Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 61

The Gu mansion, which has gone through an accident, seems to be silent in the eyes of everyone. The mansion of Gu Guogong, who has made great military achievements in the past, is now empty.

Rumors abounded in Lin'an City, saying that the second master of the Gu family was greedy for the elder brother's property, and brought back his own concubine to the family and said that it was the elder brother's child, and Qingqiu, who was crying at the gate of Gu's mansion that day, has now disappeared. In everyone's eyes, the child was sent to the countryside to be raised by Mrs. Gu.

Half a month after the incident, the sixth prince was about to leave for Yangguan again. In the mansion of the sixth prince, the sixth prince handed a cloth bag brought back from Yangguan to his son, "Qian Ying, this is your cousin's gift." Mine, I'll give it to you now, you find someone to deliver this to Miss Gu Jiaqi."

Su Qianying looked at the brocade bundle, looked up at the Sixth Prince, and was a little puzzled, "Why did you ask Father to bring back what Qianmo gave Miss Gu Qi?"

"That brat said that he was worried about giving it to others, so he just let me take it. He also said that this thing should be sent to Young Master Gu first, and he will give it to Miss Gu Qi. I think the kid is going to love her. Don’t worry, you must pester me to bring it back.” The Sixth Prince originally didn’t agree with Su Qianmo’s actions, but compared with his own son, he had to admit that the son of the eighth son was better educated than himself, “If that kid Sincerely and sincerely, it is also right for Brother Yulang."

Looking at the package, Su Qianying suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. After waiting for the sixth prince to go out, he stood there for a long time, and accidentally opened it. There were two boxes inside, and Su Qianying opened it for a while. Look, one box contains a pair of bone chopsticks, and the other contains Yangguan's unique jewelry accessories.

Looking at the words engraved on the end of the chopsticks, Su Qianying felt more and more uncomfortable. He closed the box with a snap, and the butler behind him asked for instructions, "My lord, leave these to the younger one, and the younger one will be sent to the Gu family." Just go."

Su Qianying shook his head, "No need, just put it here, I'll take it with me another day."...

The day after the three-month period had no intention of cooling down at all, the sun was still shining brightly, and it was extremely hot. In the Bauhinia Courtyard, Yin Huan was looking at the post, and the summer resort tour finally came.

Qing Ya at the door knocked twice and walked in, holding a wooden box in her arms. Yin Huan put the post and opened the box. There were several bottles of medicine inside. Yin Huan took out each bottle to look at it, and asked her , "Is the car ready?"

"Miss, Miss [-] and Miss [-] are going in the same car." Qing Ya carefully put the two bottles of medicine into her arms, thought for a while, and put away the third bottle, Yin Huan sighed slightly, the title was taken away After taking it back, the Gu family has declined a lot. Although Gu Guogong is an empty title, he still gets a lot of salary rewards every year. She heard from her mother yesterday that the government's expenditure will be further reduced.

"Get everything ready. If you want to spend the night there, I'll go to my mother and tell me first." Yin Huan got up and went to the Mu family's house. After agreeing to Mrs. Gu, the third sister also began to learn housekeeping from her mother. I simply gave some small things to them, and I was more relaxed.

"It's also a good thing that Miss Jiang's family didn't forget you, so bring this with you." Mrs. Mu asked Siqi to bring out the gift box, and asked Yin Huan to take it to Jiang Ruyin. It is too rare to talk about friends with you among big families.

Yin Huan listened to Mu's talk about these human affairs, and nodded half-understood, and Mu stroked her hair, "This Jiang family can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, and the previous generations of the Jiang family also had The concubine of the palace is very favored by Concubine Shu, but Miss Jiang is not a delicate person. She is a few years older than you and has never been married. I think the Jiang family is also planning to let her choose Concubine's."

Yin Huan was surprised that her mother had already seen it through, and that Jiang Ruyin was indeed a concubine in the end, more favored than her aunt.

"Because of this, you should give this gift well, not neglecting her, and it can also show that our Gu family is not as crumbling as the outside world said. The Gu family is just cultivating health and character. Your elder brother is also promising. I think your elder brother That unmarried wife will also be a capable person." Mrs. Mu said unhurriedly, this just happened a few days ago.

The Meng Gong family who were engaged to the Gu family at the beginning, heard that the title of the Gu family was taken away, and Mrs. Meng planned to regret the marriage. Once the title was taken away, the disparity between the Gu family and the Meng family would widen. The man's imperial order is still there, and there is still the second old lady who is a second-rank official, but no matter how you look at it, this family status seems to be low.

Mrs. Meng's idea has not been put into practice yet, so Ms. Meng directly expressed her determination to the Meng family. The marriage has been decided, and she should not regret the marriage just because of her downfall. She even came to the Gu family to visit her in person. Mrs. Gu, everyone said that Ms. Meng is courageous. Even if Mrs. Meng wants to regret the marriage, she has to weigh her daughter's reputation. If she goes in and out of Gu's house like this, the Gu family doesn't want it, who else would want it.

This incident made Yin Huan's impression of this unmarried sister-in-law better. Although the second uncle is unreliable and only messes around all day long, if the eldest brother and sister-in-law can work together, the Gu family may not go on like this.

"Mother, why did you forgive Second Uncle so easily?" After a while, Yin Huan asked a question that he had been wondering for a long time, and Mrs. Mu smiled calmly, "How can you say forgiveness, and be true to foolish people? It's not about humiliating yourself."

