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

Sister Feng seemed to be apologetic: "For the Gu family, this is not a trivial matter, and it's useless if you ask me."

Second Sister You didn't believe it. Apart from Mrs. Gu, Sister Feng was the real mistress of the Gu family. How could her words be useless?It must be because she doesn't want to be nosy.

"Sister, we were so affectionate before, why don't you want to talk to me now, don't you think you dislike me?" Second Sister You burst into tears.

Sister Feng looked at the crowd in embarrassment, and pulled away Second Sister You's hand, "This is a big matter, and it can't be explained in one or two sentences, Miss You, don't make things difficult for me."

Sister Feng's attitude is so cold, it's not like when she recognized her sister before.

Second Sister You didn't care too much, she only knew Sister Feng among the people in the room.She grabbed Sister Feng's clothes again and said: "The Wang family and Jia's family have known each other for many years. Sister Feng should not abandon me even for the sake of my eldest sister. I am pregnant now. You have the heart to see our mother and child suffer." ?"

Sister Feng said lightly: "Please forgive me for being powerless. I was close to you before because I thought you were a kind and gentle woman. I never thought that you would do such a thing. Our Wang family has strict education and strict family style. If I Continuing to make friends with you really spoils the style of the family. If my aunt and uncle know, they will definitely reprimand me. Besides, the only one who has a little friendship with the Wang family is the Rongguo Mansion, and I only have Xi and a younger sister. You belong to Mrs. You Sister, then your matter should be handed over to her, it really has nothing to do with me."

Second Sister You looked at Sister Feng, and felt that the person in front of her was so indifferent and noble, completely different from Yan Yan who talked and laughed with her and Jia's family before, as if she was a different person.

"you......"

Ping'er couldn't stand it anymore, pulled the clothes out of Second Sister You's hands, smoothed out the wrinkles for Sister Feng, and said, "Miss You Second, our wife is also pregnant, so don't bother her."

Second Sister You complained to Sister Feng, "You and my eldest sister also know each other. I am her younger sister, so I am naturally a decent girl. You know it well, why don't you speak for me?"

Liu's temperament is straightforward, and she laughed, "A decent girl? A decent girl will be someone else's concubine? I hate relatives like you who can't get along, who come to climb up with sisters and sisters. If I have A shameless sister like you will definitely not recognize her. Now you are holding on to Sister Feng. If Sister Feng is really close to you, people outside will definitely laugh at Sister Feng. If you really want to recognize Sister Feng, we will I will invite your family and let them see how to arrange you."

Feng Shi didn't dare to speak until now, seeing this scene, she immediately said: "I heard that before she joined the master, she still had a marriage contract. It's just that seeing her fiancé's family going downhill, she thought of retiring the engagement, and borrowed money to marry her." The machine climbed onto the master."

Mrs. Gu said 'oh' indifferently, "So there is such a thing."

Second Sister You became more and more ashamed and angry, "That's not the case, I don't dislike the Zhang family..."

"It doesn't matter anymore." Mrs. Gu interrupted.

No matter how Second Sister You defends herself, being an outsider is enough to understand her character.

Second Sister You was isolated and helpless, and Gu Hong listened to Mrs. Gu again.She really couldn't help it, "No matter what, I am a member of the second master, and I have the flesh and blood of the Gu family. I am a girl from a good family, and the second master can't abandon me all the time. Even if I go to the government, the unreasonable ones are also the Gu family."

Feng stared at Second Sister You with complacent and cold eyes, "Why, are you threatening the Gu family? I've never seen such a shameless woman like you."

Second Sister You wanted to cry, feeling extremely wronged, "I am already the second master's person, if the second master doesn't want me, how will I behave and live in the future? I... I might as well die. "

After saying that, he was about to hit the table.

"Miss You Er, what are you doing, do you want to die at our house?" Mrs. Liu dragged Second Sister You back with one hand.

If it is reported that the Gu family forced people to die, the Gu family will definitely be impeached.

Second Sister You's expression was very innocent, "I'm a weak woman, do you have to force me into a corner?"

Gu Hong was still reluctant to part with Second Sister You, but he didn't dare to intercede. He just lowered his head, hoping that the old lady would stop noticing him, and then gave him a few crutches.

