Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 32

In the blink of an eye and half a month, the autumn atmosphere is strong, the married daughter of the Gu family goes home to visit relatives, and a stage is set up in the attic of the garden.

The third old lady, Mrs. Yang, has been in a good mood for the past half month. Seeing everyone smiling happily surprised Gu Miaoting, the second daughter of the first wife who has not been back for several years, "Third aunt seems to be very happy."

Mrs. Gu always felt a little bit disappointed that a concubine was so happy, and it wasn't Lan Xin who gave birth to a concubine, "The third aunt gave birth to a son, and your third aunt couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear."

"Oh, I thought it was Lan Xin who gave birth again." Gu Miaoting smiled slightly, "There are quite a lot of aunts in the third brother's room."

Gu Miaoting's voice was neither too loud nor too loud, and Mrs. Mu heard it, and Mrs. Fang sitting behind her heard it too. Mrs. Mu glanced slightly behind, only to see Mrs. Fang staring at the table without changing expression, and finally sighed.

On the other hand, Yin Huan and the others in the other attic were so noisy that there was no silence. Gu Yinhua looked at Gu Yinshuang almost angrily, with dirty tea leaves and water stains everywhere under her skirt, "Second sister, you It was on purpose!"

Gu Yinshuang took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on her body, Gu Yinhua took a step back and patted the handkerchief off her hand, "Don't be hypocritical."

"Fifth Sister, it was you who suddenly leaned over. I was frightened and didn't hold the cup firmly. How can I say I did it on purpose?" Seeing that she didn't want it, Gu Yinshuang wiped the tea on her hand. The veil has fallen to the ground.

"If you hadn't been passing my silk handkerchief around, how could I have taken it from you." Gu Yinhua's tears of grievance hung in his eyes.

"Fifth Sister, you'd better go change your clothes first, or you'll catch a cold later." Yin Huan kindly reminded him, bent down and picked up the silk handkerchief and handed it to her, Gu Yinhua Glancing at everyone, he stomped his feet and ran out.

"I don't know who the fifth sister is going to give this kind of handkerchief to." Gu Yinlian covered her mouth and smiled, not feeling that she was the culprit at all. The poem was read out and passed on to everyone for a while.

"Maybe Fifth Sister came to see it by herself." Gu Yinshuang sat down, and she was the one who held the cup, but she only got a little bit of the tea on her hand, and after taking off her veil, she can finally have a good time with everyone Come out, naturally don't want to lose a bit of identity.

"She came to see for herself, so I don't believe it." Seeing that no one agreed with her, Gu Yinlian immediately changed the subject, "Second Sister, has Grandma already decided on a name for Seventh Brother?"

"That's right, it's called Yikai. I said it was left by my grandfather." Speaking of his younger brother Gu Yinshuang, the smile on his face became a bit more. Gu Yinxiang also joined the topic, and Yinhuan listened from the side. They complimented Gu Yinyue and looked at Gu Yinyue, only to see that she was looking out of the window in a daze, neither watching a stage on the stage nor looking at the road below.

"Third sister, what's the matter with you?" Yin Huan asked in a low voice, and Gu Yinyue responded after calling twice. She turned her head to look at Yin Huan in a daze, "Yin Huan, do you believe the words of that elder Sikong?" Is it?"

"Why does Third Sister ask such a question?" Yin Huan looked at her in a daze, the words that Elder Sikong gave her that day seemed to have had a great influence on her.

"The Great Elder said that you have a new life and an old life. If you don't adopt it, you will die unexpectedly. Do you believe it?" Gu Yinyue continued to ask, "Aren't you afraid?"

"The Great Elder said that the third sister will be rich in the future, do you believe the third sister?" Yin Huan asked back, "If you believe it, the third sister will have it, and if you don't believe it, then she will not."

She, Gu Yinyue, was born rich and honored, she only cared about what the Great Elder said, don't force anything, what is considered as force.

"Now that you have changed your fate, it's natural to say so. If you don't care, you won't be so afraid in the arms of your aunt that day." Seeing her calm look, Gu Yinyue sneered, and Yin Huan didn't deny it.

"Third sister, most people are afraid of death, and death by accident is even more frightening, but these are not because you are afraid that you will not come, just like the third sister may be worried about certain things at the moment, it is better to be happy, because they will not come because of you. Worries and fears and little change."

Yin Huan looked at her seriously, Gu Yinyue was startled, the corners of her mouth moved slightly and her voice disappeared.

