Guhuai Village is named because of the vigorous locust tree at the fork of the road, from the tree, there is a dense house, this house is based on the deep and broad Gu family house as the core, for hundreds of years, the Gu family who lives here, they love each other; Dumping against each other; reciprocity and helplessness; Infighting. Because of the patriarchal blood line, honor and disgrace, and because of the conflict of interests, all of this was not so deeply perceived in the early years of Chungui.

Just because, in general, especially in the eyes of outsiders, as the leading family in Guhuai Village, the first surname, they all enjoy the ancestors through their efforts, only to create such a glory, everyone believes that patriarchy and blood are the most stable connection in the world, as for the conflict - there are still small families, not to mention a large family?

It's nothing more than a tooth accidentally biting the tongue, it's a pure misunderstanding, there is no such thing as life and death, as the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and your own teeth can you still bite your tongue off?

Therefore, Chungui thinks that her grandmother, that is, the wife of the Gu family, picks her nose and eyes at her, and regards her as useless, it is not because of deep hatred, but because of different concepts, out of the strictness of the elders, she will teach her stubbornness, and summarize it in a popular sentence - Auntie cherishes me, but the way of cherishing is wrong.

It wasn't until the death of his father that the clan began to force each other step by step, and the greedy face became more and more undisguised, completely revealing the ugliness and hideousness, the clansmen stood in a circle of onlookers, vicious and vicious, cunning disregard and ridicule, and the spring return realized the coldness and cruelty of the so-called patriarchal bloodline, and the weak and the strong are the footnotes of this family.

Of course, the people surnamed Gu are not all vicious and ruthless, there are still some people who sympathize with the situation of widows and orphans, but their strength is too weak to fight against the fierce beast of patriarchy, just like a rabbit facing the bloody mouth of a tiger wolf, no matter how anxious it is, it can only let out a wail - the rabbit will bite when it is anxious, but what if the other party is not human?

When Chungui once again stood under the brick gatehouse of the Zong family, she believed that she was no longer a shivering white rabbit, well, she never seemed to be, because when she realized this beast, she was always planning to bite back, she should be a hunting dog in rabbit skin, oh no, a hunter in sheep's clothing.

Miss Gu silently found the right position for herself, knocked on the door knocker, as she expected, the porter was still full of gloom and arrogance, this slave has always been a wagging tail and begging in front of the patriarch and the wife, but for her, she has changed into a grinning vicious dog - the description of the watchdog is extremely accurate.

The "vicious dog" held his head high and looked at people with his nostrils: "I said big girl, look at your body, is your mother finally breathing?" Don't blame me for not reminding you, the last time you came, you attracted a bunch of idlers to the door, slandering the patriarch of the sect, but the old lady was so angry, only the old lady has always been merciful, pity your father died early, and put on a mother-in-law who does not abide by women's morals, there is no respect for the elder's teaching, and there is no brother's admonition, so I don't care about you in general, but the reprimand is useless, today not only the old lady and the wife are here, but the grandfather has not gone out, and ......I can't tolerate you anymore."

The "vicious dog" "glanced at" the man standing next to him with his nostrils, and spat out: "Where did this come from, the pink-faced man, what kind of Shi Linlang is pretending, the master will not allow you to show off your might!" ”

According to the current customs, the boudoir woman suffered such humiliation, so she had to touch the wall to prove her innocence, but our Gu eldest girl didn't have this awareness, and she didn't need to stage a fierce and unyielding drama again, she smiled at the "evil dog", her lips were red and her teeth were white, and when she turned around, she changed her face again, and she looked at the powder-faced man, oh no, it was Yin Duyu, a staff member who was extremely trusted by Lord Zhizhou, sighed and sighed: "Sir, don't blame, this servant slave is old, and he has always spoken so confused." ”

Yin Duyu looked at the "old fool" in his early thirties, coughed and chuckled, but he didn't mind playing a tiger behind the fox at all, he first ripped off the token on his waist and shook it at the "evil dog": "I was sent by Zhao Zhizhou to inquire about a case of the Gu clan patriarch, as for the eldest girl Gu, today was personally sent back by Mrs. Zhizhou, if you are old and faint and inconsiderate, call someone who understands to come out and speak." ”

The "vicious dog" stretched out his head to look, only to be surprised to see a brocade cart parked seven or eight steps away, and bowed down with an "oops".