Old Madam Gu let them argue, and said calmly: "Forget it, if that's the case, you can stay."

"Mother..." Feng Shi and Gu Hong spoke at the same time.

Feng said anxiously: "Mother, wouldn't it be a joke to let such a shameless woman stay in the Gu family?"

"She is not a maid bought by the Gu family. She can't be sold or killed. What can I do if I don't keep her? If we really drive her away, people outside will not know what to talk about the Gu family." Mrs. Gu seemed to have no choice but to do so. After making this decision, never mention the child.The purpose is to let Second Sister You know that don't think that having a child can go to heaven.

"Then... that bitch can't keep it either!"

Gu Hong was not happy when he heard it, "Feng Shi, you are a bitch, don't forget this is my child."

Not to be outdone, Feng laughed sarcastically, "A child who has no matchmaker, what is it if he is not a bitch?"

"Feng Shi, please be merciful!" Although Feng Shi's words were not pleasant, Gu Hong also knew that what she said was right.

Feng said again: "Mother, it is kindness to keep this bitch in the house. If another bitch is left behind, what will happen to our Gu family? It will ruin the whole family style of the Gu family. If there are another bitch If you learn from others and use this kind of low-handed means to enter the Gu family, the Gu family is really messed up."

Feng's life is indeed not very good, but what he said makes sense, the Gu family is not something that can be entered casually.

"Mother, it is my biggest concession to let Youshi in. I must not let her keep this bastard. If mother disagrees, I will go back to my mother's house and talk to my brother."

Perhaps Feng Shi has tolerated so much over the years, Gu Hong almost forgot that Feng Shi can also go back to her mother's house to make trouble.

If Second Sister You didn't force her to die, Mrs. Gu would still let her keep the child, but she dared to threaten the Gu family.If you don't warn her, I don't know what kind of moth she will make in the future.

From the beginning to the end, Mrs. Gu took it calmly.She only glanced at Feng Shi and said, "You can figure it out."

After saying that, she was supported by Qian Momo and stood up, "That's the end of this matter, I'm tired. Feng girl also go back to rest soon, you are a double body now, don't be tired."

Second Sister You suddenly collapsed on the ground, looking at Gu Hong pitifully, Gu Hong turned his face away.

Feng sneered, "Qingzhu, hurry up and take Aunt You back to Biqiu Courtyard, and arrange her to live with Aunt Xue in Xikua Courtyard."

When she reached the door, she turned around and said, "Master, Aunt Xue's fetus is six months old, and you haven't seen her for a long time. I don't know how much she misses you."

Gu Hong looked embarrassed.

He really doted on Aunt Xue before, but Aunt Xue was pregnant and couldn't serve him. Later, he met Second Sister You who was more beautiful and charming than Aunt Xue, so he forgot about Aunt Xue.Now that Feng said it out of his mouth, it seems to be mocking him in public for his lack of luck, liking the new and disliking the old.

He felt ashamed once in a while, and went to Aunt Xue's room.

When Mrs. You arrived at Gu's house, Second Sister You's child was gone.But when she learned that Second Sister You had successfully entered the Gu family and became Aunt Gu Hong, Mrs. You was not so sad, but a little regretful.I can only persuade Second Sister You to take good care of her body and give Gu Hong another child as soon as possible to stabilize her position.

"Mom, what about Eldest Sister, why doesn't she come to see me?" Just after a miscarriage, Second Sister You was pale and weak, so she could only lie on the bed and talk to Mrs. You.

Mrs. You hesitated for a moment, but still told Second Sister You: "The story about you has already spread in the capital, and they all say you... hey, it's not a good word anyway. But don't pay too much attention to it. Anyway, how about you?" Easy to enter the Gu family, live a good life and win the heart of the second master. After a long time, the rumors outside will naturally dissipate. In a few days, give the second master a brother, and you will be firmly established in the Gu family Heel, I will rely on you for the rest of my life. The Gu family is more than ten times stronger than the Jia family. You have to seize the opportunity, and your sister and I will rely on you in the future."

Second Sister You didn't pay much attention to these words, anyway, Mrs. You had said it many times.What she cares about now is You Shi, "Didn't Mother go to see Eldest Sister?"

