Chapter 113 Can I go in and talk?(1/2)
The rouge box was particularly exquisite. When Lin saw it, his eyes lit up and said with a smile: "This porcelain box is exquisite."
When I opened the box, I saw the ointment printed in the shape of a hibiscus flower. I put it on the nose and sniffed it. I laughed more and more: "This tastes good, Ajiu really understands me."
She doesn't like the strong and fragrant incense, she only loves these light-tasting, as if there is, it is still reminiscent of people.
Seeing that Lin liked him, Gu Jiu's smile also increased a little: "It's good that my mother likes him. I'll take something else to choose for you another day."
After getting what she said, Lin suddenly smiled and waved his hand, "I am an old lady, why do I use so much fragrance? But you, the little girl should be more tender, and she should dress up more often in normal times, so don't always be so simple."
In fact, Gu Jiu was really not clean, but Lin was used to seeing the family's struggle for beauty. At this time, seeing Gu Jiu's appearance as peaceful as the world, he felt a little anxious.
You should dress up such a good color well, otherwise it would be a waste of resources?
Gu Jiu bent his lips and smiled, saying, "Yes, I will dress up when I turn around."
Hearing her words, Lin looked at her again and said with a smile: "But even though Ajiu looks so good, she looks very good."
To be fair, Gu Jiusheng is very good, his eyebrows, eyes, lips and teeth are all moving, and because she smiles before she speaks, the beauty becomes less and less aggressive.
The bright beauty is a bit weak.
Such a girl should be held in her hands.
Lin thought about it and sighed in his heart. No wonder the Gu family held Gu Jiu in their hand and felt loving. If this was his daughter, he would probably not be able to help but spoil others to heaven.
It’s a pity that I married into a dirty and dirty place like the Duke of Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately, Zheng'er was not like her father, and she looked at him carefully that day, and he was not completely ruthless to Gu Jiu.
Thinking of this, Lin couldn't help but smile a little more, and said softly: "You couple get married for a short time, and it's just a newlywed. Don't always stay with me, the old woman, if you have time to go and see Zheng'er."
As soon as these words were said, Gu Jiu's cheeks suddenly became hot, and he remembered the dream that night for no reason.
She coughed and tried to cover up the topic, and said with a smirk: "Don't worry, Mother, I know it."
Lin didn't know whether it was really clear, but the little girl's shyness at the moment was real.
Lin was satisfied. What the couple feared most was that they had no feelings and respect each other as guests, but they were afraid that they respect each other as much as ice.
Only by doing this can one live a perfect life if one has friendship with each other.
Thinking of this, she smiled and patted Gu Jiu's hand, and said softly: "Mother knows that you two are good, but this couple also needs to get along with each other, so that they will be better, don't you?"
She said this only clearly. Gu Jiu nodded randomly and lowered his eyes and said, "What my mother said."
Gu Jiu was afraid that Lin would say something else to make her blush, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Yes, I'm here today, I really want to ask you something."
Hearing this, Lin's smile remained unchanged, and he bent his eyebrows and said, "Ajiu said, what's the matter?"
Gu Jiu coughed, calmed down a little, and then asked, "Well, Linlang Pavilion, is your shop?"
Listening to Gu Jiu's words, Linshi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Linlang Pavilion?"
She has been in charge of things for many years and can't even remember the shops and other things in her hands. It was Gu Jiu who reminded her that she was on Chang'an Street, and she vaguely remembered it and nodded, "There is indeed such a shop, but now it should be your grandmother's people who are in charge."
She said this and smiled and said, "You know, I have never been in good health and I don't have the energy to care about those shops. In the early years, your grandmother said that someone would help me, but I couldn't control it at that time, so I agreed. I didn't pay attention to it these years, but now I think it must be in the hands of your aunt Fang."
Lin never minds these things outside of her body. She is of good background, but her health is not bad.
After getting married, the disease was caused by Qin Zheng and he was not very good at having a good relationship with his husband. In recent years, the Lin family gradually declined, but the Ming Duke's Mansion became increasingly stronger.
Lin did not want to make trouble because of things outside, so he never mentioned the shop again.
If Gu Jiu hadn't talked about it today, she would have almost forgotten this.
When he came before, Gu Jiu had this idea in his mind. Now when he heard Lin's words, he only had one thought in his mind.
It's true.
At that time, she guessed that if the shop was really from Lin's family, then judging from Lin's condition that she had not been a housekeeper for many years, it would probably have fallen into the hands of Fang Qing and the others as her dowry shop.
Seeing Gu Jiu's expression a little cold, Lin frowned for a moment and asked with concern: "What's wrong, but is there something wrong with that shop?"
Hearing this, Gu Jiu restrained the cold light in his eyes and laughed warmly: "It's okay, I just heard from the shopkeeper before that the shop seemed to be yours. He was chatting freely and asked casually."
When she said this, she smiled and added: "But the Linlang Pavilion has a good income, and it seems that it is well-managed. Although my mother is not in charge of the business, she makes money every day. It can be seen that you should be born to enjoy a prosperous life."
After hearing this, Lin couldn't help laughing, and felt relieved.
She thought something happened on the shop, which affected Gu Jiu.
Now that she got what she said, she said softly: "I do have monthly inputs here, but I can't use those, and they are all piled up in the warehouse to make you dust. But if you have a place to use money, just talk to your mother."
Lin said, his voice becoming softer: "Besides, although you, Aunt Fang and the others are in charge of this shop now, it is my thing, and it will definitely belong to you and your wife in the future, and no one can take it away."
