Traveling through Chengcunhua to fight the war
Chapter 25 Is This Really My Sister?
In the other courtyard of the Su family, Gu Xi searched through boxes and cabinets.And Yang Xiaoyu came in and saw this scene, and asked her: "Why are you so nervous in the morning? I won't help you clean up the mess later."
"Erya, have you seen my jade pendant?" Gu Xi's face was a little anxious, but after all, he was anxious because he couldn't find anything.
Yang Xiaoyu also helped to search for it, and asked while searching, "What's wrong? Is that something important?"
"The letter my father wrote to me and the jade pendant I used to catch Zhou when I was a child are all gone." Gu Xi sat on the bed baldly, and whispered softly: "It's good if I don't have these, I will no longer be Gu Xi from now on. And It's the real Gu Xi!"
Yang Xiaoyu continued to pull those sundries, and suddenly heard what Gu Xi said.She waved her paw and patted Gu Xi's head: "What are you talking about? You don't want to go back to Gu's house, so you don't want to recognize Gu Ran either?"
Gu Xi remained silent, how could she go back home without those two things as proof?
"Think about where you have fallen." Yang Xiaoyu continued to search unwillingly.
Gu Xi shook his head, then suddenly raised his head and said, "It must have been stolen while looking for Xiao Taohua."
It's not impossible, after all, during that time they had been running around without a safe place to stay.It's normal to lose things, but these two things are not trivial.Yang Xiaoyu still thought it would be better to find them.
In Gu's house, Gu Ran stood in front of a woman.
Looking carefully, Gu Ran tightly squeezed the handkerchief in his hand.After not speaking for a while, Gu Ran glanced at Mrs. Gu.Under the sign of Mrs. Gu's eyes, Gu Ran called out softly: "Sister."
That woman is Gu Xi who was found by the old housekeeper a few days ago. Although the woman looks ordinary, she is extremely attractive.There is an indescribable charm in his bones, but even so, Gu Ran doesn't feel familiar with this person at all.
Seeing that it was getting late, Master Gu said to Gu Xi when it was getting dark, "Come to my study."
Hearing that Gu Xi went to follow Master Gu, Master Gu took out a jade pendant in the study.Putting the jade pendant on the desk, he sat down and said softly: "I sent a letter to your master, and the person who came back to report also said that you had received the letter. Why didn't you come back after reading the letter? Even the old housekeeper found you, you Willing to come back."
"Letter? I didn't receive the letter. Besides, I'm illiterate, so how can I read the letter? Tell me directly if you have anything to do in the future, I don't know how to read." Gu Xi said truthfully.
Master Gu's face changed when he heard the words, he patted the table and said, "What have you learned from your master these years? You don't even know the words? Didn't your husband praise you for being smart when you were young? What you have taught is a photographic memory. .”
"I was sold to be a servant girl when I was ten years old. Where can I find a master?" Gu Xi felt aggrieved because he had suffered so much for so many years.Why is this man still blowing his nose at her and staring at her, not wanting to see her.
Master Gu sighed deeply, then pointed to the jade pendant on the table and said, "Do you remember how this jade pendant got here?"
The jade pendant was stolen from an old beggar, she rolled her eyes.How can I say that she is also the eldest lady of the Gu family now, so outsiders should not know that the things she is carrying next to her are stolen.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "I don't know where that jade pendant came from. But it has always been on me."
Master Gu didn't know what to say when he saw Gu Xi's appearance.Sighing deeply, he sat on the chair and handed the jade pendant to Gu Xi.Gu Xi took it and didn't want to take it anymore, after all, it was something picked up.It's better to collect it properly.
Master Gu said in a low voice: "Tomorrow I will ask the housekeeper to ask Mr. to teach you. You should study hard for me. By the way, where is your private seal? Now that you are back, give it to me."
"What private seal?" Gu Xi was puzzled.
When Mr. Gu was about to speak, Mrs. Gu came in suddenly.
"Master, the matter is over. Why are you being so cruel to Xi'er now? Besides, I asked Xi'er earlier. She doesn't know what the private seal is. It can be seen that she lost it when she was a child." Mrs. Gu His words carried the breath of that era, and he respected and complained about Mr. Gu.And these years, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu have treated each other with respect.The two probably have a feeling of being inseparable from each other.But something happened, Master Gu decided to get Gu Xi back.This incident changed Mrs. Gu's impression of him somewhat.
Mr. Gu has a small mustache, and now he sees Mrs. Gu coming in, he doesn't say much.Quietly stroking those two mustaches, thinking: what Madam said is not impossible, a seven-year-old child can keep something.What's more, Xi'er was kidnapped and sold.
Gu Xi stood aside.It's not for nothing to be a maid for so many years, at least she knows how to act according to her master's face.Now that she saw the posture of Master Gu and Mrs. Gu, she knew that she had something to say, so she didn't linger any longer and said it before she backed out.
In the study, Mrs. Gu said coldly: "Because of you, Xi'er has been homeless for so many years. Now that she finally came back, you still speak coldly to her. How much do you hate her? That's your own flesh and blood!"
Mrs. Gu was a little hysterical, but Master Gu was still indifferent.He was a man, an irresponsible father, and a half-hearted husband.But he is human and has a heart.When he ordered Gu Xi to be drowned, he had already bought off those clansmen.It was just taking Gu Xi to the water's edge and sending him away quietly.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu went back to the ancestral hall to beg, and finally let Gu Xi leave.
