After Si Xingpeng left, Gu Qingzhou's hand outside was a little cold. She retracted her quilt and didn't move for a long time.
People sometimes have inertia, especially when they don't wake up.
As soon as inertia comes up, it will tell itself to abandon the so-called dignity, work hard to do with self-esteem, be a cat in charge of business, and keep it outside the room in the future. Is there anything wrong?
But when you think of the outside room, you will think of Qin Zheng.
I hate Qin Zheng so much. Do I want to be like her?
Gu Qingzhou shuddered.
This inertia suddenly disappeared.
She struggled to sit up, combed her hair and changed clothes, and returned to the Gu residence.
No matter how difficult it is, Gu residence is also her battlefield. You have to earn everything by yourself.
When I arrived at Gu residence, I found that the dining room had been replaced with brand-new linen tablecloths, the sofa had also been replaced with new cushions, and the whole house had been cleaned again.
"Did I not come back after a day?" Gu Qingzhou was slightly stunned.
Gu's stairs, which have always been bare, are now covered with dark brown cashmere carpet, soft and fluffy, extending to the third floor.
"The carpets are out!" Gu Qingzhou was even more surprised.
The servant was cleaning the bathroom on the third floor. He carried down the old bath bucket that had been put for a long time and threw it away. He replaced it with a new mahogany bath bucket.
Gu Qingzhou was stunned and stunned.
"Zhouzhou?" Gu Shao called her behind him.
Gu Qingzhou returned to his senses and pointed to the transformed house: "what's this for?"
"I don't know. Dad ordered me to tell the second wife to clean the whole house." Gu Shao said, "I have to clean up the flower bed tomorrow. I heard I bought many flowers and trees. I haven't bought anything new at home in seven or eight years."
Gu Qingzhou remembered that the second aunt said a few days ago that congratulations to miss Qingzhou. Gu's family is going to have a double happiness.
"Double happiness", which can be connected with Gu Qingzhou's marriage, is naturally another marriage.
"Is Dad going to marry a new wife?" Gu Qingzhou asks Gu Shao.
Gu Shao was shocked.
In fact, Gu Shao guessed like this, but it seems to be a fact from Gu Qingzhou's mouth. It's a little scary.
Adding a person to the family will break the existing balance and make everyone unable to find their place in a short time, resulting in inexplicable panic.
"If it weren't for the new wife to come to the door, she wouldn't clean up the house so much." Gu Qingzhou road.
Ten thousand steps back, Gu Guizhang knew that Gu Wei had changed his head and face to become the aunt of a senior government official, and he would not welcome Gu Wei so grandly.
Gu Guizhang is the best at crying for poverty. If Gu Wei comes back, he will try his best to sell miserably and get sympathy and benefits from Gu Wei.
There is only one explanation that can make Gu Guizhang pay so much money, that is, he is going to marry again.
The woman is not from Yuecheng.
"Do you know who the new wife is?" Gu Shao asked.
Gu Qingzhou shook his head.
Seeing Gu Shao's face slightly changed, Gu Qingzhou said with a smile: "brother, what are you nervous about? You're going to France in March and won't deal with the new wife at all."
Gu Shao's face changed again.
This change in his face was caught by Gu Qingzhou, who gave him a puzzled look.
"Why, you have an accident about studying abroad?" Gu Qingzhou was stunned.
Gu Shao coughed: "No."
Then he went back to his room.
Gu Qingzhou looked at his back suspiciously and thought that Gu Shao's mind was also elusive. In the evening, Gu Guizhang came back in a very good mood. He took the initiative to talk about why he decorated Gu residence.
"I have relatives in Taicang. The Ni family will come to visit on the tenth day of the first day. That's my distinguished guest. Don't treat them lightly." Gu Guizhang was beaming with joy.
Everyone knows what's going on, including Gu Xiang and Gu Ying.
Originally, the new wife's surname was Ni.
Ni is not his surname. Gu Qingzhou has never heard of each other's identity.
Everyone was silent.
Several aunts and wives are not feeling well. The relaxed days at home are coming to an end.
"You should give the new lady a slap in the face when she comes in." The second aunt thought, "she can't stand up. My family will still be mine in the future."
The third aunt thought, "should I finish my work and leave my family? I don't want to serve a new wife."
The fourth aunt touched her stomach too much and was full of sorrow. She has neither the ability of her second aunt nor the free and easy ability of her third aunt. She can't overwhelm the new wife and can't go.
The only happy thing about this is Gu Guizhang.
Everyone was uncomfortable, but did not speak. They ate silently. They could clearly hear the sound of the ivory sheath touching the porcelain bowl, slight and careful.
Gu Xiang couldn't bear it anymore. Her voice was excited and hurried: "Abba, are you going to have a blind date? It hasn't been 100 days since my mother left. Abba, can you afford her like this?"
As she spoke, she sobbed and began to cry.
Her voice was particularly abrupt in the silent dining room.
Gu Guizhang's side is a happy event, and he may not be able to succeed. He is very nervous. Suddenly, Gu Xiang threw cold water on his head, and Gu Guizhang was furious.
He slapped his chopsticks on the table: "your mother? Is that your mother? That's a murderer!"
