Mrs. Gu remembered that when she was a child, Gu Chengcai had an engagement with the Xu family, and she drank outside that night, and when she came back, she hugged her and muttered what she said to help her book a good family affair, and said that the Xu family was upright, and Master Xu was a kind person, and even his wife was very kind, such a good family affair was worthy of her dead mother.

Although she was young, Mrs. Gu remembered these words clearly.

She remembered that Gu Cheng cried as she spoke, saying that she couldn't live with her mother, told her to suffer with her, and said that Gu Da Niang was the only blood and bone left by her mother, and she must not be made to suffer in the future.

Mrs. Gu decided in her young heart that her father was a good father who loved her, so many years have passed, whether her father listens to her aunt's words, or prefers the younger brothers and sisters born to her aunt, she has never complained, she only said that she is the eldest daughter, and she should let her younger siblings go, no matter what, her father always has her in his heart.

However, who knows, Gu Cheng even broke the last piece of pure land in her heart.

What about the Xu family......

It's not that Mrs. Gu is not ashamed to marry the Xu family, but that is the only evidence that Gu Cheng is good to her that she can keep, so it's gone.

For a while, Mrs. Gu's eyes were sour, but she couldn't shed a tear: "Daddy, do you really want to marry your sister to the Xu family?" Tell me to marry into the Li family? Do you know that Li Dalang is a fool. ”

Although Mrs. Gu's heart was cold, she was still a little unwilling, so she asked.

"What a fool." Gu Cheng glared: "People's sister is the imperial concubine, how can she be stupid, it's all spread by others, don't take it seriously, this Li family is a rare good family, the population is simple, and the family has money, I don't know how many times better than the Xu family, your aunt is also for your good, so she asked you to marry, otherwise, with the conditions of our family, what good family do you think you can marry?" ”

Hehe!

Aunt Gu laughed in her heart, what good family can she marry? What I said, in addition to the Xu family, can't she marry the eldest lady Gu, how to say it, she is the daughter of the Gu family, this woman is low, and the woman is high, she doesn't say how good she is to marry, she can marry in a family of five or six officials in Beijing.

Bow her head, Aunt Gu doesn't want to argue with Gu Cheng about anything, she is a daughter who has not been out of the cabinet, what can she do when she meets such a father and such a family? Could it be that she asked her to go to the street to quarrel regardless of her face, or run to Xu's house to fight with her sister-in-law, she couldn't do something like that.

That's it.

Aunt Gu sighed, full of grief, how can you say that Gu Cheng has raised her for more than ten years, and she should have repaid her for more than ten years, she ...... Just follow their wishes, it's just that marrying into the Li family is her repaying the grace of birth and raising with her life, and when she gets married, how can the Gu family have nothing to do with her anymore.

"Since the father said so, the daughter should obey the order." Aunt Gu forced a smile, bowed her head and saluted: "It's up to my father and aunt to arrange." ”

With that, she turned and walked out of the suffocating room.

Out of the house, Aunt Gu walked faster and faster, and finally when she returned to her house, she fell to the ground with a weak body.

Zhen Qiao was frightened, and hurriedly helped her, and saw that her face was like ashes, and the whole person was stupid, Zhen Qiao saw this, and immediately cried: "Big lady, big lady, you, what's wrong with you, don't scare me." ”

While crying, Zhen Qiao used all her strength to move Mrs. Gu to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and poured a bowl of hot tea and brought it over: "Big lady, you should drink a bowl of tea first to warm your heart." ”

Mrs. Gu poured the water into her mouth, drank the hot water, and the whole person seemed to regain some warmth.

She handed the bowl to Zhen Qiao and let out a long sigh of relief: "Zhen Qiao, my life is so hard." ”

"Big lady, don't be sad." Zhen Qiao put down the bowl and stood aside to comfort Mrs. Gu: "In a few days, I will go home to find my cousin, ask him for help, and tell the Xu family about the change of aunt's marriage, I don't believe it, the Xu family doesn't want a good concubine, I will want the second lady." ”

"No need." Mrs. Gu waved her hand: "What can I do if I sue the Xu family, I will only lose the face of the Gu family, and in the end, neither I nor my second sister can marry the Xu family, so it's better to leave it at that, I married into the Li family, and repaid my father's nurturing grace with my life, and in the future, the dust will return to the dust, and the Gu family will have nothing to do with me." ”

Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth and said this, Zhen Qiao heard it, and her heart was also sad, and she shed two tears: "The eldest lady is too good to let them bully like this, if you want to do what I want, it will be turned upside down, you can't get it well, and the second lady will also think about it." ”

"Hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800, so what's the trouble." Mrs. Gu smiled bitterly: "That's it, don't talk about it." ”

Zhen Qiao was still a little unconvinced, and sulked alone for a while, and waited for a while before saying: "Big lady, since you don't want to make trouble, why don't we ask Mrs. Gu about it, or ask Miss Cousin, then what the Li family is like We only listened to it once, but we don't know the truth." ”

"It's a foregone conclusion, what can you do if you ask, why are you bothering." Mrs. Gu laughed and covered the quilt on her body: "I want to take a break, you go down." ”

Zhen Qiao carefully covered Mrs. Gu with a quilt, turned around and walked out of the house, but she was full of plans about how to ask her cousin to help inquire about the Li family.

