(If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" now and follow it to give more support to "Qiluo"!) Chun Xing was stunned, she didn't expect that this big girl from the countryside had just entered the mansion and was going to challenge her wife's authority, this is ...... Is it clear that the carriage and horse are going to be opposed to the wife? Don't even take it for a while? Also, as soon as I entered the house, I knew that I was assigned to such a family, and the clay figure still had three points of earthiness, not to mention that it was related to his life. Now that this big girl can still sit here upright, she can be regarded as calm, right? If you are really ignorant and go to your wife early, where will you only express your dissatisfaction with your wife by changing your name?
It's just a name, not to mention that this name was given by Mrs. Lu after entering the mansion, and there was no reluctance, Chun Xing naturally would not disobey the current master because of this kind of thing, so she said respectfully: "Thank you girl for giving her name, the slave will be called Xinghua in the future, and she will be called Chunyu." β
Although Chunyu is young, she is also clever, and she knows that Xinghua is a thoughtful person, so she is also busy saluting and saying: "Yes, the slave also thanks the girl for giving her name." β
"Okay, you go down, I'll rest too, seeing that it's almost noon, come in and call me."
Gu Qiluo stood up and watched the two girls withdraw, she stretched her waist slightly, her eyes narrowed slightly: Hehe, as soon as she entered the capital, the fire pit traps were all prepared for herself, and this home really gave her a big surprise.
**********************
"Old lady, my lord is back."
As the voice of the little girl outside the curtain sounded, the door curtain was opened, and a middle-aged man forty miles away walked in slowly, this is the Gu family's master, Gu Mingyang, who was the Gu family's master at the time.
Gu Qiluo raised his head slightly, and carefully looked at the man who came in: he was still a handsome middle-aged man, his demeanor was calm and calm, and his face was full of a smile like a spring breeze, which was different from Mrs. Lu's hypocritical affectionate smile, this Gu Mingyang's actions and demeanor did give people a gentle feeling like a spring breeze.
When he entered the room and saw Mrs. Zhou sitting in the middle, Gu Mingyang's face showed a very excited look, and he walked a few steps to the old lady and knelt down, choking and said: "The unfilial son visited his mother, and his mother has suffered in her hometown all these years." β
"I don't blame you, it's because I'm afraid that I won't be used to living in the capital, so I won't come. Okay, get up, it's all fathers, don't freak out the kids. Mrs. Zhou was also excited and happy when she saw her son, and Amber next to her hurriedly wiped away the old lady's tears with a handkerchief.
Gu Mingyang stood up and turned his head to look at the girls standing on the side. Mrs. Lu hurriedly stepped forward, took Gu Qiluo's hand and sent it to him, and said with a smile: "The master is at home, and he always thinks of the old lady and the eldest girl, and now the family is finally reunited, and the concubine is also happy for the master." Look, this is our big girl, how good does she look? The demeanor is also calm, in the end, the old lady is trained, no more than her sisters, who will only be naughty all day long. β
"My daughter has seen her father."
Gu Qiluo saluted solemnly again, and secretly looked at Master Gu's expression from the corner of his eyes, and found that this father did have excitement and concern in his eyes, but his face was calm, and he smiled: "No need to be polite, my father is busy with government affairs, and I haven't seen you for three years, and now I am taller than three years ago, and I have really grown into a big girl, and I am becoming more and more like your mother......"
Speaking of the last sentence, there was a trace of choked up in his words, Gu Mingyang hurriedly stopped talking, sat down under Mrs. Zhou and asked about their entry into Beijing.
This father really doesn't look like he sells his daughter for the sake of his career. But if it's not selling women for glory, how can this family business be explained? Or is this guy's acting skills too high, so he even deceived me, the white bone spirit who has read countless people?
Gu Qiluo is more inclined to the latter in his heart: how can he be mixed in officialdom without exercising a little cheekiness and acting skills? Therefore, he was a little cold to this father, Gu Mingyang asked her a few words, and she also dealt with it without being salty.
Gu Mingyang has been an official for so many years, how can he not even see his daughter's estrangement from him? Because of the strangeness in my heart, I secretly said that this is not a strange alienation that I haven't seen for a long time, nor is it that my daughter is older to avoid her father's alienation, strange, this child used to see me very affectionately, how come now that I have come to Beijing, the family can reunite in the future and enjoy the joy of family, she is separated from me?
After thinking about it, I understood a little. Therefore, after dinner, he thought about it carefully, and then said to Gu Qiluo: "Qiluo, you and I go to the study, and I have something to say to you for my father." β
Gu Qiluo glanced at him suspiciously, thinking to himself, what can you say to me? If it's for that family business, your good step-room has already told me in the afternoon, this kind of thing, you shouldn't be your father to sue me, right?
So I couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Zhou, but saw the old lady smiling with relief, and said softly, "Since your father asked you to come over, he has his own reason, so you can go over." β
Gu Mingyang stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead, and secretly said that I am really a failure to be a father, even my own daughter doesn't believe me, I have to look at her grandmother first, girl, my father and I are not tigers, are you afraid that I will eat you?
