At the gate of Huo mansion, there is a delicate pond with a pavilion in the middle.
At the end of summer, a pond full of lotus leaves Pavilion, a pond of green water around the lotus body, Yan Bo Lianlian.
The pavilion in the distance, with carved beams and painted buildings, is reflected in the waves of water. The koi leaps up and the sound of cool water is heard all the time.
Gu Qingzhou feels like a sharp arrow. He is shooting from that direction.
She looked over.
There was a woman sitting in the bower. Her beautiful eyes were all sharp. She stared at Gu Qingzhou and Huo Yue who talked with him.
She reclined on the stone chair, a section of beautiful white slender legs, stretched out from under the cheongsam, the waist is particularly enchanting, and the eyebrows are dark with some charming.
"Oh, it's her." Gu Qingzhou smiled and shouted, "aunt!"
It is Mei Ying, Huo Yue's concubine, who stares at Gu Qingzhou, letting her eyes pierce her back.
When Gu Qingzhou went to the door to see a doctor before, Mei Ying said a lot of words to stop her. Gu Qingzhou didn't care. At that time, I was not very comfortable. I forgot later. After all, Mei Ying was also concerned about Huo Yue.
But Mei Ying was always on her mind.
She looked at the light boat in the eyes, which showed that it could not understand the strange, as if it was an intruder.
Where is the invasion?
Isn't Aunt worried that Gu Qingzhou robbed Huo Yue and won her favor?
She did not know that she was the brigadier's daughter-in-law of the governor and the fiancee of Sima?
It's a bit of a mystery.
Mei Ying's hostility made Gu Qingzhou confused.
"Miss Gu, I haven't seen you for many days." Aunt heard Gu Qingzhou call her, slowly stood up, squint long beautiful eyes a turn, has been the charming style, far answer Gu Qingzhou.
She came to Gu's boat.
Huo Yue had something to go out and had already left by car.
Mrs. Mei is coming to Gu Qingzhou. Gu Qingzhou can't leave without permission, which is not polite.
She stood there waiting for Mei Ying.
Mei Ying is a small half of the hostess of the Huo mansion. Gu Qingzhou is not polite to her, so she has provocative elements, which is called Mei Ying's misunderstanding.
She didn't want to be misunderstood.
When I come to the Huo mansion, I am calm and don't need to cover anything.
And Mei Ying's hostility, Gu Qingzhou also see very light, she does not care about the stranger's view.
Mei Ying is wearing a soft silk cheongsam with graceful steps.
"Miss Gu, do you come to see the master or the eldest lady?" Mei Ying asked with a smile.
Meiying usually calls Huo Fengjing a Jing. But in front of outsiders, she seems to respect Huo Fengjing very much. She directly calls her "eldest Miss".
Gu Qingzhou treats Mei Ying as a small half of the hostess. In fact, she is highly praised. Huo Yue and Huo Fengjing have never thought of this.
In the eyes of the Huo family, Mei Ying is only the daughter of the Huo yue'en people. Huo Yue attaches great importance to affection and righteousness, and gives her a status and identity of accommodation.
She is not the woman of Huo Yue.
Huo Fengjing is a young lady. She invites her friends to make up lessons. She can't support her brother's concubine.
It's not her sister-in-law.
Mei Ying really didn't know the intention of taking care of the boat. She only thought that taking care of the boat was a regular guest.
"I came to see ah Jing." Gu Qingzhou's eyes are soft, tender and harmless, not aggressive.
The 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's arm and wanted to go with him to see Huo Fujing.
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 strangers to cling to their skin like this. Gu Qingzhou made a little effort, took out his arm and stroked his hair, pretending to be a little bit away from Mei Ying.
"Is the eldest lady ill?" Mei Ying asked, and was also annoyed at Gu Qingzhou's taking out his arm. Did you think I would stick to you!
She treated Gu Qingzhou as a doctor.
"No, ah Jing is about to return to school. I'll accompany her to review her lessons." Gu said.
Mei YingYuan's smooth eyes rolled down in his eyes. His mood could not be covered: "review?"
This aunt was born in Huanchang, and she was very good at intrigue and treachery. She was alert to others with three points. Gu Qingzhou's words have been in her heart for hundreds of times.
Come to review your lessons?
That's not a day or two to review. Gu will stay at Huo's for a long time!
"Is it going to take a long time to review?" she said
"About twenty days." Take care of the boat Road, then pretend to be confused, stop and look at her.
My aunt was shocked.
Twenty days!
Does not huoyue often see her?
"Miss Gu, you go first, I think the kitchen also stewed bird's nest, I go to see the fire, servants are always clumsy."
"Then I'll go first." Gu Xiaozhou smiles and waves goodbye to his aunt.
Looking at her back, Mei Ying's expression became more and more gloomy.
Mei Ying is nearly twenty-seven years old. She hates young girls. She is full of scheming, but people only think of them as naive.
