Wu Yanling's expression deepened, "How do you know?"
"Miss, think about it, no high-ranking family would dare to marry someone like her, crazy and stupid, unless it's for the money."
Wu Yanling felt relieved after hearing this, but rolled her eyes at her and said with a smile: "You maid, the more you talk, the more nonsense you say. What if she really marries a good family?"
"How can it be!"
Dong'er flicked her long braid and sneered, "Unless the sun comes out in the west."
The ancestral hall is in the backyard of Gu's mansion, which is eerie and terrifying.
Because the Gu family's roots are in the south, there are only two memorial tablets for the old man and the old lady in the ancestral hall in the capital.
Qingguan is a person who has walked through purgatory, and he is not afraid at all. And she didn't have to kneel, she just sat cross-legged on the futon, closing her eyes and meditating.
Because she knew that most people would not dare to come to a place like the ancestral hall, and no one would know whether to kneel or sit.
In her previous life, she was extremely naughty, like a boy. Her parents were reluctant to beat and scold her, so it was common for her to kneel in the ancestral hall.
At first, she still felt a sense of awe in her heart. As time went by, she was able to curl up on the futon and fall asleep, and occasionally she could still have a few good dreams.
The reason she was not afraid was not because she was bold, but because she knew her mother was standing outside the ancestral hall.
Of the two daughters of the Qian family, their mother is gentle and gentle, while their aunt is straightforward and independent. Because of this, my mother made medicine and my aunt made poison.
My mother is extremely good-looking, with a pair of crescent-moon eyes and dark eyebrows that seem to be frowning, and when she looks at people, she has a misty water color, which makes people's hearts beat.
My father said that he was attracted by his mother's eyes and couldn't help but indulge in them.
People in the world say that a strict father is a loving mother, but in the Qian family, it is a strict mother and a loving father. The mother has a stern face, and even the tall and powerful father has to be careful with her.
My mother stood there until midnight, always waiting for her to fall asleep and covering her with a thin quilt before leaving. Her father tried to persuade her many times, but she refused to listen, so her father had no choice but to accompany her.
She was ignorant and didn't understand, and always complained to her grandfather that her mother was cruel. Only then did her grandfather tell her the truth, hoping that she would be obedient in the future.
Qingguan didn't, and continued to climb up and down, being naughty and mischievous. When my grandfather saw it, he shook his head and sighed, looking very sad.
Qingguan thought about herself in the previous life, and a smile appeared on her lips.
The door of the ancestral hall creaked, and a figure came in. Qingguan did not move. She knew that no one else could come in to see her at this time except the second sister.
Qingzhi put the food box on the ground and took out a bowl of porridge and a few dishes of side dishes.
"Quick, eat it while it's hot."
"Second sister is so kind. I'm hungry."
Seeing that she was laughing so heartlessly, Qingzhi didn't know whether she was angry or smiling, so she said angrily: "Thank you for being able to laugh."
"Is it possible to make me cry?"
Qing Guanhun didn't care, picked up the porridge bowl, chewed slowly, and ate deliciously.
Qingzhi said softly: "You have to wait for the next two days. When the master's anger subsides, I will go and ask for my wife."
Qingguan smiled and said: "Second sister, there is no need to beg. I did something wrong and said the wrong thing, and I deserve to be punished."
"What kind of punishment? Kneeling for two days and two nights, it's not that easy."
Qingzhi thought for a while and then said: "Be careful of Sister Ling from now on. If you see her, stay away. If you suffer a loss then, don't cry to me."
Qingwan smiled gently. This second sister has been with the lady for many years and has developed a good eye for people, which is a good thing.
She laughed twice and said: "Second sister, don't worry about me, she can't harm me. But the second sister is getting older, it's time for her to talk to others. My wife loves the second sister so much, it's time to make plans for the second sister."
The old concubine's eyes were only focused on the four girls of the Gu family, and anyone with a discerning eye could clearly see what her intentions were.
The second sister is a pretty girl and will definitely catch the old lady's eye. If there is any crooked idea over there, the Gu family will definitely do something like selling their daughter for glory. Sister was so kind to her, so she had to give her a few words.
Qingzhi was ashamed and ashamed, so she slapped Qingguan on the back and scolded: "It's all for nothing."
"Second Miss, leave quickly. We're at the courtyard gate again."
"Sixth sister, I'm leaving first. Be careful and don't catch a cold at night."
Qingguan took out the handkerchief and wiped her mouth unhurriedly, grabbed Qingzhi's hand, and said seriously: "Second sister, I heard that my wife's nephew is an official in Beijing. Why don't you let my wife go there when you have time?" Walk around the house.”
Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qingguan more carefully. These words sounded very meaningful.
Qingguan looked back, with a sweet smile shining in his big eyes, which made people feel relieved at first sight.
Qingzhi walked out of the ancestral hall, the night breeze came slowly, she shuddered, and her expression gradually became serious.
The cold night is clear.
A dark figure jumped up, climbed over the wall, and then walked into the courtyard with a familiar path.
Pushing open the door and entering, the first thing that catches the eye is the man standing in front of the window with his back to the door. He is tall and tall, and the candlelight shines on him, giving him a thin layer of halo.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man turned around, his eyes first brightening and then darkening.
"How did you come?"
