Gu Qiluo sneered, but saw his father straighten his face and said, "I know, you probably have some opinions about your wife in your heart." This is not what it should be. Over the years, she has also paid a lot for this family, and if her father didn't have her help and support, he wouldn't have reached this point. You probably think that my wife's cousin naturally helped her lie, but you don't want to think about it, do they dare to blatantly lie to me about such a big thing? In the future, I am not afraid to expose the scam and I am angry with them? ”
Gu Qiluo thought to himself: What about exposing the scam? At that time, you will casually say that you are wrong, and if you don't see it clearly, what can you do if you are angry? Can you still kill people? Maybe you will be alienated from your wife, but just look at what you just said, you know that she has already pinched you in the palm of her hand, and at that time you will fold thousands of soft intestines and coax you affectionately, and you will change your mind, hehe, in the end, except for me being sacrificed, the others are all wishful thinking, and they are really happy.
But she didn't say that. Seeing that Gu Mingyang had already made a straight face, the eldest girl knew that this was her father's bottom line of tolerance, and she knew more about Mrs. Lu's status in the other party's heart. If you just blindly contradict it, I'm afraid that it will ruin your impression in my father's heart, and make him think that he only knows how to mess around, then he really has no status in this family, and the eldest girl will not put herself in such an unfavorable situation for the sake of a momentary mood.
So he smiled and said, "Why did Daddy say that?" The daughter didn't say anything, just a little surprised. The marriage is naturally decided by the father and his wife, and the daughter knows that although they are far apart, the father has always cared about his daughter in his heart. ”
Sure enough, Gu Mingyang's face looked better, and he nodded: "Although my son is bold, it is not to the point of fooling around." If you think so, Daddy is also pleased. How is it? The weather in Beijing is not as good as that in the south of the Yangtze River, but you don't feel comfortable? Is there anything missing? Just talk to your wife. ”
"My daughter feels that the weather in the capital is better than in Hangzhou, although Hangzhou is warmer, but it is too humid, and my grandmother's legs and feet can't stand the moisture, and now I have come to the capital, there is a dragon fire kang in this house, and a charcoal basin, which is a little warmer than Jiangnan, and it is not humid, and I have lived here for less than a day, and my grandmother and daughter have liked this climate."
"This is just winter, if it is a while, the weather will be really cold, I'm afraid you will be a little uncomfortable, but as long as you don't go out much." Gu Mingyang smiled, very satisfied with his eldest daughter's appearance.
Then the father and daughter gossiped for a while, Gu Qiluo secretly commented on the father's temperament, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly said that my father is also a frank gentleman. He dared to admit that it was also beneficial to marry the Xiao family in his career, but as long as he could do this, his character would not be bad. Listening to his words, he is not old-fashioned and stern, but he is a good and generous father, which is really good, and it is suitable for me to show my strength in this house. There is one thing, he trusts his wife too much, and it seems that it is not easy to make that vicious woman pay.
While thinking about it, seeing Gu Mingyang's face showing a faint tiredness, she stood up and said: "Daddy is doing business in the yamen during the day, and he can't wait to see his grandmother at home, which shows how busy he is. ”
"Good, good." Gu Mingyang stood up with a smile, nodded and said with relief: "My good daughter can also care about her father now." Anyway, you and your grandmother must be tired after a long journey, so let's go back and rest. By the way, wait a minute. ”
As if he suddenly remembered something, Gu Mingyang got up and took out a brocade box from the drawer, stepped forward and handed it to Gu Qiluo, and said with a smile: "I happened to see this Yingluo on the street a while ago, it is very exquisite, and my father bought it, thinking that you are simple in the countryside, even if your wife helps prepare clothes and jewelry, it always takes time, right?" So I'll give you this Yingluo to wear. ”
"Thank you, Daddy."
Gu Qiluo took the brocade box, and listened to Gu Mingyang say sincerely: "You don't have to worry about marriage, and you don't have to be suspicious, Daddy and General Xiao are officials in the same dynasty, and they know his character very well. As for Xiao Jiangbei's appearance, you don't have to worry, Lord Xiao is handsome and chic, I heard that his wife was also a famous beauty in Jiangnan, do you think, even if their son is not handsome, how can he have a fierce and vicious appearance? ”
"Okay, don't worry, daddy, my daughter won't think about it."
No matter what, Gu Mingyang is still sincere to himself, he just trusts Mrs. Lu too easily, or maybe that General Xiao is indeed in love with him, so he has this family business. Although it is not satisfactory, this father is still good.
Gu Qiluo sighed in his heart and turned to leave Master Gu's study. After returning to their room, Xinghua and Chunyu had already prepared the hot water, took a hot bath, and it was already the end of the day.
"Is the girl going to sleep in peace? Still in the mood for a late-night snack? Xinghua asked softly beside her, and then said with a smile: "There are rice balls and small ......wontons for supper in the kitchen at night."
"I won't eat it."
