Qing Shu's mouth pulled out a mocking laugh line, "It's so interesting to marry into the same mansion!" ”

Ma lowered his head, "At that time, my aunt said, 'Shu'er is the general's beloved daughter, and Li'er is the daughter of an ordinary family, with different identities and statuses, how can she marry into the same family!'" Speaking of this, she seemed to fall into a memory, and a faint smile appeared on her face, "Your mother gave your aunt a promise, saying, 'Shu'er and Li'er are cousins, how can they say that their status is high.'" Shu'er is the general's daughter, and Li'er is still the general's niece! Shu'er has it, Li'er has it, and she won't be missing either. Then he gave it to his aunt. She said, and withdrew her hand from pushing Qingshu's cover.

Qing Shu endured her breath and said, "My mother is dead, you should put it between you", she glanced at the letter cover on the table, "Whether it's a promise or an agreement, burn it to my mother." ”

Ma Shi was stunned, "Qingshu, you misunderstood, my aunt's words haven't finished yet." ”

Qing Shu was still willing to listen to her, "When my father set me as the son of the Sun family, why didn't you mention the topic of 'sisters entering the same family'?" ”

Ma Shi said anxiously, "Qingshu, listen to my aunt." ”

Qing Shu said to himself, "Naturally, you won't mention it." Because the Sun family was poor at that time, it all depended on my father to survive in Beijing. In the next few years, although the Sun family has an official master, he is just an official with a low position, and he is still far from your goal of marrying your daughter into a high-ranking family or a high-ranking official's mansion, so you naturally won't mention it. ”

At this point, Ma could not refute it. At that time, she really felt that Gu Yunhu was too hasty in setting Qing Shu's family affairs, and the position of the husband she chose for Qing Shu was too low. After that, because of the loss of Gu Yunhu's dependence, and the decay of the Gu Mansion by the Gu Ye clan, she gave her daughter to the Huang Mansion with the same status as them. It's just that the world is changing, although she struggled hard, she couldn't escape the tricks of fate, and in the end, she couldn't hold her head up in front of her juniors.

Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need to play dumb riddles. Qingshu naturally wanted to make her attitude clear, "What did my mother promise you, I don't know, and I don't want to know." In short, the person who promised you has been buried in the ground, and there is no proof of death. ”

Ma Shi listened, and was busy explaining, "Qingshu, ...... you listen?"

Qing Shu interrupted her in an accentuated tone, "No need to say any more. Even if my mother promised you something? When you set a marriage contract for your daughter to the son of the Huang family, the agreement between you and my mother was broken and became useless. Now you come to the door with the so-called promise, and there is no way to verify whether the promise is true or not, and even if it is true, it is impossible to tell me. After my father died, how did you treat my mother, me and Qingyang, who was taken care of by my father, you don't need me to come out one by one! We have confessed the previous ones, and we have broken off our relationship with you and returned here. Now that our life is getting better, you have come with you, and you have tried to take away the family business of our sister and brother, and you have also tried to tie me up and send me to give people joy, which is really a big joke in the world. ”

Ma was said to be unable to raise his head.

Qing Shu's eyes became fierce, "Although you revealed to me about your husband's conspiracy with the Wu Mansion, I won't thank you, and I won't feel that I owe you anything, so I can help you." Whether it is your husband, Wu Mansion, or you, I am not afraid of any of them. Those shameless people who are calculating our brothers and sisters, no matter who they are, I have a way to make them suffer in the future in agony, but they will not be able to get rid of it. I advise you, when you first arrive, don't look too high at the people of Wufu who are about to die, and underestimate me Gu Qingshu. ”

Ying Gu couldn't see the embarrassed appearance of her master, hugged Hui'er, who kept writhing, took two steps forward, and interjected eagerly, "Miss, Madam is not here to ask for the second lady's promise, no." ”

Ma Shi Huo Di raised his head and scolded Yinggu before Qing Shu had a seizure, "Stand down, there is no room for you to speak here." ”

Yinggu also realized that she had made a mistake, confessed her guilt, and retreated behind Ma Shi with her head down.

Seeing this, Qing Shu, who was about to attack, did not dwell on Yinggu's troubles. However, the sentence "Mrs. is not here to ask for the promise of the second lady" made her wonder.

Ma Shi sighed and got up, "Qingshu, now that it's over, my aunt has no face to ask you anymore." Aunt ......" she choked, "Your eldest brother Qingjia and sister Li, you can only accept your fate if you have such a father." We can only accept our fate. She said, covered her face with the handkerchief in her hand, and hurried out.

