Chapter 011: Mother Yu
When Gu Yu came out of the room, Gu Qiniang was already waiting impatiently, and couldn't help but scold again: "What are you busy with, making me wait for so long?" ”
Gu Yu bowed slightly, bowed to Gu Qiniang, and replied very humbly: "Let my sister wait for a long time and apologize." ”
Gu Qiniang saw that she was respectful and couldn't find anything wrong, so she had no choice but to restrain the anger in her heart and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”
After speaking, he took the lead and walked away, and Gu Yu slowly followed.
Gu's manor is very vast, and the residence of Yu's mother is in the north corner of the west courtyard, which is also a very quiet and elegant place, during which the pavilions and pavilions, the pond pavilion and the water pavilion, the rockery and strange stones, the vines and roses and bamboos, are reflected in a verdant pine and cypress.
Under the leadership of Gu Qiniang and two old women, Gu Yu passed through a tortuous water-copying corridor, passed by several pavilions, and saw a very delicate courtyard hidden in a peach forest, with white gray walls, light red tiles, connecting the arch and the cloister, and a living room with a large window.
Turning a large interstitial screen on a rosewood shelf, Gu Yu saw Yu Shi sitting leaning on the side, lazily studying ink and writing.
At this time, Yu was dressed in a white placket with three deep coats and wide-sleeved skirts, combed a loose fallen horse bun, and a peacock single-winged hairpin of rosewood was obliquely inserted on her head, her eyebrows were low and picturesque, and her mouth was like Zhu Yurun, so she sat there lazily, and the white skirt fell from her curved body with flowing water-like lines, which made her posture even more delicate and charming.
Undoubtedly, Yu's appearance is extremely beautiful, and his delicate temperament is on par with Shi Niang, but compared with Shi Niang, it is a little more lazy and charming.
Gu Yu's biological mother Shen is also a well-known beauty in the Wu County area, and her personality is the most flamboyant and uninhibited, it is hard to imagine that the Shen family, who was born in a powerful family of Wu Zong, lost to such a soft and weak woman who seems to be harmless, but, then again, people appreciate illness and weakness more than flamboyant and flamboyant, and it is indeed not surprising that such a woman can enter the heart of a man, but it can also be seen that Shen lost not only her appearance, but also ...... Scheming.
Seeing Gu Yu coming, Yu raised his eyelids leisurely, slowly put down the pen in his hand, in front of her, the white silk is written on the four big characters of "good as water", it is a very beautiful hairpin flower Xiaokai, it is not difficult to see that it is the calligraphy of Mrs. Wei of the Western Jin Dynasty who is imitated, and it is said that Mrs. Wei's book is like "flower arrangement, beauty on stage, and like red lotus reflecting water, blue swamp floating xia", even Wang Yishao's enlightenment is also to Mrs. Wei as a teacher.
But obviously, although Yu's calligraphy is beautiful, it is not as beautiful as Mrs. Wei, let alone the sage Wang Xizhi.
She glanced at Gu Yu, and Gu Yu bowed and said, "Mother." ”
Yu Shi snorted, but there was a slight surprise in her eyes, she cleared her voice, and a slightly sweet voice overflowed: "I heard that you were called to Yixin Hall by your grandmother, for you and Shi Niang fell into the water?" ”
The incident happened suddenly, she didn't have time to rush to Yixin Hall, and Mrs. Gu gave up the matter, but when she asked for peace, she reprimanded her severely, saying that since this granddaughter was raised under her knees, her teaching and nurturing was a responsibility that she could not ignore.
Gu Yu said, "Yes." ”
Although Yu Shi thought so in her heart, she couldn't see joy and sorrow on her face, she turned sideways slightly, tried her best to look elegant and dignified, and said: "Since you respect me as your mother, then as a mother, I will teach you a lesson and punish you for doing wrong, do you have any complaints?" ”
"No complaints." Gu Yu replied without hesitation.
Yu Shi was stunned, he didn't expect her to be so obedient, he hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Well, you collided with your grandmother today, and made Shi Niang very angry, you and Zhang Shilang gave each other privately, resulting in the annulment of the marriage between Shi Niang and Zhang Jialangjun, each of these things is a matter that seriously affects the reputation of the boudoir girl, and your mother will punish you to kneel in the hall and copy the Tao Te Ching twenty times, are you willing?" ”
"Willingly!"
Gu Yu still replied without thinking, and even Gu Qiniang opened her mouth in surprise at this moment.
Yu Shi was stunned for a moment, and just didn't know what to say, at this time, Gu Yu smiled and said: "However, since I am copying the Tao Te Ching, my mother should also give me some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and wooden plaques." ”
"What do you want a wooden plaque for?" Yu blurted out a surprised question.
"It's nothing, it's just that when you write, you may be able to use it." Gu Yu explained.
Yu looked at her suspiciously, and said half-loudly: "Okay!" Then he instructed his servants to take some pen, ink, paper, inkstones and wooden plaques, and handed them to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu took it respectfully, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly paused again.
