Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl
Chapter 143
Chapter 143
Gu Chongyang was not surprised by Gu Chongzhen's behavior. Gu Chongyang had already seen how thick-skinned she was when she was still Yao Zhenzhen.
Gu Chongzhu was so angry that she stared at Gu Chongzhen for a long time. After all, she didn't have the courage to come up to hold Gu Chongyang's arm. It was her limit to speak to Gu Chongyang in a low voice just now.
She couldn't pull that face off, but others could.Chai Xiyue walked over with a smile, squeezed between Gu Chongzhu and Gu Chongyang calmly, took her arm affectionately and said: "The fourth cousin must not know that I am coming, so she must not have prepared a gift for me, but It doesn't matter, I came from Hubei, and I specially prepared a gift for my fourth cousin, which is a handkerchief embroidered by me, I hope my fourth cousin will not be disgusted with it."
Gu Chongyang was smiling, but his heart was very exciting.
Even if she was confused at first, she has come to her senses now.
Now Mrs. Cui is in charge of the house, and she is the celebrity in front of Mrs. Cui. In order to win Mrs. Cui's favor, they naturally try to make friends with themselves.
Seeing the scene of the sisters being intimate, Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "It seems that you have learned the rules in vain in the past few months. Only when brothers and sisters are in harmony can the family prosper. You sisters go to Guanju Courtyard to talk, stay here tonight Come down for dinner, and when dinner is ready, I will ask the servant girl to call you."
No wonder everyone behaved so well. It turned out that the uncle and grandma hired a nun to teach them.Thinking of the stern look of the nuns, Gu Chongyang mourned silently for them.
After they left, Mrs. Ying frowned and said: "Mother, these girls are only friendly on the surface, and they are not competing with each other inwardly."
Mrs. Cui smiled open-mindedly: "As long as you are friendly on the surface and don't lose the face of our Qingyang Hou Mansion when you go out, let them fight in private. Who can lose their temper? Anyway, it's just a girl's needlework. Little things can't make any big waves."
Mrs. Ying listened and nodded in admiration.
Gu Chongyang was almost supported by Gu Chongzhen and Chai Xiyue back to Guanju Courtyard. Chai Xiyue, not to be outdone, gave the handkerchief embroidered by her to Gu Chongyang: "Fourth cousin, you know the conditions of my family. There's nothing you can get your hands on, Fourth Cousin, don't be disgusted."
When she said it, she had a proper expression of embarrassment and guilt on her face.
This Chai Xiyue, a born actor, can't help but act for a while.In the last life, I was deceived by her appearance. According to her previous personality, she should have thrown the veil over her face and ridiculed her.But after going through so many things, she is no longer the impulsive and ignorant Gu Chongyang she used to be, isn't she just acting?Who wouldn't.
"Cousin Xiyue is so polite. I treat you as my own sister in my heart. How could I despise you? If you say that, don't tell me you don't treat me as a sister?"
What she used to think was hypocritical and disdained to say, can now open her mouth, which is also a gift from Bai Chai Xiyue.
"Fourth cousin, you are so kind to me!" Chai Xiyue's eyes were red, acting very realistically.It's a pity that when she wiped her tears, the flash of light in her eyes still betrayed her true inner thoughts.
Very good, Gu Chongyang has already been fooled!As long as she has a good relationship with Gu Chongyang, how can she, Chai Xiyue, have no good future!
Gu Chongyang picked up the teacup unintentionally, covering the sneer at the corner of his mouth. The best way to deal with Chai Xiyue is to put her by his side, numb her, and make her think that he has fooled everyone with his superior skills .
"Fourth Sister, why do you only talk to Cousin Xiyue and ignore me." Gu Chongzhen said unyieldingly, "Didn't you say you brought me a gift? Where is it?"
Gu Chongyang asked Dan Xin to take out the presents. Gu Chongzhen was a pair of gold silk bracelets, Gu Chongzhu was a pair of jade hairpins, and Chai Xiyue was a pair of silver earrings.
"I'm really sorry, Cousin Xiyue, I really didn't know you were coming, I wasn't prepared, I only have this pair of silver earrings, you won't be disgusted?"
"Fourth cousin!" Chai Xiyue scolded, "I treat you as my own sister, even if you don't give me anything, I won't blame you, so why would I despise you!"
