Mrs. Shen was concerned about her daughter, and when she heard Second Young Master Dou say that her daughter had now presided over the middle feed, she was happy for the eldest daughter, so it was no wonder that she did not return to her parents' house: "I see, during the New Year's holiday, everyone is busy, and the in-laws' wife is sick again. ”

At first glance, when he heard the name of his eldest cousin Shen Su'e, Gu Chongyang was a little surprised. In her previous life, she didn't remember whether she had met Cousin Su'e, she only knew that Cousin Su'e had died of illness. Uncle and aunt are always sad and sad when they mention Cousin Su'e. In this life, Cousin Su'e is still alive, can she prevent it from happening, and see what kind of disease Cousin Su'e has.

When Shen Suying heard that her sister was fine, she no longer paid attention to what they said, but pulled Gu Chongyang's sleeve and asked her to look to the right.

I saw Shen Rang blushing and talking to a young lady, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a jacket embroidered with plum blossoms, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, very gentle and lovely.

Not knowing what Shen Rang said, she lowered her head and smiled shyly.

Shen Rang scratched his head, and his face turned even redder.

It turned out to be Cousin Jean's outer chamber Su Xiuyue, but she didn't expect her and Cousin Jean to know each other so early.

This Su Xiuyue is not a good stubble, she is the daughter of the Su family, and the Su family has business dealings with the Shen family, but the business is far less big than that of the Shen family.

Later, the Shen family's business prospered and became richer and richer, but the Su family was not as good as day by day. Su Xiuyue somehow got involved with her cousin, and she also made her cousin-in-law angry and had a miscarriage, and this matter caused a storm in the city.

The uncle was so angry that he didn't care about it, and he didn't hesitate to chop off one of his little fingers for Nasu Xiuyue to enter the door. And after Su Xiuyue entered the door, she was not at ease, provoking her cousin and sister-in-law every day, and even slandering her aunt.

The Shen family was originally happy and happy, and they were in harmony, but they were disturbed by Su Xiuyue.

Gu Chongyang looked at Su Xiuyue's shy appearance, and his heart was full of coldness. She has always had zero tolerance for concubines. This Su Xiuyue resolutely could not enter the door of the Shen family.

Gu Chongyang thought like this, only to feel a burning gaze fall on her.

She turned around to look for the source of the sight, and saw her uncle, aunt, eldest cousin Shen Qian, and the second young master of the prefect's family standing there, she knew that the person who looked at her must be the second young master Dou, but when she went to look, the second young master Dou looked away and pretended to be nothing.

When she turned her face and stopped looking at Second Young Master Dou, her gaze fell on her again, like a shadow, which made her very angry.

Shen Suying leaned on Gu Chongyang's ear and asked her, "Cousin Chongyang, are you tired?" ”

After standing for so long, Gu Chongyang was really a little tired, and she nodded: "Why don't we go and sit in the carriage." ”

"No, you don't." Shen Suying cleared his throat and said loudly, "Second brother, come here." ”

Shen Rangzheng was chatting happily with his sweetheart, and when he was interrupted by his sister, his face was naturally full of displeasure, he frowned and turned his head and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Tut-tut!" Shen Suying smacked his lips and whispered to Gu Chongyang: "I saw it, I forgot my righteousness, I couldn't walk when I saw Su Xiuyue, and I didn't know what was good about Su Xiuyue, I had to let him not succeed." ”

Gu Chongyang hurriedly said: "Cousin Su Ying, I'll help you!" ”

Shen Suying was overjoyed: "Cousin Chongyang, you are really good, I know that I have not misjudged you." ”

She said loudly: "Second brother, Cousin Chongyang is tired, you go to the carriage, move two stools down, and let Cousin Chongyang rest." ”

This time, Shen Rang didn't reply and said, "Nonsense, it's clear that you're tired!" Cousin Chongyang won't be so eyeless. ”

"Jean cousin." Gu Chongyang said deliberately: "I'm really tired and want to sit down and rest." ”

Shen Suying said: "You heard it, Cousin Chongyang is really tired!" ”

