Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl

Chapter 119 The imperial decree arrives, the title returns
Gu Chongyang went to the mourning hall, and Gu Zhanyun had already been buried.
Seeing Gu Zhanyun's coffin, Gu Chongyang's heart was full of joy.
He killed his mother, and he finally died.
She wished she could cut him into pieces and let him die from torture. It's a pity that she is weak and can only kill him through such schemes.
If he died, the fourth master's official position would not be guaranteed, so my mother could rest in peace.
The revenge has been avenged, so what should she do?
Her daily routine is to walk around the mourning hall wearing filial piety clothes in the morning and evening, and then go to greet Mrs. Ge once again.
Jia Banxian came here at noon on the third day, and by the time Gu Chongyang went to greet Madam Ge on the fourth morning, rumors and rumors were already flying everywhere.
Some said that the newly married fourth wife had a very hard character and offended the third master.Some said that the third master's body was too weak, and no one else had collided with it. It was because the zodiac signs of the new wife and the third master's zodiac signs were incompatible.Some people say that the new wife is a bastard, and this is just the beginning of killing the third master, and she will kill others in the future...
There are different opinions and no consensus.
However, in just one night, there are several versions, but no matter which one it is, it shows that the death of the third master is inseparable from Ge Bilian.
In the previous life, Ge Bilian flattered and flattered the old lady, relying on the fact that she was the old lady's niece of the mother's family, she was arrogant and arrogant, and she had no scruples about abusing herself.In this life, this kind of thing happened to her just after entering the house. Gu Chongyang wants to see if the old lady will still love her like before?
Thinking this way in my heart, Gu Chongyang has already arrived at An Rong Yuan.
Mrs. Ge had only two sons, the eldest son Gu Zhanpeng died last year, unexpectedly the younger son Gu Zhanyun, who was always weak, also left her.
She was greatly shocked, and fell ill the day she learned of Gu Zhanyun's sudden death.In addition to the eldest wife Hao who will preside over the funerals of Mrs. Zhongxian and Zhang Luo, the second wife Fei and the fourth wife Ge Bilian are both serving at the bedside, and they all want to take this opportunity to let the old lady see their filial piety.
The third master passed away, and the old lady was sad and had to recuperate from her illness. People in the Anrong courtyard wanted to walk on tiptoe, for fear that they would be punished by the old lady for taking a wrong step. After all, two days ago, a maid and two wives had I was slapped on the board for being careless.
The courtyard was quiet, and there were maids and servants standing under the verandah, all of them stood with lowered eyebrows, eyes lowered and hands down, the atmosphere was very depressing.
As soon as Gu Chongyang walked down the steps of the main room, he heard anxious excuses and Mrs. Ge's angry scolding from inside.
It seems that Mrs. Ge's illness is not serious. I don't know what happened here to make the old lady so angry. Could it be related to Ge Bilian?
Thinking in this way, Gu Chongyang had already stepped up the steps quickly, and there was a sudden "bang" sound in the main room, as if something had fallen on the ground. Before Gu Chongyang could react, the soft curtain moved, and a woman in filial piety She ran out with a straight face, and ran into Gu Chongyang head-on.
"Ouch!" The woman didn't expect someone standing at the door, so she opened her mouth and scolded, "Are you blind?"
Saying that, she let go of her hand, and glared at Gu Chongyang angrily.
It was Ge Bilian, the circles of her eyes were red, the tears in her eyes were still wet, it was obvious that she had just cried a lot.
The moment she saw clearly that the person who came was Gu Chongyang, her blushing face turned pale in an instant.
Once again, Gu Chongyang saw himself in a mess.
Gu Chongyang's face was calm and unwavering, and there was peace between his brows. He looked at her as if looking at an irrelevant stranger, five points of scrutiny, three points of indifference, and two points of contempt.
This look made Ge Bilian angry.
She is Gu Chongyang's stepmother, shouldn't she greet her when she sees her?What kind of look does she have?
It has been three or four days since she entered the house, except that Gu Chongyang went to the Rongdong Courtyard once when he met his relatives the next day, but she didn't go to pay her respects once in the next few days.Is there a stepdaughter like her?It's really worthy of being born by that lowly merchant woman of the Shen family, but she has no manners and upbringing.
She must have been too kind, that's why Gu Chongyang pushed his nose and face like this.
Ge Bilian's face gradually became serious, and her eyes were also very unfriendly: "Miss Fourth..."
She just opened her mouth to say these three words, but Gu Chongyang passed her without even looking at her, lifted the curtain, and walked into the main room.
Ge Bilian fell on her back in anger!
If it was just a guess just now, now she has confirmed that this stepdaughter really does not take her seriously, so what's the matter?The children left by the stepmother and the first wife have always been against each other. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. She has just entered the door, and Gu Chongyang dared to despise her like this. Wouldn't she be able to restrain her in the future?It's worth it.
Ge Bilian was furious, and didn't care to cry, she immediately wanted to catch up with Gu Chongyang to argue, but when her fingers touched the soft curtain, her momentum softened involuntarily.
She went to take care of the old lady with good intentions, but unexpectedly she was reprimanded.
The old lady's anger and sarcastic remarks made her at a loss, and the second lady's provocation and falling into the well made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.
The always gentle lady became extremely indifferent, not only standing by and even implying that the death of the third master was hit by her.And the fourth master, who was so gentle, refined and considerate before, didn't even say a word to help the old lady when she was angry.Not only watched the old lady speak badly to her, but also made her retreat quickly.
How could she escape like this before she could say clearly?If she left, wouldn't it be true that the third master was killed by her?Of course she had to argue with reason and explain the matter clearly. Unexpectedly, she just called out "Old Madam", and the old lady would drop the blue and white teacup on the Kang table to her feet. If she hadn't hid Soon, the hot tea was about to be splashed on her.
If in the past when she was not married in her natal family, she would have given up and left. Why should she suffer so much?But today, not only could she not leave, but she had to go up to ask the old lady how she was doing.Unexpectedly, the moment she got close to the old lady, the old lady pushed her away without saying a word, and even snarled at her fiercely: "Get out of here quickly, you killed me, Yun'er, and you want to kill me?" Can't kill me? Get out of here!"
In front of a room full of sisters-in-law and servants, being scolded by the old lady shamelessly like this, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't stay any longer, and could only run out crying, that's why she bumped into Gu Chongyang. .
It's all right for the old lady to be angry with her, but Gu Chongyang, a dead girl, dares to look down on her?
Anger and sadness filled her heart again.
"Ma'am." Mother Ge grabbed Ge Bilian: "The third master is newly mourned, the old lady is sad, coupled with the instigation of caring people, I will naturally misunderstand you, let's go back first, now is not the time to be brave."
Why doesn't she know that now is not the time to be brave, but it is not so easy for her to swallow this breath.She couldn't do anything to the old lady, but it was more than enough to punish Gu Chongyang, a young girl.
Ge Bilian's face was gloomy, she gritted her teeth and said to Mammy Ge: "Mammy is right, let's go back first, you leave someone here to wait, when Miss Fourth comes out, let her meet me in Rongdongyuan."
This fourth young lady looked silent, but she didn't seem like a man to handle at all. Even if she kept someone, if she didn't want to go, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
But right now, Ge Bilian is angry, even though Ge Momo understands it in her heart, she dare not say it out loud.She had no choice but to follow Ge Bilian: "Madam said, let's go back first, I will let the little girl wait here."
Ge Bilian just left.
