Zhong Mingpeng, who picked up the ready-made cheap, was drunk and laughing, but Gu Cheng, who lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds, cried bitterly when he was drunk.

When Gu Cheng returned home, it was getting late, he staggered into the house, and the only attendant helped him and whispered: "Master, slow down, be careful." ”

"Gee, what's going on?"

Aunt Fu came out of the house and hurriedly went to help Gu Cheng: "Why did the master drink like this?" ”

He reprimanded the attendant again: "You don't know how to persuade the master." ”

The entourage was a little aggrieved: "The little one is persuaded, where will the master listen to the little one." ”

Aunt Fu shook her head: "Let's go, hurry up and help the old man into the house." ”

The two of them took Gu Cheng into the house with difficulty, Aunt Fu took care of Gu Cheng to lie on the bed, took off his shoes and socks, and asked the girl to wet a towel to wipe Gu Cheng's face, she served Gu Cheng meticulously, but she heard Gu Cheng chant in her ears: "Zhao'er, why didn't you tell me about your life experience earlier...... Why didn't I think of it...... Wan'er, my Wan'er is lost, lost. ”

Aunt Fu was angry and painful, threw the towel on Gu Cheng's body, and sat aside sulking.

She sat for a while, Gu Cheng was already sleeping and snoring, Aunt Fu didn't care about him when she was angry, and went out to call her entourage to ask: "Who did you see today, and what did you do?" ”

The entourage bowed his head, and looked down on Aunt Fu a little, but he still replied: "Today, as soon as the master went to the yamen, he met a few colleagues, and those people sneered when they saw the master, and the master didn't know why, and thought he had offended people, and when the master was free after finishing his business, he found that several people looked at the master's face wrong, and the master was confused. ”

"Jokes?" Aunt Fu raised her eyebrows: "What is there to laugh at, your lord has always been decent, he does not seek merit but no fault, what can make people laugh." ”

The entourage glared: "Why doesn't my aunt know?" Also, the old man just learned about this, and how did my aunt know about it when she didn't go out of the door on weekdays. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Aunt Fu was a little anxious.

The entourage thought for a while before saying slowly: "It's the matter of the eldest lady in the family, and now the capital is about to spread all over the city, it turns out that the deceased lady of our family turned out to be the sister of the queen mother, and the eldest lady turned out to be the nephew of the queen mother. ”

As soon as this entourage said that the Zhong family was the queen mother's sister-in-law, Aunt Fu's face changed, and when it came to the Wang family's recognition of relatives, where did Aunt Fu still have the heart to ask again, and she was not in the mood to care about Gu Cheng, so she immediately hurriedly waved away her entourage, ordered someone to go to the academy to find Gu Ying back, and called Gu Erniang to come over, and the three of them discussed the matter of Gu Daniang together.

As soon as Gu Ying came home, she shouted and asked, "Mother, what's the matter?" I'm writing poetry with my classmates here, so what's the point for you to call your son? ”

Gu Erniang also said: "I'm making shoes for Xu Lang, my mother ......"

"Don't talk about this, sit down, I'll discuss something important with you." Aunt Fu asked Gu Ying and Gu Erniang to sit down with a white face, and then said hurriedly: "I just got the letter, your eldest sister turned out to be the niece of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has now recognized her relatives, you say, if the Queen Mother knew that we treated her like this before, would she ......?"

Aunt Fu thought that the Queen Mother would cure her crimes, and at the same time, deprive Gu Ying of her future and undertake the marriage of Gu Erniang?

She was a concubine because she died of the husband of the main house, and she survived by her children all her life, the only idea is to let the children have a good life, if the queen mother really dealt with her children because of Mrs. Gu, Aunt Fu thought, she couldn't live.

When Gu Erniang heard this, she immediately stood up, her face full of jealousy: "What? The eldest sister is the niece of the Queen Mother? How is this possible? Why did all the good things happen to her? ”

Gu Ying also looked shocked: "I'm nothing, I'm afraid of the second sister's ......"

"What's nothing?" Gu Erniang glared at Gu Ying: "If you have no future, what good can I get even if I get married." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Erniang calmed down again, sat down again and pondered: "Mother, now we can only repair the relationship with the eldest sister, no matter how we say that we are all her blood relatives, she will not be unsympathetic, besides, we have nothing to do with her over the years, of course, except for the exchange of relatives with her, but she did not suffer a loss in the exchange of relatives, then the Li family is rich, you look at the life she is living now, thinking about it, she has to thank us." ”

This Gu Erniang has no face and no skin, Aunt Fu is her mother, and her face can only be thicker than her, Aunt Fu nodded and smiled: "My son, what you said is that if we didn't change relatives, she said that she would not be able to get the Xu family to suffer from poverty, you see how good the life of the Li family is now, she has no in-laws, and the two sisters-in-law are married, that is, Li Fool has a godmother, but the godmother of the family has money, and the silver will not be hers in the future, she gave birth to three boys at once, and the number of people in the capital, Whoever has a noble daughter who has a good life with her, no matter how she says it, she shouldn't blame us. ”

Although Gu Ying felt that her mother and sister's words were a little wrong, she couldn't say anything because of the distance between her relatives.

