Chapter 133
Gu Qingyue heard that Old Madam Gu praised Gu Qingwan like this, and she was very unwilling, thinking to herself why this slut had been praised like this before.
But her mouth was more deferential and said, "What my grandmother taught me is that the eldest sister is noble and bright, understands righteousness, and is a model for younger sisters to learn, and she will learn more from her eldest sister in the future." ”
"Okay, don't pursue this matter in the future, and you don't have to be grounded. You two, stay and have breakfast with me before you go. Finally, Old Madam Gu said.
"Yes." Gu Qingwan and Gu Qingyue stood up at the same time and said with a salute.
After breakfast, the two talked and laughed and left together.
After leaving Old Madam Gu's house and turning around a hand-copying verandah, Gu Qingyue took the lead in letting go of Gu Qingwan's hand, and the expression on her face returned to indifference.
"Today's set of clothes is too suitable for you, second sister, I always saw you wearing magnificent, luxurious and extraordinary, I thought it was the best, but I didn't expect that now this is what really belongs to the second sister." Gu Qingwan quietly admired her makeup and said.
Gu Qingyue's face turned cold, and she wanted to say a few words, but when she saw the purple shadow behind Gu Qingwan, thinking about the maids who had broken their hands and feet that day, a wave of fear surged in her heart-
He retreated and said, "What do you mean, eldest sister?" Are you saying that I don't deserve to wear a good shirt and can only wear this shabby cloth shirt? ”
Gu Qingwan shrugged her brows slightly, and said with a smile, "Since the second sister doesn't like this kind of cloth shirt so much, why do you have to wear it reluctantly, don't you feel uncomfortable?" ”
"Don't be too proud of the eldest sister, it's just a few words of praise from my grandmother, and my grandmother's praise for me in the past is far more than that! Grandmother's willingness to forgive me shows the weight of me in her heart, not because you said a few words for me. Look at it, my grandmother and father will love me again! Gu Qingyue was not always willing to be compared to Gu Qingwan on Old Madam Gu's side.
"I don't doubt this at all, after all, the second sister has a very good set of long-sleeved dancers, otherwise how could she get thousands of favors in this mansion in the past." Gu Qingwan continued to smile.
"I know you're sarcastic about me, but I won't take it to heart, as long as the eldest sister is happy." Gu Qingyue seemed to have figured out something, and was no longer angry because of Gu Qingwan's words, and seemed to be very generous.
Gu Qingwan looked at her departing back, and the chill in her eyes was even worse. At this time, she turned around and saw a maid sweeping the floor on the other side of the corridor, wiping her eyes while sweeping, and she was silently crying.
This man is ...... Gu Qingwan recalled in her mind all kinds of things in her previous life-
"Yuzhu?" When the maid was wiping away her tears, she suddenly heard a voice, and when she looked up and saw Gu Qingwan's face, she was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground, and the broom fell aside.
After returning to Qingshui Yuan and listening to Gu Qingyue's story, the Lu family finally breathed the first breath of relief these days, and said, "Since the old lady has forgiven you, you can be more well-behaved in front of her in the future, your father has me on his side, you don't have to worry too much." ”
For Gu Tianyou, Lu's victory is in hand.
"It's just that I didn't expect Gu Qingwan to be there, and my grandmother said that she wanted me to take her as a model, and it was really uncomfortable to think about it." Gu Qingyue was unwilling, her fists clenched, and she hung down on the table, saying.
"Yue'er, those who have become big things, don't be informal, Gu Qingwan will see it when she sees it, there is no need to worry about it, the most important thing now is that you have to find a way to get back to your original position." Lu comforted.
"However, now that my grandmother has praised her, I am so constrained that I don't even dare to wear the gorgeous clothes of the past, and how can I return to my original position." Gu Qingyue was at a loss, she had loved beauty since she was a child, and the Lu family's refusal to let her wear those carefully sewn silk satin simply made her worse than death.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Shi said, "I now have an idea to let you regain the love of the old lady. ”
Gu Qingyue was stunned, "What's the solution?" ”。。
"Do you remember that little white fox next to your grandmother?"
"Of course you remember, what do you mean?" Gu Qingyue looked at Lu suspiciously, the little white fox beside Mrs. Gu was saved on the way up the mountain when the old lady went to Ganlu Temple to offer incense two years ago, and after the little white fox's injury was healed, she stayed by the old lady's side and did not leave, and the old lady adopted it when she saw that it had spirituality, and she liked it very much.
"You can use it to further get the old lady's affirmation, and with the old lady's affirmation, it will be much easier for you to act in the future." Lu's Yin Survey Tunnel.
"How do you use that?" Gu Qingyue's eyes suddenly lit up and asked.
Lu walked to the door and looked at the gloomy sky outside, it was about to rain.
"Mama Du, come in." Lu shouted outside.
When it arrived, the sky was pitch black, and the rain poured down as if it was about to fall, accompanied by a burst of thunder piercing the sky from time to time.
"It's raining again." Gu Qingwan stood in front of the windowsill, leaned over to play with the pot of begonia flowers, the petals had already fallen and spread on the soil, she withdrew her hand and came back, and she dyed a palm of water.
Looking at the dense rain curtain outside, she looked a little stunned, and a faint sadness passed between her watery eyes.
"Miss, she's here......" At this time, Ziyu walked in quickly.
