Gu Man and Gu Ru are not stupid, hearing what Xiao said this, they immediately defended, "The third aunt is so unreasonable, yesterday's incident was obviously provoked by Gu Xin'er herself." Everyone in the house knows that we sisters never take the initiative to cause trouble, if she hadn't caused trouble herself, how could we have argued with her? ”

"Today's incident is also that we found out that she wanted to run to the front yard to find Shen Guogong, and everyone was watching, if she really ran out and made a joke, how would people think of our Gu family. My third sister and I went to stop her, but she saw that we had ruined her good deeds, so she pulled us and beat us. Today, in front of so many guests, we were beaten by her into such an embarrassed look, and we will not have the face to go out in the future. ”

The two of them were already smart, and they had already discussed countermeasures with their aunts, and they condemned Gu Xin'er's crime to death in a few words.

This is also the result of Gu Xin'er's previous behavior being too flamboyant and rampant, and everyone present believed Gu Man and Gu Ru's words. Even Xiao was a little shaken.

Old Madam Gu was in a very bad mood today, she was made angry by Lin Ruan and the Shen family, and the girls in the family were in a mess in front of the guests, she really lost her face, and she didn't want to listen to any more explanations and quibbles at this time, so she made up her mind directly.

"Messing around all day long, are you still the same identity you used to be? Today, I have already ordered you not to step out of the yard for half a step, but instead of listening, you even got into a fight with your sisters and lost all your face! Go to the ancestral hall and kneel to copy the Buddhist scriptures, when will you copy those Buddhist scriptures a hundred times, and when will you come out again! ”

"And you, Gu Man and Gu Ru, you two don't think that I really don't know anything! From today on, you will all let me stay in my own courtyard and be grounded to pick and write Buddhist scriptures! ”

Gu Man and Gu Ru breathed a sigh of relief, this result was much lighter than they originally expected, wasn't it just grounded to copy scriptures, for them, it was nothing at all. Compared to Gu Xin'er's punishment, it is really not worth mentioning.

Gu Xin'er's face turned pale and she bit her lower lip. Sure enough, the adopted daughter is nothing, she also made a mistake, those two lowly concubines only need to be grounded, but she has to go to the ancestral hall to kneel and copy the scriptures a hundred times!

Xiao Shi was distressed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead, "Mother, although Xin'er has made a mistake, please pity her for the grievances in her heart, don't let her kneel in the ancestral hall, okay?" Let her copy it in my yard, a month or two, even half a year. ”

Old Madam Gu felt irritable for a while, "You shut up for me!" She can be where she is today, and you are indispensable! If you mess around here again, beware that I will punish you together! ”

Gu Lian glared at her fiercely, "You don't think the house is lively enough, right?" Hurry up and take this evil obstacle to the ancestral hall and kneel! ”

And so it was settled.

Gu Xin'er was imprisoned in the ancestral hall and knelt in front of the ancestral tablet.

Although the ancestral hall is also in the Gu Mansion, it is really not something that ordinary people can live in, it is cold and scary, Gu Xin'er has been overthinking when she is close to Japan, her body is not as good as before, she knelt in the ancestral hall and copied the scriptures all night, and there was nothing to eat, she was cold, afraid, hungry and tired, and fell ill the next day.

Old Madam Gu was really annoyed by Gu Xin'er's troubles, so she made up her mind to teach her a painful lesson this time, grinding her temperament down at one time, not letting people ask Gu Xin'er to see a doctor, and let a few grandmothers guard Gu Xin'er, asking her to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet all the time to copy the scriptures, and not to rest for half a moment.

Unlike Gu Xin'er, Lin Ruan is extremely happy and moved at the moment.

After she followed Shen Guogong back to Shen's house, she felt the taste of being held in the palm of her hand.

Not only did Shen Guogong spoil her, but even her uncle Shen Zhendong and cousin Shen Tingyu were also very kind to her.

Shen Zhendong likes this niece who looks very similar to his little sister very much, and after contacting Lin Ruan, he directly asked people to come over with a box of silver tickets, "Ah Ruan, this is a meeting gift from your uncle, don't be too cheesy, this is very good, it is not as good as this real money, what you want to eat and wear, buy it yourself, if it is not enough, come to your uncle to ask for it." ”

In fact, when they came back from the border pass, they brought a lot of things, but those things were prepared according to the original Gu Ruan's preferences, and they didn't match Lin Ruan at all. And with those things to send Lin Ruan, not only Lin Ruan may respond, but they themselves are even more responsive.

Lin Ruan looked at the box of silver, moved and funny, "Uncle, I'm not bad for money, those stores in my hands can get a lot of money every month." ”

Shen Zhendong waved his hand: "Take the money even if it's not bad, this is my uncle's intention, and I can't shirk it." ”

Tong Shi also said: "The elder gives it, you can't give it, Ah Ruan, you can accept it." ”

Lin Ruan had no choice but to accept it, but he had already thought about how to repay his uncle and aunt in the future.

Gu Tingyu scratched his head and thought for a long time, and finally sent Lin Ruan the deed of two shops, "Ah Ruan, cousin has nothing to give you, I heard that you have a business in Kyoto, you can keep this deed, and you don't have to rent a shop in the future." ”

Lin Ruan is not short of shops now, among the Shen family's dowry, there are several shops with good lots, as well as a few Zhuangzi, and she is now a little rich woman who holds a lot of real estate. But since it was her cousin's heart, she accepted it first, and then slowly reciprocated it later.

As for Shen Guogong, he didn't give Lin Ruan any other gifts, because he had already prepared a big gift for Lin Ruan in his heart, and Old Madam Shen also fully supported it.

Shen Guogong really liked this granddaughter more and more, especially the matter of the telescope in front of him, Shen Guogong regarded Lin Ruan as a treasure, "Ah Ruan, do you know how useful the telescope you built is on the battlefield?" This time, Yanping Pass was a big victory, and the telescope really made a great contribution. ”

As early as when he received the telescope sent by the emperor to the border pass, Shen Guogong was full of curiosity about the county lord of Fuyou who made the telescope, and planned to meet him after returning to Beijing, but he never dreamed that it would be his own granddaughter.

Lin Ruan said with a smile: "It's just an object, it can be of limited use, and the credit is still on my grandfather and thousands of Great Zhou soldiers, Ah Ruan doesn't dare to take credit." ”

Shen Guogong loves Lin Ruan even more in his heart, he is smart and not arrogant, his temperament is calm and proper, and he is also filial, which is really good anywhere.

After resting at home for a long time, Shen Guogong reluctantly entered the palace.

When the emperor saw him, he was in a good mood. This time, Yanpingguan won a great victory, not only recovering the lost land, but also beating the Beidi Kingdom to prostrate himself, how could the emperor be unhappy.

Therefore, Shen Guogong's gift had not yet continued, and the emperor personally helped him up: "Shen Aiqing, please hurry up, hurry all the way back, you must be tired, why don't you rest in the house for a while?" ”
