As soon as her words fell, Mama Su also led the two servants in: "Old lady, do you want to take the fourth lady down?" ”

Gu Chongyang sneered in his heart, but his face was puzzled: "Old lady, did I do something wrong?" Why bring it down? ”

"Presumptuous!" Old Madam Ge was choked by Gu Chongyang and slapped her face on the table: "Mama Su, what are you doing?" ”

Mama Su was stunned: "It's not you who call people......"

"My tea is cold, I want to call someone to add it." Old Madam Ge said angrily: "Things that don't have long eyes, I think you are old and confused." ”

"Yes, yes. It's all my fault, I didn't hear clearly, and I misunderstood the old lady's meaning on my own initiative. Mama Su said to Gu Chongyang with a red face: "Fourth Miss, don't take it to heart. ”

"You are the one who serves the old lady, how dare I?" Gu Chongyang's tone was flat, but when he heard it in everyone's ears, he felt a faint mockery.

Old Madam Ge felt more and more embarrassed: "What is the pestle doing there, don't get down quickly." ”

"Yes." Mama Su was unfavorable and retreated in disgrace.

"Four girls, you said you haven't seen Yunjin?"

She asked Gu Chongyang, but her eyes kept staring at Gu Chongzhu.

"She lied!" Gu Chongzhu glared at Gu Chongyang fiercely: "She obviously took a whole cloud brocade today, the color is gorgeous, as bright as a brocade, very good-looking." ”

Old Madam Ge frowned when she heard this.

Gu Chongzhu hurriedly said: "She complacently showed off in front of us, saying that she was going to make herself a new dress, I said at the time that such a good thing should be dedicated to the old lady." Unexpectedly, the four girls not only didn't give it, but actually said that they would not give it to the old lady even if they burned it. ”

"Old lady, listen to what she said, she obviously didn't take you seriously. If you don't teach her a lesson, others will learn from her in the future, and you will not bring the people in your family badly. If she doesn't know how to respect her elders like this, she should be beaten to death with a stick! ”

In the end, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

"Smack, smack, smack!"

Gu Chongyang not only did not have the fear of being exposed, but clapped his hands and laughed.

Don't say it's not Yun Jin, even if it's Yun Jin, it's only a small piece, barely able to cut it into three pieces, but Gu Chongzhu exaggerated and said that there was a full horse, and framed her for disrespecting her elders.

Hmph, according to the old lady's character, if she really did such a thing, I'm afraid she would have to shed her skin if she didn't die today. It's a pity that she is not a real little girl, and she is not willing to be a fish and meat that can be used by others, how can Gu Chongzhu slander her.

"Second sister, your ability to make up nonsense is really first-class, if you don't go to be a fortune teller and go to the overpass to deceive people, it's a pity that your talent is ruined."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Chongzhu sneered: "There is an old lady here today, you don't want to get by." ”

"It's obviously you who is talking nonsense." Gu Chongyang asked rhetorically: "Nanjing Yunjin is an inch of gold, and the finished products woven every year are not even ten horses, and most of them are paid tribute to the palace, how can I get it?" Even if I get it, now that I am still in the filial piety period, I can't wear brightly colored clothes at all, and you say that I want to make clothes with cloud brocade for myself, isn't it a joke? ”

"Your uncle is in Nanjing, and if he has money, he can naturally buy it." Gu Chongzhu said: "Although you are in the filial piety period, you can do it secretly and wear it at home." ”

Gu Chongyang didn't know whether he was angry or funny: "Okay, even so, then when I burned, weren't you watching from the side?" Why don't you stop it? ”

As soon as she thought that Yunjin was burned, Gu Chongzhu was furious, she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think I don't want to stop it?" You lost it so fast that I didn't have time to stop it, so it all burned. ”

"Second sister, I burned the earth dragon in my house, and Mingtang just put a small carbon basin." Gu Chongyang pointed to the carbon basin in the corner of the room and said, "The one in my house is smaller than the old lady's carbon basin." How could a whole horse of brocade burn up in the blink of an eye? Even if I really throw it into the carbon basin, it won't burn out for a while, you can still grab a little bit back, why didn't you get it at all? ”

