Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 50

So when he entered the palace for the last time years ago, the Mu family received many condolences from the empress and empress. Originally, the emperor wanted to not give that girl a marriage, but when he thought of the tricks of the sixth younger siblings, giving a marriage was a big deal. It's a tricky matter, but it's not his face that will be ruined at that time, it's the empress who is good at comforting, so that the Mu family will bring more Yin Huan to the palace in the future, I heard that he is a smart child.

Once this year passed, the atmosphere of the entire Gu family seemed a little delicate. Yin Huan rarely left the Bauhinia Courtyard, and at the beginning of the year, he went to Hui'an City with the Mu family. When he came back, he was already fourteen. Noticing that her complexion was not very good, and she didn't see the second wife, she went back to her own room and asked Xi Nuan who stayed behind to find out that the news from the Peng family at the beginning of the year was that they were going to talk to the eldest son of the Peng family.

"You mean, it was Mrs. Peng who sent someone to the Gu family to ask if the old lady had a suitable woman from a family." Yin Huan was surprised by Mrs. Peng's decisiveness, and didn't take Mrs. Peng's original thoughts into consideration at all.

"That's right. Mrs. Peng also asked the third young lady and the eldest young master, and said that Young Master Peng is familiar with them, and he belongs to his cousin, so he must know some preferences."

No wonder during the Chinese New Year period, she only saw Gu Yinyue once, and her complexion was not very good. Mrs. Peng's move directly cut off her thoughts, and she wanted to find a suitable woman for Peng Maolin, wouldn't it make things worse.

"Has Mrs. Peng been here?"

"Old Madam Peng fell ill, so Madam Peng came here this year." The corners of Yin Huan's mouth curled up, knowing that he had endured long enough. Mr. Peng had a son in total, and Madam Peng chose this daughter-in-law herself. Yes, I intended to choose someone who can speak well and manage the Peng family well, but now that it's time to choose the daughter-in-law, Mrs. Peng still has no intention of letting it go.

The fact that he didn't tell the Gu family earlier was because of what the Sixth Prince said to the Gu family. Now that the son's wedding date has been fixed, Mrs. Peng has nothing to worry about. The son's lifelong event is more important than the mother-in-law's kiss.

From Mrs. Peng sending Peng Chuqiu to the palace, it can be seen that the Peng family attaches great importance to the next generation. Peng Maolin's wife must also be of a comparable family background.

The Gu family has lost this opportunity to compete since the death of the Gu's eldest son...

In Mrs. Gu's courtyard, Gu Yuzhi knelt in front of Mrs. Gu, with a sad expression, as if he had been greatly wronged, "Mother, look at Yinyue's marriage, it was delayed like this, it's your granddaughter, isn't it? It's not as good as my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Gu took his hand, with tears in her eyes, "What does Yinyue's marriage have to do with your sister-in-law? Uji, mother knows that you feel uncomfortable, but there are some things that we can't do."

"I knew that mother only loves elder brother alone." Gu Yuzhi wiped away his tears, and looked at Mrs. Gu bitterly, "If elder brother hadn't left, the title of the Gu family would not have fallen on my head, and now the title is given to me. I, sister-in-law, are still in charge of the Gu family, so why do the Peng family look down on Yinyue? It's because Ah Hui and I didn't live up to her!"

"Nonsense, what does this have to do with your sister-in-law taking care of the Gu family? Although your aunt can make the decision in the Peng family, such a big matter has been carefully considered. Don't tell me you just hold on to the Peng family and don't let go. There are so many good families in Lin'an City , Yue'er will not get married!" Mrs. Gu slapped the table angrily, "It's fine if Ah Hui doesn't know, don't you know?"

"It doesn't matter, mother, I am Gu Guogong when the Gu family is away, and Ah Hui is Gu Guogong's wife, but this housekeeper is indeed a sister-in-law. What others think, what the Peng family will think. The Gu family is not in charge of us, but sister-in-law. In this way Whether it is Yixin marrying a wife or Yinyue marrying a man, we are not the ones who decide, and Yinyue will not fall into Mrs. Peng's eyes." Gu Yuzhi said plausibly, Mrs. Gu sighed, and stayed in the backyard all day long In the matter, the plan is for the Gu family to have such a small amount of property. Could it be that the Gu family is really going to be over when the eldest son dies?

"Your sister-in-law is not good at housekeeping. You have been holding on to her all these years, and she is also saying that she has no children. Now that your elder brother has gone, she should be a widow. Don't you know how much your daughter-in-law is? Yuzhi, why are you so confused." Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Yuzhi, leaned on her crutch tremblingly, and Xi Ma behind her hurriedly supported her.

"Also, Yue'er is already uncomfortable enough, you two, stop talking about her in front of her, why don't you let her go and make a fool of others!" Mrs. Gu said without turning her head. Entering the inner room, Gu Yuzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, had a flash of hostility in his eyes, why should someone who is not from the Gu family be in charge...

