Chapter 19: Reversal
Mrs. Lu's mood is so complicated, her husband has said so, if she still insists on not going, she is afraid that her mind will make her husband wonder. This is the reason for being a thief, so he had to force a smile and said: "Since the master said so, then arrange it like this, I don't know which day the Xiao family is set to pass?" ”
Gu Mingyang laughed and said: "It's probably these two days, Jiangbei said that he would send someone over to say a word when the date is set." When he said this, he stood up and said with a smile: "I've been busy these days, and I haven't talked to my mother much, so when I come back early today, I might as well go with you to greet the old lady." ”
"Okay, let the girls go over first, and I'll serve the master to change the official uniform first." Mrs. Lu stood up, but heard Gu Mingyang smile and said, "You don't need to serve, you can take the children over first." ”
After finishing speaking, he entered the back room, where Mrs. Lu came out with a few girls, she and Gu Jinxiu, Aunt Han and others walked in front, Gu Lanxuan and Aunt Zhuang accompanied Gu Qiluo a few steps behind, which seemed to be quite clear.
Aunt Han's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly leaned closer and said, "Look, madam, it's only been a few days?" Aunt Zhuang's foolish one was taken down, if you really went to the villa and handed over this house to her for two days, I don't know what it will become. ”
Mrs. Lu didn't raise her eyelids, but only sneered softly: "The mother and daughter are confused, I just don't have the same knowledge as them." You don't have to care, this is the time to test people's hearts the most, who is good, who is the grass on the wall, I know in my heart, let's talk later. ”
Gu Jinxiu was beside her, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said: "These things are not in a hurry, what is urgent is now, mother, do you really want to let her take care of this mansion for two days?" This can't be done, who knows what kind of heart she has? ”
"I don't believe it, it's just two days, can she turn the sky upside down?" After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she glanced at her daughter, her eyes were very complicated, and the meaning was obvious: I am all for you, if I can make Xiao Ergongzi have a good impression of you in the past two days, it will not be in vain for me to spend so much effort.
Gu Jinxiu naturally understood what her mother meant, and couldn't help but feel hot in her heart, and subconsciously clenched her fist hanging by her side.
Unexpectedly, in front of Mrs. Zhou, things changed unexpectedly.
As soon as the old lady heard that Xiao Jiangbei invited the ladies of the mansion to go to the hot spring villa, but the eldest granddaughter was excluded, she immediately became angry, glanced at Gu Mingyang and Mrs. Lu coldly, and snorted coldly: "The ladies all go to the villa, only Qiluo stays?" It's a shame that you two have the face to make such an arrangement. What else do you say to take care of my wife, phew! Life and death are rich and rich, I don't need a girl to take care of me, and I won't die of illness if I want to come for so many days. If you want to go, you will go together. ”
"Mother, don't be angry, Qiluo is married to Jiangbei after all, and they shouldn't meet before they get married...... Gu Mingyang knew that his mother had never had a good impression of Mrs. Lu, otherwise he wouldn't have stubbornly stayed in the countryside for more than ten years, because he was busy persuading with a smile, and without waiting to finish speaking, he listened to the old lady smile and said leisurely: "Do you think that child is a rule-abiding person?" If you want him to obey the rules, how do you put him in the back hall that day? At this time, what are the rules and regulations? ”
"Grandmother, what the old lady said is not unreasonable, not to mention that my granddaughter also wants to stay and take care of you, otherwise I don't worry."
Gu Qiluo really thought so in her heart, she didn't believe that with this straw bale third sister, what waves could she make. If Xiao Jiangbei is really such an easy person to see and change, it is not worth marrying himself, if he is unswerving, he will not quit because he does not meet this time. In this way, it is better to take advantage of these two days to do some infiltration in the mansion is the most important thing at present.
It's a pity that Mrs. Zhou is a very pure woman, she and her husband formed an ordinary family when she was young, and she even had to show up to make money to make a living. So she was shrewd and open-minded, not only was she not angry at Xiao Jiangbei's presumptuous behavior, but also had some appreciation. But at the same time, she was not familiar with the necessary procedures of the battle in the back house, she hated Mrs. Lu, and knew that she was not a good woman, but she did not fight with the other party.
Therefore, she couldn't understand the undercurrent between Gu Qiluo and Mrs. Lu at all, she still started from a pure woman's point of view, and felt that the Xiao family's family business was very good, and the most important thing for her beloved granddaughter now was to consolidate this family business, and not let it appear the slightest crack and be taken advantage of by others, even if the other party was her other granddaughter.