The living room of Mrs. Ge in Anrongyuan was miserable.Mrs. Ge was half lying on the bed, leaning against the lead pillow in a dejected state.Her face was gray and swollen, her eyes were red and swollen, and the white hair on her head was particularly obvious. In just a few days, she aged ten years.It could be seen that Gu Zhanyun's death hit her hard.
Gu Chongyang still underestimated the importance of the third master in Madam Ge's heart.That was her son, the flesh that fell from her body. She was clever, cute, and extremely intelligent since she was a child. She almost lost her life because she accidentally took the poison that Mrs. Ge gave to Aunt Sun. Although the treatment was timely, her life was saved. However, his ears were deaf and his body was broken, so he needed to take medicine all year round.It's been a long time, and I can't even speak.
Mrs. Ge loves the third master Gu Zhanyun, which also contains guilt.It never occurred to her that her youngest son would die without warning, and he would still die in a woman's belly.She must cut that bitch who seduced Yun'er into pieces, otherwise it will be difficult to dispel the hatred in her heart.
Mrs. Ge gritted her teeth, her hatred hard to subdue: "Fourth brother, didn't I ask you to fetch him yesterday? Why didn't you bring that bitch?"
Although the fourth master Gu Zhanming regards fame and wealth as his life, but he and the fourth wife Shen have been in love for more than ten years. Even if they use too much sincerity, they can't be slapped in the face like this.The third master disregarded the brotherhood, and doing such a thing against human relations was obviously humiliating him, but any bloody man could not bear this tone.Although driven by interests, the fourth master chose to compromise, but this does not mean that he does not hate the third master in his heart.
He hated it, just like Gu Chongyang, he wished that the third master would die soon.
He didn't dare to do anything to the third master, so he could only bury his hatred in his heart.After all, although that matter was mysterious, how many people knew about it.The eldest wife Hao Shi, the second wife Fei Shi, and the second master Gu Zhanyun all know it clearly, even the mother Su in the old lady's room, and other confidantes around the insider, probably know the same.
When he faced these people, although his face was calm as usual, his heart was extremely tormented.Every time he would feel that those people looked at him like needles in his eyes, making him restless.
Now that the third master is dead and he has married a new wife, those unbearable past events will naturally disappear.It was too late for him to be happy, and it was too late to thank the woman in the brothel, so how could he sincerely pursue it.
"Old lady, I went to the Folding Flower Building, and the bustard said that the man had been redeemed by the tea merchants in Jiangxi, and he was no longer from their place."
"What about the tea merchants in Jiangxi? Have you found them?"
"No." The fourth master shook his head, and said weakly: "I went to the Jiangxi Guild Hall, and after inquiring about it, I found out that the tea merchant boarded a boat from Tongzhou and went south from Tongzhou on the day of the third brother's accident. Where is there?"
Not to mention that he really didn't find it, even if he found it, he wouldn't bring him back, and he might even make him run away for his life.
"Waste, waste, waste!" Mrs. Ge was so angry that her face was livid, and she patted the small table on the kang heavily, making a "bang bang bang" sound: "You can't do this well, what is the difference between you and a waste You wolf-hearted bastards, do you think that the Gu family is yours after Yun’er dies? You’re dreaming! Dreaming!”
Mrs. Ge was so sad and angry that she lost all reason, and she would scold anyone who caught her.
The fourth master knelt on the ground and didn't dare to defend himself, as if he was resigned, but Gu Chongyang saw him clenching his teeth, and the flesh on both sides of his cheeks was also throbbing, clearly suppressing his anger.
"And you!" Mrs. Ge stared at the eldest lady fiercely, and said with gritted teeth, "As the head of the Gu family, how did you manage the inner house, and let such villains sneak into the mansion? Is it a dead person?"
The eldest lady didn't try to defend herself after hearing this, she just said aggrievedly: "Old lady calm down, it's the daughter-in-law's fault, the daughter-in-law must take good care of the inner house in the future, the old lady must take care of herself. The elder master has gone, and the third brother has also gone, now The Gu family can only rely on you to support it, if you get angry, what should we do?"
Hmph, she had already guessed that Gu Zhanyun, that lustful hungry ghost, would die at the hands of a woman one day.This inhuman bastard, before getting married, all the maids in the mansion with serious eyebrows and eyes could not escape his clutches.Not only did the old lady ignore him, but she let him go, and she loved him so much that she asked someone to make nourishing soup every day to nourish his body.
The big maids around the old lady had already pointed at the boy, and seeing that he was going to get married in a few days, he insisted on ruining her two days before she got married. In the master's house.
It took her a lot of effort to suppress that matter.
After he got married, he suddenly seemed to be a different person. He was no longer interested in the maid, and even took advantage of the third wife's serious illness to drag the third wife's cousin who came to visit her to bed.At that time, the Gu family was in full swing, and the third wife's natal family was just a small official, so she didn't dare to compete with the Gu family. However, the third wife's cousin was pregnant and wanted to come in to be the third master's child.The third master is a master who forgets once he gets it, and he doesn't care at all, but the old lady said that it was the third wife's cousin who was indiscreet, so she disagreed anyway.
The third lady's cousin had to have an abortion and married to the south.Half a year later, the third wife also died.It is said that he died of illness, but in fact he was tortured to death by the third master.
Since then, Gu Zhanyun, a bastard, has gotten worse. First, he defiled the second master's concubine, who is Gu Chongzhi's biological mother. Women hook up, even women who are married and have children.
The old lady never said anything wrong with her son. When she mentioned it, she said that those women seduced Gu Zhanyun.What can she say as a sister-in-law?It's just helping Gu Zhanyun wipe his ass and clean up the mess.Unexpectedly, Gu Zhanyun stretched out his hand to Shen's body, Shen's is the dignified wife of the Fourth Master, Gu Zhanyun is not even as good as an animal.
Unexpectedly, Shen Shi looked gentle and had such a strong personality, she would choose to commit suicide, but everyone was dead, the old lady still didn't let her go, poured dirty water all over her body, and put a hat on her .But Gu Zhanyun, the instigator, is still at large in wealth and prosperity.
Fortunately, the fourth master values fame over the relationship between husband and wife. If not, wouldn't the Gu family become the laughing stock of the entire capital if the matter got publicized?
Gu Zhanyun finally died, and she no longer had to clean up his mess.
Mrs. Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
She was happy in her heart, but her face became more and more sad: "Old lady, our family is counting on you, you must take care of yourself. Although the eldest master and the third master have passed away one after another, you still have us, and Brother Rong Son."
Now the only ones who are related to the old lady by blood are Sister Hua and Brother Rong. Without Gu Zhanyun, Brother Rong is the only descendant of the Gu family.
The anger in Mrs. Ge's heart receded, and sadness surged up all of a sudden, she cried resignedly and said, "Yes, I still have Brother Rong..."
Mrs. Ge was crying very sadly, but Gu Chongyang felt his teeth were cold when he saw it.Your son is also dead, and there is only one grandson left. Naturally, you love Gu Zhengrong as much as an eyeball.But you set a murderous hand on the head of the house, Brother Rui, and wanted to kill Brother Rui, how could you know that what happened today is not the retribution for your evil deeds!
Evil is rewarded with evil, and good is rewarded with good. It’s not that the time has not yet come.You have done so much evil, and this retribution has only just begun!
The female relatives in the room cried with headaches, and Gu Chonghua, Gu Chongzhi, and Gu Chongzhu also had red eye circles. Gu Chongyang lowered his head and wiped the non-existent tears with a handkerchief, thinking that all this had nothing to do with her.
