Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl

Chapter 126 Coveted

"Chongyang." Hao Shaoyang looked up at her, with a pious yet gentle tone: "I promised you before, there will be no one else between us."

Gu Chongyang didn't see joy when he heard it, but was very surprised: "Then what about Miss Zhao?"

"This is what I want to ask you." Hao Shaoyang looked at her pleadingly: "Chongyang, I promise you that we will have no one else before, and it is out of sincerity. But I never thought that what happened later would happen."

"So, you want to go back on your word?" Gu Chongyang frowned and looked at him calmly.

"No, it's not repentance." Hao Shaoyang said nervously: "It's just to give the senior sister a title. If it was someone else, I would stab her to death with a sword to prevent future troubles. But she is a senior sister, different from others, and I have been with me since childhood. Growing up together, they are my older sister, and even more my younger sister. Master died for me, and I promised that Master would take good care of her. What I mean is to let her enter the door, and only give her a title, so that she can have a place to live That’s all, that’s all.”

Gu Chongyang took a sad breath, this is Hao Shaoyang, he is a kind and righteous person, he will never just ignore Zhao Menglan, but he is also reluctant to bear himself.

He was holding Gu Chongyang's hand trembling slightly, his eyes were filled with anticipation, Gu Chongyang could feel how nervous he was.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help thinking of Mrs. Cui's teaching that he could use Hao Shaoyang's guilt and respect to firmly grasp his heart, and after marrying himself, Zhao Menglan could only be inferior to him.

It's just a name, what's the big deal?
How hard is it to nod?
She convinced herself over and over again in her heart, but overthrew herself over and over again.

She has already passed the last life that was muddleheaded, so is she still going to make compromises in this life?

Hao Shaoyang's affection is not half false, she cherishes it very much.She used to look forward to a happy future with him.

But if that happy future has to be exchanged for the current humiliation, she would rather not!
"Shaoyang, you mean to only give Ms. Zhao a title. After Ms. Zhao comes in, you will never step into Ms. Zhao's yard again, right?"

She had already made a decision in her heart, but she still couldn't give up when the words came to her lips. She still wanted to make one last effort.

"Yes." Hao Shaoyang's eyes were full of seriousness, and he nodded emphatically: "I have already made a mistake the first time, and I will never make a second mistake. Chongyang, in the end it is I who am sorry for you. As a concubine, I am not only sorry for you, but also for my master, and I have also defiled my senior sister."

"But have you ever thought about it, if you take Ms. Zhao as your concubine, how will Ms. Zhao pursue her own happiness in the future? A woman, what she seeks is not a sanctuary, but the love of her husband. Having both sons and daughters is a complete family. If she becomes your concubine, she will have nothing to do with her in the future. Do you have the heart to watch Ms. Zhao alone? Uncle Zhao will definitely not want to see his daughter lonely in the sky. Alone."

"This..." Hao Shaoyang looked at Gu Chongyang in astonishment, at a loss: "But this is what the senior sister meant. She said that she is only alone now, so she hopes to have a shelter, and she has nothing to ask for..."

"Miss Zhao said, you just agree?" Looking at his confused look, Gu Chongyang only felt pain in his heart: "Have you ever thought about what should Miss Zhao do if she has someone she likes in her heart?"

"This is even simpler. If Senior Sister has someone she likes, then I will let Senior Sister be with that person. Wouldn't this solve the problem?"

"But Miss Zhao likes you!"

Gu Chongyang asked him loudly: "Then what are you going to do? What should you do? In order to make Miss Zhao happy, do you want to stay and fly together with her?"

As if struck by lightning, Hao Shaoyang froze all of a sudden, as if he had been slapped in the face.

After a long time, he finally came to his senses. He stepped forward and said in a panic, "No, Chongyang, Senior Sister won't like me. The only person who will stay and fly with me is you!"

Whether he really didn't know or was lying to himself!