While thinking about it, she also knew that the rumors in Beijing were powerful, no wonder her daughter was dissatisfied with herself in her heart. So after coming to the study, he didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point: "Qiluo already knows the family affairs set for you by your father?" β
Such directness seems to be very upright and worthy of the heart.
Gu Qiluo looked at the man with a calm face, a little surprised in his heart, and said secretly: Nani? The acting skills are so high that they are against the sky? Is it outrageously thick to be skinned? No, such a talent, how can he be mixed into a five-grade official until now, this is not in line with the laws of officialdom.
was shocked in his heart, but his face was not happy, but he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly: "Yes, my daughter already knows, and my grandmother also knows what my wife told my daughter in the afternoon." β
Gu Mingyang nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard and said, "Well, I'll just say, you and your father have reunited after a long absence, why are you so lukewarm, you really know about it, so you know all the rumors in the capital?" β
Gu Qiluo now has some belief that Gu Mingyang is not the sinister and ruthless father who sells his daughter for glory in her imagination, but she is still a little curious, and secretly said that your old man arranged such a marriage for me, but I want to hear how you explain it now.
Therefore, he remained silent, which was equivalent to acquiescing in Gu Mingyang's statement, which made Gu Mingyang a little surprised, and after a few more serious glances at his daughter, Fang shook his head and sighed with a smile: "Your child's temperament is stubborn and tough, alas! At the beginning, your mother was also such a character, in the county, who didn't know that the Yao family girl was the most daring and reckless, so that she ruined the boss...... Ahem, I originally said that you weren't like her, and it seems that you haven't grown up yet. But child, you listen to your father, you have to be soft in everything, how can you say that you are also an official eunuch now, you can't be nonsense like in the countryside. β
Gu Qiluo's eyes lit up slightly, thinking that this was crooked, first give my father a preventive shot, let him know what kind of character I am, and from then on, I did something out of the ordinary, and he was also on guard. Hum! With such a stepmother, you still want me to be a white rabbit? Don't talk nonsense, girl, am I the kind of person who swallows my anger?
Gu Mingyang saw that his daughter didn't speak, and he understood her toughness more and more, but he thought in his heart that this eldest daughter was filial piety in front of her mother, and she had not been taught and raised by her side since she was a child, so he felt ashamed, and when he thought of his wife, he also sighed to himself, he was not the kind of old-fashioned and stern person, so he didn't say anything to the tough Gu Qiluo, just groaned for a while, and turned the topic to the marriage.
"Everyone says that Xiao Jiaerlang is a murderous maniac, but in fact, this is all nonsense, a dignified seven-foot man, defending the family and defending the country and killing the Tartars, how can he be called a murderous maniac? It's just that everyone listened to the rumors that he was tall and ugly, and after being covered in blood, he was like a hellish Shura. This is actually a miscommunication, my father heard that although Xiao Jiangbei is not a beautiful man in the wind of Yushu, he is also tall and mighty, and he is definitely not the ugly person mentioned in the rumors in the capital. β
This explanation was a bit unexpected by Gu Qiluo, but she quickly discovered the point in these words, because she said softly: "Daddy, there may not be no reason for nothing, everyone in the capital said this, and these rumors came from the mouths of several sons of the family, and the credibility is not low." You said that you listened to someone else's words, saying that the son of the Xiao family was miscommunicated, but I don't know who the other person in your mouth is? Is he reliable? Has he ever seen each other in person? β
"You child, just these few words, you know how wild you are." Master Gu shook his head frequently and sighed: "How can any young lady ask such a question?" β
"Daddy said, I'm from the countryside, my temperament is inevitably wild, even if I want to be restrained, I have to take my time, not to mention, this is related to my life, how can my daughter not ask a clear understanding?"
In a short period of time, Gu Qiluo understood Gu Mingyang's character a little, so he was not afraid of these words, but stepped forward, gently shook his father's sleeve, bit his lip and whispered: "Daddy doesn't look at his daughter's sake, but also on his daughter's care of her grandmother over the years, and her daughter's early death......
"Alas! You kid. β
Seeing his daughter's pitiful appearance, Master Gu immediately softened, and after thinking for a while, he said: "That person is naturally credible, he is your wife's cousin, he has always done business in various places, often goes to the border gates, and has seen Xiao Jiangbei from afar a few times before. Good boy, don't worry, Daddy promised you to the Xiao family, maybe you can get a little cheap in your career, but Dad is not the kind of person who sells his daughter for glory for the future, and the Xiao family is a good person, you won't be angry if you marry, and although Xiao Erlang is not a brilliant person, he has these exploits at a young age, and his future is still good. As for Ke's wife, it was a miscommunication, General Xiao told me that his son's eight characters are very good, and he is not lonely and hard, but he is angry with these rumors, and only says that he will find out in the future, so he refuses to explain, if he is not good with his father, he will not tell me. Because of these, my father will marry this marriage for you, otherwise although you are also a daughter, but you have been in the countryside for more than ten years, it is not easy to find a good one. β
