Qingguan walked in step by step, with a smile on her lips: "Second sister, if we don't die, we have to live well."
"live?"
Gu Qingzhi burst into tears: "How to live? This Gu Mansion is really a wolf's den, a tiger's den. You didn't say anything about the plot, but you came to plot against me. Why should I be named Gu? I would rather live in a commoner's home than Living in a house of ruthlessness and righteousness.”
Gu Qingzhi almost shouted at the top of her lungs when she said the last part.
Her biological mother was a maid, but because she fell in love with the wife, she was raised as an aunt.
Zhou's methods have always been ruthless. His biological mother was behaving in front of his wife every day, and she had to endure hardships in exchange for her.
Who would have known that her biological mother was not very lucky and died within a few years of her life, leaving her helpless.
Mrs. Zhou didn't want to see her, she made things difficult for her at every turn, and her life was not easy. She couldn't even compare to the slaves in front of Mr. Zhou, who was bullied, and often went hungry.
The father pretended to be deaf and dumb, not taking her daughter seriously.
One winter, some maid sprinkled water on her quilt, and she fell ill immediately after being covered with a cold quilt all night.
Zhou ordered someone to feed her a bowl of ginger soup, but she refused to seek medical advice. When he was dying of illness, he heard the maids gossiping outside and realized that all this was just Zhou's trick.
She tried her best to beg her wife while no one was checking her.
Seeing how pitiful she was, and remembering her old love for her biological mother, the wife took her to her side and raised her personally. Treat her like your own daughter, and provide her with the best food, clothing, and supplies. She will live a comfortable life for a few years.
I thought that relying on my wife, she would be able to go smoothly. Even if she couldn't marry into a high-class family in the future, it would not be difficult to find a well-matched family.
Who would have known that she would be sacrificed by her elders and parents to marry a widower who had killed three of his wives. What is the difference between this and sending her to hell
Only now did she understand that in the eyes of the Gu family, she was just a pawn leading to wealth. The kindness and filial piety of mother and son, respectfulness of brothers and sisters, and intimacy between sisters are all nonsense.
With such a vicious family, she would rather go to hell with her biological mother than survive.
Qingguan looked at the second sister whose eyes almost popped out, how could he not understand what she was thinking. She said quietly: "My mother was forced to death by them like this back then."
Tears welled up from the corners of Qingzhi's eyes, and she choked with tears and said: "Second Aunt, she is really pitiful. She treated people in this house and checked their pulses, and spent money and heart, but after she died, she couldn't even enter the tomb of her ancestors."
"So Second Sister, why do you have to die for this bunch of wolf-hearted people? You have to live and live well, otherwise how can you see them suffer retribution one by one." Qingguan said sternly.
Qingzhi raised her head blankly.
Qingguan said word by word, with unscrupulous firmness in her tone: "Second sister, you just want to eat and drink well. Sixth sister will not let you follow in your mother's footsteps. The people in this house want to force you, It also depends on whether I agree or not."
"Sixth sister, you... you..." Qingzhi was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.
"Second sister, please wait for a month with peace of mind. If there is no improvement in this month, I will personally go to my ancestors to save you."
Qingguan's words were very soft, but they made people feel an inexplicable firmness. It seemed that these dirty and sinister things were not difficult for her.
Qingzhi's heart ached, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
It turned out that the only person in this house who was really good to her was the once stupid sixth sister in front of her. Not even his wife had said such words to her, let alone his biological father.
Qingzhi couldn't bear it any longer, hugging Qingguan and crying.
On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, the Qin Tianjian said it was an auspicious day. The court "opened the seal", and all civil and military officials went to court in official robes and hats, walking majestically in square steps.
Except for the uncle's life that has changed, everyone else in the Gu family is still living their lives.
The wife's illness was still not cured. As a sign of filial piety, Princess Huayang used the name sticker of the old Prince Qi's Palace to invite Zhang Hua from Taiyuan Hospital to come to the mansion for pulse diagnosis.
Zhang Hua held on to a few sparse beards and thought that Madam was overthinking. I frowned and prescribed a few pills, then walked away satisfied with the thick consultation fee.
The second young lady, Gu Qingzhi, seemed to have disappeared overnight and no longer appeared in front of everyone. But everyone in the Gu family knew that the master was afraid that she would seek death, so he sent more than a dozen maids in her courtyard to watch her day and night.
Princess Huayang took her daughter to the Lao Qi Prince's Mansion more frequently, and occasionally spent the night there. After returning to the capital, she was no longer as obsessed with Mr. Gu as she was in Suzhou Mansion. She wanted to tie him to his belt and not let him leave for a minute.
Mr. Gu was so happy that he also went to Aunt Zhang and Aunt Xu's room once or twice, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he only had a small taste. Whenever the princess is in the mansion, she usually rests in the main room at night.
The two sons of Dafang, one still has red sleeves and hugs each other; the other still has his head hanging from the beam, with a cone that pierces the bones. In addition to going to Shouan Hall in the morning and evening, they often go to the inner courtyard. Of course, when I get tired of studying, I will occasionally drink wine with my friends.
The two concubines in the second room have calmed down a lot. Perhaps it was Gu Qingzhi's sacrificed marriage that made them feel sad. Apart from strolling in the garden, the two of them huddled in their rooms or their aunt's place, looking forward to their future husband's family.
