Chapter 9 Yun 嫆
“…” Xu Mammy flicked her sleeves fiercely, she really couldn’t stay in this ghost place for a moment.
She turned around when she heard Gu Yanfei say slowly behind her back, “By the way, mammy remember to leave the monthly money before leaving.”
Grandma Xu’s body stopped, turned back, met Gu Yanfei’s eyes, and said yin and yang, “Didn’t the second girl refuse to go back to the Hou residence? I thought you wanted to distance yourself from the Hou residence!”
A country girl is a country girl, she just gets into the eyes of money, and she doesn’t even think about the money of the Hou Mansion!
Gu Yanfei took off a gold-encrusted jade bracelet with a swallow pattern from his wrist, stuffed it into Juan Bi, and instructed: “Take it as a pawn.”
Mother Xu of course knew this bracelet. All the jewelry of the second girl was prepared by the lady, and each piece was engraved with the mark of the Dingyuan Houfu.
The pair of pawned earrings haven’t been redeemed yet. If this bracelet is taken out as a pawn, wouldn’t it confirm the rumor of the fall of the Hou Mansion? !
Mammy Xu gritted her back molars unwillingly: “I’ll let someone go and get the monthly money.”
“Juan Bi, you accompany Xu Mammy for a trip and take all my monthly money for the past three months.” Gu Yanfei told Juan Bi with a smile.
Mammy Xu’s face was ashen and blue veins appeared on her neck.
She thought that a month’s monthly payment would be enough, but she didn’t expect this country girl to be so greedy, she asked for three months as soon as she opened her mouth.
The money should have belonged to her!
Mother Xu’s heart was bleeding, she felt as if a piece of her heart had been gouged out, and she left in a state of dismay.
She must return to Beijing as soon as possible to report to Mrs. Tai, otherwise, if something goes wrong in this marriage between the Gu and Fang families, she will be finished!
Half an hour later, Xu Mama’s carriage left Danyang City, rushing all the way, day and night.
As soon as she returned to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in the capital, she didn’t care about washing up. The first thing she did was to rush to the Cihetang and cry aggrievedly:
“Mrs. Tai, although the servant did not dare to say that she was exhausted during this period of time, she did her best to teach the second girl, but the second girl misunderstood the servant, thinking that the servant was deliberately embarrassing her!”
“…”
“The second girl has grown up outside since she was a child, and she is used to the old days. She always likes to run out of the house instead of staying at home. There was an accident in the carriage that day, and the slave girl persuaded her a few words, and the second girl moved her hand to the slave girl…”
“This is how the front tooth of slave maid was knocked out.”
Mother Xu vividly described Gu Yanfei as a vulgar, ignorant and uneducated wild girl.
In the corner of Dongjima is a cloisonné enamel incense burner, quietly spitting out a curling cigarette.
A graceful old woman in her fifties sat on a red sandalwood swastika-patterned Arhat bed, wearing a robe of ten kinds of brocade and purple brocade makeup, with a string of Buddha beads in her hand, her eyes swept over Xu Mama. The black holes on the front teeth showed no expression of joy or anger.
An old woman with silver hair beside her softly persuaded: “Mrs. Tai calm down, the second girl is still young.”
“You’re still young? It’s almost time.” Mrs. Gu Tai sighed in a low voice, “It’s a sin.”
“…” The old lady was silent for a while.
This incident is a scandal in Houfu.
Dingyuan Hou’s mansion has been in the military for generations, and the first marquis Gu Ce is the eldest son of Mrs.
In the sixth year of Xuanren, Gu Ce and his wife Xie Shi guarded Sishui County in Yangzhou.
Nanyue got the news out of nowhere, and sent people to pursue the Xie family, trying to use the Xie family to coerce Gu Ce into surrender.
Xie was frightened and gave birth prematurely on the road. After giving birth to a baby girl, she died. The nursing mother Su Niang fled with the baby girl all the way, and it took several months to escape back to the capital.