"This bracelet is really beautiful." Gu Chongzhen said with a smile: "It's pure gold, it is said that the fourth sister's uncle's family is a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. It really is extraordinary. I really like the real bracelet."
She glanced at the jade hairpin in Gu Chongzhu's hand, and said with contempt: "This jade hairpin is fine, but it's too plain."
snort!Vulgar, ignorant, shallow.
Gu Chongzhu sneered, not to be outdone, and said: "Fourth sister, you know me best and know that I like elegant things. This jade hairpin is really beautiful, and there are peonies carved on it. You can tell that the quality and workmanship are first-class. Sure enough, you really put your heart into it. Some people are born superficial and have never seen the world, and they like gold and silver, how can they tell the difference between good and bad things!"
Gu Chongzhen couldn't help but blushed, she wanted to refute but had nothing to say, she just stared at Gu Chongzhu.
Gu Chongzhu didn't show any weakness, and naturally glared at her fiercely.The room was full of swords and swords, and it seemed that a fight might break out at any moment.
At this moment, the servant girl Huang Ying came: "Miss, there is a meal from the Xirong Courtyard, please move."
Chai Xiyue stepped forward to take Gu Chongyang's arm, Gu Chongzhu behaved this time, and did not show weakness to take Gu Chongyang's other arm.
A prominent family with hairpin tassels like the Gu family naturally pays attention to eating without talking or sleeping. Everyone ate quietly, talked with Mrs. Cui for a while, and then dispersed.
After leaving Xirong Courtyard, Gu Chongzhen said affectionately: "My good sister, we haven't seen each other for so long, I will stay in Guanju Courtyard to sleep with you tonight, okay, let's have a good talk, sisters?"
Gu Chongzhu also stepped forward and said, "Fourth sister, I want to stay too."
Gu Chongyang only felt that one head had two big heads: "Sisters, I've been on the boat for several days, and I'm really tired. I don't have the energy to talk to you. You all go back tonight. I'll rest in a few days. , talk to you again, okay?"
Gu Chongzhu hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Gu Chongzhen didn't speak, she swallowed the words again.Although she didn't have anything to say to Gu Chongyang, she absolutely couldn't admit defeat.
The two stared at each other with wide eyes, and one of them held Gu Chongyang's arm without giving way.
"Okay, okay!" Chai Xiyue stepped forward and persuaded softly: "Fourth cousin looks tired, I feel sorry for fourth cousin when you make such a fuss about her, please let go and let fourth cousin have a good rest Well, come back tomorrow during the daytime. Anyway, the fourth cousin has already returned home, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get close in the future."
"Humph!"
Gu Chongzhen and Gu Chongzhu snorted coldly, turned their faces away respectively, let go, and left.
Looking at their cockfighting appearance, Gu Chongyang couldn't help laughing. After leaving Beijing for half a year, things at home have really changed a lot.
Chai Xiyue also laughed: "They are all children at heart, and they never intend to snatch the fourth cousin as an object. Fourth cousin, please don't be angry."
Gu Chongyang sneered, pretending not to understand her provocative words, and said with a smile: "Cousin Xiyue, don't worry, they are all my sisters, how could I be angry?"
Chai Xiyue froze for a moment, then returned to normal after a while: "That's good, but I was overthinking. Cousin Chongyang, you only have Dan Xin and a maid by your side, so you must be in a hurry to clean up, why don't I stay to help you clean up tonight Bar."
"No need, Cousin Xiyue." Gu Chongyang refused, "Dan Xin alone is enough. I rejected Second Sister and Sister Zhen, and left you alone. The two of them will definitely trouble you tomorrow. Besides I see you as my own sister, so how can I be willing to let you do what a maid does."
A moved look instantly appeared on Chai Xiyue's face: "Fourth cousin, you always think about me, I'm so touched."
"You're welcome, my sisters, you should." Gu Chongyang said, "I'll go back first, and Cousin Xiyue should go back earlier, after all, it's getting late."
When Gu Chongyang left, Chai Xiyue was so angry that she tore off the veil.
Now she is living in Qingyanghou's Mansion, she thought that if she won the favor of Mrs. Cui, she could marry into a noble family.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cui opened her mouth to be the right family, and kept her mouth shut to behave. She almost told her not to wishful thinking, and she never had a chance to show her face.
