(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"!) Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and in these three days, Gu Qiluo was very low-key and silent, and he didn't have much contact with his sisters. So some people who thought they could see a good show slowly stopped thinking.
It's normal to think about it, why does the eldest girl fight with her wife? Just because his wife arranged a very bad marriage for her? She was just a girl from the countryside, and the lord trusted his wife very much, and if she really made a fuss about this idea, her wife slapped her to death, and then she knew what it meant to be isolated.
These subordinates all know in their hearts that the reason why they still have the desire to watch the fire from the other side is because Mrs. Lu is strict in her daily life, they are not lazy, and the moon silver is not rich, so except for those few loyal people who have oil and water, the rest of the people hate her in their hearts; Second, no matter what the big girl says, there is still an old lady to support her. But looking at the current situation, the old lady obviously wants to rely on her son and daughter-in-law to support her old age, and she doesn't care about everything in the house, so it's no wonder that the eldest girl can't afford to make waves.
*******************
"I thought she didn't know what to do. Who knows that now when I look at it, it's just like that, after all, I came out of the countryside, I don't know anything, so I naturally have to be a man with my tail between my legs. ”
Because on this day, the third girl, Gu Jinxiu, was idle, so she went to her mother's room to gossip, and when her mother asked Gu Qiluo what she did every day, she sneered and said.
Mrs. Lu's face was indifferent, and after a while, she said in a deep voice: "You don't have to underestimate her." Except for your father, who believed in me in Su Rili and signed a contract with General Xiao, he never doubted me, and there was probably no one else who didn't know about it. Your big sister can hold back the anger in her heart, and quietly pass the past few days, either she is a scumbag to the extreme, or she is a deep person in the city, and she is silent at this time, but secretly she is understanding this mansion, just waiting to seize the opportunity to give me a ruthless blow. ”
"Mother looks down on her too much, doesn't she? What is she? How dare you be ruthless? Gu Jinxiu sneered, not caring about her mother's words. But I heard Mrs. Lu say in a deep voice: "She doesn't dare? If she was such a wretch, why did she change the names of my two girls on the first day? Of course, it can be said that she is reckless and unruly, but if you think about it, it may not mean to express her dissatisfaction to me. You, spoiled by me, don't know that people's hearts are sinister, anyway, I sue you, don't underestimate her, at least be cautious these days, if it really proves that she is a wreck in the future, then I don't care how you knead and flatten it. ”
When Gu Jinxiu heard her mother say this, she also got up solemnly, sat up straight and thought about it, then shook her head and said: "Most of her in the house these days, and she rarely goes out, I have passed with my second sister and fourth sister a few times, but it's just gossip, I don't think she embroiders very well, and she must have no time to practice in the countryside." Mother, you said that she is not particularly beautiful, and neither is she a female celebrity, and her temperament is silent, if she marries in the future, the Xiao family will not complain that we look down on their family, right? ”
"Hehe, with Xiao Erlang's reputation, now that there are serious girls who are willing to marry, their Xiao family should snicker." Mrs. Lu sneered disdainfully: "Everything else is easy to say, just say that he is fierce and good-looking, if his wife is unsatisfactory, will he kill his wife?" I'm used to killing those Tartars at the border, how can I think about any rules and feelings? Because of this, who would dare to enter the door of a girl from a good family? Unless it is the one who does not care about the life or death of his daughter, even such a person has to take care of his reputation. Xiao Erlang is now notorious, except for a frank gentleman like the master, who is willing to get involved? No, do you think that just by virtue of your eldest sister, a hairy girl who entered Beijing from the countryside, you can enter the door of the Xiao family? What a dream? ”
Gu Jinxiu nodded, thought about it and smiled: "By the way, I suddenly remembered something. Mother, two days later is the birthday of the granddaughter of the king sacrifice restaurant, the New Year's time when several of our girls get together, she said that this year's birthday will go to the Moon Tower, and invited us to participate, why don't I invite the big sister to go with me that day, and then slowly look at her conduct, how? ”
"Going to a restaurant for a birthday? This is nonsense. Mrs. Lu frowned, but heard Gu Jinxiu smile and said, "Doesn't Wang Yue'er just like to mess around?" But her grandfather and grandmother loved her, and the family couldn't do anything about her. But don't worry, mother, what kind of family is the Wang family? No matter how foolish there is, there is a limit, the restaurant is her uncle's property, and the whole thing will be contracted down that day, and not a single idler will be allowed to enter, so clean, we girls who can't go out on weekdays are also happy to relax, and give her face, why not? ”
Mrs. Lu thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, after all, her grandfather is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he can speak in front of the emperor." To be honest, if it weren't for that girl's love of fooling around, it would be difficult for you to have a relationship with her, and now it's just that those princes and daughters don't want to associate with her, you have to control your own proportions, and you can befriend her, don't let her affect your reputation. ”
"Don't worry, I know this." Gu Jinxiu was very happy to see that her mother agreed to her plan, so she immediately ran out to find Gu Qiluo.
