Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl
Chapter 108 Leaving the Gu Family
Chapter 108 Leaving the Gu Family
Madam Ge's face turned red all of a sudden.
"Sister-in-law, thousands of mistakes are the result of my lax management of the family..."
"It's really your fault!" Mrs. Cui said bluntly: "Master and servant are clearly distinguished, upper and lower are respectful and strict, and the order of seniority and order can make the family prosperous. You usually dote on the second daughter-in-law, and you only focus on Sister Hua is on her own, and the other granddaughters don't care about it, so there is such a disaster."
Mrs. Ge gritted her teeth tightly, the veins on her cheeks were throbbing, but she didn't dare to say a word.
The old godly woman, Kefukezi's funeral star, has been overpowering her all these years, and now that she is old, she still won't let her go!
The more Mrs. Ge thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more she hated her, and the more she cursed in her heart.
After decades of sisters-in-law, Mrs. Cui naturally knew that the Ge family she said would not take it to heart, but she couldn't just watch the Gu family decline.There is no one in the long room, only one brother Rui is so weak, the Gu family can only rely on the second room.
She let out a long sigh, and said earnestly: "I don't usually teach them the principles and rules of being human, and if something happens, they are tortured and punished severely. This is not the way to settle down. Only Brother Rui is left in the lineage of the old man. It's also... The Gu family can be revitalized, but it still depends on you."
When she spoke, her brows were tightly furrowed, obviously in a very bad mood.
Seeing that she didn't continue this topic, Mrs. Ge hurriedly said, "How is Brother Rui? A few days ago, Mother Su said that the situation was better. Could it be that it's broken again these days?"
"The situation is very bad." Mrs. Cui said with a mournful expression, "It's good for two days, bad for three days, and I can't even get out of bed these days."
It's not just that the situation is not good, it's just a matter of life.
Thinking of the only incense in the long house was going to be cut off, thinking of this grandson who was alive with constant soup and medicine, and would die at a young age.Because her health has not improved, and she has not consummated the house for two years after marrying a daughter-in-law, let alone left any blood, her eye circles are red.
She has a tough heart and can still hold back, but Mrs. Ying couldn't help crying silently covering her face.
Gu Chongyang couldn't help being startled, why is Brother Rui so seriously ill?Why didn't she hear anything?
That's right, she has been investigating the matter of her mother's death, how can she have the energy to take care of other people's affairs?
When she just came back and went to the long room with her mother, she smelled boiled medicine and asked the maid to find out that Brother Rui was ill.
In the previous life, brother Ruida died at a young age, it is very pitiful to leave sister-in-law Rui alone.
When she got married from the eldest house, Mrs. Rui Datang was a widow, and she was afraid that her wedding would be spoiled by bad luck, so she asked the maid to send a message to congratulate her, but she never came out in the yard.
Brother Rui has been ill for so long, it must not be an acute illness, but a chronic illness.Since it is a chronic disease, it can be treated slowly.
It would be great if we could know what kind of disease Brother Rui is suffering from.The master gave her many kinds of healing methods, which no other doctors know.
Mrs. Ge heard Mrs. Ying's cry but felt like hearing the sound of nature, the title would fall on their house forever.Her grandson can finally inherit the title of title from generation to generation.
But her face became more and more worried: "Why is it so serious? Sister-in-law, didn't you invite the imperial doctor to see it? You survived the whole winter, and now it's spring and the weather is warm, so you should be able to take care of it. You must be sure Don't let those quack doctors talk nonsense."
Mrs. Cui nodded silently, said a few words absently, and went back.
When she left, a sneer flashed across Mrs. Ge's face. So what if you came from a scholarly family, the Cui family, a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River? What about your son Wen Tao and Wu Lue who passed the martial arts exam? The Gu family still falls to me It's not in the hands of me, a concubine you look down on!
When your husband dies, your son dies, and your grandson dies immediately, no matter how tough you are, no matter how capable you are, you will still live by relying on me.What's the use of chastity archway, it can't give you retirement, can't let you enjoy generations of incense after death.
All she thought about was how to suppress the elder room and Mrs. Cui in the future.
And Gu Chongyang also fell into deep thought, could she use the power of the long room?
Everyone dispersed, but Gu Chongyang was still there.
The courtyard was empty, and Gu Chongyang's presence was particularly eye-catching.
Mrs. Ge gave her a gloomy look.Aunt Sun, that bitch, was always against her when she was alive, and that bitch, fourth son, always made her angry.After Mrs. Sun died, Mrs. Shen came again. After Mrs. Shen died, the little bastard she gave birth to was actually so bold.
Fortunately, the fourth son, that bastard, was brought over by her. Now that the title has not been brought back, she will give him some sweetness first.When the title came back, she would definitely beat him back to his original form.No, how can it be possible to return to the original shape, she wants him to climb high and fall with him, and have nothing.
Mrs. Ge snorted coldly and said, "Madam Su, take Fourth Miss to the back room and teach her to Madam Jiaoyin, so that Miss Fourth can learn the rules well. If she can't learn the rules today, let her not allow her to do so today." Have a meal."
"Yes, old lady, don't worry." Su Momo looked at Gu Chongyang with a smile on her face and said, "Fourth Miss, please."
The back room is quite spacious and bright, but there is nothing inside except the bed and the table.
Jiaoyin's mother kept a straight face, staring at Gu Chongyang covetously.
Gu Chongyang's heart shuddered, and he remembered the time when he was in the He family in the Marquis of Yan'en.Madam Zha, the personal maid beside the old lady of Yan Enhou's Mansion, is a very rigid person, because she did not do well in the rules, she did not suffer less.
Of course, I also want to thank her, because of the teaching of Nanny Cha, she didn't make a fool of herself when dealing with the female relatives of Gongqing's family.
Thinking of this, Gu Chongyang became more confident, she knew those rules a long time ago, so what is there to be afraid of?
"Hello, Mammy." Gu Chongyang stepped forward slowly, without being impatient, and knelt down to pay respects: "Gu Chongyang has met Mammy, please be more considerate in the future."
A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of Sister Jiaoyin, and even Sister Su was shocked by Gu Chongyang's polite appearance, but a sneer appeared on her face after a while, and she made a gesture to Sister Jiaoyin. eyes.
Sister Jiaoyin nodded, then raised her face, raised her ruler, and slammed it on the table: "What time is this? The young lady only came here at this moment. She is clearly lazy and should be punished."
"Nurse, let me explain." Gu Chongyang saluted, and said: "I was told last night that I would move to An Rong Yuan today, and I came here early this morning without even packing my things. Greetings, old lady, by watching the family law with everyone in the family, I really didn't mean to be lazy on purpose, I hope the mother will learn from it."
"Since it wasn't intentional laziness, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Jiaoyin sternly said: "It's clear that you have no respect for your elders and acted recklessly, you should be punished!"
Gu Chongyang took a deep breath in his heart: "Mama's words are wrong, I didn't know in advance that you were going to teach me the rules, so why are you so disrespectful?"
Mother Jiaoyin didn't listen to Gu Chongyang's explanation, she pulled her face and said: "I have taught so many young ladies how to behave, you are the first one who dares to talk back like this. Just based on this, you should fight."
Gu Chongyang's heart suddenly rose to her throat. She needs to use both hands to signal the pulse, grab medicine, and make medicines to treat people. There cannot be a slight mistake in this hand.If the hand is broken, the accuracy of her pulse signal will be greatly reduced in the future. How can this be done.
