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

Ning Xintang.

Seeing Feng's crooked appearance, Mrs. Gu asked someone to show her to sit, while Gu Zhaoyu knelt in the hall.

The old lady didn't want to see Gu Zhaoyu now, but she didn't get angry, and waved her to get up.

The old lady took a sip of her tea, and said lightly: "The second room is getting more and more lively, and they are arguing about trivial matters all day long, and they want me to uphold justice."

Resisting her drowsiness, she glanced at Feng Shi.As the mistress, getting angry because of a concubine, and bothering her again and again, do you think she has nothing to do to deal with these trivial matters?

"It's my daughter-in-law's impulsiveness." Feng's complexion was pale and his voice was weak.

Sister Feng secretly laughed.Feng Shi still had the strength to hit people just now, but now he is acting weak.

"I heard that there was a pregnant woman who was raised as an aunt..." The old lady thought for a while, but really couldn't remember Mo Nong's name, "I heard that girl had a miscarriage?"

Feng thought that the old lady wanted to ask her to blame, even though she knew that Mo Nong was deliberately pushed down by Gu Zhaoyu, out of instinct, she still protected her and took the blame on herself.

"It's because the daughter-in-law was careless...Of course, the main reason is that those mother-in-law's actions were careless, and Mo Nong fell down while being pushed."

Mrs. Gu's eyes flickered, "Can you ask the doctor to read it?"

Mrs. Feng didn't doubt why the old lady cared so much about a Tongfang, she just thought she was a grandson who was distressed.She hurriedly said: "I've already asked the government doctor to see it, and I'm lying on the bed now, I think I'll recover after a month of good care."

Sister Feng: "..." After beating someone, Mo Nong lost his child, and now he is sending someone to recuperate. Could it be that Gu Hong won't care about Feng's?Now that you have made up your mind to make a big fuss, why are you still so muddled?

She resisted the urge to remind Feng Shi and continued watching the play.

Mrs. Gu smiled inexplicably, "You are really a good mistress for letting my concubine go to recuperate."

Feng thought that Mrs. Gu was dissatisfied with her, so she smiled embarrassingly and dared not speak.

Mrs. Gu blew on the green tea leaves floating in the tea water, "You guys are making too much noise this time, and everyone in the house heard it. I heard that you also rewarded your second child with antique jade, The gold and silver jewelry were smashed, and the aunts of Tongfang were all painted, and the bruises and swollen faces are all minor, right?"

Feng Shi wanted to be happy when he smashed it, but now hearing the old lady talk about it, he can't help but feel heartache.If I had known that I would regret it, I should have moved those good things away and hit those bitches to vent my anger, but it is too late to regret now.

Fortunately, some of those things belonged to the second wife, and some came from Gu Hong's private treasury, not from the public school, so there was no need to pay.

Feng could only say: "Daughter-in-law is impulsive, so she's a little more aggressive."

The old lady continued to ask, "What about now?"

Feng shi lowered his head.Now... Now those vixens should be screaming in pain, rushing to the doctor to see a doctor and make medicine.With their injuries all over their bodies and faces, they won't be able to serve Gu Hong for ten days and a half months. Hmph, it's best to disfigure them.

Of course, she didn't dare to say this in front of the old lady, she just said: "It's okay for the daughter-in-law to get angry, after all, they are the ones who serve the master, so they should show some sympathy."

The old lady snorted lightly, noncommittal.

"Anyway, it's outrageous to make a scene like this. If it spreads out, wouldn't it be a joke that people like us have no rules at all? As the mistress, who fights with concubines and concubines, who in the whole capital can find someone like you? Like this? Aren’t you lowering your status by doing this? Even Brother Wen will be implicated by you, and no one wants to be talked about having a mother who is not self-respecting and decent.”

When Feng was beating someone, she was very aggressive. After what the old lady said, she felt that she had done something wrong.At that time, she only thought about smashing the pot and smashing it, not so much.

"What the mother taught was that the daughter-in-law knew she was wrong."

