037 Undercover investigation
After watching it for a long time, Mrs. Shoushan Hou said that she was a little tired, so she sat down on the side, but Liu still leaned in front of Gu Qingshu to talk.
"I heard Mrs. Zhou say that Mrs. Zhou's maiden family is the Gu family, but the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in Beijing?" Liu saw that Gu Qingshu was an easy-going person, but he didn't have the previous restraint, and the smile on his face was not as stiff as before.
Gu Qingshu glanced at Liu, and then nodded lightly: "When you first came to Beijing, you inquired clearly. ”
Liu smiled embarrassedly, seeing that he had nothing to say, he said unwillingly: "If you talk about it, my wife and I almost got married, so I paid extra attention after entering Beijing." ”
Gu Qingshu raised her eyebrows, her expression was already a little displeased, but she just asked lightly: "What do you say?" ”
"The lady in the second room of Madame's mother's house is surnamed Sun?" Seeing Gu Qingshu nodding, Liu didn't seem to be aware of Gu Qingshu's emotional changes at all, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice, "Isn't it this second lady!" Her mother's sister followed her husband's family to Luzhou, and Mrs. Cao had an only son, who had also won the show in the past two years, and had been married to the eldest girl in our family before. It's just that two years ago, this family affair was not counted, and if it was done, although our family and Mrs. Mother's family were nine twists and eighteen bends, they still had some relationship. ”
The Cao family wanted to marry Gu Qingwan, and Gu Qingshu had also heard from the eldest lady. Gu Qingshu's thoughts coincide with Mrs. Gu, although Gu Qingwan is low-married, but the Cao family's Cao Di's appearance is quite good. Moreover, Cao Di has a reputation again, and with the help of the Gu family, he will also be a creative person in the future.
It's really because Gu Qingwan is a little older now, and no one has asked to marry yet, so it's already good to be able to find a job like Cao Di.
Although Aunt Cao wanted to settle down earlier, so as not to delay Cao Di's imperial examination, she would not be able to discuss it until after Mrs. Gu's sixtieth birthday. The elders of the Gu family have all counted this matter in their hearts, but they haven't said it yet, and the juniors and outsiders don't know about it.
Hearing that it was about the Cao family, Gu Qingshu endured her dissatisfaction with the Liu family, and asked as if unintentionally: "Since it's all decided, why doesn't it count, but this Cao family has changed their minds?" ”
When the Liu family talked about the Cao family, the disdain in his expression was sincere: "The Cao family wishes that our eldest girl would marry earlier, but we can't afford such a family, for fear of losing the blessings of our children and grandchildren." ”
Gu Qingshu saw that Liu's smile was very strange, and her heart moved, so she moved closer to Liu's end, separating herself from Mrs. Shoushan Hou.
"You hooked my stomach full of curiosity, is there something wrong with this Cao family?" After that, she explained, "I have also seen that brother of the Cao family, his appearance is not bad, and he is from a Xiucai background." ”
The Liu family probably wanted to sell it well in front of Gu Qingshu, and seeing that Gu Qingshu was curious, he knew everything: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't use such a thing to chew on the root of my tongue, and I dare to say it when my wife mentions it." The most famous medical hall in Luzhou is Shangshantang, and the doctor who sat in the hall was favored by our old lady back then, and he really couldn't bear it, so he quietly told us the truth. ”
Gu Qingshu's heart jumped, but she couldn't help but get closer to Liu. She had thought that Aunt Cao and Xiao Sun's attitude was too positive, but she didn't expect that there was really something else hidden in it.
"That brother of the Cao family has a hidden disease, and I am afraid that there will be no future in the future." After saying that, Liu's face turned red, and he looked around uneasily, and saw that Mrs. Shoushan Hou was talking to the maid beside her, so she breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that her expression is still a little embarrassed, "Don't say this lady outside, if it is known by the Cao family, it will come out of my mouth, and I am afraid it will be ...... in the future."
Gu Qingshu recovered from the shock, and saw that Liu's face was full of remorse, so she wrote lightly: "What does their Cao family have to do with me, it is nothing more than a relative of the outer three roads. I have heard these words today, and I will not mention them again in the future. ”
Liu looked regretful, listened to Gu Qingshu's words, and nodded again and again.
After that, Gu Qingshu was in no mood to greet her, so she picked some at random, sent away the Liu family, and sent Mrs. Shoushan Hou away.
Gu Qingshu naturally didn't believe Liu's one-sided words, but on the second day, he asked people to check the Liu family and the Jiang family. And Liu's husband's family really entered Beijing a few days ago, and now they are all choosing a location to buy a shop. It's just that Luzhou is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and it takes a lot of time to come and go.
In a flash, it was the second day of the fourth month, this day was the sixtieth birthday of Mrs. Gu, and Queen Chen, who had not recovered from her illness for a long time, sent her attendants to send a white jade Guanyin and two jade ruyi to celebrate her birthday. Not to mention the carriages that came to congratulate the birthday in the princes' palaces, blocking the gate of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
Gu Qingshu entered the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion with the Duchess of Zhenguo, and accompanied the Duchess of Zhenguo to talk to the old lady Gu for a while, and Gu Qingshu went to the Humble Administrator's Hall alone to discuss with the eldest lady.
