Chapter 316: Family Affairs

Previous Chapter

Perhaps it was this cold world that infected Chen Xuejiao, she listened to Gu Siyuan's memories of her mother, xt full works download

She couldn't help but think of herself in her previous life, when she also loved someone wholeheartedly, but as a result, she was ruthlessly betrayed, and the whole world knew that she was sentenced out of the game without knowing it.

She thought of Grandma Dingfu again, facing a room of warblers and warblers, those eyes that were like dry wells, without desire, all of them were accusing Uncle Dingfu of mentally torturing her and turning over the reborn concubine Read the full text.

From the moment she was hit by a car and opened her eyes again, she vowed in her heart that she would live a new life, she must live for herself, and she would never entrust her feelings to a man again.

 ≤←,↙.co≌m;

Unable to find a man who treats her wholeheartedly, she would rather be celibate than marry. Although most women in this society are dependent on men, women who are separated from men can live just as well. Just like the female workers in their embroidery workshop, they got rid of the control of men, and although their lives were hard, they relied on their own hands to live freely.

Just like Lan Niang, when they first met, she was dark and thin, a sad face was full of clouds, and now Lan Niang, who has lived in the embroidery workshop for more than half a year, not only regained her brilliance, but more importantly, she was full of self-confidence, such Lan Niang was like a brilliant and dazzling bead, even more vivid than the daughter who was not out of the cabinet.

Chen Xuejiao thought that with her current family background, her future is not good, and she will not be able to fall into the same situation as Lan Niang. But no matter what, Chen Xuejiao has to firmly grasp her fate in her own hands, and she can't tolerate a little bullying from others.

Think of it this way. Chen Xuejiao clenched her fists.

It was dark early, as if it was a moment of effort. And the sun went down.

The evening wind blew in gusts, and the wind howled in the Merlin. The snow on the branches was scraped down one by one, scattered and flying, and the snow foam fell on Chen Xuejiao's eyelashes, Chen Xuejiao blinked, and the snow was firmly stuck and did not move.

Gu Siyuan stood on the side, and when he saw the snow beads on Chen Xuejiao's eyelashes, he felt more and more that her two rows of eyelashes trembled slightly like a fan, and he even wanted to reach out and brush the snow beads down.

After all, he didn't reach out.

If so, she's younger. As small as Chen Qiping, maybe he reached out to help her brush the snowflakes off her shoulders, eyebrows, and eyelashes.

The two of them had their own thoughts, standing quietly by the plum forest, and a row of green plums in front of them was reflected in a field of red plums, like a little green in the red. The fragrant plum fragrance, accompanied by the wind, is sent into the nasal cavity one by one, and the whole person seems to be immersed in the plum fragrance.

"Alas!" Chen Xuejiao remembered the past. I couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?" Gu Siyuan looked at Chen Xuejiao with a smile, and only felt cute when he saw her frowning, "Did I just tell you something that made you feel very bored." ”

"Nope. I just sighed, it's not easy to be a woman, especially from a big family like you. Men have a group of wives and concubines at home, and they have to raise warblers and swallows outside. How did those righteous wives get their self-cultivation, if it were me? 800 I have to carry a knife and cut it over, if I am not happy, others will not be able to let it go, why should I lose my life. Chen Xuejiao spread out her hands and told her own opinions.

She is not ashamed, a girl who has not left the cabinet, it is natural to say these words, and she does not feel embarrassed at all.

Gu Siyuan's heart was shocked, and the sad face of his mother appeared in front of him. If my mother had such thoughts, she would not have left so early. Although her mother was born in a business, the ideas she could accept since she was a child were the same as those of ordinary urban people, and she was married to her husband at home, and when she encountered those bad things, she put it in her heart alone and fought against it, but she was bound to death by such a big rule as the Gu family.

Gu Siyuan was in a trance for a while, the blood spurted out by his mother when she was dying stained the sheets of a hundred birds and a phoenix, now that she thinks about it, her mother is not like a phoenix bird on the sheet, looking at the flowers, a group of scenery, but after all, she was nailed to the top, and she couldn't fly away if she wanted to, so she could only leave a lifetime of sadness.

Looking at Chen Xuejiao's resolute eyes, Gu Siyuan's heart seemed to be touched.

When he was young, he saw a lot of his mother's tears, and once swore that he was only willing to marry a wife in this life, and would not take a concubine, even if it was for the interests of the family, he was not willing to take a concubine and spoil him.

