On the way to the flower hall, Old Madam Gu's face stiffened, and the corners of her mouth drooped with anger.

When she first married into the Gu family, she was extremely incompatible with these concubines, she was very powerful, but those concubines did not deal with her in everything, if it weren't for the father of Da Lang Erlang who died early, she had to rely on the help of the clan to survive, she was afraid that she would have stopped interacting with them a long time ago.

So later, as soon as Da Lang came out, she conveniently came to Chang'an from Qingzhou, and refused to go back, and she didn't pay attention to them all these years, after all, she was the old lady of the General's Mansion, and she was different from them, and she couldn't let them lose the face of the Gu family.

But unexpectedly, they still came to the door!

Thinking of this, Old Madam Gu couldn't help but glance back at Mao: "Whoever let you make your own decisions and let them into the mansion should be driven out and blasted out of Chang'an." ”

Afu, who was holding her beside her, was wearing a new brocade dress, and there was a pair of burnt blue inlaid gold flowers on her head, which was brought back by Gu Yuan the day before, and it was a new trick of Baibao Pavilion, and she deliberately wore it today to give Mao's eye medicine.

When she heard Mrs. Gu talk about Mao's family, she was even more proud in her heart, and she helped Mrs. Gu to smile beside her, and said softly: "Madame is afraid that she is confused for a while, thinking that they are all elders in the clan, and they have to stay alive, so I forgot to ask the old lady to invite in." ”

As soon as she said this, Old Madam Gu was even more annoyed, glanced at Mao coldly, and made up her mind to wait for the group of old pious women to come back to clean her up, and then took Afu's hand and went to the flower hall.

In the flower hall, several old ladies from the Gu family sat on the couch, watching the maidservants bring tea soup and fruit cakes up, their faces were tense, the second old lady and the third old lady didn't look at them much, only the younger six old ladies couldn't help but look around.

After all, it is the powerful General's Mansion, and there are many things in the flower hall that they have never heard of.

She couldn't help but whisper: "Second sister-in-law, the general doesn't know that we came to Chang'an, if the fourth sister-in-law is angry for a while, wouldn't it be ......?"

The second old lady glanced at her with a straight face, and said coldly: "What, this is afraid?" ”

She said word by word with a calm face: "Even if she is the old lady of the General's Mansion, she has been rich and noble in Chang'an for so many years, but she is also a member of the Gu family, she has to follow the rules, she has been arbitrarily in this mansion for so many years, Qinglang Yuanlang is afraid that he will not dare to disobey filial piety, but if he doesn't even ask in the clan, I am afraid that the face of the Gu family will be ruined by her, and the reputation of Qinglang, the general, will also be ruined." ”

She glanced at the sixth old lady: "If you are afraid, you don't have to speak for a while, just say that she was pulled over by me and my third brother and sister, and she can't say that she can open the net, don't worry about you, and you don't have to offend this old lady of the general's mansion." ”

The sixth old lady was excited, remembering the letter received by the Japanese clan some time ago, it was clear that as long as the clan was willing to come forward, they would try their best to take care of the younger generations of the clan in the future, and the letter was signed by Gu Mingzhu, who was the county lord of the palace, and they all knew about the marriage left by the eldest princess of Xuanyang, even if she bought most of Qingzhou City, it was not difficult to buy most of Qingzhou City, as long as she was willing to take care of it, the juniors in the clan were afraid that there would be no good place to go.

Gu Mingzhu not only promised like this, but also really asked several juniors in the clan to go to the grange shop to follow the errands, and let the steward teach them skills, and they saw that they were getting better and better.

It is also because of this that the old ladies who originally made up their minds and refused to have any more dealings with Chang'an came to Chang'an, after all, there is nothing more important than the future generations.

The sixth old lady thought about her second son, who failed several township exams and could only be idle in the house, and couldn't help but turn her heart down, she and Mrs. Gu already had a mustard, it was better to do this matter neatly, and she could also ask for a good errand for those sons who were not successful, so that they could become more prosperous in the future.

Old Madam Gu took Afu's hand and led the maidservant into the flower hall, and what she saw were several old ladies sitting upright with straight faces, and when she came in, only the sixth old lady got up and owed a debt, and bowed to her: "Fourth sister-in-law." ”

The two of them sat on the couch and looked at her calmly, waiting for her to perform the family salute.

The corners of her mouth twitched a few times for a while, for so many years, she was the only one who respected the elder and made people salute, where did she think that there would be this day, but she had to do this salute, these two in front of her were her eldest sisters-in-law, according to the rules of the clan, she should indeed salute, and she couldn't leave a handle for them.

She nodded to the sixth old lady, pulled the corners of her mouth again, and curtled her knees to the second old lady and the third old lady: "I never thought that it was the second sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law and the sixth brother and sister who came to Chang'an, why didn't they bring a letter, and I was startled." ”

As she spoke, she walked over to the mat and sat down, glancing gloomily at the three old ladies and speculating on their intentions.

When she married Gu Si, she had a dispute with a few of them because she wanted to share a few more clan fields from the clan, and they were not soft persimmons, and they were torn apart from her point by point, so that she had no face at all, so she could only give up, but she had a grudge.

After not coming and going for many years, they came to the door this time, either to ask Gu Qing for something, I was afraid that they were here to fight the autumn wind, maybe they wanted to use the identity of the clan relatives to beg Gu Qing with a thick face, but it was a pity, so she was the old lady of the General's Mansion, no matter what idea they had, they didn't want to get half of the benefits, and they wanted to drive them out of Chang'an, so that they would no longer have the face to come to the door, and also relieve her resentment back then.

When she thought of this, she felt happy in her heart, and looked at them with her head held high, waiting for them to explain their intentions.

The second old lady glanced at the third old lady and the sixth old lady, and then opened her mouth: "Some time ago, the clan cultivated the family tree, and the Qinglang branch still didn't understand, so let the three of us come to Chang'an to have a look, and we can also know what it is. ”

She kept saying in a fit of rage: "I heard that Qinglang's daughter-in-law is sick? How's it going? Why didn't you see me? ”

Hearing the second old lady ask about Luo, Old Madam Gu's face was a little unsightly, after all, the matter of Luo's mother's family is really embarrassing, if they are taught to know, I am afraid that they will have to leave a handle.

She said perfunctorily: "I'm sick, I'm not lightly ill, I can't get up for a while, I rest in the yard, and I'll be better another day, and I'll have the opportunity to say hello to you again." ”

The second old lady didn't give in: "Since this is the case, there is no need for her to come over, just let the third brother and sister go to see her." ”

She didn't even give in and insisted on seeing Roche, but she didn't know what her idea was.

Old Madam Gu was suspicious for a while, what are these three old pious women here for?
