Chapter 239: Threats
Gu Dezhao went down to the yamen and came to see her.
Jin Chao gave him a few wrapped tea leaves: "...... It was prepared for you by the third master. ”
Seeing the eldest daughter come back, Gu Dezhao was still very happy. I took the tea leaves and looked left and right: "What kind of tea is this?" ”
Jin Chao said to him, "I don't know this either...... The third master said that it was Emei Xueya. He asked someone to get it from Jiazhou, Sichuan. The tea monks of Buddhism pick the leaf tips of the tea trees on the top of the mountain every year during the Qingming Festival, and the tea trees are planted together with cypress fir and eucommia ulmoides, and they also have medicinal properties, which is very healthy. ”
Gu Dezhao handed the tea to the girl next to him and asked her, "How is Lord Chen treating you?" ”
Jin Chao nodded and said naturally. Gu Dezhao sighed: "It's good to you, and it can be regarded as my father didn't know the wrong person." I'm now a man in the household.,It's idle every day.,Even the two waiters in the household department are polite to me.。 The last time I was debriefing, Mr. Chen left me to say a few more words and instructed me on the management of the warehouse. It's rare that he cares about it...... By the way, my father has something he wants to discuss with you. ”
Do you want to talk about Gu Lan? Gu Jinchao looked at Gu Dezhao.
Gu Dezhao smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid you also know about Gu Lan...... She, alas! I really don't know what to do. How did she do such a thing...... Now I want to be a concubine for Yao Sangongzi, not to mention, the child in the belly is not easy to handle. ”
Gu Jinchao said, "Have you discussed it with your mother?" ”
Gu Dezhao was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "No...... What's wrong? ”
Gu Jinchao told him: "You know, there are some things that you don't handle very well......" Her statement is vague, what kind of person his father is Gu Jinchao knows best, indecisive, wavering, and easily influenced by others. He knew very little about the things in the inner house. This kind of thing, my father should be used to discussing it with Xu Jingyi, at least Xu Jingyi is a very thoughtful person.
She continued: "You can talk to your mother, it's always good to have one more person to figure it out. ”
Gu Dezhao was a little distracted: "Xu's is indeed good...... Gu Xi was sick a few days ago, and she was still undressed. He won't go to Aunt Luo now, either Xu Jingyi's place, or he lives in the front yard by himself. She has done so much for the fourth room, which can be regarded as his respect.
Gu Dezhao talked about Gu Lan again: "...... Tomorrow, someone from the Yao family is coming over, I'll take you to see her first, and have a few words with her. When she heard that you were coming back, she begged to see you a few days ago, and I think she's pitiful now. ”
Gu Jinchao smiled, no matter how Gu Lan grew up in front of his father. The children who grew up in front of him, even if they went too far, still have some affection. The father must have had a complicated heart...... It's just that she no longer has compassion for Gu Lan.
"Then let's go see her." Gu Jinchao stood up, "It just so happened that I also brought some supplements back for her." ”
I asked Qingpu to fetch things like ginseng and cordyceps.
Gu Dezhao took the Jin Dynasty to the East Cross Courtyard.
They entered through a side door next to the transept. It had just gotten dark, and the back room had already been lit with candles. A little girl who had just grown her head was sitting on the steps peeling buckwheat, and two mothers-in-law in coarse cloth clothes were drying clothes. The back house is a bit deserted, and two juniper plants are perfunctory in the flower bed.
A woman wearing a bikina and a silver bracelet came out of the side room, and when she saw the two coming, she hurriedly bowed down and saluted. smiled and said, "The fourth master, the second miss, but came to see the third miss?" ”
The fourth master often came over, but the mother-in-law saw Gu Jinchao for the first time. I heard that it was the young lady who married Chen Ge Lao to continue the string...... She looked up, and sure enough, she was more delicate than flowers, and she was dressed with status and luxury. It's a world of difference compared to the one in the room......
Gu Dezhao nodded, and she stretched out her hand to invite the two of them to go to the hall: "...... This side please. ”
The hall was very damp, and a porcelain-fired statue of Guanyin was enshrined, and from the open fan of the hall to the second room, Jin Chao saw Gu Lan lying on the bed.
She was in a trance for a moment.
Gu Lan's face was pale and boring. I looked straight out the window, as if I hadn't heard anyone come in at all.
…… At the end of her previous life, it was also such a scene.
The little girl who had been guarding the side of the bed immediately went to move the pestle in.
Gu Lan looked really happy, and said to Gu Dezhao, "Father, can you avoid it first?" The daughter wants to talk to the eldest sister. ”
Gu Dezhao moved his lips, and a very tired expression appeared on his face. Stepped over the threshold and went into the courtyard.
Gu Jinchao felt that something was wrong with her...... She sat down beside Gu Lan and looked at her silently.
Gu Lan was wearing a very plain gown, with very slender wrists and a jade bracelet. Her hands were so white that the color made her face so thin that it was only the size of a palm, and her eyes looked even weaker and more pathologically beautiful. Gu Lan also lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes slowly rose, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, look at me...... I'm down like this. Are you high or not? When my mother died...... You say, I'm sure I'm not going to have a good time in the future. Look at the way I look now, I can't even save my own children......"
