Chapter 638: Investigation From the Future Brother-in-Law
Pei Meng's nose twitched, sniffing the residual smell in the air.
"It smells quite familiar."
Pei Meng was puzzled, how could there be a familiar smell on Gu Ting's body.
eccentric!
He didn't think much about it, until he saw the purse with rough stitches in the drawer, and suddenly remembered why he felt familiar.
The smell left on Gu Ting's body was clearly the same as that of his sister Pei Man.
No wonder he felt familiar.
"Gu Ting, this general wants to kill you."
In the signing room, Pei Meng roared.
"General calm down!"
The soldiers swarmed in and stopped General Pei Meng Pei.
The soldiers are all the sons of the Pei family, and they are siblings with Pei Meng, and they don't have so many scruples when talking.
"General, don't be impulsive!"
"Yes, it's not easy for the third girl to fall in love with a man!"
"The humble job sees that General Gu is very suitable for the girl. As for the family background, there is Mrs. Chao, and the family background is not a problem."
"The girl is not young, and it's not easy to find a marriage. The general must exercise restraint, and don't delay the girl's future."
"Get out!" Pei Meng exerted force on his body, and all the soldiers were thrown away.
"Go, call the girl. This general will ask her personally. If Gu Ting treats her lightly, the left hand will be cut off lightly with the left hand, and the right hand will be cut off lightly with the right hand."
The general is the real murderer.
Should I report this matter to Lord Hou?
It's better to invite the girl first, and then we'll see what happens next.
How did Gu Ting know that the future brother-in-law has already begun to examine him in all aspects, even when he was seven years old, he would not let him pee his pants.
Mr. Gu was an official in Jinzhou back then, and hired many local women from Jinzhou to be servants.
In addition, Gu Ting has friends all over the place, and he has made friends with all kinds of religions and nine streams. After a little inquiry, he can find out a lot of things related to Gu Ting.
This is a later story,
Not for now.
...
In March in Beijing, the warm wind is like the sun.
People in the capital city who have been nesting for a winter, regardless of whether they are rich or small, all go out of their homes one after another, to the suburbs, to the banks of the Weishui River, to play and relax in any place with beautiful scenery.
Let the gloomy air accumulated in winter be exposed to the warm spring sun, and this year will be a smooth year.
Gu Jiu took the two children with her, invited her close friends, the Gu family sisters, and came to the bank of the Weishui River.
Today happens to be the Shangsi Festival.
Unmarried men and women are extra bold and excited.
Girls, their cheeks were flushed with excitement. Pointing to the sons and daughters by the stream, whispering.
Whose family son looks like, today, you can watch it to your heart's content, and no one criticizes it.
This is the happiest festival of the year for girls.
Gu Jiu said to Gu Mei, "Among the sisters, even the youngest sister, Gu Jun, has talked about their marriage. There are no sisters who are not engaged yet."
Gu Mei nodded and said yes, "I think back then, when sister Xiaojiu just came back from the Northwest, even I had just made a marriage. In a blink of an eye, we were all grown up and we were already the mother of the child. Sister Xiaojiu also had two child."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Mei is the mother of three children."
Gu Mei looked at the children playing in the distance, her eyes were full of happiness, "Now I have a child and everything is enough. As long as the interests of me and the children are not endangered, I don't bother to ask."
"Sister Mei understands life. It's just that some people don't understand so well."
Gu Mei knew very well that the person Gu Jiu was talking about was Gu Qi.
Gu Qi took the initiative to take concubines for her husband, which earned her a virtuous reputation.
She pleases her husband and in-laws, but she doesn't know that concubines and aunts will endanger her own interests, and concubines and concubines will divide the interests of the children.
For the sake of a virtuous reputation, it is really not worthwhile to wrong yourself so much.
Gu Jiu whispered: "I saw Sister Qi today, she looks ten years older, her eyes are very haggard. Why should she do this?"
Gu Mei also lowered her voice, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't gossip about my elders. The reason why sister Qi is like this is because the second aunt taught her well.
According to the rules of the Hou Mansion, before the birth of a son-in-law, he will not take the initiative to arrange concubines for the men. I heard that when the second aunt entered the house for two years, there was no movement in her stomach. Grandma was not dissatisfied, and told her to relax.
As a result, she went back to her mother's house, brought back two beautiful concubines, and took the initiative to take the concubine's room for her second uncle. After the third brother was born, she stopped for a few years. "
Gu Jiu understood, "No wonder! I said that our daughters of the Gu family are all strong-willed people who don't want to be wronged easily. Why are they so weak when they come to Sister Qi? It turns out that it is due to the teaching of the second aunt.
Sister Qi is the second wife of the Hou Mansion. She has a prominent family background and a generous dowry. She is full of confidence when she marries into her husband's family. I can't figure out why she wronged herself like this. Really boring. "
As a result, Gu Jiu was not willing to play with Gu Qi. The three perspectives are different, and there is no one place to say.