Gu Chongyang asked questions again and again, and Gu Chongzhu was speechless, and Mrs. Ge stared at her with a positive face, she was anxious, so she was a little speechless: "I said it wrong, it's not a carbon basin, it's a brazier, the brazier you prepared a long time ago." ”

Gu Chongyang asked again: "Did I know in advance that you were going to go, and I knew in advance that I was going to burn Yunjin, so I prepared the brazier early?" ”

"This ...... This ......" Gu Chongzhu couldn't justify himself, and the sweat on his forehead was about to come out.

"Second sister, you are full of nonsense, telling right and wrong in front of the old lady, you are the one who really doesn't take the old lady in your eyes, right? Those lies you made up, let alone an old lady, you can hear it full of loopholes if you find anyone, who do you think the old lady is? ”

Gu Chongyang suddenly raised his voice: "Just because you ignored the third sister's double-sided embroidered veil, I couldn't tell the eldest sister two sentences about you, and you wanted to take revenge, so you made up such a lie to slander me." All you have done is to suppress me in the name of an old lady in order to fulfill your own unsightly plans. Fortunately, the old lady was clever and did not be deceived by you, otherwise, if this matter spreads, others will not only say that our Gu family sisters are not in harmony, but even the old lady's reputation may be damaged. ”

"If you look at me again, just come at me, you shouldn't have to, you shouldn't have dragged the old lady in, and let her old man worry about our trivial idea. What you've done, I'm so disappointed. Even if you are a sister and I am a sister, I can't help but argue with reason, so that the old lady can see the truth clearly. ”

Old Madam Ge is not stupid, she just heard Nanjing Yunjin at first glance, she was greedy, and she called Gu Chongyang without asking clearly.

When Gu Chongyang asked and answered Gu Chongzhu, she was tired of hearing it. Gu Chongzhu's words have too many loopholes.

She originally decided that Gu Chongzhu had lied, Gu Chongyang said righteous words, and even exaggerated Gu Chongzhu's bad intentions, and Mrs. Ge's face was no longer so kind just now, but a kind of reproach and dissatisfaction.

Under the stern gaze of Old Madam Ge, Gu Chongzhu was in a mess, she swallowed her saliva and said, "Old lady, don't listen to the four girls, she is beating a rake." ”

Gu Chongyang looked calm: "Old lady, who is right and wrong, I believe you must have a fair judgment." ”

This kind of expression of the two of them is high and low, and Mrs. Ge naturally has a judgment in her heart.

She is not a smart person, and the housekeeper has always been the eldest daughter-in-law, but she never allows the eldest daughter-in-law to cross the thunder pool to challenge her authority.

But I didn't expect that this second granddaughter, who seemed to be clever but was actually stupid, would dare to fool her, was she usually too kind to her, so she forgot about her humility?

She glared at Gu Chongzhu indifferently, feeling that this granddaughter was really too bold.

"Old lady...... The old lady ......" Gu Chongzhu was almost trembling with fright: "I didn't lie to you, it's the four girls who lied, don't punish me." ”

Her plea was heard in the ears of Old Madame Ge, and her guilt was more and more confirmed.

"Someone!" Old Madam Ge commanded in a cold tone: "...... the second girl"

"The eldest lady is here."

As soon as Mrs. Ge's words came out, the voice of the maid suddenly came from the door, the curtain moved, and Gu Chonghua walked in.

