Chapter 011: Shock
"Is there anything unsatisfactory about the big sister?"
Mrs. Zhao was old and couldn't bear to make noise, Gu Jialuo didn't have a long time in Daoxiangyuan, and simply reported to her grandmother about her life in Wumeng, and after showing her two baby daughters, she followed Song to say goodbye and leave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Back in the Song family's upper room, Gu Jialuo asked casually.
"Sister Lin?" Song was stunned at first, and then smiled clearly. Yes, just now in Daoxiang Courtyard, Gu Jialuo's eyes were about to catch fire, even the old lady who was getting worse and worse was aware of it, otherwise her old man would not have sent Gu Jialuo out so quickly.
Gu Jialuo was a bright-eyed person, so he naturally did not ignore the envy, jealousy and hatred of the Gu family.
In the Gu family, Gu Lin and Gu Jialuo are definitely the best in the boudoir, the two have been compared for almost twenty years, and Gu Lin has never won once.
Slowly, Gu Lin disliked Gu Jialuo in various ways, even the Gu family didn't like Gu Jialuo's niece.
Seeing Gu Shi's familiar expression, Gu Jialuo thought with his toes and knew that Gu Lin must be not doing well, at least not as good as her Gu Jialuo!
"Originally, I didn't want to tell you so early, after all, it's not a happy event, since you asked, I'll tell you to listen."
The Song family slowly said about Gu Lin's birth and loss of a daughter, and then said vaguely: "The male of the Xu family is not prosperous, although Xu Shanren does not know the son, but he is the beloved son of Mrs. Shou Chunbo, so-"
So Mrs. Shou Chunbo wanted to hold her grandson, but Gu Lin gave birth to two daughters in one go, and finally died of one.
Mrs. Shou Chunbo felt unlucky, and then when she heard that Qi Jinzhi was promoted back to Beijing, she thought of Gu Jialuo, who was 'Wangfu', and couldn't help but compare her daughter-in-law with the daughter-in-law of the county lord of Qinghe.
Mrs. Shou Chunbo found that Gu Lin, the daughter-in-law, was a little unworthy in marrying, although she was the granddaughter of the grandfather of the country, she was not born from the prince, and her identity was more than a star and a half worse than Gu Jialuo.
Gu Lin's temperament is also not very pleasant.
Back then, 'Gu Jialuo' was a famous arrogant and arrogant lady in Beijing, and Gu Lin's fame was not as big as 'Gu Jialuo', but it was not much better.
Think about it, Gu Lin has been compared with 'Gu Jialuo' for a lifetime, and 'Gu Jialuo' is arrogant, how could she lose to her in this little thing?
It's just that Gu Lin's identity is not as valuable as 'Gu Jialuo', and the foreign family is not as prominent as the Feng family, so she has some scruples when she does things, and there is 'Gu Jialuo' charging ahead, and the world only knows that the Gu family has a domineering second lady.
Gu Lin instead had a reputation for being 'gentle'.
But that is compared to 'Gu Jialuo', after she married into the Xu family, without 'Gu Jialuo' pressing on her head, her true temperament was gradually revealed.
Xu Shanren didn't feel anything, newlyweds, when they were most affectionate and affectionate, occasionally Gu Lin had a little temper, not only was he not annoyed, but he felt that it was fun. Sometimes he will respond positively and cooperate, and the relationship between the young couple becomes sweeter and sweeter.
But these fell in the eyes of Mrs. Shou Chunbo, who doted on her son, and became 'Gu's domineering, relying on her mother's strength, and not putting her husband in her eyes'.
If it's just a bad temper, what makes Mrs. Shou Chunbo most dissatisfied is that Gu Lin is too 'useless'. After marrying into the Xu family for so long, he couldn't help at all, and Xu Shanren was still the little one who served as a six-grade honor.
On the other hand, Gu Jialuo's husband, Qi Jinzhi, was only a seventh-grade Xiaozhi County three years ago, but in the blink of an eye, people were upgraded every year, and now they are even more of a five-grade Beijing official.
It's five products, it's still a Beijing official!
When Mrs. Shou Chunbo heard the news, her jealous heart and liver trembled. They are all sons-in-law of the Gu family, and the ladies they marry look similar, why is their luck so bad?
Mrs. Shou Chunbo is a woman, and in her thoughts, men are motivated, in addition to the teachings of their parents, the admonition of their teachers, and their own abilities, the help of their wives is also very important.
As the old saying goes, 'a virtuous wife and a husband are less in trouble'. Mrs. Shou Chunbo secretly gritted her teeth, hum, Brother Ren'er has a failed career, it must be Gu's wife who is not virtuous!
After a long time, the little things accumulated one by one, Mrs. Shou Chunbo became more and more dislike Gu Lin, because of the strength of the Gu family, she didn't dare to say it openly, but there was always a little meaning in the words.
Gu Lin was not stupid, and soon understood what Mrs. Shou Chunbo meant, and was very angry in her heart.
The partiality didn't say anything, and no matter how angry Gu Lin was, it was not easy to vent it directly, so she could only cry with her mother when the Gu family came to visit her.
