Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl

Chapter 146
Gu Chongyang looked at the sincere Gu Chongzhen, and asked, "Why did you tell me? If Ge Bilian found out, wouldn't she deal with you?"

"Even if I don't tell you, the fourth lady won't treat me differently."

Mentioning this matter, Gu Chongzhen couldn't help being very angry: "The fourth madam only has Chai Xiyue in her eyes now, and she is counting on Chai Xiyue to advise her all day long. In her eyes, I can't even compare with Chai Xiyue's little finger." , She will only rely on her status as a stepmother to scold me, threaten me, and use my marriage to make trouble for me. Although I am from an outsider, I have also been on the genealogy. The decent Miss Gu family is not as good as Chai Xiyue now. "

"Fourth sister, I can only rely on you now. I just ask you one thing. If the fourth wife wants to make a fuss about my marriage, can you help me?"

She could see clearly that Gu Chongyang was kind and soft-hearted, rich and generous, and loved by her aunt and aunt. The only one she could rely on in the Gu family was Gu Chongyang.

Seeing her like that, Gu Chongyang guessed what she was thinking. Ge Bilian had no money, and had an argument with the fourth master, so he could only play the prestige of his stepmother in front of Gu Chongzhen.Now that she couldn't control herself, she used the previous methods on Gu Chongzhen.

The Gu Chongzhen in front of her is her former self.

If no one was willing to help her in the past, how could she treat Chai Xiyue as a close sister and obey her?
Gu Chongyang readily agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this task. If you are free, walk around with Aunt Yingda more often, she is kind-hearted and will not harm you."

What Gu Chongzhen wanted was Gu Chongyang's words, she smiled contentedly: "I will remember what the fourth sister said."

Three days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of Mrs. Xin Guogong's birthday.

Mrs. Ying took the Gu family sisters to the Xinguo Mansion early, and Gu Chonghua, the young lady who had been studying at Ruizhu Academy, also returned to the Gu family the afternoon before.

She was wearing water-blue clothes and light makeup, as noble and elegant as an orchid.

Mrs. Ying asked: "How is the preparation of the song? There are so many famous ladies here today. This is a good opportunity for you to make an appearance. You must not make mistakes."

Gu Chonghua felt bitter in his heart, and said softly: "Don't worry, Aunt Ying, there will be no mistakes."

Mrs. Ying saw the slight worry in her brows, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Chonghua quickly smiled: "Thank you, Auntie Ying, for your concern, I'm fine."

Mrs. Xin Guogong and his wife gave birth to two sons and one daughter. The eldest son Xin Guogong held the military power. The eldest daughter was the concubine favored by the former emperor. She gave birth to a princess for the former emperor. She was close to the former empress and the current empress dowager. The youngest The son was the younger sister of the first emperor.No matter where they are counted, they are all relatives of the emperor.

With such a prominent family background, there are naturally many people who come to celebrate the birthday. Half a month before the old lady's birthday, people began to give birthday gifts.

On the day of the birthday banquet, it was even bustling with traffic.The Gu family came quite early, but the carriage was still blocked at the entrance of the alley, so they had to walk for a while to enter the Xinguo Mansion.

After entering the door, it is natural to greet the wives with affectionate greetings. The wives are all followed by their own juniors, especially young girls, and the sweet scent of powder is wafting in the air.

Mrs. Ying was followed by five little girls, such as Chunlan Qiuju, each with its own characteristics, Gu Chongyang was the most beautiful, and Gu Chongzhu was not bad.But it was Gu Chonghua who asked the most questions from the wives.Because she is the most popular talented woman in Ruizhu Academy this year, she is very likely to become Mrs. Baozhen's direct disciple.

Seeing that things were similar to what he expected, Gu Chongzhu lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Gu Chonghua has an elegant demeanor, decent speech, and a very talented woman, which has won a lot of praise.

Several people followed Mrs. Ying step by step, and gradually felt a little bored listening to other people's compliments to Gu Chonghua.