Yinggu shouted out to Mrs. with tears in her voice, quickly put on a hat for Hui'er, and followed out.

Qing Shu didn't move, because the anger in her heart hadn't disappeared yet. She didn't understand, even if it was normal for a man with status and status to have three wives and four concubines in this era, what kind of mood did Gu Ye, as a mother, make such a ridiculous promise to let her daughter and niece "enter the same door". She didn't understand that Gu Ye himself was suspicious of her husband after listening to the rumors, and she had an awkward quarrel with her husband, and she didn't untie the knot until she died. But the funny thing is that in the marriage of his daughter, Gu Ye's family has become so generous, which is extremely hateful.

When Qing Shu was sulking, Xiao Yu, who had sent the guests out, came in cautiously and reported in a low voice, "Miss, Master Fu's wife was dizzy when she went out, she almost fell, and her face was very bad. The mother-in-law who followed her knelt and refused to get up, and begged the young lady to let her master into the house to rest for a while before leaving. ”

Qing Shu listened to Huo Di and got up, "Is this a plan that can't be done, and another plan?" I'd like to see what she's up to! ”

Xiao Yu saw that Miss was very angry, although she was a little afraid, but she had the courage to block Miss from her way and whispered, "Miss, the slave maid also suspected that they were playing tricks, so she deliberately went to help people and observed." ”

Qing Shu swallowed back the words that were about to reprimand, "What did you find?" ”

Xiao Yu reported what he observed, "Master Fu's wife is indeed weak, and it seems that she is really sick. The slave and maid probed without a trace when helping people, her hands were cold, her arms were slightly shaking, her forehead was very hot, and her face was very bad. ”

Qing Shu was bored for a while, it was really time for Ma's disease to attack. In this way, it is impossible to leave Ma in the house, and he has to send people away immediately, so as not to be falsely accused and cause a fishy body. She immediately confessed and prepared the carriage and horses.

The ancient butler's movements were very fast, and he quickly put people into the carriage and asked the maids to help Ma into the carriage. Steward Gu didn't dare to be careless, even if Qing Shu didn't tell him, he knew in his heart that if he didn't get this matter right, he would be criticized for no reason. Therefore, he personally followed the escort, not to mention, but also let Su's mother and Xiaojuan sit in the car and accompany Ma's, Yinggu and Xiaohui'er.

The carriage traveled all the way, and it didn't take long to reach the gate of the courtyard where Ma rented.

Hearing the movement, Gu Qingjia, Gu Qingquan, Zhang's family, and Gu Li all came out to see it. When they saw that it was Gu Butler, Gu Li turned his head and went back to the house, and Gu Qingjia stepped forward to ask if it was their mother who was sitting in the car. But Gu Qingquan squeezed him away, laughing a little unnaturally, and rushed to talk to Steward Gu.

Steward Gu frowned, dodged to the side, and moved to the front of Gu Qingjia, "Eldest son, your mother's face is not good, Miss is very worried, and she specially sent a carriage and horse to send her back." ”

Without waiting for Gu Qingjia to speak, Gu Qingquan, who felt that he had lost face, immediately shouted, "What's wrong with my mother?" Are you angry with my mother, or are you hurting my mother? Make it clear. ”

Steward Gu immediately changed his face, "If you have the guts, you can say it again." ”

Gu Qingjia was angry, "Qingquan, shut up, don't talk nonsense." ”

Gu Qingquan didn't listen at all, and shouted at the Gu housekeeper, "It's too disagreeable, Gu Qingshu is too disagreeable, he dares to ...... the elders."

"Shut up, there's no place for you to talk here, get in." Gu Qingjia blushed and shouted.

Ying Gu leaned out of the car, "Second Young Master, Madam said that if you dare to talk nonsense again, the family law will serve." ”

Gu Qing's face froze, and he immediately leaned in front of the car, "Mother, mother, are you okay?" ”

There was a family member in the ancient mansion, angry at his rudeness, and did not allow him to get close to the carriage, and pushed him away.