Shen Rang said unhappily: "Why did you let me move?" Why don't you go? And what about the people in the family? ”

Shen Suying made up his mind to stir up his brother's good deeds, so he deliberately said: "Who swore to my mother yesterday that you would take care of Cousin Chongyang, how can you not talk without words?" When you went to the capital, who took care of you? Have you forgotten everything? Now if you are asked to move a stool, you will push back and see that I don't tell my parents. ”

Shen Rang was not afraid, and smiled indifferently: "Just go and see if my father and mother will scold me!" ”

Shen Suying ran to Shen Yucheng and Mrs. Shen's side, and sued with emotion.

Shen Rang is not worried at all, this sister always complains, so her father and mother will not listen to her.

Unexpectedly, this time he miscalculated, Shen Yucheng walked over with a cold face: "Brother Jean, what happened to you?" I didn't see your cousin Chongyang standing here, so why don't you move her a stool to sit on! You're such a big person, you don't know how to take care of your sisters. ”

In front of his sweetheart, being reprimanded by his father like this, Shen Rang's face was blue and white, and Shen Su glanced at him triumphantly, his smile was a little dazzling.

Shen had no choice but to run to the carriage and move two stools.

Shen Yucheng saw it and said, "It's pretty much the same. ”

As he spoke, he went to the side to talk to his eldest son Shen Qian and the second young master of the Dou family.

Gu Chongyang felt that the eyes of the second young master of the Dou family had never left him, and his disgust became stronger and stronger.

Shen Suying reached out to pick up the stool, but he didn't expect Shen Rang to snort, put the stool in front of Gu Chongyang and said, "Cousin, please take a seat." ”

Then he took another stool and sent it to Su Xiuyue with a smile on his face.

Su Xiuyue smiled shyly, took the stool and did not sit, but asked Shen Rang to sit, Shen Rang smiled, and his face was full of peach blossoms.

Shen Suying was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Look at the stupid appearance of the second brother, I'm afraid I will help you count the money if you are sold!" ”

"Cousin Su Ying, don't be angry!" Gu Chongyang said, pressed Shen Suying onto the stool, and then said to Shen: "Let my cousin, I'm tired, I bother you to move a stool for me." ”

Shen Rang turned around, and saw Gu Chongyang standing and Shen Suying sitting, the corners of his mouth twitched in anger. But he had no choice but to move the stool for Gu Chongyang, he handed the stool to Gu Chongyang, and then snorted angrily: "Shen Suying, I know that you are angry that I told my mother yesterday that you were going to run out secretly, yesterday I was for your good, you don't want to bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know good people." ”

"Humph!" Shen Suying raised his head: "The person who doesn't know the hearts of good people is you, what's so good about her Su Xiuyue, where can she compare to Cousin Rui, I really don't know if you are blind, you would like people like Su Xiuyue." It's also for your own good that I'm preventing you from having contact with her! ”

The words were not speculative for more than half a sentence, Shen Rang did not answer, and left angrily. When he got to Su Xiuyue's side, he smiled again.

Shen Suying was very angry, and only glared at the pair of young men and women, but there was nothing he could do.

Gu Chongyang looked at Shen Rang's appearance, and his face was not good-looking. It seems that my cousin has a deep love for Su Xiuyue.

When she came back from rebirth, she had to guard her uncle's family, and a woman like Su Xiuyue could never enter the door of the Shen family.

Gu Chongyang stood up, took Shen Suying's hand, walked to Shen Rang's side, and said softly: "Cousin, I'm a little thirsty, I'm tired of asking cousin, bring me a glass of water." ”

Shen Rang looked at Gu Chongyang with wide eyes, as if he didn't know her, he didn't expect that his sensible and polite cousin would mess around with his sister.

He glared at Shen Suying, feeling that this qiē was instigated by his sister.

Shen Suying clasped Gu Chongyang's hand and smiled proudly.

Shen Rang had no choice but to pour water.