Youshi is the wife of Ningguo Mansion, being her sister is more respectable than being Youlao Niang's daughter.

Mrs. You sighed, "Of course I went. But your eldest sister said that she had a cold a few days ago and was not feeling well, so she couldn't leave the house."

Second Sister You's heart turned cold, and she smiled sadly, "It seems that Eldest Sister is tired of me."

"Your eldest sister can't be better than you, what are you talking about?"

Second Sister You shook her head, "I'm not talking nonsense, Eldest Sister thinks I've embarrassed her."

Yushi was really angry.Although Second Sister You and her are not real sisters, they are a family after all.Second Sister You was ridiculed by outsiders for doing such a thing, but did you ever think that she would also be looked down upon by others?Second Sister You only thinks about her own interests, and doesn't want to think about how she will meet people in the future?

Mrs. You covered her with the quilt, "Your elder sister is soft-hearted, how could she bear to be angry with you all the time, I will go back and persuade her. Isn't it a kind of help for her to gain a firm foothold in the Gu family?"

Second Sister You thought of Mrs. Feng again, and subconsciously touched the scar on her face, "Mother, I am not the only aunt in the second room, and the second wife is not easy to mess with."

Mrs. You said in a low voice: "Although she is the wife of the second wife, she is not Mrs. Hou. Both your elder sister and you have some friendship with Mrs. Hou. If you have nothing to do, go to her side and walk around. The second wife is For the sake of her face, I dare not embarrass you."

Thinking of Sister Feng's attitude towards her today, Second Sister You was disheartened, "She is Madam Hou, and Second Madam is her elder. I am just a concubine, how could she offend Second Madam for me?"

"How do you know if you don't try it? I was very easy to get along with when I saw Mrs. Hou that time." Mrs. You said, "It's a pity that your eldest sister refused to come, she has more face than us, if she asks Mrs. Hou to take care of you more. …”

Second Sister You was upset, "Mother, I understand what you mean, I will try."

Mrs. You smiled, "That's good. The most urgent thing is to take care of yourself and let the second master come to your room more often."

Second Sister You nodded indiscriminately, and after hearing what Mrs. You had said, she gave her some money and jewelry, and asked the maid to send her out.

When Second Sister You first arrived at Gu's house, besides Liuyun and Liuying, the maids around her were all arranged by Feng's family, so naturally they looked down on her.

Along the way, Mrs. You walked and watched, and asked the little girl where Mrs. Gu and Sister Feng lived, and the little girl patiently answered them one by one.

"The old lady doesn't care about business, and she doesn't take care of guests easily. All the affairs of the house are handed over to Madam Hou. Now that Madam Hou is pregnant, she only focuses on raising the baby. Master Hou also said that no outsiders should be disturbed unless necessary. Mrs. Hou, the housekeeper becomes the third wife. Fortunately, the third lady is straightforward, fair and impartial, and she does the housekeeping very well."

Hearing what the little maid said, Mrs. You gave up the idea of ​​going to see Mrs. Gu and Sister Feng.

Back in Xikuayuan, another little maid greeted her, "How is it?"

The little maid curled her lips, "It's not that good. I've got so many words here that my mouth is dry and I won't give any reward."

"It's really stingy, but I saw that she took a lot of good things from Aunt You."

"The last time Aunt Xue's aunt came to meet me on the road, she asked me a word and gave me a piece of silver. After all, she is the mother of Mrs. Jia Jiayou, why is she so stingy?"

"It's better to go to work in Aunt Xue's yard. At least Aunt Xue has a child by her side. What does she have?"

"What's the matter? I heard that the second master dotes on her. Will she be pregnant sooner or later?"

Liuying came out with a basin of water, and scolded: "Why are you chewing your tongue? Aunt Xin told the master to deal with you disrespectful servant girls."

The two were dissatisfied, but they could only beg for mercy.

Liuying said: "This is not an example."

After saying that, he opened the curtain and went in.

Second Sister You naturally heard the conversation between the two maidservants, and said to Liuying, "Where is Second Master?"

Liu Ying put down the water and said, "The servant has asked Liu Yun to inquire about it."

Liu Ying wiped the hands of Second Sister You, and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, the Second Master still cares about you very much, the most important thing now is to take good care of yourself."

