380, sidekick
Mrs. Zhang is also an old man from the Tang family. The old lady in the second family has changed one after another. She is the only one who is the iron god of the door, and it seems that it will not change for a hundred years.
Therefore, no detail can escape the eyes of the door god.
Today, the two boys came to the second gate. Mrs. Zhang knew that something big was going to happen.
Although these two people are dressed in short clothes, they are dressed neatly and have very regular behaviors. They are obviously servants from the big portal.
The girl in the second door followed Mrs. Zhang for two years and was also aware of people with his eyes. She led the two directly into the house where the second door was used to enter the guest room.
The girl saw the skin, but the lady Zhang saw the two people wearing very simple clothes. In addition to running and tired, she also had a faint mixture of depression and sorrow. She talked little, and only said that there were important things to meet the third wife.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang decided that the two of them were from the third wife's mother's house. This time, it must be the old master of the in-laws. So she didn't interrogate more. She just asked the girl to call Ci Gu over quickly and the third wife had a body. If she heard something bad about it, she would not be able to bear it.
There are rules and tricks for entertaining guests on the second door. Cold face and hot face are only two extremes. As for the hot and cold and cold, it will make people think about it carefully.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhang was cold and hot. She ordered people to bring in a large pot of hot tea, and asked the idle people to go outside the house to wait for their orders.
Mrs. Zhang personally poured tea for the two of them, with a homely expression: "It's cold, drink some warm and warm body."
"It's my mother." The two nodded, then picked up the tea and drank it.
Mrs. Zhang said again: "Thank you for your hard work this trip. I'm not close to Kyoto from Jiangnan to get to Kyoto."
Both of them were stunned when they heard this. They only reported themselves at the gate. After entering the gate, they still didn't say a word, but they were all seen through by the old woman in front of them.
A boy with thick eyebrows said, "Mum, I have such a good eye. We are from the Gu family."
Mrs. Zhang smiled silently: "Don't bother to think that my old lady doesn't give her face. Even if there is a big deal, she doesn't have the reason to let her wife come directly. Now she is brave enough to let the people around her come first. At that time, she will lead you to meet the people she should meet."
"It's still the nanny who thinks it carefully." The two of them were quite polite, and they were worthy of being from the scholarly family. Even the servants were more literary than others.
Mrs. Zhang didn't say much. Although the second gate is the news station for the whole mansion, it also depends on the matter. What should be asked about and what should not be asked about? Mrs. Zhang has his own sense of responsibility.
Besides, there is no need to ask about some things. Just look at what happened when Ci Gu came for a while and then you will be clear.
When Ci Gu and Hair Flower arrived together, they saw that the second gate had been cleared by Mrs. Zhang, and she actually guarded the gate herself, and she knew that something was wrong.
Mrs. Zhang was very rare to guard the door alone. After a while, she could hear the crying inside. Mrs. Zhang was cruel and secretly called out for her judgment just now.
When the door opened, both Ci Gu and Hair Flower had swollen eyes. After all, Ci Gu served in the inner house for many years. Although she was sad, she was not lost. At this moment, she still remembers to take out the money and put it in the palm of Mrs. Zhang: "I'm sorry, Madam Zhang sent someone to order two bowls of hot noodle soup from the kitchen. The two children have not eaten since the early morning."
Mrs. Zhang weighed the point: "Where can I use the two bowls of noodles? I dare to say, "Aunt Ci should not be so sad, but the third wife is still hoping that you will be able to help you."
When Ci Gu heard this thoughtful words, she held Zhang's hand and said, "But our wife's body... I don't know if we should report to the old lady first or our wife."
It’s okay for Mrs. Zhang to say a few ready-made words, but she naturally won’t do such stupid things as giving others ideas: “Ci Gu has been with the third wife for many years, so she naturally knows her master better than us outsiders.”
Ci Gu couldn't make a decision for the moment, so she ordered Zhanghua again: "Let Walanger and Shi Tou come and accompany them, they are all children."
He wiped his eyes with a veil and wiped his eyes: "How old was that time? They were in the village all year round and they had been there for a long time, so they had long been unable to remember it."
"Oh, I haven't been back for many years..." Ci Gu and Zhanghua said as they walked away.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but sigh. The wife of the third wife finally got pregnant. She heard that she had a pair of melons on August 15th. Although it was such a good omen, such a big thing happened.
Even if Aunt Ci reported to the old lady first, what can the old lady do? Can she still stop her daughter-in-law from going home to wear mourning and crying?
