142. Chapter 142
After solving a matter of concern, Gu Chongyang went back to the room and fell asleep, but she had a good night's sleep, she didn't even have a dream, and Danxin woke her up in the morning.
It's already dawn outside.
Gu Chongyang hurriedly got dressed, and Dan Xin said: "Miss, don't worry, Mama Yu beside Madame has come here, saying that there is nothing to do on the boat, so don't get up in a hurry, just sleep well." ”
"People are polite, why do you take it seriously." Gu Chongyang did not slow down because of Danxin's words, but faster. She has been apprenticed to Mrs. Baozhen for a few months, and she only knows that this master is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although he is kind, but like Wang Jiulang, he is very proud in his bones, and he will never take the initiative to put down his body and care about others.
Therefore, when she went to see Mrs. Baozhen, she was very embarrassed, and apologized again and again as soon as she entered the door.
After all, he was a guest, and it was rude to get up so late.
Mrs. Baozhen was not angry, and said softly: "I also had a sleepless night last night, and I didn't close my eyes for a while until the second half of the night. ”
Mrs. Baozhen still had a tired look on her face, it was true that she didn't sleep well last night, but her mood was much calmer, and her eyes looked at Gu Chongyang a little closer than before.
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Chongyang's heart.
"Jiurou is still in the future, let's wait for a while." Mrs. Baozhen gave Mama Yu a look, and Mama Yu quickly stepped back and thoughtfully closed the door from the outside.
Mrs. Baozhen pointed to the position next to her and asked Gu Chongyang to sit beside her.
Mrs. Baozhen looks like this, and she obviously has something to say to her. Gu Chongyang didn't dare to take it lightly, and sat down next to Mrs. Baozhen as he said.
Mrs. Baozhen took her hand affectionately, and did not speak, but stared at her face.
The black and white apricot eyes are shining, the beautiful lips are as delicate and bright as flower petals, the snow-white skin is like the best mutton fat jade, and the black hair makes her facial features delicate and bright and moving.
Dan lips and bright teeth, bright eyes, as gorgeous as a peach blooming in March; No powder, no makeup and jade skin, and there are quiet and elegant lotus-like flowers.
It seems to be more bright and graceful than when we first met half a year ago, and she looks like a big girl.
It's no wonder that Jiulang will be tempted, even if she sees it, she can't take her eyes off it.
Since she was thirteen years old, she has brought home many famous ladies, and every time she breaks up. Fortunately, the Wang family has a rich background, and Jiulang is even more talented, not how cold he is, the little girls still rush to Jiulang one after another.
Now Jiulang is twenty-one years old, and the ladies he has seen have given birth to several children, and he is still alone. She was really worried that he would hate her for the rest of her life and be alone for the rest of her life.
I never expected that this time I came to Nanjing, so that Jiulang met such a little girl. Although Xiao is a little smaller, he is better than having a lively temperament, being beautiful, and having medical skills, which is a perfect match with Jiulang. As long as Jiuro likes it, it's the best.
The softer Mrs. Baozhen's eyes became, the more she looked at them, the more satisfied she became: "You are thirteen years old this year, right?" ”
The appearance of Mrs. Baozhen made her a little nervous, and her eyes were like looking at a cargo.
Gu Chongyang waved the slightest strangeness in his heart and said, "Yes, sir." ”
In a few days, it will be her thirteenth birthday.
Mrs. Baozhen pursed her lips and smiled, her tired face was shining, and her indescribable elegance was moving: "I saw it all last night." ”
Gu Chongyang was even more confused: "Sir, what do you see?" Could it be that something special happened last night? ”
Except that she and Kurou chatted on the board for a while, there was nothing else.
Mrs. Baozhen couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that Chongyang had no intention of Jiulang?
She carefully looked at Gu Chongyang's expression, and saw that her attitude was calm, her eyes were clear, and she didn't dodge, and she was by no means the shy appearance that a girl in love should have.
She couldn't help but be anxious, it seemed that it was Jiulang who shaved his head and the burden was hot. How good is that?
Mama Yu's cordial and respectful voice suddenly came from the door: "The ninth master is here, Madame has already gotten up, and she is talking to Miss Gu." ”
Mrs. Baozhen had to stop talking, and patted Gu Chongyang's hand with some regret: "Let's eat first." ”
Wang Jiulang walked in, his eyes swept around the room, and finally landed on Gu Chongyang.