"Hao Shaoyang!" Gu Chongyang suddenly pushed him away: "I don't agree, I don't agree with Miss Zhao coming in, my husband can only have me alone, and no one else is allowed, even if it's just in name. I don't allow Miss Zhao's house to enter, I don't agree. You can only choose one, Zhao Menglan or me!"

Hao Shaoyang's hand stretched out to pull Gu Chongyang suddenly froze in mid-air.

"Chongyang, do you really not agree?" Hao Shaoyang inserted his hands into his hair, feeling very painful: "That year I went to suppress the bandits with Yao Junyan, Yao Junyan was arrested, and the bandits asked me to go back to get the ransom, you know what I did Is it?"

"I didn't leave. I chose to stay as a hostage and let Yao Junyan go back. I did this not because I was noble, but because I would rather be in danger than those around me get hurt."

Hao Shaoyang stood up, his eyes were moist, and his voice was choked with sobs: "I promised Master that I will take care of my senior sister, and I can't break my promise. No matter how painful or painful my heart is, I will protect my senior sister and not let her get hurt."

Gu Chongyang tightly grasped the dress, and closed his eyes in pain.

So, you can break your promise to me, so, you can make me hurt, right?

"It's not that I don't love you." Hao Shaoyang couldn't control himself, tears fell down, and his voice was broken and trembling: "It's because I regard you and me as one, you are me, and wronging you is wronging me Own."

"Chongyang!" Hao Shaoyang cried loudly, stepped forward and hugged Gu Chongyang: "Don't force me, promise me, okay?"

Gu Chongyang lowered his head and did not answer.

Every word Hao Shaoyang said was like a needle, which made her feel distressed.

There were many moments when she wanted to nod, but every time she wanted to nod, she felt extremely difficult, as if someone was strangling her throat, and she couldn't breathe.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Today, Hao Shaoyang accepts her in order to give Zhao Menglan a place to live, and tomorrow he can give birth to a child with her to give Zhao Menglan a place to rely on... Forever and ever, day by day, she doesn't want her love with Hao Shaoyang to disappear in the friction, and finally They look at each other with disgust and hate each other.She doesn't even want to become what she was in her previous life, all she wants is her husband's pity, no freedom, no self.

That was not the life she wanted.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster!

Gu Chongyang suddenly got up, pushed Hao Shaoyang away, turned and entered the inner room.

She didn't dare to stay, because she was afraid that she would be reluctant to part with his warmth because she was greedy, and she didn't dare to speak, because she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would not be able to help crying.

Three days later, the second wife of the Linjiang Hou Mansion, Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Hui Ningbo, came to the door to withdraw their marriage.

Mrs. Cui was furious, and said a lot of nasty things to Mrs. Linjianghou's second wife. Finally, Linjianghou Hao's family decided to use the betrothal gift during the engagement as compensation.

Mrs. Cui took Gu Chongyang's hand to comfort the people who sent away the people from the Linjiang Hou Mansion: "It's their Hao family who are unlucky, don't be sad, there are not only men in this world like Hao Shaoyang. There are uncles and grandmothers You decide, and I will definitely find you a good-looking husband."

"Grandmother, do women have to marry?" Gu Chongyang said, "Can I not marry and stay in the Gu family forever?"

Mrs. Cui thought she was disheartened, so she said softly: "Of course, your mother's dowry is so much, it is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Our Qingyang Hou Mansion will not even support you as a little girl." I'm sorry, I know Hao Shaoyang broke your heart, don't worry, my uncle and grandma are not so old and stubborn, as long as you don't want to marry, you will stay in the Gu family, and I will never force you to marry. "

"Grandmother!" Gu Chongyang was moved in his heart, and his voice was a little congested: "It is the honor of Chongyang Sansheng to receive your love."

"There is only one thing about fate between people." Mrs. Cui said lovingly: "Although we are not the grandparents of the direct relatives, but you can be raised under my name, which does not mean that you and I are destined. From this, What’s yours is yours, if you don’t force it, you won’t get it, in the dark, everything is predestined.”