Now that he has finally climbed up to the fourth wife, Xiao Geshi, she is not easy to deal with. Xiao Geshi just uses her to fight with the second wife, to anger the second wife and Gu Chongzhu.Now that Gu Chongyang is back, Little Ge didn't like Gu Chongyang, so she wanted to act as an eyeliner and report Gu Chongyang's every move to her. Today, she patted her chest and promised to take Gu Chongyang down. Little Ge Shi must blame her for failing to do things well.
Chai Xiyue stomped her feet, glanced in the direction of Guanju Courtyard, and said bitterly: "Gu Chongyang, sooner or later you will become a pawn in my palm."
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Chongyang greeted Mrs. Cui, and met the second lady in Xirongyuan. She took the second lady Gu Chongzhu with her. Eighteen changes, more and more beautiful, no wonder there are so many girls in the family, the eldest aunt loves you alone, even if I see it, I like it very much."
How fickle is the human heart!In the past, when Mrs. Ge was in charge of the house, the second lady was very indifferent to herself, and even taunted herself because of Gu Chongzhu. Now that the feng shui has changed, she has lowered her figure to compliment herself.
Although she knew that her words were duplicity and her purpose was not pure, but it really felt good to be praised and flattered.
Gu Chongzhu looked at Gu Chongyang with a smile: "Fourth sister, you see, this hosta matches me very well, I like it so much."
As she said that, she looked at Mrs. Cui again: "Grandmother, look, isn't she pretty?"
The emerald green jade hairpin was like a stream of spring water, carried in Gu Zhongzhu's cloud-like bun, making her hair look like brocade even more.
Mrs. Cui just laughed: "Sister Zhu was born with a beautiful face, this jade hairpin is very suitable for you."
Gu Chongzhu pursed her lips and smiled: "It's the fourth younger sister who has good eyesight. She chose this jade hairpin, which made me look very pretty."
The second sister has really changed a lot, it's almost like a different person.Although this delicate appearance is not in her nature, it is commendable that she can control her fiery temper.
"Second sister is beautiful, and the jade hairpin is just icing on the cake."
Mrs. Cui also said: "Sister Zhu is good-looking, otherwise Mrs. Yan Enhou would not ask someone to ask."
The second lady was stunned for a moment: "Auntie, is what you said true?"
Mrs. Cui nodded and said: "When I was worshiping Buddha at Tantuo Temple, I met Mrs. Yan Enhou. She likes Miss Zhu very much."
Gu Chongyang's breathing couldn't help but stagnate, Yan Enhou's Mansion?Isn't it He Runnian's family?
If calculated according to time, He Runnian would have married his childhood sweetheart cousin by now, right?Yes, he married his cousin, who died in childbirth, and he became a young widower.
If she guessed correctly, Mrs. Yan Enhou wanted to marry her second sister for He Runnian.
Before, Gu Chongzhu failed to frame Gu Chongzhi, but instead hurt herself.Although the girls who came that day were all young girls who were related to the Gu family, and Mrs. Ge gave gifts to each family afterwards to seal the silence, but those who knew the inside still felt that Gu Chongzhu's morals were corrupt.
After Mrs. Cui took charge of the house, the first thing she did was to invite the female wife and nuns to set up rules for the girls of the Gu family.
When Gu Weirui was ill, Mrs. Cui once made a vow in front of the Buddha to copy the scriptures and worship the Buddha. In the first half of this year, she took Gu Chongzhu to Tantuo Temple for a long-term stay.
The second lady loves her daughter dearly, so she is naturally reluctant, but she can't resist the order of Old Madam Cui.
After Gu Chongzhu came back, she seemed to be a different person and was very polite. The second lady was very happy.
At this moment, when she heard that her daughter had the blue eyes of Mrs. Yan Enhou, she was even more pleasantly surprised, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of pride.
Although Qingyang Hou's Mansion is also a Hou's Mansion, Lord Hou Gu Weirui has no real power. The Marquis of Yan'en's Mansion is different. Marquis of Yan'en is the servant of the Ministry of War. His three sons, except the youngest son, the eldest son and the second son All have military exploits.If sister Zhu could marry into the Marquis of Yan'en's residence, it would be a great joy.
Although the second wife was happy, she was not confused yet, she asked: "Aren't the three young masters of the Yan Enhou family already married?"
