"Young Master Yu is back?" Ms. Cao also saw it and couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately a hint of concern appeared on her face.
She always believed that Gu Yu won the position of seventh grade county magistrate because he was the number one scholar, and he was affected by Gu Hai as rumored by the outside world. Although Gu Shiba Niang implicitly told her that Gu Yu should come forward to save Gu due to both emotion and reason. The truth of the sea.
"But except for the flesh and blood of close relatives, who in the world would risk their lives to help each other?" Cao sighed and said, "It's not easy for Young Master Yu to reach this point today. He has made mistakes in terms of ethics, but he has done nothing in love. Shiba Niang, no matter what, what your brother did back then was all his own doing. We are grateful for others’ help, so what’s the point of complaining if others don’t help?”
This is also true. Gu Shiba Niang smiled and said nothing.
Mrs. Cao took a few steps forward, smiling to say hello. Suddenly, a man stood in the door of the main hall. He was dressed in rich clothes and had a green hairpin.
Gu Luoer and Gu Shiba Niang sighed inwardly, a wry smile flashed across her mouth, why is she here too? It seems that this New Year's gift will not be very pleasant.
"Xiao Yu, come in." Gu Luo'er raised his chin slightly and looked down at Cao and her daughter, "Have you finally managed to survive so well? Don't get any more bad luck."
Just like before, as soon as he opened his mouth, the light of swords and shadows struck him fiercely.
Ms. Cao was not a woman who was inexperienced in the world. She knew the meaning of Gu Luoer's words when she heard the words. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face and she paused slightly.
Because Gu Hai's imprisonment almost affected the entire clan, she was used to this kind of attitude and words back in Jiankang. After a slight hesitation, she continued to step forward to say hello.
Gu Shiba Niang stretched out her hand to hold her and looked up at Gu Luo'er.
Gu Yu, still smiling, stood behind Gu Luo'er and looked at Gu Shiba Niang with interest.
"Mom, let's leave immediately. We don't want to be known as unfaithful and unfilial." Gu Shiba Niang said slowly, and turned around and walked out.
The servants of Gu Shen'an's family who were leading the way and following were dumbfounded. They looked at the two young ladies in a daze, not knowing what to do.
"Gu Shiba Niang, stop," Gu Luo'er shouted with raised eyebrows, "Who are you talking about for being unfaithful and unfilial?"
Mrs. Cao gently pulled Gu Shiba Niang's sleeve under the sleeve.
Gu Shiba Niang turned around, looked at Gu Luo'er and smiled slightly.
"Let me ask you, what is my brother in jail for?" she said.
Gu Luo'er was startled, her mind moved slightly, and she already noticed something was wrong, so she hesitated and didn't answer.
Gu Shiba Niang did not need her to answer, and continued.
"To speak out for my teacher, to remonstrate for the saint, to ask for justice for the world, my brother is a teacher, a minister, and a minister of the world..." She raised her arm and pointed at Gu Luo'er, her voice suddenly rose, "I'm here to ask you, I How come your brother’s imprisonment and misfortune is a bad thing, and our family has become a bad one?”
Gu Luo'er's expression suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but shout in her heart that it was bad.
"You..." Her hairpin trembled, her face turned pale, and she opened her mouth to retort.
Gu Shiba Niang didn't allow her to speak. She sneered, turned around and took a step forward, blocking the word "you" from her.
"As a fifth-grade lady conferred by the imperial court, you actually said that my brother is an unlucky person and has done unlucky things. Could it be that in your eyes, this man who respects his master and respects his emperor and acts in a righteous way is unlucky? You don't know What about etiquette and integrity, or..." She said in a deep voice, looking at the livid-faced Gu Luo'er, "Or does your Baoding Marquis Mansion also argue the same way?"
When these words came out, Gu Luoer couldn't help but swayed in shock, and took a step back. Gu Yu, who was standing behind her, took a step away calmly, without reaching out to help, and lowered his head slightly, as if to hide the growing pain. smile.
This sentence is powerful. If this spreads out, the emperor himself will be jealous of princes of the opposite sex...
Gu Luoer's face suddenly turned pale, and she stared at Gu Shiba Niang, unable to say a word.
This...what's going on? She just wanted to embarrass the disgusted mother and daughter. How could she get such a big hat off her with just a few words
Gu Shiba Niang looked at Gu Luo'er who didn't dare to say another word, snorted and turned around.
Little girl, bickering with me won’t scare you to death
Gu Shen'an and the Third Young Master of Baoding Hou, who were talking in the hall, immediately changed their expressions after Gu Shiba Niang said these words, stood up at the same time and walked out quickly.