Aunt and grandma are trying to comfort her that she has no destiny with Hao Shaoyang.

"What you said is that there must be hits sometimes. If there is no hit, don't force it. Aunt and grandma, Chongyang will remember what you said." Gu Chongyang sat on the small bed in front of Mrs. Cui's big kang, and took the beauty from the maid's hand Hammer, hammer the leg of Mrs. Cui himself: "Grandmother, I want to discuss something with you old man."

Mrs. Cui saw that although she was sad, her eyes were clear and she was not decadent. She felt more and more that she was a smart and insightful person, different from ordinary girls, and felt that she was somewhat similar to her temperament.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"When I got off my clothes before, my uncle wanted to take me to Nanjing, but I didn't agree at that time." Gu Chongyang said: "A few days ago, my uncle wrote again, wanting to pick me up to Nanjing, and I want to stay at my uncle's house for a while. "

After Gu Chongyang finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Cui expectantly.

She was very nervous, because the situation in the DPRK and China had changed. In order to prevent her uncle from following the old path of the previous life and getting into the thief ship of the puppet emperor, she had to go to Nanjing.

In July of this year, Daqi fought with Tatar Wacha and won repeated victories. Emperor Jianxing, Longyan Dayue, entertained his ministers, but suddenly suffered a stroke and fell to the ground.

The three princes stood close to the sick.Except for the eldest prince who has a leg problem, the second prince and the third prince have been fighting openly and secretly.

The third prince has five daughters and three sons. The royal family of the Great Qi Dynasty has been withered, and the three princes are full of children. This is his capital.

Although the second prince has never been married, he rarely has a virtuous name and is good at winning people's hearts.The emperor also intended to belong to the second prince, and all the courtiers wrote letters asking the emperor to make the second prince the crown prince.

Unexpectedly, someone reported to the emperor that the reason why the eldest prince fell off his horse was that the second prince played tricks on him. This news caused a great commotion in the court.

There was a wave of unrest, and another wave, and it was discovered that the second prince had colluded with the Lianghuai patrol salt censor, embezzled and hid more than 20 taels of salt and silver, most of which were used to bribe and win over courtiers.

The emperor was furious, and appointed the third prince as the prince, the eldest prince as the king of Fu, and the second prince as the king of Rong.

After arranging these things, the emperor's health deteriorated and he asked the prince to supervise the country.

Ordinarily, these things had little to do with Gu Chongyang, and even less to do with uncle.If he hadn't been reborn, Gu Chongyang wouldn't have known that King Rong would have such great ambitions, let alone know that he had planned so hard to rebel that even his uncle had become part of the King Rong's party, and that following him, everyone would be prosperous, and everyone would be harmed.

King Rong succeeded in rebelling, his uncle had the merits of being a dragon, he was promoted to a noble, and he became the Duke of Liang from a merchant.

The reason why He Runnian married her was because of this.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, but in just two years, Wang Jiulang led an army of 20 Tatars, broke through the city of the false emperor, and quickly supported the new emperor.

Her uncle became a prisoner overnight from a prince envied by everyone, and her status in Yanen Hou He's family plummeted even more.

Later, Wang Jiulang became a master of Chuyan, assisted the new emperor in governing the country, and spared no effort to the old ministers of the false emperor.

Unexpectedly, just after Master Chuyan passed away, the new emperor would start a killing spree. His uncle's family was massacred, and his married cousin died of a sudden illness. Even she herself could not escape the fate of death.

It can be said that all the tragedies started when the uncle had a relationship with King Rong. She had to prevent the tragedy from happening, and she had to go to Nanjing.

She didn't go to Nanjing before, firstly because she was concerned about Hao Shaoyang; secondly, she still had enough time.

When Hao Shaoyang just returned to Beijing, she planned to go to Nanjing.Because Hao Shaoyang was going to enter the palace, she waited for him to come out before going.

