Chapter 7: The heart is pounding
A few years ago, Gu Xi knew that Gu Chao didn't like his second niece. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason is that the day and hour of Yuan'er's birth are not good, and there is some conflict with Xiang'er.
Such a statement is unacceptable to Gu Xi.
Children are all flesh that falls from their mothers, how can a mother deny the other for the sake of one.
In particular, this denied child has a face that is exactly the same as her mother's.
It is precisely because Yuan'er and her sister look too similar that no one has ever doubted the mother-daughter relationship between them.
Even her Gu Xi, although she has almost the same appearance, there is a small pear vortex missing from the corner of her mouth.
Gu Xi felt pity for her second niece who she hadn't seen a few times.
After learning that she and Huo Xiao were in love, and that His Majesty had given her marriage, she was not only resentful, but very pleased.
That's why she sent out the "splendid beauty".
Huo Xiao is a good boy, he will definitely be good to Yuan'er.
Princess Yongfu will also be a good mother-in-law, and she will definitely treat Yuan'er like her own daughter.
Today in Mrs. Gu's small warehouse, Gu Chao asked Gu Xi to help on the grounds that he had two daughters and wanted to choose two makeup gifts.
At first, she thought that her sister had finally figured it out and treated her two nieces equally, so she came to Gu Chao's side very happily.
But she never expected her sister's heart to be so biased.
My mother's small storeroom is full of fine products, and it can almost be said that it is priceless.
Choosing a few of them is enough to grace the girls' dowry.
Gu Chao's greed was something Gu Xi had known since she was a child, but Gu Xi didn't like to listen to what she was talking about.
This is particularly good, put it in the bedroom for Xiang'er......
That one is particularly beautiful, and it is placed in the study for Xiang'er......
Ten out of ten pieces were selected for Xiang'er, and Yuan'er was not mentioned at all.
Gu Chao was very provocative, but Gu Xi couldn't help but say anymore: "Sister, Yuan'er is also married." ”
Gu Chao's mind was full of the beautiful life of the future four princesses, and he responded casually: "Mother's good things can naturally only be left to the ...... of the relatives."
The voice was not loud, and the words were not complete, but Gu Xi had already heard the crux of the problem.
Gu Chao also quickly realized that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly wanted to divert the topic.
Gu Xi turned his head to look at the two sisters-in-law, and saw that they were on the other side of the small warehouse, but he didn't hear what they were saying.
As soon as she grabbed Gu Chao's arm, she dragged her out of the small warehouse.
"Sister, what do you mean by what you just said? Gu Xi lowered his voice and was very serious.
Gu Chao was a little panicked in her heart, if this matter was not done well, it would involve a lot of problems, and Yuan Zheng would not let her go.
She quibbled, "What can I mean, it's just joking." ”
Gu Xi sneered: "We are twin sisters, do you mean it or are you talking about fun, I can see it, you must not say that Yuan'er is a child born to a brother-in-law and another woman, and my brother-in-law is not that kind of person." ”
Gu Chao has had no way to take Gu Xi since she was a child, everyone thinks that she is arrogant and gentle with Gu Xi, but in fact, she has never been Gu Xi's opponent in private.
I had to tell the part of Doudou's life experience that she knew.
Gu Xi's brows furrowed when he heard this: "You mean to say that Yuan'er was picked up by Hui Niang on the night of Qixi Festival fourteen years ago on the outskirts of the capital?"
Gu Chao brushed Gu Xi's hand away: "I have said everything I know, Yuan Zongzhi has told me countless times over the years that I am not allowed to leak my mouth, today you forced me, don't rely on me if something happens." ”
Gu Xi's face turned a little pale, and he muttered as if he had been hit by something: "Don't worry......"
Gu Chao was taken aback by her appearance, the two grew up together, she had never seen her sister look so fragile and helpless.
The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became, although Gu Xi had been a trustworthy person since she was a child, but in the face of huge interests, who dared to say that she was not tempted?
In case the marriage between Yuan'er and Huo Xiaowang was ruined by Gu Xi, Yuan Zongzhi and her mother-in-law would definitely hate her to death.
And the future of my daughter......
Without the support of the Huo family, what future can her son-in-law have?
Gu Chao didn't even bother to carefully select the good things of Old Madam Gu, and ordered Ding Xiang to hurry back home with a few things that he had picked before.
Looking at the back of her sister leaving in a hurry, Gu Xi couldn't stay any longer, she needed to calm down and think about it alone.
This thought lasted for hours, and she did not wake up until it was getting dark.
Gu Xi pinched his numb waist and legs, and called out to the outside of the house: "Diancui come in." ”
Diancui and a handful of maids and daughters-in-law had been waiting outside the house for a long time, and when she heard her wife call her, she hurriedly pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing that Gu Xi's face was much better than before, she boldly walked to Gu Xi's side and said, "Madam, the hour is not early, the slave will let someone bring you dinner." ”
Gu Xi didn't stop her, she stood up and walked to the dressing table on the side and stroked her somewhat disheveled sideburns slightly.
After Dian Cui finished instructing the little maids, he turned back and took the jade comb in Gu Xi's hand: "Madam, the Hou Ye and the two young masters have both come, and the slave maid didn't dare to disturb you, so she took it upon herself to ask them to go back." ”
Gu Xi smiled lightly: "I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, you did a good job." ”
Diancui didn't know what was wrong with her, the calmer her husband was, the more nervous she became, and even had a feeling of panic, as if something big was going to happen.
She didn't dare to ask any more, so she only helped Gu Xi to the side hall.
Gu Xi actually didn't have any appetite at all, but she still suppressed her doubts and used a good meal, no matter what she did, she needed physical strength, and she must not fall down at this time.
After dinner, she went back to the inner room and asked Diancui to invite Mama Zhang.
Mama Zhang is old, and there are no important things on weekdays, and Gu Xi generally doesn't let people bother her.
At this hour, she was already lying on the bed, and when she heard Diancui say that the lady was looking for herself, she hurriedly asked the little maid who was waiting to change her clothes and rushed over quickly.
Gu Xi was brought up by Mama Zhang, how could she not see that she was a little abnormal today.
Mama Zhang waved her hand, and all the maids and women retreated.
She walked up to Gu Xi and took her into her arms, and said softly: "Second Miss, don't keep it in your heart if you have something, talk to Mama." ”
Gu Xi has been married into the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion for nearly 20 years, and has taken care of the second room of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in an orderly manner with his own efforts, and the impression of gentleness and dignity has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but in fact, he is no longer used to such weakness.
But leaning on Mama Zhang's arms today, she couldn't help but sob.
Mama Zhang gently rubbed Gu Xi's shoulder like decades ago.
Her second lady has always buried her pain deep in her heart, and only showed her beautiful side to the world, who can understand how wronged she is.
Gu Xi has never been a person who likes to indulge in sadness, she quickly regained her composure, and after gently wiping the tears on her face with a handkerchief, she motioned for Mama Zhang to sit down.
Mama Zhang didn't say polite words and sat on the chair next to her.
Gu Xi said softly: "Mama, do you remember what happened on the day before Qixi Festival fourteen years ago?"
Mama Zhang's eyelids jumped, the day before Qixi Festival fourteen years ago, wasn't it the day the county lord was born? )