The old lady raised her eyelids and glanced at her, "As the mistress, you have to think twice about doing things in the future. Is it what you should do if you take people to smash things and beat people at every turn?"

Having said that, Mrs. Feng remembered that when Second Sister You was still a concubine, she took someone to smash up Second Sister You's house.Counting it, this is the second time for her. The old lady is very tolerant and loving if she can tolerate her doing this.

Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty, "No...it shouldn't be."

Mrs. Gu sighed secretly, remained silent for a while, and looked deeply at Gu Zhaoyu again.

"Your status is different now, and I can't control you anymore. For the sake of our grandparents and grandchildren, let me remind you that you must act cautiously at any time and don't be smart. You must know that there are people outside of people, and there is a sky outside of the sky. Being smart can only be a cocoon in the end, do you understand?"

Gu Zhaoyu was startled, and understood that the old lady was warning her, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

She originally thought that she would be reprimanded again this time, and she was ready to be punished.Unexpectedly, the old lady just raised it high and lowered it lightly, without any intention of pursuing it.

After leaving Ning Xintang, she was still thinking about it.

After a while, Mrs. Gu leaned on the couch again, and said with a soft smile, "You are young and can't hold your breath. Since I was impulsive once, there is no clean solution."

I don't know whether it was Gu Zhaoyu or Feng Shi who said this.

After taking a sip of tea, he said to Sister Feng again: "You want to ask why I only blamed them once and didn't punish them?"

Sister Feng smiled slightly.

The old lady sighed softly, "All concubines and concubines are just rootless duckweeds. How they live depends entirely on the master's will. Even if the mistress sells them directly, there is nothing wrong with them. The status is completely incomparable. Now that I know it, how can I punish the second lady for them? The reason why I am angry with them is because they made a lot of noise, but they didn't clean it up."

Sister Feng understands that the old lady hates iron but not steel.But as the old lady of the family, she can't directly teach her daughter-in-law to deal with such things.

"It would be great if Second Aunt could understand your good intentions."

Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "I'm old, this family will be separated sooner or later. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As long as the Gu family is well, I don't want to care about the affairs of the younger generation, but I think she really can't turn her head around. Mention her."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "I'm afraid Second Aunt thought you were angry with her."

The old lady said again: "If it were you, what would you do?"

Sister Feng's eyes jumped, why did the old lady ask her this?

"It's just the two of us here, just say what you have to say."

Sister Feng blinked, "He dares to take a concubine, I will never forgive him!"

The old lady didn't think that Sister Feng was jealous, but she smiled, "If a man really wants to take a concubine, even if he can't stop it, it will cause him to have a lot of resentment towards his wife. To put it bluntly, the reason why concubines dare to be arrogant in front of their wife , are used by men. Even if the main wife teaches them, it will be in vain, and it will give them a chance to pretend to be pitiful in front of men. Even if they are sold, the next batch will come in."

Sister Feng had an idea, "Since that's the case, let him accept it. I'm happy to leave a reputation of being virtuous and generous."

At worst, she would find a potion of immortality medicine in private and feed it to him.If you can't conceive a child, let's see how arrogant those Tongfang aunts are.When her child grows up, he can also 'die'.At that time, won't she have the final say on everything in the house?Sell ​​whoever you want, no one can stop you.

In fact, she thought so at the beginning.Fortunately, Gu Xingchi is a good man, otherwise her plan would be carried out.

Of course, she would never tell the old lady and Gu Xingchi about this thought.

Sister Feng was still talking to the old lady, while Gu Zhaoyu and Mrs. Feng had already returned to Biqiu Courtyard.

Feng still couldn't figure out what the old lady was thinking. She ordered someone to close the door, patted her heart and said, "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't be so hot-headed. I would teach those bitches a lesson with you. Your grandmother would have been right You and I are dissatisfied, and now that this incident has happened again, she will not give me a good face in the future. Her grandson died at our hands. Hey, it is not good for us to beat anyone, but why is it towards Mo? With Nong's hands, Aunt Xue's child died not long ago, and Mo Nong's also. Although I don't like concubine sons and concubine daughters, children die too frequently."