But I didn't expect things to change like this.

She really didn't want to stay in this sad place in the capital.Going to Nanjing to relax, the most important thing is to prevent uncle from contacting King Rong.

Mrs. Cui didn't stop her after hearing this, she just said: "When do you plan to go?"

Regarding the matter of retiring with Hao Shaoyang, she also felt wronged for Gu Chongyang.It is not a glorious thing for a girl to be divorced. If Chongyang can go to Nanjing for a walk, broaden her horizons, calm her mind, and come back after a period of time when the turmoil calms down, it would be a good thing.

"The sooner the better, you agree, I'm going to leave in two days."

Mrs. Cui can understand Gu Chongyang's eagerness to leave the capital, especially her sentence "you agree", which makes Mrs. Cui feel caring.

She nodded and said: "Of course I agree. Many people, especially women, never have the chance to go out and see for themselves. If you have this heart, how can I stop you? Just don't be in a hurry, pick an auspicious day for going out , I don’t feel at ease if you go out alone, I will ask your aunt Ying to find out if there are any old relatives who have returned to the south, and take you along by the way, so I am also at ease.”

Gu Chongyang was moved in his heart, and said happily: "Thank you, uncle and grandma."

The day was set to be seven days later, and Gu Chongyang was on board the boat of Mr. Hua, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. Mr. Hua is from Suzhou, and his wife and children have been following him in the capital. Mrs. Hua is returning to Suzhou for the New Year. Also received from the capital.

Gu Chongyang and Dan Xin live in the stern, Mrs. Hua and Miss Hua live in the middle, and the young master of the Hua family lives in the bow.

It was Xu's first time traveling by water, and Dan Xin was very novel. Whenever he had time, he would stand on the deck and watch the scenery on both sides of the strait, and would tell Gu Chongyang what he saw and heard outside.

After the boat left for seven or eight days, Dan Xin took out a letter and said nervously, "Miss, this is a letter from Mr. Hao."

Seeing that Chongyang's personal letter was written on the envelope, Gu Chongyang didn't reach out to pick it up.

Before leaving, Gu Chonghua came to see her off and told her that the Empress had appointed Zhao Menglan as princess, and personally issued a decree to marry Zhao Menglan and Hao Shaoyang, and they were scheduled to get married in one month.

Thinking of this incident, her heart felt stuffy and panicked, with a dull pain.

But the matter has passed, no matter how sweet she and Hao Shaoyang were in the past, it was the past.In the future, Hao Shaoyang will marry Zhao Menglan, have children with her, and be happy and healthy.

Since she decided to let go, she must break it cleanly.

She doesn't want her husband to think about others, and similarly, she won't touch other people's husbands or get involved in other people's marriages.

"Mr. Hao has already made an engagement with Miss Zhao, and it's a decree personally issued by the empress. I shouldn't have anything to do with him anymore. You don't want to do this kind of private exchange in the future." Gu Chongyang said with a stern expression: "I won't pursue it this time, and if there is another time, I will definitely not let it go lightly!"

After she finished speaking, she went out.

Gu Chongyang's voice was also cold, without a trace of warmth. Since Dan Xin came to serve her, it was the first time seeing Gu Chongyang so angry.

Dan Xin also understood that she had done a wrong thing this time, so she hurriedly put away the letter in her hand, pulled herself together and followed Gu Chongyang outside.

The weather is very cold, but it is clear and cloudless. The blue sky and the clear river water make people feel refreshed.

Looking at the wide water surface, Gu Chongyang felt that the boredom in his heart was much less.

Suddenly there was an angry scolding sound from the bow: "Sister Ling, look at what you've done!"

There was a burst of laughter like silver bells, and then there was the sound of walking again. A seven or eight-year-old girl ran over cheerfully, with her hair combed and wearing a pink jacket.

