001 Chaos
Yufeng is in the late winter of the twentieth year, and there are still two days to go until Chinese New Year's Eve [It should be a lively and festive day, but no mansion in Beijing dares to use bright colors. Although all the yamen were closed, even the early dynasty during this period of time was not needed, but none of the ministers in the capital could sleep peacefully.
Dingyuan Marquis Gu Mingde and his wife Zhaocheng County Lord entered the palace early, the second lord Gu Mingli and the third lord Gu Mingyi in the mansion were anxiously waiting for news in the mansion, and the old lady called the ladies and girls in the family to her house to talk around the fireplace.
As we all know, the old lady of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is a compassionate person, and every year she goes to Puji, the most effective incense in Beijing, to add incense money, which is the porridge shed built outside the Puji Temple in the cold winter every year, and there must be one of the Gu family of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
In the northwest corner of the Tansong Courtyard where Mrs. Tai lives, a Buddhist hall is set up, and Mrs. Tai will go to the Buddhist hall every nine days to recite the scriptures for a while. Since the beginning of this month, not only in the court, but also in Beijing, there is some unstability, how can Mrs. Tai still have the mind to chant the scriptures?
However, this Buddha hall has not burned the earth dragon for more than half a month, so in the winter when the water is dripping into ice, just standing in the Buddha hall feels cold and panicked.
At this moment, no one noticed it, maybe no one paid attention to it, Gu Qingwan, the third girl of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion who had been kneeling in the Buddhist hall for two days, had not entered a drop of water for two days, and she was already hungry and cold.
She stubbornly looked at the Bodhisattva in front of her who was said to save the suffering, and there was no sparkle in her eyes.
The wind outside was blowing on the edge of the window like a knife, and Gu Qingwan only felt that her feet were numb. She staggered to her feet on the ground, but she fell forward in the faint sound of a bell outside.
Gu Qingwan had a splitting headache, she wanted to move, but found that she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes. There was a "buzzing" roar in her ears, and she listened intently for a long time, only to realize that someone seemed to be crying.
The cry was close to her ears, and after it gradually became clearer, she heard a very solemn voice not far away: "Later, let someone carry her back to the Yuanxiang Pavilion, you send someone to guard the courtyard gate, without my instructions, no one is allowed to come out in the Yuanxiang Pavilion." β
"Old lady, Qingwan is still a child, if she is grounded, she is afraid that she will not be able to stand it." The delicate and soft voice was a little familiar, and there was a thick nasal voice, presumably she was the one who cried just now.
"It's because you maintain her all day long that she becomes more and more unbelievably thick, and this time she has lost the face of our Gu family." The old lady seemed to be very angry, and even her voice was panting, "You are also her mother-in-law, even if you discipline her and teach her a lesson, I want to see who in our house dares to say more." β
She didn't change her temper, so she reflected in the house. I'm afraid it's going to change this day, but now it's because of her, and there is no peace in our house. The old lady was very tired in her tone, hesitated for a while and said, "That brother of the Xie family ......"
"Don't worry, the old lady, the brother of the Xie family is very sensible and interesting, fortunately, it is to cover up the past, otherwise the ...... behind Qingwan" Halfway through speaking, he heard movement outside, so he hurriedly stopped.
Gu Qingwan was originally like listening to a book from heaven, but later she felt that something was wrong. It was only evident that the people who lifted her up were very impatient and rude, and she hit her head somewhere, and fainted again.
Gu Qingwan had a dream all night, and the girl in the dream looked at the man in front of her shyly and timidly, and said softly: "Thank you...... Ziran, I'm fifteen years old, and if you want to, you can come and ask for marriage in the next year. She seemed very nervous, her hands twisting into each other, not daring to look at the man's expression.
And Gu Qingwan saw it clearly from the side, and the man's face revealed only deep disgust except ridicule.
"I've been embroidering this purse for two months, but the stitches are a little sparse." Gu Qingwan looked up, but couldn't help laughing. said that the stitches were sparse, but it was still a little reluctant, that is, with her cross-stitch skills, she also felt that the pattern on the purse was a little cold.
The man frowned and raised his hand, but did not take the purse in the girl's hand. Seeing the girl looking at him with burning eyes, he said impatiently: "Come back." β
"What?"
"The poem you said about 'love' was written by me in Huaiwang's Mansion two months ago, and I didn't know where it was lost at that time, but it turned out to be picked up by Miss Gu." The man's mouth was furrowed, "As for what the girl said, what kind of marriage is asked, people like ours want to be face-saving, and the girl should respect herself." β
This was said very seriously, even when Gu Qingwan heard it, a wave of anger suddenly welled up in her heart.
"You're a liar!" The girl's voice suddenly sharpened, but the man remained unmoved.