Su Xiuyue stood up and spoke to Shen Suying: "Second sister of the Shen family, I don't know what kind of relatives this young lady is in your mansion?" ”

Shen Suying glanced at her and said, "It's my aunt's only daughter, the young lady from the Marquis Mansion of Qingyang in the capital, and it's not a concubine who can compare." ”

Shen Suying's words were very unpleasant, and if she were to be replaced, others would have been unable to stand it for a long time, but Su Xiuyue didn't seem to understand, not only was she not angry, but she smiled slightly, and introduced herself to Gu Chongyang: "It turned out to be Miss Gu, I have long heard that Mrs. Shen married to the Hou Mansion of Qingyang and gave birth to a pearl in her palm. My surname is Su, my name is Xiuyue, I am the eldest daughter in the family, and I am 14 years old this year. Miss Gu should be younger than me, so I will call you Sister Gu shyly. ”

This Su Xiuyue can bend and stretch, and her mouth is honey-bellied, and it is indeed not easy to deal with.

Gu Chongyang smiled slightly, but did not answer, looking a little arrogant.

Shen Su greeted her, and the hand holding Gu Chongyang was held tighter, she was happy that Gu Chongyang was standing on the same line as her.

Gu Chongyang didn't answer, and Su Xiuyue was not angry, but asked Gu Chongyang with a smile: "Sister Gu came to the capital, she shouldn't be familiar with Nanjing, right?" If you have time, you can go around Nanjing. Although Jinling City is not as good as the capital, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is different from that in the north, and Sister Gu can appreciate it. ”

As the so-called stretching out her hand and not hitting the smiling person, she said this, Gu Chongyang couldn't continue to put on a face, she nodded: "Thank you Miss Su for reminding me." ”

Shen Suying gritted his teeth in anger, and pulled Gu Chongyang to the side: "Cousin, why are you talking to Su Xiuyue, she is a person who has a lot of things on the surface, I don't know how annoying she is." ”

"I know, but you've seen the situation at the time, she kept talking to me, and it would be rude for me to ignore her." Gu Chongyang saw that Shen Suying's face was ugly, so he said: "You are too obvious like this, so my cousin will be unhappy, it's better to go around like this, let's go around elsewhere, my aunt will definitely be reluctant to let the two of us go out, and I will definitely ask my cousin to come with us." ”

In this way, it can not only keep Shen Rang away from Su Xiuyue, but also allow himself to escape from the scrutiny of the second son of the Dou family, which is really the best of both worlds.

Shen Suying's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "You still have an idea." ”

The two ran to Mrs. Shen's side and said that they wanted to go out, but Mrs. Shen knew that they were impatient to wait, so she ordered Shen to escort them elsewhere.

Although Shen Rang was reluctant, he had no choice but to be dragged away by Shen Suying.

When Su Xiuyue saw it, she was so angry that she secretly gritted her teeth, but she was helpless.

That night, the family sat around the same table and ate happily.

The Shen family is a merchant, and there are no rules as big as the high gate of the capital, so it is not taboo to "eat without saying anything, sleeping without speaking".

Shen Yucheng asked Gu Chongyang with a smile: "Uncle has been very busy for a while, I didn't care about talking to you, today I let my cousin and cousin Su Ying go out to play, are you happy?" ”

The expression was clearly that of a child.

"Happy." Gu Chongyang nodded and said: "The folk customs of Nanjing are very different from those in the capital, but they are very rich, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles. ”

"Uncle, when I went to soup soup today, I saw that our porridge shack was the same as other people's, and there was no special mark to distinguish it. I think that's bad. ”

Shen Yucheng originally listened to Gu Chongyang with a smile on his face, but then showed a somewhat serious look: "What's wrong?" ”

"The same soup kitchen, some people deliberately use moldy rice or secondary rice to cook porridge, and some porridge is even very thin, and a few grains of rice are seen in a bowl of porridge. Our Shen family's porridge is thick and good, and every time we start to put porridge, there is a long queue, which is much more lively than other homes. ”

