Chapter 11: Old Dreams (1)
The shallow cloud residence, which has been silent for a long time, is particularly lively today.
Gu Shi sat at the head of the bed half-leaning and half-leaning, and his thin and pale cheeks had a rare trace of blood.
Miss Gu Si sat on the edge of the bed gently and considerately, Ji Yu smiled at the corner of her lips, and Ji Yu, who rarely came to Qianyunju, also showed her face. Xu Jinyu sat beside Ji Yu.
Several girls have their own characteristics.
Gu Caiping is beautiful and lovely, Ji Yu is cold and elegant, Ji Yu is pretty and bright, and Xu Jinyu is gentle and beautiful.
At a glance, Ji Yu's appearance is the most eye-catching, but Xu Jinyu is the most attractive. The clear and beautiful eyes have a calmness that is rare for their peers, and the light smile on their lips makes people feel like a spring breeze.
When the women get together, talk about some jewelry and clothing, or talk about some gossip about the noble family, it is enough to pass the time.
Ji Yu deliberately showed off in front of Xu Jinyu, a "dirt bun", and said very hard, glancing at Xu Jinyu from time to time.
Xu Jinyu was in the capital for more than ten years in her previous life, and what she said to Ji Yu was almost like a treasure. pretended to be amazed, which greatly satisfied Ji Yu's vanity.
Gu Caiping and Ji Yu don't have much contact on weekdays, but because of the relationship between the Gu family, they are more close.
"Sister Yu's wedding date is coming soon!" Gu Caiping asked curiously.
Ji Yu was not shy when she mentioned her family affairs: "It's set for the fourth day of June, and there are still more than three months." ”
Gu Caiping smiled and quipped: "The girl to be married should be busy embroidering the dowry, but you are very leisurely every day." ”
Ji Yu smiled faintly, but didn't explain anything.
Her family affairs have long been decided, and she is Li Rui, the second son of Li Shangshu of the Criminal Department. was supposed to get married last year, but it happened that Li Rui's grandfather passed away. Li Rui needed to keep filial piety for a year, and the marriage had to be postponed for a year. This matter is not a secret, and there are not a few people who know about it.
Everyone in the Hou Mansion knew Miss Ji Er's temper, and no one would mention this matter when they were idle, so as not to make Ji Yu unhappy. Gu Caiping didn't know this, so he rashly mentioned it.
Ji Yu has always been at odds with Ji Yu, so she just took the opportunity to block Ji Yu: "Fourth Sister Gu doesn't know. The second sister's dowry was prepared as early as last year, but unfortunately the marriage was delayed by a year. The second sister doesn't need to embroider the dowry, so she is naturally leisurely. ”
Ji Yu's expression turned cold.
Gu Caiping realized this, secretly annoyed that he had said the wrong thing, and said with a wry smile: "So that's the case." Hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, it's been the third day since I came to the Hou Mansion, and I haven't seen my brother-in-law." Does he rarely go home on weekdays? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were very subtle.
A girl who has not left the cabinet opens her mouth to ask her brother-in-law's whereabouts
No wonder Gu Caiping failed to get his wish in his previous life. With this dim sum machine, how can he fight the shrewd and ruthless little Zou?
Xu Jinyu glanced at Gu silently.
The smile in Gu's eyes faded a little, but his voice was very calm: "Most of the princes stay in the military camp and only return to the house for one day every half a month. Count the days, it's time to come back today. ”
Ji Yu looked down on Gu Caiping from the bottom of her heart, and said with a smile: "Fourth Sister Gu and sister-in-law are really sisters, and they actually help sister-in-law care about the whereabouts of the eldest brother. ”
That's a harsh statement.
Gu Caiping was so hot behind her ears that she almost didn't dare to look at Gu, and she didn't know what she had said.
Xu Jinyu's warm and pleasant voice sounded: "My cousin-in-law is lying in bed all day, and Fourth Sister Gu is also distressed about my cousin-in-law, so she will specifically ask when my cousin will return home." ”
Gu Caiping didn't expect Xu Jinyu to relieve her, and glanced at Xu Jinyu gratefully.
Xu Jinyu returned a kind smile. Gu Caiping is determined to win the position of the concubine of Weining Hou, in this life, she will no longer compete with Gu Caiping, and she can't wait to give it to Gu Caiping with both hands.
The topic was quickly pulled away.
Gu Caiping quickly recovered as usual, but he spoke much more carefully.
Gu didn't have much strength to speak, and most of the time he only listened with a smile. With so many people accompanying him, Gu's mood today was not bad, and he sat for more than an hour before showing his tired face.
Xu Jinyu was the most careful, and was the first to notice the tiredness between Gu's eyebrows: "We have been here for so long, disturbing my cousin-in-law to rest." ”
As soon as Xu Jinyu reminded her, Ji Yu and the others also noticed Gu's strangeness, and got up to say goodbye.
Gu Shi cheered up and smiled: "It's okay for you to sit for a while, I stay in bed all day, and it makes no difference if I sit and lie down." With a few of you by my side, I'm in a much better mood than usual. ”
Ji Yu smiled: "Sister-in-law likes us to accompany her, let's come back tomorrow." I've been staying long enough today, so I still don't bother my sister-in-law. ”
Gu Shi no longer forced to stay, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you are free, come back tomorrow." Fourth sister, you send one for me, second sister and third sister Jin. ”
Gu Caiping responded with a smile and got up to see Xu Jinyu and the others.
