Chapter 228: Ancestors and Grandchildren
Gu Yutang stayed in the blue yarn cupboard in Lin's house tonight, and after ordering Ah Hua to retrieve the clothes he had changed the next day, he called the maid who was waiting in the pantry to bring hot water.
After Gu Yutang washed, he rested on the soft couch of sour branches and wood placed in the blue gauze cupboard, and the Lin family stayed on the soft couch carved by boxwood outside, with three or four layers of bead curtains in between.
Before going to sleep, Lin took off the hairpin ring and makeup, was carried by Mama Liang, and came to the blue yarn cabinet and talked to Gu Yutang for a long time. Speaking of Lin's yawning, Gu Yutang stopped, personally carried Lin out of the blue yarn cupboard, and rested on the soft couch of boxwood outside.
After putting down the azure water gauze tents tied on both sides of the soft couch, and telling the girl who was keeping vigil in the Lin family's house a few more words, Gu Yutang turned around and went back to the blue gauze cupboard.
Mama Liang on the side picked up the oil lamp and shouted to Gu Yutang who walked towards the blue yarn cupboard, she had something in her heart that she wanted to say to Gu Yutang alone.
Because the Lin family had already fallen asleep, it was not good to talk to Gu Yutang in the inner room. Mama Liang invited Gu Yutang to the ear room next door, sat on the high chair next to the soft couch, and then said.
"Third girl, in fact, in the bottom of the old lady's heart, she still pretends to be a girl, otherwise she would not protect the girl like this. The old lady has raised a total of three girls, the first lady is a smart one, and the old lady will not worry about it when she is young, although the second girl is naughty, but she also listens to the old lady.
Now that both of them are married to good families, the first lady is even more happy as husband and wife, and the old lady is now looking forward to the third girl getting married as soon as possible. ”
Mama Liang and Gu Yutang were talking, and the maids who were waiting in the house all came out of the house with interest, closed the door tightly, and stood in front of the door.
In fact, even if Mama Liang doesn't say it, she knows that her grandmother treats her better now than before. Grandmother used to raise an orphan girl from the fourth room, Gu Jiachu Niangzi, although she had never seen the Gu Jiachu Niangzi, her eldest sister, but she had also heard some from her mother's words.
Chu Niangzi is an orphan girl in the fourth room, her father is the third son of the old lady in the fourth room, and her mother is the girl of the Luo Ping Zhao family.
Because it is a partial house of the Gu family, and the genealogy has always been in the hands of the long house, the father and mother of the first lady did not go to the genealogy.
As soon as the first lady was born, she was called by the old lady of the long house, and she came over, and raised in the Lin family house under the name of the Yang family.
The first lady has a special identity, and when she first came, the maids and daughters in the house did not treat her as the master, but she never caused trouble for her grandmother, nor did she want to get anything from her grandmother, or through her grandmother, she put her dead biological father and mother on the genealogy.
Until the first lady got married and got married from her grandmother's room, she didn't cause a single trouble for her grandmother.
Not only that, but she also heard her mother say that when Chu Niangzi first married into the Fu family, the eldest wife of the Fu family looked down on Chu Niangzi's background, and felt that she was an orphan girl in a partial house, with the life of her father and Kefu, and even the house did not let them round. On the second day after entering the door, I went to stand in the ancestral hall and set up rules.
Fortunately, the first lady is now bitter, and after giving birth to a son and a daughter, she has won the respect of her husband, and her mother-in-law is also very distressed.
Gu Yutang's mouth moved slightly, and when he was about to speak, he was preempted by Mama Liang.
"The third girl is not the first lady, the first lady has no parents and brothers to rely on, and the only one she can rely on is the old lady, so she is very cautious. The three girls are different, the three girls are protected by the eldest wife, presumably if they marry into their husband's family in the future, and their husband's mother-in-law will not look down on the three girls. ”
Although Mama Liang didn't break it, Gu Yutang knew that there were two meanings in her words.
First, she wanted to say that the first lady relied on her grandmother, but she herself was not; Second, she is protected by her father and mother, and it is easy to ignore her grandmother's love, which is to warn her not to forget her grandmother's love, and remember to repay her grandmother's kindness to her in the future.
Sure enough, Mama Liang glanced at Gu Yutang, and when she saw that her face had changed slightly, she knew that she understood what she meant from what she had just said.
In this way, she will be able to pick up the rest of the words.
"The third girl, the first lady is a filial girl, even if she marries into the Fu family, when she is in the New Year's Festival, she can't come back to see the old lady in person, and she will call someone to hand over the message and Tuyi back. In the future, the three girls married into the Hou Mansion, I don't know if they will remember the old lady in their hearts?"
Hearing Mama Liang say this, Gu Yutang could only reply categorically, "Mama, where are these words?" My grandmother is my grandmother, and she loves me so much, even if I marry into the Hou Mansion, I will come back to see my grandmother in person during the New Year's holidays. ”
After that, Gu Yutang left another sentence.
