Chapter 16: Counterattack
Mother Song's family is sure to get it back, but as for the ransom of the property, it is not that the old lady Gu can make a decision independently, Chungui just put forward his own wishes, and without waiting for the old lady to open her mouth, she retired first with great knowledge and interest, at this juncture, she can't just make the old lady angry to death, it's too cheap to come, and the gains outweigh the losses.
But as soon as he turned around, Chungui did not stop fighting back.
She walked out with Mrs. Xing and said in a low voice: "Grandmother don't you think that Mama Liu can't say a word today, it's too abnormal." ”
"If you don't warn, I really haven't noticed!" The old lady Xing wrapped her little feet, and she was old again, although she didn't have a few steps, she was trembling and slowly swallowing when she walked, so she simply sat down on the stone pier set up under the shade of a tree, and pointed to another one to let Chungui also sit, and then said: "That old Diao slave, who is usually the most arrogant, although he doesn't dare to contradict me, seeing that I squeeze her housewife like that, he will definitely help, it is true that there is something abnormal today, but it seems that he is suddenly afraid of me." ”
"It's not that granddaughter is arrogant, I'm afraid that the person Mama Liu is really afraid of is not her uncle and grandmother." lowered her voice and told her guess with reservations, of course, what she concealed was confirmed by A-Niang's undead voyeurism.
Old Lady Xing's expression suddenly became solemn: "Chun'er, your suspicion is not trivial, is there any evidence." ”
"Don't hide it from my grandmother, my granddaughter has no evidence, but when I think of these doubts, I always feel that it is not practical to find out clearly, so my granddaughter hopes that my grandmother can help and test again."
Old Lady Xing didn't rush to agree this time, and thought about it for a long time before she said: "If it is true, the behavior of the clan is such a vicious thing that kills people's lives, and the national law does not tolerate it, what qualifications does Gu Changrong have to be the head of the clan!" This matter must be investigated, and if Chun'er needs any help, it will be blunt. ”
Regarding Mrs. Xing's reaction, Chungui actually already has a bundle of bamboo in her heart - Gu Changxing and his wife support her so much, where is the purpose of making friends so simple? And what Mrs. Xing said just now also clarified their ultimate purpose, or quid pro quo.
They can cooperate with the spring return, but they must get the position of sect leader.
"The granddaughter is also worried, the position of the patriarch is related to the rise and fall of the family, in the granddaughter's opinion, Brother Huaying's talent is really incompetent, not as good as Brother Huaming, it is by virtue of talent to get a student, and he is upright and motivated, and it is a matter of time before he can shoulder the responsibility of the prosperity of the clan."
Although it is said that he is the son of the Huazi generation, if Gu Changrong does not fall, it is inevitable that Gu Huaying will inherit the patriarch as the grandson of the sect in the future, and only Gu Changrong will fall first, and it will be Gu Changxing's turn to take charge of the clan power, and his children and grandchildren will be able to succeed the sect.
When Chungui said this, he actually officially established an alliance relationship with Mrs. Xing.
Then she said her needs: "Today, the aunt of the sect pointed out to the granddaughter the two maids, which are set for the purpose of eyes and ears, but the things that can be tempted, but they can't show the traces first, and the granddaughter has to arrange manpower, which is inconvenient and hindering, so I also hope that the uncle and grandmother will give me instructions on what to do to avoid startling the grass and snakes." ”
Although this was said vaguely, Mrs. Xing understood the meaning of the words.
"Although you have brought back a few old servants of the Song family, they will be watched if they act, not to mention that Guo's mother and Wenxi, and it is related to our family's internal affairs, and it is such a powerful thing, it is not easy for outsiders to know before there is conclusive evidence......" But Mrs. Xing suddenly glanced at Chungui and said with a smile: "What a ghost, how do you know that I have arranged manpower in the Zong family?" ”
Chungui lowered his eyelids, and looked very well-behaved and modest: "Last time, my grandmother was worried about her granddaughter's lifelong events, and told her granddaughter that her grandmother had other intentions, but her granddaughter thought that her grandmother had always been wary of her grandmother, so where would she invite her grandmother to be present when Mrs. Shen came to visit for a day, and then she had that plan in her heart?" But my grandmother heard the news so quickly......"
"It's a pity that you're so smart, but you're a daughter." Mrs. Xing sighed, and then carefully spoke, very sure: "Remember the few people I told you, act according to what I said, and the news can be handed out, don't look at the patriarch and the sect woman are arrogant, and insatiable, to deal with the family and people, their means are really not on the table, you can rest assured, as long as you do what I say, you will not startle the snake." ”
Chungui remembered Mrs. Xing's explanation word for word, and then continued to move forward with her.
As expected, Gu Changrong really didn't dare to care about the redemption of the land at this time, and it was not a loss for them to say that they were not at a loss, because in the past two years, the good land in their hands bought from the Li family at a low price has also generated a lot of income, and now it is not given in vain, and the principal has been recovered a lot.
But the people in the first room of the Zong family, greed has become a habit, but they don't think so in their hearts, only the handle has been pinched in their hands, Gu Changrong is not unaware that there are already people coveting his position as the sect leader, and now is not the time to care, so he can only have no choice but to compromise.
In the evening of this day, because Qu Chu was bored, he was playing in the courtyard inside and outside the Zong's house, and he saw Gu Huaying's wife Wu coming to meet her, she didn't care about it at first, but when she passed by, she suddenly saw Wu Shi take her footsteps, frowned and looked at her, stood for seven or eight breaths, shook her head before continuing to move forward, Qu Chu's heart moved.
