The road from the south courtyard to the main courtyard is actually quite a distance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

You have to cross the garden, then go around the verandah, and walk through a path to see the vestibule of the main courtyard.

Old Mrs. Xiao is not as keen on cultivating some flowers and trees in the yard as Gu Shi, she thinks that these things are too attractive to insects, so she is very repulsive.

Even though it was summer, there were only a few pots of soothing jasmine under the porch of the main courtyard.

The jasmine flowers are delicate, pearl-sized, and against the backdrop of green leaves, they appear pure white like snowflakes in winter.

It's just a pity that no matter how white the flowers are, they look a little sad under the scorching sun...... Listless.

Mama entered the house and passed the word, and after a long time, she came out, "Fourth lady, old lady, please come in." ”

Gu had long been accustomed to Mrs. Xiao treating her like this, every time she came to greet her and send something, Mrs. Xiao would always ask her to wait outside the courtyard for a while. In the past, the Gu family didn't want Fourth Master Xiao to worry about her, so she tolerated Old Lady Xiao everywhere, and now she is not willing to quarrel with Old Lady Xiao for this trivial matter.

There is no need.

It's just that there are some things, even if there will be a violent conflict with Mrs. Xiao, she will not back down half a step.

For her, that's the bottom line.

"I've seen my mother. After Gu entered the house, he saluted Mrs. Xiao.

The light in the house was not as strong as outside the house, Gu Shi stood outside the house for a while, her eyes were a little sore from the scorching sun, and the light was weak after entering the house, and her eyes were almost dark. When her eyes slowly recovered, she saw Mrs. Xiao picking her lips and smiling, that smile was a little charming, not like an old man who already had a grandson.

Gu Shi was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Sit down. Old Madam Xiao's voice was still hoarse, and she used her right thumb to flick the Buddhist beads in her hand, "Today, I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

Gu nodded, "Mother just orders." ”

Gu sat down for a long time, but no one brought a cup of tea, until Old Lady Xiao retreated, and the small table beside her was still empty.

She was not annoyed, for Gu's part, she was not short of this sip of water to drink.

The heart has long been cold.

"Xiao Wei, since you married into the Xiao family, I haven't asked you to do anything. Old Madam Xiao said lightly, "You have been replacing the Gu family all these years, and I shouldn't have seen it, and I didn't blame you for turning your elbow out." But I don't say it, you should also understand that you are now the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and after you die, you will enter the ancestral grave of my Xiao family. So, there are some things that you still have to weigh carefully, whether you should do it or not......"

The door of the house had long been hidden, and the sunlight outside the house could not shine in at all.

Old Mrs. Xiao sat cross-legged, her body straight, her face was not old, but her expression was obscure.

Gu replied, "I won't have anything to do with the Gu family anymore." ”

"It's good that you figured it out. Old Mrs. Xiao was very satisfied with Gu's answer, and said, "Actually, at the beginning, I didn't agree with you and Yingjing's family affair because the two of you were not suitable at all. You did not grow up in the same environment, one heaven and one earth, one high up and one like clay...... However, this child is stubborn, he thinks that you saved his life and should treat you well. Cumin, sometimes, women should ask for things, not too much, you ...... Too greedy. ”

This was the first time that Old Lady Xiao had said this to Gu, and Gu frowned slightly when she heard this.

At the beginning, she had thought so.

Although Xiao Siye is the concubine of the Xiao family, after all, she is a child born in an official family, and she is just a little girl in the countryside, how can she be worthy of him. Even if, everyone said that she had a barely beautiful face, but a woman, there will be a twilight day after all, how long can her face be maintained?

Gu hesitated.

But later, when Xiao Siye brought two pots of her favorite ink chrysanthemum, she suddenly understood that she probably couldn't let go of this person.

She hadn't actually seen Mo Ju, but she had just glanced at the painting and wrote it down when she felt familiar.

She only talked about Xiao Siye once.

That time, even she couldn't remember why she said something like that, but Xiao Siye wrote it down.

He remembered what she liked and what she hated.

In fact, her life should have been thrown into that alchemy furnace a long time ago, and it was Xiao Siye who gave her a new life. Even if she is in the Xiao family in the future, she will be humiliated, and Gu thinks that she probably won't regret it, so she agreed to this family business......

Like the chrysanthemum, it blooms once in the cold season.

As for when it will wither, it is up to fate.

"When you got married, I was very unhappy. Mrs. Xiao was still saying, "Yingjing, this child is very filial, and he will not go against the wishes of me and his father since he was a child, but for you as an outsider, he broke my heart and his eldest brother." The mother who responded to the occasion went early, and I raised him with my own hands, and regarded him as my own...... Now that you're a mother, you should understand my hard work, right?"

Gu Shi didn't answer, just lowered his eyes and didn't look at Old Lady Xiao's expression.

Old Lady Xiao smiled bitterly, "Mother, that one who doesn't want her child to have a good life?" Xiao Wei, I still think you don't deserve the occasion, so ......"

She paused, not continuing.

Gu subconsciously continued, "So my mother thinks, what should I do?"

Old Lady Xiao threw the Geng post placed on the small kang table in front of Gu's body, Gu leaned down and picked up the Geng post, and there was a hint of surprise in his originally gloomy eyes.

This is a Geng post sent by the Bai family, a family member.

Moreover, the Bai family did not give the Xiao family a chance to refuse.

This is His Majesty's imperial order, and everyone in the Xiao family can only accept it obediently, even if they are unhappy or unwilling, they can't say it.

The so-called imperial grace is actually just a matter of making people have to bow their heads and obey.

"I've always heard that the person that the Bai family's young master likes is Zilan, but look at what is written on it. Old Lady Xiao sneered, "What Bai Congjian wanted to marry, why did he become Yanyan?"

Gu shook his head, "I don't know." ”

She was not willing to tell Mrs. Xiao all the truth.

Because this person is not worthy of her trust.

Old Lady Xiao stopped moving the Buddha beads in her hand, "It's Yan Yan who went to find the Bai family master in private, right?"

"Doesn't she know how to write the word shame?" Old Lady Xiao suddenly raised her voice, "robbing her sister's relatives, how could she do such a thing?"

Gu Shi raised his head, his eyes flickering.

She was just about to refute when she heard Old Lady Xiao say, "You go to Bai's house in person now and tell Bai Congjian about this family matter, but you don't agree...... If he wants to marry a girl from the Xiao family, he can do it, but it must be Zilan. (To be continued.) )
