Chapter 650 Jealousy

"What did you say? That brat Gu Ting wants to marry Lu Hou's daughter?"

Xie Shi looked terrified.

She shook her head again and again, "No, it's impossible. Absolutely impossible. That kid Gu Ting, who is ignorant and incompetent, can still marry Lu Hou's daughter. Is there any justice in this world?"

Xie's expression changed as if he had suffered a serious injury.

Gu Teng said solemnly: "This matter is absolutely true. The second younger sister came back today to discuss the matter of being hired by the Luhou Mansion. The second younger sister has already invited the Shaofu's family order to be a matchmaker, and this matter can be false."

"You actually asked the Shaofu family order to be a matchmaker?" Xie was hit hard again.

She clutched her chest, "What kind of luck did the two brothers and sisters have? One is married to the prince, and the other is going to marry Luhou's daughter. Didn't God open his eyes?"

"Madam, be careful! The elder brother and the second younger sister are both members of the Gu family, and their goodness is equal to the goodness of the Gu family."

"Are you stupid?" Mrs. Xie pointed at Gu Teng's head, "Are you stupid in studying? I won't talk about Gu Jiu, after all, she is a married woman. If Gu Teng married Luhou's daughter, What good can you do? At that time, he will come back to grab your property! You foolish boy."

Gu Teng laughed, and looked around, "Family property? How much property does mother think father saved for our brothers?"

Xie was speechless.

How did she know about this. She has been homeless for many years, and even if she is a housekeeper, she only cares about internal affairs, regardless of the outside property.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Mrs. Xie didn't know how much family property Mr. Gu had accumulated.

Gu Teng said softly: "No matter how much the father has saved, the son only needs his share. I will not miss my brother's share."

Because he married a good wife. Hu's investment is good, relying on Gu Jiu, the couple has also accumulated a lot of property over the years.

Xie gnashed her teeth, "Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?"

Gu Teng said solemnly: "Mother, your request and worry are very unreasonable. The elder brother married Lu Hou's daughter. He is a martial artist, and I am a literary student. It stands to reason that our brothers are one literary and one military, and it is best to support each other.

Why does the mother have to let the son treat the eldest brother as an enemy? In the mother's eyes, the eldest brother is the child of the original wife. In the eyes of my son, he is my blood brother. He is not a greedy person, and his son will naturally not be a villain.

I don't believe it, we two brothers support each other,

Can't save a family business that is twice as big as it is now? Is it necessary to rely on the little property saved by his father? "

Mrs. Xie scolded, "You know what! Do you think it's easy to build up a family business and talk about it? If it's really simple, how many families and generations of people can't save a decent family business? You can see how difficult it is.

Your father has been an official for decades to have such a small family fortune, and you actually want to give it up to others. You are deliberately mad at me, I might as well die now. "

Gu Cheng frowned, "My son didn't want to give it up to others. I want the share that is mine. I will not take the share that is not mine."

"You are a fool. You are an official now, you are an official! If you are willing to put in some effort, you will naturally be able to share more when the family is divided. What is robbing? This is to divide the family based on ability, do you understand?"

Gu Teng laughed, "Is the mother underestimating the second sister? Will she just sit back and watch the elder brother suffer?"

Xie's face froze, thinking of Gu Jiu's ferocity, he panicked.

Gu Teng continued: "Maybe my mother forgot that my eldest brother is now a military general of the fourth rank. If my son can run the business, wouldn't he know how to run it? Can't the elders of the clan tell which is more important?

Mother, your vision is too short-sighted, why do you only focus on the little family property that your father saved? Compared with the family business accumulated by his father, a clear future is more important.

Supporting each other with my elder brother is what I should do. In the future, I don't want to hear words like treating my elder brother as an enemy. If my mother really thinks about me, please think twice before speaking, and don't say those words that offend others. "

Xie's cheeks twitched, "Do you dislike me for dragging you down?"

Gu Cheng secretly sighed, why is it always so tiring to talk to my mother. Every time, she couldn't understand what she said, and always had to misinterpret what she said.

so tired!

Gu Cheng rubbed his eyebrows.

Since you don't understand, then you don't need to talk about those big truths.

Gu Teng said directly: "In a few days, our family will formally meet with the Luhou Mansion. At that time, please speak well, mother, and don't offend anyone or make them laugh at you."

"Are you ashamed of me?"

"The son doesn't dare to be ashamed of his mother. The son is worried that the second sister thinks you are ashamed."

Xie's face froze, "What are you talking about her for? Gu's family is married to Luhou's mansion, it's none of her business."

Gu Teng laughed, "The eldest brother is engaged, and the second sister will handle the whole process. When the two families meet, she will also come forward. So, mother, don't let the second sister take advantage of it."

Gu Teng suddenly realized that his own words didn't work, and his mother seemed to never understand. But as long as Gu Jiu is sacrificed to this great Buddha, mother will understand everything.

Xie's complexion changed again and again, and he scolded angrily, "Ridiculous!"

"What did mother say?"

