Chapter 20: Seize the opportunity

Gu Xiang slandered Gu Qingzhou's dress up and Gu Qingzhou's old-fashioned appearance, which was really ridiculous.

As for Gu Zhang himself, he wore a light red low-slit cheongsam of Su embroidered Begonia, glass socks, and a pair of short boots with deerskin and white fox fur. On the outside was a large fur coat, yellow mink fur, Russian goods, on the surface. The black circle can ripple, fashionable and noble.

This kind of fur is suitable for women of all ages, the older ones have the grace of the older ones, and the girls have the wildness of the girls. In short, they set off their noble status.

Compared with Gu Huang's magnificent suit, Gu Qingzhou's old-fashioned satin cloak looks tacky and cheap.

Gu Hao sneered disdainfully: "If you want to compare yourself with me, you must wear fur first before you are qualified!"

Thinking of the price of this fur, Gu Zhang felt a sense of superiority for no reason.

Yes, she will always press Gu Qingzhou's head, which is beyond Gu Qingzhou's reach.

Qin Zhengzheng also felt that Gu Xiang compared Gu Qingzhou to nothing, and smiled slightly.

Furs are so beautiful. Qin Zhengzheng wanted to wear noble furs the most when he was a child. Unfortunately, he was poor at that time and depended on others, so he could only watch Gu Qingzhou's mother Sun Qiluo wear it.

Now, it was Gu Qingzhou who saw Qin Zhengzheng's daughter wearing it. Sure enough, the retribution was unhappy. Qin Zhengzheng's bad anger finally revealed a bit.

"Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi!" Qin Zhengzheng exhaled coldly, "I think back then when I was fostered in the Sun family, that **** Sun Qiluo was dazzling in front of me in luxurious clothes all day long. Now, it's her daughter's turn to be greedy, and sure enough It's God who opened his eyes."

Qin Zhengzheng's childish and ridiculous vanity was greatly satisfied.

Qin Zhengzheng and Gu Zhang were in a good mood, Gu Qingzhou lowered his eyes and got into the car together.

The third wife Susu stood in her room on the second floor, leaning against the dark green flannel curtains, slowly playing with the thick tassels of the curtains, smoothing them one by one, and messing them up again and again.

Seeing Qin Zhengzheng take the children out with her own eyes, the third concubine shook her head and smiled.

The Gu family had a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old maid, who was brought over by the third concubine Susu, called Miaoer.

Miao'er asked the third concubine: "what is the concubine laughing at?"

The third concubine pursed her lips, pointed to the direction the car was going, and said, "Laugh at them being stupid!"

"Who is stupid?"

"Naturally, some two are self-righteous." The third wife said, "Most of the old people's eyes are old-fashioned. If the two young ladies wear fur, the old lady will not say anything. But Qingzhou is wearing a slanted cardigan, She is still wearing fur, so she will definitely be disliked by Mrs. Si."

"That's right, the old people are not used to young girls who perm their hair and wear fur." ​​Miao'er said with a smile.

The third aunt smiled even more.

"Sister, the new Miss Qingzhou doesn't say a word, but she looks amazing, doesn't she? She has only been back for a few days, and the wife, the eldest, the third and the fourth have all suffered." Miao'er whispered.

In private, Miaoer still calls Sanyitai "sister".

Miaoer was an orphan. When she was five years old, she was begging on the side of the road and was almost beaten to death by other beggars. The fourteen-year-old beggar at the time protected her, and the two lived on each other from then on.

That big beggar is Susu.

Susu grew up later, and begging was not a long-term solution, so she entered the dance hall and became a dancer. It's a pity that she wanders all the year round, her wheat-colored skin makes her look unremarkable, and her business is ordinary.

Then he met Gu Guizhang, got the favor of Gu Guizhang, was hidden by the golden house, and became the concubine of the Gu family.

Su Su entered Gu's house and still took Miao'er with them. The two sisters never separated.

"Yeah." Su Su's eyes narrowed and she said quietly, "Qingzhou is not easy, I really like her!"