The old lady was still a little aware of Mrs. Lu and Gu Jinxiu's ambitions, so how could she let the mother and daughter go to the hot springs as invited, and leave the eldest granddaughter at home? Therefore, even if Gu Qiluo spoke in person, she resolutely disagreed, and in the end, Master Gu was helpless, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, mother, since you said so, then let Qiluo go." ”
"That's right." Mrs. Zhou's goal was achieved, and the anger on her face immediately dissipated, and she said indifferently: "The Xiao family is also an official family, and the people who go are all female dependents, and there are a lot of girls and mothers-in-law, so where can the children of the Xiao family be presumptuous no matter how presumptuous they are?" At most, it's two sides, so what? You are not the sour Confucian old scholar who reads rotten books, so you talk about etiquette to this point. ”
Gu Mingyang agreed with a wry smile, Gu Qiluo and Mrs. Lu glanced at each other, and they didn't know what it was like in their hearts: whether they go or don't go, there are always advantages and disadvantages.
However, Gu Qiluo soon thought about it: in the girl's youth, it is more important to talk about a romantic and warm love. House fight, the right of the housekeeper or something, but to protect herself, as long as Mrs. Lu doesn't make trouble, she is also happy to be her own big girl easily.
And so the matter was settled. Back in the room, Xinghua and Chunyu also knew, Chunyu stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Girl, I heard that I am going to the mountain villa at the foot of Yulan Mountain to take a hot spring, is this true?" The slave is so big, she hasn't seen a hot spring yet. ”
"You've got long ears." Gu Qiluo smiled and shook his head: "If you want to go, just say it, what are you doing around the bush?" In case girl, I'm too dull to hear what I mean, wouldn't it be in vain for you? ”
Chunyu heard the meaning of the girl's words, and she would definitely be able to follow her, so she couldn't help screaming with joy and ran back to the room to turn over her clothes. Xinghua was still sitting on the smoker doing needlework, and when she saw Gu Qiluo sitting down, she smiled and said: "Yulan Mountain is in the suburbs of Beijing, and it was not famous originally, but later it became famous because of the discovery of hot springs." Nowadays, there are hot springs, but the surrounding fertile land is also very valuable. I heard that the crops there seem to be nourished by hot springs, so the yield is also large, and the taste is good, even the emperor has a palace and thousands of acres of imperial village there, and the rice grown is specially tributed. Money alone can't buy a place like that. ”
"It's worth a lot of money." Gu Qiluo didn't understand the situation in the capital, and his eyes widened when he heard this: "How big is the total place under Yulan Mountain?" After building a palace and enclosing thousands of acres of land, how much is left for people to divide? ”
Xinghua smiled: "The slave maid has never been there, but I heard someone say it before, saying that the place is very big, I'm afraid there is no 10,000 acres of land?" Otherwise, where is the point? The Zhuangzi of the second son of the Xiao family was given by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he may also bring some land, this is because the prince is a decent person among many princes, if he is a prince, I am afraid that the industry there will not be much worse than the palace. But these are all rumors in the market, whether they are true or not, the slave and maid don't know, but everyone just said it to the girl, and it was just a gossip. ”
Gu Qiluo couldn't help but be a little curious when she saw that she never left the flower in her hand when she spoke, stood up and came to her, only to see that she had a piece of white brocade in her hand, embroidered with a delicate and warm red plum blossom, and saw that there were still two birds on it that had not been embroidered, with the cloud pattern on the white brocade, it was really exquisite, so she exclaimed: "What is this going to do?" How can you be so attentive? ”
"The slave girl doesn't like to be a female red, so I want to embroider a purse for you, a few days ago I asked you what flowers you like, you said Chunlan autumn chrysanthemum, summer lotus and winter plum, these four are the best, now it's the New Year, so the slave maid took the pattern of red plum in the snow, and now it's not embroidered, the girl and look at the present, do you like it?"
"I like it, I like it so much." Gu Qiluo's happiness is not to mention, the birthday gift that Gu Jinxiu gave to Master Gu that day was a very delicate purse, although it was an ordinary thing, she was very envious at the time, but she could never ask for the third sister, so she still had to wear the purse brought from the countryside, but Xinghua didn't say anything, and she had already seen this situation in her eyes and remembered it.
When even patted the other party on the shoulder and smiled: "Good girl, I originally thought that you would not beg me like Chunyu, hum!" I'll leave you to watch the house. Who knew that you would give me such a good thing at this time, but I don't know what to say, just go back to the room and pack up two clothes, and you can go with me. ”
"The slave didn't ask the girl like Chunyu because the slave didn't want to go in the first place. Although the hot spring is good, there must be someone watching this house, otherwise it will not be able to lock the door? Xinghua shook her head, looking at Gu Qiluo's bright appearance, she was a little envious in her heart, and secretly said that this girl is very powerful, but she has never lost her pure heart, so she lives so happily, where is it like me? is a year younger than her, but her heart is already like a dead wood, drifting with the flow.
"Don't do that." Gu Qiluo sat opposite her: "I know that you are old, but no matter how old you are, you can't change the fact that you are only fifteen years old, right?" Youth, twenty-eight years, when it should be lively, it should be lively, when it should be chic, it should be chic, so that when the old can't walk, I will not regret it when I recall my life. Look at your girl and me, I can be regarded as steady and dignified, thoughtful and wise, right? But when it's time to talk and laugh, I will also show my little daughter's attitude, so it's a real life, understand? ”