He also said that the old lady of the Gu clan was accompanied by several daughters-in-law at this time, touching the horse tag for recreation, and the eldest granddaughter-in-law stood behind her to beat her shoulder, next to a money basket, Gu Shuzhen, the granddaughter who had not yet left the cabinet, counted the "war profits" in a crisp voice, and was comforting the old man who was quiet and quiet, and he heard that Gu Chungui, the nail in his eye, actually brought Mrs. Zhizhou to the door this time, and he was so angry that he buttoned the card, and under the forehead with pearls embedded in it two fingers wide, his eyebrows lit with five zhang of smoke.

"This slut! The last time I hooked up with a group of idlers and made a noise about the clan, I said that I couldn't be spared, and I beat the family law and send it to the nunnery, or simply sink the pond and cut it off, you have to persuade her, saying that you have to admonish her to turn back, this is good, the slut dares to go to the official office! She thought that Mrs. Zhizhou would be able to make decisions for her? The affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, don't say that even the princes and marquis dare not take care of it. ”

The servant woman who entered the room did not dare to indulge the old lady's temperament, and bent her waist to persuade her: "The master instructs, let the old lady and the wife go to the second door to greet them quickly, this Mrs. Zhizhou is the sister of the current queen, and she can't be offended on her face, the old lady will first ask to calm her anger, and wait for Mrs. Shen to explain clearly, if there is no misunderstanding, it is not too late to punish the younger generation." ”

"Since Zhao Zhizhou took office, with the instruction of the Duke of Rongguo, didn't the grandfather go to the government to pay a visit? Why did you change your attitude again? "Old Mrs. Gu is really unwilling.

On the side, her second daughter-in-law secretly pursed the corners of her lips: Although the long house, the uncle and Huaying's father and son are bent on clinging to the Rongguo Mansion, but in the end they failed to succeed, and they are not attached, Zhao Zhizhou is newly appointed, and he is afraid that the Rongguo Mansion will be blamed if he does not take the initiative to pay homage, but since Mrs. Zhizhou took the initiative to come to the door, where did the Gu family dare to turn Mrs. Shen away? Although Concubine Zheng Guifei is favored, the queen is the master of the six palaces, not to mention, the prince is still the grandson, the eldest grandson of the queen's mother, if she really offends Mrs. Shen, she will tell the queen, and the Gu family will have to suffer trouble.

But she didn't persuade her, and her sister-in-law swallowed her anger while calming her mother-in-law's anger, while grinding her back molars and scolding the spring girl in the house.

Mrs. Shen didn't get out of the car in front of the door, her identity was enough to sit in the sedan chair and go straight to the second gate of the Gu family, and accept the greetings of the daughters of the main family.

After setting up enough shelves, he stood on the ground, handed his hand to Chungui to help, and said softly: "Don't worry, girl, I will support you for this matter today." ”

There seemed to be a hint of hoarseness in his voice.

Chungui bowed her head silently, she knew why Madame's voice was hoarse, it was too much to talk - Mrs. Shen insisted on taking her with her on the road, chattering and praising Zhao Dagongzi as her own son, what kind of gentle and polite, Yushu Linfeng, what talent and morality, modest and motivated, and even said that Zhao Dagongzi went out to hang out, and chased a group of beauties behind him......

Wrong, wrong, not a beauty, the current etiquette law only encourages the boudoirs to die for the sake of the name, and resolutely prohibits the girls from confessing to their sweethearts in public...... The admirers who followed behind Zhao Dagongzi were all children of various families.

Mrs. Shen's statement couldn't help but make Chungui think about it.

It must be that I want to be crooked, those boys are all impressed by the talent of Zhao Dagongzi, not because of their appearance.

But as soon as he thought of the word Yushu Linfeng, Chungui couldn't help but think of Zheng Huitang's face and the folding fan in his hand!

Mrs. Shen praised Zhao Gongzi for a long time, isn't it, for fear that she will regret it? What would make you regret it? Chungui couldn't help but shudder.

Well, now, this is not the time to think about that.

