Chapter 106 Homely Words
"Then keep on eating. It happens that the weather is cold and it's time for nourishment. It's a big crime to flee famine all the way. Grandpa is getting old, and the aunts can't make a lot of nourishment. Just slowly warming up can still be used."
Li Yu walked all the way and talked to Gu Lei.
"Er Yueer said before that the girls in the aunt's yard were not dedicated and very loose. You have to worry about this matter. You should reward or beat you on weekdays. You can't ignore it. Auntie has a gentle temper, and the people below will inevitably bully others."
"Look, I'm worried about her, so I chose a servant girl again. My grandfather put it in front of an old nanny, so I can't wrong my mother. Now my third aunt is the housekeeper, and my second aunt is the assistant."
"Hey, why did you change?"
Li Yu is too busy these days to ask.
Gu Lei looked around, and the girl was far away, so he leaned closer and whispered to her ear, "My second aunt is greedy for money, and took away the money from the clan. Although the account is fair, the older generation is so smart, they can dig it out right away." Yes, my second uncle was fined to kneel in the ancestral hall, and my grandpa let the third aunt be the housekeeper when he got angry, and it is her credit for not letting the second aunt remove the housekeeping power."
"Don't ask or mention it, save some face for the elders, the family will be harmonious and everything will be prosperous, Grandpa Gu can punish you, you can't watch the elders joke."
Li Yu quickly reminded Gu Lei.
Gu Lei is wearing plain light blue today, and it is time to wear light colors after the heavy filial piety period.
His face is fair and handsome, and he looks very elegant and gentle in light colors, giving him a more noble temperament.
"I know, didn't I just tell you this."
"You are not strict with your mouth, and people will hear that you are not cautious."
"Don't be cruel to me, it's Chinese New Year, don't teach others."
Gu Lei held her hand and squeezed it, saving me some face.
"Okay, let's not talk about you. Has the mine started? There was no cook in the past, and the house hasn't been finished yet."
"It's almost the end of the day. It's cold and I can't build a house. I'll use tents to make a living. The soil is frozen and I can't build a house. Let's talk about spring. I arranged for a few women to cook."
"Let the miners work in batches during the day and give them time to rest. No bad news can be spread. How many people are staring at us. Now we are grabbing food on other people's hills, and we will keep an eye on every sign of trouble."
"I know, three shifts during the day to eat and rest, no work at night so that you can have a good rest, the wages are also suitable, there is at least one dish with meat in the dishes every day, and there is a pure meat dish every few days, eat Don’t worry, every month a doctor will go to see a doctor, and I will personally watch over it.”
"Well, after the new year, you and my brother are going to work in front of the King of the Night. Be careful, work more and talk less. There is one way, and you can’t go wrong if you are cautious in your words and deeds.”
"I know the seriousness. The whole family expects me to succeed, and I won't act recklessly."
"How many people are in the army?"
Li Yu asked about the situation.
"My eighth uncle went to my uncle and led a team alone. At present, there are not many people from the Gu family, so it is not easy to compete with others for food."
"Take your time, the Night King needs someone, and this is our opportunity."
"The imperial examination will be held next year, but it is only under the jurisdiction of the Night King. I want to let the boys in my family try it."
"Try it, it's okay to have a field trip to explore the way."
After saying this, he entered the room and sat down to speak after saluting.
"The bigger Yu'er is, the more beautiful she is. Sister-in-law, you are very lucky. Is Yu'er still studying in your Royal Academy?"
Wang said with a smile, "I won't go after this year, I plan to learn from me at home with high eyebrows and low eyes. Her uncle and grandma love her and let her learn about family affairs, and she will also take care of her younger siblings. The family is a mess. Chaos, no one in front of me opens her eyes, let her come and learn."
"That's right. I heard that Yu'er bought another boat. Her grandmother really loves her. She gave her all the dowry, and didn't leave any for her younger brothers. Is her second aunt's property also in front of her?"
Second Aunt Gu's question is a bit nosy.
"It's in her hands. Brother Xu is still young. At the beginning, my siblings and I bought the property near Linqi. Almost all the people have come. Now they are all under the orders of Brother Rui and Yu'er. When Brother Xu grows older, You can learn general affairs when you are ten years old, but now you have to study first."
"Oh, they are all dowry and not young or old."
Second Aunt Gu means that Brother Xu is also dowry.
Li Yu frowned, "Brother Xu, I will take care of one or two things for him for the time being. It has nothing to do with the dowry. Auntie, you made a mistake. My grandfather arranged everything in charge earlier, and it has nothing to do with my dowry. I will take care of it." If you don't leave, you will be the companions of the Li family and my aunt."
I'm holding my breath. As for me wanting to covet Mo's younger brother's property, there are still elders in the family, so it's my turn to think about it.
"My uncle bought a big boat for her and Brother Xu separately, and she is not short of money. In the future, my aunt will still have a dowry for her, so why should I ask Brother Xu?"
Gu Lei shook his head, you are narrow-minded, and you narrow others.
"Oh, that was my misunderstanding."
Second Aunt Gu smiled embarrassingly.
Third Aunt Gu frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
This question was asked abruptly, but it was actually a knock on the mountain. Gu Lei had some extra banknotes from Lin Yue in his hand, so he bought a boat for Lin Yue and Brother Xin and took the Xie family to earn some money. There are many, many in the capital, and now they have suffered a lot.
The industries in the capital that did not come over were almost all detained, and the new emperor's food was a bit ugly.
The third aunt has no money, and Brother Xin will definitely suffer. Gu Lei loves his younger brother, so if he has money, he hasten to pull out his brother first. This matter is also discussed with the third aunt. The second aunt has a concubine but no son, only a daughter.
What Gu Lei meant was that my sister is not in a hurry, she is still young, and she will not be wronged by a dowry in the future.
This matter may make the second aunt feel uncomfortable.
At noon, I ate noodles at the Gu family. Li Yu and the elders of the Gu family are also familiar with each other. They grew up watching her and liked her very much, and they are very close to each other.
"Yu'er, are you going to return to Li's family school after the next year?"
"That's right, my mother asked me to take care of my younger brothers and sisters. I should also learn to have high eyebrows and low eyes. I can't know nothing, and I don't know the price of rice."
"It's still your mother who can do it. With a good girl like you, the girls in my family can't do anything."
The old lady of the Gu family sighed and complained about the second aunt.
"Then you teach, follow behind you and start to learn slowly."
"This is the only way to go now. There is no clan wife to teach us. After all, we have fallen to the next level. We are also old. When there are inevitable omissions, we are afraid that the children will be delayed."
"Don't be afraid, you old people unite together, let the girls and boys learn from you, you use your words, let the girls be your eyes, and the boys will run errands for you, and you will learn if you do more things."
"Hey, your method is quite unique."
"Just make a pot of porridge and let them go and do it. If you make a lot of mistakes, you will learn. If you don't do it, you don't know what you did wrong. Make all the big and small ones move. I learned this trick from Wang's family, from the school. The children have to follow the work, and they will naturally understand after doing more."
"That's right, our family has to learn too. I'll talk to the old man later."
The old lady nodded in conviction.
