Chapter 93
On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the female relatives of the Gu family gathered in the upper room early in the morning.

On this day, they will go to Bo's house in Nanning to insert hairpins for Ge Bilian.

In addition to the two wives of the second house, Mrs. Ying, the eldest housewife, and the young mistress Rui, the eldest lady Gu Chonghua, the second lady Gu Chongzhu, and the fourth lady Gu Chongyang are also going.

Although the third lady, Gu Chongzhi, had recovered physically, she still needed to rest, so she didn't go.

Unexpectedly, before leaving, Fourth Miss Gu Chongyang suddenly fell down.

In front of everyone, she fell down, not only broke her hands, but also stained her clothes with snow on the ground.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the auspicious time when inserting the hairpin. If she waits for her to go back and change her clothes, it will definitely be too late.

Everyone decided not to let Gu Chongyang go.

For this reason, the fourth master was very angry, and glared at Gu Chongyang with a gloomy face.

Gu Chongyang's eyes were red, and she looked as if she was crying because she broke the skin on her hands and ruined her clothes, but in fact, she had already seen the gloomy gaze of the Fourth Master clearly.

She clenched her hands tightly, her heart was as cold as ice in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

She is really blind, she still has wishful thinking about him, thinking that he was deceived by her stepmother when he treated her badly in the previous life.He is so indifferent to himself, it is true that his stepmother is at fault, but the real reason is himself.

The second young lady Gu Chongzhu sneered in my ear: "Fourth sister, you can play with third sister at home. One of you is sick and half dead, and the other is unable to walk steadily and fell off your hand. You are really a natural pair." Yes. Today is a day of great joy, it is better for you unlucky broomstars not to go, so as not to touch your brows, which is unlucky."

A year has passed, and the second lady, Gu Chongzhu, is 13 years old. She has grown a lot taller, but her personality is still as annoying as before.

Gu Chongyang wanted to retort, but when she thought that the elders around her were watching, she suddenly raised her head and said in a very aggrieved voice: "Second Sister, how can you say that? Third Sister's illness has already recovered, and it was me who suddenly The fall wasn't intentional either. It's really hurtful for you to say that. The ground is snowy and slippery, and I just fell, so how could I become a bastard?"

Her eyes were red, and she felt wronged and sad. When everyone saw her, they all felt that Gu Chongzhu was really mean.As an elder sister, in front of so many people, not only did she not comfort her fallen sister, but gloated at her misfortune, it was really impolite.

The eldest lady Hao shrugged and wanted to teach Gu Chongzhu a lesson.

Unexpectedly, the second wife, Fei Shi, took the lead. She reprimanded: "You girl is getting more and more unruly. How about your fourth sister? When your new aunt comes in, she will naturally discipline her. When is it your turn to talk nonsense?" gone."

Just like this, she lightly exposed Gu Chongzhu's meanness and rudeness, and then turned her head to look at Gu Chongyang critically: "Fourth girl, your second sister is right, you are eleven this year, you are not a child anymore, You can't even walk well, if you go to Ge's house, we will lose our Qingyang...and our Gu family's face. It's better that you don't go. "

She wanted to talk about Qingyang Hou's Mansion, but halfway through the conversation, she realized that the Gu family is no longer the Hou's Mansion, so she changed her words.

Gu Chongyang lowered his head when he heard this, he didn't know whether it was wronged or ashamed.

A child without a mother is just a grass.If the father is not strong enough, anyone can step on him.

Mrs. Ying, the head of the room, looked at it and felt that Gu Chongyang was very pitiful.

She sighed and said, "Don't be sad, fourth girl. You are beautiful and well-behaved. I don't know how cute you are. You are not a broom star."

The eldest lady Gu Chonghua gave Gu Chongzhu a dissatisfied look, but said nothing, she only comforted Gu Chongyang softly: "Don't be sad, I will bring you a gift box when I come back."

The so-called gift box is just a gift prepared by the woman for the younger generation of the man's family. The best is Jinpazhuchai, and the worst is cakes.

Gu Chongyang has no interest in the gift box given by the Ge family, but she cannot ignore Gu Chonghua's kindness.

"Thank you big sister, besides me, there are three younger sisters."

Gu Chonghua smiled slightly, with indescribable gentleness: "Okay, don't worry, you and the third sister have both."

She is 14 years old. She has both the dignity of a lady and the gentleness of a talented woman. Her orchid-like elegance in her speech and demeanor makes it easy to have a good impression.

In her previous life, Gu Chongyang was called a "stupid beauty". She had always envied and admired girls like Gu Chonghua.Under the influence of Gu Chonghua, she couldn't continue to cry with a sad face. She smiled at Gu Chonghua, like a child whose wish was fulfilled: "Thank you, big sister."

Red lips and white teeth, clear eyebrows, black hair like ink dyed, even the best satin will be eclipsed in front of her.However, there is still a young daughter's ignorance on her face. If she grows up, she will fascinate many men.