She put her hands into her sleeves, pursed her lips stubbornly, unwilling to stretch out.
"Girls' hands are so important. They are used to write, calculate accounts and do needlework. Even if other girls make a mistake, it's just a spanking of the calf. How can there be such a spanking as the mother?"
"I say thugs are thugs." The teaching mother knocked the ruler heavily on the table a few times, and said in awe: "Don't be stubborn, stretch out your hands, so that Miss Jiao can learn that this first lesson is called "If you make a mistake, you must do it." fine."
Looking at Jiaoyin's vicious look, Gu Chongyang knew in his heart that destroying her hand was probably the purpose of that old godly woman.
"You fart!" She said with a sneer, "If you make a mistake, you must be punished? I'm afraid this is called a blow to power? Or is it that money can make ghosts turn mills?"
What she meant was that the sarcasm taught Mammy to deliberately beat her despite collecting money.
When Jiaoyin heard the words, her complexion suddenly fell.
"Bold!" Su Momo scolded, "The old lady specially invited Momo to teach you how to behave. Miss Si is so disrespectful. Could it be that she wants to obey the family law?"
Gu Chongyang suddenly turned his head and stared at Su Momo angrily.
Mother Su sneered and said: "Miss, you have to bow your head under the eaves. I advise you to accept the punishment obediently, otherwise you will suffer even more."
Sister Jiaoyin also laughed: "Nurse Su is right, the family is a famous family with hairpin tassels, and the disobedient lady should use family law, this is the style of a wealthy family."
After Su Momo's scolding just now, she figured it out, the Gu family didn't ask her to teach the girl, but wanted her to teach the girl a lesson!
"Being lazy is the first mistake; acting presumptuously is the second mistake; being disrespectful is the third mistake; being a woman, uttering bad words and disobeying a woman's words are the four mistakes. The four mistakes are combined and punished twenty times. "She said to Gu Chongyang unceremoniously: "Miss Si, stretch out your hand!"
What four mistakes are punished at the same time, this is clearly nitpicking.
Su Momo, the evil slave who is in a position of power, said it right just now, she had to bow her head under the eaves.Today it became clear that the old lady was going to teach her a lesson. No matter how well behaved she was, she still couldn't escape the fate of being punished.If she doesn't obediently be punished, she will be the next person to be punished by the family law.
Although the thugs will affect her pulse, but the family law may kill her.
The lesser of two evils, she can only bear these twenty rulers.Gu Chongyang took a deep breath, clenched his teeth tightly, stretched out his hand, and placed it on the table in front of him.
Su Momo was proud for a while: "Old sister, don't be merciful, our fourth young lady is really stubborn, even our old lady can't do anything about her, we really can't help but beat her."
Mother Jiaoyin also hated Gu Chongyang's taunt just now, she sneered, raised the ruler high, secretly exerted all her strength, and was about to strike down.
Just when Gu Chongyang thought that he was doomed, a heavenly voice suddenly came from the door: "Madam Su, the old lady is calling you."
Everyone turned their heads at the same time, it was Pearl, the eldest maid next to the old lady, her sudden appearance interrupted the move of teaching and guiding the nanny.
Gu Chongyang quickly withdrew his hand.
"I'll go right away." It's a pity that I didn't get to see this little girl being beaten in person, but the days ahead are long, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Su Momo said to Jiaoyin Momo: "Old sister, go ahead, I'll go back as soon as I go. Fourth Miss, you should put your hands back quickly. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Compared with Second Wife and Second Miss, you are mere twenty rulers. What counts."
But Zhenzhu said: "Madam Su, the old lady told me to let Fourth Miss go there too."
"What's going on?" Madam Su said displeasedly: "Nurse Jiaoyin is teaching Fourth Miss how to behave. What is more important than learning the rules? You wait a little while, and then go after Fourth Miss is punished." .”
Zhu Zhen shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not."
After Su Nai heard this, she immediately squinted at her, Pearl hurriedly explained: "How dare I stop Madam from teaching Fourth Young Lady how to behave, there is a guest who wants to see our Fourth Young Lady by name."
"Who is it? Don't come sooner or later, why come at this juncture?"
It is Mrs. Lu, Gu Chongyang is very sure.
Sure enough, Pearl whispered: "It's Mrs. Lu, who also said that she has something important to see our Fourth Miss. Sister, hurry up, the old lady can wait."
Su Momo stared at Gu Chongyang angrily, not giving up.
Gu Chongyang smiled: "Madam Su, Mrs. Lu is the wife of Ruizhu Academy. It doesn't matter if you stop me, but if you annoy Mrs. Lu and let her blame the Gu family and affect Mrs. Lu's view of the elder sister, Can you bear the charge?"
This fluffy sentence immediately made Mother Su realize the seriousness of the matter.How much the old lady cared about the young lady entering Ruizhu Academy, she could see it.If Madam Lu was really offended, she might be too hungry to walk around.
Mother Su cursed secretly, and said: "In this case, please invite Fourth Miss to come with me. As the saying goes, you can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day. There will be a long time to come. Naturally, there will be time for you to learn the rules. .”
"For me to learn the rules, I'm really flattered that Mammy cares so much." Gu Chongyang sneered, and went out the door first, and walked towards the upper room.
Mrs. Ge and Mrs. Da were talking with Mrs. Lu, Gu Chonghua was also there, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
"...The last time I was sick in your residence, I didn't get to appreciate Missy's piano skills. If I have a chance in the future, I must feast my ears."
The eldest lady hurriedly said: "If Madam is willing, why wait another day, I think it's just today, just let Madam teach Sister Hua's piano skills."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Chonghua's face showed a bit of anticipation.
Mrs. Lu declined and said: "As we all know, among all the gentlemen in Ruizhu Academy, Wang Jiulang is the best at playing the piano. miss?"
"Ma'am, why be so polite..." Mrs. Ge was about to continue talking, when Madam Su suddenly came in: "Old lady, madam, Mrs. Lu, Fourth Miss is here."
Mrs. Ge was very upset when she was suddenly interrupted, but because Mrs. Lu was present, she didn't show it at all on her face, but her voice was cold and lost the enthusiasm when she spoke to Mrs. Lu just now: "Let's Let her come in."
After all, Gu Chonghua didn't have enough capital, his eager expression was immediately replaced by disappointment.
Gu Chongyang came in to greet everyone, Madam Lu took her hand and said gently: "According to the days, we haven't seen each other for a year, you have grown a lot taller, you are like a big girl . How are you doing lately?"
This short sentence made Gu Chongyang feel sad.It was the first time since her mother died that someone asked her how she was doing.
She suppressed the tears in her eyes, and said in a flat voice: "Thank you Madam for remembering, the bereaved mother, the ominous body, everything is fine."
Mrs. Lu patted her hand, and comforted her softly: "In life, nine out of ten times you don't like what you want. It's been more than a year since Mrs. Fourth passed away, so you should take it seriously. Fortunately, both the old lady and the eldest lady love the younger generation This is also your blessing."
It's not just a blessing, it's a great "blessing"!Gu Chongyang sneered in his heart, but it didn't show on his face: "What madam said is that it is indeed my good fortune to be born in Gu's family."
Madam Lu and Gu Chongyang greeted each other softly, and Gu Chonghua couldn't help but tightly gripped the dress.