After a while, Shitou and his servants came and went into the house to talk to the two boys. Although their tone was polite, they were not friendly. It can be seen that they had been separated for too long and had already lost their recognition.
The servants were rootless grass, and they followed the master wherever they went... Mrs. Zhang was too lazy to sigh at this moment, and only listened to the boys in the room. The stone was a little smarter. He also went out with the third master for a few times and then understood something. At this moment, he was asking the two boys why they didn't come with the obituary.
After hearing the two boys' answers, Mrs. Zhang realized that there was no one around Lanxi, the eldest son was an official, the daughter was married away, and the younger son seemed to be traveling around and painting. At this moment, only the old manager was making decisions at home, and because he was reporting the death to his family, he didn't have time to write an obituary.
Shi Tou said with a striking silence that a girl is an outsider when she gets married and should write an obituary. Besides, the old man and the old lady of the Tang family might also read it.
Then he heard the two men say that the master was not in Kyoto when he went to another province to handle the business. At this moment, someone had already gone to report the funeral. Fortunately, it was not too far from Lanxi, so maybe he could even catch up with the old man to watch the funeral.
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was relieved and could make the decision when the Gu family returned. She heard that Mr. Gu had also served as an official during his lifetime, and his funerals had to be held according to the qualifying system. The lady had to arrive in Lanxi a month at the earliest. If she couldn't catch up with the funeral, she had to put in incense sticks in front of the tablet. Maybe she had to stay in Lanxi for several months before she could come back.
Mrs. Zhang shook her head. The third room was in chaos this time.
It took a long time before Ci Gu came over again. This time she was followed by the fifth girl, and both of them seemed to have just cried.
Ci Gu asked Shitou and his servants to go back first, and then told her not to talk nonsense, but the old lady didn't know.
After the room calmed down, Ci Gu sighed deeply: "You two wait a moment here, maybe we will set off today."
The two boys were stunned when they heard this. Even Mrs. Zhang didn't expect to set off so quickly, so she heard the boy with thick eyebrows say, "Miss, she..."
"My mother was so sad, but she insisted on leaving immediately." The fifth girl wiped her eyes with a veil, as if she was unwilling to continue the sad topic, so she asked Ci Gu, "Are these two children born in the Gu family?"
Ci Gu nodded and pointed to the boy with thick eyebrows and said, "This is the pen of the youngest son of the Lu Manager," and pointed to another one: "This is Dafu, the son of Mama Li."
The fifth girl nodded to the two of them: "We are all old people from the Gu family. I remember that the road manager had been to many places with my grandfather back then. Madam Li also watched my mother grow up. I remember that Madam's needlework was very good. She made many of my clothes when I was a child."
The two boys said repeatedly: "Miss Fifth is so serious, I really don't dare to be it. The old man is so kind to us, and these are all things we should do." As they said, their eyes turned red.
"Zhibi, your name must be given by my grandfather." said the fifth girl.
When Zhibi heard this, tears came overflowing from tears: "He was still calling his aunt's nickname before leaving..."
After hearing this, the fifth girl covered her face with a veil and cried.
Ci Gu had no choice but to persuade: "The girl cried carefully and was so tired. The road to Lanxi is still long, and the wife is still counting on us to persuade..."
The big bourgeoisie interjected, "I wonder if this trip... Master Aunt will go with us?"
The fifth girl choked and said, "Grandpa is not only my father's father-in-law, but also my father's mentor. The relationship between them is comparable to that of biological father and son. My father would rather miss the Championship than go to Lanxi to mourn."
When the two heard this, they kept saying that the aunt was kind and righteous.
Ci Gu looked at Dafu and suddenly said, "This child looks different from before."
Dafu said embarrassedly: "When I was a child, I rarely do business in the mansion. Most of them are in the village. Maybe my aunt has misremembered."
Ci Gu shook her head and said, "You were as fat as a small ball when you were a child, but now you have lost a lot."
Dafu blushed and said, "I gradually lost weight when I grow older."
Ci Gu continued: "Your father was in charge of our family's most abundant farm, with fields, orchards and livestock, and several large fish ponds, which naturally made you fat."
Dafu grabbed his head and whispered: "That's all for the old man."
Ci Gu shook her head again and said, "I want to thank the old lady in heaven. It was her idea to transfer your father to the village back then. It was also his fault that your mother could marry your father."
Dafu repeatedly said yes, as if in order to make the atmosphere less sad, he also took the initiative to talk about how fat the livestock in the farm was, how big the fish in the fish pond were, and how fresh the fruits in the orchard were.
