Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl

Chapter 29
When the elders talked, Gu Chongfang pulled Gu Chongyang to the next room.

As she walked, she made gestures between the two of them: "Sister Chongyang, you have grown a lot taller. You are also more beautiful than before. It seems that the water and soil in the south really support people."

The last time Gu Chongyang saw her was before cousin Chongfang got married.Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for many years, Cousin Chongfang still had the same gentle smile and amiable smile as in memory.

"Cousin Chongfang, you've grown a lot taller." Gu Chongyang saw that she was already an adult, and he was very envious. It was too inconvenient for him to do things in the image of a child: "You are like a big girl." , not like I was a kid."

The two sisters looked as pretty as flowers on the branches, and their voices were delicate, and Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Ying showed gratified expressions on their faces.

The mother accepted Gu Chongyang's words, and said with a smile: "Chongfang is indeed a big girl. It really is a girl with eighteen changes, and the more she changes, the better she looks. If I meet on the road, I dare not recognize it. We are still in Chongyang. What about the little girl. I really hope that time will be quicker to see how we Chongyang will grow into big girls."

Yingda's wife, Mrs. Wu, laughed: "The fourth younger brother and sister hope that time will pass faster, but I am exactly the opposite of you. Now I wish that time passes slowly, so that Chongfang can spend more time with me."

The mother was surprised when she heard the words, and she reacted in a moment: "Have you already settled for someone?"

Hearing my mother's question, Mrs. Ying's face showed the pride of having a young girl in my family.

"Not yet, but it's coming soon."

There are not many things that women in the inner house can do in their daily lives. News of women getting married and men getting married can attract their attention the most.

Mother hurriedly asked, "Which family is it from?"

Gu Chongyang and Gu Chongfang are next door, so they can also hear Mrs. Ying talking to her mother.

Hearing them talk about their marriage, cousin Chongfang couldn't help but blush.

Gu Chongyang knew that Cousin Chongfang's husband-in-law was the eldest grandson of the fifth house of the Cui family of the old lady's family, named Cui Anzhi.

He has a good character and is upright. In his previous life, he had a very good relationship with his cousin Chongfang.

Because of his solid knowledge, his official career went smoothly, and he was promoted step by step. The members of the Gu family were very satisfied when they mentioned this eldest son-in-law.

Mrs. Wu of Yingda obviously likes this future son-in-law very much: "...the eldest son of Mr. Cui Zili, a member of the household department and a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, who just entered school last year and is the head of the case in Shandong Province. He went to the Luming Academy in the capital to study, Master Cui brought him to visit at home, the old lady felt that he was a man of good character, and when she found out that he was not married, she made an appointment for this marriage."

"It turned out to be the old lady's natal family." The mother envied: "It can't be wrong. It's still a blessing for the elder sister-in-law. A quiet and virtuous girl like Chongfang should be matched with a gentleman like Cui. I don’t know what kind of family I can marry after Chongyang.”

Mrs. Cui laughed loudly at the top: "You don't have to worry about growing up if you are small. Now that you look at Chongyang as small, you will talk about him in two years. At that time, there will be something you can't bear to part with."

"It's because of reluctance. Chongyang has always been unrestrained and has a very unrestrained temper. If I really get married in the future, I'm afraid I will really worry."

"Don't worry." Mrs. Ying said: "Brother Rui's daughter-in-law didn't understand a lot of things when she first married in. It will be fine as time goes by. Now follow me to learn housekeeping, I don't know how capable I am."

"Brother Rui's daughter-in-law is a good one." The mother sincerely envied: "Sister-in-law and her sons and daughters are already very good, and now this daughter-in-law is also capable, which is really enviable."

"By the way, why haven't you seen brother Rui's daughter-in-law?"

"Yesterday, my in-law's uncle Lu Zhongxian, Mr. Lu came back from Shandong Province, and my in-law's wife sent someone to pick her up." Mrs. Ying said: "It will take two days to come back."

It was talking about Mrs. Lu, the uncle of the lobby's sister-in-law, who was sent to Shandong Province to study politics.

It was also released back to Beijing, and the mother couldn't help being a little more concerned: "My uncle and master will not be released this time, right?"

"It hasn't been decided yet." Mrs. Ying said, "But I heard that they will stay in the Ministry of Officials."

When the mother heard it, her heart moved.She was worried about her father, afraid that his father would not be able to wait for the opportunity in the capital.

It is common to wait for a year or a half, and there are many for ten or eight years.

But in the end, she swallowed the words in her heart and said nothing.

Madam Yingda Wu changed the topic with a smile.

While the elders were talking, Gu Chongfang also pulled Gu Chongyang to ask her about her life in the south.In fact, Gu Chongyang had almost forgotten about it. Fortunately, in the last life, her master liked to travel around and told her a lot about the customs of the south, so she picked up some interesting things to say, which made cousin Chongfang very envious.

