Chapter 2: Sisters
Watching Gu Mingzhu walk out of the flower hall with the maidservant, Luo's face was a little complicated, and he sighed for a while, and said to Mrs. Gu with a smile: "Thanks to the eldest lady who didn't bother with Mingyu, and I didn't teach Mingyu well, I will punish her to go back and think about it." After that, he looked at Gu Mingyu with a cold face: "If you don't go back, keep to yourself and stay in the room for me, copy the female commandments a hundred times and then come out, if you cause trouble again, you don't have to go to the Qujiang banquet." ”
Gu Mingyu pursed her lips, with tears in her eyes, she bent her knees to Old Madam Gu and Luo Shi for her grievances, turned around and walked outside the flower hall.
Luo looked distressed, but helpless, so he could only shake his head: "After all, it won't work." ”
Old Madam Gu looked at Luo, put the Buddha beads on her wrist, took the medicine bowl given by the maidservant and took a bite, and then said slowly: "Mingyu is still young, teach it slowly, and it's not a bad temperament, you don't have to suffer like this, I also know that it has been difficult for you all these years, take care of the whole house, and let Mingzhu treat her better than Mingyue and Mingyu." ”
Luo's heart was hot, his eyes were red, he lowered his head and said softly: "Thank you Ah Jia, this is what I should do, I dare not say that it is hard, I just hope that the house can be peaceful and happy." ”
Gu Mingyue stood up, bowed to Old Madam Gu and Luo, and said softly: "Grandmother, A-Niang, Mingyu is straightforward, I'm afraid that she won't be able to think about it, I'll persuade her." ”
Roche nodded and said softly, "Go ahead, talk about your sister for me." ”
Gu Mingyue agreed gently, lowered her head and took the maidservant out of the flower hall and went to Gu Mingyu's Tangli Courtyard.
Watching Gu Mingyue go out, Old Madam Gu's eyebrows, which had been cold, finally softened a lot, and said to Luo: "I see, Mingyue is a general knowledge, if the lady in our house has any interest, it depends on Mingyue." She turned her eyes to look at Luo: "Have you arranged the Qujiang banquet this time?" ”
Roche's face was bright, he nodded, and said in a low voice, "It's all arranged." ”
Old Madam Gu bowed slightly: "That's good." From the outside, our house seems to be full of flowers and brocade, cooking oil in a blazing fire, so it is not vigorous, but now the situation in the DPRK and China is changeable, and one is not careful to be afraid that it will end up like Zhao Guogong. Only by thinking about self-preservation and standing firm in the DPRK can we be safe and sound. ”
Luo nodded again and again: "I understand, I must not dare to spoil a big thing." ”
Gu Mingyue took the maidservants to Tangli Courtyard, and saw that the maidservants were driven out by Mingyu, and they all stood outside the door, not daring to go in.
She walked over slowly: "Where is the second lady?" Angry in the room again? ”
Mingyu's personal maid Xiao Ju hurriedly greeted her and curtsied: "Second lady, go in and persuade the third lady, I cried for a while, saying that Mrs. is biased towards the eldest lady, and I can't be angry." ”
Gu Mingyue smiled lightly, and said to Xiao Ju: "I know, you guys retreat, you don't have to wait here anymore, so that people are afraid that something will be said when they see it, which means that it is not good for Yu to have a grudge against the eldest sister." ”
Xiao Ju thanked Gu Mingyue gratefully, and then retreated with the maidservants.
Gu Mingyue pushed open the door, and heard the whimpering cry inside, she waved away her maidservant, closed the door with her backhand and walked in. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Gu Mingyu sitting on the seat with tears on her face, her handkerchiefs were twisted and thrown aside, she walked over and picked it up, sat down on the table and said gently: "Crying like this, tomorrow a pair of eyes will be so swollen that I can't see, how can I go to Qujiang Meeting, and I am not afraid of being laughed at by Wang Yuanniang." ”
Gu Mingyu raised her head to look at Gu Mingyue with red eyes, wiped her tears fiercely, and said unwillingly: "Second sister, tell me, why does A-Niang favor the eldest sister in everything, even if the eldest sister is precious, but she is also the lady in the house, why do you want us to let her go everywhere like this, obviously she is wrong, but A-Niang wants to help her punish me!" She said even more aggrieved, lowered her head and grabbed the hem of her skirt: "But I am A-Niang's daughter, and she is not ......"
Gu Mingyue looked at her sister's unspeakable grievance, she couldn't help sighing, stretched out her hand to pull her, and gently helped her smooth her wrinkled dress: "Yu Niang, you can't say that, A-Niang, she is also for your good, you also know the temperament of the eldest sister, if she loses her temper, I'm afraid that it will make a mess again, and teach outsiders to laugh at it, and you will be more angry." ”
She sighed softly, took a handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face, and said softly: "Your temperament should also be changed, I told you before I went, so that you must restrain your temperament, everyone knows the temperament of the big sister, and no one dares to mess with her." ”
When Mingyu heard this, she was so angry that she pushed away Mingyue's hand and said indignantly: "Why do you want to let her? Just because of her identity? It's all the ladies in the house, why do we have to let her do everything! I just won't let it! ”
Gu Mingyue sighed again: "That's it, you are also this stubborn character." You have a good rest first, I will come to see you tomorrow, let's settle down in these two days, I will go to Qujiang for a banquet the day after tomorrow, but don't make A-Niang angry. She got up and straightened her dress, "I'll go to Dongfu to accompany the eldest sister for you, let her dissipate her anger, and stop embarrassing you." ”
Gu Mingyu's face turned pale with anger, and she grabbed her: "What are you going to accompany her, it is obvious that she is acting willfully and recklessly by virtue of her identity, making everyone in Chang'an City know that the ladies in the General's Mansion are rude and rude, and even we are embarrassed, I just told the truth, she still wants me to compensate her!" She gritted her teeth and said, "Even if she bullies me with her identity the day after tomorrow, don't you want the second sister to compensate her for me, I just want to see how embarrassed she is, she hasn't been looking forward to being valued by the queen of heaven at the Qujiang banquet, and promised her to His Royal Highness King Xian, but it's a pity that she has a bad reputation, and the queen of heaven may not be able to see it!" ”
Gu Mingyue's face changed in fright, and she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her sister: "You are confused, dare to talk nonsense like this, can we also say this!" Even if outsiders say it, she is also our big sister after all, not to mention that she is also pitiful, she has no mother when she is still young......"
It's just that she was interrupted before she finished speaking, Gu Mingyu said angrily: "Second sister, you are still so weak and easy to bully, you speak for her every time, and you want to say that she is pitiful, teach me to let her a little?" She grew impatient.
Gu Mingyue called Xiaoju in: "Let someone send a drink to your lady, take good care of it." He added: "I'm going to compensate the eldest lady for her, but I can't cause trouble again." ”
Xiao Ju heard that there was no crying in the room, and when she saw Gu Mingyue's calm face, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bent her knees and said, "I thanked the second lady for the lady." He said in a low voice, "If it weren't for the second lady, I was afraid that I would have to cry for a while, and it would make the eldest lady angry." ”
Gu Mingyue smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll come to see her tomorrow." As she spoke, she went out of the chamber with the maidservants.
