Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 296 Old Madam Gao (1)

"Qing'er is Qichang's wife. Although it is not recognized by the clan, it is an unchangeable fact. The second uncle asked Qichang to pick her up as a concubine. The people in the village spread rumors and accused Qing'er of women's virtues, how can Qing'er survive in the capital!" Gao Qichang said without fear, "Second uncle, if the world forces the family to refuse to recognize each other, Qichang don't There is no other way but to take Qing'er back to the countryside and swear that I will never return to the Shi family in this lifetime!"

The second senior high school master never thought that Gao Qichang would be so persistent in this matter, he looked at the third senior high school master in astonishment, turned pale and shouted: "What are you talking about! Could it be that you would rather be expelled from the clan than With that Shi family girl?!"

Gao Qichang straightened his back, and the words he said were firm: "Qichang is unwilling to abandon Qing'er for the rest of his life. If Qichang's actions are said to be an enemy of Dayan and this world, Qichang will not back down. Will face it head on!"

The two elders in the hall were enraged and annoyed by Gao Qichang's words, seeing that he was determined and refused to give in, they could only give up and sighed: "Since you are the eldest grandson of the eldest house, you should know that this marriage is not a marriage. What you do alone will implicate the entire Gao family. Even if you can screw me and your third uncle, what about the old matriarch and the patriarch? Is it possible that you have to think about it now? Neck talking?"

The senior high school master waved his hands and got up, frowned and said impatiently: "Your third uncle has never read any books, and he doesn't know what you mean by etiquette, righteousness and shame. I know that your grandmother is still there, and this marriage is not up to you." Let's decide. Second brother, I think the two of us should report back to mother and ask mother to talk to him. I am getting too lazy to break up with him now."

As he said that, he got up and went out first, followed by the senior high school master.

Gao Yuanshan who was waiting at the side poked his head and saw the two masters going out of the study room, seeming to be heading towards the inner courtyard, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Gao Qichang stand up from the ground, and said with a bitter face: "I said you are really, Why do you have to fight with uncle, will it do you any good? I think the second uncle is right, first take her back into the ancestral home, and then mention her as the main wife at that time. "

Gao Qichang rubbed his numb knees, sighed and said: "It's not that easy. Let's not talk about it, even if I agree to this, what will my mother think? She will definitely be suppressed. At that time, don't say that she will be promoted to the wife, I'm afraid that it will be so easy." It's not impossible if time forces me to marry someone else."

"You mean, Miss Ruan?" Gao Yuanshan said with a playful smile, "In my opinion, my cousin is actually pretty good-looking."

"Since big brother likes it, I'll give it to you."

Gao Yuan smiled obscenely and said, "I really want to marry, but the girl is looking at the position of the eldest daughter-in-law. How can she look at me as a concubine. What's more, if the tigress in my room finds out, Don't kill me yet!"

Gao Qichang smiled along with him, and the smile disappeared before it could spread across his eyes.

Gao Qichang's grandfather came from a branch of the Gao family. He was originally a poor and rough man. He didn't have a business when he was 20 years old. The girl who fetched water by the well fell in love at first sight.

This girl is now the old lady of the Gao family, Gao Qichang's grandmother.

Back then, the old lady's wife was reluctant to marry the old lady to such a poor boy, so she entrusted her relationship with Gao Qichang's grandfather to the barracks, hoping to break Gao Qichang's grandfather's heart, but unexpectedly, Gao Qichang's grandfather took advantage of With the world in chaos, he made military achievements and earned the old lady the title of first-rank lady.

Because he came from a rich family and gave birth to three males for the Gao family, the Gao family respected the old lady very much, even the most senior patriarch in the clan now respects the old lady when he sees the old lady .

Seeing Gao Qichang being attracted by the boy, the girl who carried the curtain smiled and stepped forward to salute: "My maidservant greets the third young master."

Gao Qichang was not in the mood to talk to her, he pointed at Nuan Ge with a frown and asked, "Is grandma feeling better recently? Has the old illness ever flared up? Did the two uncles go in just now, did grandma get sick?"

The girl shook her head ignorantly, and replied one by one: "Back to the third young master, the old matriarch is in good health, but he often misses the young master. The old illness has not reappeared these days, but a new headache. Slave servant I don’t serve the old matriarch, I don’t know what’s going on inside, but I just saw that the faces of the two masters are not very good after they come out, I think the old matriarch is angry.”

Rufang, who was waiting on the old matriarch, came out through the curtain: "Third young master, the old matriarch said that it's freezing outside, and I'm afraid you will be frozen, so I let you go in and talk."

Gao Qichang had a sneer on his face, he took two quick steps forward, and followed Na Rufang into the Nuan Pavilion to meet the old matriarch: "The unfilial grandson has seen grandma, please greet grandma. Qichang has seen mother."

