Chapter 45: The Hou Mansion

When the mother-in-law heard this, she jumped up and down with excitement, "Oh my God, old lady! Brother Songlian invites you to dinner, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

Tang was also stunned, "This ..... Is this true? You didn't lie to me? ”

"No, it's true, don't believe it."

The attendant pointed to the door on the other side, and Song Lian was looking at her with a smile and waved her hand gently.

Tang's heart blossomed, "Hey, hey, I will definitely arrive, thank Brother Songlian for me." ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly helped Tang to go back.

That night, the Tang clan sent Su Yiyue into her house, which frightened Su Yiyue, and she asked nervously:

"Mother...... What's the matter with me? ”

Tang's eyes froze, and he said solemnly: "What do you dare to ask me about?" Looks like you're not taking me seriously. ”

Su Yiyue was very terrible in her heart, and she didn't know if the Tang family knew anything, so now she came to ask her about the guilt, "Mother, what are you talking about, I ..... I don't remember. ”

"Didn't you mention that the other day? Zhenguo waits for tomorrow's birthday banquet, most of the dignitaries of the high gate are going to go, do you want me to go alone? ”

She really didn't remember what Tang said about it, but fortunately it didn't refer to Tianyang Yuan, otherwise the situation would have been even worse.

"Of course, I can't let you go alone, but I'm really ...... these days with busy business I didn't prepare anything, or else..... Next time, right? ”

"I knew you would say that." Tang stood up and said majestically: "I have prepared things for you, bring this costume back, tomorrow, accompany me!" ”

This matter can be regarded as a final conclusion on the coffin, Su Yuyue asked Ah Zhu to bring the things back, and returned to the room in despair.

Gu Mingyuan saw that she was so depressed, so he asked, "Ah Yue, what's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

"It's okay......"

Su Yiyue shook her head and fell headlong into the quilt.

Gu Mingyuan hurriedly walked over and fished her into his arms, "Did my mother find something?" Or is she treating you badly? If there is something, don't hold back and endure it, your husband will make the decision for you. ”

Su Yuyue didn't speak, Gu Mingyuan got up decisively, "I'll ask my mother." ”

"Don't go." She hugged his waist and said helplessly: "This matter has nothing to do with my mother, it's my problem." ”

"Ah Yue." Gu Mingyuan said seriously: "Can you talk to me about it?" ”

Su Yuyue sat up straight and said, "Gu Mingyuan'er, in fact, I still haven't figured out why you insist on marrying me. ”

When Gu Mingyuan heard this, his whole heart hung up, "Ah Yue, what are you talking nonsense!" ”

He went back and hugged her, and said seriously: "Naturally, I love you, so I have to be you." ”

"But I can't run a house, I can't go to the hall or the kitchen, and even representing the Gu family at various banquets will mess things up, lose the face of the Gu family, and lose your face."

She continued: "In the first month of my marriage to you, I went to the ancestral hall to meet the clan people, but my life experience was ridiculed, so that you and your father have not reconciled with your cousin and uncle until now. ”

"In the second month, when I went to the Ding'an Mansion, I couldn't recite poetry, play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you would be ridiculed."

"In the third month, the gossip that he was implicated in pushing the county lord into the pond is still hated by many people."

Gu Mingyuan couldn't listen to it anymore, and said: "The county lord deliberately framed you, many people know this matter in their hearts, Ah Yue, don't take it to heart, okay?" ”

"However, my background is incompatible with you, and it will cause the Gu family to become the target of public criticism, have you ever thought that if you marry not me, a man from the mountains, but a famous lady.......

"Ah Yue." Gu Mingyuan said seriously: "I only thought about whether it would be better for you if I wasn't the young master of the Gu family, just an ordinary teacher." ”

He said gently: "Our union is not a mistake, the fault is those who are prejudiced, and the person who should reflect on his background is not you, I am right..... After all, I pestered you back then, and I resolutely have to do it now. ”

"I'm sorry that my birth made you sad, I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy the superior growth of a wealthy family, and you were forced to accept the responsibility of the so-called human relationship between them, if you have to choose someone between us to take the mistake, you know that this person should be me."

Gu Mingyuan held her slightly cold little hand and put it close to his lips, "Ah Yue, don't leave me alone." ”

She looked at his loneliness, and her heart was very uncomfortable.

Although Su Yiyue was under a lot of pressure to get along with the big family, she knew that Gu Mingyuan had tried her best to make her live at ease, not only that, but her in-laws were actually protecting her, thinking about it like this, what reason could she not work hard?

She smiled and hugged Gu Mingyuan, "Ah I'm sorry, I'll continue to work hard to fit in." ”

"Lady ......"

Gu Mingyuan hugged her, and thought about it seriously, Su Yiyue felt this time, she should be going to the banquet again, and after going through it in her mind, she suddenly remembered that she should be going to attend the birthday banquet of Zhen Guohou.

"Lady, the banquet of Zhenguohou, let me accompany you, with me, then no one will dare to bully you."

