Gu Qingyan's kung fu of opening her eyes and talking nonsense is becoming more and more perfect. Gu Qingwan stared at her for a long time, and then she laughed out loud.
This unspoken, but plain ridicule, suddenly made Gu Qingyan annoyed and angry: "What are you laughing at, isn't what I said the truth?" The old lady is still bedridden now, and if the third sister had a little conscience, it would not be the current situation. ”
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully in the direction of the Lu family and the Guan family.
The eyes of the Lu family and the Guan family looked at the eldest lady together.
"Five girls, the elders are talking, and it's not your turn to interject." The eldest lady sighed a little, "If you don't do your duty, I can only let Weiyu send you back to the Lingering Water Pavilion." ”
She knew early on that Gu Qingshu didn't like Gu Qingyan, but she was quite well-behaved and sensible on weekdays, and she was a concubine, so she was a little biased. Unexpectedly, this is also a person who can't withstand the wind and waves.
Gu Qingyan looked at the eldest lady with a pale face, and looked back at Xiao Sun, but Xiao Sun also signaled her not to speak. Gu Qingyan stared at Gu Qingwan fiercely and sat down angrily.
"Don't worry about the senseless people, let's continue what Fang just said." Guan took a step forward and looked at Xiao Sun condescendingly, "Second Mrs. Gu, I want to see our aunt's dowry list, this request is not too much." ”
Seeing that Xiao Sun was silent, Guan smiled and said, "Is Second Lady Gu unwilling to answer this question, or does she have no right to answer this question?" ”
Xiao Sun's hand in his sleeve was clenched tightly. The voice was still very gentle: "Please also ask the two uncles and wives to be considerate, Sister He's dowry list has always been stored in the master's place, and I have never seen it." The two ladies asked me for a dowry list, and I was afraid that they had asked the wrong person. ”
Guan's face suddenly turned cold, and she stared at Xiao Sun tightly, as if she wanted to burn a hole in her face.
"County Lord, did you hear what Second Lady Gu said?" Guan looked at the eldest lady, then turned to the little Sun and said, "Second Mrs. Gu." I still advise you, don't talk too much about everything, otherwise you will slap yourself in the face in the future. ”
Xiao Sun faintly felt that something was wrong, so he heard someone outside reply, saying that the uncle of the He family was in the outer courtyard, and the second master invited Xiao Sun to come over.
Xiao Sun's eyes darkened, and thanks to Gu Qingwan, she took a few steps forward and helped her: "Second wife." Don't faint too, the old lady at home is sick enough to be busy, and the outside may not be able to say something ugly. ”
Seeing the smile on Gu Qingwan's face with contempt and disdain, suddenly, she seemed to have returned to a time when she was still a dozen years ago, when she still had nothing. Now Gu Qingwan's eyes are so similar to He Lanxin's eyes. Xiao Sun's seemed to be stunned at that moment. Pushed Gu Qingwan hard. It's as if she's some kind of beast.
"Brother and sister, what are you doing!" The eldest lady's scolding made Xiao Sun sober up, and when she looked up, Gu Qingwan had already been protected by the eldest lady.
Xiao Sun closed his eyes a little weakly, and hunted geese all day long, but he didn't expect to be pecked blind by geese after the worst time. It's no wonder that I've been slack over the years, thinking that a teenage girl has no threat to herself, but I didn't expect that what I was looking at was a cat with hidden claws.
And a quarter of an hour ago. He Chengyang entered the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Today is the day when Gu Mingli is resting, although after the death of the He family, the Gu family has never interacted with the He family again, but there is no one who looks up from the court. There are only such places in the capital, and Gu Mingli still often meets his brother-in-law He Chengping.
Compared with He Chengping, the last thing Gu Mingli wants to see is He Chengyang.
He Chengping is a tall person, but He Chengyang is full of twists and turns in Gu Mingli's heart. Back then, he carried Xiao Sun into the door just after He's filial piety, and He Chengyang has always been haunted by this matter, and secretly made a lot of small stumbling blocks for him, so that he couldn't say anything about his suffering. Fortunately, He Chengyang has been in charge of foreign affairs later, otherwise Gu Mingli is afraid that he will not have much of a good life.
Hearing He Chengyang enter the mansion, Gu Mingli was stunned and a little panicked at the same time. Although he didn't know much about the things in the inner courtyard, as soon as he handed over the dowry list, someone from the He family came, and this matter would not be so simple.
Although thinking so, Gu Mingli didn't care too much in the end. Gu Qingwan had said earlier that the He family's dowry list had been lost, and since it was something that had no proof of death, he had nothing to worry about.
He Chengyang had a tiger face when he entered the study, although Gu Mingli's official position was higher than He Chengyang's now, but looking at He Chengyang's blue face, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Second Uncle......" Gu Mingli stood up to greet him, his voice was dry, and he looked a little nervous, "Second Uncle is here today, I don't know what happened?" ”
He Chengyang didn't speak, and when the next person handed over the tea, he covered the door and went out to wait, then he coughed heavily: "Naturally, it's for Qingwan's family affairs." ”
The He family was not satisfied with Gu Qingwan's family business.