Gu Xiang thought that the evidence of killing the old lady together with Mu Ma was still in Gu Qingzhou's hand, and Gu Qingzhou was present. She was soft at that time and didn't dare to argue with Gu Guizhang.
Gu Guizhang's temper rose, and Gu Xiang aroused all his anger. He scolded Gu Xiang severely, and even said, "from tomorrow on, don't allow the eldest lady to eat. Starve her for three days, let her have a long memory!"
The dinner was ruined by Gu Xiang.
Gu Xiang went upstairs crying and fell between the pillows, turning in his heart.
"I'm finished!" Gu Xiang's tender white hands gripped the quilt corner. "Dad doesn't love me anymore. Gu Qingzhou has my criminal evidence in his hand. The new wife has to enter the door. There's no place in this family."
She wants to change.
Gu Xiang held the quilt corner and almost pinched the quilt out of shape.
"I want to sink the boat again!" Gu Xiang's eyes were cold and sharp, and he stared at the empty wall. "I'm almost twenty and I'm an old girl, but dad doesn't worry about my marriage. He wants to remarry!
He is unreliable. I have no mummy, no grandmother, and the rest are my brothers and sisters. No one can help me! Break and then stand, do not break and do not stand! "
Gu Xiang felt that if she dragged on like this, she would die at home.
The new wife certainly won't like her. She won't know what to marry her at that time. She can't bear it.
A plan in her heart for a long time slowly rises.
Gu Xiang can't stop her father from remarrying, but she can't leave her fate to the new wife!
Especially her marriage.
"Xiangxiang, don't be afraid, you will succeed!" Gu Xiang comforted himself again and again.
Gu Qingzhou didn't know Gu Xiang's plan. She was just a little curious about what kind of woman Gu Guizhang was going to marry.
"He must have money, otherwise he wouldn't decorate so much." Gu Qingzhou guessed.
Taicang Ni family
Maybe we should ask.
But Gu Qingzhou has his own business to do.
With a casual word, she can delay Gu Guizhang's marriage until the end of the year, or next year. Because his mother died, he has not been filial.
Gu Guizhang doesn't care. The governor cares.
The governor was most concerned about these old-fashioned rules. Gu Qingzhou said a few words casually, and Gu Guizhang would never dare to offend the governor.
"If Gu Guizhang's marriage is delayed until the end of the year, I'll be gone at that time. Who he marries has nothing to do with me." Gu Qingzhou thought.
With this in mind, she still has a lot of plans to finish, so she has no intention to inquire about Taicang Ni's family for the time being.
In the first month, Gu Qingzhou did a lot of research and visited some classmates and friends. It seemed to be a New Year greeting, but it was actually asking for news.
Finally, Gu Qingzhou found out some clues.
"Luoshui, will you invite Wan min to the wedding banquet?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
"You want to invite her?" Yan Luoshui was slightly surprised.
Wan min is a classmate in Gu Qingzhou's class. She has no goodwill towards Gu Qingzhou. She even has a slight friendship with Gu Qingzhou because of the choir.
Yan Luoshui didn't quite understand Gu Qingzhou's proposal.
"Yes, I want to resolve the contradiction with her." Gu Qingzhou said, "Why are you killing each other among your classmates?"
Yan Luoshui was surprised.
Gu Qingzhou, what's the matter?
"Why don't you call her home today?" Gu Qingzhou said again.
Yan Luoshui is confused.
However, she invited the female students of the whole class and was still considering whether to invite Wan min yesterday. Later, she thought of Gu Qingzhou and excluded Wan min. she always felt that this was too obvious.
Gu Qingzhou said these words. Yan Luoshui thought about it and agreed.
She did call Wan min.
Wan min was surprised at the other end of the phone.
Wan min knows that Yan Luoshui is engaged on the 18th of the first month of the month and that she has invited all her classmates. She knows that she is close to Gu Qingzhou and will not invite her. At a moment of embarrassment, Yan Luoshui suddenly calls. Wan min is very happy.
As soon as she was happy, Wan min ignored the past grievances and said to Yanluo watercourse, "well, I will go. Congratulations, Luoshui. Come to my family's feast on the eighth day of the ninth lunar month!"
As a courtesy, Yan Luoshui gave the steps first, and WAN min was embarrassed. She invited Yan Luoshui, Gu Qingzhou and Huo Yuanjing to the banquet of her family's eighth day.
After receiving the invitation letter from the Wan family, everything was logical. Gu Qingzhou's lips were slightly tilted.
Huo Yuanjing didn't understand: "what the hell are you doing?"
"It's not me, it's a canoe." Yan Luoshui said with a smile, "she asked me to invite Wan min. Wan Min wants face. If you give her face, she will pay back."
"The Wan family is a celebrity in the academic circle. There must be a lot of literati at her banquet. I admire a few scholars. It's OK to go and have a look." Yan Luoshui said again.
In this way, Gu Qingzhou was qualified to go to Wan's house for a banquet.
She is not interested in the Wan family.
However, Gu Qingzhou knew that there was someone who would go to Wan's house.
Gu Qingzhou is more interested in this man. She needs a very appropriate and hidden opportunity to get close to this person.
What's better than a party?
Gu Qingzhou pushed everything early and prepared new clothes. He got up early on August 1st of the first month and went to Wan's house.