Gu Zhaoyu thought about it all the way, and said to Feng Shi: "But did mother say anything to grandma? She just said superficial things, and never scolded us because of the child. Mother, don't forget, when you wanted to get rid of You Grandma didn't say anything about Auntie's child, and she has no intention of pursuing Auntie Xue's child, so why would she care about Mo Nong's child?"

Feng Shi was taken aback, "But why does your grandmother care so much about Mo Nong?"

Gu Zhaoyu sneered, "What is the identity of grandmother, what is Mo Nong, why does grandmother care about her?"

Having said that, she suddenly stopped and stood up abruptly.

"Mother, hurry up and ask Ren Yazi to come over. Except for Aunt You, everything is sold."

Feng Shi was dumbfounded, "Sold them all?"

Gu Zhaoyu was a little regretful, "I was only concerned about venting my anger, so I beat them up without thinking. Now that I think about it, I should have sold them directly. Grandma blamed us for withdrawing the army in the middle of the quarrel, and gave it to the enemy. Taking a breather, those whores are still alive and kicking after a few days of recuperation. It's a waste of effort to make people see a joke."

Feng Shi slammed down on the chair.Yes, she was so angry for a while, she didn't think of this at all.Anyway, it will make Gu Hong unhappy, why not do it thoroughly?

She hurriedly said, "Quick, go."

As soon as Nanny Feng stepped out of the door, she heard the woman guarding the door running panting.

"Ma'am, the second master is back and is coming to our yard." And he was in a hurry.

Feng thought, it's too late.

"It must be some little bitch who sent someone to tip off the news!"

Missed opportunity, missed opportunity!Feng's heart ached like it was bleeding.

Nanny Feng withdrew her foot and asked, "Madam, what should we do now?"

Feng's back was straight, "Don't worry about him, I beat them, what can he do to me?"

When Gu Hong learned what Feng Shi and Gu Zhaoyu had done, he came back in a hurry and went straight to Biqiu Courtyard.Seeing the mother and daughter, she became furious, pointed at Feng Shi's nose and reprimanded her.But he can't fight Feng's. If it gets out, everyone will laugh at him and despise him for doting on his concubine and destroying his wife.As for Gu Zhaoyu, he didn't even dare to move.Gu Chaoyu is the good concubine conferred by His Majesty, if he fights against Gu Chaoyu because of concubines and others, I am afraid that someone will impeach him for disrespecting His Majesty and contempt of the royal family the next day.

Gu Hong had no choice but to vent his anger on his mother-in-law and maidservants, dealt with those servants who participated in this matter, and went to Xikuayuan to see Mo Nong, who had miscarriage.

Feng breathed out, "If I had known this would be the result, I shouldn't have endured until now. Although I regret not being able to sell those whores, I'm still very happy to see them deflated. It's just that I have With today's incident, we won't be able to deal with them anytime soon."

Although Gu Qionghua was given the marriage first, it was Gu Zhaoyu who married first.

Feng took Gu Zhaoyu's hand and said: "In the future, when you enter the prince's mansion, you must be careful everywhere and take care of yourself. To be honest, I don't want you to marry the prince. Although the prince's status is high, you can only be subservient to Emperor Liang. The position depends on the face of the Crown Princess. Fortunately, your status is second only to the Crown Princess, and since you are from the Gu family, she must not dare to deliberately embarrass you."

Gu Zhaoyu nodded, "I know." She didn't feel too nervous or afraid, but she was full of fighting spirit.

After all, she is different from ordinary concubines, she has a rank and can enter the jade list.There is no need to salute when seeing the princess on weekdays, Fu Yifu passed away, and the concubines below could not be compared with her at all.It would be even more different if she gave birth to a brother as soon as possible. The Crown Princess has not yet had a son.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Zhaoyu entered the Prince's Mansion.Although it is not comparable to the grand wedding ceremony of the prince and the prince, there is still a ceremony, so many people go to the prince's mansion to have wedding wine.

However, as Gu Liangdi's natal family, no one from the Gu family was present, and everyone couldn't help but secretly guess.

