"Chongyang." Hao Shaoyang looked up at her, his tone pious and gentle: "I promised you before, there will be no one between us." ”

Gu Chongyang didn't see joy when he heard this, but felt very stunned: "Then what about Miss Zhao?" ”

"That's what I'm going to beg you for." Hao Shaoyang looked at her pleadingly: "Chongyang, I promise you that we will have no one else before, it is out of sincerity. But I never imagined what would happen later. ”

"So, you're going to repent?" Gu Chongyang frowned and looked at him calmly.

"No, not a reversal." Hao Shaoyang said nervously: "It's just to give senior sister a name." If it were someone else, I would have stabbed her to death with a sword to prevent future troubles. But she is a senior sister, different from others, she grew up with me since she was a child, she is my sister, but also my sister, Master died for me, I promised Master to take good care of my sister. What I mean is to let my sister enter the door, just give her a name, let my sister have a place to live, that's all. ”

Gu Chongyang took a sad breath, this is Hao Shaoyang, he is a loving and righteous person, and he will never sit idly by and ignore Zhao Menglan, but he is also reluctant to himself.

He grabbed Gu Chongyang's hand and trembled slightly, his eyes were full of anticipation, Gu Chongyang could feel that he was so nervous.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but think of Mrs. Cui's teaching, he could use Hao Shaoyang's guilt and respect to capture his heart, and if he married him in the future, Zhao Menglan could only succumb to himself.

It's just a name, what's the big deal?

How hard is it to nod your head?

She convinces herself over and over again in her heart, but overthrows herself over and over again.

She has passed the last life in a daze, does she still have to compromise in this life?

Hao Shaoyang's affection is not half false, she cherishes it very much. She used to look forward to a happy future with him.

But if that happy future must be exchanged for the present compromise, she would rather not!

"Shaoyang, you mean that you only give Miss Zhao a name, and when Miss Zhao enters the door in the future, you will never step into Miss Zhao's yard again, right?"

She has already made a decision in her heart, but she is still reluctant to say it, and she still wants to make a final effort.

"Yes." Hao Shaoyang's eyes were serious, and he nodded heavily: "I have been wrong the first time, and I will never be wrong the second time." Chongyang, in the end I'm sorry for you. If I really treat my senior sister as a concubine, I will not only be sorry for you, but also sorry for the master, and I will also defile the senior sister. ”

"But have you ever thought about it, if you take Miss Zhao as a concubine, how will Miss Zhao pursue her happiness in the future? A woman, what she asks for is not a place to protect, what she asks for is the love of her husband, the perfection of both children and daughters, and the perfection of the family. If she becomes your concubine, she will have nothing to do with it in the future. Can you bear to watch Miss Zhao alone? Uncle Zhao in the spirit of heaven must not be willing to watch his daughter alone and alone. ”

"This ......" Hao Shaoyang looked at Gu Chongyang in astonishment, at a loss: "But this is what Senior Sister meant, she said that she is only one person now, so she hopes to have a place to protect her, and she has nothing to ask for......"

"What Miss Zhao said, you just agreed, right?" Looking at his confused appearance, Gu Chongyang only felt very painful in his heart: "Have you ever thought about what to do if Miss Zhao has someone she likes in her heart?" ”

"It's simpler, if Senior Sister has someone she likes, then I'll let Senior Sister be with that person, won't that solve the problem?"

"But Miss Zhao likes you!"

Gu Chongyang asked him loudly: "Then what do you want?" What should you do? In order to make Miss Zhao happy, do you want to stay and fly with her? ”

Hao Shaoyang was like being struck by lightning, as if he was being drunk by someone, and he was stunned all of a sudden.

After a long time, he suddenly came to his senses, he stepped forward, and said with a panicked expression: "No, Chongyang, senior sister won't like me, and the only person who lives and flies with me is you!" ”

Whether he really doesn't know or is he deceiving himself!

