Chapter 8: Confrontation (1)
The person who came was Gu Jinyan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The angry expression on Shen's face had not had time to rein, and it all fell into Gu Jinyan's eyes.
"Why is Mother so angry?" Gu Jinyan stepped forward and asked with concern.
Shen's stomach was full of anger, and after seeing his son, most of it suddenly disappeared, and he responded lightly: "It's not a big deal." I sent Jasper to invite your sister over for dinner, and she had practiced arrows for half an hour today, saying that she was too tired to come. ”
"I thought, no matter how tired I am, I won't even have the strength to come to Rongdetang. I was planning to let Jasper go to Iryyuin Temple again. ”
"Forget it!" Gu Jinyan persuaded without thinking: "Practicing archery is indeed the most exhausting arm strength. Since my sister was tired, she let her rest. If you have anything to say, it's not too late to say it tomorrow. ”
Shen glanced at Gu Jinyan, and the corners of his lips seemed to smile: "You are devoted to her." ”
Gu Jinyan took over the conversation as a matter of course: "Of course. I only have such a close eldest sister, who is not facing her?"
There is only such a sister-in-law......
Shen's eyes darkened, and he didn't know what he remembered, and a complex and indescribable hatred welled up in his eyes.
She unconsciously clenched the tea bowl in her hand.
The slender back of the hand is exposed.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Gu Jinyan was taken aback by Shen's fierce reaction: "Did I say something wrong and make my mother unhappy?"
Shen came back to his senses, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said softly: "There is nothing to do." I just remembered some things from the past, and I was a little excited for a while, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
After a pause, he casually changed the topic: "Dinner is ready." If you don't come, we don't have to wait, let's go to dinner now!"
Gu Jinyan glanced at Shen with some confusion: "Is my mother really okay?"
After enduring it for so many years, in a few days, the fifth brother will lead Qinglan here......
Just put up with it for a few more days!
At this time, there must be no mistakes, let alone arouse anyone's suspicion.
Shen secretly settled down, revealing Gu Jinyan's most familiar smile: "When did Mother lie to you." Come with me to the dining room, lest the food get cold. ”
Gu Jinyan has always been obedient, and nodded obediently.
Shen Shi was secretly relieved to see that he had finally fooled him.
……
Early the next morning.
After resting all night, Gu Wanning's sore arm regained some strength, and he was finally able to hold the rice bowl steadily. However, the movement is inevitably a little slower than usual.
Linlang couldn't help but say, "Miss, let's let the slave feed you!"
"yes, there are no outsiders here anyway. Linglong, who has a slender figure and a pretty face, is also distressed: "No one will laugh at Miss." ”
Gu Wanning laughed when he heard this: "Okay, don't make a fuss about the two of you." I practiced arrows for half an hour yesterday, and it was inevitable that my arm would be sore. After a few days, it will be better to get used to it. ”
Linlang hesitated slightly, and opened her mouth to persuade: "It's too hard to practice arrows." According to the slave maid, the young lady still don't practice. Chen Fuzi definitely won't be angry because of this. ”
Linglong immediately took over the conversation: "Linlang is right. Practicing archery is not so easy, the slave maid has suffered since she was a child, and now she is only practicing to the point of shooting arrows with a bow in 100 steps. The young lady stayed in the inner courtyard every day, and there were slaves and maids waiting for her at all times. No matter how well you practice archery, it won't come in handy. Why bother yourself like this. ”
Gu Wanning smiled faintly and didn't explain much: "I have my own reasons for doing this." ”
The precarious years of life and death have long been deeply engraved in her mind. Even though she was pampered in the next few years, she never forgot the embarrassment and pain of the past.
If you practice archery now, you can better protect yourself and the people around you in the future. It's not a big deal.
Linlang and Linglong have served Gu Guanning for several years, and they are familiar with her temper, and they know that it is in vain to persuade her. They glanced at each other helplessly, and each of them stopped talking.
……
The maids are so confused.
The Shen family is not so easy to dismiss.
Shen held back his anger yesterday, and today he found a bright reason, and as soon as he entered Zhenghe Hall, he couldn't wait to attack in front of Mrs. Tai.
"Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law has some words, but I really don't vomit and feel unhappy. ”
"Guan Ning stayed in the women's school for half an hour yesterday, and as Chen Fuzi practiced archery, he also said to Chen Fuzi that it would be like this every day in the future. For such a big matter, she made her own decisions without consulting her elders, which was really reckless. ”
"She's getting older and more ambitious. I'm a mother, I can't control her. I had to be cheeky and ask my mother-in-law to discipline her more. Otherwise, the daughter-in-law will really have no shame to go underground to see her father in the future......"
Shen Shi's face was full of anger at first, but later, he became sad and sad.
When Mrs. Tai heard this, she frowned reflexively, her eyes full of disapproval: "Sister Ning, what the hell is going on!"
Shen's eyes were slightly red, and he gently wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
Like a poor mother who worries about her daughter but is powerless to control it!
What superb acting!