When Gu Zhaoyu in the new house heard this, he secretly clenched his fists.The Gu family said that if they abandoned her, they would abandon her, they didn't even bother to pretend, did they want her to embarrass her in front of everyone on the first day of marriage?

She tried her best to suppress the resentment in her heart, sat on the bed, and waited for the prince's arrival.

She sat motionless for a long time, not daring to slack off.After an unknown amount of time, the prince opened the door and entered.

When Gu Zhaoyu saw the prince's face, his eyes were full of affection and a little timid, like a lost deer, pitiful and cute.Coupled with the fact that today's Gu Zhaoyu is more charming than before, the prince's heart warms up when he is looked at by such eyes.

Gu Zhaoyu has been hanging on him for too long. He was fresh from the beginning, but then he was tired, and now it's the wedding again.As soon as he saw her, the desire in his heart was easily aroused again, hoping to get her immediately, so as to relieve the eagerness that he couldn't get.

In all fairness, the emperor's sons all had good looks, even the dandy and lustful King Fu was handsome, and the prince's appearance was naturally not a problem.However, compared with King Qing and King Ning, there are some gaps. Fortunately, his status as the prince can make up for these gaps.

Gu Zhaoyu originally had some regrets about the prince's appearance, but when he thought of the prince's identity, this regret disappeared.

After drinking the wine, the crown prince saw such a delicate Gu Zhaoyu again, his heart became hotter and he wanted to hug her.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw tears rolling down from her eyes one by one.

The prince was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Zhaoyu quickly wiped away tears, forced a smile and said, "I am happy."

The prince didn't understand women's thoughts, but he still said patiently: "Since you are happy, you should laugh. Why are you crying?"

Gu Chaoyu smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, you know that I almost won't be able to see you. Because my concubine is going to marry you, my grandmother thought I was ashamed of the Gu family and wanted to kill me. If it wasn't for my mother's help, I would have died a long time ago." I will die to see you."

The crown prince didn't know the inside story, and Gu Xingchi didn't tell him either.He was confused and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Gu Chaoyu looked up at the crown prince, his eyes sparkled and tears flowed, "Grandmother disliked me as a concubine and shamed the Gu family, so she locked me up. But you know, I miss you all the time, and never care about my identity." .In order to be able to stay with you forever, I can only lie to my grandmother that I have a child of His Highness. My grandmother is furious and wants to kill me. If my mother did not make a big noise and threaten my grandmother with the reputation of the Gu family, I am afraid that what you will see It's my dead body."

Taizi immediately understood, no wonder, no wonder Gu Xingchi would take the initiative to bring up his marriage with Gu Zhaoyu, it turned out to be a last resort.

Gu Zhaoyu continued: "Your Highness, do you also think that I am a shameless person like my grandmother? In order to marry you, I don't even want my boudoir reputation. Do you think that I am self-deprecating and not worthy of you? None of the Gu family members were present at today's wedding banquet. They must have rejected me. I don't want to die by your side, it's just that my family doesn't want me anymore. The only thing I can rely on is you. If you don't want me anymore, I will Where else can I live? But even if you dislike me, I will never regret it, this is my own choice, no one else's fault."

After hearing this, the prince didn't say anything for a long time.

A beautiful woman expresses her heart in front of you, crying out her love for you.For you, I abandoned my family and shame, and I don’t even regret it, I just hope to stay by your side.If it were any man, would he be moved?And he will pity her even more, dote on her, and not disappoint her infatuation for him.

The prince greatly satisfied his vanity, his eyes and tone were full of affection.He gently wiped her tears with his sleeve, "Fool, you have paid so much for me, how could I despise you and abandon you? Don't worry, I will take good care of you and make the Gu family regret treating you like this."

Gu Zhaoyu achieved his goal, proud in his heart, but more and more aggrieved and pitiful on his face.Leaning in the prince's arms, she nodded, "I trust Your Highness. Your Highness, I only have you. Don't let me down."