She was wearing a goose-yellow cardigan, and she was very delicate. The eyelids were slightly swollen, maybe they were reluctant to cry secretly after leaving Nanjing at first glance.
Suddenly, he felt a hot gaze staring at him, turned his head to look, and saw that it was Mrs. Huzhen, and the mother and son touched their eyes slightly, and quickly moved away.
Mrs. Baozhen knew that her son had not forgiven herself, her heart was sour, and she almost burst into tears, and said forcefully: "Mama Yu, let's set the meal." ”
When it was time to eat, seeing Wang Jiulang and Gu Chongyang sitting opposite each other, the indescribable harmony was harmonious, and the sourness in his heart was quickly replaced by happiness.
What does it matter if Jiulang doesn't forgive her, as long as he is willing to marry a wife and have children like a normal person, and can live a peaceful and happy life like an ordinary man, she will die immediately, and she will be able to turn a blind eye.
In the past, she did something wrong, which made her regret it for the rest of her life, and she was destined to spend all the rest of her life to repent.
Jiulang finally has a favorite girl, she has to help him no matter what, and she has to make this little girl like Jiulang no matter what. Being able to connect with your sweetheart is the greatest happiness in the world.
The boat was boring, and Gu Chongyang had a lot of time to calm down and study with Mrs. Baozhen. Ten days is not long, it is not short, and getting along with each other every day, Wang Jiulang's attitude towards Mrs. Baozhen is still as indifferent as ever. But seeing her son every day, Mrs. Baozhen already feels very satisfied.
By mid-September, their ship had finally disembarked in Tongzhou, and they could reach the capital by taking another half-day carriage.
The people of the Wang family escorted Mrs. Baozhen and Gu Chongyang towards the shore, and not far away, the carriage that Wang Jiulang had arranged was already waiting for everyone.
If you have been boating for too long, your feet will fall to the ground, and you will feel steady. The autumn breeze brings the dampness of the river to the face, which makes people feel refreshed.
At this moment, Gu Chongyang suddenly felt that she was not as reluctant as she was at the beginning when she returned to the capital. At least she is now raised under the name of Mrs. Cui, and she still has Mrs. Baozhen as a teacher, and it is not so easy for others to bully her.
And Wang Jiulang, Gu Chongyang couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, his indifferent expression, and his jade-like face made her trust. Although he didn't say it, she was sure that if she was in danger, he would definitely help her, and would never sit idly by.
She was full of confidence.
When they arrived at the Wang family's carriage, a person suddenly walked over.
Gu Chongyang looked up and couldn't help but be stunned, it was Hao Shaoyang, he was wearing black arrow sleeves, much more mature than last year, his eyes passed through others and fell on her face, without blinking.
Looking at each other, the longing and joy in his eyes were so obvious, and there was even a faint watery light.
His eyes were very hot, and although he didn't say a word, it seemed that he had already said a thousand words, all of which were missing her.
I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Cousin Chongyang is as beautiful as before, no, she is even more beautiful than before. She has grown a lot taller, her figure has a girlish curve, and her whole person is more bright and beautiful.
Gu Chongyang's heart couldn't help but tighten, the sweet joy and deep pain in the past all came to her heart in an instant, sweet and sour, her heart felt like she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and she couldn't tell what it was like.
She thought that when she and Hao Shaoyang never saw each other again, she didn't know what to say at all when they met at this moment.
After looking at each other for a moment, Gu Chongyang felt that her eyes were sour, and she suddenly lowered her head and stopped looking at him.
The past has become a cloud, he is already someone else's husband, and he has nothing to do with her, so they should never get along with each other.
Hao Shaoyang suddenly took a few steps forward, and his voice contained infinite joy: "Cousin Chongyang, you are finally back, I have been waiting here for several days, and I don't even dare to go home, for fear of missing your traces." Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and I waited for you. How are you doing these few months? ”
Cousin Chongyang still has affection for him, which can be known from the way she looked at him just now. Since beating her and leaving, there is not a day that he has not lived in the pain of longing and regret, and he can't forget her. He thought she hated him to death, but he didn't expect her to forget him, this is really the most beautiful thing in the world.
