Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 144

Episode [-]: Gu Yinfang.

She woke up from the dream, there was thunder outside, the sound of rain hitting the window sill outside the window, and the sudden lightning in the sky illuminated the house from time to time, revealing the furnishings in the house, a simple bed, two tables, There are also a few cabinets, and there seem to be a few paintings hanging on the walls, but the flickering light cannot be seen clearly.

There was another burst of thunder, and she opened her eyes again after closing her eyes just now, listening in a daze to the sound of the violent wind outside, and the spring rain was so raging.

Gu Yinfang got up quickly, put on a simple coat and opened the door, a gust of wind blew, and she almost couldn't stand still. On that day, she felt a little cold, closed the door and went back to bed, unable to fall asleep.

When I got up the next day, the yard was really messy. Several nuns had already started cleaning it up. The medicinal herbs that had been sun-dried a few days ago were blowing all over the ground. Gu Yinfang went to help, but the nuns who took care of her on weekdays did not Refuse again, in this kind of weather, the mountain is especially scary, not to mention the strong wind, the heavy rain is beating on the roof as if it will be worn down at any time, Gu Yinfang took the sieve and put it on the shelf, and the abbot brought people to inspect it loss situation.

After the thunderstorm, the weather was surprisingly good. The weather was clear and sunny. The first thing she did after breakfast in the morning was to read the morning class, and went to the main hall with a group of nuns to do the morning class. After taking a nap in the afternoon, she would follow a few nuns. Collecting herbs in the mountains, or planting and picking vegetables, sometimes listening to the abbot's lectures on scriptures, and doing needlework by herself at night, she was not at all idle in the nunnery.

When she first came here, she was unwilling and reconciled. She had quarreled and even wanted to escape. This boring life made her want to die for a moment, but gradually, she actually fell in love with this kind of life. The tranquil atmosphere made her feel at ease, and she gradually understood that the greatest desire of a person in life should be to live in peace of mind, not the days of calculating and living in Gu's mansion all day long.

After a simple lunch, Gu Yinfang went to the back mountain with two nuns. Some of the vegetables had their roots washed away by the water, and the road was difficult to walk. After washing the shoes and drying them in the yard, two nuns came to the door and said they were looking for something.

After Gu Yinfang passed by, it was one of the nuns who picked her up at the beginning. She handed her a letter and talked about the Gu family. Gu Yinfang listened quietly until she said that now is a good time, slightly Looking up, the nun smiled and said, "Miss Gu can pretend to be sick and go back."

"It hasn't been two years yet." Seeing the nun smiling, Gu Yinfang must have collected a lot of money.

"It's Missy's aunt and elder sister who miss you." The nun directly explained how to pretend to be sick. In this nunnery, as long as there is money, it is too easy to bribe people.

She opened the letter when she got back to the house. It was written by her sister. The aunt and father pleaded for her to come back early. The words were full of care and miss. After reading the letter, Gu Yinfang lit a candle and burned the letter directly. , and threw it on the ground.

Seeing the fading flames, Gu Yinfang clearly remembered what happened that day in her mother's house. It was this elder sister whom she relied on everywhere, accusing herself of stealing her hairpin, intentionally framing Seventh Sister, and killing her. I picked it clean by myself, and I was also an unknowing victim.

She took all the things to come here alone, and now something must have happened in the mansion.After staying here for more than a year, Gu Yinfang should have benefited a lot, at least she saw something clearly, although the road was still blurred, she had already found what she wanted.

The next day Gu Yinfang pretended to be sick, and five days later she got on the carriage back to Lin'an. The place she had tried so hard to go back to was not so much now.

Ten days later, Gu Yinfang returned to Gu's mansion. Gu Yinshuang, who reunited after a long absence, was very happy. Her sister finally came back, as if she had gained another arm, and even asked her to sleep together.

"Sister, you've worked hard these days, it's good to be back." Gu Yinshuang hugged this sister, feeling that she was a little distant, but after all, she hadn't seen her for more than a year, and she didn't care about this feeling. Instead, she told her There were many things, but Gu Yinfang was always listening quietly.

The life of being Miss Six is ​​much more comfortable than living in a nunnery. She doesn't have to do so many complicated things, she just needs to be her Miss Six, attend classes in the school, do needlework after school, and occasionally Gu Yinshuang She would come and walk around, but she seldom went to the sisters.

