Chapter 34: Transformation
"I heard from the fourth brother and sister a few days ago that Xiaoying and Gu Lichi had a conflict, and Gu Lichi actually wanted to marry a woman from the land of fireworks and come back to be a concubine, how could this be done? Gu Jiahao said that he is also one of the wealthy businessmen in Yunnan, and he doesn't even have any rules and regulations to do things?" The woman known as Ah Cai was Yang Zhen's wife, who was born in the Ruan family's house in Zhuangyuan Lane.
"I've also been worried about this matter for a long time, Xiao Ying is such a good woman, Gu Lichi's wife actually lost her, even if she took a concubine, she even wanted to divorce her, when no one in our Yang family stood up for Xiao Ying?" Yang Zhen said very angrily, and suddenly slammed a punch on the high table next to him, knocking a hole in the high table, and breaking a big hole in his hand.
"Look at you, what can you do? Bleed. Ruan Shi said, took out gauze and gold sore medicine from the drawer on the high table skillfully, sprinkled the gold sore medicine on Yang Zhen's bleeding scar, and then used gauze to help him wrap it tightly, and when he tied the last knot, Ruan Shi didn't pay attention for a while, and Yang Zhen screamed twice in pain.
"Ah Cai, the marriage between Xiaoying and Gu Lichi was also arranged by me at the beginning, and my mother blamed me for saying that Gu Lichi's house was so good, but I didn't expect to have a trouble with Xiaoying today. The bell must be tied to the bell, I'm afraid only I have a way to help Xiaoying. Yang Zhen looked at Ruan, who was also over forty years old in front of him, and muttered.
Ruan's younger than her is almost ten years old, but they grew up together, the two have gone from a young couple to middle age, and now Yang Zhen's health is not as good as before, and the affairs of the health office are also getting more and more day by day, Ruan's often run around for Yang Zhen's body, looking for medical advice.
"It's not easy for me to help you recuperate, I have to help you look at it, guarding against arrogance and rashness is the key to your complete recovery, I will accompany you down, and I will also give Xiaoying ideas." Ruan Shi said, took out an ink-colored cloak from the large box behind him, draped it on Yang Zhen's shoulder, and helped him tie the knot.
……
The next day, Gu Yutang woke up and found that Jiang Zhiming had been sleeping next to her and had been with her all night. Seeing that Jiang Zhiming was still asleep, Gu Yutang didn't make any big moves, still sitting on the couch, looking at Jiang Zhiming's sleeping appearance.
Jiang Zhiming's bamboo-like figure shrunk into a small ball, his brows were tightly locked, and fine sweat was also covered his entire forehead, obviously dreaming of something unpleasant.
Gu Yutang sighed for Jiang Zhiming in his heart, his brows were locked like this in a dream, it seems that Jiang Zhiming's dream is not very auspicious.
At this time, in order not to wake up Jiang Zhiming, who was still asleep, Gu Yutang gently opened the door, and then went to the ear room next to the West Chamber.
Ah Hua didn't sleep with Gu Yutang in the second half of the night, she was simmering Gu Yutang's medicine in the ear room next to the West Chamber, Gu Yutang opened the door, and saw that Ah Hua had already gotten up, and was taking care of his makeup in front of the bronze mirror at the moment.
Ah Hua saw Gu Yutang walk in from the bronze mirror, hurriedly stood up, and said to her: "The girl is not good to rest in her room, why do you want to come over here to see Ah Hua?"
Gu Yutang had a headache, and there was still a young man with a jade face sleeping in his room, so how could she rest well, the snoring was higher than a while, and it was Jiang Zhiming's snoring that woke Gu Yutang up.
"The son of the Jiang family hasn't woken up yet, I'm afraid of disturbing him, so I'll come over to talk to you." When Gu Yutang spoke, Ah Hua had already moved an embroidered stool over and waited for Gu Yutang to sit down.
Here, the Lin family also stayed awake all night in the back room, she was thinking about Gu Lichi and Yang's problems all night, and I heard that the Chen family in the outer room already had Gu Lichi's child, and it was a boy.
Gu Lichi didn't take a concubine, and there was only one brother in the big long house, but Brother Li was a fool, how would he inherit the big long house in the future? How to inherit the position of the head of the Gu family?
If Brother Li is not a stupid child and is a normal person, even if he does not have outstanding knowledge and talent, he can inherit the head of the Gu family by virtue of his identity as the son of the eldest family. But now that Gu Lichi and the Chen family have children, although the children born by the Chen family are concubines, they are not as good as the elder brothers, but as long as they are cultivated well, they will not be much worse than the elder brothers who will go out in the future.
Moreover, the person who inherited the head of the Gu family could never be a stupid child, he must be a normal person.
The Lin family intends to let the Chen family enter the mansion, whether the Yang family agrees or not, she wants to let the Chen family and her children enter the mansion, the pulse of the big long house can not be converted into the hands of the Yang family, she has to consider the future of the entire long house and the entire Gu family.
The Lin family summoned Mama Liang outside the house, and asked people to stay outside the house, and the idlers could not approach.
"Chunming, what did the eldest lady in the house say? Did you say that you wouldn't let that outer chamber into the house?" Lin sat cross-legged on the kang, and Mama Liang stood aside.
"The old lady is not unaware of the eldest lady's temperament, no matter what the eldest lady said these days, the eldest lady did not listen to half of the sentence, and wrote back to Lu Liangyang's house, I heard that in a few days, the eldest lady's brother and sister-in-law will come down together to make decisions for the eldest lady." Mama Liang didn't dare to deceive the Lin family, so she could only pour beans into a bamboo tube and tell the Lin family everything she knew.
"I've figured out one thing in the past few days, after all, the Chen family already has a child of my Gu family, and I have been letting the child wander outside, and I can't come back to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. I want the Chen family to enter the mansion and be a concubine who serves the eldest lord and the eldest wife. ”
Lin told Mama Liang all his thoughts, hoping that she could help her come up with ideas.
Let the eldest lord welcome the Chen family into the mansion, isn't this the meaning of the eldest lord? Although she is a concubine, but getting along day and night, the Chen family will inevitably want to be the wife of the head of the family?
And this time, the eldest lady and the eldest lady are in a quarrel, and the eldest lady categorically will not let the Chen family enter the mansion, and the old lady will touch the eldest lady's brow this time.
The old lady is doing it against the eldest lady for the first time, what is going on?
"Old lady, I'm afraid that I have to get the consent of the eldest lady to let the Chen family enter the house, you don't care about the family for many years, and Mrs. Liang in Chengyuan doesn't care much about these trivial matters. In the past few years, the heads of the two gardens of the Gu Mansion have been in the hands of the eldest wife, and the servants of the two gardens are all listening to the deployment of the eldest wife, but I am afraid that this matter is a little difficult to do! Mama Liang didn't look up at Chen, and lowered her head.
If there was no Yang nod and agreed, even if Gu Lichi insisted on welcoming the Chen family into the mansion, it would be unjustifiable, and he would be talked about when he went out. And the Gu family is still a famous family in Chengjiang, once such a thing is rumored, I am afraid that the Gu family will become the laughing stock of everyone in the entire Chengjiang and even the entire Yunnan.
The reason why Gu Lichi is still standing still is waiting for Yang's answer.
The Yang family is not like the kind of person who is willing to share his husband with others, let alone the Yang family, even Mrs. Lin herself is unwilling. When the old lady was still alive, her mother-in-law wanted to stuff people into her yard, but she pushed her and got her away, and the old lady was the only woman in her life.
