Chapter 11: Good Concubines
Fu Lan's face turned pale, and her warm and bright eyes were full of inexhaustible grievances. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info held a handkerchief to hide his face as if crying: "I didn't expect Wan'er to miss her mother like this, on weekdays, my mother doesn't take you out just thinking that you don't like it, but I didn't think about it but was misunderstood so far." It's all my mother's fault, my mother didn't think about it carefully. She cried pitifully, and her shoulders trembled just right. A brocade moon embroidered white cardigan lined her slender waist and held it, looking even more pitiful.
Gu Wanjun lowered her eyes and hid the disgust in the depths of her eyes. Do you still want to say that she is not sensible and inconsiderate of her mother's heart? Since it's pitiful, let's see who has better acting skills.
Gu Wanjun's little head tilted and snuggled in the arms of the old lady. The arms holding the old lady tightened even tighter, and whispered in a soft and nasal voice.
"But my mother never asked me if I liked to go out, and you always told me to behave modestly and not to be picky. The last time the flower viewing banquet was when you said that I was always angry with the girl of the Lin family and didn't let me go, but it was obvious that it was Yun'er who disagreed with the girl of the Lin family every time, and I just helped Yun'er. Her voice was soft, and the words she said were already endlessly aggrieved, and now she had a nasal voice. It sounds like crying, and it's heart-wrenching.
The old lady was very angry after listening to her granddaughter's words, and looked up at Fu Lan's aggrieved and justified face, with an indescribable disgust. In addition, the dowry had just passed, and the old lady was even more irritable. Sure enough, if she is not biological, she is not distressed, and she is blocked by her Wan'er everywhere. If Wan'er doesn't say it today, you can imagine what her Wan'er will become in the long run.
Everyone's ladies have to go to the hall, act steadily, be able to feed, socialize, and marry in the future. Although it is important for men to work hard outside, it is also important for wives to socialize in the back.
If Wan'er doesn't go out to socialize since she was a child, she is afraid that her reputation will be hindered in the long run. This Fu Lan actually wanted to raise Wan'er crookedly, which was simply poking the old lady's heart.
The old lady slapped the table, swept her sharp eyes to Fu Lan, and said in a deep voice: "Since you don't want to take care of Wan'er, don't interfere in the future." You have also made up for Wan'er's dowry, so don't worry about it in the future. I will personally decide Wan'er's affairs, and you will just take care of Yun'er in the future. ā
"Mother, it's not like this." Fu Lan was shocked when she heard this, what would others think of her if this was going to be spread? If she doesn't let Gu Wanjun care, what will others think, do she still want to have face?
"Okay, I see you're tired too, let's get out." The old lady didn't bother to say anything more to her, so she directly served tea to the guests.
Fu Lan's lips trembled, and finally she didn't say anything anymore, and walked out with an aggrieved face. She knew the old lady's temper, and if she continued to talk about it, she was afraid that she would even take away the housekeeping rights.
Her slender hands were holding on to the handkerchief, and the handkerchief was twisted and deformed. Fu Lan scolded in her heart, she didn't expect this old thing to give her so little face, and that little one, which blocked her.
Obviously, she used to listen to whatever she said, but since she fell into the water, she has been very hostile to her. I'm afraid that the dowry was deliberately poked out by him! Damn, why didn't this slut die with her short-lived mother back then?
Fu Lanqi hated a lot in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face at all. The back is straight, and it looks aggrieved and strong from behind.
Gu Wanjun pursed her lips, and she didn't know who she was doing this all day long. A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, and she pouted with an aggrieved look on her face. Holding the old lady and whispering, "Grandmother, does my mother really dislike me?" ā
The old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter in her heart, and seeing that her usually bright little face was full of sadness and sadness at the moment, she couldn't help but hug her tightly and comforted: "It's okay, Wan'er has a grandmother who hurts." In the future, don't go to your mother's place, come to your grandmother's. ā
That's what I want. Gu Wanjun was happy in her heart and nodded obediently. She didn't want to go to Fu Lan to say goodbye for a long time, but it would be much better after having her grandmother's words.
Her well-behaved appearance coaxed the old lady to pity her even more, and Gu Wanjun took out the gift she had prepared for the old lady. Although the gift is not expensive, it represents her heart. The old lady accepted it happily, her good granddaughter is so filial, who else does she hurt if she doesn't hurt her?
Gu Wanjun stayed in the nursing hall until Gu Wen and Gu Changyi came back, the two were very happy to see Gu Wanjun, and Gu Changyi even pulled her sister and didn't let go.
Gu Wanjun's heart is warm, she and Changyi are born together, they grew up together since childhood, and their feelings are very deep. Therefore, she would fall ill when she learned of her brother's death in her previous life, that is, from that time, her body began to deteriorate, until she was finally killed by Gu Yunhua.
The old lady told Gu Wen what happened before, Gu Wen pondered for a moment and sighed slightly. Looking at her daughter's eyes, her eyes were full of guilt.
"After all, it's not mine, it's too negligent to Wan'er. I used to think that Fu Lan was fine, but now it seems that ...... In the future, Wan'er will be in the custody of her mother, as for Fu Lan...... It's Yun'er and An'er's mother, and I'm cold to her. Gu Wen looked at his daughter, who looked more and more like his wife, and his thoughts for his wife deepened and deepened. He didn't take good care of his daughter, would Zhao Zhao blame him?
