Chapter 158 Complaints
"Come here." Jiang Huanzhang sighed, soft-hearted, "Listen to me, this matter... is not what you think, anyway," Jiang Huanzhang paused. This matter could not be told to anyone, let alone explain it. "She can't come back. I will not let her enter our Jiang family again. Don't think too much about this, let alone do it. This is not something you can manage. Just think of her as dead, just take care of this family for me, have a few more sons, and teach the child well, and she will not come back."
"Cousin." Aunt Gu's heart thrust. She wouldn't come back? When did she die? Then when would her hard days end? "After all, it's your wife, you..."
"I said, don't mention this matter again! Just think she is dead! If she comes back, you and Qingshu will have no way to survive!" Jiang Huanzhang's voice and expression were stern. Aunt Gu was so scared that she trembled, and she didn't dare to say a word.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not treating you. Remember, in the future, you should treat yourself as the mistress of the family. You, and I, live our lives well. Don't worry, our family... will only get better and better day by day. In the future, you will have everything you want." Jiang Huanzhang saw Aunt Gu's face turned blue when he was frightened, and reached out to take her into his arms and comforted her softly.
"Okay." Aunt Gu blinked a few times and quickly calmed down her mood. Since that's the case, she still has important things to say to her cousin. "Cousin, there is something else, I'm thinking..."
Aunt Gu twisted the veil, her tone was cautious, "Auntie has been sick all the time, you are getting busier day by day, our mansion has not been fully staffed, and the newcomer has not been trained yet. Besides, my aunt is not a birthday this year. Otherwise, do you think it's like in previous years that our family has had a meal, and we will celebrate my aunt's birthday by ourselves. I'm not for myself..."
Seeing Jiang Huanzhang's face changed, Aunt Gu hurriedly explained, "I am thinking about my aunt. She has been sick and invites guests to have fun. Although I have arranged everything and I have arranged everything, my aunt always has to come out to receive a gift. This social event is so hard, and cousin, you are so busy, I am thinking about you and your aunt."
"My mother is actually very lively, but..." Jiang Huanzhang paused, but he was too tight to say this, "She is lazy and doesn't want to worry. You arrange everything well, don't have to worry about her. She likes such lively the most. As for me, I have told the prince that I had a day off that day. My mother's birthday was not all day long, and over the years, it's not easy for me. Now that I have become a family, I always make my mother happy with you. Don't think about these things. Just do it with your heart. Remember, you must be lively and decent."
Aunt Gu was full of bitterness and indescribable suffocation, and she couldn't hold it in. "Cousin, I'm not... I mean, my aunt is going to celebrate this birthday. If you don't say anything else, just follow the families you said. The families have a large population. Together, there are at least twenty or thirty people in the man and the female family. They have to be divided into two parts in the front and back yards. You said it's lively, it's best to invite a group of small shows inside and a few popular female geniuses outside. You must have a small singer. Cousin, how much money does this cost?"
Jiang Huanzhang stared at Aunt Gu in a daze, and for a moment he was a little dazed.
"There are still people. There are only a few people in our mansion. A while ago, more than half of them were sold. The remaining old and young, none of them are useful, and the new ones are all new. This person is not that easy to train. Besides, no one is trained. My cousin doesn't know that this mansion is all bad slaves, one is worse than the other, and no one is good. Then twenty or thirty people will come. If you don't say anything else, Sister Wang said that the big kitchen cannot prepare so many dishes. She is not a serious chef, so she can make those home-cooked dishes. She can't make this banquet or something..."
Aunt Gu spoke up and said more and more. This birthday banquet could not be held at all!
Jiang Huanzhang was stunned when he heard this and asked for a long time, "Why didn't you say these things earlier? Are you going to invite Li to come forward to discuss this? You...you can't, she can?"
"Cousin, my sister-in-law wants money and people, how can I compare with her? In our account, my cousin knows that last month, the North and South Merchant Service paid 700 taels of silver. The shop said that there was no money. If you say more, you threw the account book in front of me and said you didn't care. Let's ask Gao Ming to ask me what to do? Those account books are written in a mess. My grandmother and aunt have been teaching me poetry and books. We are all scholarly families, and who has seen things from those merchants?"
When it comes to reasoning, Jiang Huanzhang is really no match for Aunt Gu.
"There are still people. In this mansion, my cousin herself said that there is no one who is willing to work hard. My aunt has been in charge of the family for so many years, but there is no good way. What can I do? I am an aunt who has no identity and no support. Sister Wang told me that she couldn't hold this banquet. At worst, she wouldn't care about the big kitchen and asked me to invite Gao Ming. Where should I invite me? The cook next to my sister-in-law is called Xiaoyou. I heard that it costs twenty-two months a month, and there will be a bonus at the end of the year. That's it, it's said that it's a guest of the Li family, and Xiaoyou can't hold on, that's it, and that's just cooking one or two dishes..."
"Okay!" Jiang Huanzhang raised his voice and interrupted Aunt Gu's endless complaints, staring at Aunt Gu as if he had just met him, "You are not saying... what you said... these..."
What she said, what was different from before? Why had he never heard Li complain to him? He told him that Li would do it well, and he did it better than he expected...
"You have talent, just let go of your hands and do it. What's the difficulty? You are better than Li..."
"Cousin, this is not a matter of being strong or not. Now, if I want money but no money, I have no hands, and it is hard for a skilled woman to cook without rice, right? What can I do? I am not a god who can transform it out." Since Aunt Gu said it, she said it was open.
"Didn't I hand over all the shops to you? Why are you not rich? Do you understand? What should you know? If you have a shopkeeper and a partner, you don't have to worry about it? If the shop is open there and occupying that place, people will naturally buy things to do business and send money to the shop. The so-called "making money" is a good way, but our shop is bought well, and the place is right, and no one cares about it. It's also the same that people send money to the door every day, and a penny will not be less. The shopkeeper is disobedient, just change one. The money is earned by the shop, not by the shopkeeper, and it's changed. What's the big deal? There are so many brokerage banks in the capital, how many are you looking for? What's the difficulty? Are you not capable of it?" (To be continued.)
