Chapter 35
On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the auspicious day is written in the almanac, which is suitable for marriage and travel.

Changsheng came back on such a day, her face was very pale and thin, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

She was wearing a moon white shirt and stood at the door of Gu's house.Looking at the bronzing plaque hanging on the door, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Chang'an City, it seems that we are going to die forever.

……

"Miss, where have you been?"

The two little girls Qingcha and Dai'er were crying badly, each holding Changsheng's arm, as if afraid that she would disappear again.These days when Changsheng disappeared, they were terrified, unable to eat or sleep well.Rong's mother was watching the news every day, and she cried behind her back for countless times.

Changsheng disappeared for a whole month, and they couldn't eat or sleep every day because they were worried that something might happen to her.Seeing that she has come back safely now, but seeing that she has lost so much weight, she must have suffered outside.

Rong's mother is older after all, not as excited as the two little girls.But she also quietly blushed, and turned her head to wipe away her tears.Why is my young lady so miserable, she has been missing for so long without any reason, not long after returning to Chang'an City.

It would be great if Madam was still alive, and someone would dote on Miss.

"Didn't I come back safely?" Chang Sheng comforted the two little girls with his arms around them, and smiled softly.

Looking at her smile, Qingcha always felt that something was wrong.The lady's smile seemed to be the same as before, but she always felt that her eyes were more deserted.Thinking of this, she involuntarily grasped some longevity.

"Okay, okay, don't rely on Miss." Rong's mother wiped her tears, went to pull the two little girls away, and said calmly: "Qingcha, you go and order the kitchen to cook some light meals. Dai'er, Go and make a pot of green tea."

Only then did the two girls stabilize their emotions, and went to work happily, holding hands.

Changsheng smiled, leaned against the window and walked out.Looking out, there is an acacia tree. The pink acacia flowers are in full bloom, dancing softly in the wind, and there is a delicate fragrance.

Rong's mother closed the door, straightened her clothes, and kneeled respectfully in front of Chang Sheng.

Changsheng looked down at her with a clear expression, and said, "Mother Rong, if you have something to say, you don't have to."

"A slave must not lose his duty as a slave." Rong's mother shook her head and said, "The old slave thinks about it these days, and feels that he has to say something."

A gust of wind blew, and the swaying Albizia julibrissin flower swayed over with the wind, Chang Sheng stretched out his hand, and the flower just landed on her palm, looking extremely shy.

Chang Sheng caressed the flower, and said casually, "Speak, I'll listen."

Rong's mother sorted out her thoughts, and then slowly said, "Madam comes from the Cui family of Qinghe, who is a powerful family. To put it disrespectfully, she comes from Cui's first daughter, and her status is as noble as a princess. Madam is the current queen mother." His niece, His Majesty's cousin, her status is even more respectable. But such an honorable wife still died of illness early."

There are inexplicable things involved in this, but those who served Cui Qing in the early years know that Cui Qing's illness and death are definitely strange.After all, for such a healthy person, it is impossible to just fall down.

No matter how courageous Mama Rong is, she can't say this casually.She paused for a moment before continuing: "Ladies and gentlemen of Chang'an City, there are constant banquets throughout the year. In spring there is a spring feast, in summer there is a flower viewing party. In autumn, there are constant poetry recitations, and in winter, snow-seeking plum blossoms. often gathered together."

What she said was just to tell Changsheng a truth.Men have men's communication, and women naturally have their way of exchanging news and making friends with powerful people.How many men get promoted and get rich, and avoid disasters, all get news from women.

"These wives and ladies who are attending banquets outside, their reputation must not be hindered, and they must not fall out of favor with the man in charge. They must be able to talk. But if you want to keep your status, you will naturally have to endure the struggle in the back house."

Having said that, the topic finally came.

Rong's mother kowtowed to the ground and said word by word: "Miss, I know that you don't care about these powerful positions. But every day you stay in Chang'an, you have to learn how to fight in the back house. Otherwise, you can only let others bully you." .When the time comes, I will end up with Madam in the end, and I will go without knowing why..."

Back then, my mother had a dull life. She didn't like to attend those banquets, and she didn't like to pay attention to those private affairs in the back house.When Zhao Xian was ambiguous with his father, it probably really hurt his mother's heart.

Changsheng stared at the distance with distant eyes, thinking to himself.The mother didn't fight or grab, and led her to live quietly in Wutong Garden, but she still couldn't escape the persecution of others.

Some of Qinghe Cui's daughters dared to attack her. In the final analysis, it was her mother who was so desperate that some people grew up and wanted to replace her as the hostess of the Gu family.

"Rongma, get up." Changsheng leaned over, helped Rongma up with both hands, and said earnestly: "I will remember what you said."

Rong's mother's heart was hot, her eyes were a little sore, and she said sadly: "The old slave is afraid that the young lady will go back to the old lady's old way, it is really..."

Her voice was already a little choked up in the following words, she really missed Madam.Mrs. Qixi passed away, and every year on the seventh day of July, she quietly burns incense sticks.But now that the Zhao family is in charge, who would dare to pay homage to his wife.Right is the only law to maintain everything, especially in the back house.

Only by standing tall can others dare not bully you and protect yourself.

Not to mention them servants, even Xiang Ye seems to have forgotten the anniversary of his wife's death, and has never mentioned it in these years.

Changsheng watched Qingcha and Dai'er walking side by side with trays from the window, and said calmly: "After dinner, I'll go say hello to my wife. After all, I've been walking for a month, and I have to explain something."

Rong's mother immediately smiled, "Miss is right."

This is not cowardice and compromise, but attack and outbreak.

Changsheng thought about his life for a month, and a sneer appeared on his lips.She endured tremendous pain, and finally survived from the brink of death.The master said that if her mind was a little weaker, she might become confused and go crazy to death.

"Changsheng, you still underestimate Chang'an City."

"Women's struggle is more terrifying than you can imagine."

After returning, the master said this to her.

"If you want to win, you have to adapt to the Gu family and Chang'an."

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.At that time, Gu Changsheng was thinking, if she invested too much affection in Chang'an, would she still be able to leave in the future...

This is an unknown.
