Chapter 010: A Slap in the Face
"What did you say?"
It didn't seem to be clear, Gu Yu asked again, and his expression was full of surprise.
The tears swirling in Chen Yu's eyes fell, but then she had plastic surgery again, and barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Lady, I think it's not appropriate for you to go to see Aunt Shen at this time." ”
"What's wrong?" Gu Yu asked.
Chen Yu was silent for a moment, held back the tears in her eyes, and replied: "The lady is now raised under the knees of your grandmother Yu, and everything must be done depending on the face of the grandmother, if you can win the love of the grandmother, you may be able to promise a good family in the future, and get a good family business, but if you make her unhappy, I am afraid that the Yu family is broad-minded, and it will also be ...... in the marriage of the lady."
Gu Yu sneered and replied: "In the end, I look at the world with more good thoughts and less defense, although the good are good, and the bad are good, I am also good, this is the virtue of a saint, however, there is never a balance and equality in the spiritual scales between people, let alone ...... This is still an inner house. ”
After Gu Yu finished speaking, Chen Yu couldn't help but mourn, although it was indeed a whimsical thing for the Yu family to be able to regard Gu Yu as her own, but she still had this hope and luck in her heart, looking forward to the fact that the Yu family, a noble girl who had been influenced by Confucius and Menglaozhuang since childhood, would be different, but she didn't want to be broken by Gu Yu's words......
"But, Why, are you hiding something from me?" Seeing that Chen Yu was stunned, Gu Yu turned to ask again.
Chen Yu hurriedly replied: "No, there is nothing to hide." ”
"Alright, Why, let's go have dinner!" Gu Yu said, glanced at Chen Yu again, and saw that there was obviously a dodge in her eyes, but she didn't ask, and walked straight out of the bedroom.
He walked in with a plate of dishes and snacks, which was a bowl of barley porridge, a pancake, and a lettuce soup.
"Lady, this is your favorite lettuce soup...... After putting the plate on the table, Miaowei paused, and said, "Originally, there was sea bass in the big kitchen, but the old woman in charge said that the ten ladies were not fully cured, so they gave one more, and this sea bass is the favorite of the thirteen ladies, so the thirteen ladies also asked for one more, and the slaves went a little late, and the one that belonged to the lady was ......"
Ulva soup and sea bass are famous dishes in Wuzhong, Gu Yu looked at this famous dish on the table, and couldn't help but think of an allusion, in the past, Zhang Han saw the autumn wind and thought about the meaning of the perch, so he said: "Life is expensive and ambitious, how can you detain the eunuch for thousands of miles to be famous!" He returned with his fate and escaped the disaster of King Qi - it was the most bloody and tragic period of the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the history of the Jin Dynasty.
Thinking of the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", she thought of the current Jin world.
Today's Jin Dynasty can be described as a weak royal family that survives in the cracks under the power of the gate lord clan, the Jin Dynasty was originally strong under the control of Emperor Wu a few decades ago, but because of the power of foreign relatives and ministers, the kings of the clan made a rebellion, after the war of "the rebellion of the eight kings" and "the rebellion of Yongjia", the whole Jin family is divided, the Hu people have called the emperor, and established more than a dozen regimes large and small, the Central Plains land sank, and the Sima royal family was forced to cross the river to come, and lived in a corner of the left side of the river,
And the original capital of the Great Jin Dynasty Luoyang was occupied by Shi Zhao, and then Fu Jian was called the emperor, the capital of Chang'an, the imperial court repeatedly sent people to lead the army to the north expedition, no results, and Fu Jian established the Qin State is getting stronger and stronger, until Fu Jian succeeded to the throne, there is an ambition to eliminate the Jin Dynasty to unify the world.
Gu Yu was the queen mother of the Great Jin Dynasty in her last life, and she repeatedly sent the Huan clan to the Northern Expedition, and Huan Che really lived up to her expectations, pacified Shudi, recovered Luoyang, and broke Yao Xiang.
Gu Yu was also a little jealous, afraid that the Huan clan would be dominant, and the Jin family would be replaced by the Huan clan sooner or later, so he secretly promoted the Xie family's children and made the Xie clan gate valve fight against him, but who would have thought that this distraction alone had been noticed by Huan Che, so after the death of his father, Sima Huanwen, he simply raised the anti-flag and completely tore his face with her.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu felt a little gloomy in her heart, if she hadn't been so anxious in her previous life, or if she continued to make false promises with him, would the result be different?
The thought turned, and he couldn't help but shake his head, how could a person like him be willing to be a minister under the skirt? Even if it was a blue sky and a white day, he dared to boldly open the curtain and sit directly in her bedroom, and he never cared about the gossip in the palace with the people who discussed with her.
"Lady, lady......"
Gu Yu, who was so engrossed, didn't notice Miaowei's continuous call at all, and suddenly woke up, and then looked at Miaowei with an inquiring look.
"Lady, isn't the dish delicious?"
Gu Yu looked at Miaowei and said, "No!" Then he picked up his chopsticks.
Miaowei and Chen Yu stayed aside, and after she finished eating, she was about to serve her to change her clothes, but she heard Gu Yu say: "Now, I don't want to sleep yet, Miaowei, you can go with me to Aunt Shen!" ”
At this time, the sun has sunk in the west, and the green bamboo in the courtyard has been covered with a faint afterglow, and it is dusk, when night is approaching.
As soon as Gu Yu finished speaking, she saw that Miaowei also seemed to have been shocked, and her whole person stiffened, and she snorted for a long time before she snorted: "Lady, have you really forgotten, Aunt Shen, she ......?"
Probably stopped by Chen Yu's eyes, her words suddenly stopped, buried her head and shut up and never said anything again.
