Chapter 94
In the afternoon, the entire Gu family returned.

Gu Chonghua did as she said, and brought a gift box to Gu Chongyang.

At that time, Gu Chongzhi was in the Begonia Courtyard, and the two sisters were talking. When they saw Gu Chonghua coming, they both stood up with smiles and said, "Big sister, you are back."

"It's a good thing you didn't go, it's really meaningless." Gu Chonghua complained softly, then smiled and handed over the gift box in his hand: "But the brocade handkerchief in the gift box is quite good, it's Gusu Song Brocade, and the The embroidery pattern is also very good-looking, it is double-sided embroidery, and we rarely see this kind of embroidery in the capital."

"Really?" Gu Chongyang accepted it with a smile, opened it and held it in his hand to have a look. Seeing that it was indeed Gusu Song Brocade, although it was not of the highest quality, it was not bad, so he said, "This one The embroidered flowers are really beautiful, one side is a small sunflower with folded branches, and the other side is an orchid butterfly, which is really nice."

Gu Chongzhi is best at embroidery, and when he saw the double-sided embroidery, his face showed a bit of envy.

Gu Chongyang said: "Big sister, is this for me, or is it for third sister?"

"It's for you. The third sister's gift box is with the third aunt. I wanted to take it, but the third aunt said she would keep it for you, so I didn't take it." Gu Chonghua said: "Third sister, don't blame me. "

"It's not your fault." Gu Chongzhi said gently, "Since it's at my mother's place, when I go to pay my respects at night, my mother will give it to me."

Having said that, both Gu Chongyang and Gu Chonghua knew that if it was a box of pastries or something inconspicuous, it would be fine. The second wife would probably not give Gu Chongzhi an uncommon handkerchief like Gusu Songjin double-sided embroidery.

Gu Chonghua and Gu Chongyang looked at each other, seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

Just as Gu Chongyang was about to speak, he heard Gu Chongzhu's voice from outside: "Oh, it's so lively, I went to Lilac Courtyard to look for the third girl. Sydney said she came to Haitang Courtyard, but I didn't expect the big sister to be here too."

While talking, she had already walked in.

Both Gu Chongyang and Gu Chonghua were in the filial piety period, and they both wore plain dresses.Gu Chongzhi usually doesn't have any good clothes, and his clothes are relatively plain.

And because Gu Chongzhu went out today, she dressed extraordinarily gorgeously.

She has slightly plump skin, bright eyes and white teeth, and she looks very beautiful in a bright red dress.

The eyes of the three people in the room could not help but fall on her.

Her gaze swept among the three of them, and she immediately thought of something and rolled her eyes: "Gu Chongzhi, are you talking ill of me behind my back again?"

Her raised eyebrows, sharp eyes, and aggressive tone greatly compromised her beauty.Where is Miss Jiao's appearance just now, she is clearly a rude and rude idiot.

"Second sister, I don't." Gu Chongzhi said softly, "Why should I speak ill of you?"

Gu Chongzhu looked at Gu Chongzhi suspiciously, then at Gu Chongyang and Gu Chonghua: "Really? You really didn't speak ill of me?"

"No." Gu Chonghua said: "We are talking about the brocade handkerchief we got today. I have already given her the fourth sister's, and the third sister also likes it very much. It just so happens that you are here, so we will also ask you, when will you get it?" Give her the third sister's?"

Gu Chongzhu seemed to have heard a big joke, and said contemptuously: "Big sister, what are you talking about, the third sister is just a concubine, and she didn't go, how could Jinpa have her share? Don't be kidding .”

"I clearly saw that the second aunt took one, how could this be a joke?" Gu Chonghua said softly, "Is it because you like it so much that you have given the brocade handkerchief to the third sister? Second sister, you are an older sister , this is not good."

Although she was upset, she didn't lose her temper. Instead, she was speaking well and reasoning, and her every move was very dignified like her mother's eldest wife, Mrs. Hao.