She stopped her steps, Gu Qiniang and Yu Shi both froze, and looked at her vigilantly, she had long known that this girl would not be punished obediently, and her temperament inherited her biological mother's unruly and arrogant, which sister in this Gu Mansion has not been beaten by her fist, but no matter how many punishments this girl has received, she still refuses to change her teachings, but her father and grandfather are still partial to her and speak for her everywhere, otherwise, as a concubine, how could she stay in this Gu Mansion until now?
Gu Qiniang was thinking about it, so she listened to her: "Oh, by the way, I heard that my mother was born in a famous family, and she has been familiar with the books of a hundred schools since she was a child. ”
Yu Shi was stunned, and the eyes that seemed to be happy and affectionate quickly raised and threw themselves at Gu Yu, she asked what is this for?
Although he was suspicious in his heart, Yu still replied: "Speaker, there is a turmoil!" ”
Gu Yu smiled, and then said: "Yes, the speaker, the turmoil, the walker, the real mourning." The husband is easy to move, and the real loss is easy to be dangerous, so there is no reason for resentment, and clever words are partial. Confucius also said that a gentleman has nine thoughts, seeing and thinking, listening to Sicong, Sesiwen, looking and thinking, saying and loyal, thinking about things, doubting and asking, thinking about difficulties, and seeing righteousness.
Mother's family history, self-critical thinking, when you know that words have always been unpredictable, how can you listen to biased beliefs, does the mother think, rumors are true, hearsay, credible, however, if this is the way, it is inevitably shallow! ”
Yu couldn't help but be stunned, she really didn't expect Gu Yu to refute her with Lao Zhuang's words, she had been familiar with "Analects", "Lao Tzu" and "Zhuangzi" since she was a child, these words were memorized, but they were taken out by a younger generation to satirize, and in the end there was some loss of face.
Gu Qiniang was even more dumbfounded, her willow eyebrows were upside down, her apricot eyes were wide, and she shouted, "What are you talking nonsense?" What does such a trivial matter have to do with the Tao? ”
Gu Yu smiled, and still calmly continued: "The trail is also the way, the sage said, the road is simple, the path is difficult, the so-called see the subtle knowledge, but also to distinguish between right and wrong." ”
"You-" Gu Qi Niang knotted angrily.
However, Gu Yu didn't give her a chance to refute, looked at Yu Shi and continued: "I see that my mother's penmanship is calm, graceful and smooth, when she is a wise man who enjoys water, her husband is indisputable, since she nourishes all things with the nature of water, but the mother of the master is only disturbed by the wind, and her way is ...... Far from it! ”
At this time, Gu Qiniang was not only stared at the apricot eyes, but also shocked and surprised, so angry that she couldn't speak, until she was heard for a long time, or Yu Shi was able to maintain her calm demeanor that was not angry or angry, and asked, "Do you think my mother heard something wrong?" ”
Gu Yu smiled, her eyes were full of brilliance, and she replied: "First, I didn't collide with my grandmother, second, I didn't get angry with Shi Niang, and third, I didn't teach Zhang Shilang privately, I didn't admit all of what my mother said, and besides, since my mother thinks about my reputation, she won't condemn me like this!" ”
Yu's face changed even more, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't find the right words for a while, she didn't expect that she would completely lose her momentum in front of a sister-in-law who was not as good as her, and what made her feel even more angry was that when it came to this, if she argued again, she would lose the demeanor of an elder.
Gu Qiniang didn't care about it, and shouted: "Shut up, do you talk to your mother like this?" Do you understand the word 'filial piety'! ”
"Only when the six relatives are not in harmony can there be filial piety!" After Gu Yu finished saying a sentence with a sneer, he walked out with a box of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Seeing her walk away like a gust of wind, Gu Qiniang stomped her feet angrily, made a long noise, spit out a breath of turbidity, and said, "A-Niang, this girl is ...... What nonsense, this is sophistry also! ”
How do you know that Yu's face was pale, straightened up, and reprimanded softly: "Shut up, what she said is reasonable, it's my fault." ”
"Auntie, what did you say? Are you confused? Gu Qiniang couldn't believe her ears.
Yu Shi looked at her and said: "Jin'er, so unbearable, you are far worse than her, in this Gu Mansion, 'good is like water, the husband is not fighting', this is the way that A-Niang should take, to take this road, you must have a more patient heart than ordinary people and tolerance of all rivers!" After that, she looked at Gu Qiniang and added, "You should be the same." ”
Gu Qiniang frowned, endured it for a while, and then swallowed the anger that almost erupted, and hurriedly bowed her head and said yes.
"But Ah Niang, don't you think today's Eleven Niang is very weird?" Gu Qiniang said, "Although she used to have a bad temper, she was not so discerning!" ”
Yu Shi picked up the pen again, studied the ink, looked calm, and said calmly: "It's very weird, so A-Niang has never looked down on her, a person who is willing to call his biological mother his mother is not simple." It's just that today she seems to be more and more prominent! ”
Stopping the pen in his hand, Yu Shi looked up at the leaves swaying in the wind outside the window, and said in his heart: Water conservancy is not disputed, but it is a pity that the tree wants to be quiet, and the wind does not stop!
"About Shi Niang and Shi Niang falling into the water, Jin'er, how much do you know?" She asked instead.