"Big sister!" Gu Chongzhu jumped up suddenly, and grabbed Gu Chonghua's hand like a life-saving straw: "You can be regarded as here, you told the old lady, what did you see in the courtyard of the four girls this afternoon?" ”

Gu Chonghua came to greet Mrs. Ge, but she didn't expect to be asked by Gu Chongzhu as soon as she entered the door, and she was confused: "Second sister, is there anything strange in the courtyard of the fourth girl?" I haven't seen anything. ”

"No, no, no. Have you forgotten? The four girls have cloud brocade, Nanjing cloud brocade! She looked at Gu Chonghua nervously, her eyes unblinking: "We were all here at the time, big sister, you still chanted poems to praise that Yunjin." ”

Mrs. Ge asked, "Why is Sister Hua also in Haitang Courtyard in the afternoon?" ”

Calling others the second girl, the third girl, and the fourth girl, calling Gu Chonghua is Sister Hua, who kisses and who is sparse, this one title can be distinguished.

Gu Chonghua lightly blessed his body, and showed everyone's demeanor: "Back to the old lady, I did go to Haitang Courtyard in the afternoon, I went to send a handkerchief to the fourth sister, the third sister was also there at the time, and the second sister also went later." It's rare for us sisters to get together so together. ”

She smiled slightly, and said calmly: "What, is something wrong?" ”

Mrs. Ge herself was born in the down-and-out Nanning Bofu, and she was a concubine, so she relied on the eldest daughter-in-law from a famous and noble family.

And Gu Chonghua, as the eldest granddaughter of her in-laws, is talented and generous, with good rules and etiquette, and is full of praise wherever she goes. The most important thing is that Gu Chonghua's appearance is somewhat similar to her, others always say that "the eldest lady has the style of her whole body, and her every move has the character of an old lady when she was young", which greatly satisfied her vanity, so she sincerely loves Gu Chonghua.

Hearing Gu Chonghua ask like this, her face was as usual, and she said in a kind tone: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the second girl said that the fourth girl burned a cloud brocade, and I asked what was going on." ”

"This ......"

Gu Chonghua was about to speak, but Gu Chongzhu preemptively said: "Big sister, the fourth girl does have Yunjin, she would rather burn it in order to swallow it alone, and she is not willing to take it out." Big sister, you were there at the time, you also saw it, tell the old lady quickly! ”

Because she was too eager, her tone was a little impulsive, and even a little arrogant. It's not that she deliberately wants to say this, but she is used to talking to people in a high-minded way, and she reveals it without paying attention.

Gu Chonghua's brows couldn't help but frown slightly, she debated with Gu Chongzhu in the afternoon, which made her feel that Gu Chongzhu didn't take her sister in her eyes, but she didn't expect that in front of the old lady, she was still so presumptuous.

Rao is Gu Chonghua is good-tempered, and she can't help it.

"Second sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Where is there any cloud brocade, it's just an ordinary brocade, the fourth sister was going to make a handkerchief, but she accidentally fell off, and it happened to fall into the carbon basin, how did it become a cloud brocade in your mouth? ”

"You talk nonsense!" Gu Chongzhu didn't expect Gu Chonghua to say this, she screamed on the spot: "Why are you helping Gu Chongyang, what benefits did she give you?" You are a sister, and you actually helped Gu Chongyang, and opened your eyes and said nonsense......"

"Presumptuous!"

Gu Chonghua is Mrs. Ge's beloved granddaughter, seeing Gu Chongzhu so unruly and yelling at Gu Chonghua, Mrs. Ge felt that she was really an eyesore. Even if she bullied Gu Chongyang, she was so disrespectful to Gu Chonghua, how could she sit idly by.

"It's all because I'm usually too lenient, even if you don't know the height of the sky. is full of nonsense and arranges sisters to sue for black, but they don't know how to repent when they are refuted. Although the girls of the Gu family don't say that they are as knowledgeable as Sister Hua'er, they are the first one who is rude and rude like you. Since your mother doesn't teach you, then I'll discipline you. ”

Old Madam Ge said sharply: "Mama Su, you are blind and deaf, why don't you bring someone quickly, take this thing that does not understand the dignity and humility of the upper and lower to me out, lock it up in the small Buddha hall, don't give her food, let her kneel and reflect." ”

Because the second lady Fei is the niece of Mrs. Ge, Mrs. Ge usually connived at Gu Chongzhu, and the small mistakes were all turned a blind eye and passed, but this time she first deceived Mrs. Ge, and by disrespecting Gu Chonghua, it can be said that she touched Mrs. Ge's backlash, and the two crimes were combined, how could Mrs. Ge not punish her.

