Gu Qiniang was still secretly unhappy with the words "stand out" given by Yu to Gu Yu, and when she heard Yu ask about falling into the water, she also came to her senses.

"Mother, I think this matter must be related to Thirteen Niang." Gu Qiniang said.

Yu Shi looked at her.

Just listen to her: "Mother, Thirteen Niang has never liked Eleven Niang, and has admiration for her cousin of the Zhang family, and Zhang Jialangjun is friendly with Shi Niang and Eleven Niang, Thirteen Niang often compete for favor and jealousy because of Zhang Jialangjun's gifts to the sisters, this time the scholar banquet is also because Zhang Jialangjun painted a picture, Thirteen Niang provoked an incident, and I don't know what to say to the tenth sister, Shi Niang will be so angry that he will run to the Jinlu Pond alone, and will quarrel with Eleven Niang, and then fall into the water together. ”

"Shi Niang was angry to the edge of the brocade scale pool, how could she meet Eleven Niang?" Yu's question made Gu Qiniang stunned.

"How do I know? Maybe Shi Niang just knew that Shi Niang was by the Jinlu Pond, so she ran there. Unable to find a good reason, Gu Qiniang prevaricated with this sentence.

About the banquet of scholars and girls, some of the little ladies happened, Yu also heard about it, but he didn't know it, let alone see it in person, afterwards, Mrs. Gu also killed a few servants and maids, and since then the servants have been silent and dare not mention it again.

The only one who dares to mention is the arrogant thirteen ladies in the big room! How could a nine-year-old lady be so scheming? Still is...... Is this the work of "that person"?

Seeing that the Yu clan was stunned, Gu Qiniang said again: "A-Niang, what are you thinking, don't you still believe what I said?" Don't look at the young age of Thirteen Niang, the younger she is, the more she is favored and unscrupulous, when the tenth sister and the eleventh sister fell into the water, although I didn't see it in the pavilion, but after the incident, she was the first to rush to the edge of the Jinlan Pond, isn't this enough to show her ......"

Yu's eyes were suspicious, he looked out the window, and motioned for Gu Qiniang to shut up.

Gu Qiniang stopped talking, and the room was silent for a moment.

"Shicai Eleven Niang has a good saying, a gentleman has nine thoughts, and without real evidence, he can't make a conclusion." Yu Shi looked out the window and said to Gu Qi Niang, "You have to remember this sentence!" After a pause, he said solemnly, "You also go and copy the Analects and the Zhuangzi ten times!" ”

Gu Qiniang's eyes widened in surprise, and she was unconvinced: "A-Niang, why are you punishing me?" ”

"As the concubine of the Gu family, my daughter, her words and deeds are not as good as her own sister-in-law, shouldn't she be punished?" Yu said.

It is rare to see such an angry look on her mother's face, Gu Qiniang looked stunned, slightly embarrassed and timid, and then reluctantly curtsied and said, "Yes, mother, daughter remember!" ”

Different from the calm and calm of Yu's mother and daughter, the Qixia Courtyard where Gu Shisanniang is located is not so calm, because after being trained, there is nowhere to vent with a breath of anger in her chest, Gu Shisanniang raised her foot a few times, and kicked a few embroidery piers far away.

Several maidservants hurriedly straightened the embroidered furniture she kicked over, and just straightened up, before they could breathe, they heard Gu Sanniang shout: "I'm dying of thirst, isn't there even tea in this Qixia courtyard?" ”

This shout, the few maids who were already trembling and trembling did not dare to make a sound, you look at me, I see your bet, no one wants to take the first step, or a servant girl standing at the front couldn't resist the pressure, and hurriedly poured a glass of water and sent it to Gu Sanniang tremblingly.

Gu Sanniang took the head and drank it all, the maid was stunned, as a servant, if the words and deeds of the masters were even a small action that was not in accordance with the rules, they would be severely punished.

The maidservant wanted to persuade, but before she could spit out a word, she heard a "poof" sound, and her face was hot, but she was sprayed with tea.

