and went back to the Lin family's other business, and bumped into someone who came to her to collect debts.

Before entering the hall, he heard laughter, Gu Sixiao was still wondering what kind of guests came, and saw a familiar mother.

That's the mother next to Xue Wanting, the eldest daughter of the Xue family, right?I have seen it in Jinan before.

Before she could react, that mother Li had already saluted and said with a smile: "The little lady is back, our lady has been waiting for a long time."

Nodding her head, Gu Sixiao didn't respond, and stepped into the hall, only to see Lin Moniang talking and laughing with a woman in her thirties.

The woman had a round face and a plump figure. If she was a little thinner, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, she would be a beauty in her mind, but now she is a little fat, which seems too blessed.That's it, in the eyebrows and eyes, I can still find some familiar shadows, not like Xue Wanhua, but more like Xue Wanying.

Looking at this woman, Gu Sixiao was a little dazed.

And that Xue Wanting, who heard Li's mother's voice greeting her, knew that Gu Sixiao had come in, but still pretended not to know, just chatting and laughing with Lin Mo Niang, and didn't even look at Gu Sixiao.

On the other hand, Lin Mo Niang couldn't pretend, she greeted with a smile, "Hua'er, you're back. Look, your sister is here to see you."

At this time, Xue Wanting turned his head, looked up and down, and said calmly: "You are Gu Hua'er?"

"Yes," Gu Sixiao smiled calmly, gave a salute, and said softly, "I don't know if big sister is here, so I'm not far away to welcome you."

"I think it's a good thing you didn't know I was coming. If you knew I was coming, you wouldn't dare to come back."

Even in temperament, it is also similar to Xue Wanying. As soon as Xue Wanting opened his mouth, he had already pushed Gu Sixiao to the opposite side.

Leaning at her, he snorted: "I heard that you brought a servant out. Anyway, she is also a young lady of the Xue family, and she is a married woman. How can you be so unruly?"

As he spoke, he stared again, "What kind of clothes are you wearing? Where did you come from? When others saw it, they thought it was a little girl who came back from grocery shopping!"

Gu Sixiao lowered her head and looked at her body.

She has changed back to her women's clothes just now, and her hair has been combed again. She looks very good, except that she is not wearing gold or silver.

"My sister seems to have heard it too. Yes, I was a girl before, so I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes. I've been a girl for a long time, and I really don't like wearing gold and silver like a rich girl. I think that's vulgar!"

"Vulgar? It's nice to say, but you can't afford to wear it. If you can wear gold, will you wear wood?"

She stared at the wooden hairpin on Gu Sixiao's head and talked, then turned her head to seek Lin Moniang's approval, "Do you think so, Miss Lin..."

Before saying hello, she blinked her eyes.

Why is Lin Mo Niang also wearing a wooden hairpin on her head? !
It's hard to say anything next.She really wanted to make fun of Gu Sixiao for a while, but if she said anything about Muchai, she would offend Lin Mo Niang.She really didn't want to offend the future Mrs. Hou.

With a light cough, Xue Wanting said in a deep voice: "I have sent someone to invite you over to talk to me before, but no one has seen you..."

Gu Sixiao's heart moved, and she unconsciously looked at Lin Moniang. Although Lin Moniang looked normal, but no one told her that someone was here to invite her, so it should have nothing to do with her.

This kind of thing, I am afraid that ordinary servants will not dare to make random claims.

Seeing that Gu Sixiao didn't speak, Xue Wanting was even more angry, "I was thinking in my heart, I'm afraid that my white sister is afraid of me and dare not see me? I'm also impatient, since you dare not see me, Then I'll come and see you."

"My sister was joking. Why are my sisters afraid of seeing her? It's just that I have too many things these days and I don't have time to see my sister. I also said that someday I should visit my sister in person. Daddy and grandma have something to bring to my sister."

"Grandma brought me something?" Xue Wanting unconsciously straightened up, with a hint of joy on his face.

