The fourth girl of the Gu family is named Qingrao, and she is the concubine of the big house of the Marquis of Dingyuan. Her biological mother was originally the dowry maid of the eldest lady Zhaocheng County Lord, and she died of illness when Gu Qingrao was eight years old.

The eldest lady has only one daughter, Gu Qingshu, who was married last spring, and her husband's family is one of the four founding princes of the country. Gu Qingshu married Deng Minggu, the eldest grandson of the Deng family in the Zhenguo Mansion.

The eldest lady may be empathetic, or maybe Gu Qingrao's biological mother is not in the way of her eyes. In the past two years, she has been very good to Gu Qingrao.

Gu Qingrao was originally a pampered and arrogant character, when Gu Qingshu was not yet married, she acted very coquettishly, and ate a lot of Gu Qingwan's ranks. Now that she has gained power, she dares to compete with Gu Qingwan. looked down on the other concubines in the house, and Su Rili only made friends with Gu Qingyan, the fifth girl who was on the left and right.

"Third sister, are you better? I heard that you were seriously ill, and I wanted to come and see you for a long time, but the old lady always didn't let go. Before Gu Qingyan could speak, tears fell, "If the third sister of Zhilu Dao would do such a stupid thing, I would have dissuaded the third sister from saying anything at the beginning, and it was all my sister's fault." ”

Saying that, he actually lay on the side of Gu Qingwan's bed and cried.

Gu Qingwan remembered what happened in Huaiwang's Mansion that day, and she felt a splitting headache.

The county lord of Zhaocheng is the sister of King Huai, and they are still close to the Marquis of Huai's Mansion and the Huaiwang Mansion, so every time there is a banquet in the Huaiwang Mansion, they will give the Yuanhou Mansion a post.

Two months ago, it was the eldest lady and the second lady Xiaosun who took Gu Qingwan and Gu Qingyan, the two girls from the concubine, and Gu Qingrao, a girl raised under the name of her mother, to the Huaiwang Mansion for a banquet. Gu Qingyan said that the flowers in the plum garden were blooming very well, so she dragged Gu Qingwan to the plum garden to enjoy the flowers, and the piece of paper was sent by a little maid.

At that time, after Gu Qingyan saw it, she exclaimed, "Isn't this the poem that the son of the Xie family wrote in Yimingxuan today." Gu Qingwan doesn't like any poems and words, and she naturally wants to avoid the fighting poems in Yi Mingxuan.

If it weren't for Gu Qingyan's suggestion, Gu Qingwan would not have asked for verification in many ways, let alone be ecstatic after learning that this was Xie Ziran's note. Poor her dream was ruined after only two months. If it weren't for the Gu family's thinking that there were still a few unmarried girls behind her, and doing everything possible to prevent the matter from getting out, she would have become a big joke in Beijing in the future.

Gu Qingwan squinted her eyes and glanced at Gu Qingyan, she was not the original owner who had her mind to the end, so she could naturally connect many things from these broken memories.

It's just that no matter what, Gu Qingwan's reputation has been ruined, and it will have a lot of impact on Gu Qingyan who is still waiting to be written. In her memory, Gu Qingyan was not stupid, and there was no reason to do things that hurt others and herself.

Was she too suspicious, suspicious of Gu Qingyan, or was there some other reason?

Seeing that Gu Qingwan didn't speak for a long time, just watched Gu Qingyan crying, the fourth girl Gu Qingrao who was standing on the side couldn't help it: "Fifth sister, she brought us with her, why do you protect her." Gu Qingrao said and sneered, "Let me say, if you did something like this, if you didn't hit your head to death at that time, you should have wracked your head and sent it to the family temple, and what are you doing to stay here with a dead face and be embarrassed?" ”

Before Gu Qingwan could speak, Gu Qingyan stood up with a "Teng" sound, and said while wiping her tears: "The fourth sister has said this, the third sister is the third sister who is close to each other, and she is still my sister." In the future, I don't want to hear the fourth sister say this again, hurting each other's feelings. ”

"You are a good person like the second aunt, but you don't know how to talk back when you are bullied to death, and the second aunt was seriously ill by her a few months ago. I finally recuperated a little, but now I am sick again, haven't you and your second aunt tolerated her enough over the years? Gu Qingrao turned to stare at Gu Qingwan, with obvious anger in her eyes, "Look at yourself, arrogant and domineering, you don't know how to be polite, how could the uncle of the Xie family look down on you?" You have to have a degree of affection! ”

Gu Qingwan listened to Gu Qingrao's words, and her heart tingled. But she didn't even see what Uncle Xie looked like, and now she was afraid that it was the potential reaction of these three girls.