Because the father felt ashamed of his aunt, and treated them better, and the seventh sister she wanted to frame at the beginning, now lives in the Bauhinia Courtyard, except for meeting in the school hall, he rarely talks, and everything about the seventh sister, The second sister will talk to her.

She didn't understand before, but now she understands that the second sister did this just to cause her own displeasure, so as to find trouble for the seventh sister, but she can still stand by and watch, because at the beginning she didn't want the seventh sister to get better, and she didn't want Zhuqingyuan The other sisters in the family are better off, and they take it for granted that the favor given by their father should belong to the two sisters.

Gu Yinfang's plainness was exchanged for the kindness of her mother Fang's, and she learned not to fight or grab in the nunnery. In common words, fate is destined to be yours, and it will be yours in the end, not you Yes, I forced it, maybe it was yours for a while, but it was too tiring, and in the end it hurt others and I couldn't let it go.

And her elder sister's words and deeds accumulated more and more disappointment in her heart, until her aunt hanged herself to conceal her elder sister's intention to harm her seventh sister. It can be said that if it is not for him to refuse, the person who hanged himself or was kicked out of the Gu family is himself.

Gu Yinfang finally understands that no matter what sacrifices she makes, at the critical moment, she will always only love herself.

After tidying up my aunt's things, Gu Yinfang became more and more alienated from the elder sister in the general's mansion. The sisters in Zhuqingyuan got married one by one. After the fifth sister got married, her mother called her over and gave her posts from three families. , let her choose by herself, if there is one she likes, then she can make up her own mind about the marriage, if she doesn't, she can choose one of these three households.

After reading the posts of those three families, Gu Yinfang chose the last one with a simple family background and the worst family background among the three families, and the one farthest from Lin'an City.

The mother didn't ask her why she chose this way, but bought an extra portion for her in her dowry. Gu Yinfang began to admire this mother who had never treated them harshly for so many years, and her father took a whole yard of concubines I have never seen how angry she is. Up to now, she is living a much more comfortable life than her father.

Before Seventh Sister got married, she gave her a dowry. In the past, she would have been jealous that her younger sister, who lived in the same yard as her, was able to marry into the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and the marriage was bestowed by the emperor himself. all over.

After getting married, Gu Yinfang was grateful for her choice. People say that high-marriage is low-marriage, but she is low-marriage. Her husband's family is the same as what her mother showed her back then. It's very simple. The only son, working as a sixth-rank general judge, and her mother died at home. It was early, her father did not remarry, she only had an old aunt who served her, and had no concubine children. The mansion at home was much smaller than Gu's mansion, but Gu Yinfang found satisfaction and stability here.

The size and size of the whole family combined may not be as good as all the sisters in Zhuqingyuan plus the maids who served, but Gu Yinfang enjoyed it. There are few people in the house and the general affairs are light. She often goes to the kitchen and cooks in her spare time. Mother cooks together, and there is an extra hostess in the family, which makes her look more lively.

As far as the Sun family is concerned, it is also a great fortune to marry such an aristocratic daughter who has no airs in the slightest.

In the second year after getting married, Gu Yinfang gave birth to a daughter named Sun Nian. Everyone in the Sun family was very happy, especially Sun Linqin, who kept hugging her daughter and said she was pretty. Zheng Ke died of sorrow.

Gu Yinfang hugged the child and smiled. The family is small, but there is warmth everywhere. There is no battle in Gu's mansion, no need to calculate others all day long, no need to find ways to flatter the master and wife, simple people want to How to treat others well.

When Sun Nian was three years old, a major incident happened in Lin'an City. His brother-in-law rebelled against him, and the Lu family was arrested. Come back again, including my sister.

Before they left Lin'an City, she received a message from the Lu family, saying that her elder sister wanted to see her. When the message passed, it was passed by Prince Ping. At the gate of the Lu family, Gu Yinfang met Seventh Sister , in comparison, her simple plain attire is a bit clumsy.

The two brought them into Lu's residence together. Gu Yinfang didn't expect her sister's injury to be so serious. Not to mention the gauze wrapped around her face, her body was tied to the bed and she couldn't move. There was no maidservant around her.

She should feel the pleasure of retribution from the bottom of her heart, but seeing her sister lying on the bed like this, Gu Yinfang felt pity, sacrificed so much, and got such a result.

"Yinfang, take me away quickly, take me back to your house, I don't want to stay here." Gu Yinshuang grabbed Gu Yinfang's hand in a panic, asking her to take her away from Lu's house, Gu Yinfang Looking at her lightly, "Sister, do you think it's all worth it?"