"Nonsense! How could I be ignorant of her things? Even if they are given to me, I wouldn't want them too much." Gu Chongzhu took out the handkerchief in his arms, and raised it proudly: "It was indeed prepared for the third sister, but she didn't Go, since she didn't go, naturally I can't give it to her. My mother thought that she would not take it for nothing, so she took it back. But, it's not that I robbed the third sister. It wasn't her thing in the first place. Naturally, it belongs to the mother, and she can give it to whoever she wants."

"You're making unreasonable words." Gu Chonghua said seriously: "Although the third sister didn't go, didn't the fourth sister also go? Didn't she have the same as us? Second sister, please return the handkerchief to the third sister. "

"Then how can it be the same?" Gu Chongzhu sneered and smacked his lips again and again: "Tsk tsk tsk, one is from the original spouse, and the other is from the concubine, how is it the same? Besides, the fourth sister is the daughter of the fourth uncle, and the new aunt is going to marry in. Naturally, I dare not neglect. But what is the third younger sister, if it wasn't for my mother's kindness, who would know that there is such a person in the family?"

"Hmph! The fourth room of the Gu family, the other three rooms have no concubine's children, and the house of the eldest uncle Ying doesn't have any. Why does our third room have a concubine like her? It's really superfluous!"

After the death of Eldest Master Gu Zhanpeng, the Gu family was deprived of their titles again, Second Madam is not as afraid of Eldest Madam as before.Gu Chongzhu is well-educated, so naturally she is not afraid of Miss Gu Chonghua's restraint.

Seeing her like this, Gu Chonghua couldn't help being angry: "Although the third sister is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the second uncle and the young lady of the Gu family. How can she be said to be redundant? Besides, didn't Aunt Mei also give birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes for my father?" fetus?"

"But they are already dead." Gu Chongzhu curled her lips: "It can be seen that some people deserve to die, and they shouldn't live in this world. I thought I would die of illness, but I didn't expect it to be fake."

"You!" Gu Chonghua was furious at Gu Chongzhu. She felt that as the eldest sister, Gu Chongzhu had taken away her face, which was very unattractive.But her upbringing told her not to be angry or to speak ill of each other, so she could only look at Gu Chongzhu with a sullen face and used her eyes to accuse her.

But Gu Chongzhu didn't care.

Gu Chongzhi looked at Gu Chonghua, swallowed his anger and said: "Eldest sister, don't be angry. The second sister is right, since mother took the thing, she can give it to whoever she wants, it doesn't matter if I want it or not. "

Gu Chongzhu giggled when she heard this, and looked at Gu Chonghua like a fighting rooster: "Eldest sister, did you hear that? Even the third younger sister said so herself. It can be seen that your kindness is just wasted."

Gu Chonghua pursed his lips angrily and stopped talking.She is angry at Gu Chongzhu's domineering, and at the same time angry at Gu Chongzhi's failure to live up to expectations. She is a weak and incompetent adou who cannot be supported.

Gu Chongyang has a panoramic view of everything, Gu Chongzhu is thick-skinned and rascal, very narrow-minded and selfish, if a well-educated lady like Gu Chonghua tries to reason with her, she will undoubtedly lose.

She didn't speak all the time, and suddenly said: "Third sister, I actually don't like this piece of handkerchief very much. It's just an ordinary Gusu Song brocade. Although it's good, it's not the best. I have a big red piece here. The Nanjing brocade, my cousin in Nanjing specially asked my uncle to bring it to me."

Gu Chonghua was surprised: "Fourth sister, do you really have Nanjing Yunjin here?"

Nanjing Yunjin, every inch of brocade is gold, because of its dazzling color, as bright as the clouds in the sky, it is called Nanjing Yunjin.

Gold can be bought, but Yunjin is hard to buy with money.Because of its complicated weaving process, only a dozen or so pieces can be woven every year, and most of them have to be paid tribute to the palace. Ordinary people can't even see them, let alone buy them for use.

"You actually have Yunjin?" Gu Chongzhu also stepped forward, in disbelief, "How could you have Yunjin?"

"Luwu, show the brocade that my uncle brought to me." Gu Chongyang said, "Otherwise, the sisters will think I'm a liar."

Gu Chongzhu looked at Luwu suspiciously, with disbelief on his face.What a precious thing Nanjing Yunjin is, how could it be possible for Gu Chongyang to have it.