Only then did Gu Chongzhu realize that she had made a big disaster, she knelt down with a puff, her expression was panicked, and she was in a mess: "No, old lady, I know it's wrong, don't you lock me up in the small Buddha hall, don't you usually love me the most?" Please don't punish me, I won't dare anymore. ”

Mama Su came in with people and didn't move, she felt that Old Madam Ge might regret it.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ge said with a gloomy face: "It's because I usually spoil you too much, that's why you kick your nose in the face, and teach you a lesson today, it's also for your good!" Mama Su, don't take her away quickly. ”

"Yes." Mama Su knew that Old Madam Ge would not change her mind, so she glanced at the two mothers-in-law on the left and right, and the mother-in-law didn't say a word, and stepped forward to take away the painful Gu Chongzhu with a tug.

Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and sure enough, as he thought, the old lady taught Gu Chongzhu a hard lesson this time, and did not gently expose it as before.

"Old Lady ......"

"Sister Hua, do you want to plead for the second girl?"

"No, old lady, you misunderstood, the granddaughter is not pleading for the second sister." Gu Chongzhu has repeatedly given Gu Chonghua no face, Gu Chonghua is also angry, this time seeing Gu Chongzhu being punished, although she feels that Gu Chongzhu is pitiful, she also feels that she deserves it.

Therefore, she said softly: "The second sister is usually very arrogant, and she is the most arrogant among the sisters, and we dare not argue with her." Unexpectedly, the more she let her, the more she had to make inches, and she was a bit of a bit of nonsense. You taught her a lesson today, also for her good, to give her a long memory, and to save her from going out in the future to lose the face of our Gu family. It's just that you must take care, don't be angry for her. ”

These words were reasonable, and Old Madam Ge patted her hand with satisfaction: "Good boy, I know your filial piety. ”

But I thought in my heart that Sister Hua was the most benevolent, but she said the same thing today, which shows that the second girl is usually too much. It seems that he is too lenient with the second room.

Thinking of the second master taking care of the grange industry and swallowing a lot of it privately, she felt angry when it was just burst out a few days ago.

Feed the white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it, and he can't do anything when he encounters something, and it is very good to deceive and hide the greedy ink and money. Fei Shi breathed out from one nostril with him, and he actually hid it from himself all these years.

The niece is also an outsider, and in the end it is not as intimate as her own children and grandchildren. In the future, she will have to be cold in the second room.

Seeing that Old Madam Ge's face turned cold, and she didn't know what she was thinking, Gu Chonghua and Gu Chongyang offered their leave.

After leaving Anrong Courtyard, Gu Chongyang said: "Thank you big sister for today's matter, if you hadn't relieved me, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so smooth." The second sister is a person who talks nonsense when she opens her mouth, and I almost didn't say anything about her. ”

"Where can I help you?" Gu Chonghua said: "It's just telling the truth." She did something wrong today and should have been punished. ”

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly there was a tacit understanding.

"By the way, since your uncle gave you that brocade, do you have anything else?"

Gu Chongyang was a little surprised, and hurriedly covered it up, and only said: "Because it is the rest of the selection for the embroidery village, I don't have much there, if the eldest sister wants it, I will write to my uncle and ask him to come over a few horses." ”

"What do you think I am?" Gu Chonghua patted Gu Chongzhu's head lightly: "In your eyes, am I the kind of person who asks for a bribe if I do someone a little favor?" I'm for the third sister, she doesn't have a double-sided embroidered veil, if you still have that brocade, you might as well give her a piece, I think she likes it very much. ”

Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little guilty, and hurriedly apologized: "I still have a little bit there, I will send it to the third sister tomorrow." Big sister, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have thought of you like that. It's me who is wrong, you forgive my little sister for this. ”

"You!" Gu Chonghua feigned anger and said: "Punish you to embroider a handkerchief for me with your own hands as a gift for next year." ”

Gu Chongyang was afraid of doing embroidery work, and the female celebrity was a mess, and the entire Gu family knew about it.

