[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Candles were burning, and the room was filled with warm yellow light, making her face softer.The spring breeze was blowing outside, and the trees were full of delicate flowers. It seemed to be raining, and it seemed that the house was more peaceful and warm.

Gu Xingchi laughed softly, "Is it okay to know mine now?"

Sister Feng ordered people to serve dinner, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have known you for a long time."

"Since I'm so good, how can you thank me?" Gu Xingchi's lips curled up.

Sister Feng hurriedly moved away from him, and gave him a blank look, "How about the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

Gu Xingchi took a joking attitude, "There is already a clue. When Feng Shi finds her, I will send someone to pick her up to Beijing."

Sister Feng nodded, "That's it, I've settled my mind. After all, Xiangling is not a maid, so she can't always stay in the Gu family like Ping'er and others. Reuniting their mother and daughter is also a good thing to accumulate merit."

In this way, Feng was forced to be ill for a month.

After all, Feng Shi is the wife of the second wife, and she is needed when going out to socialize, so it is not easy to confine her for too long, so Gu Hong relieved Feng Shi's confinement after a month.

Although Gu Hong had never seen Feng Shi, fortunately, Gu Yanwen was a conscientious person, and rushed back as soon as he heard that she was ill.After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Gu Yanwen wanted to settle the score with Aunt Xue, but was stopped by Feng.She has been disgusted by Gu Hong, and she must not let her son in again.

"Brother Wen, the only people my mother can really count on now are you and Zhao Yu. You have to live up to your expectations and let your father and that little bitch look at you. You are the serious son of the second wife. No matter how biased your father is, Aunt Chongxue, I still have to rely on you in the future." Then, he talked about studying for the imperial examination.

Gu Yanwen's ears were almost callused, but he responded perfunctorily.

Feng said earnestly: "Are you willing to let the big house oppress you for the rest of your life? At the beginning, the big house only survived a little baby. If it is for the future of the Gu family, the title should be given to our second room. But your grandmother is too partial, and personally took care of Gu. Xingchi took her to be raised by her side, and would never let your father become the prince. It is a pity that your father is so old, but a child has been suppressed for more than 20 years. If I had known this, I would not have done it at the beginning. He should be kept alive."

Gu Yanwen held back his anxiety, "It's been so many years, it's too late to say anything now. The third brother is getting more and more wings, and His Majesty values ​​him, so what can I do?"

Feng's figured that Gu Yanwen could no longer go to the academy to study, and he should invite a teacher to come back and teach Gu Yanwen alone, and she could always restrain Gu Yanwen, so that he would not worry about failing the exam.Furthermore, when Gu Yanwen was at home, she could have multiple helpers.

Feng felt that she should put her plan into action immediately and go to see Gu Hong immediately.

At this time, a servant girl ran in staggeringly, "Husband... madam."

Feng scolded: "Whether the sky is falling or you are dead, why are you in such a panic - what happened to your face?"

This is Zhu Xiao, the eldest maid next to Gu Zhaoyu. She always treats other maids with her nostrils turned upside down, bossing her around, but now her face is swollen and bleeding, and this is the first time she has seen her.

Zhu Xiao also felt ashamed, covered his face and said: "It was beaten by Han Yu."

"Okay, now the third room actually dared to climb on top of our second room. Han Yu hit you, didn't it mean that Liu Shi hit me in the face?" Feng suddenly felt shortness of breath and chest tightness.

Gu Yanwen calmly said: "Why did Hanyu beat you, and where did Chaoyu go?"

"The eldest girl and the third girl are at the old lady's place now."

But it was only in the middle of the month, and Gu Zhaoyu's bird's nest was used up.In the past, Gu Zhaoyu wanted as much of this kind of thing as he wanted, but this time the manager refused, saying bluntly that it should be given to the third girl.Zhu Xiao and Hanyu refused to give in to each other, so they fought, and then alarmed Gu Zhaoyu and Gu Qiongju, who also quarreled.In the end, Sister Feng was alarmed and the trouble went to the old lady.

"This house is full of scumbags. Seeing that I have lost power, all of them are run to curry favor with that bitch of the big house. Even the third room is getting closer to the big house. If I were still the housekeeper, I would get a teenage girl in my turn." If the little girl calls the shots, my Zhao Yu will not be wronged!"

Over the years, Feng's housekeeper has taken advantage of his power and gained a lot of benefits, and bought many stewards to keep their mouths shut.With her here, she bought a lot of expensive things for Gu Zhaoyu with her public money.Like bird's nest, it was sent into Gu Zhaoyu's room like running water. I heard that Gu Zhaoyu used milk for bathing.

Not only that, it is common to rob sister Gu Qionghua of things.

