The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 60 Awakening Ambition

After sleeping at night, Gu Huaishu still didn't find out why.

He was very tight-lipped, but he didn't tell the truth, even all kinds of shameless rhetoric came out, but he just didn't say it.

"There has never been a man who can please all the women and get along happily without making them hate each other. Women are also terrible, so you are enough for such a terrible woman."

Gu Huaishu knew the meaning of Zhang Tingyu's words, and her heartbeat stopped slightly, but she just pretended not to hear: "Your elder brother must not have said this to you."

If you can't ask, Gu Huaishu knew this was the result, he was stuck in his heart all night, and when he woke up the next morning, he still completely forgot about it.

Chang'an disappeared all of a sudden, and the mansion has been buzzing recently. Few people know how Chang'an disappeared. Anyway, such a living person disappeared, and no one dared to ask.

Who knows what the masters think?

A while ago, she was helping the young mistress manage the affairs of the house, but now she disappears as soon as she says she disappears.

Whether they died or were sold out, only a few people knew in their hearts.

But in the end, no one dared to say.

Gu Huaishu didn't say a word, Qing Dai became more and more calm after entering Zhang's residence.

Gu Huaishu here just acts as if he doesn't know what to do, everything remains the same.

After showing it to Mrs. Chen, Shangguanyuan has already made the conclusion that medicine and stones are hopeless. How long he can live depends on luck. If he takes good care of himself, he may have two or three years or three to five years, or he may come together someday. It looked like people were gone.

Aunt Feng woke up and asked everyone around her, but she didn't ask about Chang'an's whereabouts. She was frightened into a fool within a single night, and was locked in the house all day and couldn't go out.

Wu seems to have finally realized who it is that has been by her side for so many years, but after all, she has trusted Chang'an for so long, and she can't slow down.As a result, Mrs. Wu also fell ill. Although there were many maids and wives around her, there was only Wang Fushun's family who could speak.However, every time I see Wang Fushun's family, I still think of my old friend.

It's not even noon today, when Gu Huaishu saw someone coming from the courtyard.

Seeing the one who came at the head, Gu Huaishu was a little dazed.

Isn't this Wang Fushun's family?
"Qing Dai, go and open the window, I'll take a look."

"what?"

Qing Dai was startled, what does this mean?
Gu Huaishu looked at the sun outside, and only frowned: "The sun hasn't come out from the west..."

The only one available to the old lady is Wang Fushun's family. Why is Wang Fushun's family here today?
She was still puzzled, but she didn't expect that although Wang Fushun's face was covered with plaster, their attitude was unprecedentedly respectful.

"The old slave greets the second young lady, and the old lady sends the old slave here, and entrusts the second young lady to take care of all the accounts and money of the house."

Gu Huaishu almost spit out a mouthful of tea: Mrs. Wu is not out of his mind, is he?

No, she is sick now, but this matter...

Is it crazy to give up the power of the head of the house for no reason?
Gu Huaishu only thought it was incredible, but after thinking about it, this was actually a helpless move.

It is impossible for Zhang Tingzan now to hand things over to Mrs. Chen. It is unknown how long such an exquisite person can live, and he cannot bear the fatigue at all.

Originally, the Chen family handled the affairs here with the help of Chang'an, but now Chang'an committed suicide by Zhang Tingzan, and the old lady in the mansion is also sick. Isn't Gu Huaishu the only one left in the backyard?

only……

According to Wu's dislike for Erfang, how could he make such a concession?

Gu Huaixiu couldn't help but wonder whose idea it was.

She didn't speak for a while, and didn't respond, and invited Wang Fushun's family to come in.

Gu Huaixiu smiled and said: "Yesterday's situation was special, and I bumped into my mother unintentionally. I hope you don't mind. Huaixiu will pour tea for you and make amends."

Her smile scared Wang Fushun's family quite a lot. She couldn't bear the Second Young Mistress calling her "Mom", she lowered her head tremblingly: "Second Young Mistress, you are being polite. The old slave was ignorant yesterday, yes The old slave ran into the Second Young Mistress, and I hope that the Second Young Mistress doesn't mind."

At this moment, it is acquainted.

As the saying goes, Feng Shui turns around, and it will come to my house this year.

I'm afraid she didn't think of it before the old lady asked her to come, right?
However, Gu Huaixiu really didn't want to trouble Wang Fushun's family.

The situation is different now, it can be seen that things are going to be piled up on the second room, and before Xiao Chen enters the door, this house has to be held in Gu Huaixiu's hands.If she wants to trouble Wang Fushun's family, she can do anything.But now, it is more important for Gu Huaishu to ask about the situation.

At the critical moment, it is still necessary to be clear.

She asked someone to pour a cup of tea for Wang Fushun's family, and said: "It happened so suddenly today, mother should sit down and talk about it carefully, otherwise Huaixiu will have no confidence in her heart."

