Chapter Eighty-Six: Reflection

"See that material?" The woman rushed to the other side and fell on a luxurious and wealthy woman, who was wearing a navy blue satin robe, "It is the same material as the Jiang Hai family, and it is all the craftsmanship of Wan Xiuzhai." ”

Wan Xiu Zhai, the most famous ready-to-wear shop in Jiankang, has the best and most fashionable clothes, as well as the best needlework, and the clothes made are very popular, and the rich women must have one in their boxes.

"Wan Xiuzhai?" Guo's surprise was revealed, a Wanxiu Zhai dress was enough for the family to spend on the New Year.

Where did they get the money? Could it be that they all pretended to be poor in the past?

Two women in blue robes stood behind Cao, carefully pouring wine over the sharp-eyed cloth vegetables.

Even bought a servant?

Feeling the stares and whispers of the people in the room, Cao Shi was a little restless, and turned his head to look at Gu Bainiang, who was watching the fireworks outside the window with interest.

"Eighteen Niang," her hand subconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes, and the feel of the material once again reminded her of the price of the clothes on her body, "Wouldn't it be too eye-catching?" ”

It was the first time in her life that she wore such good clothes.

"Eye-catching?" Gu Bainiang turned her head, and the black jade pendant crossed a bright light under the lamp, "Mother, we don't hide our poverty, we don't hide our wealth, we live our lives, we don't steal or rob the righteousness, and I'm afraid that others will say it." ”

Her gaze lifted slightly, swept the room with brilliant lights, and once again turned her head outside, where the firecrackers set off in front of the stage of the patriarch's mansion burst into flower-like shapes in the sky, attracting a cheer.

"Besides, what can others do with us." She muttered to herself, a slight smile on her lips.

When the banquet was dispersed, many people deliberately greeted the Cao family, and even the people who had never crossed paths before collided with them with each other, and they all nodded with a smile, so it was much later than when the Cao family walked out of the patriarch's house with Gu Bainiang before.

Gu Hai, who was standing outside the second gate waiting for his mother and sister, was wearing a royal blue and silver white wind wool cotton robe, and once again became the focus of everyone.

The young man stood tall and handsome.

"It's true that people rely on clothes and horses on saddles. . . ." Someone said in a lost voice.

"Look at the style of the people, that shop, people may not be able to look at it at all... Someone else chuckled.

Guo's face was extremely ugly, especially when his eyes fell on his son Gu Long, who was standing next to Gu Hai, who was eating and drinking at home, the injuries on his face were not very good, but he was even more bloated, and the originally high-quality white brocade robe was simply deformed.

"You foodie" Guo Shi walked up to him in a few steps, stretched out his hand and hit him on the arm, and said silently, "Still doing it here?" What about your father and your brothers? ”

She squinted, Gu Hai helped Cao's family, and whispered to let her get into the car, and the mother and son laughed and left, followed closely by the servant woman behind her.

"Get in the car a few steps away, thinking that you have a lot of money," Guo muttered angrily, pulling Gu Long to leave.

"Mother, mother, there is a big thing, there is a big thing... Gu Long didn't pay attention to what his mother was saying, grabbed her arm with his backhand, and shouted at a glance.

"Look at your appearance in a big event, do you have a bit of the momentum of your son?" Guo Shi glared at him and scolded.

At this time, Cao, who was in the scooter, was also listening to his son say this.

The two servants pulled the car in front, not in a hurry or slowly, Gu Bainiang followed Gu Hai's side, looking up to see the fireworks bursting in the night sky, while listening to her brother's words.

"Big deal?" She turned her face to look at Gu Hai, smelled the faint smell of wine on the young man's body, and hurriedly wrinkled her nose, "Brother, eat less wine." ”

Gu Hai smiled and tugged at his sister's hanging braid, "I just ate a cup, it's just a taste of others." ”

"Big things you say?" Cao Shi asked him through the curtain, and a little panic flashed on his face.

According to her previous habits, this time out, she will never take the car, but thinking of the events of the past few days, she is always a little scared, always want to hide alone, but whenever someone looks at her twice, she can't help but feel her heart beat red, if someone says, she... How can I live? . . .

"The third grandmother wants to have a stepchild." Gu Hai said.

"That's as it should be, she's still so young... Cao Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and the woman's description appeared in front of him, and she was beaming, she sat alone, looking extremely lonely, a person who was not yet thirty years old, and this life was still very long.

"Guess who?" Gu Hai said, looking at Gu Banniang meaningfully.

Gu Bainiang was looked at by him, and there was a thud in her head.

"Gu Yu?" She lost her voice.

Gu Hai nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yes, it is Gu Yu, this lowly boy who has only existed in the after-dinner gossip with everyone for more than ten years, is going to become the son of the third grandmother with the highest rank in the clan。。。。。

Isn't that funny?