Gu Erniangzi lowered her head and thought about something, and when she raised her head again, she hooked her lips and smiled lightly, with a proud and confident face: "Mother, you wait for my father to wake up and tell him, just say that my mother has no heirs, and I am afraid that no one will worship in the future, so I asked my father to record Brother Ying in the name of my mother, then Brother Ying is a serious son-in-law, and that is also the nephew of the Queen Mother. ”

When Aunt Fu heard this, she was happy, and then she was sad, and she lowered her head and thought for a while before gritting her teeth and saying: "Cheng, I think this thing is feasible, and when your father wakes up, I will talk to him and say, after all, he is not close to the eldest lady now, and there are only two of you around him, not for your sake, but for which one." ”

When Gu Ying heard this, she was also a little moved in her heart, and thought that if she recognized it in her mother's name, she didn't know how many benefits she would have, and then she thought about it, this is a good thing that this concubine in the capital is recognized in her mother's name, so she didn't make a sound.

In addition to the Zhong family and the Gu family, the Xu family also reacted very much to the matter of Mrs. Gu's recognition of her relatives.

As soon as Xu Shaoqing went home, he had a stiff face, and he raised eyebrows at everyone, Mrs. Xu carefully stepped forward to serve tea, but Xu Shaoqing didn't save face at all, and threw the teacup on the ground fiercely.

Xu Huaiwen looked a little angry, took the girl's tea and served it to Xu Shaoqing, and said while handing it over: "Mother is also kind, my father is angry, and he shouldn't be angry with his mother." ”

Xu Shaoqing gave his son some face, but this time he didn't drop the teacup, just sighed, beat his chest and pointed at Mrs. Xu and said: "You women are people with long hair and short knowledge, I said earlier that you can't change relatives and can't change relatives, and it was the eldest lady of the Gu family who gave Huai Wending at the beginning, and you are willing to change to the second lady, and what do you say that the second lady is shrewd and capable, a hundred times stronger than the eldest lady, and what is the big lady who is greedy for vanity is not good, and she changed her family affairs by playing tricks, but now it's good, and I am called faceless. Let others say that I am a fool, and I don't even have a concubine, so I shouldn't have such a great blessing. ”

Mrs. Xu still didn't understand, but Xu Huaiwen knew why, and whispered: "Father's meaning The son understands, the father also took a fancy to the Gu family's eldest lady's background is better than the second lady, but the second lady is stronger than the eldest lady in terms of appearance and temperament, even if the eldest lady now recognizes the queen mother as her aunt, but our family is not the kind of power-climbing, and the son does not want to rely on nepotism to make progress, the son will work hard to study and get the middle jinshi, the father can rest assured, don't blame the mother." ”

Xu Shaoqing saw that Xu Huaiwen did not have the slightest remorse, persuaded with a slight smile on his face, and maintained his mother very much, although he was very regretful and dissatisfied with the change of parents, but he was still satisfied with his son's expression.

No matter what you say, Xu Huaiwen is still good, when things come to this point, he has no intention of self-pity, let alone find a reason to abandon Gu Erniang's idea of looking for a noble girl, this child is smart and elegant, and he is affectionate, thinking about when he was young, Xu Shaoqing felt that this son was like himself, so he pressed down his previous remorse: "What do you know, if your father and I are not from a poor family, I can't say that I am already at the top of the six departments now, where is it like now, I can't go up or down, right, When you become an official in the future, you will know the difference between having connections, helpers, and support in the officialdom, and fighting alone. ”

Seeing that Xu Huaiwen didn't listen, Xu Shaoqing could only sigh slightly: "Forget it, anyway, it's so far, we can't be capricious anymore, and it's even more ridiculous." ”

Xu Huaiwen only showed a real smile on his face at this time, Xu Shaoqing saw it, and his heart was even more chuckled, and he finally understood, it was not that his son didn't care about the future, but that he had been fascinated by the second lady of the Gu family, and his whole heart had been placed on the second lady.

Thinking about this matter, Xu Shaoqing has already made up his mind, wait until the evening to discuss with his old wife, and when Gu Erniang enters the door in the future, she must teach her well, don't ask her to learn some of the little wife's tricks, and then take Xu Huaiwen more closely, and tell him not to always go to the Gu family if he has something to do, saying that he must not be tired of being taken by others.

Xu Huaiwen didn't know what his father thought, and thought that Xu Shaoqing also loved Gu Erniang from the bottom of his heart, so he was very relieved to accompany Xu Shaoqing to talk about the career economy for a while, and when he returned to the house, he wrote a letter to tell Gu Erniang about it, and expressed his determination to Gu Erniang, and sent a simple red gold hairpin that he specially bought for Gu Erniang.