Since when did the fourth younger sister get so close to Mrs. Lu?Why had she never said this before?Also, what is Mrs. Lu doing here today? Could it be that she is sending an invitation letter to the fourth younger sister, asking her to take the entrance examination for Ruizhu Academy?
How can this be?She is the dignified young lady of the Gu family, the former daughter of the Marquis of Qingyang, a talented woman with both talents. She hasn't received the invitation letter yet, so why should Gu Chongyang go past her?
No, no, no.Mother said that Concubine Hui would keep one for herself, but how could it compare to the value of Ruizhu Academy personally delivering it to her door?
The fourth younger sister knew that she had been preparing for Ruizhu Academy for several years, but she never leaked a word in front of her, she really had a deep thought.She really underestimated her.
The more Gu Chonghua thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the look in his eyes looking at Gu Chongyang was even more complicated.
Gu Chonghua is not the only one who is dissatisfied?Da Furen and Madam Ge also felt very unhappy. Just now Madam Lu was very indifferent to Gu Chonghua, but now she treats Gu Chongyang as kindly and kindly as an elder to a junior. Comparing the two, they feel even more dissatisfied.
"I don't know what Madam is here today?" Mrs. Ge said, "Is it just to visit my little granddaughter?"
"Of course not." Madam Lu frowned slightly as she said, "I'm here today to ask Fourth Miss for help."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help being surprised.
Mrs. Ge said directly: "Mrs. Lu, are you joking? You are a female master of Ruizhu Academy, and the disciples you teach are either rich or famous. There are many, if you have something to do, there are many people who can help you. My little granddaughter is only a child, how can she help you?"
"The old lady doesn't know something. Right now I do have a difficult problem. No one else can help me. Only the fourth lady of your mansion may be able to help me solve the problem."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu's face was a bit worried: "Half a month ago, my husband got a strange disease, and even invited several imperial doctors, and many famous doctors outside, but always No good. Counting the days, I haven't been to the Ministry of Officials for nearly seven or eight days. I can only bring the official documents to my home. But this is not a long-term solution. If it continues like this, the condition will worsen. Wouldn't it be worrying. "
The eldest lady and Mrs. Ge looked at each other, and the eldest lady hurriedly said: "Master Lu is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the pillar of the country, and it is really worrying to be ill. However, there are many imperial physicians in the imperial hospital who have superb skills and have the art of rejuvenation. Trust me Lord Lu will surely have good fortune and a speedy recovery."
Mrs. Ge also comforted: "Ma'am, you should relax and don't get too anxious, otherwise who will take care of Mr. Lu."
"I've changed several doctors in a row, but it doesn't work. Instead, it's getting worse. How can I not be impatient?" Mrs. Lu sighed, and said sincerely, "So, today I came here to ask Fourth Miss to help me with this. "
Da furen and Mrs. Ge were even more stunned: "Mrs. Lu, are you kidding? Master Lu is ill, how can the fourth girl help, she is not an imperial physician."
"Eldest lady, old lady, how dare I make fun of my husband's body? I came here today to invite the fourth lady to treat my husband. Although the fourth lady is not an imperial doctor, her medical skills are not far behind. Please agree to my request and ask Miss Fourth to help me with this."
Madam Lu even stood up and saluted Da Furen and Madam Ge.
"How did this happen?" Da Furen hurriedly supported Madam Lu, "Ma'am, you've really broken us."
On the public, Mrs. Lu is the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the imperial order of the second rank, and after the elder master seized the title, the imperial order was also taken away from the elder lady. Now she is only a white person, how can she accept her gift?
In terms of personal matters, Mrs. Lu is the natal aunt of the eldest wife of the head of the house, Mrs. Ge. It is reasonable for Mrs. Ge to accept her gift as an elder, but Mrs. Lu is of the same generation, how can she accept this worship from her?
But Mrs. Lu's attitude was extremely firm: "Madam, Madam, my husband is suffering from illness, and I am a wife who worries day and night. Please agree to my request."
The eldest lady and Mrs. Ge were still hesitating, but the eldest lady Gu Chonghua suddenly stepped forward and said: "Mother, old lady, the life of Mrs. Lu is at stake. It is only natural for Mrs. Lu to make such a request, so you agree to Mrs. Lu's request." Bar."
"Sister Hua, why are you so confused!"
After sending Madam Lu and Gu Chongyang away, Madam Ge's first words were to express her dissatisfaction with Gu Chonghua: "The fourth girl has no medical skills at all. If Master Lu is cured, how will it end?"
After hearing this, Gu Chonghua said aggrievedly: "But Mrs. Lu just talked about that, and even knelt down to salute you. If we continue to refuse, won't it be very unreasonable?"
Gu Chonghua breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Mrs. Lu came to invite Gu Chongyang to treat his illness instead of sending Gu Chongyang an invitation letter for the entrance examination of Ruizhu Academy.
She doesn't care at all whether Gu Chongyang has medical skills or whether he can cure Lord Lu, what she cares about is that the Gu family can't offend Mrs. Lu, and can't prevent her from entering Ruizhu Academy.
"No matter how inhumane you are now, it's a hundred times worse than not being able to hand over things afterwards." Mrs. Ge said angrily, "Master Lu is a servant of the Ministry of Officials. He was only in his 40s and achieved the position of the second rank. In the future, he will have a lot to do when he enters the court to pay homage to the minister." .If the fourth girl treats him badly, how can we offend him?"
The Gu family is now in a precarious situation, and there is no answer. It is really impossible to make a mistake. But today, something like this happened, why is it not worrying?
Thinking of this moment, Mrs. Ge couldn't help scolding her beloved granddaughter: "You want to act dignified and prudent, why are you so radical today? You are so ignorant!"
Gu Chonghua's face tightened, and he also realized that he was too impatient.But she was always proud and unwilling to bow her head. After hearing the scolding, she not only did not immediately admit her mistake, but instead pursed her lips and remained silent.
When Mrs. Ge saw it, she felt angry again.How can this granddaughter become a master in the future by doing things like this?How can we help the Gu family prosper?
"Old lady, don't be angry." The eldest lady hurriedly said, "Sister Hua is young and soft-hearted. She can't refuse what others say. Her temper is not a day or two. If I had known what Mrs. Lu said today It's so pitiful, we shouldn't have called Sister Hua out, let alone her, even if I saw it, I felt uncomfortable."
As the doctor said, his eyes suddenly turned red: "When a husband is sick, it is natural for him to worry about his wife. When the master dies, there is nothing I can do. If there is any hope, let alone a sudden illness. Going to the doctor, kneeling down to beg for a doctor, even if it takes my life, I don't hesitate. It's a pity, I don't have this chance."
Mrs. Ge couldn't help feeling sad when she said this, the eldest son was already dead.Now the closest relatives to her are this pair of grandchildren, and the granddaughter is growing up, and she will go to the academy soon, and she can no longer be as happy as before.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ge wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, most of the dissatisfaction with Gu Chonghua in her heart disappeared.
"Old lady, you are worried that the Gu family offended the Lu family, but in fact, why is Sister Hua not? Madam Lu's begging, if we keep refusing to agree, I'm afraid it will make her even more angry. It's just that Sister Hua is young, without you You are so thoughtful, so you seem a little impatient." The lady said: "But in this way, Miss Hua has left a good impression on Mrs. Lu, and when she goes to Ruizhu Academy, she will be better than others If the fourth girl cured Mr. Lu by chance, wouldn't it be a good thing for our family? If it really can't be cured..."