No one thought that Su Niang would secretly pretend to be her own daughter as the daughter of the Gu family, and exchange the fake for the real. This concealment lasted for fourteen years.
It wasn’t until half a year ago that Su Niang’s gambler husband came to the door and blackmailed Su Niang secretly, but was discovered by Mrs. Gu Tai, and the truth of the true and false daughter was revealed.
“Madam Tai,” Madam Xu pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, while she glanced at Madam Gu Tai from the corner of her eyes, and muttered uneasily, “There is one more thing, it is about Fang Shizi. …”
“Ming Feng?” Mrs. Gu Tai stopped twisting the beads, frowning slightly.
“It’s the Prince of England.” Madam Xu swallowed her saliva, and then released the heavy hammer at the right time, “The second girl ran into Prince Fang by chance in Danyang City, she…she went to tell Prince Fang secretly that the two families The marriage is over!”
“Second girl also said that she won’t go back to Beijing, unless… unless you go to Danyang City to pick her up in person.”
Mother Xu avoided the weight and pushed all the faults to Gu Yanfei, her head dropped, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightly clenched.
“Snapped!”
Mrs. Gu Tai slapped her palm heavily on the coffee table, pursed her lips tightly, and was shrouded in a thick cloud of clouds.
Mrs. Gu Tai can’t say she likes or hates this second granddaughter she has never met.
For her, Gu Yunchang is the granddaughter she brought up with her own hands, the granddaughter she is proud of.
Gu Yunxiang is good in everything, from appearance, temperament to talent, all of which are top-notch, praised by everyone in the capital, and won the green eye of King Kang.
King Kang is the parent and son of the current queen mother. After Jinshang ascends the throne, he will be awarded the title of prince. If Gu Yunmao could become Princess Kang, it would be the icing on the cake for them in the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.
However, the Gu family and the Fang family had a long-term engagement, and when the old marquis was alive, the eldest daughter of the eldest house was given to Fang Mingfeng, the prince of the United Kingdom.
Once he resigned from his relatives, the Gu family would inevitably be said to be perfidious and clinging to the powerful.
Mrs. Gu Tai thought about it and decided to find the “real” eldest daughter of the eldest house.
In this way, not only can the marriage of Gu and Fang be fulfilled, but also the reputation of the Gu family and Gu Yunxiang will not be affected.
Mrs. Gu Tai has pondered over the pros and cons, and she has made psychological preparations. This second granddaughter grew up in the countryside since she was a child. She has not been carefully trained for half a year and a year.
It’s just vulgar and stupid, the problem is that this girl doesn’t know herself yet, and if she dares to go to the other party and make a big speech, she will lose the face of the Gu family!
Mrs. Gu Tai lifted her eyelids and said slowly: “I asked you to take good care of the second girl, that’s how you do things?!”
Her voice was so cold that ice **** was about to fall.
Mother Xu cursed Gu Yanfei thousands of times in her heart, and quickly knelt down, admitting her mistake, “I’m ashamed, I really can’t do anything about the second girl.”
After the words were finished, there was a repressed silence in the Tojima, and the air was stagnant.
The maids serving next to them all bowed their heads in silence.
At this moment, the crisp voice of the little maid came from outside the door curtain, breaking the silence: “Second… Third girl!”
The air in the room suddenly loosened.
The next moment, the door curtain was opened from the outside, and a beautiful, slender and slender girl walked in from the main room outside carrying tea.
The soft lines outline a clear oval face, with fair complexion like jade, willow eyebrows and pink lips, and eyes like bright stars. When smiling, a pair of lovely dimples appear on both sides of the cheeks. The temperament is smart and amiable, which makes people feel at ease at first sight. Feel good.
The girl wears a double flat bun, a pair of ruby gold silk butterfly beads on her head, and a bright red dress with embroidered begonia flowers. When walking, she is graceful and slender, and her steps are light and elegant.
Her arrival was like a ray of warm spring breeze blowing into the house that was originally cold as a cold wind.