Gu Qingwan tugged at the corners of her lips and brought out a sneer.

In her previous life, her parents died in a car accident when she was fifteen years old, and she was protected by her mother at that time, so she survived, but her brain was also severely damaged. All she was left with was a large inheritance and compensation.

The relatives in the family fought for the inheritance, but they did not take her custody as a matter.

She still remembers that she was still in the intensive care unit at that time, through a thick wall of glass, watching her relatives who used to cherish her compete and even fight.

After she was completely well, her relatives finally discussed a plan. The inheritance and compensation left to her by her parents were divided into four parts, which were held jointly by the four relatives of her parents, and she changed her place of residence every three months.

She was too young and overly sad at the time, so it was naturally impossible to pay attention to such a thing. However, after becoming an adult, the remaining inheritance is only half of the original, not to mention, those relatives do everything possible to drag it out, only to know that Lu Dao is crying poor in front of her.

Either the business failed and he was in debt, or the family had to support his children to study and go abroad, or he bought a house and a car for his son. For more than ten years, she has seen enough, and naturally she is not comparable to the third girl, a little girl raised in a deep boudoir.

Now Gu Qingrao's sarcasm in the dark, Gu Qingyan's tears and fake maintenance, she has listened to and seen a lot, and now she can only get her a sneer at most.

The Gu family girl and the young master are ranked separately, Gu Qingyan is the fifth, and she is Gu Qingwan's half-sister.

Back then, Gu Qingwan's biological mother He died of a blood collapse when she gave birth to the second master Gu Cunke, and before Gu Cunke was full moon, the old lady made the decision to let the second master marry her niece Xiaosun as the successor. After the little Sun family entered the mansion, she became pregnant in less than half a month, and gave birth to a pair of twins early, namely Gu Qingyan and the fourth master Gu Cunzhang.

Although I don't know if it was Gu Qingyan's handiwork that Lu Dao designed to frame Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingyan couldn't escape the involvement after all, it was the little Sun family that the fourth girl Gu Qingrao said, and all Gu Qingwan remembered was the tears that she shed at every turn.

It stands to reason that when Xiao Sun's entered the door, Gu Qingwan was still young, and if she was put in Xiao Sun's house to raise, she would naturally be able to raise her. It's just that Xiao Sun's got pregnant within a month, and after the confinement, they have to take care of their own children, so Gu Qingwan and Gu Cunke can only be handed over to the nurse to raise.

This nurse is the person next to Gu Qingwan's mother, He's family, and what she has said in Gu Qingwan's ears since she was a child is how vicious the little Sun family is, Gu Qingwan is very disdainful of this little Sun who replaced her biological mother. In addition, her temperament has been pampered since she was a child, and Xiao Sun's family always tolerates her, even if she makes a big mistake, she protects her, so Gu Qingwan is becoming more and more domineering.

So much so that he is now over fifteen years old, but he still hasn't decided on a marriage, just because no one asks to marry.

Gu Qingwan speculated in her heart that Xiao Sun's behavior was tantamount to killing.

arrogantly indulged Gu Qingwan's temperament and tolerated Gu Qingwan's behavior in every way, not only killing Gu Qingwan and making her notoriety, but also winning a lot of sympathy for Xiao Sun's family. At least this family must be in charge of Zhaocheng County, Mrs. Hou, and it is not the turn of Xiao Sun to take charge of the family, so her style naturally does not need to be too hard.

In Gu Qingwan's memory, Xiao Sun's appearance was delicate and soft, and his temper was also very docile. When the whole family talked about Xiao Sun's coming, they all praised it. Holding the little Sun family, he naturally had to step on the arrogant third girl Gu Qingwan.

"The fourth sister and the fifth sister came to me today, but just to say this?" Gu Qingwan looked at Gu Qingyan coldly, and the word "deliberately" was very important.

Although she is a little shorter than Gu Qingrao and Gu Qingyan when she sits on the kang, she has a domineering tendency. It's like watching a very unsightly performance, with disdain between the eyebrows.

Rao is Gu Qingyan thinks that her cultivation is very good, or is Gu Qingwan looking at a burst of anger. But there was nothing wrong with Gu Qingwan's words, Gu Qingyan could only keep calming the anger in her heart: "The third sister really still has resentment against me in her heart, if I didn't talk too much, the third sister wouldn't ......"

said that another string of tears came down, but it was like the little Sun in his memory.