“…… No, Mrs. Shou Chunbo has always been very discerning, how could she show her dissatisfaction with her eldest sister for no reason? ”
Gu Jialuo listened to Song's words, and suddenly felt that he couldn't cry or laugh. I was really shot while lying down.
But soon she noticed that something was wrong, suppressed her smile, and asked softly: "Could it be that there is any 'happy event' in the Xu family?" ”
This is a euphemism, and it is hard to say that the Xu family may have climbed to the top of the branches and relied on, so they don't take the Zhao Guogong Mansion in their eyes.
Song hooked the corners of his lips, "Xiang'er is still so alert." That's right, I heard your father say that Shou Chunbo Xu Jiye and Prince An's son have always been 'friends', and now Prince An's son is extremely strong, and even some of his old 'friends' are also decent. ”
Song also said very tactfully, the so-called 'friendship' is just fooling around together. The so-called 'friends' are basically fox friends and dog friends.
However, in these years, it is important to pay attention to the ascension of a chicken dog to heaven, Xiao Xuan is majestic, and his friends who drink and meat naturally tremble.
Gu Jialuo frowned, "Are they 'friends'?" "So that two people can also mix together?
After thinking about it, she was relieved again, and yes, there are many powerful people in Beijing, and they are in contact with each other, and after decades of operation, they can always have a little bit of a twist and turn relationship with each other.
Shou Chunbo is also a nobleman, and he loves to have fun, and it is not impossible to get acquainted with the old gentleman Xiao Xuan.
But for some reason, Gu Jialuo always had an uncomfortable feeling, and always felt that these people were doing something wrong under the banner of Master Miaozhen.
Now they are 'majestic', but everything they have done will have to be paid by the master in the future.
Just think about it, feel sorry for the master!
Song did not continue the topic, but said: "It's all irrelevant, don't take it to heart." ”
Song Shi paused, as if hesitating, and said after a while: "I remember that Ruo'er and his wife are living in the Qi family now, after you came back, have you ever gone to see her?" ”
Gu Jialuo was stunned, okay, why did my mother mention Yao Xiruo?
I thought that the Song family would talk about Master Miaozhen, after all, in the past three years, the master's various favors for Gu Jialuo were too high-profile, and even the officials in the southwest knew that the Song family was in Beijing, and it was impossible not to hear the news.
If the Song family is Gu Jialuo's biological mother, it would be fine, no matter how well Miaozhen treats Gu Jialuo, she will not think much about it. On the contrary, I am glad that my daughter is blessed and can be loved by nobles.
But the problem is that the Song family is a stepmother, it is a delicate relationship, and no one compares it in the past, so it is naturally very good.
But compared with Master Miaozhen, Song's 'mother' is suspected of being unloving.
Don't talk about it far away, let's talk about Gu Jialuo's production this time. After Gu Jialuo became pregnant, she wrote letters to both her relatives and the master in Kyori at the same time.
Song's response was decent, and he wrote to inquire about Gu Jialuo's physical condition, and sent someone to send various medicinal materials and medicinal food recipes to nourish the body. The Song family didn't do anything else, because she had to consider the arrangements of the Qi family.
Master Miaozhen didn't have so many worries, and directly selected from the slaves and maids under his door, and chose a stable woman, a nursing mother, and even a medical girl with superb medical skills was received in advance to Jingyue Nunnery.
Just waiting for Gu Jialuo's side for a few months, Master Miaozhen gave an order and sent all these people to Wumeng.
As for medicinal herbs, recipes and precious ingredients, they are sent to Wumeng as if they were not worth money.
The comparison between the two is immediate.
The nobles in the capital are not blind, they see all these in their eyes, on the bright side, no one will say that Song's stepmother is not as good as Miaozhen, an outsider, but the words in private are a little ugly.
Gu Jialuo didn't believe in the rumors outside the Song family, and before coming today, Gu Jialuo had repeatedly considered how to explain the Song family.
However, Song never mentioned it.
asked Qi Jinzhi and the two children...... At this time, even Yao Xiruo asked, but he didn't mention the central figure of the topic in Beijing today-Miaozhen.
Gu Jialuo's heart became more and more worried, but she still answered the question truthfully: "I heard that she was recuperating and it was not suitable to see guests, so I only asked people to send some medicinal herbs over." When she's better, it's not too late to see her again. ”
Song nodded, fiddling with the rosary on his wrist with his fingers, and said in a low voice: "Ruo'er, this child, alas, I don't know what's wrong, a few months ago, she specially asked your aunt to send me a few pots of flowers." ”
"Flowers?" Gu Jialuo's pupils shrank, and he asked in a lost voice: "Could it be a warbler?" ”
Song smiled, it seems that Xiang'er is not completely unsuspecting towards Yao Xiruo. That's it.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, it's the warbler." Fortunately, Qiong'er went home that day, and when she saw the flower, she said, 'Throw it out, throw it out', and I asked her to know that it was your reminder. ”
Gu Jialuo hurriedly said: "It was Qiong'er who inadvertently mentioned it when she wrote the letter, and I happened to know about it and told her." Mother, I really didn't know that Yao Xiruo was so mad, even you wanted it, I was the one who burdened you. ”
Why did Yao Xiruo send Song's warbler corns? Certainly not against the Song family.
