Grandma Tan hurriedly consoled her: "Second Master can't get around it for the time being. It will be better as time goes by."
Hua Yang spat viciously: "The betrayed man doesn't even think about it. Even if he is from the sixth rank, he got it just for my sake. Now he dares to show his face to me." , dizzy."
Grandma Tan didn't know how to persuade her, so she just sighed softly.
The second master is really... When the princess is needed, he can't even drive her away; when she is not needed, he has a cold face.
Huayang wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, but the more he wiped away the tears, the more he wiped them away, and he couldn't suppress the grievance in his heart. It was originally a good plan. The second young lady married into a high-ranking family, and the nephew's matter was reduced to a small matter. After it was reduced to a trivial matter, he accomplished a big thing for his mother's family, kept his face in front of his brother and sister-in-law, and the man got an official position. It's easy to accomplish something in one fell swoop, but I don't know where the mistake went.
The water flows in the east.
Although the other end of the palace didn't say anything, after all, he was left behind, and he felt sad just thinking about it.
But that damn man didn't say a single thoughtful word, patted his butt and didn't even show his face. He was extremely cold-hearted.
Hua Yang sighed faintly and sneered: "This man from the Gu family is indeed a mother if he has breasts. I only went to help him when I was full."
As the saying goes, marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat.
When she married into the Gu family, not only did she not rely on a man to be dignified among the ladies, but she, as a woman in her boudoir, had to worry about everything. If it hadn't been for the short-lived death of the dead ghost in front of her, how could she, the noble princess, have ended up like this
Grandma Tan hurriedly said: "It would be great if the princess can get around this situation. The current plan must put Sister Ling's marriage first. If Sister Ling marries well, the princess will have hope for the rest of her life." ”
Hua Yang sneered and said: "Since the people in this house are white-eyed wolves, each one more ungrateful than the other, then I have to make some calculations for myself and Sister Ling."
In the Shou'an Hall, Gu Qingzhi took the medicine handed over by the maid, tasted the hot and cold medicine, and then put it in Wei's hand.
In just a few days, the color on Madam's face disappeared. Thinking of her kindness to him over the years, Qingzhi served her sincerely.
However, her heart is no longer what it used to be. Although Madam loves her, she can obviously be ignored compared with the future of her father and uncle, and the wealth of the Gu family.
Wei drank a bowl of medicine and said with a hint of bitterness in her mouth: "God has opened his eyes and allowed you to escape. When I feel better, I will plan your marriage to save you a long night and a lot of dreams."
Qingzhi stood there, speechless for a long time.
Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words. A woman has never had any choice in her marriage, and her status in the Gu family is far from as high as she imagined. Who knows where her flowers will end up in the future.
Qingzhi felt a sense of desolation in her heart.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Mrs. Wei didn't urge her to do anything, and felt sour in her heart.
After this incident, the future of the two sons was greatly affected, and the house immediately became deserted. She finally understood what the master said. No matter how considerate your granddaughter is, she belongs to someone else. No matter how bad your son is, he is still yours.
The son's official position is secure, and the higher he climbs, the more prosperous the house will be. A mother is more valuable than her son, and her son's face is her face. If her son loses, who will she look to for the rest of her life
The grandfather and grandson each had their own thoughts and ideas, and the inner room became deserted for a while.
In the main room of Dongyuan.
Mrs. Zhou looked at her man's livid face and did not dare to say anything. She hurriedly ordered the maid to spread the quilt and wait for the man to go to bed.
Gu Shilang sat motionless on the chair.
Zhou said softly: "Master, it's getting late, it's time to rest."
Gu Shilang glanced at her and said: "In three days, I will go to the army. Please worry about the people in this house."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but said angrily with red eyes: "Since the second brother came to Beijing, our Gu family has been doing no good. We have been at a disadvantage in every aspect, and even got the uncle involved."
"As a woman, what do you know?"
Gu Shilang scolded: "This time it was Concubine Yin who caused trouble. What does it have to do with the second brother and the others? King Rui suffered a secret loss, and the old Prince Qi lost a legitimate grandson. I, a young shrimp soldier, just went to see him off." "What does it matter?"
Mrs. Zhou said distressedly: "The mountains are high and the roads are far away. Don't I feel sorry for you?"
"If you feel sorry for me, then serve the second elder for me, help the mother find a good match for the second girl, and settle the matter. On the other side of the second room, please be more generous. Although the second brother only got a small official, then It’s all for outsiders to see. As long as Old Qi’s palace doesn’t fall, it will be restored.”
The separation was imminent, and Mrs. Zhou did not dare to talk back to the men anymore, so she only responded to them one by one.
Gu Shilang explained everything one by one, with a flash of light in his eyes, he stood up and said: "There are still things to do in the study, you go to bed first."
"Hey, uncle..."
Mrs. Zhou looked at the man's leaving figure, angrily pulled out the hairpin from her head and threw it on the dressing table.
