Two days have passed since I left Fenglai Valley. www.biquge.info In the past two days, I have been on the road during the day and resting at night. During this period, Gu Tingcheng asked Steward Feng countless times to inquire about the purpose of taking her back to Beijing.

However, Steward Feng has a very strict mouth. Gu Qingcheng tried many times, but he didn't hear more useful information from his mouth.

In the end, even Gu Chengcheng himself chose to give up.

On this day, their group has returned to the integration town closest to the capital, which means that after this town, they will be able to enter the capital and return to the Gu family before noon tomorrow.

Although it was still early, Steward Feng still decided to stay in this town for the night.

Because of the rush for several days, Gu Qingcheng's face was not very good. To put it simply, it was she who got motion sickness. The already malnourished body is even more miserable at the moment.

Steward Xu Feng also noticed this, so he temporarily stopped the trip and stayed here. In the integration town, I chose the inn that seemed to be the best - the Rifle Inn for renovation.

I don't know if it's Gu Qingcheng's illusion, since they stepped into this town, she always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at her all the time. However, looking around, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

After eight years of leaving the Gu Mansion, they will return to the capital tomorrow, but now they don't know the situation in the Gu Mansion. In order not to be too embarrassed when he returned to the house tomorrow, Gu Qingcheng asked Wang's mother about everything in the Gu Mansion overnight.

Gu Qingcheng's great-grandfather once accompanied the ancestors of the first emperor to fight on the battlefield, because of his meritorious service in escorting the first emperor and blocking an arrow for the first emperor, he was named a loyal and brave candidate, and he was also the only one with a foreign surname.

When Gu Tingcheng's great-grandfather was still alive, it could be said that the Gu Mansion was at its peak. After the death of her great-grandfather, the glory of the foreign surname Hou gradually passed in the course of history. Today's Gu Mansion only has a title, and no one cares about it anymore.

Gu Tingcheng's father is called Gu Jinlin, Gu Jinlin himself married a wife and four aunts, and the eldest lady has a son and a daughter, and her maiden family is an authentic imperial relative Huainan Houfu.

And Gu Tingcheng's mother is not even an aunt, because Gu Tingcheng's mother is Gu Jinlin's concubine outside. About Gu Tingcheng's mother, Mother Wang doesn't know much, only that she is called Mrs. Yue. It is said that Gu Jinlin once doted on this Mrs. Yue very much, and wanted to raise her as a flat wife, but was stopped by the old lady.

Gu Tingcheng was taken back to the mansion when he was born, because Mrs. Yue had a difficult birth, and she didn't know what deal Gu Jinlin had made with the old lady, Gu Tingcheng was recorded in the name of the eldest lady Xiang.

In addition, Gu Tingcheng also has an older sister and a younger sister, who were born to the third and fourth aunts respectively.

"Mother Wang, why didn't the second aunt give birth to a son and a half daughter when she entered the mansion at the earliest?"

After getting to know the members of the Gu Mansion, Gu Tingcheng was a little puzzled by this second aunt. After listening to her inquiry, Wang's mother looked a little gloomy. The second aunt did not give birth to a son and a half daughter.

The second aunt became pregnant soon after she entered the house, and the doctor also found out that she was a little boy in the morning. However, it is a pity that the fetus was aborted at the age of six months, and the second aunt was injured and could no longer have children.

The most common thing in the high-rise mansion compound is these shady things, if the second aunt's child says that it is not the hand of the eldest lady, I am afraid no one will believe it. Tomorrow they will enter Beijing, although Wang's mother has been looking forward to this day.

However, when it was really time to review the mansion, Wang's mother was very worried about whether Gu Tingcheng could survive in such a big cage.

Xu saw the worry in Wang's mother's heart, Gu Qingcheng held her hands and said to her, "Don't worry, since we are back, we won't fall down easily." I'll definitely give you a good life. ”

Eight years ago, she and Wang's mother were sent to Fenglai Valley by the Gu Mansion. If it weren't for Mother Wang, I'm afraid Gu Tingcheng would have been out of this world a long time ago.

Now, Heaven has given her a chance to come back. Then she must repay Mother Wang well.

The purpose of the Gu Mansion to send someone to pick her up will definitely not be so simple, since she is asked to return to Beijing, she has something to ask for. In the short term, they shouldn't be in any danger.

