Chapter 39: Punishment

As soon as the two of them walked to the gate of An Li's courtyard, they saw An Li accompanied by a maid and was about to go out. When he met the two of them, An Li's expression was also a little surprised, and he said with a smile: "But it's the first time I've seen the two of you come together, I'm going to see your four sisters, go with me to have a look." ”

Glancing at Gu Jing, Gu Liyi stepped forward and grabbed An Li's hand and said: "It's really a coincidence that you came early, if you come later, I'm afraid that you will miss it with your mother." ”

"Mother." Gu Jing saluted and bowed slightly, "I came from the fourth sister with the fifth sister, and the fourth sister drank the medicine and was a little sleepy, so we came over first." ”

"Yes, Sister Xiu estimates that she will sleep for a while, and my mother can't see her in the past now, why don't we talk with my mother for a while, and then go over together?" Gu Liyi smiled and opened the curtain and accompanied An Li into the house, rubbed for a while, and said tentatively, "Mother, shall we go and ask for a peace charm for Sister Xiu?" ”

An Li was slightly stunned when she heard this, she once thought that the relationship between Gu Liyi and Gu Mingxiu was not so good, but at this moment, hearing Gu Liyi say this, she felt a little comforted in her heart.

"Okay, then in a few days, my mother will accompany you." Ann Departed.

Gu Liyi paused and shook his head: "Mother, now that Sister Xiu is sick and can't go out, I'm very worried." Why don't we go to Baiyuan Temple in the afternoon? Baiyuan Temple is not far from here. She saw that An Limian hesitated, and said, "Sister embroidery was recuperating in the Buddhist temple before, isn't it quite effective, maybe Sister embroidery is really related to Buddhism, she is always sick when she comes back, let's go and ask for it, maybe Sister Embroidery will be fine." ”

She is still young, and she still speaks with a somewhat childish voice, and she looks very serious.

An Li couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and after thinking about it, what Gu Liyi said was indeed good, so he nodded: "It's okay." ”

Seeing An Li's agreement, Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned his head and looked at Gu Jing with a smile: "Little brother, you also go with us, there is great strength in numbers." Without waiting for Gu Jing to hesitate, she finished blocking his words with a smile, "Are you unwilling to pray for Sister Xiu or do you not want to stay with me and my mother longer?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Li looked at Gu Jing with a little panicked and helpless on his face, and just smiled.

An Li patted her arm and said angrily, "Don't bully Ah Jing," she turned her head to look at Gu Jing gently, and said, "It's okay for you to do anything, why don't you go out for a walk with us." ”

It's still some time before he returns to the academy, and there's nothing he needs to do on the academy side. Gu Jing's gaze swept over An Li's gentle face, and saw Gu Li Yiyang behind her making a threatening gesture with her hand, paused, and a little smile appeared on her immature face: "Okay, I'll accompany my mother and fifth sister together." ”

An Li smiled, and then instructed the maid to prepare. Gu Liyi said a few words, and also took Ling Qiao back to the courtyard to make some preparations, and when he passed by Mingxin Pavilion, he hesitated a little, and did not go in at all.

Gu Xiaodie walked out from the side, saw Gu Liyi standing at the door, and stepped forward to greet with a smile: "Fifth sister, why don't you go in and see the fourth sister?" ”

"My mother said that I would pray for the fourth sister in the afternoon." Gu Liyi shook his head and looked inside, with a little worry in his expression.

A few hints of surprise flashed in her eyes, Gu Xiaodie blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "If you pray for blessings, it is more effective to stay in the temple for one night, and it is more effective to offer peace charms in front of the Buddha, why don't the fifth sisters accompany their mother to spend the night in the temple tonight." ”

A few traces of worry crossed his heart, and Gu Liyi's face was not revealed: "If this is the case, I will beg my mother, and I will not come back tonight." ”

Gu Xiaodie smiled, with innocence in her eyes.

Gu Mingxiu slept until dusk.

When Mo Zhu came in to light the lamp, she had already sat up, holding her forehead silently, and her face was a little pale. Agarwood came in with a plate and helped Mozhu light up all the lights in the room.

Brushing away his sideburns at will, Gu Mingxiu looked up at the wooden window that was propped up by Mozhu, and his voice was a little weak: "It's been this hour?" ”

"Yes." Mo Zhu put a few cushions behind her, and said softly, "The matter has been done, Madam and the fifth young lady and the seventh young master went to Baiyuan Temple in the afternoon, and they haven't come back yet, and the next person will come back to report that they will not come back tonight." She picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Gu Mingxiu's forehead, and asked softly, "Girl, you haven't eaten for a day, do you want to eat something?" ”

Gu Mingxiu shook his head: "Agarwood." ”

Agarwood, who was standing on the side, responded and replied steadily: "There is no movement over there in the Qing Courtyard, and the second lady stays in Zhilan Courtyard all day." After the master returned home, the sixth lady went to find the master, and the two went to the Qing Courtyard together, and they were both in Zhilan Courtyard at the moment, and it seemed that they were planning to do something to the girl. ”

Gu Mingxiu sneered: "Gu Qingyuan must have heard those rumors outside, so he was naturally furious. She lifted the quilt, looked at the courtyard that was gradually shrouded in darkness, and said quietly, "Give me makeup." ”

Mo Zhu wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he just sighed lightly: "Yes, girl." ”

Picking up the millet porridge on the table on the table, Agarwood quietly held it in front of Gu Mingxiu, and said softly: "Girl, eat some, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have the strength to deal with it for a while, and this night will still be long." ”

glanced at the agarwood thoughtfully, the other party's eyebrows and eyes were calm, and there was no trace of abnormality. Gu Mingxiu looked at her for a moment and smiled slightly: "Okay." Zhilanyuan is only afraid that it is very angry, and there is no appetite for dinner, so let's not starve ourselves. ”

Agarwood nodded and brought the porridge to Gu Mingxiu.

