Chapter 59
Near the evening, the fourth master Gu Zhanming came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked the fourth wife: "The old lady didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

"No." The fourth lady smiled slightly: "Don't worry, no matter how much she doesn't like me, she won't dare to do too much on the surface."

"That's good." The fourth master finally relaxed his frown: "You have worked hard these days, and now it's the festival, and the official department is really busy. We can only wait for the spring of next year to fill in the vacancies. "

"Well, the eldest brother will come in a few days. When he arrives, you can discuss it carefully." The fourth lady said: "One person is short in wit, but two are wise. Take your time, there is always a way."

Gu Chongyang stood by the window, watching the snow falling outside, but his ears were still listening to his parents.

After the fourth lady finished talking with the fourth master, she ordered Nanny Wu to prepare the meal.

The maid immediately brought in hot water, and the fourth lady called Gu Chongyang to wash her hands.

She was about to leave the window when suddenly a touch of red came into her sight.

It's Aunt Jin.

It was snowing heavily outside the window, and everything was white, except for a carmine oil-paper umbrella that was so dazzling.Aunt Jin under the umbrella walked slowly, like a charming red plum.

What a stunner!
"Hey! Who is that?"

Gu Chongyang turned around in response, and saw the fourth master standing behind her at some point, he saw Aunt Jin walking in the snow, and he couldn't hide his curiosity in his eyes.

When a man is curious about a woman, many results may follow, and even wonderful stories will happen.

But this man is his father, and the woman is his father's concubine and mother's rival in love, so Gu Chongyang's mood is very unpleasant.

She didn't speak, but turned to look at her father with a sneer.

The fourth master was taken aback: "Chongyang, what are you doing looking at me like this?"

After saying these words, he felt a sudden rush in his heart, and he also vaguely understood Gu Chongyang's unhappiness, and immediately pulled his face: "Who do you think your father is? I just saw a stranger at home , so I'm just curious."

Want to cover it up!

If Aunt Jin was not a young woman, but a stupid-looking woman, would my father still be curious because she was strange?

Gu Chongyang put away the stern expression just now, tilted his head like a little girl, and asked in puzzlement: "What is father talking about? What stranger?"

Seeing his daughter's innocent appearance, the fourth master couldn't help being surprised, and then shook his head with a broken smile: "It's okay, it's because father thinks too much."

After speaking, he raised his head and looked towards the dining table.

Gu Chongyang followed his line of sight, and saw his mother asking the maid to set the meal, with gentle eyes and amiable smile.

My father's soft voice came from next to my ear: "In my heart, your mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. Others are all vulgar and vulgar, and no one can replace her."

Gu Chongyang's heart trembled, could it be that his father had seen through his thoughts.

The fourth master patted Gu Chongyang's head as if nothing had happened, and said softly: "Let's go, let's go eat."

"En." Gu Chongyang nodded awkwardly, and followed the fourth master step by step.

The fourth lady scolded: "What are you looking at, the food is cold and you can't come here."

"It's nothing." The fourth master sighed, half relieved and half emotional, and said: "It's only been a few years, and Chongyang will grow into a big girl."

"That's not true." The Fourth Madam smiled slightly, looked at Gu Chongyang proudly and said: "Our daughter grows tall and fast, and in two years we will be able to be called someone else."

"I don't want Chongyang to grow up." The fourth master glanced at Gu Chongyang and sighed: "She was only so young in the past, and she was not as tall as a table. She was so close to me and made me hold her high every day. Now the girl has grown up. , the mind has become more delicate, and I only get close to my mother, and I no longer have my father in my heart."

There was regret in his tone that couldn't be concealed.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help her ears warming up when she heard this, she knew that her little thoughts could not be hidden from her father, and he might be really angry this time.

"My lord is jealous." The fourth lady suppressed her smile and said, "When the girl grows up, how can she be hugged in her arms every day like before? Naturally, I have to avoid it, but I believe that in our niece's heart, father It's also very important, isn't it?"

The last sentence was asking Gu Chongyang.

Gu Chongyang didn't want to answer such a question at all, but facing her mother's earnest gaze, she could only bite the bullet and say: "Of course, in Chongyang's heart, father and mother are equally important."

The Fourth Madam said in a tone that I knew that my daughter was very obedient: "Master, you heard me, my daughter is very filial."

Only then did the fourth master feel relieved, he coughed lightly, and said: "I didn't say that Chongyang was not filial. Cough, don't talk about it, hurry up and eat, I'm already hungry."

The three of them were seated and were about to eat when Nanny Wu walked in and said, "Master, madam, Aunt Jin heard that the master is back, so she is going to come over to say hello to the master. Because the master was talking to his wife, she didn't dare to come in. It's waiting under the verandah."

It was snowing heavily outside, and Gu Chongyang felt cold sitting in the house without burning the earth dragon, but Aunt Jin was able to stand outside for so long, she is really a character.