"Sister, if we join forces with Miss Qingzhou, is there any hope of revenge?" Miao'er asked.

Su Su hurriedly glared at her, her voice inaudible: "Shh, be careful that the walls have ears."

Miao'er quickly covered her mouth, opened her eyes, and looked at Su Su innocently.

Gu Qingzhou followed her stepmother and sister out. The car drove into the thicker and thicker rain curtain. The wipers whipped up showers of rain, and the raindrops outside the car window fell to the ground like blooming transparent flowers.

The parents and brothers of the governor do not live in the governor's mansion, but in a high-end French-style mansion in the French Concession.

The company's mansion is a huge garden house. The high red walls are covered with rose vines, which are bare in the twelfth moon;

The servant opened the door.

Gu Qingzhou held an umbrella by himself, Qin Zhengzheng and Gu Zhang held an umbrella together, got off the car and entered the company's mansion.

"Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu, please come here." The servant came out to greet them, and specially led the way for the mother and daughter.

The marble paved path was a little slippery on rainy days, and Gu Qingzhou walked very slowly. On both sides of the path are dwarf holly trees, which have been washed by the rain and are particularly clean.

After bypassing two small buildings, we arrived at Mrs. Si's yard.

Mrs. Si's yard is at the back. It is an exquisite old-fashioned courtyard with three main rooms and four small side rooms. Although the carved window lattices are replaced by glass, the old-fashioned bright angle lamps in the house are actually equipped with light bulbs, and everything still maintains its simplicity.

"Why are there so many people?" As soon as he entered the door, Gu Zhang could not help frowning when he saw the crowds in the main hall.

A lot of people are present, and it's a little difficult to use their hands and feet.

"Why doesn't she give us a chance to be alone every time the Overseer's wife calls us here?" Gu Zhang was annoyed.

She noticed that the Overseer's wife was playing with them, but Gu Xiang and Qin Zhengzheng had plans, so they could only play the Overseer's wife around.

The maid who led the way explained: "The old lady fell ill again in the early hours of last night. The doctor hired a room. Mrs. Gu and Miss Gu are here."

With that said, the three of them were led into the small room where the guests were entertained.

"When will the old lady meet us?" Gu Zhang asked the maid.

The maid smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll see you soon."

"Is the old lady okay?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

"There is a doctor, Miss Gu has a heart." The maid smiled.

After the maid ordered tea, she went into the main hall by herself, greeted the Overseer's wife, and said that the Gu family had come.

The rain outside the house hadn't subsided. The stove was burned inside, and the flames were warm. Gu Qingzhou held the tea and took a few sips slowly, looking over the window lattice and cast into the main hall outside.

Qin Zhengzheng and Gu Zhang murmured and bit their ears, but Gu Qingzhou was not interested either.

After about two cups of tea, Si Qiongzhi, the third young lady of the governor's mansion, came in and said to Qin Zhengzheng with a smile, "Mrs. Gu, my grandmother said she wanted to see you, come with me."

Si Qiongzhi was demure and gentle, and seemed to be in harmony, but in fact he didn't like Gu Qingzhou and Gu Huang, and without looking at them, he led him through the corridor to the main room.

Gu Zhang took a few steps forward and squeezed Gu Qingzhou behind him.

"I'm so beautiful and decent. After the old lady saw me for the first time, I'm afraid she won't be able to like Gu Qingzhou anymore." Gu Zhang is very confident.

Qin Zhengzheng was also slightly unblocked by Gu Qingzhou.

So, Gu Qingzhou was pushed to the back, her lips moved slightly, and she didn't mind, but followed silently.

The old lady was lying in the back, Mrs. Si was waiting in front of the bed, the commander-in-chief was standing by and talking, and the rest of the Si family were entertaining the doctor in the main hall.

Madam Si leaned on the lead pillow and sat halfway.

Si Qiongzhi came in with the people from the Gu family, Gu Huang squeezed in front, and couldn't wait to shout, "Old Madam!"
