Chapter 8: parents quarrel
In the warm pavilion, Liang's smile was still hanging on his face. Seeing Liu's hurried away, he didn't even say the purpose of coming. He just felt that he really had a bad breath in his heart.
She held her daughter's hand affectionately. If her daughter fell into the water, it was really Liu's actions, then she would not let Liu's family go. She just wanted to give her daughter a stable and wealthy environment, but now her daughter is even safe She was threatened, and her tolerance would be meaningless.
"What you said just now is very good, but remember not to be too revealing." Liang Shi couldn't help but reminded her daughter. "Nang don't worry, if Nang falls into the water is someone doing it on purpose, mother will not let them go."
Gu Yuqi nodded, there was tenderness in her heart, and the firmness in her mother's eyes made her gratified, because the stagnation between her eyes had disappeared, "By the way, mother, what did you do just now? What is the set of swordsmanship called?"
"That set of swordsmanship was taught by your grandfather. It is the swordsmanship passed down by our Liang family, and it is called Wuying. If you like it, my mother will teach you tomorrow. Our Liang family also has a set of swordsmanship that you want to learn. Is it?" Mrs. Liang asked softly.
"If you want to learn, of course you want to learn!" Gu Yuqi jumped up with surprise on her face, hugged Liang's neck and gave her a strong kiss on the cheek. This is the rhythm of falling pie from the sky, Gu Yuqi is overjoyed, Liang Huaiyu in her previous life never mentioned anything about marksmanship. It's probably because of how bad she behaved in her previous life... Gu Yuqi was a little ashamed again.
The daughter's expression of joy in her heart so hotly made Liang stunned. Looking at her daughter's so meticulous face, Liang only felt that her heart was about to melt. No matter how deceitful or ruthless Gu Huaizhong was, she was still alive. Having a daughter, she can't be depressed even for the sake of her. This set of swordsmanship and marksmanship are both the family heritage of the Liang family. Back then, when she and Gu Huaizhong got married, she secretly passed this set of swordsmanship and marksmanship to him. Later, her father noticed it and sent her a letter. Don't punish her.
At that time, she felt that Gu Huaizhong would love her and protect her for the rest of her life, but... Thinking of this, Liang Huaiyu's heart was aching for a while. He had kept her concubines and children at border gates for so many years. If she hadn't moved to the capital, she would have been kept in the dark. Even the father who was with him didn't notice it, which shows how wary he was of the Liang family.
Gu Yuqi is so good. If she can't support her daughter, she will be a mother in vain. Thinking of this, her mood will be more open. She couldn't think of it before, how can she not compare to that Liu Yue, the daughter of the general's daughter, He came from an aristocratic family, was both civil and military, and had a cheerful and gentle temperament. Now it seems that it may not be her fault that she can't hold her husband's heart.
The mother and daughter talked again in the intimate warm pavilion. Liang Shi first told Gu Yuqi the swordsmanship passed down from the family, and asked Gu Yuqi to memorize it.
Gu Yuqi learns things very fast. Although the sword tricks and shootings are difficult to speak, but Liang has taught them twice, Gu Yuqi remembers them firmly and repeats them fluently. This is called Liang Huaiyu, and she is very happy. , what can the husband ask for.
Just when the mother and daughter were teaching the other to memorize, Mammy Zhang came to pass the word again, and Lord Hou came.
Liang Huaiyu's smile faltered slightly. He didn't usually step into the Heart-Bending Studio at this time. Liu Yue had just left, and he came here. Could it be that Gu Yuqi taught Liu Yue a lesson just now? She glanced at Gu Yuqi, and saw that Gu Yuqi was not affected at all, and her heart calmed down a little, she just protected her daughter.
Gu Huaizhong opened the door curtain and walked in. Gu Yuqi carefully looked at her scumbag cheap dad. He is now thirty years old, tall and strong, and his long-term military career has given his skin a healthy wheat color. Said that Gu Huaizhong's face was very handsome and mighty, otherwise his mother would not have fallen in love with him at first sight. A black robe with silver edges wrapped around his sturdy body, giving people a fierce and savage killing. Years of blood-licking battlefield created such a temperament. Anyway, this scumbag looks really extraordinary.
After the Liang family brought Gu Yuqi to greet Gu Huaizhong, she ordered someone to bring refreshments.
"Why did the Marquis come here at this time?" Mrs. Liang asked lightly. On the surface, she was gossiping, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
It's been nearly three months since he came to the capital, except when Gu Yuqi fell into the water, he took the initiative to come over. At other times, unless it was the first or fifteenth day of the new year, he would not take the initiative to set foot in Wanxinzhai, even if it was the first and fifteenth day of the new year, It was also late at night, and she went to bed within two words of herself. Intimate things were only done on the first day she came to the capital. She was very perfunctory. I really need to rest and get rid of it. The rest of the time he rested on Liu's side, not knowing how Liu's did it, Gu Huaizhong was so determined to Liu's.
Heart! Thinking of this, Liang's heart froze a little.
