Chapter 004: Gu's Family Punishment
The Gu family has thousands of hectares of fertile land, and its manor can be said to be one of the largest in the Wu sergeant clan, and the mansion built is naturally criss-crossed by Qianmo lanes, and the wine shops are lined up one after another.
As soon as she entered the hall, a warm air like mid-spring invaded, dissipating the morning dew and cool air on Gu Yu's body, however, this warm and pleasant feeling did not last long, and something smashed towards her in the sky above her head.
Gu Yu tilted her head, and saw a Ru kiln porcelain vase smashed into pieces on her side, followed by an old and cold voice.
"Don't kneel down yet!"
Gu Yu raised his eyes and saw an old man about sixty years old sitting on an official hat chair covered with tiger skin towers, his face full of disgust, and his dim eyes full of frost.
When she saw this face for the first time, Gu Yu felt extremely unfamiliar, because of the missing memories in her mind, she had long been unable to see these faces, but when she heard this cold sentence without a trace of emotion, and saw that contemptuous and disgusted eyes, those memories that had been forgotten surged out like a flood!
"Where is this evil obstacle is the children and grandchildren of my Gu family, what she sheds is clearly the rebellious blood of the Shen family, with a body of anger, my Gu family doesn't want such a granddaughter, she is so indifferent, just beat her to death!"
This is her grandmother, the old lady Gu Lu, Gu Lu was originally born in the Lu family of the first-class scholar family in Wu County, the Lu family is the same as the Gu family, from the Three Kingdoms to the Two Jin Dynasty, all of them are celebrities and gentlemen, and the girls of the Lu family are also a model of virtuous women with both talent and virtue in the land of Wu County, but in the memory that emerged in Gu Yu's mind, her noble grandmother has always been harsh and repulsive to her, and there is no other gentle and kind side.
Especially after her biological mother Aunt Shen had an accident, she became a disgrace to the Gu family in the eyes of this grandmother, as long as nothing happened in the house, she could be safe, which was mostly due to the fact that this grandmother didn't care about her, but once something happened, then she would be the first to be held accountable and punished.
For example, this time she and Gu Siniang fell into the water together, even if she almost died in this matter, even if she also lay in bed for three days and three nights due to the infection of wind and cold, but these are not the things that her grandmother cares about.
All she cares about is the hurt and grievances suffered by her other granddaughter.
Seeing Gu Yu staring at her blankly, without even blinking her eyes for a long time, Old Madam Gu couldn't help but drink again in annoyance: "Kneel!" ”
Gu Yu suddenly came back to his senses and knelt down obediently without saying a word.
In fact, this scene is extremely familiar to her, in the previous life, Gu Chongzhi, the youngest grandson of the Gu family, died at the same time as the fetus in her mother's womb, and the Gu family imposed all this misfortune and guilt on her, and Mrs. Gu was bent on beating her to death. But perhaps it was just because her life was not relieved that she was punished before she was kicked out of the Gu family.
And among them, there is kneeling broken porcelain.
How could she forget, because of that kneeling and breaking porcelain, her knee fell to the root of the disease, until the lonely ten years in the deep palace, she would often be haunted by nightmares in the middle of the night, or wake up from never-ending pain.
She has her pride and refusal to admit defeat, but she knows that the more she has such a temperament, the more she can give Old Madam Gu a reason to punish her.
So she didn't complain or refute anything, and knelt down without saying a word.
Old Madam Gu showed a hint of surprise in her expression, but she didn't lose her anger because of her obedience, she solemnized her face and asked coldly, "Do you know what's wrong?" ”
Gu Yu raised his head, his dark eyes looked at Mrs. Gu for a moment, there was no guilt or self-blame in his eyes, and there was not even a trace of fear in his eyes.
Yes, it's such a look, it's exactly the same as that Shen!
There was a trace of disgust in Old Madam Gu's eyes, and she raised her head and chin a little, and was about to call someone, but at this time, she heard Gu Yu shout.
"Grandmother!"
Old Madam Gu looked at her and listened to her: "Grandmother, I know my mistake!" ”
Grandmother, I know my mistake!
Hearing this, Mrs. Gu choked, she was really a little surprised, she looked at her granddaughter who was kneeling under the hall and did not change her color, the anger that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time was not good for a while, and she was stunned for a long time before she asked sharply: "If you know your mistake, then you say it yourself, where are you wrong?" ”
Gu Yu raised his head, looked at Mrs. Gu calmly, and said: "Grandmother, the granddaughter knows that she is wrong, because the grandmother thinks that the granddaughter is at fault, which is the same as the king wants the minister to die and the minister has to die, as for where the granddaughter is wrong, the granddaughter really doesn't know, please grandmother make it clear!" ”
"What did you say?"
The servants in the hall couldn't help but change color, and Old Madam Gu couldn't believe her ears, so she pointed at Gu Yu and asked again: "You repeat what you just said!" ”
"Grandmother!" Gu Yu's face still did not change, raised his head and looked directly into Mrs. Gu's eyes and replied, "The granddaughter knows that she is wrong, that is because the grandmother thinks that the granddaughter is wrong, and the granddaughter has no way to distinguish herself, as for what the granddaughter is wrong, please grandmother make it clear!" ”
When Mrs. Gu heard this, her eyes suddenly turned black with anger, her body fell upside down, and several servant women were in a hurry, and they stepped forward to help her one after another.
