Chapter 15 Walking in the Garden in the Dark 2
But if Madam Gu enters the door...
Qingshu bit her lip hard. She could see clearly what kind of lady Gu is. She is not a tolerant person, but also a shameless person who loves to make trouble. The old man only saw her good looks in his eyes, saying that she is smart and unfamiliar, and she is so tall! If she enters the door, the old man's heart will definitely be won away by her!
The eldest grandma is there. Even if she is not favored by the old man, Madam Gu will not dare to quarrel with her. But what about her? A maid like her will not be bullied by her every day. How can she live that life?
It was dark this day, and the garden didn’t light it, so I couldn’t see it. What garden was she visiting? She was not visiting the garden, but she was visiting the old man!
She can't sit idly!
"Xiaofu, come with me and take a look. Grandma is afraid that my parents will drink too much, so she will go to the second door to welcome her." Qingshu made up his mind and called the little girl Xiaofu out loud and went to the second door together.
It was already dark. Suining Bo Mansion has been poor for many years. At night, there was no owner in the house and no lights were allowed to light the lights. The garden was even darker and the moonlight was illuminated. Fortunately, the moon was already half full, and the weather was good today, so you can see it very clearly.
Qingshu took Xiaofu in a big circle and walked around the second gate from the gate of Mrs. Chen's courtyard.
Halfway through, Qingshu paused violently.
She was confused! What did she really encounter? Should she break through or not? When she broke through, the one who got angry at the first one was the old man! If she didn't break through... Why did she do this trip if she didn't break through?
Qingshu was anxious and turned around several times. Xiaofu looked at her for no reason, "Sister Qingshu, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I mean... I mean... it's just me and you. If you drink too much, I'm afraid we can't stand it, and it's not that we can't stand it..."
Within a few words, Qingshu's mind had already been circling seventeen or eighteen circles. It would be best for the big grandma to come forward for catching a crime, but the big grandma was so sick... Shui Lian? No, the girls around her were all ghostly and stingy. Besides, I heard that without the big grandma's instructions, they were not allowed to even go out of the yard...
Big grandma doesn’t work here, who else can I find?
Second wife!
Qingshu's eyes lit up. The second lady's temper always doesn't care about anything and screams first. It's just right! She uses her voice to remove the skin of Gu, and she is shameless anyway!
"I just remembered it." Qingshu made up his mind, "Miss Gu said that he saw a lot of fireflies in our garden. The second lady wanted to see the fireflies so much that we could not think about it. Let's call the second lady out to see the fireflies."
After Qingshu finished speaking, he turned around and strode straight to the Lianqingyuan of his second wife Jiang Ning. It would be too late to be happy!
Xiaofu trotted behind him, confused. It was only March, and in such a cold day, where did the fireflies come from?
The second wife Jiang Ning had just returned from Mrs. Chen's yard. My grandmother was in a bad mood. She and her sister talked with her grandmother for a while.
When Qingshu was talking and laughing, she wanted to take her to see the fireflies. Jiang Ning frowned and looked impatient. She was not interested in the fireflies. She just said casually that day that day, it was dark and she was going to sleep.
Qingshu was anxious and glanced at her expression. He changed his mind, "I will catch more fireflies with my second wife, put them in a white veil cage, and take them back and hang them under the Lianqing Garden. This is the most popular this year. I heard that the flowering meeting at the Duke of Sui Guo’s mansion is not lighted in the garden, and there are white veil cages full of fireflies hanging everywhere, flashing and saying it is the same as a fairyland."
Jiang Ning was immediately moved. The family she envied and longed for the most was the family of Duke Sui, the first family in the capital, the mother's home of Empress Dowager Zhou and Concubine Zhou!
After my elder brother got engaged to the Li family last year, my grandmother took them and returned to the Xiuxiufang to make clothes. I heard that the girl from the Zhou family was wearing a pomegranate red and gold-spreading skirt. She pestered her grandmother and made one. Sure enough, the skirt was so beautiful when she wore it on her body.
"Let's leave quickly, it will be gone any later." Qingshu was anxious. Seeing that her expression was relaxed, she grabbed Jiang Ning and dragged him out with a smile. Jiang Ning was filled with the firefly cage that followed the Duke's family. She ran out with her eyes full of light. She still deserved this firefly cage.
Behind the second gate rockery, Madam Gu stared at the moon gate in a restless manner, hoping that her cousin would come back early, but also afraid that her cousin would come back too early, it was too dawn and there were too many people.
The crisp sound of a copper bell and the loud sound of a horse came from outside the hanging flower gate. It was my cousin who was back.
The Jiang family has been in decline for many years, and the only one who has long been neglected by the family is his own family.
Mrs. Gu's heart was pounding, and her lifelong affairs were all about tonight.
Jiang Huanzhang had a gloomy face and stepped into the hanging flower door, glanced around him, and his irritability became stronger.
From the time he came back to now, what made him most bored and uncomfortable was the poverty and ruin in this mansion, and there was no rules! When did his Suining Prince's Mansion be so messy, without any discipline, and without rules?
Jiang Huanzhang paused, took a deep breath, and took another breath. No hurry, no hurry, when he got to know King Jin and took the mission, everything would be fine. Soon, no hurry, this time, no mistake!
Mrs. Gu flashed out from behind the rockery, grabbed the veil, and looked at Jiang Huanzhang timidly.
Jiang Huanzhang was stunned and subconsciously turned around and looked around, "It's so late, why are you here?"
"Cousin," Madam Gu's eyes were tearful, and she took two steps forward, looking up at Jiang Huanzhang, "Cousin, I can't survive."
"What happened?" Jiang Huanzhang's expression was solemn, and his eyes were so sharp that Madam Gu's heart trembled several times. Madam Gu bit his lip, suppressing the fear and timidity that suddenly surged in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Cousin, Dad and Brother, force me to marry... Marry..."
Mrs. Gu's tears fell down her cheeks like rolling balls. She looked up at Jiang Huanzhang and couldn't say anything. She didn't know who they would force her to marry, after all, she hadn't started to force her to.
Jiang Huanzhang frowned. He accepted her a year later. During this year, her father forced her to marry someone. He couldn't remember these trivial matters, maybe he didn't know it at the beginning.
"Cousin!" Seeing Jiang Huanzhang frowning, Madam Gu's uneasiness became stronger and stronger. She made a move and took a step forward. She almost got close to Jiang Huanzhang, raised her head and said, "Cousin, I can't survive anymore, I don't want to live anymore!"
As he said that, he felt as if he was crying and could not stand up, he threw himself into Jiang Huanzhang's arms.
Jiang Huanzhang instinctively reached out to her, subconsciously lowered his head and kissed Gu Niangzi's cheek. He had been doing this for decades, and it almost became instinct.