"They are all married. However, the third son's wife died of dystocia half a year ago, and now he lives alone." Mrs. Cui said: "Yanenhou is the servant of the Ministry of War, and his family background is better than our Qingyanghou's mansion. Although the third son is She is a widower, but she is only 17 years old this year, and the wife in front died of dystocia, and there is no man and half woman left behind. If the girl from the Gu family marries, even though she is the second wife, she will not be much different from the original wife. "
After hearing so much from Mrs. Cui, the second lady was obviously moved: "The family background is indeed very good, but I don't know how the third son's character looks like?"
Mrs. Cui also nodded and said: "You are very right, nothing else is important, the most important thing is character. I have never seen that child, but Yan Enhou is a respectful person, and Madam is also a serious and polite person. The husband and wife are rigid but not harsh, and the child will not be a loafer. However, it is better to see it with your own eyes. How about this, let Hou Ye be the host tomorrow, and invite the third son to our house, you take the opportunity to meet See you last time, okay?"
"That's really great." The second lady was very happy: "Thank you, auntie, sister Zhu is ten times better than my mother."
"Who does my aunt want to invite?" When the curtain moved, Ge Bilian walked in with Gu Chongzhen and Chai Xiyue: "I said why the second sister-in-law came so early today, so she wanted to say hello to the second lady!"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Chongzhu's face turned red all of a sudden.
Although they intended to talk about marriage, Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Fei did not point it out, and Gu Chongzhu knew it well, so she kept silent.Ge Bilian spoke bluntly as soon as she entered the door, Gu Chongzhu was naturally shy, and got up to leave.
Mrs. Cui stopped her: "It's a matter of your life. I don't know what the rules are in other people's families, but here I don't need to hide. Instead of covering up and asking secretly, it's better to understand openly. In the past Sister Fang was like this when she got married, and you all will be like this in the future."
Gu Chongzhu's face was flushed, and she glanced at Mrs. Cui gratefully.
The second wife seemed to have won the sword of Shang Fang, and she smiled provocatively: "The fourth younger sister is right, the other party is the third son of the Yanenhou Mansion, and he may come to the mansion tomorrow to show us, and then I will ask the fourth younger sister to help me hold it." Palm eyes are."
Ge Bilian's skinny smile wasn't real: "What the second sister-in-law said is that tomorrow I must come and see what kind of talent these three young masters are."
Not to be outdone, the two confronted each other.
Gu Chongyang listened dazedly, feeling a little dazed. He really didn't expect that He Runnian would discuss marriage with his second sister.
After being reborn, she deliberately ignored the name, not thinking about the unbearable past.Hearing the news of the He family suddenly today, he was a bit stunned.
Gu Chongzhen glared at Gu Chongzhu angrily, Ge Bilian and the second wife stared at Gu Chongyang, only Chai Xiyue stared closely at Gu Chongyang, seeing her losing her composure, she felt a little puzzled.
Gu Chongyang's complexion is not very good-looking, does she have something to do with the third son of Marquis Yanen?In other words, the Marquis of Yan'en's mansion is also a good family, if Gu Chongzhu and Gu Chongyang's two daughters earn a husband, maybe she can profit from it.
After making up her mind, Chai Xiyue decided not to speak anymore, and she must inquire about it when she has the right opportunity. She lowered her head and stood gently behind Ge Bilian in silence.
Gu Chongyang suddenly felt a sharp gaze on her body, she raised her head, and met Ge Bilian's sinister smiling face: "Miss Si, long time no see."
I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and Ge Bilian's hobbies are still the same as before. She wears a begonia red begonia, combs a flying bun, and wears an eight-treasure hairpin on her head.Gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup could not hide the deep tiredness between her brows.
Gu Chongyang hurriedly stood up, walked to Ge Bilian's side and blessed her body lightly: "I have seen the Fourth Madam."
Counting the days, it has been almost two years since Ge Bilian entered the house, but her stomach still hasn't moved.
She smiled slightly at Ge Bilian, feeling very happy in her heart.Without your mother's dowry, without the support of the fourth master, your life will be difficult, right?
In the previous life, you were happy when you entered the house, and you had my mother's dowry to squander. You were naturally high-spirited, and you squeezed me into a circle and flattened me in the palm of your hand. In this life, you have nothing. I see what else you have to fight with me!
Ge Bilian's hands hidden in her sleeves clenched even tighter, Gu Chongyang, you and your dead ghost mother are my natural enemies, and with me, Ge Bilian, you can never expect to have a good life.
"We're all a family, don't be too polite." Ge Bilian smiled slightly: "If you have time, remember to come to the Rongdong Courtyard for a sit-down, so we two can talk."
