Miss Qu's heart was full of acid.
Looking at Gu Mei, who was able to do well in the crowd, envy, jealousy, hate? All kinds of emotions came out.
She murmured to others, "My cousin only cares about getting close to the women of her mother's family, and doesn't care about her husband's family. It's just treating one another more favorably than another."
The girls of the Han family have different expressions.
Some people thought it was true and echoed Miss Qu's words.
Some people don't take it seriously because it goes in one ear and goes out the other.
Miss Qu said again: "Do you think my cousin looks down on us? After all, her natal relatives are either rich or expensive."
"Sister Qu's words are biased. Isn't there a concubine there?"
The girl who spoke was a cousin of the Han family in the Daihou Mansion. She pursed her lips and signaled everyone to look at Gu Yue.
Gu Yue's affairs cannot be hidden from anyone.
How did she use tricks to get into the palace? Even if she doesn't know the truth, it doesn't prevent everyone from guessing wildly.
There are a lot of gossip about Gu Yue, most of which are not pleasant.
Miss Qu snorted, "Even if it is a concubine, it is still a concubine of the palace. It is not comparable to ordinary concubines."
The girl who spoke before heard this, and stared at Miss Qu with a half-smile, "Listen to this, sister Qu is envious of Gu Yue being able to enter the palace as a concubine? Could it be that sister Qu also wants to be a concubine in the palace?"
Miss Qu's face turned pale, and she denied it, "Du Si, don't be so bloody. When did I say I was going to be a concubine in the palace? You ruined my reputation, you have to apologize."
Du Si sneered, she is a cousin of the Daihou Mansion, a relative of the old lady's natal family in the Daihou Mansion.
So she didn't need to give Miss Qu any face at all, "Sister Qu, why are you yelling, are you afraid that others will not know that you envy Gu Yue to enter the palace as a concubine? Look, someone has already looked over curiously."
Miss Qu looked nervous, looking around.
Sure enough, someone heard the movement and looked over.
Fortunately, no one asked.
He probably didn't hear the conversation between her and Du Si clearly.
Miss Qu gritted her teeth, feeling annoyed, "Du Si, this is the Han family, not your Du family, you'd better be more polite."
Du Si didn't fear her, "Sister Qu is right. But this is not the Qu family either! Sister Qu is very arrogant, people who don't know think you are the master of the Han family."
The girls of the Han family secretly laughed, waiting to see Miss Qu's joke.
No one came forward to intervene.
The girl of the Han family is not qualified as the master.
However, there is hilarity not to watch the bastard.
It's rare that Du Si and Miss Qu are hard-working, who will stop it.
The girls of the Han family, as the masters of the family, have to give way to Miss Qu on weekdays. In addition, Miss Qu is also liked by the old lady, and everyone will inevitably complain about her in their hearts.
Now there is Du Si who is not afraid of getting into trouble, and it is too late to applaud, how could he come forward to mediate.
Miss Qu felt that she had suffered a great humiliation.
Du Si clearly meant something, and was laughing at her.
She stared at Du Si with fire in her eyes. I can't wait to tear Du Si's mouth open.
No, she must not be irritable.
Miss Qu blinked her eyes twice, and burst into tears instantly.
She whimpered, her shoulders trembled, her little face was pale, "I don't know where I offended Fourth Sister Du, please tell Fourth Sister Du clearly, I will change, I will definitely change. Please don't be angry, it's all my sister's fault."
I rely on!
Du Si rolled his eyes in anger.
The movement here alarmed the others.
Seeing that Miss Qu was crying, Gu Mei hurried over.
"what happened?"
The girl from the Han family said: "Cousin Qu and Cousin Du had some quarrels, and for some reason they burst into tears.
Miss Qu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, took the opportunity to take a peek at Gu Mei, and cried, "Cousin, it's all my fault. Please don't punish Fourth Sister Du. She is still young and speaks inappropriately, slowly You can teach well if you teach. Please give my sister-in-law a chance."
Gu Mei laughed angrily, "Come here, take Miss Qu down to wash up. See how ugly she is crying like this."
Miss Qu's body froze, and Gu Mei actually said she was ugly
she ugly
If she is ugly, there will be no one in the whole flower hall.
