After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Su Xuanming was in a daze and couldn't help asking, "Mother, what did you say just now?"

Gu Nanxi looked Su Xuanming up and down before speaking, "I'm asking Jingniang, how much gold do you plan to give me as a gift? You must weigh hundreds of pounds, so you can't be cheap."

Su Xuanming was happy that his mother finally gave in, but he also felt that there was something wrong with the matter, and he just felt uncomfortable in every way.

"Mother, how can you ask Jingniang for things?" Su Xuanming leaned close to Gu Nanxi's ear and whispered.

Gu Nanxi raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Your brothers and sisters can accept it, but I can't? Do you look down on me?"

Gu Nanxi did not lower her voice when she spoke, so that everyone could hear her clearly, causing the guests to whisper to each other for a moment.

Su Xuanming was so embarrassed that he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

Jingniang, on the other hand, quickly calmed down and said, "The gifts given to the second young master and the young lady are just small things. I can't be impolite when giving you a serious gift. I will send it to you after my father and I have carefully checked it."

Gu Nanxi nodded with satisfaction and held Jingniang's hand: "I know you are a very good woman. My eldest son has a kind heart and high standards. He is attracted to you because you have outstanding qualities."

Jingniang was very shy: "Madam, you are too kind."

Jingniang's heart was in turmoil. The marquis's wife valued Su Xuanming very much and she used her connections to get Su Xuanming admitted to Songshan College, the top private school in Beijing.

Could she agree to what happened between me and Su Xuanming so easily? !

Is there a back-up plan?

Gu Nanxi held his forehead and sighed, "Alas, my body is weak. I couldn't hold on after working so hard for several days. The old lady is old, and I can't bear to let her work so hard. My daughter is still young and can't handle this mess either."

Jingniang's eyes widened at first, and then she inquired in disbelief: "So what do you want?"

Gu Nanxi patted Jingniang's hand with satisfaction, and said with relief: "God has mercy on me and sent you. You have worked hard, so take on this responsibility. Just consider it as practice for the future."

The huge surprise overwhelmed Jingniang's mind.

She knew that this was against etiquette and rules.

But being able to take care of the old marquis's funeral means that she will definitely be the clan's wife in the future!

Such a big pie fell from the sky, who wouldn't be dizzy?

Jingniang nodded repeatedly: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"

With someone in charge, Jingniang was soon called away by servants and buried in a pile of trivial matters.

Su Xuanming stood there like a stupid goose.

Gu Nanxi glared at him unhappily: "Why don't you go help Jingniang? She can take care of the women's affairs. But does she have to show up for the man in the front yard?"

Su Xuanming finally reacted and nodded repeatedly. Before leaving, he turned around and kowtowed to Gu Nanxi: "Mother, I... I didn't know that compared to the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, my happiness is more important to you."

After saying that, Su Xuanming straightened his back and went outside.

Gu Nanxi pursed her lips embarrassedly. Hey, this silly child has such a good imagination.

I just feel that making a fuss is too tiring, so I want to calm things down as soon as possible.

As for arranging Jingniang and Su Xuanming to handle the funeral, it was purely because I didn't want to work!

In my previous life, at least I got overtime pay for working overtime.

In this life, working less means earning!

"Mother, why would you rather give such an important thing to outsiders than to me?" Su Yunyan pouted, hugged Gu Nanxi's arm, shook left and right, and almost shook Gu Nanxi to the ground.

Gu Nanxi held the armrest of the stool tightly and gasped in pain.

The place where his arms were hugged felt like it was being pinched tightly by a pair of iron clamps. If it was pinched any longer, he would stop bleeding!

This little girl is very cute, but she has a strength that doesn't match her appearance!

With that much strength, he could slap a grown man away with one slap.

No wonder, in the original book, she was not favored after entering the palace.

The emperor is not a fool. Who would dare to keep a human-shaped killing weapon by his side overnight?

"Silly girl, do you think worrying about funerals is an easy job? It's a tough job, and everyone is scrambling to do it." Gu Nanxi pulled her arm hard.

Oops, it didn’t move.

My arm hurts even more.

Forget it, let it be. Once the pain is numb, it won’t hurt anymore.

Gu Nanxi’s tanking is not just talk.

Su Yunyan thought of the chaos just now and felt sad, but she was unwilling to give up, so she wanted to go out and see how Jingniang was handling it.

Along the way, Su Yunyan faintly heard the women talking.

"Is the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang so angry that she has gone crazy? She actually allowed a merchant woman to handle the funeral. How can the Marquis's family maintain their dignity?"

Another older voice said in a gentle and persuasive way, "You are still too young. Think about it first, what was the scene when the merchant girl received us just now?"

The young woman recalled for a moment: "It was too attentive and out of proportion."

"That's right! She's just a merchant girl. Without the Marquis's wife to accompany her, how could she know the etiquette of socializing with nobles? She treated us like a merchant, which was inferior. Do you think she noticed it?"

The young woman suddenly realized: "Merchants are the best at observing people's words and expressions. She knows this! Madam Yongchang wants to use us to intimidate her and make her retreat!"

The old woman nodded with satisfaction: "If your husband likes a woman and wants to divorce her and marry another one. Will you resist?"

The young woman thought for a moment and understood again: "In the early stage, I will definitely use force to test them. If there is no effect, I will show weakness and then defeat them one by one! So that's how it is!"

"The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang had strongly opposed it before, but Young Master Su still caused trouble, so the wife changed her strategy! She is a master, really a master! But, if the wife of the Marquis is so powerful, why would she let the concubines climb over her head?"

The old woman said with a smile: "You, you still haven't mastered the art. You just think that the Marquis is far away at the border and has two concubines, so you think that the Marquis's wife is not favored. How do you know that this is not what the Marquis's wife wants?"

"You have a son and a daughter, and you don't have to serve your husband. You have the final say in the mansion. Why should you go to the bitter cold border to serve a man and eat sand? What does it matter whether you have a man's favor or not? The position of the Marquis's wife is indestructible."

The young woman was full of admiration: "Madam Hou's level is far beyond my reach."

The old woman also praised: "I only saw through the truth when I was nearly sixty, but she understood it long ago."

Su Yunyan was enlightened when she heard these words. It turned out that the person with the highest rank in the Yongchang Marquis's mansion was not Aunt Duan, nor the grandmother, but the mother? !

Su Yunyan ran to Gu Nanxi and talked a lot, expressing her deep admiration. She earnestly asked Gu Nanxi to teach her a few tricks for the sake of their mother-daughter relationship.

In response to this, Gu Nanxi said that imagination is a disease and must be treated!

The original owner simply failed in the house fight, and he was just trying to show off!

On the other side, Jingniang, who also overheard the conversation, bit her lips tightly, with a cold light in her eyes. She wanted me to give up? Dream on!