"What kind of tea is this, it's unpalatable to death, I raised you, is it just to let you make such an unpalatable tea to perfunctory me?" Gu Sanniang shouted, and then pointed out the door, "Why don't you go and check for me, what is that doing now?" ”

After she finished speaking, several handmaids answered yes again and again, and when they were about to go out, the door opened.

Zhang walked in with a few old servants.

"Thirteen Niang, what are you doing again?" At this time, the Zhang family did not have the gentleness and kindness in the Yixin Hall, and his face was full of harshness and anger that hated iron and steel.

Gu Sanniang didn't care at all, and still said angrily: "Mother, I don't understand, she's just a daughter, why are you speaking for her?" Isn't it, are you still afraid that she won't succeed? ”

Zhang's face was stunned, his eyes were a little wandering and heavy, afraid of her? No, she wasn't afraid of her, but the face...... It's so much like ......

"Thirteen Niang, how many times has my mother told you, even if she is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the Gu family, how can you, as the concubine of the Gu family, be so ungraceful?" Zhang scolded sharply, "This matter is over, don't mess around anymore!" ”

"But mother, I want Ke Tingdi, I want Ke Tingdi that she cheated from her cousin of the Zhang family." Gu Sanniang didn't give up, "As long as you ask me for Ke Tingdi from her, I won't make trouble again in the future." ”

"Are you threatening your mother?" Zhang said with a cold face and raised his eyebrows.

Gu Sanniang shrank back at this time.

"Ah Yan doesn't dare." She bowed her head and said, but she still didn't want to give up, "But, mother, ......"

Zhang interrupted her: "That's it, whether Ke Tingdi is in her hands or not, mother still doesn't know, even if it is, you can't ask for it in the future, Ayan, mother has to let you know that people live in the world, not you can get what you want, sometimes, people also have to know how to give up, blindly taking, will always make you taste the pain of not being able to ask for it." It's just Ke Tingdi today, and I don't know what it will be in the future......"

At the end, Zhang's tone was quiet, and there was still some lingering amazement.

Gu Sanniang became more and more stunned, frowning: "Mother, I don't understand what you're talking about?" ”

Zhang glanced at his daughter, sighed, but didn't say more, and when he turned to go out, he instructed an old servant: "Look at this courtyard, if she doesn't know how to reflect, she will never let her go out again, otherwise if something happens again, everyone in this courtyard will have to be sold!" ”

The servants said yes again and again.

Zhang walked out, followed by several servants.

After a few people walked along the verandah, through the hall, through the moon cave door, and walked out of the courtyard, the Zhang family stopped, glanced back at the courtyard where his daughter was, and couldn't help but sigh: "How did I, Zhang Shuyi, give birth to such a daughter, compared to her, it is really far behind!" ”

The servants looked at her helplessly and implicitly sentimental, and their hearts were also worried and melancholy, and they hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, the thirteen mothers are still young, and the house has invited the master to teach, and the thirteen ladies will definitely change their temperament in the future, besides, isn't there still a little Langjun in the madam?" ”

At the mention of Xiao Langjun, Zhang's face finally had a smile of relief, but this smile did not last long, and it turned into a wisp of melancholy.

"Mothers always want their children to be excellent." Zhang sighed, held the fan, and walked forward slowly.

A group of servants and maids followed closely again, a few people walked through a bamboo forest, walked up to the corridor, and the rockery and blue pond passed by, and after walking only a few steps, they saw Zhang stop.

At this time, the moon has risen, and the water in the pond is sparkling, as if the stars are shining, and there is a roar of yo yo deer at night.

Zhang suddenly asked: "The Yu family punished that sister-in-law to kneel and serve in the hall?" ”

"Yes!" The servant woman replied, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly added, "And the sister-in-law was unexpectedly very obedient, and went to kneel without saying a word." ”

Zhang frowned, nodded and said, "Okay, I know." After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and ordered, "In the evening, make some exquisite food and send it to the serving hall!" Also, send someone to watch her well! ”

"Yes!"
