Chapter III: Antecedents and Consequences

Why do you do this to her? She is also a child of the Gu Mansion...... Tears continued to drip on the brocade quilt, and the noble sister hung her head and cried silently, and the tears wet the emerald green bamboo leaves covered with the quilt, spreading out a lot of water traces.

There is no futon of this color in her boudoir, and the noble sister looked up at the room with teary eyes: the room is not big, it should be a small ear room, simple, clean, and unobstructed, but it does not look simple, it is obviously not her boudoir.

The door turned out to be a study, but, why was she here?

It's sunny and a little dazzling outside, and it's already the second day.

Yes, she remembered, a lot of things happened yesterday, she and the only fourth sister who was willing to be close to her went to her mother to say goodbye, the eighth sister blamed her for being ugly, didn't want her to be a sister, kept scolding her for being ugly, and finally got angry and beat her with a feather duster, and as a result, the eighth sister was delicate and tender and beat her palm red, and her mother came out and was angry when she saw this, and directly twisted her to the old lady and said that she abused her sister, She doesn't remember how many times the mother whipped her hands with a ring ruler, she only knows that even her fingers hurt and swollen, not to mention the palms, it really hurts, your sister spread out her hands, blue and red, can't bear to look directly, but, it's so strange, why do the fingers of the right hand hurt so much than the left hand, and why does the right wrist hurt so much? She doesn't remember that her wrist hurt?

"Third Miss, are you awake?" a cool voice interrupted your sister's meditation.

Your sister followed the voice and saw that it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little familiar: "Yes...... Sister Bingqin?" she recognized, she was the only one who gave her medicine yesterday, and she said that it was the fourth young master Gu Jingqiu, her fourth cousin's girl.

Bingqin was a little stunned, and waved her hand again and again: "Third Miss, don't torture the slave maid, just call the slave Bingqin." "How do you feel, Miss Three is not the same as last night.

The third young lady, the slave maid, the noble sister smiled bitterly, she is probably not as good as most slaves and maids.

When she smiled, the swelling on her face became more and more obvious, and when she fell into Bingqin's eyes, her face became painful, and the little girl immediately felt distressed, and her eyes were full of sympathy: "Third Miss, isn't it, it hurts?"

Gui'er followed Bingqin's gaze and unconsciously stroked her face, and tears fell down in large pieces, yes, it hurts...... Such indifferent and disgusted eyes, as well as this slap with such weight, all smashed directly on her heart, and she was out of breath in pain, is it her father...... It's the first time she's been looking forward to it for a long time, Daddy.

"Huh? three...... Third Miss, don't cry," Bingqin panicked, it hurt so much, look at what the third miss was crying like, the little girl hurriedly offered advice: "Use ice again, it should be better, Miss Three, you wait." After saying that, he immediately ran to get something, and at the same time doubted again in his heart, the person who screamed at her last night to prevent her from crying anymore was the third miss......? However, the cold girl who sent her down to prepare for food with a calm demeanor and a matter of course was indeed the third lady, Bingqin paused, looked back at the girl in the sun, soft and weak and still crying silently, which made people feel distressed......! Uh, the things of the masters are elusive, well, just like the young master of her family, it has become more and more weird in the past two days.

When the noble sister returned to her yard, Feng's mother was lying in the middle of the courtyard basking in the sun, and Chunzhu was doing embroidery work, of course, not for her, a young lady, as for Zijuan, she didn't see it, Feng's mother and Chunzhu were the ones who went to pick her up in Zhuangzi, and Zijuan was the big girl rewarded by the old lady on the day she came back.

When Mother Feng heard the voice, she glanced at it and found that it was your sister, so she didn't pay attention to it, and only continued to close her eyes and pretend to sleep, let alone get up to greet her.

Chunzhu subconsciously stood up, saw Feng's mother's actions, took a pause, and retracted, forget it, this third lady is just an ornament, you don't have to treat it as a real master, she is just a little girl, just follow Feng's mother and Sister Zijuan.

When the noble sister was about to walk to the door, Mother Feng's stern voice sounded: "Third Miss, it stands to reason that the old slave doesn't care where you go, the old slave only advises the young lady, don't forget the old lady's words, if your face is injured, you don't have to go out to ask for peace again, let alone go out to scare others." ”

Your sister paused for a moment, and entered the room as if nothing happened, yes, you don't have to say goodbye, you don't even want to look at her, as for scary, heh, she is not a fool, whether yesterday's conflict was because she scared the eighth sister or someone used the topic to play, she still saw it very clearly.

In fact, your sister is not really ugly, but her facial features are surprisingly exquisite, but her complexion is sallow and skinny, compared with the other brothers and sisters in Gu Fu who are outstanding, she is not just ugly.

However, no one really cares if she didn't return overnight, it should be said that no one found out at all, if she died on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere last night, it is estimated that she will have to wait until the body is found, and the people in her yard will notice that she is missing.