The eldest lady snorted coldly, and said: "Mrs. Lu personally invited the person, and the sickness was treated by the fourth girl. At worst, it's all about letting the fourth girl's life pay for another life. Master Lu died, and the Lu family lost the pillar. Why don't we take care of our family?"
When she spoke, she had a stern look on her face. How could there be any sadness?
Mrs. Ge felt that what she said was very reasonable: "As expected, you are right in thinking. I have been very relieved to entrust this family to you. Over the years, you have done everything properly, and there is nothing wrong with you. Wait The title is back, Brother Rong has married a wife, you should enjoy the blessing."
"That will have to wait until Brother Rong's daughter-in-law gets married." The eldest lady said, "At that time, I will only help you raise your great-grandson, and don't care about anything else."
Mrs. Ge laughed and said, "That's right, that's right."
After finishing speaking, she sighed wistfully: "I don't know if I will live to the day when I will hold my great-grandson."
"Of course." The lady said: "As long as you take good care of your body, your great-grandson, great-grandson, and great-great-grandson will all be able to see it. Early this morning, Sister Hua personally cooked ginseng and quail nourishing soup for the old lady. It's all ready. Sister Hua, hurry up and bring the soup."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ge showed a gratified smile on her face: "Among these granddaughters, only Sister Hua is the most filial and caring to me. She is indeed the eldest granddaughter of my direct relative."
Gu Chonghua went to the kitchen, sighing in his heart that the lady is sweet and can talk.In the past, the second aunt was flattering her, and her mother, as Mrs. Hou, was unwilling to let go of her airs. Now that the second aunt was no longer noisy, the old lady finally saw the benefits of her mother.Now the third younger sister, Gu Chongzhi, is also standing in their eldest room. From now on, there will be no room for a second room in the Gu family.
Gu Chonghua was happy in his heart, and Gu Chongyang felt relieved the moment he left the gate of the Gu family.
Her plan did not fall by the wayside, Madam Lu came to rescue her as expected.Although the old lady and the eldest lady were in every possible way, they agreed in the end, thanks to Gu Chonghua's contribution from the sidelines.
After getting into the carriage of the Lu family, before Gu Chongyang could speak, Mrs. Lu said, "I came here as soon as I received your letter. If it wasn't for the private seal I carved for you, I wouldn't dare I believe you would actually ask me to help you with such a favor, the most ironic thing is that you actually gave me such a small note, really..."
Mrs. Lu shook her head as she spoke.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and she couldn't deliver the message, so she had to write the note.Just after dawn today, the pigeon was released to send the letter to Sang Wu.Although Fei Ge passed on the letter quickly and conveniently, but because of the limited space, he could not write many things, especially when Gu Chongyang wrote two notes, one for Sang Wu and one for Sang Wu to pass on to Mrs. Lu, the number of words was even less.She could only speak concisely. Not only did she not use the format of writing a letter, she even omitted her address, which was extremely rude.
Even so, Mrs. Lu still came to rescue, which moved Gu Chongyang and made him feel a little guilty: "It's really helpless to be arrogant and rude. I hope Madam will forgive me."
As she said that, she stood up to salute Mrs. Lu, but in a hurry, she forgot that she was in the carriage, and hit the roof of the carriage with a "gudong".
Mrs. Lu pulled her over, shook her head helplessly, and said, "If I was really angry, I wouldn't have come so fast and in such a hurry. What's going on, that I'm here to help you out? I heard the servant say You moved to the old lady's courtyard now?"
"It's about the elders, I can't say anything. But my wife should know a little about the situation in my family. My father is not the old lady's own. When my mother was alive, the old lady didn't like her very much. My first mother passed away. It has been more than a year now, and the old lady has never cared for me at all."
Seeing that Mrs. Lu nodded and was listening carefully, without perfunctory expression on her face, Gu Chongyang continued: "The reason why I was suddenly asked to move to An Rong Yuan is because my father is going to marry a new mistress at the end of the month. The bride is either someone else or the niece of the old lady's natal family. It is false that the old lady educated me, but it is true that she suppressed me, the widow of my ex-wife, for the sake of her niece. Let alone how the old lady treats me, I hate those who are bullied by the red and white. Evil slave, seeing that I have no mother and that I am evil to the old lady, how can there be any reason not to insult me?"
Mrs. Lu sighed: "There are a lot of gossip in the mansion. You are a little girl. It is really difficult for you to lose your mother. Even if you don't tell me, I know that your life will not be easy, but I never thought that it would be so hard." Tiandi. Anyway, you are also a young lady of the Gu family, no matter how poor you are, you can't lose your dignity and be bullied by those evil servants! Even if the old lady doesn't like you, doesn't it mean that the eldest lady doesn't care?"
Mother Qiu's betrayer begged for glory, Mother Su's bullying was too much, Gu Chongyang could only bear it, she was actually very wronged in her heart.At this moment, after hearing Mrs. Lu's concern, she felt hot and confessed all of her predicament: "They don't have time to care about me. Madam, when it comes to this, I won't hide it. If it weren't for you In time, the twenty rulers used to teach the nuns may have already fallen into my hands. A down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, but now any respectable servant can ridicule me, even beat me."
"That's not bad!" Mrs. Lu said angrily, "The Gu family is also a famous family with hairpin tassels, a century-old wealthy family, how can they lose the dignity between superiors and inferiors and masters and servants? The old lady of the long house is also the daughter of the Cui family in the south of the Yangtze River. How does she manage the house for the person who earns the honor of the chastity archway as rewarded by the Holy One?"
"Now the housekeeper is not the old lady of the long house." Gu Chongyang said: "There is no one in the long house. Now it is not easy to have a place in the Gu family. It is all supported by Mrs. Cui alone. Although she has many dissatisfaction, but Helplessly, our old lady and eldest lady don't listen at all, she also has more than enough heart but not enough energy."
"In this way, the Gu family's hundred-year-old foundation may not be guaranteed." Madam Lu shook her head, not knowing whether it was regret or dissatisfaction: "No wonder your elders lost their guards, and were attacked by someone in their sleep. I didn't believe that the Holy Majesty hated it. After hearing what you said today, I knew that the inside of the Gu family was broken long ago."
Mrs. Lu sighed, feeling a little distressed: "It's a pity that you, with such a good-looking talent and such good medical skills, lost your mother and are still dealing with those who have no rules and decency."
"Fortunately, there is someone like Madam who is so anxious and righteous to solve my urgent needs." Gu Chongyang said: "When I just returned to Beijing, I treated Madam's illness and formed a good relationship with you. This is probably the luckiest thing for me. Today Thank you Madam for your help, I will never forget your kindness. For me, you even said Mr. Lu was sick, this kindness is too deep."
Mrs. Lu said: "You are wrong."
Gu Chongyang looked up in astonishment, and saw Mrs. Lu frowning: "It's true that I rescued you, and it's true that I asked you to help me. My husband is indeed suffering from a strange disease, otherwise how could I curse my husband by myself?" ?”
"It's no wonder Madam just said in Gu's house that Mr. Lu has not been in court for many days. It turns out that Mr. Lu is really sick. I don't know what kind of illness Mr. Lu has? Is it really serious?"
"It's hard to say." Mrs. Lu shook her head, "You'll know when you go."