The reason why she asked Fang Qing to take care of her now was that she was too old and didn't remember the matter of this shop, and the other was that the land deeds and other things were held in her hands.
Although Lin pursues the word "forbearance", some things are known to be unsuccessful. For example, Fang Qing and others want to draw money from it in the name of helping to manage it, and Lin can tolerate it; but the ultimate owner of this shop can only be her son and daughter-in-law.
No one can change this.
After hearing Lin's words, Gu Jiu was a little confused.
She didn't know if Lin was simple or too easy to fool.
Not to mention the present, just talk about the dowry and other things that Gu Jiu never saw in his previous life after Lin's death.
Of course, that has something to do with herself. After all, let alone Lin’s things, even Gu Jiu’s things were coaxed by Fang Qing and the others.
It's just that I'll do it again in this life, but Fang Qing doesn't think about getting what he wants.
As soon as Gu Jiu thought of this, he saw Qiaorui walking in from outside the door, but holding the tea leaves he had picked, and said with a smile: "I went back and thought about the tea that the young lady had drank these times. I brought it all over it. I just packed it for you. You can try it when you go back and try it. I will pack it for you and send it to you."
The tea matter was just an excuse, and Gu Jiu immediately smiled and thanked.
After receiving the tea, he spoke with Lin for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and said goodbye.
Lin smiled and kept her for dinner, but Gu Jiu refused: "There are two books left to read, so I really have to deal with it tonight. I'll come here to have dinner with you another day."
In fact, the account book didn’t matter. But Gu Jiuyi thought about Qin Zheng’s behavior after he had dinner with Lin’s two times before, and Qin Zheng was a little overwhelmed.
In addition to the dream she had before, Gu Jiu had one and two big heads. She had been hiding from Qin Zheng for two days, but she didn't want to meet the other person in Lin's place.
After hearing Gu Jiu's words, Lin didn't think much, just smiled and nodded, "It's okay, go and do it, come to my mother's place to sit for nothing."
After getting Lin's words, Gu Jiu naturally nodded and then turned around and went out.
When she came, she didn't bring her maid, so Lin asked Qiaorui to send her.
Gu Jiu refused, but when he saw that he could not refuse, he simply let Qiaorui send him out.
But after he could get out of Minglanyuan's gate, Gu Jiu slowed down and asked softly, "Qiaorui, I need something to ask you. Don't tell your mother after you go back."
Seeing that the young lady was serious, Qiao Rui also smiled and nodded, "Please speak for her young lady."
Gu Jiu looked around and no one was there before whispering: "Has my mother's dowry been paid to the family's public account?"
She had previously found some problems when she looked at the account books of the Duke of Ming Dynasty's Mansion. After all, although she was only looking at part of the periphery, the account books had already reflected the problem.
Those extra items that are unknown in terms of money and other items are incompatible with the salary and other items of the Duke's Mansion.
It comes from a large house, but not a man's salary, so there is only one source, that is, the Lin family.
After all, as a concubine, although Fang Qing was born into a great family, she not only did not have any dowry, but even the maids and servants were favored by the Duke's Mansion after they came to the Duke's Mansion.
After she asked Lin, she realized another thing. I am afraid that not only the shop was occupied by Fang Qing and the others, but even the silver, money and other items in Lin’s dowry were taken over by the Duke’s Mansion and used to subsidize the household income?
After hearing Gu Jiu's words, Qiao Rui was stunned at first, then bit her lip and said, "Why did the young lady remember to ask these questions?"
It’s not that she doesn’t want to say anything. Qiaorui is more willing to accuse anyone of them, but now she has to confirm what the young lady means.
Seeing Qiaorui's appearance, Gu Jiu thought for a while and said, "I want to seek justice for my mother, so I'll ask you."
The reason she didn't tell Lin before was because she knew Lin's current health and was unwilling to cause trouble for her, making her uncomfortable for these bad things.
But Qiaorui was different. She knew Qiaorui was a loyal servant.
But she didn't need Qiaorui to do anything, just confirm that she was right.
When she heard Gu Jiu's words, Qiao Rui looked Gu Jiu very seriously for half a day. She could not see any hypocrisy from the other party's face.
Be open and honest.
She suddenly understood why her wife liked this young lady.
"I believe you, so I can tell you what the young lady wants to know."
Hearing Qiaorui's words, Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, I'll just ask this one."
But from what Qiaorui said, maybe her mother-in-law has many secrets?
But that is someone else's secret, she respects it and will not inquire without authorization.
Qiaorui took a deep breath and told all the things Fang Qing took away on the excuses over the years. Finally, she said: "You know the virtues of Aunt Fang. She cooperated with the old lady to use both soft and hard. The wife was no match for them at all, and she was cheated of many money shops. Not all of this, but they also took away a lot of things from the small warehouse. I had advised the wife, but she didn't listen and didn't allow me to tell the prince."
In Lin's opinion, these are just external things. Besides, she is the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Ming Dynasty, and eating and drinking usually costs money. And Qin Zheng, as the prince, would he want to make the Duke of Ming Dynasty feel ashamed because of these things?
But Lin's heart does not mean that she is pretty. Seeing the things in her master's hand feeding the ungrateful wolf like flowing water, she was so angry that she wanted to scold the street.
But looking at the master's body again, I didn't dare to make trouble and make her angry.
Now that she had talked to Gu Jiu, she felt much more happy.
"Mrs. Young Madam, I will tell you all this today. If you can really seek justice for our wife, Qiaorui will repay you as a cow or a horse in the next life."