There was silence in the room for a moment, which was particularly eerie.
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard a sentence: "She's sick!" But it was Chen Yu who continued, "Aunt Shen, she is sick and locked up in Mulan Courtyard by Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai has issued an order that no one is allowed to visit!" ”
"Sick? What disease did she have? Gu Yu's gaze instantly turned cold, and his brows furrowed.
Chen Yu brushed her sleeves to hide her face, as if she couldn't bear to tell the truth in person, but she motioned to Miaowei to continue to answer: "Aunt Shen went to Longxi, and after she came back, she seemed to have made a big fuss in the house, and Mrs. Tai said that she ...... He said she was insane, so he locked her up......"
Of course, she knew that her biological mother was locked up, and because of the identity of Shen's mother-in-law, her grandmother almost didn't let her meet her biological mother, saying that she couldn't insult her reputation as the daughter of the Gu family, but she really didn't expect that there was such a truth in this.
Before Miao Wei finished speaking, she saw the lady rushing out of the door with an arrow step.
"Lady...... Lady, where are you going? ”
Miao Wei called and chased out, but as soon as she went out, she saw a little lady wearing a jade smoke Luo Qiyun skirt and a flying fairy bun hurriedly walked in front of Gu Yu, and gave her lady a slap without saying a word.
As if the slap was on her face, Miaowei was stunned again, and listened to the little lady reprimand her own lady in a very high-profile eldest sister's tone:
"Ah Niang asked you to read and write with me, just to sharpen your heart, I don't want to, you are still so unenterprising, stubborn, do you want to lose the faces of my Ah Niang and Ah Weng?"
It's bad, the lady's personality of not admitting defeat is bound to fight with the seventh lady! Miaowei couldn't help but feel guilty.
Chen Yu also hurried out, and when she was about to break the siege, she saw Gu Yu bowing to Gu Qi Niang very respectfully, and said sincerely: "Sister A lesson is a lesson, Ah Yu remember!" ”
Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but Gu Qiniang's face unexpectedly showed a trace of surprise, as if she didn't believe that this concubine could honestly admit her mistake after being slapped, and said half-loudly: "That's it, it's good that you know your mistake, I won't say anything, you go to your mother to get the punishment!" ”
Gu Yu said yes, smiled slightly and cast his gaze on Gu Qi Niang's face.
This is her sister-in-law Gu Sijin. After reliving her life, she was no longer impressed by Gu Sijin's appearance, but this kind of appearance of always accusing her in front of people with the style of an eldest sister can make her remember it vividly.
Gu Sijin is half a year older than her, ranked seventh in the family, and her mother Yu is the Yu clan who was born in the head of the four major families of Huiji.
And the ancestor of the Yu family is said to have produced a famous Yi scholar, who was the first to open Jiangdong metaphysics with Xuan Shi Yi, established a family school, and gathered hundreds of disciples, opened the wind of Lingnan, and led the atmosphere of the times.
In today's era when Xuanfeng is prevalent, the family is far more prosperous than the rich and powerful, so even if the family is not noble enough, but with its century-old family education, it can still be listed as a first-class scholar, so the glory of the Yu family should not be underestimated.
As the daughter of the Yu family, the Yu family has a natural and extraordinary status in this Gu Mansion, and its person is even more elegant and quiet, gentle and gentle, about to teach by word and deed since childhood, influenced by its "Lao Zhuang metaphysics", as if learning to become a famous man who has no desire and no desire for "joy and sorrow is invisible".
If it weren't for her last grief of losing her child, as if all the emotions she had accumulated over the years had been vented on her, Gu Yu really couldn't have imagined that her mother-in-law, who had a refined temperament and didn't look like fireworks in the world, would also show such a hideous and ghostly side.
In terms of "cultivation" of temperament that is good at disguise, Gu Sijin is obviously far inferior to her mother.
Seeing that Gu Yu was stunned and didn't move, Gu Qiniang couldn't help frowning again and said angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you leave quickly, follow me to A-Niang!" ”
Gu Yu looked at her and said, "Okay, but you have to wait for a while." With that, he turned and walked into his bedroom.
When Concubine Chen saw her coming, she hurriedly took her hand and told her repeatedly: "Lady, the third lady must have asked you to go to her for today's business, you must be calm......
Gu Yu smiled, shifted his gaze to the Ruijin incense burner on the black lacquered wooden table, which was still emitting wisps of smoke, and suddenly asked, "Fei, what kind of incense is this incense and how did you get it?" ”
Chen Yu was slightly stunned, thought for a moment and replied: "It seems to be called 'Soul Returning Incense',
That's right, it's the soul incense! When the lady fainted, she had many nightmares, the old slave went to Miao'an Temple, and asked the elders in the temple about the situation of the lady, the elder said that the lady was confused by the evil worship in the dream and the soul could not turn back, the old slave begged the elder to give a thing to get rid of the evil worship and keep the lady safe, and the elder gave the old slave this soul incense......
The old slave heard that the elder was also worshipping under Du Tianshi, and the Taoism was spiritual, no, the old slave lit this incense for two or three days, and the lady really woke up! ”
Du Tianshi?
Hearing these three words, Gu Yu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and his face was slightly gloomy.
Chen Yu felt a little uncomfortable, so she asked, "Lady, what's wrong?" ”
Gu Yu looked at Chen Yu, especially thinking of the excitement that flashed in her eyes when she mentioned Du Tianshi, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, but she only said: "It's nothing, how much is left of this incense, can you give me a use!" ”
"What the lady said, you are the master, I am the servant, what the lady wants, how can the old slave not be reasonable." said, and said, "Lady wait a while, the slave will bring it!" ”
