Chapter 2: Family Affairs
"Yes, your old man's hard work, the lord and daughter-in-law both understand." Mrs. Lu smiled, and watched a few girls pull Gu Qiluo's sister and sister up, and she smiled: "Okay, I know that you are afraid of restraint here, let's all go out and play, take your big sister for a walk in the house, your big sister is new to here, you sisters should do your best." ”
The girls agreed with a smile, and then pulled Gu Qiluo out of the door. Here Mrs. Lu personally held the tea and handed it to Mrs. Zhou, and then sat down, and said with a smile: "The master will probably come back from the yamen in the evening, originally he should have been waiting for you at home, but the yamen has been busy these days because of the taxes from all over the country into Beijing, so I dare not miss the official business, and please forgive me." ”
"Yes, business matters."
Mrs. Zhou's eyelids met and she said lightly. She understands her son, and it is probably true that he is busy with business, but it may not be so busy to this point, I think this woman doesn't know what clever words she said, coaxing her son to be diligent in political affairs, she just took the opportunity to give herself a dismount: an old lady who doesn't even care about her son very much, what kind of storm can she afford in the house? Be interested in it as soon as possible, don't worry about everything, just take care of your old age.
Mrs. Lu understood from Mrs. Zhou's attitude that she clearly felt the power of this dismount, and she was very satisfied: there is an extra mother-in-law in the mansion, and it is just a matter of morning and dusk, but if you want to use the majesty of your mother-in-law to suppress yourself, or even take part of the power in this mansion to her granddaughter, then don't even think about it. I hope that this dismount can make the old lady recognize the situation, so that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can get along.
"The old lady must be tired after walking for these days, so the wife might as well tell the old lady the good news, maybe it can relieve the fatigue and make the old man feel more uplifted."
Seeing that no one spoke, the atmosphere in the hall was a little cold, and Aunt Han hurriedly smiled and spoke. Sure enough, Mrs. Lu glanced up at her, with a lot of appreciation in her eyes, and then turned to Mrs. Zhou and said, "The master gave the eldest girl's family matter a few days ago, and it is an excellent family matter, and the object is the second son of General Xiao's Mansion. ”
Mrs. Zhou's face sank with a "snap", she didn't believe Mrs. Lu's words, if it was really a very good family affair, Gu Jinxiu was also fourteen years old, it was the age of the marriage, why didn't she give her daughter? Although the young and the old are orderly, how can this kind of thing find a reason to deal with the past.
At this time, he didn't understand the situation, but he couldn't get angry lightly, so he asked in a deep voice: "Oh? What kind of good family affair is it? Let you even remember Kira thousands of miles away? ”
"Look at what the old lady said, the eldest girl is filial piety for us under your old knee, every time the lord talks about it, he is very sorry and gratified, there are good people, naturally I think of her, not to mention that the eldest girl is a concubine, although our family is not a prince and magnate, it is also a family of eunuchs, such a concubine's daughter, and she has also reached the age of marriage, how dare the lord and I forget because she is not in front of you?"
Mrs. Lu knew that Mrs. Zhou was dissatisfied, but she didn't care, and said with a smile after taking a sip of tea: "Although the Xiao Mansion does not have a title, it is a family of military generals, and when it comes to General Xiao's generation, it is even more amazing." Now General Xiao is the second-grade light car general of the emperor's Qinfeng, and he is in charge of the Shenji Battalion in the 12th regiment battalion, and he is also a high authority among the military generals in the capital. The second son of the Xiao family is also very remarkable, I heard that he grew up in the border pass since he was a child, and now he is eighteen years old, and everyone knows it in the three armies of the border pass, it is said that he is brave and fierce, and the Tartar will run away from the wind when he hears his name, but it is a pity that he is too young to take on the big responsibility, so now it is just a thousand households with five products. But the old lady thinks about it, he is only eighteen years old this year, and he has become a fifth-grade official, the old man and the young man have been the first, and he has been in the capital for more than ten years, and he is only a fifth-grade official, so the future of the Xiao family is really limitless. ”
"The family affair that your lord set for Qiluo is this second son of the Xiao family?" Mrs. Zhou frowned slightly, and secretly said that if it was really according to what this woman said, it was indeed a good family affair, and Qiluo was high, but how could she be so kind?
The smugness in Mrs. Lu's elegant smile was well concealed, and outsiders could only experience the kind smile on her face like a spring breeze, and after listening to Mrs. Zhou's words, the smile on her face deepened, and she chuckled: "Exactly." The second son grew up with his father in the border pass, and later General Xiao was injured and returned to Beijing to report on his work, but he did not come back with him, and lived in the border pass for fifteen years. But now that the family has been established, how can I come back to complete the marriage, I think I should come back before the New Year, and maybe I will come to see the lord when the time comes, and the old lady should be able to see it. ”
***********************
"A character who grew up at the border and made the Tartars tremble? Isn't that just a martial artist? ”
Different from Mrs. Zhou's doubts, Gu Qiluo immediately grasped the point after hearing the news revealed by several sisters in their arrogant words, she raised her eyebrows, glanced at the three girls who were as proud as peacocks on the screen, and said lightly.