"Yes." Gu Chongyang agreed quickly, but everyone knew that she was just saying nicely, and she would never go to Rongdongyuan.
The second lady suddenly let out a slight laugh, which was quite ironic.
Ge Bilian felt that she had lost face, and opened her mouth to force Gu Chongyang to go to the Rongdong Courtyard to pay her respects, but Mrs. Cui said, "Okay, that's it for today, you go your separate ways."
This old Mrs. Cui, telling others that the rules are good and the rules are short, but she always protects Gu Chongyang, is really hateful!
Although angry, Ge Bilian didn't dare to show it, so she had to retreat with hatred.
After paying his respects, Gu Chongyang went out to Wang's house to study with Mrs. Baozhen.
Mrs. Cui already knew that Gu Chongyang worshiped Mrs. Baozhen as her teacher, and she only said that Gu Chongyang was a blessed and lucky person, so she naturally agreed very much: "Chonghua is a leader in Ruizhu Academy, and has already made the little ladies in the capital envy I can't stop. If the news of you worshiping Mrs. Baozhen as your teacher gets out, those little ladies will probably be stunned to death."
But Gu Chongyang asked her to help keep it secret, and said: "Although I have already worshiped Mrs. Baozhen, I really can't do anything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Before I have achieved results, I don't want to let others know with great fanfare. I worship Mr. as my teacher to learn something, not to fight against others, nor do I want to show off."
"Don't be shocked by honor or disgrace, this is very good. You went to Nanjing, you have grown taller, and you have become more stable and mature." Mrs. Cui said: "From now on, I will go to Wang's house to study every morning as I did in Nanjing. This place is not used to pay respects for the time being, family, don’t talk about those empty etiquette.”
"Thank you, great-aunt."
In this way, Gu Chongyang's life seems to have returned to the way it was in Nanjing. He went to study with Mrs. Baozhen every morning and arranged freely in the afternoon.
The journey from the Gu family to the Wang family takes about half an hour, and there are several streets in the middle.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Chongyang recalled what he had learned a few days ago, and thought about what questions Mrs. Baozhen might ask today, and how he would answer them.In the past, she was often ridiculed and looked down upon because of her lack of knowledge in poetry and books. Now that she has such an opportunity, she must study hard.
After several months of immersion, she has indeed made great progress.The Wang family is worthy of being a family that looks down on the emperor, and Mrs. Baozhen is worthy of being the most talented woman in Daqi.As the saying goes, a famous teacher produces a talented student. Although she is not a talented student and cannot compare with a talented girl like Gu Chonghua, she is much better than ordinary girls at this time, at least a hundred times better than her previous life.
Suddenly the carriage stopped, and she was about to ask what happened, when a familiar voice came from outside: "Cousin Chongyang, are you inside?"
It was Hao Shaoyang. He had called her like that countless times before, which made her feel joyful and sweet, but now there was only a touch of bitterness left.It won't be long before even the bitterness will disappear, and there will be only peace.

Gu Chongyang was not surprised by Gu Chongzhen's behavior. Gu Chongyang had already seen how thick-skinned she was when she was still Yao Zhenzhen.

No wonder everyone behaved so well. It turned out that the uncle and grandma hired a nun to teach them.Thinking of the stern look of the nuns, Gu Chongyang mourned silently for them.
After they left, Mrs. Ying frowned and said: "Mother, these girls are only friendly on the surface, and they are not competing with each other inwardly."
Mrs. Cui smiled open-mindedly: "As long as you are friendly on the surface and don't lose the face of our Qingyang Hou Mansion when you go out, let them fight in private. Who can lose their temper? Anyway, it's just a girl's needlework. Little things can't make any big waves."

Gu Chongyang asked Dan Xin to take out the presents. Gu Chongzhen was a pair of gold silk bracelets, Gu Chongzhu was a pair of jade hairpins, and Chai Xiyue was a pair of silver earrings.
"I'm really sorry, Cousin Xiyue, I really didn't know you were coming, I wasn't prepared, I only have this pair of silver earrings, you won't be disgusted?"
"Fourth cousin!" Chai Xiyue scolded, "I treat you as my own sister, even if you don't give me anything, I won't blame you, so why would I despise you!"
"This bracelet is really beautiful." Gu Chongzhen said with a smile: "It's pure gold, it is said that the fourth sister's uncle's family is a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. It really is extraordinary. I really like the real bracelet."
