Chapter 47: Defeat

Chai Xiyue said: "Fourth cousin, you really can't bear me, and I really can't bear you." You'll let me stay and keep you company, okay? ”

Her eyes looked at Gu Chongyang without blinking, just waiting for her to nod.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chongyang shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Why not?" Chai Xiyue didn't expect Gu Chongyang to disagree, because she was too surprised that her voice was a little sharp.

"Cousin Xiyue, do you really want to stay in the mansion and don't want to go back at all?"

Chai Xiyue swore and said: "Of course I don't want to go back, what's so good about Hubei?" Nothing, and most importantly, without your bosom sisters. Fourth cousin, I really don't want to go back at all, can you help me intercede with the eldest lady? ”

"Cousin Xiyue, your father is seriously ill, aren't you worried at all?" Gu Chongyang was surprised: "I thought you couldn't wait to go back to serve the sick?" I didn't expect that I didn't want to go back at all, but it was not at all the same as I thought. ”

Gu Chongyang's words were seven points of surprise and three points of sarcasm, why couldn't Chai Xiyue hear it?

Since the news of her father's illness came, her eyes were full of unwillingness to leave the Hou Mansion, and she was thinking about how to stay in the Hou Mansion almost every moment.

As for how sick her father was, she didn't think about it at all.

The world is big, filial piety is the greatest, and I don't worry at all when my father is sick, I just want to stay in the Hou Mansion, which can't be explained.

Gu Chongyang's words were like a slap in the face, slamming them in her face, exposing the selfish little calculation in her heart.

Shame and shame were intertwined, and her face turned red for a moment.

"Fourth cousin, you misunderstood me." Chai Xiyue stumbled and said: "I'm actually very worried about my father in my heart, but my father is just a little sick, and it doesn't help if I'm worried." Besides, I'm not a doctor, and even if I go back, I won't be able to help my father heal. ”

Her father was already sick, and she was helpless, and she was not the one who caused her father's illness. Her father has no ability, and even taking her with her has to suffer, and it's good that she doesn't complain about her father. Now that my father is sick, I can just have my mother and brother go back.

One of them is the father's original match, and the other is the father's eldest son, and they should be in front of them to bear something.

As for herself, she is just a daughter, and there is really only so much she can do. Besides, the daughter who marries out is the water that is spilled, and the daughter is not a relative. Although he didn't get married, he won't be able to live for a few years.

Since sooner or later I will be from someone else's family, it is better to treat my mother's family as a relative now.

Since it's a relative, it's easy to do. She stayed in the Hou Mansion for her future future. I believe that individuals can distinguish between the future and relatives.

The more she thought about it, the more justified she felt, and even resented her father, not only failed to provide her with any help, but also dragged her down, and it was really undeserved to be sick at this juncture.

She squeezed out an embarrassed smile: "Fourth cousin, I really want to be with you guys. ”

Gu Chongyang smiled slightly: "Since that's the case, then I'll help my cousin." ”

"Really?" As soon as Chai Xiyue thought that she had the opportunity to stay in the Hou Mansion, the embarrassment just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, she rubbed her hands excitedly, and looked at Gu Chongyang with a blushing face: "Fourth cousin, you didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

"What did I lie to you." Gu Chongyang said: "I'll go and tell my aunt." However, I don't know if my aunt will listen to me. ”

Chai Xiyue was very excited: "As long as you tell the eldest lady that you really want me to stay, such a reasonable person as the eldest lady will definitely agree." ”

Watching Gu Chongyang take the maid obediently to the Yichun Courtyard where the eldest lady lived, Chai Xiyue's eyes flashed with pride.

She has been going to greet the eldest lady every day recently, and the eldest lady is very satisfied with her, full of praise, saying that she is beautiful and sensible.

The eldest lady likes her so much, she must want her to stay, but there is no excuse. Now that Gu Chongyang is gone, the eldest lady has a reason and will definitely leave her behind.

The more Chai Xiyue thought about it, the happier she became.

But what she didn't expect was that the eldest lady didn't say anything to keep her at all. Not only that, some people in the Hou Mansion began to say that she loved vanity, had a cold nature, didn't care about her father at all, didn't want to go back to serve the sick, and just wanted to stay in the capital to enjoy happiness......

Rumors spread, and even the maid's eyes changed when she looked at her, and when she turned around, she muttered in a low voice, saying that she was delusional and an unfilial daughter.

Chai Xiyue trembled with anger, but she also knew that in this case, she couldn't continue to stay in the Qingyang Marquis Mansion no matter what, otherwise wouldn't it be true to the words of those people.

Although she was extremely unwilling, she finally followed her mother back to Hubei.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the first month of November, and Mrs. Lu's facial paralysis had completely recovered, and she did not have to hide indoors, and she could finally go out.