Wang Fushun's family also knew this truth.

After the incident last night, the old lady seemed to have aged a lot, and she was talking in her sleep all night without knowing what to say.

The doctor looked at it and said that his mind was touched, and he was afraid that he would not be able to recover for a while.

Besides, even if she recovers, Zhang Ying doesn't necessarily agree with her continuing to manage the house.

Such a muddleheaded old lady, she's just passed her days in a muddleheaded way. Anyway, there's nothing important at home, and they've lived in peace for so many years.But now that Zhang Ying's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and even his eldest son has already entered the official career, problems have gradually emerged.

Apart from Zhang Ying, Zhang Tingzan would probably be the first to refuse if the old lady was to continue to be the housekeeper.

Gu Huaishu would not believe that there is no barrier between the mother and son.

Wang Fushun's family almost talked about the situation at the old lady's side, which also made Gu Huaishu feel at ease.

Now these ledgers are brought over by Mrs. Wu, and the big house didn't say a word, but Ting Lan, the maid in charge, came over, handed over the ledgers, and brought a word from the uncle. For these things in the government, let the books be taken back.

The old lady could only sigh and was stunned for a long time before someone brought the ledger over.

She said again: "...So, the old lady asked the old slave to bring you something, saying that the second young lady is actually a safe person, and the affairs of this family will depend on you in the future. The old lady still Having said that, you have been in the house for many days, and you were really busy with things a few days ago, and you couldn't get away, and the old lady has a bad memory, so she even forgot the meeting gift for her daughter-in-law."

With that said, Wang Fushun's family turned around and took out a brocade box, and held it to Gu Huaishu.

"This pair of Hetian white jade bracelets were made together a few years ago when the young lady was about to enter the house. The old lady said, the four masters in the house , so there are four pairs of bracelets, and the daughter-in-law will give one pair when she enters the door. This is your pair, Second Young Mistress."

Gu Huaishu took the brocade box, feeling ironic in his heart.

What are you doing so early?
Even if the meeting gift for the daughter-in-law can be suppressed, how much did Wu shi dislike herself in the first place?

Now that I gave this jade bracelet to her, it may not necessarily mean that I like myself, but she is wrong too much, so it is not easy to express it.What's more, now in the mansion, there is no one to be the housekeeper except Gu Huaishu.

Even if you want to make an attitude towards the outside world, you have to give the bracelet.

Opening the brocade box, it turned out to be a pair of beautiful white jade bracelets.

Gu Huaixiu held it in his hand and looked through it. The smile on his face didn't diminish, but it wasn't strong either.

She seemed to like this bracelet very much, and said with a smile: "This bracelet is really beautiful. You can go back later and thank mother-in-law for me. I like this bracelet very much."

He said he liked it, but he didn't put it on his hands at all, and he didn't see anything else on Gu Huaisu's hands.

Isn't this attitude obvious enough?
On the surface, you want to be kind and friendly, no problem, she will give it; you want her to behave well, continue to be a filial daughter-in-law in the future, suffer from anger, and dream!

In a word, as long as Mrs. Wu doesn't bother, Gu Huaixiu will save face for her.

Everyone in the mansion can live in face, that is everyone's happiness, everyone feels good.

But if...

Gu Huaishu sneered inwardly, but saw that Wang Fushun's family had already got up.

Wang Fushun's family saw Gu Huaixiu's attitude in their eyes, and wondered how to tell the old lady when they went back.

Mrs. Wu asked her to deliver things in person to deliver the account book, just to tell her to see Gu Huaishu's attitude. It is obvious that the second young lady has a deep heart, and she is not a soft persimmon. She splashed it when she should, but now she looks dignified and polite. , that every move is really half wrong and I can't find out.

It's amazing for a human being to do this.

Turning faces is better than turning pages.

Wang Fushun's family sighed secretly, bowed and said: "The old lady is not well, and the old slave has to go back to serve. If the second young lady doesn't know anything about the affairs of this house, feel free to send someone to the old lady. Or ask the big room. If you are short of manpower, feel free to ask."

"If it's really missing, I'll ask someone to tell you."

Gu Huaishu didn't reject it outright, she was actually still thinking about it.

Whether it is good or bad is not something that can be figured out in a short while.

What happened yesterday seemed to be over, but in fact... just one hair will move the whole body.

What could be born in Aunt Feng's stomach?How long can the Chen family live?It's all unknown.

Gu Huaishu saw off Wang Fushun's family here, and Qingdai frowned when she came back: "Why did all these things suddenly fall into your hands?"

The second room has always been a place without any sense of existence in the mansion, except for the lively scene when Gu Huaishu entered the door, who remembers it?

The time when Huanhua was punished was also caused by the cook.

Most people didn't pay attention to the second room, after all, it was the old lady who hated it.

