Chapter 81: I Can’t Stay in This Marquisate
Su Jin was making a lot of calculations in his mind.
The conclusion is that she can ask anyone to do it, but she won't do it anyway.
When she looked up again, Su Jin said with tears in her eyes, "Mother... ahem, I'm afraid I can't help you with my daughter-in-law's condition..."
"What are you talking about!" Zou said earnestly, "You are capable, everyone can see it. Besides, you are still the mistress, and you will have to take over sooner or later. If you take over now, at least I will be there to help you. It's better than me being away and you being in a mess!"
Su Jin: ...
Wait, let her think about it, when did the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion do that?
It seems that after dying after Gu Changqing, I don’t want to wait any longer. Since the Marquis’ Mansion is not a good place to lie down, I’ll just find another place to lie down.
"My daughter-in-law must do her best to take care of her health first..."
Yes, do your best to take good care of your body first. However, it is not certain whether your body can get better, and it will definitely not be of any help in the future.
Zou was indeed pleased to hear this.
Look, she said that the lady would definitely be grateful. Su Jin has long wanted to be a housekeeper.
"Well, take care of yourself first."
Zou treated her like her own daughter, sitting in front of the couch and asking about her well-being for a long time, and finally spoke awkwardly: "Madam, last time you said you wanted to buy my soap, I wonder if you still want it?"
Su Jin: ...
So now that you can’t sell them, you’re thinking about yourself?
But, why not?
She had used up all the oil from An Xiaoniang, and it was too much trouble to go out and buy oil and then come back to make the dishes. So she could use these as semi-finished products, which could save costs. As for the price, she naturally wanted to keep it as low as possible.
Su Jin nodded and offered another price. Zou felt that it was a bit low, but after thinking about it, it was considered to have saved the capital. Besides, Su Jin was so sick now, it was better not to let her get tired anymore.
After giving a few instructions, he was supported by Mother Wen and left.
As soon as everyone left, Yuchuan immediately closed the door. Su Jin also sat up, took the throat-soothing tea handed to him by Jinchuan and drank it all.
Gu Suiyu, who was watching the whole process, said: …
Mother!! Mother, what are you doing? ?
"Mother, what are you doing..."
"Humph, I knew that nothing good would happen when you come to my house."
Gu Suiyu: ...
"But, didn't mother always want to be a housekeeper?"
She didn't understand, her mother seemed to be really different now.
Su Jin smiled and said, "Sui Yu, there are some things you don't have to understand."
No need to understand, what does it mean?
Gu Sui Yu felt that he seemed to understand his mother less and less.
"Mom, I still want to learn more."
Su Jin pinched her brows and said casually, "You are already learning from Mr. Zhuzhi, what else do you want to learn?"
"I want to learn everything my mother can do, such as accounting, housekeeping, and business..."
Wow, this fourth girl is quite ambitious. Could it be that the scumbag dealt her too much of a blow?
But, butler, doing business and looking at the accounts?
Haha, my dear daughter, you are here to share your mother’s worries, right?
Su Jin waved her hand and said, "Jinchuan, show the shop accounts to the fourth lady. If she doesn't understand, you can teach her. In the future, when we check the shop accounts, you can go with Suiyu, and let her take care of the affairs in the yard."
If you teach one more person, wouldn't you be able to rest a little longer?
Su Jin had an unconcealable smile on her face, which attracted the attention of Jinchuan and Yuchuan. They thought that the lady was really good at being lazy.
It’s fine if you don’t care about the house, but now you don’t care about the yard either?
Su Jin nodded.
Of course not. She didn't even want to manage her own shop, let alone the Marquis' Mansion? ?
Besides, she didn't really want to stay in this house anymore.
It would be fine if Gu Changqing still didn't contact her as before, but she could clearly feel that this man's attitude towards her had subtly changed. It would be a pity to wait till the end, so she decided to think about what to do next.
It would be best if they could divorce amicably, but her husband's family is a marquis's mansion, which is more troublesome. Even if the power of the Hexi Su family is used, there must be a reason so serious that they can't live together anymore.
Even if I sue Gu Changqing for favoring his concubine over his wife, I have to submit evidence of that behavior. And looking at the entire Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, from the old lady to the servants, although they have complaints about me, it is not serious to the point where they fight every day. Most of the quarrels between the original body and Gu Changqing in the past were probably caused by the original body herself. As for the problems with her children Gu Zixuan and Gu Suiyu, she is also half responsible. After all, she is the mother.
As for the concubine Lin Wanhui, she hid herself very well and never revealed any clues. But she couldn't stand the excuse of disrespecting the mistress.
Su Jin lowered her head and pinched her forehead. She felt that she needed an opportunity.
Yuchuan came over immediately to help her with her thoughts. Su Jin calculated that if she left, she would not be able to return to her hometown in Hexi, mainly because the people in her house had changed, and she would be afraid of being exposed if she saw her old friends. It would be best for her to buy another house in the capital, buy some servants, and live a leisurely life alone.
Moreover, the capital city is so prosperous, with so many delicious foods and handsome guys, it would be a real pleasure to live here.
In the end, Su Jin decided to buy a house first, and then slowly buy furniture in it. During this period, he would plan an opportunity to leave the mansion and enjoy a life of leisure. Well, perfect.
"Where's Miss An?"
She called An Xiaoniang and told her, "If the old lady sends you soap, follow the method from last time, or just dissolve it and transform it into other types of soap. It will only be given to regular customers, not new customers."
Yuchuan was about to speak but stopped herself, and finally couldn't help but said, "But Madam, didn't you ask us not to send that girl off?"
"It's not a formal gift, that's fine!"
Yuchuan: ...
Okay, you have the final say.
Soon, the Peony Festival arrived.
Led by old lady Zou, the entire Yong'an Marquis's family went out, including Gu Changqing's concubine. There were dozens of people, and the horse-drawn carriages alone stretched across an entire alley. They also brought many maids and servants, and the group headed towards Jinming Lake in a mighty procession.
The two older brothers, Gu Zixuan and Gu Zilu, were riding tall and handsome horses, accompanying Su Jin's carriage. Their newly made moon-white robes outlined their youthful and tall figures, and they looked like young men in bright clothes and on vigorous horses. Against the bright color of late spring, they made people feel a lot more relaxed.
At this time, the Jinming Lake was already crowded with people. The rich and powerful would not crowd with ordinary people. As soon as they came in, they got on the pleasure boats. The Jinming Lake was dotted with large and small pleasure boats. The imperial flag was also hung on the Baojin Tower not far away. It seemed that the emperor had also come out for fun today.
Lin Wanhui pulled her daughter along and looked around on the side of the boat, saying happily, "That's the flower boat of the Yin Mansion. Where's the Prince Consort's Mansion? Ruyu, I heard that the eldest son of the Grand Princess is also very good!"
"Over there, over there is the palace's flower boat, Ruyu, being a princess wouldn't be bad!"
Lin Wanhui became happier and happier as she watched, but Gu Ruyu's eyes were looking towards the direction of Baojin Tower, where a golden imperial flag was hung and a nine-clawed flying dragon was hovering among the cloud patterns, displaying its majesty and dominance.
Gu Ruyu couldn't help but ask, "Mother, if I dance on the flower boat, can Baojin Tower also see me?"
