I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 613

Just like Mr. Qiu's inference, Xueshi Gu didn't want to repair the relationship with the Gu family, nor did he care about the younger generation of the Gu family.

Therefore, after the news of Qianzhong Road came back to the capital, the scholar's office did not intervene, so the news spread throughout the capital in about half a day.

"Miss, are you okay?" The servant girl in a green jacket looked worriedly at the silent Gu Wu girl. The words outside were terrible. The Nanling Mansion couldn't get married, so they had to come to the capital to find someone to take advantage of.

Who knew that even though the third son Qiu was thousands of miles away in Qianzhong Road, he would still send people to Nanling Mansion to inquire about the news, so he immediately rejected the marriage with the young lady after knowing the truth.

Gu Xiao came back to her senses, and smiled gently at the maid with a worried face, "It's okay, you go down first, mother."

The woman in her forties who was standing aside immediately stepped forward, took out a purse from her bosom and stuffed it into the servant girl's hand, and after sending her to the gate of the courtyard, she turned around and strode into the room, "Miss It's time to rest, you two stay outside so that no one will disturb Miss."

Striding into the room, Mammy Ping went straight to the inner room without seeing Gu Xiao who was still sitting on the chair just now.

"Mommy, why did Second Uncle treat me like this?" Sitting on the embroidered stool in front of the dressing table, Gu Xiao didn't need to maintain her usual gentleness and elegance, her pretty face showed her resentment towards Bachelor Gu for the first time.

The reputation of a girl's family is so important, and her life is almost the same. Gu Xiao really doesn't understand why Xueshi Gu treats Zhan Feiyu, a country girl who is not relatives or relatives, so kindly, and sends a carriage of things to Guizhou every month. middle way.

But how cruel and ruthless he is to his own niece, who also has Gu's blood flowing in her body, and allows outsiders to ruin her reputation.

Nanny Ping didn't know how to speak. Since she moved into the scholar's mansion, Nanny Ping met Gu Xueshi for the first time when she followed Gu Xiao to the front yard. After that, she was busy with official duties. I haven't seen Xueshi Gu face to face.

But from the alienated attitude of the servants in the mansion, it can be seen that Gu Xueshi is indifferent to this niece. What Madam Ping didn't dare to say is that the young lady is lucky to be from the girl's family. They were all kicked out of the scholar's mansion to fend for themselves.

"Those people outside are jealous of Miss's family background and talent, so naturally they desperately want to ruin Miss's reputation." Nanny Ping gently persuaded, walked to the side and cleaned her hands, and came to remove the bead hairpin on Gu Xiao's head, " Third Young Master Qiu is just a white man, how can he be worthy of a young lady, it's all rumored outside, those wives won't believe it."

Gu Xiao didn't speak again. In fact, she herself was in the fog at the beginning. She stayed in the scholar's mansion well, almost without going out of the door. Why did she suddenly have herself and the third son of the Qiu family in Qianzhong Dao? The news of seeing each other came out.

In the past two or three days, the news spread more and more outrageously, even the auspicious day for the engagement came out, and there were rumors that Mrs. Qiu would use a pair of emerald and eight immortal phoenix crowns from the previous court as a trustworthy object.

The Qiu family in Qianzhong Road and the Gu family in Nanling are also well-matched. Gu Xiao asked Nanny Ping to inquire about it for a moment of curiosity. Who would have thought that besides a good background, Mr. Qiu is now a white man, such a man with mediocre qualifications How can He De be worthy of himself?
"Every mouth makes money, and the accumulation destroys the bones. Mom, no matter whether it is true or not, but now that my reputation has been ruined, I am afraid that my family will be disappointed in me." Gu Xiao lowered her eyes and smiled bleakly.

In order to cultivate myself these years, the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation have all been exquisite. Since the age of five, I have invited a teacher to enlighten me, and nothing has been left behind in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But Mr. Qiu, being a dude is enough to ruin his reputation, cut off his chance to marry his family, and let the major families in the capital know how indifferent his second uncle is to his niece. Gu Xiao knows that his marriage is difficult without thinking. Let alone the right family, I am afraid that families inferior to Gu's will not respect me.

Nanny Ping didn't know how to persuade her. Before she came to the capital, she only thought that Xueshi Gu loved a country girl so much. I heard that the warehouse of the scholar's mansion was about to be emptied.

Zhan Fei Yuren is not in the capital, but Bachelor Gu chose the best yard in the backyard for people to renovate from the inside to the outside. The utensils in the house are all exquisite, and they are all treasures that cannot be bought with money. , I heard that all the things that can be used by the girl's house have been moved from the warehouse to the new yard by Gu Xueshi.

Everyone in the family thinks that Gu Xueshi's knees are empty, so they are so concerned about a little girl. The young lady is the niece of Gu Xueshi's direct relative. .

But the fact is that Gu Xueshi not only failed to take care of his niece, but even let the gossip outside ruin the young lady's reputation.

"Miss, the clan has already sent people to suppress the news, and the rumors will disappear in a few days." Nanny Ping waited for Gu Xiao to lie down, looked at Gu Xiao who closed her eyes but was not sleepy at all, and said again. Distressed and helpless, this is the capital city, not Nanling Mansion, and if Bachelor Gu doesn't make a move, it's too difficult for them to do anything.

Mammy Ping's words were not enough to reassure Gu Xiao, she knew that reputation was just one thing, the key was the second uncle's attitude that determined everything, the family sent herself to the capital to test, this time I'm afraid she was really going to be disappointed.