But now, being Sister Feng's housekeeper, Feng Shi and Gu Zhaoyu no longer have such benefits, and even some people who were bribed by Feng Shi have turned their backs.In fact, in addition to the fixed share of the public, other people will also use their own private money to buy.However, the dowry brought by the Feng family has been used a lot by Gu Hong over the years to win over colleagues and socialize.

If she still sends the precious things like flowing water to Gu Zhaoyu like before, then Gu Zhaoyu's dowry will not look good when she gets married.

"What did grandma say?"

Zhu Xiao said: "Mrs. Hou called the steward and checked the account books. It was recorded that the eldest girl's share had already been taken, and the rest belonged to the third girl. The old lady said that the eldest girl robbed the third girl. Of course, it was not right for the third girl to argue with her elder sister, so she punished the eldest girl to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, and asked the third girl to go back and copy the Buddhist scriptures. The old lady asked me to let you know."

In other words, pleading is useless.

Feng was dizzy and sat down on the chair suddenly, "I dare to bully my daughter before I'm dead! If the Gu family is still in charge of me, how dare the people from Sanfang bully Zhaoyu like this?"

Of course, what she hates the most is Sister Feng, thinking that Sister Feng has robbed her of her rights.

...

After listening to Feng's analysis, Gu Hong felt that it was time to hire a teacher to teach Gu Yanwen how to read.There are many people in the academy, and the students are good and bad. Gu Yanwen made some bad friends, so that he didn't make much progress in his studies.

Feng's heart felt better. Compared with Aunt Xue and the unborn concubine, Gu Hong valued her son the most.

When Gu Yanwen learned of Gu Hong's decision, he was shocked.How can there be freedom outside when studying at home?Since it was Gu Hong's decision, he will be strictly urged.

The day before the teacher entered Gu's house, Gu Yanwen found some friends and went to Linjiang Pavilion for a drink.Xu was in a bad mood and drank more wine, but was sent back by a friend in the end.

After getting off the horse, the wind blew, and most of the wine sobered up.

Gu Yanwen blew on the wind for a while longer, so that he could fully wake up, so as not to make Mrs. Gu unhappy.

When approaching Ning Xintang, Gu Yanwen saw a woman coming out of the room.

Gu Yanwen watched the woman walk away, touched his chin, and ordered: "Ah De, find out which room the girl is from."

Ade understood, and said with a flattering smile: "Yes, young master."

"The old lady likes it very much. If it weren't for the late weather, the old lady would have eaten a few more yuan." Xiangling opened the curtain and came in.

A few days ago, Gu Xingchi hired a cook from Jiangnan who knew how to make all kinds of pastries. Every time Sister Feng sent someone to deliver a copy to the old lady.

Now Xiangling is no longer that cowardly, and everyone takes good care of her on weekdays, and as time goes by, her behavior becomes more generous.Coupled with her outstanding appearance, she is the most eye-catching among the crowd, no one who looks at her can regard her as a maid.

Sister Feng asked her to sit down and asked, "I know you don't remember your childhood. If your mother is still alive, would you like to go with her?"

After hesitating for a while, Xiang Ling said: "I am all alone, if I can find my biological mother, I will be happy. If I can't find it, it's okay, I am willing to stay by Madam's side forever to serve Madam."

Sister Feng returned the contract of sale to Xiangling long ago, and asked someone to accompany her to the Yamen to sell her slave status, so Xiangling is free.However, for her safety, Xiangling is still called her big maid.

For a person who doesn't even remember her parents, Sister Feng looked at her with a little more pity. "okay, I get it."

Two days later, Second Sister You came to visit Sister Feng again.I also came here twice last month, but every time Gu Xingchi was not there, Second Sister You was disappointed, so she ran here even more diligently.

Sister Feng sent Xiang'er to pick up Second Sister You. As soon as she entered the garden, a person came to meet her.

Xiang'er pulled Second Sister You to the side of the road, saluted, "Second Master."

"Yeah." Gu Hong lifted his foot and took a step, then stopped and looked back, "Any guests?"

Although Gu Hong is getting older, he still looks so gentle and refined. Thinking about it, he was also a handsome man when he was young, and his gestures were full of nobility, which is not comparable to that of Jia Zhen and Jia She.

Xiang'er's eyes flashed, "This is the second young lady of the You family, a friend of my wife's, please come and talk to me if you have nothing to do."

A look of astonishment flashed across Gu Hong's eyes, his face and figure were not inferior to Aunt Xue's at all.Speaking of which, Sister Feng's friends were all beauties, but some of them were from such good backgrounds that he dared not and could not move his mind.

But he saw that Second Sister You's dress didn't look like a girl from a rich family.

He still had a serious face, took another deep look at Second Sister You, who was standing with her head bowed, and left.

Outside the door, Gu Hong got on his horse and told the people around him: "Go and inquire about the You family, especially the daughter of the You family."
