145. Chapter 145
"I don't blame you, but I can't keep you anymore. One servant can't do two masters, you should know this truth better than me. As a subordinate, the most important thing is not ability, but loyalty. ”
Danxin may be very loyal to himself, but when this loyalty meets Hao Shaoyang, it will be greatly reduced. Now that she has broken off with Hao Shaoyang, there is no need for Danxin to stay anymore.
"Miss!" Dan Xin had already burst into tears, she opened her mouth, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
In the end, Gu Chongyang was not hard-hearted, and he was a little uncomfortable seeing her like this, so he softened his voice and said, "I don't blame you, and I even thank you from the bottom of my heart." You've done a lot for me in the past few years. If it weren't for your help, I am afraid that when I fought with the old lady in the second room before, I am afraid it would not have been so smooth. Your family and relatives are all in the Linjiang Hou Mansion, and you can reunite with your family when you go back. When you saw Hao Shaoyang, you only said that I didn't want to keep you by my side, and I believe he wouldn't blame you. ”
Danxin's guilt finally reached the extreme, she choked and kowtowed to Gu Chongyang: "Miss, I'm sorry, I'm not by your side in the future, you must take care of yourself." ”
"Hmm." Gu Chongyang nodded: "You too, go back and have a good reunion with your family." ”
Early the next morning, Gu Chongyang went to Wang's house.
When she came back at noon, she heard the laughter and laughter in the courtyard of Mrs. Cui, it turned out that it would be the birthday of Mrs. Xinguo in three days, and the Xinguo Mansion sent someone to pass the word, saying that Mrs. Ying would take the ladies of the Gu family to the birthday banquet.
Mrs. Xinguo and Gu Chongyang's grandfather are brothers and sisters who have always taken good care of the Gu family.
The Xinguo Mansion produced a concubine Niangniang, and a princess, the Holy Lady Youlong. The Gu family's title was able to be returned, thanks to Concubine Hui's maneuvering in front of the emperor and empress.
The Gu family has never had the opportunity to repay the Xinguo Mansion, and now that they have this opportunity, this birthday gift cannot be missed.
Old Madam Cui left Mrs. Yingda and Second Lady to discuss the birthday gift with Ge Bilian, and the young ladies naturally followed Gu Chongyang to the side hall.
In the past two years, the Gu family has been plagued by disasters, and Gu Chongzhu has caused a big disaster again, except for Gu Chonghua, the little girl of the Gu family has been successfully admitted to Ruizhu Academy, and the other girls rarely go out to socialize. Now that they have such a good opportunity to go out and join in the fun, they are naturally happy.
Gu Chongzhu's face was full of spring breeze, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never dispersed.
Gu Chongzhen sneered: "Second sister, you better put away your smile, although Gongzi He is indeed good-looking, but you just look at each other, in the end, you have not decided on family affairs, let alone exchanged Geng posts, and there will be changes at any time." I advise you not to rejoice too soon, lest you cry too ugly at the time. ”
The smile on Gu Chongzhu's face stiffened for a moment, and then he sneered: "I'm happy to be able to attend my aunt's birthday banquet, what does it have to do with Gongzi He?" Are you so angry, is it jealousy? ”
Without waiting for Gu Chongzhen to answer, she smiled and grabbed Gu Chongyang's arm: "Fourth sister, when you go to the Xinguo Mansion in a few days, let's go together." The eldest sister is a talented girl from Ruizhu Academy, but wherever she goes, famous ladies revolve around her, and the two of us will definitely not be cared for. Instead of being alone and embarrassed at that time, it is better for us to be together, and save yourself from being lonely and lonely. ”
Gu Chongyang didn't care, she smiled and nodded: "It's okay." ”
Gu Chongzhen glared at him and took Gu Chongyang's other arm: "Fourth sister, if you are afraid of being alone, follow me, you and I are both in four rooms, how can you be with people in other rooms." Besides, and Cousin Xiyue, wouldn't the three of us be more lively together than with an outsider? ”
Chai Xiyue also nodded: "What Cousin Zhen said is, let's just get the three of us together." ”
Gu Chongyang looked at Gu Chongzhen, who was satisfied, Chai Xiyue who was indifferent, and then at Gu Chongzhu, who was angry, and suddenly understood.