She glanced at the jade hairpin in Gu Chongzhu's hand, and said with contempt: "This jade hairpin is fine, but it's too plain."

"Humph!"
Gu Chongzhen and Gu Chongzhu snorted coldly, turned their faces away respectively, let go, and left.
Looking at their cockfighting appearance, Gu Chongyang couldn't help laughing. After leaving Beijing for half a year, things at home have really changed a lot.

"No need, Cousin Xiyue." Gu Chongyang refused, "Dan Xin alone is enough. I rejected Second Sister and Sister Zhen, and left you alone. The two of them will definitely trouble you tomorrow. Besides I see you as my own sister, so how can I be willing to let you do what a maid does."
A moved look instantly appeared on Chai Xiyue's face: "Fourth cousin, you always think about me, I'm so touched."
"You're welcome, my sisters, you should." Gu Chongyang said, "I'll go back first, and Cousin Xiyue should go back earlier, after all, it's getting late."
When Gu Chongyang left, Chai Xiyue was so angry that she tore off the veil.
Now she is living in Qingyanghou's Mansion, she thought that if she won the favor of Mrs. Cui, she could marry into a noble family.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cui opened her mouth to be the right family, and kept her mouth shut to behave. She almost told her not to wishful thinking, and she never had a chance to show her face.
Now that he has finally climbed up to the fourth wife, Xiao Geshi, she is not easy to deal with. Xiao Geshi just uses her to fight with the second wife, to anger the second wife and Gu Chongzhu.Now that Gu Chongyang is back, Little Ge didn't like Gu Chongyang, so she wanted to act as an eyeliner and report Gu Chongyang's every move to her.

Chai Xiyue stomped her feet, glanced in the direction of Guanju Courtyard, and said bitterly: "Gu Chongyang, sooner or later you will become a pawn in my palm."
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Chongyang greeted Mrs. Cui, and met the second lady in Xirongyuan. She took the second lady Gu Chongzhu with her. Eighteen changes, more and more beautiful, no wonder there are so many girls in the family, the eldest aunt loves you alone, even if I see it, I like it very much."
How fickle is the human heart!In the past, when Mrs. Ge was in charge of the house, the second lady was very indifferent to herself, and even taunted herself because of Gu Chongzhu. Now that the feng shui has changed, she has lowered her figure to compliment herself.
Although she knew that her words were duplicity and her purpose was not pure, but it really felt good to be praised and flattered.
Gu Chongzhu looked at Gu Chongyang with a smile: "Fourth sister, you see, this hosta matches me very well, I like it so much."
As she said that, she looked at Mrs. Cui again: "Grandmother, look, isn't she pretty?"
The emerald green jade hairpin was like a stream of spring water, carried in Gu Zhongzhu's cloud-like bun, making her hair look like brocade even more.
Mrs. Cui just laughed: "Sister Zhu was born with a beautiful face, this jade hairpin is very suitable for you."
Gu Chongzhu pursed her lips and smiled: "It's the fourth younger sister who has good eyesight. She chose this jade hairpin, which made me look very pretty."
The second sister has really changed a lot, it's almost like a different person.Although this delicate appearance is not in her nature, it is commendable that she can control her fiery temper.
"Second sister is beautiful, and the jade hairpin is just icing on the cake."
Mrs. Cui also said: "Sister Zhu is good-looking, otherwise Mrs. Yan Enhou would not ask someone to ask."
The second lady was stunned for a moment: "Auntie, is what you said true?"
Mrs. Cui nodded and said: "When I was worshiping Buddha at Tantuo Temple, I met Mrs. Yan Enhou. She likes Miss Zhu very much."
Gu Chongyang's breathing couldn't help but stagnate, Yan Enhou's Mansion?Isn't it He Runnian's family?
If calculated according to time, He Runnian would have married his childhood sweetheart cousin by now, right?Yes, he married his cousin, who died in childbirth, and he became a young widower.
If she guessed correctly, Mrs. Yan Enhou wanted to marry her second sister for He Runnian.
Before, Gu Chongzhu failed to frame Gu Chongzhi, but instead hurt herself.Although the girls who came that day were all young girls who were related to the Gu family, and Mrs. Ge gave gifts to each family afterwards to seal the silence, but those who knew the inside still felt that Gu Chongzhu's morals were corrupt.