When I think of my father, I am afraid that I don't care about my mother's filial piety, so I am entangled with that childhood sweetheart, and my heart is like swallowing thousands of flies, and I feel disgusted.

The mother died in Jinzhou, and there was no director in the courtyard at that time, and it was the uncle and aunt who came forward to arrange the funeral from Jinzhou. Uncle loves his mother very much, and when his mother swallowed his breath, he chased him to Gu's mansion to ask for an explanation, and Gu Siyuan's father fell and regretted it, and even knelt in the mourning hall in white clothes every day, saying something regretting that he couldn't grow old with his head in vain, regretting that he wanted to raise his childhood sweetheart into a flat wife, and suddenly abandoned his heart and liver in his hands with enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

But this is just a temporary thing, after his mother was buried, his sadness passed, and he naturally regarded the childhood sweetheart as a baby, begging the old lady to say something, she was also born in brocade clothes and jade food, but the family was in trouble, so she was not a lowly citizen, and if she was carried into the Gu Mansion, it would not be humiliating.

The old lady loves her youngest son the most, thinking that her daughter-in-law has already gone west anyway, and she will bring it in, but she can't be a wife, she can only be a concubine. The childhood sweetheart has been making trouble for so long, and she has worked hard to get the position of the wife, and when the concubine is naturally unwilling, she cried and went to the door to beg the old lady, what to say, she is also an old lady watching her grow up, if it weren't for the family idleness, where would it have come to this point.

Gu Siyuan looked at it coldly, if he hadn't seen his mother's death with his own eyes, he wouldn't have hated it so much. So he was ruthless and attacked his father: "My father is willing to carry her in, but I don't know if the Queen Mother agrees, why is this slut's family suffering?" It's not because it was involved in the rebellion, my father was with the daughter of the criminal official, and it was rumored that the queen mother's face was ugly or good-looking, presumably my father naturally had a sense of proportion in his heart. I will enter the palace tomorrow and tell the Queen Mother about this matter clearly, if she is approved. The child did not say a word. ”

Gu San's old man couldn't lift it in his breath, he originally raised his childhood sweetheart outside. is hiding from the Queen Mother, if she knows. I don't know what it looks like, although the Queen Mother is his aunt, she won't allow him to mess around like this.

The old lady of the Gu family patronized her distressed son, but she forgot about the queen mother, and when she figured it out, she beat the cheap family out, and stipulated that she would never be allowed to enter the gate of the Gu family. This matter couldn't be stopped, Gu Siyuan stabbed all the way to his grandfather, and the old lady of the Gu family had already retired from the imperial court. Playing chess and walking birds every day, I suddenly heard my youngest son messing around like this, and he couldn't get along with the daughter of the former offender, so he called over and reprimanded him.

Gu Siyuan's uncle wanted to make trouble, tossed away a sister in vain, and asked an official prostitute to enter the door.

"We are merchants, but we don't know that your Houmen family has such a rule, don't let the wife go, and carry a fireworks woman as a wife." At the words, the Gu family felt greatly humiliated.

But it can't be helped. Who let Master Gu San do it himself.

The old lady of the Gu family wants to be faceless all her life, and has always adhered to the demeanor of the family, and her only sister is the queen mother, and the wind and waves have come. He resigned as many opportunities as he had, for fear of holding the queen mother's hind legs. I don't think so. When he is old, he is old, and his youngest son has reached the age of standing and caused such a disaster. If he was caught by the imperial history, he went to his nephew emperor and participated in it. How can the Queen Mother's face be hung up. After thinking about it, he personally wrote a letter, entrusted his protégé, and changed the performance of Gu San as an official from the first class to the last class. In this way, he cut off his financial route, and stipulated that the government was not allowed to give him silver, so that he would see what kind of silver he took to raise the outer room.