Misfortunes can happen, the eldest and youngest mistress quit the job, or she can't do it, and the Wu family can't do it even if she wants to. The situation in the whole mansion has pushed the second room to the cusp.

Gu Huaishu, just like this, after the Wu family who has been in charge of the Zhang family for more than 20 years, and the Chen family who has only managed the Zhang family for a few days, he gently held the account books of the Zhang family.

In terms of plan, these ledgers are not thick, and there are some dealings, which are all recorded in the book, and the matching cards of the errands in the house are also sent over.

Gu Huaishu fumbled for the ledger, and then picked up Zhang's family's pair of cards, a pair of thin ones, holding it in his hand is really like holding a lottery.

But this represents the power of the master.

Standing aside, Qing Dai looked at Gu Huaishu holding the pair of cards, "Young Mistress, do you really want to..."

"Why not?"

Gu Huaishu threw the pair of cards into the air, and held them firmly in his hands, with an extremely leisurely posture.

Qing Dai was stunned.

Her master's answer was something she never expected.

Why not?
But why do you want it again?

Gu Huaishu is a lazy person at all, it seems that these things are not her responsibility.

Only Gu Huaishu knew that the moment the pair of cards were delivered to him, the balance of the entire Zhang family also began to tilt.

I don't know what the Second Young Master Zhang in the study would think when he heard the news.

Perhaps, except for Gu Huaishu, no one else has such an idea.

Zhang Tingyu's here is only the second bedroom.

In the eyes of everyone, it is still up to the big house in the future, and this pair of cards is only temporarily in Gu Huaishu's hands.

Too many people think this way...

Gu Huaishu squinted, and gently placed the pair of cards on the table.

She didn't know, at least not until she got this pair of cards, that she was also an ambitious person.

Who in the world has no ambition?
It's just that some people are smaller and some are bigger.

Gu Huaishu lived a more real life, and she clearly realized what was coming out of her heart at that moment.

While enjoying ambition, he was also secretly vigilant not to be blinded by it.

Gu Huaishu said: "Go back and prepare some supplements, show it to the doctor first, and then send it to the Dafang. We will go to the Dafang to look at it later."

Qing Dai nodded.

Gu Huaixiu asked people to clean up all the things thrown by the old lady. When she came across the pair of bracelets, Qing Dai hesitated: "Young Mistress, this..."

"Throw it under the box and don't let me see it."

Eccentric old lady, what kind of sincerity is giving a bracelet.

If it's for the daughter-in-law, it's for the daughter-in-law, but Wang Fushun's family should say that it should be a meeting gift, and even if Gu Huaishu is as broad-minded as the sea, she will respond to it.

Anyway, everyone is so hypocritical, perfunctory and perfunctory is a big family.

Qing Dai packed the bracelet into the bottom compartment of the dowry, and when she put it in, she was thinking that she might not be able to take it out again after going in.

Young Mistress has this temper.

For those who have made trouble, she will remember you from the bottom of her heart, even if you come later to add to the cake, she will still remember the knife you gave her in the past.

It's actually easy to get close to someone like Gu Huaixiu, and she will always remember this kindness if it's a timely gift.

It's a pity, how many people are sending charcoal in the snow this day?

Qingdai thinks a lot, and feels that she has to think so much as a maid?No, she turned around and poured tea for Gu Huaixiu, but she heard Gu Huaixiu say: "I remember that you and Qingxi both learned to read the ledger, and you also learned to be a housekeeper. There are still many things to do in the future, the more secure the better."

Qing Dai laughed out loud: "This little maidservant will become a big maid in this house in the future, that's amazing. But..."

"Ok?"

Gu Huaixiu didn't expect that Qing Dai had a heart, and her speech was hesitant. "have what?"

Qing Dai said: "My maidservant always thinks that the old lady is not someone who will turn back after such an experience, you listen to what Wang Fushun's family said, it is very perfunctory, that is to say, it can be passed on face, but it is really ugly on the inside. According to the servant girl's idea... In March of next year, Miss Chen, the elder sister's cousin, is going to marry in, and I'm afraid there will be troubles."

Even a maid like Qing Dai knows Wu's eccentricity, so what else can she say?
There is no one in the house who can use it, Gu Huai is a talented person?up.

They might think that Gu Huaixiu is that?Wait for a while, wait for the right person to come, and then ask Gu Huaishu to hand over the power.

But Gu Huaixiu is not someone who can be manipulated by anyone.

She said softly: "Your young mistress, I belong to Pixiu."

next year?

When Miss Chen enters the door next year, Gu Huaishu has already swallowed this cup of soup. Do you want her to share it out?
Hehe, dreams come faster.

Qing Dai was amused by Gu Huaixiu, and was about to pick up a joke, but she didn't expect a blessing from outside: "Young Mistress, Qi Yunzhai's embroiderer said that the clothes she made for you last time are here."

When did she make clothes?

Gu Huaixiu frowned, why is that evil star master still haunted?