Chai Xiyue and Gu Chongzhen have formed an alliance and deliberately targeted Gu Chongzhu.
On the surface, it is a gang between young ladies, but in fact, it is a contest between the second lady Fei and the fourth lady Ge Bilian.
In this case, she is reconciled with the mud. If Ge Bilian and Chai Xiyue are honest, the things in her current life are a dream, but if they die by themselves, then the new and old accounts will be counted together.
Gu Chongyang made a dilemma.
Gu Chongzhu suddenly smiled and said: "Fourth sister, there is nothing to worry about, you come with me, let's go out, and others will know that the two of us are the second miss and the fourth miss, and we are serious young ladies." Some people are Miss Cousin and Miss Jane, and they can't get on the stage when they listen to it. ”
"Who do you say can't be on the stage?" Gu Chongzhen is most afraid that others will talk about her background, Gu Chongzhu's words simply hit her wound: "I am a serious young lady of the Gu family, and I was registered on the family tree with the consent of my uncle and grandmother, why are you scolding?" ”
Her voice was high-pitched and sharp: "Go, follow me to my grandmother, I want my grandmother to administer justice to me!" ”
Gu Chongzhu's face turned pale, she was most afraid of Mrs. Cui, she didn't beat people, she wasn't afraid of people, so she let people kneel in the small black room where they couldn't see their fingers. No food, no water to drink, only a bucket of grubbing, a hungry day and a night.
She panicked just thinking about it.
"Alright, alright." Gu Chongyang naturally wouldn't let this kind of thing get in front of Mrs. Cui, she decided to help Gu Chongzhu: "Sister Zhen, don't be angry, Second Sister didn't mean to scold you, she just said something wrong for a while." Second sister, hurry up and accompany Sister Zhen. ”
I just don't know if I am willing to bow my head according to Gu Chongzhu's temper.
Gu Chongzhu's appearance was very surprising, and she hurriedly said: "Sister Zhen, I was wrong just now, don't be like me." ”
There is no reluctance at all, it seems that this upbringing is indeed very powerful, and even Gu Chongzhu has been cured.
"Humph!" Gu Chongzhen gained the upper hand, let go of his hand and said, "It's pretty much the same." ”
Gu Chongyang persuaded a few more words, and then went back to Guan Juyuan under the pretext of an excuse.
Not long after she went back, Chai Xiyue came, and as soon as she entered the door, she said: "Fourth cousin, Mr. He is here today, Mr. He is personable, elegant and delicate, and the second lady and second cousin are very satisfied with him." ”
Gu Chongzhu is a brainless fool, and it is not a good fate to come to He Runnian, but he is just a widower with a dead wife.
didn't expect He Runnian to be so good, and when she glanced at it through the screen, her heart was pounding. Not only is he good-looking, but his family background is also good. What does Gu Chongzhu have, why did she marry such a good person, and the person who can really be worthy of He Runnian is her Chai Xiyue.
It's a pity that she came from a humble background and no one planned for her.
After speaking, she stared at Gu Chongyang without blinking.
Gu Chongyang didn't speak, but a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.
He Runnian? He is indeed good-looking, has a good skin, and likes to write poems in the wind and snow, which is indeed very attractive to a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world. It's a pity that she has already seen through this person, and she has made up her mind that she will never have anything to do with him again in this life.
Seeing that the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed and her face was not good-looking, Chai Xiyue was overjoyed. Gu Chongyang really has an interest in He Runnian, as long as she provokes it and makes the Gu family sisters suspicious, she will have the opportunity to take advantage of it. With her beauty and wisdom, she can't worry about He Gongzi's heart.
"Fourth cousin, it's a pity that you're not here today, if you see it, I'm afraid you will also think that Gongzi He looks good!" Chai Xiyue said tentatively: "Others say that the second cousin is a good match with He Gongzi, but in fact, in my opinion, you are much more beautiful than the second cousin, so you are naturally more compatible with He Gongzi." What a pity! ”
Chai Xiyue is simply punishable!
She also wanted to coax her like she had done in her previous life.