"This is simply ridiculous" Guo Shi stood up in a gaffe and threw away the white cat that was lying on his lap, "This can't be that..." ”

The she has never seen with her eyes will become her elder in the future?

"Cheap seed" Gu Leshan was very unhappy, that was his species

"It's a good thing that you speak carefully," he said in an accentuated tone, his face unspeakably joyful, "who is that?" It's the third grandmother who has passed the third grandmother, Huang Shiying"

Guo Shi obviously recognized this key as well, and she sat down gasping for breath, and the white cat wandered around under the chair, but this time she didn't jump up.

"Do you know that the third grandmother is so respected at home?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

"Do you know why even the patriarch doesn't dare to offend her?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

"She's a young widow, who, within a few years of her entry, has beaten the women who have kept the feast for forty or fifty years for her place in the family?"

Gu Leshan said, looking at Guo meaningfully.

Guo pursed her lips, she knew that there was a rumor that had been privately circulated for a long time, but no one had ever confirmed it, and there was no chance to confirm it.

"The Huang family in Bianjing, that is the family of the prime minister and queen in the previous dynasty, although the scenery in our dynasty is not as good as before, but the emaciated camel is 。。。。。 bigger than the horse" Gu Leshan said with a smile, "No one knows how much money their family has... ”

"The third grandmother is really rich?" Guo Shi couldn't help but stand up again, and asked in a dry voice clutching his cuffs.

Everyone said that the third grandmother was very rich, a lot of money, and a lot of money could buy all the shops of the entire Gu family。。。。。。

Money is so important that even the patriarch has to be careful to provide for her, this is the God of Wealth.

Gu Leshan's smiling eyes were gone, and he was silent.

"That... Then we have a lot of children, which one is cheap... Boy go? Guo Shi only felt that his throat was dry, and he gasped and said.

"How do I know, the third grandmother of the family said, I looked for the master of Xinglong Temple, there are so many children in the family, he is suitable." Gu Leshan said, his face was beautiful, he couldn't help but look at the child twice, I don't know if I don't look at it, this child is really good, well, it's not his Gu Leshan's son。。。。。

"Which..." Guo Shi was sluggish for a moment, and reluctantly remembered that the child called, "Gu Yu, I always feel bad... ”

How did this child come over all these years, she knew in her heart, once such a person got this great opportunity, don't...

"I'm afraid, no matter what I say, he is also my son." Gu Leshan snorted and laughed happily.

After all, that woman is just a woman, widowed and unrelated, and the succession is not to find a dependency in the future.

"I haven't officially said it yet," Gu Leshan laughed to himself for a while, and then hurriedly instructed Guo Shi, "That kid, you have been careful these days, how much to train, don't shrink back too much." ”

"I know, I still need to say it." Guo glanced at him, finally sat down with peace of mind, and suddenly stood up violently, "Master, you said, should it be our family's turn for the next patriarch。。。。。 ”

Her face burst with brilliance, and the thought of making her breath harder, O Chief, God, the thought of all the women of the clan bowing respectfully before her made her tickle just to think about her.

Gu Leshan coughed, obviously he was much calmer than this woman.

"Nonsense," his eyes were full of smiles, "It's the most important thing to get this matter done first, but you have to be careful, you don't know, there are more people in the clan who have passed on the third grandmother, who doesn't have their own little Jiujiu... ”

"I know" Guo glared at her husband, she already knew about this kind of thing, and she used him to tell her.

She let out a sigh of relief, and the stuffiness that had been stuck in her chest tonight was swept away.

"Master, have you seen it today, that house, the person wearing it looks human, that arrogant look... She leaned back in her chair and squinted her eyes, and the old cat below understood that this was a hint of comfort from her mistress, and immediately jumped up without hesitation, spun around in her mistress's arms, and lay down to snore.

This Gu Leshan didn't care, and hummed casually.

"I think it's just to earn face in front of us, slap a swollen face and act like this," Guo snorted, "There are seven or eight banquets in a year, I think she can pretend to be a few days."

After the New Year, the busyness of the previous year has come to an end, and the beginning of thorough leisure, busy death before the year, idle death after the new year, has always been this rule.

Thin snowflakes flutter in the plum garden, setting off the place like a fairyland.

"It's coming, it's coming..." The two little girls ran into the flower hall and said.

The women who were playing cards around the warm table suddenly stood up and looked out in unison.

Through the blooming plum blossoms, Cao's family, who was wearing a big roasted blue wool cloak, walked slowly and revealed the cyan cotton jacket sprinkled with yellow wax plum blossoms he was wearing, a moon-white small stand-up collar jacket, and a dark blue embroidered cotton skirt, because it was snowing today, and a servant woman beside him was also holding an umbrella.