Su Yiyue shook her head, "No need, recently Beiqiang sent a prince to the court, I think His Majesty will entrust you with great trust, why do you care about me when you are busy these days, I am a good wife, I can handle it." ”

Gu Mingyuan couldn't resist Su Yiyue, he knew that she had her own arrogance, since this was the case, he would just obediently act as her virtuous helper.

......

The next day, Ah Zhu put on makeup for Su Yiyue, put on expensive clothes, and set off with Tang.

Tang advised: "When you go to the banquet, don't talk unless you have to, your outfit and hair accessories are all carefully selected by me, and you will never go wrong, with your passable appearance, as long as you don't have too many expressions and words, you can also overwhelm others." ”

Su Yuyue smiled, "Mother, are you turning a corner and saying that I am beautiful?" ”

Tang Shi was stunned for a moment, and immediately retorted, "I..... You...... You don't rely on the clothes I prepared to shine now, what does it matter to your appearance, if it weren't for these clothes, you would still be a wild girl. ”

"Mother, if you want to praise me for being beautiful, just say it, it's really not cute to keep beating around the bush."

Su Yiyue laughed, and Tang's face turned red, "I praise you?" Dreaming, I see that you are being held up to the sky by Yuan'er, and I will never ...... if you don't have any points for yourself."

The mother-in-law next to her couldn't help laughing, this was simply trying to cover up, covering the horse's head and leaking the snake's tail.

After half a burnt incense, they came to the mansion of Zhen Guohou, got out of the carriage, and went to the door.

Zhenguo Hou and his wife greeted him, and Zhenguo Hou said: "Old Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu Shao, welcome to my Hou Mansion." ”

Tang was elegant and generous, revealing a decent smile, "Master Hou is so polite, today is your birthday, our lord is still far away in Jiangnan, and Ming Yuan is in the palace to do things for His Majesty, so I can only bring my daughter-in-law to celebrate your birthday." ”

Su Yuyue saluted a little nervously, "Good Hou Ye, Mrs. Hou, I wish Hou Ye good fortune like Nanshan in the East China Sea, and a safe and healthy birthday." ”

Tang nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "The thin gift we prepared for this matter is still expected to be accepted." ”

Zhen Guohou took it, the two exchanged pleasantries, and the Tang family took Su Yuyue into the Hou Mansion and greeted the noblewomen.

Su Yiyue quietly smiled and nodded in agreement according to the Tang family's setting, and whenever there was something that had to be said, the Tang family would give her an answer.

Finally, half of the time passed, Su Yuyue sat on the side, eating pastries and fruits, and there were a few more people next to her.

Su Yiyue recognized that it was not Xu Ruhuan's good sister, and now that she came to her, she must also want to bury her well, so that her sisters could vent their evil anger.

Sure enough, someone suddenly threw a jade pendant on the ground and said with a smile: "Oops, my jade pendant fell to the ground." ”

The other continued: "Then you have to pick it up quickly, you know that there are many people who have turned pheasants into phoenixes who can't change their nature, maybe they will secretly pick it up and sell it at home." ”

"Yes, it's obviously the life of the pheasant, but he turned over his value through the sister-in-law of the master's family, this method is really invincible."

"And squeezed other people's original fiancΓ©es down, presumably by crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves, and those women are often like that."

"The courtyard here is full of high-class families who were born nobles, and she doesn't feel out of place, it's just shameless."

Su Yiyue has also seen a lot of this kind of scene, almost every time she attends a banquet, she will meet someone who talks about her background intentionally or unintentionally, and often even if she has not done anything wrong, she will be mixed with her words and deeds for no reason.

But she can't resist in her way, otherwise even if she takes advantage, she will be ridiculed because of her background.

In other words, the origin of the commoners, to survive in this upper class is the original sin.

But she has experienced this kind of thing countless times, and she will have her own way of doing things.

Su Yuyue walked over casually, stepped on the jade pendant on the ground, and stepped on it hard, stomping into the mud.

The two women were stunned, "You..... What are you doing! ”

"Oh, I don't understand what the two girls mean."

Su Yiyue looked innocent, and one of the young ladies in yellow said angrily: "You stepped on our things!" ”

"Huh? I'm sorry, I didn't see anything on the ground. ”

She jumped away and looked down to see that the jade pendant had been stuck in the mud, and as a lady who didn't leave the door, they suddenly showed an extremely disgusted look.

"It's all dirty, and we can't ask for it anymore!"

"You did it on purpose, you did it on purpose, you are just a civilian, how dare you do this to us! I'm going to tell my mother! ”

They were so angry that they wanted to call someone, and after a while, two women came forward and said majestically, "What's going on?" Mrs. Gu, it seems a little inappropriate for you to bully two little girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet. ”

The two young ladies hid behind their mother-in-law and said proudly: "That is, she knew that our jade pendant fell to the ground, and she stepped on it, which is really rude." ”

"Yes, with this face, I thought this Hou Mansion was her home."

One of the women said solemnly: "Young Lady Gu, you should give us an explanation, right?" ”

There were more and more onlookers, and Su Yiyue was once again pushed to the forefront, and just as she was about to make a move, another majestic voice single-handedly killed.

"Yo? What a novelty this is, it seems that my daughter-in-law is really very popular with the two ladies. ”
