Chapter 019: Doubts
"The luthier?"
Chen Yu's eyes showed surprise, but she asked rhetorically: "What did the lady say...... What kind of luthier? ”
Gu Yu thought for a moment about the man in Tsing Yi who was masked with a hat and soap veil he met last night, so he had to rely on his feelings for the man's voice and replied: "A Lang Jun, a very young Lang Jun, I think, should be a child of the family." ”
If it is a child of a family and comes to Gu Mansion to teach, it is impossible that no one will know.
There are not many Langjun of the Gu family, the big house only has Gu Chongzhi, the youngest son of the Zhang family, the second room has a son-in-law Gu Langzhi and a concubine Gu Tingzhi, the third room has no children, and the Gu family has a concubine in the previous generation, which is Gu Yu's fourth uncle Gu Cheng, who has not married a wife but has not married a wife, and likes to travel around to make friends.
If Old Madam Gu wanted to invite a famous family to teach the Langjun sisters-in-law in the mansion, it would not be difficult to do it so quietly, judging from Concubine Chen's expression, she had never heard of a pianist in the mansion.
In other words, last night, the man in Tsing Yi lied to him.
Gu Yu couldn't help but smile, in fact, she should have known that what the man said was not credible, how could a person who didn't even dare to show his true face tell her the truth?
But who could he be? How could she know that the Shen family was locked up in Mulan Courtyard, and even knew that she would go to the Shen family at that time?
Gu Yu was full of doubts in her heart, thinking about it at this time, the figure of the man in green clothes and the temperament revealed by that body seemed to be quite familiar, and it was very likely that he was the "old man" of her previous life, thinking like this, she couldn't help but regret a little, if she didn't care so much about etiquette at that time, it would be nice to take a look at his hat.
But then again, the man didn't want her to see her face, and he certainly wouldn't let her get it too easily.
Thinking of the man in Tsing Yi, Gu Yu felt a pang in her heart, and immediately remembered the man with long hair and a gorgeous brocade robe she saw when she escaped from Mulan Courtyard last night, and the dream she had just had.
The dream was so real that it was as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Shen laughed fiercely, and the man's deep voice like Zhong Xin seemed to ring in his ears. And she still clearly remembered that the man seemed to want to ask something from Shen's mouth?
What did he want to know?
He also knows the Shen family's name, what does he have to do with the Shen family?
Thinking about it, Gu Yu couldn't help but stroke her forehead with a headache, and her intuition told her that she must have seen this person in her previous life, but it was a pity that she never saw the front of the man, whether it was a glance back last night or in a dream.
Chen Yu saw that Gu Yu's face was changing, cloudy and uncertain, as if she had a look of hidden worry and pain, but she didn't have half of her emotions to vent, and she couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Lady, what's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Yu shook her head and didn't answer, and Chen Yu said again: "Lady, if you are bitter in your heart, you can cry, you are like this, and your heart is even more uncomfortable." ”
Gu Yu smiled, but still only said: "It's nothing", and then looked out the window intently, at this time it was late, the afterglow of the sunset had dyed the green bamboo in the courtyard orange, and there were a few birdsongs, as well as the whispers of the servants.
It's really a quiet time, but who knows what kind of undercurrent is surging under the cover of such a tranquil surface like an ink painting?
This Gu Mansion is really a good place to hide the dragon and crouching tiger!
Why did she never find out in her previous life?
She smiled secretly in her heart, and stood in front of this window for a long time and was silent, Chen Yu only thought that she needed time to digest the things she heard today and think about her future path, so she didn't bother her.
For a sister-in-law, these truths are indeed a burden that she cannot bear at her age, and no amount of comforting words will pale in comparison.
However, this silence did not last long, Gu Yu spoke, she turned to Chen Yu, and suddenly asked, "Fei, is my twilight pavilion too quiet?" ”
Chen Yu was stunned and said yes.
Gu Yu said again: "In the past, did I only believe in you and Miaowei, and the others in this courtyard didn't know each other?" ”
Chen Yu said yes again.