Gu Huaizhong looked at his wife's slightly indifferent face, and his heart was also full of thoughts.
Although Gu Huaizhong had already been made a marquis, he still had a lot of discomfort in his heart when he faced the Liang family. Originally, she was the eldest young lady of General Zhenguo. She married him back then. Although he was flattered, loved and respected her, and lived a life of mixing oil with honey for a period of time, he was a high climber after all.
When he returned to the border gate in high spirits, he accidentally overheard the discussions behind his former colleagues and friends, as if a bucket of cold water was slammed down. It turned out that all the military exploits he made were in their eyes only because he had a husband-in-law who was the general of the township.
He can tolerate rumors and criticism once or twice, but the constant lingering makes him very unbearable, and gradually he has a little resentment against Liang Huaiyu and General Zhen Guo. This year, once it takes root in the bottom of my heart, it grows like an obsession.
After so many years, the father-in-law died, and he felt that he still couldn't get rid of his shadow. Seeing Liang Huaiyu, it was as if her husband was standing behind her. He knew that he was indebted to Liang Huaiyu, but he could never return to the original natural admiration for Liang Huaiyu. On the contrary, Liu Yue has always been by his side hard-working and uncompromising, taking him as the heaven and making him feel love and pity in his heart.
Anyway, he made up his mind before Liang Huaiyu brought Gu Yuqi into the capital. If Liang Huaiyu could tolerate Liuyue, it would be fine. If Liang Huaiyu could not tolerate Liuyue, he would be impeached by the remonstrance officials for the infamy of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife. To take a breath for Liu Yue.
Just now, Mrs. Liu went to the study to look for him, and his face was full of sorrow. He repeatedly asked him to know that Mrs. Liu came to greet Mrs. Liang, but he was taught a lesson by the eldest lady, and even Gu Siyang suffered. What can a ten-year-old girl know? I'm afraid that the one who really wants to teach Liu's family is Liang's behind Gu Yuqi. He came to Wanxinzhai because of anger in his heart, but when he arrived at the door of Wanxinzhai, he heard Wanxin. Zhaili Liang was teaching Gu Yuqi the formulas of swordsmanship and marksmanship, and his heart softened again.
In any case, he can be today, in addition to his own efforts, he is also inseparable from the guidance and teaching of his father-in-law. There are so many underprivileged children in the army, and there are not a few who are good in martial arts. Gu Huai was ashamed at the bottom of his heart, and his heart to save face for Liu was a little weaker.
Although he was good in martial arts back then, it was all learned in the military, and it was difficult to excel. His martial arts reached an unprecedented height after the Liang family taught him the Liang family's shadowless swordsmanship and the Lei Spear. The subtlety of martial arts. Everything he has can be said to be given by the woman in the house, but he has failed her.
"Uh..." Gu Huaizhong hesitated, originally he was full of anger, but now he doesn't know if he should argue a few words for Liu Shi.
"Father." Seeing Gu Huaizhong's hesitant look, Gu Yuqi resisted the discomfort in her heart and threw herself into Gu Huaizhong's arms pretending to be intimate. She didn't like her cheap scumbag from the bottom of her heart. In his previous life, not long after Mrs. Liang died, he straightened Mrs. Liu. For Mrs. Liang, he had no friendship at all, and all his thoughts were on Mrs. Liu. How could such a father deserve her respect? It's just that she was too lazy to care about these things in her previous life. To Gu Yuqi in her previous life, these people were just a group of passers-by, not her relatives.
Being pounced by his daughter, Gu Huaizhong subconsciously caught her daughter's small body. Although he was quite unfamiliar with Gu Yuqi's daughter, it was his own blood after all. Seeing that she was willing to get close to him, he also liked it a little in his heart.
"Father just now, Concubine Liu and eldest brother came, so you are here." Gu Yuqi said innocently, tilting her head on purpose. "Big brother won't call me a sister." She widened her dark eyes and stared at Gu Huaizhong, with tears squeezed out of her eyes, "Did I do something wrong? Brother refuses to recognize me?"
Gu Yuqi came with a grievance that made the first move and said that her current advantage is that she is young... She just expanded this advantage a bit.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Yuqi's words came out, the anger in Gu Huaizhong's eyes faded a little. Liu's only said that Gu Yuqi had taught Gu Siyang a lesson and set rules for her, but she didn't mention Gu Siyang's refusal to recognize Gu Yuqi. Gu Siyang was awkward and refused to recognize Liang's and Gu Yuqi. In fact, he knew it, but he was afraid of wronging Liu's mother and son, so he never saw it. Gu Siyang was born under his watch, and he is a male. He usually has a preference for Gu Siyang.
"Siyang is also my son." When Mrs. Liang saw her daughter's words, she wanted to laugh in her heart, but she held back and said to her daughter, "Since I came to Beijing, Siyang has never called my mother, this child has a bad temper. Stubborn, it's fine if you don't recognize me. But A-Nan is the child of me and Hou Ye, and the eldest sister of that child. If there is a rift between their siblings and they spread it out, it will be both for A-Nan and Siyang. It's not good." She said it euphemistically, but Gu Huaizhong had been in the army for a long time, and he immediately heard the meaning of Liang's words.