She was wondering why she was not surprised by the scene in front of her, and when she finished watching the play calmly, the man had disappeared. The girl stood silently in place for a while, and suddenly an exclamation came from a distance: "Three girls, go away!" β
The girl suddenly panicked, and rushed towards the place where Gu Qingwan was. Gu Qingwan looked at the girl who was getting closer and closer to her, and her eyes suddenly widened.
Previously, the girl was sideways, Gu Qingwan only looked at her side face and felt a little familiar, but now after seeing it clearly, she found that this girl looked exactly like her. To be exact, exactly the same as when she was fifteen.
The girl bumped into Gu Qingwan when Gu Qingwan was surprised, Gu Qingwan was knocked by her and fell to the ground, her body was weightless, and she woke up immediately from her dream.
"What's wrong with the girl? But another nightmare? Taozhi on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support Gu Qingwan, and said, "The girl has been groggy for the past few days, she woke up and fell asleep, and she was sick like this, and the old lady still had to ban the girl's feet." No one has come to visit the girl for more than ten days. We don't have much carbon, and the food delivered in the winter is barely warm, and even asking the mother-in-law at the door to carry hot water is too deceptive. β
Seeing that Gu Qingwan just looked at herself blankly, there was no other superfluous reaction, which was completely different from what Taozhi imagined. Now that the three girls are almost in good shape, with her cannon-like temperament, the reaction should be to rush to the door and slap the mother-in-law who is guarding the yard.
"Girl, did you hear me?" Momozhi asked again.
"Get out of here!" Gu Qingwan came to her senses, and when she saw that Taozhi was still muttering on the side, she gritted her teeth and said.
Momozhi was stunned for a moment, and after making sure that she had heard correctly, her heart fell into her stomach. Some time ago, Gu Qingwan was too quiet, which made her feel very uneasy. Now it seems that the third girl is probably a little scared this time, so she wants to settle down temporarily.
Taozhi stood on the side of the bed and glanced at Gu Qingwan with slanted eyes, but still retreated from the room softly.
Gu Qingwan couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw the peach branches coming out.
It has been half a month since she became the third girl of the Gu family, and it is impossible to think of it as a dream now. The strange thing is that this third girl has the same name as her, even her appearance is exactly the same as when she was fifteen, as if she was destined in the dark.
When she just woke up, she was also very panicked, but during this time, she found that it seemed that most of the memories of the original owner had been left, and she had slowly received a lot of Gu Qingwan's memories for more than ten years.
Although there is no need to inquire secretly, Gu Qingwan's memory can only be fully remembered when she sees specific people and things, such as the big girl who is waiting beside her in front of her. What she clearly remembers now is just some common sense about the identity of the third girl, as well as those very important things.
For example, she is a girl from the second room of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, her biological mother died early, and her father Gu Mingli later continued the string. This stepfamily's surname is Sun, and she is the niece of the old lady in the house, Gu Mingli's cousin, and the two grew up with their own plum sweethearts. Although Gu Mingli later married her biological mother He for some reason, Gu Qingwan looked down on this stepmother very much.
For example, she had a dream for several days in a row, and in the dream she mercilessly rejected the man of the original owner.
For example, the original owner has been arrogant for more than ten years, and he has a temper like a cannonball. Gu Qingwan has a straight temperament, from the old lady to the mother-in-law who sweeps the garden, there are really not many people she has offended.
With such an unlikable temperament, it is understandable that he has been thrown into the well now.
It's just that now she is grounded in the yard, but Taozhi is fanning the flames every day, wishing that she went to find the old lady or the second lady to argue, probably because she didn't have any good intentions. She remembered that the person who shouted "Three girls go away" was Taozhi, but she shouted it so loudly, I don't know if Lu Dao wanted to help Gu Qingwan or hurt her.
She thought about the Gu family's affairs for more than ten days, and in her memory, the people in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion recognized their faces familiarly, and if they saw someone in the future, there was no need to panic.
"Girl, the slave maid brought water in, and now that the weather is cold, if the girl doesn't wash again, I'm afraid the water will be cold." A voice came from outside the curtain.
It's another big girl laurel leaf.
Compared with the eloquent peach branch, Gu Qingwan likes this silent and steady laurel leaf. At least in the ten days she woke up, Guiye kept her duty, and she was very impatient to do thingsβͺ and secretly provoked and instigated the peach branches, and Guiye's silence showed her goodness.
The original owner is really strange, and he doesn't need to put such a steady maid, but he wants to reuse a peach branch that is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
All this was not what she wanted, but she had to survive in the name of Gu Qingwan, the third girl of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. The three girls of the Gu family had already knelt in the Buddhist hall for two days and then died, and now it is her Gu Qingwan from another world who is still alive in the world.
She didn't want to compete with others, she just wanted to live simply, but she didn't know that such a simple idea would be so difficult.