Before everyone could raise their feet, Biluo came in with a smile and reported: "Qi Qi princess, the prince is back." ”
The prince is back?!
Gu Caiping's heart was pounding, lest others find out what was wrong, so he hurriedly lowered his head.
When Gu heard that her husband was back, she didn't have much joy, and replied lightly: "I know." After a pause, he said: "I'm not physically convenient, so I won't get out of bed to welcome the world." It is rare for the prince to return home, and the fourth sister and cousin Jin just wait for a moment to see each other. ”
Xu Jinyu resisted the urge to leave, ordered herself to smile in response, and quietly clenched her hands in her sleeves
After a cup of tea, a young man appeared in front of everyone.
The young man, about twenty-four or five years old, wore a royal blue brocade robe, a high-quality jade pendant tied around his waist, and a jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand. A pair of slightly narrow eyes are deep and beautiful, and the thin lips are slightly hooked.
He has a long figure, a handsome appearance, and a graceful demeanor, exuding the charm of a mature man and the graceful bearing of a noble son. It is enough to make the hearts of all the young girls in Huaichun pound.
This young man is the Hou Shizi of Weining, the husband of the Gu family, Ji Ze.
Gu Caiping quietly raised her eyes and glanced at it, and her pretty face was quietly dyed red.
Xu Jinyu's face also flew two flushes, but it was not because of shyness. The blood in his chest was surging endlessly, and he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood raw.
It's this man who ruined her life!
In her previous life, she must have been blind and fell in love at first sight with this man who was different from the outside. For this, she paid a terrible price
After Gu's death, Ji Ze had to keep filial piety for his deceased wife for a year before he could continue the string. She lived in the Hou Mansion, and a wisp of girlish affection was tied to Ji Ze's body. Xiao Zou peeked into her mind and privately discussed with Zou to let her marry Ji Ze to fill the house.
Ji Ze is young and ambitious, and his appearance and family background are thousands of miles away. The Gu family did not leave any bloodline, if she married Ji Ze, the children she gave birth to in the future would be serious descendants.
Zou listened to the heart, and asked her privately if she was willing, she was carried away by the joy, and agreed without much thought.
Xiao Zou did not make a formal decision on the grounds that Gu's death was less than a year old. Full of joy, she already sees Ji Ze as a lover to rely on for life. When Ji Ze secretly ordered someone to send a message to invite her to meet at the rockery under the moon, although she felt that it was inappropriate to meet in private, she still went to the appointment with excitement and apprehension.
That night, the moonlight was like a flower.
He stood in the hibiscus bush next to the rockery with a smile, his face was handsome, his eyes showed a trace of affection, he gently held her hand and called out to Jinniang.
Her whole body was inexplicably hot and unbearable, and she couldn't help herself into his arms.
Her clothes were messily thrown by the flowers, her delicate skin was cut by the branches, and the confusion was mixed with pain and confusion, and the noisy footsteps sounded.
Then, there was the panicked voice of the Zou family, and the angry rebuke of the little Zou family.
She was too ashamed to look up at anyone. The woman who has not yet left the cabinet has lost her chastity, or she took the initiative to throw herself into her arms, which ruined all her reputation and honor. She hid in her boudoir and washed her face with tears.
Zou was sick with anger, and his brother Xu Zheng was distressed and angry, and he questioned Ji Ze with a blue face. I don't know what I said in private, when Xu Zheng came back, his expression was already calm, and he said to her who was red and swollen and crying hoarsely: "Sister, don't worry, Ji Ze will marry you." ”
Xiao Zou also came immediately: "Jin Niang, I have strictly ordered my subordinates not to spread the news of that day, and you and the prince also need to do their best to get married." With my aunt here, I will never let you be wronged. ”
She was grateful and moved when she heard the words.
Xiao Zou took pity on her frailty, and specially ordered someone to boil a tonic and send it.
A month later, Gu died of illness for a full year. She also married Ji Ze and became his wife.
On the night of the candles in the cave room, she sat nervously on the edge of the bed for half the night with a red hijab on her head, and then waited for her husband. After lifting the hijab, the handsome face that attracted the eyes was not at all happy, and the narrow eyes were unusually cold, with a contemptuous sneer.
Her heart was like falling into an ice cellar, mixed with endless grievances and sourness.
She couldn't figure out how her always dignified and polite self could do such a thing. That night, she was like a demon, but no matter what, he was the one who ruined her innocence. Why did he look at her with such disdain?
He didn't touch half a finger of her, and left the new house in the middle of the night, nowhere to be found.
She wept alone until dawn.
Before dawn on the second day, he came back, and did not look at her directly, but said coldly: "I rested in your house last night, and now I will go and make tea for my mother." The first sentence warned her not to tell her about his departure in the middle of the night, but the latter sentence clearly told her not to show anything strange in front of people.
The man who smiled gently and lightly that night was just a dream.
She knelt in front of the smiling and particularly charming little Zou and offered her daughter-in-law's tea.