At this time, Steward Gu hurried up to talk to Gu Qingjia, "Eldest son, Miss said that your mother's body is too weak, I'm afraid I'm sick." The young lady was very worried. When we went out, the young lady instructed us that we could not go back immediately, and that we should ask the eldest prince what he meant, either send your mother to the medicine hall to see the doctor, or help invite the doctor back. Prince, you see? ”

Gu Qingjia panicked, "Look at the doctor, look at the doctor." ”

Aunt Ying came over and said with a look of urgency, "Young Master, please delay the doctor to come back, borrow the second lady's carriage to rush to the medicine hall faster." Hurry up, Madame's head is hot. ”

When Gu Qingjia heard this, he hurriedly waved to the ancient housekeeper, "There is a labor housekeeper." ”

They didn't mention it when they went to the medicine hall, and Qing Shu, who stayed in the house, was very unhappy. Something so had happened, she wasn't in the mood to do anything at all. She walked around the house for a while, sat and stood for a while, and in short, she was very irritable.

Seeing Miss like this, Xiao Yu was very worried, and she didn't know what to do. For a long time, she thought that Miss had drunk half a glass of water when she got up in the morning, and she had never drunk a sip of water until now, so she quietly poured a glass of water and put it in Miss's hand. Seeing that the young lady didn't drink, she hurriedly took an apple from the fruit bowl and went out. When she arrived at the small kitchen in the courtyard, the apple was not peeled, but she used a clean knife to cut it into eight pieces, put it on a plate, and brought it back. She doesn't peel the apples, not because she's lazy, but because the young lady never peels apples, saying that apple peels are also good things and can't be thrown away. She put the plate in Miss's hand and persuaded softly, "Miss, if you don't want to drink water, eat a fruit, moisten your throat, and dissipate your anger." ”

Qing Shu frowned, "I don't want to eat it." ”

Xiao Yu continued to persuade, "Miss, you have to take care of yourself, you can't be angry with yourself." The young master will come back tomorrow, and if he knows that the young lady is angry today, he will definitely feel distressed. ”

Thinking of his younger brother, Qing Shu's brows stretched and he glanced at Xiao Yu, "You can persuade people." ”

Seeing that her demeanor had changed, Xiao Yu said happily, "Miss, wait a minute, the slave will bring you a wet cloth towel to wipe your hands." ”

Qing Shu wiped his hands and absentmindedly took the cut apple and ate it.

Xiao Yu saw that the letter on the table had not been moved, "Miss, what should I do with this letter?" ”

Qing Shu sighed and continued to eat the apple absentmindedly until she reached into the plate, but she didn't touch anything.

Xiaoyu hurriedly asked, "Miss, do you still want to eat?" Do you want to cut another one? When I was questioning, I didn't forget to hand over a wet cloth.

Qing Shu wiped his hands, "No." Then he took the letter cover that Ma had left on the table and went into the inner room. Xiao Yu followed, closed the door of the inner room, turned around and cleaned up the melon and fruit plates that had been laid out on the table for the guests.

Qing Shu squinted at the letter in his hand, thinking to himself: If you don't look at it, burn it, when nothing has happened; Open it and burn it again, again as if nothing had happened.

She stared at it for a long time, felt bored, folded it into a paper airplane, threw it casually, let it fall to the ground, and didn't pick it up, but fell on the kang and didn't want to move.

Half an hour later, the butler and the others returned. The housekeeper and Su's mother came over to talk back to Qingshu in person. Ma was sent to Tzu Chi Medicine by his eldest son to see the doctor. The doctor said that Ma was overly worried, coupled with sleepless nights and fatigue, which dragged down his body. The doctor prescribed a prescription for three days, and instructed Ma to recuperate for a while and eat some nourishing things. Steward Gu and the others sent Ma, who had seen the doctor, home, and rushed back.

After reporting this, Mother Su separated Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan who were waiting in the house, and whispered to Qingshu, "Miss, the old slave has something to report to Miss." ”

Qing Shu saw that she was mysterious and felt strange, "What's the matter?" ”

Su's mother told Sù Qingshu, and Ma's Yinggu in front of her avoided people and talked to her. Yinggu said that Ma's came today and asked for something that was true, but not to ask for a promise. Speaking of this, Su's mother was puzzled, "Miss, what promises are not promised, the old slave is confused." Asked a question, but the woman refused to say, and I don't know what was going on? ”

Qing Shu raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, "Oh, what else did she say?" But I was wondering in my heart whether this was Ma instructing the mother-in-law to say this, or the mother-in-law's own opinion. No matter which one it is, if you think about it carefully, the purpose is not to ask her to help solve Gu Li's marriage.

Su's mother continued. Yinggu said that Ma's visit today was to repay the letter and ask Qingshu for help. Ma wanted to get rid of Gu Yunfu, and quietly took his children to leave Kangxi Town and go south to make a living. But Gu Yunfu stared at them closely, and the Ma family couldn't leave the country quietly, so he had to turn to Qing Shu for help, hoping that Qing Shu could help them and help them leave.