She is Miss Hua, her name is Hua Ling, and she is only seven years old this year.The three masters of the Hua family gave birth to eight young masters in a row, and only this young lady was born in pink and jade, so she was very favored and was the treasure of the whole family.

"Sister Gu, save me quickly, my brother is going to beat me!"

Hua Ling ran very fast, she ran to Gu Chongyang's side in a few steps, she hid behind Gu Chongyang, poked her head out and stuck her tongue out at the person who was chasing her.

The man behind was furious, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and chased after him. Seeing that it was Gu Chongyang, he hurriedly stopped and bowed his hands to Gu Chongyang: "Miss Gu, my sister-in-law is young, did you disturb Miss Gu?"

It was none other than Hua Ling's older brother Hua Rong, who was 15 years old this year, wearing a sky-blue straight jacket with dark patterns of green bamboo on it, but unfortunately, the dark patterns of green bamboo were painted with black ink The flowers are clearly a child's graffiti, needless to say, it must have been done by Hualing.

He chased his sister and didn't expect to run into Gu Chongyang who had always been hiding in the cabin. It was really rude of him to look like this.

"Young Master Hua, you're being polite. Sister Ling is innocent and cute. It's too late for me to like it. How can I disturb you?"

Gu Chongyang's voice was very nice, with snow-white skin and a gentle smile, like a pretty flower on a branch, Hua Rong's face immediately turned red when he saw it.

Miss Gu was so beautiful, she even looked at her and smiled, Hua Rong's heart was beating so hard, she wanted to talk to Gu Chongyang, but she didn't know what to say.

Hua Ling hid behind Gu Chongyang, seeing his brother blushing, he booed, "Brother, why are you blushing?"

Why do I blush, you are talking nonsense!
Hua Rong wanted to deny it, but his face was hot, and his ears were hot, so he knew that his face must be blushing. He would never admit that he was blushing because of shyness, so he said: "It's cold outside, maybe It was the wind."

He sneaked a look at Gu Chongyang, saw that her expression was not moving, and she was still smiling happily, so he scolded his sister: "Your hands are covered in ink, you carefully stained Miss Gu's dress, come here soon !"

"Brother, the one with the dirty dress is you. Why don't you go back and change?" Hua Ling wanted to drive his brother away, but said indiscriminately: "Didn't you just say that you felt cold? Why don't you go back quickly and stick to your clothes?" Is there some ulterior plan here?"

When Hua Rong heard this, his face turned even redder, and he denied it flatly: "You are talking nonsense! I don't have any ulterior motives! I'm just...just..."

The 15-year-old boy's face was as red as a piece of cloth.If you want to leave but are afraid that you will leave by yourself, Gu Chongyang will think that you are guilty.Want to explain, but don't know what to say, that anxious look is very cute.

Just when Hua Rong was sitting on pins and needles, a servant girl's voice suddenly came from behind; "Master, Miss Gu, have you seen Miss?"

Hua Rong felt relieved, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Sister Ling is hiding behind Miss Gu!"

It was fine if he didn't turn his head, but when he turned his head, the maid was stunned for a moment, and then bent over with a "puh-bah" laugh.

Hua Rong didn't understand, so he asked, "What are you laughing at?"

The maid didn't answer, Hua Rong turned back to Gu Chongyang again.

Hua Ling painted a mustache on his lips with a brush, a mustache on his chin, two circles on his eyes, and a small flower on his forehead. How funny would that look be? .

Gu Chongyang had been enduring it all the time, but at this moment, the servant girl laughed so hard that she lost her image, and Hua Rong looked at him with a cute and innocent face again, Gu Chongyang couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help but also laughed.

Her smile was like a flower blooming, it was indescribably beautiful, and Hua Rong took a straight look.

Immediately afterwards, Dan Xin also laughed, and Hua Ling also laughed. Hua Rong realized that there was something on his face, and when he wiped it with his hand, his fingers were all black.

