Chapter 373 Don't Blame
Chapter 373 Don't Blame
Those who didn't have a contract, Gu Gu broke his leg and threw out the ancestral house, letting go... If anyone in Shuoyang City dared to use them and their family members, it would be against the Zhen Guo Princess Mansion!
Not only that, the wives, maids, and servants who signed the body contract, Gu Gu also did a round of cleaning, killing those who were killed, selling those who were sold, and notifying all the old women, maids, and servants in Shuoyang City. To buy a new batch of maidservants and servants, there is a lot of movement and speed.
Gu Gu made up his mind to clean up the inside and outside of the ancestral house before Bai Qingyan and his party came back.
It just so happened that today was the day when all the women in the city and Ren Yazi brought people to the ancestral house. I always thought that since the eldest girl is back, if the eldest girl is free, I just let the eldest girl take a look.
Gu Gu took the steward and loyal servant who came back from the capital with Lu Ping earlier, and stood outside the magnificent ancestral house waiting for Bai Qingyan to drive.
Seeing the carriage regulated by the princess coming slowly from a distance, Gu Gu looked happy, and hurriedly walked down the high steps with a group of loyal servants on crutches.
Quite a few curious people also stopped and stayed, looking at the four-horse carriage, which is rare in Shuoyang City.
The carriages and horses stopped, and Gu Gu walked to the carriage with his cane. Seeing that Chuntao was helping Bai Qingyan to get out of the carriage, he hurriedly propped himself up on his cane and knelt down and kowtowed: "The old slave welcomes the princess..."
The loyal servants of the Bai family who followed Gu Gu also stepped forward and kowtowed: "Welcome to the princess!"
Even though Bai Qingyan had already told everyone in the Bai Mansion that she was still called a big girl, but there are so many people watching here, and it is in Shuoyang, so the etiquette cannot be ignored!
Otherwise, if even their loyal servants of the Bai family were not polite to Bai Qing outside, wouldn't the family members have an excuse to be disrespectful and despise their eldest daughter?
How could Bai Qingyan not know Gu's intentions, Gu Gu was helping her to build up her prestige.
She walked up to Gu Gu and helped Gu Gu up: "Get up, Gu Gu is the elder who performed this great gift... It's a shameful speech."
Gu Gu was full of smiles, and asked in a low voice: "Is your journey safe, Miss?"
There have been frequent bandits recently. Hearing that Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi came back alone, Gu Gu was really worried for several days.
"Don't worry, Gu Gu, there are two guards from the Prince's Mansion, and the journey will be very safe." Bai Qingyan turned her head and looked at the imposing red lacquered door of the ancestral house in Shuoyang.
There are six open gates, red lacquer red pillars, two stone lions taller than people stand on both sides, red walls and green tiles, embroidered doors and carved pots.
After so many generations, the Bai family has repaired and expanded the quaint Bai family's ancestral house to become more and more magnificent. Although it cannot be compared with the princes and nobles in the capital city, it is already hard to find in Shuoyang City.
"The eldest girl came back this time to take care of the family affairs?" Although Gu Gu is old, he has a clear eye and a clear heart. Originally, he was going to return to Shuoyang from Dadu on the first day of May, but Bai Qingyan came back at this time. It is to clean up the clan.
"To be honest with the ancients, Qingyan wants to open the ancestral hall to change the patriarch." Bai Qing said.
The old patriarch paused, then nodded, the current patriarch is indeed becoming more and more unsightly, and his temperament is exactly the same as that of the patriarch's deceased mother.
Gu Gu grew up with Bai Weiting since he was a child, and he knows the patriarch's mother very well. The concubine of a rich family has learned a lot of things that make people look down on her. Under the name of the aunt, the Bai family absolutely cannot make her the wife of the head of the Bai family.
"Miss, do you mean to make a big noise?" Gu Gu followed Bai Qingyan leisurely while leaning on a cane, and asked carefully.
"There are the ancestors of the Bai family, the rules of the Bai family, and even more family rules. We act according to the rules. Today, most of the people in the clan will be expelled, and so will the patriarch's family..." Bai Qingyan paused and stood up. In the courtyard, he said, "If the clansman refuses to agree, I will take the Bai family to sue the ancestors for leaving the clan, and stop the loss in time."
"What the clansmen rely on is nothing more than Dadu's Bai family. It used to be the king of the town, but now you are the princess of the town!" Gu Gu laughed, no one knew the heart of the clansman better than Gu Gu, "They definitely won't do it for the patriarch. Abandon you, the princess! And this old servant heard that... this time the eldest girl came back, the crown prince even sent someone to support her, so the tribe will not be willing or dare to lose such a big tree like you."
As he said that, Gu Gu saluted Bai Qingyan respectfully: "The old slave has been in the Bai family all his life, managed the accounts all his life, and carefully kept the accounts that are sent back to Shuoyang every year. If this matter happens, the eldest girl will be useful. , don't be polite."
Gu Gu's words mean that if you need to reconcile accounts... you can call him over.
In the past, the patriarch secretly coveted the money sent back to Shuoyang by the Bai family, and the Bai family turned a blind eye when they found out, thinking that it would be hard work for the patriarch to take care of the tribe.
But Gu Gu thinks this is a huge excuse. After all, in the generation of the grandson of the king of the town, the heirs are prosperous. Gu Gu still thinks about the future. The position of patriarch still needs to be in the hands of the orthodoxy, so there must be a good reason Come and depose the patriarch.
Later, the grandson of King Zhen was gone, and Gu Gu thought that these accounts were useless, but he didn't expect that the eldest girl would abolish the patriarch today, so he took out these accounts to help the eldest girl.
"At that moment, it will be hard work." Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
Gu Gu looked at the restrained and gentle Bai Qingyan in front of him, his eyes couldn't help turning red, everyone said that most of the Bai family's men were dead, and the Bai family was going to collapse!
However, their eldest daughter shouldered the burden of the Bai family. The state banquet impassionedly told the loyalty of the Bai family. Deal with Xinwang.
Ask the world, who can have such boldness? !
Only most of them are girls from the Bai family!
The day and night when the eldest girl went to southern Xinjiang, she couldn't sleep for a long time. She prayed to the King of Zhen, the Duke of Zhen, and the generals of the Bai family to protect Bai Qingyan and return safely.
But their eldest daughter not only returned safely, but also returned with glory. She defeated Xiliang and forced Nanyan to retreat. The eldest daughter of their family fulfilled the wish that all the men of the Bai family failed to achieve during their trip to southern Xinjiang.
Ancient... and glorious.
If anyone says that women are not as good as men, Gu Gu will be the first to say no.
"No hard work! I, an old man, am very happy to be able to contribute to the Bai family and the girl." Looking at Bai Qingyan with ancient wet eyes, "If King Zhen is still alive and can see such a big girl, it must be... ...will definitely be happy!"
Gu Gu couldn't hold back his tears when he said that, he turned sideways and wiped his tears with his sleeves, and covered it up with a low laugh: "I'm old...there is this problem of crying against the wind, don't blame the eldest girl."
The third update is here! Roll around every day and ask for a monthly pass!