She took a needle and thread and sat under the porch to make shoes, and when she looked up, she saw Xia Tao excitedly took something that she didn't know and entered the second lady's house, and heard Xia Tao smile again: "Second lady, this is the fabric sent by the Xu family, look at it is really good, the color is also suitable, and I will make new clothes with you tomorrow." ”

It's really a few joys and a few sorrows.

Zhen Qiao couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Mrs. Jin packed up early in the morning, and took Li Luan'er's Geng Ti directly to the Yan family's old house.

At this time, the second and third rooms of the Yan family had already moved out, but Yan Chengyue packed up his things and did not move, waiting for the change of Geng Ti to settle the family affairs before moving to the new house.

Therefore, the Yan family's old house was much empty, Mrs. Jin got off the sedan chair, and saw a woman wearing a honey-colored dress standing at the side door to greet the marquis, and when she saw Mrs. Jin, the woman hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "You are Mrs. Jin, the old man called the slave to welcome you." ”

"I don't know who this sister-in-law is?" When Mrs. Jin saw that the woman was old, she knew that she must be an old man in the house.

The woman smiled: "Everyone in the house is called Sister-in-law Nu Yang, and the slave is an old man who serves the old man." ”

"It turned out to be Sister-in-law Yang." Mrs. Jin smiled: "It's hard work." ”

Sister-in-law Yang didn't dare to say anything, and took Mrs. Jin and the two girls into the house, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw an empty courtyard, in which the terrazzo bricks were paved, which was very smooth, and there were many weapons next to it, which was a martial arts arena.

There is a small openwork shadow wall on one side of the courtyard, and when you go around, there is a delicate and small courtyard, and after the courtyard, it is a long alley-like road.

Keep going forward, I don't know how far I went, there is a side door, enter from the side door, I see five main rooms of Xuanang, three wings on each side of the outside, the yard is also very large, some flowers and plants are planted in the courtyard, only no trees are planted, there are stone tanks on both sides of the yard, the tank is full of clear water, and there are swimming fish in the water.

Sister-in-law Yang smiled: "This is the yard of the eldest lady." ”

As he was talking, he saw the curtain of the door lifted, and a woman wearing a blue flower shirt and a blue horse-faced skirt walked out of the house. ”

Mrs. Jin had never seen anyone, and she knew that this woman must not welcome her very much, but she was forced to see her out of desperation, and smiled, and Mrs. Jin said two kind words and followed the woman into the house.

After some introduction, Mrs. Jin finally determined that this woman was Yan Chengyue's mother, the eldest wife of Yan Mansion, and Li Luan'er's future mother-in-law.

When she sat down, Mrs. Jin observed carefully, and saw that the eldest lady Lin was a little pretentious, she was a person who loved face, but because she loved face, she couldn't do anything too much.

This Lin family hates a person, I'm afraid that he just coldly treats you on the face, or secretly points at you with words, and if it is too much, it will be rubbed in private, and it will not be good on the surface.

After a few words, Mrs. Jin took a look at the Lin family, lowered her head and smiled secretly, this is such a person, not to mention that the Yan family is divided, that is, if the family is not separated, Li Luan'er will never suffer a loss if she marries.

"Mrs. Jin, try this tea, this is the tribute tea that the official family has rewarded, this year we have rewarded a total of about five catties, and we have almost one catty in our house." After saying a few words, Lin picked up the tea and invited Mrs. Jin to drink tea, but there was a bit of arrogance in that tone.

Mrs. Kim smiled and took a sip of the teacup before putting it down.

She understood what the Lin family meant by this, didn't she just see that the Li family had a bad background, and she had never seen good things in people like them, and she knew that this was a tribute tea from the palace, so she would definitely take a few more sips or make some jokes.

It's just that what kind of person is Mrs. Jin, she has been running for half her life, and she has never seen anything, when she was in Jiangnan, Mrs. Jin was one of those powerful guests, not to mention only some tribute tea, which was not available in the palace, and Mrs. Jin, who had never eaten or used it, had also seen it.

Putting down the teacup, Mrs. Jin smiled: "This tea is not bad, Longjing before the rain, I can eat it well, it can be regarded as medium." ”

Lin Shi glared when he heard this: "What do you mean by Madame, this is tribute tea." ”

Mrs. Jin looked at the Lin family: "The eldest lady has been in the back house, and she has never been out of Beijing, I'm afraid that I don't know many things, this progressive thing will never be the best one, the best ones are called by officials from all over the country, and the officials are only a medium, this is a custom in various places, and no local official will break it." ”

The Lin family had never heard of this kind of statement, and when they heard that Mrs. Jin seemed to look down on the tribute tea she took out, she suddenly became anxious: "What does Madam mean by this, why is it not the best for the official family." ”RS
