113 The Jealousy

Old Qu was far away and didn't see anything in the box. He just felt something was wrong. Everyone's faces and expressions were different from what she thought. He immediately stretched out his hand and said to Mama Qiu, "Show me."

Mama Qiu opened her eyes and looked at Old Qu, with tears in her eyes. She wanted to explain to herself, but there were too many people who could not speak, so she had to come forward and present the things to Old Qu.

Old Qu waited for Mama Qiu to approach, leaned forward and saw that he almost fainted.

"The gift my grandmother gave is really...ingenious."

After Gu Zhehan finished speaking sarcastically, he leaned over to Gu Yan and whispered: "Sister, don't be anxious. I'll wait for my aunt to send the money here tomorrow. Brother will take you to the street to pick up the good ones."

Gu Zhehan was whispering, but the voice was still loud in the quiet room, and no one in the room could hear it. Gu Shi lowered his head in shame and did not dare to look at Gu An's family.

In fact, the things in the box are not cheap either. They are good enough for ordinary people. But for a family, this is just a small item that can be given to the servants, and I really can't give it to others.

Gu Shuyu was not interested in knowing what Qu gave Gu An's family, but he suddenly became interested in seeing the expressions of everyone. He looked at him and looked at him and saw a pair of pure gold lantern earrings.

Gu Shuyu's breathing stagnated and looked at Old Qu in disbelief, with a complicated expression.

He knew that the old Qu family didn't like Gu An's family, let alone her, even his own father didn't like them much, but after all, he was his descendants. Even if you don't like him, they are their legitimate mother. How could you give such a thing to the junior?

Old Qu's face turned red and white, and then turned black again. He looked at the box in Mama Qiu's hand with a gloomy face, not knowing what to say.

She didn't admit it was her gift? But she had already said that she had prepared it for a long time. Now she turned her back and refused to admit it. Isn't this a slap in the face? She was still pointing at these things and turning over! How could she slap herself again?

Admit it? How did she admit it? She said that the things inside were prepared by her? It would be so if she gave it out when they first entered the mansion, but now it is not possible. Not to mention how valuable the string of Buddhist beads Gu Yan gave is, what Gu Zhehan said just now made her know that Gu An's family was not easy to fool. Didn't you listen to Gu Zhehan taking Gu Yan out to buy another pair? If they really let them go out and then it was reported that these things were given out by her, it undoubtedly confirmed that she was unkind to her mother. How could she go out to see people in the future? How could she gain a foothold in the capital?

Old Qu raised his eyes and glanced at Mama Qiu, and had already made a decision in his heart.

"Mom Qiu, what's going on? What I asked you to prepare? How did this become?"

Mama Qiu knew that Old Qu was going to use her to hold her back. Who told her to make the things she gave out on her own initiative? Who wouldn't she bend? Could it be that Old Qu was embarrassed in front of Gu An's family?

Mama Qiu immediately knelt down with a "thump" and kowtowed to the old Qu.

"It's my fault, it's my own decision, it's all my fault. The old lady is in poor health. Please don't get angry. I know that I am wrong, so please ask the old lady to spare me this time. I am wrong, and I will never dare to..."

Mama Qiu kept kowtowing to Old Qu, saying that she was wrong, but she didn't mention where these things came from. If Yu knew that she had done something in the warehouse without any hesitation, she wouldn't hate her!

Old Qu did not even want to put his capable slave in for Gu An's family. He pretended to be embarrassed and did not look at the mother Qiu who kept kowtowing on the ground. He just asked someone to plead and exposed the matter.

Gu Yan didn't say anything, and twisted her fingers in her sleeve, and a playful look flashed in her eyes.

It would be a pity to kill such a loyal slave with one stick. I thought I could kill her at night, but now it seems that I could keep it. There are not many slaves who can cheat my master so I have to make good use of it.

But she can't let go of things that she disrespects to their family, just a slave, and no matter how good she has, she doesn't have the right to see her.

Gu Yan looked up and glanced at Gu Zhehan.

Gu Zhehan felt a chill on his spine and subconsciously looked down at Gu Yan.

What's going on?

revenge.

Just take this opportunity? It is difficult to kill her.

Yes, don't kill it, keep it.

Gu Zhehan looked at Gu Yan in surprise for a long time, until she was sure of her seriousness, and then she looked up and sneered at the old Qu.