Although he is now honored as the Dingyuan Marquis, he is only a newcomer in the court, and he cannot compare to those noble families. He only has Gu Yuqi, Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu's three children. Gu Siyang is still a concubine. What will happen to the Houfu in the future, the three sisters and brothers must help each other. Because of his in-laws, his sky is rising. Gu Siyang will take this road in the future to stabilize the status of the Houfu and improve his own status. The help of Gu Yuqi and Gu Siyu to Gu Siyang in the future should not be underestimated. The family in Beijing is intertwined, what is the interest linked to, isn't it in-laws?
Now that he is in the court, he has to think more about these things. Liu's background is too low, I am afraid that Gu Siyang will not be able to marry the daughter of the family's clan in the future, but Gu Yuqi is different. Even her mother is from a family in Jiangnan, and her status is high enough. If she can come back with a good family in the future, and she is willing to help Gu Siyang, then Gu Siyang will be much better than now.
Gu Huaizhong's expression softened a lot, and he swallowed all the questions he had originally asked. He said comfortably, "Madam said very well, that child Siyang was also spoiled by his mother." He said inadvertently, It made Liang's heart burst into a nameless fire.
"His mother?" Mrs. Liang slammed the table and stood up, looking at Gu Huaizhong coldly, "Could it be that in Lord Hou's mind, Mrs. Liu is the wife of Mr. Hou's residence? How dare you ask Mr. Hou to be so general. Where do I put it?"
Only then did Gu Huaizhong realize that he had said what he shouldn't have said in front of Liang's family. Although in his heart, Liu's was Gu Siyang's real mother, but according to the law, Liang's was the married wife he was marrying. It is the Mrs. Houfu, only she is qualified to be Gu Siyang's mother, as the concubine Liu Shi is just a slave.
He was embarrassed for a while and didn't know what to say, and repeatedly comforted Liang Shi.
However, the Liang family can't calm down anymore, it has been more than three months! She brought Gu Yuqi to the capital for more than three months. She suppressed the grievances in her heart. She made herself sick, and her daughter fell into the water inexplicably. The life here was a mess, but the Liu family was not damaged at all. Yu Shi lived, she even gave up the right to be the head of the family. Today, she was only wronged by herself, and the man in front of her came over to help her regain face. If she still bears it now, then she and her daughter might as well return to Jiangnan as soon as possible!
"Master Hou, when you married me, I respected you and loved you. I have been waiting for you in Jiangnan for ten years. My father died of illness and went back to Jiangnan in mourning. It's fine if you don't come back. Now I bring my nan to Beijing. But I found out that you have a beautiful concubine with you, and you have both children. You lied to me for ten years, and you didn't want to protect them. What am I in your eyes?" Liang Shi burst out all his anger and became excited. There was a slight flush on his face. "If Lord Hou really thinks that our mother and daughter are in the way of Lord Hou, that's fine, tomorrow I will accompany Lord Lord to Dali Temple and write the book of He Li. From then on Lord Hou is willing to let Gu Siyang call whoever mother, I will I won't say another word!"
According to the law of Daqi, the first-class official life cannot be abandoned, but only to reconcile, and both parties must go to the Dali temple government office to explain the reason for reconciliation.
When Liang's face turned, Gu Huaizhong couldn't hang up in an instant. Originally, he was sorry for Liang's family. If Liang's family made trouble at Dali Temple because of Liu's affairs, then he would really live up to the name of a concubine who killed his wife. Daqi pays attention to propriety and filial piety, and General Liang gave him the kindness that he knew and met. He is too strong in the limelight now, and he seems to be the leader of the upstarts. Everyone in the court is calling him haha, but behind the scenes there are not a few people who are jealous of him. become a weapon against him.
Gu Huaizhong made a big blush, but he couldn't have an attack when he felt ashamed in his heart. He could only patiently appease Liang's family. Liang Shi seemed to want to vent all the grievances in his heart for the past three months. Gu Huaizhong could only scold him without fighting back, endure it if he couldn't fight back, and continue to comfort Liang Shi.
Gu Yuqi has to say that her mother who looks delicate and sick is really angry, so scary! She gave a thumbs up secretly, as expected of being born in Jiangmen!
Gu Yuqi saw her parents quarreling with each other, and silently stood aside to point her fingers. On the surface, she seemed frightened, but in fact, she was already overjoyed. Liang Shi has been stagnant in his chest, and it is not a good thing if it does not happen. Gu Yuqi also expected that even if Gu Huaizhong was scolded by Liang's **** head, he would not dare to do anything to their mother and daughter, that's why they messed up like this. The purpose of her doing this is to make Liang shi face up to her status and stop being blindly forgiving.
In the previous life, she was as proud as she was because she loved that unfeeling and cold-hearted person too much, so she tolerated him everywhere, and what kind of end did she end up with in the end? A trace of loneliness flashed across Gu Yuqi's eyes.