Suddenly, a lady wearing royal blue bija came up to her, and she grabbed Gu Chongyang's hand as soon as she came up: "Sure enough, I didn't go to Nanjing in vain. In a blink of an eye, I became a big girl. She is really beautiful. There are so many people. I saw you at a glance. I heard Mrs. Baozhen say that she was bitten by a poisonous snake in Nanjing, and a young girl with excellent medical skills rescued her. She was very congenial with her, so she took her as a disciple, and said that the little girl was from the capital. Shi, I went back to Nanjing with them. I guessed it was you, but I didn't know if you came back. I saw you today, but I have to ask, what's going on?"

Her tone was kind and caring, but Gu Chongyang didn't want to make it public, so he nodded lightly: "There is such a thing, I will go to the madam's house to talk about it in a few days."

Mrs. Lu was even more happy when she heard that: "Okay, okay, okay. I have prepared good wine and food for you to welcome and celebrate. You must come."

Gu Chonghua next to him turned pale, and looked at Gu Chongyang in disbelief.

Master He Shan of Ruizhu Academy said that Mrs. Baozhen had accepted a disciple in Nanjing, but she didn't know who it was. She has been unwilling to accept this cruel fact.Unexpectedly, even more cruel things are yet to come. Gu Chongyang, her fourth younger sister, who has a good face and knows nothing, has become Mrs. Baozhen's disciple!

Why?Why!Why is God so unfair?Gu Chongyang became Mrs. Baozhen's disciple without doing anything, so what is her hard work these years?Is it all in vain?
Gu Chonghua's heart ached like a twist, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

Mrs. Ying was shocked when she saw her like this: "Sister Hua, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Chonghua remained silent, his face pale, and he stood blankly holding his heart, as if possessed by a demon.

"Hurry up, go get the imperial physician." Mrs. Ying ordered the servant girl, and at the same time helped Gu Chonghua to rest with sister Gu Chongyang.

Due to Gu Chonghua's temporary illness, the birthday song originally played by her was changed to another lady surnamed Liu, which won praise from everyone.

Mrs. Ying felt very sorry, it should have been Gu Chonghua who stole the limelight.

Several wives who originally had a crush on Gu Chonghua came to inquire what was going on with Gu Chonghua.

Mrs. Ying responded very decently: "This child is filial and earnest. When he learned that he was going to play the piano for the old lady today, he practiced for most of the night and forgot to close the window at night, so he caught the cold."

Occasionally catching a cold is a trivial matter. If the body is infected with a serious disease, who would dare to come to propose marriage in the future?After all, Gu Chonghua is not young this year, and 16 years old is also the age to say goodbye.

Everyone paid homage to the birthday star in the open hall of Duke Xinguo's mansion, and then sat down to eat wine. After the meal, they listened to a play wiping dominoes and threw pots to enjoy flowers. All in all, it was very lively.

Except for Gu Chonghua who was resting, the other sisters of the Gu family followed Mrs. Yingda to sit under the stage and listen to the play.

With the sound of gongs and drums and the smell of powder all around, Gu Chongyang felt a little bored, so he went out after talking to Mrs. Ying.

Chai Xiyue saw her and immediately got up to follow.

Gu Chongzhu thought about it, and decided to chase after him to have a look.

Gu Chongzhen was the only one left beside Mrs. Ying. She was sitting upright with a dignified demeanor, with a decent smile on her face, striving to be perfect.Whenever someone asked Mrs. Yingda about her, she would pretend to lower her head shyly or watch the play seriously, as if she didn't hear it, but in fact she kept paying attention, wanting to see if there were any better people among them.

Gu Chongyang went out of the courtyard where he was listening to the opera, and after asking the little maid to find out where the garden was, he decided to go around the garden.

The inner courtyard is full of female relatives, and there are two servant girls, Amin and Ana, behind her. She is not afraid.

"Fourth cousin, where are you going, we will go with you." Chai Xiyue walked over with a smile, and affectionately took Gu Chongyang's arm.

The two went to the garden together.

The autumn colors in the garden are just right, the maple leaves are like fire, and the chrysanthemums are blooming. Although they are not as colorful as spring, they also have a special flavor.

Turning around a rockery, suddenly two young men walked up to them, the one walking in the front was wearing a sky-blue muslin straight gown, with delicate features and gentle manners.