She Gu Chongyang has never been a smart person, and she was even more ignorant in her previous life, she inadvertently met He Runnian and had a good impression of him. After Chai Xiyue found out her thoughts, she kept praising He Runnian in her ear, praising him as if there was nothing in heaven and on earth, and saying how compatible she was with He Runnian.
In her previous life, she was raised by Ge Bilian in the inner house, and if it sounded good, it was arrogant and simple, and if it was ugly, it was called brainless. Except for the young master and the little maid of the Gu family, she has never seen other foreign men.
Under the instigation of Chai Xiyue, he really had a heart for He Runnian, originally he just had a good impression, but then he didn't know what was going on, and he had the idea of not marrying a non-king.
Chai Xiyue also asked her to contact He Runnian privately and asked her to write a letter to He Runnian, although she was ignorant, she didn't dare to do such a thing.
One of the things she regretted the most was that she listened to Chai Xiyue's words, and on the occasion of He Runnian's birthday, she embroidered a purse for He Runnian, and asked Chai Xiyue to give it to He Runnian.
Her embroidery was so bad that it was unsightly, and the purse was extremely ugly, but Chai Xiyue said that it was important in her heart, and said that He Runnian would definitely be moved, and even go to the Gu family to propose marriage. At that time, she will be able to break away from the Gu family, get rid of Ge Bilian's clutches, and live a happy life with her sweetheart.
In order to get out of the Gu family as soon as possible, for the kind of beautiful life described by Chai Xiyue, she was moved.
He Runnian likes the wind and snow, seeing things on the surface, I heard that a little girl took the initiative to send a purse and was very happy, and there was some meaning that she wanted to show off, but she received such an ugly purse, and the mood can be imagined. He was annoyed and angry, rejected her without pretense, and asked Chai Xiyue to take the words, saying that he had no love for her, and made her die.
It was from then on that Chai Xiyue fell into He Runnian's eyes, and the two eyebrows went to each other, and they gradually hooked up and became adulterous.
Later, King Rong rebelled, and Marquis Yan led troops to resist, which angered King Rong. After he successfully usurped the throne, in order to show his virtue, he did nothing on the surface, but secretly assassinated many ministers who opposed him.
Yanenhou Mansion is naturally also a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.
Yan Enhou knew that his life was short, and he accidentally learned that she loved He Runnian, and in order to leave a glimmer of hope for the He family, he forced He Runnian to propose to her.
At that time, my uncle was the hero of the puppet emperor and was named the Duke of Liangguo, if the He family married the Shen family, even if the uncle couldn't protect the Yan'en Hou Mansion, at least he could protect He Runnian, so that he could leave an incense for the He family.
Of course, my uncle disagreed, but she couldn't help but beg bitterly.
She didn't know at that time that her willfulness had caused a lot of trouble to her uncle, who had made a lot of effort to keep He Runnian.
It's ridiculous that she only knows that He Runnian is afraid of her uncle, but she doesn't know the real reason.
At that time, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yan Enhou, was very dissatisfied with her. felt that she let her baby son marry such a straw bag, and suffered this great grievance, just hoping to keep the Yanenhou Mansion, but the death of her husband and eldest son and second son made her angry with Gu Chongyang.
Externally, Mrs. Yan Enhou only said that Gu Chongyang had a hard life, and he killed his father-in-law and two eldest brothers, and Gu Chongyang was also confused, and he really believed that his life was hard.
When he first married He Runnian, he was indeed very good to her, and the moment he lifted his hijab, it was the first time He Runnian saw her, and the amazement in his eyes made her secretly happy. But later, he slowly revealed his true colors, and all he liked was her young body, like a flower's beauty.
In the end, the puppet emperor failed and was forced to commit suicide by Wang Jiulang. After Wang Jiulang's death, the new emperor liquidated the former ministers of the puppet emperor, and her chess piece was naturally abandoned by the Yan'en Marquis Mansion, leaving her with only a dead end.
In her previous life, although she was stupid, Chai Xiyue made great contributions.
She didn't plan to pursue the matter of her previous life, but she didn't expect Chai Xiyue to let her go.
Didn't Chai Xiyue just think that she was stupid and easy to handle, and she could play with her with her wisdom? Since this is the case, then she will be able to fulfill the firewood and cherish the moon.
