Chapter XXXVIII
"I wonder where my aunt went?"
On such an occasion, Aunt Zhou was nowhere to be seen, could it be that Mrs. deliberately suppressed it and didn't call it out?
Gu Zhenzhen was a little unhappy in his heart, but his face was still smiling.
The British duchess turned the sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand and said lightly: "Your aunt only shouted that she was not feeling well a few days ago, so I told her to rest." ”
Gu Zhenzhen didn't expect the British duchess to admit it so openly, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she only smiled and reluctantly responded: "Auntie's body is still like this, and it will always be weaker in spring and autumn." ”
As he was talking, the British Duke who learned of Gu Zhenzhen's return stepped in, and as soon as Gu Zhenzhen saw him, he immediately got up, his beautiful face showed admiration and excitement, and he took two steps forward and bowed down: "Father, the unfilial daughter is back!" ”
"Zhenzhen, it's really you!" The British Duke laughed, helped Gu Zhenzhen up with his own hands, looked up and down, and saw that she was dressed in bright clothes and gorgeous clothes, although she was a little dusty, she still did not hide her national beauty, and she was even more happy, "Just now Lao Gu told me that you are back, and I thought that the old thing was fooling me." ”
Gu Zhenzhen is the most beloved and proudest child of the British father, he has been out of Beijing since his wedding, and he has never returned to his relatives for all these years, and the British prince has long missed it. At first glance, he was overjoyed, and he didn't see that there was another daughter in Yunshui Pavilion.
Gu Shi lowered his eyes, as if he had long been accustomed to such coldness.
"Zhenzhen, why did you enter Beijing at this time? Counting the days, didn't you leave in the first month? The British public asked with concern.
Gu Zhenzhen's husband Pingnanhou has been stationed along the West Sea for many years, thousands of miles away from the capital, and he can't sail in winter, if he returns to Beijing by carriage, it will take a lot of time.
"Father, have a cup of tea first." Gu Zhenzhen took the tea from the maid and gave it to the British duke with his own hands, "Wait for a while to come to the guests, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it." ”
The British man nodded with a smile.
"Not only will I come back this time, but even our Hou Ye will enter Beijing soon."
Gu Zhenzhen's smile was extremely bright, and he seemed to have infinite affection when he talked about Pingnanhou. Ling Miao looked at her with interest, only to feel that this aunt seemed to be very good at being a person, and every sentence could be said to other people's hearts - of course, this was to the person she was willing to say.
"Could it be that my uncle is going to be promoted back to Beijing?" As soon as the British Duke groaned, he guessed the reason.
Gu Zhenzhen nodded with a smile, and his face was full of honor.
"It was the year before the decree was obtained. My daughter wanted to write a letter to you to report the good news, but she just wanted to go to Beijing first to clean up the house, and she could surprise you when she came back this time, so she hid it. ”
The British Duke laughed, patted Gu Zhenzhen's hand, and said with relief: "This surprise is good!" It's better than any other birthday gift! Good, good daughter! ”
Gu Zhenzhen tilted her head and smiled, as naughty as a teenage girl.
As soon as his eyes wandered, he fell on the silent Gu Shi on the side, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "The eldest sister arrived earlier than me today, but I don't know if the eldest brother-in-law is here?" ”
This is a bit provocative.
Back then, the British Duke originally wanted to marry her to Ling Song, but she didn't marry her, so she changed Gu's past. For so many years, Gu's body was injured by Ling Song, how many Gu Zhenzhen's handwritings are there?
As soon as Gu Zhenzhen's words came out, Gu Shi was not yet good, and the British duchess sank her face first, and only put the teacup in her hand heavily.
"Mother!" Gu Zhenzhen seemed to realize what she had said, and her delicate face was as delicate as a flower with a little apology, "Big sister, but what did I say wrong, did I make my mother angry?" ”
"How so?" Gu Shi elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth, "Second sister, you have always been able to speak, how can you say something unpleasant?" ”
"Okay, Zhenzhen just came back, what are you doing here?" The British princess protected the concubine as always, turned to Gu Zhenzhen and said, "I went to see your aunt first, and then came out." ”
Gu Zhenzhen bowed, "Yes, daughters listen to their father." ”
blessed the British duchess again, and went back to find Aunt Zhou.
"After coming back from a long journey, the old mansion in Beijing must be incomplete. You arrange for her to stay first, and then make plans when the weather is warm and your uncle enters Beijing. ”
The British duchess commanded the British duchess.
"The concubine is also very bad during this time, so let's leave this matter to Aunt Zhou." The British duchess's face was cold, obviously very dissatisfied with her husband's behavior.
The British princess was dismissed in front of his daughter-in-law, daughter, and granddaughter, and was very displeased. But after thinking about it, Aunt Zhou was Gu Zhenzhen's own mother, and she would only be more dedicated than the British Duchess, so she didn't say anything. Today is his fiftieth birthday, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble, so he flicked his sleeves and went out with a hum.
