There is an exquisite pond at the gate of Huo residence. A pavilion has been built in the middle of the pond.
At the end of summer, the pond is full of lotus leaves and pavilions, and a pool of clear water surrounds the lotus body, with colorful waves.
In the distant Pavilion, carved beams and painted buildings are reflected in the water waves. Koi jump up and the sound of Ling water can be heard.
Gu Qingzhou felt that his eyes were like sharp arrows, and he was shooting from that direction.
She looked over.
A woman sat in the pavilion, her eyes full of sharp points, staring at Gu Qingzhou and Huo Yue who was talking to Gu Qingzhou.
She stretched out her charming waist and legs from the tip of the cheongsam.
"Oh, it's her." Gu Qingzhou smiled and shouted, "aunt!"
Staring at Gu Qingzhou is Mei Ying, Huo Yue's concubine. Her eyes pierce Gu Qingzhou's back.
When Gu Qingzhou went to see a doctor before, Mei Ying said a lot of things to stop her. Gu Qingzhou didn't care. It was uncomfortable at that time, but I forgot later. After all, Mei Ying also cares about Huo Yue.
But Meiying kept it in mind.
Her eyes looking at the boat showed the strangeness that Gu Qingzhou couldn't understand, as if Gu Qingzhou was an intruder.
Where is the invasion?
Is Mrs. Gu worried that Gu Qingzhou robbed Huo Yue and won her favor?
She didn't know that Gu Qingzhou was the prospective daughter-in-law of the governor and the fiancee of Si mu?
I don't know.
Mei Ying's hostility confused Gu Qingzhou.
"Miss Gu, I haven't seen you for many days." When the aunt heard Gu Qingzhou calling her, she slowly stood up and turned her eyes. It was already charming and charming. She answered Gu Qingzhou from a distance.
She came towards Gu Qingzhou.
Huo Yue has something to go out and has already left by car.
Aunt Mei came towards Gu Qingzhou. Gu Qingzhou couldn't leave without permission, which seemed impolite.
She stood there waiting for Mei Ying.
Mei Ying is the little half of the hostess of Huo residence. Gu Qingzhou is rude to her with provocative elements, which makes Mei Ying misunderstand.
She doesn't want to be misunderstood.
When you come to Huo residence, Gu Qingzhou is open and doesn't need to hide anything.
And Mei Ying's hostility is also ignored by Gu Qingzhou. She doesn't care much about the views of strangers.
Mei Ying is dressed in a soft silk cheongsam and walks gracefully.
"Miss Gu, do you come to see the master or the eldest lady?" Mei Ying asked with a smile.
Mei Ying usually calls Huo Yuanjing a Jing, but in front of outsiders, she seems to respect Huo Yuanjing and directly calls her "big miss".
Gu Qingzhou regards Mei Ying as a small part of the hostess, which is actually a compliment to her. Huo Yue and Huo Yuanjing never thought so.
In the eyes of the Huo family, Mei Ying is only the daughter of Huo yue'en. Huo Yue attaches importance to love and righteousness and gives her a shelter status and identity.
She is not Huo Yue's woman.
Huo Yuanjing is a young lady. She will not support her brother's concubine when she invites her friends to make up classes.
She's not her sister-in-law.
Mei Ying really doesn't know the purpose of Gu Qingzhou. Gu Qingzhou is an ordinary guest.
"I came to see ah Jing." Gu Qingzhou has soft eyes, looks young and harmless, and is not aggressive.
My aunt is still staring at her nervously.
"It seems that you also came yesterday. What's wrong with the eldest lady?" Asked the aunt.
After that, she took Gu Qingzhou's arm and wanted to go to see Huo Yuanjing with Gu Qingzhou.
Sheng Xia is wearing a short sleeved cheongsam. Gu Qingzhou's arm is attached to Mei Ying's arm. She is particularly uncomfortable.
It's really strange for the stranger to stick to his skin like this. Gu Qingzhou made a slight effort, took out his arm and stroked his hair, pretending to be a little away from Mei Ying inadvertently.
"Is the eldest lady ill?" Mei Ying asked. At the same time, she was angry that Gu Qingzhou took out her arm and thought of something. Do you think I'm willing to stick to you!
She regarded Gu Qingzhou as a doctor.
"No, ah Jing is about to resume school. I'll review her lessons with her." Gu Qingzhou said.
Mei YingYuan's slippery eyes turned down in his eyes. His mood couldn't hide: "review?"
The aunt was born in a happy scene. She is best at intriguing and deceiving others. She treats people with three points of vigilance. Gu Qingzhou's words have been in her heart hundreds of times.
Come and review your lessons?
It's not a day or two to review. Gu Qingzhou will stay at Huo's house for a long time!
My aunt stepped slightly and said, "is it necessary to review for a long time?"
"About twenty days." Gu Qingzhou Road, then pretending to be confused, stopped and looked at her.
My aunt was shocked.
twenty days!
Doesn't Huo Yue often see her?
After a long time of suffering, she managed to squeeze out a gentle smile: "go first, Miss Gu. I think the kitchen has stewed bird's nest. I'll go and see the heat. The servants are always clumsy."
"Then I'll go first." Gu Qingzhou smiled and waved goodbye to his aunt.
Looking at her back, Mei Ying's expression became more and more gloomy.
