Chapter 3: The Eight Kings' Mansion
Aunt Mo is nothing more than relying on her son to have a chance to straighten out, if the county lord does not die, she has no chance back then, Gu Yanxi can't help but squeeze the porcelain cup tightly. No wonder her mother has been eating for so many years and looking for a doctor, if it weren't for Aunt Mo who did a ghost in it, thinking of this, her face would be more frosty.
The weather in spring is good, perfect for cherry blossom viewing, but in the afternoon it rains, and it doesn't rain much, as if watering the flowers in the garden. She asked Mama Ann to dig out the books her mother had given her, and leaned back in her chair to look silent.
Mama An didn't bother her on the side, but she was very confused, to say that Gu Yanxi didn't know how to read at all in the past, to say that she really changed a lot when she woke up, and inadvertently had many small details, which made her extremely elegant and old.
Afraid that she would disturb her next to her, Ann withdrew from the house and closed the door.
I don't know how much time passed, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the house, and then the door was pushed in, Gu Yanxi raised her eyes slightly, and when she saw someone coming, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then she opened comfortably, with a calm face.
He Qing didn't notice anything wrong, she walked to Gu Yanxi's side. "Miss, Miss Three, Miss Five are here."
Miss Three, Miss Five. Gu Yanxi put down the book, stood up and straightened her skirt. At this time, I saw Gu Yanzhi and I
A girl from a younger grade walked in. Gu Yanzhi is the third oldest among the children of the Gu family, and the girl next to her, named Gu Yanshi, is the fifth oldest among the children of the Gu family, and she is ten years old this year. She is not like Gu Yanzhi, she was born to Aunt Yan. She sat down next to Gu Yanzhi a little timidly.
"The third sister and the fifth sister are fine."
Gu Yanzhi didn't speak, she put her foot and touched Gu Yanshi next to her a few times, Gu Yanshi gritted her teeth and opened her mouth hard. "I heard that the eldest sister happened to be the right one, so the fifth sister and I came to take a look."
Gu Yanshi was afraid of Gu Yanxi, Gu Yanxi had a bad temper in the past, and she didn't send her temper to their concubines, of course, except for Gu Yanzhi.
Butterfly Dance served tea.
Looking at Gu Yanshi's restraint, Gu Yanxi didn't speak, and she didn't speak when the two of them had drunk enough tea. Gu Yanzhi looked at Gu Yanxi, and when she saw the book on Gu Yanxi's desk, her eyes were sarcastic.
"I don't know what the big sister is reading."
Gu Yanxi also looked at the book, picked it up and smiled faintly. "It's just a collection of Chen Yunan's poems." She said it lightly, but Gu Yanzhi inevitably became jealous after hearing it.
Chen Yunan is a famous poet in the previous dynasty, and his poems are also circulated in the market, but he wrote a lot of poems, and I heard that he has compiled his poems into a poetry collection, but there are only a few copies. I didn't expect Gu Yanxi to have one here.
"Chen Yunan's sister has also heard of it, but he is a famous talent. I wonder if the eldest sister can lend this book to her sister and go back to see it. ”
After listening to her words, Gu Yanxi sneered in her heart, saying that she was borrowing, but when did she repay the things she borrowed, such shameless words, did Gu Yanzhi really think that she was a three-year-old child.
"The third sister is really good at laughing, so let's do it, if my sister really wants to see it, my sister hasn't finished reading it, let's talk about it after my sister finishes reading!"
Gu Yanzhi heard her words, and the hand under the table clenched unconsciously, and when she tried a faint pain, she let go of her hand again. In her opinion, where is Gu Yanxi worthy of such a good book, this book is simply a terrible thing for her.
The two didn't sit for long before leaving, and when they left, Gu Yanzhi glanced at He Qing, He Qing lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at her directly.
Gu Yanxi pretended not to see it, her face was still faint, and there was not much expression, and Mama An on the side couldn't help but think of Lord Yan when she saw her look. Mama An and Mama Shen used to serve Lord Yan, they were by her side when Lord Yan was young, and Lord Yan married a lot of girls and mothers-in-law to marry in the Hou Mansion, and when Gu Yanxi was born, Lord Yan arranged her to take care of Gu Yanxi.
Lord Yan married into Hele Houfu and Hou Ye was fine at first, but later after having Aunt Mo, Hou Ye gradually didn't care about others, and even spoiled Aunt Mo to be about the same status in the mansion as Lord Yan, although they couldn't see it, but they also dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak. Lord Yan didn't care either, otherwise with the favor of the eighth prince and the eighth princess for her daughter, Aunt Mo would have died a long time ago.
Gu Yanxi picked up the book on the table and looked at the book, "How is my mother?" She asked softly.
"I heard Mama Shen say that I drank a bowl of porridge and fell asleep." Mama An replied on the side.
Gu Yanxi nodded, she stretched out her hand to prop herself on the table, her head rested on her hand, and she silently read the words in the book in her mouth, but she was still very serious, Mama An waved her hand, and a few maids followed her out.
I don't know if I heard that she was better, only a few days later, the eighth prince and the eighth princess came to the Hou Mansion, and when she arrived in the hall, she saw that the eighth princess was pulling the lord of Yan County and was very distressed. When she saw her, the eighth princess beckoned to her and motioned for her to come over.
"Maternal grandmother, maternal grandfather." She walked to the side of the eighth princess, called out, and then looked at the eighth prince.
"It's okay, don't be willful in the future." The eighth prince said loudly.
The eighth princess on the side snorted coldly, and pulled her granddaughter to say distressedly. "My niece is also obedient no matter how she looks at it, and this time I am afraid that she will not be harmed by wicked people."
These words changed the faces of Gu Hou Ye and Zheng, and they set their eyes on Gu Yanxi, of course, they hoped that Gu Yanxi would not tell the truth, otherwise with the character of the eighth prince and the eighth princess, this matter would be so good.
Gu Yanxi glanced at her father with an elegant smile on her face. "The grandparents also know that they feel sorry for their granddaughter, and this time they also blame their granddaughter for being careless."
When Gu Houye heard her say this, his collapsed nerves immediately relaxed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his daughter has really grown up and is a lot more sensible.
"Good nephew, I've hurt you." The eighth princess comforted her, of course, the eighth princess didn't believe that Gu Yanxi accidentally fell into the pool, but if Gu Yanxi said so, it would be impossible for her to bite this matter to the death.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, rest assured, the son-in-law will definitely punish the girl around Xiyuan for this incident."
The eighth princess waved her hand and didn't look at him. "That's it, Xiyuan is just right, why bother to add bad luck to her house."
A hint of obscurity flashed in Gu Yanxi's eyes, in order to protect Gu Yanzhi, her father actually put all the responsibility on the maid in her house, he was really her good father, and he was really biased.
"Mother-in-law is right."
Zheng didn't dare to interject, she knew that it was not suitable to talk to the eighth princess and the eighth prince with her identity, although she was now in the main family, but her background was low, and her words and demeanor confirmed her humility, so she didn't dare to say anything nonsense.
Today, Lord Yan's face is slightly better, and his face is bloody, not as pale as that day. In fact, she didn't have any major symptoms, but she was weak due to heavy bleeding when she gave birth to Gu Yanxi.