"Oh my God!" Gu Chongyang exclaimed: "Big sister, your request is too outrageous, then I would rather you not forgive me." ”

Gu Chonghua took a cold hand and stuffed it into Gu Chongyang's neck: "Wow, you are so insincere, see how I punish you." ”

Gu Chongyang laughed and hid: "Good sister, you can spare me." ”

The two sisters chased one after the other, and their cheerful laughter made people feel that it was not cold.

But the second lady Fei Shi was so angry when she heard the news that Gu Chongzhu was imprisoned in the small Buddha hall: "So, it was the four girls who provoked it in front of the old lady?" ”

Grandma Sun paused.

She said so much just now, but the second lady ignored it all, including Gu Chongzhu who went to sue the black first, and the second lady also selectively forgot about it, only thinking that Gu Chongyang had the intention of harming people, but she didn't want her daughter to stir up trouble first.

However, Mama Sun knew that her wife had always been very good at protecting her shortcomings, and it was useless to say it at this time, so she nodded and said, "Yes, it's mainly the fourth miss, and the eldest lady is also fueling the troubles." ”

"That's right." The second lady was so angry that her eyes were on fire: "What is the fourth girl, the old lady has always loved Chongzhu, and she will never punish Chongzhu because of her few words, it must be that the big girl is also mixed with bad water in it." I went to my sister-in-law to comment on the evaluation and ask her what daughter she raised, and she actually teamed up with the people in the fourth room to bully us Chongzhu. ”

Grandma Sun was shocked when she heard this: "Second lady, no." This has nothing to do with the eldest lady. Besides, it's not good that you offended the eldest lady by going like this, she is the head of the house after all. ”

"Humph! What is the housewife, the ladies actually attacked each other, and bullied each other, which shows that her family is not very good. ”

The second lady sneered: "If I swallow my anger this year, she still thinks that our second room is easy to bully." Now is not the time for the eldest lord to be alive, the eldest lord has done nothing in office, lost his position, and even affected us. She, as a wife, has to take responsibility. It's not interesting for this family to barely maintain, so it's better to divide it. ”

When Mama Sun heard this, she knew that her wife was going to find the eldest lady, on the one hand, to find a place for Gu Chongzhu, and on the other hand, to prove who was the real hostess of the Hou Mansion.

In the past, when the eldest lord was still the marquis, the second lady Fei naturally wanted to let the eldest lady have a few points, and did not dare to confront her.

But now that the eldest lady is dead, the big house is gone, and the eldest lady has neither a husband to help nor the name of Mrs. Hou, the second lady is not afraid of her at all.

What's more, it is the second master who now takes care of the Shuwu Tianye shop. The second lady felt that the entire Gu family contributed the most to their second room, and the Gu family had to rely on their second room. In this situation, it's not that she's afraid of the eldest lady, but that the eldest lady wants to let her.

"Madam, the old lady's heart is still biased towards the big house." Mama Sun reminded: "You must think twice." ”

"Now the Gu family is up and down in affairs, which one does not rely on the second master? Not to mention the sister-in-law, even the old lady needs the arm of the second master to get things done. The second lady's face was full of arrogance: "This is the rotation of feng shui, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!" ”

When Mama Sun heard this, she felt that what the second lady said was reasonable, and hurriedly patted her ass and said: "Since the second master is in charge of the house, then the affairs of this inner house should also be in charge of you, Mrs., but the eldest lady is reluctant to let go." ”

"The sister-in-law housekeeper has been a housekeeper for so many years, but she has not been less filled, and no one wants to spit out the fat in her mouth. So far, I can't help her, now is not the time when the eldest master is alive. Chongzhu was bullied, if she didn't deal with it properly, I wouldn't follow her! ”