"Hao Shaoyang!" Gu Chongyang suddenly pushed him away: "I don't agree, I don't agree with Miss Zhao entering the door, my husband can only have me alone, and no one else is allowed, even if it's just in name." I didn't allow Miss Zhao's house to enter the door, I didn't agree. Me and Zhao Menglan, you can only choose one! ”

Hao Shaoyang stretched out his hand to pull Gu Chongyang, and suddenly froze in mid-air.

"Chongyang, do you really not agree?" Hao Shaoyang inserted his hands into his hair, very painful: "That year, I went with Yao Junyan to suppress the bandits, Yao Junyan was arrested, and the bandits asked me to go back to get the ransom, do you know how I did it?" ”

"I didn't leave, I chose to stay as a hostage and let Yao Junyan go back. I do this not because of how noble I am, but because I would rather be in danger than hurt by the people around me. ”

Hao Shaoyang stood up, his eyes moistened, and his voice choked: "I promised that Master would take care of Senior Sister, I can't break my word." No matter how bitter and painful my heart is, I must protect my senior sister and not let her be hurt. ”

Gu Chongyang clutched his dress and closed his eyes in pain.

So, you can break your word to me, so you can hurt me, right?

"It's not that I don't love you." Hao Shaoyang couldn't control himself, tears lingered, his voice was fragmented, and he trembled: "It's because I see you and me as one, you are me, and if you are wronged, you are wronged by myself." ”

"Chongyang!" Hao Shaoyang burst into tears, stepped forward and hugged Gu Chongyang: "Don't force me, will you promise me?" ”

Gu Chongyang lowered his head and did not answer.

Every sentence Hao Shaoyang said was like a needle, stabbing her heart.

There were many moments when she wanted to nod, but every time she wanted to nod, she felt extremely difficult, like someone was choking her throat, and she couldn't breathe.

You can't have it both ways.

Today, Hao Shaoyang accepted her in order to give Zhao Menglan a place to live, and tomorrow he could have a child with her in order to give Zhao Menglan a place to rely on...... After a long time, day by day, she didn't want her love with Hao Shaoyang to disappear in the friction, and finally hated each other and hated each other. She doesn't want to be like her previous life, all she asks for is her husband's mercy, no freedom, no self.

That's not the life she wants.

When the judgment is constantly suffering, it is chaotic!

Gu Chongyang Huo Ran got up, pushed Hao Shaoyang away, and turned around and entered the inner room.

She didn't dare to stay, for fear that she would be reluctant to covet his warmth, and she didn't dare to speak, for fear that if she opened her mouth, she couldn't help crying.

****************

Three days later, the second lady of the Linjiang Hou Mansion, Tian, and Mrs. Hui Ningbo joined hands to leave their relatives.

Mrs. Cui was furious and said a lot of ugly things to the second lady of Linjiang Hou, and finally the Hou Hao family of Linjiang decided to use the dowry as compensation when the marriage was fixed.

Seeing off the people from the Linjiang Hou Mansion, Mrs. Cui took Gu Chongyang's hand and comforted her: "It's because their Hao family is not blessed, don't be sad, there is more than one man in this world, Hao Shaoyang." If you have an uncle and grandmother to call the shots, you will definitely find a husband with good looks for you. ”

"Grandmother, do women have to get married?" Gu Chongyang said: "Can I stay in the Gu family forever without getting married?" ”

Old Madam Cui thought she was disheartened, so she said softly: "Of course you can, your mother's dowry is so much, enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." Our Qingyang Hou Mansion will not even be able to support you as a little girl, I know that Hao Shaoyang has broken your heart, don't worry, Grandma Uncle is not that old and stubborn, as long as you don't want to marry, you will always stay in the Gu family, I will never force you to marry. ”

"Grandmother!" Gu Chongyang's heart was moved, and his throat was a little blocked: "It is a blessing for Chongyang Sansheng to be able to get your love." ”

"Between people, there is a fate." Mrs. Cui said lovingly: "Although we are not the ancestors and grandchildren of our relatives, but you can raise them in my name, which doesn't mean that you and I are destined." It can be seen that what is yours is yours, and if it is not your forcible request, it will not be obtained, and in the dark, everything is doomed. ”

Grandmother Uncle is consoling herself that she has no relationship with Hao Shaoyang.