As for Fu Lan's side, it's too much. Gu Wen decided to cold her first during this time, lest she do anything stupid.
The old lady understood Gu Wen's words and nodded. A little bit of color flashed in his eyes. Could it be that she has been chanting Buddha for a long time to make people forget her previous methods? Now even a steproom dares to practice the eyeballs she holds in the palm of her hand. If you don't give a few colors to see, I don't know how arrogant Fu Lan will be in the future.
She thought for a moment, and then said, "Da Lang, since you want to be cold over there, let's take a few concubines into the mansion first." ā
"Mother, what are you talking about!" Gu Wen's face changed when he heard this, and he looked at the old lady with a bitter face.
"If it weren't for your persecution, I wouldn't have married my stepfamily. I'm already very sorry for Zhao Zhao by welcoming Fu Lan into the door, I promised Zhao Zhao not to take a concubine, and now you let me take a concubine, how can I go to see Zhao Zhao after a hundred years? Gu Wen's attitude was against Gu Wanjun, who was eavesdropping while playing with Chang Yi in the back room, a little surprised, although she knew that her father was very infatuated with her mother, but she didn't expect that her father would not accept a concubine after her mother died for so long.
Let her father take a concubine or Gu Wanjun hinted at the old lady intentionally or unintentionally in the afternoon. According to her thoughts, since her father has a stepfamily, it is not too much to take a few concubines, right? Accepting a few good concubines to fight with Fu Lan can divert Fu Lan's attention and have many benefits for what she has to do next.
Gu Wanjun calculated very well, and even took advantage of her grandmother who loved her. I didn't expect her father to be an infatuated species, and it turned out that she didn't accept a concubine because she had promised her mother. Marrying a steproom is because of her grandmother's persecution, no wonder she thinks her father doesn't like Fu Lan very much, so it is.
But if her father doesn't take a concubine, Fu Lan will always have the sole power. Gu Wanjun bit her ruddy lip and continued to listen to the foot of the wall to see what her grandmother said.
"You're so confused!" The old lady was distressed and sad when she looked at her son's infatuated appearance.
"If Zhaozhao is still alive, I will never mention the matter of taking a concubine. But Zhaozhao has been dead for so long, and now your wife is Fu Lan, not Zhaozhao. It's naturally good for you to clean yourself, but have you ever thought about Wan'er and Changyi? ā
The old lady looked at her son's stubborn expression and sighed helplessly. The sons she gave birth to are all infatuated, Wen'er is, Yan'er is ...... Her heart sank and she stopped thinking about it. only said: "I hired Fu Lan as your wife before, thinking that she was Wan'er and Changyi's aunt, although she was a concubine, she was the Fu family." You don't need to be a steproom, and letting her be a steproom should be better than others for Wan'er and Changyi. But now it seems that her heart is probably bigger. ā
Gu Wen's face sank, "An'er can't pass the long memory, what's the use of her doing some small actions?" ā
"I'm afraid she doesn't think so." The old lady answered lightly. She is a woman, so she naturally knows how many means there are in the back house. But she didn't say it explicitly, after all, Fu Lan is only slightly wrong now, and she hasn't actually done anything yet. She just wanted to guard against Fu Lan, Chang Yi was her eldest grandson, and no one could cross over.
"Your concubine can make her mind more distracted, and stop thinking about things that don't belong to her all day long." The old lady paused, and then said, "What's more, you have only two children, Changyi and An'er, and there are still a few less." You were a brother...... There will be fewer and more heirs. Like the Lin family, there are four brothers alone, not to mention the next generation. ā
Gu Wen was silent for a long time, he didn't dare to refute his mother's words about the heir. If you talk too much, I'm afraid that his mother will be sad, after all, his mother only gave birth to him and the second brother, but the second brother is still ......
He looked up at his mother, whose face was full of remorse, and knew that she was thinking of her second brother. My heart softened and I sighed. Anyway, my mother is already so old, can't I obey her wishes? Zhao Zhao ...... I'll explain it to her in a hundred years. Then he said, "In that case, let's do as my mother says." ā
"Really?" The old lady was pleasantly surprised, she knew how stubborn her son was, and now she was able to agree to take a concubine, which really surprised her.
"Yes." Gu Wen replied lightly, "Mother will look at this matter." With that, he got up and went to the back room to look at a pair of similar-looking children. The voice and appearance of his wife appeared in front of him, and he sighed again, turned around and walked out.
Gu Wanjun knew that her father must have gone to the study again. Every time her father misses her mother, she goes to the study.
The old lady moved quickly, and within a few days, she found two good girls. didn't tell Fu Lan, he directly included people in the mansion, and when Fu Lan knew, the two concubines even arranged their residences. Let her be so angry that she dropped a few beloved porcelain, cursed again and again, damn old thing, it will block her!
The old lady deliberately hid Fu Lan, but she was also the old lady of the Gu Mansion. Even if the housekeeping power is in Fu Lan's hands, she can't help Old Madam Gu.
After the two concubines entered the door, they first visited the old lady, and Gu Wanjun was sitting next to the old lady reading quietly. When she saw the two concubines, she was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but praise her grandmother for her good means.
These two concubines are all good-looking, graceful, and refined, and one of them is even more beautiful, with white and tender skin, and is full of beauty.
If this is the case, Gu Wanjun will not be surprised, her father is not lustful, and no matter how beautiful he is, he may not be interested. But what if it's like her mother?