Gu Chongyang sneered in his heart, but his face showed a little grievance: "Actually, if you don't say it, I also know that He Gongzi is very good, I have inadvertently seen He Gongzi before, but I didn't expect him to marry the second sister, it's really unpredictable." ”
Chai Xiyue was overjoyed in her heart, feeling that things were really as she thought. As long as she wins the trust of Gu Chongyang and robs Gu Chongzhu's marriage, she can not only marry Ruyi Langjun, but also satisfy the fourth lady, and then she will recognize the fourth lady as her godmother, and have the Qingyang Houfu as her maiden family, and she will be a noble lady in the future.
"Fourth cousin, I would never dare to say this in the past, but I treat you as my own sister, so I have to think more about you." Chai Xiyue said in her heart: "Listen to what you mean, you like He Gongzi very much, right?" ”
Gu Chongyang looked shy and sadly lowered his head: "So what?" He is about to become my second brother-in-law, and I can't take away the cause of my second sister. ”
"My good cousin, you are so stupid!" Chai Xiyue hated that iron could not become steel and said: "You treat her as a sister, how can she ever treat you as a sister?" It is clear that you saw He Gongzi first, if you say that you robbed, she also robbed you. If she really thinks you are a sister, she shouldn't rob you of your karma? ”
Gu Chongyang hesitated for a moment: "It's not unreasonable for you to say that, it's just ......"
"Nothing, just that." Chai Xiyue said: "I know you are embarrassed, but as long as this matter is handed over to me, you don't need to come forward, we are sisters, I will definitely let you get your wish." ”
"Cousin Xiyue!" Gu Chongyang pretended to be panicked: "What if my uncle and grandmother find out?" ”
Chai Xiyue smiled gently, and her eyes were determined: "You are much more beautiful than Gu Chongzhu, how can Gongzi He give up pearls and marry Yumu?" When the time comes, Gongzi He will marry you wholeheartedly, even if Grandmother Uncle knows it, she will be helpless, it's not your fault, who made you beautiful and likable. ”
Gu Chongyang was finally persuaded by Chai Xiyue, and nodded trustingly: "Cousin Xiyue, my happiness will be handed over to you." ”
Chai Xiyue's eyes were full of pride, but her voice became more and more gentle: "Don't worry, I'll keep it and let your wishes come true." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, indescribably harmonious and affectionate.
After sending Chai Xiyue away, Gu Chongzhu came, she came to thank her: "Fourth sister, thank you for helping me just now, if you hadn't stopped Gu Chongzhen, I don't know what she was going to do." I just saw Chai Xiyue walk out of you, fourth sister, did she tell you something? You must not believe it, Chai Xiyue is an immature dog, no matter how good you treat her, she will wag her tail at you while biting you when you are not paying attention, you must guard against her. ”
Gu Chongzhu's changes are really big, and her opinion of Chai Xiyue is even more bloody, deep into the bone marrow.
