Chapter 161: Grounding
"Why did you hurt someone?" The old lady frowned, her eyes concerning.
Gu Wanyin lowered her head and said gently: "Where does the child know the severity?" If you are angry, you will be heavy. ”
"Which family's son was hurt?" The old lady asked again.
"It's the Yang family. I just transferred to the capital as an official. Gu Wanyin replied calmly, avoiding the second wife's gaze.
However, the second wife suddenly exclaimed: "Yang family? I remember that family has a very good relationship with the king of the north, and they are sons and daughters. ”
Gu Wanyin pursed her lips. It seems that the second wife has known about this for a long time. So, did the old lady call her over, and she also had the credit of the second wife?
It seems that the second wife is determined to embarrass her?
"The Yang family?" The old lady seemed to remember something: "I remember that the family married their daughter and entered the Pingbei Palace, and there is some power in the capital." ”
Gu Wanyin didn't speak, what else can she say now? Since the old lady didn't want her to go out, then she probably wouldn't be able to get out of this door anyway. Instead of being anxious, it is better to calm down and see what the second wife wants to do.
The second wife's eyes flashed, and she looked at Gu Wanyin and said, "Isn't it?" So Wanyin, you Gu family must remember that harmony is precious. If you make a fuss, not only will it not sound good to say it, but you can't even take these men out with our family, and you will be pointed at by others. ”
Gu Wanyin's eyes froze, and the smile on the corner of her lips became even colder. Is the second wife a warning? It was to make her understand that since she married into the Zhou family, she was a member of the Zhou family, and it was best not to go to the Gu family to stir up.
"How do you say that?" The old lady glanced at the second wife, and her tone was a little disgusted: "Jing's daughter-in-law is from the Gu family, why can't she take care of those things?" In my opinion, not only should you manage it, but you should also manage it well. Jing's daughter-in-law's biological mother went early. There is no one in charge at home, she doesn't help, who helps? You say so. But it's too selfish. Don't forget, your daughter-in-law is also in the family. ”
The second lady suddenly sneered: "The old lady taught me a lesson." ”
The old lady glanced at her, and then her tone softened again: "But you are also dedicated to our Zhou family." Of course I know. ”
Looking at the old lady's loving appearance, Gu Wanyin tightened her fingers more and more. The old lady seemed to be talking for her. But really? In fact, it's just beating her openly and secretly!
At that moment, Gu Wanyin raised her head, looked at the second wife, and smiled sincerely: "The second aunt is right. Of course, I know that. It's just two children fighting, how big can it be? Now the Yang family is angry for a while and refuses to forgive the Gu family, but as long as the Gu family is sincere, how can they continue to care? But speaking of which, my brother is also spoiled. It's not just me and my grandmother. Even Concubine Rong likes him very much, and he doesn't know that the sky is high and thick. ”
Hearing the words Concubine Rong, the expression on the second wife's face stiffened, and she said in her heart: If it weren't for the fact that there was a Concubine Rong in the Gu family, the Gu family's big house and third room were very promising, even if she fought for a bad reputation, she would definitely not be hired; It's embarrassing to show off?
When the old lady heard this, she nodded: "Yes, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, for the sake of Concubine Rong, she will never move the real character." You don't need to worry about Jing's daughter-in-law. Just stay at home, the child is not sensible, just discipline well. ”
"That's what the old lady said." Gu Wanyin lowered her eyes, and her fan-like eyelashes covered her eyes. Looks humble and docile.
"Well, I'm tired today, so you can go back first. Jing'er is rarely at home for a day, and you accompany him. The old lady said with a smile, thought about it, and added: "The sun is big and the weather is hot these days, you should also pay attention to your body, don't run around because you are worried." It's not a good thing to get caught in the heat at that time. If you want to know any news, just let the mother-in-law and girl run. ”
That is, it is better for her to stay at home and not go anywhere.
Gu Wanyin knew in her heart that the old lady had given a restraining order in disguise. I didn't want to stay any longer at the moment, so I got up and smiled and left.
But the second wife did not come out. is still diligent in pinching the old lady's legs and beating her back. It wasn't until Gu Wanyin went out that she lowered her voice and said, "Old lady, look, this is how the small family is." Where can it be compared to the big family? ”
The old lady frowned, as if she was a little unhappy: "Now she is Jing'er's daughter-in-law." ”
"But look at the old lady, how can she be in charge of the family business like this?" The second wife said again, and there was a lot of sarcasm between her words: "Ruijing is also unlucky, and he came back after marrying such a mother-in-law." There were scandals at the end of the three days, and I don't know what was going on with the Gu family. ”
Saying that, the second wife couldn't help sighing: "Our Ruiming life is even more bitter." Miss Gu Jiayan is like this, not to mention the concubine! ”
"The dowry is all down, do you still want to regret the marriage?" The old lady opened her eyes and glanced at the second wife, who was complaining, and her expression gradually became a little impatient: "Although the conditions are worse, but in two years to find a reason, and marry another wife." I've already thought about it on Jing'er's side. Hmph, if she doesn't move this year, I'll marry Jing'er again. When the time comes, no one will have anything to say. ”
The second wife was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Gu Wanyin was already annoying, if she married another one back, this time it was the old lady who chose it, then the old lady would definitely put the right of the housekeeper in the hands of the big house. What will they do when the time comes?!