Gu Qingrao had already been stirred up by Gu Qingwan: "It's a shame that the fifth sister has begged for a long time before the old lady can relax, let us come and see you." The beginning of spring is when the second sister leaves the pavilion, and if the third sister's temperament does not change, I am afraid that the second sister will still be locked up in this Yuanxiang Pavilion when she leaves the pavilion. ”

This sentence is a threat to Gu Qingwan. If she still didn't know the current affairs, they could go to the old lady and say a few words, such a cusp, there would be no good fruit for Gu Qingwan to eat.

"The young and the old are orderly, the concubines are different, before the fourth sister speaks, you have to think clearly." Gu Qingwan glanced at Gu Qingyan who was standing aside, and saw that her face was surprised and uneasy, so she said with a cold face, "The old lady asked me to copy the "Family Motto", and today I happened to copy this article of the concubine, the fourth sister has always been familiar with poetry and books, I don't know if I have any impressions?" ”

The Gu family is a family of century-old inheritance, and the ancestors do not have a son-in-law, and they are unwilling to pass on the title to the concubine, but they have inherited a son-in-law in the clan to come to this room, which can be seen.

Although Gu Qingrao is valued by the eldest lady now, she can't erase her identity as a concubine. The old lady hurts the most is Gu Qingshu, the eldest girl who has been raised under her knee since she was a child, followed by Gu Qingyan.

The second girl, Gu Qingya, has a cold temperament, and Gu Qingwan's arrogant temperament is not liked by the old lady. Even if Gu Qingrao follows the old lady every day, the grandfather and grandson look very compatible, but in real terms, Gu Qingrao is not ranked behind the second girl in front of the old lady, or even behind Gu Qingwan.

No matter how arrogant Gu Qingwan is, no matter how she bores the old lady, the rules for concubines are also there, and they are much better than concubines. It is precisely because of this that Gu Qingrao is so jealous of Gu Qingwan, and she has changed Fang Er's squeeze to the sixth and seventh girls who are also concubines.

"What the third sister said is naturally right." Gu Qingyan reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "The old lady is looking forward to the third sister every day, if she knows that the third sister of Lu Dao is concentrating on copying books every day, I don't know how happy Lu Dao will be." ”

After that, she secretly pulled Gu Qingrao, who still wanted to speak: "It's getting late, I still have to go to my mother to say goodbye, so I won't delay the third sister's rest." The third sister can rest assured, this matter has passed, and when the old lady is angry, she will naturally miss the third sister's good thoughts again. If the third sister is lacking, even if she tells the mother-in-law who is guarding the yard outside, her mother also thinks about the third sister every day. ”

Gu Qingyan said and quietly glanced at Gu Qingwan, and seeing that she was still indifferent, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, this time Gu Qingwan was punished for kneeling in the Buddhist hall for two days and two nights, and she was banned for half a month, but she was much more at ease.

Gu Qingyan muttered in her heart, if Gu Qingrao had provoked like this in the past, and listened to what she had just said, Gu Qingwan would have lost her mind and made a big fuss. But not only did she not react now, but now she also knew that she was different from her concubine to suppress Gu Qingrao.

Her mother was really right, Gu Qingwan had learned a lesson, and her brain was better than before.

Gu Qingyan secretly sneered, and seeing that Gu Qingwan had already put on the posture of sending off guests, she whispered to the fourth girl: "Fourth sister, let's go first, the third sister thinks that she is unwell, let's not disturb." ”

"Guiye, send off!" Gu Qingwan replied neatly.

Gu Qingrao glared at Gu Qingwan fiercely, turned her head and "hummed", and walked out of the house angrily. The heavy curtain was lifted by her, and the cold wind from outside immediately poured in.

"The third sister has a good rest, and the younger sister will ask the old lady to come to see you another day." Gu Qingyan responded with a smile, and then walked out of Nana with small steps.

It's just that I've grown a little better, or I'm still so ruthless, and my temperament is still so unlikable. Now that such a thing has happened, the situation in the house is becoming more and more difficult.

Gu Qingyan let out a light smile, nodded to the eldest girl Xingyu who was waiting for her outside the curtain, and then Li Yun waited for her to tie the scarlet panjin embroidered cloak, and walked out of the Yuanxiang Pavilion quickly.

Xingyu observed the words, and immediately took out a handful of copper from the purse she carried, stuffed it into the hand of the maid Hongjin next to the curtain and whispered: "It's freezing this day, take it and buy some hot wine for your old son and mother to drink." ”

After that, he didn't wait for Hongjin to react, so he quickly caught up with Gu Qingyan.