Gu Qiluo interrupted Xinghua's words, got into the quilt that had been warmed, and said with a smile: "After all the way, now I finally took a hot shower, and then changed into this loose home clothes, it's so comfortable, I just want to sleep, I don't want to eat any supper." ”
"Well, the slave will not disturb the girl. The slave maid and the spring rain are outside, and the girl has something to do at night, just call for it. Xinghua smiled, and was about to put down the curtain for Gu Qiluo, when she suddenly said: "By the way, bring the brocade box on the table, it is the Yingluo that my father gave me, I haven't seen it yet." Speaking of which, my father was also careful, and he was so busy with official business, he also considered that I had just arrived in the capital, and my wife needed time to prepare jewelry and clothes, so he saw this exquisite beauty on the street and bought it for me. ”
Xinghua took the brocade box and handed it to Gu Qiluo, but her heart was full of joy, and she secretly said that the old man had a fatherly heart for the eldest girl, and this eldest girl was introverted and wise, it seemed that the wife wanted to hold her, but it was not so easy.
Gu Qiluo looked at Xinghua's expression, and knew that her words had already played a role in this shrewd girl.
She didn't believe that Mrs. Lu would send two innocent girls over, but this apricot blossom didn't look simple, and she faintly revealed her intention to be a wall grass in front of her, after all, she had only been in the house for a month, which was normal. But she likes the other party's smart and calm bearing the most, and there is a calm atmosphere in her calculations, if she can accept it, maybe she will be a good helper. Of course, now I have no foundation in the house, so I rashly make any promises, but I am afraid that this girl will be obedient on the surface, but in her heart she will treat herself as a joke. Only by slowly increasing the weight in the daily drip can this girl stand in line again.
In order to show her virtuous generosity, Mrs. Lu was weak after all, so she didn't dare to blatantly send her right-hand man to Gu Qiluo's side, but after all, she was the head of the house, and she consciously felt that she would definitely be able to pinch these two girls as her ears, but she didn't expect that this just gave her an opportunity.
While thinking about it, Gu Qiluo opened the jewelry box, and sure enough, there was a brilliant gold jewel inside, which was inlaid with a piece of emerald jade, which was very valuable at a glance. She was very satisfied, and after looking at it for a while, she closed the brocade box and handed it to Xinghua: "Okay, take it." ”
Xinghua smiled: "The master really loves the girl, such a good object, I haven't seen it in other girls." ”
Gu Qiluo smiled faintly: "I can't say that, my father just thinks that I have served my grandmother in the countryside of Hangzhou for so many years, so now he wants to compensate me a little, which is also human nature." Okay, go to sleep, you're tired of cleaning up the house today. ”
"There's nothing to clean up, the wife has done it, and the slaves and maids have just made a little change according to the girl's instructions, and they can't get tired of such a little work." Xinghua said with a smile, and then withdrew, while having a calculation in her heart.
The next morning, Gu Qiluo first went to see Mrs. Zhou next day, asked her how she slept last night, and then said: "Grandmother, now it's different from the past, I'm going to my wife to say goodbye, and I'll come to see you with my wife later, we can talk as much as we want at that time." ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded and smiled: "That's how it should be, you can go." ”
Gu Qiluo turned around and went out, Xinghua accompanied her to Mrs. Lu, and when she arrived, she saw that Gu Lanxuan, Gu Jinxiu, and Gu Sujun were all here, and Mrs. Lu was talking to Aunt Han about something, and when she came, the girls all got up and smiled: "We also said when the eldest sister will come, but it just so happened that you came." ”
Gu Qiluo smiled: "My sisters get up early. I was supposed to arrive earlier to see my grandmother, so I delayed for a while. ”
Mrs. Lu hurriedly said, "How is the old lady?" How did you sleep last night? I'm also about to take the girls to greet her, you don't have to come to me in the future, directly at the old lady's, our family is not as good as those eunuchs and nobles, there are not so many rules. ”
Gu Qiluo lowered his eyes slightly and smiled: "Although it is not an official eunuch and nobleman, this morning and dusk province is the rule of every family, how dare I not abide by it?" Still waiting at the old lady's place, it seems more and more as if there is no one in my eyes, and the wife is sympathetic to me, but she never dares to obey. ”
Mrs. Lu's body stiffened slightly, and then she smiled and said, "Okay, if you say this, you can know that you are a good boy who is sensible, but I said the wrong thing just now." In that case, let's sit down for a while, and then let's go and say hello to the old lady together. ”
Gu Qiluo sat down next to Gu Lanxuan, glanced into the room, and then turned his head and whispered, "The master went to court?" ”
Gu Lanxuan nodded lightly and said, "Yes, you have to go to court every day on the fifth watch." It's okay now, it's cold in a few days, and I'm even more sinful, and the old man is not too young, alas! A few days ago, I heard him talk about leg pain, and this is all for our family. ”
Gu Qiluo nodded silently, keeping this situation in mind. Then I saw Mrs. Lu stand up and say, "Let's go, let's go and say hello to the old lady, and it will be time for breakfast in a while." ”
