Chapter 8: Ideas
Mrs. Lu Er took a breath of cold air when she heard the careful "sizzling", and her face suddenly became ugly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info She thought that Old Lady Gu might hesitate, and was listening intently to what Old Lady Lu said, but she let out such a voice coldly, which made her shudder.
But she quickly came to her senses.
It's just an eight-year-old child, and it makes sense that she doesn't want to leave her grandmother, and Mrs. Gu won't pay attention to these words like a little girl. As long as she appeases Langhua now, Old Lady Gu thinks about her granddaughter, and will even agree to let the Gu family leave with them.
The relocation of the family is not a trivial matter, although their Lu family has some roots in the imperial court and has purchased a house in advance, but it has spent many years of savings, especially in recent years, the ancestral property is not well managed, the income of several Zhuangzi is not good, and there are not many assets that can be allocated in the public middle school.
The Gu family went to Hangzhou together, relying on the Lu family to take care of them along the way, and the Gu family would inevitably have to pay more money in return, saving money for the public middle school, and the Lu family would definitely think that she was doing things properly.
Besides, she had already heard the news that Old Lady Gu's body could not travel far at all, and she would die on the road if she walked, and she might be killed by the rebels if she left.
She is now asking for the next dose of fierce medicine, forcing the old lady Gu to think about the afterlife.
Mrs. Gu thought that she would not escape death, and she would definitely prepare a dowry for her most beloved granddaughter in advance, when the Zhenjiang locust plague, Gu Shiheng went out to run a business for the entire Gu family, and was killed by robbers, Mrs. Gu lost her beloved son, so she loved Gu Langhua's granddaughter even more, and the old man listened to Mrs. Gu's appearance, and he would take out half of his property to Gu Langhua as a dowry.
Without this money, why did she agree to Lu Ying to marry Gu Langhua, although Lu Ying is just a concubine.
Second Mrs. Lu looked at Langhua with a smile on her face, "Langhua, you have to be obedient, the second aunt will take you to Yangzhou to recuperate, and you will be able to come back to see your grandmother next year, don't you like to play with Jing'er and Yun'er? ā
Langhua quietly listened to the words of the second wife of Lu, and the second wife of Lu knew what her grandmother cared about the most, so she intended to tell her grandmother that if she went to the Lu family, she would be brought up like this.
I didn't expect Mrs. Lu to be a shrewd person.
She always thought that Mrs. Lu was not very good at judging the situation, she was busy all day long, and there were still bad things at home, so that she had to rely on Lu Ying to help solve it outside the house.
Now that I can see it with my own eyes, Mrs. Lu Er is not only calculating, but also quite aware of the wind and rudder.
Langhua looked over, and her mother's eyes lit up because of Mrs. Lu's words, and her face was full of smiles, obviously she had been moved.
Mother must not have imagined that many years later, Mrs. Lu Er would say something different.
She still remembers it vividly.
The contempt and disdain on Mrs. Lu's face made her say how to take in their mother and daughter.
Her mother's family is not strong, she doesn't have a decent identity, and she has relied on the Lu family for many years, so a blind girl doesn't know how much trouble she has found for the Lu family.
Every time I go to her, I will say a word: If it weren't for the Lu family, your mother and daughter would have died in Zhenjiang a long time ago, in the end, this daughter-in-law is a trouble to pick up.
At that time, the Gu family did flee for their lives, but at that time, she was young, ignorant and terminally ill, and had no choice.
Today, it's different.
She was able to choose.
The Lu family was finally able to get rid of her trouble.
Langhua raised her head and looked at Second Mrs. Lu, pretending to be puzzled, "Why is Second Aunt Lu so good to Langhua?"
The crisp children's voice sounded, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to become softer.
Mrs. Lu Er smiled, "Because my aunt likes Langhua." ā
"It's not," Mrs. Gu San's face was full of meaning, "or we have a good life." ā
Second Mrs. Lu was very satisfied with her answer, and was just about to continue persuading Old Mrs. Gu, when she heard Langhua say again, "If Second Aunt Lu doesn't like Langhua anymore, Sister Jing and Sister Yun won't play with Langhua anymore, Brother Ying won't study with Langhua when he grows up, and Langhua wants to go home but can't go back, what should I do?"
