Because he had already received the letter of their departure, Gu Qingling had already asked Ma Chen to clean up a few yards, and now he was just in time to move in.
The servants who came all the way with Uncle Yao were not sure about the situation here, so Mother Chen also made preparations and assigned several experienced maids to lead the way and help arrange the ceremony and other arrangements.
Gu Qingling lives in the main courtyard. The courtyard on the left is for the big room, the right for the second room, and the third room in order. The children in each room belong to their own room. As for Aunt Zhang, Aunt Chen and those girls who are not yet married, the young master
, all arranged some in the yard behind.
The difference from before is that Aunt Zhang and Aunt Chen are right next door, but Master Yao Liu, Miss Yao Qi, and Miss Yao Ba are arranged on the other side.
Obviously, this arrangement was to separate the two old aunts from the children.
When Aunt Chen saw her, she got into trouble: "Why should I live here? Where is Master Six? Shouldn't Master Six live next to me? Where are you going to take him..."
The housekeeper was followed by several powerful women, who stopped Old Aunt Chen. She said coldly: "The old lady has an order. You young masters are getting older. It's time to become independent. You need to be arranged separately."
.”
"What?!" Aunt Chen's eyes widened, "Is it the old pious woman's idea? I knew it must be the old pious woman's idea. She just wants to steal my son from me, right? She has both.
You have two sons, why should you rob my son?"
"The third child was won over by her and ran away. I only have one son left. Why would she want to snatch my son away?"
"Gu Qingling, you bitch, I'm not done with you!"
…
At this time, Aunt Chen had completely forgotten that Mr. Yao Liu was already in his teens and could get married. Who in the brain would rob such a big child?
If you want to rob, it should be when the child is just born. Before the child has grown up and has no memory, that is the best time to start.
It's a pity that Aunt Chen didn't expect that much. She only knew that after the smallpox incident, Mr. Yao suddenly separated from her for some reason.
Yes, Aunt Chen disliked this stupid son, but no matter how much she disliked him, he was still her own son. If Gu Qingling robbed her son, wouldn't he be snatching food from the tiger's mouth?
Aunt Chen was so angry that she tried to talk to Mr. Yao several times, but she was always being watched and couldn't find a chance. She could only watch as Mr. Yao got further and further away from her.
If it were in the past, the servants of the Yao family might still be concerned that Aunt Chen is the descendant of the earl and has given birth to two young masters of the Yao family. Even the old lady would give her three points, but it is different now. Now the old lady
Jun took care of her as he said, and left her in the care of Mrs. Yao for a long time. They had nothing to fear and simply followed their master's orders - if they dared to cause trouble, they would be put in solitary confinement.
A group of old women rushed over very fiercely, grabbed Aunt Chen's arms, hugged her thighs, and forcibly pulled her into the yard.
Except for a few people who were responsible for taking care of Aunt Chen, the others quickly receded like the tide.
Until then, Aunt Chen once again experienced what it meant to be "no response to the sky, no response to the earth".
"Gu Qingling, I'm not done with you!"
Her roar echoed over the courtyard.
This sound made Gu Qingling, who was taking care of her baby, frown and said to the maid next to her: "What's going on over there? It's so noisy?"
After a while, someone came over and replied, saying that Aunt Chen did not want to be imprisoned and was making trouble there.
"Noisy, what else does she do besides making noises all day long?" Gu Qingling asked, "Apart from her, where are the others?"
There are only two Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang in the Yao family. When Gu Qingling asked other people at this time, it was clear that he was asking Aunt Zhang.
The man lowered his head and replied: "Aunt Zhang has always understood the 'rules' better."
Gu Qingling: "..."
She really understands things better, but because she understands things so well, she always wants to take advantage of the Yao family's loopholes.
Auntie Chen makes troubles here and there, which makes people upset; as for Auntie Zhang, she usually doesn't make troubles, but when she does, she will make a big fuss for you, and she doesn't worry about anyone.
Gu Qingling waved her hand: "Madam, please be careful and don't let them come out to cause trouble again. I'm in a bad mood and don't have time to bother with them."
"Yes, old lady."
Mrs. Yao had just finished washing when a maid came over to talk and said that the old lady asked her to take good care of the two old aunts.
She also heard the voice of Aunt Chen just now. With a helpless look on her face, she said to her personal maid Xia Tao: "They have traveled so long and they don't know how tired they are. They started making trouble just when they arrived.
"
Xia Tao took a look at her face and decided to tell Mrs. Yao the news she had just found out.
She came forward and whispered.
Mrs. Yao looked surprised: "Really?"
"Yes!" The eldest maid Xia Tao nodded and said with a serious face, "It's true. When I first heard about it, I asked the maids on the old lady's side, the sixth master, the seventh miss, and the eighth miss.
The courtyard is indeed on one side, not next to the two old aunts."
She paused and continued, "Moreover, the outer courtyard has also left courtyards for several masters, including Master Hong and Master Yi, it seems."
"Not only that, the old lady also bought a big yard next to it, and it seems to be building something. The details are not clear, I only know that Sister Chun, who is beside the old lady, is watching it personally."
…
Just in the time it took to wash up, Xia Tao had already inquired about a lot of things. It is no wonder that she became a popular person in front of Mrs. Yao and became her right-hand assistant.
Of course, this was because Lu Qingling didn't hide it from anyone. If someone asked, he let the people below reveal his meaning.
Now that Gu Qingling has made a decision in his mind, he must let someone know which way the wind is blowing, so that he can know what to do.
There was only one child in the big house, Yao Anxin, so it was not Mrs. Yao's turn to worry about the outside courtyard. After listening to Xia Tao's report, she asked her to continue to inquire and tell her if anything happened.
Similarly, Mrs. Yao Er's side was also inquiring, and the maid Qiu He beside her was no less interested, and she found out a lot of things.
When Mrs. Yao Er heard about the outer courtyard, her expression suddenly changed: "What's going on? Why did the old lady suddenly want to set up an outer courtyard for several children?"
The eldest maid Qiu He shook her head: "I don't know, the time is too tight, and the information that can be inquired is limited. I only know that not long after the old lady arrived in Jinling, she asked the people below to prepare. Some time ago, the old lady went outside.
After resting for a while, he followed us back here..."
"Retreat?"
"Well! It seems that the old lady got a serious illness on the way here and almost died, so she had no choice but to rest. It is said that the old lady also picked up a child while she was resting, and now she has raised him
Now, everyone calls him 'Nine Young Masters'."
Mrs. Yao Er:?!
We haven’t seen each other for a few months, why is there so much going on around the old lady?!