"Although we don't ask others for soup porridge in return, we also hope that people can know that we are the Shen family's porridge shed. However, many people mention the Shen family's porridge shed and say that it is "the one with thicker porridge", which shows that those poor people can distinguish between good and bad, but they don't know the reputation of our Shen family. ”

Shen Yucheng listened and thought for a moment and said, "Chongyang has a point. ”

Seeing that his uncle no longer looked at himself with the eyes of a child, Gu Chongyang hurriedly said: "So I thought, it is better to make a mark on our porridge shed, write a few words on the Shen family's porridge shed, and then hang a couplet on the left and right of the porridge shed, and write: A porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and a wisp of perseverance is difficult." Then when the porridge was served, it was introduced, saying that this was the Shen family's porridge shed. You can also find a few small people with loud voices, saying that this rice is the rice of the Shen family's grain store, operating in good faith, and Tong Suo is not bullied. In this way, the name of our Shen family can be played out slowly. Although these poor people are at the bottom, they are kind-hearted, and with them speaking for the Shen family's grain store, the Shen family will definitely be able to occupy a place in the hearts of the people. ”

Shen Yucheng's face showed a look of emotion and pride: "I really didn't expect that you would be so smart in Chongyang, and you also went out to give porridge, not to mention Su Ying, even if your two cousins are not as good as you, you will never think of such a way." You are really a good niece of your uncle, like our Shen family, you are born to do business. ”

Listening to his uncle's praise, Gu Chongyang was surprised and delighted, "What does my uncle mean, is it to adopt my method?" ”

"Of course! Such a good propaganda method, how could my uncle not use it! You're doing a great job. Shen Yucheng said: "If you have any good ideas in the future, just tell Uncle Sù." Let your two cousins learn from you. ”

In fact, this method was not thought up by Gu Chongyang, and in a few years, the porridge shacks in the capital will use this method to advertise themselves.

I didn't expect my uncle to misunderstand that she came up with it, but Gu Chongyang didn't mean to correct it, because my uncle had already begun to pay attention to her opinion, if she said that she didn't think of it, my uncle would probably treat her as a child again.

"Uncle, I have such a good idea, how are you going to reward me?"

Shen Yucheng smiled: "You have a good idea with your uncle to make the Shen family's business better, and when you get married, your uncle will prepare a big dowry for you, how about it?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yucheng laughed.

Not to mention Shen Yucheng, it was Mrs. Shen, and the Shen family brothers and sisters also looked at Gu Chongyang with a smile.

Gu Chongyang had no choice but to pretend to be shy and bow her head, she had already thought about it, her mother left a rich dowry, which was enough for her to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. In that case, why should she marry? Wouldn't it be better to follow your uncle in business, help people heal, and then live freely for the rest of your life than to marry someone and look at a man's face.

The next day, Shen Yucheng arranged this method, and sure enough, it received extraordinary results.

Those poor people spread the word of mouth that Shen Jiashi's porridge was good, and the high-quality rice was used, and the chopsticks would not be poured □□ it. He also said that since the Shen family was willing to use such good rice to give porridge, the grain sold in the shop would not be bad, and the name of the Shen family's grain store would soon spread throughout Nanjing.

Some grain stores were originally shoddy, using spoiled rice to give porridge, and after seeing the Shen family doing this, they also hurried to learn from the Shen family, but it was too late, and the reputation of the Shen family had already been played.

After the Spring Festival, the Shen family's grain business was really booming, and the number of sales was more than 30% more than this time in previous years.

Shen Yucheng told the news to his family with a smile, and praised Gu Chongyang in front of everyone.

Gu Chongyang took the opportunity to mention to Shen Yucheng: "Uncle, since the grain business is so good this year, you might as well take advantage of the present and quickly let the guys go to the countryside to collect grain." ”

"Not so good." The eldest cousin, Shen Qian, said worriedly: "The new grain of the year was the best to sell, and the old grain could not be sold at a price. Moreover, food storage, insect and mildew prevention are costly, so I'd rather earn a little less than take such a big risk. ”

Cousin Qian is gentle and kind, and he is a little less motivated to do things, but he is the best candidate to keep his job, and his opinion is very important to his uncle.

