Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 116
Looking at Gu Sixiao, Mrs. He said lightly: "Little lady drank too much." Although her voice was not high, she had already put on the airs of a married woman.

Gu Sixiao didn't show any fear at all, as if she didn't notice Madam He's unhappiness at all, just like an ignorant little girl, she smiled innocently: "I'm indeed a little drunk..." You said I If I drank too much, then I drank too much, and I didn't understand what you meant by "don't talk nonsense".

"The little girl is also thinking wildly. I said that the little girl and my wife both came from Songjiang Mansion. Although they are not related to each other, they still have some kinship. No matter what, my wife will not hate me so much!"

With half-closed eyes, she looked at Mrs. He with a smile, and said in a low voice, "I thought about it and thought, could it be because of the Gu family!"

Mrs. He's complexion sank, she pressed her hands on the table, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"Ma'am, if it's really because of the Gu family, there's no need for it. Since the senior official of the Gu family committed a crime, he was the one who was executed..."

Even if she said so on purpose, Gu Sixiao's heart was still pierced, and when she turned her eyes away, Madam He's complexion was already pale.

She knew that his elder brother was wronged!she knows……

My heart was on fire, but Gu Sixiao just smiled and said: "Although I have learned the Gu family's craft, I have never met that Gu family official. Even if Madam hates the Gu family, you don't have to hate me!"

"Little lady is really clear!" Mrs. He smiled coldly, looking at Gu Sixiao with contempt in her eyes, "I still think that everyone knows the truth of repaying kindness! But it turns out that there is no kindness in this world. There are a lot of people with pictures!"

"What kindness does the Gu family have to me? It's just that I learned some skills from the old servants of the Gu family. How can it be considered that the Gu family has kindness to me!"

Gu Sixiao smiled, looked at Mrs. He, and asked with a smile: "Madam seems to have a good impression of the Gu family? I thought Mrs. He personally supervised and beheaded that senior official, Madam should also hate that senior official." Woolen cloth!"

"You..." Presumptuous!
If it wasn't for He Yue who ran in suddenly, Mrs. He might really slap the table and point at Gu Sixiao's nose and curse.

She hated this woman before because she didn't want to be brought back to think about the Gu family, but now, she really hated this woman.

She is so ignorant that a merchant's daughter dares to talk to her like this. If she didn't think that she saved Yue'er, she would never let this woman go today.

She thought so in her heart, but Mrs. He actually knew that this woman was nothing at all, and the Su family who was left to drink in the front yard was important.

Feeling aggrieved, I waited for someone from the front yard to say that the banquet was over.

After sending Gu Sixiao away, Mrs. He scolded He Yue with a sullen face, "It's getting more and more outrageous! What a rich official daughter, you dare to run away from home. If it spreads, how can you go out to meet people?!"

When the child was not found, he was just worried, and when he found it, the anger was always in his heart.If He Yue hadn't hugged her all of a sudden, hugged her waist and acted like a baby, Mrs. He would have really resorted to family law.

"Mother, I didn't pay so much attention in Songjiang Mansion before! Why are you so particular now?"

"What's the same? Your father was only a seventh-rank magistrate in the past, and he was in charge of such a small area, but now he is a fifth-rank magistrate, with a bright future. Yue'er, listen to your mother, learn those economics, and in the future your father As your official position grows bigger and bigger, you will definitely marry into a wealthy official's family and become a decent headed mistress. You can't miss any of these things you despise..."

"What is there to learn? It's nothing more than buying a few green onions for the kitchen and paying a few pennies for the account. It's really boring! There's no fun in reading books and writing poems. Mother, didn't you say you want me to go to Sister Lin's place to play?" ?"

"I only know how to play all day long. Miss Lin is going to marry to the Hou's Mansion in Jingli, so she doesn't have the heart to play with you!" Fu Ke He Yue took her hand, and Mrs. He stood up, "Anyway, You've been better off staying at home recently, don't run around—that little lady Gu, don't want to see you again..."

"Mother!" Stamping her feet, He Yue still wanted to speak, but He Zhifu had already entered the room.

"Father..." She threw herself into He Zhifu's arms, and He Yue complained, "Father, Mother always insisted that I learn accounting from her, how tacky!"

"Yes, yes, vulgar..." Zhifu He responded with a smile, his face was flushed, and even his eyes were bright. It seemed that he had drunk a lot in the front yard.

Seeing his appearance, Mrs. He swallowed back what she wanted to say, but frowned and said, "Officer, don't dote on Yue'er so much. As the mistress of the house, how can you play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and other things all day long?" ..."

Before she could finish her sentence, He Zhifu already frowned and said: "It is precisely because you want to marry into a wealthy family that you need to be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting! Look at the little lady of the Lin family, don't you know it? The daughter of an official family How can you not understand such elegant things as poetry and songs?" Without giving Mrs. He a chance to continue talking, he waved his hand and said lightly: "You are ready to go! Invite that young lady Gu to come to the house these few days Let’s play together, um, even invite the young ladies here, let’s have fun.”

