Chapter 31: Covenants

Old Madam Gu was silent for a while before she said: "If you treat Qing'er sincerely, the old body is willing to make decisions for you, but because of your background, you can't be hired as a wife, are you willing to be a concubine?" ”

Hearing this, the first sister hurriedly shook her hand and said: "No, the slave family is a broken flower and a willow, and I don't dare to ask for Gao Pangongzi, the old lady still don't mention it."

Old Madam Gu was surprised: "The old man sees that you have true feelings for Qing'er and are considerate of him everywhere, don't you like him?" ”

What kind of person is the old lady, as soon as she came to this house, she saw that the first sister had such affection for Gu Zhiqing.

"Old lady, our old singer's feelings for Gu Gongzi are unimaginable, but it is by no means the kind of affection between men and women, this kind of old lady, I will mention it again in the future, this is an insult to Gongzi and our sisters' loyalty"

Speaking of this, the first sister paused and said: "Our sisters have already sworn that we will never touch any man in this life and this life, even if we die, we will not let any man touch our body..."

The first sister's words made the old lady Gu also frightened, and at this moment, she suddenly understood why her son would protect these old singers so much.

They do have a very different side from other singers.

Old Madam Gu still explained: "My Qing'er, when she was young, she was stubborn, so that she was notorious, so that she married the Lu family in her early years and has not seen anyone agree, at this time, the old body doesn't want my son to spread any more rumors, so Miss Lu will not marry him."

"Old lady, don't worry, our sisters will only match Young Master Gu's family affairs, and will never get in the way."

The first sister is also a smart person, and the two smart women naturally know what the other party wants to say without explaining anything.

"Okay, with your guarantee, then the old body will rest assured, if you encounter anything in the future, just mention it to me, I can do it for you, I will definitely do it"

At this time, Old Madam Gu also showed her sincerity.

The first sister bowed to her again and said: "It is already a great favor for our humble people to be so valued and trusted by the son, we dare not ask for anything."

Old Madam Gu sighed, "The troubled times have cried you hard-working women, if it was still the Taizu period, why would you have fallen to this?"

Old Madam Gu still misses Sima Yan's peaceful era, but the first sister replied: "Taizu is also a womanizer, riding a sheep's horn in the harem is unscrupulous, and the Great Jin Dynasty has fallen to this day, and he is inseparable."

As soon as this remark came out, Mrs. Gu was frightened, she was stunned for a quarter of an hour, and it was not until the first sister washed her feet and walked out with the foot-washing water that she came to her senses: "How can she say such a rebellious word.... What kind of people are there around me?"

Loucheng, inside the old house of the Gu family.

A crisp baby cry broke the silence in the room, and then the servants and maids all gathered around the little baby in the arms of the steady woman.

The baby cried incessantly, and the voice was very loud.

The moment she saw Wen Po come out, Gu Ying stepped forward, grabbed Wen Po's arm and asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?" ”

Wen Po hesitated for a moment before saying: "Master Gu, it's a baby girl."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Ying's expression instantly dimmed and said, "It's a baby girl."

There was a hint of loss in his expression.

Gu Ying was very expectant that the concubine would give birth to a baby boy this time, but she was born a baby girl, which made him have a huge psychological gap.

Wen Po said: "Madame called the master in"

Gu Ying hesitated for a moment, then paced into the delivery room.

At this time, the delivery room was steaming hot, with a slight smell of blood.

When Gu Ying came to the concubine, the woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes, stared at Gu Ying with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said: "I'm sorry master, I don't have a stomach and gave birth to a daughter, but I promise to give birth again, next time we will have another son."

At this time, the concubine's eyes were already full of tears.

Gu Ying stretched out his hand and stroked her cheek and said, "Rest assured, I'll talk about it later."

At this time, the concubine obviously sensed the indifference and alienation in Gu Ying's attitude.

The concubine once again held Gu Ying's wrist and said, "Master.... I'm still young, I'll give you another son."

Gu Ying turned around slowly, and said with a long sigh: "You are old and young, but I am already old"

This long sigh instantly dispelled the last trace of the concubine's expectation.

Then the flattering smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she said with a kind of coldness and hatred: "Isn't Master Gu really sincere to me?" ”

Gu Ying also turned around and squinted his eyes and stared at the concubine and said, "I know where you come from, and I also know the purpose of your visit, so I am just trading with you, as long as you give birth to a son for me, then I will also abide by the agreement and form an alliance with you..."

Gu Ying's tone was also very cold, and he replied: "Aren't you more aware of this than me?" ”

The concubine said: "I am sincere to Master Gu, isn't Master Gu a little tempted?" ”

Gu Ying bowed his head slightly, and was silent for a long time before saying, "You can rest."

With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, the concubine suddenly straightened up, and her entire hair was also scattered, like a terrible ghost: "Gu Ying, if you dare to take a step out of the door today, you will regret it."

Gu Ying glanced back at the concubine and said coldly: "Tell you the main family, my surname is Gu, and my surname is Gu, one of the four major families in Wu County."

After speaking, Gu Ying stepped out of the threshold, leaving the concubine alone in the delivery room and roaring like crazy:

"Gu Ying, you will pay a cruel price for your ruthlessness today"

Gu Ying stood in the courtyard, raised his old yellow eyes, and looked at the camphor tree in the courtyard.

Countless pictures of playing with Gu Zhiqing in his memory came to mind, "Qing'er, don't complain about my father's cruelty, it's really that the Gu family is in a cruel power struggle, I kicked you out, it can be regarded as a kind of protection for you, it is the father who admits, the father is selfish, if the little concubine can really give birth to a son, I will make him the heir of the Gu family, and I will also ally with them, but I will also leave you some property to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Gu Ying was talking to himself, but he didn't notice that in a corner not far away, a pair of smart eyes were staring at his every move.

Gu Ying said again: "At the moment, the last trace of luck is gone, Dad can only be desperate to open the way for you, even if he uses everything, he must hold Qing'er's safety..."

Gu Ying knelt under the old camphor tree, and said resolutely with a touch of generosity: "Come on, I, Gu Ying, am not afraid of you."

Gu Ying's scene, as well as what he said, were all passed to Gu Zhiqing along a network of messages.

Staring at the stick figure and Gu Ying's words, Gu Zhiqing fell into silence for a long time.