"Grandmother, this woman is a capable old man around her. When she serves her grandmother, her grandson should not be too much, but she should advise her grandmother not to be angry. It's all for nothing. But her grandson has to say that the Hou family has a great career, and no matter how big it is, it has no reason to give outsiders, and she is still a slave.

Mama Qiu robbed herself and replaced the things prepared by her grandmother with something else. This was what the aunt wanted to take a look at. If no one said it, it would be better for us to open the box here. When we went back, we decided that the things were prepared by our grandmother. Whether the things were expensive or not, we would also treasure them as treasures, but grandmother's things fell into the hands of this old man.

It would be fine if she kept it herself, but if she took it outside and did something amazing, she would inevitably involve her grandmother.

Even if nothing happens, my grandmother will definitely think that we took the things to harm you, but we didn't take them at all, and we will feel unfair. Next, our family will be separated in this life, and even if it is serious, we will feel resentful.

We are a good family and let a slave provoke the enemy. In the eyes of outsiders, we become a joke, and maybe we will be the laughing stock of the capital.

Grandmother and grandson think that this mother Qiu needs to teach her a lesson, otherwise our waiting mansion will be in danger next time.”

Gu Zhehan's tongue is full of lotus flowers, and he talks endlessly and randomly, and his mouth is so straightforward that it makes people unable to interfere, so he can only listen to him.

Gu Zhehan said it very emotionally, as if he was completely considering Dingyuan Hou Mansion, and he was sincere and desirable. He also glanced at Mama Qiu at the right time, with tears flashing in his eyes, as if he felt sorry for Mama Qiu that betrayed the old Qu, the master, and what she did made him feel heartbroken.

Mama Qiu was still confused while lying on the ground, but she didn't understand. She just took a few small items from the warehouse as gifts from Qu to Gu An's family. Why did she get it to the point where she was going to provoke her master's family? What custody did she steal? When did she hide the old lady's things? When did she betray the old lady? When did she want to harm the old lady? Why didn't she know?

Gu An and Tang glanced at Gu Zhehan and thought it would be a pity for his son not to take the imperial examination. Such a sensible mouth is more than enough to be a censor.

Not only did the couple think so, but even Gu Shuyu looked surprised at Gu Zhehan, as if he had finally found someone at home who could take over his job and could become an official in the court. He completely forgot that he had been named the fourth rank of General Dingyuan by the emperor and wanted to enter the palace to accompany him.

Gu Shuyu was just trying to say something encouraged, and wanted to call Gu Zhehan to the front yard study alone to take the exam well, but he didn't expect that all his words were interrupted, and he couldn't be unhappy, and he had to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Hou, the emperor and the empresses of each palace have received the gifts. It was brought by Eunuch Li from the palace. You can go and receive the order."

The servant below said that the whole family of Hou's family had worked. Everyone stood up and walked to the second gate, leaving Mama Qiu aside.

Thinking that she had escaped the disaster, Mama Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately got up from the ground and helped Old Qu to go to the inner room to change her clothes.

The old Qu didn't bother talking to Mama Qiu. The nobleman in front was still waiting. She didn't have time to talk to Mama Qiu. After she was dressed, she carried her skirt and posed at the second gate with her mother Qiu and a group of maids. She saw Sun Ying's godson Eunuch Li talking to Gu An and Gu Zhehan with a smile. Behind him, there were also a group of guards and palace maids standing in his hands. The ones on the ground were obviously rewarded by the emperor.

When I saw her husband Gu Shuyu and two sons, four or five grandsons, all stood aside as foils, while the granddaughters were much more reserved and farther away, but their eyes kept aiming at the palace plate in the palace maid's hand. If it weren't for the red cloth covering it, their eyes would probably have fallen into the inside.

A group of things with shallow eyelids, I have never seen anything good as the daughter of the Hou Mansion? Although the mansion has disappeared over the years, the lean camels are bigger than horses, and the Hou Mansion is not bad for their little things. Which one of them is not the best ones they wear?

Old Qu walked to Eunuch Li with a dark face, adjusted his expression below, and barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Eunuch Li, please come and go for yourself."

Eunuch Li talked with Gu An. The passion of Gu Zhehan and his son. He thought that Gu An would be like those people when he stepped onto a high position, looking up to the top and looking down on them, but he didn't expect that Gu An would look down on them at all. He was equal like chatting with his own brothers. Even Gu Zhehan next to him was like this. Although he had a smile, there was no point in flattery in his laughter, and there was no trace of ridicule. He patted his shoulder to fight with him.

