Chapter 379
Among the maidservants around Mrs. Hua, Xue Qiao was the most beautiful and attractive, and between her brows, she was somewhat similar to Mrs. Gu before.

And Hua's will also let Xue Qiao walk in front of the general if there is nothing to do, what is the intention, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see it at once.

In the past, Hua Shi didn't want to do this, and she was unwilling to disdain, but now, she was forced to rush, and there was no other way.

In any case, in the Gu mansion, only by gaining the trust of the general can one truly live a good life.

Xue Qiao is smart, and the most important thing is that she is very good at observing words and expressions.

After Madam said it, she immediately understood what she meant, and immediately bowed to Madam and said, "Okay, Madam, this servant will go and see if there is any trouble, and I will come back and report to Madam immediately."

Hua nodded, and the usual calm smile had returned to his face, "Well, go and see if the general is awake."

After Xue Qiao left, Hua sighed again, and said: "After all, our Gu's mansion is only looking at the scenery now, the general's mansion, in fact, the living conditions are not very good. Although the general's salary is not Little, but, the cost of the mansion is also high, although His Majesty has rewarded the general with a lot of good things, but in fact, those imperial gifts look good, can they have any practical effect?"

"There are always some social gatherings in the general's officialdom. Colleagues follow each other, and send things to and from red-topped and white-haired officials. They often cost thirty to fifty or even hundreds of taels of silver. If you do something casually outside, you may also get a few taels of silver. ? There are also some trivial expenses at home. I don’t know how much money it will cost all year round. Isn’t it all supported by me? Does the general know that I am decent and understand my hard work?”

"In the end, the general was fine. No matter what, he gave away so much dowry for marrying his daughter, and secretly gave the eldest lady so much private money as a subsidy. Has he ever thought about what the general's mansion will rely on to make a living from now on?" After the beginning, it became smoother to talk about it. Simply, Hua vomited bitterness to the mother around him: "Our Gu family is not as good as those aristocratic families, and there is no such thing as a shop or farm that can be run. Relying on the general's little salary, but the general is a person who spends money extravagantly, woohoo, he never understands my hard work."

As she spoke, tears began to well up in Hua's eyes.

She was really sad. Back then, she also used some means to become the general's wife. Although she was only a step-wife, after all, at that time Gu Jianghai had already made military exploits outside and was appreciated by the emperor, and her life in the mansion was considered It's getting better and better.

It was only after I became Mrs. Gu that I realized that the Gu family was nothing but a strong outsider, and now there are only some empty airs left.

Gu Jianghai only knows how to fight outside, but he doesn't know that the promotion of an official not only requires him to make repeated military exploits to please the emperor, but also to build a good relationship with his colleagues in the court.

As a woman, what Hua can do is to establish a good relationship with those ladies. Over the years, she has worked very hard to break into the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

Others gave her face and called Mrs. Gu, but in their hearts, how much real respect would they have for her?

In this situation, Hua really felt that she was facing a very difficult situation, and the whole person felt very bad.