In the evening, the three members of Gu Chongyang's family stayed in the long room to eat, and the meal was enjoyable, and the host and guest enjoyed the meal.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but feel that it would be nice if his father was born in the long room, so that his mother wouldn't have to suffer.Such a reasonable mother-in-law as Mrs. Cui is really rare in the world.

The Great Qi Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and respected the elderly over 60 years old, and stipulated that when they passed their birthdays, they could not be restricted by official rank.

Therefore, except for children, older people celebrate their birthdays before the age of 60 in a very low-key way, just waiting for the 60th birthday to have a good time.

Dutiful sons and filial grandchildren will also try their best to plan birthday banquets, firstly to show their family heritage, and secondly to prove their filial piety to the world.

Qingyanghou Mansion is no exception.

On October [-]th, there were three days before Mrs. Ge's birthday, and the running water mat had already been set up.

The in-laws and old relatives who had contacts with the Qingyang Hou Mansion all sent rich or ordinary birthday gifts according to the closeness they usually get along with.

Qingyang Hou Mansion moved up and down.

The vermilion gate of the Qingyang Hou Mansion was opened, and there were twelve housekeepers lined up on the left and right sides of the gate. The guests who welcomed the guests, the servants who sang the ceremony, the gentleman who kept the account, and the servants who came and went...all of them were full of energy and wore brand-new clothes. Perform their duties in an orderly manner.

The outer courtyard was filled with excitement and guests, but the inner courtyard was very quiet.

Because the day has not yet arrived, the important guests have not arrived.

Those who came now were either servants who were gifted by the royal family, or guests who were not very important.

Therefore, Mrs. Ge didn't have to meet each other one by one, and left it to Mrs. Hao Zhangluo to deal with it.

Gu Chongyang and his three older sisters talked with Mrs. Ge in An Rong Yuan.

Suddenly, the curtain moved, and Madam Su walked in quickly: "Old lady, Mrs. Chai from Jingzhou Prefecture, Hubei Province, brought the Young Master and Miss Biao to pay your birthday wishes."

Mrs. Ge frowned when she heard this: "What Mrs. Chai? When did our Gu family have relatives in Hubei?"

"You forgot, besides the old lady of Xin Guogong Zheng's family, there is also an old lady who married into the Chai family in Jingzhou Prefecture, Hubei Province." Madam Su reminded with a smile: "Mrs. Chai is My aunt's daughter-in-law."

"It turned out to be her!" Madam Ge flashed a half-smile expression on her face, and wrote lightly, "What is she here for? Since it's here to celebrate birthday, let Hao Shi handle it."

It turned out to be very indifferent.

"This..." Mother Su paused for a moment, and then whispered: "Mrs. Chai came from a long way from Jingzhou, Hubei, and said that she must bring Master Biao and Miss Biao to kowtow to you. After all, she came a long way away. It is impossible to go back today, there may be other things, you see?"

"In that case, let them in."

Mrs. Ge said to the Gu Chongyang sisters again: "My relatives don't move around very much, you don't even remember them. She is the biological sister of your grandfather and mother. She married in Jingzhou, Hubei a few years ago. The one who came today is hers. Daughter-in-law and grandchildren. You should also be called cousins, cousins."

After a while, Madam Su led a woman and a couple of boys and girls in.

The woman was in her thirties, and although the clothes she was wearing were full of flowers, no matter the pattern or the fabric, they were styles that had been eliminated in the capital long ago.

The boy was twelve or thirteen years old, with shrewd eyebrows embedded in his dark and thin face.He was wearing a sapphire blue cross-collar hang silk straight gown, which was too wide and very inappropriate, and it was covered with wrinkles left by being pressed for a long time.Eighty percent of them are rented from clothing stores.

The girl was about ten years old, petite and thin, timid and weak, like a harmless little white rabbit.But those eyes rolled around, looking back and forth in the room.

This girl is none other than Chai Xiyue.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help lowering his head, and tightly clenched his hands on his legs.

In my previous life, I was really blind, I couldn't recognize Chai Xiyue's true face, and I became good sisters with her heart-to-heart.I was sincere to her, but what I got in return was betrayal with ulterior motives.She became He Runnian's concubine, and finally entered the room to compete with herself everywhere.

He Runnian poisoned him to death, probably due to Chai Xiyue's contribution.

Chai Xiyue never dreamed that she, Gu Chongyang, was dead, and Chai Xiyue would still not be able to be the head mistress of Yan En Hou's Mansion.

Gu Chongyang is dead, but he still has a son after all.But Chai Xiyue, she has no children and has lost her fertility.Gu Chongyang did not die, and she, Chai Xiyue, would never want to grow old in peace and prosperity.

Mrs. Chai had already sat down to talk to Mrs. Ge.

Gu Chonghua led a group of girls to the next room.

Chai Xiyue talked to everyone with a smile: "Big cousin is really magnanimous. I have never seen a girl as temperamental as big cousin when I grow up. People say that she has a poetic and literary spirit in her belly. I I didn't believe it before, but now I see my eldest cousin, I really believe it. When I saw my eldest cousin, I was very heartbroken, and wished I could treat you as my own sister."