"Luo'er." Gu Shen'an looked ugly and glared at Gu Luo'er fiercely. Then he smiled as if he had just seen the Cao family and his daughter, "You are here, come in and sit down."
Mrs. Cao glanced at Gu Shiba Niang. Except when she was fighting for real estate and shops in the Jiankang clan, this was the second time she had seen her daughter's fierceness. As an observer, she almost felt her scalp numb and her heart beating violently. I really don’t know what kind of pressure it will be as someone who is pointed at the nose and scolded...
This time she really understood how her daughter protects her shortcomings, and she couldn't even listen to someone say a bad word.
She looked over at this moment and saw Gu Shiba Niang's expression was calm, as if what happened just now had not happened.
"Just arrived." Mrs. Cao stepped forward and saluted Gu Shen'an.
Gu Shen'an hurriedly stopped her and ordered the servant to lead her to see his wife. He also introduced the third son of Marquis of Baoding who was standing next to him with a smile.
This was a truly famous family, and Mrs. Cao was busy bringing Gu Shiba Niang to pay homage.
"What's wrong with a family..." The third young master of Baoding Hou also smiled and supported her. He looked at Gu Shiniang and saw that this girl was more handsome than when he met her last time.
Mrs. Cao and Gu Shiba Niang saluted again and were led into the inner hall by their maids to see Mrs. Gu Shen'an.
Watching the mother and daughter leave, Gu Shen'an and Baoding Hou Sanzi couldn't help but look at each other. This was the first time they had seen this woman's words. It was indeed not the lies of those women. They let out a sigh of relief. She was so smart. Mind, what a powerful tongue
"Luo'er" Gu Shen'an turned around and glared at her daughter again, "You will live in the capital from now on, but you can't live in your home. Please pay attention to what you say and do."
The third son of the Marquis of Baoding was unable to seize the title, so his family invited Sheng En to work as a deputy minister in the General Affairs Department. After the new year, he would be able to settle down in the capital. Therefore, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the couple came to give New Year gifts and Explore the path and take care of the relationships between all parties.
"That's right, my sisters, how can you talk to an enemy..." The third son of Baoding Hou couldn't help it anymore and followed his father-in-law's words.
Before he finished speaking, Gu Luoer covered her face and started crying.
"It's your sister, it's your sister," she cried, turning around and running towards the inner courtyard, followed by a lot of maids cheering.
Gu Shen'an and the Third Young Master of Baoding Hou looked at each other awkwardly.
"This child has been spoiled at home..." Gu Shenan coughed and explained.
"She's not like this at home..." The third young master of Baoding Hou also explained with a smile.
Women always behave strangely, and the father-in-law and son-in-law would not dwell on the issue of women, and would change the subject with a smile.
In the back hall, Gu Shen'an's wife had already learned about the drama in the front yard from the servants, so she looked quite strange when facing the Cao family and her daughter.
He seemed to be angry and annoyed, but he had to hold back and look amiable, so that his words were a little awkward.
Gu Shiba Niang was too lazy to deal with her, so the meeting ended in a few words. When parting, Mrs. Gu unexpectedly ordered someone to prepare gifts for them.
This was truly unprecedented, and Mrs. Cao even looked at her twice.
"It's not valuable. It's a local product sent from my parents' family. It's a rare thing." Mrs. Gu said lightly.
Mrs. Cao thanked her hurriedly and left with Gu Shiba Niang.
Mrs. Gu stretched out her hand and pressed her forehead, while the maid beside her hurriedly brought tea.
"It makes my heart hurt..." She took two sips of tea, murmured, and asked the lady again.
The maids pointed to the back and whispered, "She is still crying and won't let anyone in. Madam, please take a look."
Mrs. Gu took out two more heavy breaths before standing up.
Gu Luoer's face turned pale as she cried. There were broken porcelain pieces all over the room. The little girls were busy cleaning, but Mrs. Gu stopped them and drove them out.
"How many times have I told you not to quarrel with the girl, but you are so angry that you forget about her as soon as you see her," she said, stroking her daughter's head.
"Don't let them come to the door again," Gu Luo'er covered her head in the quilt and shouted in a low voice, "Bitch, let this bitch die."
"Shh..." Mrs. Gu hurriedly patted her shoulder, "Don't say this again, she will no longer be a bitch, I'm afraid she will be a noble person."
"What?" Gu Luoer suddenly raised his head and looked at his mother, with a sneer on his lips, "Noble? What? Having a brother who is a seventh-rank official is considered a noble? You dare to point at my nose and scold me? In other words, is she considered a noble person? Ever since she resigned herself to becoming a pharmacist just to make money, she will never be able to stand up again in her life."
Mrs. Gu smiled but didn't say anything.