Hao Shaoyang felt that he was alive again, and he had the meaning of living again.
His joy and enthusiasm were undisguised, but Gu Chongyang lowered his head, avoided his fiery eyes, and said calmly: "Thank you Hao Gongzi for remembering, I'm fine." ”
There is no emotion, no joy, there is only strangeness and alienation.
Hao Shaoyang's breath stagnated for a moment, and the smile on his face thinner a lot: "I'm relieved that you are doing well, you came back suddenly, the Gu family didn't know, there was definitely no carriage arranged, I was afraid that no one would pick you up, so I came here on purpose." Let's go, I'll send you home. ”
Gu Chongyang glanced at the carriage marked with the logo of the Marquis of Linjiang Mansion and refused: "I understand the kindness of Gongzi Hao, I am a member of the Gu family, and it is really unruly to sit in the carriage of the Marquis of Linjiang." The carriage of the Wenguo Mansion was spacious enough to take me back. I can't do it, I can rent a car and go back. ”
Listening to her indifferent words, Hao Shaoyang only felt that his heart was like a knife: "Chongyang, even if we ...... The Hao family and the Gu family are in-laws, I am still your cousin after all, and it is only natural for me to send you back......"
"Miss Gu." A cold voice suddenly came: "This Hao Gongzi is the grandson of the Marquis of Linjiang and the nephew of the Queen Mother?" ”
Hao Shaoyang raised his head and looked at Wang Jiulang, a trace of complicated feelings flashed in his eyes.
He knew that when Gu Chongyang was in danger in Nanjing, he always protected him again and again, and he also knew that Wang Jiulang and Gu Chongyang were getting closer and closer, and the people he sent to Nanjing to protect Gu Chongyang were also caught by him and rushed back.
He should be grateful to Wang Jiulang for taking care of Chongyang, but he is also jealous that he can be by her side every day. As a man, his intuition told him that the person in front of him definitely had very unusual feelings for Chongyang's cousin. This emotion would prevent him from getting back together with his cousin, which made him feel dangerous.
However, he will not give up no matter what. He and Chongyang's cousin are childhood sweethearts, and outsiders must not intervene.
Gu Chongyang felt that Wang Jiulang was a little displeased, after all, Hao Shaoyang blocked their way, she introduced: "Yes, Hao Gongzi is my eldest aunt's nephew, the grandson of Linjiang Hou. ”
She said to Hao Shaoyang again: "Hao Gongzi, this is Wang Jiulang of the Wenguo Mansion. ”
Yushu Gongzi Wang Jiulang, no one knows who doesn't know, but Wang Jiulang lives in a shallow way, and there are very few people who have really seen him. He is several years older than Hao Shaoyang, and the two of them are not in the same circle at all, so they have never met.
Hao Shaoyang looked at his fluttering demeanor and handsome face, and felt more and more jealous in his heart, but his tone was very blunt: "It turned out to be Wang Jiulang, the prince of Yushu, thank you for being willing to take your cousin Chongyang back to the capital, I will take her with me for the rest of the journey, so I won't bother the Wenguo Mansion." ”
He spoke too bluntly and unpolitely, and Gu Chongyang couldn't help but glance at him worriedly.
Wang Jiulang's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were a little colder than just now: "It turns out that Hao Gongzi is related to Miss Gu, and it is said that I should agree to Hao Gongzi's request, but when I returned to the capital, Mr. Shen repeatedly told me to send Miss Gu to the Qingyang Hou Mansion safely." ”
Hao Shaoyang's face was not good-looking, and he was about to speak, but Wang Jiulang didn't give him a chance to interject: "Moreover, Hao Gongzi is already married, but Miss Gu Yunying is not married. What's more, Hao Gongzi and Miss Gu still ruined their relationship, and this matter will be a big problem to Miss Gu's reputation, so I can't agree to it. ”
Hao Shaoyang felt that he had been stabbed in the heart, his face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes were full of pain.