(End of this chapter)
Madam Ge's face turned red all of a sudden.
"Sister-in-law, thousands of mistakes are the result of my lax management of the family..."
"It's really your fault!" Mrs. Cui said bluntly: "Master and servant are clearly distinguished, upper and lower are respectful and strict, and the order of seniority and order can make the family prosperous. You usually dote on the second daughter-in-law, and you only focus on Sister Hua is on her own, and the other granddaughters don't care about it, so there is such a disaster."
Mrs. Ge gritted her teeth tightly, the veins on her cheeks were throbbing, but she didn't dare to say a word.
The old godly woman, Kefukezi's funeral star, has been overpowering her all these years, and now that she is old, she still won't let her go!
The more Mrs. Ge thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more she hated her, and the more she cursed in her heart.
After decades of sisters-in-law, Mrs. Cui naturally knew that the Ge family she said would not take it to heart, but she couldn't just watch the Gu family decline.There is no one in the long room, only one brother Rui is so weak, the Gu family can only rely on the second room.
She let out a long sigh, and said earnestly: "I don't usually teach them the principles and rules of being human, and if something happens, they are tortured and punished severely. This is not the way to settle down. Only Brother Rui is left in the lineage of the old man. It's also... The Gu family can be revitalized, but it still depends on you."
When she spoke, her brows were tightly furrowed, obviously in a very bad mood.
Seeing that she didn't continue this topic, Mrs. Ge hurriedly said, "How is Brother Rui? A few days ago, Mother Su said that the situation was better. Could it be that it's broken again these days?"
"The situation is very bad." Mrs. Cui said with a mournful expression, "It's good for two days, bad for three days, and I can't even get out of bed these days."
It's not just that the situation is not good, it's just a matter of life.
Thinking of the only incense in the long house was going to be cut off, thinking of this grandson who was alive with constant soup and medicine, and would die at a young age.Because her health has not improved, and she has not consummated the house for two years after marrying a daughter-in-law, let alone left any blood, her eye circles are red.
She has a tough heart and can still hold back, but Mrs. Ying couldn't help crying silently covering her face.
Gu Chongyang couldn't help being startled, why is Brother Rui so seriously ill?Why didn't she hear anything?
That's right, she has been investigating the matter of her mother's death, how can she have the energy to take care of other people's affairs?
When she just came back and went to the long room with her mother, she smelled boiled medicine and asked the maid to find out that Brother Rui was ill.
In the previous life, brother Ruida died at a young age, it is very pitiful to leave sister-in-law Rui alone.
When she got married from the eldest house, Mrs. Rui Datang was a widow, and she was afraid that her wedding would be spoiled by bad luck, so she asked the maid to send a message to congratulate her, but she never came out in the yard.
Brother Rui has been ill for so long, it must not be an acute illness, but a chronic illness.Since it is a chronic disease, it can be treated slowly.
It would be great if we could know what kind of disease Brother Rui is suffering from.The master gave her many kinds of healing methods, which no other doctors know.
Mrs. Ge heard Mrs. Ying's cry but felt like hearing the sound of nature, the title would fall on their house forever.Her grandson can finally inherit the title of title from generation to generation.
But her face became more and more worried: "Why is it so serious? Sister-in-law, didn't you invite the imperial doctor to see it? You survived the whole winter, and now it's spring and the weather is warm, so you should be able to take care of it. You must be sure Don't let those quack doctors talk nonsense."
Mrs. Cui nodded silently, said a few words absently, and went back.
When she left, a sneer flashed across Mrs. Ge's face. So what if you came from a scholarly family, the Cui family, a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River? What about your son Wen Tao and Wu Lue who passed the martial arts exam? The Gu family still falls to me It's not in the hands of me, a concubine you look down on!
When your husband dies, your son dies, and your grandson dies immediately, no matter how tough you are, no matter how capable you are, you will still live by relying on me.What's the use of chastity archway, it can't give you retirement, can't let you enjoy generations of incense after death.
All she thought about was how to suppress the elder room and Mrs. Cui in the future.
And Gu Chongyang also fell into deep thought, could she use the power of the long room?
Everyone dispersed, but Gu Chongyang was still there.
The courtyard was empty, and Gu Chongyang's presence was particularly eye-catching.
Mrs. Ge gave her a gloomy look.Aunt Sun, that bitch, was always against her when she was alive, and that bitch, fourth son, always made her angry.After Mrs. Sun died, Mrs. Shen came again. After Mrs. Shen died, the little bastard she gave birth to was actually so bold.
Fortunately, the fourth son, that bastard, was brought over by her. Now that the title has not been brought back, she will give him some sweetness first.When the title came back, she would definitely beat him back to his original form.No, how can it be possible to return to the original shape, she wants him to climb high and fall with him, and have nothing.
Mrs. Ge snorted coldly and said, "Madam Su, take Fourth Miss to the back room and teach her to Madam Jiaoyin, so that Miss Fourth can learn the rules well. If she can't learn the rules today, let her not allow her to do so today." Have a meal."
"Yes, old lady, don't worry." Su Momo looked at Gu Chongyang with a smile on her face and said, "Fourth Miss, please."
The back room is quite spacious and bright, but there is nothing inside except the bed and the table.
Jiaoyin's mother kept a straight face, staring at Gu Chongyang covetously.
Gu Chongyang's heart shuddered, and he remembered the time when he was in the He family in the Marquis of Yan'en.Madam Zha, the personal maid beside the old lady of Yan Enhou's Mansion, is a very rigid person, because she did not do well in the rules, she did not suffer less.
Of course, I also want to thank her, because of the teaching of Nanny Cha, she didn't make a fool of herself when dealing with the female relatives of Gongqing's family.
Thinking of this, Gu Chongyang became more confident, she knew those rules a long time ago, so what is there to be afraid of?
"Hello, Mammy." Gu Chongyang stepped forward slowly, without being impatient, and knelt down to pay respects: "Gu Chongyang has met Mammy, please be more considerate in the future."
A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of Sister Jiaoyin, and even Sister Su was shocked by Gu Chongyang's polite appearance, but a sneer appeared on her face after a while, and she made a gesture to Sister Jiaoyin. eyes.
Sister Jiaoyin nodded, then raised her face, raised her ruler, and slammed it on the table: "What time is this? The young lady only came here at this moment. She is clearly lazy and should be punished."
"Nurse, let me explain." Gu Chongyang saluted, and said: "I was told last night that I would move to An Rong Yuan today, and I came here early this morning without even packing my things. Greetings, old lady, by watching the family law with everyone in the family, I really didn't mean to be lazy on purpose, I hope the mother will learn from it."
"Since it wasn't intentional laziness, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Jiaoyin sternly said: "It's clear that you have no respect for your elders and acted recklessly, you should be punished!"
Gu Chongyang took a deep breath in his heart: "Mama's words are wrong, I didn't know in advance that you were going to teach me the rules, so why are you so disrespectful?"
Mother Jiaoyin didn't listen to Gu Chongyang's explanation, she pulled her face and said: "I have taught so many young ladies how to behave, you are the first one who dares to talk back like this. Just based on this, you should fight."
Gu Chongyang's heart suddenly rose to her throat. She needs to use both hands to signal the pulse, grab medicine, and make medicines to treat people. There cannot be a slight mistake in this hand.If the hand is broken, the accuracy of her pulse signal will be greatly reduced in the future. How can this be done.