Hearing this delicate and soft voice and smelling the quiet fragrance, the prince became distracted again.Sniffing deeply the fragrance of her neck, said in a hoarse voice: "As a prince, once I say something, I will naturally not go back on it. You can stay by my side with peace of mind."

As he spoke, he intertwined with her lips and teeth.Needless to say, it was a beautiful night.

The crown prince really dotes on Gu Zhaoyu very much, and stayed with her for many days. Even when he returned home in three dynasties, he specially ordered people to prepare a gift, and accompanied Gu Zhaoyu to look back at home. He gave Gu Zhaoyu a lot of face, and Feng's face is infinite spring.

Not long after Gu Zhaoyu got married, King Qing and Gu Qionghua's wedding also took place as scheduled.All of a sudden there was only Gu Qiongju, a girl who hadn't left the court, and Sister Feng was really uncomfortable.

Gu Qiongju also felt that he was alone, so he often went to Sister Feng's side to chat with her.

"When Lu Li got married, my mother and I also went there. I met my sister and King Qing. I could tell that King Qing was very kind to my sister and cared about her. Even though Mrs. Lu didn't look very well, she still It's really hypocritical to try to pretend to be happy. She only thought that her elder sister snatched away her favorite grandson-in-law, but she never thought that elder sister Lu didn't like King Qing at all. But there was nothing she could do if she was unhappy, and the concubine Xian didn't say anything , why would she dare to express dissatisfaction?"

Sister Feng laughed, "That's right, the second younger sister is Princess Qing now, and Mrs. Lu can only hold her anger in her heart."

Gu Qiongju said again: "Also, I don't like that weak cousin of the Lu family either. I was lost in our house before, and I had a sprained foot and let Lu Li help me. Lu Li got married that day, so busy, she always I accidentally bumped into King Qing, fell down as soon as the wind blew, and cried again after falling, as if someone bullied her, King Qing didn't even blame her."

Sister Feng shook her head with a smile, and pushed a cup of tea in front of her, "You talk and eat snacks at the same time, aren't you afraid of choking?"

Gu Qiongju drank it down in one gulp, and said with a smile: "King Qing just frowned, and took his sister around. But Mrs. Lu suddenly turned black, reprimanded the maid beside Lin Suxian, and apologized to King Qing. I don't know whether she is complaining about King Qing's lack of compassion, or about Lin Suxian's embarrassment for her."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "You can see clearly."

"Onlookers know." She tilted her head and said again, "However, I like the bride very much, and she has a temper with me."

"Cheng Wan?"

Gu Qiongju said: "I thought she was like Xu Xi, she was tricky and domineering because of her family's favor, but she turned out to be a straightforward and straightforward character. She won't make false claims with people she doesn't like, and she is also very enthusiastic about people she likes."

Most of the women who can develop such a personality are because they are well protected by their family members, and they are really loved and grown up by their family members as if they were the apple of their eye. This is the envy of many women.

The weather is getting hotter, and Sister Feng is pregnant, so she is more afraid of heat, but she can't catch cold, so she feels that this summer is extremely difficult.

Gu Qiongju dragged her chin and stared at her stomach, "Sister-in-law three, when will my little niece come out? Now I'm the only girl in the house, so boring."

Sister Feng smiled softly, "Hurry up. If you are really bored, just talk to Third Aunt and go to Sister Lin's house to play."

"That's a good idea." Gu Qiongju lowered his voice again, "However, I heard that Mrs. Lin is going to marry again. Will Miss Lin be in a bad mood?"

Naturally, Sister Feng had heard about it, but it was still just a rumor. It was still uncertain which girl it would be, but it would definitely not be Jia Mei.

"Sister Lin can't. She is so educated and sensible, she can only understand Mr. Lin and respect her stepmother."

At this time, Ping'er came in and said to Sister Feng: "A relative came from the Wang family. He was going to Rongguo Mansion to find the second wife. Hearing that the second wife was gone, he had to go to the Wang family to find Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang felt that she belonged to the Wang family. Your relatives should also let you know, so someone sent a letter to tell you."

Sister Feng already guessed who it was, but she still pretended not to know, "Who is it?"