The old matriarch smiled lovingly: "Get up quickly, tell grandma to take a closer look and see if my grandson has gained weight. Oh, look at my grandson who is tired these days, and I am so thin I can't even recognize it."

Mrs. Gao, who was sitting beside her, wiped her tears with a towel and said, "Qichang is a real kid. He won't come back for more than half a year. Now he finally came back, and he didn't say that he would do his best in front of your grandmother." Filial piety."

Gao Qichang blushed from what Mrs. Gao said, and knelt on the ground with his head bowed.

The old matriarch waved his hand at Mrs. Gao, smiled nonchalantly and said, "Qichang received an errand in front of the emperor, that is the most important thing, how can we allow Qichang to come back? Qichang, get up, sit down Next to grandma, tell grandma to take a good look at you."

Gao Qichang sat obediently beside the old lady's bed, choked up and said: "Grandma, Qichang is sorry."

"Hey, why is my eldest grandson still crying? Stop crying." The old lady wiped his tears with a smile, and said emotionally, "Qichang, you are the eldest grandson of my Gao family, and you have grown up A man, how can he cry at every turn, carefully making people laugh."

Mother Yu, who was serving beside the old matriarch, hurriedly persuaded and said: "Isn't it, the third young master has grown into an adult, so don't make the old matriarch cry. Old matriarch, the third young master has finally come to an end." When you come back, you should say something happy."

"That's right, that's right." The old lady nodded and said with a smile, "In this moment, even Qichang has grown up to give birth to the fourth generation of great-grandsons for our Gao family?"

Gao Qichang was slightly taken aback, seeing Mrs. Gao was also stunned, for a moment he didn't know how to reply to her.

The old lady smiled calmly: "Your two uncles have already told me everything, and also told me your attitude clearly. Since you have all come to me, if you want me, an old woman, to decide, you can You should explain everything to me clearly, Qichang, don’t you think so?”

"Grandmother is absolutely right."

"Qichang, you have never been a reckless child, but in handling this matter, you have shown immaturity, and I have a strong opinion on calling you grandma." At some point, the old lady smiled calmly and said seriously , "Can you tell me, grandma, why you don't want so many good girls all over the capital, but choose one?"

Gao Qichang sorted out his thoughts, kept calm and said: "Grandma, please don't listen to the rumors from outsiders. Qing'er is not as miserable as outsiders say. These things all started when Qichang met her for the first time When Qichang saw her for the first time, she was not yet ready, and for her sister's birthday, she was willing to pretend to be a kid, just to choose a gift for her. At that time, Qichang was just full of curiosity about her. When we met later, she went through the changes in the Shi family's mansion. Just standing there quietly, people can see her tenacious expression after the storm. For the sake of her infant brother, she did not hesitate to sell her dignity. Born to beg along the streets."

He chose to hide part of the truth, and defended Shi Yiqing: "That year, she was only 15 years old. When she heard that her cousin had sacrificed for her, she was distraught but held back her tears. Then she learned that she was already dead in front of the emperor." When she was lost, she went to the countryside to live in anonymity for the sake of her family, not wanting to be discovered by the people in the capital, so as to hold her family accountable. Grandma, such a woman, how can Qichang not like her, how can she be called Qichang I failed her!"

The old matriarch patted him on the shoulder and told him not to get excited: "Grandma heard that you went to Yumen Pass to guard in order to accompany her, is there such a thing?"

"Part of the reason for going to Yumenguan is because of her, but more of the reason is because Qichang is the grandson of my grandfather. My grandfather and father sacrificed themselves to defend Dayan, but Qichang hides in the capital, eating, drinking and having fun, and achieves nothing. , it’s better to fight on the battlefield, not to make meritorious deeds, but to dedicate yourself to defending the country.”

Seeing Gao Qichang's blood boiling, the old matriarch was so moved that his eyes were wet, and he sighed with relief: "Your third uncle said that you have the demeanor of your grandfather, I didn't believe it, but now that you can say these words, it shows that you You really followed your grandfather. Forget it, that girl of the Shi family has a hard life, with such a background, and such a bad name. Sigh."

"Mother!" Mrs. Gao saw that the old lady seemed to agree to marry Shi Yiqing, and said hastily, "You also said, what is the background of that girl, how can she be worthy of Shang Qichang!"

The expression on the old matriarch's face faded, coughed and waved his hands and said: "I'm old, I can't take care of this matter anymore, old man, since this is your first wife's matter, you can discuss it with Qichang and make a decision. .”

This is the meaning of agreeing to marry Shi Yiqing in disguise.

Gao Qichang couldn't help but knelt down on one knee to thank the old lady: "Grandma, Qichang thank you for your success."

The old lady smiled happily at Gao Qichang and said, "Remember to bring the child and show me."