After all, Gu Luoer was born in a wealthy family and was a woman from a famous family. She had a sharp mind and a sharp heart. Except for the fact that she had carelessly defeated Gu Shiba Niang, she would become angry and lose her mind when she saw her. Mrs. Gu was extremely alert when observing words and expressions. Mrs. Gu just moved the corner of her mouth slightly and her eyes flashed, and she guessed what was going on.
"What? Is there any noble person who has fallen in love with her?" Gu Luo'er sneered, reaching out to pull up her messy black hair and inserting a gold hairpin into it, "So what if you fall in love with her? It's just a joke. The side room is like a slave in front of his mistress, who can be beaten and scolded at will. "
Mrs. Gu smiled, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Of course I am a small person, but some people who are small are also noble people..."
In front of such a big woman as their mother and daughter, the youngest people in the world will always be treated as maidservants, but there is one place where they cannot be treated as maidservants.
Gu Luoer opened his eyes and looked at his mother in shock.
"You mean..." She covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Mrs. Gu looked at her and nodded meaningfully, "Yes, the Prince's House."
"No...impossible." Gu Luo'er was so surprised that she laughed, "Who is she? It's not like she's like a fish or a wild goose..."
After a brief pause, he asked again, "Which one?"
Although there was no one in the room, Mrs. Gu still looked around carefully, and then lowered her voice and said, "I have heard people say it occasionally, but I am not sure whether it is accurate..."
"Mother" Gu Luoer asked impatiently.
"It's Prince Wen..." Mrs. Gu finally said.
"Impossible" Gu Luoer categorically denied. She bit her red lips and her chest heaved violently. Prince Wen, that person is very likely to become the emperor in the future...
"It's impossible." She nodded solemnly again, "It's absolutely impossible that she is nothing."
She repeated the words again.
"Maybe not necessarily, it's just someone who said so." Mrs. Gu whispered, "I don't think it's possible either. Who is Prince Wen? How could he..." She hesitated for a moment, "But you know it, right? Hai has an old relationship with Prince Wen..."
"My family is with Prince Wen. Why don't you see that my sisters-in-law are in Prince Wen's eyes?" Gu Luoer shouted loudly and patted the soft quilt heavily.
"My aunt, please keep your voice down. We are not allowed to gossip about those princes behind their backs." Mrs. Gu hurriedly stretched out her hand to pat her. "Someone said that some time ago, that girl attended some pharmacist meeting. It is said that Prince Wenjun Went to see it too…”
"Bah" Gu Luo'er said, "Does she think it's up to her? There are so many pharmacists, she really knows how to benefit herself."
Mrs. Gu smiled and felt that this seemed to be the case.
Gu Luoer stood up, hummed with a smile, and shook her long impatiens-dyed nails, "She must have done this herself. In order to establish a relationship with Prince Wenjun, she really did everything. What a bitch”
Her fingernails scraped across the table, making a squeaking sound.
"Mom, you are right, that bitch is very sharp-tongued. I will never argue with her again..." She said slowly, with pride flashing across her smooth face, "She is just a bitch, she is not worthy at all. Talk to me. As long as I stand somewhere, I can suppress her in terms of status. I just want to watch her kneel down in front of me and kowtow. Isn't she just a drug seller?"
Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Just remember it. Don't forget it as soon as you see her being provoked by someone's words. If you fall into someone's trap, you will be humiliated in vain."
This sentence once again reminded Gu Luo'er of those two humiliations, and she took two deep breaths.
"I took note of it," she said slowly, covering up the anger on her face and returning to her usual ladylike dignity.
"Why do you think your uncle and aunt thought of giving us New Year's gifts?" Ms. Cao asked in a low voice.
Seeing the maids loading the gift boxes that had been prepared into the car, Mrs. Cao still couldn't hide her surprise.
Gu Shiba Niang put her hands in her sleeves and just smiled lightly, "As long as they dare to give away, I dare to accept them. No matter what they think, what can they do to me?"
"There are no good people in your heart?" Mrs. Cao looked at her daughter angrily, smiled, and walked towards the car.
Gu Shiba Niang followed slowly, "There are no good people and no bad people, they are just for themselves."
Her eyes suddenly fell to the side. In the corridor, next to a blooming wintersweet tree, Gu Yu was standing on the corridor with his hands behind his hands, looking over with a smile on his face.
"Mom," Gu Shiba stopped and looked at Gu Yu, "I'm going to say hello to my cousin."
It's really good for her daughter to know the etiquette and respect her parents like this. Mrs. Cao nodded in agreement. She held the servant's hand and got into the car first. She didn't forget to tell her, "Invite him to come and play at home."
Gu Shiba Niang nodded casually, walked towards Gu Yu, stopped beside the wintersweet tree, and raised her head slightly to look at him.