Gu Chongyang's breathing couldn't help but stagnate, and his eyes widened a little.

She unexpectedly met He Runnian.

He Runnian in front of her is still so young, but it doesn't prevent her from remembering all kinds of things in her previous life. I don't know if Brother Rui has become a nobleman, and whether He Runnian has treated Brother Rui as kindly as he promised to himself.And the absurd things I did for He Runnian in my previous life, it's really ridiculous to think about it.She has fully integrated into the current life, but He Runnian's unsuspecting appearance opened a big hole in Gu Chongyang's memory.The whole family of my uncle was beheaded, the days and nights of regret in Liangxiang Grange were tormented, and the heart-pounding pain before his death came like a tide.

The burning feeling in her belly seemed to come back all of a sudden, and she felt like someone was strangling her neck, and she would die at any moment.Those painful memories flooded into her mind in an instant, making her short of breath and flushed.

She thought she had forgotten, but found that it was just wishful thinking, the pain of betrayal, the resentment of being forced to death, how could she just forget it.

Seeing such a suffocatingly beautiful little girl staring at him, He Runnian was not dissatisfied.

He hastily stepped forward and said softly: "Miss, I was tricked and led here, may I ask where is the exit?"

Gu Chongyang still stood there blankly, ignoring him.

The atmosphere was a bit weird, and the boy who was with He Runnian gave a ambiguous chuckle.

He Runnian blushed and glared at the boy.

"Young Master He." Chai Xiyue suddenly stepped forward and said softly, "The exit is over there."

It was only then that He Runnian noticed Chai Xiyue, and saw that although she was not as stunning as the other one, she was beautiful, delicate and soft, and her eyes were staring at him shyly and affectionately, which made him feel proud Even higher.

He Runnian smiled suavely: "So this lady recognizes me, have we met before?"

Elegant and affectionate yet elegant, Chai Xiyue blushed pretty, and her voice was so soft that water dripped out: "My surname is Chai, and I am the cousin of the Marquis of Qingyang. My grandmother and the grandfather of the Marquis of Qingyang are brothers and sisters."

"So it's Miss Biao from Qingyang Hou Mansion." Now it was He Runnian's turn to be surprised. Since she was Miss Biao, wouldn't the beautiful girl next to her be Miss Gu's family?
I heard that the second young lady of the Gu family has an outstanding appearance and a natural beauty. Could it be her?
At the thought of such a person becoming his wife, He Runnian's heart skipped a beat: "Who is this?"

"This is the fourth young lady of the Gu family." Seeing the unstoppable amazement in He Runnian's eyes, and Chai Xiyue's jealousy and resentment, she affectionately pushed Gu Chongyang: "Fourth cousin, why are you stuck?"

Gu Chongyang woke up like a dream, glanced at He Runnian lightly, turned around and left without saying a word.

Chai Xiyue said apologetically, "Fourth cousin is young, so she is inevitably arrogant, Mr. He must not be offended."

Gu Chongyang's departure happened to be an excellent opportunity for her to perform. As long as He Runnian can hold He Runnian's heart so that he can't leave her and marry her as his wife, she will be a serious young mistress of the Hou Mansion. Who will dare to marry her in the future? Look down on her!

I made up my mind, but my voice became more gentle: "Young Master He, why did you come here? There are all female relatives inside."

He Runnian's eyes followed Gu Chongyang long ago, and he regained his heart after hearing Chai Xiyue's words: "I was being teased. Miss Chai Biao, where is the exit?"

Seeing He Runnian's distracted look, Chai Xiyue felt angry. This Gu Chongyang didn't have to do anything, but with a single face, he took away the man's soul. It was really annoying.

Although she is not as beautiful as Gu Chongyang, she is still a beauty anyway, as long as she does some tricks, there is no need to worry that Mr. He will not fall in love with her.

"The exit is a bit far from here, I'll take the two young masters there."

Chai Xiyue pursed her lips and smiled, and her six-point appearance showed a very pretty face. He Runnian felt that the girl was a little frivolous, so her voice became a little colder: "Miss Biao just needs to tell me the direction. Men and women are different, dare not work girls."

