The world sees her flowers and brocade, but in fact, she cooks oil on fire.

Gu Fu is detached from morality, and the attitude of Dingyuan Hou is still unknown, which means that she may not be able to rely on her mother's family, and she can only walk the road in the future.

The existence of Yongyi Hou Shizi cannot be avoided, if it cannot be resolved, it will become a huge gap between her and the King of Qin, and no man likes a half-hearted woman. After all, King Qin witnessed the origin and extinction of the two of them, and also saw her lost soul, it was impossible for Gu Qingyi to quibble, and the only way to do this was to show his heart.

It's just that what disappointed her was that King Qin's expression was unfathomable, and there was no way to get a glimpse of his attitude, and thinking of this, her heart sank suddenly.

Outside there was a burst of insects, noisy and noisy, but the room was quiet and silent, and the insightful eyes swept over her, as cool and cold as moonlight, and after a long time, I heard King Qin's low voice say, "This king understands." ”

What did he understand, King Qin didn't say, and Gu Qingyi couldn't guess it, but he quickly pushed the door out and disappeared into the dark night, the room was cold and desolate, as if nothing had happened.

Only Gu Qingyi knew that her underwear was soaked, and her back was unconsciously straight, and she didn't know how much effort she had spent to maintain her arrogance, and she suddenly relaxed for a while with soreness, she didn't feel sleepy, and began to think about what happened tonight, and fell asleep in a daze, and woke up the next day It was already daylight.

Obviously slept all night, but she was exhausted as if she hadn't slept, and her head hurt faintly, maybe she was not looking good, which made Mama Xu ask worriedly, "Is the girl tired?" Or is there something uncomfortable? ”

"I'm fine, I didn't sleep well yesterday, I'll be crooked for a while."

Mama Xu hurriedly waved away the slave maid who came forward to serve her to make up for her sleep, but after a quarter of an hour, she had to call her up, "Girl, Mrs. Zhou is here." ”

Gu Qingyi was in a state of mind for a while, and hurriedly ordered, "Quickly freshen up for me." ”

Before she finished freshening up, Mrs. Zhou had already taken Mama Rong to Yusheng Courtyard, "Don't salute, I'll be busy with you first." You don't look good today, but you're not feeling well? ”

Han Dong was playing with her hair, Gu Qingyi couldn't move, she just shook her head slightly, and said the reason why she had just prevaricated Mama Xu, fortunately, her acting skills were good, and Mrs. Zhou didn't doubt it much, "You are not in good health, and it is also possible to sleep more on weekdays, so there is no need to worry." ”

"Got it, stepmother."

Mrs. Zhou's smile was even better, and she said, "Your marriage has been scheduled for the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, but Mrs. Gu is unfortunately unwell, so she asked me to come to handle your wedding dowry, you don't need to worry about it, just wait for the marriage with peace of mind." ”

The slaves and maids in the house were all happy, Gu Qingyi blushed and lowered her head at the right time, and had the heart to ask some details, but she was the identity of the daughter to be married, and it was not suitable after all, but fortunately, there was Mama Xu next to her to ask, only to hear her ask, "Dare to ask Mrs. Zhou, how is the dowry of our girl calculated?" Also, with only one month of hard work, how to prepare the wedding dress? ”

"Mama don't have to worry, Gu Zhou's two families marry daughters, the dowry is bound to not be underestimated, as for the wedding dress, it has already been prepared by the embroidery lady of Xiuyun Pavilion, day and night, a month's hard work is enough, and there are some reward purses left, Mama only needs to tell the slaves and maids in the yard to sew some of them."

Mama Xu was surprised and delighted, thanked her again and again, Mrs. Zhou shook her head and smiled lightly, let Gu Qingyi eat breakfast properly, and then said that she wanted to talk to her about herself, and the slaves and maids who were waiting for her retreated with interest, and only when there were only two mother and daughter left in the room, Mrs. Zhou pulled Gu Qingyi to sit down softly, "I didn't have a chance to ask you before, is the injury you were injured when you fell from the horse?" Come, put your hand out and let me see, does it still hurt? ”

Gu Qingyi stretched out her scabbed five fingers and said with a smile, "Look, stepmother, didn't you let Zhilan tell you, my injuries are all healed." ”

"It's always a little uneasy not to look at me personally, some scabs are still not strong, you can't scratch them." Seeing that she nodded obediently, docile and cute, Mrs. Zhou was both relieved and ironed in her heart, and her heart added three points of love, and the lines on her face became softer and softer. It's just that he suddenly remembered something, and his expression became solemn, "King Qin suddenly wants to marry you as a concubine, but it scared me, I was said to be a side concubine before, why did it change?" Has King Qin ever spoken to you? ”

Gu Qingyi remembered the unpleasantness of last night, and her face inevitably showed some traces, Mrs. Zhou's eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw it, "What's wrong?" Are you losing your temper with King Qin again? ”

She knew more or less that Gu Qingyi was unwilling to marry King Qin.