Madam Su came in suddenly, her voice was a bit tense: "Madam, old lady, butler Wan is here, he said that there is a decree from the palace, and the eunuch who made the decree is already waiting in the front hall of the front yard, let the family go up and down People wait to burn incense and change clothes to prepare to receive the order."
Imperial decree, how could there be an imperial decree at this time?
Everyone in the room was shocked by this news, Madam Ge was even more disturbed, obviously shocked.
"Old lady, don't worry." The eldest lady Hao grasped Mrs. Ge's hand, her voice was calm, with a hint of joy on her face: "Two days ago, Mrs. Xin Guogong sent someone to bring a letter, saying that the emperor has agreed The title has been returned to our family. Because you were sad about the third brother, my daughter-in-law didn’t have time to tell you. Today’s imperial decree is probably the decree for restoring the title.”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room was in an uproar.
Mrs. Ge looked nervous and asked incredulously, "Is it true?"
Su Momo hurried forward and couldn't help saying, "It should be right. Madam, Housekeeper Wan said that the one who came was Eunuch Mo who is next to the emperor. He was very polite and said that it was a good thing!"
"That's it!" Mrs. Ge swept away the fatigue just now, with a smile on her face, grabbed the lady's hand and said, "Help me up quickly to take a shower and change clothes, let Wan Rong go to greet Mo Gonggong, and you, don't I'm standing here, so hurry back and change your clothes. Our Gu family will be rich and prosperous for another hundred years."
Second Madam Fei said with a smile: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady, this is a great joy, the title is back, we are the Qingyang Houfu again."
She smiled happily and spoke cheerfully. People who didn't know thought that the person who was about to inherit the title was her son Gu Mingxi.
The happier the second lady laughed, the more she hated her.The eldest lady's son is going to become the Marquis of Qingyang, won't the Gu family have no room for a second wife in the future?
The corners of her mouth were raised high, but her eyes were gloomy.
Gu Chonghua and Gu Chongzhi looked at each other, and they saw joy in each other's eyes. Gu Chongzhu also had a hint of complacency on his face, happy that he was able to become the daughter of the Hou family again.
Gu Chongyang also laughed, she laughed at these people's indifference, and now that they have titles, Gu Zhanyun's death is nothing. He was miserable just now, but now he is full of laughter.She even laughed at their ignorance and ignorance. They thought that they would return to the Gu family with wealth and honor, but they didn't realize that this was just their wishful thinking.
After a meal, all members of the Gu family gathered in the front hall with new clothes. Gu Zhengrong was even more proud. Although he deliberately suppressed it, everyone could see that the corners of his mouth were raised, his eyebrows were beaming, and he was happy. restrain yourself.Soon, he will become the Marquis of Qingyang. From now on, the Gu family will be his world, and he will do whatever he says. How can he be unhappy?
And Gu Weirui, the eldest young master of the long room who had been bedridden for a long time, also came. Mrs. Ge couldn't help being stunned for a moment when she saw him. She never thought that Gu Weirui looked so good, and he was clearly about to recover.When she thought that all the people she put in the long room disappeared a few days ago, and even Gu Weirui's nanny Wei Weimao had no news, her heart became a little heavy, and the eyes she looked at Gu Weirui were like knives.
This short-lived ghost!Why are you still alive?Hmph, after today, when Brother Rong takes the title, we must find a way to remove this stumbling block for Brother Rong.As long as Gu Weirui survives, his threat to his second wife will exist as long as he lives.
Gu Chongyang has been secretly observing Mrs. Ge, and naturally saw her fierce eyes, and Mrs. Cui, the head room, also paid attention to Mrs. Ge just like Gu Chongyang.After seeing Mrs. Ge's eyes, she couldn't help but turn cold.
Everyone arrived, and under the leadership of the old lady of the house, everyone in the Gu family knelt down to accept the order.
Eunuch Mo's shrill voice came to mind in the tall and spacious front hall of the Gu family: "By God, the emperor ordered: the late Zhongyong first-class Duke Gu Bai was the pillar of the court, the pillar of the family and the country. The spirit of death will last forever. To preserve the favor and inherit heredity, it is a system of encouragement from the imperial court. It specially ordered his eldest grandson Gu Weirui to attack Qingyanghou, and was named Zhengwude Cavalry Captain. .May Erqin conquer the family, serve the country, and do not owe my kindness, this is my admiration!"
Although Eunuch Mo's voice is high-pitched, his enunciation is very clear. In addition, everyone in the Gu family knelt on the ground to receive the decree respectfully, so there is no noise at all, and a needle can be heard falling on the ground. Therefore, the content of the decree is clear Clearly spread to everyone's ears.
Mrs. Ge suddenly raised her head, her face paled in shock: "Eunuch Mo, you... you just said in the imperial decree that the title will be passed on to the grandson of the first-class Duke Zhongyong?"
The first-class Zhongyong is the title of the old man Changfang Bai, and the title of the old man Cifangdong is the second-class Chengen.
Mrs. Ge was fully expecting the title to fall to Gu Zhengrong, but she did not expect that the person who claimed the title would be Gu Weirui.
Eunuch Mo didn't answer, but said: "Which one is the new Marquis of Qingyang, come and accept the order."
Gu Weirui knelt behind Gu Zhengrong, a little weak and inconspicuous, but at the moment he was not panicked at all, and said loudly: "My minister Gu Weirui accepts the order."
Eunuch Mo held the imperial decree into Gu Weirui's hands, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Marquis of Qingyang for taking the title, don't forget to enter the palace tomorrow to thank you."
"Thank you Mo Nei for the reminder." Gu Weirui stood up, he was tall, a full head taller than Eunuch Mo.
A flash of surprise flashed in Mo Gonggong's eyes, he did not expect Gu Weirui to be so tall despite looking thin.
Eunuch Mo smiled: "Since there is nothing wrong, the servant will leave."
Fourth Master Gu Zhanming hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'll see off Eunuch."
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Mo suddenly stopped and said, "Didn't the fourth master take up a post in the Imperial Academy these days?"
The fourth master hurriedly said: "Yes, at first, the married woman asked for three days' leave. Unexpectedly, the third brother passed away before the marriage leave was over. I have already gone to the Ministry of Officials to extend my leave for half a month, and I have indeed not been to the Imperial Academy these days. Attendant Mo Nei Ask, is there something wrong?"
"Fourth Master, although I am a servant, I have also heard of the principle of self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace. You are from the top two ranks of Jinshi, and you are also a servant of the Imperial Academy. You must know better than slaves."
The fourth master was surprised, he didn't know how Eunuch Mo would say such a thing.
Before he could react, Eunuch Mo's voice reached his ears again: "A loving father can be filial to a daughter, and the poison of a tiger does not eat its sons. The emperor has three princes and three princesses under his knees, which is too little. There are only two daughters, how can you push one of them out of the door? Now that the papers of impeachment against you have been piled up half a foot high, the emperor is very disappointed, saying that this is the reason for being a father? I am afraid there is some misunderstanding in this matter. , has been checked by someone. Since it is your own flesh and blood, it is not good to live outside, or you should take it back. Otherwise..."
For the rest, Eunuch Mo didn't say all of them, and some words are more appropriate to stop.
Gu Zhanming was struck by lightning when he heard the words, and he didn't recover for a long time.
In fact, the change of the person who attacked the noble took place today, and he had nothing to do with his high-spirited attitude.Because no matter who the Gu family takes the title of, he is already the master of Hanlin, and Mrs. Cui, the head of the family, is fair and modest. As long as he behaves well, she will definitely support him.Right now, Mrs. Ge, the aunt, is defeated, and no one will restrain him in the future, so it's too late for him to be happy.How can you care about their lives?
