Chapter 8, Mrs. Gu

After confirming that Gu Liyi was not in danger, he only needed a few days of recuperation to recover, and An Li's heart finally let go. Dong Qing watched from the side, and when he saw this, he stepped forward to help Anli: "In that case, Madame will go to see the old lady first, right?" Wu Niang sent someone to look at it, and if she woke up, she would tell Mrs. immediately. ”

Although An Li was still worried about Gu Liyi, he also knew that he should go to meet the old lady, so he immediately nodded: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"Where's Madame? It was my negligence that made this child..."Dong Qing sighed, turned to put on a motherly face, and looked at Gu Mingxiu worriedly, "Siniang's body is not good, and she has never rested well this way, so she must have been worried about Wuniang, and her face was a little bad. It's better to rest first, and you won't be in a hurry to see the old lady. ”

When An Li heard this, he looked at Gu Mingxiu, held her hand worriedly, and said guiltily: "Xiu'er, is there anything uncomfortable?" I only cared about Yiyi, but I ignored you, I really deserved to fight. ”

"Mother, I'm fine." Gu Mingxiu raised his hand and covered the back of An Li's hand, revealing a well-behaved and gentle smile.

"Siniang, don't be reckless." Dong Qing said softly, with a faint reproach in his tone, as if he was helpless to show ignorance to the child he loved, "Your grandmother knows that you are weak, and she won't blame you if she doesn't see you today." ”

"You only went home today, there is still a lot of time, take your time, don't rush." Dong Qing looked at her gently.

Gu Mingxiu met her gaze. Obviously, her expression is always well-behaved and innocent, but there is a faint smile in her eyes, as if she has seen through what she is thinking, and it slowly falls on her face with a little bit of time.

She was sent to Chongming Temple to recuperate because she was not in good health, and Mrs. Gu only heard about her relationship with Shen Qingqing, and heard that she was in a lot better before she found someone to pick up their mother and daughter back. However, if you don't see it at this moment, if you don't know what Gu Changge and the others will say in front of the old lady.

Even the old lady herself would think that Gu Mingxiu's body was really bad, and she fainted the idea of supporting her.

But Gu Mingxiu didn't hate Old Madam Gu, and in this life, she was not strong enough to compete with her father, and she still needed the help of Old Madam Gu. The old lady was not very good to Gu Mingxiu in her last life. After An Li's death, she was taken to the old lady to take her, but because of her stubborn temperament, she was never as good as Gu Changge, who had a degree of advance and retreat, in the eyes of the old lady.

It is precisely because of Mrs. Gu's favor that Gu Changge can be praised as a pearl in the true sense of the palm in the Gu Mansion. However, in this life, she wants Gu Changge to lose Mrs. Gu's favor little by little, and use the "talent" and "etiquette" that she is proud of.

Dong Qing couldn't help but be stunned.

Gu Mingxiu had already smiled: "Aunt Qing doesn't have to worry, Siniang is fine." She blinked, looked at Gu Changge, who was holding Gu Xiaodie, and smiled slightly, "Second sister, can I pour a glass of water for Xiu'er?" ”

Gu Changge was slightly stunned, but he still smiled and nodded: "You can." Then he got up and walked to the side and poured Gu Mingxiu a glass of water.

After taking the warm water, Gu Mingxiu obediently said thank you, and then drank most of it in small sips. With a warm underwater belly, the little girl's originally snow-white face instantly improved a lot, and it was very cute to look at.

Putting down the cup, Gu Mingxiu stepped forward and tucked Gu Liyi's quilt, grabbed An Li's arm, and said with a smile: "Mother, let's go see grandmother, don't make grandmother wait too long." ”

"Okay." An Li touched his daughter's hair, and when he looked at Dong Qing, his smile faded, "I'm tired of leading the way." ”

"Madame comes with me." Dong Qing smiled slightly, and Fufu led the way.

Gu Changge rubbed Gu Xiaodie's head, and looked at Gu Liyi on the bed meaningfully: "The fifth sister may wake up after a while, and the mother and the fourth sister have been guarding, so they must be very worried." You are also frightened, so you will accompany your fifth sister here. ”

Gu Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, and then she instantly understood her sister's gentle eyes. She nodded and replied obediently: "Okay, Xiaodie knows, sister, you can rest assured that you can accompany the four sisters and them." ”

Gu Changge smiled with satisfaction, and then followed quickly.

Mu Lan was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw Gu Mingxiu's figure from a distance, she greeted her very happily. She stood behind Gu Mingxiu, looking well-behaved and harmless: "The old lady said it's okay, it doesn't matter if the fifth lady is fine, she will come over again." Miss, the old lady looks very charitable, not bad at all. Her last sentence was very quiet.

Gu Mingxiu felt funny, and only let out a faint "um".

Shuangxi, the eldest maid of Jingrong Courtyard, was already waiting at the door, and when she saw Gu Mingxiu and her party coming, she smiled and saluted respectfully: "The slave maid has seen Mrs. and the fourth lady." She pushed open the door and bent slightly to lead the way, "The old lady is waiting for you, please come with the slave." ”

Her gaze fell on Gu Mingxiu, slightly surprised, but she didn't say much on her face.

The people around the old lady have the same temperament as her, and their hearts turn a thousand times, but their faces are still peaceful.