"Did you ever expect that the result of a day when all the organs are exhausted is that you want the person who died to live well, but the person who wants to live dies because of you." Gu Yinfang gently held the handkerchief Wiping her hands carefully, he muttered.

"Gu Yinfang, I asked you to come here, not to listen to you to teach me." Gu Yinshuang stared at her with wide-open eyes, and shook her hand away, Gu Yinfang chuckled softly, "Look, Second sister, you are always like this, it’s not bad at all, do you remember when I was four years old, I was still living with my aunt, at that time I liked a little puppet in your house and wanted to play with it, you know After I finished it, I went straight back to my aunt, do you still remember what you said?"

Something flashed in Gu Yinshuang's mind, and her complexion changed slightly. Gu Yinfang smiled, looking down at the faint drug color oozing from her gauze, "You took the puppet from my hand, threw it on the ground and stepped on it. Several times, and then ordered people to throw it in the pool, you said your things, even if you don’t want them, they are still yours, and no one can touch them.”

"That was young and ignorant, I didn't expect you to remember it." Gu Yinshuang moved her mouth, and finally said in a softer voice than her.

"Really?" Gu Yinfang looked up into her eyes, Gu Yinshuang's face darkened, and said in a serious voice, "Why, you still have to worry about these old things with me."

"This is an old thing. To protect yourself, you said that the hairpin was the thing that I framed Seventh Sister. It is also an old thing. Then it is also an old thing that you borrowed my hand to trip Seventh Sister many times. Auntie will pay for you." Life is also an old thing, and after your aunt died, you conspired with your brother-in-law to find ways to put Seventh Sister to death is also an old thing?" Gu Yinfang's tone gradually became higher, people don't understand how she can't understand this sister, brother-in-law Some of the things I did were not instructed by my sister.

"There are so many old things, you don't know where you are wrong from the beginning to the end, Gu Yinshuang, you have only loved yourself in this life, and everyone who stands in your way should fall down, but you put the world As the third wife of the Gu family, you can do whatever you want." Gu Yinfang said as if venting for the first time, Gu Yinshuang was stunned for a moment, and then shook her hands fiercely to get up and grab her, but the belt on her body caught her. It was tied tightly, and she couldn't break free no matter what, so she started to grab what she could grab on the bed and threw it at Gu Yinfang.

"Now you want me to take you away from the Lu family. Have you ever considered that you are already the daughter-in-law of the Lu family? Even if you die, you will stay in the Lu family. Have you ever considered that you will leave? What should a child under the age of one do to make her lose her mother since she was a child? Yes, you wouldn’t think about these things, because you only want to improve your situation now, leave Lu’s house and follow me to Sun’s house. You don’t have to suffer that.” Gu Yinfang stood up and looked at her condescendingly, “My aunt has already borne it for you for the sins you made yourself, and I don’t owe you anything. Cleared."

"Gu Yinfang, you!" Gu Yinshuang looked at her angrily, Gu Yinfang took out a bank note from her cuff and put it in her hand, "This is the last thing I can do for you, sister, please do it yourself." Gu Yinfang Fang walked out of the room and saw Seventh Sister looking at this place calmly, and then heard the abuse coming from the room, and sighed slightly. If Second Sister knew that more than half of the money came from Seventh Sister, would she throw it away or throw it away? Keep.

The days when I returned to the Sun family were still very peaceful. With the improvement of the Gu family, the husband also got a certain amount of support. Sun Linqin often liked to hold her in his study and say that she was the big lucky star of the Sun family and his daughter was the little lucky star of the Sun family.

Gu Yinfang had only one child, Sun Nian, in his life. Until Sun Linqin lived in the third rank of the official residence, he had no idea of ​​taking concubines and having children to inherit the incense, and cared for their mother and daughter.

Gu Yinfang passed away early and left very quietly. Sun Linqin often stayed alone in the study, reading the Buddhist scriptures that Gu Yinfang used to read. This woman, like a clean white lotus, walked into his life quietly, but He left traces of her in every corner he could see, bloomed her best years, and then left without any regrets. It is better to say that he accompanied her through this short period of time. In my life, I left too many good memories.

She spent the first half of her life learning how to keep a calm heart to deal with it, and spent the second half of her life trying her best to wait for the home she wanted.

A thought of ignorance is prajna, and a thought of wisdom is prajna.
