Chapter 42: Guilt
In his previous life, when Gu Yunjin closed his eyes in Lingbei at a young age, the Xu family was still alive in Beijing, but Gu Yunjin knew that the Xu family was not doing well.
When Gu Yunjin was sent out of the capital by the Yang family, Xu's health was extremely poor, he was sick in bed all day, coughing and dreaming for more than 20 days in a month, and for a long time, he couldn't sleep well at night, he couldn't wake up during the day, and the days were extremely hard.
On the contrary, it was Gu Yunjin who suffered a little in Lingbei, but when he died, he walked happily and did not experience too long of repetition and tossing.
In her own words, early death and early reincarnation are more than Lisuo.
That autumn, Wu sent a letter to Gu Yunjin, and the letter lamented Xu's illness.
The family's money was not spent, the doctors were changed one by one, even in the Shilang Mansion, Xu Yan wanted to be famous and faced, refused to ask people to say that he treated the eldest sister harshly, and carried the old lady Min and the Yang family behind his back, and quietly sent silver and medicinal materials to Beisan Hutong, and introduced good doctors, but it was still useless.
Gu Yunjin was lying on the hospital bed at that time, and he had already untied his heart with his stepmother and sister-in-law, and he tasted the taste of being a patient again, thinking that Xu was worse than her, and his sympathy and guilt for his stepmother were even more significant.
Recalling those, Gu Yunjin took Xu's hand, walked to the stone table in the courtyard, and asked Cuizhu to cushion the stone bench, and then let Xu sit down: "It's a good day today, and the sun is warm." ”
Hearing this, Xu smiled and said, "Yunjin will also sit for a while." ”
Gu Yunjin responded.
After settling down, Mama Shen took out the stacks of tin foil for folding ingots, and when Wu sent the guests back, a small half pot had already been folded in the courtyard.
Gu Yunjin folded while thinking about Xu's condition.
Her elders are very shallow.
Her parents died early, her grandfather also died in battle, her grandmother was indifferent to them, and she was not close to other uncles and aunts, and when she moved out of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, she was even more estranged.
In the Xu family, even the Xu family can't please him, let alone Gu Yunjin?
When I married into the Yang family, I saw the warmth and coldness in it, where is there still respect and closeness to the elders?
Her maternal ancestor Su family is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, even if they are blood relatives, they haven't moved around for a long time, and they really can't remember much.
In this way, she has a filial heart, and there is no one who can make her filial.
When Gu Yunjin figured out Xu's goodness, she couldn't help Xu's anymore.
In this life, she is still shallow in her kinship, but fortunately, there is still the Xu family.
If the imperial doctor invited by Mrs. Jia can cure Xu, it will be really good, even if it can't be cured, it will be better to toss every day, and every day will be painful.
"Madam," Gu Yunjin called Xu softly, "Next time the eldest lady of the Jia family asks the imperial doctor, you let him take a closer look." ”
Just now, Xu Shi saw that Mrs. Jia was kind, so she naturally didn't refuse, and now when she heard Gu Yunjin say, she smiled and said: "I'm in good health, and I've been taking medicine, it's not a big problem, although it's a neighbor, but I don't know each other well, people are polite, we don't want to trouble her with a thick face." ”
Gu Yunjin was not surprised that the Xu family would say this, the Xu family had a gentle personality and refused to nag people.
"It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, her family is not in Beijing, and there may be inconvenient places in ordinary times, we can help some, it can be regarded as a relationship," Gu Yunjin relieved Xu, afraid that she would answer casually, and turned his head to Wu and said, "Sister-in-law, please leave this matter to you, seeing a doctor is more important than being cheeky." ”
Wu's temperament was straightforward, and he helped persuade: "Yunjin is right, Mrs., you are afraid of trouble, I am not afraid, besides, that lady looks like a warm-hearted person, we don't accept her favors, people may think that we don't like her as a new neighbor, and I will tell her when the time comes." ”
Xu couldn't resist the two of them, and her heart was also warm, she knew that her daughter-in-law had always been filial, and she was flattered by the changes in her stepdaughter this month, thinking of the paper she brought back two days ago, her eyes were slightly hot, and she asked: "The house should really send my mother's things to the alley to worship during the Qingming Festival?" I'm here, isn't it appropriate? ”
Gu Yunjin laughed: "It is a matter of course to be a sacrificial parent for children, and there is nothing inappropriate." Now everyone outside says that the Xu family is not good, they are trying their best to seek fame, and they will not regret it. Your mother's fiftieth birthday, not only here but also in the squire's mansion. These incense should have been received by the old lady, but she was treated badly in the past, but now she doesn't dare. ”
Xu's eyes were moist.
She remembered very well that every time she worshipped her ancestors before she got married, the Shi family was snubbed.
Obviously it was what her mother deserved, but she never enjoyed it, Xu fought for it, but she didn't get half of the benefits in the hands of Mrs. Min.
After many years, the Xu family has no other thoughts, so I hope that the tablet of the Shi family can be enshrined, and now, it can finally turn over.
Hoarse, Xu said, "Yunjin, thank you." ”
Gu Yunjin sucked the tip of her nose, she actually couldn't stand this "thank you", she had too much guilt about Xu, what she had said when she was young and ignorant, even if Xu never bothered with her, she knew that it was very hurtful.
By the time it was time for lunch, the folded ingots had already filled several bags of ingots.
In the afternoon, the Xu family wanted to take a nap, and Gu Yunjin told the Wu family that he wanted to go out.
In front of the Xu family before, the Wu family didn't ask carefully, but now she was free, and she said in a low voice: "You asked people to bring the letter back, I was a little foggy, why did they suddenly remember this stubble?" ”
Gu Yunjin happened to talk to the Wu family, and said: "I told the eldest aunt that the wife wanted to sacrifice the old lady of the Shi family, and the uncle let people mix it up a few days ago, for him, the old lady can't agree or not, when you go back to the mansion to get something, don't say anything."
I'll give my sister-in-law a clue, and the picture is not to take one or two things for offering, but to let the old lady spit out all the things left by the old lady of the Shi family, those should be our wife's, what kind of thing is she deducting it? ”
Wu raised her eyebrows, she agreed with Gu Yunjin's idea, one is one, two is two, Old Lady Min is not authentic, it's just that it's not easy.
"Mrs. didn't give it when she came out of the pavilion, and she didn't give it when the Shi family came to ask for it before, and now she is willing to spit it out?" Wu groaned, "Old lady Min, I'm afraid I'd rather smash and burn it than give it to my wife." ”
Gu Yunjin's smile added a little cunning, and he said to the Wu family: "I want to pull the handle of the people around her, I already have some eyebrows, I'm not afraid that she won't vomit." ”
"It's good if you have an idea," Wu Shi finished speaking, thought about it, and still cared for it, "If you want to help, just tell me, no matter what, even if things can't be done, you have to take care of yourself." ”
Gu Yunjin chuckled: "I'm not afraid of annoying her, it's a big deal if I pack up my things and move back to Beisan Hutong, can she still eat me?" Then again, even if she is angry now, she won't dare to let me move out of the Shilang Mansion. ”
The aunt and sister-in-law muttered, and Gu Yunjin took the two maids out of the door, but unfortunately she asked the two pawnshops again and didn't ask for a result, which made her sigh.