Listening to his words, the uncle muttered: "Brother Qian'er is not unreasonable, but Chongyang is also reasonable. In this case, let's think of a compromise method, in previous years, we bought 3,000 catties of grain a year was enough to sell for a year, but this year I asked the guy to buy 2,000 catties more, for a total of 5,000 catties. ”

Shen Qian looked surprised: "Dad, will it be too much?" ”

But Gu Chongyang felt that it was too little.

Shen Yucheng thought for a while and said: "Although there are many more than in previous years, the business is good this year, and I think I won't lose money." ”

Shen Qian wanted to say more, but Shen Yucheng said: "That's it, this year's harvest of five thousand catties of new grain." ”

Gu Chongyang originally wanted to persuade his uncle to collect more, but after listening to his uncle's words, he knew that it was hopeless.

In Gu Chongyang's memory, due to the severe drought in the north, there was not enough food to eat, and it would not be long before the household department would send officials south to collect grain. If my uncle can stock up on more food at this time, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money in a few months.

But my uncle had already made up his mind, and it was useless to persuade him again.

For this matter, she thought about it for several days, but she couldn't think of a good way.

Shen Suying came, and she took a few posts with a spring breeze on her face: "Cousin Chongyang, Mrs. Prefect invited our family to go to Dou's house to enjoy Chunlan on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. My mother prepared new clothes for the two of us, and I specially sent them to you, do you like it or not? ”

Begonia red placket round neck gown, embroidered with peach blossoms wrapped around the collar, peach cloud satin skirt, very beautiful.

In fact, Gu Chongyang didn't want to go to Dou Zhifu's house, the last time she gave porridge, the disgusting eyes of the second young master of the Dou family made her very unhappy, but looking at Shen Suying's happy appearance, she didn't want to let her be disappointed, so she smiled and said: "This dress is so beautiful, thank you aunt." Cousin, what do your clothes look like? ”

"It's about the same as yours, you'll know when you see it!" Shen Suying said: "It's great that I finally have the opportunity to go out." If my mother hadn't asked me to dress up, I wouldn't want to dress up. ”

After turning the year, Shen Suying is already fifteen years old, and Gu Chongyang is also thirteen years old.

Fifteen years old can already be said to be pro.

This so-called flower-viewing banquet is actually a banquet for wives and girls to look at each other, Gu Chongyang looked at Shen Suying with an ignorant look, and couldn't help but smile.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Shen took Shen Qian, Shen Suying, and Gu Chongyang to Dou Zhifu's house.

Shen Suying was wearing a goose-yellow shirt and a light red skirt, not to mention makeup, and wearing more jewelry on her head than usual, pretty and gentle, which was exactly what a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in the mood for love should look like.

Seeing Gu Chongyang wearing a honey-colored embroidered grape-patterned silk jacket and an apricot yellow plain dress, Shen Suying jumped up and said, "Why don't you wear the new clothes that your mother made for you?" ”

Gu Chongyang glanced at Mrs. Shen and said with a smile: "I haven't worn this dress a few times, I'm afraid of the cold, I think the gown is a little thin, let's wear it after a few days when it's warm." ”

Shen Suying muttered: "I knew that I wouldn't wear this dress, my mother said that the headdress must match the clothes, so I wore this messy bead flower on my head, which is too cumbersome." ”

She muttered, and lifted the curtain to look out.

Gu Chongyang smiled at Mrs. Shen, and when he saw that Mrs. Shen's eyes were full of satisfaction, he couldn't help but move in his heart.

It seems that she guessed correctly, and her aunt did take Su Ying's cousin to see each other today. She is younger than Su Ying's cousin, but she is more beautiful than Su Ying's cousin.

She is dressed so elegantly today, and she does not steal the limelight from her cousin, and her aunt must be very happy.

Mrs. Shen saw that Gu Chongyang was deliberately dressed so plainly and lightly, and she was slightly distressed.