Shuangxi opened the curtain and raised his voice slightly: "Old lady, Mrs. and Fourth Miss are here." ”

The silver-haired woman was closing her eyes, looking calm, not knowing what she was thinking. Hearing the voice, she slowly opened her eyes, and her gaze fell on the person who entered the door.

Dong Qing bowed and stepped aside in a witty manner, saying no more. Gu Changge blessed his body, showed a soft smile towards the old lady, and his posture was respectful: "Grandmother." ”

Old Madam Gu didn't speak, but her eyes still showed a little satisfaction. Even if she is a concubine, she still likes this well-behaved second lady who knows the number of etiquette, and her bearing around her body can indeed be compared to Miss Shangyan.

When Gu Changge stepped aside, An Li slowly stepped forward to salute, and when he looked up again, his eyes were a little red: "I've seen my mother." ”

"You've worked hard." Old Lady Gu looked at An Li's slightly haggard face, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart.

Mrs. Gu was originally a daughter of an official family, but she had to marry a scholar because of her family's downfall. Although she doesn't pick on weekdays, the lofty thoughts in her bones are still there. An Li is the daughter-in-law that Mrs. Gu had when she was not happy with her son, and she did not know the number of courtesies at that time, but because An Li's filial piety was the harmony between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Gu Qingyuan entered the official, and Mrs. Gu entered the high gate again, and the family thought in her bones was manifested again. Although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with An Li, he doesn't endure much harsh criticism. If there was anyone in the entire Gu Mansion who made An Li feel familiar, it would only be Old Madam Gu.

"Come here, let me see." An Li obediently stepped forward and sat beside the old lady, looking at An Li carefully, she couldn't help but smile slightly, "Over the years, I have suffered outside, and now that I am back, it can be regarded as a bittersweet end." ”

"Yes, Mother." An Li smiled softly.

Old Madam Gu slowly looked at the people below: "Are the four girls here?" ”

"Grandmother, Siniang is here."

The crisp voice was a little steady, and a person walked out slowly.

Old Madam Gu looked away and looked at the girl in front of her.

The cloak that Gu Mingxiu was wearing before had been taken off, revealing the snow-white long skirt inside, outlining her slender figure. The girl's long hair was scattered, and the black green silk reflected the skirt and was embroidered with a faint ink bamboo. She stepped forward slowly, her steps were very steady, the corners of her skirt fluttered lightly, and the bamboo shadow was mottled, which was rare and a little peaceful.

Gu Ming stepped forward, his hands folded on his abdomen, his posture was upright and natural. A pair of clear eyes were peaceful, with a faint smile, but they just fell on her and An Li's bodies, and they didn't give anyone more.

Old Madam Gu's gaze fell on Gu Mingxiu, with a slight scrutiny.

Gu Mingxiu looked directly at Old Madam Gu's gaze, neither humble nor arrogant.

She knew that Old Madam Gu was born in a high family and had been well taught. The grandmother in the palace was strict and indifferent, and that set of palace rules and etiquette also made her suffer. Although it has been abandoned for many years, it is difficult to regain the bearing of the year, but it can judge whether the bearing of others is good or not.

There are also nurturing grandmothers who are teaching Gu Changge, so they have the bearing of Gu Changge now, but if they really want to be measured by the people in the palace, Gu Changge's movements are still too stiff and tender, and they can't be well mastered. However, Gu Mingxiu walked away now, and he won several layers of Gu Changge in terms of bearing.

Gu Changge just felt that Gu Mingxiu's posture was good, but he hadn't clearly recognized his shortcomings, and he couldn't feel anything. However, Dong Qing glanced at Gu Mingxiu in surprise, and his fingers subconsciously tightened.

Gu Changge's posture and bearing were completely similar to those of the nobles in the palace, and he invited a first-class grandmother in the palace. Now in the entire Yangzhou, there is no one who can compare to Gu Changge. But Gu Mingxiu is in an ancient temple, and he has never been in contact with any nobles in the palace, but where did he learn this noble spirit?

She didn't know that clothing movements could be imitated, but Shen Yun was not something that could be imitated. Gu Changge is still learning, but Gu Mingxiu has been washed for ten years, and the palace rules and etiquette have been deeply rooted in her bones. Whether it is now or in the future, she is still the arrogant Queen Gu in her heart, and many people can't match her in her previous life, not to mention the current Gu Changge?

Shuangxi stood aside, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. Earlier, she felt that the fourth lady was not at all the same as when she left, although she was young at that time, she was sick when she looked at it, which made people feel unenergetic. But the current Fourth Miss is completely different from the past, and she is not panicked or timid in the face of Old Madam Gu.

There was a smile on his face with a bit of innocence, just the right amount of money without looking ignorant. Gu Ming embroidered Yingying saluted, and her hair slipped down her shoulders: "Grandmother, Siniang is back." ”

Old Madam Gu paused and leaned back slightly. Seeing this, Dong Qing hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the tea, and Mrs. Gu's eyes did not fall on her, but she just took the tea and took a sip, and said lightly: "You are not in good health, come and sit next to me." ”

"Yes." Gu Mingxiu lowered her eyes and replied obediently, she stepped forward slowly, and sat down beside Old Madam Gu as she said.