She put her hands into her sleeves, pursed her lips stubbornly, unwilling to stretch out.
"Girls' hands are so important. They are used to write, calculate accounts and do needlework. Even if other girls make a mistake, it's just a spanking of the calf. How can there be such a spanking as the mother?"
"I say thugs are thugs." The teaching mother knocked the ruler heavily on the table a few times, and said in awe: "Don't be stubborn, stretch out your hands, so that Miss Jiao can learn that this first lesson is called "If you make a mistake, you must do it." fine."
Looking at Jiaoyin's vicious look, Gu Chongyang knew in his heart that destroying her hand was probably the purpose of that old godly woman.
"You fart!" She said with a sneer, "If you make a mistake, you must be punished? I'm afraid this is called a blow to power? Or is it that money can make ghosts turn mills?"
What she meant was that the sarcasm taught Mammy to deliberately beat her despite collecting money.
When Jiaoyin heard the words, her complexion suddenly fell.
"Bold!" Su Momo scolded, "The old lady specially invited Momo to teach you how to behave. Miss Si is so disrespectful. Could it be that she wants to obey the family law?"
Gu Chongyang suddenly turned his head and stared at Su Momo angrily.
Mother Su sneered and said: "Miss, you have to bow your head under the eaves. I advise you to accept the punishment obediently, otherwise you will suffer even more."
Sister Jiaoyin also laughed: "Nurse Su is right, the family is a famous family with hairpin tassels, and the disobedient lady should use family law, this is the style of a wealthy family."
After Su Momo's scolding just now, she figured it out, the Gu family didn't ask her to teach the girl, but wanted her to teach the girl a lesson!
"Being lazy is the first mistake; acting presumptuously is the second mistake; being disrespectful is the third mistake; being a woman, uttering bad words and disobeying a woman's words are the four mistakes. The four mistakes are combined and punished twenty times. "She said to Gu Chongyang unceremoniously: "Miss Si, stretch out your hand!"
What four mistakes are punished at the same time, this is clearly nitpicking.
Su Momo, the evil slave who is in a position of power, said it right just now, she had to bow her head under the eaves.Today it became clear that the old lady was going to teach her a lesson. No matter how well behaved she was, she still couldn't escape the fate of being punished.If she doesn't obediently be punished, she will be the next person to be punished by the family law.
Although the thugs will affect her pulse, but the family law may kill her.
The lesser of two evils, she can only bear these twenty rulers.Gu Chongyang took a deep breath, clenched his teeth tightly, stretched out his hand, and placed it on the table in front of him.
Su Momo was proud for a while: "Old sister, don't be merciful, our fourth young lady is really stubborn, even our old lady can't do anything about her, we really can't help but beat her."
Mother Jiaoyin also hated Gu Chongyang's taunt just now, she sneered, raised the ruler high, secretly exerted all her strength, and was about to strike down.
Just when Gu Chongyang thought that he was doomed, a heavenly voice suddenly came from the door: "Madam Su, the old lady is calling you."
Everyone turned their heads at the same time, it was Pearl, the eldest maid next to the old lady, her sudden appearance interrupted the move of teaching and guiding the nanny.
Gu Chongyang quickly withdrew his hand.
"I'll go right away." It's a pity that I didn't get to see this little girl being beaten in person, but the days ahead are long, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Su Momo said to Jiaoyin Momo: "Old sister, go ahead, I'll go back as soon as I go. Fourth Miss, you should put your hands back quickly. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Compared with Second Wife and Second Miss, you are mere twenty rulers. What counts."
But Zhenzhu said: "Madam Su, the old lady told me to let Fourth Miss go there too."
"What's going on?" Madam Su said displeasedly: "Nurse Jiaoyin is teaching Fourth Miss how to behave. What is more important than learning the rules? You wait a little while, and then go after Fourth Miss is punished." .”
Zhu Zhen shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not."
After Su Nai heard this, she immediately squinted at her, Pearl hurriedly explained: "How dare I stop Madam from teaching Fourth Young Lady how to behave, there is a guest who wants to see our Fourth Young Lady by name."
"Who is it? Don't come sooner or later, why come at this juncture?"
It is Mrs. Lu, Gu Chongyang is very sure.
Sure enough, Pearl whispered: "It's Mrs. Lu, who also said that she has something important to see our Fourth Miss. Sister, hurry up, the old lady can wait."
Su Momo stared at Gu Chongyang angrily, not giving up.
Gu Chongyang smiled: "Madam Su, Mrs. Lu is the wife of Ruizhu Academy. It doesn't matter if you stop me, but if you annoy Mrs. Lu and let her blame the Gu family and affect Mrs. Lu's view of the elder sister, Can you bear the charge?"
This fluffy sentence immediately made Mother Su realize the seriousness of the matter.How much the old lady cared about the young lady entering Ruizhu Academy, she could see it.If Madam Lu was really offended, she might be too hungry to walk around.
Mother Su cursed secretly, and said: "In this case, please invite Fourth Miss to come with me. As the saying goes, you can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day. There will be a long time to come. Naturally, there will be time for you to learn the rules. .”
"For me to learn the rules, I'm really flattered that Mammy cares so much." Gu Chongyang sneered, and went out the door first, and walked towards the upper room.
Mrs. Ge and Mrs. Da were talking with Mrs. Lu, Gu Chonghua was also there, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
"...The last time I was sick in your residence, I didn't get to appreciate Missy's piano skills. If I have a chance in the future, I must feast my ears."
The eldest lady hurriedly said: "If Madam is willing, why wait another day, I think it's just today, just let Madam teach Sister Hua's piano skills."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Chonghua's face showed a bit of anticipation.
Mrs. Lu declined and said: "As we all know, among all the gentlemen in Ruizhu Academy, Wang Jiulang is the best at playing the piano. miss?"
"Ma'am, why be so polite..." Mrs. Ge was about to continue talking, when Madam Su suddenly came in: "Old lady, madam, Mrs. Lu, Fourth Miss is here."
Mrs. Ge was very upset when she was suddenly interrupted, but because Mrs. Lu was present, she didn't show it at all on her face, but her voice was cold and lost the enthusiasm when she spoke to Mrs. Lu just now: "Let's Let her come in."
After all, Gu Chonghua didn't have enough capital, his eager expression was immediately replaced by disappointment.
Gu Chongyang came in to greet everyone, Madam Lu took her hand and said gently: "According to the days, we haven't seen each other for a year, you have grown a lot taller, you are like a big girl . How are you doing lately?"
This short sentence made Gu Chongyang feel sad.It was the first time since her mother died that someone asked her how she was doing.
She suppressed the tears in her eyes, and said in a flat voice: "Thank you Madam for remembering, the bereaved mother, the ominous body, everything is fine."
Mrs. Lu patted her hand, and comforted her softly: "In life, nine out of ten times you don't like what you want. It's been more than a year since Mrs. Fourth passed away, so you should take it seriously. Fortunately, both the old lady and the eldest lady love the younger generation This is also your blessing."
It's not just a blessing, it's a great "blessing"!Gu Chongyang sneered in his heart, but it didn't show on his face: "What madam said is that it is indeed my good fortune to be born in Gu's family."
Madam Lu and Gu Chongyang greeted each other softly, and Gu Chonghua couldn't help but tightly gripped the dress.