After a long time, when she came back to her senses, Yin Huan had already turned her gaze to the stands. Applause rang out, and a scene began.

The group of people did not feel unhappy because of Gu Yinhua's sudden departure. They walked slowly from the opera pavilion to the front hall, and Gu Miaoting met Yin Huan for the first time. Holding her hand, Gu Miaoting chatted with Mu Shi with a smile, " Sister-in-law, you didn’t mention anything to me when you wrote last time, not even your mother.”

"It's not easy for you to come back, and it's too late to say it now. Mother is afraid that you will come back in a hurry if you know your temper earlier." When the Mu family married, this sister-in-law was only eight years old. , After getting married, I only come back every two or three years, and I usually keep in touch with each other by letter.

"Isn't this an excuse for me to come back?" Gu Miaoting smiled and hugged Yin Huan in her arms, and she gave birth to two sons. She wanted a daughter, but she almost died when she gave birth to the second child, and Sun Zhi refused to let her have another child. .

"Mother." Sun Wenlu walked over with his younger brother Sun Wenle, and Gu Miaoting let go of Yin Huan and introduced them, "This is your eldest aunt's daughter, who is several months older than Wenle."

Sun Wenlu looked at Yin Huan and greeted him with a smile. At this moment, Yin Huan was thinking in his heart that with the scene of Lu Chongyan, he should not change in this life.

"Take your cousin to play with everyone, mother and your eldest aunt to talk about something." Gu Miaoting asked her son to take Yin Huan back to the garden to play with them, but it was just a round the corner, Yin Huan deliberately walked behind them Sun Wenlu walked slowly, and Sun Wenlu was not very familiar with the cousin who appeared suddenly, so he slowed down in front, and the three of them walked into the garden two in front and one behind.

This scene was almost the same as what Yin Huan remembered. Just as Sun Wenlu stepped down the steps, Gu Yinshuang groped towards this side, with a silk handkerchief covering his face covering his eyes.

Dazedly, he saw a figure in front of him, "I caught you!" Before Sun Wenlu could say anything, Gu Yinshuang touched his face, and happily pulled Sipa down, "See where you are going!" .”

Surrounded by silence, Gu Yinshuang saw that he had caught the wrong person, and quickly withdrew the hand that was caressing his cheek, and hid behind him like an electric shock, her face flushed.

But Sun Wenlu was in a daze, not knowing how to react, the warm feeling faded too quickly, and the temperature rising in vain on his cheeks made him a little nervous.

"Are you okay?" In the end, it was Sun Wenlu who spoke first. Gu Yinshuang blushed and shook his head, then turned around and walked towards Gu Yinlian who was hiding on the other side. Sun Wenle looked suspiciously at his elder brother. Blushing, scratching his head, "Brother, how did she touch you wrong when you are so tall?"

"Maybe the second sister was having fun and didn't pay attention." Yin Huan walked down and said, Sun Wenlu turned to look at her, "Cousin Yin Huan, the second sister you mentioned, is she also Miss Gu family?"

"Yes, she is the second young lady of the Gu family and the eldest daughter of the fourth uncle." Yin Huan looked at the direction where he was looking at Gu Yinshuang, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even bigger. It really hasn't changed, isn't this also the young master of the Sun family? Is it the first time seeing her?

Yin Huan once asked Gu Yinshuang naively, Young Master Sun is such a good character, and he is also close to the Gu family, her sister will definitely not be bullied when she gets married, and Young Master Lu is also good, why does her sister only admire that Young Master Peng.

At that time, Gu Yinshuang answered her like this, because they were not worthy. At first, Yin Huan only understood that it was because of their status. Now she finally understands that the so-called unworthy is because she, Gu Yinshuang, doesn't like it. Such a person who has no challenge, who is eager for her before she gets acquainted with her, what she wants is that her status, appearance and personality are all first-class, and everyone praises her, and the one who finally comes to her is the most proud.

Sun Wenlu looked away, "I'm going to find cousin Yixin, cousin Yinhuan."

"This is Gu's mansion, don't you want my cousin to entertain Yin Huan? You go, I'll go find the third sister." Sun Wenlu left in a bit of a panic, probably because of the shame he felt just now, Sun Wenle Quickly chased after him.

Yin Huan walked to the pavilion where they were resting, and Gu Yinlian made fun of Gu Yinshuang, "Second Sister, you're going to find the wrong one too." Seeing Yin Huan coming over, she asked curiously, "Seventh Sister, what did you say to Gu Yinshuang just now?" That young master came in together, which cousin is that?" After saying that, he gave Gu Yinshuang an ambiguous punch.