Let's see how she Gu Chengcheng will step into this high-rise mansion compound tomorrow.

This was the first time that Gu Tingcheng felt the prosperity of the ancient city. After a morning of departure, they finally returned to the capital.

The streets here are full of traffic and all kinds of hawking, and it is completely different from a small mountain village like Fenglai Valley. It was the first time for Gu Tingcheng to feel the liveliness of the ancient capital, and he couldn't help but lift the curtain from time to time to look at the prosperity here.

The more the carriage walked forward, a burst of sadness surged in Gu Qingcheng's heart. is also the daughter of the Gu Mansion, but Gu Qingcheng was sent to such a place and ignored it, leaving her to fend for herself.

Even if she is picked up now, the original Gu Tingcheng can't wait.

On the teahouse on the side, there were two sons in gorgeous brocade clothes, and they all looked down after seeing the Gu family's carriage coming. One of the sons jokingly said to the person opposite:

"I heard that as soon as the eldest lady of the Gu family heard the content of the marriage on the holy decree, she cried, made trouble and hanged herself, why didn't she want to marry into the Jingwang Mansion." The old lady of the Gu family thought that the holy decree only said that it was the daughter of the Gu family, and did not specify that it was Gu Qian'an, so she thought of a trick to replace Gu Ting'an and marry into the Jingwang Mansion.

However, after this idea was proposed, the other two young ladies of the Gu family refused to marry Gu Tian'an.

Everyone in the world knows that His Royal Highness King Jing was paralyzed in both legs due to injuries in his early years, and his personality was even more irritable. Although the title of Princess Jing looks good, as soon as she gets married, she will be widowed, and she will worry about her life, who wants to do it?

At this time, the eldest lady proposed Gu Tingcheng, the concubine sent out by Gu Mansion eight years ago, and asked Gu Tingcheng to return to Beijing to marry King Jing's Mansion. There is no need to bear the charge of resisting the decree, let alone marrying into the Jingwang Mansion, this proposal was quickly agreed to in full.

Gu Fu's abacus was skillful, but they didn't know that they knew all this. They are unwilling to marry into the Jingwang Mansion, but the Jingwang Mansion is not what they are qualified to enter. The boy who spoke just now saw that the person opposite did not pay attention, and continued to speak:

"I heard that this Miss Gu, who returned to Beijing, has been sent to the countryside since she was a child, this is a good show, a village girl wants to be sent to Jingwang's Mansion, and I don't know how dare Gu Mansion has. Do you want me to help you go and get her done? ”

At this time, Gu Tingcheng didn't know that she had caused a murder as soon as she returned to Beijing, she was looking at the dazzling array of eyes on the street in amazement, a pair of rolling eyes with a fresh aura, even if she was plain and had not yet grown, it made people feel pleasing to the eyes and clear in the heart.

Although he knew that it was the young lady from the Gu family, Mo Lianqi still felt a little strange feeling in his heart.

Xie Qingjun saw that Mo Lianqi did not respond, and also followed his gaze to look down. Sometimes fate is like this, and a second difference is a miss. When Xie Qingjun looked at it again, Gu Qingcheng had already lowered the curtain. Gu's carriage slowly passed by the teahouse and headed in the direction of Gu's house.

"We all know what the temperament of those young ladies in the Gu Mansion is, if we let them into the Jingwang Mansion, it will not be good for us. Since the Gu Mansion has picked up the third young lady, and the horizontal and vertical ones will be stuffed into the Jingwang Mansion, why don't we be happy to see it choose a third lady of the Gu family who is easy to control. ”

King Jing is the younger brother of the current saint and half-brother. In a battle for the throne that year, almost all the princes were killed, and only King Jing survived because of his disabled feet. After all, a cripple does not threaten his position.

Although King Jing survived, the current saint has not taken him lightly. This marriage seems to be for the succession of King Jing's Mansion, but it is also a kind of humiliation, he is testing Mo Lianqi.

However, he probably didn't expect that Gu Fu would choose to pick up a third lady who didn't show up in Beijing, as long as they took the first step to control her, it was not certain who would lose or win in this game.