It's not that she deliberately wants her daughter to be in the limelight, it's just that Shen Suying is already fifteen, and Gu Chongyang is only thirteen. And Gu Chongyang is the young lady of the Qingyang Hou Mansion, and there are almost no people who can match her among the people who went today, although she is an uncle, she doesn't dare to say goodbye to Gu Chongyang indiscriminately.

didn't expect Gu Chongyang to be so sensible, instead of wearing the new clothes she had prepared, he came out in old clothes. This thoughtfulness and intelligence are really distressing.

Although she didn't deliberately put on makeup and dress up, she still pressed her daughter steadily, looking at her delicate face like a hibiscus with clear water, Mrs. Shen felt a little puzzled, such a beautiful little girl, why was the Hao family willing to quit her family? What an eye-catcher!

When they arrived at the prefect's house, the prefect's wife and the eldest young grandmother Shen Su'e greeted everyone in the Shen family, and Gu Chongyang also met his eldest cousin Shen Su'e. She looks very similar to her second cousin Shen Suying, and at first glance she knows that they are two sisters-in-law.

Since the two families are in-laws, they are more intimate and casual than others.

The prefect's wife is a dough-like person, who speaks softly, and knows at a glance that she is a temperless person.

Seeing Gu Chongyang, the prefect's wife flashed with surprise in her eyes, and she took down a bracelet in her hand and gave it to Gu Chongyang.

Gu Chongyang glanced at his aunt, and when he saw his aunt nodding, he accepted it.

Shen Ranglai took a look and was led by the little servant to another place. It seems that the men and women of this orchid banquet are separated, so that she doesn't have to worry about meeting the second young master of the Dou family, Gu Chongyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As time progressed, more and more wives and young ladies came to participate in the orchid banquet, and Gu Chongyang saw Su Xiuyue. She followed behind Mrs. Su, and her two sisters-in-law rolled their eyes at her.

When she saw Gu Chongyang, she wanted to step forward to say hello, but Gu Chongyang pretended not to see it and turned her face away.

Mrs. Shen greeted everyone familiarly, and Shen Suying didn't know where to run to see the excitement.

It is said that it is an orchid feast, but it is just a name, and there are not many people who really appreciate Chunlan.

This is exactly what Gu Chongyang wants, since no one appreciates it, then she just looks good at this orchid, and it is not a trip in vain.

The blooming orchids are fragrant, elegant and noble, different varieties, different colors of spring orchids have different forms, which is heartbreaking.

Gu Chongyang was admiring, and suddenly a little maid came over and said to Gu Chongyang: "May I ask if you are the cousin of the Shen family, Miss Gu from the capital?" ”

Gu Chongyang said: "Yes, is there something wrong?" ”

"Someone asked me to bring you a letter." The maid said, and stuffed a small note into Gu Chongyang's hand.

Gu Chongyang was about to ask who asked her to send it, but the little maid shuttled quickly like a fish, and disappeared into the crowd after a while.

Gu Chongyang looked left and right, and saw that no one saw it, so he walked to the side of the bamboo forest in the garden with a note and opened it.

"Soaring, graceful like a dragon, seeing a beautiful woman, thinking hard day and night. Gorgeous and graceful, it makes me forget to eat. I hope to give it for a while, and solve my lovesickness. Deep in the garden, next to the rockery. Looking forward to it, see you or leave. Dou Er's longing day and night, looking through the autumn water and waiting for the beauty. ”

Gu Chongyang was gone, and when he saw it, he gritted his teeth in anger.

There are such shameless people in this world! She immediately wanted to give the note to her aunt, and then ask her aunt to get justice for herself.

No way!

The second son of the Dou family is polite and polite on the outside, but he is so buoyant on the inside, looking at him so bold, maybe it's not the first time he has done this kind of thing! But whether it is an uncle or an aunt, he is very cordial when he talks to Dou Er, which shows that Dou Er is a pretend person on weekdays, at least he should have a good reputation outside.

