Chapter 9: The Fourth Aunt Strikes
Idle teahouse, the crime of rudeness.
The corners of Gu Qinghe's lips were slightly raised, Su Changqing, it seems that he is an interesting person, and he will meet you in three days.
Gu Qinghe stuffed the invitation card to the red bean: "It's burned." ”
Hongdou followed Gu Qinghe into the Orchid Garden, and asked worriedly: "Miss, you injured Miss Six and Miss Nine yesterday, will the eldest aunt come to embarrass Miss today?"
Red Bean mentions a problem. Gu Qinghe is not afraid that others will come to find trouble, but these women are also playing around with those small means, and she is annoyed. She's going to work out hard today, and try how long it will take for this body to get into action.
"You tell me to go down, Miss today, I will recuperate in the garden, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu come, I will not receive it. ”
"Don't even Siniang accept it?" a very coquettish female voice came from outside the courtyard, with a joking smile.
Gu Qinghe turned around and saw a woman in a gorgeous dress coming with the support of everyone.
The woman looks like she is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, her skin is as fair as cream, her makeup is appropriate, her body is plump, and her body exudes a mature charm that belongs to women. The woman came towards the courtyard, and her gestures had a charm of her own.
It's the fourth aunt.
To say that in this Gu Mansion, the only one who can compete with the eldest aunt is Mei Xiangning, the fourth aunt who was born in a royal merchant family.
The fourth aunt's family is rich and noble, and she will give Gu Fu a large sum of money and objects every year, and her status in Gu Fu is also unbreakable. In addition, the fourth aunt is younger and more beautiful than the eldest aunt, and she is naturally charming and will please Gu Manting, and she has a prosperous life in Gu's mansion.
came with the fourth aunt, as well as the fourth aunt's daughter Gu Xianghe. Gu Xianghe is thirteen years old this year and the fourth in the family. She inherited the fine tradition of Gu Manting and the fourth aunt, and has an exaggerated beautiful face, even in the entire Jin Zhao. In fact, in the past few years, Gu Xianghe's appearance at Gu Manting's birthday banquet has made folk rumors say that she is the first beauty in Xiangcheng.
Gu Xianghe has been trained by the fourth aunt since she was a child, she is knowledgeable and dignified, but her eyebrows and eyes are stained with the charm of the fourth aunt, this kind of coquettishness is less mature and charming, but it is unbearable, pure and dignified women plus a touch of coquettishness, not only men but even women can't help but look at it a few more times.
The fourth aunt and Gu Xianghe were surrounded by the maids, and Shi Shiran arrived at the gate of Lanyuan.
The fourth aunt stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at Gu Qinghe with a smile in her eyebrows: "Qinghe, can the fourth aunt get a cup of tea today?"
If the eldest aunt is a wolf, then the fourth aunt is a fox.
Over the years, the eldest aunt has made things difficult for Gu Qinghe for the position of his wife, so she has intensified her efforts step by step. And the fourth aunt is happy to watch the play, and sometimes she will help Gu Qinghe, the reason is self-evident, she is not for Gu Qinghe but for the eldest aunt. If the eldest aunt turns positive, it will only be bad for her, not good.
A gleam flashed in Gu Qinghe's eyes, but it was fleeting, and she bowed politely to the fourth aunt: "Fourth mother, please come in." ”
Several people entered the inner courtyard, and Gu Qinghe instructed the red beans to go down and soak a pot of good Biluochun, and of course he didn't forget to let her bring him a pot of boiled water.
"Siniang is here today, but is there something wrong?" Gu Qinghe has never liked to beat around the bush.
"I heard that you have been sick for a few days, so I came to see you today. The fourth aunt motioned to the maid to bring a gift box, "Here is a century-old ginseng, let the people stew the soup to make you up." ”
Gu Qinghe took it unceremoniously, she didn't look at it, and put it aside: "Thank you Siniang!"
Gu Xianghe couldn't help but glance at Gu Qinghe a few more times, and saw that her behavior was no longer as timid as before, but calm, and her heart was really different.
"We heard that you fought with Linghe Meihe yesterday, I wonder if Sister Qinghe was hurt?" Gu Xianghe asked softly.
Gu Qinghe said: "Thank you Fourth Sister for your concern, I'm fine." But when Siniang and the four sisters came to Lanyuan today, wouldn't it be as simple as giving ginseng?
The fourth aunt covered her mouth and chuckled, and there was a touch of approval in her eyes when she looked at Gu Qinghe: "Qinghe is really different." Today, Siniang is here, and there is indeed something important to discuss. ”
"Speak. ”
The fourth aunt said: "I also know what happened yesterday, I'm afraid the eldest aunt won't let you go." Qinghe, have you ever thought about what will happen next?"
Gu Qinghe lowered his eyes, hiding the thoughts in his eyes. The fourth aunt's intention is obvious, doesn't she just want to join forces with her to deal with the eldest aunt.
In the past, Gu Qinghe was weak and stupid, and the fourth aunt didn't even look at her, but now Gu Qinghe has been forced into a desperate situation, and people in a desperate situation can do anything, such as beating Linghe Meihe yesterday. Therefore, in the eyes of the fourth aunt, the current Gu Qinghe has some use value.
Moreover, Gu Qinghe is now fighting alone, if she wants to survive in this Gu Mansion, she must find a backer, and this backer can only be herself. As long as the eldest aunt is removed, it is not impossible for her to unload the mill and kill the donkey.
Gu Qinghe raised his eyes, his eyes were bright, which actually forced the fourth aunt to be a little frightened.
"Siniang, do you want to join forces with me to deal with the eldest aunt?" Gu Qinghe shook his head and chuckled, "This kind of trivial matter is not worth Siniang's personal trip." ”
Gu Qinghe said it so clearly, the fourth aunt and Gu Xianghe were stunned.
Besides, she said that it was a trivial matter, and was it a trivial matter to deal with the eldest aunt?
"Siniang, I have a big business to cooperate with you, do you want to hear it?" Gu Qinghe said with bewilderment.
"Big business?" the fourth aunt seemed to hear some joke, "you might as well talk about it." ”
Gu Qinghe signaled and ordered the maids to go down, leaving only the four aunts, Gu Xianghe and Gu Qinghe, in the house.
"Since Siniang knows what happened in the Orchid Garden yesterday, then you should also know about the Third Highness's praise of me, right?"
Gu Qinghe didn't say that it was okay, but Gu Xianghe's face was a little ugly.
Seeing that the two were silent, Gu Qinghe said again: "Then do you know what my father told me when he asked me to go to the study just now?"
"Could it be ......" Gu Xianghe was surprised, and suddenly felt out of shape again, and hurriedly stopped.
"Yes. Gu Qinghe affirmed Gu Xianghe's thoughts, "In the middle of next month, the emperor will lead the prince and important ministers to Lushan to hunt for the summer, and my father will take me there at that time, and he specially instructed me to get closer to the third highness." ”
The hands in Gu Xianghe's sleeves couldn't help pinching their palms. She didn't know about her father's support for the Three Highnesses, and her mother also instructed her to show more in front of the Three Highnesses, and strive to win the favor of the Three Highnesses. In addition, the third highness is handsome, brave and resourceful, and he is the husband in her mind.
I think she only saw the third highness the next time she met, and she wanted to be his wife, but now......
The fourth aunt was obviously much calmer than Gu Xianghe, she straightened her face and said to Qinghe: "How do you want to trade?"
