Chapter 5: Suffocation
Shen was full of anger, but there was nowhere to go. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is Zhenghetang, and the family is old and young, plus two cousins. In front of everyone, she couldn't and couldn't reprimand Gu Guanning at will.
Gu Wanning was still so angry that she was not enough, and asked curiously: "Mother, the fifth uncle sent Cousin Qinglan over this time, is it planning to keep Cousin Qinglan in the Gu family all the time!
…… This girl, say something that pierces the heart!
Shen hated itchy, but he couldn't answer: "I haven't seen your fifth uncle for many years, and I don't know what he plans." He has to talk about it when he gets to the capital. ”
Said vaguely.
However, those present were all thoughtful, and they could see Shen's true intentions.
In this way, it is clear that he wants to leave Shen Wuye and live in the Hou Mansion together.
The smile on Mrs. Tai's lips quietly disappeared.
It's just a matter of taking Shen Qinglan in, and it's not suitable for Shen Wuye to stay. The house in the Hou Mansion is full of female dependents, and Shen Wuye is an in-law and a foreign man, so it is inconvenient to live in the Gu family for a long time.
This Shen looked quite thoughtful in the past, but this time he acted too rashly......
"In other words, if the fifth uncle is willing to stay in the capital, he will live in our Hou Mansion with Cousin Qinglan. ”
Gu Guanning looked at Shen's angry but forced self-containment, his heart was extremely happy, and he continued to poke Shen's heart: "Speaking of which, the fifth uncle is my mother's cousin, not an outsider, and it is not rude to live in our Gu family." However, now except for the third uncle, the inner courtyard of our Gu family is full of old and weak women and children. There are men living there, which is really inconvenient. ”
"If my mother wants to keep my fifth uncle to live, it is better to find another smaller house. can not only take care of the fifth uncle nearby, but also avoid suspicion. ”
Gu Wanning's voice was clear and pleasant, her tone was cheerful, and she looked like a delicate little daughter.
Shen Shi was stuck in his throat in one breath, and he couldn't go up or down, let alone feel more aggrieved.
Yes, she had already made up her mind to let Shen Wuye stay with her.
I didn't say it before, I just didn't want everyone to gossip. When Shen Wuye arrived at the Hou Mansion to live, it was an established fact, and it was difficult for Mrs. Tai to open her mouth to pick people up. When the time comes, everything will fall into place.
Unexpectedly, Gu Wanning actually exposed her thoughts in public. and said such things that she couldn't resist......
It's so hateful!
When it comes to private, you have to teach her a good lesson!
Gu Wanning waited for a moment, and didn't wait for Shen's response, and there was a slight grievance in his eyes: "Does the mother blame her daughter for talking too much? The daughter really has no other intentions, just for the sake of the reputation of our Hou Mansion." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Tai with teary eyes: "Grandmother, I said the wrong thing just now, which made my mother unhappy." Grandmother said a favor to my mother on my behalf, so that my mother should not be angry with me, okay?"
The black and white clear eyes have a thin layer of water vapor floating, as if they will turn into droplets of water at any time.
It's especially pitiful and pitiful.
Mrs. Tai's heart softened, and without thinking, she took Gu Wanning's hand and coaxed: "What you just said, grandmother has listened to every word in her ears, and there is nothing wrong with it." How could your mother blame you. ”
As he spoke, he glared at Shen.
There was a warning in his eyes.
Mrs. Tai has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for many years, and the coercion and momentum when she sank her face are by no means comparable to the Shen family.
Shen's heart froze, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. Mrs. Tai was easily not angry, and she was really unhappy with a calm face at this time.
"Guanning, I am just a daughter like you, I can't wait to hold you in the palm of my hand every day and love you, how can I be willing to be angry with you. ”
Shen forced himself to soften his expression, and his voice was extremely gentle and affectionate: "Don't mess around." Such a big girl is still tired of being coquettish and behaving around her grandmother. I'm not afraid that your aunt and aunt will see the joke. ”
That fake motherly look is both hypocritical and disgusting.
Gu Wanning sneered in his heart, but there was a timid expression on his face: "Mother, aren't you really angry with me?
Shen: "......"
Shen's beautiful and elegant face was accidentally a little distorted, and a few words were squeezed out from between his teeth: "How can this be." ”
Gu Guanning breathed a sigh of relief unabashedly: "When my mother said this, I was relieved." Tired of being by Mrs. Tai's side, she whispered: "If my mother scolds me, my grandmother will have to support me." ”
Shen: "......"
Mrs. Tai was amused by Gu Wanning's playful and cute appearance, and her mouth was full of response. Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Shen again.
Shen squeezed out an ugly smile.
……
After greeting Mrs. Tai, the younger generations of the Gu family retired first and went to the clan school.
The Gu family is located in the Dingbei Hou Mansion. A large open space was carved out of the backyard, the fence was pulled, and the door was opened to facilitate the Gu family's children to enter the school.
The Gu family's ethnology also set up a women's school. Reading and learning characters, poetry, calligraphy and painting, are all involved. There is also an hour every day to learn the art of riding and archery.