The person he is going to marry is the second lady of the Qingyang Houfu. If someone sees him walking with Miss Biao, it may not be a good thing.

After all, Chai Xiyue is young and thin-skinned. She originally thought that He Runnian would not be able to walk if she hooked her fingers, but she didn't expect that things were different from what she imagined. Pointing to the west: "Go straight ahead, turn a corner and you will get the exit."

He Runnian thanked him and left with another boy.

Chai Xiyue stomped her feet in anger, and when she turned around, she saw Gu Chongyang and Gu Chongzhu standing behind her. Gu Chongyang was fine, with no expression on her face, but Gu Chongzhu had a sneer like a sharp sword.

Chai Xiyue was startled, and said to Gu Chongyang as if nothing had happened: "Fourth cousin, why did you leave so suddenly, leaving me alone to deal with Mr. He."

Gu Chongyang did not speak, but Gu Chongzhu came forward angrily, slapped Chai Xiyue in the face, and cursed: "You little whore, do you think you will like you if you wink at Mr. He? The Gu family takes care of you." There are three of you, mother and son, but you have repeatedly made things difficult for me, even daring to snatch my marriage. It's a pity that Mr. He doesn't like you at all, so you have wasted your efforts."

"Second Cousin!" Chai Xiyue cried, and said aggrievedly, "I followed Fourth Cousin when she came out, and meeting Mr. He was even more unexpected. If you don't believe me, ask Fourth Cousin, I really didn't treat Mr. He." winking."

"Yes or no, I can see clearly." Gu Chongzhu stared angrily, and said calmly: "I will tell my aunt about this when I get back, and she will give me justice."

A trace of panic flashed in Chai Xiyue's eyes. At this moment, she knew that she couldn't get away with it, so she simply showed her true colors and said, "I've fallen in love with Mr. He, so what? Maybe you like him, so don't let me fall in love with him." Is it? If you weren't born in Qingyang Houfu, do you think Mr. He would marry you?"

"Regardless of appearance and talent, I will not lose to you. If you have the guts, don't rely on your family background. The two of us will compete in an open and honest manner." Chai Xiyue said fiercely: "You must not dare, you know that you are not as good as you Me, apart from my family background, what else can you compare to me, how could Young Master He fall in love with an embroidered pillow like you!"

Gu Chongzhu has an arrogant personality, but now Chai Xiyue belittles her everywhere, how can she bear it?

Although she knew that Chai Xiyue was deliberately provocative, she still sneered and said, "Since you are looking for death, I will accompany you! I have convinced you to lose this time."

Chai Xiyue achieved her goal, and a trace of excitement flashed in her eyes.

"Who is that in front? Is it Miss Zhu?"

The three of them were talking, and a few maids led an old woman and a middle-aged lady over.

The older one was about 60 years old, with white hair, but in good spirits.The young man has a long face, fair skin, in his early forties, a pair of calm eyes, a little serious, and is helping the older man to walk slowly.

Gu Chongyang recognized at a glance that the young one was none other than Mrs. Yan Enhou, her mother-in-law in her previous life.

It's amazing!First her ex-husband, then her ex-mother-in-law, who else will she meet later?
"It turned out to be Aunt He and the old lady." Gu Chongzhu stepped forward and greeted familiarly: "Why didn't you continue to listen to the opera? If you think the theater garden is too noisy, I will lead you to wipe the dominoes, okay?"

"Your child is filial piety." Madam Yan Enhou showed a slight smile on her serious face: "The old lady of Xin Guogong has newly bred a few black chrysanthemums, and said that she will give two pots to our old lady. Our old lady is very happy. I have to choose by myself, I didn’t expect to meet you here. Since I met you, you can go with me.”

A look of surprise flashed across Gu Chongzhu's face, he didn't expect the old lady Xin Guogong to be so generous, let alone the old lady Yan Enhou who was so invisible.

She was surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just nodded repeatedly and affectionately took the old lady's other arm.

She glanced at Chai Xiyue triumphantly, and said to the old lady: "This is my fourth younger sister and cousin."

Gu Chongyang and Chai Xiyue came forward to salute.

Madam Yan Enhou nodded and said: "Just like Sister Zhu, they are neat children, very good, very good."