Because Gu Qingshu came very early, only a small part of the ladies came, and the little Sun and Xue were talking, and the eldest lady was still in the side hall of the Humble Administrator's Hall in an orderly manner to order the housekeepers and grandmothers everywhere. Gu Qingshu waited for a while, and then the eldest lady entered the house.
"As soon as you touch the matter of the three girls, you can't hold your breath, just send someone to send a letter yesterday, I know it in my heart. This is just lip service, the eight characters have not been skimmed, before the letter from Luzhou, I will try to hold the old lady as much as possible. After that, he nodded Gu Qingshu's forehead again, "They are all about to become mothers, and you have to think about the child in your belly." ”
Seeing that the eldest lady blamed herself for not being able to hold her breath, Gu Qingshu's eyes darkened: "I'm just worried about the third sister, if what the Liu family said is true, then the Cao family and the little Sun family are too vicious." ”
"The third sister was grown up by me, if the second aunt in front of me was still there, she wouldn't have suffered today's incident." Seeing that the eldest lady was about to reprimand herself again, Gu Qingshu hurriedly said, "I said before that after the third sister leaves the cabinet, I will no longer care." If I don't know about this matter, forget it, and now that I know it, I don't care about it, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares again in the future. ”
The eldest lady's face was dull for a long time, and then she sighed: "Then the details of the Liu family have been checked clearly?" ”
The appearance of the Liu family is too coincidental.
"Mother rest assured, everything has been checked clearly, and there is nothing wrong with her identity." Gu Qingshu saw that the eldest lady was no longer blocking herself, and a smile appeared on her face, "Besides, the Cao family wants to be close to our family, how can outsiders know about it, and the third sister is lucky, I happened to meet the Jiang family in Beijing, and I was met by me." ”
The eldest lady didn't mention this anymore, just let Gu Qingshu rest in the house for a while, and then follow her to Tansong Courtyard to talk to Old Madam Gu and Duchess Zhenguo.
Gu Qingwan was urged to get up by Guiye before dawn on this day, because there were too many people from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion today, and the ladies and girls in each room went to Tansong Courtyard half an hour early to ask for peace. The eldest lady gave a few extra words, and then sent them back to their courtyard for dinner.
When she saw Gu Qingshu again in Tansong Courtyard, she was still as kind as ever, but Gu Qingwan felt a little guilty. She just felt that if Gu Qingshu was asked to shake this matter out, whether it was for Old Madam Gu or herself, it would be the most appropriate way to deal with it at the moment, but in the end, she still used Gu Qingshu's heart for her.
Although Gu Qingwan didn't understand why Gu Qingshu was so good to the third girl since she was a child, Gu Qingshu never asked the third girl for anything in return.
Gu Qingshu looked at Gu Qingwan, but she hated Xiao Sun's ill intentions even more. In fact, in her heart, she had already believed Liu's words and asked people to go to Luzhou to find out, just to show the old lady. Over the years, although she has been kind to Gu Qingwan in order to make up for the guilt in her heart, it has become natural for her habits, and she is a little more partial to Gu Qingwan than other sisters in the family.
"In the end, I've grown up, and I'm getting more and more plain in dressing." Saying that, Gu Qingshu shook off the rich and noble double happiness point cuibu on her head and inserted it into Gu Qingwan's hair, "But today is the old lady's birthday, it shouldn't be too plain, this color is just right." ”
Gu Qingwan is wearing a lotus lotus-colored bird painting skirt today, and the color is fine, but Gu Qingshu sees that she is wearing red and green, so she naturally feels that Gu Qingwan is plain today.
The girls sitting in the room were all from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and Gu Qingshu was affectionate to Gu Qingwan alone, so she naturally hated her. Gu Qingyan glanced at Xiao Sun angrily, then twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and was a little colder to the enthusiastic reaction of the six girls next to her, Gu Qingjie.
The sixth girl was full of enthusiasm and was poured cold water, and her expression was a little embarrassed, but she bit her lip and didn't dare to attack.
The most resentful is the fourth girl Gu Qingrao, among the many sisters, it stands to reason that she and Gu Qingshu are the closest people. But since she was a child, Gu Qingshu has never looked at her squarely, and she has been kind to Gu Qingwan alone. Seeing Gu Qingshu pushing Gu Qingwan to Old Madam Gu, Gu Qingrao's evil fire in her heart could only turn into a cold snort.
Gu Qingwan lowered her eyes and glanced down, but only the youngest seventh girl reacted indifferently, looking like she didn't care about herself, lowering her head and turning her fingers.
After a while, a maid outside replied, saying that the gentlemen in the outer courtyard were already waiting outside the Tansong Courtyard and came to kowtow to the old lady.
Old Madam Gu was naturally busy inviting people in, Gu Qingwan quietly glanced at it, it was Gu Cunjing, the third master from the fourth lady Zhao family, who came. Old Madam Gu was still smiling on her face before, but when she saw Gu Cunjing, the smile on her face really faded a little.
The fourth old man Gu Mingren is from the aunt Jin, and the old lady has always disliked the concubine of the fourth master, that is, the courtyards of the four rooms are in the most remote places in the house. In addition, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu have been separated for many years, and his daily life and diet in the outer courtyard are taken care of by his aunt Jin.
The grievances of the past are there, and Old Madam Gu naturally doesn't want to see Gu Cunjing.
