Last night, Gu Qingci couldn't sleep in bed, so she made trouble with Li Chengze to talk with her.
She lives in the Li family, and many things in life cannot be avoided without realizing it.
After talking a lot, Sun's was mentioned without knowing it.
Gu Qingci muttered that Mrs. Sun didn't like her very much. Although she didn't ask her for anything, when she went there to pay her respects, the old lady was cold and indifferent, and her smile was so fake that it made people uncomfortable to look at.
After saying this, she pulled Li Chengze's sleeves and said softly and coquettishly, "Sir, can I not go to pay my respects in the future, the old lady doesn't want to see me anyway."
After hearing this, Li Cheng was stunned for a while.
Then start to reflect on what went wrong.
For Li Chengze, now, as long as Gu Qingci doesn't make any selective mistakes, he seldom cares about her, and even treats her a little bit indulgently.
Especially when Gu Qingci met Bai's incident, because of that, he fell ill, and when he returned to Gu's residence, he accidentally fell and broke his leg, and he suffered a lot one after another.
Li Cheng had no choice but to be cruel to her, and most of the time when the little girl lost her temper, she hugged and coaxed her to let her go.
After a period of time like this, Gu Qingci felt good looking at it.
It's just that Li Cheng didn't think of it, she was so obedient, she just forgot her shape.
She is actually a little clever and has a twisted mind, knowing how to speak to men, soft words and coquettish.
Li Cheng scoffed in his heart, he was still on the bed, since ancient times, the wind blows best on the pillow.
If I really let this girl fool me, then I have lived for decades in vain.
Gu Qingci was a little at a loss, but he didn't expect Li Cheng to change his face so quickly.
She didn't even know what she said badly.
Li Cheng turned over and sat up in an instant, staring at Gu Qingci with sharp eyes like a falcon, and his whole face was indifferent.
It seemed that his expression changed suddenly.
It's not at all like the previous person who would let Gu Qingci mess around and rub her head back.
His face was calm and dignified.
He frowned and stared at Gu Qingci, making her frightened and trembling, Li Cheng then spoke in an unusually cold voice: "Gu Qingci, am I pampering you too much?"
Gu Qingci twitched and shook again, her eyes suddenly opened wide.
But Li Cheng didn't soften his heart any more, but continued: "I haven't taught you some truths, and I thought you should understand something in your heart.
Well, since I don’t understand, I’ll explain it to you today.
Now you are the daughter-in-law of the Li family and members of the Li family in the eyes of outsiders. I don’t care if you really regard the Li family as a family in your heart, but this does not mean that you can directly treat the Li family as a family. Opposite as an enemy.
Gu Qingci, do you know what kind of society this is? Have you ever read the Book of Filial Piety without reading the Four Books and Five Classics? Have you ever heard the words of the three cardinal principles and five constant principles? Do you know that filial piety is practiced today? It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, it doesn’t matter much, just remember one thing, you can do anything deviant in your heart, but you must be a obedient child on the surface, okay? Li Cheng asked questions one after another, speaking faster and more quietly, until the last sentence was a question, but it was already in an imperative tone.
Such a serious and calm Li Chengze...
However, the story is not over yet.
"Come and tell me, did some of my actions mislead you? Is it my attitude towards my mother?" Li Cheng guessed to himself, "She is my mother. I did something wrong that time. I can let my grandmother suppress her, so that she can't do anything to you anymore, so you think that my feelings for my relatives are weak, and you look down on them, and gradually you think about whether you can simply see them less, don't contact them, and just treat them as You can just live in another courtyard by yourself. So, you deliberately tested me with words today, didn't you?"
Li Cheng laughed softly as he spoke.
Then, he hugged Gu Qingci and stroked her stiff back.
A low voice came from overhead.
"Guanguan, please remember that you are no longer in harmony with your mother, and it is impossible to win her favor again. If you let your grandmother ignore you, your situation will be much more difficult in the future. You are still young, and you may not understand some Things can't help you either. On the contrary, if you can make your grandmother love you, even if I'm not around someday in the future, you won't be bullied. "
Gu Qingci lay in his arms without making a sound, but tears rolled down her face.
Half startled and half scared.
He knew what she was thinking, what was going on in her mind.
Li Cheng gently wiped her tears, but in order to make people remember these words deeply, he didn't say any more words of comfort.
…
Today, someone from the east courtyard suddenly came to let Gu Qingci go. Thinking of the Sun family, Gu Qingci reminded her of what happened last night, and she still has lingering fears.
Simply tidy up, and quickly took the maid over.