"If Mama is here tonight to test my grandmother's heart, wouldn't she have to go to such great lengths? Grandmother treats me well, and I won't get her in any trouble! ”
Seeing Gu Yutang's affectionate expression, Mama Liang knew that the third girl was from the heart, but fortunately, the old lady did not hurt the third girl in vain.
But today, she rejected the request of the little county lord Mu, didn't she cause trouble for the old lady?
What kind of status is the Mu Palace, and what kind of character is the little county lord Mu, who was rejected by the third girl this time, maybe what should he think about the Gu family?
If Lord Mu Xiaojun said a few words in front of his parents and brothers, then they would be finished taking care of their family.
Mama Liang showed a somewhat ugly look on her face, listening to the whirring wind outside, and finally said something.
"Girl, you also know what the status of the Mu Wangfu is, the little county lord Mu is the pearl of the Mu Wang couple in the palm of his hand, we can't afford to be guilty easily. Today, you rejected Lord Mu Xiaojun, maybe there is a reason, but what about the future?"
"In the coming day, the little county lord Mu is aggressive with his power, can the girl go back like this without scruples?"
"The Gu family standing behind the girl is the Gu family, and if something happens, the Gu family will pay for it, if something happens to the Gu family, who will pay for it?"
Mama Liang said that, and was surprised that she seemed to be talking a little heavier, but she saw that Gu Yutang's head had been lowered and she didn't raise her head again.
Ah Hua on the side looked at his girl's appearance and didn't know what to say.
She only felt that her girl was not at fault, and the words of the little county lord in the front hall were indeed aggressive. My own girls are all girls from big families, where can I be a maid who serves her?
However, Mu Xiaojun's Gu family can't afford to offend easily, and the girl really can't take advantage of her tongue like that, she is too impulsive.
Gu Yutang also knew what Mama Liang meant by her words, it was the Gu family standing behind her, if she annoyed the little county lord Mu, the Gu family would come forward to solve it. If the Gu family annoys King Mu's Mansion, who will come forward to solve it?
However, she Gu Yutang is not the kind of girl who allows others to bully her, and she doesn't make a noise, if the little county lord Mu forces her to do what she doesn't want to do, let alone a county lord, even a princess, she will also double her dedication!
If you try to live this life again, if you are calculated and bullied by others, it will be a great loss.
"Mama, Yutang knows that you are also thinking about our Gu family, and it was Yutang who was quick to speak and replied to the little county lord Mu. Yutang assured Mama that Yutang would definitely think about the future of our Gu family in the future, and would not vomit with the little county lord Mu again. ”
Gu Yutang said this, not to deal with that Mama Liang.
Mama Liang is the person who serves her grandmother, and what she said tonight is just what her grandmother hinted at her, through her mouth, and said to herself.
The first lady was for the sake of her grandmother and didn't make trouble for her grandmother, so she got a good marriage. If you don't think about your grandmother and her old man, and get into trouble for her everywhere, then the result will be obvious.
After Mama Liang left, Gu Yutang returned to the blue yarn cabinet in the Lin family's house to rest.
No matter how slight Gu Yutang's movements were, they still woke up the sleeping Lin family, who lifted the water gauze tent and saw Gu Yutang, tiptoeing towards the blue gauze cupboard, "Where did you go?" Why haven't you slept yet? ”
Gu Yutang couldn't go back to the Lin family directly, he was called out by Mama Liang to speak, and if he said this, it would affect Mama Liang.
After thinking about it for a while, he replied hesitantly.
"Grandmother, I'm afraid that I ate something unclean at night, so I had a lot of stomach trouble, and I have already run back and forth a few times. I thought my grandmother had rested, but I didn't think that my grandmother hadn't slept yet. ”
Lin looked at Gu Yutang and covered his stomach, and only then did he believe her words a little, "If it's not good, call Doctor Qin tomorrow and ask him to prescribe you a few pairs of medicine!" ”
After that, the maid who kept vigil in the house had woken up. folded the quilt for Lin, put down the gauze tent, lit the incense in the house, and rested on the soft bunk next to Lin's bed.
The Western pendulum clock in the blue gauze cabinet ticked for a long time, and Gu Yutang finally rested.
Most of the courtyards in the Gu Mansion have been turned off the lights, and only one courtyard is still brightly lit.
That is the place where Cai's mother-in-law arranged for Lord Mu Xiaojun, Qiuhe Courtyard.
Autumn Lotus Courtyard is in the north corner of Gufu Garden, the scenery is excellent, and you can take in the beautiful scenery of the entire Gufu, but it is a little off, but fortunately, it can still live in people.
Through the layers of bead curtains outside, and around a half-person-high marble screen painted with a hundred horses, I saw Mu Xiaojun Lord resting on the Luohan couch in the back room, and two maids wearing light blue armor endured a period of sleepiness, yawning and hammering Mu Xiaojun's legs.