Gu Chongyang couldn't help but look her up and down: "Second sister, you are really a different person, I don't know you anymore." ”
"Fourth sister, don't make fun of me." Gu Chongzhu said: "Actually, I haven't changed, I just realize how stupid I used to be." I knew I was wrong when my third sister married King Zhou, and then I learned a lot of rules from my grandmother and grandmother, and I was actually the same as before. If someone offends me, I will still not let her go as before, but now I won't take the initiative to hurt others, so don't think too well of me. Speaking of which, I still owe you a word of sorry, you forgave me for all the foolish things I did in the past. ”
Being able to say such a thing, Gu Chongyang had to be impressed: "It's good that you have changed like this, I didn't expect you to tell me what you thought in your heart." ”
"Isn't that because you're no threat to me?" Gu Chongzhu really hasn't changed much, although he has been angry and has a bad temper, he hasn't changed much inside: "In the past, I couldn't see others better than me, but now I just hope that everyone is better, after all, I can't write two Gu characters in one stroke." Do you know? I was at the door just now, and I met Chai Xiyue, and she hinted at me in and out of her words, you are interested in Gongzi He, fourth sister, is what Chai Xiyue said true? ”
Gu Chongyang glanced at her: "If you don't believe her, why do you bother to question me?" You actually believe her, don't you? ”
Gu Chongzhu couldn't help but bow his head: "You are more beautiful than me, and you are more pleasing to your uncle and grandmother than me, if you rob me, I will definitely not be able to rob you." Fourth sister, if you have an uncle and grandmother who love you, you will only marry high in the future, and your husband will never be worse than He Gongzi. Don't you rob me, okay? ”
Gu Chongyang asked, "Second sister, do you really like He Runnian?" ”
Gu Chongzhu nodded: "He is good-looking, personable, and very infatuated, and he never forgets his childhood sweetheart's ex-wife, he is really a very good person." ”
"But this is just the appearance, He Runnian is not as good as you see, and he is definitely not your lover. If you believe me, don't agree to this marriage. Gu Chongyang said: "I'm not afraid to sue you, it's not that I have thoughts about He Runnian, but Chai Xiyue has a crush on He Runnian, she wants to see our sisters compete with each other, so she can profit from it." I know you don't necessarily believe me, but you'll find out about it in a while. Anyway, you haven't decided to marry yet, so why don't you wait? ”
Gu Chongzhu hesitated for a long time and did not agree.
Gu Chongyang sighed, maybe in Gu Chongzhu's heart, he was the same as Chai Xiyue, he was a competitor who wanted to rob her of her good relationship.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Amin suddenly came in and said, "Miss, Second Miss, Miss Zhen is here." ”
Gu Chongzhu took the opportunity to say goodbye and met Gu Chongzhen at the door, the two snorted coldly and rolled their eyes at each other.
Gu Chongyang was a little unhappy about Gu Chongzhen being taken in by Ge Bilian and being in the same breath as Chai Xiyue, because those two could be regarded as her enemies.
I don't know what happened to Gu Chongzhen coming over at this time.
"Fourth sister, it can be regarded as giving me the opportunity to meet you alone." Gu Chongzhen took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and put them on the table: "I spent more than three hundred taels, and there are less than two hundred taels left." ”
Gu Chongzhen respectfully gave Gu Chongyang a big gift: "Thank you to the fourth sister for giving medicine and borrowing money, plus the previous life-saving grace and the righteousness of the surname, Gu Chongzhen has nothing to repay." In the future, as long as the fourth sister has a place for me, I will definitely go all out, and I will never say anything. ”
She has been away from the capital for nearly a year, and the little girls of the Gu family have given her too many surprises.
Gu Chongyang smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so polite, sit down and talk." ”
After sitting down, Gu Chongyang asked again: "Ge Bilian has never been pregnant, I want to come, you have succeeded." ”
"Yes. The fourth master was unkind to his father, and he killed my mother with a ruthless heart, and I had to recognize this father with a clear conscience in order to enter the Hou Mansion. Thanks to the fourth sister, I can see his true face clearly. Gu Chongzhen's voice tightened: "My mother is about to give birth in a month, and the doctor said that there is a mother who is very likely to give birth to a younger brother for me. ”
"But who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, he would be so ruthless that he could even abandon his own flesh and blood, causing my mother and brother to die tragically. He just relied on his youth to marry again and have children with other women. In that case, then I will let him taste that he will never be able to give birth to a son! Let him cut off his children and grandchildren, so that he can solve the hatred in my heart! ”
After Gu Chongzhen finished speaking, he looked up at Gu Chongyang: "If it weren't for the fourth sister who made that kind of medicine, how could I be so smooth, I will never forget your kindness." ”
"You don't have to thank me." Gu Chongyang said: "I made the medicine long before Ge Bilian entered the door, even if you don't come to me, I will do it myself." I think the same as you, if he wants to be in a dead end, he will never be able to give birth to a son. He is not worthy of a husband at all, nor is he worthy to be a father. ”
"So, it should be me who thank you." Gu Chongyang smiled slightly, with a kind look in his eyes.
Gu Chongzhen also showed a tacit smile.
After a while, she said: "You have to beware of the fourth lady, she let Chai Xiyue get close to you, she didn't have a good heart, she wanted to wait for you to fully believe in Chai Xiyue, and then find a chance to frame you." ”