If he publicized the matter, not to mention that Dou Er would not admit it at that time, maybe he would say that he deliberately seduced him. After the incident breaks out, will others believe that they are a person who has come all the way from the capital and knows nothing? Or will you choose a prefect who is polite on weekdays and knows how to advance and retreat?

The eldest cousin is the daughter-in-law of the Dou family and the daughter of the Shen family, and it must be very difficult to be sandwiched between her mother's family and her mother-in-law's family.

On the one hand, it is an in-law, and on the other hand, it is a niece, and the aunt must be jealous, and even hide the matter and choose to settle the matter. Then why do you want to make things public?

If my aunt wants the Dou family to give her an explanation in order to make the decision for herself, then she will have to tear her face with the Dou family, and it will be even more ugly at that time. Let's not talk about what will happen to my uncle, if I love myself like my uncle, I will not give up. As the saying goes, the county order of the house, the mansion Yin who destroyed the door, and the uncle and the merchant offended the Dou prefect, I am afraid it will not end well.

No matter what my uncle and aunt did, things were not the result I wanted.

Is that all? Isn't it cheaper for Dou Er?

She Gu Chongyang has grown so big, and it is the first time that she has been teased like this. If she chooses to swallow her anger this time, what about the next time? Will he feel that he is afraid to speak out and gain an inch?

If it weren't for her uncle, she could have gone back to the capital. But now that the matter of King Rong has not been resolved, she categorically cannot leave Nanjing. The Dou family and the uncle's family are in-laws, who knows what Dou Er will do in the future.

It's really neither left nor right.

Gu Chongyang clenched the note in his hand, and a fire broke out in his heart.

"Sister Gu, everyone is enjoying the flowers, what are you doing here alone?"

A woman's delicate voice suddenly came from behind him, Gu Chongyang turned around, and saw Su Xiuyue with a smile on her face, with a look of "I know you have done something unseemly" in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Su Xiuyue looked like she grabbed Gu Chongyang's handle: "What are you holding in your hand?" Isn't there something shady about it? ”

The cunning expression, the sinister eyes, and the appearance of watching the show are similar to the delicate, gentle and dignified appearance of the porridge shed a few days ago, and this is Su Xiuyue's true face in front of her.

The wind blew through the bamboo forest, rattling, and the wind of the New Year still carried a chill on the body.

Gu Chongyang suddenly had an idea in his heart.

She didn't retreat, but advanced, and said with a smile: "Miss Su, you really want to marry my second cousin Shen Rang, don't you?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Xiuyue was taken aback, and quickly looked behind her, seeing that she was still far away in the crowd, and she would never hear Gu Chongyang's words, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Gu Chongyang with jealousy: "Miss Gu, I don't know what you mean by this, do all the daughters in the capital like to talk nonsense with such a mouth?" ”

Although she buttoned Gu Chongyang with a big hat as soon as she came up, she did not deny it outright, which shows that Gu Chongyan did say her idea in one word.

Su Xiuyue's Taoism is far worse than Chai Xiyue.

Gu Chongyang was too lazy to talk to her, and said impatiently: "It turns out that you don't want to marry my cousin, that is, I guessed wrong, since this is the case, I will go to tell my aunt and cousin, saying that Miss Su has no intention of her cousin, and every qiē is just a cousin's own amorous unrequited love." ”

Su Xiuyue's heart was cold, and she looked at Gu Chongyang nervously: "Miss Gu, what do you mean by this?" ”

"That's what I just said." Gu Chongyang said: "Although I live in the Shen family, my uncle and aunt will still listen to what I say, so I will tell my aunt and uncle Miss Su's thoughts, and let my aunt and uncle discipline my cousin well, and I will not come to harass Miss Su in the future." ”

Su Xiuyue stood still, and was very hesitant for a while.

"I know Miss Su doesn't believe what I say, but Miss Su has no intention of treating my cousin, I, as a cousin, have tried my best, and I can't watch my cousin continue to have unrequited love alone."

If Gu Chongyang really said this to Mrs. Shen, for Gu Chongyang, there would be no loss, but for her Su Xiuyue, it would be tantamount to a blow that ruined her sex. She finally caught Shen Rang's heart, in case she was really disturbed by Gu Chongyang, she really had no place to cry.