Why doesn't he understand what others are laughing at?
Immediately, he was ashamed and angry, and wanted to settle accounts with Hua Ling. It was fine if he didn't get angry, but when he got angry, his face changed, it became more funny, and everyone laughed even louder.

It turned out that Ms. Gu looked at her and smiled because she was too funny, and it wasn't... that she was interested in her.But he is so stupid, standing there still wanting to talk to Miss Gu...

Hua Rong watched his younger sister laughing and rolling on the boat, her blushing and purple face almost bleeding, she stood blankly for a moment, then ran away.

When he was running, he accidentally slipped and almost fell, and the laughter of the people behind him became even more unscrupulous, making him feel ashamed and indignant, wishing he could just jump into the river and forget it.

After this small episode, Gu Chongyang's mood improved a lot.

Along the way, she was no longer just bored in the cabin, and occasionally came out for activities.Hua Ling got acquainted with her, so he came to play with her, and showed her the result of the prank.Hearing Hua Ling happily showing off his achievements, Gu Chongyang could only mourn Hua Rong in his heart. With such a younger sister, I really don't know whether it is happiness or misfortune.

Perhaps because he felt too embarrassed, Hua Rong didn't show up again along the way. When Gu Chongyang thanked Mrs. Hua in Nanjing, he saw Hua Rong. He blushed and sent Gu Chongyang to the shore. He stopped talking, and finally chose to remain silent.

Gu Chongyang saw his uncle!

She didn't expect that her uncle would come to pick her up at the pier in person, and when she saw her, she knelt down and bowed down: "Chongyang met uncle."

How could the uncle be willing to let his niece be like this? Before she knelt down, he lifted her up and looked at her with a moved expression: "... She has grown taller and more beautiful, like your mother... If she is alive, I don't know what to do." How happy."

The uncle's eyes were shining with water, and his voice was a little choked up. Thinking of his mother, Gu Chongyang felt sore, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Okay, okay! The ferry is very windy, and the Chongyang Festival is coming from afar, so let's talk at home if we have anything to say."

It was only then that Gu Chongyang saw his aunt standing aside, and hurriedly bowed to his aunt respectfully. The aunt hugged her and sighed: "My good boy, we all know about your stay in the capital. You have suffered so much. From now on, you will live in Nanjing, with your uncles, aunts and your cousins ​​supporting you, no one can bully you anymore!"

My aunt is a kind-hearted person and loves her very much. In her previous life, Gu Chongyang always said that her uncle and aunt are her parents. She hugged her aunt's arm and nodded heavily: "Okay, I will obey my aunt."

Seeing Gu Chongyang like this, Mrs. Shen couldn't help feeling distressed when she thought of her sister-in-law who passed away.

When he arrived at Shen's house, Gu Chongyang met his elder cousin Shen Qian, his second cousin Shen Rang, his elder cousin Dong Shi, and his cousin Shen Suying. Except for his second cousin, everyone felt that this little cousin from the capital was a little strange. But when Gu Chongyang looked at them, he felt very familiar and friendly.

She greeted everyone familiarly, warmly gave everyone a meeting gift, and the gifts for everyone were just right. Her closeness from the heart made everyone fall in love with Gu in just a few days. Double Ninth Festival.

At the end of the year, every household has to buy New Year's supplies, the Shen family's shop is booming, and my uncle is not at home almost every day.

Gu Chongyang wanted to chat with his uncle about King Rong, but he never had the chance.

Firstly, uncle was too busy, and secondly, she hadn't figured out how to tell uncle yet.Even if she told her uncle, would uncle believe her?

It is now December, and the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, which means that Emperor Jianxing will pass away in one month.

In the previous life, Emperor Jianxing passed away in the first month of next year. After his death, the crown prince ascended the throne, Emperor Shunchang.

Emperor Shunchang divided the land between his two older brothers, King Fu and King Rong.