"That's the eldest aunt's son, Cousin Wenlu." Yin Huan followed Gu Yinlian's tone and called out the word "cousin". Gu Yinshuang shyly twisted Gu Yinlian's arm, "Okay, you guys You are all making fun of me, you are not the ones who are emotionally blindfolded, see what I say about you next time!"

"Yeah, yo, second sister, you are getting angry from embarrassment, look at you." Gu Yinlian dodged, but her mouth was not forgiving for a moment.

"Okay, if this continues, she won't have the face to eat later, she will be so embarrassed to see her cousin." Gu Yinyue persuaded from the side, but the teasing smile on her face did not diminish, Gu Yinshuang Tired of making trouble, he simply sat aside and deliberately ignored them.

It was unavoidable to have another commotion during dinner, there is a lot of distance between the men's table and the women's table, otherwise Gu Yinshuang would have fled back on the spot, and Sun Wenlu occasionally looked this way, Gu Yixin noticed it and said with a smile , "They seem to be very happy today, does my cousin know what happened in the garden today?"

Sun Wenlu didn't understand at first, but when he looked back and saw the teasing on his face, his face turned red again, "Brother Yixin, why are you making fun of me?"

"I didn't. It was Yinyue who came to tell me that the second sister accidentally caught you playing hide-and-seek today."

"Brother is still walking so fast that I can't even catch up." Sun Wenle protested on the sidelines. Sun Wenlu put chicken legs in his bowl and lightly reprimanded, "Eat yours."

It was an unintentional mention among a few young people, but the seeds fell in Sun Wenlu's heart, took root and sprouted, and the smile on his face was as beautiful as a budding flower, which shocked him in his 13-year-old life. Not a small disturbance, he pretended to turn his head inadvertently several times, thinking that no one had noticed, but Yin Huan had already noticed this scene.

Gu Yinshuang was talking with others with his face sideways, with a faint smile on his face all the time. Looking at it from Yin Huan's perspective, he was especially beautiful, while Sun Wenlu, who was sitting behind Yin Huan, at this emotionally ignorant age, was already very beautiful. With a touch...

Gu Miaoting waited for the seventh young master to go back after the full moon. She should have gone back after staying for ten or eight days, but the third old lady held her and insisted that she finish participating in the full moon wine for her second grandson. As soon as I participated, I enjoyed a farce.

Some people have long criticized the actions of the third old lady. On the day of the full moon, Fang's father brought her eldest brother and second brother to participate in the so-called full moon wine.

Fang's father is a big bastard, even more vulgar, before joining the army and fighting, the teenage Fang's father was actually a good little leader in a cottage. The court wiped out the village, and this group of gangsters left Let's go, let go, Fang's father resolutely followed the general who beat him to the ground and said that he would join the army with him. After joining the army, he was promoted to a command post at the age of 19 by relying on his fierceness that was not afraid of death in the past.

Later, he was injured and returned to the capital. He was named a military officer in the capital, and was chosen by the then great scholar, Mr. An. No one was chosen, so he married his precious daughter to this old man. It caused a sensation in Lin'an back then. Miss An's family in the city married Fang's father with a large dowry.

Facts have proved that Madam An's vision is very vicious. There is nothing to say about people who are accurate. If they want to have power, they will settle down. No matter how high the marriage is, it will only attract the attention of the emperor. The first thing a woman chooses a husband is that this husband can pamper you. In Fang's father's own words, my father-in-law knew that I would be a henpeck when he saw me back then, and he even praised me!

An's married into Fang's family, Fang's father didn't marry a concubine, he was a rough man, he didn't like this, and he felt guilty that a young lady married him, he was wronged, he loved her in every possible way, until the death of Bachelor An, the whole The An family felt that the master chose the right person.

So Fang's father wanted to imitate the father-in-law he admired the most, but unfortunately, he could find a fake boy who would give his precious girl a choice, but Fang's father still chose the wrong one. Parents are not in Lin'an City, and grandfather and grandmother passed away. How dare you tell others about this matter in the house. Fang, who is more temperamental, even refuses to tell his own mother. North, Fang's father still doesn't know how tricky the son-in-law he chose is.

At this moment, the full moon banquet has not yet started, and the third old lady is already sitting on the chair in anger. In the words of old lady Gu, the unreasonable is against the unreasonable, and it depends on who is more unreasonable.

