Chapter 3, the concubine of the Gu family

"I want to know who she is."

It wasn't until the eaves of that corner were covered by the woods that he could no longer see clearly, that Shen Qingqing lowered the curtain. She touched her fingertips and ordered, "If you find it, you will hand over the post and invite her to come to your house as a guest." ”

The maid hesitated slightly: "Miss... It sounded like the girl lived in Chongming Temple. ”

Shen Qingqing thought about the bamboo shadow that Gu Mingxiu said, if he didn't go there often, how could he figure out such an exquisite chess game.

She nodded, "Perhaps, it doesn't matter." If she really lives in Chongming Temple, then it is good to invite her to stay in the house for a few days. ”

The maid hurriedly shook her head: "No, miss, I... I heard before that Miss Yan of the Gu family has been living in Chongming Temple to cultivate because of her weak body, maybe that girl just now... Maybe it's Miss Gu's family. ”

"Miss Gu Jiayan..."Shen Qingqing lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "It seems to be calling Gu Mingxiu?" The name is also very well-behaved, it turns out to be such a wonderful person. ”

"Miss..."The maid couldn't cry or laugh, she reminded, "You just accused her sister of that young lady, if it is really Miss Gufu, then you will be married." ”

Shen Qingqing snorted lightly, not caring at all: "She and Gu Changge are not all the way, she is her, Gu Changge is Gu Changge." Besides, Gu Changge was already disgusting. ”

Hearing this, the maid was a little anxious, and when she opened her mouth to say something, she heard Shen Qingqing smile lightly: "It turns out that Gu Changge has such an interesting sister..."She blinked her eyes, meaningful, "Gu Fu has never said that there is this young lady, do you think it is interesting?" ”

How can other people's dirty things be judged. In front of her, it was the master, but she dared to say that the maid didn't dare.

Shen Qingqing smiled: "Go and inquire clearly, whether that girl is Miss Gu Mingxiu." ”

Fingertips gently stroked the pattern on the sleeve, Shen Qingqing smiled a little mockingly: "I think Gu Changge shouldn't know that he has such a brilliant sister......

Her tone gradually retracted, with something indescribable.

The winter snow melts, and there is a sign of warming.

Gu Mansion has rarely been quiet these days, and there is less sound of fighting in the backyard.

"Sister, what do you think of my writing?"

Putting down the pen, the girl in the yellow jacket turned her head and called the person reading in front of the window, smiling like a flower. She had a round face, stood up and smiled, revealing two little tiger teeth, and looked very innocent and cute: "Okay?" ”

"Let me see."

The girl embroidering under the window raised her head and stood up with a smile. She wore a pale pink blouse, her long skirt fluttered softly as she walked, and the embroidered flowers at the end of the skirt couldn't help but bloom.

The girl walked to the table and carefully studied the calligraphy on the table. Her eyebrows and eyes are elegant, and her red lips are gently curled. The gestures are full of delicate and dignified, which makes people feel cared for.

This is Gu Changge, the fifth lady of the Gu Mansion.

"My sister's calligraphy has improved a bit." She exclaimed, her voice gentle, "Father will definitely like it when he sees it, and grandmother will definitely like it." ”

"My sister thinks it's good, then my father must feel good too~ Who makes my father love my sister the most." Gu Xiaodie held Gu Changge's arm and said softly.

Hearing this, Gu Changge couldn't help but reach out and gently tap her forehead, and chuckled: "You little girl, it's all nonsense." Whenever my father looks for something good, he always asks you to pick it first, where does it hurt me the most, huh? ”

"Good sister~"

Dong Qing was collecting these words in her ears when she pushed the door in, she looked at the intimate behavior of the two sisters, her face was full of love, but her tone was reproachful: "I can't forget to coax you every time, and I dare to talk nonsense behind my back." Who doesn't know that your father was just as good to each of you. ”

"That's what my aunt said." Gu Changge nodded with a smile.

"There are no outsiders here, why can't you call mother?" Gu Xiaodie pursed her red lips, jumped up and grabbed Dong Qing's arm, and said coquettishly, "Mother~ We're just talking about playing." ”

"Just fooling around, when will you be as sensible as your sister?" Dong Qing glanced at her, but he gently hugged her little daughter and gently stroked her hair.

Gu Changge smiled: "It's okay, my sister is still young, in a few years... That's it. She paused slightly, a little meaningful, "When the time comes, the mother will be the mother." ”

Dong Qing laughed, changed the topic and asked, "The old lady's birthday will start in a while, how is the birthday gift prepared by your sisters?" ”

"Mother, look at me!" Without waiting for Gu Changge to answer first, Gu Xiaodie stood up suddenly, ran to the table with a smile and carefully held the rice paper, and said coquettishly like a treasure, "Mother~"

After looking at it carefully, Dong Qing smiled and nodded: "Yes, it has improved a lot, and your father will definitely be happy." ”

"I'm afraid that my father will be happy when he sees his sister." Gu Xiaodie covered her lips and chuckled, looked at Gu Changge and said, "My sister wants to embroider a birthday character for my grandmother." ”

"It's just an embroidered picture of 100 longevity, I hope my grandmother won't dislike it." Gu Changge pursed his lips, a little embarrassed.