Gu Qingci, the eldest aunt of the Li family, only saw her on the wedding day.
Fang Sheng has a large frame, tall and thin, with a long face, single eyelids, a shrewd look, and some powerful eyes.
In the main hall, the old lady was seated first, next to the eldest aunt, next to the eldest aunt was Bai Shi, and at the other end were two young girls, who were the daughters of the eldest aunt.
Mrs. Sun treated Gu Qingci indifferently, but waved her hand instead of asking her to salute and ordered her to sit down.
Others were a little strange, but Mrs. Bai didn't mention it. Ever since she was punished by Mrs. Sun, she often had an expression like a wooden Bodhisattva.
The other two girls buried their heads, and Gu Qingci didn't call anyone when he came in, and he didn't show respect.
Even when the aunt and wife came in from Gu Qingci, her face became very long.
Bai Shi doesn't like to talk now, behaves well, drinks tea, and looks like an outsider.
The eldest aunt is not one who can hold things back, but she snorted with a sneer, looked at Gu Qingci, and said, "Mother, my nephew and daughter-in-law are here. Since you don't believe what Xiumei said, you can Just ask her directly, just to confront her face to face."
Gu Qingci was baffled when he heard it, and had no idea what the aunt was talking about.
So he simply looked at Mrs. Sun and asked, "Grandma, what is Eldest Aunt talking about?"
The eldest aunt stood up so excited, her voice was sharp: "Mother, I am now in front of her, and she still dares to argue, Xiumei, come here—" Then she went to pull her daughter over.
Xiumei kept her head down at first, and then she raised her head when she was pulled to her side by her aunt, showing an aggrieved look on her face.
But this person looks like her mother, a mean and sharp type, and it doesn't make people feel pitiful to pretend to be pitiful.
Gu Qingci frowned tightly.
Xiumei made preparations early in the morning, and when her mother asked her a question, she immediately said smoothly, "I went to the street a while ago and saw my cousin from afar. , and walked over, but my cousin got into the carriage soon, I called her outside, but my cousin ignored her first, and I called a few more times, but she seemed impatient and began to scold others, Those words are embarrassing! She taunted me at the maid, my cousin said at that time, "What cats and dogs are running into my car, you guys are blind or your hands are broken, and you don't know how to drive people away!", Grandma, you Come to comment, even though I am not as noble as my cousin, I am also a girl raised by my mother in a serious manner, so I am going to be pointed at my nose like this, my granddaughter will have no face!" After finishing speaking, she continued to talk He howled a few times, but there were no tears in the corners of his eyes.
The aunt seemed to be in a hurry, as soon as her daughter finished speaking, she immediately resumed the conversation without taking a break.
Her voice was more ear-scratching than Xiumei's, like the sharp sound of tiles scraping against the wall.
"Mother, listen, what kind of power is Gu Qingci fighting for? Just being so mean to Xiumei, thinking about it, he didn't take us seriously. We are not close, I'm afraid it's worse than strangers, mother must Tell your daughter an explanation!"
Gu Qingci watched the mother and daughter jumping up and down as if they were singing a big show, with a pair of eyes turning back and forth between the two.
Lifting her skirt, she took two steps to the side, and then sat down on a chair.
In her heart, she looked down on people like the eldest aunt and Xiumei, and her face was full of condescending expressions.
He didn't treat people as human beings at all, and turned his head to Yuzhu as if nothing happened, and said, "Go and get me a cup of tea, I'm thirsty."
Yu Chuan had already endured the anger before, but because of the rules, it was not easy to interrupt, and now that the master called her, he hurriedly went to prepare tea.
Gu Qingci still thought about it, saying that Li's family is an ordinary family after all, they have never raised servants, and the family has no rules and is a mess.
Let's not talk about anything else, it's just that the host doesn't even have some tea and nods, which is a bit outrageous.
But Gu Qingci learned to be smarter, and didn't laugh at others face to face.
Last time I went back to the mansion again, the second wife taught her a lot, and told her that the old lady of the Li family was a sensible person, and told her not to show off in front of the old lady, and she had better be coaxed and wooed. It's much better to get along without talking about salty.
Originally, she didn't take it seriously, her left ear went in and her right ear came out, but last night was really deep for Gu Qingci, her mind was full of what Li Chengze said yesterday, and she couldn't forget it.
With a pounding in my heart, I had an idea.