The two women stepped forward and forcibly supported Miss Qu to go down.
Miss Qu endured it, so she didn't lose her face. Obediently follow the mother-in-law down to wash.
When he left, he didn't forget to say: "Sister Du, I don't blame you, I really don't blame you. You are younger than me and ignorant, I understand. Cousin, please don't blame Fourth Sister Du. "
Gu Mei kept her face sullen, suppressed a smile, and said to her: "Cousin Qu, go wash up first, I will take care of myself here."
Miss Qu hummed, nodded, and retreated.
Gu Mei asked Du Si, "Cousin Du, do you want to wash up too?"
"Thank you cousin for your concern, I don't need it."
She was a little uneasy, "Is my cousin's fault? It's my fault. I shouldn't make a scene regardless of the occasion. I didn't expect her to cry suddenly."
Du Si was very depressed.
The one surnamed Qu is really too treacherous. If you can't beat her, you have to cry. It's okay to cry, but you have to beat him up.
Gu Mei said to her: "Don't you know that Miss Qu is made of water? She always cries every few days."
The girls of the Han family laughed muffled when they heard this.
Du Si let out an "ah" and felt aggrieved, "I don't know. I knew she was crying so much, so I would guard against her no matter what."
Gu Mei smiled, "Okay, it's fine. You guys continue to play, Miss Qu won't come over for a while."
Du Si was a little dazed, and waited for Gu Mei to leave before she asked the girls of the Han family, "What does my cousin's last sentence mean?"
"Fourth Sister Du, don't you really know?"
"What should I know?"
"In our family, do you know who doesn't like Miss Qu the most? It's the sister-in-law. The sister-in-law hates Miss Qu very much. Miss Qu is crying in front of the guests today, ruining her interest, how can the sister-in-law forgive her.
She fell into the hands of the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law would definitely have to deal with her. After a while, a woman should come to report that Miss Qu is not feeling well, so she will not participate in the flower viewing feast. "
Du Si let out an oh, it turned out to be like this.
She laughed, "In other words, Miss Qu will not show up again."
"Of course. My sister-in-law is the host of today's flower viewing banquet. She was crying and crying at the flower viewing banquet, which is tantamount to disrespecting my sister-in-law. How could my sister-in-law be polite to her?"
Du Sixi smiled, Miss Qu deserved it.
After a few quarrels, she cried and cried, and even dared to arrange her.
snort!
Finally someone took care of her.
Gu Jiu asked with concern: "Sister Mei, are you alright?"
"It's okay. It's just that the little girls had a few words."
Gu Jiu lowered her voice and asked, "Miss Qu, haven't kissed yet?"
Gu Mei shook her head, "I've seen a lot of people, but they all said it's not suitable. I see, Aunt Qu wants to marry Miss Qu into the Daihou's mansion."
Gu Jiu stared, "Could it be that their mother and daughter are still plotting against Shizi Han?"
"That's not true." Some things were a little hard for her to say.
"Sister Mei, what can't you say to me? I have seen a lot in the past two years, no matter how weird things come to me, it is very common."
Gu Mei took Gu Jiu's hand, and said softly: "It's all my guess, I can't be sure. Aunt Qu seems to want to betroth Miss Qu to Han Wulang."
Gu Jiu blinked, Han Wulang
Are you sure it's Han Goro
That Han Wulang who had an affair with Princess Huyang
Aunt Qu is really not particular, she actually fell in love with Han Wulang.
I don't know how Princess Huyang will feel after hearing the news.
After all, the two of them had a relationship at the beginning.
Gu Jiu asked: "I remember that your old lady loves Han Wulang very much. Aunt Qu wants to marry Miss Qu to Han Wulang. Will your old lady agree?"
"That's why Aunt Qu goes to the old lady every day to do her filial piety and talk funny. Even if Aunt Qu handles the old lady, she won't nod easily when it comes to my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law looks down on Aunt Qu."
Oh!
Gu Jiu understood it in his heart.
This situation is a bit like "Dream of Red Mansions".
Mrs. Shi wanted to betroth Daiyu to Baoyu, but Mrs. Wang was not happy. She despised Daiyu as an orphan and weak. Instead, he fell in love with his sister's child Xue Baochai.
