Section 274 Privacy
Back from the old house, Gu Jinzhi went straight to the upper room and reported to his mother about the situation of entering the palace.
Before she entered the palace, her mother also gave her many instructions to be careful. The palace was in a strange way, and her mother was afraid that Gu Jinzhi would be involved.
After entering the room, there were several slutty women sweeping the snow in the yard.
The snow has not stopped and it has spilled all over the courtyard.
A crabapple under the window of the main room was already covered with snow, and the verdant past was not visible.
Nianlu and Aofu were doing needlework outside, while the little maids were busy, but they were very quiet.
Everyone walks with their toes on their toes.
It must be true at home again, otherwise, Nianlu and Aofu would not have done needlework outside in such a cold day.
They are stopping people to prevent anyone from breaking into the East Side Room.
Seeing Gu Jinzhi come back, Nian Lu picked the crane cloak for her, went to Guanyin Puddle, and asked her to rest in the warm room next to her: "Mrs. I have something to do, so you can go later."
"What's the matter?" Gu Jinzhi asked.
Nianlu and Aofu both shook their heads and pursed their lips and said nothing.
The two knew what happened, but they couldn't tell Gu Jinzhi.
"Is it the third master?" Gu Jinzhi asked in a follow-up question.
Nian Lu bit her lip and whispered: "It's not Master San, but Sister Haitang..."
Gu Jinzhi frowned slightly and did not ask again.
Beside Song Paner, Haitang is the most capable, no one can match her. Moreover, Haitang has been by Song Paner since she was a child, and she is trusted by Song Paner and liked by Song’s mother, so she always trained her.
What can she have?
Nian Lu and Aofu knew Haitang's status and did not dare to gossip.
Gu Jinzhi thought. Nian Lu had already poured hot tea for Gu Jinzhi and brought her a copper hand stove; Ao Fu returned home, sat outside, and watched.
Gu Jinzhi was sweating in the Qianqing Palace, and ran to Kunning Palace and Jinghe Palace, the Third Princess' Palace and other places. The cold wind blew and sneezes twice.
It seems like this, I'm going to catch a cold.
She wanted to go back and take a hot shower and cook some ginger soup.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Dongjima had not finished speaking and had finished the tea in his hand, Gu Jinzhi stood up and said, "I'll go in and take a look..."
Nian Lu was in a dilemma and pulled her sleeve: "Mrs. No one allowed her to go in. Only Sister Haitang and Mother Song were inside. The girl waited a little. I'll ask."
Gu Jinzhi sneezes again.
She thought about it and was not very interested in what happened to Haitang, so she said, "I'll go back first. If the wife asks, she will say that there is nothing in the palace and that I'm back. I'll come back when I'm going to have supper.
”
Nian Lu said that he personally sent Gu Jinzhi out of the yard.
Back in his yard, Gu Jinzhi sneezes a few more times.
I wish my mother a few, boiling water, boiling ginger soup, and Nishang also brought Gu Jinzhi a cup of rolling tea and asked her to drink it first.
After some trouble, Gu Jinzhi took a hot bath and changed into clean and refreshing clothes.
Wei Rui brought ginger soup again and drank it with her.
I wish my mother was worried and asked the mothers to carry a stove into the inner room.
The inner room was burned with a kang, which was originally warm and dry. A warm stove was added. There was an open fire in the stove, which was even more dry. Gu Jinzhi couldn't bear it. So he said, "Mom, carry the stove out. I'm a little annoyed...
…”
Zhu's mother said: "It's a little cold just now, is it warm now?"
Gu Jinzhi nodded and said, "Don't you know it's warm, it's too hot for mom."
Mom, please ask someone to move the stove out again.
Gu Jinzhi was lying on the bed, and the bed was coaxed by Tang Pozi. She stretched comfortably and felt sleepy.
I wish my mother would not let her sleep: "It's not time for dinner yet. If you go to bed, you will be able to oversleep, delay your night's sleep and hurt your body. Otherwise, my mother will bring you a book?"
Gu Jinzhi laughed, turned over, lay on the bed, and said, "Why do you still read books when you are sleepy, aren't you even more sleepy? After calling Nishang and the others to come here, let's talk."
Mom Zhu said yes, so he went and called all the big maids in.
Zhilei and Youhe were making Gu Jinzhi's clothes. After taking them in, they still started to make them on the small kang by the window.
"Girl, the second prince in the palace has disappeared before the full moon. Who caused it?" Wei Rui raised his little face and asked Gu Jinzhi.
Zhu's mother felt that she was brainless when she asked, and coughed heavily, and glared: "I'm talking about the Tian family, how many heads do you have?"
Wei Rui pouted and said disrespectfully: "It's not an outsider. Let's talk about it ourselves, what are we afraid of? The girl doesn't know. The boys in the second sect said that it was spread all over the world and they were guessing who harmed the second sect.
Where is the prince? I heard that the emperor and the empress dowager were sick because of anger. They also said that the emperor could not afford to offend..."
Without real evidence, Gu Jinzhi didn't want to say anything more.
She said, "How can we guess the affairs of the Tian family?"
Wei Rui won’t say anything more.
I wish my mother to change the topic and talk about today's first snow: "It snowed so heavily in early October, and there will be a snow disaster this year. I'm afraid the harvest will be bad next year."
