Chapter 4: Rebirth
Regaining consciousness again, Gu Changqing found himself lying on the bed, surrounded by darkness, and he didn't know where it was.
There is a familiar scent of aromatic essential oils in the air. It was her favorite lavender, which had a sleeping effect and had been using it at night since her mother's death when she was 12 years old.
She got up, her eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, she found herself lying on a mahogany bed hung with a light gauze tent, doubts rose in her heart, she stretched out her hand and touched the bedpost, there were obvious marks of engraving on the bedpost, carefully identify, it was three words that she was familiar with, Gu Changqing.
There seemed to be a gentle voice from her mother Gu Linglong in her ears: "Changqing, this wooden bed is an antique from the Ming Dynasty, and it was your grandfather's favorite when he was alive, and my mother herself was reluctant to sleep for you to sleep, you see that you are a naughty girl, and you actually carved words on it!" Be careful of your grandfather's knowledge, and teach you a lesson in your dreams! ”
She was only ten years old and smiled: "No, grandpa loves me the most, grandpa won't blame me, I want to carve my name on the bed, no matter who sleeps on this bed in the future, he will know that this bed once belonged to a person named Gu Changqing!" ”
"Silly boy, you have these weird ideas!" She seemed to see her mother smiling and stretching out her hand to touch her head, Gu Changqing couldn't help but reach out, but as soon as she touched her mother's hand, her mother's phantom burst like a bubble.
Gu Changqing's nose was sour and he burst into tears.
Mom......
She wiped away her tears, shrunk her nose, got out of bed, and looked at the room with wide eyes, the furnishings faintly visible in the darkness.
A Suzhou embroidered screen embroidered with a picture of a lady in front of the bed, a round wooden table in front of the screen, and a variety of antique items are placed on the wooden frame against the wall on the right......
Gu Changqing rubbed his eyes, a little unable to believe what he was seeing in front of him.
Her breathing was suddenly a little rapid, and she turned around, walked to the wall, and familiarly felt for the switch, and pressed it.
The room suddenly lit up.
Gu Changqing raised his head and looked at the octagonal palace lamp on the roof, which hung down long spikes, and then looked at the familiar and unfamiliar furnishings in the room, and screamed softly in surprise.
The reason why it is familiar is because this is the place where she has lived since she was born, the old house of the Gu family. This is her room and she has lived here for 14 years!
And strangely, how could she still be here? The next year, the Gu family's old house caught fire, and the antiques that my grandfather had spent a lifetime collecting were burned down. Later, my father spent money to hire someone to restore the Gu family's old mansion to its original state, so he won the favor of many old Gu courtiers, and they all said that he was a person who missed the old love. But all the antiques in it will never be recovered.
Even so, how could she still be here, sleeping on that antique bed of mahogany that had been reduced to ashes?
And, isn't she dead? And how did it end up here? Is this paradise?
Gu Changqing couldn't figure it out for a while, and his mind was in a mess.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Gu Changqing looked at the door, and a slightly hoarse voice with a Hunan accent came from outside the door: "Miss, are you awake?" ”
Gu Changqing looked at the door in a daze, and his heart jumped twice
Is that...... It was Rong's mother's voice......
But didn't Rong's mother suddenly have a heart attack and die when she was 15 years old?
She stared intently at the doorway, as if she wanted to penetrate it.
As soon as the sound outside the door fell, the door was pushed open from the outside, and then an old woman in her sixties dressed in white and black pants walked in.
Short and chubby in stature, with a round face, and eyes that narrow into a line when you smile.
"Miss, I heard a noise outside the door, am I hungry? Is it okay for Rong's mother to make you a supper? ”
Gu Changqing looked at her smiling face, listening to this voice that seemed to be deeply rooted in her memory, tears popped out all of a sudden, and she walked towards Rong's mother, "Rong's mother...... Mother Rong......"
There was a warm embrace, the gentlest hands, and the most kind voice, and her heart was filled with endless grievances, and she wanted to throw herself into that embrace and cry bitterly.
Is it a dream or a paradise? Whatever it is, please keep her here, she needs this warmth, she doesn't think about those terrible things......
When Mother Rong saw Gu Changqing's tears, her face wrinkled suddenly, and the layers of wrinkles told her distress, "My little miss, why are you crying?" Is it a nightmare? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mother Rong is here. ”
Rong's mother opened her arms and took her into her arms.