At 2:00 a.m., Mrs. Liu brought a bowl of steaming shepherd's purse wontons sprinkled with sesame oil into the room. Qingguan smelled the fragrance and whetted her appetite.
"Is there anything left in the pot?"
Sister-in-law Liu said with a smile: "I have prepared the preparations for Yueniang and Chunni. The two younger ones have already used them in the kitchen."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yueniang and Chunni came in one after another.
Sister-in-law Liu said hurriedly: "I'll bring it."
Yueniang smiled at Mrs. Liu, hurriedly walked to Qingguan and said, "Miss, the second young lady still lives in that courtyard and has not moved."
Qingguan raised her head, swallowed the wontons in her mouth, and asked curiously: "Is it because the madam didn't let the second sister move, or the second sister doesn't want to go there?"
"The madam didn't say anything, and the second lady didn't move."
Qingguan held the spoon and considered it carefully, and sighed: "Now, Madam and Second Sister are secretly separated."
Chunni said hurriedly: "Then the second young lady's marriage fell into the hands of the eldest grandma again."
Qingguan shook his head and said: "Probably not. Madam will most likely make the decision for her. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see."
Yueniang sighed: "Miss, I have always expected things to happen. There is no need to wait and see."
Qingguan turned around and said with a smile: "Is there something I didn't expect?"
"Miss, what is it?" Chunni asked.
"I didn't expect that the old Prince Qi's palace would give my father an official position of the sixth rank. I also never thought that my uncle would be sent to deliver the decree."
Chunni was confused and said, "Miss, what does this mean?"
Qingguan thought for a while and said with a smile: "It means the emperor doesn't want to see the Gu family."
The transmission of the decree may appear to be the handiwork of King Rui on the surface, but secretly it may not be the handiwork of the emperor. It seemed that the old emperor knew all about the dirty things the Gu family did back then.
It's just that my father's official position is worthy of careful consideration. Isn't a place like Taipu Temple really as good as the rumors say
Qingguan is a little confused about the direction.
"Well, if you're kind enough, let's quickly remove all the men in this mansion from their official positions, so that we can take the opportunity to leave and live a happy life." Yueniang said bitterly.
Qingguan finished the last mouthful of wontons and drank a few sips of the delicious soup. He took the handkerchief from Chunni, wiped his mouth, and then said slowly: "When the second sister leaves the house, the house will also be empty." It’s time to be down and out.”
After finishing a bowl of wontons, Yueniang was afraid that the young lady would fall asleep immediately and accumulate food, so she took her and walked into the yard.
Seeing that the moonlight was beautiful today, Qingguan simply took Yueniang and walked into the garden.
Yue Niang was afraid that Qingguan would catch a cold, so she took a cloak from the house and put it on her, "Miss, the cold night is heavy, don't go to the garden, just take a walk in the West Garden, it will be dark soon." The gate is closed."
Qingguan nodded.
The bright moon is in the sky, and the sky is like ink.
Qingguan sighed as he walked: "When I was in Suzhou Prefecture, I went to the clinic every night, and I was so busy every day that I looked forward to taking a break one day. Now that I have rested for a month, I feel that I was too busy back then. It’s extremely fulfilling.”
Yueniang knew that the young lady couldn't stay idle anymore, so she smiled and said: "I have only been idle for a few days, and the young lady said this. Those women in the boudoir have to walk around the house every year, wouldn't it be more difficult to live in this life?"
Qingguan sighed softly.
In her previous life, she was never like the wealthy young ladies from other families who were kept in the inner house by her parents and elders, learning piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework. Instead, she was taken everywhere by her grandfather. Over time, his temper became wild.
Now the skin belonged to her cousin Qingguan, but inside it was Qian Ziqi. Therefore, she suddenly felt that it was really painful for a woman to stay in the inner house and not be able to go out.
Just as she was thinking about it, Yueniang suddenly stopped. Qingguan didn't know what was going on and was about to speak.
Yueniang had quick eyes and quick hands. She quickly reached out to cover her mouth and said in a very low voice: "Miss, there is a noise ahead."
There seemed to be some sound coming from his ears, as if someone was talking.
On a cold day, there was actually a maid whispering in the dark. Qingguan didn't take it seriously and was about to pull Yueniang away.
Suddenly, a low voice was heard, and an ominous premonition surged up from the soles of her feet. Qingwan shuddered and hurriedly pulled Yue Niang to hide behind a big tree on the side, and slowly poked her head out.
"cold… "
As if there was a loud thunder in their ears, Qingguan and Yueniang could not move for an instant, their faces looked like they had seen a ghost.
The man in brocade clothes turned out to be Gu Shilang.
"don't want… "
The man grunted, hugged the woman horizontally, and said bitterly: "You little slut, let's see how I kill you today."
"Please have mercy on me." The woman's voice was trembling, not knowing whether it was because of fear.
The man let out a chuckle from his lips and left with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After a while, there was a sound of the courtyard door closing, and the surroundings suddenly fell into silence. Qingguan and Yueniang looked at each other with fear in their eyes. They both picked up their skirts and walked on tiptoes.