Seeing this, Gu Yu was about to get up, but she heard Old Madam Gu shouting repeatedly: "Fight, she doesn't know what she is wrong, just beat until she knows!" ”
A servant woman stepped forward, and without saying a word, the slender rattan fell on her back like a spiritual snake, and the pain went deep into the bone marrow.
Gu Yu gritted his teeth, and the sweat on his forehead fell.
At this moment, Chen Yu rushed in from outside the hall, knelt in front of the old lady with a puff, and begged with a cry: "Mrs. Tai, I can't complain about the lady in this matter, even if the lady is wrong, it is also the fault of those of us who are subordinates, it is the old slave who did not take good care of the lady, and please ask the lady to look at the face of the third master, spare the lady, and punish the old slave if you want to punish it!" With that, she slammed down and said loudly, "The old slave is willing to be punished on behalf of the lady!" ”
"Chen Yu!" Gu Yu shouted and reprimanded, "Get out!" ”
However, Chen Yu, who was prostrate on the ground, only raised her head slightly, looking at Gu Yu's tearful eyes full of guilt and distress.
Old Madam Gu looked at this pair of masters and servants, and her heart couldn't help but rise sharply, and she snorted coldly: "The master made a mistake, and the crime of being a slave is added to the first degree, you think I forgot to punish you!" After that, he pointed at the old woman who was holding the whip, "The two of them fight together!" ”
The servant woman said yes, and was about to fall on Chen Yu with a whip, when a sudden voice came from outside the door: "Stop!" A woman with a fallen ponytail and a purple and white robe strode in, the woman was between thirty and forty years old, and had a particularly gentle and kind face, and her facial features were not very exquisite, but the temperament of her body was dignified and elegant, which was a style that only the noble daughters of the family raised.
The woman glanced at Gu Yu, her eyes seemed to show pity, and she hurriedly walked in front of Mrs. Gu, and said with a smile: "Auntie, Ah Yu is just a child, what are you angry with her, not to mention that this time the fall into the water is just an accident, and Shi Niang is not lightly ill, this is just a little better......"
Before the woman finished speaking, Mrs. Gu said angrily: "Look at her like this, where does she look like she has been sick, I think she is clearly pretending to be sick, Shi Niang has always known how to humble her sisters, and she is tolerant of her everywhere, she is good, because a flute can push her sisters into the pond and put people to death, and it is also thanks to Twelve Lang who saved the two of them, so as not to let Shi Niang die." ”
After a pause, he said, "But Shi Niang's body is weak, and this cold day falls into the pond, and there may be some root of the disease!" If I tolerate her in this matter, wouldn't it make her even more lawless in the future, and bring that arrogant anger against the Martial Sect to my Gu family, and sooner or later her temperament will destroy all the Qingwang of my Gu family! ”
"Auntie, no matter how bad her temperament is, that is also the daughter of our Gu family, your granddaughter, she has been raised under the Shen family for a few years, it is inevitable that she will be contaminated with some martial arts pride, so she is now raised under the name of her younger brother-in-law, and her younger sister-in-law is a girl of the Yu clan of the Huiji clan, as long as she has more time to teach, she can always be taught well!"
Gu Yu sneered in his heart when he heard this: This woman is her eldest aunt Zhang, Zhang's family was originally from the first-class Wu sergeant clan with the same name as the Gu family of Wu County, and his grandfather went to Luoyang in the Western Jin Dynasty to serve as an official.
The latter two generations have been married, Zhang is a typical family in the cultivation of the wife, elegant and dignified, gentle temperament, because of the current advocating of the old Zhuang no desire to fight the indifferent style, Zhang as the head of the family feeding, treat the family children and nephews, regardless of the concubine are tolerant
However, it was such a gentle and charitable aunt who stepped on her mother for being wrongfully poisoned, and at the same time pushed her son's death on her, causing her to be expelled from the Gu family with the infamy of mutilating her siblings......
At this time, Zhang's family, although she pleaded for her every sentence, did not talk about right or wrong in private, where was it really good for her, although she didn't understand these ways of vain in her previous life, how could she not see it clearly now......
"Grandmother, Ah Yu is not angry with her grandmother, but her grandmother doesn't believe Ah Yu, so Ah Yu is wrong if she doesn't say it, and if she says more, it's wrong, and if she says more, it's all wrong, what can Ah Yu do?"
Gu Yu raised his head and asked, his face was calm, his eyes were like stars, Zhang couldn't help but be stunned, and Old Madam Gu also calmed down a little distractedly.
Gu Yu said again: "As for what my grandmother said, I pushed Shi Niang into the water, but Ah Yu didn't dare to admit it, who saw it?" ”
Old Madam Gu turned her gaze to the servant woman beside her, and the servant woman was about to say something, when a shrill voice came in steeply.
"Grandmother, I can testify!"