He held back and squeezed out an ugly smile at Gu Chongyang: "It's me who missed it, and Cousin Chongyang will bother Wang Gongzi." Since they are all going back to the capital, let's go together. ”
Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Hao Shaoyang and entered the Wang family's carriage, she said apologetically to Mrs. Baozhen: "Sir, I'm sorry, because of me, the trip was delayed." ”
Mrs. Baozhen was not angry at all, only smiled and said: "What is this little time, we have come by water for more than ten days, and it is not bad for this day and a half." ”
Her tone is light and gentle, her eyes are smiling, and she is in a good mood.
Her Jiulang has become more and more estranged from her since she was eight years old, and her personality has become colder and colder, from the beginning of the eyes are angry to the later Yun Danfeng is expressionless, everything is not taken to heart, and the idea of becoming a monk in the middle also sprouted, she is really afraid that he will be like this for the rest of his life.
Now that he has a girl he likes, he will be nervous and worried, angry and angry, and will protect food like a puppy, this is a normal young man, and this is the fireworks of people.
How could she be angry? She will only be happy.
When the carriage moved, Gu Chongyang suddenly heard Wang Jiulang say: "Hao Gongzi waited on the shore of Tongzhou for three or four days, and when he came, he didn't tell his family, and now the Linjiang Hou Mansion is looking for someone to turn over the entire capital." ”
Hao Shaoyang's voice was full of surprise: "What does Wang Gongzi mean by this?" ”
Wang Jiulang's voice was as flat as ever: "I just heard from the coachman that Mrs. Zun started yesterday morning, but the fetus refused to come out, and eighty percent of it was a difficult ......birth."
Before his words fell, he heard Hao Shaoyang "driving", and the whip hit the horse heavily, Gu Chongyang was also very shocked, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to look out. I saw that the carriage driven by Hao Shaoyang himself on the official road had run out very quickly, setting off a burst of earthy yellow smoke and dust.
She couldn't help but exhale, there were three points of loss and seven points of ease, since they had married and given birth to a child, Hao Shaoyang and Miss Zhao must have gotten along quite happily. She blessed them and completely let go of a concern.
I just don't know if Miss Zhao's child was born, if it is really dystocia, whether the fetus and adults will be in danger.
Half a day's journey, it was already dusk, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Qingyang Hou Mansion, Wang Jiulang waited outside the carriage, and watched Gu Chongyang enter the gate of the Gu family before pedaling the car and turned to leave.
Old Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Ying were both surprised and delighted, they didn't expect Gu Chongyang to come back so suddenly.
In particular, Mrs. Cui took Gu Chongyang's hand and asked for warmth for a long time: "I have grown taller, I have the appearance of a big girl, I am more beautiful and more standard than the original, and the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River really support people." ”
A teenage girl is the time to grow her body, and she has indeed grown a lot taller in the past half a year. When I was in Nanjing, I had to re-cut my clothes every two months. Her menstrual affair also came shortly after she arrived in Nanjing.
Now she is indeed a big girl.
Gu Chongyang also looked at Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Ying: "I have grown taller, but my uncle and grandmother have not grown old, my grandmother and I look very energetic, and my aunt and uncle are much younger." It's just, why didn't you see the sister-in-law in the lobby? ”
"Your cousin and sister-in-law went to Tantuo Temple with her mother-in-law, aunt and aunt, Mrs. Lu, to repay their vows." Old Madam Cui smiled happily, and there was indescribable satisfaction in her tone: "Your cousin-in-law is five months pregnant. ”
"So, I'm going to be an aunt!" Now it was Gu Chongyang's turn to be surprised: "This is really great news!" I didn't expect such a big happy event to happen when I left home for more than half a year, no wonder my aunt and aunt Ying were so energetic, it turned out that people were in good spirits during happy events. ”
"It is indeed a great joy, and thanks to your medical skills, you have cured your brother's body. Without your credit, your cousin-in-law would not have conceived a child so quickly, and when your little nephew is born, let her be filial to you! Old Mrs. Cui smiled, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.
Mrs. Ying also joked: "Your cousin-in-law talks about you every day, and tells the child in her belly that you are a good doctor, and now that you are finally back, the little nephew can also hear your aunt's voice." ”
The import of Tian Ding is indeed a great joy, especially Gu Weirui, who has been in poor health in the past and almost can't survive. Now that I have saved my life and given birth to a child, I am really happy.
