Chapter Fifty-Eight: Slander
Gu Lanxuan thought about this reason, so she got up and said with a smile: "In this case, this matter should be sooner rather than later, I will go and discuss it with my eldest sister." ”
Aunt Zhuang also got up and said, "You go, I'll go to talk to Aunt Han, hehe, she is afraid that she is hesitating whether to say this in front of the master at this time, I just happened to give her a reassuring pill." ”
"Yes, my mother wants to be in control, and I must let Aunt Han believe it." Gu Lanxuan said with a smile. But seeing Aunt Zhuang nodded, she said leisurely: "After so many years, I still don't know her?" Don't worry, I only made the appearance that I was afraid that she would say bad things about the big girl in front of the master, and she would definitely say this. ”
When the words fell, the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and then went out together.
*******************
"The master only came back yesterday evening, I don't know what the eldest girl did, and the wife is angry and vomits blood."
Aunt Han has been in a hurry to say this in front of Gu Mingyang since Aunt Zhuang "performed" in front of her, but it was a coincidence, it happened that Gu Mingyang came to her house to rest last night, so early this morning, she served Gu Mingyang for breakfast, and while she was tidying up his official clothes, she pretended to gossip and said this.
When Gu Mingyang suddenly heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly stopped his movements and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" You tell me about it. ”
Aunt Han said: "It's nothing, didn't the two boxes of jewelry of the second son of the Xiao family say that they were for the eldest girl?" The eldest girl was very proud, and showed a frivolous attitude in front of her wife, which made her angry. ”
Master Gu's eyes sharpened. Stared at Aunt Han and said, "Qiluo has always been sensible, and he will never get carried away because of two boxes of jewelry, what is going on?" The wife was so angry that she vomited blood. It can be seen that it is very strict, why didn't she tell me when I went to the room yesterday evening? ”
"Isn't that looking forward to home and prosperity? How do you talk to the master? It's the concubine who is unfair as a wife, so she makes her own claim today...... "Of course, Aunt Han refused to say that it was Mrs. Lu Gu Jinxiu and her daughter who were rude first, because Gu Mingyang looked at him with such a sharp gaze, he felt a little panicked in his heart, and his eyes wandered left and right. He was only halfway through the words, and he refused to say any more.
"In the future, I will have nothing to do with embroidery, and I can raise two pots of flowers and plants. Learn less from the long-tongued women who gossip all day. ”
When Master Gu saw Aunt Han's weak appearance, he understood a little, snorted coldly, and put the official hat on his head. Seeing that Aunt Han had to come to help tidy up. He shook his hand, straightened his hat, turned and walked out.
Aunt Han's face turned pale, and she didn't understand why the old man heard that his wife was so angry that she vomited blood, and she still looked so indifferent, was it because the eldest girl was about to become the second grandmother of Xiao Mansion, so even the old man began to be afraid of her?
As soon as she thought of this, Aunt Han's body went soft. Sitting on the chair: If even the master can't ban the eldest girl, he will follow his wife with all his heart. Isn't that a dead end? Stupid, why didn't I understand this joint before, and took the initiative to charge for my wife, to be honest, what does that woman have to do with whether she vomits blood or not.
Because of the Xiao family's employment, Gu Mingyang specially asked the Shangguan for instructions and transferred Xiu Mu to these two days, so he did not go to the yamen after the next court, but returned to the mansion and muttered in the study for a long time, thinking about what Aunt Han said in the morning, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became, because he was about to go to see Mrs. Zhou, he listened to the report of the little girl outside: "Master, the spring rain in the eldest girl's room came to see if the master was there, probably the eldest girl will come over later." ”
"Okay, got it." Gu Mingyang agreed, so the little guy avoided it by himself, and sure enough, after a while, Gu Qiluo carried a food box into the courtyard, and after arriving in the study, she took out the snacks in the food box, and said with a smile: "It's half a morning now, Daddy is only afraid that he is a little hungry, it just so happens that this is a new snack made of apricot blossoms, puff pastry, Daddy taste it." ”
"yes, okay." Gu Mingyang looked at the plate of beef tongue cake with a very chic shape, picked up a piece, and a fine puff pastry fell down, because he took a bite, he nodded and smiled: "It's really crispy, such a good dim sum is even those time-honored dim sum shops in Beijing, and it is difficult to get it, and the girl in Xinghua still has this craftsmanship." Did you send it to my wife to taste? ”
"Before I came, I asked Xinghua to send some to each room, and I don't know how my wife and aunts are eating. In addition, I have to tell my father one thing, that is, the last time I told my father about the Baiwei Restaurant, now because the prince has been there, there are more guests, although I only need to make three tables of banquets a day, but it is not easy, so my daughter has reported to her grandmother, from today on, let Xinghua go there every day to cook for a few days, and when she finds a good cook, she will not have to go out every day. ”