"The fields here are all in Yanling Prefecture. Yanling Prefecture is not afraid of snow, but is afraid of drought and flood in spring." Zhilei did needlework and thread and continued without raising her head.
Because the third wife followed the old man to Yanling Mansion, he took the rent from Yanling Mansion alone, and the big house was not in the same account.
Now that the old man has not yet produced filial piety, he naturally has no reason to divide the land first.
"When the Song family married his wife to the capital, they bought a lot of land in Shandong and Hebei to serve as dowry for his wife." Zhu's mother said, "Those fields are subject to snow disasters. Besides, how much land is only in Yanling Mansion?
Those rents are also required to be paid, and there are accounts to follow when the family is divided in the future. The land where the wife is dowry is my own..."
Gu Jinzhi laughed.
"You are in a hurry," she said, "It's okay, no matter who you are hungry, you won't be hungry."
Everyone laughed.
"I heard that my wife also has fields in Yanling Mansion..." Nishang said.
They just discussed Gu Jinzhi's mother's private property in front of Gu Jinzhi.
Gu Jinzhi felt that this girl was too prestige.
She lay on the pillow and listened to them with a smile.
For example, Nishang said that his wife had fields and shops in Yanling Prefecture, Jiangning Prefecture, and Hangzhou Prefecture, which made Gu Jinzhi stunned.
"Really?" Gu Jinzhi asked, "I haven't heard of it..."
She doesn't care much about the family's food, rice, oil and salt.
Say there is no, she has no credible evidence.
If she said yes, she had never heard her mother mention it.
But since she was a child, because her mother had a generous dowry and her father didn't spend money randomly. There was no economic crisis in their room, so she didn't listen to her mother discussing the issue of family property with her father.
How much private property does her parents have? Think about it carefully, Gu Jinzhi doesn't know...
"It's a good thing you don't have sisters." Zhu's mother smiled.
Families with sisters may find out more clearly and measure how many dowry they will have in the future.
Gu Jinzhi also laughed.
"Don't guess. I'll go and ask for you when I go back." Gu Jin said.
Nishang and Zhu's mother were shocked: "If you ask this, the lady will not scold us. As servants, who doesn't chew some gossip behind their backs? If the girl asks, we have no way to live."
Gu Jinzhi laughed.
Zhu Mom and his wife didn't know whether Gu Jinzhi was joking or serious, so they really didn't dare to talk about the private property of the three houses, and turned to other things.
A few people just stayed like this for half an afternoon.
It was almost time for dinner. Jin's mother, who was in charge of the second chef, looked for Zhilei and asked for a look.
Gu Jinzhi met this mother for the first time.
When Jin's mother saw Gu Jinzhi, she was a little restrained and saluted her with a stern look.
Zhilei took her a look and sent her out again. The two of them talked secretly.
Zhilei didn't come back for a long time.
Ni Shang winked Weirui and asked Weirui to eavesdrop.
Zhu's mother grabbed Weirui and laughed in a low voice: "You are so worried that the girl's clothes, shoes and socks are all yours, so let Zhilei and Youhe take a break."
Wei Rui didn't dare to stop.
Nishang was not willing to give up and said with a smile: "Mom always protects Zhilei. The hoof has been approaching Jin's mother recently, sneaking. Did Jin's mother promise to give her nephew or godson's.
Zhilei is the son-in-law?"
"It must be." Wei Rui smiled and said, "Mom, do you know?"
Youhe, who had been silent, looked unnatural.
Gu Jinzhi found it very interesting.
When Ni Shang and Wei Rui were grinding with mom, Gu Jinzhi tried hard to look at the silent Youhe.
Youhe noticed Gu Jinzhi's gaze and her face turned red.
Gu Jinzhi already understood one or two in his heart.
Just as he was making a fuss, Zhilei was back.
Naturally, Nishang would not let her go and asked her what she said to Jin's mother.
"Look at you being sneaky, can you be a member of the Jin family in the future?" Nishang excited Zhilei with his words.
Zhilei was soft-hearted and had a thin face. Nishang said, "You want to be fooled by others. I will report to you first."
"Sister Zhilei is older than us. If you go and report to your wife, you have to accompany Sister Nishang, Sister Nishang will not be able to overcome you. At that time, the wife will naturally feel like Mingjing. Sister Zhilei can't stand it. She uses Sister Nishang's marriage
, Go and urge your wife..." Wei Rui was quick-mouthed and finished speaking like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
Zhilei was anxious and embarrassed. She said the wrong thing and was caught by Weirui. After saying such a bunch of things, she blushed even more and chased Weirui and wanted to beat him.
Mom Zhu stopped him in the middle.
Nishang and Youhe smiled softly first.
Gu Jinzhi laughed so hard.
Several people had a fuss, and the house was surrounded by a pleasant atmosphere.
Zhilei's face was still red, and she still explained to everyone why she had gone out for so long: "They are not as good as us in the kitchen, and they don't know anything. Just now, Mother Jin said that something happened at home and she had already happened.
But we don't know."
"What's the matter?" Zhu's mother and others calmed down and looked at Zhilei.
Zhilei glanced at Gu Jinzhi.
Gu Jinzhi thought about it and found that there was nothing at home that could not be seen, so he asked, "What is it?"
