Gu Sanniang slept soundly all night, and when she woke up the next day, she didn't see the two children when she opened her eyes, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the maid outside the house heard the movement inside, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in, and said: "Brother and sister have breakfast in the aunt's courtyard, and the aunt knows that you are still asleep, and tells us not to wake you up." ”

Gu Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, these days, there have been accidents one after another at home, she is like a frightened bird, as long as the children are not in front of her, she will panic.

The maid went out to bring toiletries, Gu Sanniang glanced out the window, it was bright outside, it was not early, she got out of bed to freshen up, and went to her second sister's yard.

At this time, Gu Erniang was leading the two children to eat, she saw Gu Sanniang coming in, and said with a smile: "I just can't wake up for a while." ”

There was a waiting maid in the room who handed Gu Sanniang a handkerchief, Gu Sanniang wiped her hands, and sat down next to the two children, the breakfast on the table was very exquisite, although the two children felt very strange, but they were still in order, Gu Sanniang saw that Brother Yu'er's spirit was much better, and her heart was completely relieved.

After breakfast, the servants removed the remnants, and Gu Sanniang said to Gu Erniang: "Second sister, I am going to Beijing with my two children today." ”

Gu Erniang had just reunited with her sister, how could she be willing to let Gu Sanniang go, she said: "This journey is thousands of miles, you are a woman and a Taoist family, how can it be so easy, you stay in the house honestly, I will send someone to the capital to find my brother-in-law back." ”

Gu Sanniang wanted to speak and stopped, Shen Zhuo was involved in the imperial examination fraud case, and the hidden story behind it may be even more complicated, how should she tell the second sister.

Gu Erniang saw that Gu Sanniang was silent, and asked, "What, what are your concerns?" ”

Gu Sanniang opened her mouth, she was about to speak, when she heard a stack of voices outside: "The master is here." ”

The two sisters who were talking stopped, Gu Erniang straightened her clothes, and took the initiative to greet her, and after a while, she saw a slightly plump man walking in, he was wearing a brocade robe, a square scarf, and a beard on his chin, which looked very blessed, needless to say, this person was Xue Yongzhou, the assassin of Tongcheng.

After entering the house, Xue Yongzhou said to Gu Erniang: "I heard that you found your mother's sister, you can be considered at ease now." ”

Since yesterday, there have been people from all rooms to inquire, so it is not uncommon for Xue Yongzhou to know, Gu Erniang called Gu Sanniang, and Gu Sanniang stepped forward and gave a blessing to Xue Yongzhou, calling him Lord Xue.

That Xue Yongzhou just bowed slightly, he sat in Gu Erniang's courtyard for a while before leaving, Gu Erniang wanted to talk to her sister affectionately, and wished that Xue Yongzhou would go to another courtyard, so naturally he didn't leave him.

After he left, there were only two Gu sisters left in the house, Gu Sanniang decided not to hide it anymore, she said with a straight face: "Second sister, I have something to tell you. “

Gu Erniang said: "My sister, what do you do, you just have to say it." ”

Gu Sanniang took a deep breath, she said: "I'll tell you the truth, Xianggong's friend was raided, he originally went to Beijing to visit him, but who knew that soon news came, saying that Xianggong was involved in the imperial examination fraud case and had been imprisoned, and I took the child to see him on this trip." ”

Sister's words made Gu Erniang shocked, she has followed Xue Yongzhou to many places in the past few years, and she can be regarded as having seen some of the world, for example, anyone who cheats in the imperial examination will be robbed of their fame, and those who are guilty of serious crimes are more likely to bring the whole clan.

"I know that this matter is not trivial, Lord Xue is still an official in the court, if he doesn't do it well, this matter will not affect him, I am determined to take the child away, if I can escape this time, I will go back to Tongcheng to find my sister." Gu Sanniang said.

Gu Erniang hesitated for a moment, and she said, "Otherwise, I'll go and talk to the master, maybe he can help." ”

Gu Sanniang held her hand, she shook her head and said: "Don't embarrass Lord Xue, don't make a noise about this, we are sisters, except for this inner house, I don't know much, and I can't affect the Xue Mansion if I want to." ”

After listening to Gu Sanniang's plan, Gu Erniang burst into tears, she took her hand and persuaded bitterly: "Sanniang, listen to the second sister's words, don't go to Beijing, you can live a good life with the two children, and you are worthy of your brother-in-law." ”

Thinking of Shen Zhuo, who was in prison, Gu Sanniang's eyes were red, and she said, "Second sister, don't persuade me, no one can change my determination." ”

Second Sister Gu was so angry that she slapped Gu Sanniang twice, and she scolded: "Why are you as tough as when you were a child? My brother-in-law committed a felony, didn't you take the children to death? ”

Gu Sanniang sat upright, Gu Erniang slapped her twice, and seeing that she was still unmoved, she had to stop and wipe her tears vigorously.

