Chapter 32: Xu's old story
Such a shameful and conspicuous thing happened, which was a matter of morality. Nothing could be made up for. It would be difficult to get married again. Gu Ruoyi was anxious, and Fu Zhirong became even more anxious.
Originally, I wanted to marry into the Yi family, but now I think it's not a question. As the prince of the Duke's Mansion, Yi Jingxiao might marry a girl born to a businessman? Maybe she might marry a woman with a bad reputation and a loss of virtue? Needless to say, Yi Jingxiao, even Gong Jingde's first obstacle is the first to be able to pass.
Yi Jingxiao is like a living sign in the capital. Where does the girl who wants to marry him have the turn of Gu Ruoyi?
Recently, in order to kiss her daughter, Fu Zhirong has been so tired that she has said that she has been so tired.
"Otherwise, marry her to the Lu family and tell the outside that the two of them had already been married, and no one knew that the one who had been engaged to marry was Xiang Jie'er." Gu Hengjun said helplessly.
It is really a shame to be a clever person with the sixth-rank literary official to compete with his relatives! But he still has to eat this, not only to eat it, but also to eat it happily.
When Fu Zhirong heard this, she immediately exploded the temple and shouted: "What are you saying? Ruoer is the legitimate daughter of a family. She married into a place with a grass nest in the Lu family and suffered. You, a father, can say this!"
"I don't want to do it either! But Ruoer's scandal is known all over the city. If this is the case, the whole family will be embarrassed. Do you think she can marry into a good family?" Gu Hengjun glanced at her: "Now at this time, it's all different to say whether the Lu family is willing to ask her. You are still here."
"Impossible. If Ruo'er is really married to the Gu family, unless I die!" Fu Zhirong was so angry that she almost started fighting with Gu Hengjun: "The Lu family dared to marry the daughter of the Bo family, why aren't they so beautiful? They think beautifully!"
Gu Hengjun snorted coldly: "Why? When he was planning to plot against Sister Xiang, he found such a family with joy. Now it's his turn, and he is reluctant. What you mother did is ridiculous."
After saying this, Fu Zhirong's face turned red and shouted at the top of her voice: "That's different! How can that little bitch compare with me Ruoer? She is not the flesh and blood of the Gu family, but the seed of Song's confusion with others outside. You are even a treasure, but the Lu family's marriage is all cheap for her!"
"Whatever you say." Gu Hengjun was also angry. Naturally, he didn't want to marry his daughter to Lu Mingsheng, but his reputation was ruined. He would never succeed if he wanted to marry a high school. He could only find a way to minimize the losses.
"Why don't you think about Ruoer if you are a father? The wife outside dislikes me as a merchant. If you went out to do some business, Ruoer might have been married long ago!"
Let an old man tell his daughter about his marriage? Then Gu Hengjun's old face was really embarrassing to his grandma's house. He waved his hand suddenly and said, "Either marry into the Lu family, or you just tell her to kiss her yourself. If you have the ability, I don't care if you marry her to the King of Heaven."
The two ended up in a quarrel. Gu Hengjun left Lai Xiangyuan angrily, while Fu Zhirong was worried about her daughter's marriage.
This is not the case where I shot myself in the foot. It was obvious that I had smashed all my feet with the stone!
There are some suitable young masters and sons, but they either have a family of Qingliu and are disdainful to marry the legitimate daughter of the Bo family, or they have noble births and think of the prince, how could they marry Gu Ruoyi? Or they are like Lu Mingsheng, who has a low official position and will not have a career.
Among these people, I can’t find Fu Zhirong’s wishes even if I pick them.
While waiting for the opportunity to defeat Meng Fanlin with one blow, Gu Xiangyi started to do other things again.
The truth about Song Rongyan's death.
According to Polite and Gu Fei and Xiao Jingyao, Song Rongyan is a very kind person. It is not difficult to see through her saving Polite and Xiao Jingyao that he is a master-servant relationship with Gu Fei but is as close as a sister. His character is definitely reasonable. They don’t believe that Song Rongyan will do something like adultery, and Gu Xiangyi doesn’t believe it either.
So, now, it is time to put the investigation of Song Rongyan on the agenda, otherwise the people in the family would scold her one by one. As time goes by, Gu Xiangyi was really afraid that his temper and sharpness would be wiped out.
The mother and daughter of Luoxiangyuan were greatly affected. If the happiest non-woven green garden was, Gu Fangyi would wake up laughing in her dreams these days.
In the past, Gu Ruoyi always used her identity as a legitimate daughter to suppress her. How about now? His reputation has completely broken down. I guess Gu Hengjun will not forgive her within a few years.
The Yingjiang Garden where Xu Junhe lives is brightly lit at this moment. The fifth girl Gu Shuyi and the eighth girl Gu Xiuyi sat around the table, watching Xu Junhe fan the fan all the time.
The weather has become more and more stuffy recently. Most of July has passed. It is almost autumn, but it is still a little cool.
Xu Junhe put down the fan, reached out to pour herself a cup of tea and tasted it, and said softly: "I really underestimated this Sixth Girl before, I didn't know she was such an idea."