Mei Ying is almost twenty-seven. She hates young girls very much: they are full of tricks, but the world only regards them as naive and naive.
The younger a girl is, the harder she tries to hook up with a man. If she fails, there is also a fig leaf. The world only regards them as ignorant.
My aunt's snow-white slender fingers clenched tightly, and her fingernails almost pierced the palm.
"It seems that I have to do something in advance." Aunt Mei thought.
Gu Qingzhou frowned.
Walking slowly all the way, Gu Qingzhou was sweating when he reached Huo Yuanjing's yard.
The maid prepared warm water.
"I thought you would arrive half an hour earlier." Huo Yuanjing said, "is the driver slack again?"
"That's not true. I just met Mr. Huo at the door and my aunt." Gu Qingzhou road.
Huo Yuanjing stopped saying anything.
Opening the textbook, they first reviewed the Bible.
Half an hour later, the maid came in with tea and reminded them, "eldest lady, Miss Gu, have a rest."
Huo Yuanjing probably couldn't read it. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the speech, and the girl's simplicity was revealed.
Gu Qingzhou laughs.
The maid brought in fruit juice, including watermelon juice.
Gu Qingzhou poured half a cup and sipped slowly.
Thinking of the aunt, Gu Qingzhou asked Huo Jijing, "ah Jing, your aunt, how many years have you been in the door?"
Huo Yuanjing doesn't like Mei Ying very much. She is slightly surprised at the speech. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhou will talk about her.
After thinking about it, Huo Yuanjing said, "four or five years. My brother took me out of the orphanage. I went home and heard the servant say that my aunt has been a year or two."
Huo Yuanjing's solitude is only to strangers.
She has long been familiar with Gu Qingzhou and trusts her very much. When the chatterbox is opened, it can't be closed.
She told Gu Qingzhou about the relationship between Huo Yue and Mei Ying, and even about her own life experience.
"... the Huo family is a famous family in Northern Jiangsu. I was a dancing girl when my father went to Yuecheng. Before I was born, my father was pulled back by his wife and was not allowed to socialize again.
My mother didn't save much money and was ill behaved. Later, she couldn't afford to pay the rent. After she got sick, she left all the rations at home to me and starved to death.
It was winter when she died. I was only two years old. It was said that she had died for five days, and I was still sleeping on her chest. The landlord came to ask for debt and found us.
The landlord's conscience found that he donated a few dollars, gave me to the orphanage for adoption, and buried my mother in a thin coffin.
My father was taken home and died within six months. His wife was also ill, like a plague. That lady is my brother's mother.
My parents died. My elder brother is only ten years old and eats in the family. However, the uncles of the clan were so ruthless that they took all his family property and said they wanted to raise him in the clan.
After a few years, I refused to give my elder brother food on the pretext that business was difficult to do. My elder brother couldn't stand being idle and ran from home to Yuecheng at the age of 15.
When he first arrived in Yuecheng, he was young and penniless. He couldn't do heavy work. He couldn't do light work. He almost starved to death in the street. It was Aunt Mei's father who saved my brother and pasted him with some baked cakes.
My elder brother couldn't find a way from the age of 15 to 17. He fooled around here today and there tomorrow. There's always no fixed number. He often went to Mei's Pancake stall when he was hungry.
The uncle of the Mei family is a solid man. His life is also difficult. He has a dead wife and only a daughter. He doesn't make much money when he goes out to the stall every day. He also sticks my elder brother to eat.
Mei Ying was young at that time. When she saw my elder brother, she always rubbed the food and beat my elder brother with a burning iron bar. One time it was summer and I was beaten hard. My elder brother was beaten to pieces by her. He had a high fever and almost died.
Since then, my elder brother never dared to go to Mei's stall to eat. Later, he flattered the Green Gang and began to eat.
My elder brother is smart and has the ability to do things. He has done it slowly. Longtou likes him very much. After ten years of hard work, he has become the leader himself.
However, he has always disliked Mei Ying. If it were not for the deathbed entrustment of the Mei family's uncle to let my elder brother give Mei Ying a bite of food, my elder brother would not take her in. "
Huo yuan finished in a calm breath.
While she was talking, Gu Qingzhou didn't bother her, but drank juice in silence.
The bright red watermelon juice dyed her tender lips bright and bright.
After hearing this, Gu Qingzhou understood why Mei Ying was so defensive against other women!
She must know in her heart that Huo Yue will never love her and is just a little kind to her.
In the future, if a woman comes in, she will completely overwhelm her. Her kindness is not the foundation of her foothold. She needs to be humble to continue to live in the Huo family.
Mei Ying, who lives in dignity, doesn't want to flatter another woman.
Even Gu Qingzhou and other little girls should be on guard.
Mei Ying's contention is not that she doesn't know the so-called favor, but the status of survival.
The struggle for survival is cruel and fierce.
Knowing this, Gu Qingzhou felt that she should be careful not to follow Aunt Mei's words.
Since Aunt Mei believes that Gu Qingzhou is an intruder, she will attack Gu Qingzhou.
"It is her father, not her, who is kind to Lord Huo." Gu Qingzhou murmured.
Huo Yuanjing immediately cited her as a confidant: "exactly, exactly, that's what I said. You don't know how much she went too far. There was something last year that I still care about!"
"What's up?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
