The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 14 Ingratitude
Qing Shu lowered her eyes again, humming in her heart: After all, I still say that their siblings are not well-bred, old things, please remember.

Seeing that Qingshu didn't speak, Sun Renhuai thought that she had calmed her down, and immediately said earnestly: "Shu girl, you are a boudoir lady, you should live in seclusion, sit in your room as a female celebrity, learn how to manage the house, and prepare for marriage. Show your face and run out every day, causing unnecessary gossip."

Qing Shu still kept her eyes downcast, but raised her eyebrows unconsciously.

Sun Renhuai cleared his throat, reached out to the table to drink tea, but found nothing.Only then did he remember that their husband and wife came in and sat for a long time, and no one made tea and water for them, so he withdrew his hand in embarrassment, "Shu girl, don't you not like to listen to uncle's words. Uncle and your father are life and death friends, your father Go, some words, uncle will naturally speak to you on behalf of your father..."

"Master Sun, don't get me wrong. I think it's because Qing Shu is petty and doesn't give Master Sun tea. It's because our family is too poor, and the tea leaves are so poor that even the servants of your family can't drink the tea we brew. So Qing Shu thought Ah, that being the case, why bother to make tea that can't be carried on the table and make it embarrassing in front of Mr. Sun, just skip the tea and stop doing those thankless things. Qing Shu is right, Master Sun?" Qing Shu raised her eyes just in time to see Sun Renhuai's embarrassment in wanting to get tea, and she immediately thought about it, so she interrupted Sun Renhuai's lecture, and spoke in a crisp and soft tone.

The blue veins on Sun Renhuai's forehead were throbbing, Qing Shu's words were so obvious, what else did he not understand, it must be Mrs. Sun and others who found fault yesterday, and used the tea in the ancient mansion as an article to make people uncomfortable, otherwise why would they As for being so angry that they didn't even prepare tea for their husband and wife.Then wait here, put eye drops on him, and say something to run on him.

Gu Qiang, who was standing outside the main hall waiting for orders, heard the lady's sudden counterattack, and the corner of his mouth raised a suspicious arc unconsciously.

Mother Su, who was worried about her young lady and young master, was standing behind Gu Qiang.She was run over by Mrs. Sun of the Sun Mansion yesterday. She was so angry at the time, but thinking of the young lady's position, she endured it.Now, after hearing the young lady's flirty words, she has regained the scene from yesterday, so she can't hide the smile between her brows and eyes no matter how hard she tries.

Sun Renhuai is a smooth and sophisticated person. Although he was temporarily embarrassed, he would not be defeated by such a small matter. He immediately picked up the majesty of the elders, changed the subject, and slowly approached the topic in a circle. It's so early, although uncle intends to take care of you one or two, but due to his status, he can't go around the house often. In the past few years, you two have suffered."

After a pause, his words changed, "Although your mother is weak and sick, but there are guests at home, it is more appropriate for your mother to bring Qingyang to receive them, especially today's special and important matter, uncle and aunt must see you Your mother is the only one. You are the young lady who is preparing to leave the court, and you will be the first in everything, and your reputation will be hindered. Hurry up and avoid it, and send someone to invite your mother out to see her."

Qing Shu listened with a half-smile and didn't speak, but in her heart she accused Sun Ren of having good intentions.Let Gu Ye's kind of woman who lives like a tortoise without a man come forward to deal with her marriage; let Gu Ye's selfishness know that she is only immersed in the pain of losing her husband, regardless of whether her children are dead or alive. It was a fantasy for her to say a few tough words in front of her daughter's prospective husband's family.

Sun Renhuai knew Gu Ye's cowardice, knew that Gu Ye had not received any visitors in the past five years, but insisted on using words to force her to invite Gu Ye out.What does he want to do?It's not that they want to turn major events into nothing, and ignore their ancient mansion.Maybe, the cowardly and fearful Gu Ye would be fooled by Sun Renhuai and his wife with a few words as soon as he came forward, and he would be fooled by Sun Renhuai and his wife with a few words, and then the one who finally bowed his head and admitted his mistake was not the troublemaker Sun's family, but the The ancient mansion who bullied him.

Qing Shu thought of what the previous master knew about the Sun Mansion, as well as the past of the Sun Mansion from Gu Qiang and Su's mother yesterday, and couldn't help showing a bit of sarcasm on his face.

Sun Renhuai has been a smooth and sophisticated person since he was young, capable, a little far-sighted, and a good man, otherwise he would not have gritted his teeth and insisted on supporting his third brother Sun Rende to study, and even tried to get Sun Rende to go to Beijing for the exam. Come around.Later, Sun Rende passed the exam and ranked in the middle and lower reaches. After waiting for half a year, only a small official who could barely make ends meet was sent to a remote and poor small place.Because Sun Rende himself is not an outstanding figure, and he is also a bit old-fashioned. If there is no one to support him, it will be difficult to get ahead in this life.

As an older brother, Sun Renhuai was courageous and worked very hard. He resolutely sold all the property (houses and land) in the village, dragged his family and moved to the capital, and took refuge in the school lieutenant who had been mixed in the army. Gu Qingshu's father, Gu Yunhu, who holds the position of Zhengbapin Shang, borrowed silver from Gu Yunhu and started a business with his second brother Gu Renen.

A year later, Sun Renhuai's business was very successful. While improving his family's life, he also saved a small sum of money.At this time, he began to plan slowly, and with the help of Gu Yunhu's network, after about three years, he finally found a small official position for his third brother, Sun Rende, in the Lin County of the capital, and transferred him from a remote place. return.

After being transferred back, although Sun Rende's official position is still very small, at least the whole family can get together, and Gu Yunhu (already a lieutenant from the sixth rank) who has been promoted to the official position is the backer, slowly waiting for the promotion. Chance.

When Gu Yunhu was promoted to the sixth rank of Captain Zhaowu, Sun Rende in Lin County, the capital city, finally got the chance to be promoted.Sun Renhuai was happy, and while drinking with the bold Gu Yunhu, he betrothed Gu Qingshu for his eldest son, and the two families formally entered into a marriage contract.

In the next few years, as Gu Yunhu continued to be promoted due to his military exploits, Sun Rende was also promoted.

Five years ago, Gu Yunhu was already a loyal general of the fourth rank, and Sun Rende had been promoted from the ninth rank to the sixth rank.Soon, the news of Gu Yunhu's death came from the frontier. The ancient mansion was full of white, and then quickly fell silent and devastated.Sun Rende has never been promoted again, and his rank has stayed below the sixth rank for five years.

It can be said that the Sun Mansion has today, Sun Rende was able to get rid of the fate of the ninth-rank sesame official and climbed to the position of the lower rank, not to mention [-]%, at least [-]% to [-]% of the credit is due to Gu Yunhu.Without Gu Yunhu, the Sun family would not have been able to stay in the capital to make a living. Instead of selling themselves as slaves, they had no choice but to return home and continue farming.

However, it is easy for people to forget their roots, and it is even easier to forget the kindness of others. Otherwise, where did the idiom ungrateful come from.Obviously, people from the Sun family are ungrateful people.Mrs. Sun Zhang had long forgotten that she was from a mud-legged family, looked down on the current Gu Mansion, and was dissatisfied with Gu Qingshu who did not have a strong background behind her, so she insisted on retiring the marriage.Her dissatisfaction with the Gu Mansion was in her words on weekdays, which directly affected the children who followed her, and the children also looked down on the people in the Gu Mansion.
