In the winter of the third year of Jiahe, the rain and snow were abundant, and the frost was deep into the bones. Before the time came, it was already dark outside.

Now the seventh girl is seven months pregnant, and she is well fed, and her belly is bulging like a ball. Her body is already exquisite, her skeleton is small, and when she buries her head, she can barely see her toes, and her steps look clumsy. The Duchess of the Kingdom has exempted her from going over every day to ask for peace, and there are more medicinal meals to nourish the body, and she is sent to Xishan Juli.

The imperial doctor has diagnosed that she has a male fetus in her belly, not only does the Xu family attach great importance to this grandson, but almost sent Tao's mother over to take care of her personally. Even that man almost forbade her feet.

After the snow falls, the outer stone pavement is slippery. Except for him to spare two quarters of an hour every day to accompany her along the verandah, when she was around, she was not allowed to go out alone, let alone Gu Zhen to come over, and invited her to the garden to cut plum branches, or burn wine in the oven.

Recently, the four girls seem to have changed as a person. If it was said that it was a living wave before, at this time, it is a strong smile to show people after losing his soul.

She is not unsad, since the Marquis of Jiangyin was very straightforward, and refused in person, the four girls locked themselves in the house, and for two days, the grain of rice did not enter.

At that time, the Duchess and Mrs. Chen both went to persuade him, but although Gu Zhen was pure and kind, he was a person who accepted death. It's a big deal, and I can't hide it. When the Lord learned of this, he was immediately furious. Holding the rattan in his hand, he kicked the door open, and when he saw that he was about to be strong, he woke her up.

If it weren't for Mrs. Guan, who saw that the opportunity was wrong, she hurriedly asked the prince to save people. This beating, the four girls will never be able to escape. That's it, but it still hasn't been able to extinguish the anger of Lord Guogong.

Marriage is a major event, since ancient times, it has been the order of parents and the words of matchmaking. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is civilized, especially in the north, if the family is a wishful man, they can cast a handkerchief on the street and sing love poems. But if you don't want the Chinese people to be cheap and get married, you need to pay attention to three media and six appointments, and the two families exchange marriage letters.

In the Guogong Mansion, it has been rumored earlier that the prince was dismissed by the Eight Princes' Mansion and robbed his relatives to marry again. Now there is a ridiculous thing that the four girls admire the Marquis of Jiangyin, and they don't marry if they are not married, and they seem to have the ambition to die. How can the Lord not be angry?

is in the same vein, two brothers and sisters, but none of them are worry-free. The anger of Lord Guogong naturally spread to the Xu family, who did not know how to raise children.

It was too late for the Xu family to worry about the four girls, and they were counted down by Zhao Guogong, so there is no need to mention the taste in his heart. I couldn't help but regret that I shouldn't have taken Gu Zhen into the palace that day and let her talk to the Marquis of Jiangyin.

The most hateful, she is a good girl, in terms of background, Gu Zhen is a noble daughter of the princess's mansion; In terms of appearance, the four girls are more beautiful than the ladies in Beijing, and none of them is bad! How can you not be worthy of a mere marquis? He was so disliked.

In the eyes of the Duchess of Guo, not to mention that this matter is absolutely impossible in the future, she just wants to think about it, and it is also the He family who climbs the Gu family!

After this incident, Xu, who was impatient to fight with others, and was used to gambling with Zhao Guogong in his heart, was so angry that he fell ill.

As a result, the back house in the house was in chaos. In addition to Xishan Curie, the seven girls still eat and sleep well, and raise the fetus with peace of mind, and the Duchess and the four girls have two courtyards, and the ladies in each room have to visit separately every day.

The seventh girl was also going to follow, but Tao's mother came to pass the word in person, saying that the lady knew her intentions and strictly ordered her not to come to the door, for fear of being sick.

In this way, Dongyuan couldn't go, so she thought about begging the man to accompany her to sit in the fourth girl's house, so as to comfort and comfort people. Unexpectedly, the man snorted lightly, grabbed her shoulder, and said very calmly, "Wait for her to reflect on herself, don't add to the chaos." Her mother couldn't afford to be sick because of her, and she was even blamed by her father. It depends on how long she willful. ”

Lord Gu's words obviously meant that he was in Gu Zhen's courtyard that day, because he stopped Zhao Guogong from asking for family law, which made Lord Deguo extremely angry, and he couldn't help but recall that he disobeyed the clan order and designed the palace to retire. When the old things are brought up again, it is not easy to be angry.

