Chapter 423 Smashing Things
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, her expression froze, and she stopped moving. She looked at the bloodless man in front of her, and her cold eyes seemed to want to swallow him up. She looked at the man in front of her and said coldly, "So, you are threatening me?"
Liu Quezi didn't take it seriously. He just felt that the air around him was a little cold. He shook his body, pulled his clothes tight, stood up, looked at Gu Yuanniang in front of him, and shouted, "So what if I'm threatening you? I tell you, if you don't take care of our cotton field today, I won't leave. I'll say that Song Wushao is a bully. Let's see what he's going to do."
"He was already demoted. If he continues to be demoted, I'm afraid there will be no more official positions for him to hold, right?"
As Liu Guizi spoke, he laughed triumphantly twice.
Gu Yuanniang disagreed. Village Chief Wang, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pulled Liu Quezi to say, "How can you threaten people with this? Besides, Mr. Song is a good official. This matter was originally consensual. Since Madam Xu is unwilling to look after the land for us, let's go."
Stationmaster Wang was about to pull Liu Quezi away as he spoke, but Liu Quezi angrily shook off Village Chief Wang's hand and simply sat down on a chair beside him. He drank all the tea in the cup, leaned back in the chair smugly, raised his chin, looked at Gu Yuanniang provocatively and said, "If you don't ask Xu Miaomiao to come and cure our illness today, I won't leave. You can do whatever you want."
Seeing the shameless look of the man in front of her, Gu Yuanniang was so angry that she laughed. She simply turned her head away and ignored him. She looked at him and said, "Since you want to sit here, then sit down. No matter how long you sit, no matter whether you are hungry or thirsty, we always have something here to fill your stomach."
After saying that, Gu Yuanniang shook her head, turned and left.
After a while, the accountant at the door was called over by Gu Yuanniang. Seeing the man sitting down at the door, Liu Guizi was still a little disapproving. He curiously poked his head to look at Gu Yuanniang at the door, wondering what she was going to do.
The accountant just sat down, picked up the pen and started to record.
Gu Yuanniang said loudly, "Sir, you must record everything these two people say and do when they come to our place. If they return with any unwarranted injuries, don't blame us then."
"Yes, yes, yes, we can do it, ma'am, don't worry, I will clearly record every word they say."
As the gentleman spoke, he bowed to Gu Yuanniang. When Liu Guizi heard this, he waved his hand, made a "Pooh" sound, and went back into the house.
Village Chief Wang was still trying to persuade her earnestly, saying, "Liu Quezi, what are you doing? Come back with me quickly. Since Madam Xu is unwilling to help me, we can think of other ways. Why should we rely on them? We were the ones who drove them out in the first place. If we go in and beg her again, how can I bear this?"
"That's you." Liu Quezi said as he looked at the village chief Wang in front of him angrily, disapprovingly: "I knew you couldn't bring yourself to do that, so when you came to ask Xu Miaomiao yesterday, you certainly didn't say anything nice. Today I'm here watching this woman, she's just a frivolous person, if you hadn't pushed her a few times, she would really think she's someone important. Now we're asking her to go and treat the land, to give her some face, so she can go back to their old house after treating the land, and you're still showing off to me, I want to see who can beat who."
As Liu Guizi spoke, he sat down on a chair. Village chief Wang walked around the room anxiously, but after looking at the man sitting there, he didn't say anything.
Gu Yuanniang didn't think much of it. Since he was willing to stay here, let him stay. She glanced at the man and turned to leave. Now, all the big and small matters in the mansion had to go through Gu Yuanniang before they could be taken care of. She also had other things that needed to be taken care of carefully.
After checking the bill with Xiao Si at the front desk and discussing this week's meals with Mr. Guan, Gu Yuan's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief and went back into the house to watch Erbao and Xiaobao write. It was now noon and the three children were tired. After lunch they took a rest on the chairs. Looking at them lying on the table, Gu Yuan's mother chuckled, pulled a blanket from the side, covered them, and gently coaxed the children in her arms.
The maidservant beside her wanted to help General Gu Yuanniang up, but she waved her hand and retreated. Now she had a rare opportunity to have so much time to be with her children, which she really wanted, so how could she give it to others?
Looking at the three children in front of her, Gu Yuanniang felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Oh no, Madam Gu, the gentleman in the hall smashed the Jade Dragon Cup."
Xiao Si, who was standing by, hurriedly went to Gu Yuanniang. When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she became angry and asked, "What sir?"
"It was the one with the crooked foot who smashed the Jade Dragon Cup into pieces."
"Jade Dragon Lamp?" When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she immediately stood up and looked around. Seeing the three children sleeping next to her, she motioned for Xiao Si to go out and talk.
Xiao Si was seen gesturing anxiously with Gu Yuanniang. They brought back the Jade Dragon Cup from the capital. It was said that it was given by Xu Miaomiao's good friend, so it had been kept in the hall as a display.
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she hurried to the hall, only to see that the originally clean hall was now covered in debris. Village Chief Wang was holding a few things in his hands, as if he was trying his best to resist Liu Quezi in front of him. However, Liu Quezi was now furious and threw things on the ground. The stools and chairs that were originally neatly arranged were all knocked to the ground. When he saw Gu Yuanniang coming, Liu Quezi stopped and pushed the chair next to him in anger, saying, "I'm telling you, if Xu Miaomiao doesn't come to see me again, I will smash your house to pieces."
Gu Yuanniang, however, didn't know that she had taken out an abacus from the teacher beside her, fiddled with it twice, and said, "The Jade Dragon Cup is fifty taels, these mahogany tables and chairs are fifty taels, and these porcelains are five hundred taels in total. I think it's not too much."
Xiao Xi, who was standing by, shook his head with all his strength: "Not too much, not too much. These are all the ladies. They bought them for more than five hundred taels!"
"Mother Gu Yuan, what do you mean by this?"
Liu Quezi asked dissatisfiedly from the side.