But what he never expected was that Eunuch Mo would say such a thing.
What exactly is going on?Wasn't Yao Zhenzhen sent away by Chongyang?How could those censors who know how to make troubles when they have nothing to do know that Yao Zhen really exists?They took the opportunity to attack and impeach him, what would the emperor think of him, would he dismiss him as an official because of his lack of personal morality?
In just one breath, Gu Zhanming, the fourth master, had already skipped seven or eight thoughts in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more ugly his face became.
Seeing that he was stunned, Gu Weirui quickly put the imperial decree on the tray in front of the incense table next to him respectfully, and said with a smile: "Let me give it to Eunuch."
As soon as Eunuch Mo and Gu Weirui walked out, the eldest lady Hao's tears burst out: "Old lady, what... what's going on? Isn't our brother Rong the title? How could it be Gu Weirui? "
Her voice was very sharp, her eyes were fierce, and her face was flushed, she was completely different from her gentle and generous image in the past.
Mrs. Ge was even more shocked than she was. She got up from the ground, pointed at Mrs. Changfang's lips and asked tremblingly: "Mrs. Cui! You are so vicious. It's your fault, it must be your fault!"
Mrs. Cui's face was serious, and she said in a solemn tone: "Ge Shi, thunder, rain and dew are all due to the grace of the king. The emperor's grace returned the title to our Gu family. How can you hold resentment! The eldest wife is the first wife, and the second wife is the concubine." , All prosperity, all losses, this title was originally owned by the head of the family, but it was loaned to the second house for a few years, now our head house gets the title back, why not?"
As she said that, Mrs. Cui's eyes swept over everyone, and her tone was indescribably majestic: "The old lady of the second room is depressed and confused because of the third master, you juniors should persuade her, absolutely not!" Let her talk nonsense, if anyone dares to say such disrespectful words again, don't blame me for being rude!"
The words left everyone speechless.
Gu Chonghua's face was panicked, he looked left and right, and dared not speak.Gu Chongzhi stood beside her tightly without saying a word.
The second lady's complexion was very complicated, with a look of complacency and panic at the same time.
Gu Zhengrong's face turned pale, as if he had suffered a great blow and was on the verge of falling.
The eldest lady is as if mourning, her face is haggard, her eyes are wide open, her mouth is wide open, she wants to speak, but it seems like someone is strangling her neck, and there is only a "cluck" in her throat, but she can't utter a word .
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Mrs. Cui said, "It's all gone. Go back and change your clothes. Now the Gu family is still doing funerals. As soon as this new title comes out, there will be more people coming to mourn tomorrow. Peng Brothers and daughters-in-law should handle it carefully, don't be unprepared, and lose the dignity of our Qingyanghou Mansion."
The eldest lady Hao Shi was speechless, mechanically blessing her body to show that she knew.
Those who know the current affairs are brilliant, and Mrs. Hao's response is really fast.
Gu Chongyang couldn't help but secretly nodded.
Mrs. Cui walked out with the support of Nanny Ding, but Mrs. Ge suddenly shouted sharply: "Cui Yun, you have robbed us of the title of second wife, you will die, I will fight with you! "
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Chongyang rushed to stop her, but before she got close, Madam Ge's body suddenly went limp, and she passed out.
The eldest lady, Hao Shi, was already in a daze. Thanks to the second wife, Fei Shi, who had a good eye for the old lady, she quickly supported her.
But no one dared to move, they were frightened by the old lady's actions just now.Now that the second house no longer has a title, if the old lady utters such wild words and insults the old lady of the long house, who knows if the old lady of the long house will be furious?
Although the old lady of the first room was angry, she did not vent her anger. She said: "Bring the old lady of the second room back to the house, and ask the imperial doctor to treat her. You can do whatever you have to do. Especially the fourth child, just now, Eunuch Mo If you tell me, you should hurry up and do it. Eunuch Mo is the No.1 around the emperor, and his words are the words of the emperor."
After speaking, she turned and left without looking at the crowd.Gu Chongyang and Nanny Ding supported her from left to right.
Others were relieved that the old lady Changfang didn't lose her temper, and felt that the old lady Changfang was still as talkative as before.
Everyone dispersed, only the fourth master was still standing dumbfounded, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
Gu Chongyang!
It must be Gu Chongyang's tricks, otherwise how could this matter have reached the emperor's ears.
The fourth master gritted his teeth angrily, looked at Gu Chongyang's leaving back, raised his foot and wanted to catch up with Gu Chongyang to make a theory.
But someone behind him grabbed his clothes.
He turned around and met Ge Bilian's sharp questioning eyes: "Master Si, what did the eunuch mean just now? Don't you only have Miss Si and one daughter under your knees? What does the other daughter mean?"
Ge Bilian's tone was very anxious, her face was ugly, and she was faintly blue.
After all, she is a newlywed wife, and the fourth master is naturally obedient, but right now the fourth master is distracted and can't take care of himself, so he doesn't have the energy to take care of her thoughts, so he perfunctoryly said: "I will tell you about this matter in another day, Right now I have more important things to do, you go back to the Rongdong Courtyard first."
As he spoke, he broke Ge Bilian's hand, turned around and left.
Ge Bilian's originally blue face suddenly turned white. She thought she was marrying a beloved man, but she didn't want him to be cowardly and incompetent to stand up when she encountered unfair treatment, and he didn't even tell her the truth.
How could she be so miserable!Married to this kind of person?
Ge Bilian's eyes were sore, and she wanted to cry, so she choked up and called out: "Fourth Master."
Her cry was really useful, the fourth master really stopped, turned around and walked to her side.
Ge Bilian was overjoyed, almost bursting into tears and laughing: "Fourth Lord, what did the eunuch say?"
Unexpectedly, the Fourth Master didn't hear her words at all, but frowned and said: "By the way, the title has now fallen to Brother Rui, so hurry up and prepare a gift to send to the eldest room. Our fourth room doesn't have many people now. Now that the money is gone, let it come out of your dowry, and I will make it up to you when my salary comes down in a few days."
After speaking, he left without looking back.
Ge Bilian's heart fell to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden, if it wasn't for Mother Ge's support, she would almost faint from anger.
The fourth master once again came to Guanju courtyard with a pale face, this time before he could open his mouth, Gu Chongyang said: "The fourth master is here to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. But you have found the wrong person, this time I am not the one who asked you to pick him up." Yao Zhenzhen, it was Eunuch Mo who said, if you want to make trouble, you should go to Eunuch Mo.”
The Fourth Master slapped the table of the Eight Immortals, his eyes bulging with anger: "Hmph, if it wasn't your fault, how would Eunuch Mo and the Emperor know about Yao Zhenzhen?"
"Fourth Master, you blamed me wrongly, then Yao Zhenzhen didn't know what method he used to touch Mr. Lu's house."
"What did you say?" The fourth master turned pale with shock, and said in a panic, "Which Lord Lu is it?"
"Which other Master Lu is there, of course it is Mrs. Lu Zhongxian, the servant of the official department, the uncle of Mrs. Rui Datang's family." Gu Chongyang said, and then sighed: "When I went to treat diseases with Master Lu, Master Lu was so rude. I questioned it. Of course I won’t admit it. I didn’t expect Yao Zhenzhen to have something close to your body in his hand. Then Yao Zhenzhen looks exactly like you. Mrs. Lu has seen you in person. I can’t help it if I want to drop."