Seeing the second sister crying angrily, Gu Sanniang pursed her lips, and after a long time, she said, "Second sister, you must go to Beijing." ”

Gu Erniang cried for a long time, she wiped away her tears, looked at her sister and said: "You insist on going to Beijing, I can't stop you, but you have to make a good deal, you stay in the house for two days for the time being, and I will send someone to send you to Beijing." ”

In fact, Gu Erniang wanted to use a trick to delay the army, she knew that she couldn't persuade her sister, but she didn't want her to go to Beijing to take risks, so she selfishly thought about secretly sending her to the countryside to avoid a period of time. Who knew that Gu Sanniang was moved when she saw her second sister so lightly, and she was inevitably a little suspicious, but after all, she was a biological sister, and her second sister would not harm her no matter what, thinking about it, Gu Sanniang nodded and agreed.

Gu Erniang promised a few words, and called her daughter-in-law to find a competent subordinate to arrange the matter, Gu Sanniang saw that her second sister was so attentive, and her doubts were dispelled.

Gu Sanniang accompanied her sister for a long time, and she was always thinking about going to Beijing, but Gu Erniang wanted to keep her for two more days, and the two sisters hadn't seen each other for many years.

Speaking of Xiao Yezi, because Gu Erniang herself has no children, she is Gu Erniang's niece, and she is still a good child who is knowledgeable, so Gu Erniang really hurt her to the heart, in the past two days, a lot of newly cut clothes, shoes and socks have been delivered, and a few gold lock collars have been played, dressing her up like a rich girl.

Speaking of which, although Xiao Yezi said that she had only recognized her aunt for a few days, she was very close to Gu Erniang, and she often came to talk to Gu Erniang in the past two days, on this day, Xiao Yezi came to her courtyard again, Gu Erniang was talking to a mother-in-law, she saw her coming, hugged Xiao Yezi with a smile, and asked, "What about your mother, why are you the only one who comes?" ”

Xiao Yezi replied: "Aren't you going to leave for Beijing tomorrow, my mother is packing her bags in the house, and I saw that there were those sisters in the house to help, so I came to find my aunt and naughty." ”

Gu Erniang paused, then touched the top of Xiao Yezi's head, and she asked, "Your mother and younger brother are going to the capital, are you willing to stay with your aunt, and when your mother comes back, will you go home again?" ”

Xiao Yezi hesitated, she lowered her head and thought for a long time, and said in a muffled voice: "My aunt is very good to me, but I still want to accompany my mother and younger brother to find my father." ”

Gu Erniang pretended to be angry and said, "Your mother doesn't listen to me, do you want to follow me too?" ”

Seeing this, Xiao Yezi hurriedly took Gu Erniang's hand, she said: "Auntie, don't worry, I'll go with me, it's all to share my mother's worries and solve problems, don't look at me as small, in fact, I can do a lot of things." ”

Seeing that she was so sensible at such a young age, Gu Erniang couldn't bear it anymore, she sighed and said to Xiao Yezi: "You are a good child, the bad is your mother, you don't listen to people's persuasion, you have to go all the way to the dark, and I don't think about you." ”

Xiao Yezi wanted to defend her mother a few words, but she swallowed the words in her mouth, just because she also knew that her aunt was angry in her heart because her mother was going to Beijing.

At noon, Xiao Yezi finished eating in Gu Erniang's house, and after being stubborn for a while, Gu Erniang called the maid to watch her take a nap, this little leaf was awakened by urine when she was sleeping, and accidentally heard the sound of her aunt talking to someone outside, Xiao Yezi didn't care at first, but then she heard her mother mentioned, and she woke up completely.

I saw her aunt ask, "Are the carriages and horses ready, and how many people are left in the Zhuangzi to serve?" ”

Xiao Yezi was puzzled, didn't he say that he wanted to go to Beijing, why did he say Zhuangzi? Just when she was thinking to herself, the person who replied said: "It's all very proper, thinking that Gu Niangzi still has two children, and she deliberately left two more mothers-in-law, and all the food and clothing have been sent in advance." ”

There was a quiet outside, and after a while, I heard Gu Erniang sigh and say: "If my sister knew that I didn't send her to Beijing, but sent her to a remote Zhuangzi, maybe she would hate me." ”

Presumably the woman who replied was her confidant, she said: "The third aunt doesn't have to blame herself too much, you are also for the good of Gu Niangzi, presumably after a while, she will naturally be able to understand your hard work." ”

Gu Erniang sighed softly, she said: "Hate it, hate it, I just hope to save her life." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yezi still didn't understand anything, she was secretly surprised, if she hadn't overheard the conversation between her aunt and people today, her mother would still be kept in the dark, although her aunt is kind, but her mother has a stubborn temperament, even if she is sent to a remote place, her mother will still want to take her and her brother Yu to Beijing.

Xiao Yezi thought to herself, she didn't make a sound, and she didn't know how long it took, the sound outside gradually faded, Xiao Yezi got dressed and got out of bed, and quietly went back to her mother to discuss.
