At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 377 Punishment
In the mid-autumn season, the coolness is getting stronger. The eldest grandson Wugou is wearing a plain skirt and a pale pink vest with pinched teeth. A small white flower is inserted in the girl's bun. Wan demure, she was tending the pot of golden autumn chrysanthemums on the terrace with her crescent-like eyelids down, there seemed to be a touch of sadness between her brows, she raised her eyes and annoyed the waiter and said: "You little hoof, why are you yelling?" What are you doing? Tell me, who did you meet again?"

The waiter stuck out his tongue and said, "My servant met Gao Changqing in Nanshi, miss, guess who Mr. Gao is with?"

The eldest grandson Wugou said angrily: "I can't guess, just tell me!"

The servant said mysteriously, "Sister Hong!"

"Sister Hong? That... that elder sister who has been buying our embroidery?" Changsun Wugou asked in surprise.

The waiter nodded and said: "It's Sister Hong. The servant girl saw Mr. Gao and Sister Hong talking and laughing, and they seemed to be very familiar. By the way, Mr. Gao also called Sister Hong and Sister-in-law, and Sister Hong called Mrs. Gao." The young master is the third younger brother."

Changsun Wugou's heart was moved when he heard the words, she also heard about Gao Bufan and Li Jing's sworn marriage, could it be that this Hongjie is Li Jing's wife Hong Funu?

The servant said with a smile: "The servant girl also thought it was strange that there is such a good thing in this world, and the person who dared to buy all the embroidery of the girl is Mr. Gao, hehe, it seems that Mr. Gao really cares about the girl, if not The maid accidentally ran into her in Nanshi today, so I'm afraid I've been kept in the dark."

The eldest grandson Wugou's pretty face, which was as smooth as a freshly peeled lychee, flew up two red clouds, and a strange emotion also appeared in his heart, he gave the servant a blank look and said, "It's all your fault, I told you to go and see the red clouds." The cloth shop opened by my sister, you don’t want to find out, how can I feel at ease after receiving such a long time of favor from others for nothing!”

The servant said aggrievedly: "The servant girl was going to see it, but Sister Hong made excuses every time, what could the servant girl do, and she was embarrassed not to sell the girl's embroidery to her, alas, everyone is so familiar! "

Changsun Wugou lightly poked the servant's forehead: "You wouldn't go to other places to sell it. How could I sell such a stupid girl like you? I'm so pissed off."

The servant pouted and said, "Should I ask Miss Hong to return the product?"

The eldest grandson Wugou said angrily: "Where can we get the money to return to others now, it's not enough to sell you stupid girl."

The secretary is an optimist, and said with a smile: "Then we won't retreat, let's continue to pretend that we don't know, or...the girl should just marry Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao is so considerate, he is definitely a rare good man, Otherwise, the head of the family would not have given the imperial gift of the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang jade pendant to Mr. Gao as a lottery."

The eldest grandson Wugou was ashamed and annoyed, so he stretched out his hand to tear the mouth of the little hooves, when there was a quarrel, there was a light cough from behind, the master and the servant turned around, only then did they realize that their mother, Mrs. Gao, did not know when Going up to the attic, he was looking at the master and servant with sullen faces.

"Mother!" The eldest grandson Wugou said in a little embarrassment, and the servant also quickly blessed him: "Ma'am!"

Gao reprimanded: "Wugou, you are not small anymore. What are you doing if you are the master or the servant, what's the matter?"

The eldest grandson Wugou blushed immediately, lowered his head and said: "Mother, my daughter is wrong."

Mrs. Gao's words were so serious that the servant girl's face turned pale, and she knelt down on the ground and said, "It's the servant girl who teased the girl. Madam punishes the maidservant if she wants to. It's none of the girl's business."

Although Mrs. Gao is gentle and gentle, she disciplines her children very strictly. In addition, her elder brother had an accident recently and he was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He slapped him twice, and warned: "If you say those nasty things again to tease Wugou, you will be kicked out of the house."

The waiter cried and said: "The servant girl will never dare again!"

"Go down, you are not allowed to eat at noon, and you will be punished!" Gao scolded with a cold face.

The servant rubbed his eyes and left the attic, Changsun Wugou was a little at a loss, mother hadn't been so angry for a long time.

Mrs. Gao didn't seem to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "You will be punished for copying the girls' training twice, and you will not be allowed to do embroidery to earn money in the future. The daughter's family should cultivate their morals and avoid causing troubles." , so as not to be troubled by evil spirits, make some..."

The eldest grandson Wugou felt aggrieved and sad, his eyes were slightly red, he lowered his head and said: "Daughter respectfully obeys mother's instruction!"

Seeing this, Gao couldn't bear it, swallowed back the more serious words, turned around and went down the attic, the eldest grandson Wugou finally couldn't help but threw himself back on the bed and sobbed secretly, after all, she was only a girl under 14 years old, who was raped by her mother After scolding, I felt aggrieved.

Gao stopped in the middle of the stairs, sighed secretly, Shimin is not a bad child, Gao Changqing is also very good, she originally meant not to interfere and let her daughter make her own choice, but recently something happened at home, her younger brother Gao Shilian was arrested After being arrested and imprisoned, she suddenly realized the importance of strength and connections. For example, Li Shimin could help her younger brother Gao Shilian, but Gao Changqing could not!

In terms of family status and connections, Li Shimin is much stronger than Gao Changqing (Gao thinks), and can be of great help at critical times. Because of this, Gao changed from non-interference to Li Shimin, so just now Hearing what the servant girl said, Gao could not help worrying that her daughter's mind would be tied to Gao Changqing, so she reprimanded and warned her, and prohibited her daughter from selling embroidery, breaking her "connection" with Gao Bufan.

Just as her younger sibling Xian Yushi advised her, after her younger brother Gao Shilian is released from prison safely, she will settle Wugou's marriage with Shimin. I'm so sorry Shimin.

"Oh, my son Wugou, mother has to take care of the family and your brother, I hope you don't blame mother." Although Gao felt guilty, she still ruthlessly walked down the stairs.

People always have to bow their heads to reality!

Chunhua Square.

Gao Bufan and Hong Funu chatted while having lunch, the latter asked with bright eyes: "Third brother, how old are you now?"

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "The general of Yingyang Mansion in Zhuo County, he must be a fifth rank, not too high!"

Hongfu girl couldn't help being speechless when she heard the words, she smiled wryly and said: "The fifth rank is not high, what is high? Your second brother has been in the officialdom for half his life, and he only became a sixth rank Shanggu Juncheng when he was 17 years old, and you Only [-] years old!"

The more Hong Fu Nu said, the more she felt uncomfortable.

Gao Bufan comforted him with a smile: "Actually, the second sister-in-law doesn't have to envy the third brother. With the talent of the second brother, it's only a matter of time before he is appointed as a prime minister, so second sister-in-law, you just wait for the conferment!"

Hongfu girl was upset, and she smiled a little embarrassedly: "Accept the good words of the third brother, come, sister-in-law will offer a bowl to the third brother, and congratulate the third brother for being promoted to the fourth rank, and showing his great achievements!"