"I, Fang Guohui, didn't marry our daughter into your Gu family to be wronged. Look at what you've been doing. Not to mention the aunts in the whole yard, the entire Gu mansion combined isn't as much as in your yard. It's all right now." , my aunt gave birth to a concubine, your mother is getting old and confused, I don't blame her, you Gu Yucheng is a dignified fourth-rank official, the official titled by the imperial court, the salary given to you by the imperial court, what have you done? , you tell Lan Xin where to put her face in the future, what will Lin'an City say about you in the future, a bastard's full moon wine is going to be so lively, in front of so many people, you tell me clearly today! Fang's father slammed the table, and the eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law behind him hurried forward to persuade him.

"And you, do you know that your mother was going to come over this time, and she was so mad at you. You don't have a son. If you have any grievances, just go home. If the house is too far away, go to your uncle's house. I don’t believe it anymore, and there is this concubine who loves this concubine to such an extent, a bastard who still makes such a big fuss, and I will pay for it in the future!” Fang’s father finished scolding Gu Yucheng who was kneeling on the ground, and then scolded Fang’s who was already crying.

Gu Yucheng was afraid of this father -in -law. He was afraid of being beaten by his father -in -law. The father -in -law hurts his mother -in -law and his wife is right, but he did not say that he had hurt his son -in -law. Yes, he has personally seen his father-in-law beat his son with that whip.

"You... you, you, you, you are here to make trouble today, right? I, the Gu family, can't help Lan Xin. You came here today and didn't give my son face in front of so many people. Isn't that also a fight? Your own face!" Yang clutched her chest and panted, she couldn't get in a sentence just now, she was almost recited because of that old foolishness, and finally regained her composure, her son even knelt down.

"I just slapped myself in the face today. I just misunderstood. The Gu family didn't feel sorry for Lan Xin. If our Fang family hadn't lived here, when my grandson was not born a few years ago, wouldn't you just want to give your son-in-law a baby?" Ping wife, and said that merchants have such an example, really laughed out loud, your son is an official of the court, after taking Ping wife, he will go to business for the rest of his life." Fang's father stared, his beard was about to fly When they got up, they all heard clearly outside the courtyard, Gu Yinfei hid in Yin Huan's arms in fear.

"Seventh Sister, Sixth Brother's grandfather is so scary." Yin Huan patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, and looked at Gu Yinshuang. Sure enough, Gu Yinshuang's face was pale and unbelievable at the moment, and she clenched her fists fiercely. Listening to the obvious separation of the boundaries between wives and concubines by the father, there is a huge gap between the concubine and the concubine. It seems that the father spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, and even holds a room full of concubines as treasures.

Mrs. Yang couldn't say no to Father Fang, so she could only look at Mrs. Fang with hatred. Mrs. Fang wiped away tears, knelt on the ground and begged, "Father, my daughter is unfilial. I am sorry for my mother. I will go back with you and ask my mother to forgive me."

As soon as Fang's words came out, Gu Yucheng panicked. He likes a concubine's house and he can't lose his wife. Having so many aunts shouldn't make you sad and let your father-in-law down."

At the critical moment, Gu Yucheng wanted to show that he was unwilling to go against his mother's wishes, and being an unfilial person, he could only be forced to accept the image of a concubine. Fang was crying in his arms, and the grievance in it was self-evident. Metaphor.

Seeing this, Fang's father also knew that he would accept it as soon as it was good. The Yang family's happy full moon banquet was ruined by the sudden arrival of Fang's father. Fang's father's domineering spirit was once again in the hearts of everyone in the Gu family. It left a deep impression.

Until such a long period of time a few years ago, people in the Gu family talked about it with great enthusiasm. They saw so many people that day, and the third lady invited many wives from Lin'an City. Version.

It was indeed rainy for several days in the third room of Gu's mansion, and even the lively atmosphere of the New Year's Eve could not make the old lady feel better. It is true that the son listened to his own words, but it is even more impossible for the son to abandon his future because of this. She is very clear about what shi stands behind, and it is because of this that she does some things when she thinks it is reasonable, but even so, Fang's father still made a fuss.

I can't rest, because it's not that I have nothing to do, and I have no faults, and I am not so jealous that I will not allow concubines or give birth to concubines. Yang can't make mistakes, and it is even more uncomfortable. Once depressed, Yang fell ill on the second day after Gu Yucheng came back.
