Chapter 15: The Eve of Departure
In the quiet night, there was a sneer from the Houfu Buddha Hall, which had been silent for many years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Good, that's good!" Letting go of the big hand that was holding Chun Yu's neck, Guo Hongtao picked up an embroidery pier in the hall and sat down.
For the woman in front of him, he was extremely disgusted from the bottom of his heart, not only because of the decline of her mother's family, but also because of her personality.
Since Chun Yu Jiayan married into the Guo family, he didn't seem to have understood it. In the first few years of marriage, after all, they were a young couple, and he also looked forward to the days when he raised his eyebrows, but this woman was sad and cried at every turn, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were only rough, and she was also timid in handling family affairs, and she was finally unable to match the standard good wife and mother in her heart; Gradually, he became estranged; When the Yang family entered the door, they were admitted to a few concubine rooms; He rarely entered the door of Chunyu's house. If it weren't for a drunken drunk fifteen years ago, there would be no more entanglements between the two, and there would be no Guo Lanxin.
These days are to accompany Imajo, the concubine Niangniang and his party to the palace, and only returned to Kyoto in the afternoon. After dealing with the trivial matters of the official office, when he returned late at night, he was told by his henchmen that Guo Lanxin had been received by the old lady, although he was a little surprised in his heart; But he didn't have the shock of seeing Chun Yu's performance tonight.
"Chun Yu Jiayan, Lan Xin is going to move to the old lady in two days, do you know?"
"The concubine doesn't know", still kneeling on the ground, Chun Yu's expression moved slightly, but he still lowered his eyebrows, "If you can keep it by the old lady's side, it's also good." ”
"Chun Yu Jiayan, don't you want to care about Lan Xin's life in the past few years? Even if you are hungry, cold, and humiliated? Guo Hongtao, who was usually good at forbearance, lost his composure, and he really wanted to see how far the woman in front of him could go.
"If she is really hungry and cold, and humiliated, it is also her life, and the life of our mother and daughter......"
"You...... You ruthless woman! "I thought I was cold enough, but I didn't expect Chun Yu's to be even more indifferent to his own daughter." She's your own daughter! ”
"How Lan Xin was born, Master Hou, don't you know very well?"
"Chun Yu Jiayan, you are really a mother in vain!"
Not wanting to see the ruthless woman in front of him again, Guo Hongtao trembled with anger, and suddenly slapped Chun Yushi to the ground, and then took a big stride, leading the little girl away without looking back.
At the same moment, in the dark corner, a sneaky figure also disappeared beside the pillars and galloped in the direction of Rongqing Hall.

In the night wind, Yonghe, who had a blank face, helped up Chun Yushi, who was lying on the floor, and sighed lightly and cleaned the bleeding corners of his mouth with a wet handkerchief.
"Madame, why are you doing this?"
"Yonghe, I really don't want to see this man again, as soon as I see him, thinking of the Guo family's face, I feel disgusted in my heart!"
"No one understands your suffering, the pain in your heart, better than Yonghe; But, ma'am, there is one thing that the slave maid has to say, and that is your attitude towards the little lady...... It's really over. ”
"Yonghe, you know the reason why I don't want to face that child......" Holding the teary eyes, Chun Yu's gaze was filled with deep hatred.
"But, no matter how much you hate, you conceived and gave birth to her in October, and she is your daughter! If you chose to give birth to her, why can't you treat her well? I just hate the Guo family again, child, after all, he is innocent, and he still has your blood on his body! ”
It seemed that the small figure wrapped in swaddling clothes for fourteen years appeared in front of me again, and I heard the immature child's voice calling my mother, I haven't seen the child for about how many days, three or four years......
"Hunger and cold, and humiliation...... Has my daughter been living like that all these years? The sad apricot eyes looked at the Houfu Pavilion hidden in the darkness outside the door, and Chun Yu muttered.
"Yonghe, all these years, I really ...... Did you do it wrong? ”

In the early morning of the next day, at two o'clock, Guo Lanxin, who was dressed in a light green skirt and only had a jade hairpin, packed up and stopped, and stepped off the soft sedan chair with the support of Gu Nanniang and Qiu Cicada, and saw Guo Furong waiting in front of Yixin Hall early. Dressed in a lilac skirt, a hairpin with plain beaded flowers, and a jasper hairpin, standing under the corridor is picturesque; At this moment, those big charming eyes were looking at her with a smile.
"The second sister came quite early."
"It's not as early as my sister." Bow down and be blessed, Guo Lan is pious and polite, "I went to the temple to offer incense today, my sister has never been far away, if there is anything wrong, please mention it more to my sister." ”
"Look at my sister's politeness," hurriedly helped, Guo Furong was still full of smiles, "You and I are in the boudoir, as long as you abide by your duty, talk less and watch more." ”
"Thank you, sister, for your advice."
"Lan Xin, you and my sister, shouldn't be so polite!" Holding Guo Lanxin's hand and covering the disgust in her heart, Guo Furong said with some disgust.
"It's my sister who thinks it's bad" grabbed Guo Furong back, Guo Lanxin also responded with a smile, full of shame, "I will be closer to my sister in the future." ”
"That's right." I don't know how long I've been listening, Guo Yushi, who stepped down the steps of Yixintang, was full of smiles, followed by Tan's mother and Chunmei.
"It's really gratifying to see the deep sisterhood between you two early in the morning." Waving his hand to let the two salute get up, today's Guo Yushi is also dressed in a simple outfit, only combed a round bun, a sandalwood hairpin on his hairpin, and a dark green regular clothes.
looked at Mother Tan on the side, and saw that the other party nodded, and she was about to give the order to go; I saw a pink figure rushing in; It was the third lady of the big house, Guo Cuiqiao.
"Grandmother, wait for me!"
She rushed into the second door, shouting and walking quickly, her reckless appearance made Guo Yushi shake his head, and Guo Furong on the side looked at Guo Furong with ridicule in his eyes.
"How can a girl's family be so reckless?" scolded sharply, Guo Yu's face changed, "I really shouldn't have promised your father to let you out, you have to get into trouble if you look at it!" ”
"Yes. The granddaughter knew her mistake" promised in a low voice, and Guo Cuiqiao, who was a little embarrassed, hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"I've seen my grandmother, I've seen ...... Two older sisters. Those dark and smart eyes, when they saw Guo Lanxin who was returning the salute by Guo Furong's side, they glared at it with disdain, and then climbed on Guo Yu's arm affectionately. Grandmother, Cui Qiao has a rare opportunity to go out with you today, and I am very happy in my heart. ”
"You girl, this temperament really has to be changed...... "Looking at the picturesque eyebrows in front of him helplessly, thinking of his eldest son, Guo Yushi finally got rid of his anger.
"Thank you, Grandmother!" hurriedly squatted down and saluted, this time Guo Cuiqiao was full of smiles.
"Alright, let's go!" I don't want to see Guo Cuiqiao behaving anymore; Guo Yushi commanded in a deep voice.
The group rushed to the end of the inner courtyard under the leadership of Guo Yushi, and the three carriages marking the Yongchang Marquis Mansion were stopped in the middle of the road.
Guo Yushi, who had a solemn face, took Tan's mother and Chunmei into the first carriage.
"Sister Lanxin and I will sit in the same car" affectionately took Guo Lanxin's hand, threw off Guo Cuiqiao, and Guo Furong ran to the second car; Guo Cuiqiao, who was angry, gritted her teeth.
"What's the spirit!" Stamped her feet unconvinced, remembering Aunt Guan's instructions before departure, the unwilling Guo Cuiqiao finally muttered and sat in the third carriage.