Because Gu Chongyang took into account his mother's thoughts, Mrs. Lu did not come to the door to thank her in person, but posted a post to invite Gu Chongyang to go to Tantuo Temple on the seventh day of the 11th month to offer incense. Gu Chongyang said that it was inconvenient for him, so he politely refused, and said that he would wait for a few days before inviting Mrs. Lu.

She had to stay by her mother's side, and only then could she rest assured.

Like in the previous life, on the eighth day of the first day of November, the eldest lady Hao's mother, Mrs. Linjianghou, celebrated her birthday. Because the girls in the family were getting older, Mrs. Ge asked the eldest lady Hao to bring all the four girls in the family over.

Gu Chongyang didn't want to go, and she couldn't go, she was afraid that once she left her mother, the tragedy of the previous life would be repeated.

In the last life, it was also the eighth day of the first month of November, she followed a group of sisters and aunts to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion to congratulate Mrs. Linjiang Marquis on her birthday. When she returned home in the evening, what awaited her was not her mother's greeting, but the dazzling white flags, the gloomy mourning hall, and her mother's cold coffin.

She didn't even get to see her mother for the last time.

She couldn't believe or want to believe that her mother was dead, but her father told her with red eyes that her mother's was indeed gone.

Since then, her happy childhood has ended. She became the eldest daughter of a widow. Before the mother's annual sacrifice day arrived, my father married Ge Bilian, the niece of Mrs. Ge Lao, and entered the door. Her life is getting worse and worse, her father is indifferent to her, cold-eyed, and her stepmother beats and scolds her, and abuses her to the extreme.

Later, she went to her uncle's house, and only a few years of comfortable life.

But with the fall of the puppet emperor and the exile of her uncle's family, her life became difficult. In the end, her uncle was sentenced to beheading, and she also drank poison......

Thinking of the past scenes, she couldn't help but feel heartache. In the previous life, she didn't know anything, she only knew that she wanted to please He Runnian, and she only knew that she was hiding in the Grange. In this life, she has insight into opportunities, and she can no longer live in a messy life like in the previous life.

She cured her mother's illness, and it was a good start. But she wasn't sure she would be able to turn the situation around and change her mother's longevity.

I'm not sure, but I have to give it a go.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the first day of November, the eldest lady Hao sent someone to send clothes and jewelry to the young ladies in several rooms.

At her mother-in-law's house, she wants to fight for her mother's family. In my mother's house, I also have to fight for my mother-in-law's family.

The eldest lady Hao is well aware of this truth.

Tomorrow her mother will have her birthday, and she, as a married daughter, must be there, not only to go, but also to dress up beautifully.

There are also several girls of the Gu family, who have to clean up beautifully, and they must not lose the face of the Gu family.

As long as she can add glory to her face, the eldest lady is not stingy with silver. However, the three young ladies are just dressed beautifully, and the only one who can really stand out is her daughter Gu Chonghua.

Last time Mrs. Ge had a big birthday, she originally wanted her daughter to show off her piano skills and make a splash. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu suddenly had a facial paralysis attack, the birthday banquet was in a mess, and one of Gu Chonghua's songs was interrupted, so she could only end hastily. This upset her.

This time, no matter what, I want my daughter to be in the limelight and make a name for herself as a talented woman. Only in this way can you get the qualification for the examination of Ruizhu Academy.

Like the imperial examination, Ruizhu Academy also has an entrance examination every three years. Those who pass the guò exam can enter the Ruizhu Academy to study.

There are so many famous ladies in the capital, but only thirty people are admitted to the Ciruizhu Academy. Only the girls who enter Ruizhu Academy can be regarded as real talented girls.

Even the queen mother and the princesses of several princes are from Ruizhu Academy.

Her daughter, who is going to have a great career in the future, must go to Ruizhu Academy.

This qiē has to start tomorrow, so tomorrow at the birthday banquet, Gu Chonghua must be foolproof and make a blockbuster, and he must not go on any business trips.

Although the maid had repeatedly reported that the eldest lady Gu Chonghua had been ready, she still decided to go over in person.

But at this moment, a little maid hurriedly walked in: "Big lady, Mama Wu next to the fourth lady is here, saying that there is something important to report." ”

The eldest lady frowned when she heard this, and she was a little unhappy in her heart: "Let people come in." ”

After Mama Wu walked in, her face returned to normal: "Mama Wu, what's wrong?" ”

After Mama Wu saluted, she said worriedly: "Big lady, the fourth lady is unwell, and she suddenly vomits and diarrhea, and the fourth lady of our family asked me to come to you to ask for a doctor with the name card in the house." ”