As she said, there is no moment of peace in Zhilan Courtyard at this moment.

Reaching out and smashing the bottle of red plum on the table to the ground, Gu Qingyuan's eyebrows were heavy, and his tone was full of impatience: "If you knew earlier, let her stay in the temple, and don't look back at the house in this life!" It's really a broom star, it's a shame for the house! He glanced at the red plum on the ground with disgust, "In the future, the fourth lady's things should not be placed in Changge's room, and they will be unlucky for no reason." ”

Originally, the red plum sent by Gu Mingxiu had already been smashed by Gu Changge in anger, and the red plum at this moment was found by Mingzhu and placed in full place, which was slightly different from the previous one, but Gu Qingyuan naturally couldn't see these things.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaodie stepped forward and patted Gu Qingyuan's back, and said in an innocent tone: "Daddy, don't be angry, you will scare Xiaodie." My aunt said that she was angry and hurt her body, and if you hurt your body, the second sister will blame herself in her heart. ”

Gu Qingyuan really looked at Gu Changge.

The delicate girl sat quietly on the stool, her eyes slightly reddened, but there was an extremely soothing smile on her lips. Seeing Gu Qingyuan looking over, she hurriedly smiled and said softly: "Daddy, don't be angry, in fact, these things are a misunderstanding, the fourth sister is ......"

"Second sister, you have to help the fourth sister speak, but you also have to see whether the fourth sister understands it or not." Gu Xiaodie pursed her mouth, she turned her head to look at Gu Qingyuan, "Originally, when I was in the Wenhui, the second sister had been defending the fourth sister, and the fourth sister didn't appreciate it at all, and she also made the second sister sad. ”

Gu Qingyuan's expression was slightly gloomy, and he looked at Dong Qing: "Why don't you tell me these things?" ”

Dong Qing lowered his eyes and said softly: "Mrs. is the mother of a family, so naturally Mrs. is in charge of everything." Mrs. Left and Right didn't mention it, that's Changge's mistake, so why bother you with this. ”

Her appearance made Gu Qingyuan's anger drop a little, but she felt a little more self-blame and pity: "I thought An Li was an indisputable character, and he would definitely not let you be wronged." Now look at it, you and Changge are too kind-hearted, and you let them bully like that! ”

Gu Changge shook his head and excused Gu Mingxiu: "Fourth sister, after all, she has been estranged from us for many years....It is also appropriate to have a grudge in my heart, as the eldest sister, I should be enlightened." ”

She made a gesture, and Gu Qingyuan's expression became more and more angry.

It's just one day, and Yangzhou is full of rumors about the Gu Mansion. is talking about his good daughter Gu Mingxiu, not only saying that she made a private agreement with someone in the temple for life, but also took that person into Gu's mansion and had a grand private meeting; also said that Gu Mingxiu was talented and talented, but it suppressed Gu Changge, and Gu Changge was jealous and framed Gu Mingxiu for cheating.

Both of these rumors made him very angry.

Gu Changge is the pearl of his palm, he has been smart and exquisite since he was a child, how could he do such a stupid thing that is jealous. He looked for Gu Xiaodie and asked about the events of that day, and he was already sure that Gu Mingxiu did it.

This daughter did this kind of thing that embarrassed Gu Fu, and she dared to pour dirty water on her sister. Gu Changge is his daughter, the baby daughter who is full of pearls.

No one can block Gu Changge's path, and they can't smear her a little bit.

It doesn't matter who the person is.

Gu Qingyuan looked at Gu Changge's gentle expression, caught a bit of grievance in her eyes, suddenly sank her face, slapped her on the table, and said coldly: "Since An Li doesn't know how to teach her daughter, then I'll teach her for her!" This kind of daughter has lost the face of my Gu Mansion, she is simply a sinister girl! ”

He shouted angrily, "Someone! Tie Gu Mingxiu to the ancestral hall for me! ”

When Gu Changge heard this, his eyes turned red in an instant: "Daddy, you wait, don't be like this-Daddy, the fourth sister is her body-"

"I see that she is in good health, just to coax you not to settle accounts with her!" Gu Qingyuan hurriedly appeased Gu Changge, and his tone was as gentle as possible, "Such a person who is so disrespectful of honesty and shame, and the city government is extremely deep and evil-minded, he must be cured!" Changge, you don't have to worry about this matter, let alone plead for her. ”

After saying that, he patted Gu Changge's back again, and then turned around and strode away.

Gu Changge was about to say something more, but seeing that Gu Qingyuan's back had disappeared at the door, the worry on his face gradually sank. Gu Xiaodie stood aside and said with a smile: "What did I say?" Father will definitely help us make decisions. ”
