Chapter 24: Dismount

When the second lady Gu Chongzhu heard this, her arrogance immediately became much shorter, but the look on her face was very unwilling.

"You're lucky today, but you won't have that good luck next time."

She let go of her hand, and a pair of eyes first glared at Gu Chongyang viciously, and then at Gu Chongzhi: "You guys are against me, let's see!" ”

"Fourth sister, are you okay?" The eldest lady Gu Chonghua stroked Gu Chongyang's hair and comforted him softly: "Your second sister is spoiled, in fact, she has no bad intentions, don't be angry." Big sister apologizes to you on her behalf. ”

Gu Chongyang was indeed very angry, but she knew that now was not the time to turn her face. As soon as she came back, she provoked an incident, and the old lady didn't like herself, so she would definitely make a fuss about it.

Besides, it's the second sister who provokes her, and it has nothing to do with the big sister.

She is not so confused that she does not distinguish between right and wrong.

Gu Chongyang smiled slightly: "Big sister, second sister is playing with me." ”

Gu Chonghua didn't expect that Gu Chongyang not only didn't cry to sue, but in turn comforted herself, she couldn't help but think a little higher about this youngest sister.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the eldest maid beside Mrs. Ge walked in: "Fourth Miss, Fourth Lady is going back to the room, ask if you want to go back?" ”

"Go back." Gu Chongyang stood up and said, "Big sister, second sister, third sister, I'll go back first." Let's play together again tomorrow. ”

With that, she walked out.

As soon as she walked on her front foot, she heard a crisp slap. This was followed by a rapid scolding and a very suppressed cry.

Gu Chongyang paused, wanting to look back, but he still held back.

Gu Chongyang returned to Rongdong Courtyard with his mother. This is the courtyard where they used to live.

When the fourth master went to Guichi County three years ago to take office, he didn't take anything from home. The dowry and other belongings of the fourth lady Shen were left at home.

Originally, there were people left to watch the house, and although they didn't live there, they cleaned it every day. So, they're back, but it's okay to clean up a bit.

After the girl of the Gu family is five years old, she will live alone. Gu Chongyang is no exception, the Begonia Courtyard where she lives is next door to the Sifang Rongdong Courtyard.

This is a little different from Gu Chongyang's memory.

In the previous life, when they came back, they lived in a courtyard arranged by their aunt instead of the original courtyard. Because of the arrangement of a yard for them, the old lady was very unhappy. Gu Chongyang remembers this matter very clearly.

What has changed?

But the changes are all good. It seems that she is reborn this time, and God must want her to live a good life.

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Chongyang's heart was full of expectations for the future. This afternoon's small fight with her second sister Gu Chongzhu is nothing in her heart.

However, she promised her third sister Gu Chongzhi to choose another gift for her.

Gu Chongyang thought about it for a while, then took out a pair of skein silver bracelets from the cage, and then personally sent them to the third lady Gu Chongzhi.

The third lady Zhi lives in the lilac courtyard, and there is a courtyard between the eldest lady and the second lady.

Gu Chongyang passed by the eldest lady Gu Chonghua's Lanting Courtyard on the way, and heard the pleasant sound of the piano coming from inside, she stood still and listened to it once, and found that the eldest lady played the piano very well, and it was definitely not something that could be practiced overnight, she must have put a lot of effort into it.

This big sister, who practices the piano and paints, recites poetry, is all refined, and is a well-deserved talented woman. She is like the bright moon in the sky, which will line the people around her into dim stars.

Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Gu Chongyang is very envious of such a girl. The title of straw bale beauty in the previous life made her ridiculed and suffered. In this life, even if she can't become a talented woman, she must not be worse than others, and she doesn't want the hat of "straw bag beauty" anymore.

After passing the Fuhui Courtyard where the second lady Gu Chongzhu lived, I arrived at the courtyard of the third lady Gu Chongzhi.

Gu Chongyang's arrival surprised everyone in the Lilac Courtyard.

The maid said that the third lady, Gu Chongzhi, went to greet the second lady and had not come back yet.

Gu Chongyang listened, didn't continue to wait, put down the bracelet and let the maid pass it to the third lady Gu Chongzhi, and then left.

*************

The next day, Gu Chongyang followed his father and mother to Anrong Courtyard to greet Mrs. Ge.

Mrs. Ge was wearing a stone blue jacket, a dark green embroidered crane longevity turtle age gown, her gray hair was neatly combed, and she wore a red gold Xichi hairpin on her head.

She sat on the big kang by the window in the living room, twisting the Buddhist beads in her hand, waiting for her children and grandchildren to come and greet her.

Hearing that the fourth master and the fourth lady were here with the fourth lady, she frowned, showing a displeased look, and the Buddhist beads in her hand couldn't help but pause.

However, when Gu Chongyang and the fourth master and the fourth lady walked in, her face was as usual, and even with a somewhat warm look, she couldn't see her love just now.

"You've had a hard time, and now that you're home, it's time to get some rest." Old Madam Ge said kindly like a very considerate old feudal monarch: "Why did you come so early? Your sister-in-law and sister-in-law usually arrive a little later, so you don't have to come so early in the future, and you're tired carefully. ”

The father was a little nervous when he heard this, and glanced up at his mother.

