018 Uneasy
The second girl also returned to the door on the day of the three dynasties, and returned to Zhou's house with Zhou Jue before it was dark, and naturally she did not forget to take away the hand-copied rare book that the second girl had copied for so many years.
Old Madam Gu was obviously a little sleepy, but fortunately, those female dependents were all observant, and when the second girl and her party left, they only stayed for a while, and then they all found excuses and prepared to go home. The three ladies of the Gu family sent the maids and daughters-in-law one by one to send the ladies out of the second door, and the old lady Gu went back to her Tansong Courtyard.
Except for Gu Qingyan who said that she would stay by Mrs. Gu's side and wait, several girls from the Gu family hurriedly returned to their courtyards.
Old Mrs. Gu is old, I heard that it was because the wind blew on the day the second girl returned to the door, so she fell ill, and the girls and wives in the house were spared the morning and dusk.
said that the morning and dusk were exempted, and there were more people piling up in the Tansong Courtyard. Not to mention that Xiao Sun and Gu Qingyan have to stay in Tansong Courtyard for a few hours every day, serving soup and medicine, and even accompanying Mrs. Gu to talk funny and relieve boredom, even Xiao Sun's sister Aunt Cao also came several times and made a special trip to visit Mrs. Gu.
The four girls in the big house also went to the Tansong Courtyard from time to time, that is, the seventh girl, and also accompanied the six girls to the Tansong Courtyard several times.
And the least active in the house, I'm afraid that there is only Gu Qingwan alone.
said that she didn't rush forward to make a good impression in front of the old lady, but it was better to say that these days, Gu Qingwan had figured out a truth.
Old Madam Gu's heart has deviated, even if she is rushing forward to offer her courtesy now, Old Madam Gu's attitude towards her is slightly better. At least, the kindness to herself will not pass over the big girl she has hurt since she was a child, and the five girls who are always in front of her.
Anyway, there are other Gu families in this concubine, and she occupies the position of the Gu family's daughter-in-law, as long as she doesn't do too much, the treatment is as indispensable as the regulations. Why rush to compete with the fourth and fifth girls to be Mrs. Gu's favorite, and provoke so much right and wrong and jealousy?
Therefore, Gu Qingwan only went to see it after Mrs. Gu was rumored to be unwell, and she really stayed in Tansong Courtyard on weekdays. Xiao Sun's family seems to have taken root in Tansong Courtyard, and Gu Qingwan doesn't need to go to Jinhui Hall to ask for peace, but she is also happy.
Even after inviting several imperial doctors in the palace to take a look, Old Madam Gu's illness only improved slightly after five or six days of recuperation. This time, the juniors of the Gu family naturally had to go to the Tansong Courtyard to ask for warmth.
When Gu Qingwan arrived at Tansong Courtyard, it was not yet time to ask for peace, but she happened to bump into a coincidence and got together with the young masters from the outer courtyard who came to ask for peace. Only then did she realize that this Cao Di actually went to the Gu family's home school to study with him, and in the past few days, he lived with him in Gu Cunzhang's courtyard in the outer courtyard.
Gu Cunzhang came to the inner courtyard to greet Mrs. Gu, and Cao Di naturally came with him. Old Madam Gu was happy in her heart, so she left these juniors to talk to her for a while, and asked them about their homework one by one, and asked Cao Di if he was still used to learning at the Gu family.
Regardless of whether it is good or bad, the two naturally say good again and again.
Gu Qingwan saw that Old Madam Gu was chatting with them very warmly, so she gestured to the jade cup standing next to her, and prepared to go to the compartment to avoid it first.
Yuzhan glanced at Old Madam Gu, whose complexion was much better than before, and nodded to Gu Qingwan secretly.
It wasn't until the noise outside was a little quieter that Yuzhan sent Peony in to spread the word, saying that the old lady had entered the inner room and called her into the inner room to talk.
Gu Qingwan thought that Mrs. Gu and Gu Cunzhang had been talking for half an hour, and she was afraid that she was a little tired, so she asked for peace and could go back to her yard. Just waited for her to enter the back room and saw Mrs. Gu sitting on the kang, and she didn't see any tiredness at all.
When the old lady saw Gu Qingwan coming in, she was in high spirits and asked her to sit down beside her, obviously meaning a long talk.