Second Sister You has no way out, but she doesn't regret it either. Now she can only fight hard.

Shaoqing, Liuyun closed the door and came over. She warmed her cold red hands and said, "Auntie, I have inquired about it. The second master is staying at Aunt Xue's place tonight."

Second Sister You's eyelashes trembled, and her face became even paler.

She just lost her child today, Gu Hong didn't come to comfort her, but went to Aunt Xue instead?

Liuying comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry too much. Aunt Xue is a month old, and it's also right for the second master to accompany her."

Second Sister You sighed, "Forget it, let's eat first."

Gu Hong likes beauties, but there is a price to be paid for hugging left and right, enjoying the blessing of being equal to others.

Unsurprisingly, on the second day in the court, there were many censors and officials impeaching Gu Hong.

Even if the emperor was impatient, he had to bother the emperor with such trivial matters. After symbolically asking about the ins and outs of the matter, he demoted Gu Hong to be a fifth-rank Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. Hong has more time to spend with the beauty.

For the emperor, Gu Xingchi was the only person he valued. Whether Gu Hong was in the Gu family had nothing to do with him, and he would not consider the Gu family even if he demoted Gu Hong.Of course, Gu Xingchi didn't kindly intercede for his second uncle, and even watched the play from the sidelines.

After coming down to court, there was a minister who didn't like Gu Hong, and said to Gu Hong jokingly: "Degraded by a level, replaced by a beauty, the one who can make Gu Shaoqing pay such a big price must be a peerless beauty, Gu Shaoqing is very lucky."

For the first time, Gu Hong felt regretful.It's not easy to be promoted, and he was downgraded by a rank overnight. Just thinking about it makes him feel like a knife cuts his heart.He blamed Feng's family, and he also blamed Second Sister You.But this matter is unreasonable for him, he can't do anything to Feng Shi.He wished he had never met Second Sister You, so he wouldn't be in this situation.

...

"Everyone in the capital now knows that Second Uncle would rather be demoted for the sake of beauty, and some even say that he is very affectionate, affectionate and righteous. But only Second Uncle can understand how heartbreaking it is." Gu Xingchi He personally fed her medicine.

Sister Feng blocked it with her hands, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid he loves and hates Aunt You now. Even if he blames her again, as long as he thinks that she was bought with the same rank, he will let her live in the Gu family well."

Not only that, but Gu Hong will let outsiders think how much he loves Second Sister You, otherwise everyone will laugh at him.

"The second room will be very lively in the future."

Gu Xingchi laughed and said, "I don't care how the second room makes trouble, as long as they don't bother you."

He blew on the medicine and asked Sister Feng to drink it.

"I'm in good health now, why do I have to take medicine every day?" Sister Feng looked distressed.

"You've been tired before, and now you're just pregnant, it's better to take a few more days of anti-fetal medicine." Gu Xingchi insisted, and brought the medicine bowl in front of her.

She couldn't, so she could only hold her breath and finish drinking the medicine at once.

Gu Xingchi took the bowl, smiled and fed her a candied fruit.

Gu Xingchi embraced her, lowered his head and gently stroked her flat belly. "I didn't expect that we would have a child, and our child would live here."

The charcoal fire was close, she was wearing thick clothes, and she felt warm all over, but she gradually became sleepy and leaned lazily on his shoulder.

Sister Feng closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep, and asked naturally: "Yesterday, grandma said that she likes both brother and sister. What about you, do you want a daughter or a son?"

Gu Xing paused and thought carefully for a while.

Sister Feng was a little annoyed. Shouldn't this answer come out of his mouth? How dare he really think about it?

Under Sister Feng's 'prestige', Gu Xingchi said: "...son."

She was really annoyed now, and took his paw away, "Go away, I don't want to see you now."

Gu Xingchi hurriedly hugged her, stroked her back with his big hand, giving her comfort.

"Don't be upset..."

Sister Feng sneered, "You like your son so much, why marry me, maybe I just can't bear a son."

Gu Xingchi chuckled softly, "With such a hasty temper, it's not good for you to teach children like this."

Sister Feng snorted softly and ignored him.

"Do you know why I said I want a son?"

Sister Feng deliberately said: "Most people in the world value sons more than daughters. Although you are Lord Marquis, you are not exempt."

