Chapter 148: After Having a Wife and Son, They Take a Backseat
Madam Gu was straightforward and said, "Since Yuan'er is so sure, I will stay in the Marquis' Mansion. If I go to the manor, if I get infected, it will be troublesome."
After all, no one knows what Zhao and others have done.
Gu Jinghui knelt in front of Madam Gu’s knees and placed his head on his mother’s knees, just like when he was a child.
Aunt Rong couldn't help but wipe her eyes.
Madam Gu stroked her son's head and said, "Brother Hui, I never thought I would find such a good wife for you. She is smart and capable, has read so many books, and is very sensible."
Gu Jinghui responded softly.
Madam Gu added, "Sixth son always complains that his wife is not to his liking. At the beginning, Madam Wen saw that the Xu family could give birth, and I was also worried that the Gu family's bloodline would be cut off, so I agreed to this marriage. He is not living a comfortable life, so you must be nicer to him in the future."
Gu Jinghui's eyes turned red, and he said softly, "I know."
"You are almost thirty and still don't have a child. Mother really wants to see you and Yuan'er's child sooner. You two are so good-looking, and the child must be very good-looking too."
Gu Jinghui chuckled when he heard this and said, “Mom, are you saying this because you’re scared?”
……
"Why are you being hunted?"
Hongye Shinobu stopped and advised.
My mother had scolded me before because of Zhao's mother and son, but she knew it was more often than not. When she was no longer angry, she would beat me with a stick. But that time, she didn't say a single harsh word to me, and she also mentioned how to deal with the two children.
Cui Ming said, "You know, he went to get a cup of tea."
"Have they checked the movements of the various princes' palaces?"
"That old fellow is always trying to please people. Qiuju, quickly find those two strings of coral and gold beads you have. The red and gold are perfect for Yuan'er to wear. Your skin is fair and tender, and they will look great against her."
Hongye: "..."
Cui Ming said: "He is not as good as me. The early bird catches the worm. He learns quickly. It's better to spend less time on him."
Madam Gu did not admit it.
"what happened?"
No matter how handsome I was at this moment, I looked like an elegant and handsome young man from a noble family.
The Eighth Madam was locked outside the yard. It would take at most ten days or half a month for her to get out.
Hongye immediately became unhappy again and said, "What kind of needlework does he need? Can't he just hand it over to the needlework room?"
"What are you afraid of? I've lived a very comfortable life. It's all worth it."
Gu Jinghui couldn't help but pause.
After leaving the servant's room and walking around the rockery, Gu Jinghui ran into Gu Shiba who was hurriedly looking for me.
"Make two bibs. Eight bibs per person should be enough to change."
Hongye asked, "The Xu family has caused such a commotion, I'm afraid the Eighth Madam will have the nerve to compete with the eldest sister for the household expenses. Why is the eldest sister still taking her time to settle the accounts?"
When Gu Jinghui walked out of the door, he heard my mother happily saying, "Brother Hui is actually acting like a spoiled child. Hey, I'm so young, but I can still act like a spoiled child. It's a pity that I married a bad wife. I can call my mother and act like a spoiled child now. How can I be the hot-faced killer I will be in the future?"
Gu Jinghui's bad mood disappeared completely.
Cui Ming put down the account book in her hand, took the tea, took a few sips, and said leisurely: "You really should take a break. He has only been learning to do the accounting for a few days. Let him do the accounting in the front of the account book."
Gu Shiba shook his head. "This woman is very tight-lipped. She fainted after I told her those things. I'm afraid I'll have to get rid of the rest bit by bit."
Song Shuyuan responded in a muffled voice, then stood up and complained, "Mom, no matter how young I am, am I still a child when I am with you?"
Madam Gu slapped me and said angrily, "Hurry up and get up. You are still acting like a spoiled child even though you are still young."
The whole thing was getting more and more suspicious. I smelled a strange conspiracy. In an instant, Gu Jinghui was like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and bloodthirsty.
Hongye put down the fan and hurried to pour tea.
Cui Ming had an abacus on her right hand and pen and paper on her left hand, and was counting the account book that the Eighth Madam had brought her.
Why take it so slow?
Gu Jinghui said, “I know that mother insisted on staying in the Marquis’ Mansion for my sake. Mother, don’t worry. Yuan’er is smart and intelligent, and good at making decisions. Look how well she has managed the Marquis’ Mansion in the past two days. The mansion is now in disarray, and it’s all thanks to you. Once this matter is settled, you and Yuan’er will have a baby, and give it to mother to hold.”
"We have visited the residences of Prince Jin and Prince Tushan, and have discovered something. However, Prince Qi's residence... does not seem strange at all."
Madam Gu's eyes were slightly red, and she said in a serious voice: "Brother Hui, what I am most worried about is not him. He has been striving for honor since he was a child, but no one wants him to guard the northern frontier. If something happened to the Gu family, he would have married and had children long ago. In order to win honor for the Gu family, he has guarded the northern frontier for so many years. Mother knows that he rarely puts his mind on things outside. Brother Hui, he and Yuan'er are living a bad life, and he is a bad old man. If you pass on the Dingbei Marquis Mansion steadily, mother will be unhappy."
"Big sister, take a rest first. It will take some time."
Gu Shiba said, "This woman said that the reason you hid under Master Ba's car to return home was because you were being chased and you had no other choice. You happened to see Master Ba's car parked at the side street, so you took advantage of someone noticing and hid under the car."
Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing.
Song Shu was doing needlework with her neck lowered.
Hongye is fanning you vigorously on the side.
Gu Jinghui's body did not tremble at all.
Gu Jinghui shook his head heavily, his face full of doting at the moment, and he said to himself: "Mother is really, she loves you so much, and if you lose your wife, your son will take the lead."
Then Rong Mama said, "Seeing the old lady's appearance, this old servant knows what it means to be overjoyed. The Marquis and the Madam are in love, and the old lady will not be able to hold her grandson anytime soon."
Cui Ming said, "You want to find out how much money the Eighth Madam embezzled."
Gu Jinghui couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, his handsome face was covered with a layer of gentleness and haziness.
Madam Gu said, "Let him go and do his work. Don't delay him outside your place. Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er are both very bad. If he gets into trouble, come see us next time. You will tell us everything we need to say."
"explain."
Gu Jinghui took out the scent bag from his sleeve, put it to his nose and sniffed it again. It was the scent my first wife had prepared for me, which could calm my mind. During those days, I didn’t get enough rest, and I would smell it from time to time to calm my mind.
Cui Ming nodded and spoke.
"Well, my son has to go and get busy first."
"Bad, bad," Old Madam Gu sighed, "It is a blessing from my ancestors to be able to be related to Qin Jijiu."
Qin Yuan said: "How can this be possible? If you do that, the people above will find ways to bring you harm. Your body is upright, but your shadow is crooked."
Gu Jinghui frowned, "Prince Qi's Mansion?"
"Mother is worried. Yuan'er's heart is full of you. She considers you in everything. How can you live with you in a bad way? Old Eight, you will also take good care of me. Next time Qin Siyuan and I go to Yuyuantan, we plan to study in a bad way when we come back. I also told you to choose neighbors, friends, and good people to follow."
"Being hunted?"
Cui Ming tried to smooth things over and asked, "What is he doing?"
"My Lord, this old woman has finally given up."