"Mother, you ......" Gu Shi looked at the British Duchess worriedly. In the past, the British duchess put her husband first in everything, and if it sounded good, it was soft, and if it didn't sound good, it was a little cowardly. Now, how can it start to be cold?
The British duchess smiled bitterly, and Liu Shi next to her gently slapped her shoulder and persuaded: "Mother, don't be angry. It's your body that matters. ”
"I was mistaken." The British duchess sighed, "Back then, I only thought about home and everything. He was not good, so I persuaded him to let him, after all, who didn't live like this. Thinking like this, I actually made you and your eldest brother eat a lot of grievances with me. ”
As a man, the British duke is also a scumbag. But unlike Ling Song's amorous affection, there is always only one concubine favored by the British public, and that is Aunt Zhou. All kinds of actions, it is not an exaggeration to say true love.
Aunt Zhou is a child of a family, although the British public has always been very fond of her, but the family is still slave, and she is a concubine who cannot be put on the stage after all. But the son and daughter she gave birth to are all very capable. Gu Zhenzhen didn't say anything, it was his son Gu Rubai, who was also very good at eating among the gentlemen in Beijing, and was often called Gu Second Brother. These two children are more loved by the British duchess than Gu Rusong and Gu from the British duchess.
Because of Aunt Zhou's mother and son, how much shamelessness did the British duke give to his wife? Since he was a child, Gu has watched the British duchess cry every pair of candles. In order to protect his mother, Gu forced himself to become a hedgehog. Since I was a child, I didn't know how much reprimanded the British public for this.
At this time, when the British Duchess mentioned it, her eyes turned red, and she smiled reluctantly: "What did my mother say about this?" Now, are we worse than them? ”
The British Duchess shook her head.
If she is most sorry, it is not her son Gu Rusong, but Gu's daughter.
"Ah Wan...... "Her daughter's marriage is a thorn in her heart, and Gu's life is not happy, and it is more like a knife to rip out her heart." It's my mother who can't live with you! ”
Seeing that she was depressed, Liu Shi was busy glancing at Gu. Gu Shi understood, got up and hugged the British duchess, "I never feel wronged." Mother, I have Asu and Amiao, which is very good. ”
At the mention of the two Ling Su brothers and sisters, the British Duchess finally had a smile, raised her head, and called, "Ah Miao." ”
"Grandmother." Ling Miao walked over, knelt down in front of the British Duchess, raised her face, and smiled as bright and dazzling as the warm spring sun, which made the sad old woman feel a lot more relieved.
Thinking of Ling Su's fame in the capital at a young age, the British Duchess nodded and said to Gu: "These two children are good, you have to raise them carefully." ”
Gu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
A maid came in outside, bowed her head and said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, the eldest young master and the young master outside are here, and there are a few guests who are angry." ”
The British Duchess's eyes lit up, her face became more loving, and she hurriedly shouted: "Call in, don't freeze on this cold day." ”
As he spoke, the curtains outside opened, and several teenagers rushed in. One of them, with a clear appearance and a gentle smile, is Gu Rusong's eldest son, Gu Junci.
Gu Junci was surrounded by Ling Su. Unlike Gu Jun, who is handsome and heroic, Ling Su is a little weaker, but his eyebrows are more beautiful and elegant.
The two stand together, one is as clear as a bamboo, and the other is as elegant as an orchid, both of them are rare outstanding teenagers.
It's just that behind them, two familiar figures followed.
Chu Zixi, and Yijun Wang Xiaoli.
As a person from the Duke of Chu, Chu Zixi came to congratulate the British public on his birthday, which is normal. But Xiao Li, the king of Yijun, no matter how he looked at it, Ling Miao couldn't figure out how he could appear together.
Although they had only met twice, with Ling Miao's intuition, Xiao Li was by no means a person who was bored and came to have fun with a down-and-out Guogong Mansion.
"Grandmother, the king of the county, Zixi and Asu are here to greet you." Gu Junci smiled.
The British duchess was busy getting up, although she was old and a super-first-class order, she didn't dare to put up a fight in front of a prince.
"Don't dare to be." The British duchess owed, "The prince came and made the British Mansion shine." ”
Xiao Li nodded slightly, "Madame doesn't have to be polite. ”
The British duchess turned her head to look at Chu Zixi again, and she spoke a little more casually and closely, "Zixi has been back in Beijing for a long time, and only came to see my wife today, should be beaten!" ”
The Duke of Chu and the British Mansion have always walked around, and before Chu Zixi went to the mountain to study medicine, he often came to the British Mansion to play, and Gu Junci was a good friend. The British duchess has always regarded him as a junior.
Chu Zixi immediately smiled and said a few words of apology, which made the British duchess laugh too. When they had seen each other and saluted, they all sat down.
Because Gu Shi had something on his mind, he couldn't help but take a closer look at Gu Junci. Seeing that his eyes were clear, and he had a smile on his eyebrows and eyes when he talked to Ling Miao, he was a little more satisfied.
It's just that her performance is more obvious, and Liu, who is standing behind the British Duchess, looks at it thoughtfully.