The stakes were too great for her to bet on.

"Miss Gu, of course I believe you." Su Xiuyue hurriedly blocked Gu Chongyang's way.

Gu Chongyang raised his eyebrows, revealing a little inquiry.

Now that I have been soft, I don't need to pretend to be tall anymore, Su Xiuyue said with red eyes: "I really want to marry into the Shen family, I am just a concubine at home, and my mother-in-law looks at me like a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and I can't get rid of it quickly." I can only rely on myself for marriage. I know that I am very shameless in doing this, but because I am Miss Gu, I can't be ashamed. Please also ask Miss Gu to raise her noble hand for the sake of us all women. ”

It's really humiliating and pitying, but it's a pity that Gu Chongyang doesn't eat her.

"But the Su family is just a small merchant who has just risen, although business has been booming in the past two years, it is far worse than the Shen family. And you're just a concubine, and your identity isn't worthy of your cousin at all. Moreover, my aunt's favorite daughter-in-law is her niece. In any way, if you want to marry your cousin, it's wishful thinking. ”

Damn it!

Su Xiuyue scolded in her heart, but her teeth were clenched, she said everything she wanted to do, she even had to force herself, this Gu Chongyang was simply too deceitful! If she had known this, she should have turned around and left, ignoring her. But now, she had to bow her head.

Su Xiuyue bit her lip and said with a flushed face: "I know that my identity is not worthy of the second son of the Shen family, so I naturally dare not think about the position of the wife, if I can be a concubine, Xiuyue is also willing." ”

Speaking of the back, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she wanted to cry because of embarrassment, which was very pitiful.

Gu Chongyang's eyes flashed, and he sneered in his heart, what he was waiting for was your words.

"You want to be a concubine, but you have to see if my uncle and aunt agree!" Gu Chongyang said mercilessly: "The Shen family is innocent, and a man can only take a concubine if he has no children at forty. Let's not talk about making my cousin healthy, and I will definitely have children soon after getting married. Even if my cousin is childless, it will be more than 20 years later, Miss Su, can you wait? ”

Su Xiuyue Huo Ran raised her head, the shame and indignation on her face receded cleanly, and she glared at Gu Chongyang with hatred: "Miss Gu, what do you mean by this?" Trick me? ”

"Miss Su, you are wrong, I am not playing with you, but helping you." Gu Chongyang approached, stuffed the note into Su Xiuyue's hand, and said in a low voice: "It's also for concubines, whether it's for the young master of the Shen family, who has an innocent family style and doesn't like concubines, or for the second son of the Nanjing prefect's family as a concubine, which do you think is more promising?" ”

Su Xiuyue's face was full of shock, her heart was pounding, and she opened the note that Gu Chongyang gave her.

Her face showed a little ecstasy, this is indeed the handwriting of the second son of the prefect, he likes to chant the wind and the moon, and the few poems he made are very popular, and Su Xiuyue has also seen it.

But such a good thing, Gu Chongyang will give it to himself?

Su Xiuyue looked at Gu Chongyang in disbelief.

Gu Chongyang didn't know what she was thinking, she couldn't help but mock: "I'm also the daughter of the Hou Mansion, what is a prefect's son, you can't help but underestimate me." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Xiuyue put away her suspicious look, and replaced it with a sad look: "Miss Gu, what I like in my heart is actually Shen Ergongzi, how do you let me give up the next ......?"

She wanted to cry, pretending to make Gu Chongyang tired, and she unceremoniously interrupted Su Xiuyue's words: "Okay, it's come to this point, we know it, don't pretend." Don't miss the time again, you hurry up. I'll lead people later, try to make things bigger, help you, and when the time comes, you can also show a good attitude. Since you have the prefect's son, stay away from your cousin, otherwise, I can help you today, and I can ruin you later! ”

"Yes." Su Xiuyue held the note, as if holding a life and death sign that decided her fate, and resolutely walked towards the rockery.