Gu Qingwan's gaze glanced at Ziyu lightly and said, "Let her in." ”
"Yes......"
After a while, a man covered in water walked in with his head down, knelt on the ground in fear, and said, "County Lord, you are looking for me......"
"Get up, Zilan, give her that handkerchief to wipe the water......" Gu Qingwan commanded.
The rain was still falling, and half an hour later, Yuzhu walked out with a slight smile on her face, however, when she approached the corner, she was blocked by a figure, and when she looked up, she was suddenly startled, and quickly knelt down, saying:
"Nursery-sama." It turned out that it was Gu Tian in the second room who stopped in front of her.
"The second master wants to see you, come with me." Gu Tian's deep voice commanded coldly.
"Second master......" Yuzhu was so frightened that his legs almost went limp.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was an atmosphere in the study that was almost about to freeze, and Gu Tianyou's majestic gaze was terrifying.
Yuzhu, who was kneeling in front of her, trembled like a sieve, this was the first time she had approached the second master.
"What did you say when you went to the county lord's courtyard?" Finally, Gu Tianyou asked.
"Slave, slave, she said, ......" Yuzhu's face turned pale, large pieces of sweat flowed down her forehead, her tongue was knotted, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence.
……
……
The sky above the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion was gloomy, and the whole sky seemed to be about to fall.
When Yuzhu left Gu Tianyou's study, the whole person collapsed.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Gu Qingyue went to Begonia Garden alone with an umbrella when everyone else was hiding in the yard.
Although the matter of the eldest princess's mansion is no longer being pursued by Mrs. Gu, Gu Qingyue still goes to the dining hall every day to recite scriptures, copy scriptures, and worship the Buddha with all her heart, giving people a feeling of careful thought.
Old Madam Gu's anger slowly dissipated, they are all children and grandchildren of the Gu family, and they always hope that everything is good.
"Why are you here now?" Old Madam Gu was having dinner when she saw her wet skirt and said in surprise.
"Grandmother, I was just about to eat, and suddenly remembered that the pot of daffodils I planted in your yard last month was about to bloom, and it could not be rained, so I was anxious to come and see it immediately." Gu Qingyue raised her hand and touched the rain on her face, and her sincere look finally made Old Madam Gu feel compassion.
She asked Cuizhu to take a clean handkerchief to wipe her granddaughter's face, and said, "It's just a pot of narcissus, it's gone if it's gone, and it's going to run in the rain, I know what you want." It's raining heavily, so Grandma Sun added a pair of chopsticks and ate it and then went back. ”
Gu Qingyue showed a childlike look of satisfaction on her face, and said, "Thank you, grandmother, I'll send the narcissus to the back first, and then come to eat." ”
"Second Miss, let the slave come." Cuizhu stepped forward and said with a smile, in the past, Gu Qingyue was the most favored by Old Madam Gu, and Haitang Garden could come if she wanted to.
"No, I'll just come, I know where to put it." Gu Qingyue said, holding the narcissus in her hand and walking towards the backyard, her steps were extraordinarily light, and she was like a bright and cheerful girl, Old Madam Gu looked at it and nodded lightly, and said:
"This girl was originally a good one, but her mother-in-law had a bad heart." Old Madam Gu has been in the back house for many years, and she has also come from the struggle, but she was dissatisfied with the eldest lady before, so she relied a little more on the shrewd and capable Lu family, and now through these few things, after a little thought, you can think of the reason.
The rain was pouring down, Gu Qingyue took the pot of daffodils, walked along the corridor in the backyard to the east eaves, stood on tiptoe and put it on the wooden frame, then looked around, and then reached out and knocked on the wooden door three times-
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Second Miss......" Then a soft voice sounded, and a hand stretched out from behind the wooden door.
Gu Qingyue quickly took out something from his sleeve and put it in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Give it to the white fox to eat, eat three meals in a row, don't show your stuffing." ”
"Yes." The hand immediately retracted, Gu Qingyue's face regained a bright girlish smile, and after flicking the water droplets on the daffodil, she walked back to Old Madam Gu's side.
She was cautious everywhere, she seemed more sensible and well-behaved than before, and after dinner, she read two pages of scriptures with Mrs. Gu, and waited for Mrs. Gu to fall asleep, before holding an umbrella and leaving Begonia Garden with satisfaction.
Her heart was relieved, Lu was right, her grandmother liked her very much, and she would definitely not take it back because of an accident for so many years, so as long as she behaved well enough and knew the general, she could still regain her favor.
It rained for two days, and it didn't clear up until the third day.
As soon as the rain stopped, Yuzhu, the third-class maid of Begonia Garden, arrived at Peach Blossom Garden, saying that the queen mother specially ordered someone to send a batch of good materials from the palace, and asked the old lady to distribute clothes to the ladies in the house, and asked Gu Qingwan to go over and pick a few horses.
"Has the rest of us already arrived?" Gu Qingwan didn't move and asked.
"Back to the county lord, it's almost here." Yuzhu didn't dare to raise his head, and said cautiously.
"I'll wait for the second young master, I'll go with him in a while, you can go back first." Gu Qingwan said.
Gu Qingzhao rarely came back from vacation, so he should take him to his grandmother to say goodbye.
"Yes." Yuzhu lowered his head, turned around and walked out.