Gu Jinchao waited for her to finish, and after a long time, he asked her, "Do you regret it?" ”
Gu Lan was a little dazed: "Regret? What do you want to say. She shook her head and said, "I don't regret it, I can't marry Yao Wenxiu, I'm going to marry Zhao Juren's son." It's okay if his son is admitted to the lifter, but what if he doesn't? Their family lives on 300 acres of land and rent, and the two three-entry mansions are still Mrs. Zhao's dowry...... Zhao Juren also has two sons and a daughter, what life should I live with him? Serve him all day long, husband and child, waiting for him to lift me in the middle of the day, can I follow the light? ”
"Eldest sister, you also know that poor couples mourn everything. I don't even have money, so what's the good life......"
Gu Jinchao did not speak. Three hundred acres of land, two three-entry houses, although not rich, but there is definitely a surplus. Gu Lan has been pampered since he was a child, and he rewards his subordinates for a few taels. How do you know how sad it is to pull a copper coin in half?
Gu Lan cried as he spoke, his lips trembled: "I just didn't expect to have children......"
This kid couldn't have come at the right time. When she realized she was pregnant, she was first surprised, then frightened.
What she wanted to hide at the time, she was going to marry into the Yao family, and everything would be fine. But how can this kind of thing be hidden, Feng Shi originally drugged her and wanted to kill her, and if she has a child, she can't live. When Feng locked her up in the small courtyard, he sent her mother-in-law to fill her with saffron, she gritted her teeth desperately, but she still choked on it......
Feng Shi let people pour her three meals a day, and if she drinks like this, the child will definitely not survive.
Gu Lan was reluctant, this was her child! You can't just die.
It's someone who wants to kill her, and if she doesn't resist, she won't have a chance to live! That night, she thought of a countermeasure, covered her mother-in-law to death, and escaped through the side door. When she killed someone, she was also afraid, her hands and feet were cold, and she didn't dare to relax when she held down her mother-in-law, and she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe.
Finally gave her a chance to live!
Now that I see Gu Jinchao, I don't have a chance to live.
She took Jin Chao's hand, her eyes were hazy with tears: "Eldest sister, you haven't been a mother, you don't know this feeling...... I just want to protect him. The people in the family can't wait for this child to die......"
What does it feel like to be a mother...... She was pregnant with Chen Xuanlin in October of that year, but she only raised him personally for a few months, and he was taken to Mrs. Chen to raise him when he was less than a year old. Lin'er cried and wanted to come to her, holding her and refusing to let go, but Gu Jinchao thought that he had scratched his little sticky hand after the candy and soiled his skirt. When Lin'er got older and older, she regretted it, but the child was no longer close to her.
After Mrs. Chen's death, Lin'er was raised by Chen Xuanqing. When he was eight years old, Gu Jinchao secretly went to see him, at a young age, serious, and children who were not accompanied by their parents were always extremely precocious......
Gu Jinchao sighed: "What exactly do you want to say?" Who do you want to show this to? ”
Gu Lan shook his head: "No, eldest sister...... Everyone thinks I'm stupid, making such a big deal and letting the rumors get out, even if the Yao family knows about it, they won't protect the child. I want to wait for you to come back, Gu Lian is about to marry Yao Wenxiu, you will definitely come back! ”
Gu Lan is waiting for her to come back? What exactly does she want to do, does she think she will help her?
Gu Jinchao said softly: "Sister Lan, you must know that I am worthy of you if I did not fall into the well." ”
Gu Lan sighed: "Eldest sister, you still have a handle in my hand." She looked at the juniper tree outside the window and continued, "I wrote a letter to write down the matter between you and Chen Xuanqing. When did you go to see him and what you gave him, you know...... After my accident, Feng dismissed the girl who served me, and I took the opportunity to let Mu Hibiscus leave with the letter...... I told her that if I hadn't sent someone to pick it up after three months, I would ask her to hand it over to someone close to the Chen family...... Of course, I can't tell you who this man is. ”
She smiled, "I know, with my current situation. Even if I want to tell others, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get out of the East Cross Courtyard...... You will definitely not let me go, after all, if such a ugly thing is said, you will not be able to stay in the Chen family. At this point, I just want to be well...... You help me save the child, and I'll tell you where Hibiscus has fled, and you can get the letter back yourself......"
Gu Jinchao's heart jumped and he looked up at Gu Lan.
What happened to her and Chen Xuanqing...... That must never be revealed! What's more, she is now married to Chen Yanyun, which is enough to make him ruined. What would the third master do if he knew that she had liked her son...... Gu Jinchao's hand hidden under his sleeve clenched.
She had done such a thing, and Gu Jinchao couldn't change this fact.
People are terrible, what has not been done can be said to have been done, not to mention that she has really done it!
Gu Jinchao could only make his voice as flat as possible: "You are also smart, these things have been calculated...... I can help you keep the child, but I also have the conditions. Even if the child survives, it is unlikely that you will raise it. Grandmother would not have said yes. Again...... Is there only one letter? What should I do if you have countless demands in the future? It's better to let you release the letter, although the words are terrible, but it has not come true, and I can handle it. ”
She had to be clear and tough. can't let Gu Lan hold her hostage. 1152