Yinggu also told Su's mother about Gu Yunfu's collusion with Wu's house. This made Su's mother very angry, and said to Qing Shu, "Miss, Master Fu is really excessive, I didn't expect to be able to do such a thing." The old slave felt that what Yinggu said made sense, as long as the eldest lady took her children away and flew away, without Miss Li, there would be no Chongxi bride, and the conspiracy between Master Fu and Wu Mansion would not be successful. ”

The ancient butler, who had been silent, said from the side, "What do you know? The eldest lady took her children away and flew away, can Master Fu stop? If Miss really becomes a helper, Master Fu will definitely come to make a big fuss, and he will ask Miss for someone. Can it look good when the noise is coming? ”

Mother Su gasped when she heard this, "This, this, isn't the eldest lady the key to the young lady and the young master?" How can this be? ”

Butler Gu pondered for a while and said, "The eldest lady is afraid that she is desperate, so she thought of using the young lady to make things happen." Miss, did the eldest lady mention what the lady promised to Miss Li's marriage? ”

Qing Shu shook the paper airplane in his hand, "I didn't mention it." But I gave this, and what was written here was the content of the promise, which seemed to be written by my mother's own hand. ”

Su's mother was stunned, "Is there such a thing?" The old slave had been serving in the house for many years, but he didn't know that there was such a letter. ”

Steward Gu was also taken aback, "It turns out that the promise is true." ”

Qing Shu looked over, "What do you mean by this?" As for the promise, I only know it from you, the butler. ”

The ancient butler said, "At that time, I was not the housekeeper of the house, but because I was a subordinate of the general, I often went to the general. One day, I happened to meet the general who lost his temper with his wife. For no other reason, the general complained to his wife, because she had not consulted with the general, so she made some difficult promises about Miss Li's marriage. The details are not very clear, but the matter that the lady has already promised, and the general is not easy to say, so the matter is put aside. ”

Mother Su's face was abrupt, "Hearing you say this, I vaguely remember something." The general was furious and frightened us into hiding far away. At that time, the general shouted loudly, 'Why should my daughter's dowry be paid by me?' and what else, let me think. The number of times the general has lost his temper is limited, and I should remember it......" she muttered in her mouth for a long time, as if she remembered it, "There is another sentence, and the general shouted, 'If you want to marry a girl and enter the mansion of the fourth rank, you really dare to climb the high branches'." Miss, what is written in that letter? Madame wouldn't really agree to prepare a dowry for Miss Li, and let Miss Li climb the high branches, right? ”

Qing Shu felt powerless. The original content of the promise was not only that the cousins would "enter the same door", but also that the dowry for Gu Li was also set, and the standard for Gu Li's marriage was also set, and it had to be the mansion of the four major members. Gu Ye's brainless little white flower! No matter how good you are with Ma, you can't dig out your heart and lungs to this point! It's so speechless that the Virgin Mary is. And Ma's, my heart is so big! Why did you choose the children and grandchildren in the mansion of the fourth rank as your son-in-law, it was not majestic enough at all, so you just chose the emperor as your son-in-law.

Under the gaze of Steward Gu and Mother Su's four eyes, Qing Shu said weakly, "I don't know, I haven't seen it yet." ”

Su's mother was anxious, "Miss, why don't you take a look?" ”

Qing Shu sighed, "Because I haven't thought about it yet." I really want to open it to see what is going on, but I am worried that I will be angry with myself when I see it, so I am still thinking about it. You say, I'm going to burn it, okay? ”

Su's mother listened to it and didn't know what to say. She thinks what Miss said is very reasonable, what if she reads the content and gets angry?

The ancient housekeeper also found it difficult to do, but he still gave it to Jian, "Miss, I guess you will be angry if you see it, and you will also be angry if you don't see it." With that in mind, you should open it and see if the letter is genuine. If it's true, just burn it. burned it, and I'm not afraid that the eldest lady will make a fuss about it in the future. If it's not true, it proves that the eldest lady is not trustworthy, and you should have a good idea of how to treat her in the future. ”

That's the truth. Qing Shu waved his hand lazily, "You guys go down first." I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to watch it. Anyway, the letter is in my hands, and I'll see it tomorrow, so there's no hurry. "Really, she was disgusted by being in the same door. If Zhou Boyan heard this, he didn't know what his expression was?
