pampering wife

Chapter 30

Hongxiang raised the curtain and entered the room, followed by Qingmei, and saw a beautiful woman sitting on the green bamboo armchair inside.Next to her was a bright-looking girl with delicate white skin and star-like eyes. She was wearing a brand-new brocade dress with hundreds of flowers on her body, and the water-green drape was long. The brilliance of her whole body did not match this simple Zen room.

That woman is naturally Mrs. Gu, and who else is this girl other than Gu Ronghua, the jewel in the palm of the Gu family?
Qingmei looked at Mrs. Gu's face that was similar to her vague memory, and she couldn't help but feel sore, she walked over to her in a few steps, and she was a little choked up and at a loss.The face in front of her was completely unfamiliar, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were so similar to her mother's vague outline in memory... In the yellow sand beyond the Great Wall, the bones of her parents may have long since disappeared, but Mrs. Gu is still so graceful and wealthy, enjoying her time in peace.

If the mother is still there... Qingmei's nose sores, and big tears fall down.

Mrs. Gu also stood up, hugged her into her arms, and burst into tears: "Yan'er, my poor child."

The two cried for a while, and Gu Ronghua stayed by Madam Gu's side all the time. When it was almost time, she gave Hongxiang a wink, and Hongxiang said softly, "Miss Qu is tired from going up the mountain, Madam let her rest for a while." The madam let her go.Qing Mei backed away, kowtowed respectfully, Madam Gu said: "This is your sister."

The two sisters greeted each other, Qingmei was a little shy, Gu Ronghua smiled at her and didn't say much.

At this time, Mrs. Xu also broke down in tears.Among the people present, she was the one who felt the most about this reunion. The scenes of Mrs. Gu and her sisters getting along with each other, the scene of Qingmei's mother's tragic death, and the hardships of Qingmei's growing up, all these scenes flashed before her eyes. Xu's heartache and excitement were mixed together, and Xu Huaiyuan's shoulder hurt from pinching.

After Qingmei finished seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Xu brought Xu Huaiyuan forward to kowtow, and Mrs. Gu was naturally a little polite.

It was almost noon, Hong Xiang brought some vegetarian food over, and they ate in the simple meditation room.Mrs. Xu had brought a few jugs of fruit wine made from green plums when she came. Mrs. Gu knew that they were making a living in a tavern, so she nodded and praised after tasting it.

During the meal, it is a pity to describe the situation after the farewell.Mrs. Gu asked in detail, Qing Mei also answered seriously, after dinner, the aunt and nephew got acquainted with each other, Qing Mei smiled and said: "Auntie, for convenience these years, I changed my name to Qing Mei. You also call me Qingmei, right?" The delicate little face was tinged with thin halo, very well-behaved.

Mrs. Gu also hugged her lovingly: "That's called Qingmei. From now on, you will live in the mansion with your aunt, study and play with Ronghua, and be my goddaughter. I couldn't bring you back as soon as possible before. , I will take good care of you in the future, my poor child." As she spoke, she wiped away her tears again.

Qingmei hurriedly said a few words of comfort, and obediently agreed.Seeing that Mrs. Gu meant to ignore the matter of the marriage contract directly, this was very much in Qingmei's mind.

But since it wasn't for fulfilling the marriage contract, why did Mrs. Gu ask her to go to Beijing and recognize her as her goddaughter?Qingmei was puzzled.

Gu Ronghua next to me heard this, and smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will take care of my sister with all my heart in the future."

Now that they have met each other, Mrs. Gu didn't waste any more time, she took Qingmei and the other three out of the monastery for a while, and saw three carriages parked in an open space.A row of servants and maidservants stood beside the carriage, and when the servants saw Mrs. Gu, they hurriedly placed the stools beside the carriage.Qingmei looked over, the last exquisite small carriage was the one that took her back to her residence that day, but the driver was changed.

The canopy brocade tent of the carriage in the front has bright and gorgeous tassels hanging from the four corners, and the copper ornaments on the body are also very delicate.The car body carved with the pattern of eight treasures is narrow and long, which can be walked on narrow mountain roads and can accommodate many people to sit together.Mrs. Gu took Qingmei's hand and said, "The three of us, mother, sit together."

Qingmei agreed, and waited for the maids and maids to serve Mrs. Gu and Gu Ronghua to enter the carriage before going in and sitting next to Mrs. Gu.On the opposite side, Gu Ronghua closed his eyes and began to rest his mind. Mrs. Gu spoke casually and praised Qingshan Temple.

The carriage drove away slowly, behind Hongxiang took Xu Shi and Xu Huaiyuan to sit together, and the last one was a few servants.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Gu was a little tired, so she rested on a soft pillow.Qing Mei sat idle and had nothing to do, so she lifted the curtain to see the scenery outside.Feeling a gaze from behind her looking at her, Qingmei knew it was Gu Ronghua, but since Gu Ronghua didn't intend to talk to her just now, why did she rush?

Qingmei just didn't realize it, and still pretended to be idle watching the scenery.But my heart couldn't relax at all.

After this contact, Qingmei also roughly figured out Madam Gu's attitude towards her - Madam Gu definitely planned to erase the marriage contract, and Madam Gu's loving and caring attitude towards her today is probably half-true.But Qing Meiyuan didn't expect Mrs. Gu to treat her well, so she didn't feel disappointed at this moment.

As for this Gu Ronghua, she is as bright and beautiful as the fairy concubine in the picture, and her arrogant attitude is also consistent with the news I found.It's just that she always prides herself on her identity and treats Qingmei with an inexplicable alienation, but she doesn't know why.And Mrs. Gu also let her do this...Qing Mei laughed in her heart, I am afraid that the following things will not be as Xu expected.

Thoughts were constantly wandering, Qing Mei peeked at Mrs. Gu who was silent and closed her eyes, and suddenly thought of a person——

Today Mrs. Gu specially arranged to meet outside the city, and things went well. Although she entered the Gu residence as a foster daughter, she might still have to meet Gu Shangshu and Gu Changqing when she got there... Qingmei didn't expect that Gu Shangshu would take care of her. She, just that Gu Changqing, only hoped that he would not tell about the meeting behind the mountain that day!