Thinking of her "great achievements" in her previous life, Gu Chongyang couldn't help but worry. If she got mixed up with her father, the family might never have peace.

Gu Chongyang looked up at the Fourth Madam, the Fourth Madam hesitated for a while, and was about to speak when she suddenly heard the Fourth Master say: "I know her intentions, you can let her go back. It's so cold, if you have nothing to do, stay at Xixiangyuan I will keep it, so I don’t have to come to say hello every day.”

The fourth master's words were undoubtedly sounds of nature, Gu Chongyang heard it in his ears and was delighted in his heart.

Nanny Wu also said cheerfully, "Yes, master, I'm just telling Aunt Jin."

At the end, Nanny Wu winked at the fourth lady.

Although the Fourth Madam tried her best to restrain herself, she still showed relief and joy from the corners of her eyes and brows.

The fourth master glanced at his wife and daughter, angrily and amusedly said: "You should also have some confidence in me."

"Master..." The fourth lady was embarrassed and was about to explain, but the fourth master interrupted: "Eat, eat, eat without talking, sleep without talking."

The fourth lady did not speak, but her eyes were watery.But Gu Chongyang knew that mother's tears were tears of happiness.

She also felt very happy in her heart.

The next day, the weather cleared up, and Gu Chongyang followed the Fourth Madam to the Shen family's other courtyard in the capital early in the morning.

Because the elder brother of the fourth wife's family, Shen Yucheng, will come to the capital in a few days, the fourth wife has to go to Shen's other courtyard to clean up first.

Although there are always guards and cleaning servants in the other courtyard, the fourth wife is always afraid that the servants will be lazy, so she must come in person.

The other courtyard is relatively clean, but the doors and windows in the upper room have been closed tightly, and the air is a bit turbid.Dilong was not burned, and the room was cold.The inverted house was also covered with snow, and it looked a little crumbling.

After all, there is no principal.The fourth lady hurriedly asked the servants to open the doors and windows of the upper room and clean them again; they also asked people to burn the ground dragon and take out the bedding and other things to dry and smoke.They also asked someone to remove the snow from the inverted house, and cleaned up all the things in the inverted house. No one was allowed to put things in it before it was repaired and rectified in the spring, so as to avoid accidents.

After everything was packed, it was already afternoon, the fourth lady looked back and forth, and ordered the housekeeper to buy all the things for the stove in the past two days, and then took Gu Chongyang home.

As soon as she entered the side door of the Qingyanghou Mansion, the little maid rushed to report: "Fourth madam, the master is at home, and Aunt Jin has come and kicked us out..."

It's worth it!

When the fourth lady heard this, her heart trembled with anger, she suppressed her anger and asked, "How long have you been there?"

"Not long, less than a cup of tea."

The fourth lady put down and nodded, and immediately told the person who carried the sedan chair to leave quickly.

In the short journey of half a cup of tea, the fourth lady only felt anxious, and wished she could step back home in one step.

Gu Chongyang's mood was as anxious as the Fourth Madam's.

Fortunately, the servants in the mansion were diligent, and the snow on the road from the side door to Rongdongyuan was cleared away, and the bearers almost rushed all the way to the entrance of Rongdongyuan.

The fourth lady got off the sedan chair, took a deep breath at the door, and strode towards the main room.

Gu Chongyang quickly followed, in order to catch up with the Fourth Madam, she had to trot with her skirt lifted.

Afraid that she would fall, Nanny Wu kept nervously reminding her to be careful of slippery roads and stagnant water so that she would not fall.

Walking all the way to the main entrance of the main house, just stepped on the steps, I heard a "crash" from inside, like the sound of something falling on the ground, followed by the fourth master's displeased scolding, and the woman's yelling The sound of crying.

The Fourth Madam lifted the curtain and walked in without hesitation.

The ground dragon was burned in the room, and the moment the fourth lady lifted the curtain, a gust of hot air came rushing towards her face, and along with the warm air, there was also a faint fragrance.

It is the fragrance of acacia!
Gu Chongyang's hand on the curtain suddenly tightened, she stared at her, and immediately ordered to Nanny Wu: "Mommy, you go in with Hengwu and get Aunt Jin out."

When she spoke, she was not angry and pretentious, and she was forceful. Coupled with the maturity and stability she showed recently, Madam Wu said: "Miss, don't worry, I'll go right away."

What a aunt Jin, she actually got such a precious thing as Hehuansan!

She is a concubine, even if she has money but no place to buy it, someone definitely gave it to her.

The lonely man and the widow were in the same room, and they had ordered Hehuan San, so Gu Chongyang had no choice but to stop and stand at the door to wait.

The cold wind was blowing outside, cutting her cheeks like a knife, but her heart was as anxious as if she had fallen into a frying pan, and she was imagining all kinds of consequences and coping methods in her mind, and she couldn't calm down even for a moment. down.