Compared with Daihou's Mansion, the old lady fell in love with Miss Qu and wanted to betroth Miss Qu to Han Wulang. However, Han Wulang's mother looked down on Miss Qu.
As for who Han Wulang's mother has taken a fancy to, Gu Jiu doesn't know.
Gu Mei didn't know either.
She is now concentrating on raising the baby, and she doesn't ask about those messy things.
If Miss Qu is quiet today, she will not make things difficult for the other party.
Gu Mei went to greet other guests.
Gu Jiu sat drinking tea.
The maid cut plum blossoms and put them in vases.
The faint fragrance of plum blossoms is refreshing.
Miss Wei San came to Gu Jiu's side and sighed before saying anything.
Gu Jiu asked, "Why is Sister Wei San sighing?"
Wei San frowned, "I think back then, you and I were married by His Majesty at the same time. You and Gong Zizhao have been married for two years, and have already established a firm foothold in the palace. But I don't know where the future lies. Fate is really a trick people."
Miss Wei San felt miserable.
Thinking about how much more noble she is than Gu Jiu, the daughter of the dignified Zhu Guogong's mansion, but in the end she stumbled a lot in the marriage.
Seeing Gu Jiu inevitably brought back sad memories of the past few years, and made me feel very uncomfortable.
Gu Jiu didn't know how to comfort Miss Wei San.
At the beginning, Miss Wei San was accused of marrying the third son of the East Palace.
As a result, Ruizhen Empress Cui passed away first, and Donggong kept her filial piety.
Then Prince Renxuan passed away, and he kept his filial piety again.
Prince Renxuan is gone, and so is the East Palace.
The original eldest son of the East Palace changed his body and became the king of Chu.
However, the original third son of the East Palace could only live in the Chu Palace, watching the Chu King's face.
The third son is still the third son, but he is no longer the third son of the Eastern Palace.
Whenever Wei San thinks of this, he cries in the middle of the night.
When she was accused of marriage, she cried so much that she was dissatisfied with the marriage from the bottom of her heart.
Sure enough, her marriage was extremely unsuccessful.
She didn't want to marry, she didn't want to marry the third son from the beginning, and now she is even more unwilling to marry.
But the marriage between her and the third son was bestowed by His Majesty, can she still regret the marriage
She felt that her life was really miserable and miserable.
And her age is getting older every year. To this day, she is already a veritable old lady.
Thinking of the sad place, knowing that the occasion was wrong, but the tears still fell uncontrollably.
Gu Jiu sighed, took out a handkerchief, and put it in front of her, "Sister Wei San wipe it off."
Miss Wei San picked up her handkerchief, turned her back and wiped her tears.
"I'll show you a joke." Wei San said shyly.
Gu Jiu shook her head, "No one sees sister Wei San's jokes."
Wei San had a sad expression on his face, "Sometimes when I think back, it's my fate until today. If I could have gotten engaged earlier, I wouldn't have been accused of marrying the third son, and I wouldn't have to wait till today."
With the same fate as Wei San, there is also Miss Cui.
Miss Cui was accused of marrying the second son of the East Palace, but she was also delayed.
Gu Jiu persuaded her to cheer up, "There is no unparalleled road. Sister Wei San still don't give up."
Wei San looked blankly, "Where is the way? The marriage between me and the third son is determined by His Majesty, and it cannot be withdrawn. When he becomes filial piety next year, I have to marry him."
Speaking of it, the king of Chu accepting Gu Yue is regarded as accepting concubines in filial piety, which is not filial.
However, the royal family's filial piety is all based on the heart, and there is nothing to be particular about. The royal family will never be like a family of aristocratic families, who will keep their children and scriptures for 27 months.
When the emperor died, he only needed to observe filial piety for 27 days, and at most 100 days. Not to mention a mere prince.
It can be said that the Chu Palace is observing filial piety, or it can be said that it does not need to observe filial piety.
It is probably because of this reason that the king of Chu accepted Gu Yue and was not impeached by the censor.
