Chapter 24 Master and Servant
The old lady sat in the middle, spinning Buddhist beads in her hand, her face gloomy.
There was a ginseng on the table, and Gu Yunyao was beside it, holding a money bag in his hand and just counting it.
"Mother." The second lady called softly.
The old lady raised her eyelids to look at her, the displeasure in her eyes was obvious.
Gu Yunyao said: "You guys chat, I'm leaving."
She carried the money bag, not forgetting to take the ginseng, turned around and walked away.
Out of the courtyard, Gu Yunyao couldn't help laughing.
She knew that the second lady would not give her something so happily, so she didn't have the patience to wait, so she just picked a ginseng and went to the old lady to see how much it was worth.
Lest she take it out and sell it, and don't know if she was cheated.
When the old lady heard that she was going to sell the things sent by Prince Qin's Mansion, she almost dropped her Buddhist beads.
While gritting his teeth to appease him, he sadly took out some money and asked her to use it first.
Gu Yunyao weighed her money bag, laughed twice, and swaggered back to the yard.
She has other abilities, and her ability to make people angry is top-notch.
On the way back to the yard, I walked around the outside of Gu Qingwen's yard again. It is estimated that the odor on Gu Qingwen's body has not completely dissipated, and it will not come out now.
It's okay, take your time.
Gu Qingwen, this little white lotus, is much smarter than Gu Qingxue, so keep it here and deal with it slowly.
Back in the courtyard, the sky was getting darker. Gu Yunyao was about to take out some food when someone came quietly.
Yang whispered: "Mother Hua."
Grandma Hua is in her fifties, clean and tidy, and looks very calm.
"Madam, second young lady," Nanny Hua saluted, "I brought some food."
She opened the food box she brought and took out three dishes and one soup.
The dishes are simple, but much better than what was served to them before.
"Mother Hua, thank you for taking care of me. It's just that my mother and I don't have much money right now, so I'm afraid we will disappoint you."
Gu Yunyao went straight to the point without trying to beat around the bush.
Aunt Hua is not new to the family. If she had the heart to take care of her, she would not wait until now.
If you suddenly show kindness now, it's either someone instigating you or you have an agenda.
Gu Yunyao didn't want to waste time on unnecessary people and things.
Aunt Hua Fu Fu Shen said: "I have no plans, the second lady just don't worry.
The old slave used to work as a sweeper in the madam's courtyard. The madam was kind-hearted and treated the old slave well.
The wife and the second young lady were in trouble, and it turned out that the people in the courtyard were either bribed or disposed of.
The old slave was assigned to do chores in the kitchen. The son at home is in poor health and needs the old slave’s monthly money to buy medicine. A few days ago..."
Aunt Hua paused and her voice became a little more subdued: "With him gone, I have nothing to worry about. It's just my old fate to be at the mercy of my wife and the second lady."
Gu Yunyao's heart trembled slightly.
Didn't expect this to be the case.
With the Second Lady's methods, Grandma Hua was assigned to the kitchen, which must have been hard work. She was often ostracized and had to endure taking care of her sick son. It was not easy.
My son passed away and I went back to retaliate to my old master.
It is also considered benevolent and righteous.
Gu Yunyao looked at the food on the table: "Did you steal this?"
Aunt Hua pursed her lips slightly, as if she didn't want to say anything, but she was afraid that Gu Yunyao would misunderstand that she had stolen it and refused to eat it.
He hesitated for a moment and replied: "No, the old slave has worked hard in the past few years. It turns out that he is also a sweeper in the wife's courtyard, and he is not a confidant. Maybe they don't remember it. Last month, the old slave just worked as a steward. This meal
, belongs to the old slave."
Gu Yunyao looked at her again and saw that her eyebrows were calm and she was more candid than Aunt Tian, Aunt Su and others.
"In that case, let's sit down and have a meal together."
Surprise flashed across Nanny Hua's eyes: "Old slave, I don't dare."
"My mother and I will remember your help in times of need. If you are not in a hurry to leave, just sit down. I have something else to ask you."
"yes."
The three of them sat down and ate together.
While Gu Yunyao was eating, she seemed to ask unintentionally: "My mother and I are always in the yard and rarely go out. There are many things going on in the house that I don't know much about.
I haven't seen my second uncle these days, where has he been?"
"The second master has been away on business for a month or so, but he should be home in the next few days."
"How to say?"
"Second Miss, have you forgotten? The old man's memorial day is coming soon, so he will definitely come back in time."
Gu Yunyao nodded: "Oh, yes, I mixed up the dates."
"Second Miss, the old man's memorial day is an important matter in the family. When the time comes... please be careful."
Gu Yunyao heard something in her words, so he gave her a chopstick dish.
Aunt Hua was flattered and quickly thanked her.
"Mommy, please speak more carefully."
"Every time I am on duty, Taoist Master Lingxu will come. He is a well-educated man with some abilities. The old lady has special trust in him.
The old slave is worried that Taoist Master Lingxu will say something unfavorable to the young lady."
"Is it bad for me?" Gu Yunyao's face was calm, but she was confused in her heart.
If a Taoist priest is against her, the most he can do is say something about killing someone, and just pretend to be a ghost.
But the question is, why? Why do you want to have trouble with this little girl like her?
"Miss is young, so I'm afraid she doesn't remember. Back then... before the general went on the expedition, the old lady asked Taoist Master Lingxu to see it. The Taoist priest once said that the miss was destined to bring evil spirits to her parents, so she asked the general not to go.
But how can the important matter of the expedition be changed with just one word? Besides, the general doesn't believe in these things at ordinary times, so he ignored it."
"Who knows..."
Who would have known that General Gu never came back.
Gu Yunyao frowned slightly, no wonder the old lady disliked her so much.
Yang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly put down her chopsticks, took Gu Yunyao's hand, and said seriously: "Ayao, no! Ayao is my mother's blessing."
Gu Yunyao's eyes heat up, and she understands that what Yang means is that Ayao is not a broom star, nor a person who can defeat her parents, but her blessing.
Aunt Hua also wiped her eyes: "Yes, Madam is absolutely right.
Our second young lady is more beautiful than ordinary children when she is born, and she can also smile, so she is blessed."
Yang nodded: "That's right."
Gu Yunyao learned a lot of news. When Nanny Hua left, she asked: "Do you know which maids in this house have innocent family backgrounds and can be used?"
Aunt Hua thought for a while and gave her several names.
"Thank you so much, mama. My mother and I will be very grateful in the future."
"Second Miss, you have spoken harshly, I will resign."
Gu Yunyao stood at the door, watching her back blend into the night, then turned around and returned to the hospital.
Yang felt sleepy after washing herself. In the past few days, Gu Yunyao had been massaging her head. She always felt more drowsy and less awake.
After coaxing her to sleep, Gu Yunyao went to Chaos Ring for a walk.
I did a few things for revenge today, and I got more medicines than yesterday.
She quickly took out what she needed and packed it away.
Then, I sat in front of the table and sorted out all the news I knew so far.