Meet and go out to play with the sisters, and bring a pair of concubines, sons and daughters, what's wrong!
Gu Jiu made up her mind, except for the necessary banquets, she would not bother to attend Gu Qi's banquets in the future, so as not to affect her appetite.
Gu Mei sighed softly, "When we were at her mother's house, sister Qi only had a bad mouth in front of us, but when she really saw the truth, there was nothing she could do about it."
"Sharp and soft on the inside, strong on the outside but hard on the inside!" Gu Jiu hit the nail on the head.
Gu Mei smiled, "Let's not talk about her. Your Highness is still locked up in Zongzheng Temple, aren't you worried?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "It's not the first time he's been to Guan Zongzheng Temple, he's been a regular visitor there for a long time, so there's nothing to worry about."
"You are very generous."
"In the current situation, I can't do it if I don't feel lenient. He is not around, and I take my two children with me. I can't be sad every day and make the two children worry about it."
Gu Mei looked at the two brothers, brother Yu and Heng.
"Brother Yu is really a good brother. Unlike the one in my family, he is like a savage, running wild as soon as he goes out. How would he know how to take care of his brother?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "Brother Yu is introverted, so he seems quiet. Your kid has an outgoing personality. Look, it didn't take long for him to get along with other kids."
Gu Mei laughed, "You brat, you've soiled your clothes again. I've prepared ten sets of clothes for him when he's going out today, and let him toss about as he pleases."
"It's rare to go out and relax, as it should be!"
Gu Shan brought the child over, "Second Sister, Sister Mei, why don't you go play."
Gu Mei said exaggeratedly: "I'm old, I can't play anymore."
After speaking, she laughed to herself first.
Gu Shan sat down, "Let me tell you a joke, Brother Hu from the eldest sister's family, someone actually wants to propose marriage to the child. Brother Hu is only a little older, and someone will miss him."
Gu Jiu was taken aback, "Big sister didn't agree."
Gu Shan waved her hands again and again, "I can't easily agree to this kind of thing. The little girl who got married is still a yellow-haired girl, so I can't tell whether it's good or bad. Naturally, I declined, saying that the child is too young to get married too early."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Big Sister did the right thing, she really shouldn't set the child's lifelong affairs too early."
She thought, brother Yu was under eighteen years old, she didn't even bother to ask about the child's love life. If you're under twenty, don't talk about marriage.
Gu Shan stretched her waist, "Before my daughter Ji Ji, she would never be engaged."
Gu Mei covered her lips and smiled, "The child is so young, sister Shan is already thinking about what will happen more than ten years later, shouldn't she be too anxious?"
Gu Shan said: "Sister Mei doesn't know something. I just suffered from not being valued by my mother, so I hope that my daughter can be taken seriously since she was a child. Sister Mei doesn't know, I have already started saving my daughter's dowry. When she reaches the age of Ji When the time comes, I will be able to save a generous dowry."
"Sister Shan is a good mother." Gu Mei said with certainty.
Gu Shan smiled and said: "I just don't want to let my child suffer again. I gave birth to her, and I will do my best to give her the best. I will also try my best to serve her well. "
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Shan with a smile.
From the very beginning, she knew that Gu Shan was a very thoughtful person.
Later, being stimulated by Gu Yue's act of setting fire to kill people, his temper became a little bit left, and his speech was inevitably a bit weird.
But now that she has a child and is a mother, Gu Jiu feels that Gu Shan has returned to her original appearance, calm, peaceful, and thinking deeply.
Such Gu Shan looks very cute.
"Compared to Sister Shan, I'm not competent at all. I never thought of saving my daughter's dowry from now on. I have been thinking, is it too late to start saving for her dowry when my daughter is ten years old?" A little bit." Gu Mei was a little flustered.
It was very profitable at first, but when she compared with Gu Shan, she panicked. There is always a feeling of delaying my daughter.
Gu Shan hurriedly comforted her: "Sister Mei, don't worry. Like cloth and jewelry, it's not too late to prepare after the child is engaged. These are all about novelty.
In addition, the wood must be prepared in advance. It's not easy to collect high-quality wood these days. If you don't make a plan early, it may be too late to find good wood for furniture.
There are also jewels and jade, which must be collected as soon as possible, because they are afraid that it will be too late. All in all, when I encounter good things on weekdays, I save them for my children. Save for ten or eight years, there will always be a time when it will come in handy. "
Gu Mei deeply agreed, "Sister Shan is right, wood and jewelry should be saved up early, and you can't just cram."
When Gu Jiu heard this, he laughed, "If you want to save wood, come to me. I know someone who specializes in the wood business, and the business is huge. Tell him what wood you want, and he will definitely be able to help you Get it."
"Really? That's great. Second sister, when you go back, can you introduce that person to me?"
"Fourth sister, don't worry, I will send someone to your house tomorrow to introduce that person to you."
"Sister Xiaojiu, don't forget me."
"I will never forget it! Any sister who needs wood can come to me, and I will be responsible for introducing it for you."