Chungui looked at the old lady Gu who was glaring at her hatefully, and hid a mouthful of white teeth without revealing a single mouthful.

The old lady's internal organs were covered with methane, and she was almost able to light a little spark, so even though the head of the family, Gu Changrong, had told her first, she and Mrs. Shen were extremely stiff when they were noisy, especially when Mrs. Shen just mentioned it, it was like that little spark had finally fallen, and the old lady Gu's head was immediately on fire, and her face was black, only because of the little sanity that remained, she pointed the evil ghost on the face of the king of Hades at Chungui: "You still dare to slander the sect family and pick on right and wrong, a few days ago, when you gathered that guy to make trouble, Did I let the Liu family come forward to scold, your biological mother Li, repeatedly disobeyed the elder clan and the old control, and later, dared to sell the wealth without telling it, the widow and orphan daughter moved to Fenyang City, it is already innocent, and finally suffered the curse of God, the disease is riddled with medicine and stone is difficult to treat, you go back to the sect to ask for help, the patriarch and I read that you still have filial piety, how many stubborn deeds, it is no wonder that you can't be disciplined, so the good words admonish, as long as your mother and daughter know their mistakes and return to their old hometown, the clan is not unforgivable, but you die without repentance, and deny it outright, The Li family and your mother and daughter are simply rebellious, of course the clan will regard the Li family as a wife, how can she be allowed to bury her ancestor as a slut, even if your father and ancestor are alive, they will not allow the Li family to defile the lintel! ”

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zong family, Mrs. Gu also immediately echoed her mother-in-law's words, only her attitude was a little more tactful, but she did not reprimand Chungui again, and only said to Mrs. Shen: "I also blame the Li family for being immoral and uneasy in the room, Chungui, this child is still young, and after listening to the instigation of his biological mother, it is inevitable that he will be resentful of the Zong family. He also advised his mother-in-law: "The old lady is not too angry, her body is better, if she is angry about this matter again, how can she be angry?" Now that the Li family is gone, there is no reason to live abroad in the spring, she returned to the sect and was taught by the daughters-in-law that the essence of this child is still filial, and it is not impossible to change. ”

As the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the clan family, although Grandma Gu is not good at talking because of her low seniority, she also has to show her attitude, she gently pulled the spring return, with a little anxiety and comfort, and only reminded her with this "kind" action - you are a helpless orphan girl, how capable is it to confront the entire clan? Mrs. Shen is a noble lady, and her eyes can't see the stakes of this idea clearly? Get off the donkey down the slope well, so as not to die out.

The spring return will also open his mouth, but of course he did not understand this "goodwill".

"Last time, Mama Liu slandered A-Niang in public, how could she condone Diao Servant to insult her mother, so she defended in public, and today in front of her grandmother and all the aunts and aunts, she can only plead again, since the death of her father, such as the heir, how can A-Niang ever disobey the old business decision of the patriarch? There is only one thing, that is, A-Niang refused to obey the will of the patriarch and the wife, and sent her son to Zheng Sanye as a concubine in the outer room, so when the heir brother fled due to chasing debts, A-Niang refused to compromise, and would rather pawn the property to repay the debt, forced to have no choice but to take her son to live outside. The place where A-Niang and her son live is the inner house of Mrs. Ji in Qingyuan, about this matter, Mrs. Ji also repaired the book to explain to the Zong family, however, the patriarch and the wife listened to the instigation of the servant, and actually insisted that A-Niang's innocence was not guaranteed, and it should be regarded as a wife, so wronged, the son did not dare not appeal for the deceased mother, so he asked Zhizhou and Mrs. to preside over justice. ”

Liu was named successively, anxious and angry, she was the companion of Mrs. Gu, and she has always been the most face-to-face among the servants of the Zong family, no one dares to provoke so face-to-face, there is not much consciousness of being a slave and a maid, when even if she is angry, the flame is eight feet high: "The eldest girl keeps saying that the old slave slanders and instigates, this is a bloody mouth, the old slave is nothing more than teaching you on behalf of the old lady, and you have hatred in your heart, so you can reverse right and wrong." ”

Mrs. Shen had already opened her mouth, and when she heard Liu's words, she actually laughed out loud.