She had been wandering around the world for some time, and she knew that there were some people who, although they could not witness the undead like the Spring Return, were somewhat sensitive, and wondered how far Wu's perception could go.
So Xiang followed Wu and blew on the back of her neck.
Wu immediately stood still, looked back with doubts, and laughed at herself at the maidservant who was mixing with her: "Xu is that there have been too many things that have happened recently, which makes me suspicious and uneasy, why do I always feel that someone is secretly watching." ”
The maidservant looked around and said with a smile: "Grandma, this is really an illusion, there is no shelter here, it is very bright, where is there anyone peeping?" ”
No one is watching, but there is a ghost...... Qu Chu pursed her lips, but she was interested, and simply followed Wu all the way forward, until Wu lifted the curtain and entered the house, and she also went in directly from outside the curtain, but at a glance she saw Gu Huaying, who was half leaning on the bed, flirting with a smart maid.
Even if the Wu family walked in, Gu Huaying was not willing to let go of the servant girl's little hand, but the servant girl was ashamed, so she broke free, blushed and blessed the Wu family, and twisted her waist to hide.
Qu Chu stared at the Wu family, didn't see the displeasure on her face, pursed her lips again, and said in her heart, "This is another virtuous woman with three virtues and four virtues, but it's a pity that Gu Huaying's goods have been ruined." ”
As soon as Gu Huaying spoke, she was dissatisfied: "You have been invited three times and four times, and you have called me back from outside, what is there to burn my eyebrows." ”
At this time, there were only two husband and wife left in the house, and such a female ghost was added.
Wu still remained respectful and polite, as if he didn't hear Gu Huaying's dissatisfaction: "Originally, I didn't dare to disturb Xianggong to go to school, but I just ...... In this period of the family, it was too restless to have a real accident, to put it mildly, the grandfather had already given in and allowed Aunt Cang to bury her ancestors, but the concubine looked at it, but Sister Chun didn't like to give up on it, first invited the old lady of the Changfang of the Changfang to come forward, and then succeeded Reignwood as the heir of her house, followed by the return of Mother Song, and forced to redeem the property...... Sister Chun is now powerful, and if you want to talk about grudges, it is our family, especially Xianggong, so the concubine wants that Xianggong should take the initiative to reconcile with Sister Chun. ”
Gu Huaying became more and more impatient: "Dead girl, if it weren't for the fact that she still had a little look, it would be Zheng Sanye...... This is also a picky master, married to the county lord of a clan, still not satisfied, and look down on the maidservants, prostitutes and the like, always want to ask for a country and a city, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of the outer room, but also indicate to be from a good family, I thought, a few women in a small family have both talents and appearances, everyone is beautiful and unwilling to be a human outer room, and only this dead girl in our clan must be able to meet Zheng Sanye's wishes, sure enough, Zheng Sanye looked at each other, and he was worried about it, waiting for her to be carried to the outer room in addition to the suit, and asked me to ask for permission, how do I know if Aunt Cang is not happy to live or die, even Gu Huaqu's cowardice dared to glare at me about this, and I couldn't explain it to Zheng Sanye. ”
In addition, seeing that things didn't work out, Zheng Sanye gave him benefits first, and let him go to the state to study and become a student, where can he be allowed to regret it?
Just this one thing, but he taught Gu Huaying to smash the pot, and he didn't please both ends.
At this time, he said ruthlessly: "If you want me to mean, just except for this dead girl, Zhao Zhizhou asked, and said that she didn't have that life to die of a violent illness, and Zhao Zhizhou would still be an orphan girl for her, and we would not forgive?" Grandfather looked forward and backward, and even Daddy disagreed. ”
"Don't just talk about cruel things." Wu sighed: "The master and the old lady, there have been a lot of troubles recently, no, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt of Yu, when they heard that Hua Bush not only replaced Hua Qu as the heir of the first house of Aunt Cang, but the Zong family also returned the original fields, and came to make a fuss, saying that when Hua Qu came back in the future, how would they deal with themselves." ”
"Where can Gu Huaqu come back?" Gu Huaying sneered: "Do you think I just said cruel words, don't dare to be ruthless, I set up a trick to lure Gu Huaqu to lose all his money, and I persuaded him with good intentions, as long as he helps me and gives the dead girl to Zheng Sanye, I will pay off the debt for him, he got to that point, and he still refused, but taught me a lesson, let me not beat his sister's idea, with this roadblock, can I still succeed?" I had already sent him to see Lord Yama, and he still wanted to come back! ”
These words frightened the Wu family, his face was shaky, and he couldn't believe it for a long time: "Xianggong, what you said is to scare the concubine......
"I'm full, I have nothing to do, what are you doing to scare you!"
"This, this is a human life......
"As far as Gu Huaqu is concerned, it's not as good as a mourning dog, and it's worth a human life." Gu Huaying snorted coldly: "If you want to achieve great things, how can you do it if you are not ruthless, the grandfather and master of our family, it is because of their soft hearts that they have fallen into such a situation now, they don't listen to me, and I don't bother to ask about the affairs of the family, in my opinion, fame is not famous, it is not a big deal originally, even if I am admitted to the top prize, I have to start from a seven-grade official, look at the Rongguo Mansion, send a daughter into the palace as a concubine, it is enough for several generations to be prosperous and rich, I just wait for the time when I can be the master." ”
After saying that, he walked away.
Wu sat down on the bed, and only after a long time did he hide his face and cry: "My father, you have chosen such a marriage for me, it is really a dead child." ”