Since when did the fourth younger sister get so close to Mrs. Lu?Why had she never said this before?Also, what is Mrs. Lu doing here today? Could it be that she is sending an invitation letter to the fourth younger sister, asking her to take the entrance examination for Ruizhu Academy?
How can this be?She is the dignified young lady of the Gu family, the former daughter of the Marquis of Qingyang, a talented woman with both talents. She hasn't received the invitation letter yet, so why should Gu Chongyang go past her?
No, no, no.Mother said that Concubine Hui would keep one for herself, but how could it compare to the value of Ruizhu Academy personally delivering it to her door?
The fourth younger sister knew that she had been preparing for Ruizhu Academy for several years, but she never leaked a word in front of her, she really had a deep thought.She really underestimated her.
The more Gu Chonghua thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the look in his eyes looking at Gu Chongyang was even more complicated.
Gu Chonghua is not the only one who is dissatisfied?Da Furen and Madam Ge also felt very unhappy. Just now Madam Lu was very indifferent to Gu Chonghua, but now she treats Gu Chongyang as kindly and kindly as an elder to a junior. Comparing the two, they feel even more dissatisfied.
"I don't know what Madam is here today?" Mrs. Ge said, "Is it just to visit my little granddaughter?"
"Of course not." Madam Lu frowned slightly as she said, "I'm here today to ask Fourth Miss for help."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help being surprised.
Mrs. Ge said directly: "Mrs. Lu, are you joking? You are a female master of Ruizhu Academy, and the disciples you teach are either rich or famous. There are many, if you have something to do, there are many people who can help you. My little granddaughter is only a child, how can she help you?"
"The old lady doesn't know something. Right now I do have a difficult problem. No one else can help me. Only the fourth lady of your mansion may be able to help me solve the problem."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu's face was a bit worried: "Half a month ago, my husband got a strange disease, and even invited several imperial doctors, and many famous doctors outside, but always No good. Counting the days, I haven't been to the Ministry of Officials for nearly seven or eight days. I can only bring the official documents to my home. But this is not a long-term solution. If it continues like this, the condition will worsen. Wouldn't it be worrying. "
The eldest lady and Mrs. Ge looked at each other, and the eldest lady hurriedly said: "Master Lu is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the pillar of the country, and it is really worrying to be ill. However, there are many imperial physicians in the imperial hospital who have superb skills and have the art of rejuvenation. Trust me Lord Lu will surely have good fortune and a speedy recovery."
Mrs. Ge also comforted: "Ma'am, you should relax and don't get too anxious, otherwise who will take care of Mr. Lu."
"I've changed several doctors in a row, but it doesn't work. Instead, it's getting worse. How can I not be impatient?" Mrs. Lu sighed, and said sincerely, "So, today I came here to ask Fourth Miss to help me with this. "
Da furen and Mrs. Ge were even more stunned: "Mrs. Lu, are you kidding? Master Lu is ill, how can the fourth girl help, she is not an imperial physician."
"Eldest lady, old lady, how dare I make fun of my husband's body? I came here today to invite the fourth lady to treat my husband. Although the fourth lady is not an imperial doctor, her medical skills are not far behind. Please agree to my request and ask Miss Fourth to help me with this."
Madam Lu even stood up and saluted Da Furen and Madam Ge.
"How did this happen?" Da Furen hurriedly supported Madam Lu, "Ma'am, you've really broken us."
On the public, Mrs. Lu is the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the imperial order of the second rank, and after the elder master seized the title, the imperial order was also taken away from the elder lady. Now she is only a white person, how can she accept her gift?
In terms of personal matters, Mrs. Lu is the natal aunt of the eldest wife of the head of the house, Mrs. Ge. It is reasonable for Mrs. Ge to accept her gift as an elder, but Mrs. Lu is of the same generation, how can she accept this worship from her?
But Mrs. Lu's attitude was extremely firm: "Madam, Madam, my husband is suffering from illness, and I am a wife who worries day and night. Please agree to my request."
The eldest lady and Mrs. Ge were still hesitating, but the eldest lady Gu Chonghua suddenly stepped forward and said: "Mother, old lady, the life of Mrs. Lu is at stake. It is only natural for Mrs. Lu to make such a request, so you agree to Mrs. Lu's request." Bar."
"Sister Hua, why are you so confused!"
After sending Madam Lu and Gu Chongyang away, Madam Ge's first words were to express her dissatisfaction with Gu Chonghua: "The fourth girl has no medical skills at all. If Master Lu is cured, how will it end?"
After hearing this, Gu Chonghua said aggrievedly: "But Mrs. Lu just talked about that, and even knelt down to salute you. If we continue to refuse, won't it be very unreasonable?"
Gu Chonghua breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Mrs. Lu came to invite Gu Chongyang to treat his illness instead of sending Gu Chongyang an invitation letter for the entrance examination of Ruizhu Academy.
She doesn't care at all whether Gu Chongyang has medical skills or whether he can cure Lord Lu, what she cares about is that the Gu family can't offend Mrs. Lu, and can't prevent her from entering Ruizhu Academy.
"No matter how inhumane you are now, it's a hundred times worse than not being able to hand over things afterwards." Mrs. Ge said angrily, "Master Lu is a servant of the Ministry of Officials. He was only in his 40s and achieved the position of the second rank. In the future, he will have a lot to do when he enters the court to pay homage to the minister." .If the fourth girl treats him badly, how can we offend him?"
The Gu family is now in a precarious situation, and there is no answer. It is really impossible to make a mistake. But today, something like this happened, why is it not worrying?
Thinking of this moment, Mrs. Ge couldn't help scolding her beloved granddaughter: "You want to act dignified and prudent, why are you so radical today? You are so ignorant!"
Gu Chonghua's face tightened, and he also realized that he was too impatient.But she was always proud and unwilling to bow her head. After hearing the scolding, she not only did not immediately admit her mistake, but instead pursed her lips and remained silent.
When Mrs. Ge saw it, she felt angry again.How can this granddaughter become a master in the future by doing things like this?How can we help the Gu family prosper?
"Old lady, don't be angry." The eldest lady hurriedly said, "Sister Hua is young and soft-hearted. She can't refuse what others say. Her temper is not a day or two. If I had known what Mrs. Lu said today It's so pitiful, we shouldn't have called Sister Hua out, let alone her, even if I saw it, I felt uncomfortable."
As the doctor said, his eyes suddenly turned red: "When a husband is sick, it is natural for him to worry about his wife. When the master dies, there is nothing I can do. If there is any hope, let alone a sudden illness. Going to the doctor, kneeling down to beg for a doctor, even if it takes my life, I don't hesitate. It's a pity, I don't have this chance."
Mrs. Ge couldn't help feeling sad when she said this, the eldest son was already dead.Now the closest relatives to her are this pair of grandchildren, and the granddaughter is growing up, and she will go to the academy soon, and she can no longer be as happy as before.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ge wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, most of the dissatisfaction with Gu Chonghua in her heart disappeared.
"Old lady, you are worried that the Gu family offended the Lu family, but in fact, why is Sister Hua not? Madam Lu's begging, if we keep refusing to agree, I'm afraid it will make her even more angry. It's just that Sister Hua is young, without you You are so thoughtful, so you seem a little impatient." The lady said: "But in this way, Miss Hua has left a good impression on Mrs. Lu, and when she goes to Ruizhu Academy, she will be better than others If the fourth girl cured Mr. Lu by chance, wouldn't it be a good thing for our family? If it really can't be cured..."