However, Gu Chongyang's uncle is a wealthy businessman with a lot of money and has always lived in Nanjing. Maybe they can really get Nanjing Yunjin.

Whether it is or not, you will find out later.

Gu Zhongzhu's eyes rolled around, thinking that if it was true, she would take it for herself.If not, she would make fun of Gu Chongyang.

After a while, Luwu came out holding a small tray, on which was a piece of argentine red brocade, looking from a distance, the color was bright and extravagant.

Is it really Yunjin?
Gu Chongzhu stretched her neck to look at it, and couldn't help touching it with her hands. When she saw it clearly, she couldn't help but sneered: "Fourth sister, this is Nanjing Yunjin? Who are you lying to? It's just Shu brocade. Although it is also very expensive, we Such a family can't afford it. Are you talking big, or is your uncle cheating you with Shu brocade?"

Shu brocade is also one of the rare brocades, but it is much more common than Nanjing Yun brocade.Every year, Gu Chongzhu would have one or two clothes made of Sichuan brocade, so she recognized them.

Gu Chonghua also felt that Gu Chongyang was cheated.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chongyang smiled slightly, and said: "This is indeed Shu Brocade, the real Nanjing Yun Brocade is here."

As she spoke, she gently removed the Shu brocade on the tray, revealing a small piece of dazzling red cloth.

The cloth is bright red, as gorgeous as a burning flame, and as eye-catching as the clouds in the sky. Because it is bound with gold thread, under the contrast of red and yellow, the golden light is shining, and it is very expensive and luxurious at first glance.

Shu brocade can be regarded as a precious brocade, but when it is put together with Yun brocade, it suddenly becomes overshadowed, and its brilliance is less than half of Yun brocade.Which is more expensive and which is lighter can be distinguished at a glance.

"This is Yunjin? It's really beautiful!" Gu Chongzhu looked at Yunjin greedily, and couldn't help reaching out to touch it: "It's so slippery, so soft, so beautiful, if it's made into a pair of cardigans and skirts, it should be How noble."

Gu Chonghua also praised: "The peacock's makeup, the flowers, the clouds and brocades are rotten, and the ice silkworms spew phoenixes and mist into the sky. The Jiangnan locomotive is so ingenious, it really lives up to its reputation."

She was reciting poems again, and when she was reciting poems, she had a special temperament.Gu Chongyang looked at her adoringly.

She smiled slightly, with a bit of pride in her reserve.

Among the four sisters, Gu Chongzhi is a master of embroidery. She was also very amazed when she saw such a fabric.But she has always been reserved and cautious, and she doesn't speak easily in front of people, for fear of losing the conversation, so she just stood and watched without speaking.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chongyang walked up to her with the brocade and said, "Third Sister, although this brocade is rare, it is too rare to be made into clothes. I have always wanted to make handkerchiefs, but my skills are too poor. I'm afraid I'll spoil something good. I think you might as well make me some handkerchiefs."

"Me?" Gu Chongzhi was very surprised, her curved and beautiful willow eyebrows were raised slightly, her beautiful eyes were shining brightly: "Fourth sister, are you not afraid that I will break it?"

Gu Chonghua sighed, the younger the four girls in the Gu family, the more beautiful they are.She herself was the most unremarkable in appearance.Fortunately, she is talented, and this alone is much better than them.

Gu Chongyang also likes Gu Chongzhi's appearance very much, and thinks that her emotional exposure makes her look like a flesh and blood person.

"No, I believe in the craftsmanship of the third sister." She said: "You can help me make three pieces, and when it is finished, I will give you one piece as a thank you gift. Please help me embroider a Xifu crabapple pattern." .”

"I don't want Xifu crabapple." Gu Chongzhu hurriedly said: "I like Yutang's rich peony flowers, third sister, you embroidered peony patterns for me, don't make a mistake."

"Second Sister, what are you talking about?" Gu Chongyang said in surprise, "I didn't say that this veil is for you."

Gu Chongzhu was more surprised than Gu Chongyang: "Didn't you make three yuan?"

She suddenly frowned, and said arrogantly: "The third girl is a concubine, but I am the upright daughter of the second wife, why don't I have one?"

