Xia He got what the mistress said, so she told Liang Shi everything she had seen and heard one by one.
Liu's acquaintance with the man, this is what Gu Yuqi guessed. Liu's self-esteem, although she is only a concubine, has long regarded herself as the real wife behind the Hou's mansion. Gu Yuqi knew it in her previous life, let alone this life. Therefore, unless there was something important, Liu would not meet a strange man in private. This kind of thing that loses its own share. Mrs. Liu must think twice before doing it.
That man was actually Liu's cousin. This is something Gu Yuqi did not expect. In the previous life, she clearly remembered that Mrs. Liu was an orphan girl, so where did she find a cousin now? Why can't my cousin come to the door openly, but be so sneaky. But in her previous life, she didn't even care about her own mother, let alone Aunt Liu's cousin.
The two of them were just exchanging pleasantries, and Chun Xing heard this. The man got up and left after sitting for a while, and was still sent out of the Hou Mansion by the maid on her back. The reason why Chun Xing had been away for so long was because she followed the man carefully and found the place where he was staying, and then came back to report to Madam.
Not only Gu Yuqi felt that there was a problem, but Liang Shi also felt that there was a problem. After she came to the capital, she was heartbroken and disheartened, but she really didn't have anyone to investigate the details of Aunt Liu. Gu Huaizhong is also secretive about Liu's affairs, so she really doesn't know much about Liu's.
"You tell Zhao Wu to pay attention to that person." Liang Shi pondered for a moment, then said to Chun Xing. "Even ask about Aunt Liu's past. Although I don't want to be troublesome, this mansion can't be polluted by any dirty people."
Gu Yuqi covered her mouth and hilariously, what her mother said was already very serious.
Zhao Wu was the commander of the bodyguard brought by the Liang family from Jiangnan. When Chun Xing and Xia He heard this, their faces became a little more happy.
When they were in the south of the Yangtze River, they followed the eldest lady freely, what a happy and carefree life they lived. As soon as I arrived in the capital, I met my son-in-law marrying another house but concealing such things. The young lady suddenly became depressed, and everyone was sick for a long time, and she didn't even think about taking them with her. They had long thought that Aunt Liu was not pleasing to the eyes, and Miss Bisheng was indisputable, and Aunt Liu coaxed her with sweet words, and the young lady was not easy to get angry. The lady doesn't speak, and it's even harder for them servants to say anything, so they can only let it go. Now the young lady breathed a sigh of relief, they were all gearing up, wishing they could grab that woman and throw her out of the house right now!
When Chun Xing went down, Mrs. Liang sent the other two maids out of the room, and she took Gu Yuqi's hand and looked at her daughter carefully.
This daughter is really beautiful, with curved eyebrows, like the daisy in the distant mountains, already surrounded by clouds and mists, and she also has a pair of peach blossom eyes, the corners of which are slightly raised, forming a charming arc, that A pair of foxy eyes, but the eyes are as clean as a clear stream, with a little bit of starlight, this skin can be broken by blows, without any blemishes, lips are like water chestnuts, not to mention there are A head of black thick long hair. She is only ten years old and already has such an appearance. In a few years, she doesn't know what kind of stunning beauty she will have.
Gu Yuqi felt a little scared when her mother saw her, so she softly called "Mom."
"Ah Nan is still young, but in a few years she will have to choose a son-in-law." Liang couldn't help but let out a long sigh. No matter how good her daughter is, she will marry in the future. I just hope that she will not think like herself that she has found a good husband and a good son-in-law. But I didn't expect it to be an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.
"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Gu Yuqi comforted Liang Shi when she heard that Liang Shi was thinking about something she shouldn't be thinking about. "If I marry someone who is not good, I might as well stay with my mother. Anyway, this Hou's mansion won't cut me three meals a day."
What the daughter said is true, if you really marry someone who is not good, it is better not to marry, it is not that the Hou Mansion cannot afford to raise a daughter, if Gu Huaizhong does not raise it, he will raise it himself.
Such an idea suddenly came to Liang's heart after being told, even she was startled, and hurriedly waved away the idea. After all, the daughter is going to get married, and she will start to sharpen her eyes now, and carefully review the princes and brothers in the capital one by one, and must find a few honest and reliable people to choose from in the future. As for being in a hurry.
Liang didn't know that her daughter already had a goal in mind, but she called out a good word for her idea, and excited her fighting spirit.
Although it is said that Dingyuanhou's Mansion is the upstart of the dynasty, it is nothing in the eyes of those famous families, but Gu Yuqi is the eldest daughter of the Hou's Mansion no matter what, no matter how the eyes of those aristocratic families grow on the top of their heads, they have to take a look at Gu Yuqi . Her family background is also good, the only daughter of the former Zhen Guo general's family, and Gu Yuqi's worth is a little higher. As for the Liu family, the status of her two children is lower.
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Liang scolded her daughter, but hugged her daughter tightly in her arms. I just wish I could give my daughter the best in the world.
She thought, since her daughter is ten years old now, it would be better to take her to socialize in the circle of ladies in the capital first, and ask her to see the world. In the past in the south of the Yangtze River, there were fewer restraints on her, and she developed a carefree boy character, so Liang naturally didn't dare to take her out to scare others. Now that the capital city has been flooded once, his temperament has become quieter, and his people have become unusually sensible and sensible, so he can take him out.