"What Takeo? That...... That's a young and promising five-grade thousand-thousand-household, an official as big as his father. ”
Gu Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that this Tubaozi sister, who was looked down on by everyone, would have such a sharp eye, and she could see through the filth under the glamorous appearance of this thing at once, and under the slight shame, she didn't even disdain to pretend to be a smirk, and justified loudly.
"The thousand households of the five grades seem to be quite remarkable." Gu Qiluo lowered his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "However, this dynasty has always emphasized literature and light martial arts, and this thousand households of the five grades can't seem to be compared with Daddy, the household of the five grades, right?" ”
Several girls were all stunned, looking at this big girl who they didn't look at all in shock, but they heard Gu Qiluo say indifferently: "The family of military generals, if you are knighted, maybe there will be some weight, just the words of a second-grade general......" She suddenly raised her eyes to look at Gu Jinxiu, and laughed softly: "How can the old lady take me to such a family?" What are the benefits? ”
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about? ”
Gu Jinxiu was really annoyed and angry at this time, suddenly stood up, and said coldly: "The eldest sister has really been in the countryside for a long time, and now that she has entered the mansion, she is also so unruly, you go to the old lady and ask, hum!" I don't know the hearts of good people, I don't bother to talk to you. ”
As soon as the words fell, she turned around and left with a gloomy face, Gu Lanxuan and Gu Suxuan glanced at each other, and Gu Suxuan also left, so only Gu Lanxuan and Gu Qingfeng were left in the back garden, sitting in the small pavilion with Gu Qiluo.
Gu Qingfeng is a little boy in the end, seeing that the two sisters are gone, he moved his butt restlessly, Gu Lanxuan understood that the little guy couldn't sit still, and smiled slightly: "Okay, you go play, don't go far, it's around here, and it's not allowed to climb high and low, you know?" ”
Gu Qingfeng excitedly agreed, got up and quickly walked away, so Gu Lanxuan hurriedly said to the girl beside him: "Go and watch the second young master, don't let him fall." ”
The little girl saluted and stepped back, there were only two sisters left in this pavilion, Gu Lanxuan smiled and said: "The third sister is that character, my sister has just arrived, I guess I don't know yet, in short, don't worry about her." ”
Gu Qiluo smiled slightly bitterly, shook his head and said: "I have lived in the countryside for more than ten years, and now I come to this mansion, saying that I am a big girl, but in fact, how is it different from rootless duckweed?" Otherwise, how could he have heard such news as soon as he entered the house? I also know that even if the old lady loves me, my affairs are ultimately decided by the old lady. I just don't understand now, what is the benefit of the Xiao family? Let the old lady work hard like this? It's obviously just an ordinary family of military generals, what can such a family help the master? ”
Gu Lanxuan's face stiffened, she didn't expect that this girl from the countryside didn't leave any love for her father and mother when she first entered the house, and she was sarcastic about the old lady selling her daughter for glory, because she couldn't help sighing in her heart, and secretly said that her little arm couldn't twist her thigh, even if this matter was indeed ill-conceived by her father, and the wife did it intentionally, what if you were softer? What good can you do with such toughness?
Gu Qiluo looked at Gu Lanxuan's gaze, as if she had guessed what she was thinking, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Even if I have a gentle and gentle attitude, will the old lady cancel this marriage?" I don't think I can't, right? In this case, I will soon be someone else's family, and what are I doing in a low voice? I wonder if my wife can give me more dowry? ”
Gu Lanxuan's heart froze, and when she looked at Gu Qiluo, her gaze immediately became a little different. Secretly said: I didn't expect this big sister to have such a mind and see it so thoroughly. Yes, I'm stupid too, no matter how gentle and gentle she is, can this marriage be stopped? In this case, instead of bowing her head, it won't change anything, it's better to hold your chest up and raise your head, anyway, Mrs. won't have a trace of pity for her, even if it's a scene in this mansion? Mrs. Ironclad would not dare to offend the Xiao family, in this way, maybe she could gain something else from it.
As soon as I thought of this, the sympathy in my heart immediately turned into admiration and another thought, and I made up my mind to secretly learn more closely with this big sister. Because he looked left and right, he saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: "The eldest daughter of the Xiao family was pointed out to Prince Rong as a side concubine a few years ago, and now the government and the opposition say that the emperor intends to set up a prince, and that woman is lucky, Prince Rong's only two sons were born to her, and Prince Rong is weak and sickly, Prince Rong loves her very much, if Prince Rong is lucky in the future, can be the prince, ascend the throne and be the emperor, think about it...... The Xiao family is about to soar in one day. ”
"I see." Gu Qiluo nodded slightly, and suddenly smiled again: "According to this, this is indeed a good family matter, but these officials in the capital are the most deaf and clear-sighted, such a great opportunity, and they still don't fight for it?" Our family has no foundation, how can we fight for such a good thing? How could the old lady arrange this good thing for me? Then Xiao Ergongzi, isn't there any hidden illness? ”