"Look, I'll just say I'm sure I've changed my clothes again," a woman immediately clapped her hands and laughed, and stretched out her hand to the others, "Take the money, take the money, and be willing to lose the gamble." ”

The other women were excited, and reluctantly took a few silver nudes out of their purses and stuffed them into the woman.

"I've given you a red envelope." They chuckled.

There was a burst of laughter in the flower hall, and Cao, who was walking outside, heard it, and his steps were a little hesitant.

"Mother, go sit inside, you've been walking for a while, it's too early to leave the table." Gu Bainiang turned out from behind her with an umbrella and said with a smile.

I was going to accompany my daughter to see plum blossoms. Cao hesitated, but the women in the flower hall saw it and immediately stretched out their hands to greet her.

"Big sister, big sister, come on, it's warm here."

Seeing their kind demeanor, Cao finally put away his care.

"Go, my mother has been gone for a long time, go and rest." Gu Bainiang smiled, "I'll go to my brother to watch the plum blossoms together." ”

"Then don't walk around, don't freeze, wear a hat, don't be greedy for the cold。。。。。" Cao Shi hurriedly instructed, Gu Bainiang smiled at her, turned her head and walked into the plum blossom bush.

After Gu Bainiang walked out of Cao's sight, her pace slowed down, and the slow snow spread around her with the fragrance of plum blossoms, and at this time she put away her shallow smile and returned to a calm and waveless expression.

Enjoying the flowers and laughing, always a little away from her.

Merlin is scattered, you can hear the voices of people, but you can't see people, and it is extremely quiet to walk through it.

Gu Yu was actually succeeded by the third grandmother Huang Shiying, this news has been confirmed, and the He family is in shock.

Gu Bainiang was even more shocked, because this was completely contrary to what she knew, and in that life, no such thing had happened at all.

After being reborn, although fate seems to be still following the established route, there are many things that have indeed changed, such as she learned to make medicine, and got a lone medicine book, which was mistaken for Liu Gong's disciple, so that she earned money that she never thought of, her family background completely changed, and her brother also studied seriously, and the future was gratifying, these are things that have never happened in memory.

There are clouds in the book, which affect the whole body, it seems that his fate has changed, and he has inadvertently affected the fate of others, or is this exactly the arrangement of fate?

Gu Bainiang's expression froze, and when she stopped, the crisp sound of branches breaking sounded.

By the way, Gu Yu entered the academy in his life, but now he still hasn't entered the academy? The only difference is 。。。。。

Gu Bainiang's heart was Ling, could it be because of her brother Gu Hai?

That day, Gu Yu's words sounded in his ears again.

"In his speech, he was extremely disdainful of his brother, and he was deeply resentful, and seemed to feel that his brother was not worthy of entering the school at all。。。。。" Gu Bainiang muttered to herself, and walked again, "My brother described, Gu Long repeatedly targeted him, stirred up all kinds of incidents, and also revealed in his words that he disliked him for occupying the school quota, according to his mother, the school quota is divided among each family, if my brother does not go to study, then this quota will naturally belong to Gu Leshan's family, so 。。。。。。 ”

She stopped again, looked up, snow flakes brushing her cheeks with petals, and her heart suddenly cleared.

From this point of view, in that life, Gu Yu took up his brother's quota and entered the academy, but now he has changed all this, so he did not enter the academy.

Now that Gu Yu has been succeeded by the third grandmother, there is naturally no obstacle to entering the school, so this should be a special arrangement of fate.

Gu Banniang exhaled deeply, and then inhaled cold air.

All this happened in order to deal with the fact that his brother was not as tired of school and decadence as he was in his previous life, will this Gu Yu be like the death of the old patriarch, just to force them to return to their established destiny?

A return to a predetermined destiny? My brother was kicked out of school because he was tired of school? Spread rumors to slander Cao's reputation, Cao's will still die, and his brother will go to avenge and be imprisoned?

A thick smile appeared on Gu Banniang's face, put down the umbrella, and let the wind and snow surround her.

Then let's try it, I, Gu Banniang, will never back down, whether you are amazing or ghosts and gods

A drunken laugh suddenly sounded on the side, interrupting Gu Bainiang's contemplation.

She raised her eyes and found that she unconsciously walked to the northeast corner of the plum garden, where there was a small pool, piled up the mountain stones transported from Huguang, and built a small pavilion with four corners flying on the mountain stones, which was called "drunk and lying".

She was standing under the rocks, the waterhole beneath her feet covered with a layer of ice, covered with snow and flying plum petals.

The two figures staggered over from the merlin on the other side, and Gu Bainiang was blocked by the mountain stone just right, so she could see the person who came very clearly, but the person who came couldn't see her.

"Gu Baoquan" Gu Bainiang's eyes widened violently, looking at the people who were getting closer and closer, her eyes narrowed again.

...