"You want to invite Miss Gu? Why invite her?" Mrs. He was really angry, and her tone of voice was not very good.

He Zhifu frowned, "Isn't it right for you to find your daughter for you and bring her back properly?"

But how can it be worth asking for such a trivial matter?

Mrs. He thought about it, and she understood, "If the officials want to thank you, you can just invite Mr. Su. In my opinion, Miss Gu can't get along too much. After all, she is just a merchant's daughter."

"What about the daughters of merchants? Our Daxia folk customs are open, and wealth is hidden among the people. Unlike the previous dynasty, merchants are regarded as cheap jobs. Look at the Su family, but the married daughter is married into the palace."

Seeing that Mrs. He still shouldn't do it, the prefect of He couldn't hide it any longer, "Mr. Su's side—in short, I think Mr. Su's attitude towards Mrs. Gu is very unusual, so you need to worry about it!"

Although he spoke vaguely, Mrs. He understood it as soon as she heard it as a married couple for many years.

This is because Mr. Su was not good at inviting him, so he made his mind on Mrs. Gu, right? !
She was angry, but she couldn't refuse anymore. Madam He suppressed her anger and said softly: "Understood, don't worry, I will treat that little lady Gu to a banquet——Yue'er, it's getting late, you go back to bed too Bar!"

After she sent her daughter away, Mrs. He stepped forward to wait for Zhifu He to take off her coat, but she didn't want Zhifu He to shake her arm, but she avoided it.

"My lady has worked hard on the affairs of the mansion. If you are a husband, let's go to Aunt Wang's place to have a rest, so that my wife will not have to wait on my husband..."

While talking, he persuaded very considerately: "Rest early, don't be too tired."

"Thank you for your concern..." Mrs. He sent her husband out with a smile. As soon as she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared.

She flicked her sleeves to sweep away the banquet that was still on the table, and Madam He scolded angrily: "It's so good there, little bitch! You do that ugly thing every night, and sooner or later you will..."

"Ma'am..." The girl standing beside her coughed softly, and turned her head to look outside.

"I'm afraid that the ghost will hear it! If he hears it and comes back to argue with me, he's on his mind!" Mrs. He snorted coldly, "He's already lost my wife in his heart, how could he come back and talk to me?" Am I noisy?!"

"I know, he has long suspected that my background is not very good. I don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry. He only knows about economics. He doesn't think about it. If I hadn't been running this family for many years, how would he have the spare time to study it? Learning, what kind of Jinshi exam!"

These words have been held in my heart for a long time, if I was not stimulated by that Gu Sixiao today, I might have kept holding them in.

But now, she just wanted to find someone to talk about her grievances over the years.

That heartbroken person, when he was just a small magistrate, still respected her. There was only one concubine in his family, but now he was promoted two levels at once, and he took in two beautiful concubines from his subordinates one after another. The yellow-faced woman was thrown over the wall.

"That..." He opened his mouth, and then looked at the girl standing outside the house, Madam He swallowed the words that came to her lips.

There are some things that really cannot be said, as soon as they are said, it will be a disaster.It's just that she is blocked in her heart!

Rubbing her chest, Mrs. He cried out in pain again and again, scaring the girl next to her to rush to get the "Baoxin Pill".

In fact, Mrs. He didn't have this problem in her early years, it only happened when Gu Dalang committed a crime the year before last.

If it weren't for the prescription prescribed by Dr. Chu, and I often take this "Baoxin Pill", I'm afraid I won't be able to survive it long ago.

That's right, she was full of things in her heart and no one talked about it, even if she was bored, she would get sick.

Lying on the couch in disgust, Mrs. He wailed and sighed from time to time.

The girl who had been with her all this time bent down and asked in a low voice: "My lady, should I invite the officials back?"

"Why do you invite him? Let those goblins laugh at me for pretending to coax the officials to come back to see me? I can't afford to lose that face!"

Forced to sit up, Mrs. He raised her chin, "Go, call the mother in charge, I want to talk about the banquet in a few days."

"Lady, it's getting late, why don't you rest earlier!"

"Why are you resting? Can I sleep now? Hurry up, don't hang around here, it's annoying to watch..."

The girl didn't dare to say any more, she hurriedly turned around and went out to call someone, but Mrs. He let out a breath, leaned on the couch and rubbed her chest.

Before the He family's invitation was delivered, Gu Sixiao already knew that the He family was going to invite her to a banquet.

When she left He's residence that night, it was still Su Jingchun who sent her back to the residence.On the way, Su Jingchun talked about it.

"I think that in the past few days, the prefect of He's mansion is going to entertain your benefactor. At that time, you should have the opportunity to walk around in He's mansion."

After saying this, Su Jingchun smiled again, "Madam He likes to listen to opera the most. When the time comes, she will definitely invite the opera troupe to sing. The chess piece I made finally has a place to use."

His eyes lit up, Gu Sixiao turned to look at him, and asked without hesitation, "But someone from the troupe?"

She and Su Jingchun planned together before, but in the end, Su Jingchun didn't tell her the details, and didn't take this opportunity to ask who the buried pawn was.