Gu Chongzhu's face became even more smug, she cast a provocative look at Chai Xiyue, I have already been approved by the He family, you are doomed to lose this bet.

Chai Xiyue sneered not to be outdone, the battle has just begun, and it is not certain who will win, so don't be too happy.

"I didn't expect the old lady to like chrysanthemums." Chai Xiyue made a surprised look: "I like Qiuju Aoshuang's attitude of not being afraid of the autumn wind the most. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to go to see Moju with the old lady?"

"Oh? Most little girls like peaches and butterflies, but you, a little girl, really like peaches and butterflies." Mrs. He was very happy when she met her kindred spirit: "You can go with us."

Chai Xiyue was both surprised and happy, and smiled happily: "Thank you, old lady, for your love." As she said that, she threw a light look at Gu Chongzhu, wasn't she just trying to please the elders of the He family?What's so difficult about it?

When she smiled, Mrs. He felt vaguely familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen her, so she just smiled and nodded kindly: "You are a good boy too."

Gu Chongzhu hated secretly, but there was nothing he could do.

Gu Chongyang gave her a look, signaling her to be calm.

She walked up to Chai Xiyue and asked casually, "Cousin Chai, I didn't expect you to like chrysanthemums. Do you have chrysanthemums in Hubei too?"

snort!Chai Xiyue couldn't help but want to roll her eyes at Gu Chongyang, how could there be no chrysanthemums in Hubei, this Gu Chongyang is lucky to be a lady, so short-sighted, he is like a frog in a well!Such a common sense question has the face to ask.

"Of course, we in Hubei..."

"Your surname is Chai? Are you from Hubei?" Mrs. He, who had been benevolent just now, suddenly turned her face sharply, and asked Chai Xiyue coldly: "What is the relationship between Gu Xuezi and you?"

Mrs. He was fine just now, but she suddenly lost her temper, which made Chai Xiyue jump.

She quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "Old Madam, my daughter's surname is indeed Chai, her maiden name is Xiyue, and her ancestral home is Hubei..."

"I asked you what your relationship with Gu Xuezi is, don't you understand human speech?"

Mrs. He suddenly interrupted her, and stared at Chai Xiyue sharply, as if she wanted to see other people through Chai Xiyue.

"The word Xuezi is exactly my grandmother's name..."

"Okay!" Mrs. He suddenly sneered and said, "So you are the granddaughter of that Gu Xuezi, so I said why do you look so familiar! What about that shameless bitch Gu Xuezi, has she returned to the capital too?"

Chai Xiyue was taken aback: "Madam, my grandmother has no grievances with you, how can you insult her like this? I respect you as an elder, but your behavior is really infuriating."

As he said that, his face flushed red, as if he couldn't bear the humiliation.

Gu Chongzhu was already stunned. Although he didn't understand the grievances involved, it could be seen that Chai Xiyue was devastated, but she was very happy in her heart.

There was a sneer at the corner of Gu Chongyang's mouth, Chai Xiyue naturally didn't know why Mrs. He was furious, but she knew it very well.

This thing started many years ago.

Back then, Mrs. He, Mrs. Xin Guogong, and Chai Xiyue’s grandmother exchanged handkerchiefs. Chai Xiyue’s grandmother, Gu Xuezi, and Mrs. Xin Guogong’s old lady Gu Yingzi were both young ladies of the Qingyang Hou Mansion, but Gu Yingzi was a direct descendant. Gu Xuezi is a concubine.

Gu Xuezi is engaged to Mrs. He's elder brother. Gu Xuezi is a concubine, and this marriage was actually arranged by the Gu family.Unexpectedly, Gu Xuezi disliked Mrs. He's older brother, who was not handsome enough and stammered, and was discovered by someone even having an affair with a scholar who came to Beijing to rush for the exam.Not to mention the embarrassment of the Gu family, and the ridicule of Mrs. He's elder brother, he went to the battlefield in shame and indignation. When he came back, he was still alive, but with only one arm left.

In the end, although Mrs. He's elder brother married a wife and had children, he only lived to be over 30 years old, so Mrs. He hated Gu Xuezi to death.