In Gu Yinyue's small courtyard, the second wife Yan looked at her daughter's unhappy appearance, and felt very distressed. For Gu Yinyue, since she could remember, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Peng often talked about her relationship with her cousin. Brother's joke, such words have been said too much, a deep obsession has long been buried in her young heart, and as she grows up, Peng Maolin's graceful appearance of the tree and the wind fascinated others and also fascinated her.

She didn't know when she started, but she thought that one day Mrs. Peng would fulfill her promise, and she would be able to marry her cousin in a bright red wedding dress, so that her cousin would only belong to her.

A year or two passed, and she had reached the age where she could talk about getting married, but there was still no movement in the Peng family. The cousin was still the same, gentle and gentle to herself, and the aunt was also very affectionate, but the Peng family never showed respect for it in terms of etiquette. take a stand.

Mom and Dad started to get anxious, until the end of last year when the incident of my cousin's verse came out, the attitude of the Peng family changed a lot. It wasn't Mrs. Peng who came here during the Chinese New Year, but she hadn't been here several times over the years. Mrs. Peng, and the first thing Mrs. Peng said when she saw her was to ask her cousin what kind of woman she likes. Cousin is not too young now, so she should tell him about a marriage, and asked her mother in a circumstantial way, Is her marriage settled? If not, she has a few good and promising young people.

The Gu family is not stupid either. After Mrs. Gu knew what Mrs. Peng said, the Gu Peng family had talked about their marriage for more than ten years. This is the only thing that is said to be sick at home and did not come.

Gu Yinyue didn't understand a lot, and she was also unwilling, but she couldn't let go of the girl's reservedness, so she ran to ask her cousin why, and now she was a little impatient listening to her mother's constant words.

"Mother, what does this have to do with Seventh Sister? What are you talking about?" Gu Yinyue came back from her thoughts and interrupted Yan Shi impatiently. Yan Shi was startled, and then said, " Why doesn't it matter, isn't your seventh sister the Sixth Prince who made a verbal agreement at the beginning, and now the prince has already engaged, isn't this just making our Gu family unlucky."

"That's because the Sixth Prince and the others are not honest. Besides, the matter between us and the Peng family is just a verbal joke between grandma and aunt." Gu Yinyue has her pride and persistence. Show regret and sadness in front of others.

"Why are you kidding? Mrs. Peng has been talking about it since you were just born, so she almost didn't settle it for you." Yan Shi disagreed. This marriage is a certainty. It's just open to the public, how can it be considered a joke.

"Mother, I'm tired. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back first." Gu Yinyue's face became serious, even if it has been mentioned for more than ten years.

Yan Shi looked at her, hesitated to speak, and finally told her to have a good rest, and left the house.

Listening to the movement outside, Gu Yinyue's fixed expression loosened a bit, she held the handkerchief tightly with one hand, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and tears fell silently.

The maid at the side panicked, but didn't know how to comfort her. Gu Yinyue stared at the potted plants on the table in a daze, when a maid's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Miss, someone sent a post."

Gu Yinyue wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, coughed lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Bring water and let her wait outside."

After Gu Yinyue came out, she looked at the pink and white post in the maid's hand, and frowned slightly. Now it's just the beginning of spring, the weather has not yet warmed up, and the snow has just melted. Why did Miss Jiang send the post over again.

"Miss, I invite you to visit the river. I heard that at this time of year, the snow on the cliffs on both sides of the river has not yet melted, and the scenery is very beautiful." Gu Yinyue flipped through the post, and the plum blossoms depicted outside were indeed very beautiful. Exquisite, the lady of Grand Duke Jiang's family will really enjoy it.

"Who is this post for besides you?" Gu Yinyue threw the post on the table, her eyes faintly unable to see the excitement just now.

"Second Miss and Seventh Miss both received it, and this time Fifth Miss seems to have it too." The maid thought for a while and said.

There were four young ladies who invited the Gu family, but they were just going on a river cruise. The Jiang family was going to prepare a big cruise ship. Gu Yinyue glanced at the post, and it was just at the end of the month...

Also in the Zhuqing Courtyard, Gu Yinshuang looked at the beautiful post, but her expression was not very good. She took Gu Yinfang out last time, but this time the post was for Fifth Sister. Miss Jiang met Fifth Sister face to face?

"Second Miss, are you still going this time?" The maid behind her looked a little scared when she saw her like this, Gu Yinshuang smiled and covered the look in her eyes, "Third Sister and Seventh Sister are both going. , of course I will go."

"But the peach blossoms are about to bloom, don't you be afraid..." The servant girl behind her reminded in a low voice, at this time of the year, the second young lady should try to avoid going out as much as possible to avoid this period of time.

Gu Yinshuang glanced at her, and the maid stopped talking and looked away. She looked at the green color in the yard outside the window, and said in an indifferent voice, "Go and invite Miss Six to come here."...