"Going to a restaurant for a birthday? Are the girls in the capital so free? ”
It happened that Gu Qiluo was not there when Gu Jinxiu came, and when she came back, Xinghua told her the news. Hearing her ask, Xinghua smiled and said: "This slave has heard of some things, the girl of the Wang family is the most lively and active, she is loved by her grandfather and grandmother, and her family doesn't care much about her, so she can give birth to such a clever mind, if it is another young lady, I am afraid that she will not be so free." ”
Chunyu smiled beside him: "Actually, this is a good opportunity, the girl can go out for a walk and have a look, if you want to go out on weekdays, how can it be so easy?" ”
"Is it also very difficult for the girl of the Wang family to go out?" Gu Qiluo's mind moved slightly, and he hurriedly asked again, but he heard Xinghua smile and said: "It is naturally not difficult for the girl of the Wang family to go out, I heard that she often dresses up as a kid to go out to play, that Wang Xijiu was famous for her crazy personality when she was young, and now she naturally refuses to ban this precious granddaughter, as long as it is not too qualified, their family is based on Miss Wang's temperament." ”
Gu Qiluo nodded, thinking that this is not bad, there is such a "role model", I can also follow suit in the future and go out a few times. Huh, reputation? I'm like this, what do I need to be famous? If you can let the Xiao family quit your family, it will be an unexpected joy. As long as I go out more often, maybe I can find some way to make money, as long as I have money by my side, what am I afraid of?
"Is the girl going or not? If you go, the slave maid will let Chunyu go and talk to the third girl, and the carriage and horses will be ready the morning after tomorrow, so that she can inform you. Xinghua asked gently, only to see Gu Qiluo smile and say, "Go, why don't you go?" You're right, since I entered Beijing, I haven't seen much of the streets and alleys of the capital except in the carriage, so I just took this opportunity to go out to breathe and see the scenery of the capital. ”
So two days later, in the morning, Gu Jinxiu and Gu Qiluo dressed up and stopped, and took a carriage to the Moon Tower in the capital.
When I got out of the carriage, I saw a restaurant in Nuoda, and it was deserted in front of the door. Gu Jinxiu was strange, when she saw two servant women walking out of the building, and when she saw them, she smiled and said, "It turned out that the third girl from Gu Mansion is here, this must be the eldest girl, right?" Our girl is already waiting on the second floor, please follow us upstairs. ”
The two sisters followed the servant into the restaurant, only to see that the hall on the first floor was empty, and there was no one there. Gu Jinxiu smiled and said: "Yue'er has wrapped up this restaurant today, it is really clean, if it was in the past, I don't know how lively this hall should be." ”
"Yes, the business of this restaurant in my uncle's house is very good, in a prosperous corner of the capital, it is not easy to have such a big restaurant, so those princes and grandsons call friends on weekdays, they all like to come here, everyone wants a face."
The two servants were talking to Gu Jinxiu, and they led her to the second floor, only to see that there were already five or six girls sitting in the seat, and when they saw them, they all stepped forward to greet them with a smile. Gu Qiluo noticed that there was one named Cheng Qiuchan, who was really beautiful and beautiful. There is another girl named Jiao Fenfang, whose bearing is calm and calm, which is also different from others. Wang Yue'er specially introduced that her father was Master Jiao, who had just been promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials this year, which immediately aroused Gu Jinxiu's admiration.
Then a few more girls came, and by noon the two tables on the second floor were full. Wang Yue'er ordered someone to serve the food, and she was not verbose, but after drinking the birthday wine that everyone toasted together, she ordered the banquet to be held.
Gu Qiluo had no appetite in the morning, and only ate two mouthfuls of porridge, and he was already hungry at this time, so he praised Wang Yue'er's cool style. The girls were eating and talking, but they were also having fun.
These girls are familiar with each other on weekdays, and at this time, there is no family ban, so they naturally have to be presumptuous, and for a while, the second floor is full of giggles and laughter.
Gu Qiluo is not familiar with these girls, she is a scheming and then acting, at this time, she is just listening to the girls while eating, the girls are not familiar with her, Gu Jinxiu will not care about her feelings, so she is a little cold here. She didn't care, but felt that it was quite enjoyable, and the wine and food in Mochizuki Tower tasted really good.
But I don't know if it's an illusion, although the girls didn't talk to her, but she always felt that there were some eyes stuck to her body, and finally she couldn't help but look up, and she could see some people turning their heads unnaturally and pretending to talk to the people around them.
At this time, Gu Qiluo was sure that it was not her own delusion, she was just a little strange: how could she attract the attention of these girls? Is it because she's from the country? But those eyes didn't seem to be scornful.
After thinking about it again, she understood: probably the reason why these girls were paying attention to her was because she was about to marry the poor woman who was about to marry the famous ugly murderer.
