Mrs. Lin believed that the Second Young Master Gu would really sell all the belongings of their family for money. Mrs. Lin had no choice but to give the Second Young Master Gu a silver note of 500 taels and said, "Since you are going to visit your hometown, I have prepared another 100 taels of silver notes and 20 taels of change for you."
Gu Xingyan said: "This is all we have?"
Mrs. Lin wiped her tears and said, "Husband, you can ask my eldest brother how much money my third brother spent on marrying the princess." If her man could ask Young Master Gu this question, Mrs. Lin would ask to leave the marriage!
Gu Xingyan was a person who never asked about or cared about money. But now that Mrs. Lin was crying, he was a little undecided and said, "We can't have only this much property, right?"
Mrs. Lin started crying and said, "My husband, you have gone to the countryside, and I am staying in the capital with Xu'er. Xu'er's toys and snacks, the things we gave to our grandparents and mother, which one of them doesn't require us to pay for it ourselves? How are we going to live our lives in the future?"
Gu Xingyan sat there for a long time without saying anything.
Madam Lin secretly glanced at Second Young Master Gu's expression and suggested, "Third Brother has quite a bit of money, how about..."
"Okay," Gu Xingyan said when she heard Mrs. Lin's words, "Don't worry about the princess's money. Have I ever asked for your dowry?"
Mrs. Lin stopped talking.
Gu Xingyan said: "Isn't there still 120 taels?"
Mrs. Lin walked to the luggage packed for Gu Xingyan and took out one hundred taels of silver notes and twenty taels of change.
Gu Xingyan took a look at the banknotes and money that Mrs. Lin had placed on the table and said, "Keep this money for your use."
"Husband!"
Gu Xingyan took the five hundred taels of silver and strode out of the bedroom.
Mrs. Lin fell into a chair, looked at the money on the table, and suddenly covered her face and cried. Of course she still had money, but she couldn't take it out. She had to plan for the future of their family and their son. Without money, how would they live in the future?
Gu Xingyan ran back to the old man's study. At this time, the doctor had already gone downstairs to write a prescription for Mr. Gu.
The old man said to Gu Xingyan: "It's just right that you're here. Send your brother back to his room."
Gu Xingnuo said: "Grandfather, I'd better wait for Xinglang and the princess to come back."
"The doctor said your injury is serious," the old man shook his head and said, "I'll wait for them to come back, you go and rest."
Gu Xingyan became anxious when he heard the old man's words and asked, "Is the injury serious?"
The old man waved his hand at Gu Xingyan and said, "Send your brother back to his room. The doctor should be here soon."
Gu Xingyan hurriedly took two servants and carried Gu Xingnuo back to the room.
Gu Xinglang and Yu Xiaoxiao returned to the mansion at this time. As soon as the Third Young Master Gu entered the mansion, he felt that the atmosphere at home was a little strange, and asked the steward who came out to greet him, "Did something happen?"
The steward had already been instructed by the old man and Gu Xingnuo. When he heard Gu Xinglang's question, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Third Young Master, the marshal is still waiting for you and the princess in the study."
Gu Xinglang turned his head to look at Yu Xiaoxiao who looked listless and said, "You go back to your room first. I'll go back after seeing my grandfather."
Yu Xiaoxiao yawned and said, "I'll go see Grandpa too. It's not good if I don't say goodnight, right?"
The old man heard in the study that the third son and his wife had returned, so he quickly ordered someone to prepare a midnight snack for Gu Xinglang and Yu Xiaoxiao.
When Yu Xiaoxiao saw the old man, she shouted, "Grandpa, we are back."
The old man waved for his grandson's wife to sit down. Looking at Yu Xiaoxiao's face, it was just as Gu Xingnuo said. His grandson's wife was also tired this time. "Eat something and go to bed later," the old man said to Yu Xiao, "Are you very tired?"
"Not tired," Yu Xiaoxiao was so tired that she wanted to die, but she still shook her head to the old man.
The old man looked at Gu Xinglang again. After all, the old man did not tell Young Master Gu about the family matters.
Gu Xingyan sent his eldest brother back to his room, took out the five hundred taels of silver notes, put them on the bedside table, and said, "Brother, this is not a lot of money, you can use it as you see fit."
Gu Xingnuo glanced at the banknotes on the bedside table and said, "Did you ask your sister-in-law for money?"
Young Master Gu said, "My family is waiting for money, and I won't give a penny?"
Gu Xingnuo sighed. They were going to spend a lot of money. What could they do with these five hundred taels? "Okay," Young Master Gu said to his brother, "You don't have to worry about the money. Take this money back to your brother's wife."
Gu Xingyan was unhappy and said, "Brother, do you think the money is too little?"
"You're talking nonsense again," Gu Xingnuo said, "Why do I need your money?"
Gu Xingyan said: "You can use it. Don't Lao Wu and the others need to spend money?"
"This is a family matter," Gu Xingnuo said, "Take the money back. Our family has not yet reached the point where we need your private property."
"Don't lie to me," Gu Xingyan sneered, and said, "My wife said that our family has no money anymore."
"She's the housekeeper?" Young Master Gu asked unhappily, "Does she know how much money the family has?"
"My wife stays at home every day, how could she not know what's going on at home?" Gu Xingyan admitted his mistake and said, "If you don't want this money, just throw it away."
"I can't control you now, can I?" Gu Xingnuo was about to get angry again.
Gu Xingyan ran away, and asked him to take the money back? No way!
Mrs. Sun saw that Second Young Master Gu had left before she walked into the bedroom, looked at the banknotes on the bedside table, and said, "Did his second uncle send money?"
Gu Xingnuo nodded and said, "After he and his grandfather leave Beijing, you can find a chance to return the money to your second brother and his wife."
Mrs. Sun replied with a "yes", sat down on the edge of the bed, and said, "I also heard about what happened to Lao Wu and the others."
Gu Xingnuo said: "You arranged the meal?"
Mrs. Sun nodded.
Gu Xingnuo said: "I'll find a way to deal with this matter."
Madam Sun took out a small wooden box from her sleeve and opened it in front of Master Gu. Inside was fifteen hundred-liang silver notes. Madam Sun whispered, "Here are fifteen hundred liang. Take it, my husband."
"you?"
"My husband will definitely take care of these old soldiers, right?" asked Mrs. Sun.
Gu Xingnuo nodded and said, "Of course I have to take care of it."
"I still have a lot of jewelry," Mrs. Sun said, "I will ask someone to appraise the price and sell it tomorrow."
Gu Xingnuo wanted to say no, but they were really in urgent need of money.
"I won't pawn it," Mrs. Sun said with a smile, "My husband, you have to earn money quickly and come home so that I can redeem these jewelry."
Gu Xingnuo reached out and held Madam Sun's hand.
"No matter what, let's solve the urgent problem first," Madam Sun helped Young Master Gu straighten his messy hair and said softly, "The family still has money for food. We can't let Old Wu and his family starve to death. Winter is coming, and life at the border will be difficult. My husband, you have to come up with a plan as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed."
Gu Xingnuo sighed, hugged Madam Sun in his arms, and whispered, "Thank you."