"What you said is that sometimes there must be a hit, and there is no need to force the hit, Uncle Grandmother, what you said, Chongyang remembered." Gu Chongyang sat on the small pestle in front of Mrs. Cui's big kang, took the beauty hammer in the maid's hand, and personally hammered Mrs. Cui's legs: "Uncle grandmother, I want to discuss something with your old man." ”

When Mrs. Cui saw that although she was sad, her eyes were clear and there was no decadence, and she felt more and more that she was a smart and insightful person, different from ordinary girls, and felt that she was a little similar to herself.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"When I was removed from the service, my uncle wanted to take me to Nanjing, but I didn't agree at that time." Gu Chongyang said: "A few days ago, my uncle sent another letter to take me to Nanjing, and I want to go to my uncle's house to live for a while. ”

After Gu Chongyang finished speaking, he looked at Old Madam Cui expectantly.

She was very nervous, because the situation in the DPRK and China had changed, and in order to prevent her uncle from following the old path of the previous life and straying into the puppet emperor's thief ship, she had to go to Nanjing.

In July of this year, Daqi fought with the Tatar thorns and won many victories, and the Jianxing Emperor Longyan Dayue feasted his ministers, but suddenly suffered a stroke and fell to the ground.

The three princes were close to the sick. In addition to the eldest prince with a leg disease, the second prince and the third prince have been fighting openly and secretly.

The third prince has five daughters and three sons under his knees, and the royal family of the Great Qi Dynasty has been withering, and the three princes are full of children, which is his capital.

Although the second prince has never been married, he rarely has a good name, and he will win people's hearts. The emperor also intended to belong to the second prince, and for a time the courtiers wrote to the emperor to ask the emperor to appoint the second prince as the crown prince.

Unexpectedly, someone told the emperor that the reason why the eldest prince fell off the horse was because the second prince was a ghost, and this news caused an uproar in the court.

One wave did not settle, and one wave after another, and some people found that the second prince colluded with the two Huai to patrol the salt imperial history, and embezzled more than 200,000 taels of salt and silver, most of which were used to bribe and win over courtiers.

The emperor was furious and made the third prince the crown prince and the eldest prince the blessed king; The second prince is the king of glory.

After arranging these things, the emperor's health deteriorated, and the crown prince was put in charge of the country.

It is said that these things have little to do with Gu Chongyang, and they have little to do with his uncle. If it weren't for being reborn, Gu Chongyang wouldn't have known that King Rong would have such great ambitions, let alone that he was planning to rebel, and even his uncle had become King Rong's party, and he would have been prosperous and lost with him.

King Rong's rebellion was successful, and his uncle had the merit of becoming a dragon, adding an official to a knight, and changing from a merchant to the Duke of Liangguo, envious of others.

The reason why He Runnian married her was because of this.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, but in just two years, Wang Jiulang led a Tatar army of 200,000 to break through the puppet emperor's city and quickly support the new emperor.

Uncle was reduced from a prince who was envied by everyone to a prisoner overnight, and her status in the Yan'en Hou He family plummeted.

Later, Wang Jiulang became a master of Chuyan, assisted the new emperor in governing the government, opened up to the former ministers of the puppet emperor, only distributed the frontier, and did not behead him, saving the life of his uncle's family.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Master Chu Yan passed away, the new emperor went on a killing spree, his uncle's family was slaughtered, and the cousin who married died of illness, and even she herself could not escape the fate of death.

It can be said that all tragedies start with her uncle and King Rong, she must prevent the tragedy from happening, and she must go to Nanjing.

didn't go to Nanjing before, first, because she was worried about Hao Shaoyang; Second, there is plenty of time.