(End of this chapter)
Gu Chongyang went to the mourning hall, and Gu Zhanyun had already been buried.
Seeing Gu Zhanyun's coffin, Gu Chongyang's heart was full of joy.
He killed his mother, and he finally died.
She wished she could cut him into pieces and let him die from torture. It's a pity that she is weak and can only kill him through such schemes.
If he died, the fourth master's official position would not be guaranteed, so my mother could rest in peace.
The revenge has been avenged, so what should she do?
Her daily routine is to walk around the mourning hall wearing filial piety clothes in the morning and evening, and then go to greet Mrs. Ge once again.
Jia Banxian came here at noon on the third day, and by the time Gu Chongyang went to greet Madam Ge on the fourth morning, rumors and rumors were already flying everywhere.
Some said that the newly married fourth wife had a very hard character and offended the third master.Some said that the third master's body was too weak, and no one else had collided with it. It was because the zodiac signs of the new wife and the third master's zodiac signs were incompatible.Some people say that the new wife is a bastard, and this is just the beginning of killing the third master, and she will kill others in the future...
There are different opinions and no consensus.
However, in just one night, there are several versions, but no matter which one it is, it shows that the death of the third master is inseparable from Ge Bilian.
In the previous life, Ge Bilian flattered and flattered the old lady, relying on the fact that she was the old lady's niece of the mother's family, she was arrogant and arrogant, and she had no scruples about abusing herself.In this life, this kind of thing happened to her just after entering the house. Gu Chongyang wants to see if the old lady will still love her like before?
Thinking this way in my heart, Gu Chongyang has already arrived at An Rong Yuan.
Mrs. Ge had only two sons, the eldest son Gu Zhanpeng died last year, unexpectedly the younger son Gu Zhanyun, who was always weak, also left her.
She was greatly shocked, and fell ill the day she learned of Gu Zhanyun's sudden death.In addition to the eldest wife Hao who will preside over the funerals of Mrs. Zhongxian and Zhang Luo, the second wife Fei and the fourth wife Ge Bilian are both serving at the bedside, and they all want to take this opportunity to let the old lady see their filial piety.
The third master passed away, and the old lady was sad and had to recuperate from her illness. People in the Anrong courtyard wanted to walk on tiptoe, for fear that they would be punished by the old lady for taking a wrong step. After all, two days ago, a maid and two wives had I was slapped on the board for being careless.
The courtyard was quiet, and there were maids and servants standing under the verandah, all of them stood with lowered eyebrows, eyes lowered and hands down, the atmosphere was very depressing.
As soon as Gu Chongyang walked down the steps of the main room, he heard anxious excuses and Mrs. Ge's angry scolding from inside.
It seems that Mrs. Ge's illness is not serious. I don't know what happened here to make the old lady so angry. Could it be related to Ge Bilian?
Thinking in this way, Gu Chongyang had already stepped up the steps quickly, and there was a sudden "bang" sound in the main room, as if something had fallen on the ground. Before Gu Chongyang could react, the soft curtain moved, and a woman in filial piety She ran out with a straight face, and ran into Gu Chongyang head-on.
"Ouch!" The woman didn't expect someone standing at the door, so she opened her mouth and scolded, "Are you blind?"
Saying that, she let go of her hand, and glared at Gu Chongyang angrily.
It was Ge Bilian, the circles of her eyes were red, the tears in her eyes were still wet, it was obvious that she had just cried a lot.
The moment she saw clearly that the person who came was Gu Chongyang, her blushing face turned pale in an instant.
Once again, Gu Chongyang saw himself in a mess.
Gu Chongyang's face was calm and unwavering, and there was peace between his brows. He looked at her as if looking at an irrelevant stranger, five points of scrutiny, three points of indifference, and two points of contempt.
This look made Ge Bilian angry.
She is Gu Chongyang's stepmother, shouldn't she greet her when she sees her?What kind of look does she have?
It has been three or four days since she entered the house, except that Gu Chongyang went to the Rongdong Courtyard once when he met his relatives the next day, but she didn't go to pay her respects once in the next few days.Is there a stepdaughter like her?It's really worthy of being born by that lowly merchant woman of the Shen family, but she has no manners and upbringing.
She must have been too kind, that's why Gu Chongyang pushed his nose and face like this.
Ge Bilian's face gradually became serious, and her eyes were also very unfriendly: "Miss Fourth..."
She just opened her mouth to say these three words, but Gu Chongyang passed her without even looking at her, lifted the curtain, and walked into the main room.
Ge Bilian fell on her back in anger!
If it was just a guess just now, now she has confirmed that this stepdaughter really does not take her seriously, so what's the matter?The children left by the stepmother and the first wife have always been against each other. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. She has just entered the door, and Gu Chongyang dared to despise her like this. Wouldn't she be able to restrain her in the future?It's worth it.
Ge Bilian was furious, and didn't care to cry, she immediately wanted to catch up with Gu Chongyang to argue, but when her fingers touched the soft curtain, her momentum softened involuntarily.
She went to take care of the old lady with good intentions, but unexpectedly she was reprimanded.
The old lady's anger and sarcastic remarks made her at a loss, and the second lady's provocation and falling into the well made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.
The always gentle lady became extremely indifferent, not only standing by and even implying that the death of the third master was hit by her.And the fourth master, who was so gentle, refined and considerate before, didn't even say a word to help the old lady when she was angry.Not only watched the old lady speak badly to her, but also made her retreat quickly.
How could she escape like this before she could say clearly?If she left, wouldn't it be true that the third master was killed by her?Of course she had to argue with reason and explain the matter clearly. Unexpectedly, she just called out "Old Madam", and the old lady would drop the blue and white teacup on the Kang table to her feet. If she hadn't hid Soon, the hot tea was about to be splashed on her.
If in the past when she was not married in her natal family, she would have given up and left. Why should she suffer so much?But today, not only could she not leave, but she had to go up to ask the old lady how she was doing.Unexpectedly, the moment she got close to the old lady, the old lady pushed her away without saying a word, and even snarled at her fiercely: "Get out of here quickly, you killed me, Yun'er, and you want to kill me?" Can't kill me? Get out of here!"
In front of a room full of sisters-in-law and servants, being scolded by the old lady shamelessly like this, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't stay any longer, and could only run out crying, that's why she bumped into Gu Chongyang. .
It's all right for the old lady to be angry with her, but Gu Chongyang, a dead girl, dares to look down on her?
Anger and sadness filled her heart again.
"Ma'am." Mother Ge grabbed Ge Bilian: "The third master is newly mourned, the old lady is sad, coupled with the instigation of caring people, I will naturally misunderstand you, let's go back first, now is not the time to be brave."
Why doesn't she know that now is not the time to be brave, but it is not so easy for her to swallow this breath.She couldn't do anything to the old lady, but it was more than enough to punish Gu Chongyang, a young girl.
Ge Bilian's face was gloomy, she gritted her teeth and said to Mammy Ge: "Mammy is right, let's go back first, you leave someone here to wait, when Miss Fourth comes out, let her meet me in Rongdongyuan."
This fourth young lady looked silent, but she didn't seem like a man to handle at all. Even if she kept someone, if she didn't want to go, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
But right now, Ge Bilian is angry, even though Ge Momo understands it in her heart, she dare not say it out loud.She had no choice but to follow Ge Bilian: "Madam said, let's go back first, I will let the little girl wait here."
Ge Bilian just left.