After figuring out this, the second wife suddenly felt a little remorseful - if she knew this, she shouldn't have been talking about this in the old lady's ear all day long!
The second wife thought about it, but the old lady sighed again: "Actually, putting aside family affairs, Jing's daughter-in-law can be regarded as sensible. If it weren't for the Gu family......
The second wife didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she hurriedly said: "Old lady, you said, what gifts should we prepare for the Queen Mother's birthday this time?" ”
The current queen mother, but the cousin of the old lady, because of this relationship, the relationship between their Zhou family and the royal family is different. And the old lady always enters the palace to celebrate her birthday every year when the Queen Mother celebrates her birthday. This birthday gift is naturally to be carefully prepared.
"I sent someone to invite a white jade Guanyin back from Jinguang Temple earlier." The old lady smiled, "The Queen Mother must like it." "Over the years, if it weren't for the help of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that today's saint would never have made the Zhennan Mansion so prosperous.
This is the marriage ...... The old lady sighed. If she hadn't understood what the Queen Mother meant, she would never have easily agreed to this kiss.
Although the Gu family has Concubine Rong in the palace, Concubine Rong is getting older, but she has never had an heir. In the harem, such women are the least lacking. So no one will take this seriously.
As for the big room and the third room of the Gu family outside the palace, although they all have some strength, compared to those high-ranking families, they are not only a star and a half behind?
The Gu family looked at the scenery, but in fact they didn't have any strength. It's just a fancy look. It's just a matter of bluffing those small households, but for their Zhou family, it can't be compared.
Therefore, the Queen Mother would accept it like that at that time. The Queen Mother and the Holy Lord were unwilling to marry the King of Zhennan and the powerful family.
Zhou Ruijing is also extremely aware of this in his heart. The old lady knew in her heart that she would not be so resolute in marrying Gu Wanyin. In terms of beauty, compared with Gu Wanyin, it is not that there is no better, but it should be as much as a cow's hair. In terms of family rooms, there is not only one suitable family in Beijing. Although they have the reputation of "Ke Wife" outside, they are the Zhou family, and there will be fewer people who want to climb up?
It's just that the Gu family is the least powerful. Such a Yue family will only be a drag on Zhou Ruijing, not a help. Therefore, the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord are happy to see it come to fruition.
Only in this way can it be regarded as fundamentally suppressing the Zhennan Palace.
It's just that even if she knows and understands this, the old lady is still unwilling.
As for the second room...... The old lady was satisfied. Now that there is no separation, if the daughter-in-law of the second room is too good, won't she overwhelm the big house? When the time comes, how should Zhou Ruijing deal with himself in this palace?
It's just that the second wife doesn't know the old lady's thoughts. It's only when the old lady is afraid of fame, so she has to admit it. But I didn't expect that when the old lady was so dissatisfied with Gu Wanyin, she was not at all dissatisfied with Gu Wanyin, but had a taste of joy to see it.
However, what happened to the Gu family now made the second wife a little happy - because of this, the Gu family must have no time to take care of the dowry? In this way, she can also hide from the world and quietly squeeze more silver.
She didn't want to cheapen that concubine for nothing.
After Gu Wanyin returned to the courtyard, Zhou Ruijing was already in the house. When he saw her come back, he looked up and smiled: "Today's sweet soup is too sweet." Next time, if you want me to eat it, can I put less sugar? ”
Gu Wanyin's face suddenly turned red, and she was a little embarrassed to come. At that time, she wanted to ask Zhou Ruijing to help, but she was afraid that the news would not be transmitted, so she thought of such a method. Now it's making him joke.
However, Gu Wanyin was more worried about the current situation of the Gu family, so she put aside her discomfort and hurriedly asked, "Does the prince know the current situation of the Gu family?" ”
Zhou Ruijing expected her to ask this, so he immediately explained the situation: "Your eldest aunt has already gone over to preside, and the Gu family is not doing anything for the time being." Your uncle also took Cong Qi to make amends. Even Concubine Rong sent someone out of the palace to send supplements and medicinal materials to the Yang family. I think the Yang family will loosen up sooner or later. ”
Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but the Qi family wanted to take advantage of this incident to get along with their Zhennan Palace. Now that he is not coming out, the Qi family is naturally not interesting, and with the face of Concubine Rong and the Gu family, the Yang family will not really be good.;