When Hao Shaoyang had just returned to Beijing, she was planning to go to Nanjing. Because Hao Shaoyang was going to enter the palace, she waited for him to come out before going.

I didn't expect things to change like this.

In this sad place in the capital, she really doesn't want to stay anymore. The most important thing is to prevent my uncle from contacting King Rong.

Old Madam Cui didn't stop her when she heard this, but said, "When are you going to go?" ”

Regarding the matter of retiring from marriage with Hao Shaoyang, she also held grievances for Gu Chongyang. If Chongyang can go to Nanjing for a walk, broaden his horizons, calm his mood, and come back after a period of time, it is not a good thing.

"The sooner the better, you agree, I'll be ready to leave in the next two days."

Gu Chongyang's eagerness to leave the capital was understandable to Mrs. Cui, especially her sentence "I agreed", which made Mrs. Cui feel intimate.

She nodded and said: "I naturally agree, many people, especially women, have never had the opportunity to go out to see in their lives, you have this heart, how can I stop you?" It's just that you can't be too anxious, pick an auspicious day for the zodiac to go out, I don't worry about you going out alone, I will let your aunt ask if there are any in-laws who have returned to the south, and by the way, I will take you for a ride, so that I can rest assured. ”

Gu Chongyang was moved in his heart and said happily: "Thank you, grandmother." ”

The date is set for seven days later, Gu Chongyang is carrying the ship of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Hua's family, Hua Daren is from Suzhou, his wife and children have been following him in the capital, Mrs. Hua is going back to Suzhou for the New Year this time, and the old lady will also be brought to the capital in the spring next year.

Gu Chongyang and Danxin live in the stern, Mrs. Hua and Miss Hua live in the middle, and the young master of the Hua family lives in the bow.

Xu is the first time to go out by water, Dan Xin is very novel, as soon as he has time, he will stand on the deck to look at the scenery on both sides of the strait, and will tell Gu Chongyang what he has seen and heard outside.

After the ship had been gone for seven or eight days, Dan Xin took out a letter and said with a nervous expression; "Miss, this is a letter from Hao Gongzi to you."

Looking at the envelope written on Chongyang's personal opening, Gu Chongyang didn't reach out to take it.

Before leaving, Gu Chonghua came to see her off, telling her that the queen mother had specially named Zhao Menglan as the county lord, and personally issued a decree to marry Zhao Menglan and Hao Shaoyang, and they were scheduled to marry in a month.

As soon as she thought of this, her heart felt stuffy and panicked, and there was a dull pain.

But things have passed, no matter how sweet she and Hao Shaoyang used to be, it was all in the past. In the future, Hao Shaoyang will marry Zhao Menglan, have children with her, and be fully healthy.

Now that she has decided to let go, she has to break it cleanly.

She doesn't want her husband to think about others, and in the same way, she won't get involved in other people's husbands and meddle in other people's marriages.

"Hao Gongzi has already made a marriage with Miss Zhao, or the queen's mother's personal decree, it is reasonable, I shouldn't have anything to do with him anymore, you don't want to do this kind of private thing in the future." Gu Chongyang said with a cold face: "I won't pursue it this time, if there is a next time, I will definitely not spare it!" ”

With that, she walked out.

Gu Chongyang's voice was also cold, without a trace of temperature, it was the first time since he came to serve by her side that he had seen Gu Chongyang so angry.

Dan Xin also understood that he had done something wrong this time, so he hurriedly put away the letter in his hand, cheered up and followed Gu Chongyang outside.

The weather is very cold, but it is clear and cloudless, the blue sky, and the clear river water make people feel refreshed.

Gu Chongyang looked at the wide water surface and felt that the boredom in his heart was much less.

Suddenly, an angry scolding voice came from the bow of the boat: "Sister Ling, look at what you have done!" ”

There was a burst of laughter like silver bells, followed by the sound of a thump of walking, and a little girl of seven or eight years old, wearing a pink jacket, ran merrily.