Gu Shuyi sneered: "Mom, that's just a coincidence. The eldest lady wants to plot against Lao Liu, but she is not good at learning. She didn't learn anything bad at Zhibiyuan, but instead compensated her and her daughter. It's really embarrassing to say."
Compared to the calmness of the fifth girl, the eighth girl Gu Xiuyi seemed more lively and cheerful. She ate the fried rose melon seeds in the box and said, "But He Yinju can't underestimate it. I heard that she had put her ideas on Prince Jingde. If she really made her successful, what should I do with my fifth sister?"
Well, Yi Jingxiao is a hot commodity, and everyone wants to bite him.
"Captain Jingde's despise her?" Gu Shuyi's tone was full of sarcasm: "I really don't laugh at Lao Liu. Even if she is really the blood of the Gu family, then Erlang of the Yi family would not be able to marry her as a wife, and it would not be embarrassing. At that time, he would be laughed at by the aristocratic circle in the capital to death."
Feeling that the eldest daughter was right, Xu Junhe nodded in agreement.
She is a serious concubine brought in by the Gu family. Her identity is naturally much higher than Jiang Ruhua. Jiang Ruhua sang songs, and this identity made her not too tough even if she was favored. However, Xu Junhe only gave birth to two daughters of Xingwu and Xingba for so many years. One male was not born, and her status in the mansion was very embarrassing.
Now that he is old and has a weaker complexion, he is incomparable to the freshness he had when he first entered the mansion. Gu Hengjun is no longer willing to touch her. He probably has no hope of giving birth to a man in this life. She is not as good as Fu Zhirong's life. The old broom gave birth to a bead and the youngest male in the Gu family crawled out of her belly. He was the only legitimate son and the heir to this great uncle's mansion.
Although he was not from a good background, Jiang Ruhua was favored by her and had two sons by her side. She never took Xu Junhe seriously on weekdays.
The seventh girl Gu Fangyi and the eighth girl Gu Xiuyi were only one day away from birth. Jiang Ruhua was plotted when giving birth to Gu Fangyi, and then Xu Junhe also plotted against him. Two people with big belly gave birth to two daughters one after another, and they almost had difficulty giving birth. There are probably many twists and turns in this.
Jiang Ruhua always suspected that she had given birth to prematurely by Xu Junhe, but Xu Junhe did not harm her, probably because the eldest lady was the one who gave birth to her youngest daughter. Xu Junhe also had premature birth when she gave birth to her youngest daughter, so she didn't know if it was done by Jiang Ruhua or the eldest lady.
This kind of thing may only be clear to the parties involved.
Since she can't give birth to a son and it's hard to get a share of the Gu family, Xu Junhe only relies on marrying a daughter. If both of her daughters marry a good family, she can live a better life.
When the maid from Yingjiangyuan went out to splash water, she heard someone talking about the third girl outside, saying that she had a nose and eyes. After hearing this, the maid came back and told them.
After hearing this, Gu Shuyi smiled slightly: "That third sister is stupid, I guess she doesn't even know who is hurting her. This will be the case in her life, so no good family is willing to marry her."
"Fifth sister is right!" Gu Xiuyi responded: "In this way, isn't the good marriage of Gong Jingde's Mansion the two of us sisters?"
Haven't anyone told them that they should be self-aware? There are so many noble girls in the capital, beautiful and gentle, talented and knowledgeable, good-for-birth, and good-for-breeding girls. They can choose from all kinds of girls at will. How many people are worthy of Yi Jingxiao? I think Gu Shuyi and Gu Fangyi are like this, and it will be impossible to practice for ten or eight years.
However, Xu Junhe's future is all entrusted to her two daughters. Since they were young, she has taught her to capture the heart of men and marry out of the house with glory and gloriousness. Only by relying on men can she have a good life for herself.
In fact, Gu Shuyi did not want to marry Yi Jingxiao, or she did not have her own eight sister, and she would not marry Yi Jingxiao.
In her eyes, a rich and powerful man can marry. What should I do if I have to set such a high goal for myself? I can't catch a big fish and scare away other fish. It's better to catch one, so that I can get more harvest.
"The third sister's marriage is probably lingering, but the eldest lady obviously doesn't want her to marry into the Lu family." Gu Shuyi sighed softly: "It doesn't matter if she marrys other families. I'm just afraid that it will be my turn after marrying her. I haven't really used my skills yet, so she told me about the marriage. What should I do?"
She didn't have the confidence and courage to refuse a relative if Gu Xiangyi said he would refuse a relative.
"She dares, if she just asks a marriage to send you off, then my mother will have a way to deal with her."
Xu Junhe believes that she has a noble status. Before her family fell into decline, she opened a pharmacy shop and had several stores, but it was already the previous generation's business. It was her turn that only a few rooms were left.
The older brother and younger brother marry and have children. Each one is not enough to share a house, so where can she have a share? When she was a child, she studied poetry and books for two years, and she was also a little talented. Then she entered the Gu Mansion as a good concubine. In her heart, she will always be nobler than Jiang Ruhua. Naturally, Fu can't compare with her.