Gu Chongyang was infected by the joy of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "If you want to talk about filial piety, the little nephew should be the most filial to naturally the uncle grandmother and the eldest aunt, one is the great-grandmother, the other is the grandmother, now our family is going to be four generations in the same house, and it will definitely make many people envious of it." ”
The laughter continued, and Mama Ding lifted the curtain and came in: "Old lady, eldest lady, Miss Biao, Miss Zhen, and Second Miss came to greet the old lady, and learned that Miss Fourth is back, so come and see Miss Fourth by the way." ”
Since the second room lost the title, and the third master died suddenly, the old lady Ge in the second room has been sick one after another. During the time that Gu Chongyang left the capital, she became more and more sick, from waking up from nightmares in the middle of the night at the beginning, and then she didn't dare to sleep all night. Now it's even more scary, often talking to herself, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, she eats when she feeds, she doesn't feel hungry if she doesn't call her to eat, and when she hears a little movement, she says that the king of Hades sent someone to ask for her life, shouting and screaming.
Although Mrs. Cui hated her, she would not be able to get along with a patient who had lost her mind, so she had to move her to Zhuangzi to recuperate and let people take good care of her.
As soon as Mrs. Ge fell ill, Mrs. Hao, Mrs. Peng, came to Mrs. Cui, not only took the initiative to hand over the housekeeper power, but also cried and said that Mrs. Ge had poisoned Gu Weirui. She said that she didn't know about it at first, but then she inadvertently found out, so she tried her best to dissuade her, but Mrs. Ge didn't listen to her persuasion, and threatened to divorce her if she said it. That's why she didn't say it.
She cried and begged Mrs. Cui for forgiveness, saying that she was willing to eat a vegetarian all year round, practice on her behalf, and never ask about family affairs again, but begged Mrs. Cui not to be angry with Gu Zhengrong and Gu Chonghua.
Although Mrs. Cui knew that what she said was not all the truth, she had never been a person who did not distinguish between right and wrong. Even if the Hao family was involved in the harm to Gu Weirui, she would never murder Gu Zhengrong and Gu Chonghua, because they were both descendants of the Gu family, and Old Madam Cui didn't disdain to be as ruthless as Old Madam Ge.
Mrs. Ying has been married for many years and has never managed the house, if the housekeeping power is in her hands, most of the time she has to be helped by Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui is the oldest and oldest elder in the Qingyang Hou Mansion, and now the Qingyang Marquis is Gu Weirui, and several young ladies in the second room, for their future future, naturally come to Mrs. Cui every day to say goodbye. I don't know if I thought Mrs. Cui was their own grandmother.
The second miss Gu Chongzhu and Miss Zhen Gu Chongzhen are the original Yao Zhenzhen, and I don't know where this Miss Gu Chongyang is.
She couldn't help but look towards the door, Gu Chongzhu walked in the front, Gu Chongzhen was a step behind, and the girl who walked in the back was wearing a pink skirt, shaved shoulders and a thin waist, and walked with Na, following Gu Chongzhu and Gu Chongzhen to say hello to Mrs. Cui.
Gu Chongyang couldn't help but look at her with wide eyes, Chai Xiyue!
Didn't she go back to Hubei? Why did you go back to the capital again?
Seeing that Chai Xiyue and the person in her memory gradually overlapped, and their speech and demeanor became more and more similar, Gu Chongyang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Gu Chongzhu suddenly walked up and said: "Fourth sister, you have been in Nanjing for so long, I have been thinking about you, and I have a lot of things I want to tell you, let's go to Guan Ju Yuan to talk." ”
Looking at the person in front of him with a kind and kind tone, Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be surprised, is this still the arrogant and domineering Gu Chongzhu in her memory? She has only been away from the capital for more than half a year, how can she seem to be a different person.
Stretching out her hand and not hitting the smiling person, in front of so many people, Gu Chongyang is strange, and she will definitely not show it, she also smiled slightly: "Second sister don't say, I also want to invite a few sisters to sit in Guan Ju Courtyard, I brought gifts to several sisters." ”
"Fourth sister!" Gu Chongzhen also suddenly walked up, took Gu Chongyang's arm, and said very affectionately: "You have been walking for more than half a year, other people's brothers and sisters are by your side, but I am alone, now that you are back, the two girls in our fourth room have gathered, and I finally have someone to accompany me." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Gu Chongzhu defiantly.
