Value peace

Chapter 39 Father and Daughter Conflict
After a while, Gu Chaorong smiled bitterly and said: "I know, I know, but because of this, I hope you can marry the prince. You are about the same age, and you will give birth to Lin'er in a few years. We all have someone to rely on." ..."

Gu Xiyan was puzzled.

"It's not that we want to fight with the Fang family." Gu Chaorong explained, "Only when the prince grows up can he be crowned king and open a mansion. Some emperors asked to leave the palace and go to their son's land when they were in power. Xizhao 120 In [-], Emperor Jingzong's concubine asked to leave the palace and took her aunt Yu Taifei to the domain of her son Qing Wang; I went to the domain of my son King Yu...these are all precedents. My sister has no chance, and I'm all counting on you to take me out..."

Gu Xiyan felt sad when she heard that, her eyes couldn't stop falling down, she blinked innocently like a deer and said: "Sister, you are still young... I will help you go to Qixia Temple to seek medical treatment..."

Gu Chaorong's complexion changed drastically, he covered Gu Xiyan's mouth, and whispered in her ear: "Why do you think my sister is sitting here in Chengqian Palace... That's because I'm obedient... This matter is not allowed to happen again." I mentioned it, do you understand?" At the end of the sentence, his tone gradually became severe.

Gu Xiyan nodded sadly, and then Gu Chaorong let go of her hand covering her mouth.

The two sisters looked at each other speechlessly, but there was no atmosphere of embarrassment or alienation. Instead, it seemed that because of a common secret, there was a sense of tacit understanding lingering around them, making their expressions warm and tender.

Gu Xiyan sighed a long time, and said apologetically: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't think so much... Is there any way to remedy it!"

Gu Chaorong smiled teasingly, and said, "Oh! Even if you want to enter the palace now, it's too late, the time to choose a concubine has passed. However, if you really want to marry the prince, I still have a way..."

Gu Xiyan hurriedly waved her hands: "Sister, don't make fun of me! I know I'm wrong!"

After a few joking words, the atmosphere between the two has become warm and harmonious.

Instead, it was Gu Chaorong who advised Gu Xiyan: "Don't blame yourself. As you said, if my sister is really thinking about you, she should find you a marriage that makes you a blessing. This matter I will never wrong you again. As for your father, don’t be afraid. He doesn’t dare to do anything to you. Follow Aunt Cui to learn the rules, you can't let go of poetry, calligraphy, painting, and needlework. After you marry someone, the people in your husband's family will respect you..." She chattered a lot about women's "four virtues" ", Gu Xiyan nodded obediently, she didn't feel sloppy in her heart, but there was a kind of sweetness in her heart.

This is what it feels like to have family!

After Gu Chaorong chattered for a while, Mrs. Gu came back from the official room.Gu Chaorong immediately stopped talking, and everyone exchanged a few more pleasantries, and tiredness appeared on Gu Chaorong's face.

Mrs. Gu knew it was time to say goodbye, so she stood up and said goodbye after saying a few words. Gu Chaorong didn't hold back much, and gave Mrs. Gu a string of agarwood rosary beads, a ruby ​​ring inlaid with a grain of rice, and gave Mrs. Gu Gu Xiyan had a pair of jasper bracelets.When she handed the bracelet to Gu Xiyan, the female officer specifically whispered to Gu Xiyan: "Your Majesty said that this is an old jade from Fengtai, let the girl keep it carefully, and use it as a dowry in the future."

Looking at the jade bracelet, Gu Xiyan saw that it was as blue as water, and the whole body was clear without a single blemish. She knew it was worth a lot and thanked her repeatedly.

After leaving the Chengqian Palace and walking along the long red passage, Mrs. Gu asked Gu Xiyan in a low voice: "What did you say to your empress?"

Gu Xiyan said: "Your Majesty said she would tell my father for me."

Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good!"

Back in Gu's mansion, Gu Xiyan and Mrs. Gu felt something was wrong as soon as they entered the gate of the guarding garden. The atmosphere was cold and there was no one to greet them.

Nanny Tian, ​​who had been following Mrs. Gu, said with a smile, "Where have these little monkey grandchildren gone..." Before she could finish speaking, her voice suddenly stuck in her throat as if cut by a knife. inside.

Mr. Gu stood quietly beside the small flowerbed in Qingyi and long gown, with a smile on his brow, he looked like a gentleman, and he was holding a freshly picked pomegranate flower in his hand.

Didn't he lie on the bed with a back injury? How could he be able to walk so quickly.

Gu Xiyan muttered in her heart, but she clearly saw Mrs. Gu's body trembling, her legs went limp, as if she was about to fall down.

Don't be afraid of being like this!
Gu Xiyan hurriedly supported her behind her, but Mrs. Gu took the opportunity to grab Gu Xiyan's hand.

The palms are wet.

Gu Xiyan's heart softened, and she sighed secretly.

Gu Chaorong even said that he would help her make the decision, so she had nothing to be afraid of.Gu Xiyan took two steps forward, passed Mrs. Gu, and said with a smile: "Father is not feeling well, if you need anything, just ask, how dare I ask you to come here in person!"

Master Gu smiled, threw the flower in his hand on Gu Xiyan's face abruptly, and asked with a livid face, "Where did Guan Gui and Baibai go?"