Of course, the riding and archery course for women is much easier than that for clansmen. If you like to practice more, if you don't like it, no one cares.
There is only a wall between ethnography and women's studies. The patriarchal students should enter through the outside door, and the female students should be located on this side of the backyard.
Gu Jinyan walked out with his cousins, and there was no smile on his beautiful little face, and he was a little depressed.
What's wrong with my sister today?
Every word she said made her mother unhappy.
And the mother, who said that she didn't mind, looked at her sister with such a cold and unkind gaze...... It's completely different from the gentle pampering when you look at him.
His mother loves him so much, but she has always been lukewarm to her sister.
Even if you like your son, you shouldn't have such an attitude towards your only daughter.
He was seven years old, not an ignorant child. Something, he had gradually seen that something was wrong.
The father died, and only the mother and son were left in the second room. They should be close, they should be the closest and most caring people in the world, they shouldn't be like this......
Gu Jinyan saw Gu Guanning's figure, and subconsciously wanted to catch up.
"Fourth brother," the lobby brother Gu Jinxing stopped him in time: "That is the way to the women's school." ”
Gu Jinyan came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you big brother for reminding me." I just lost my mind and almost went wrong. ”
thought he was perfectly disguised, but he didn't know that the little face with a lot of heart had already betrayed his true mood.
Gu Jinxing knew it in his heart, but he didn't break it.
The strangeness between Shen's mother and daughter is seen by everyone. However, this is a family matter in the second room, and as the eldest son of the long house, he should not talk too much.
……
On the girls' side, it's much more lively.
"Second sister, are you having an awkward relationship with your second aunt?" Gu Guanhua, the lobby sister, asked cautiously.
Gu Guanhua is Gu Song's eldest daughter and the eldest of the Gu family. This year, he has just arrived at the end of the year, and his appearance is beautiful, gentle and lovely.
Gu Guanhua is two years older than Gu Wanning, and he never puts on the eldest sister's stand in front of Gu Wanning, but is humble everywhere. Gu Guanning also has a lot of respect for this mild-mannered lobby sister, and the two have a close relationship and get along quite well.
Gu Wanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled faintly: "That's not true." ”
It's no wonder that there isn't!
Everyone can see the scene just now.
Wu Lianxiang, the cousin on the side, rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Cousin Ning, don't hide it from us." In my opinion, Cousin Ning is worried that after that Miss Shen comes, the second aunt will be partial to Miss Shen, so she is not happy!"
This Wu Lianxiang is the niece of the Wu family's relatives, her eyes are not big, and she is extremely flexible. The skin is slightly darker, not fair, and the lips are slightly thicker. However, it is at the prime of youth, and it can be regarded as pretty.
Wu Lianxiang's appearance is not very similar to Wu's, but her temperament is like eight points.
The heart is small-eyed, and he loves to hold grudges.
Tongue-in-cheek, nothing to do.
The words just now were clearly alluding to Shen's indifference to Gu Guanning on weekdays.
Gu Wanningpi glanced at her with a smile, and replied slowly: "Cousin Wu is really smart and clever, and she has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and she can even see this. ”
"Yes, I really don't like it. I don't know where Miss Cousin came out of nowhere to come to live in our Gu family, and she wants to take away my mother's concern for me. Who can be happy if it is changed?"
Wu Lianxiang: "......"
Wu Lianxiang's face instantly turned red.
Gu Wanning, this refers to Sang scolding Huai...... No, it was just a slap in the face.
She is also a cousin who has come to join the Gu family! She surrounds the Wu family all day long to curry favor with the Wu family, and often steals the limelight from Gu Guanhua when she speaks and acts.
It is also thanks to Gu Guanhua's easy-going and gentle temperament, and he rarely cares. She was cheeky and regarded herself as Miss Houfu. Gu Wanning's words just now ruthlessly uncovered her fig leaf......
"Cousin Wu, don't get me wrong. Gu Guanning made up for it idly: "I was talking about Cousin Qinglan just now, but I wasn't talking about you." Cousin Wu has always known how to advance and retreat, how could she do such a noisy and annoying thing. ”
Wu Lianxiang's smile was extremely stiff: "What Cousin Ning said is true." ”
In terms of identity, Gu Guanning is the only concubine of the Gu family, and she is also the most favored by Mrs. Tai. Gu Guanhua's sisters are far inferior, she is a cousin under the fence, and she has no confidence to compete with Gu Guanning.
Regardless of her identity, in terms of tongue alone, she is far from being Gu Guanning's opponent with a sharp tongue.
No, it's not just sharp-tongued.
When Gu Wanning's gaze swept over just now, with indescribable majesty and awe-inspiring, it made people panic and awe-inspiring. She couldn't even give birth to the slightest thought of resisting......
It must have been her delusion!
No matter how powerful Gu Wanning is, she is still a girl in the boudoir. How can there be such a fierce momentum and eyes?
She must have read it wrong!
Wu Lianxiang repeatedly comforted herself in her heart, and then, she didn't dare to say anything again.