If he didn't say anything, even the seven girls couldn't please him. In front of him, he bluntly reprimanded the princess for being close to Gu Zhen, but she didn't know how to persuade her, and she took the title of princess in vain.

Zhao Guogong has been in a high position for a long time, but whenever something happens in the house, the first thing he thinks of is to divide the crime. Not to mention the Xu family, even Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Cao, who had nothing to do with this time, were also affected. As the head of the family, in addition to looking at the son who is born and quite talented, the lord of the country treats his daughters like most husbands in the world, more or less, with contempt. Training, training, in your own house, once the door is closed, who cares about everyone's face.

The seven girls didn't know that they were angry that they were treated equally by the princess. So he had to learn calligraphy and painting in a warm room with a charcoal basin, and made clothes for that man. After a few days, the news reached her ears, and the seventh girl realized that she had followed several ladies and was also disciplined.

The seventh girl stroked her stomach and secretly said that she was lucky. It's not that she's afraid that Lord Guogong will get angry, and besides, this anger is not at her alone. At best, she is a fish in the pond that has been affected. After a few heavy words, he should be respectful and listened to the elders' lectures. When she was a child, she didn't listen to anything more ugly than this. I didn't see when she talked back to Mrs. Jiang. In life, you have to know how to pretend to be confused. If everything is more serious, won't you be tired to death?

She is wide-hearted and fat, but the person knows it well in her heart, and she is really short-sighted. She is the person he raised, he has trained it, others have trained it, and he is very happy when he listens to it. So this account was naturally recorded on the head of the fourth girl.

In this way, after a full month, he ordered Gu Zhen to be grounded and meditate on his own mistakes.

At the end of the month, the seventh girl saw the face of the fourth girl again, only to feel that the person in front of her was like a dried radish shred, not only the whole person had lost a circle, but the original white and red good complexion, now it is also sallow and dull, without brilliance.

After this blow, the four girls were not only hurt, but also ashamed. Just because of her selfishness, she made her family have no peace, and even caused her mother to be sick in bed, which is really unfilial.

"Sister-in-law, he said he couldn't delay me. I know that he has someone in his heart, but the county lord has been gone for almost four years, could it be that he still stubbornly guards this heart, and he can't let go of it for the rest of his life? Gu Zhen hid her face and cried, and her sad appearance made the seventh girl can't help but be moved.

Such a fiery emotion that burst out overnight has never been experienced in her two lives. She and the person are more like a trickle, and the water comes naturally. He tolerates her hesitation, understands her suspicions, and guides her on how to deliver care and trust. She has too much jerky and immaturity, and he is both hard and soft, and he is the best mentor on her love path.

Seeing the fourth girl's such frank and heart-rending pain, she should be grateful to him, grateful to him for his patience and slow inducement even though he had ill intentions towards her at the beginning. Be gentle with her, tolerant and loving.

Since that day, the four girls have cried heartily in her house, and she has not been seen wiping her tears since. Occasionally, when she came over, Tingting sat quietly, pulling and talking, and never mentioned half a word about Hefu. The fourth girl is sensible in the end, no better than Jiang Ran, and she can't be taught back.

When Brother Yi was there, a few childish words came out from time to time, which made Mrs. Guan and the seven girls laugh. Every now and then, the four girls also laughed, but this smile fell in the eyes of the seventh girl, and she felt empty inexplicably, as if with some deliberately suppressed far-fetchedness.

But no one can debunk it. The word love is the most hurtful.

The Marquis of Jiangyin treated Gu Zhen, and he refused on the surface, showing no mercy. But the seventh girl felt that Hou Ye must have his hard work like this.

This is another kind of mildness that is different from that person. It is not the words that are mild, but the hearts. Since you don't love it, you won't be lucky, so it's not a great pity.

Asking for but not suffering, what is more bitter than asking for but not being able to get is trapped in it and cannot extricate yourself. Maybe the fourth girl also understood, so in the first month of the fourth year of Jiahe, the Duchess of Guo was in charge and set the eldest son of the Taifu family in Beijing for her. Hearing this, the four girls nodded with a smile, didn't ask a word more, didn't hesitate, and responded immediately.

****************

He Frame rejected the affection of the four girls, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for the reason of the seven girls, it is not rare to be mixed with the slightest selfishness.