A flash of surprise flashed in Gu Chonghua's eyes, and it took him a long time to realize it.

After getting into the carriage, Gu Chongyang smiled and nodded to Gu Chonghua. Yanyan Qingguang fell on Gu Chongyang's delicate and fair face. Against the backdrop of the rabbit fur collar on the cloak, her palm-sized face seemed to be carved out of suet jade. The general exquisite.

Four sisters are so beautiful!No wonder the fourth uncle had been reluctant to take concubines for the sake of the fourth aunt.If you get such a beauty, how can you tolerate others in your eyes?

But the fourth master obviously didn't think so. When Gu Chonghua comforted Gu Chongyang just now, the fourth master felt that Gu Chonghua was beautiful and dignified without losing the bearing of a lady. When he looked at Gu Chongyang again, the disgust in his eyes couldn't help showing it.

"Don't look at it." The eldest lady Hao gently pushed Gu Chonghua: "What's the use of being beautiful? Firstly, without mother's teaching, and secondly, without the virtuous name and talent, it's just an idiot."

Gu Chonghua looked at her mother with a little surprise: "The fourth younger sister is so beautiful that she is enough to marry a good family. Even if she is talented, the world may not see her. Her face is too eye-catching."

The eldest lady shook her head, and said in a calm tone: "Your new aunt is not a good match, otherwise she wouldn't have waited until her early twenties to get married. The life of the fourth girl will not be easy in the future. If she looks ordinary, maybe She can marry an ordinary family and live a life. But she has grown up with such an appearance, and she will become someone else's plaything in all likelihood."

Gu Chonghua was a little absent-minded, lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the crowds on the street, and sighed softly: "The fourth sister is so pitiful!"

"This is her fate." The eldest lady glanced at Gu Chonghua and said gratifiedly: "Although you don't have her gleaming appearance, you are considered delicate and dignified among the noble ladies in the capital. It’s just a piece of cake to marry into a royal family and be the mistress. I only have one daughter, so I will definitely choose a son-in-law for you who is first-class in family and character.”

Gu Chonghua's hand holding the car curtain was tight, and his face turned pale.

She lowered her head and said displeasedly: "Mother, I'm still young, and I'm still in filial piety, what are you talking about?"

"Of course I know that you can't discuss marriage right now. What's the matter, you have to wait until next spring when you take the exam at Ruizhu Academy and officially become a student of Ruizhu Academy."

When mentioning Ruizhu Academy, Gu Chonghua's complexion was much better than before, and her heart couldn't help beating: "Yes, I have worked hard for so long, just for the exam next spring."

After talking about it, she couldn't help but worry: "It's just that I haven't attended those parties since my father passed away, and I don't know if I can get the invitation letter for the exam."

Ruizhu Academy was the most famous girls' academy in the Great Qi Dynasty. Non-noble girls from aristocratic families were not allowed to enter.

There is a selection test every two years, and only 36 people are selected for each test. The current empress dowager, empress, and princess are all from Ruizhu Academy.

The female students of Ruizhu Academy have always been regarded as "the model of noble girls, the role model of women in Daqi".

Therefore, the daughter of the aristocratic family struggled to get into Ruizhu Academy.

But not everyone is eligible to take the exam.

The female relatives of the sixth-rank officials' families are required, and they are ladies over the age of ten and under the age of 15.Not to mention the entire Great Qi Dynasty, even Guangjing City, there are no less than 300 such ladies.

Most importantly, letters of recommendation are required to take the exam.Ruizhu Academy has one hundred invitation letters for each session, and fifty of them are directly invited by the female wives of Ruizhu Academy to take the exam.There are also fifty letters of recommendation, recommended by the empress.In this case, the consideration of the court is more serious.

Eldest Master Gu Zhanpeng lost Hamiwei, the Gu family was deprived of their titles, and Gu Chonghua didn't go out these days because of his filial piety. All kinds of worries put together made her seldom happy recently.

The eldest lady smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I have already asked your aunt, she promised me that when I enter the palace to pay my respects in a few days, she will make an agreement with Empress Hui in advance and will definitely leave you an invitation letter. "

Gu Chonghua was surprised and delighted after hearing this, and looked at the eldest lady in disbelief: "Mother, is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true." The lady said with confidence, "I never lied to you. This matter has already been nailed to the nailboard. Also, although our family's title has been taken away, the iron coupon of the Danshu is still there, old lady I have already discussed with the old lady of the long house. I want to talk to the queen about this matter when I enter the palace to pay her respects to the queen, and try to let your brother inherit the title as soon as possible. At that time, you will still be the daughter of the Marquis Mansion. Can't go past you."

Gu Chonghua didn't care at all whether she was the daughter of the Hou family, what she thought in her heart was to enter Ruizhu Academy no matter what, work hard, become the most outstanding student, and then be accepted by Mrs. Baozhen.

This is her biggest wish since she was 11 years old.