"The daughter-in-law has been out all the time, unable to serve the old lady, and feels guilty day and night. Now that he has returned, he naturally has to serve the old lady as soon as possible. The mother bowed her head slightly, and her expression was very deferential: "The old lady loves us, and we should be more filial to the old lady." ”

Old Mrs. Ge originally wanted to accuse Sifang of coming too early, but she didn't expect to be pushed away by her daughter-in-law Shen to avoid it.

When she thought of the fourth child, a cheap breed, who actually challenged her authority and repeatedly wanted to turn the sky upside down, her heart was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

The fourth child was gone, but he married a wealthy daughter-in-law, which added a lot of help to him.

On the one hand, in the name of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, on the other hand, he took a lot of money to dredge, isn't this career more and more smooth?

As long as I live, the slut and her slut will never think of a bright day.

Old Madam Ge snorted coldly in her heart, but her face remained silent: "You are filial, I know it in my heart. ”

After speaking, her eyes fell on Gu Chongyang's face, and then moved to the face of the fourth lady: "Old fourth daughter-in-law, the fourth girl should be ten years old, right?" ”

As soon as these words fell, not only the fourth lady, but also Gu Chongyang's heart.

"Yes. The old lady has a good memory. The mother folded her spirit and responded carefully: "The ninth day of this month has just passed the tenth birthday. ”

Old Madam Ge's face fell: "I won't say it before, this time you have been away from Beijing for three years, and you haven't even added a child to the old fourth room." Shen, how did you become a housewife? ”

In the last sentence, the tone has become very harsh.

Before her mother could speak, she said again: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest." Shen, you have been married to our Gu family for more than ten years, and the fourth master treats you well, how can you let the fourth master lose his heir? ”

This is a heavy statement, and it is undoubtedly blaming the mother.

When the mother heard this, her face changed greatly, and she quickly knelt down: "Old lady, where to start with this, my daughter-in-law never dared to have such a thought." ”

The mother knelt down, and Gu Chongyang, as the mother's daughter, naturally did not dare to sit. She immediately knelt down.

Old Madam Ge's displeased scolding voice came from her head: "Mama Su, don't you take the fourth lady down quickly!" ”

"Yes." Mama Su came over, took Gu Chongyang's hand, and coaxed in a low voice: "Fourth Miss, the old lady has something to say to the fourth master and the fourth lady, let's go to the next room to play, okay?" ”

Not good! The old lady didn't have anything to say to her father and mother, she was just looking for trouble, and she wanted to embarrass her mother.

But her mother shook her head at herself, motioning for her to listen to Mama Su's words.

Gu Chongyang didn't want her mother to be so uncomfortable, but she knew that she was just a child now, and she had no room to speak by herself at the moment.

If she is disobedient, the old lady will say that she has no manners, that her mother does not teach her daughter, and that her mother is not worthy of being her mother......

Gu Chongyang knows all this.

In the last life, after the death of his mother, he was framed by his stepmother and got into trouble, and others would say that he was spoiled by his mother and had no rules. My mother is dead, and I have to be blamed like that.

Gu Chongyang took a deep breath, suppressed the sourness in his heart, and took the initiative to walk away.

She didn't go far, but walked to the next wing that was separated by a wall.

She stood at the door of the wing, lifted the soft curtain of flowers, and peeked over there.

Mama Su pulled down her face to stop her: "Fourth Miss, don't do this." You are a big girl, you should know to listen to your elders and not act without permission. ”

"Mama!" Gu Chongyang glared at him with a knife, and his words were very unkind: "The old lady only said that she would let me leave that room, but she didn't say that I couldn't listen or watch, let alone restrict my freedom!" ”

Mama Su choked, and her face fell. She was the right-hand man of Old Madam Ge's side, and no one had ever dared to talk to her like that.

The little maid in the room was so frightened that she buried her head in her chest and pretended not to hear.

Seeing that Mama Su was unhappy, Gu Chongyang smiled coldly: "What? Say two words to you, Mama, you will be unhappy? No matter how much you serve by the old lady's side, you are just a subordinate. This ritual and humility will never be crossed! ”

When Mama Su heard this, she left angrily.

Gu Chongyang snorted coldly, feeling a lot more comfortable in his heart.

She can't do anything with the old lady, it doesn't mean that she has to be angry with the slave.

She knew that Mama Su was the first person next to the old lady, and the so-called dog beating also depends on the owner, and she should slap her up, so that she can please her.

But as long as she thought that her father and mother were still kneeling outside, she could not speak to the people around the old lady with a pleasant face.

The reason why she dared to talk to Mama Su so unceremoniously was because she dared to conclude that no matter how much Mama Su was favored, she would not dare to cross the dignity of the master and servant in the open.

Mama Su left, and Gu Chongyang looked at the little maid in the room with a smile: "You want to stop me too?" ”

The little maid's head shook like a rattle: "No, the slave doesn't dare." ”

Gu Chongyang got a satisfactory answer, and then looked outside again.