She went to ask for peace yesterday from early in the morning to the evening when she came back after being punished, and the rice grains did not enter, but no one paid attention to her in the three subordinates, so she had to go to the kitchen to find food by herself, but she unexpectedly heard a thunderbolt on a sunny day - to take her back, to say to a cruel fool, in exchange for the future of her father's appointment in the capital, a very cost-effective deal, the whole house is naturally all moved, in the words of the old lady, it is "which of the delicate people of the Gu Mansion is not outstanding, which one I am reluctant", so there is a matter of taking her back...... When she heard this fact at first glance, it was difficult to accept it for a while, but she ran to the remote path in a panic, and when she cried so much that she couldn't help herself, she only felt that her heart ached and she couldn't breathe, and then she really fainted with suffocation, and then woke up in that ear room, it seems that the fourth brother saved her.

Sister Gui'er sat until nightfall, from the hardships on the Zhuangzi to the ups and downs after returning, little by little in her mind, even those strange dreams did not fall, she couldn't help but feel that she was really fateful, relatives have but equal to nothing, and then think of marrying a fool, even more hate God for injustice!

Gui sister from the pull out of a purse, is an extremely delicate purse, although only embroidered a small orchid, but at a glance know that the embroidery skills are extraordinary, the stitches are fine, the whole can not be said to be chic and elegant, if you are a knowledgeable person will find that this is a rare special cloud brocade in the capital, and several high-ranking officials and big families in the capital have this expensive cloth at home, and the embroidery thread on it is a priceless tribute phoenix feather gold thread, which is picked up by your sister on the road, and was laughed at by Feng's mother They were shallow in their eyes, and they lost the face of Gufu, but Gui Jie was reluctant to throw it, she stroked the orchid on it and muttered: "So exquisite, your master must be a carefree aristocratic lady, like me, a poor man abandoned by God......"

But your sister doesn't know that life is impermanent, and different causes bear different results. It is natural that she is unprotected and humiliated, but there are also people who are pampered, but they may not be able to sit back and relax, but they may also invite trouble, such as the owner of her purse.

Linzhou Guo Mansion.

Everywhere is brightly lit, and the light casts a faintly visible mottled shadow through the hollow window lattice, which is different from the magnificence of the Gu Mansion everywhere to show the identity and wealth floating on things, Guo Mansion everywhere reveals the heritage of a century-old family, simple and heavy, although the flower of this historic family is gradually withering, it is still noble and beautiful.

Mrs. Guo looked at the young woman in front of her with bright eyes and picturesque eyebrows, how she liked it, how she was satisfied, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she should be the daughter-in-law of her own family! Mrs. Guo affectionately took the slender jade hand of the smiling woman in front of her, and asked with a smile: "Yuanyuan, you have been in Linzhou for some time, and you don't know how to get used to the food? ”

"Aunt~~! You have asked many times, I am more relaxed in your place than in the capital, I said that I came to pray for my grandmother, but in fact, I came here to enjoy the blessings!" the woman covered her mouth and smiled.

"The so-called sincerity is spiritual, Yuanyuan traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Taixuguan to pray for blessings three times in a row, so pious, even the harsh Guanyin Bodhisattva will be moved by you!" Mrs. Guo smiled and quipped, Taixuguan is the most prestigious Taoist temple in the world, every fifteen people are overcrowded, and people who go to ask for signatures are flocking.

The aunt and nephew were talking lively, the maid came to report that the fifth young master had come to say goodbye, and Li Shuyuan got up with the personal maid and avoided behind the screen.

A young man strode in, quite handsome, bowed and said, "Hello to the mother, child!" His eyes glanced behind the screen, and the graceful figure behind the screen was faintly visible.

"You ploppy monkey~, you still come here to say goodbye at this hour, can you have dinner?" Mrs. Guo looked at her son lovingly.

"The child has used it!" The young man's eyes were hot, and he glanced at the screen again, and went straight to the point, "I heard that my cousin will return to the capital in the near future, and the child has prepared some gifts for my cousin." The young man said and took out a slender box, and a graceful and luxurious peony was carved on the fine yellow rosewood, which was lifelike, and he knew that this thing was extraordinary just by looking at the box.

"This, this... This is not, this is not..."Mrs. Guo stood up quickly, regardless of the gaffe, snatched the box and opened it carefully, sure enough, it was a step shake, the hairpin body was a red gold phoenix, the texture was clear and smooth, and the top was inlaid with a thumb-sized round and lustrous pearl, which was the southern pearl of the former dynasty, and the southern pearl went down, decorated with fine jade hanging beads, which... This is a gift from the previous dynasty!

It is a token of the Guo family to the future daughter-in-law!

Li Shuyuan behind the screen looked at her aunt's gaffe and was a little curious, I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy.
