Chapter Thirty-Seven: Aunt Returns to Beijing
The birthday of the British Duke is on the 10th day of the second month.
The Gu family had already prepared for the birthday ceremony early, and got up early on this day, but unfortunately Ling Song fell his leg due to a slippery road two days ago and couldn't go over together. Gu didn't take him to heart now, and only took a pair of children back to the British mansion.
The ancestor of the British Mansion was also born as a military general, and the two extremely powerful stone lions, tigers and tigers in front of the mansion were formidable, which was daunting.
The Gu family and the others arrived very early, and the wife of the prince, Liu, was already standing at the Yimen with a group of female dependents waiting. The Liu family was born in the Jiangnan family, and it was the main family that the British duchess personally selected for her son. Needless to say, the temperament is excellent, gentle but not weak, the action is hidden in the needle, only wearing a crimson gold sprinkled Ruyi skirt, the bun is pulled high, although the gold and silver are inserted, but there is no tackiness, only standing quietly in front of the door, it is full of everyone's demeanor.
Seeing that the Gu family got out of the car with Ling Miao's men, the Liu family stepped forward and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for my sister to arrive for a long time." ”
Although Gu's temper is upright, he is not difficult to make people, so he has a very good relationship with the Liu family when he is not out of the cabinet. I haven't seen the Liu family for a long time, and I feel intimate, so I let go of Ling Miao and grabbed the Liu family: "Sister-in-law has worked hard." ”
Ling Miao also stepped forward to see the Liu family.
For this niece, Liu has never liked it very much. Unlike Ling Su's gentleness and softness, Ling Miao seemed withdrawn and rampant, and even if there was a mistake, no one was allowed to say a word. The Liu family's mother's family is a scholarly family, and it is natural to be strict with the teaching of their children, and they can't see Ling Miao's behavior.
Gu knew in his heart that in the past, the sister-in-law had a deep prejudice against Ling Miao. This impression alone is not something that can be changed in a moment. She only hoped that the Liu family could focus more on Ling Miao today, so that she would definitely find that her daughter was very different from before.
"Ah Miao seems to have grown up a lot, look at this appearance, it's really like a fairy."
Behind the Liu family, a beautiful woman dressed in bright red clothes and combing a flying fairy bun stepped forward with a smile, and only pulled Ling Miao up and down for a while before saying to the Gu family: "It's a blessing to have such a daughter like a jade girl, my sister is really blessed." Alas, in this comparison, my two girls have become ornaments. ”
The person who spoke was Yao, the wife of Gu Rubai, the second son of the British father.
Gu Rubai is a concubine, and he is only less than a year younger than the British prince. Because the biological mother Zhou is the childhood sweetheart of the British princess, Gu Rubai's house is quite favored in the Guogong Mansion, and there is even a faint posture that wants to overwhelm the concubine.
Yao's is the wife chosen by the British public for Gu Rubai, unlike the Liu family, who was born in the Qingliu family, Yao's is a real noblewoman, and today's Nanyang Bo is Yao's own brother.
As a descendant, the Gu family naturally didn't have a good face for the Yao family, and only said lightly: "Mingqiu Mingyan is also a good child." ”
Yao didn't care about her coldness, and still pulled Ling Miao to ask for warmth in a loud voice.
"Okay, don't stand at the door, mother has been waiting for a long time, let's go see mother first."
Gu shook his head, took Ling Miao's hand and walked inside. Yao felt that he had been ignored, and a trace of displeasure flashed on Mingli's face, and then he changed to a smiling face and followed.
The regulation of the British government is naturally much larger than that of the Marquis of Wuding, and the pavilions and pavilions everywhere are more ingenious. Although it is still winter and the weather is very cold, the flowers and trees in the house are cut into the shape of leaves and flowers with various colored silks, and they stick to the branches.
"It's too luxurious." Gu said in a low voice.
The British government is no longer the British government of the past, relying on the small achievements of the ancestors to act wantonly, for fear that it will lead to trouble.
Gu Shi thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say this.
"Well, what my sister said wasn't it?" Liu walked beside the Gu family, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Only the one from the Hou Mansion in Pingnan sent a letter, only saying that his father was fifty years old, and half a hundred was counted, but he couldn't act hastily." Isn't this an idea, so that the life in the house has been busy for two or three months, and it has not been good for many years. ”
When Gu Shi heard this, his complexion changed, his beautiful phoenix eyes were covered with frost, and he sneered: "She is the only good daughter in the world, and we are all grass mustards." ”
The one in the Liu family's mouth in the Pingnanhou Mansion is Gu Zhenzhen, the concubine of the British duke. Gu Zhenzhen and Gu Rubai are the same mother, they have been born with the beauty of the country since they were children, and they can speak at the age of one, poetry at the age of three, and are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when they grow up. Literary and agile, not allowing men, once had the reputation of the first talented woman in Beijing.
With such a younger sister, it is naturally even more coarse and leafy for the Gu family.
The British prince was very fond of Gu Zhenzhen, and once wanted to marry Gu Zhenzhen to Ling Song, a well-known genius in Beijing back then. It's just that Gu Zhenzhen is arrogant, and he doesn't look down on a white-faced son like Ling Song, and after a cry, this marriage fell on Gu's head.