Eunuch Li is a personal genius. He grew up in the palace and was the best at looking at people. Otherwise, he would not have lived until now, nor would he be attracted to Sun Ying and would have chosen him as his godson. He knew that Gu An and his son were not ordinary at this moment, so he was afraid that they could be equally accused of being a eunuch. The father and son would have great achievements in the future.

If you can have an eunuch equally, then you must be like this with others. Such people are the most enjoyable in the court, and no one can offend anyone. No one can make a mistake, and no one wants to offend them, because they have the ability and more friends will stand up for them.

Just as Eunuch Li was thinking, he was interrupted by the old Qu family. He immediately turned around and looked at the old Qu family with a smile.

It has been a while since General Gu's family entered the city, but they are still wearing the ragged clothes they had when they entered the city. It can be seen that the mansion has not given him time to change his clothes for so long, so it is not certain that he has not prepared them at all.

Eunuch Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled and said to Old Qu, "The old lady is very happy. You can raise a son like General Gu. But you have a bright face!"

He likes the most about the slap in the face. A concubine's son became a general with his own ability. The two crawled out of your belly are useless, one is idiot and the other is a bastard. You are really capable.

Old Qu pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly and said, "Eunuch Li is busy, and the emperor cannot live without his father-in-law. My father-in-law should announce the edict first."

Eunuch Li didn't care, so he nodded and said yes, standing in front of the incense table, he started to announce the edict.

The previous one was for Gu An's family. The content was similar to what Emperor Wen of Wei said outside the capital, but he only praised them for being a little more kind.

The latter part was given to Dingyuan Hou Mansion, mainly because the Emperor Gu An was very happy to have his family from Dingyuan Hou Mansion, so he also rewarded them with some things, nothing more than silk cloth, gold, silver and jade, and the others were gone.

Eunuch Li smiled and handed over the two imperial edicts to Gu An and Gu Shuyu respectively, and then brought out a list of rewards from the empresses of each palace following the emperor's butt to Gu An's family. As for the Hou Mansion, there were also some, but not many.

Eunuch Li read the gift list again, and asked someone to put down the reward, took the purse handed over by Yu, and turned around and left with the man.

Looking at the rewards all over the yard, not only did Old Qu and Yu feel distressed, but even Gu Shuyu was moved, but no one dared to take action. It was because these things were rewarded by the emperor to Gu An. When they wanted to move, they had to consider whether their necks were hard enough and whether there were too many heads at home that the emperor cut.

Old Qu and Yu looked at each other and asked the servants to deliver all the rewards belonging to Gu An's family to Baifang Garden. The remaining two boxes belonging to Hou Mansion were moved to the warehouse. Without saying hello, they turned around and wanted to return to Rong'an Hall.

I didn't want to be stunned anymore, I was so heartbroken that I watched those things being moved away, and it hurts like a heartbreaker. There were only two items in the yard that belonged to Hou Mansion. I felt so embarrassed when I thought about it.

"Grandma, wait."

Gu Zhehan's voice sounded from behind, and Old Qu paused and turned around and looked at him in confusion.

"Is there anything wrong with Brother Han?"

All the things have been moved by your family. What else do you have? You can't just want to take up these two boxes, right? That belongs to Hou Mansion, not to your second wife.

Gu Zhehan looked at the old Qu clan blankly and said, "Did you forget grandmother? This woman has not dealt with yet. Could it be that grandmother let her go? If she does..."

Gu Zhehan stopped talking halfway, and stared at Old Qu's eyes blankly, wanting to hear what Old Qu's deal with Mama Qiu.

Old Qu knew that Gu Zhehan would have no good news to call her, but this is effective.

The old Qu family was helpless. The Hou Mansion had the rules of the Hou Mansion. If she was favored, the servants in the Hou Mansion would follow suit in the future. How could they manage the housekeepers? Wouldn’t all the things in this family be trashed? A charge of poor family management can ruin her reputation that has been carefully maintained for many years.

Old Qu gritted his teeth, raised his breath, and said to the subordinate standing on both sides: "Mama Qiu steals herself, beats ten boards, and is fined one year a month."

After Old Qu finished speaking, he stopped looking at Gu An's family and turned around and left.
