Chapter 528 (1/2)
On the outskirts of the capital, Gu's Grange has ushered in the housekeeper Gu Quan.
The head of the Grange respectfully welcomed Gu Quan into the gate.
He is busy with his work and has no time to deal with the flattery of Zhuangtou.
He asked, ”where are the third aunt?”
”The man is in the backyard.” Zhuangtou said honestly.
”Take care of the whole face seriously,” lead the way
Zhuangtou did not dare to neglect, and bowed to lead the way ahead.
Gu Yue, the third aunt of Gu family, was detained in the Grange for nearly two years.
She was thinner and older.
I wear the style that was popular in Beijing two years ago, and the hair style was also popular two years ago.
Gu Yue's time seemed to stay two years ago.
Two years of grange life, sharpened her sharpness.
She began to be silent and always liked to look at people with a pair of gloomy eyes.
In the middle of summer, the house is hot and there is no ice basin.
She sat under the eaves and let her servant girl fan with a fan, while she did needlework by herself.
Gu Quan was surprised to see this scene.
In my memory, Gu Yue seldom does needlework.
She was impatient and could not sit still.
Needlework is not suitable for her. Xie never forced her.
I didn't expect that after living in Chuang Tzu for two years, he developed patience.
”Hello, third aunt!” Gu Quan made a courtesy.
Gu Yue lightly swept him one eye, ”Gu housekeeper rare guest, sit down.”
Her expression is light, no anger, no surprise, even did not ask why the sudden arrival of care.
It's like a neighbor passing by, asking for a seat.
Gu Quan was not polite and sat down on the bamboo chair.
The sweet scented osmanthus trees in the courtyard swayed with the wind, bringing a trace of coolness.
”Don't the third aunt ask why the little one came?”
Gu Yue looked calm and said, ”you can't take off your father's command. Is it not that my father sent you this time to give me a cup of poisonous wine to kill me
Her tone is clear and light, the words that she says, but as always, do not like to hear.
Gu Quan thought, before everything is really false, Gu Yue or that Gu Yue. One mouth can choke.
”The third aunt misunderstood me.”
Gu Yue smiles, which is the first time she smiles today.
”Tell me, I'll listen.”
Gu Quan considered his words and said, ”I'm going to take my third aunt back to my house.”
Gu Yue was surprised and didn't do needlework.
Her expression was obviously stunned at first, then she began to smile again, with a light smile and a trace of irony.
She said, ”the master will not take me back for no reason. Come on, what's the reason? It can't be my wife. ”
”Don't worry, grandma. Everything is fine.”
Gu Yue stares at him, waiting for his following.
Gu Quan is a little embarrassed. If he doesn't tell the truth, Gu Yue won't leave with him.
He gritted his teeth and said, ”the master has found a marriage for the third aunt. I'm going to take my third aunt back to see each other. ”
Gu Yue smell speech, sneer, ”the master has not yet filial piety, so anxious to marry me out, he really can't tolerate me.”
”The third aunt misunderstood me. The master is for your sake. For the rest of her life, she has to rely on her
Gu Yue raised his eyebrows and laughed, ”I have a brother. When I am old, I will rely on my brother to provide for the aged. Can't I?”
”Not so good after all.”
”Nothing bad. You can go back and tell the master that I'm very good here. I don't need to worry about it. If that marriage has not happened, you can refuse it directly. ”
Gu Yue buried his head and continued to do needlework.
The servant girl grape plays the fan, maintains a fixed frequency all the time, did not give to take care of a right eye.
Gu Quan was a little worried, ”the third aunt doesn't ask who the man is, what conditions are there?”
Gu Yue sneered, ”I am a third marriage, what good marriage can I have. He was only a middle-aged widower and married to be his stepmother. My aunt is not interested in that
Gu Quan frowned, ”this is the master's arrangement. The third aunt or grandma should pack up quickly and go back with me.”
Gu Yue put down his needlework and said, ”take care of everything, what was my identity before?”
Gu Quan was stunned.