The younger the girls are, the more hard they work to hook up with men. If they fail, there will be a cover up. People only think they don't understand.
Aunt snow white long fingers, tightly clenched up, fingernails almost to pierce the palm.
"It seems that I have something to do in advance." Miss may thought.
Gu Qingzhou's eyebrows also frown.
Walking slowly all the way, Gu Qingzhou arrived at Huo Fengjing's yard with a thin sweat.
The maid is ready for warm water.
"I used to think you would have arrived half an hour earlier." Huo said, "is the driver slack?"
"That's not true. I just met Mr. Huo at the door and my aunt." Gu Qingzhou road.
Huo said nothing more.
Open the textbook, they first reviewed the Bible.
Half an hour later, the maid came in with tea and reminded them, "Miss Gu, take a rest."
Huo won't go in. She was relieved when she heard the words. The young girl's charming and simple show was all over the place.
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 asked Huo: "ah Jing, how many years has your aunt been in the house?"
Huo doesn't like Mei Ying very much. He is surprised at her. He doesn't expect Gu Qingzhou to talk about her.
After thinking about it, Huo said: "four or five years. My elder brother took me out of the orphanage. When I got home, I heard from the servant that she had been an aunt for a year or two. "
Huo's loneliness is only to strangers.
She has been familiar with Gu Qingzhou for a long time. She trusts her so much that she can't shut the box.
She told Gu about the relationship between Huo Yue and Mei Ying, and even about her own life experience.
"... Huo's family is a famous family in Northern Jiangsu. I was a girl who danced with my father when he came to Yuecheng. Before I was born, my father was pulled back by his wife. He was not allowed to socialize again.
My mom didn't save any money. She was not nice to meet people. Later, she couldn't pay the rent. When she was ill, she left her family rations to me. She died of starvation.
It was winter when she died. I was only two years old. It's said that she died for five days, and I slept on her chest. The landlord came to ask for debts and found us.
The landlord's conscience found that he donated several yuan, gave me to the orphanage, and buried my mother in a thin coffin.
My father was taken home and died within half a year. His wife was also ill, like a plague. That lady is my brother's mom.
My parents died. My elder brother is only ten years old. He lives in the family. However, the uncles of the clan were so ruthless that they robbed his family property and said they wanted to raise him in the clan.
After a few years, I didn't give my brother food because of the business difficulties. My elder brother can't stand idleness. At the age of 15, he ran to Yuecheng from home.
When he first arrived in Yuecheng, he was young, penniless, unable to do heavy work, light and light, almost starved to death on the street. It was Mrs. Mei's father who saved my elder brother and pasted some pancakes on him.
My elder brother couldn't find a way from the age of 15 to 17. Today, he is a gangster here. Tomorrow, he is a gangster there. He has no fixed number. He is often hungry, so he goes to the pancake making stall of Mei's family.
Mei's uncle is a solid man. He has a hard life. His wife died and he has only one daughter. He doesn't earn a lot of money in the stall every day. He also sticks to my brother to eat.
Meiying was not old at that time. When she saw my brother, she always went to eat and beat him with the iron stick. Once in the summer, it was a fierce fight. My elder brother was beaten to the skin and flesh by her. He had a high fever and almost died.
Since then, my elder brother never dares to go to Mei's stall to eat. Later, he fawns on the Green Gang and starts to eat.
My elder brother is smart and has the ability to do things. He has done it slowly. The leader likes him very much. In the past ten years, he has become the leader himself.
However, he has always disliked Meiying. If it was not for the deathbed entrustment of Meijia uncle, let my elder brother give Meiying a bite to eat, my elder brother would not accept her. "
Huo said with a quiet breath.
When she spoke, Gu Qingzhou did not disturb her, but drank juice in silence.
The red watermelon juice dyed her soft lips bright and bright.
After listening to this, Gu understood why Mei Ying was so defensive against other women!
She must know in her heart that Huo Yue will never love her, but only a little kindness to her.
In the future, if a woman comes in, she will be completely overwhelmed. Her kindness is not the foundation of her foothold. She needs to be humble to continue to live in the Huo family.
And Mei Ying, who is well-off, doesn't want to flatter another woman.
Even a little girl like Gu Qingzhou, she has to be on guard.
What Mei Ying is fighting for is not so-called love, but the status of existence.
The struggle for existence is cruel and fierce.
Knowing this, Gu Qingzhou thought that she should be careful not to follow Mrs. Mei's way.
Since Mrs. Mei believes that Gu Qingzhou is an intruder, she will set her hand on Gu Qingzhou.
"It's her father, not her, who is kind to Mr. Huo." Gu Qingzhou murmured.
Huo immediately introduced her as a confidant: "that's exactly what I said. You don't know how much she went too far. Last year, something happened. I still care about it! "
"What's the matter?" Asked Gu Qingzhou.