Xie Qingjun also thought of this layer after listening to it, indeed, if they want to fight back, anyone will be restrained. A young lady who has just returned to Beijing is different.

Gu Tingcheng, who had not yet appeared, was determined to have his next fate as soon as he returned to Beijing, and at this time, the carriage of the Gu Mansion had returned to the gate of the Gu Mansion. Mother Wang carefully helped Gu Qingcheng get out of the carriage.

The mighty big lion, the high gate of vermilion lacquer, and the loyal and brave plaque written by the emperor himself all show the glory of the Gu Mansion.

It's just funny that the title of Zhongyong Hou was not said to be hereditary at the beginning, and people with status called it Gu Mansion, and only the people of the Gu family have been deceiving themselves and believing that this is Hou Mansion.

Because the news of the third lady's return to the house had already been conveyed, the concierge of the Gu Mansion immediately sent someone to the front hall of the Gu Mansion after seeing the return of Steward Feng and his party. Gu Tingcheng followed Steward Feng into the gate of the Gu Mansion.

After entering the Gu Mansion, Gu Tingcheng knew what pavilions, pavilions, famous gardens, water pavilions, and the quaint corridors that zigzagged back were far from the gardens of Suzhou compared to the Gu Mansion. This is where Gu Qingcheng will stay in the future.

It didn't take long for them to come to the front hall of the Gu Mansion, and Steward Feng went in first, and then led Gu Tingcheng into the living room.

When the third lady returned to Beijing, although she was a village girl, the masters of the Gu Mansion all came to the front hall. Gu Tingcheng didn't look up, as soon as he entered the inside, Gu Tingcheng and Wang's mother knelt down in the middle first, and greeted the old lady with a big salute.

"My granddaughter is in the city and asks her grandmother for peace, and I wish her grandmother a long and healthy life."

Gu Tingcheng's etiquette was taught by Wang's mother, although it was not decent, but it couldn't find anything wrong. When she had finished saluting, the old lady let them get up.

"Mother Wang, the third lady has been taken care of well, and you have worked a little hard over the years."

After they got up, the old lady did not look at Gu Qingcheng for the first time, but put her eyes on Wang Ma. Wang Ma was sent to Fenglai Valley with Gu Tingcheng back then, and took care of Gu Tingcheng for many years, but after she came back, she only got such a sentence.

Hearing what the old lady said, the queen mother knelt down tremblingly and replied, "Old lady Xie's words, these are all things that slaves and maids should do. ”

As soon as Gu Tingcheng got up, he saw Wang Ma kneeling down, the hand under the sleeve was shaken, and Gu Tingcheng looked at the old lady sitting on the high seat.

The mean look in that memory is a little older. No matter how strong she is, time still portrays the lost time on her face.

"Well, you should step back first. I haven't seen her for many years, but San'er has grown into a big girl. It's just that I don't know if that temperament has converged, so I won't mention the past. Let's go and see your father and mother first. ”

This is the old lady of the Gu Mansion, who firmly holds all the power of the Gu Mansion. Back then, she was the one who sent Gu Tingcheng to Fenglai Valley for exile, and now she is still holding a grateful posture when she comes back.

Gu Qingcheng followed her line of sight and looked to the left, the man without any emotion on his face was her father, and sitting next to him was Mrs. Gu, the head of the Gu Mansion.

Gu Tingcheng knelt down and saluted them again, Gu Tingcheng's father stopped talking after humming, but Mrs. Gu cordially stretched out her hand to hold Gu Tingcheng.

"San'er has suffered all these years, and the previous things have passed, so it's good to come back."

Gu Tingcheng is going to marry her daughter to King Jing's Mansion, and the eldest lady's superficial work still has to be done.

When Gu Tingcheng left Beijing, the Gu Mansion said that he was going out to recuperate, of course, no one paid attention to a concubine of the Gu Mansion at that time. Now that Mrs. Gu said this, it should be regarded as Gu Tingcheng's return from healing.

"Allure has made my mother worried." A housewife of the Gu Mansion, Gu Tingcheng has no good impression of her, she is only superficial, and she is not a vegetarian.

If you want to say that she didn't participate in the events of the year, Gu Qingcheng doesn't believe it, one is his son and the other is a concubine who is recorded in her name. Mrs. Gu had a good show back then.