Gu Yue didn't wait for him to answer. He said directly, ”I used to be Liang Di, the prince of Chu's residence. Although I was a concubine, I was also on the Royal Jade Butterfly. I was a person of honor. He also gave birth to a child for the king of Chu.
I've enjoyed rich clothes and rich dowry. Now I'm asked to marry a middle-aged widower to be a stepmother. Does he deserve it?
How big the other side's face, dare to marry Liang Di of the former Chu palace. I'm not afraid to stab him to death. You know, I can do it.
Tell the master what I said. If the master doesn't want to be enmity with others, don't worry about my marriage. Don't send me out by anyoneAfter hearing the speech, his face turned white.
Gu Yue snorted coldly and continued to do her needlework. It was not the first time for her to kill people.
Men seem powerful.
But it's easy to kill a man as long as you plan well.
To ask her to marry a stepmother, Mr. Gu made a good idea, but she was not willing to comply.
They said that the first marriage should be from the father, and the second from himself.
She didn't want to marry, and Mr. Gu had no way to take her.
Gu Quan asked: ”the third aunt is not curious at all? I really want to stay in Zhuangzi all my life and live a miserable life. ”
Gu Yue laughed, ”last year I asked six elder brothers to take my dowry and set up a small grange and two shops for me. It is said that the business of the shop is OK. This year, it should be able to earn about 1000 Liang. I live in a grange, where I spend less money. I can also save some money after a year, which is enough for the elderly. Housekeeper Gu, don't worry about me. I can't die. ”
I don't know how to answer the question.
”The third aunt should think about it again.”
Gu Yue shook his head, ”there is nothing to consider. I'm not interested in being stepmother
”The days of the Grange are poor.”
”Used to it. Housekeeper Gu, do you think my needlework is good? ”
Gu Quan was stunned and hesitated: ”it's OK.”
Gu Yue laughed at him, ”housekeeper Gu has never seen my previous needlework. If you have, you won't say it's OK. ”
Take care of all the embarrassment and smile.
Gu Yue waved his hand, ”you go, I won't leave you. Grapes, send me the housekeeper
The servant girl grape put away the fan and bowed slightly, ”housekeeper, please!”
I can't help but get up and leave.
He was still a little unwilling. He went to the gate of the grange and looked back at the maid grape, ”what does your aunt think? Is she really going to live at the Grange all her life? ”
”What my aunt said before is her real thoughts. Although life is poor now, there are few disputes. There's nothing wrong with living in peace. ”
”She is so young that she can stand it?”
Servant girl grape bows a head to smile, ”very good, endure.”
I don't believe it.
It is said that rivers and mountains are easy to change, but their natures are hard to change. How can Gu Yue, a man who is competitive and aggressive, bear the hardship of life in a grange.
If Gu Yue didn't talk as usual with a knife, Gu Quan would even doubt whether Gu Yue was stunned by the devil and changed his heart.
Gu Quan shakes his head and can only go back to the mansion first. Please ask Mr. Gu.
The servant girl grape watched the housekeeper leave, and then returned to the backyard as a servant.
Gu Yue has put away his needlework and drank watermelon from well water.
She asked the grape, ”have you seen him off?”
The grape nodded. ”Gone.”
Without Gu Yue's command, she picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it.
Gu Yue looks light, also does not say her.
”Still in filial piety period, he was anxious to marry me out. Was it possible that he had no money and wanted to take the opportunity to receive a bride price.”
Grape finished a watermelon, took out a handkerchief to wipe his fingers, ”Auntie really don't marry?”
”What kind of marriage? I want to get married because I'm in my head. What's wrong now? Are you not satisfied? ” Gu Yue's eyes are not good at the grapes.
Grape shook his head, ”maid is a pity for my aunt.”
Gu Yue sneered, ”don't talk nonsense. Pack up and we'll go out in the afternoon. ”
Two years later, under the attack of money, all the people in the Grange were bribed by Gu Yue.
Those women who guarded Gu Yue became Gu Yue's pawns.
Now she can go in and out of the Grange at will, and occasionally visit the capital.
She has a dowry and she has income every year.