Mrs. Xie snorted, "I said Marquis Lu is ridiculous! What did Marquis Lu think, that he wanted to betroth his daughter to Gu Ting, that kid Gu Ting is ignorant, what's the point?"

"Okay, Lu Hou will judge for himself. Mother doesn't have to worry about it. My son has an appointment with a classmate. The time is coming, so my son will leave first."

Gu Cheng stopped talking nonsense and left in a hurry.

Xie's heart was extremely unhappy.

Everyone in the Su family has died for decades, and the Su family has also fallen. It stands to reason that the two children left by the Su family will not have a good future in this life.

Hell!

One married the prince, and the other married Luhou's daughter.

Why didn't her son and daughter have such a good marriage?

How unreasonable!

Compared with Lu Hou's daughter, Hu's family background is not enough.

Mrs. Xie wanted to trouble Mrs. Hu, "Go, call the young mistress."

"Reporting to Madam, the young mistress accompanied the second aunt to the Grand Master's Mansion, and will go to the Hou Mansion later. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while."

Mrs. Xie was very angry, "She wasn't there when I was looking for her. When I wasn't looking for her, she dangled in front of my eyes every day."

Sure enough, he was a disgusting person.

It doesn't count if she took away her housekeeping rights, but also led her son away, telling Gu Teng to be divorced from her.

Such a daughter-in-law should be beaten to death with a stick.

But Mrs. Xie didn't want to think about it. When she was a daughter-in-law, she was like this.

...

Gu Jiu asked the Shaofu family order to be a matchmaker, and the Shaofu family order readily agreed.

After choosing an auspicious day, I went to Luhou Mansion.

It wasn't until this time that the news that the Gu family was going to be engaged to the Marquis of Lu's mansion came out.

puff!

Empress Pei just drank the tea in her mouth and sprayed it out.

She looked shocked, "What is Hou Ye doing? He betrothed Pei Man to the boss of the Gu family? What's the name of the boss of the Gu family?"

"Have you forgotten, my lord? General Gu's name is Gu Ting, he is the elder brother of Mrs. Zhao's mother and compatriots. He even went to the palace to have a banquet before."

Empress Pei rubbed her eyebrows, "I don't remember!"

She really didn't pay much attention to Gu Jiu's brother. She didn't even pay much attention to Master Gu and Mrs. Xie.

Although they are in-laws, there are also relatives and estrangements.

Empress Pei was very irritable and frustrated.

"Master Hou knew that Bengong was trying to marry Pei Man and help her meet young talents, but he betrothed Pei Man to a soldier. What does Master Hou mean by this? Could it be that he is dissatisfied with Bengong? Why don't you go to the wedding that Bengong looks on for Pei Man?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Eunuch Wen hastily tried to persuade him, "Your Majesty's move has deep meaning!"

"What's the meaning?" Empress Pei stared at Eunuch Wen.

Eunuch Wen pondered for a while before he said: "Little General Gu is Mrs. Zhao's elder brother. Mrs. Zhao's family has a great career. Even if His Majesty is short of money, she will ask her for advice. Although the family background of the Gu family is not obvious, but Mrs. Zhao is here, and Mrs. Zhao is here. The young general has a promising future, and he will not be any worse than the children of other aristocratic families.

Secondly, I heard that General Gu was on duty in the Sirius Army, which was directly led by General Pei Meng. Lord Hou and General Pei knew little General Gu well, so there was no need to worry that he would be a fool. Miss Pei will definitely not be wronged if she marries in the past. and……"

At the end, Eunuch Wen began to hesitate to speak again.

Empress Pei glared at him, "And what?"

Eunuch Wen lowered his voice, "This old slave has the guts to make a guess, and my lady just listen. Your Majesty and the late emperor are different after all. The situation of Lord Hou may not be as good as it seems. Lord Hou also needs help. But he is the leader of the army. It is a taboo to make friends with courtiers. But if you make friends with Mrs. Zhao, the situation is different."

Empress Pei frowned, "You mean, Lord Hou plans to make friends with the eldest daughter-in-law?"

"This old slave is just guessing, maybe Lord Hou doesn't think so."

Empress Pei frowned tightly, unable to relax.

"I haven't been out of the palace for many years, and now I don't know what the capital looks like."

"The biggest change in the capital is that the pavement is paved with cement, which is very smooth. The streets are more lively than before, and there are more tourists."

Empress Pei stared at him, "All of this has something to do with the eldest daughter-in-law, right! Cement, tourist tax, everything is done by the eldest daughter-in-law. No wonder the other daughter-in-laws in this palace are a little afraid of her."

Mr. Wen watched his nose, his nose, and his heart, and said nothing.

Empress Pei snorted coldly, "A woman with such great influence, what exactly does she want to do?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty also supports my wife's order to make money."

"I know."

Just because I knew it, I was even more annoyed.

Because, Gu Jiu did what she couldn't do, and gained influence that she couldn't.

It was the first time that Empress Pei discovered that she was actually jealous of her daughter-in-law!