Gu Qingyi's mind was full of thoughts, but after all, he still didn't say Yongyi Hou Shizi, "No, you think too much about your stepmother, I can marry King Qin as the main house, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be unhappy?" As for why he was re-established as a concubine, I don't know either. ”

Seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake, Mrs. Zhou had no suspicion at all, patted her hand and sighed, "No matter what the reason is, it is always good to be in the main room, enter the Qin Palace, live a good life in the future, if you are bullied, you still have a stepmother." ”

This means to be her backer.

Gu Qingyi's eyes turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head, "Thank you, stepmother, Yi'er will definitely not let you down." ”

"Silly girl." Mrs. Zhou rubbed her head, kind and kind.

Mrs. Zhou didn't sit for long before she went to see Zhang, her name for coming to the door was to handle the dowry, Gu Qingyi was not easy to follow, but she heard Mama Zhou say that Mrs. Zhou asked for her mother's dowry list.

Gu Qingyi suddenly reacted in hindsight, Mama Zhou was talking about her cousin's mother, her ex-aunt.

The Gu family is a family of poetry, known as a clear name and a hard life, and the children are not abundant, the roots and branches are not prosperous, not as good as other prosperous families, and the family is not very noble. At that time, Gu Kangwen's five relatives were cut off, and he only had a young sister, which was inevitably looked down upon, and he never married until he was a matchmaker until his mentor was a matchmaker and married the daughter of the Li family, who was also a noble family of poetry and books, for Gu Qingyi's mother.

The Li family is gentle and virtuous, dignified and courteous, takes care of the Gu Mansion in an orderly manner, and takes care of the sister-in-law in every way, and the sister-in-law is very affectionate, but it is a pity that both of them are famous, and they died soon after giving birth to their daughters, leaving a sigh in vain.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyi couldn't help but feel sad, because of the friendship of her mother, her relationship with her cousin was closer than that of her own sisters, but now there are few old people, and she is the only one left.

When Mama Xu saw her gloomy expression, she must have remembered the sad thing, and secretly slapped herself in the mouth, but her heart was more relieved, in the past, when she mentioned her deceased mother and uncle's family, the girl was bound to cry, but now she just looked sad, it seems that she is a lot stronger, and she is not afraid that she will be soft in the future and be wronged in the palace.

She hurriedly coaxed people and said with a smile, "Girl, don't be sad, the eldest master and the second master must have known the news of your wedding, and they will return to Beijing to send you to marry when the time comes." ”

Mama Xu is the bridal maid of the Li family, and she always calls her mother's family a little kinder.

Gu Qingyi thought of a big problem at this time, she didn't know much about her cousin's family, except for knowing that her grandfather Zhishi was in his old age and was now the eldest uncle in charge, she didn't know any other specific circumstances.

However, she is not very nervous, she can hide from Mama Xu, and she will not show her stuffing in front of her relatives who have not seen her once in a few years.

"By the way, Mama, where is the letter that my uncle sent me all these years, take it out and I'll take a look."

Mama Xu didn't suspect it, thinking that she missed her grandfather's house, so she hurriedly opened the box of Dongnuan Pavilion and took out a beautiful mahogany box from it, "Girl, my lord, their letters are all here, and none of them are missing." ”

The mahogany box has been around for many years, and it can be seen that it has been carefully cared for by its owner, and the edges of the wood have been smoothed out, smooth and shiny, and it can be seen that it is often caressed.

Seeing her expression of emotion, Mama Zhou also sighed, "When the girl was a child, she always liked to hide the box in the bed, and she couldn't sleep if she couldn't see the box, which shows that she has a good relationship with her grandfather." ”

Gu Qingyi sighed, feeling pity and pain in her heart, this box letter is probably one of the few sustenances for her cousin. She secretly confessed her guilt before opening the box, "Mama, go and get busy, I'll stay by myself later." ”

Mama Xu glanced at her uneasily, and saw that her expression was calm, and she really didn't mean to cry, so she left in response and ordered the maids and women in the yard to start sewing purses.

Gu Qingyi in the room opened the envelope, and there was a thick pile of envelopes neatly placed inside, more than ten years of correspondence had already filled up the space of the box, and I am afraid that I would have to add another box in the near future.

Gu Qingyi took out all the letters first, and found that the family letter from her aunt when she had not died was also inside, and there was one every month or two, and until last month, it had not been broken for more than ten years. The words in the letter are cordial and affectionate, caring, often ask about daily life and diet, physical health, undisguised love and pampering flow from between the lines, no wonder the cousin has a deep affection for the outside family and is very dependent, even if Gu Qingyi sees it now, he also feels hot in his heart, and he is close to the Li family who have never been masked.

The information revealed in the letter to the family is that the Li family's father is kind and filial, the concubine is friendly, the family lives together, is harmonious, and the family is happy.

At the beginning, the Li family intended to take their cousin to live, but the Zhang family made a hindrance from it, and it didn't work out in the end. Gu Qingyi couldn't help but sigh, if her cousin grew up in the Li family, she would definitely be happier and smoother than now, and she would not be implicated by her, and finally lost her life.

Thinking of her cousin's death, she was finally uneasy and uneasy.

Creation makes people, nothing more than that.