After seeing his father and mother, Gu Tingcheng simply said hello to a few aunts.

Gu Tingcheng is the young lady of the Gu Mansion, so the aunts of the Gu Mansion naturally don't need her to salute. The eldest lady just introduced the sons and young ladies of the Gu Mansion to Gu Tingcheng one by one.

Gu Changan sat beside the eldest lady, and when Gu Qingcheng greeted her, Gu Changan looked very friendly, as if she was a sister. This made Gu Tingcheng feel a little strange.

The second sister, Gu Changping, is more normal, neither close nor alienated. Gu Tingcheng felt that this second sister was a little interesting.

The fourth sister Gu Tingyu looked more strange, she only called the third sister and didn't speak again, as if talking to Gu Tingcheng was bad luck, her chin was slightly raised, I don't know if she usually looks at people with her nostrils.

For the fourth sister's ignorance, Gu Qingcheng only smiled in his heart, and didn't care, who made her older than her, and didn't care about it like a child.

Gu Shixian, the eldest son of the Gu Mansion who caused her to be sent out of the capital, before Gu Qingcheng walked up to him, he stood up and walked over. The cyan eye sockets looked like the result of overindulgence. At this moment, he walked up to Gu Qingcheng and was afraid to catch her bare hands.

Gu Qingcheng's reflexes were also good, and he avoided his monkey claws very dexterously.

Gu Shixian was not angry when he saw Gu Chengcheng dodging away, and greeted her with a lewd smile and said, "Sister Chengcheng, I am Brother Shixian, do you remember me?" ”

Everyone didn't react to Gu Shixian's move, who didn't know that the eldest son of the Gu Mansion liked to visit the flower building the most, and most of the maids in the house had been molested by him.

Gu Tingcheng had just returned to Beijing, and he grew up in the countryside, so he had nothing to do with them. Gu Shixian is the only bloodline of the Gu Mansion, and the old lady loves him the most. Who dares to make him unhappy for the sake of Gu Qingcheng.

Looking at Gu Shixian's face that was about to flow down, Gu Qingcheng held back the unhappiness in his heart before he spoke:

"Allure naturally remembers."

That Gu Shixian heard Gu Qingcheng say that he still remembered him, and the expression on his face was very excited. When he was about to say something more, his father interrupted him.

Gu Tingcheng's father seemed a little impatient, although Gu Tingcheng was his daughter, he had no impression of Gu Tingcheng originally, if he didn't need her to come back to marry this time, he wouldn't have come to the front hall at all.

Now that Gu Qingcheng has come back and people have seen it, he told the old lady that he had left beforehand.

As soon as Gu Jinlin left, the eldest lady glared at Gu Shixian and warned him not to mess around. Gu Shixian could only sit back in his seat.

Everyone had already recognized it, and the old lady asked Steward Feng to come in and lead Gu Qingcheng to the courtyard where she lived.

After Gu Qingcheng left the front hall, everyone also dispersed. Gu Tingcheng was taken back by them to marry Jingwang Mansion, although she pretended to be a family on the face, but in fact, she didn't look down on her at all. As long as Princess Gu Chengjing is decided, they don't have to pretend anymore.

Gu Qingcheng's abacus in the heart of the Gu family didn't know that she and Wang Ma were following Steward Feng to the backyard of the Gu Mansion.

The courtyard that the Gu family arranged for her is not bad, Yayuan. also gave her a servant girl, and it seems that she really treats her as the third lady of the Gu Mansion.

"Third Miss, this is the courtyard where you and Wang Ma live. This is Xiaoru, who was arranged by the eldest lady to serve the third lady. If you need anything, let Xiaoru come over to find the old slave. If the third lady has nothing else to do, the old slave will go down first. ”

With a place to live and a servant girl to serve, Gu Qingcheng asked Steward Feng to retire without anything else. This old guy didn't eat oil and salt, and she wasted her saliva along the way, and there was no useful information out of his mouth.

After he walked away, Gu Qingcheng set his eyes on this servant girl Xiaoru. I thought there would be some progress in her, but the eldest lady did everything well. This Xiaoru was just bought into the mansion by her, and she didn't know everything about the Gu mansion.

Now Gu Qingcheng has no way, if he comes, he can only take one step at a time.