When the jade cup came up with the tea, Old Madam Gu waved her hand to signal the maids in the room to quit, and there were only Old Madam Gu and Gu Qingwan in the room.
"There are so many girls in this house, Qingshu has been sensible and sensible since she was a child, although the second girl is a little colder, but she is the most knowledgeable, and the fifth girl has always been well-behaved. You're the most worrying thing. Old Madam Gu saw Gu Qingwan sitting in front of her with her head down, sighed, but what she said was a few words.
However, Mrs. Gu only mentioned the girl from the Gu family, as if the granddaughter of the concubine was not her granddaughter.
"Your mother is a soft character, and you have always been strong, making trouble at home and outside. How important is the reputation of a girl's family, even if you are a girl from the second room, if your reputation is bad, it will be ...... in the future."
"Think about it, for so many years, your mother has either been close to you first, or your fifth sister is not as good as you."
Old Madam Gu said so much, seeing that Gu Qingwan still lowered her head without saying a word, and there was no expression on her face, she was a little annoyed in her heart.
"I don't let anyone talk about it again, but I can't treat it as if nothing happened. Fortunately, the brother of the Xie family is your eldest brother's best friend, and his conduct is still trustworthy, so there is nothing outside the mansion. If it really spreads, not only will it destroy you, but also those sisters behind you will also be ruined by you. ”
If it weren't for the fact that the prince had just gone to Beijing to turmoil, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to Gu Qingwan for the time being, Old Madam Gu would have sent her to the family temple a long time ago. Later, it was Gu Qingshu who pleaded hard, and if the girl from the Gu family did not show up for a long time, there would be something bad outside, so Mrs. Gu withdrew the grounding order.
But after all, she was a little worried, but Old Madam Gu still sent her mother-in-law to secretly observe Yuanxiang Pavilion for several days, and saw that Gu Qingwan was really settled, so she gave up.
The revival of the old matter was something that Gu Qingwan had expected a long time ago, so seeing that Old Madam Gu had a serious expression, her heart was extremely calm.
Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Qingwan's appearance of not entering, and remembered Gu Qingshu's thousands of instructions before returning home, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "I know that you must blame me for punishing you too harshly, but if you don't teach you a lesson and let you grow up, I'm afraid you will have to go more difficult in the future." ”
"You've been confined for more than a month, but your temper has been restrained a lot. It's just that whether you're pretending to be well-behaved for a while, or whether you really have a long memory, I don't care. You are a girl from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and you can't lose the face of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in front of outsiders. ”
These words were both encompassing and powerful, but Gu Qingwan was not sure of Old Madam Gu's intentions.
Seeing Gu Qingwan's expression moved, Old Madam Gu knew that she had listened to it anyway, so she said tentatively: "Your mother plans everything for you, but you go against her will in everything, and you are not allowed to do this in the future." Look at Brother Ke, he is very obedient and well-behaved, but you ......"
Gu Qingwan raised her head suddenly, with a little anger on her face: "What my grandmother said is not right, my mother is a compatriot with the current envoy, her surname is He, and she is the main room." Ke Ge'er and I are the sons and daughters of the main room, how can we have an extra 'mother'? ”
Xiao Sun's family is filling the house, that is, when he enters the door, he has to kneel in front of He's spiritual seat. The Gu family values the heirs, so they naturally value these rules. The three girls have a natural sense of superiority of their daughters-in-law, and they don't look down on the little grandson, and every time they talk about the He family and the little grandson, they will inevitably get angry.
Old Madam Gu frowned, but her heart was a little more steady, so she just kept a tiger face and didn't speak.
"I call her 'Mrs.' now, and I've done my duty." Gu Qingwan sneered, and there was no retreat or mercy between her words.
"Okay...... old lady Gu waved her hand with a headache, picked up the tea on the low table and poured it hard, and then said, "If you refuse to listen to me now, you will regret it in the future." ”
Gu Qingwan secretly glanced at Old Madam Gu, and saw that her expression was genuinely sighing and worried, and she couldn't help but have a bad premonition in her heart.
It's that she has been a lot more well-behaved in the past few days, and Old Madam Gu probably doesn't treat her very much, so why is she really worried about her after so many days?