The living room of Mrs. Ge in Anrongyuan was miserable.Mrs. Ge was half lying on the bed, leaning against the lead pillow in a dejected state.Her face was gray and swollen, her eyes were red and swollen, and the white hair on her head was particularly obvious. In just a few days, she aged ten years.It could be seen that Gu Zhanyun's death hit her hard.
Gu Chongyang still underestimated the importance of the third master in Madam Ge's heart.That was her son, the flesh that fell from her body. She was clever, cute, and extremely intelligent since she was a child. She almost lost her life because she accidentally took the poison that Mrs. Ge gave to Aunt Sun. Although the treatment was timely, her life was saved. However, his ears were deaf and his body was broken, so he needed to take medicine all year round.It's been a long time, and I can't even speak.
Mrs. Ge loves the third master Gu Zhanyun, which also contains guilt.It never occurred to her that her youngest son would die without warning, and he would still die in a woman's belly.She must cut that bitch who seduced Yun'er into pieces, otherwise it will be difficult to dispel the hatred in her heart.
Mrs. Ge gritted her teeth, her hatred hard to subdue: "Fourth brother, didn't I ask you to fetch him yesterday? Why didn't you bring that bitch?"
Although the fourth master Gu Zhanming regards fame and wealth as his life, but he and the fourth wife Shen have been in love for more than ten years. Even if they use too much sincerity, they can't be slapped in the face like this.The third master disregarded the brotherhood, and doing such a thing against human relations was obviously humiliating him, but any bloody man could not bear this tone.Although driven by interests, the fourth master chose to compromise, but this does not mean that he does not hate the third master in his heart.
He hated it, just like Gu Chongyang, he wished that the third master would die soon.
He didn't dare to do anything to the third master, so he could only bury his hatred in his heart.After all, although that matter was mysterious, how many people knew about it.The eldest wife Hao Shi, the second wife Fei Shi, and the second master Gu Zhanyun all know it clearly, even the mother Su in the old lady's room, and other confidantes around the insider, probably know the same.
When he faced these people, although his face was calm as usual, his heart was extremely tormented.Every time he would feel that those people looked at him like needles in his eyes, making him restless.
Now that the third master is dead and he has married a new wife, those unbearable past events will naturally disappear.It was too late for him to be happy, and it was too late to thank the woman in the brothel, so how could he sincerely pursue it.
"Old lady, I went to the Folding Flower Building, and the bustard said that the man had been redeemed by the tea merchants in Jiangxi, and he was no longer from their place."
"What about the tea merchants in Jiangxi? Have you found them?"
"No." The fourth master shook his head, and said weakly: "I went to the Jiangxi Guild Hall, and after inquiring about it, I found out that the tea merchant boarded a boat from Tongzhou and went south from Tongzhou on the day of the third brother's accident. Where is there?"
Not to mention that he really didn't find it, even if he found it, he wouldn't bring him back, and he might even make him run away for his life.
"Waste, waste, waste!" Mrs. Ge was so angry that her face was livid, and she patted the small table on the kang heavily, making a "bang bang bang" sound: "You can't do this well, what is the difference between you and a waste You wolf-hearted bastards, do you think that the Gu family is yours after Yun’er dies? You’re dreaming! Dreaming!”
Mrs. Ge was so sad and angry that she lost all reason, and she would scold anyone who caught her.
The fourth master knelt on the ground and didn't dare to defend himself, as if he was resigned, but Gu Chongyang saw him clenching his teeth, and the flesh on both sides of his cheeks was also throbbing, clearly suppressing his anger.
"And you!" Mrs. Ge stared at the eldest lady fiercely, and said with gritted teeth, "As the head of the Gu family, how did you manage the inner house, and let such villains sneak into the mansion? Is it a dead person?"
The eldest lady didn't try to defend herself after hearing this, she just said aggrievedly: "Old lady calm down, it's the daughter-in-law's fault, the daughter-in-law must take good care of the inner house in the future, the old lady must take care of herself. The elder master has gone, and the third brother has also gone, now The Gu family can only rely on you to support it, if you get angry, what should we do?"
Hmph, she had already guessed that Gu Zhanyun, that lustful hungry ghost, would die at the hands of a woman one day.This inhuman bastard, before getting married, all the maids in the mansion with serious eyebrows and eyes could not escape his clutches.Not only did the old lady ignore him, but she let him go, and she loved him so much that she asked someone to make nourishing soup every day to nourish his body.
The big maids around the old lady had already pointed at the boy, and seeing that he was going to get married in a few days, he insisted on ruining her two days before she got married. In the master's house.
It took her a lot of effort to suppress that matter.
After he got married, he suddenly seemed to be a different person. He was no longer interested in the maid, and even took advantage of the third wife's serious illness to drag the third wife's cousin who came to visit her to bed.At that time, the Gu family was in full swing, and the third wife's natal family was just a small official, so she didn't dare to compete with the Gu family. However, the third wife's cousin was pregnant and wanted to come in to be the third master's child.The third master is a master who forgets once he gets it, and he doesn't care at all, but the old lady said that it was the third wife's cousin who was indiscreet, so she disagreed anyway.
The third lady's cousin had to have an abortion and married to the south.Half a year later, the third wife also died.It is said that he died of illness, but in fact he was tortured to death by the third master.
Since then, Gu Zhanyun, a bastard, has gotten worse. First, he defiled the second master's concubine, who is Gu Chongzhi's biological mother. Women hook up, even women who are married and have children.
The old lady never said anything wrong with her son. When she mentioned it, she said that those women seduced Gu Zhanyun.What can she say as a sister-in-law?It's just helping Gu Zhanyun wipe his ass and clean up the mess.Unexpectedly, Gu Zhanyun stretched out his hand to Shen's body, Shen's is the dignified wife of the Fourth Master, Gu Zhanyun is not even as good as an animal.
Unexpectedly, Shen Shi looked gentle and had such a strong personality, she would choose to commit suicide, but everyone was dead, the old lady still didn't let her go, poured dirty water all over her body, and put a hat on her .But Gu Zhanyun, the instigator, is still at large in wealth and prosperity.
Fortunately, the fourth master values fame over the relationship between husband and wife. If not, wouldn't the Gu family become the laughing stock of the entire capital if the matter got publicized?
Gu Zhanyun finally died, and she no longer had to clean up his mess.
Mrs. Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
She was happy in her heart, but her face became more and more sad: "Old lady, our family is counting on you, you must take care of yourself. Although the eldest master and the third master have passed away one after another, you still have us, and Brother Rong Son."
Now the only ones who are related to the old lady by blood are Sister Hua and Brother Rong. Without Gu Zhanyun, Brother Rong is the only descendant of the Gu family.
The anger in Mrs. Ge's heart receded, and sadness surged up all of a sudden, she cried resignedly and said, "Yes, I still have Brother Rong..."
Mrs. Ge was crying very sadly, but Gu Chongyang felt his teeth were cold when he saw it.Your son is also dead, and there is only one grandson left. Naturally, you love Gu Zhengrong as much as an eyeball.But you set a murderous hand on the head of the house, Brother Rui, and wanted to kill Brother Rui, how could you know that what happened today is not the retribution for your evil deeds!
Evil is rewarded with evil, and good is rewarded with good. It’s not that the time has not yet come.You have done so much evil, and this retribution has only just begun!
The female relatives in the room cried with headaches, and Gu Chonghua, Gu Chongzhi, and Gu Chongzhu also had red eye circles. Gu Chongyang lowered his head and wiped the non-existent tears with a handkerchief, thinking that all this had nothing to do with her.