At the moment, she was not in a hurry to refute the words of the aunt and wife. She only looked at Mrs. Sun, and a shallow smile suddenly appeared on her face, and said softly, "Grandmother, my mother is coming to you!" In a few days, someone sent me some donkey-hide gelatin, saying it was the best stuff, I was young and I didn’t lose my blood, and I thought it would be suitable for my grandmother to eat, so I asked my husband, and he also praised me for being sensible.” A black wooden box on several tables opened. Sure enough, the donkey-hide gelatin neatly stacked inside was cut into square cubes the thickness of the knuckles and the size of the heart of a palm.
"Here, look," Gu Qingci stood up, took the lid together with her hand, walked in front of Mrs. Sun, and said angrily, "Msanggong told you to eat it every day."
Her appearance is self-willed and delicate, but she is not annoying at all.
Sun's expression was calm at first, but when she heard Gu Qingci's words and mentioned Li Chengze, she couldn't help but burst out laughing immediately.
He said in his mouth: "You can keep the good things for yourself. I am an old woman, half of my body has been buried in the soil, so why waste good things."
Gu Qingci pushed the donkey-hide gelatin box to Sun's hand, blinked her eyes, and puffed her cheeks on purpose: "Oh, what did grandma say, you must live a long life, if you don't eat this, go back It's time for my husband to scold me, scold me for being stupid and not able to do anything."
Mrs. Sun laughed even louder when she heard this, and said: "You child, why are you so sweet today? I'm up to you, but I can't ask Ze'er to scold you!" The latter sentence was obviously a joke.
Gu Qingci coaxed the old lady for a while, raised her eyebrows and smiled, and continued to sit on her seat.
This donkey-hide gelatin is indeed a good blood-enriching thing, and it was also sent by the second wife, but Gu Qingci doesn't like it. He thinks that donkey-hide gelatin has a fishy smell, and he has never liked it. It would be best to pass it on to Mrs. Sun.
Yu Chuan came over with the teapot, needless to say, he knew to pour tea for the old lady first. Although she doesn't like the aunt and wife, she can't make trouble for the master, so she has a nice face and is not rude.
Gu Qingci took a sip of tea slowly, took a few sips, and then turned her gaze to the aunt.
And the aunt was completely stunned!
Isn't it a confrontation, reprimanding Gu Qingci? Why was it suddenly interrupted and turned into what it is now
This thing just blocked my throat halfway up and down.
After taking two deep breaths, the aunt still couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but say again: "She has caused Xiumei to suffer so much, and she didn't pay attention to me, mother is not going to teach me a lesson." Don, give us mother and daughter an explanation!"
But the words were interrupted by Sun.
"Okay, I'm such a grown-up, I'm just blah blah blah blah blah blah when I do something, so I can't make people laugh." Seeing that the eldest daughter didn't wink at all, Mrs. Sun looked a little unhappy.
How can the daughter she gave birth to herself not understand, ran over early in the morning as if asking for a crime, and cried in front of her that Gu Qingci was not good.
Mrs. Sun wouldn't believe it if she said that the aunt and wife didn't have any careful thoughts.
But since the person came to the door and was a generation older than Gu Qingci, they had to meet each other.
But Mrs. Sun didn't stand up for Gu Qingci at the beginning, more or less because there was indeed an unexplainable uneasiness in her heart.
Gu Qingci has a high status, and her natal family can easily control her own family, so they can only support her. The Bai family made Gu Qingci suffer that time, and this has been held in the hands of others.
Although Sun Shi didn't ask for anything from Gu Qingci as if resigned to her fate, and followed her in everything, but it might not mean that she didn't care at all.
Therefore, when the aunt scolded Gu Qingci, he didn't stop him immediately, thinking that it was nothing to teach her a lesson, so that he wouldn't make things worse in the end.
It's just that the old lady didn't expect that Gu Qingci, after being lectured face to face by her eldest daughter, would not scold and contradict her in anger.
Instead, he talked to himself intimately, and even took supplements for himself.
That set of ways and sayings makes people feel comfortable. She has lived for most of her life, so she can naturally tell whether people are sincere or pretending.
At that moment, Mrs. Sun understood some of Gu Qingci's advantages. Although she had a bad temper, at least she was simple and straightforward.
Gu Qingci knows how to give way, Sun is not evil, so naturally he doesn't care about being a considerate person.
Then knowing that she deliberately diverted the words of the aunt and wife, and ignored people, she let her go.
He even opened his mouth directly to get this matter out of the way for her.
"Maybe Xiumei's memory was wrong. Ci'er was never such a person. You are not a child with a yellow mouth, so you don't know the truth of talking with your head." Sun reprimanded the aunt and wife.
The eldest aunt did not expect her mother to react like this.