After Mrs. Cui took charge of the house, the first thing she did was to invite the female wife and nuns to set up rules for the girls of the Gu family.
When Gu Weirui was ill, Mrs. Cui once made a vow in front of the Buddha to copy the scriptures and worship the Buddha. In the first half of this year, she took Gu Chongzhu to Tantuo Temple for a long-term stay.
The second lady loves her daughter dearly, so she is naturally reluctant, but she can't resist the order of Old Madam Cui.
After Gu Chongzhu came back, she seemed to be a different person and was very polite. The second lady was very happy.
At this moment, when she heard that her daughter had the blue eyes of Mrs. Yan Enhou, she was even more pleasantly surprised, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of pride.
Although Qingyang Hou's Mansion is also a Hou's Mansion, Lord Hou Gu Weirui has no real power. The Marquis of Yan'en's Mansion is different. Marquis of Yan'en is the servant of the Ministry of War. His three sons, except the youngest son, the eldest son and the second son All have military exploits.If sister Zhu could marry into the Marquis of Yan'en's residence, it would be a great joy.
Although the second wife was happy, she was not confused yet, she asked: "Aren't the three young masters of the Yan Enhou family already married?"
"They are all married. However, the third son's wife died of dystocia half a year ago, and now he lives alone." Mrs. Cui said: "Yanenhou is the servant of the Ministry of War, and his family background is better than our Qingyanghou's mansion. Although the third son is She is a widower, but she is only 17 years old this year, and the wife in front died of dystocia, and there is no man and half woman left behind. If the girl from the Gu family marries, even though she is the second wife, she will not be much different from the original wife. "
After hearing so much from Mrs. Cui, the second lady was obviously moved: "The family background is indeed very good, but I don't know how the third son's character looks like?"
Mrs. Cui also nodded and said: "You are very right, nothing else is important, the most important thing is character. I have never seen that child, but Yan Enhou is a respectful person, and Madam is also a serious and polite person. The husband and wife are rigid but not harsh, and the child will not be a loafer. However, it is better to see it with your own eyes. How about this, let Hou Ye be the host tomorrow, and invite the third son to our house, you take the opportunity to meet See you last time, okay?"
"That's really great." The second lady was very happy: "Thank you, auntie, sister Zhu is ten times better than my mother."
"Who does my aunt want to invite?" When the curtain moved, Ge Bilian walked in with Gu Chongzhen and Chai Xiyue: "I said why the second sister-in-law came so early today, so she wanted to say hello to the second lady!"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Chongzhu's face turned red all of a sudden.
Although they intended to talk about marriage, Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Fei did not point it out, and Gu Chongzhu knew it well, so she kept silent.Ge Bilian spoke bluntly as soon as she entered the door, Gu Chongzhu was naturally shy, and got up to leave.
Mrs. Cui stopped her: "It's a matter of your life. I don't know what the rules are in other people's families, but here I don't need to hide. Instead of covering up and asking secretly, it's better to understand openly. In the past Sister Fang was like this when she got married, and you all will be like this in the future."
Gu Chongzhu's face was flushed, and she glanced at Mrs. Cui gratefully.
The second wife seemed to have won the sword of Shang Fang, and she smiled provocatively: "The fourth younger sister is right, the other party is the third son of the Yanenhou Mansion, and he may come to the mansion tomorrow to show us, and then I will ask the fourth younger sister to help me hold it." Palm eyes are."
Ge Bilian's skinny smile wasn't real: "What the second sister-in-law said is that tomorrow I must come and see what kind of talent these three young masters are."
Not to be outdone, the two confronted each other.
Gu Chongyang listened dazedly, feeling a little dazed. He really didn't expect that He Runnian would discuss marriage with his second sister.
After being reborn, she deliberately ignored the name, not thinking about the unbearable past.Hearing the news of the He family suddenly today, he was a bit stunned.
Gu Chongzhen glared at Gu Chongzhu angrily, Ge Bilian and the second wife stared at Gu Chongyang, only Chai Xiyue stared closely at Gu Chongyang, seeing her losing her composure, she felt a little puzzled.
Gu Chongyang's complexion is not very good-looking, does she have something to do with the third son of Marquis Yanen?In other words, the Marquis of Yan'en's mansion is also a good family, if Gu Chongzhu and Gu Chongyang's two daughters earn a husband, maybe she can profit from it.
