Chapter 27: The Long House Comes

In the previous life, Gu Chongyang was wronged by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Yanenhou, and when he came back, he could only cry secretly and complain silently.

She thought that her mother would be like herself, but she was wrong, and her mother was not sad at all.

Because there is a father who understands her and cares about her. Therefore, even if the old lady made it difficult for her, she didn't feel anything.

For the father, the mother is willing.

On the other hand, in his previous life, he was not as good as his mother. At least He Runnian has never understood himself and comforted himself, let alone not taking concubines like his father.

Is it because of this that she will slowly give up on He Runnian later?

She had always thought that she was dead to He Runnian, but it was because she listened to her master's words, so she suddenly opened her mouth.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that in my heart, I don't have the luxury of He Runnian's love for a long time, right? At least, they had never been as close to heart as their father and mother had before.

Father and mother were talking indoors, Mama Wu and the maids were far away, and Gu Chongyang sat on the threshold of Mingtang thinking about his thoughts.

Suddenly, my father's angry shouts came from inside the house: "...... It's so deceitful! What the hell is she going to do? โ€

"Master, be quiet." The mother softly comforted: "People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, and after you ask for peace in the future, don't stay in the inner courtyard." Naturally, she can't do anything about you. โ€

"But what do you do?" Father's voice was thick with unwillingness: "Qiongzhi, when my father was dying, she forced my aunt to death with a bowl of โ–กโ–ก, I watched it, but I couldn't do anything. Now, do you want me to watch her force you to death? How does this work, how does this work? โ€

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this!

She always thought that her father and the old lady were just the contradictions between her mother and her concubine, but she didn't expect the contradictions between them to be so deep.

The old lady actually forced her father's biological mother, Aunt Su, to death.

The revenge of killing the mother is not shared.

No wonder the old lady treated them so sharply as soon as they returned.

But the old lady occupies the name of her mother-in-law, and they may be able to avoid her edge for the time being. In the long run, my father may suffer a big loss.

"Qiongzhi!" His father's voice suddenly became very excited, and he called his mother's name and said, "Qiongzhi, let's divide it." โ€

That's a good idea!

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but get excited, if they could be separated, they would never have to look at the old lady's face in the future. Mother doesn't have to deal with the evil mother-in-law, and she doesn't have to be confined to this inner house.

Gu Chongyang agreed with his father's idea very much.

"Master, never!" The mother exclaimed, "The matter of family separation has always been only proposed by the Venerable Master, so how can you be a junior and make a claim?" If the family is separated, unless the Venerable Master is no longer there, the brothers can ask the elders of the clan to witness the separation. Now that the old lady is still alive, how can she split up? โ€

"I know, I know." The father looked a little irritable: "The old lady is afraid that she is waiting to find out my mistakes at the moment, if I propose to split the family, won't it be in her arms?" Once this big hat of unfilial piety is put on my head, my life will be ruined. โ€

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be silent, the Great Qi Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and unfilial people were not qualified to be officials at all. And now, their predicament can only be resolved through Guรฒ's father's career.

As long as the father's career is smooth and he can be released, they will swim into the sea like a fish, and the old lady will not be able to reach it. Even if she can't be released, even if she is an official in Beijing, the old lady is somewhat jealous.

The worst thing is the current situation, my father does not have a half-official position......

If my mother had a high-ranking and powerful mother's family, I'm afraid my father wouldn't have been so constrained! My grandfather's family was just a merchant, and he was far away in Nanjing, so he really had no way to help his father.

Phew!

The two uncles love her as her own, and she has done a lot for herself in her previous life, how can she dislike her uncle's background? What about merchants? Uncle didn't steal or rob, he relied on his own skills to earn money, and he was no worse than others at all!

But speaking of which, the father is really rare. didn't snub her at all because of her mother's background. My mother has not given birth to a boy for so many years, and my father has never blamed my mother for half a cent. There has never been a room on the left, a concubine on the right, and the concubines and concubines jumped outward.

Look at the other princes of the Hou Mansion, either they sleep in the willows and make the dogs and become disciples, or they are raised by their stepmothers to be weak and cowardly like the second uncle, and they only know how to eat and drink.

My father worked hard to find a way out of the way under the oppression of his mother-in-law, and later sat on the wine of the national son of the country, one of the little Jiuqing.

It's no wonder that in the previous life, others always gave a thumbs up when they mentioned their father.

But the mother is also very good, gentle and kind, and very beautiful.

Listening to the voices of his parents indoors, Gu Chongyang became more and more determined to change his fate and maintain the family.

After my father gave my mother the medicine, he instructed him to set the meal.

Eat silently, sleep silently.

Gu Chongyang ate in silence with his father and mother. As soon as Lu Wu led the maids to remove the leftovers, Mama Wu came in with a solemn expression and said, "Fourth lady, someone from the long room has come." โ€

When my mother heard this, her expression changed, and she immediately stood up and said busily, "Who is here?" โ€

"It's Mama Ding next to the old lady of the long house."

