Chapter 5: The Past

After dinner, Gu Nianjiao was lying on the soft floor reading a book. Qingyang held a post in his hand, standing outside but not knowing whether to go in or not.

When Zhu Lu walked into the house, he saw her like this, raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

When Qingyang saw her coming, he seemed to be relieved, and hurriedly stuffed the post in his hand to Zhu Lu.

Zhu Lu took it and looked at it, it was written that Lu Qingyao of the Lu family handed it to Gu Nianjiao of the Gu family, and after reading it, he immediately frowned, holding this post like a hot potato.

Gu Nianjiao has no friends in Hangzhou City, only Lu Shen has a relationship with her.

There is no other reason, just because what Gu Nianjiao did was not what a normal girl should do, many ladies did not allow the juniors in the family to make friends with Gu Nianjiao.

This Lu Qingyao is one of the two major families in Hangzhou, the daughter of the Lu family, who is highly favored and a well-known talented woman in Hangzhou.

The character is quite arrogant, and the talent is very outstanding, at least on the surface.

Only the people of the Gu family know that this Lu Qingyao seems to be arrogant, but in fact, she is not used to Gu Nianjiao, and she loves to make Gu Nianjiao ugly in public.

In the past, when Gu Nianjiao was young, she didn't understand this. Invited by Lu Qingyao, he went to the appointment.

In front of everyone, he was sneeringly insulted by a businesswoman.

At that time, no one stood up to speak for her, everyone was watching her lively, and Gu Nianjiao was extremely aggrieved at that time, and tears fell straight down.

Later, Gu Nianjiao stopped playing with those ladies.

The year before last, Gu Nianjiao was invited by Yu Huaiyi, the second daughter of the Yu family, to go to the appointment again.

Because of Yu Huaiyi's temperament, humility and courtesy, Gu Nianjiao believed her.

Later, at the banquet, Gu Nianjiao was abused by Lu Qingyao in person, and no one helped her as last time.

She couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed Lu Qingyao's hair, slapped her more than a dozen times, and Lu Qingyao's face couldn't be seen in the end.

Gu Nianjiao's reputation is getting worse and worse, and everyone in Hangzhou knows about it.

The follow-up to this matter was that the Lu family came to crusade, and asked the Gu family to give an explanation, and Gu Min, who understood the whole process, drove everyone out with a broom.

Zhu Lu shook his head, this Hangzhou city is difficult to stay.

Take the post in hand, give it or not, don't give it or not, it's a dilemma.

At this time, Gu Nianjiao opened the curtain and walked out, and saw Zhu Lu holding the post in a daze.

Seeing the words on it clearly, Gu Nianjiao's eyes darkened, and she reached out and took the post.

Zhu Lu was startled, seeing that she opened the post and read the content calmly, and threw the post back into her arms as if nothing had happened.

Walking to the window to tidy up his flowers and plants, Zhu Lu and Qingyang looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Reply, just say it will come." The girl's words came suddenly, Zhu Lu was stunned, and replied, "Yes, miss." ”

Gu Nianjiao looked at the moon flowers in front of her, but her thoughts were already far away.

Lu Qingyao invited her to go to Tinghuanlou for a banquet at four o'clock tomorrow, this banquet was presided over by her, and all the young ladies in Hangzhou City were summoned to drink tea and chant poems, enjoy flowers and visit the lake in this Tinghuanlou together.

Gu Nianjiao sneered in her heart, most of this banquet was not good.

But it doesn't matter, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. See who will have the last laugh.

Late at night, Gu Nianjiao was sitting by the window and practicing calligraphy, and her back was straight and straight.

Bai Zang stood behind her, looking at the back of the girl practicing calligraphy and shook his head.

This Hangzhou City, talent is the first, she only recognizes her own miss, and Lu Qingyao and Huaiyi, who are not as good as a finger of her own miss.

It's not that Bai Zang is boasting, this Gu Nianjiao has read countless books since she was a child.

The gentleman invited by Gu Min was a little more casual with Gu Nianjiao, and she could draw inferences.