Gu Xingchi nodded her nose, "It will wrong me."

Sister Feng didn't go to see him, "Then why did you say you wanted a son just now?"

Gu Xingchi smiled and said, "Because...it's easy to raise."

Sister Feng looked at him in surprise.

Gu Xingchi sighed softly, "Although I am a man, I also know that in this world, it is not easy for women to gain a foothold, and it is even more difficult for women from ordinary families. The world has strict requirements on women, but they cannot be like men. Freedom, most of the time is spent in the backyard, and if you make a mistake, you will be lost forever. No matter how powerful or noble a woman is, she has to care about the eyes of the world. Marrying someone in the future will cause countless troubles , entangled with mother-in-law, relatives, and concubines endlessly. Even if you are wronged, because the rules are there, you must endure it.

If you meet someone unkind, then your life will be over.If it is our daughter, I will definitely treat her like a jewel in my palm, but only when we are alive.No matter how hard you try, there is always something you can't protect.Sons are different, they have more freedom and room for choice.If we have a son and he likes to study literature, I will ask the best teacher to teach him well. He likes to study martial arts, and I will support him.In the future, it doesn't matter whether he studies in the imperial examination or goes to the battlefield to make contributions, as long as he is willing, I have nothing to say.Since he is a man, he naturally has to be responsible for himself and protect himself.But if it is a daughter, we have to worry about her all the time, even after a hundred years, we will not feel at ease. "

"You've thought so much?" Sister Feng said.

"Yes." Gu Xingchi touched her forehead, "So, it's not that I don't like my daughter, it's really due to the situation."

Sister Feng lowered her head, "But I want a daughter." She even thought about her name and nickname.

"You really like it that much?" Gu Xingchi seemed a little embarrassed.

Sister Feng nodded repeatedly.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Xingchi finally made up his mind, "If that's the case, let's have a boy and tell him to protect his sister from an early age, so we can feel at ease."

Sister Feng was very happy, "This is very good."

Ping'er and the others were far away, and when they heard the conversation between the two, they couldn't help but look at each other.Master Hou and Madam decided in this way, can this kind of matter be decided by themselves?

After solving her worries, Sister Feng was in a very happy mood, and she didn't even feel the pain of taking the tocolytic, and she smiled brightly every day, as if she had already agreed with the concubine that she was pregnant with a daughter.

Yushengju is full of harmony and joy every day, while the second room is full of fun every day.

Ever since Gu Hong was demoted, Gu Hong has been depressed for a while, he stopped looking for his confidante, and spent more time at home.

Because Second Sister You hasn't recovered yet, she can't serve him.Besides, he didn't want to face Second Sister You now, so he took another roommate, and spent many nights with Aunt Xue.Aunt Xue, who had fallen out of favor, became proud again, and often went to Second Sister You's room to show off with her big belly.

The two of you come and go, it's so lively.

The Feng family didn't always make troubles with Gu Hong, and enjoyed watching the two concubines fight every day.Of course, she didn't have many chances to see Gu Hong, and Gu Hong didn't want to see her at all.In Gu Hong's eyes, Feng's is the chief culprit who caused him to be demoted.

Now Sister Feng is more than three months pregnant. Not long ago, she learned that Wang Xihe was also pregnant.Sister Feng wanted to go to Jiang's house to see her, but Gu Xingchi refused to agree.

Yingzhu laughed and said: "If Madam is really bored, go to Madam's place to chat with her old man for a while, or ask Second Miss and Third Miss to talk. It's cold now, it's not suitable to go out of the house."

Sister Feng blew about the cakes that fell from the storybook, "Forget it, I'll sleep for a while."

Xiang'er put away the storybook, "Madam is going to sleep again after eating, no wonder I think Madam has gained weight recently."

Sister Feng hurriedly picked up the small mirror and looked at it. It seemed that she was really fatter.Sighing helplessly, he lay down again.

After squinting for a while, Ping'er came in slowly, "Aunt You came to visit Madam, she is waiting outside."

Yingzhu lifted the curtain and glanced at the bed, then said softly: "Madam is resting. It's freezing outside, let her go back quickly."

"Do you know what's the matter with Aunt You?" Sister Feng asked suddenly.