She is Miss Huajia, named Hualing, and she is only seven years old this year. The three masters of the Hua family have given birth to eight young masters in a row, and only this one young lady is born with pink carving, so she is particularly favored and is the treasure of the whole family.

"Sister Gu, save me, my brother is going to beat me!"

Hualing ran extremely fast, and ran to Gu Chongyang's side in a few steps, she hid behind Gu Chongyang, poked her head out and stuck out her tongue at the person chasing her.

The person behind him was in a hurry, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, chased in front of him, and saw that it was Gu Chongyang, so he hurriedly stopped his steps and saluted Gu Chongyang: "Miss Gu, the sister is young, so she didn't disturb Miss Gu, right?" ”

It was none other than Hualing's brother Hua Rong, who was fifteen years old this year, wearing a azure straight jacket with dark lines of green bamboo, but unfortunately, the dark lines of the green bamboo were painted with flowers in black ink, which was clearly a child's graffiti, needless to say, it must have been done by Valin.

He chased his sister and didn't expect to bump into Gu Chongyang, who had always been hiding in the cabin, and he was really rude to look like this.

"Hua Gongzi is polite, Sister Ling is innocent and cute, it's too late for me to like it, how can it be bothered."

Gu Chongyang's voice was very good, with snow-white skin and a gentle smile, like a pretty branch flower, Hua Rong's face turned red all of a sudden when he saw it.

Miss Gu is so beautiful, she even looked at herself and smiled, Hua Rong's heart was beating hard, and she wanted to talk to Gu Chongyang, but she didn't know what to say.

Valin hid behind Gu Chongyang, and when he saw his brother's blushing appearance, he coaxed: "Brother, what are you blushing?" ”

How can I blush, you talk nonsense!

Hua Rong wanted to deny it, but his face was hot, and his ears were also hot, so he knew that his face must be red, and he would never admit that he was blushing because he was shy, so he said: "It's a little cold outside, maybe it's blown by the wind." ”

He secretly glanced at Gu Chongyang, and when he saw that her expression was not moving, she was still smiling, so he scolded his sister and said, "Your hands are full of ink, carefully stain Miss Gu's dress, don't come over quickly!" ”

"Brother, the one with the dirty dress is you, why don't you go back and change your clothes soon?" Valin wanted to drive his brother away, so he said without words: "Didn't you just say that you felt cold?" Why don't you go back quickly, does the pestle have any ulterior plans here? ”

When Hua Rong heard this, his face turned even redder, and he flatly denied it: "You are talking nonsense!" I have no ulterior motives! I'm just ...... It's just ......"

A fifteen-year-old boy with a face as red as a piece of cloth. If you want to leave, but you are afraid that you will leave, it will make Gu Chongyang think that he is weak-hearted. I want to explain, but I don't know what to say, and the anxious look is very cute.

Just when Hua Rong was sitting on pins and needles, a maid's voice suddenly came from behind him; "Young Master, Miss Gu, have you seen Miss?"

Hua Rong was relieved, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Sister Ling is hiding behind Miss Gu!" ”

It's okay that he didn't look back, but when he turned around, the maid was stunned for a moment, and then she bent over with a "poof" laugh.

Hua Rong didn't know why: "What are you laughing at?" ”

The maid didn't answer, and Hua Rong turned back to ask Gu Chongyang.

His lips were drawn with a brush by Valin with a mustache, a mustache was also drawn on his chin, two circles were drawn on his two eyes, and a small flower was drawn on his forehead.

Gu Chongyang had been enduring it, but at this moment, the maid was smiling so much that she lost her image, Hua Rong looked at herself with a cute and innocent face, Gu Chongyang couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help laughing.

Her smile was like a flower blooming, indescribably good-looking, and she looked at Hua Rong directly.

Followed by Dan Xin also laughing, Hua Ling also laughed, Hua Rong realized that there was something on his face, wiped it with his hand, and his fingers were black.