It can be said that the unhappiness of Gu's marriage was all caused by the British Duke and Gu Zhenzhen.
"Hengzhu, she is not in the capital now, and she may not see her twice in her life. If my sister has anything, let it go. The Liu clan appeased the Gu clan.
Ling Miao on the side had already learned about the grievances between the Gu family and Gu Zhenzhen from Jin'er, and she didn't feel confused when she listened to the gossip at this time. It's just that she is really curious about Gu Zhenzhen, her aunt.
The descendants of the Dafeng Dynasty are very distinct. What kind of woman is she who can be so smart and versatile that most of the young children in Beijing are crazy about her?
I don't know when she will be able to meet this former talented aunt.
As he spoke, he arrived at the Yunshui Pavilion where the British Duchess was.
"Mother!" Although they are all in Beijing, the Gu family has rarely gone out in recent years, and he has always had a grudge against the British government, so naturally he has even fewer doors. At this time, seeing that the British duchess was a little older than the last time she saw her, Gu's heart was sour, and she rushed forward to salute.
When the British duchess saw her daughter, she almost burst into tears, and hurriedly called Liu: "Help your sister up!" ”
"You child, if it weren't for your father's birthday, wouldn't you have come to the door?" The British duchess took Gu's hand and said with tears in her eyes.
Gu lowered his head and said softly: "It's the daughter who is not filial." ”
Back then, she could actually not get married. The British Duke was rescued by the old Marquis Wuding, and if he wants to repay the grace of saving his life, what method can't he use? At that time, the British Duke wanted to find a good marriage for his beloved concubine, thinking that the upstart of the Wuding Marquis Mansion was more sacred than the British Mansion, and the Hou Mansion was one layer different from the Duke Mansion after all, if Gu Zhenzhen married in the past, it would be a low marriage, and he would naturally be able to straighten his back in the future and not be bullied by his in-laws. It's a pity that he has a fatherly heart, and Gu Zhenzhen is completely unwilling. The marriage contract between the two families was originally a verbal talk, and the old Marquis Wuding didn't want to let his son marry a noble daughter of the family, if Gu Zhenzhen really didn't want to, he just said it. It's just that the British public loves face, and he can't pull this face, and Gu Zhenzhen has a pruning, so he married his daughter-in-law.
And in order to keep her son's position as the son, the British duchess could only wronged her daughter.
Although he felt guilty and stuffed a lot of things into Gu's dowry, Gu's unhappy marriage in his life was also caused by this.
Gu had a grudge in her heart, and she couldn't tell whether she resented her father's ruthlessness and unrighteousness, her mother's weakness and partiality, or whether she should resent Gu Zhenzhen's viciousness.
Seeing that the atmosphere was sad, Ling Miao stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the British duchess, and only said, "Say hello to my grandmother." ”
The British duchess saw the girl kneeling at the bottom with picturesque eyebrows, and her smile was actually bright and gorgeous that people could not look at, and a little cinnabar mole in the center of her eyebrows made her very stunning and charming.
"Good boy, get up!" The British Duchess nodded and smiled at Ling Miao, "Come and sit at Grandmother's side." ”
At this time, there were no female dependents from other houses in Yunshui Pavilion, so the British duchess asked Gu and Ling Miao to be on her side.
"Mother is so lively here, I finally didn't miss it."
Suddenly, a seductive voice came from outside.
Ling Miao was okay, and the rest of the people all changed their faces when they heard this voice. Especially Gu's bright face showed undisguised anger.
With the voice, a beautiful woman in brocade walked in. This beauty looks only in her early twenties, her complexion is like snow, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are horizontal, her eyes are full of anticipation, and her smile seems to contain a bewitching person that cannot be ignored.
It is Gu's old rival, Gu Zhenzhen.
Gu believes that if the second room and one vein are without Gu Zhenzhen, I am afraid that it will stop.
"I thought I was rushing into the city overnight early enough, but I didn't expect my eldest sister to be even earlier than me." Gu Zhenzhen stretched out his hand, his red-colored cardamom fingers swept over the sideburns, and smiled helplessly, "In the end, the eldest sister is married in the capital." ”
Gu's beautiful scenery is the most unaccustomed to Gu Zhenzhen's pretense. Listening to her speak, she was about to have a seizure, but Don't Ling Miao lightly touched her feet. Gu Shi came to his senses, for people like Gu Zhenzhen, whose hearts are higher than the sky, the more you pay attention to them, the more they will be happy. It's just that no one pays attention to it, and these people are all right.
"Back then, you also had the opportunity to stay in the capital." Gu lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, gently plucked the tea with the lid of the cup, and suddenly raised his eyes to see Gu Zhenzhen's face changed instantly, and he was immediately in a good mood, and his voice was louder, "It's just that my sister insists on tossing." ”
This is a slap in the face.
Gu Zhenzhen's face changed several times, and after all, he didn't refute anymore, he only walked in front of the British Duchess, bent his knees, and said with a smile: "Say hello to my mother." ”
"When did you arrive in Beijing? Have you been to see your father? ”
The British duchess no longer likes this concubine, and she will not make Gu Zhenzhen ugly at this time. only raised her hand to ask her to sit down, Gu Zhenzhen didn't appreciate it, she only swept the room all over the room, and saw many familiar figures, but she didn't have her biological mother, Aunt Zhou.