Mrs. Gu saw that Mr. Gu didn't speak, she was silent for a while, organized her words, and now she finally started to say: "The child of the second uncle's family was born by his fourth concubine and that family. Thanks to your Gu family being a treasure, You bullied Xi'er and Ran'er all day long. Now that the truth is out, don't you feel sorry for your conscience for wronging my daughter for more than ten years? Xi'er has been good since she was a child. Why is she desperate? She said, "Daddy likes good children". What have you done? Xi'er and the second uncle's child fell into the water together, and you are not even willing to give Xi'er a bowl of ginger soup. Instead, please After learning Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, it’s just a matter of calling the sorceress to dance to the great god.”
Mrs. Gu's tears finally couldn't stop falling when she said this, Master Gu didn't say a word, and he didn't expect that the child of the second brother's family turned out to be an outsider.Back then, the position of the family should have been given to the second brother, but I never thought that my mother would hand over the Gu family to him before she died.He was ashamed of his second brother, so he wanted to give him more compensation.
Mrs. Gu thought for a while and continued to sob and say, "When Ran'er was pregnant in my stomach, your cruel second brother drugged me. It didn't poison me, but it caused Ran'er's birth defects. Now she It looks like, the doctor said it's sad next year's autumn harvest. Your second brother can be said to be 'doing his best' to you, and only you can be vicious enough to kill your own flesh and blood."
"I'll treat her well, you go back first. It's late, I'm going to rest." After so many years, Mr. Gu knew that he was ashamed of his wife.But things have already happened, what can he do?Didn't he immediately send someone to deliver a letter to Gu Xi's master after the truth came out?
Mrs. Gu sighed deeply and ignored Mr. Gu.She left first.
After Mrs. Gu left, a figure appeared from the corner.It was Gu Xi who had just left. She secretly listened to the conversation between Master Gu and Mrs. Gu here.
Seeing that the two were separated now, she also went back to the room.But the moment he opened the door, he saw Gu Ran sitting inside.
Gu Xi had long heard that the second young lady of the Gu family was a sick child, and just now she heard the conversation between Madam Gu and Master Gu, now she snorted coldly when she saw Gu Ran like this.In the past, I envied that a sick child could be a young lady, but she only had the life of a maid.Now that she is also a young lady of the Gu family, she naturally doesn't take Gu Ran seriously.What's more, with Gu Ran's delicate appearance, maybe he won't be able to survive next year.At that time, the whole Gu family will be hers.
When Gu Ran saw Gu Xi coming in, she stood up happily.Walking in front of Gu Xi, he said with a smile, "Sister, what does Dad want from you? But..." Have you ever made things difficult for you?Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Gu Xi.
"Why did dad want me to tell you?" Gu Xi dismissed it, but it was just with the weak second lady.Walking past Gu Ran sideways, sat down on the stool, picked up the pastry in front of him and ate it.
Gu Ran didn't care too much, it may be that her sister has been suppressed outside for too long these years.While thinking, she sat beside Gu Xi.Seeing that Gu Xi was eating happily, she said softly: "My sister likes to eat these sweets? But it's too late now, it's better to eat less."
"These are given to me by my mother, why do you tell me to eat less." Gu Xi used to live a life without a meal, so naturally he couldn't understand Gu Ran's saying 'eating too much at night is not good for your health'.
Gu Ran smiled slightly, this sister is too strange.Is it because we have been separated for too long?It doesn't matter, as long as we get along well, my sister will still go back to the past.I'm just afraid that I'm running out of time.I don't know if I can last until then.
"I heard outside that you are sick. What kind of sickness are you suffering from?" Gu Xi looked at Gu Ran and opened the distance between the two of them.Although the look of disgust was somewhat hidden, it was still clear.
Seeing this, Gu Ran didn't care about it, and said with a light smile, "A little chronic illness, it's not a serious illness."
"Oh, it's fine if it's not an infectious disease." Gu Xi took another piece of pastry and ate it with confidence.I couldn't eat too fast and wanted to talk, so I choked.
Gu Ran hurriedly brought her a glass of water, and she gulped it down with Gu Ran's hand.After drinking, he patted his chest, looked at Gu Ran and said, "You are a nice person, and you don't have any airs of a lady. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly when I take over the Gu family."
"Well, sister, are you feeling better?" Gu Ran feared that Gu Xi was not there yet, so she poured her another glass.
Gu Xi quickly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I won't drink anymore. I'm too lazy to get up at night. I'm going to sleep, you go down."
Gu Xi behaved like the young lady from that family before, but completely forgot that the person in front of her now was the second young lady of the Gu family.Her 'sister' is not a maid.
And Gu Ran didn't care about it, and said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Well, sister, you have to rest. I'll go first."
After Gu Ran left, she took another piece of pastry and ate it.
Early the next morning, Yang Xiaoyu got up from the bed.After washing up, he knocked on Gu Xi's door.
Gu Xi opened the door, and before he finished yawning, he saw Yang Xiaoyu leaning against the door with a smirk.Gu Xi casually smoothed the broken hair on his forehead, looked at Yang Xiaoyu and asked incredulously, "Why are you so early?"
"Morning? It's almost 09:30, did you forget that we're going to your house today?" Yang Xiaoyu was anxious to find a home for Xiao Taohua to entrust, so now she was urging her as if she was the one who was going home.
Gu Xi yawned, and said to Yang Xiaoyu: "Okay, let's go back. Anyway, I am also the eldest lady of the Gu family, and no one can do anything to me after all."
This is true, otherwise Gu Xi would not have resolved troublesome matters in his capacity as the eldest lady of the Gu family all these years.
"Erya, have you seen my jade pendant?" Gu Xi's face was a little anxious, but after all, he was anxious because he couldn't find anything.
Yang Xiaoyu also helped to search for it, and asked while searching, "What's wrong? Is that something important?"
