Chapter Forty-Six: Losing Big with Small
The third young master of the Zhao family and the girl of the Gu family naturally couldn't spread the news, so they had to invite Mrs. Zhao to come to the door.
This will be in the lobby of the sixth entrance, the third young master Zhao and the fifth girl are kneeling on the ground, and the old man is sitting on it, and the left and right sides are the ladies of the fourth room.
In addition, there was no one else present, even if it was only the jade slave in front of the old lady and a few old mothers in the lady's house.
The old lady's face is very unpleasant, and the eldest lady is even more angry, the fourth lady has always loved to watch good shows, and this matter is not in her fourth room.
The third lady has not yet calmed down, her own lord is an official, if such things are spread, it will not only damage the door style but also make people criticize, and then the face of the Gu family will be lost.
The second lady's face did not change, and she couldn't see any reaction.
Therefore, when it comes to the handling of this matter, the fourth lady has the most words, and even if the eldest lady thinks that Gu Anyu is a person from the big house, she has nothing to say at the moment.
"Old lady, the eldest lady of the Zhao family is here. ”
The maid outside the door made a report, and then Zhao Li entered the door, and looked at the battle in the house, and his son and the five girls knelt on the ground again, their faces condensed.
Without waiting to speak, he stepped forward and shook the ear scraper of Young Master Zhao's ears.
"How many times have I told you on weekdays, even if you like the girl, you have to marry in an upright way to be considered a husband and wife, you are an unfilial son, doing such a shameless thing, it is really a shame to lose the face of the Zhao family and the Gu family. ”
Although Zhao Li beat Zhao San's young master, he could hit his son's body and hurt his mother's body, angry, angry.
One is angry with his own son, and the other is angry with Gu Anyu, who has been beaten when he came back to visit, but he didn't expect her to be faceless and skinless.
Today's incident in the east window, no matter what, I have to give an explanation to the Gu family, if I marry her as the main room, all the previous calculations will be in vain.
Zhao Li thought in his heart, hating iron does not become steel, and he raised his hand to slap him.
Before she could do it again, the old lady spoke.
"So rightly or wrongly, it has been so, and I came to you to discuss. ”
Zhao Li looked at the old lady embarrassedly, seeing that her face was serious, and he also knew that this matter was really ugly.
"It's all my fault for teaching and letting this unfilial son behave nonsense, and this matter is handled by the old lady. After a pause, he thought about it again. "Since this is the case, it is not bad for the two families to become in-laws. ”
Zhao Li also had no choice but to do this, and when he came back, he thought he had no worries.
Men and women have fornicated, and this has always been the fault of women, and there is no fault of men.
But the Gu family is a famous family, although her Zhao family is an upstart, it is still a world of difference compared to the Gu family, marrying five girls is the next policy, but it is not so bad.
"We, the girl of the Gu family, how can we remarry without innocence. The fourth lady couldn't help but speak, and glanced at Zhao Li's with disdain on her face. "I'm afraid that it won't take a few days for it to spread, in my opinion, it's better to send it to Gujia'an Hall for the rest of my life, so as not to go out and be embarrassed. ”
Gujia'an Hall was originally used to live for people who made big mistakes, located in the south of Qizhou City, relying on Nanshan, behind which is the cemetery, and the ancestors of the Gu family are buried for generations.
As soon as he heard this, Gu Anyu sat on the ground with a soft body.
The words of the fourth lady made a room full of people.
Zhao Li's heart suddenly panicked, if Gu Anyu was sent to the nunnery, his son would have suffered such a big disaster, and finally got close to the Gu family in the past few years, would it be in vain?
Thinking that his master still had to rely on the support of the third master of the Gu family, he gritted his teeth and said.
"This matter is all the fault of our family Mu Yuan, if you want to punish Mu Yuan, you will punish Mu Yuan, the fifth girl is just a talented girl, as for the Li family, our Zhao family will definitely go to explain it, even if it is offended, it will not take care of the family. ”
Zhao Li's words must have been said by several people in the room waiting for her.
Compared with the Li family, the Zhao family can't afford to offend the Gu family.
Which is more important, how can Zhao Li not understand.
-
"How's it going?"
"As soon as Mrs. Zhao came, she went to the sixth entrance gate, and now no one can enter the sixth entrance gate, and several ladies have not come out. ”
Qingyuan said when she entered the house, she was also curious about this matter, Gu Anning asked her to run an errand, and she slipped away.
Gu Anning nodded, she wondered why Aunt Liu took someone to hit the square.
It stands to reason that the aunt and the aunts in the north courtyard are not close, and the five girls live in the main courtyard, so if they are okay on weekdays, they will naturally not pass.
After thinking about it, maybe it was because the fifth girl was sick for a few days before she went to take a look.
Although he felt strange, Gu Anning didn't think much about it anymore, and then said to Qingyuan. "Qingzhu is cooking sweet potato porridge, you will send it with her later. ”
Qingyuan answered, and went to the small kitchen, and Qingzhu happened to be about to send things to the main courtyard.
Gu Anning didn't go over in person, because she was afraid that the second lady would respond to her, and her previous face was not unseen, so it was naturally better to have less contact with the Jiang family.
Thinking about it again, the letter from the young master mentioned that the soldiers at the border were eating.
If she remembers correctly, the climate on the border side is dry all year round, and the grain grown is mainly coarse grains.
"What is the girl thinking about the five girls?" Qing Glaze put away the discarded rice paper, looked at her own girl's distraction, and asked with a smile.
Gu Anning shook his head and couldn't help but say. "There are a lot of books in the study room that my eldest brother used to use?"
The green glazed jaw should have shook his head again.
"The study room used by the young master has not been emptied since he went to the barracks, and those books were put in the master's study in order not to be eaten by insects, why did the girl suddenly mention this?"
Hearing this, Gu Anning's mind was dispelled, the second master's study was not something she could enter.
I thought about it and said. "Tomorrow is off, I want to go out of the house. ”
"Girl, the things over there are making people block, I'm afraid I'm going to leave the house tomorrow..."
If you can go out of the house, it is rare for your own girl to go out, and presumably Mrs. will not interfere with it, but the matter of the five girls over there in the big house, if Mrs. is not in a good mind, wouldn't she listen to something that should not be heard.
"It doesn't matter, this matter is a matter of the big house, besides, the eldest lady of the Zhao family has come to the door, so naturally she will not disappoint the five girls. ”
The Gu family will not really force Gu Anyu to death, and now it is just a small loss, this is true for the Gu family, and it is not the same for the Zhao family.
The two mothers and daughters of the Jiang family lived in another courtyard, there were not many other rooms in the second room, there were many idle yards, there were neither aunts nor concubines, those courtyards were used as warehouses on weekdays, and the rest were used as guest rooms.
Qingyuan and Qingzhu sent sweet potato porridge, Jiang Yang's family was born as a peasant girl, and she didn't pay attention to jade food, so it was the first time she saw the food brought by people.
