Gao Xiuyi has been in the Future Academy for several days, and Luo Huixin, who was in the same classroom as her, looked at her desk and felt a little restless for several days.
Finally, when Xia Mu Day was reached, she took Xie Yunqing and went to the Gao family.
The Gao family still closed its doors and did not see anyone. But Luo Huixin and Xie Yunqing are just little girls, and they are classmates with Gao Xiuyi. Moreover, one of them is the head of the county and the other is the daughter of the National Palace. The Gao family naturally opened the corner door to let them in.
Luo Huixin and Xie Yunqing were led to Mrs. Gao's yard, and greeted Mrs. Gao first.
"Xiuyi has been in a bad mood these days. It's hard for you to come and see her in person." Madam Gao was polite when she spoke.
Although Luo Huixin is usually a little arrogant, she is very polite to her elders. She quickly said: "I and Xiuyi are classmates. She will not come to the school for a long time, and we are also worried about her."
Mrs. Gao personally led them to Gao Xiuyi's courtyard. Xie Yunqing observed that Mrs. Gao looked tired and her eyes were dark blue. The Gao family is a prominent family in the capital, and Mrs. Gao has been accustomed to going smoothly before. Suddenly, she was hit by such a blow. She didn't close her eyes for a few days, and she was naturally exhausted.
"Xiuyi, two of your classmates came to see you." Gao Xiuyi's door was closed tightly, and Madam Gao was talking to Gao Xiuyi through the door.
She had never had any friends with whom she had been with. Which two classmates came, Gao Xiuyi was very transparent. But if it were Luo Huixin and Xie Yunqing, Gao Xiuyi really didn't want them to see her embarrassed look.
"Aniang, I'm tired, I just lie down, you can let them go back."
Madam Gao looked at Luo Huixin and Xie Yunqing in embarrassment.
Luo Huixin frowned, and said directly: "It's late afternoon, where do you sleep? Open the door, can I run all the way over and make a trip like this?"
Mrs. Gao has been whispering to her daughter in the past few days, for fear of irritating her. When she heard Luo Huixin's words, the door opened before she could cover Luo Huixin's mouth.
Gao Xiuyi stood behind the door, her hair draped, and her small face was even paler. "You saw me, can you go back?" She said grimly.
This is the first time Mrs. Gao has seen her daughter so angry these days, but her daughter is so unkind to her classmates, Mrs. Gao still can't help but gently scolded: "Xiuyi, speak well."
Gao Xiuyi turned her face away. Although there was still no smile on her face, her voice softened a lot, "You go back first, I'm not in the mood to talk to you."
Xie Yunqing looked at Mrs. Gao, "Aunt Gao, go back first. We will accompany Xiuyi to talk. You can rest assured that there will be no conflict."
The girl in front of you was calm and generous, and spoke softly. Madam Gao trusted her a little, nodded, and said to Gao Xiuyi: "Don't be angry anymore. Talk to your two classmates and A-niang will not stay. I'm bothering you here."
After Mrs. Gao left, Xie Yunqing said softly: "Go into the house and talk."
There was no palm lamp in the room. It was dim and dim. Luo Huixin directly sent Gao Xiuyi's maid to palm the lamp, and the room was brighter.
Luo Huixin and Xie Yunqing had never been to Gao's house, and it was the first time that they saw Gao Xiuyi's boudoir.
Different from the exquisite grace of ordinary daughters, Gao Xiuyi's room cloth
It was placed very casually and openly. There were bookcases under the window, and many books were stacked on the shelves next to it. On the Bogu shelf are a pair of white-glazed plum vases with carved floral patterns in Ding kiln. Apart from this, there are no redundant furnishings.
Luo Huixin looked for the pear flower chair and sat down, unceremoniously let the maid bring tea and snacks.
"You don't have your house. You came to my house to send me a maid?" Gao Xiuyi sat down opposite Luo Huixin and asked angrily.
Luo Huixin rolled her eyes. Just about to quarrel with her, Xie Yunqing pulled her sleeves, Luo Huixin held back her temper, "I also heard about the Fang family. This is not your fault, let's talk about it. , You and that party... The Fang family hasn't made a marriage yet, why are you wronging yourself like this?"
When Gao Xiuyi heard her eyes wet, she almost shed tears. These days, she has forced herself not to inquire about any news from the outside, and Madam Gao has also ordered people not to discuss this matter, but there will still be people discussing it secretly.
Every time she listened, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Gao Xiuyi knows what she is going to be from outside. Cuff, her face is not good, and even the fact that she had a dispute with her cousin when she was a child and pushed her cousin for a while was turned out and criticized.
"Who said I wronged myself? I just don't want to go to school." Gao Xiuyi lowered her head, still stern.
Naturally, she felt wronged in her heart, and even hated her father. If her father hadn't made a marriage for her, she would not have been criticized by so many people.
Xie Yunqing sat down next to Luo Huixin, and it happened that a chess book was placed on the table. Xie Yunqing picked it up and flipped through it, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't go to the school, gossip can drown people. It's just that you and the son of Fang Marriage is not a secret matter. Many prominent families in Beijing know it. If you want to talk about a good marriage in the future, I am afraid it will be very difficult."