"I'm going to make three pieces. One is for myself, and the other is to compensate my third sister because she didn't get the double-sided embroidered handkerchief of Gusu Song Brocade." Gu Chongyang said: "There is another piece, which will be in May next year." Eldest Sister Yue Jiji, the Jiji gift I am going to give Eldest Sister is not for you."

"Gu Chongyang, you are deliberately against me." Gu Chongzhu said angrily: "I don't care, they have them, and I must have them too. If you want a bowl of water to be level, you must give me a veil."

I'm not your mother, I'm not used to you!
Gu Chongyang suddenly pulled his face and sneered: "The brocade belongs to me. I can give it to anyone I want. This is my freedom. What is a bowl of water flat? If you want a bowl of water flat, why did the Ge family give it to everyone?" Third sister didn’t have a face embroidered handkerchief, but you got two? You can’t make a bowl of water even, and you come to ask me, what a joke!”

Gu Chongzhu didn't expect that Gu Chongyang would say such a thing, and when she was exposed, her face turned red all of a sudden.

"Okay! Okay!" She became furious and said viciously: "I said, why don't you do it for me? It turns out that you want to show off to the third girl. You three snakes are a nest, and you want to join hands to bully me. Let me tell you, no way! I, Gu Chongzhu, am not easy to bully."

"Hmph!" She glanced at Gu Chongzhi, her eyes were full of warning and sternness, then she sneered and said, "If you don't give it to me, I will naturally get it."

The anger in Gu Chongyang's heart also turned upwards, this Gu Chongzhu was nothing more than arrogant and selfish, but she still bullied Gu Chongzhi so blatantly, she would not let her succeed this time no matter what.

Gu Chongyang also laughed: "Second Sister, the method you mentioned is just to take over Third Sister's, other than that, do you have any other methods? What you rely on is only your identity as a prostitute. But you are wrong, I will not let you get what you want today."

Gu Chongyang gently touched Yunjin, suddenly grabbed it, and threw it into the carbon basin on the ground.

"Ah!" Gu Chongzhu stomped her feet in distress: "Gu Chongyang, you are crazy!"

She exclaimed and said to the servant girl: "Quickly, quickly bring back Yunjin."

When the brocade catches fire, it catches fire, and the tongue of fire quickly engulfs the brocade, and it burns up completely in a short while, so there is no way to pick it up.

The cloud brocade that was still shining like a brocade just now has disappeared in a short while.

"My Yunjin, my Yunjin, this is the first time I've seen Yunjin, how could you burn her!" Gu Chongzhu felt her heart bleed, and she grabbed Gu Chongyang's clothes: "Damn it, you pay me My brocade, pay for my brocade."

"Second sister, did you make a mistake? This brocade belongs to me. When did it become yours?" Gu Chongyang broke her hand and said, "My things, whoever I want, I can give it to whomever I want." .I said if I don’t give it to you, I won’t give it to you. Even if it is burned, it won’t be your share!”

"Good! Good! Good!" Gu Chongzhu was so angry that his eyeballs almost popped out: "You are cruel, you are so reckless, you wait for retribution."

After speaking, she stomped her foot and left.

Gu Chongyang said happily: "I finally taught her a lesson!"

"You!" Gu Chonghua disapproved, "You killed eight hundred enemies, and you hurt yourself one thousand."

"It's such a pity that such a precious brocade was burned just to give me a sigh of relief, fourth sister." Gu Chongzhi was very moved, but also felt that the cost of this breath was too high.

"What kind of brocade, brocade is a royal offering, even if it can flow out at 01:30, it won't be in my hands." Gu Chongyang smiled slyly: "This is a new brocade produced by my uncle's loom workshop last year. He brought me some when he participated in the selection of the imperial embroidery room last year. This kind of brocade is no worse than Yunjin, but the price is not as expensive as Yunjin."

"Even if it's an ordinary brocade, it's a waste if you burn it like this." Gu Chonghua took Gu Chongyang's hand and said, "You must not be so willful in the future, and you should think more about things, and you can't just ignore the consequences because of your own impulsiveness." The reputation of a girl's family is the most important thing, if this matter is spread, it will not be a good thing to get a reputation of being extravagant and wasteful."