After realizing that there were too many traces, she coughed and said lightly: "I am grandma's granddaughter, so she naturally wants to bring me something. Even Daddy, he loves me the most when I am at home. If it weren't for me Betrothed since childhood, he is reluctant to let me marry far away and come to the capital!"

Staring at Gu Sixiao, she sneered and said, "If that's the case, I'll keep watch at home, so that they won't be deceived by villains, kill their lives, lose their property, and even have to be controlled by others..."

This was said so impolitely that she almost pointed at Gu Sixiao's nose and scolded her as a treacherous villain who murdered her for money.

Lin Mo Niang, who was listening by the side, felt unable to sit still, and wanted to lean away and walk away.

Gu Sixiao still said calmly: "My sister is right, if you were there at that time, Li Chongyang would not have succeeded. If he had exposed his conspiracy earlier, the second and third sisters would not have been killed by him. .”

Tried the corner of her eyes with her backhand, she said in a low voice: "I also said before that it would be great if the elder sister could return to Jinan to take care of things now. But grandma is afraid that she will disturb her life and miss her brother-in-law's future. Let me tell you, grandma It’s too much to worry about. Jinan is not a small place, even if my brother-in-law moved to Jinan, it’s not a bad thing! By the way, my brother-in-law is still working in the official department? I remember grandma said that he was just a junior steward from the seventh rank. From my point of view, what's the point of such a position as serving Master Jirun, living in the Qingshui Yamen? It's better to be transferred to Jinan!"

"What do you know?" When it came to her husband, Xue Wanting immediately became upset, "What is a junior official from the seventh rank? Don't think it's just from the seventh rank, but my official is working in the official department. What does the official department do? ?It is in charge of the promotion, appointment and dismissal of all officials in the Great Xia Dynasty. Regardless of how powerful they are outside, when they return to the capital and enter the Ministry of Officials, they have to be under the control of my family's officials. It is the fifth-rank magistrate, who met my family Officials have to nod and bow, do you understand?!"

"That's right!" Gu Sixiao nodded, as if she had been educated.

Seeing her admiring expression, Xue Wanting's waist straightened even more.

"Tell you that you don't understand, but I'll tell you clearly, my official is a big shot!"

That's right, the amazing Cong Qipin is in charge of all the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Gu Sixiao secretly laughed in her belly, but said with regret: "If brother-in-law doesn't want to move to Jinan, then sister can only go back to Jinan alone. Although the two places are separated, there are still people who want to take care of brother-in-law's house... ..."

"Nonsense! I can't do without me as an official? How do those bastards know how to serve him? If I don't cook for the official, he won't be able to eat well..."

"I mean brother-in-law's parents will take care of him—no other meaning..."

The last sentence added made Xue Wanting's face flushed with anger, "Stop talking nonsense, and I won't talk to you anymore. Anyway, I won't go back to Jinan. Grandma and Dad asked you to take What about the things that came? You give me the list, and I'll count it myself and leave."

"Sister, don't be in such a hurry. I'll ask someone to send it to you tomorrow. If you want to come, I don't want to make too much fanfare and let people know."

Gu Sixiao said it lightly, but Xue Wanting stopped it as if thinking of something.

Indeed, one should keep a low profile. The gifts that Xue's family brought to Beijing were not those ordinary local products, but white money.

It was Gu Sixiao who personally watched the packing, so how could he not be clear.

Xue Wanting married in Beijing, and being an official's wife seems to be beautiful, but behind the scenes, the Xue family paid more.

The expenses in Beijing are high, although Xue Wanting and his wife's family are petty officials, they have to go in and out for entertainment.

These years, if it wasn't for Xue Wanting's dowry, and Xue's family sending money to help from time to time, how could there be such a scene like it is now.

Xue Wanting cared so much about the Xue family's property because she was afraid that she would not be able to survive in Beijing if the money would be cut off.