There was suddenly silence in the room, everyone was stunned, and Mrs. Lu was so shocked that she forgot to argue for a while.
Only Langhua got into Mrs. Gu's arms and continued in a clear voice, "I'm afraid that Second Aunt Lu will find trouble, and when the time comes, I want to take Langhua away, but Langhua has nowhere to go, Langhua don't cover your ears and live." ā
She often said that those distant relatives of the Lu family who came to eat repeatedly knew that the master had given an eviction order, but they covered their ears one by one and pretended not to hear anything.
The Lu family and the Gu family are so close, grandmother and mother must have heard Mrs. Lu say this kind of thing.
Langhua really read the look of surprise on her grandmother's face.
Second Mrs. Lu's face also turned red suddenly, goosebumps suddenly rose from the back of her neck all over her body, and for a moment she almost thought that she must have slipped out of her mouth somewhere, and was overheard by Langhua. How would she know? How could an eight-year-old know what was going on in her heart.
The secrets in my heart were suddenly exposed in front of people, like an eggshell being smashed, and the filthy things were suddenly scattered all over the ground.
Second Mrs. Lu suppressed the idea of wanting to escape, and put her hair behind her ears and pretended to be nothing, "This kid, how can there be such a thing, aunt likes you the most, how can you feel troublesome, Jing'er also made you a purse, and Ying'er also asked me to bring you two books." ā
Mrs. Lu said as she took a sandalwood box from Qiao's mother beside her and put it on the table.
Mrs. Gu San's eyes flickered, and she hurriedly stepped forward to clear the siege, opened the sandalwood box, and took out two books and a purse embroidered with apricot blossoms from it, "Look, Sister Jing and Brother Ying remember to give Langhua gifts, and it's strange that our family is always very envious." ā
The mother also frowned slightly and looked at Langhua complainingly, "You kid, what's wrong today?" ā
Mrs. Lu Er breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go down the stairs, Langhua hugged Mrs. Gu, "Grandmother, Langhua is sleepy." ā
Old Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Okay, grandmother will accompany you to rest," and then looked at Second Mrs. Lu, "Langhua has just woken up, and his illness is not completely healed, and there are some other things at home that have not been dealt with, so I will not keep my second daughter-in-law." ā
Second Mrs. Lu was suddenly at a loss, "What about going to Hangzhou." ā
Old Lady Gu took the tea and drank it, "A major event like relocation can't be decided recklessly, you go back first, and then go to discuss with my sister when I sort it out." ā
Speaking of which, Mrs. Lu couldn't stay any longer, so she had to leave in a huff.
Mother hurriedly got up to see off Second Mrs. Lu, and before the Third Mrs. Gu family walked out of the courtyard, she spoke eagerly, "Mother, you can't make a mistake, if we miss this opportunity, we can ...... I can't get out of Zhenjiang. ā
"Then don't go," Old Lady Gu suddenly sat up straight, "We all stay and guard our ancestors' family business, I want to see if we all die in Zhenjiang." ā
"Besides," Old Lady Gu looked at her granddaughter, "our Langhua has received the favor of the Medicine Master Liuliguang Bodhisattva, maybe the Bodhisattva will also help our Gu family." ā
Mrs. Gusan's face turned pale.
ā¦ā¦
Seeing off Mrs. Gu San, there was no one else in the house, Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and took off the gown on her body by serving Mother Jiang.
Langhua saw Jiang's mother hand her grandmother a post of gold.
Jiang's mother said, "What should I do with this post?"
Old Lady Gu frowned, a little hesitant, "Put it away first, you won't need it today." ā
Langhua glanced at the gold post in Jiang's mother's hand, and suddenly the blood in her whole body suddenly poured into her heart.
She remembered.
Mother said that she and Lu Ying changed Geng posts before leaving Zhenjiang.
So the one that grandmother asked Jiang's mother to put away is her birthday.
Is grandmother ready to settle her relationship with Lu Ying?
Lang Hua just thought of this, only to hear the voice of the subordinate outside, "Third Master Lu is here." ā
Langhua's heart suddenly beat wildly.
She was going to see Lu Ying.
She was finally going to see Lu Ying.
