Chapter 22: Apologies
The old man felt shallow, and the old lady woke up. Qingshu saw her get up and climbed up.
Old Lady Gu held Qingshu down and said with a smile: "It's still early, you continue to sleep." ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "Don't, I want to get up and practice calligraphy." "She's not a smart person, she can only fly first. If not, I am afraid that in the future, I will not only be admitted to the women's school in Fucheng.
It's a good thing for children to be motivated, and Mrs. Gu, as an elder, will not stop her. But in the end, I felt sorry for her, so I made a lot of things she loved to eat in the kitchen.
Not long after the grandfather and grandson had breakfast, Gu Xian came over.
Hearing the maid's reply, Qingshu lowered his head.
After getting up, Mrs. Gu sent Mother Hua to meet Gu Xian and relay Master Wuchen's words to her. Gu Xian got this and came over.
Seeing Qingshu's appearance, Mrs. Gu touched her head and called Gu Xian out.
After muttering to Gu Xian outside for a while, the mother and daughter walked in.
Gu Xian saw that Qingshu hung her head and didn't look at her, her heart was stagnant, thinking about what the old lady said just now, she came over and took Qingshu's hand and said, "The day before yesterday, my mother was too angry to hit you." Qingshu, don't be angry with your mother, okay? ”
Qingshu lowered his head and did not speak.
Old Mrs. Gu also helped to say good things: "Qingshu, your mother's temper has become very irritable after pregnancy. For the sake of your unborn brother, will you forgive her?
Qingshu looked up at Gu Xian and said, "You are not allowed to do anything to me in the future." Otherwise, I will ignore you. ”
These words were a little childish, but they inexplicably put Gu Xian at ease. The daughter is not possessed by demons, but she has become wise.
Gu Xian nodded and said, "Don't worry, my mother will never do anything to you again, but you are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future." "At that time, I was also angry, so I started to fight Qingshu. Before, she had never done anything to Qingshu.
Qingshu nodded.
Gu Xian touched her face and asked softly, "Does your face still hurt?" ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore." "After taking the medicine yesterday, most of the redness and swelling on my face have disappeared.
Speaking of which, this slap was not wronged, who made her rebel, not only called Lin Chengyu's name, but also said that he would sell women in the future. So, I still accepted it when I saw it. However, we must be more cautious in our words and deeds in the future.
Seeing that the mother and daughter had reconciled, Mrs. Gu was very happy: "Xiaoxian, Mother Zhong told me that Qingshu learns things quickly, and I am going to go to Fucheng to invite a gentleman for her." ”
Gu Xian refused without thinking about it: "Mother, Qingshu is still young, it's not too late to ask her husband to teach her in two years." ”
Old Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "After two years, you will fall behind, and it will be difficult to take the entrance examination for the Fucheng Women's School." ”
Gu Xian said: "Mother, I will take Qingshu to the capital next year." When the time comes, let her be admitted to the school in the capital. ”
Old Lady Gu was stunned for a while before asking, "Are you going to the capital next year?" Why haven't I heard you talk about such a big thing? ”
Gu Xian said with a smile: "I received a letter from Xianggong yesterday, and Xianggong said in the letter that I would take my children to the capital next year. ”
Qing Shu glanced up at Gu Xian, and then lowered his head again.
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she frowned and said, "You need money to drink saliva in the capital, you don't have a house or land there, how can you live there?" ”
"Mother, it's not a long-term solution for a family to be separated." She was going to sell all the shops and fields in her hand for money, but she didn't dare to say this to Mrs. Gu. If not, you will definitely be scolded.
Husband and wife are separated, and it is indeed easy to have problems after a long time. So Mrs. Gu didn't refute it, but in this case, she should invite Mr. "Although there are many schools in the capital, people are also very demanding." Since you are ready to let Qingshu take the exam, you should ask her husband to teach her. ”
"Mother, I can teach her to recognize some words now. When she arrives in the capital, she will ask her husband to teach her. ”
Old Mrs. Gu asked rhetorically: "When the child in your belly is born, do you still have time to teach Qingshu?" ”
Like her, Gu Xian has some difficulties in having children. It took three years to get pregnant with Qingshu, and when she gave birth, she was injured again, and she was pregnant again after three years of recuperation. So Gu Xian attaches great importance to this fetus. Based on Mrs. Gu's understanding of Gu Xian, if this baby was a girl, she might be as good to Qingshu as before. If this child is a son, I am afraid that all my thoughts will be on the son.
Gu Xian couldn't answer this question for a while. After all, the child was not born, and I don't know what the situation is. In case the child is not easy to bring, it is really not enough to take care of Qingshu.
Qingshu looked at Gu Xian expectantly and said, "Mother, I want to learn from Mr. In this way, if you enter the capital, you can also be admitted to a good school. ”
Mrs. Gu said: "Please ask Mr. for a period of time to lay a good foundation, and it will be easier to take the entrance examination in the future." ”
Gu Xian felt that this was also reasonable: "Qingshu, if you invite Mr., you can't dry the net for three days and fish for two days, you have to learn from Mr. seriously." ”
Qingshu nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will learn from my husband well, and I will never give up halfway." ”
Seeing Qingshu say this, Gu Xian had no objection.
Mrs. Gu took advantage of the situation and said, "Your house is too small, and you don't have land to live in if you invite your husband." I have a lot of empty rooms, so let Qingshu study here. ”
Gu Xian refused without thinking about it: "No." If you let your younger siblings know, there will be trouble. ”
"Then rent a bigger house."
Gu Xian shook her head and said, "Mother, although my house is not big, it is still possible to vacate a room." ”
In fact, you can change Gu Xian to a big house, and rent a house next to it for Mr. to live in. It's just that Mrs. Gu thinks that Gu Xian is both simple and paranoid, and she is afraid that she will teach Qingshu the same as her. So, she was a little tired to teach herself.
The matter of the house is actually an excuse for Mrs. Gu. She actually didn't want Qingshu to follow Gu Xian. Gu Xian didn't know that people's hearts were sinister, she was afraid that Qingshu would be taught the same as her.
After Gu Xian didn't listen to her and insisted on marrying Lin Chengyu, Mrs. Gu realized that she was wrong, she shouldn't protect Gu Xian so tightly that she thought that everyone in the world was a good person. But it was too late at that time, and Gu Xian couldn't break it anymore. Fortunately, God's mercy opened Qingshu's mind, so that she still had a chance to save.
Old Lady Gu knew that Gu Xian was not afraid of Yuan Shanniang's trouble, she was afraid that gossip would affect Lin Chengyu's reputation: "If Yuan Shanniang doesn't make trouble, you agree to let Qingshu stay in the Gu family to study, right?" ”
With Yuan Shanniang's temperament, how can she not make trouble when she knows this!
Gu Xian said: "If my younger siblings agree, I will let Qingshu stay in the Gu family to study." ”
Old Lady Gu smiled: "You said this yourself, and you can't go back." "It's not difficult to get Yuan Shanniang to agree to this, just give her some sweetness.
Gu Xian chuckled in her heart: "Mother, if Qingshu is allowed to live in the Gu family, my mother-in-law will know that she will be unhappy." ”
Qingshu was unhappy and said, "Mother, it's not a word to speak, that's a puppy." ”
Gu Xian's face froze.
Old Lady Gu also said: "If you say it, it is the water that is spilled, how can you take it back." If your mother-in-law blames, you blame me. ”
If the responsibility is put on the mother, then what has she become? Gu Xian sighed and said, "Okay!" But mother, you have to promise me that you can't follow this girl in everything. ”
Old Lady Gu nodded and said, "Okay." ”