Madam Su came in suddenly, her voice was a bit tense: "Madam, old lady, butler Wan is here, he said that there is a decree from the palace, and the eunuch who made the decree is already waiting in the front hall of the front yard, let the family go up and down People wait to burn incense and change clothes to prepare to receive the order."
Imperial decree, how could there be an imperial decree at this time?
Everyone in the room was shocked by this news, Madam Ge was even more disturbed, obviously shocked.
"Old lady, don't worry." The eldest lady Hao grasped Mrs. Ge's hand, her voice was calm, with a hint of joy on her face: "Two days ago, Mrs. Xin Guogong sent someone to bring a letter, saying that the emperor has agreed The title has been returned to our family. Because you were sad about the third brother, my daughter-in-law didn’t have time to tell you. Today’s imperial decree is probably the decree for restoring the title.”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room was in an uproar.
Mrs. Ge looked nervous and asked incredulously, "Is it true?"
Su Momo hurried forward and couldn't help saying, "It should be right. Madam, Housekeeper Wan said that the one who came was Eunuch Mo who is next to the emperor. He was very polite and said that it was a good thing!"
"That's it!" Mrs. Ge swept away the fatigue just now, with a smile on her face, grabbed the lady's hand and said, "Help me up quickly to take a shower and change clothes, let Wan Rong go to greet Mo Gonggong, and you, don't I'm standing here, so hurry back and change your clothes. Our Gu family will be rich and prosperous for another hundred years."
Second Madam Fei said with a smile: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady, this is a great joy, the title is back, we are the Qingyang Houfu again."
She smiled happily and spoke cheerfully. People who didn't know thought that the person who was about to inherit the title was her son Gu Mingxi.
The happier the second lady laughed, the more she hated her.The eldest lady's son is going to become the Marquis of Qingyang, won't the Gu family have no room for a second wife in the future?
The corners of her mouth were raised high, but her eyes were gloomy.
Gu Chonghua and Gu Chongzhi looked at each other, and they saw joy in each other's eyes. Gu Chongzhu also had a hint of complacency on his face, happy that he was able to become the daughter of the Hou family again.
Gu Chongyang also laughed, she laughed at these people's indifference, and now that they have titles, Gu Zhanyun's death is nothing. He was miserable just now, but now he is full of laughter.She even laughed at their ignorance and ignorance. They thought that they would return to the Gu family with wealth and honor, but they didn't realize that this was just their wishful thinking.
After a meal, all members of the Gu family gathered in the front hall with new clothes. Gu Zhengrong was even more proud. Although he deliberately suppressed it, everyone could see that the corners of his mouth were raised, his eyebrows were beaming, and he was happy. restrain yourself.Soon, he will become the Marquis of Qingyang. From now on, the Gu family will be his world, and he will do whatever he says. How can he be unhappy?
And Gu Weirui, the eldest young master of the long room who had been bedridden for a long time, also came. Mrs. Ge couldn't help being stunned for a moment when she saw him. She never thought that Gu Weirui looked so good, and he was clearly about to recover.When she thought that all the people she put in the long room disappeared a few days ago, and even Gu Weirui's nanny Wei Weimao had no news, her heart became a little heavy, and the eyes she looked at Gu Weirui were like knives.
This short-lived ghost!Why are you still alive?Hmph, after today, when Brother Rong takes the title, we must find a way to remove this stumbling block for Brother Rong.As long as Gu Weirui survives, his threat to his second wife will exist as long as he lives.
Gu Chongyang has been secretly observing Mrs. Ge, and naturally saw her fierce eyes, and Mrs. Cui, the head room, also paid attention to Mrs. Ge just like Gu Chongyang.After seeing Mrs. Ge's eyes, she couldn't help but turn cold.
Everyone arrived, and under the leadership of the old lady of the house, everyone in the Gu family knelt down to accept the order.
Eunuch Mo's shrill voice came to mind in the tall and spacious front hall of the Gu family: "By God, the emperor ordered: the late Zhongyong first-class Duke Gu Bai was the pillar of the court, the pillar of the family and the country. The spirit of death will last forever. To preserve the favor and inherit heredity, it is a system of encouragement from the imperial court. It specially ordered his eldest grandson Gu Weirui to attack Qingyanghou, and was named Zhengwude Cavalry Captain. .May Erqin conquer the family, serve the country, and do not owe my kindness, this is my admiration!"
Although Eunuch Mo's voice is high-pitched, his enunciation is very clear. In addition, everyone in the Gu family knelt on the ground to receive the decree respectfully, so there is no noise at all, and a needle can be heard falling on the ground. Therefore, the content of the decree is clear Clearly spread to everyone's ears.
Mrs. Ge suddenly raised her head, her face paled in shock: "Eunuch Mo, you... you just said in the imperial decree that the title will be passed on to the grandson of the first-class Duke Zhongyong?"
The first-class Zhongyong is the title of the old man Changfang Bai, and the title of the old man Cifangdong is the second-class Chengen.
Mrs. Ge was fully expecting the title to fall to Gu Zhengrong, but she did not expect that the person who claimed the title would be Gu Weirui.
Eunuch Mo didn't answer, but said: "Which one is the new Marquis of Qingyang, come and accept the order."
Gu Weirui knelt behind Gu Zhengrong, a little weak and inconspicuous, but at the moment he was not panicked at all, and said loudly: "My minister Gu Weirui accepts the order."
Eunuch Mo held the imperial decree into Gu Weirui's hands, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Marquis of Qingyang for taking the title, don't forget to enter the palace tomorrow to thank you."
"Thank you Mo Nei for the reminder." Gu Weirui stood up, he was tall, a full head taller than Eunuch Mo.
A flash of surprise flashed in Mo Gonggong's eyes, he did not expect Gu Weirui to be so tall despite looking thin.
Eunuch Mo smiled: "Since there is nothing wrong, the servant will leave."
Fourth Master Gu Zhanming hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'll see off Eunuch."
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Mo suddenly stopped and said, "Didn't the fourth master take up a post in the Imperial Academy these days?"
The fourth master hurriedly said: "Yes, at first, the married woman asked for three days' leave. Unexpectedly, the third brother passed away before the marriage leave was over. I have already gone to the Ministry of Officials to extend my leave for half a month, and I have indeed not been to the Imperial Academy these days. Attendant Mo Nei Ask, is there something wrong?"
"Fourth Master, although I am a servant, I have also heard of the principle of self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace. You are from the top two ranks of Jinshi, and you are also a servant of the Imperial Academy. You must know better than slaves."
The fourth master was surprised, he didn't know how Eunuch Mo would say such a thing.
Before he could react, Eunuch Mo's voice reached his ears again: "A loving father can be filial to a daughter, and the poison of a tiger does not eat its sons. The emperor has three princes and three princesses under his knees, which is too little. There are only two daughters, how can you push one of them out of the door? Now that the papers of impeachment against you have been piled up half a foot high, the emperor is very disappointed, saying that this is the reason for being a father? I am afraid there is some misunderstanding in this matter. , has been checked by someone. Since it is your own flesh and blood, it is not good to live outside, or you should take it back. Otherwise..."
For the rest, Eunuch Mo didn't say all of them, and some words are more appropriate to stop.
Gu Zhanming was struck by lightning when he heard the words, and he didn't recover for a long time.
In fact, the change of the person who attacked the noble took place today, and he had nothing to do with his high-spirited attitude.Because no matter who the Gu family takes the title of, he is already the master of Hanlin, and Mrs. Cui, the head of the family, is fair and modest. As long as he behaves well, she will definitely support him.Right now, Mrs. Ge, the aunt, is defeated, and no one will restrain him in the future, so it's too late for him to be happy.How can you care about their lives?