Where does he still not understand what others laugh at?

Immediately ashamed and angry, he wanted to go to Valin to settle accounts, it was good that he was not angry, but when he was angry, his face changed his expression, which was more funny, and everyone's laughter was louder.

It turned out that Miss Gu looked at herself and laughed because she was too funny, not ...... Be intentional about yourself. But he was so stupid, standing there and still wanting to talk to Miss Gu......

Hua Rong watched his sister sit on the boat with a smile and roll, her face was red and purple, and she was almost dripping blood, and she stood in a daze for a moment, and then fled.

When he ran, he accidentally slipped and almost fell, and the laughter of the people behind him became even more unscrupulous, and he laughed so much that he was ashamed and angry, and he couldn't wait to jump into the river.

After this little episode, Gu Chongyang's mood was much better.

Along the way, she is no longer just stuffy in the cabin, but occasionally comes out for activities. When Valin became familiar with her, he came to play with her and showed her the results of his pranks. Listening to Valin's joy to show off his achievements, Gu Chongyang could only mourn for Huarong in his heart, with such a living treasure sister, I really don't know whether it is happiness or misfortune.

may feel too embarrassed, Hua Rong did not appear again along the way, and when he arrived in Nanjing, Gu Chongyang thanked Mrs. Hua goodbye, he saw Hua Rong, he blushed, sent Gu Chongyang to the shore, wanted to speak several times, and finally chose to be silent.

Gu Chongyang met his uncle!

She didn't expect her uncle to come to the dock to pick her up in person, and as soon as she saw her, she knelt down: "Chongyang has seen my uncle." ”

Where is the uncle willing to let his niece be like this, before she kneels down, he helped her up, and looked at her with a moving expression: "...... Growing taller and prettier, like your mother...... I don't know how happy she would have been if she lived. ”

Uncle's eyes were shining with water, his voice was a little choked, Gu Chongyang thought of his mother, his heart was sour, and his tears couldn't help but fall.

"Alright, alright! This ferry is windy, Chongyang comes from afar, what do we have to say at home. ”

Gu Chongyang saw his aunt standing on the side, and hurriedly made a big salute to his aunt respectfully, and his aunt hugged her, very embarrassed: "Good boy, we all know what you are doing in the capital, you have suffered, and you will live in Nanjing in the future, with your uncle, aunt and several of your cousins and cousins to support you, no one can bully you anymore!" ”

My aunt is a kind-hearted person and loves her very much, in the previous life, Gu Chongyang always said that my uncle and aunt were regarded as parents, she hugged my aunt's arm and nodded heavily: "Okay, I will listen to my aunt." ”

Seeing Gu Chongyang like this, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought of her deceased sister-in-law.

When he arrived at the Shen family, Gu Chongyang saw his eldest cousin Shen Qian, his second cousin Shen Rang, his eldest cousin Dong, and his cousin Shen Suying.

She greeted everyone familiarly, warmly gave everyone a meeting gift, and the gifts for everyone were just right, and her closeness from the bottom of her heart made everyone like Gu Chongyang in just a few days.

At the end of the year, every household has to buy New Year's supplies, the Shen family's shop is booming, and the uncle is not at home almost every day.

Gu Chongyang wanted to talk to his uncle about King Rong, but he never had the opportunity.

One is that her uncle is too busy, and the other is that she hasn't figured out how to tell her uncle. Even if she told her uncle, would her uncle believe her?

It is already December, and there are not a few days left before the Chinese New Year, which means that Emperor Jianxing will pass away in a month.

In the last life, Emperor Jianxing died in the first month of the next year, and after his death, the crown prince ascended the throne and was the Shunchang Emperor.

Emperor Shunchang gave his two elder brothers, King Fu and King Rong, a feudal land.

King Fu's fief was in Hangzhou, while King Rong's fief was in Chaozhou. Not only that, but he also announced that King Fu had a leg disease and could recuperate in Beijing all the year round, without having to go to the domain. And King Rong must go to Chaozhou immediately.