Gu Mingyang's hand stiffened, shook his head and said, "My son is about to leave the cabinet, why do you always think about such things every day?" After speaking, he sighed again, shook his head and said: "That's it, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciates it, maybe when it will pass, this Baiwei Pavilion can't help but do it." Just do as you say, have you reported this to your wife? ”
Gu Qiluo stuck out his tongue and whispered: "Mrs. is strict, my daughter has always followed the rules in front of her, and she didn't dare to mention this stubble, so I went to tell my grandmother about it first, and then came to my father to ask for instructions, pulling the two of you big flags, so I dared to go to my wife to say it." ”
"You, you." Gu Mingyang shook his head with a wry smile, thought about it and said, "You are indeed relying on the favor of your grandmother and me, and you are making nonsense." Although Mrs. is strict, she is also good for you, and what she said seriously is the reason why you are a girl's family. As a father, it is only because of guilt and love, and because Xiaomen is also free and easy, so he indulges you very much, but it is okay to have a wife who is forbidden to be controlled, and you can't have a knot in her heart because of this. Yesterday, you were proud in front of your wife because of the two boxes of jewelry that Jiangbei gave you, but you knew that you were so angry that you vomited blood? I'm going to apologize today. ”
"What? Mrs. vomiting blood? ”
Gu Qiluo pretended to be shocked and stood up, and said in amazement: "What...... How so? Oh, this thing is really wrong with my daughter, alas! It's all my fault. ”
She stomped her foot lightly with a look of annoyance, and blamed herself: "It's all my fault, what are you angry with my two sisters?" It's just that, Daddy Mingjian, my daughter is really not deliberately angry with his wife, it's just ...... was a little unfair in my heart at the time, and I couldn't help but stab my third sister twice, if I knew that there would be such consequences, my daughter would not have said those words. The daughter already knew that she was wrong, and early this morning, she asked Chunyu to send the beloved jewelry of the third sister and the fourth sister to make amends to them, and she also admitted her mistake in front of his wife, but he ...... I really didn't know that my wife was so angry that she vomited blood yesterday. ”
"Huh?"
When Gu Mingyang heard this, something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "What's going on?" You say it well, dad is not unreasonable, but are your sisters rude? ”
"No, my sisters are still young, it's not good for me to be a sister, because of my grandmother's illness, I've been restless these days, so I see ...... I can't help but be a little angry, alas! In short, all the mistakes are my fault, knowing that my father is busy outside, and my wife is taking care of the house, it is not easy, and I still caused such a storm. ”
Gu Mingyang saw that his daughter looked guilty, his brows furrowed slightly, and he knew that he couldn't ask anything in her mouth, so he didn't say anything more. Gu Qiluo immediately said that he was going to make porridge with Xiao Jiangbei and save some reputation for the two of them, Master Gu pondered for a long time, nodded and said: "Okay, since this matter has been arranged by Jiangbei, you can go over, but you'd better not show up, and don't talk to him more, lest your reputation be irretrievable, and let the people in the capital spread new rumors for you." ”
Gu Qiluo agreed, said a few more gossips, and then said goodbye and left. And Gu Mingyang thought about it, ate two more snacks, and went to Aunt Zhuang's room.
*********************
"What? Aunt Han actually said that? She's really good at pleasing her wife. Daddy, don't blame his daughter for speaking straight, it's really unfair. Didn't you see that scene at that time, before the eldest sister came, the third sister opened the two jewelry boxes, picked them up with the fourth sister, and shouted for the jewelry there......"
"What you say is true? Those two...... Are they really so rude? ”
Sure enough, when she arrived at Aunt Zhuang's place, as soon as she told her about the matter, Gu Lanxuan immediately became indignant, and after finishing speaking, she saw her father being angry, and she became more and more calm in her heart, and snorted coldly: "I'm not afraid that my father will know that my daughter is close to her eldest sister, but I will never frame my sisters because I am close to my eldest sister." Yesterday was such a scene, the eldest sister returned to the room and told me that she was too impetuous. Because early this morning, I sent someone to give the third sister and the fourth sister pearls and jade pendants that they liked. As for the wife vomiting blood, it shouldn't be for this, right? What kind of mind is the wife? How could you vomit blood because of a few words from your big sister? If it weren't for those few words, she wouldn't have felt sorry for those two boxes of jewelry falling into the hands of her big sister......"
"Second girl, don't be disrespectful to your wife."
Aunt Zhuang broke off, so Gu Lanxuan stopped talking, but she still turned her head and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not disrespectful to my wife, it's obvious that Aunt Han is making a big fuss, maybe the people are also spreading falsehoods." After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Gu Mingyang and said, "Daddy shouldn't come to ask us about this, but should go directly to ask his wife." ”
"Why are you getting more and more unruly? And the old man also dared to talk like this. ”
Aunt Zhuang scolded again, but heard Gu Mingyang say lightly: "My father and daughter, what do you pay attention to?" After speaking, she drank a cup of tea, her eyes narrowed slightly, so Aunt Zhuang knew that the master took this matter to heart, and couldn't help but glance at her daughter lightly, and the mother and daughter were relieved at the same time.