This is earnest teaching.

Gu Chongyang had little contact with this sister in his previous life, he only thought she was a talented woman, other than that, he had no impression of her, never thought that she would have such a kind side.

Gu Chongyang hurriedly put his hands down and listened: "Thank you big sister for your teaching, I will definitely think more about things in the future, and I won't be so impulsive like today."

Seeing Gu Chongyang's well-behaved appearance, Gu Chonghua's mind flashed what the eldest lady said. Thinking that the new fourth lady was about to enter the door, she wanted to tell Gu Chongyang a few words, but she swallowed the words and said: "Fortunately, only our sisters know about this matter. No one else is here today, and it won't spread if you think about it. Don't worry."

Gu Chonghua glanced at Gu Chongzhi: "There is still the third sister, don't be so weak in the future, if you don't bow your head, no one can ride on you."

Gu Chongzhi also hurriedly said seriously: "Yes, I have remembered the teachings of big sister."

Gu Chonghua and Gu Chongzhi left, but Luwu said worriedly: "Miss, why do you offend the second lady? She is not easy to mess with. Now that the fourth lady is gone, we should endure the calm for a while."

"Lvwu, you are wrong. Many times, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. It is not something we can get calm by bearing it. Especially for people like Gu Chongzhu, if we give up one step, she will take ten steps forward, and even ride a horse. Come over my head and domineering. If I give in everywhere, maybe the situation of the third sister today is our future. This kind of person must teach her a lesson. "

With Gu Chongzhu's character, he will definitely not let it go, and maybe he will bring the matter to the old lady.She thought about hearing the rumors about the second master's embezzlement of Mo Gongzhong's money in the past few days, and felt that now is the best time to teach Gu Chongzhu a lesson.

Burning a piece of brocade will make Gu Chongzhu not dare to bully her in the future, so it is a good deal no matter what.

Sure enough, just as Gu Chongyang thought, in just one afternoon, the entire Gu family knew that Miss Fourth Gu Chongyang had burned a whole bolt of brocade.

Some people say with jealousy that Gu Chongyang has money in his hands, and they are envious of the maids serving in Haitang courtyard.Some people accused Gu Chongyang of being too arrogant and extravagant, with disapproval all over his face.

In the evening, even Mrs. Ge was alarmed, she specially ordered someone to ask Gu Chongyang to come and ask questions.

"You are too nonsense. A good piece of Nanjing brocade is so expensive. If it is burned, it will be burned. If it gets out, what will it look like?" Mrs. Ge said with a gloomy expression, "I know Because your mother didn't teach you well, those who don't know think that all the girls in our Gu family are as unruly as you!"

The one who has no rules is obviously Gu Chongzhu, the second wife, and the Gu family!Why do you have to bring it to your mother again? My mother is dead, and you guys still don't let her go.

Gu Chongyang really wanted to yell at Mrs. Ge, but she held back, and only raised her head to look at Gu Chongzhu standing beside Mrs. Ge with a half-smile.

That look is like a sharp sword, not to mention that Gu Chongzhu felt scared looking at it, even Mrs. Ge couldn't help frowning when she saw it: "What kind of look do you have? Fourth girl, I'm asking you something! I really don't know you How did your mother teach you manners?"

"My mother is dead." Gu Chongyang said suddenly, interrupting Mrs. Ge's words abruptly: "My mother has passed away for more than a year, old lady, what I do is all from my own heart, with What does my mother have to do with it? Could it be that she is dead and still wants to come back to discipline me? "

Being contradicted by her like this, Mrs. Ge's face became more and more gloomy. She stared at Gu Chongyang's face, remembering something, and wanted to get angry on the spot.

This bastard has such a clever mouth.If you don't teach her a lesson today, won't she be turned upside down.

"Come on!"

She was about to call for someone to take Gu Chongyang down and imprison him in a small Buddhist hall for reflection, but Gu Chongyang suddenly said: "As for the brocade that the old lady was talking about, I don't know at all. I just slipped my hand and dropped the veil It’s just in the charcoal basin, why did you burn a piece of brocade? What the old lady said is too strange, the granddaughter has never seen any brocade.”
