Chapter 18 People are close and distant

For such a good thing as spreading branches and reproducing offspring, the Gu family, as the ancestor of the family, naturally agrees with it in his heart. She had also wanted to add a few reliable concubines to her three sons' rooms earlier, but the eldest son was an official in the capital, and the second son was fighting in Jiaozhi, and she really couldn't look down on the third son, so the matter dragged on. This time, since these girls were sent by the British public order, she personally saw them and assigned them one by one, and only left the two reserved for the second son to serve for the time being.

There were suddenly twelve more people with special and embarrassing identities in the family, and the girls, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law up and down the inner courtyard were also quite complaining, and even the girls serving in each room were also very dissatisfied with the new ones.

On this day, Qiu Zhen was cleaning up Zhang Yue's room, when he suddenly heard the sound of the curtain outside, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Linglong, the big girl next to Dongfang's side, who bent over and walked in. Strange in her heart, she dropped the duster in her hand and greeted her, and asked with a smile: "Why does Sister Linglong have time to sit today?" ”

"How can I be so idle!" Although he is only fifteen years old, Linglong is a person personally selected and trained by the Dongfang Clan, and he is almost the same as the Lingxi in front of the old lady in the second room, and he was very reserved in the past. At this time, seeing that there were only autumn marks in the room, she asked thoughtfully, "I heard that there is an amber next to the third young master now?" Why is it just that you're cleaning up the house? ”

Qiu Zhen hurriedly smiled: "The old lady called her to question." ”

As soon as she heard this, Linglong's face showed a bit of ridicule. She looked around and found that there were really no outsiders, so she immediately pouted and said, "Mrs. originally sent me to invite the third wife to talk, but I didn't expect the third wife to be there." Alas, my wife was in a good mood when she woke up this morning, but she was so disgusted by something that she didn't even eat breakfast, and she is still crooked on the bed. ”

"Who is so bold as to dare to upset the second wife?"

"Isn't it my eldest young master? cough, in fact, the eldest young master was just confused for a while, and the result was ...... Zixia The newcomers are all enchanting, not as knowledgeable as those of us who know the roots, and they are honest, just like the eldest young master's original most useful Luo Ying was personally selected by his wife, and he was the most gentle and reliable, but in the end, an outsider took the lead. If you want me to say, you have to look at that amber too, otherwise if something happens, you won't be able to cry. ”

When Autumn Scar first heard about men and women, two red clouds appeared on his face, but gradually the more he listened, the more frightened he became. Although it is not uncommon for everyone's sons to be fourteen or fifteen years old, Zhang Chao has just turned thirteen years old. Thinking of Amber's demeanor and demeanor as if she was everyone's daughter, and being valued by the old lady, her face turned a little pale.

Linglong was already gritting her teeth as she spoke, and when she saw Qiu Zhen unconsciously wringing the handkerchief in her hand, she couldn't help but comfort her a few more words, and then gloated and said, "However, it is the eldest lady who is the most unhappy this time." You don't know, the eldest master will not go to Nanjing this time, and the news just came that he is going to Zhejiang to control Haitang, so he will probably not take the eldest lady and the eldest lady and the fourth young master. The old lady sent a message to the two girls to follow and serve, and I heard that the eldest lady had dropped a vase in the room......"

"Ahem!"

Linglong was about to continue, but when she heard this cough, she jumped up in shock. Turning her head stiffly, she realized that it was Zhang Yue who opened the curtain and came in, and her heart suddenly became even more up, and she hurriedly lowered her body and saluted. Seeing that Zhang Yue's face was not very good-looking, she didn't dare to stay here and chew her tongue more, so she hurriedly said a few words and left in a hurry.

"Young Master......"

Seeing that Qiu Scar was about to speak and stopped, his cheeks were flushed, revealing a different kind of girlish feelings, Zhang Yue put away the face that had just been rigid, stretched his waist and sat at the head of the bed, and stretched out his slap to pat it beside him.

"Autumn Scar, come here and sit down."

Qiu Zhen was full of fear at this time that Zhang Yue really heard what Linglong had just said, and the others didn't react for a while, so she walked forward in a daze, but as soon as she sat down next to the head of the bed, she immediately jumped up, her face full of panic. But the next moment, she felt her hand being pulled hard, so she sat down involuntarily.

"I heard what Linglong said just now." Feeling that the hand he was holding was shaking violently, he couldn't help but shake his head, and there was a little more comfort in his tone, "I can't care about other people's affairs, she said it's not a big deal if you listen to it, anyway, it's her who chews her tongue, not you." But ......"

He gently squeezed the soft hand and said word by word: "Big brother is big brother, I am me." No matter how good amber is, it can't match the love between you and me for so many years, do you understand? ”

"But amber is a British ...... There was also an old lady who ...... "Autumn Scar was surprised and delighted, and suddenly he couldn't even finish his words, and he was a little incoherent, "Besides, Amber is literate and literate, and she is born well......"

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Yue was so angry and funny when he heard it, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pinch Qiu Zhen's plump cheeks, "Could it be that the new people are good-looking and capable, and I will leave you behind?" If you wish, I can teach you how to read. You don't have to worry about the British grandfather and grandmother, I'm still young, who cares about me? ”

Qiu Zhen only felt indescribable joy at this time, but he didn't notice that Zhang Yue's actions just now were already light. She only knew that she was by her side when the young master was recuperating, and she was also by her side when the young master was studying, and now there is a new person around the young master, but she is still the special one. Her originally empty heart was filled in an instant, and her eyes were a little more bright.

Although he made such a promise to Qiu Zhen, Zhang Yue thought about the amber in his heart. It was a person sent by the British government, and she was often called by the Gu family to ask and talk, but she never showed any arrogance, she spoke to other girls amiably, and she was also respectful and courteous to him and Zhang Zhuosun - even so polite that she didn't come to him - and she didn't leak anything when she started to do things. For such a measured and capable girl, he really can't find fault.

And in the main room, it was not only Amber that Gu called for questioning, but also Zixia, Yufen and Bi Shao, who were assigned to the other three grandsons. Looking at the four thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, her complexion gradually sank.

She has different expectations for her son and grandson, and it is a good thing for her son to have more heirs, but now her eldest grandson is only in his early thirteens, and there is actually a girl who hooks up with personnel, how can this be? So, looking at Zixia, who had a bewitching body with a pink face, she frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, and felt more and more unpleasant.

After a moment of silence, she whispered to the Lingxi beside her: "Later, when you go to see the second daughter-in-law, just say that it is my words, and Zixia's monthly supply will all be compared to your share, and two more clothes will be cut." ”

Hearing this, Lingxi agreed in his mouth, but he couldn't help but glance at Zixia, and saw her kneeling down to thank her with joy, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Her share is also the share of the first-class eldest girl in the family, and the aunt and the room are all one level higher, which shows that this Zixia is not pleasing to the old lady. At that moment, she glanced at the other three again, and found that Yufen and Bi Shao both showed unconcealed envy, and only Amber stood there quietly.

Even if he is from the British government, how can that prince support a few girls? Those who serve in front of the lord are just that, and there is a son and a half daughter who can also be by his side; But the four young masters are still young, and they are all at an uncertain age, when they marry wives and concubines in the future, where do they remember the happiness of their youth?