But what he never expected was that Eunuch Mo would say such a thing.
What exactly is going on?Wasn't Yao Zhenzhen sent away by Chongyang?How could those censors who know how to make troubles when they have nothing to do know that Yao Zhen really exists?They took the opportunity to attack and impeach him, what would the emperor think of him, would he dismiss him as an official because of his lack of personal morality?
In just one breath, Gu Zhanming, the fourth master, had already skipped seven or eight thoughts in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more ugly his face became.
Seeing that he was stunned, Gu Weirui quickly put the imperial decree on the tray in front of the incense table next to him respectfully, and said with a smile: "Let me give it to Eunuch."
As soon as Eunuch Mo and Gu Weirui walked out, the eldest lady Hao's tears burst out: "Old lady, what... what's going on? Isn't our brother Rong the title? How could it be Gu Weirui? "
Her voice was very sharp, her eyes were fierce, and her face was flushed, she was completely different from her gentle and generous image in the past.
Mrs. Ge was even more shocked than she was. She got up from the ground, pointed at Mrs. Changfang's lips and asked tremblingly: "Mrs. Cui! You are so vicious. It's your fault, it must be your fault!"
Mrs. Cui's face was serious, and she said in a solemn tone: "Ge Shi, thunder, rain and dew are all due to the grace of the king. The emperor's grace returned the title to our Gu family. How can you hold resentment! The eldest wife is the first wife, and the second wife is the concubine." , All prosperity, all losses, this title was originally owned by the head of the family, but it was loaned to the second house for a few years, now our head house gets the title back, why not?"
As she said that, Mrs. Cui's eyes swept over everyone, and her tone was indescribably majestic: "The old lady of the second room is depressed and confused because of the third master, you juniors should persuade her, absolutely not!" Let her talk nonsense, if anyone dares to say such disrespectful words again, don't blame me for being rude!"
The words left everyone speechless.
Gu Chonghua's face was panicked, he looked left and right, and dared not speak.Gu Chongzhi stood beside her tightly without saying a word.
The second lady's complexion was very complicated, with a look of complacency and panic at the same time.
Gu Zhengrong's face turned pale, as if he had suffered a great blow and was on the verge of falling.
The eldest lady is as if mourning, her face is haggard, her eyes are wide open, her mouth is wide open, she wants to speak, but it seems like someone is strangling her neck, and there is only a "cluck" in her throat, but she can't utter a word .
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Mrs. Cui said, "It's all gone. Go back and change your clothes. Now the Gu family is still doing funerals. As soon as this new title comes out, there will be more people coming to mourn tomorrow. Peng Brothers and daughters-in-law should handle it carefully, don't be unprepared, and lose the dignity of our Qingyanghou Mansion."
The eldest lady Hao Shi was speechless, mechanically blessing her body to show that she knew.
Those who know the current affairs are brilliant, and Mrs. Hao's response is really fast.
Gu Chongyang couldn't help but secretly nodded.
Mrs. Cui walked out with the support of Nanny Ding, but Mrs. Ge suddenly shouted sharply: "Cui Yun, you have robbed us of the title of second wife, you will die, I will fight with you! "
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Chongyang rushed to stop her, but before she got close, Madam Ge's body suddenly went limp, and she passed out.
The eldest lady, Hao Shi, was already in a daze. Thanks to the second wife, Fei Shi, who had a good eye for the old lady, she quickly supported her.
But no one dared to move, they were frightened by the old lady's actions just now.Now that the second house no longer has a title, if the old lady utters such wild words and insults the old lady of the long house, who knows if the old lady of the long house will be furious?
Although the old lady of the first room was angry, she did not vent her anger. She said: "Bring the old lady of the second room back to the house, and ask the imperial doctor to treat her. You can do whatever you have to do. Especially the fourth child, just now, Eunuch Mo If you tell me, you should hurry up and do it. Eunuch Mo is the No.1 around the emperor, and his words are the words of the emperor."
After speaking, she turned and left without looking at the crowd.Gu Chongyang and Nanny Ding supported her from left to right.
Others were relieved that the old lady Changfang didn't lose her temper, and felt that the old lady Changfang was still as talkative as before.
Everyone dispersed, only the fourth master was still standing dumbfounded, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
Gu Chongyang!
It must be Gu Chongyang's tricks, otherwise how could this matter have reached the emperor's ears.
The fourth master gritted his teeth angrily, looked at Gu Chongyang's leaving back, raised his foot and wanted to catch up with Gu Chongyang to make a theory.
But someone behind him grabbed his clothes.
He turned around and met Ge Bilian's sharp questioning eyes: "Master Si, what did the eunuch mean just now? Don't you only have Miss Si and one daughter under your knees? What does the other daughter mean?"
Ge Bilian's tone was very anxious, her face was ugly, and she was faintly blue.
After all, she is a newlywed wife, and the fourth master is naturally obedient, but right now the fourth master is distracted and can't take care of himself, so he doesn't have the energy to take care of her thoughts, so he perfunctoryly said: "I will tell you about this matter in another day, Right now I have more important things to do, you go back to the Rongdong Courtyard first."
As he spoke, he broke Ge Bilian's hand, turned around and left.
Ge Bilian's originally blue face suddenly turned white. She thought she was marrying a beloved man, but she didn't want him to be cowardly and incompetent to stand up when she encountered unfair treatment, and he didn't even tell her the truth.
How could she be so miserable!Married to this kind of person?
Ge Bilian's eyes were sore, and she wanted to cry, so she choked up and called out: "Fourth Master."
Her cry was really useful, the fourth master really stopped, turned around and walked to her side.
Ge Bilian was overjoyed, almost bursting into tears and laughing: "Fourth Lord, what did the eunuch say?"
Unexpectedly, the Fourth Master didn't hear her words at all, but frowned and said: "By the way, the title has now fallen to Brother Rui, so hurry up and prepare a gift to send to the eldest room. Our fourth room doesn't have many people now. Now that the money is gone, let it come out of your dowry, and I will make it up to you when my salary comes down in a few days."
After speaking, he left without looking back.
Ge Bilian's heart fell to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden, if it wasn't for Mother Ge's support, she would almost faint from anger.
The fourth master once again came to Guanju courtyard with a pale face, this time before he could open his mouth, Gu Chongyang said: "The fourth master is here to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. But you have found the wrong person, this time I am not the one who asked you to pick him up." Yao Zhenzhen, it was Eunuch Mo who said, if you want to make trouble, you should go to Eunuch Mo.”
The Fourth Master slapped the table of the Eight Immortals, his eyes bulging with anger: "Hmph, if it wasn't your fault, how would Eunuch Mo and the Emperor know about Yao Zhenzhen?"
"Fourth Master, you blamed me wrongly, then Yao Zhenzhen didn't know what method he used to touch Mr. Lu's house."
"What did you say?" The fourth master turned pale with shock, and said in a panic, "Which Lord Lu is it?"
"Which other Master Lu is there, of course it is Mrs. Lu Zhongxian, the servant of the official department, the uncle of Mrs. Rui Datang's family." Gu Chongyang said, and then sighed: "When I went to treat diseases with Master Lu, Master Lu was so rude. I questioned it. Of course I won’t admit it. I didn’t expect Yao Zhenzhen to have something close to your body in his hand. Then Yao Zhenzhen looks exactly like you. Mrs. Lu has seen you in person. I can’t help it if I want to drop."