Mrs. Zhang listened calmly, but she didn't feel it was wrong, but when she looked at Ci Gu's expression, she always felt a little subtle difference. She was crying when she said it, but it was not as real as before.
I heard the fifth girl say again: "This trip is long, so we have to clean up in the back house. We have already reported the news to my father. He happened to be at the Lanxi Chamber of Commerce. Why don't you go to his place and wait, and we will all meet there by then."
Ci Gu nodded and said, "I forgot if I don't mention this. This morning, the master said that Lanxi's boss Hu had just arrived in Kyoto today. It is said that he had been rushing from Lanxi for more than ten days, in order to participate in this competition. If such a big incident happened in the Lanxi Valley family, then Boss Hu must have known it a long time ago. Maybe our master knew it earlier than here."
When the two of them heard this, their faces became a little unnatural.
Ci Gu thought for a while and said, "You two should go there first. Some details of the family must be told to my son-in-law."
Zhibi was quite calm, but Dafu looked a little flickering, and he looked up and asked, "What's going on over there with Mrs.?"
"I'm asking the servants to pack up their things."
Dafu said caringly: "Mrs. My aunt and the old man have always had a deep love between father and daughter, but the younger ones are afraid that the lady will hear this letter at first..."
"This is probably not something that the servants should worry about." A sneer appeared on the fifth girl's face for no reason.
Mrs. Zhang was confused when she watched from the side. She felt that there was something wrong here, but she couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Ci Gu suddenly clapped her hands, and several strong men came into the room and actually twisted the two boys and tied them up.
Mrs. Zhang rubbed her eyes, and the dramatic changes were really dazzling.
"Ci Gu! Miss! What's this mean?" Under the clamping of the big men, the two of them naturally couldn't move, so they could only ask with a red face.
The fifth girl smiled unconsciously and pointed her hand at the boy with thick eyebrows: "Zhibi, let me ask you another question, who gave you your name?"
"Yes...it's the old man..."
"What's the hesitation? I don't know who my name is? "The fifth girl looked at the dodging Zhibi with interest, "Your name was obviously given by my uncle."
Sweat was oozing from Zhibi's forehead: "When I was a child, my parents rarely mentioned things, so I naturally couldn't remember them."
"Okay, I can't remember anything else, so you should be clear about what your father is doing."
"My father is the manager of the Gu family and he has been with the old man."
"When the old man became an official, was your father around?"
"yes……"
"It's okay if you don't know your name, but have you even forgotten your own history of success? Your father is obviously in charge of the Gu family and has never gone out with the old man. When I mentioned this just now, you have a defensive look on your face. Do you even know what your father did before?"
Zhibi stammered, Dafu on the side was even more nervous than him, sweat dripping down, and the fifth girl laughed and said, "Let's talk about our Dafu, your mother is Madam Li, right?"
Dafu looked horrified and didn't know how to answer.
The girl laughed and said, "How do I remember that your mother is obviously Madam Zhang?"
"This... maybe when I was a kid..."
Ci Gu also laughed: "It's okay, have you even forgotten who your biological mother is?"
Mrs. Zhang gradually understood that these two boys were actually two liars who were falsely spreading news. She couldn't help but spit: "Madam Zhang? Who has a thief son like you!"
The fifth girl said as if she remembered something: "From my memory, your mother is Madam Li. She was in charge of the kitchen and cooked well, but she didn't have any needlework. I just said that your mother had made several clothes for me, but you actually agreed?"
Dafu was already nervous and decent, and he couldn't speak a word at this moment.
Ci Gu said, "When you were a child, you were as thin as a monkey. I just said you were as fat as a ball, but you nodded and said yes?"
Mrs. Zhang laughed while listening to the side, and then heard Ci Gu continue: "There is also a village where your father manages. It is obviously a silkworm farm, but it just says that there are such fresh fruits, such big fish, and such fat livestock. I don't know where they are transformed from."
The two of them could no longer hold on and kowtowed on the spot, "Grandma, please spare my life! The young men also took the money from others and started this unscrupulous business! The young men are sorry to Aunt Ci, the girls, and even more so to Mrs.
"What you should be most sorry for is my grandfather. He was cursed like this by the evil man for no reason, so how can this hatred be subsided!" The fifth girl's aggravated tone made Mrs. Zhang feel chilled.
The fifth girl is really impressive. When ordinary people hear the news of despair, they are often confused at the first time. There is still time to consider other things, let alone such detailed investigations.