Yin Huan understood at a glance, Mrs. Mu handed the box to Siqi, and urged her, "It's time for Yinyue to come and remind her later, let's go."

As expected, Mu's guess was right, Yin Huan had just returned to her room, and the maid sent by Gu Yinyue had been waiting for a while, Yin Huan looked at the hourglass on the cabinet, the hour hadn't come yet, three How come my sister is in such a hurry.

Qing Ya smiled and got everything ready, "Miss San has worked harder these days." Yin Huan pursed her lips. Once the second uncle's matter was over, Gu Yinyue seemed to have grown up overnight. She didn't fight against Mrs. Gu's arranged marriage, and she worked hard to learn how to be a housekeeper from her mother, even changing her usual temperament of not caring about anything.

"Let's go when you're ready. She'll read it again after waiting for a long time." Yin Huan led Er Dong to the gate, Qing Ya handed everything to Er Dong and ordered things to pay attention to, Gu Yin Huan He opened the curtains of the carriage and looked at her and urged, "Get in the carriage soon."

"Third Sister, it's still early, what are you in such a hurry for?" Er Dong and the others got into the carriage behind, Yin Huan sat on the mat, and there was an ice basin in the carriage, revealing a refreshing coolness.

"We can't make others wait too long. There are a lot of people going, so we can't be the last ones."

"I think Sanmei, you worry too much. Even if we arrive early, it won't make others think how good our Gu family is." Gu Yinshuang said, holding a handkerchief in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth .

The expression on Gu Yinyue's face froze, and then faded, "Others may not think that our Gu family is so good, but at least they will not think that the Gu family is like this. .”

Yin Huan looked at her with a somewhat lonely expression. The second uncle's incident hit her much harder than when Peng Maolin was engaged. There were so many people in Gu's mansion that they couldn't control their mouths, and some words would still reach her ears. Gu's mansion today The knighthood will be revoked because her father is restless.

No matter how delicate she is usually, Gu Yinyue is still proud of the Gu family in her bones. Now that she is like this, she feels very uncomfortable in her heart, and she wants to maintain the reputation of the Gu family and not be criticized again.

"Third Sister is very thoughtful." Yin Huan opened the curtains and looked outside, then changed the subject, "We're almost at the pier in this meeting."

The Summer Resort is on the outskirts of Lin'an City, and it needs to be ferried across the river. After the carriage arrived, the Jiang family's carriage arrived not long ago. The driver found a shady place to put the carriage away. Yin Huan and the others boarded the boat early and waited for everyone to set off. .

From far away from the pier, you can see a group of buildings on the opposite bank. It is said that the summer resort is actually composed of a dozen large and small villas. Yin Huan sat in the cabin and looked at the familiar manor, feeling a sense of The feeling of blood boiling, I turned my head to look at Gu Yinshuang who was sitting not far away by the edge of the boat, her second sister, the wish you wanted to achieve in the previous life, she will definitely help her fulfill it in this life...

When we arrived at the villa, it was just about time for lunch. The tables had already been set up in the hall of the villa, and the male and female tables were separated by a screen. Jiang Ruyin ordered the people in the villa to serve the dishes, and said to them, "There is a hot spring pool in the villa. This time, I will leave it to us alone, and I will send someone to tell your servant girls about the rest rooms, and after eating, the sisters will go to bed first, and I will call everyone in the afternoon."

Yin Huan ate quietly, and received their probing gazes from time to time, and when they raised their heads, they lowered their heads to look after themselves and ate. How many versions were there, and why did she feel that there was pity in their eyes.

After lunch, I went back to the attic. The three sisters of the Gu family lived in three rooms side by side on the second floor. When they entered the room, the ice basins that had been placed earlier dispelled the sweltering heat. There are many trees in this villa, and there are also many trees on the peninsula. The wind is cool. Compared with Lin'an City, it is much cooler here.

After all, he was not used to sleeping in an unfamiliar bed. Yin Huan tossed and turned and did not fall asleep. He only felt a gentle breeze blowing, and the curtains above his head fluttered gently. After a while, he closed his eyes in a daze, and woke up again. It was already afternoon when we came.

Seeing that she was awake, Er Dong at the side fetched water to cleanse her face, Yin Huan was a little dizzy from sleep, sat on the edge of the bed for a long time without recovering, her throat was extremely dry.

That gust of wind was familiar, Yin Huan looked at the floating tree shadow outside the window, as if she saw the year in her previous life, she was also in this villa, and also in this attic, but the room was not this one, now she wants to This nightmare ends here.

After a while, Jiang Ruyin's personal servants knocked on the doors one by one, saying that the lady in the front pavilion had put out summer desserts, and asked all the ladies to go down and taste them.

Ms. Jiang, who is so thoughtful, has laid a solid foundation among the young ladies of her age. In the future, when a group of young ladies who are either rich or expensive get married, it will be a great help to her .

This is also the reason why many young wives in the previous life thought Concubine Ru was good.

When he arrived at the pavilion, Yin Huan was also very curious when he looked at the small tables set up. The plates of delicate desserts were made by the cook on the spot. There was a large piece of ice beside the cook, and the plates The fine and dense sorbet is shaved from the top, added with various jams, or made with milk.