"My sister is really humble." Gu Xiaodie stuck out her tongue at her, her expression was quite simple, "Among the young ladies of the family, how many people can compare to my sister's embroidery?" It will take a long time to embroider the picture, and my grandmother will definitely be happy with this intention alone, and she will definitely dislike my birthday gift at that time. ”

In the end, he looked a little angry, his pink lips pursed, and he said aggrievedly: "In order to compensate me, can my sister embroider a handkerchief for Xiaodie~"

Pursing his lips and chuckling, Gu Changge said softly: "My sister wants it, how dare my sister disobey?" ”

"You girl." Dong Qing nodded Gu Xiaodie's forehead, and then turned his head to look at Gu Changge, "What Xiaodie said is that you are still young, and the old lady is very happy if you have a mind alone." ”

And what Gu Xiaodie said is also that among the young ladies of the Yangzhou family, although Gu Changge's embroidery skills are not at the top, they are also very rare.

"Besides, who in the family can compare to my sister." Gu Xiaodie said playfully.

Dong Qing's eyes were slightly dark, and he smiled slightly: "Do you know what your fifth sister sent?" ”

"I asked the fifth sister to write the word longevity with me." Gu Xiaodie tilted her head and said, her tone was a little more sarcastic, "Fifth sister hasn't been out for a few days, she should be practicing calligraphy." ”

"The fifth sister also has a heart." Gu Changge glanced at Gu Xiaodie soothingly.

Gu Xiaodie nodded, and returned to an innocent tone: "Hmm! My fifth sister is just like me, and my grandmother will be happy. ”

She held Dong Qing's arm and snuggled up to her, looking at her well-behaved and cute, endearing. Dong Qing looked at Gu Changge sitting upright again, beautiful and soft, with a gentle and obedient posture, and couldn't help but feel more and more happy in his heart.

She looked at Gu Changge with satisfaction.

"Auntie."

The big girl Luoyue called softly from outside, and only pushed the door in when she heard Dong Qing speak. She stood a few steps away and saluted a few people, Dong Qing asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

β€œβ€¦ I just heard that the old lady sent someone to Chongming Temple to ask Mrs. and the fourth lady to return home. ”

As soon as the words came out, I saw that the faces of the three people on the other side changed at the same time. Gu Changge pursed his lips and was silent, his face was slightly gloomy, Dong Qing's face was pale, and Gu Xiaodie jumped up and exclaimed.

"What?!"

"Go find the old lady." Dong Qing immediately made a decision and walked beside him. Gu Xiaodie wanted to follow, she scolded in a low voice, "Don't go over to make trouble!" ”

After Dong Qing left, Gu Changge frowned: "... Why do you suddenly have to bring people back? ”

"Gu Mingxiu hasn't turned fourteen yet, can't he come back before he is fourteen? I should have known that she was a lone starβ€”"

"Sister!"

Gu Xiaodie was scolded by Dong Qing like this for the first time, and couldn't help but be angry at Gu Mingxiu. She heard Gu Changge speak, and the anger in her heart became bigger and bigger, and she cursed viciously.

He was only halfway through his words before he was suddenly stopped by Gu Changge.

"Don't talk nonsense, the fourth sister lives outside because she is not in good health, and the feng shui of the Gu Mansion is not conducive to the fourth sister, where is there any heavenly evil lone star?" Seeing Gu Xiaodie come back to her senses, she slowed down her tone and gently comforted.

"It's justβ€”" she frowned, a little strange, "how could you suddenly be in such a hurry to pick someone up?" ”

Gu Changge's personal maid Mingzhu came in with Luoyue and stood quietly aside. Seeing that both of them had calmed down at this moment, she stepped forward and whispered.

"A few days ago, Miss Shen handed over a post, but Miss Shen didn't go to the banquet because she wanted to prepare a birthday gift. On that day, the news of Miss Gu Jiayan's superb chess skills and extraordinary talent spread in the circle of noble girls. ”

Miss Gu Jiayan, of course, will not refer to Gu Changge.

"Who is talking nonsense!" Gu Xiaodie slapped the table and glared at her.

Mingzhu bowed her head: "The slave doesn't dare to lie." The old lady also heard the news, so she sent someone to fetch Mrs. and Miss Fourth. ”

"Gu Mingxiu was raised in that temple, where did she invite any gentleman to teach her to play chess? Who is this rumor! Gu Xiaodie said hatefully, "What Miss Yan!" Bah! ”

"Who said that?" Gu Changge ignored his sister and just asked Mingzhu.

Mingzhu said: "I heard that it is... Miss Shen of the Governor's house. ”

"Shen Qingqing?!" Gu Changge shouted loudly, and the whole person couldn't help but freeze.

"That high-minded Shen Qingqing? How could she have something to do with Gu Mingxiu? Hearing this, Gu Xiaodie, who had just a resentful face, couldn't help but look at Mingzhu with wide eyes.

Mingzhu thought about it for a while, and said what she had heard: "Miss Shen met Miss Fourth in Chongming Temple some time ago, and after playing with Miss Four, she was willing to bow down. Today she handed over the post, saying that Miss Ruosi had returned to her home, and she hoped to invite her to a gathering. The post was delivered directly to the old lady. ”

"How is that possible... It's actually Shen Qingqing..."Gu Changge muttered, the hand on his knee couldn't help but wrap tightly, a little hatred appeared in his eyes, and the gentle and virtuous aura immediately dissipated.

If it was what others said, Gu Changge might still be able to wonder if it was Gu Mingxiu's mother and daughter who made the scheme. However, it was Shen Qingqing who spoke for Gu Mingxiu, the Shen Qingqing who couldn't even befriend her.

Gu Changge also tried to make friends with Shen Qingqing at first, and also had a game with her. Shen Qingqing didn't eat hard and soft, she didn't say anything if she won, and she was extremely unforgiving.

Shen Qingqing like this... But he is good friends with Gu Mingxiu?!

Gu Changge's face sank, and he gritted his teeth: "Gu Mingxiu!" ”