Gu Wanning sneered in his heart, but his face showed a look of grievance: "My mother convicted me before she heard my explanation." Doesn't grandmother want to hear what her granddaughter thinks?"
The Gu family has a total of four grandchildren and five granddaughters.
Mrs. Tai values and loves the most, and she is Gu Guanning's sister and brother.
Gu Jinyan is still young, and he has been raised by the Shen family since he was born, and he has not had much contact with Mrs. Tai.
Gu Wanning has loved Mrs. Tai since he was a child, and his appearance looks like his father Gu Zhan. In terms of love, she is Mrs. Tai's treasure, and no one can match it.
When Mrs. Tai saw Gu Wanning's crying appearance, she suddenly softened her heart, and her voice softened: "Who convicted you?" You girl, I don't know who to follow, I can't stand the slightest grievance. Your mother says a few words to you, and you can't hear them. This temper, how can you be born when you marry in the future. Who can tolerate such a temperamental daughter-in-law. ”
In the last sentence, I don't know if I was talking about Gu Guanning, or if I intentionally or unintentionally counted the Shen family who made a big fuss.
Shen's action of wiping away his tears suddenly stiffened.
Gu Guanning instantly burst into tears and laughed: "It's still grandmother who loves her granddaughter the most." The granddaughter never married in the future, so she stayed with her grandmother and was filial to her grandmother. ”
"Stupid again. When a woman is older, how can she not marry. Grandmother is surrounded by more people who are waiting, and without you being a naughty mischief, grandmother can save a little bit and live for a few more years. ”
Mrs. Tai glared at Gu Wanning with disgust, but her eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and there was a smile in her eyes.
Gu Wanning's heart was a little sour, and his voice was slightly lowered: "Grandmother, what my granddaughter said is true. ”
In his previous life, he loved and hated so hotly, but then his heart was like ashes, and he had to marry and give birth to a son. But her heart was like a pool of stagnant water, and there was never a ripple again.
In this life, she will not marry again!
I will no longer be stupid to hold out a sincere heart and let others trample on it!
Mrs. Tai only thought that Gu Guanning was reluctant to mention marrying more out of girlish shyness, so she couldn't help but smile: "Okay, it's all up to you." You don't want to get married, so you can stay with your grandmother forever. ”
Gu Wanning followed Mrs. Tai's words and said: "This is what my grandmother promised, and I can't force my granddaughter to marry in the future." ”
Shen gritted his teeth secretly.
Isn't he talking about Gu Guanning's own advocacy of martial arts?
Why did the topic suddenly turn to marrying or not marrying?
Mrs. Tai is really an old fool who listens to and believes partially, and she was coaxed by Gu Wanning in a few words, and she couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.
"Guan Ning, don't talk about him. Don't rely on your grandmother to love you, just do whatever you want. ”
Shen put down the handkerchief in his hand, and his tone was quite stern: "You honestly tell me clearly, who instigated you about yesterday's archery practice? Is it the maid next to you, or is it Master Chen?"
Want to climb the people around her?
Gu Wanning's eyes were cold, and he looked at the Shen family: "This is my own idea, and it has nothing to do with them." ”
……
The cold and sharp gaze was the same as Gu Zhan's life.
Shen's pupils contracted suddenly.
The bright and dazzling and proud girl in front of her is the daughter she gave birth to in October. It is a continuation of her bloodline. She should love her as a treasure in life!
Even for the sake of the identity of Mrs. Beihou, she should show her love and pity as a mother.
But she really couldn't!
Whenever she saw that face that looked like Gu Zhan, and saw Gu Wanning's radiant and hopeful looks, endless resentment and pain would swell up in her heart.
Forced to separate from his beloved, forced to marry his emotionless husband, and gave birth to his child. She only has resentment and hatred in her heart, where does the love and pity come from?
She really couldn't force herself to like this daughter.
Therefore, he is also very cold to Gu Guanning on weekdays.
The estrangement of the mother and daughter is not a secret in the inner house of the Dingbei Hou Mansion. The Wu family and the Fang clan all know it, and they can't hide it from the old lady.
Gu Zhan died early, and she stayed in the Hou Mansion to raise a pair of children. Mrs. Tai is too demanding of her daughter-in-law. He cherished and indulged Gu Guanning very much, and he also had the intention of pity, compensation.
Gu Guanning is quite obedient to her mother, and she has never spoken back like this.
I didn't look at her with such a strange and sharp gaze.
What went wrong?
Why did Gu Guanning suddenly change?
Shen didn't have time to think about it, and Gu Wanning's cold voice sounded in his ears again: "If my mother is dissatisfied with me, just come at me, don't climb to the people around me." ”
Listen to what kind of tone this is?!
This disobedient and unfilial thing!
Shen's forbearance instantly rose to its peak, Huo Ran stood up, and his white and tender face, which was as white as a girl, flushed with anger: "Gu Wanning! How dare you talk to me like this? Where have you read all your books? Which sage book has taught you to contradict your mother like this?"