King Fu's fief is in Hangzhou, while King Rong's fief is in Chaozhou.Not only that, he also announced that Fu Wang has a leg disease and can recuperate in Beijing all year round without having to go to the vassal.King Rong must go to Chaozhou immediately.

Chaozhou is full of miasma and plague, and Lingnan is a land of barbarians. Anyone can see that this is Emperor Shunchang's punishment for King Rong.

But King Rong didn't object, and happily went to Chaozhou to become a fan.

Emperor Shunchang thought that he would send King Rong far away and never have any worries, but he never thought that King Rong had already bribed the eunuchs around him. Going to Chaozhou to become a vassal was not a punishment at all, but the next step for King Rong It's just chess.

As early as when he failed to seize the heir, King Rong knew that he was not destined for the throne, so he quietly shifted his power to the south, and going to Chaozhou as a fan was exactly what he wanted.

No one thought that King Rong, the successor of the feudal clan, took advantage of the convenience of Fuguang Sea City to control the shipping companies in Fuguang area to carry out ocean-going trade.

Two years later, Emperor Shunchang died of illness, King Rong went to Beijing for the funeral, killed the prince, and usurped the throne from his nephew.

Later, Wang Jiulang led the Xiongnu army to the south, killed King Rong, and established the youngest son of Emperor Shunchang as emperor.Under Wang Jiulang's persuasion, the new emperor said that the courtiers who took refuge in King Rong would not be sentenced to death, and they were exiled one after another.However, as soon as Wang Jiulang sat down, the new emperor went on a killing spree and beheaded all those related to King Rong. The uncle's family did not escape, and even she drank the poison.

Thinking of all this, it all started when Emperor Jianxing passed away and King Rong became a domain, Gu Chongyang couldn't help feeling very anxious.

She had to stop this from happening.

But now she is just a child, what can she do to win her uncle's trust?How can I stop my uncle from getting involved with King Rong?

Just thinking about this, cousin Shen Su ushered in, holding a burden in her arms, and asked Gu Chongyang with a smile: "Cousin, you have been in Nanjing for a few days, you must be bored, should I take you out for a walk today?"

"Okay, I've called since I called, and I haven't gone out yet." Although Gu Chongyang is not a child, he really can't think of a way to deal with it these days when he's stuck in his room, maybe he can discover something new when he goes out for a walk.

"I knew my cousin was bored." Shen Suying opened the bag, took out a set of men's clothes from inside, and handed it to Gu Chongyang: "Hurry up and change, we two will sneak out through the back door later."

ah!It turned out that she went out behind the back of her family, but she didn't expect Cousin Suying to be so naughty and playful when she was a child.

Gu Chongyang was a little moved, but he also knew that he and Shen Suying didn't look like men even if they wore men's clothes. It was the end of the year and the streets were crowded, so it would be bad if something happened.

She immediately said: "No! Cousin Suying, there are too many people outside. If you want to go out, you'd better tell your aunt. I dare not do such a thing like sneaking out."

Shen Suying drooped her face when she heard this: "Since you won't go, then I'll go by myself."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Shen's displeased voice came from the door: "Suying, you are too nonsense. You want to go out to play, but you still drag your cousin Chongyang, and there are so many people, what if you collide? Is that right? You are not young anymore, why are you still acting like this? Look at Chongyang, you are one year younger than me, and you are much calmer in speaking and doing things than you."

Before the words were finished, Mrs. Shen and the second young master Shen Rang walked in.

Shen Suying had a look of resentment, and Shen Rang smiled teasingly and proudly.

Shen Suying gave him a hard look.

Mrs. Shen said to Gu Chongyang gently: "Chongyang, you are a sensible child. If Suying is half as sensible as you, I don't know how much trouble I can save. Tomorrow our family will give porridge on Chengnan Street, and I will take you Go out and walk around."

"Thank you, aunt, for your compassion. In fact, I really want to go out for a walk. Even if my cousin doesn't come to see me, I still want to go out with my cousin."