Gu Changqing leaned into her soft embrace, smelling the familiar smell of soap, and couldn't stop crying
It's really Rong's mother, only Rong's mother still likes to use this ** soap to wash clothes.
Mother Rong patted her back and comforted her softly, "Miss, don't be afraid, although the stepmother will enter the door soon, but Mother Rong will definitely protect Miss." ”
Gu Changqing, who was crying to himself, heard the word "stepmother", trembled violently, raised his head, and looked at Rong's mother.
"Stepmother...... Entering ......"
Rong's mother took out a handkerchief from her pocket and gently helped Gu Changqing wipe away her tears, her movements were gentle, her eyes were full of pity, "Evil (Hunan dialect), the mother has been dead for a long time, and the mother is about to enter the door, I see that although Miss Qiu looks very kind, but those eyes are restless at a glance, I don't like her." ”
Gu Changqing looked at Rong Ma in a daze, and couldn't react for a while.
Seeing her stunned appearance, Mother Rong thought that she was worried about this matter, and she was distressed, she sighed, pushed Gu Changqing towards the mahogany antique bed, and said as she walked: "Miss, don't worry, no matter what, you are the only bloodline of the Gu family, and no one can bully you." Don't think about it so much, rest easy, it's going to rain, your mother is going to get married, your father is going to marry the queen lady is not something you can manage, sleep well! ”
Gu Changqing was passively pushed away by Rong's mother, and his mind was in a mess.
What's going on? What happened?
When passing by the mahogany closet, her eyes glanced at her casually, and then, with a huge shock in her heart, she broke free of Rong's mother's hand and rushed to the mirror of the large wardrobe
Her image is clearly visible in the bright mirror
The face of a small melon seed, the skin is tender and fair, there are no freckles that cannot be eliminated no matter how expensive cosmetics are, the eyes are clear and bright, with a look that has not been seen before, and the vertical long hair of the shawl, the hair is like silk satin, and there is no dullness caused by constant perming and dyeing.
The body has not fully grown up, and it is slightly immature, but the slender figure has shown a graceful state.
This is obviously what I looked like when I was fourteen or fifteen years old!
Gu Changqing looked at himself in the mirror, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.
An idea popped into her head, and it excited her, it made her excited! She stretched out her arm to her mouth and bit it hard, a sharp pain spread all over her body, and she screamed, but the pain made her heart beat wildly.
Everything is real, not a dream, not a paradise!
Mother Rong next to her was startled: "Miss, why are you biting yourself, it's all bleeding!" She pulled Gu Changqing's arm and carefully examined the injury.
Gu Changqing didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at this time, she couldn't wait to ask Rong's mother, "Rong's mother, you are 65 years old this year, right?" ”
Rong's mother raised her head and smiled: "Miss remembers very clearly." ”
Gu Changqing was excited, she looked at Rong's mother, and then turned her head to the left, there was an incense case in a place she was familiar with, and the portrait of her mother Gu Linglong was placed on the case, and a bronze incense burner was placed in front of the statue, and a handful of incense was inserted in the incense burner.
Gradually, she came to understand the fact that something that only appeared in fiction was actually happening to her today
She was reborn, back to ten years ago!
That year, she was fourteen years old!
That year, her mother had just passed away for two years!
That year, stepmother Qiu Wanyi married Kong Qingxiang!
Her chaotic mind became clear in an instant, and her beating heart gradually returned to calm.
In the ward, every word, sneer, and expression of Qiu Wanyi, Kong Yufen, and Kong Qingxiang appeared in front of her eyes very clearly, echoing in her ears, like a sharp long needle, piercing into her heart minute by minute.
Gu Changqing lowered his head and slowly clenched his fists, his whole body trembling slightly.
This must be the opportunity given to her by God, since everything can be done again, then......
I want justice for my mother and for myself!
I'm going to give everything I have!
I'm going to knock you back one by one!
I will give you all the pain I have suffered!
"Miss, wait a minute, I'll help you get some medicine to wipe it, it's hot now, it's easy to get inflamed." Mother Rong helped Gu Changqing to the bed and sat down, turned around and went to the cabinet to take out the medicine box.
Gu Changqing looked at Rong's mother's chubby back, and her heart full of resentment gradually softened,
And also...... I also want to protect all those who care about me and those I care about, and I will let them live in peace and happiness......