She said calmly, although she was telling the truth, she was still too cruel.
Gao Xiuyi bit her lip, and suddenly said as if she had made some decision: "The big deal, I won't marry, and go to Lianxi Temple to practice." She said nicely, but she was still playing drums in her heart. A little girl said to be a nun and let her parents hear her, didn't she want to break her leg
Luo Huixin opened her mouth wide in surprise, "You are going to be a nun? Being a nun can't eat meat, and can't wear beautiful clothes. You can only wear gray clothes every day. Just live a life like this, you really can Can you bear it?"
Gao Xiuyi lowered her head, entangled in her heart, still insisting on her mouth: "No matter how bitter a life is, people can live it. Others can bear it. Why can't I?"
The two of them were awkward when they met.
Xie Yunqing said: "Obviously there is a better choice, why choose the ancient Buddha of the blue lantern, and spend this life in a tasteless way?"
"Is there a better choice for me?" Gao Xiuyi's nose was sore that she almost shed tears.
"I heard that my aunt entered the palace a few days ago, so she must have been looking for Concubine Gao, right?"
Gao Xiuyi nodded. Her mother went to the palace to find her aunt. She knew about this. When she came back, she told her specifically that her aunt could help her, so she didn't want to think too much about it.
"Mrs. Gao is naturally for your marriage," Xie Yun said slowly, "She wants to ask Concubine Gao to point you to the marriage, but Concubine Gao has been living in the palace for a long time, and you
I haven't seen you a few times, so naturally I don't have much affection for you. Even if she points out the marriage to you, I am afraid that more consideration is how to use your marriage to capture more benefits, and even how much help it brings to the second prince. "
She was very calm when she spoke, but the content revealed in the words made Luo Huixin and Gao Xiuyi feel very chilly, but thank you Yunqing for continuing to analyze.
"It's impossible for Concubine Gao to know which young talents are in the capital. Of course, she doesn't need to know these. As long as they are of similar family background, it is enough. But what is the difference between this kind of marriage and the marriage of the Gao family and the Fang family?"
Gao Shiwei originally wanted to marry the Fang family. The emperor had been suppressing the generals before, resulting in not many soldiers who could lead the war in Da Zhou. Only after Xie Yong resigned, did the emperor realize how weak Da Zhou's military power was.
So the emperor wanted to promote a group of young soldiers for reuse. If Fang Luocheng hadn't died, he would probably become fresh blood among the military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Gao Shiwei originally liked this, and couldn't wait to get married with the Fang family.
But Fang Luocheng died, and because of Gao Shiwei's impatience, Gao Xiuyi's reputation was also tired.
Gao Xiuyi knew what Xie Yunqing said was true. She knew since she was a child that the Gao family was the strongest backing for her aunt. Over the years, in order to consolidate her aunt’s position, the Gao family has been giving her auntie gold, silver and jade to stay in the palace. Can better win over people.
Including the relatives of my elder brothers, I also chose a family that can bring benefits to the Gao family. The sisters in the clan, the marriage was also approved by the aunt.
Gao Xiuyi knew that as long as she was still in the Gao family, she couldn't escape the fate of being used as a pawn.
Xie Yunqing looked at Gao Xiuyi, Su Rili's proud and arrogant girl was sitting there helplessly, and she had lost weight in just a few days.
In the previous life, Gao Xiuyi was the youngest son who was accused by the concubine Gao to marry the Hubu Shangshuyuzhizhou, and used it to help the second prince.
The Ministry of Households was in charge of all financial matters during the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the marriage between the Gao family and the Yu family was to win the relationship with the Ministry of Households for the second prince.
However, Gao Xiuyi's life after marrying the Yu family was not happy. The son of the Yu family was the only son of Yu Zhizhou.
Coupled with the single generations of the Yu family, the old lady of the Yu family had long given a few concubines to Master Yu. Although Master Yu did not marry a wife, she already had many children under her knees. Gao Xiuyi naturally did not get the respect of Yu Gongzi after marrying.
Gao Xiuyi had been arguing with Yu Gongzi within a month of her marriage. She was arrogant and refused to go back to her natal home to find her mother crying. For fear of being looked down upon by her tribe, she kept her grievance and lived in Yu's house.
Gao Xiuyi couldn't get the treatment she deserved in the Yu family, instead she and Yu Gongzi stayed apart until Xiao Yudou fell the second prince, and the second prince and his line were suppressed.
It's ridiculous that Gao Xiuyi has never enjoyed the scenery that Yu Jia's grandmother should have, but was rather embarrassed.
Xiao Yu found out that the household department was greedy for ink, and the household department was dismissed from his position, and the Yu family moved to the refugee alley. Gao Xiuyi followed the Yu family's hardships and suffered, but has never complained. Gongzi Yu was not moved by Gao Xiuyi. He still wandered around Huajie Liuxiang. Mrs. Yu died of illness and did not come back. Instead, Gao Xiuyi alone was holding Mrs. Yu's funeral.