With a bit of dissatisfaction in her tone, Zhao Jingyan rolled her dark jade eyes lightly and said with a smile: "Come and see brother."
"Nonsense." The man said with a sullen look on his face.
Zhao Jingyan approached and sat on the couch, "I encountered something and I can't make up my mind."
"What's the matter?"
"Someone wants to investigate the arson of Qian's house five years ago."
The man looked surprised, "Who?"
Zhao Jingyan's eyes were cold: "The sixth lady of the Gu family. Her biological mother is the second eldest child of the Qian family."
The man's handsome eyebrows knitted together, "If I remember correctly, she is what you call the Golden Miracle Doctor. She is a fool on the surface."
"That's right. Not only is this person not stupid, he is so smart that he is inhuman. So I agreed."
"You actually agreed?" The voice was as empty as if it was drifting in the wind.
Zhao Jingyan looked at the man with persistence in her eyes, "I want to try."
"This matter is not trivial. One mistake will involve you."
"I always feel that this is an opportunity." Zhao Jingyan murmured.
The man remained silent. It's an opportunity, but it's also a trap.
"It's a long night, how about I tell you about this person in detail before making a decision?" Zhao Jingyan raised her eyebrows.
Qingguan huddled on the futon and had a good night's sleep, so sweet that she didn't even have a dream.
She looked at the sky outside and still sat with her legs crossed. At this time, everyone was in the Shou'an Hall to pay their respects and had no time to see if she, a lunatic, was kneeling down in a serious manner.
Counting the days, today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Tomorrow, she should go to the Chiang Mansion and ask for the old lady's pulse. In this way, if she kneels for another day and night, she will be able to leave this ancestral hall.
"Oh, it's not good. The news about our sixth lady's dowry of 100,000 yuan has been spread outside. The master is so angry that he even smashed the inkstone."
"One hundred thousand taels, my mother, Miss Six really got a bargain this time."
If you didn’t smash it last night, will you smash it today
Qingwan's ears twitched and a smile appeared on her lips. This time the whole capital knew about his net worth, and the Gu family just wanted to go back on their word, but I'm afraid it wouldn't work.
What Qingguan said was half correct.
Mr. Gu was lying on his aunt's bed yesterday. When he thought about one hundred thousand taels of silver, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep. In my heart, I just hope that this matter will not be spread out. After some time, when everyone has forgotten this incident, the house will be able to save a lot of money.
Not only Master Gu thinks this way, but all the two people in the house also hope so. Who would have known that before I even took a sip of this early morning tea, the matter would spread all over the place.
This time, the Gu family couldn't even save half a cent, and bleeding was a certainty.
Qingguan took a deep breath and changed from sitting cross-legged to kneeling. After receiving a dowry of one hundred thousand taels, you can't kneel down properly.
Everyone in the Shou'an Hall looked extremely pale.
Several juniors did not dare to take a breath and sat calmly.
Mr. Gu had a sullen face. After the juniors finished paying their respects, he fluttered his sleeves and went to the study. First, the men of the mansion did not dare to stay longer, and in a moment only the female family members were left.
Zhou glanced sideways at the princess and saw that she was wearing a smoky red robe with a slanted front and an eight-treasure phoenix hairpin on her head. She looked very noble.
Looking at herself again, she couldn't help but said sourly: "I don't know how this person's mouth grew. What happened yesterday has become known to everyone today. Who can talk too much?" Woman, so shameless."
Hua Yang was also wondering why this matter spread so quickly. When he heard this, he gritted his teeth in anger.
He actually dared to scold the people in the palace for being shameless, with a sneer on his cold face: "Sister-in-law, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. No matter how shameless we people in the palace are, we will never do anything like moving dowry from another room. ”
Just one simple sentence made Zhou's pink face turn red, and he couldn't reply even half a sentence.
"Okay, let each of you say less!"
Wei looked around, taking in the two people's expressions. After coughing dryly, he said, "The master has discussed it with me. Several young ladies in the house lack discipline. If they leave the house in the future, they will be laughed at by outsiders. The second brother From now on, those children will learn the rules from you."
If this had been said in the past, Huayang would naturally not be willing to do so. Those few had nothing to do with her, so why should she be trained
After what the old princess said yesterday, she suddenly became enlightened. By getting those few around, her future marriage will be in her hands.
She immediately said happily: "It's also my fault as a mother. Madam, just don't worry, I will teach you with all my heart." Zhou was at a disadvantage. Seeing her agreeing so readily this time, she felt a little uncomfortable. With a smile on his lips, he said: "Brothers and sisters, it is not just the young ladies who need to be taught, but those aunts who are causing trouble must also be taught and taught well. Our Gu family does not have such rules when aunts break into the legitimate daughter's house, Mrs.
What do you think? "
The Gu family has always been unable to hide things. Yesterday, when the second master had an attack, people with eyes and ears had already secretly spread the news.
Seeing Mrs. Zhou's sharp ears and eyes, Mrs. Wei smiled lightly and said, "It's time to set some rules for the aunts. They are all careless masters." Hua Yang suddenly stood up and took the tea from the maid's hand. This was a rare occasion in a thousand years. He handed it to the wife and said with a smile: "What the wife said is that my aunt is a carefree master. If you are good at it, the men will feel sad watching from the side; if you are not good at it, they can't wait to climb up. Your hair is on top."
