What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Chapter 244: Moving things in room 2 is exhausting

Gu Xi knew that they must have a lot to say, and he just didn't want to explain to them, so he just slipped away.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Nanny Yun coming over with an angry look on her face. When she saw Gu Xi, she asked:

"Sister Xi, is the Madam in the house?"

Gu Xi said:

"Mammy, my mother is inside, but it's not convenient for you to go in now. Please tell me what's going on."

Nanny Yun was surprised. Is it inconvenient for Madam?

But she didn't think much about it, she said angrily:

"Sister Xi, the Second Master and Second Madam are too much. The things that were confiscated from the Gu Mansion were returned by the court, but they actually moved all of them to the Second House."

"Because the warehouse of the second house couldn't hold all the things, they also occupied the old master's yard. I just asked the second master to return the things of the first house, but he actually said that those were awarded to the second house by the palace and had nothing to do with us. This is really unreasonable and too dark."

Gu Xi's eyes turned cold, then he smiled and said:

"Mammy, don't worry, just let them move it. It's not their own stuff, so they have no right to enjoy it. It's a waste of effort to move it."

The second room can move at will, and when they all move back, Gu Xi can catch them all at once, which will save a lot of trouble.

Seeing that Gu Xi was very calm, although Nanny Yun was confused, she didn't say anything.

The eldest lady is a very capable person. If she says I can’t interfere, then I won’t interfere.

Gu Xi walked towards the gate. Chu Zhao leaned against a tree with his arms folded, cracking melon seeds, and watched the people from the second house busying around, going in and out, moving things and sweating profusely.

"Hey, coachman, come here and help move things!" Li pointed at Chu Zhao and shouted.

Chu Zhao said lazily:

"I am a coachman. I only drive the carriage. Moving things is charged separately."

The Ministry of Revenue did arrange for more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages to send the things back, but Li was too stingy. She had lived in poverty for the past six months and was very greedy for copper coins. She refused to reward the coachmen and servants. They just unloaded the things at the gate and left.

Now there are only Gu Yunze, Li, Gu Wei, Gu Chao and two concubines left in the second house. They can only move together and move by themselves.

Gu Wei, relying on her noble status as she would soon be the master of the palace, stood by and gave orders.

Li's eyes were fierce and he cursed angrily:

"If you don't work, then sell it!"

Chu Zhao slowly ate another melon seed and said:

"Do you have my indenture? If not, trafficking a good boy is a serious crime."

Li was so angry that her teeth were itching. She looked at the two servants standing upright at the door.

This was a servant bestowed by the emperor, so she did not dare to be too arrogant. She forced a smile and said:

"Two little brothers, please help me move the things down."

The two servants didn't even look at her, they all had a mission to accomplish. Their mission was to guard the gate and record everyone coming in and out. What if they went to help move things and didn't do a good job?

Emperor Jichang sent a total of ten people, working in two shifts, to guard all the entrances and exits of Gu's house, and each person performed his or her duties.

Seeing Gu Xi coming over, Li hurried to move things and asked Gu Wei to keep an eye on Gu Xi, for fear that Gu Xi would come to snatch things.

Gu Xi chuckled:

"Second Aunt, that box looks heavy. You should be careful not to hurt your waist."

"Ouch!" Just as Gu Xi finished speaking, Li's waist twisted and it hurt.

She glared at Gu Xi fiercely, what a jinx!

Then he limped inside, holding the box.

In the Gu Mansion, the main courtyard in the middle is where General Gu lives, the courtyard on the east belongs to the eldest branch, and the courtyard on the west belongs to the second branch.

Now the second house has occupied the main courtyard, with half of the things being sent to the west courtyard and the other half being moved to the main courtyard.

Chu Zhao seemed to be idle and eating melon seeds, but in fact he had already figured out all the places where the second room stored things, so that A Xi could "receive the goods" faster.

At dusk, Gu Xi's family sat together to eat.

Gu Yunqing stared at Gu Xi again and again.

When he heard from his wife that Xier was the actor playing the role of the Imperial Master Qi Dasheng, he was shocked beyond words.

Zhou Qing said before that it was the National Master who came forward to help the Gu family redress their injustice. He was very grateful to the National Master and had also heard of some of the National Master's deeds.

He never expected that the national teacher who destroyed the Turks and was able to call the wind and rain was actually his own Xier.

Gu Xi was worried because his father was not as easy to deceive as his mother.

Sure enough, after dinner, everyone was sent out, and Gu Yunqing and Qi called Gu Xi to the inner room of the room alone.

"Xier, thank you for your hard work in rehabilitating the Gu family." Gu Yunqing said solemnly.

Xier said that he and his father did divine things in heaven, and he already knew it.

Although he didn't understand why his wife said so confidently that she saw him in the sky, he suspected that Xier had performed some magic trick in order to get him into the army.

"Dad, this is what I should do." Gu Xi smiled guiltily.

She certainly couldn't let her father know that she had hired an actor to impersonate him.

If his father knew that his mother called someone else "husband", he would beat her.

Gu Yunqing's expression eased:

"Xi'er, Dad knows you have a secret. If you don't want to tell us, then we won't ask. Dad just wants to remind you that being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. You are now a first-rank official and have the title of Duke. It's too dazzling. His Majesty is suspicious by nature and will not tolerate people who are too successful to be threatening him. You must be careful."

The Gu family has the most say in this regard, as the unjust case half a year ago was a bloody lesson.

Gu Xi felt relieved and decided not to ask.

"Don't worry, Daddy. I know what I'm doing."

Seeing that his daughter's eyes were clear and her expression was determined, Gu Yunqing knew that she was a person with her own ideas, so he stopped asking questions.

After Gu Xi left, Qi asked:

"Brother Qing, don't you want to ask what Xi'er's secret is?"

Gu Yunqing shook his head and said:

"Lan'er, Xi'er is a person with her own ideas. No matter what her secret is, let's not ask anymore. If it is a secret that cannot be told, it will bring danger to Xi'er if we know it. As long as she is safe, it's fine."

The couple chatted and stayed together that night. Others didn't know, but Nanny Yun was terrified.

It would be fine if the madam allowed the servants to eat at the same table, but why, why did the housekeeper stay in the madam's room?

Amitabha!

She has to help the lady guard the door.

West yard.

Gu Yunze and Gu Chao collapsed on the ground, their clothes soaked with sweat, and they didn't want to move at all.

Li rubbed her waist and lay on the bed in pain.

Aunt Mei and Aunt Ju were not in much better condition. They both sat on the doorstep, panting heavily.

But looking at the piles of antique paintings, shop deeds, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin...

The whole family was delighted. They were tired but happy at the same time.

Although some of the money was certainly embezzled by those who confiscated the property, the sum taken back was not a small amount, and their days of luxury were back!

Although the family members were physically exhausted, their hearts were full of hope, and everyone felt that their life was about to reach its peak.