Gu Xiyan's sweet face was covered with a layer of coldness like ice. She stared at Master Gu with cold eyes, and said softly: "Father, how do I know where Guiguan and Baibai are? I told you last time Yes, because of the chickenpox, my daughter has been worshiping the Pox Empress at home for the past two months. This is not only known by the nuns and mothers in the house, but also filed in the court. Why is my daughter alright? , Father is sick!"

Master Gu gulped at the question. He stared at Gu Xiyan fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her. It took him a long time to squeeze out a few words: "You bastard..."

Gu Xiyan said solemnly: "Father said the wrong thing again. Sinister, isn't this slandering the ancestors of the Gu family? It should be a scumbag. My daughter was sent to the countryside by her father since she was a child. It is inevitable that she will lack discipline and education." , I don’t know the rules and regulations, I don’t know the seniority and inferiority. It’s the fault of raising children and not teaching the father. Speaking of it, the father seems to be a little bit responsible! I don’t know what to call a wicked father..."

Where did Mr. Gu still have the demeanor of everyone just now, and where did he still have the demeanor of pinching flowers and smiling just now, he looked around, grabbed a flower pot beside him, and threw it at Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan pulled Mrs. Gu who was on the side and quickly avoided.

Master Gu grabbed another flower pot and was about to throw it at Gu Xiyan.At this moment, someone hurriedly shouted behind Gu Xiyan: "Brother Baozhang, brother Baozhang, stop quickly, the child is still young and ignorant, it is inevitable to make collisions..."

Gu Xiyan looked at Master Gu vigilantly, afraid that the flower pot in his hand would be thrown over her, so she didn't dare to turn her head to look at him.Mrs. Gu beside her called out "Seventh Brother" in surprise and joy.

Master Gu, who was facing Gu Xiyan, blushed, put down the small potted plant in his hand, and said with shame, "Brother Zuo Cheng, I made you laugh."

Only then did Gu Xiyan dare to turn her head to look at the speaker.

The person who came was Mrs. Gu's seventh cousin, Liu Zuocheng.He is not very old, just in his early thirties, with a normal appearance, a pair of big eyes with a smile, giving people a very friendly and easy-going feeling.He felt Gu Xiyan's gaze, nodded at her with a smile, then stepped forward to meet Master Gu, and grabbed Master Gu's arm: "Brother Baozhang, this is all my sister's fault, There is no way to teach a daughter, and I hope that brother Baozhang will take care of the third uncle and don't care about it like a younger sister." He spoke sincerely, with deep apology, as if it was entirely his fault that Master Gu beat Gu Xiyan like.

Gu Xiyan secretly praised in her heart: This is a master!

Mrs. Gu was stunned, she pointed to her nose and said, "I, why am I..."

Liu Zuocheng gave Mrs. Gu a warning look, and then looked apologetic: "Brother Baozhang, calm down. Although it is inconvenient for us men to intervene in the affairs of their backyard, but my sister is too... don't worry." , I immediately edited a letter and ordered someone to send it to the third aunt in Jiangnan as soon as possible... I am a rough person, but my third aunt was born in the Du family in Shouzhou, Jiangnan, and she can be regarded as someone who has seen the world. Disciplining and disciplining my younger sister..."

When Mr. Gu heard this, he smiled heartily, and he still didn't look half as angry as before.He and Liu Zuocheng hugged each other affectionately: "Look at what Brother Zuocheng said, am I angry? Thanks to the Caixia in the Gu Mansion in the past few years, otherwise it might be a mess. Speaking of which, I'm all to blame for this." , I usually dote on my daughter too much, and she has developed a temperament that is not afraid of anything. It doesn't matter if she is at home, but she is not too young, I am really worried... leaving a reputation for being hot..."

The two talked and laughed, talking happily.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly winked at Nanny Tian, ​​and Nanny Tian was also a shrewd person, taking advantage of the gap between her words, she stepped forward and said, "Master Uncle is here, he is really a rare visitor, Madam ordered me to prepare for it by the Yuanxiang Lake. After drinking tea, master, why not sit there with uncle and master and enjoy the scenery. Master, look..."

Master Gu smiled and nodded: "Madam is still considerate, brother Zuo Cheng, don't disappoint Caixia's good intentions, why don't you sit by Yuanxiang Lake."

Liu Zuocheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Then I will interrupt."

Mr. Gu was personable, made a "please" gesture with a chic posture, and said enthusiastically: "My inner house, only Yuanxiang Lake is worth seeing. The row of silver weeping willows next to it was transplanted from the south of the Yangtze River when my father was young. I came here, it is said that I was not born at that time..."

The two walked out of the guard garden while talking.

Madam Gu's body softened, she clutched her chest and said, "I'm scared to death!"

Gu Xiyan supported Mrs. Gu's arm vigorously so she was not paralyzed on the ground.

Unexpectedly, the duel that he was preparing to fight Yabaihe ended like this.However, she was still very grateful to Liu Zuocheng for his timely appearance.Otherwise, even though I had Gu Chaorong's support, Mr. Gu was in a fit of anger, and the county magistrate was not as good as the current one, so I would inevitably suffer some flesh and blood.