The warbler is poisonous, but the warbler is not poisonous, but it is still very beautiful, and it is very interesting to watch alone.
Yao Xiruo was planning to put the charge of 'planting warbler millet with strange poison and bad intentions' on Gu Jialuo's head, and in order to successfully calculate Gu Jialuo, she took a multi-pronged approach and laid out several lines in the southwest.
Rao Gu Jialuo and Qi Jinzhi had prepared early, but they almost landed.
Yao Xiruo is still not at ease, and even Jingzhong has calculated it. A few pots of warbler corn flowers were given to the Song family just as an introduction, and the warbler corn fruit and a large number of finished products hidden in the Daoxiang Courtyard in the name of 'festival gifts sent from the southwest' were the main meal.
Fortunately, Gu Chong was vigilant, and after receiving Gu Jialuo's letter, he completely cleaned up the Zhao State Mansion, and destroyed all the poisons before the sage ordered a thorough investigation of the 'Yingsu Case', so as not to let the Zhao State Mansion get involved in that turmoil.
You must know that because of a 'warbler seed', the sage seized the Liu family's pharmacy and copied and inspected several noble families suspected of participating in Xiaoyao Pill and Immortal Paste such as Yongenbo Mansion, Song Guogong Mansion, Yongxing Marquis Mansion, etc.
Afterwards, although the saint did not punish him severely, he also explicitly reprimanded him, and three or four families who found pills and ointments were even fined by the saint for three years, and the official positions of the sons and nephews in the family were all reduced by three levels.
There was no bloodshed and killing, but those powerful people were also broken and their vitality was greatly damaged, and it would take several years to recover.
Yao Xiruo was ruthless in order to harm Gu Jialuo, and even his own family could be ruthless, without considering what kind of crisis the Zhao Guogong Mansion would face if the matter became a thing, which shows that he is ruthless.
This time, even Gu Chong was a little chilled, and Gu Ze'an and the Song family secretly crossed Yao Xiruo's name.
"It's all a family of flesh and blood, and what you say is not involved. Bad people are evil, don't we blame bad people, but we get angry that our family members are too good and provoke the jealousy of bad people? ”
It's rare for Song to say such a sensual thing, but when she says it, it makes people feel extraordinarily good.
Gu Jialuo smiled embarrassedly: "Mother, you are laughing at me again!" ”
Song patted the back of Gu Jialuo's hand, and the mother and daughter laughed for a while.
Then Song said: "She is not a good person, you stay away from her, and be more careful on weekdays." ”
After Yao Xiruo returned to Beijing, the Song family saw her twice, and always felt that she seemed to be a little crazy, and there was something wrong with her eyes. The grievances between Yao Xiruo and Gu Jialuo, others don't know, but the Song family is very clear, that day in the Tiejian, the cousins have their own calculations, and the Song family sees them all.
Yao Xiruo became even more paranoid than he was back then, and the Song family couldn't help but worry about Gu Jialuo.
Gu Jialuo's heart warmed at Shang Song's concerned eyes, and he nodded vigorously: "Thank you for your mother's concern, my daughter can save it." ”
No matter what happened in the past, the Song family is still very good to her now, and Gu Jialuo is grateful from the bottom of his heart to this woman with a truly noble soul.
……
The next day, Gu Jialuo packed up and wore a new blue background ten brocade brocade jacket, with a white thread skirt underneath, and the outside was covered with lotus green bucket pattern icing on the cake and foreign silk silk, and the whole body was full of elegance but nobility.
Today she is going to visit Master Miaozhen, even if she is going to visit the sick, then she can't dress red and gold, but she can't be too plain. Otherwise, it's not to visit the sick, but to annoy people.
Hugging the hand stove, Gu Jialuo led a few big girls such as crape myrtle and perilla, as well as three or four stout mothers-in-law out of the agarwood courtyard.
Xiao 19 and Xiao 13, who lived in the guest house, also rushed over one after another, they were excited and worried, they could finally see the master, and they didn't know what happened to her old man.
However, what everyone couldn't imagine was that when Gu Jialuo's carriage arrived at Prince An's mansion and went with the chariot to deliver the prayer post, he had a big closed door.
"What? Missing! ”
Gu Jialuo was taken aback. The master treated her well, and Prince An's Mansion also looked at her differently, thinking that Xiao Ruqi, obviously went to Annan to be a commander, but deliberately took a long detour to Wumeng to visit the couple, which shows the attitude of everyone in Prince An's Mansion towards her Gu Jialuo.
But what's wrong today, she politely posted a visit, but was thrown two hard words - no!
At this moment, an ordinary carriage turned at the entrance of the street, and the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the palace, and before the people in the car came down, the little maid of the gatehouse of the palace ran down, nodded and said to the people in the carriage: "It's the eldest lady who is here, please hurry up, the eldest princess and the princess are waiting for you." ”
The eldest princess? Isn't that the master of Miaozhen?
Gu Jialuo lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, just in time to see a young girl coming out of the carriage.
"Is that her? Impossible, how could it be Liu Chuchu? (To be continued.) )
