Chapter Eighty-Three: Moving
Gu Shan looked up at her grandmother with red eyes, she didn't complain about the sharpness of her father and sisters in the Gu family at all, she was pitiful, sad and weak.
The old lady's maiden name is Wang, and she is kind and kind-eyed, which is quite approachable.
Both granddaughters and granddaughters love to surround her.
From her face, it can be vaguely seen that she was a beauty when she was young, and the two daughters she gave birth to followed her good looks, especially the youngest daughter is not only a beauty embryo, but also a top talent.
At that time, the first emperor was still in power, and the status of talented women was far less high than today, and more people still chose talented and beautiful women as their wives.
It's a pity that the youngest daughter of the Wang family can only marry Gu Zhan, the famous Gu Zhan of the Gu family!
Not only is her daughter unhappy after marriage, but even the Wang family, who has deep expectations for her younger daughter, is uncomfortable and often feels sorry for her daughter.
After the death of the youngest daughter, the Wang family cherished his father even more, and he had the granddaughter of his stepmother, so he often sent people to Gu's house to pick up Gu Shan.
The Wang family didn't dare to stay with Gu Shan for too long, after all, the Gu family ...... Old Mrs. Gu has always been the knot in Wang's heart, when she was young, she never won, and when she gave birth to children, she never won.
Although she is married to an English duke, her husband's title is higher than her, and her husband's title is hereditary, but if she has a high title, she must live better than others.
The British Mansion is just glamorous on the outside, and it has long been left as an empty shell in the husband's generation.
When Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, the Wang family couldn't sleep at night, for fear that Jinyiwei would rush in and seize the title.
The British duke was on the wrong side at that time, but fortunately, with the help of nobles, they barely survived the liquidation of Emperor Longqing, but they also exhausted what little dignity they had.
This also led to the fact that the British Duke was in the center of the imperial court and had no place to stand, and it was not even as good as the Gu family, who no longer had a title!
Although Gu Zhan, the fourth son of Old Madam Gu, is not angry, he can't stand the eldest son.
How many people have a chance to be in the cabinet?
Gu Qing's chances are said to be relatively large.
The Gu family may regain the title of their ancestors, and the Wang family does not dare to offend the Gu family easily, and they are more and more loving to Gu Shan, even a little better than their own granddaughter.
With Gu Shan here, it will be a constraint on the Gu family, and you can find out more news.
Gu Shan's pleading gaze moved the old lady of the British Mansion, her eyes were slightly sunken, but she didn't answer immediately.
"My mother went early, and there was no one to worship behind me, even if I had filial piety to her and prepared sacrifices, I couldn't enter the ancestral hall when the Gu family worshiped my ancestors. My father's mind was all about having fun with women, and he had already left my mother behind. Now that my stepmother is in charge, they rarely mention my mother. ”
Tears rolled down as if broken threads, and Gu Shan choked up: "Sooner or later, I will get married, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that after leaving the cabinet, they will completely forget my mother, erase the traces of my mother, and even more afraid that my mother won't be able to receive incense offerings over there. ”
The Wang family also wiped the corners of their eyes, they gave birth to children, didn't they expect their sons to be afraid that they wouldn't be able to receive incense after death?
"Your grandmother didn't mention the matter of your named son-in-law...... It's hard for me to speak. ”
"Didn't the third brother be born for my mother?"
Gu Shan's eyes flashed, "If it weren't for my mother's nod, how could my grandmother stop Aunt Li's medicine?" If my mother was still here, the third brother would have been a registered son-in-law a long time ago. ”
Wang's eyes were complicated, and his lips moved slightly, "That's what I said, but Gu Jin has grown up, and your mother has been gone for more than ten years, will it seem abrupt to mention the matter of succeeding Gu Jin at this time?" ”
Doing so not only made the old lady Gu unhappy, but also more likely to offend the Wang family and Aunt Li's brother!
With the strength of the British government now, it will obviously be very troublesome to annoy these families.
It is true that the Wang family loves Gu Shan, but she doesn't care about her son and grandson for a granddaughter, and she thinks that she is not so partial.
The youngest daughter's luck was too bad, not only did she marry an incompetent waste, but the good concubine and brother who were accepted by the master became the cronies and guards of Emperor Longqing.
Accompanied by Emperor Longqing day and night, Li Guard's reputation was not obvious, and I heard that even the Duke of Zhenguo looked at him differently.
is also the Guogong Mansion, and the Zhenguo Gong is the real top noble.
And the reputation of the Wang family is too good, and it has a lot of weight in Shilin, and it is not something that the British can easily offend.
Annoyed these scholars, the imperial history will definitely write a book to impeach the British public.
The Wang family is full of envy for Gu Siye, she plans for her son in the UK, but she doesn't care about Siye's luck in marrying a wife.
Her grandson can't catch up with Gu Jin.
"Aunt Li is honest and responsible, she is too responsible, and I value her support in vain."
Wang Shi hugged Gu Shan's shoulders and said regretfully: "Originally, I asked her to take care of you a little more, thinking that she is good-looking, and she is a child and nurturing, and she can make a few moves with the Wang family who entered the door later, but she is as honest and temperamentless in front of the Wang family." ”
Gu Shan lowered her head to hide her strangeness, and said softly, "She has helped me." ”
Wang was stunned, "She helped you...... Do you still want to put Gu Jin in your mother's name? ”
As if feeling that he had said the wrong thing, Wang coughed embarrassedly, pressed his forehead and said, "I always feel groggy these days, and my energy is not very good." ”
Pointing to the eldest daughter-in-law who was attendant, Wang said, "Take a box of ginseng heart pills." ”
He said to Gu Shan again: "After a while, you will also bring back a box, the newly prepared heart nourishing pill will be good for you." ”
If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed!
Gu Shan threw away the guilt she felt about the Li family and said, "It's not that I'm indifferent and ruthless, Aunt Li's kindness to me, I will always remember it in my heart, and I will always have a way to repay her in the future." ”
"Putting the third brother in my mother's name is actually beneficial to both the third brother and Aunt Li."
"At the beginning, Aunt Li handed over the third brother to her grandmother to raise, I haven't seen how close she is to the third brother over the years, I think her feelings for the third brother will not be too deep, not to mention that she has the fifth brother and the sixth sister by her side, they are the children raised by Aunt Li, usually I also see Aunt Li is the best for them, but she rarely cares about the third brother."
Gu Shan became more and more confident, as if she had really done something that was beneficial to both Gu Jin and Aunt Li, and she fulfilled the mother and son.
"The third brother's talent is excellent, but the identity of the concubine is a big obstacle for him, and I can't see it now, when he enters the official career in the future, the identity of the concubine will definitely be used to provoke, especially in the case of the fourth brother, the Wang family will also use this to attack the third brother."
"If the third brother becomes the son of his mother, he is the original son-in-law, and his identity is one line higher than that of the fourth brother.
After analyzing the same, Gu Shan's face lit up, "My mother has already gone, even if the third brother is recorded in my mother's name, can the dead still be compared with Aunt Li?" I won't stop the third brother from being filial to Aunt Li, this is not much different from Aunt Li handing over the third brother to her grandmother to raise, maybe my grandmother also has this heart, but it's not good to speak. ”