After making up her mind, Chai Xiyue decided not to speak anymore, and she must inquire about it when she has the right opportunity. She lowered her head and stood gently behind Ge Bilian in silence.
Gu Chongyang suddenly felt a sharp gaze on her body, she raised her head, and met Ge Bilian's sinister smiling face: "Miss Si, long time no see."
I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and Ge Bilian's hobbies are still the same as before. She wears a begonia red begonia, combs a flying bun, and wears an eight-treasure hairpin on her head.Gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup could not hide the deep tiredness between her brows.
Gu Chongyang hurriedly stood up, walked to Ge Bilian's side and blessed her body lightly: "I have seen the Fourth Madam."
Counting the days, it has been almost two years since Ge Bilian entered the house, but her stomach still hasn't moved.
She smiled slightly at Ge Bilian, feeling very happy in her heart.Without your mother's dowry, without the support of the fourth master, your life will be difficult, right?
In the previous life, you were happy when you entered the house, and you had my mother's dowry to squander. You were naturally high-spirited, and you squeezed me into a circle and flattened me in the palm of your hand. In this life, you have nothing. I see what else you have to fight with me!
Ge Bilian's hands hidden in her sleeves clenched even tighter, Gu Chongyang, you and your dead ghost mother are my natural enemies, and with me, Ge Bilian, you can never expect to have a good life.
"We're all a family, don't be too polite." Ge Bilian smiled slightly: "If you have time, remember to come to the Rongdong Courtyard for a sit-down, so we two can talk."
"Yes." Gu Chongyang agreed quickly, but everyone knew that she was just saying nicely, and she would never go to Rongdongyuan.
The second lady suddenly let out a slight laugh, which was quite ironic.
Ge Bilian felt that she had lost face, and opened her mouth to force Gu Chongyang to go to the Rongdong Courtyard to pay her respects, but Mrs. Cui said, "Okay, that's it for today, you go your separate ways."
This old Mrs. Cui, telling others that the rules are good and the rules are short, but she always protects Gu Chongyang, is really hateful!
Although angry, Ge Bilian didn't dare to show it, so she had to retreat with hatred.
After paying his respects, Gu Chongyang went out to Wang's house to study with Mrs. Baozhen.
Mrs. Cui already knew that Gu Chongyang worshiped Mrs. Baozhen as her teacher, and she only said that Gu Chongyang was a blessed and lucky person, so she naturally agreed very much: "Chonghua is a leader in Ruizhu Academy, and has already made the little ladies in the capital envy I can't stop. If the news of you worshiping Mrs. Baozhen as your teacher gets out, those little ladies will probably be stunned to death."
But Gu Chongyang asked her to help keep it secret, and said: "Although I have already worshiped Mrs. Baozhen, I really can't do anything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Before I have achieved results, I don't want to let others know with great fanfare. I worship Mr. as my teacher to learn something, not to fight against others, nor do I want to show off."
"Don't be shocked by honor or disgrace, this is very good. You went to Nanjing, you have grown taller, and you have become more stable and mature." Mrs. Cui said: "From now on, I will go to Wang's house to study every morning as I did in Nanjing. This place is not used to pay respects for the time being, family, don’t talk about those empty etiquette.”
"Thank you, great-aunt."
In this way, Gu Chongyang's life seems to have returned to the way it was in Nanjing. He went to study with Mrs. Baozhen every morning and arranged freely in the afternoon.
The journey from the Gu family to the Wang family takes about half an hour, and there are several streets in the middle.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Chongyang recalled what he had learned a few days ago, and thought about what questions Mrs. Baozhen might ask today, and how he would answer them.In the past, she was often ridiculed and looked down upon because of her lack of knowledge in poetry and books. Now that she has such an opportunity, she must study hard.
After several months of immersion, she has indeed made great progress.The Wang family is worthy of being a family that looks down on the emperor, and Mrs. Baozhen is worthy of being the most talented woman in Daqi.As the saying goes, a famous teacher produces a talented student. Although she is not a talented student and cannot compare with a talented girl like Gu Chonghua, she is much better than ordinary girls at this time, at least a hundred times better than her previous life.
Suddenly the carriage stopped, and she was about to ask what happened, when a familiar voice came from outside: "Cousin Chongyang, are you inside?"
It was Hao Shaoyang. He had called her like that countless times before, which made her feel joyful and sweet, but now there was only a touch of bitterness left.It won't be long before even the bitterness will disappear, and there will be only peace.