Only then did Master Gu San know that he regretted it, he was an official for only a few silver, don't look at the queen mother at the head of the family, and there are parents at the bottom, but there is not much silver in his hand. The expenses in his house are like water, all of them are Gu Siyuan's mother's rich dowry, he just wanted to open the box and get the silver ticket, and the brother-in-law called in and sneered in front of the Gu Mansion: "Brother-in-law, since my sister is gone, the things on this dowry list still need to be checked, and I can seal it up for my nephew, and when he marries his daughter-in-law and becomes a family, I will send these things over to his daughter-in-law to take care of." ”

This is indeed something that no one in the Gu family can stop, and as soon as the dowry list comes out, everyone smacks their lips. The Gu family is rich, but the focus is on a noble word, if you say rich, there is really not much silver, and those antiques and rewards cannot be exchanged for money. And Gu Siyuan's grandfather is indeed a real imperial businessman, holding a lot of snowflake silver in his hand. The shop, land deed, house deed, and cash on the dowry list, it is the first time I have seen it in the house, and everyone sighs, no wonder Gu San's grandmother is generous, so she gets a dowry, even if she eats her grandson, she can't eat it for a lifetime.

Otherwise, a wealthy family like the Gu family would not marry his grandfather's family and return to the latest chapter of the seventeen-year-old. At that time, the emperor, who was still a prince, ascended the throne and needed strong financial support, so Mrs. Gu sacrificed his three sons for his sister and nephew, so that he married a merchant with strong financial resources.

Without the Gu family's hands, Gu Siyuan's uncle brought his henchmen and sorted out all kinds of things in the house, even the mirror frame inlaid with gold and silver at the back of the door, which was stored in one go and transported home.

Master Gu San was so angry that he hated Mrs. for calculating himself until she died.

Before Gu San's grandmother died, she asked the steward to transcribe a copy of the dowry list and send it to her brother, otherwise these things might go into Gu San's private treasury.

Thinking that his mother was planning for himself until she died, Gu Siyuan couldn't help but wet the corners of his eyes.

Grandmother made a big fuss about the Gu Mansion for her uncle, and even complained about him. Escorting Master Qin to his hometown halfway through, he got the news that his father was suspended from duty to guard his wife's funeral, and he left the Gu Mansion the next day, not knowing where he went.

Come to think of it, it's for the sake of that cheap person to make such a fuss. Gu Siyuan sneered, he originally wanted to stay here for a few more days, living in the mud, playing the flute in the plum forest every day, or going out to contact the simple villagers, all of which made him leave all his troubles behind.

I went back in two days, and I don't know what it would be like to return home.

The sky gradually became foggy, and Chen Xuejiao returned home with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Li has already cooked a meal, the New Year is not to invite their own wine, or to go to other people's houses to eat wine, chicken, duck and fish have long been tired of eating, it is easy to get a day of free time, Li made a few good dishes, of course, those dishes are light and refreshing taste.

Chen Xuejiao drank two bowls of porridge and ate half a bowl of side dishes, and when she thought of Gu Siyuan's matter, she couldn't help but sigh: "...... I think it's not so good to come to a big family, or it's much better for us to be a small family. ”

"But no, your grandmother is vicious, but the viciousness is on the surface, I heard that those big families will put people to death when they fight." Li babbled.

"Xue Jiao, even if our family is developed in the future, my mother only plans to marry you into a small family, such a family life is really good, and there is not much to do." Lee said.

Chen Xuejiao smiled and deliberately pretended to be shy.

However, she didn't think that way in her heart, marrying into a small family also has the trouble of a small family, she never believed that a man from a small family is much simpler than a man from a big family, and he is much more single-minded. She had heard that in the village next door to her grandmother's house, there were many villagers, and after beating an extra stone of rice, they took a concubine.

Although this kind of behavior is not common in the villagers, at least it rarely occurs in Maoshan Village, but it does not mean that there is none.

In the end, it depends not on what kind of family you marry into, but on having enough ability.

Chen Xuejiao made up her mind that she would participate in her family's business, even if it was to have a strong support in the future. In one, if there is a brother who is an official in the family, the woman will not be bullied by her in-laws at will.

Don't talk about it, just say that Gu Siyuan's mother is despised by the Gu family, and the reason why her mother's family is a simple merchant has a lot to do with it.

There is no way, this is the limitation of the whole era, Chen Xuejiao thinks that she has no ability to change, but she is willing to find a way to solve it.

Today, Chen Xuejiao thought more than ever before, and she tossed and turned in bed until midnight before falling asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark. I got up early in the morning every day these days, and I didn't sleep well last night, Chen Xuejiao was really tired, and I thought that I wouldn't go to eat or drink today anyway, so I didn't have a treat, so I might as well sleep for more hours.

Before she could retract her head into the quilt, she heard Gu Siyuan's voice outside, and the voice of him saying goodbye to the Li family was faintly heard. (To be continued......)