When my mother heard this, she was even more like a great enemy, and said in a loud voice: "Please come in." โ€

At this moment, let alone the mother, even the father's face changed: "Madam, we are too rude this time." There was a hint of reproach in his tone.

"It's the concubine's negligence." The mother apologized and said, "Master go indoors, and Mama Ding will hand it over to me to take care of." โ€

The father didn't answer, turned around and ran towards the inner room, accidentally kicked the chair, and stumbled a few times before he could stand firm.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it.

My father is past his prime, why is he still so frizzy?

Besides, Mrs. Cui is the most reasonable person, even if we are rude, as long as we apologize seriously, her old man will definitely not blame us.

But his father was unwilling to face it, but instead pushed everything on his mother, which was really not in line with his usual steady style.

Gu Chongyang shook his head disappreciatively.

Let's start from the beginning.

The Gu family is divided into four bedrooms and two bedrooms outside.

The four inner rooms are Gu Zhanpeng, the eldest master of Qingyang Hou, the second master Gu Zhanyu of the second room, Gu Zhanyun, the third master of the third room, and the fourth room is the room of Gu Chongyang's father.

The outer two rooms are divided into long rooms and second rooms.

Gu Bai, the old lady of the long room, and Gu Yang, the old lady of the second room, are two half-brothers.

Gu Bai is a concubine, and Gu Yang is a concubine.

Gu Yue, the ancestor of the Gu family, followed the Emperor Tai/Zu to fight the world, and won the title of Danshu Iron Scroll and hereditary replacement, and the title of Marquis of Qingyang was passed down all the way to Gu Bai, that is, the generation of the old lady of Changfang.

Gu Bai, the old lady of the long house, is his son-in-law, and the title fell to him without any suspense.

But the world is impermanent, three months after the old lady Bai got married, he accompanied the Jianxing Emperor to the south to inspect, on the way the emperor was assassinated, the old lady Bai fought to the death with the assassin, blocked a sword for the emperor, saved the emperor's life, but he died. Because of the emptiness under his knees, he had no son at that time, so this title was inherited by his younger brother Gu Yang.

Gu Yang is Gu Chongyang's grandfather, the old lady of the Gu family's second room.

Later, Gu Yang passed the title to his eldest son, Gu Zhanpeng, who is now the head of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion.

Although the two old ladies in the long room and the second room are gone, they have never separated.

In order to distinguish them, the people in the mansion have always called Gu Bai's side the long house, while Gu Zhanpeng, the Marquis of Qingyang, was called the small long house or the big house.

Now the head of the family in this mansion is naturally Mrs. Ge. But the old lady Cui of the long house is the sister-in-law of Mrs. Ge, and in terms of seniority and status, she is even higher than Mrs. Ge. Although she doesn't take care of things, no one in the entire Hou Mansion dares to despise her.

She is an elder, and when they returned to the capital after going out for three years, it stands to reason that they are going to ask Mrs. Cui for the long house.

Yesterday they didn't go, and today they still haven't.

Now that Mrs. Cui of Changfang has sent someone, they will think of this ballast. In theory, it is true that the father and the mother are not.

After a while, Mama Wu led Mama Ding in.

Mama Ding is the dowry maid of the old lady of the long house, and she has a transcendent status in front of the Gu family and the old lady of the long house, not to mention her mother, even the second old lady Ge Shi saw Mama Ding and did not dare to take it big.

"Fourth Lady." Mama Ding saluted her mother.

Where did the mother dare to stand it, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mama Ding's arm, and said with a smile: "The old lady can't leave Mama for a moment, if there is anything to find a little maid to say, how can you run in person?" โ€

"The old lady heard yesterday that you and the fourth master and the fourth lady have returned home, so she specially sent me to take a look. Ask the fourth lady what is missing here, is there anything to add. Mama Ding smiled and said: "The old lady also said, if the old lady in the second room has no arrangements tonight, let you and the fourth master take the fourth lady to the long room for dinner, the old lady said, I want to pick you up and wash the dust." โ€

My mother made such a big mistake herself, and she was very panicked.

Her concubines are all young ladies of the Duke's Earl's Court, and she is the only one who is from a merchant's background, and she originally felt that she was a dwarf, so she refused to be talked about in everything. She returned to the Hou Mansion in Qingyang and brought a lot of Tuyi, and even the subordinates of the Hou Mansion thought of it, but forgot about the long house.

She originally thought that Mrs. Cui of the long room sent Mama Ding to humiliate herself, and she would definitely say some ugly things. Unexpectedly, Mama Ding not only had a pleasant face, but also said that Mrs. Cui of the long house wanted to give her family a pick-up.

Her heart was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, and she was moved by the reasonableness of Mrs. Cui of the long house, and she felt guilty for her negligence to her elders, and she blamed herself for being rude and thinking so badly of others......