Shen Su listened and gave Gu Chongyang a satisfied look.

But Mrs. Shen said: "I know the child I gave birth to myself, she is so ignorant, and she will not be allowed to go to the porridge tomorrow."

Shen Suying was shocked, and came up to hug Mrs. Shen: "How can this be done? I go every year, why don't you let me go this year? Mom, you can't stop loving me after having a cousin of Chongyang?"

As she spoke, she grabbed Mrs. Shen's arm and shook it.

Shen Rang said: "Mother, don't let your sister be fooled, she always acts like a baby."

Upon hearing this, Shen Suying glared at her brother angrily, and continued to plead in Mrs. Shen's arms.

Gu Chongyang also helped intercede: "Auntie, you can let the third cousin go. I am about the same age as the third cousin. With her by my side, I don't feel lonely."

In fact, Gu Chongyang knew that what his aunt said was just to scare his cousin.

Mrs. Shen made a helpless look: "For the sake of your cousin Chongyang, I agree with you to go. But you are not allowed to mess around tomorrow, and you have to take care of your cousin Chongyang and set a good example for her, otherwise I will send you off immediately. return."

"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Suying quickly assured: "I will take good care of my cousin Chongyang and be obedient."

After speaking, he took a provocative look at Shen Rang.

Not to be outdone, Shen Rang said: "Mother, there is still me. With me here, I will protect Cousin Chongyang and promise not to let her suffer any harm."

Shen Suying snorted through her nostrils.

Gu Chongyang burst out laughing, unexpectedly, Cousin Suying and Cousin Rang would still bicker like before, nothing changed.

She felt warm in her heart, and felt that all this was really good.She must maintain everything that is beautiful now.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Gu Chongyang went out with the Shen family.

The Shen family would give out porridge almost every year. This year, the heavy snowfall in Nanjing overwhelmed many houses. There were many more poor people in the relief hall than in previous years. The Shen family paid more attention to it than before.Except for the pregnant cousin Dong Shi and the young nephew Niu Niu, the Shen family all went to the porridge shed in the south of the city to give porridge.

The further you go south of the city, the more beggars and poor people there are on the streets.

There are many porridge sheds set up on Jijitang Street.

They said they were going to give porridge, but they were just watching from the side of the porridge shed. The ones who really served porridge for the poor were naturally the servants at home.

On the left of Shen's house is the porridge shed of Mr. Dou, the prefect of Nanjing.The second young master of the Dou family was busy giving out porridge, when he saw the Shen family, he hurriedly came forward to speak.

"I met my uncle and aunt."

Shen Yucheng smiled all over his face: "So it's the second young master, is the magistrate busy recently?"

"This year, there was a sudden heavy snowfall in Nanjing, which overwhelmed many private houses. Many new poor people poured into the relief hall every day. My father is very busy, so I can't come to give porridge in person this year."

A few days ago, Master Dou, the magistrate, went to the Shen family to ask the Shen family to take the lead in donating money to help the poor. Shen Yucheng also knew that Master Dou was very busy, so he nodded.

Mrs. Shen is more concerned about her daughter: "My wife should be feeling better, right?"

It turned out that the young lady of the Shen family married the young master of the prefect Dou's family, and the Shen family and the Dou family were related by marriage.A few days ago, the magistrate's wife was ill, and the eldest lady Shen Su'e waited on her bedside and never returned to her mother's house.

Second Young Master Dou's eyes turned on Gu Chongyang, showing surprise, he smiled and said to Mrs. Shen: "Thank you, Auntie, for your concern. Mother's health is much better than before. It's just that there are too many things to do next year, so I can't be tired. So, host All the affairs of Zhongfu were handed over to the sister-in-law. The mother said that the family could not live without the sister-in-law at the moment, and after the New Year, the elder brother and sister-in-law would lead Zhaodi to pay New Year greetings to uncles and aunts."

After speaking, his eyes fell on Gu Chongyang calmly.