There are many talents in Beijing, and they are about to go to the government examination institute to try it, and it is much better to pick a poor student than to stir into the troubled waters of the royal pool. But no matter what, Gu Qingwan is still surnamed Gu, and her relatives The He family can't manage it, but her dowry The He family can still reach out and take care of it.
No matter how much dowry the Gu family plans to give Gu Qingwan, the dowry that the He family took away from the He Mansion will be left to Gu Qingwan.
Gu Mingli listened to He Chengyang's words, but he was relieved: "Second uncle, Qingwan's family affairs are the master of the old lady's affairs, and they are selected by the queen's mother. Now that the decree has been issued, if you want to change it, it will be difficult to reach the sky. ”
"I naturally know this!" He Chengyang's eyes widened, and he stood up, "I mean my niece's dowry and Lan Xin's dowry are all given to Qingwan, you know this." ”
Gu Mingli's head suddenly sweated, and he nodded again and again: "This nature, this nature!" ”
"It's better to say than to sing!" He Chengyang snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Lan Xin's dowry list is with you, show it to me now." ”
Gu Mingli smiled with him: "Qingwan's dowry, the old lady said that she would take care of it herself, and the dowry list was naturally sent to the old lady." If the second uncle wants to take a look, it would be good to wait for Qingwan's dowry to be completed. ”
After the dowry list is completed, it will be clear who is who!
He Chengyang saw that Gu Mingli was still thinking about mixing up at this time, and couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Gu Mingli, I read it for the sake of Qingwan and Brother Ke'er's surname Gu, so I listened to your nonsense here." Back then, you ignored the friendship between husband and wife, and just after the filial piety period of Lan Xin, you couldn't wait to carry the steproom into the door. Your Gu family's bad style is not my business as an outsider after all, and I can't ignore it. ”
Gu Mingli was not polite at all when he heard He Chengyang, and his face was a little ugly.
"Do you know what I'm here for today?" He Chengyang sneered, "Just now, my wife sent someone back to the house, and she came to the Gu family to discuss with the old lady in your house, saying that she wanted to take a look at Lan Xin's dowry list." Old Madam Gu said the opposite of you, she said that Lan Xin's dowry list is now in your hands. My wife thought that it would be difficult for her to come to the outer court to ask for it, so she sent someone back to her house to ask me. ”
Gu Mingli couldn't have imagined that there was still this stubble, and he couldn't care about being angry, and he was already a little panicked in his heart.
"Lan Xin's dowry was brought from the He family, we have to take a look at the dowry list, and ask to leave all the dowry to the girl from Lan Xin, this request is not too much." He Chengyang's tone was cold, "For a dowry list, your Gu family pushes it around, which makes people have to be suspicious." ”
Gu Mingli held a heart, and at this time he had to greet him with a smile: "Speaking of which, there is really such a thing, yesterday a steward sent a dowry list over, and I remembered it for a while." Saying that, he took a few steps forward to the desk and rummaged for a while, then took out a booklet and sent it to He Chengyang, "This is Lan Xin's dowry list back then." ”
Seeing that He Chengyang hastily finished reading the dowry list, Gu Mingli's heart was full of confidence. Someone had already come in and briefly told what happened in the inner courtyard, although Gu Mingli was a little confused, he was still a filial son, and he knew that Old Madam Gu was affected by his own reasons, and he was very uncomfortable.
Seeing that He Chengyang didn't say a word after reading the dowry list, he couldn't help but raise his voice a little: "Now that the second uncle wants to see the dowry list, I want the second uncle to give me an explanation, what is the so-called matter of your He family coming to our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion today?" ”
"Our two families were originally two surnames, although Lan Xin went early, but there are still two children, Qingwan and Brother Ke, and this relationship is still broken." The more Gu Mingli said, the more he felt that he was reasonable, "Second uncle, can you know that the two ladies of the He family are just in the inner courtyard, and the old ladies in our house are all angry. Now that there is still chaos inside, the second uncle came to the door to ask the teacher. ”
He Chengyang couldn't answer a word, and Gu Mingli couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. For many years, he still remembered He Chengyang's aggressive appearance in front of him, but he never thought of the day when He Chengyang was forced by him to say a word.
"Although our Gu family is noble, we have all been scholars for the past few generations, and I can't do what my second uncle thinks in my heart." After that, he looked at He Chengyang with a happy face, "What you did on the day of the He family is really too deceitful, and I hope that the second uncle will give us an explanation for the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion." ”
He Chengyang moved, and someone outside spread the word that the ladies in the inner courtyard had arrived. The eldest lady had already opened up the room next to her, and asked Gu Mingli and He Chengyang to move and talk.
Gu Mingli didn't expect that the eldest lady would also arrive in the outer courtyard, but the eldest lady was the county lord, and with her in charge, they would naturally not be able to suffer a loss in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