Miss Wei San said again: "There have been two urgings at the Prince Chu's mansion, wanting me to marry as soon as possible. My family members think that the third son's filial piety has not yet expired, so he has been delaying the marriage. But next year, when his filial piety ends, I have no excuse to continue to procrastinate. At that time, what else can I do besides getting married? "
Having said that, Miss Wei San began to cry again. She wept silently and wiped away her tears silently.
Gu Jiu asked, "The Cui family is also delaying the marriage because the filial piety period has not yet expired?"
Miss Wei San nodded, "Almost."
The Cui family of Duke Zhen's mansion, even if the previous generation of Duke Zhen passed away and fell into decline, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, so it still has some energy.
Gu Jiu asked: "Did your family never think about uniting with the Cui family of the Duke of the Township and regretting the marriage together?"
"Disaster!"
Miss Wei San sobbed and said, "Miss Cui married the Second Young Master, who is a direct descendant and the younger brother of the King of Chu. It is estimated that he will be granted a title after marriage.
The Cui family may not really want to divorce. The reason why it has been procrastinating is probably because they want to advance the second son's conferment of titles.
In this way, when Miss Cui marries, she can not only be called his wife, but also be ordered.
And the third son I want to marry was originally born by the side concubine. When Prince Renxuan was still there, the third son was the most favored. But once Prince Renxuan passed away, the third son became worthless. Up and down the palace, the concubine Sun has the final say, what the hell is the third son. After I get married, what am I? "
Thinking of the bleak life after marriage, Wei San was saddened by it, feeling extremely sad.
Gu Jiu sighed, and then said with great strength: "Then let's divorce the engagement."
Since I was not satisfied with this marriage from the very beginning, instead of crying here, it is better to find a way to divorce and find another happy relationship.
The third girl Wei looked lonely, "Your Majesty pointed out the marriage, how can it be so easy to withdraw the engagement. It's not that my parents didn't think of a way, and even my sister-in-law's natal Luhou Mansion also contributed. But it was useless. The emperor did not agree to the divorce at all. The emperor did not agree , even if I die, I cannot get rid of this marriage."
Gu Jiu said calmly: "Then let him die and live. If you die once, you won't be able to get divorced if you don't believe me."
Wei San trembled all over, and looked at Gu Jiu with wide eyes, "You, you just said..."
"Sister Wei San is afraid of death, or is she afraid of marrying the third son?"
Wei San gritted his teeth, "Of course I'm afraid of marrying the third son."
"Since that's the case, why is Wei Sanjie afraid of death?"
Wei San struggled and contradicted.
She asked, "Is there really only one dead end?"
"It's not that you have to die, but you have to be prepared to die. It depends on whether sister Wei San has the determination."
Determined!
Is she determined
Wei San was still struggling, his expression unpredictable.
"There is still time before the third son is filial piety. Wei Sanjie doesn't need to make a decision now. You can think about it slowly, go back and discuss it with your family, and try to come up with a safe solution."
If the engagement can be terminated without death, then everyone will be happy.
Miss Wei San nodded, her eyes gradually changed from confusion to firmness.
"Thank you. Talking to you made me feel better."
"Sister Wei San, you are welcome. I hope that Wei San Sister will get what she wants in the coming year."
"Accept your good words."
Wei San also hopes that in the coming year, she can get out of the haze and start again.
…
Enjoying flowers and eating wine, everyone is of the same age, and they are all acquaintances, this flower viewing banquet is really lively.
Everyone eats and drinks, and is very happy.
When I sober up, it's time to say goodbye.
Everyone bid farewell to Gu Mei one after another, and left in a carriage at the second gate.
The carriage staggered forward.
Gu Yue sat on the carriage.
She knew that Xie Shi was guarding outside the carriage.
Xie Shi protects her comprehensively as a bodyguard of the palace.
Gu Yue gritted her teeth, her thoughts complicated.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind and asked the coachman to go to the market. She wanted to buy something.
The coachman drove the carriage to Fangshi, and Gu Yue sent the maids around him off the carriage to go shopping.
Thanks for the opportunity, he took the opportunity to send the coachman away.
Gu Yue took a deep breath, and gently raised a corner of the car curtain, revealing only a pair of eyes.
"Cousin!" She called softly, "Are you okay?"