Gu Qingyun originally hated Qingguan's slap, but the house was not peaceful these days. Even though she wanted to take revenge, she didn't have the courage. She only dared to gouge out the slap with her eyes when they met. The eyes of the knife are used to vent the resentment in the heart.
How could Gu Qingguan take her resentment seriously? This kind of person is just cruel on the surface, but secretly he is just a paper tiger. If the second sister's affairs were placed on her head, she might not even have the courage to die.
What Qingguan has done in the past few days is very simple to say the least. He just went to Gu Qingzhi's room to sit for a while, with a pleasant smile on his face, as if nothing happened, and made her happy.
When people are in despair, if someone gives them a little comfort, they will have more courage to live.
Gu Qingzhi didn't know why, but she suddenly felt that the sixth sister she had scolded seemed to have changed. Not only did she speak wisely, but she also acted much more steadily.
She felt relieved for no reason. If you don't have to die, you should eat and drink before you die, why bother crying all day long and making yourself look like a ghost.
Master Gu was overjoyed when he saw that his granddaughter didn't make any noise and figured it out. He hurriedly sent someone to invite the Ice Man. As soon as Bingren saw that it was done, he went to Prince Lao Qi's palace to report the news.
The old princess had this thought in her mind. She was afraid of having long nights and many dreams, so she had to perform the three rituals first and immediately order her confidants to go to the palace.
Gaofu is naturally happy.
It turned out that when watching the lights that day, Gao Xiaofeng was hidden in the crowd and saw the four girls from the Gu family from a distance, the first of whom was Gu Qingzhi.
They say that when you look at a beautiful woman under the lamp, the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes.
Gu Qingzhi was wearing a silver fox light fur cloak and walking with a lotus lantern in her bare hands. She had the demeanor of a lady from aristocratic families and the unique gracefulness of Jiangnan women. It really made Gao Xiaofeng's heart tremble slightly, and he immediately He nodded in agreement.
The two mansions hit it off immediately, and soon the Gao family brought Iceman to the Gu mansion.
Naturally, Mrs. Wei would not come forward, but the two grandmothers who came forward were sitting in the flower hall, discussing the six rites one by one.
Qingguan didn't seem to care, but Chunni was actually able to find out everything going on in the house. When she saw that Zhao Jingyan hadn't received any news from the other side, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
With how smart this guy is, it's impossible that he can't figure out a way. What is the reason why he hasn't made any move yet? Qingwan is a little unsure.
Before she could figure out the reason, news came from Jin Mansion that Cao Ziang had arrived in Beijing and wanted to see Qingwan.
Qing Guan calculated the date and found that it was two days earlier than expected. It seemed that Zi Ang must have been rushing to the capital.
At night, Chen Ping put Qing Guan on his back over the high wall. The master and servant entered the Jin Mansion one after another, passed through the long corridor and entered the hall.
To Qingguan's surprise, in addition to Qian Fu and Cao Zi'ang, there was also a pretty girl sitting in the hall.
Cao Ziang went up to greet him and bowed to Qingwan.
Qing Guansu held her hands up and said: "It doesn't have to be like this between you and me."
Cao Ziang saw that the Sixth Miss had a look on her face and did not dare to look at her. He just lowered his head and said, "This gift must be done. Ziang thanks the Sixth Miss for extending your hand."
My grandfather died of illness in prison. If the sixth lady hadn't provided him with timely help, my grandfather's funeral would never have been so dignified.
Qing Guan glanced at him angrily and said with a smile: "In that case, I have to say hello to Ziang. If it weren't for your medicine, I'm afraid I would still be lying in bed unable to get up at this moment. This person is... "
Cao Ziang's face turned slightly red, and he quickly brought the girl over and said, "This is my biological sister, Cao Zixi. Zixi, this is Miss Six."
Cao Zixi lowered her head tenderly and said: "Sixth Miss."
Wearing clothes that are not new, with only a beaded hairpin on her head, Qingguan frowned slightly, but said with a smile: "The mountains are high and the roads are far away, Zi Xi has worked hard."
There was something in the words. Cao Ziang understood it as soon as he heard it and hurriedly explained: "Sixth Miss, Zi Xi has been close to me since she was a child. She couldn't bear to let me be alone outside, so she followed me here. She knows a little about pulse, I thought There are mostly women in the drug store, so it is more convenient for her to take care of some patients. "
Cao Zixi hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Sixth Miss, you are nagging me."
Originally I wanted to learn to be a female doctor. Qingguan sighed in his heart, the dignified daughter of the Cao family was forced to show her face, which shows what the scene in that mansion is like now.
Qingguan smiled and said, "In that case, let's stay. Yinzhen, go to the embroidery workshop tomorrow to make some clothes for Miss Zi Xi and buy some headgear."
"Yes, miss!"
"Sixth Miss, you absolutely can't do this." Cao Zixi was so shocked that she waved her hands repeatedly. Qingguan said: "A girl like a flower should dress beautifully. The courtyard in this mansion is much empty. If you and your brother are different in gender, just live in another courtyard. Whatever is missing, whatever is missing, just follow The silver needle opens."