There is no shortage of these gatherings among noble ladies in the capital, and she can receive posts every now and then. Before, she was depressed and even physically uncomfortable, so she rejected all these posts under the pretext of excuses. Now I have to think about which ones I can take my daughter with me.
You must know that although her husband has already been granted the title of Marquis, this upstart is still no match for the powerful family. In the eyes of those clans with hundreds of years of family background, they are just nouveau riche. She comes from a tall family, but her daughter's surname is Gu, so she will naturally be classified as a local turtle.
This is also one of the reasons why Gu Yuqi worked so hard in her previous life. She clearly understood the difference between the clan and the upstarts, so she redoubled her efforts and made sure to make herself a blockbuster, comparing all the ladies of the so-called clan to the ground, as proud as her It is to slap the faces of those so-called noble ladies from centuries-old families, so that they dare not despise her.
Speaking of which, although Mrs. Liang is also from a wealthy family, she can live in Jiangnan all the time. Even she has never attended a party in the capital. She knows that the rules in the capital are much stricter than those in Jiangnan, so even she herself has to be careful. Thinking of this, she called Chunxing to come in to bring her daughter back, and then called Xia Helai to give her a face-to-face order.
In the following days, Gu Yuqi found herself getting busy.
Mother did not know where to find a lot of titles and connections between the nobles in the capital, so she memorized them by heart. Gu Yuqi also did this kind of thing in her previous life, but it was not arranged by her mother at that time, but she secretly asked someone to collect it. What the mother collected in this life is more detailed than what she collected in the previous life. With the foundation of the previous life laid there, this time Gu Yuqi did not spend much effort to straighten out those relationships again.
Mother also specially invited a palace teacher to teach her etiquette, and even asked people to cut clothes and make jewelry for her.
Gu Yuqi understood that her mother was going to push her out.
In the previous life, she did all these things by herself, and her mother was always depressed, but in this life, she didn't care about it, but her mother sent someone to come to her every now and then, and she went there every day. When inviting An to practice martial arts, her mother kept nagging in her ear. This made Gu Yuqi feel a little dumbfounded.
But the mother thinks it's good, so she will do it. She was a goddamn daughter in her previous life, and she has to make up for it in this life. If she wants to take her to attend the gathering among the nobles, then she will go, but she will not let herself be in the limelight like in her previous life, and she just wants to get through it safely.
Mrs. Liu has a lot of eyeliners in the mansion, so she naturally saw the actions of Mrs. Liang and Gu Yuqi, and understood what Mrs. Liang meant. She and Gu Huaizhong blew a little pillow breeze, and Gu Huaizhong even called Gu Siyu Come and learn etiquette with Gu Yuqi from the teacher.
According to Liu's thinking, Gu Yuqi is a genius! She just relied on her mother for the past few years to occupy the position of the concubine's concubine in the Hou's mansion. Anyway, Gu Yuqi has her daughter, so she must have a daughter. Wait a few years and see who can still be prestige in this mansion.
Gu Siyu is one year younger than Gu Yuqi, and the little girl was forced to come here to learn the rules when she was very playful, and she was completely unwilling in her heart. The teaching nun who came out of the palace was strict, and if there was a slight mistake in the gestures between walking and sitting, a small bamboo board would be taken over. In her words, not to mention the young ladies of the Hou Mansion, even if the beautiful girls who entered the palace do not do well, she can beat them. Those beautiful girls are the future masters.
However, Gu Yuqi is still a reborn, everything is already familiar to her chest, she exists like a cheat, she has been in the palace in her previous life, so she can learn etiquette without being taught. He became so stupid that he couldn't even walk well, and was slapped by the teaching nun's small board from time to time.
That is... How can you compare a nine-year-old child with an old monster who has been around for several lifetimes.
Gu Yuqi looked at that concubine girl who was devastated and looked bitter all day long, but she couldn't tell what she was like. This younger sister hasn't provoked her yet, and it's pitiful that she's being scolded now. But why was she so indescribably happy in her heart.
Gu Yuqi struggled for a while, and finally came up with an answer, about she was time-traveling again, and then she was reborn again, and she had been forced into a changed (harmonious) state by Yun Ke.
In Gu Yuqi's childhood, she watched little Lolita being trained miserably. She practiced martial arts hard, and passed away quietly amidst Chen Hanlin's teaching and discussion.
Gu Yuqi never left home in the Hou Mansion, but her reputation outside was getting louder and louder. Now, not only Chen Hanlin will mention Gu Yuqi with his colleagues, but even the nun who taught her will be full of praise for Gu Yuqi after returning to the palace, boasting that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth. Thanks to Gu Houye's red envelope and the advice given to the teaching mother. Speaking of which, in this life, Gu Huaizhong worked really hard to get Gu Yuqi to marry into the royal family, spending a lot of money.
Of course, all of this was done behind Gu Yuqi's back. Gu Yuqi was still kept in the dark, and even Mrs. Liang didn't know that Gu Huaizhong still had the idea of marrying Gu Yuqi into the royal family.
About a month later, Gu Yuqi was dressed up by her mother and stuffed into a carriage, starting her journey of showing her face in front of everyone for the first time in her life.