The eldest lady snorted coldly, and said: "Mrs. Lu personally invited the person, and the sickness was treated by the fourth girl. At worst, it's all about letting the fourth girl's life pay for another life. Master Lu died, and the Lu family lost the pillar. Why don't we take care of our family?"
When she spoke, she had a stern look on her face. How could there be any sadness?
Mrs. Ge felt that what she said was very reasonable: "As expected, you are right in thinking. I have been very relieved to entrust this family to you. Over the years, you have done everything properly, and there is nothing wrong with you. Wait The title is back, Brother Rong has married a wife, you should enjoy the blessing."
"That will have to wait until Brother Rong's daughter-in-law gets married." The eldest lady said, "At that time, I will only help you raise your great-grandson, and don't care about anything else."
Mrs. Ge laughed and said, "That's right, that's right."
After finishing speaking, she sighed wistfully: "I don't know if I will live to the day when I will hold my great-grandson."
"Of course." The lady said: "As long as you take good care of your body, your great-grandson, great-grandson, and great-great-grandson will all be able to see it. Early this morning, Sister Hua personally cooked ginseng and quail nourishing soup for the old lady. It's all ready. Sister Hua, hurry up and bring the soup."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ge showed a gratified smile on her face: "Among these granddaughters, only Sister Hua is the most filial and caring to me. She is indeed the eldest granddaughter of my direct relative."
Gu Chonghua went to the kitchen, sighing in his heart that the lady is sweet and can talk.In the past, the second aunt was flattering her, and her mother, as Mrs. Hou, was unwilling to let go of her airs. Now that the second aunt was no longer noisy, the old lady finally saw the benefits of her mother.Now the third younger sister, Gu Chongzhi, is also standing in their eldest room. From now on, there will be no room for a second room in the Gu family.
Gu Chonghua was happy in his heart, and Gu Chongyang felt relieved the moment he left the gate of the Gu family.
Her plan did not fall by the wayside, Madam Lu came to rescue her as expected.Although the old lady and the eldest lady were in every possible way, they agreed in the end, thanks to Gu Chonghua's contribution from the sidelines.
After getting into the carriage of the Lu family, before Gu Chongyang could speak, Mrs. Lu said, "I came here as soon as I received your letter. If it wasn't for the private seal I carved for you, I wouldn't dare I believe you would actually ask me to help you with such a favor, the most ironic thing is that you actually gave me such a small note, really..."
Mrs. Lu shook her head as she spoke.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and she couldn't deliver the message, so she had to write the note.Just after dawn today, the pigeon was released to send the letter to Sang Wu.Although Fei Ge passed on the letter quickly and conveniently, but because of the limited space, he could not write many things, especially when Gu Chongyang wrote two notes, one for Sang Wu and one for Sang Wu to pass on to Mrs. Lu, the number of words was even less.She could only speak concisely. Not only did she not use the format of writing a letter, she even omitted her address, which was extremely rude.
Even so, Mrs. Lu still came to rescue, which moved Gu Chongyang and made him feel a little guilty: "It's really helpless to be arrogant and rude. I hope Madam will forgive me."
As she said that, she stood up to salute Mrs. Lu, but in a hurry, she forgot that she was in the carriage, and hit the roof of the carriage with a "gudong".
Mrs. Lu pulled her over, shook her head helplessly, and said, "If I was really angry, I wouldn't have come so fast and in such a hurry. What's going on, that I'm here to help you out? I heard the servant say You moved to the old lady's courtyard now?"
"It's about the elders, I can't say anything. But my wife should know a little about the situation in my family. My father is not the old lady's own. When my mother was alive, the old lady didn't like her very much. My first mother passed away. It has been more than a year now, and the old lady has never cared for me at all."
Seeing that Mrs. Lu nodded and was listening carefully, without perfunctory expression on her face, Gu Chongyang continued: "The reason why I was suddenly asked to move to An Rong Yuan is because my father is going to marry a new mistress at the end of the month. The bride is either someone else or the niece of the old lady's natal family. It is false that the old lady educated me, but it is true that she suppressed me, the widow of my ex-wife, for the sake of her niece. Let alone how the old lady treats me, I hate those who are bullied by the red and white. Evil slave, seeing that I have no mother and that I am evil to the old lady, how can there be any reason not to insult me?"
Mrs. Lu sighed: "There are a lot of gossip in the mansion. You are a little girl. It is really difficult for you to lose your mother. Even if you don't tell me, I know that your life will not be easy, but I never thought that it would be so hard." Tiandi. Anyway, you are also a young lady of the Gu family, no matter how poor you are, you can't lose your dignity and be bullied by those evil servants! Even if the old lady doesn't like you, doesn't it mean that the eldest lady doesn't care?"
Mother Qiu's betrayer begged for glory, Mother Su's bullying was too much, Gu Chongyang could only bear it, she was actually very wronged in her heart.At this moment, after hearing Mrs. Lu's concern, she felt hot and confessed all of her predicament: "They don't have time to care about me. Madam, when it comes to this, I won't hide it. If it weren't for you In time, the twenty rulers used to teach the nuns may have already fallen into my hands. A down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, but now any respectable servant can ridicule me, even beat me."
"That's not bad!" Mrs. Lu said angrily, "The Gu family is also a famous family with hairpin tassels, a century-old wealthy family, how can they lose the dignity between superiors and inferiors and masters and servants? The old lady of the long house is also the daughter of the Cui family in the south of the Yangtze River. How does she manage the house for the person who earns the honor of the chastity archway as rewarded by the Holy One?"
"Now the housekeeper is not the old lady of the long house." Gu Chongyang said: "There is no one in the long house. Now it is not easy to have a place in the Gu family. It is all supported by Mrs. Cui alone. Although she has many dissatisfaction, but Helplessly, our old lady and eldest lady don't listen at all, she also has more than enough heart but not enough energy."
"In this way, the Gu family's hundred-year-old foundation may not be guaranteed." Madam Lu shook her head, not knowing whether it was regret or dissatisfaction: "No wonder your elders lost their guards, and were attacked by someone in their sleep. I didn't believe that the Holy Majesty hated it. After hearing what you said today, I knew that the inside of the Gu family was broken long ago."
Mrs. Lu sighed, feeling a little distressed: "It's a pity that you, with such a good-looking talent and such good medical skills, lost your mother and are still dealing with those who have no rules and decency."
"Fortunately, there is someone like Madam who is so anxious and righteous to solve my urgent needs." Gu Chongyang said: "When I just returned to Beijing, I treated Madam's illness and formed a good relationship with you. This is probably the luckiest thing for me. Today Thank you Madam for your help, I will never forget your kindness. For me, you even said Mr. Lu was sick, this kindness is too deep."
Mrs. Lu said: "You are wrong."
Gu Chongyang looked up in astonishment, and saw Mrs. Lu frowning: "It's true that I rescued you, and it's true that I asked you to help me. My husband is indeed suffering from a strange disease, otherwise how could I curse my husband by myself?" ?”
"It's no wonder Madam just said in Gu's house that Mr. Lu has not been in court for many days. It turns out that Mr. Lu is really sick. I don't know what kind of illness Mr. Lu has? Is it really serious?"
"It's hard to say." Mrs. Lu shook her head, "You'll know when you go."