Chaozhou is a miasma, and Lingnan is a barbarian land, which can be seen by anyone that this is Emperor Shunchang's punishment for King Rong.

But King Rong did not resist and happily went to Chaozhou to become a vassal.

Emperor Shunchang thought that he would send King Rong far away and never have any worries, but he didn't expect that King Rong had already bought off the big eunuchs around him, and going to Chaozhou to become a vassal was not a punishment at all, but just a move by King Rong.

As early as when he failed to seize the throne, King Rong knew that he had no chance to take the throne, so he quietly transferred his power to the south, and went to Chaozhou to suit his wishes.

No one thought that King Rong, who was after the domain, took advantage of the convenience of Fuguang Haishi to control the shipping companies in the Fuguang area to carry out ocean trade, gather money and accumulate a lot of wealth, and laid the foundation for the future rebellion.

Two years later, Emperor Shunchang died of illness, and King Rong went to Beijing to mourn, killed the crown prince, and usurped the throne from his nephew.

Later, Wang Jiulang led the Xiongnu army south, killed King Rong, and established the young son of Emperor Shunchang as emperor. Under the persuasion of Wang Jiulang, the new emperor said that he would not punish the courtiers who took refuge in King Rong and went into exile. However, as soon as Wang Jiulang sat down, the new emperor went on a killing spree and beheaded all the people related to King Rong, and his uncle's family did not escape, even she drank poison. Medicine.

Thinking of this qiē, it all started with the death of Emperor Jianxing and the arrival of King Rong, Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be very anxious.

She had to stop this qiē from happening.

But now that she's just a child, what can she do to gain her uncle's trust? How to stop my uncle from being implicated with King Rong?

Just thinking about this, cousin Shen Su ushered in, she held a burden in her arms, and asked Gu Chongyang with a smile: "Cousin, you have been in Nanjing for a few days, it's time to be bored, do you want me to take you out for a walk today?" ”

"Okay, I've been here since I called, and I haven't gone out yet." Although Gu Chongyang is not a child, he really can't think of a way to deal with it in the room these days, and he may be able to make new discoveries when he goes out for a walk.

"I knew my cousin was bored." Shen Suying opened the baggage, took out a set of men's clothes from it, and handed it to Gu Chongyang: "Quickly change it on, and the two of us will sneak out of the back door later." ”

Yes! It turned out that he went out with the people in his family behind his back, but he didn't expect Cousin Su Ying to be so naughty and playful when she was a child.

Gu Chongyang was a little moved, but he also knew that he and Shen Suying didn't look like men even if they wore men's clothes, and at the end of the year, the streets were crowded, and it would be bad if something happened.

She immediately said, "No! Cousin Su Ying, there are too many people outside, if you want to go out, it's best to tell your aunt, I don't dare to do such a sneak out. ”

Shen Suying's face drooped when he heard this: "Since you don't go, then I'll go by myself." ”

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Shen's displeased voice came from the door: "Su Ying, you are too nonsense." You want to go out to play by yourself, and you even pull your Chongyang cousin, and then there are so many people, what if you collide? You're not too young, why are you still so nonsense? Look at Chongyang, you are a year younger, and you are much calmer than you in speaking and doing things. ”

Before the words fell, Mrs. Shen and the second young master Shen Rang walked in.

Shen Suying looked resentful, and Shen Rang smiled teasingly, looking proud.

Shen Suying glared at him fiercely.

Mrs. Shen said to Gu Chongyang gently: "Chongyang, you are really a sensible child, if Su Ying is half as sensible as you, I don't know how much worry I can save." Tomorrow our family will give porridge on Chengnan Street, and I will take you out for a walk then. ”

"Thank you aunt for your kindness, in fact, I really want to go out for a walk, even if my cousin doesn't come to me, I also want to go out with my cousin."

Shen Su listened and gave Gu Chongyang a satisfied look.