It was really surprising, and later the husband felt that he couldn't teach her anything, so he asked Gu Min to resign and return to his hometown in Youzhou.

Unexpectedly, it was rumored that Gu Nianjiao was a straw bag who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and she was angry that she would teach and live first.

This rumor made Gu Min so angry that he yelled to beat people.

was stopped by Gu Nianjiao, so the name of this straw bag hung on Gu Nianjiao's head, and it couldn't be taken off.

Seeing that the time had passed, Bai Zang said crisply: "Miss, the night is late, if it gets colder and colder today, it is better to go to bed early." ”

At this time, it is already the end of winter, the deep winter.

Gu Nianjiao finished writing the last word, put the pen on the inkstone, picked up the rice paper and looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

Putting the rice paper down on the table, he said to Bai Zang: "Put this away." ”

Bai Zang responded, and cleverly stepped forward to put away the four treasures of the study and the words written.

Gu Nianjiao stood up, stretched her waist, and walked to the side of the bed.

After lying down, Bai Zang covered the edge of the quilt firmly, and then put down the curtains on both sides.

Blowing out the candles, only a little dim light seeped in the outside, Bai Zang walked lightly to the outside, also blew out the candles outside, and lay down.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Nianjiao was having dinner when she saw Bai Zang and Qingyang talking quietly and walked in.

"What are you talking about? Let's hear it. After swallowing a mouthful of dumplings, the girl's eyelids did not lift.

The two glanced at each other, and Qingyang spoke: "I heard that the one in the White Egret Courtyard.... Sick. ”

Gu Nianjiao was stunned, Gu Nianshu? In my mind, there was a scene of the fat dumpling pulling his sleeve, and with a bang, there was no more follow-up.

Just after breakfast, Gu Nianjiao was about to prune and prune the flowers and plants, and Discord walked in with her mouth pursed.

It's rare to see her like this, Gu Nianjiao raised her eyebrows, and joked with a smile: "What's wrong with Discord today?" Bitter face. ”

Discord raised his eyes to look at her, "Miss, the little boy is sick." ”

The smile on Gu Nianjiao's face faded, "I know." ”

"Mrs. Jiang's maidservant is at the gate of the courtyard, asking to see her."

"Nope." The girl put down the scissors and turned around to walk towards the back room.

"Miss, the little boy is very sick." Discord continues to persuade.

Gu Nianjiao turned around and looked at Discord, "So what?" ”

Discord lowered his eyes: "Maybe something's going on." ”

Gu Nianjiao sneered: "I'm not a doctor." He tilted his head and looked at Discord with a smile: "It seems that I am your master." There was no smile in his eyes.

Discord bent his legs and knelt on the ground: "The slave knows, but the slave doesn't want the young lady to regret it in the future, after this incident, the slave and the maid are punished by the young lady." ”

Gu Nianjiao lowered her head and looked at her for a moment, "Bring it in." ”

Hearing her say this, Discord quickly stood up, turned around and ran out, Gu Nianjiao looked at her back with an inexplicable expression.

Discord quickly brought someone in, and as soon as the person saw Gu Nianjiao, he cried and knelt down: "Please, Miss, go see the little son." ”

"What's your name? What is it? Gu Nianjiao looked at her and asked.

The maid cried and spoke: "The slave maid is the big maid next to the lady, and her name is Ruoqiu. ”

"What's wrong with Gu Nianshu?" Gu Nianjiao continued to ask.

"The little boy was infected with a cold, and the doctor prescribed medicine and boiled it for the little boy to drink, but the little boy didn't drink the medicine and insisted on seeing the eldest lady." Ruoqiu knelt on the ground and slowly explained the matter.

Gu Nianjiao frowned, secretly scolded Gu Nianshu for being unconscious, but there was no show on her face, and she said lightly: "Get up and lead the way." ”

When Ruoqiu heard this, she burst into tears, stood up and turned around and walked out of the house, Gu Nianjiao followed behind her, glanced at Discord, and Discord also walked out with her.