Gu Yu smiled and suddenly ordered: "Then call them in, let me get to know them!" ”
Chen Yu was surprised: "Lady, those slaves, some of them were given by your mother-in-law Yu, and some were given by the eldest lady, in the past, you didn't even ask for their names, so you sent them to the yard to clean or work in the kitchen, why do you want to know them now?" ”
Gu Yu only said: "There is a saying that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and I think the water is too quiet, so I can't see the fish hidden under the water." ”
Chen Yu thought for a while, and roughly understood the meaning of Gu Yu's words, so she said hello, turned around and opened the door, but Gu Yu's calm appearance as if she had no heart and lungs made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The lady is indeed different from before. That's when she suddenly had this feeling.
When the door opened, but seeing Miaowei hanging her head as if she was about to turn around and go out, Chen Yu called: "Miaowei, when did you come in?" ”
Gu Yu's heart was slightly shocked, but his eyes were cold, and he frowned.
"Just now, concubine, the slave wanted to come and tell the lady that dinner was ready." A faint voice replied from outside the door.
"Did I just say that I have something important to discuss with my wife, and no one can come in and disturb me? Are you eavesdropping on me talking to my lady? Chen Yu's voice said angrily.
Miao Wei confessed repeatedly, but at this moment, Gu Yu's voice came from the bedroom: "Concubine, let her in!" ”
Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Yes!" ”
Miao Wei walked in with her head bowed, her eyes slightly raised and glanced at Gu Yu, but when she saw Gu Yu looking at her, she knelt down and said, "Lady, I didn't eavesdrop, I just ...... I really just wanted to remind the lady just now, because Mrs. Tai sent someone to pass the word, saying that after the lady woke up, she would go to Mrs. Tai's place again. ”
"Mrs. Tai sent someone to pass the word?" Gu Yu questioned, in the past, grandmother would not be so polite when she sent someone to her yard, even if she was still asleep, she would ask someone to pull her up directly from the bed, and even if there was no order from her, the Zhou Concubine under her would be like this, but today is a little weird.
Gu Yu thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, thinking of the Saeki paper that Zhou Yu took from her hand to copy the "Tao Te Ching", when she was writing, she deliberately hid the calligraphy of Wang Yishao that she had learned in her previous life.
Could it be that my grandmother still saw it?
At this time, Chen Yu had already brought all the servants and maids in the courtyard to the hall of the Dusk Smoke Pavilion, waiting for Gu Yu to come out to question.
However, after Gu Yu walked out of the bedroom, he strode towards the outside of the Dusk Smoke Pavilion, and when he went out, he only explained to Concubine Chen: "I still need two personal maids by my side, so I will help me choose two of them!" I'll check back again! ”
Before Gu Yu's words fell, Miaowei's face turned pale, and several rough maidservants standing in the hall all looked at her curiously, and some even did not hide the schadenfreude in their eyes.
Chen Yu hurriedly chased after her, grabbed Gu Yu and said nervously, "Lady, where are you going?" ”
Gu Yu replied: "Grandmother has something to do with me!" ”
After hearing this, Chen Yu immediately showed a worried look on her face, and when she was about to say something, she heard Gu Yu say again: "Don't worry, I will bury my mother's affairs in my heart!" "Even if I save her, I will let her come out of there in the open.
Since it was the sin committed by the Gu family, how could they not be allowed to repent.
After speaking, Gu Yu turned around and stepped forward, leaving Chen Yu standing in the courtyard in a daze.
And a few small mustaches in the courtyard whispered.
"How? I'll just say, Miaowei didn't know where she offended her mother recently, and she fell out of favor! ”
"In the past, relying on the favor of the lady, I always looked above the top, thinking how great I was, but I forgot that I was just a lowly maid in the end."
The ridicule whispered unscrupulously reached Miaowei's ears, so that she ran away in shame for a while, hid in a place and covered her ears and sobbed in a low voice, but after crying for a while, she wiped her tears again and comforted herself: "No, how can I be willing to fall because of the lady's temporary displeasure, she said that no matter what kind of predicament people are in, they must never give up." ”
Thinking like this, she barely squeezed out a smile on her face, turned to the two little mustaches who were still covering their mouths and laughing at her, and said: "In the future, if the sisters are favored by the lady, Ah Wei will have to rely on the care of the sisters, but the lady is hopeful, this twilight pavilion is warm and calm, and the lady doesn't like people who chew the root of their tongue behind their backs." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the two little mustaches immediately stopped talking, lowered their heads and went to their respective jobs.
This scene happened to fall in Chen Yu's eyes.