Mrs. Shen said: "I know that the child I gave birth to myself knows that she is so ignorant, and she will not let her go tomorrow when she is porridge." ”

Shen Suying was shocked and came up to hug Mrs. Shen: "How can this work?" I go every year, why don't you let me go this year? Mother, can't you have a Chongyang cousin and not hurt me? ”

She said as she grabbed Mrs. Shen's arm and shook it.

Shen Rang said: "Mother, don't let your sister be deceived, she is coquettish like this every time." ”

Shen Suying listened, glared at his brother angrily, and continued to plead in Mrs. Shen's arms.

Gu Chongyang also helped intercede: "Uncle, you just let the third cousin go, I am the same age as the third cousin, and with her by my side, I don't feel lonely." ”

Actually, Gu Chongyang knew that his aunt was just scaring his cousin when he said this.

Mrs. Shen made a helpless look: "For the sake of your cousin Chongyang's face, I will agree with you to go." But you are not allowed to mess around tomorrow, you must take care of your Chongyang cousin and set a good example for her, otherwise I will send you back immediately. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Suying hurriedly promised: "I will definitely take care of my cousin Chongyang, and I will be obedient." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Shen Rang provocatively.

Shen Rang was not to be outdone: "Mother, there is still me." With me here, I will protect my cousin Chongyang and promise not to let her be hurt in the slightest. ”

Shen Suying snorted through his nostrils.

Gu Chongyang burst out laughing, but he didn't expect Cousin Su Ying and Cousin Rang to be arguing like before, and they didn't change at all.

Her heart was warm, and she felt that this qiē was really good. She must maintain the good fortune she is now having.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Gu Chongyang went out with the Shen family.

The Shen family will give porridge almost every year, and this year's heavy snow in Nanjing has overwhelmed many houses, and there are many more poor people in the relief hall than in previous years, and the Shen family attaches more importance to it than before. In addition to the pregnant eldest cousin Dong and the little nephew Niu Niu, the Shen family all went to the porridge shed in the south of the city to give porridge.

The farther you go south of the city, the more beggars and poor people there are on the streets.

A lot of porridge shacks were erected on the street of the relief hall.

said that he was going to give porridge, but he was just watching from the side of the porridge shed, and it was naturally the servant women at home who really served porridge to the poor.

To the left of the Shen family is the porridge shed of the Dou family, the prefect of Nanjing. The second young master of the Dou family was arranging soup porridge, and when he saw the Shen family, he hurriedly stepped forward to speak.

"I've seen my uncle and aunt."

Shen Yucheng smiled: "It turned out to be the second young master, has the prefect been busy recently?" ”

"This year, there was a sudden heavy snowfall in Nanjing, which overwhelmed many private houses, and there were many new poor people pouring in every day in the relief hall, and my father was very busy, so I couldn't come to the soup kitchen in person this year."

A few days ago, the prefect Lord Dou also went to the Shen family to ask the Shen family to take the lead in donating money to help the poor, and Shen Yucheng also knew that Lord Dou was very busy, so he nodded.

Mrs. Shen is more concerned about her daughter: "The in-laws should be better, right?" ”

It turned out that the eldest lady of the Shen family was married to the eldest young master of the prefect Dou's family, and the Shen family and the Dou family were in-laws. A few days ago, the prefect's wife was sick, and the eldest lady Shen Su'e was sick at the bedside and never returned to her parents' house.

Second Young Master Dou's eyes turned on Gu Chongyang, revealing a look of amazement, and he said to Mrs. Shen with a smile: "Thank you aunt for your concern, my mother's body is much better than before, but there are many things to do in the new year, and I can't be tired, so the things that preside over the middle feed are handed over to the sister-in-law." The mother said that at present, the family is inseparable from the sister-in-law, and when the New Year is over, she will let the eldest brother and sister-in-law lead Zhaodi to greet her uncle and aunt for the New Year. ”

After speaking, his eyes fell on Gu Chongyang quietly.
