Chapter 4: disagree

Gu Qingzhou slept beautifully.

In the early morning of the next day, the dawn was faint, and Gu Qingzhou woke up. She sat in front of the old-fashioned rosewood dresser and opened the glass window to see the tall plane trees in the courtyard.

In the twelfth lunar month, the green leaves of the plane trees have fallen, and the qiu branches are bare, lingering in the mist of the morning light, as if they had approved a piece of veil, like a graceful fairy.

Gu Qingzhou cut her hair to the mirror. In the western mirror, she had rosy and tender cheeks, pure and clear eyes, and she was innocent and innocent at the age of sixteen years. This was the best disguise.

The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she went downstairs after combing her braids.

The servants have prepared rice porridge, fried steamed buns, flower rolls and chicken noodle soup.

No one got up yet, she was the first.

Gu Qingzhou sat at the dining table and slowly ate the noodles. When she was about to finish eating, her stepmother Qin Zhengzheng went downstairs.

Qin Zhengzheng had a tired face and didn't sleep all night.

"Did you freak out last night?" Qin Zhengzheng comforted Gu Qingzhou, which was what Gu Guizhang meant.

Gu Guizhang lost his temper last night, scolding the third and fourth for being ignorant, saying that Qin Zhengzheng didn't teach them well, which frightened Gu Qingzhou.

Qin Zhengzheng was very angry, but her daughter was injured, how could Gu Qingzhou be frightened? But she did not dare to disobey her husband, and patiently listened to her husband's teaching.

Then, Gu Guizhang also asked Qin Zhengzheng to appease Gu Qingzhou, so as not to worry about her, Qin Zhengzheng said yes.

"Yeah. Gu Qingzhou put down his chopsticks and said in a soft voice, "There is a lot of blood, Miss San must be in pain..."

Still she is sensible!

Qin Zhengzheng liked Gu Qingzhou's attitude and said, "That's your third sister, don't be so polite."

Having said that, Qin Zhengzheng is still very useful, she just likes the daughter of her original wife to be so low and small.

After a simple chat at breakfast, Qin Zhengzheng brought two sets of dresses upstairs after eating.

Today, Qin Zhengzheng is going to take Gu Qingzhou to the military governor's mansion and withdraw from the marriage.

"I can't wait, is it the young marshal of the military governor's mansion who fell in love with Gu Xiang?" Gu Qingzhou thought while trying on clothes.

Otherwise, why would the stepmother be so eager to help her retire?

If you don't retire, the Gu family is a relative of the military governor's house, and the benefits are even greater.

The father and stepmother, who could not afford to be too early, hurried to pick up Gu Qingzhou, naturally not for Gu Qingzhou.

In this family, the third and fourth are too arrogant and underage. Only the eldest, Gu Xiang, is beautiful and elegant, and may be able to climb the ranks of the boss and the young marshal.

Gu Qingzhou thought in his heart, without showing any sign on his face.

"The pink set looks good!" Qin Zheng said.

Qin Zhengzheng took two sets of dresses, one was light pink straight, and the other was sky blue with a waist.

The quality of both sets of fabrics is below average.

The light pink set is undoubtedly bloated and rigid when worn on the body and the nightgown; while the sky blue set makes Gu Qingzhou very light and pretty.

Qin Zhengzheng didn't want to look good on Qingzhou, so he chose light pink.

Gu Qingzhou smiled, obeyed Qin Zhengzheng's meaning, and wore that embarrassing light pink suit.

After she put it on, the two braids slanted down to the side of her face, and the black background made her skin snowy, bright as ink, old-fashioned but agile, not particularly ugly.

"Country girls are all tanned, how can this girl be raised to be white and tender, like tofu?" Qin Zhengzheng scolded, a little jealous.

Gu Qingzhou is young, his skin is so tender that he can pinch out of the water, and he has a pair of big innocent eyes, which are especially painful, Qin Zhengzheng is angry!

Qin Zhengzheng hopes that Gu Qingzhou is an ugly girl or has a naughty personality, which is much easier to deal with.

At nine o'clock, Qin Zhengzheng took Gu Qingzhou out to the governor's mansion.

When getting off the car, Gu Qingzhou suddenly took out a light pink ribbon from his pocket and tied a delicate bow on his waist.

Ordinary dresses can't tell her figure, so wearing half an inch like this adds a bit of grace, and adds a bit of grace to her young and slender figure.

Qin Zhengzheng was stunned for a moment, but he was about to pull it down immediately, and said with a cold face: "What nonsense is this, it's nondescript, and it's a shame for the Gu family!"

Naturally, it's not that she is afraid of losing face, but that Gu Qingzhou has such a waist, and the dress shows her exquisite figure, as delicate as a snow doll, very cute, Qin Zhengzheng is afraid that Si Jiazhen has a crush on her.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhengzheng was surprised that this country girl knew how to dress fashionably.

Gu Qingzhou squinted at her, can't the loving mother's face fit anymore?

"I like this." Gu Qingzhou was soft and waxy, as if Qin Zhengzheng said one more word, she was about to cry.

Qin Zhengzheng didn't want Gu Qingzhou to cry. When she cried, the governor's wife might pity her, and her resignation was full of twists and turns.

"...As you like!" Qin Zhengzheng stopped and went to knock on the door. Having arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Qin Zhengzheng had to endure it because he couldn't teach the children at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

She felt that she was being put together by Gu Qingzhou.

The Overseer's Mansion is located in the west of the city, with a sentry building at the entrance, three steps, one post, five steps and one post, and the guards are heavily guarded.

The big iron gate with tangled branches was very high, and it took a long time for the adjutant to run over to open the door.

Gu Qingzhou successfully entered the governor's mansion.

She met the Overseer's Lady in the hall.

The Overseer's wife was wearing a short brown fur with a moon-white embroidered cheongsam inside. Glass socks wrapped around her slender, rounded calves. She had a small face with snow-like skin, and the years showed no traces on her face.

"...You really look like your mother." The Overseer's wife was stunned, and then the corners of her eyes became hot.

This is the daughter of the deceased, and the Overseer's wife made an appearance of mercy.

"Madam." Gu Qingzhou called her crisply, her voice pure and crisp.

The Overseer's wife nodded.

Qin Zhengzheng stood by to help and said, "The light boat only arrived yesterday, and I'm here to see my wife today. This child is filial and courteous!"

"Yes." The Overseer's wife was satisfied.

After saying a few words, Qin Zhengzheng turned the topic to quitting the kiss.

Gu Qingzhou glanced at the elegant and luxurious lady of the Overseer and said softly, "Madam, can I have a private chat with you?"

The Overseer's wife and Qin Zhengzheng were both stunned.

"Okay, you go upstairs with me." The Overseer's wife smiled and agreed.

Qin Zhengzheng was surprised and wanted to stop it.

But the commander's wife's eyes were gentle but dignified, and Qin Zhengzheng didn't dare to lose his sense.

Gu Qingzhou followed the Overseer's wife to the second floor.

The small living room on the second floor has a set of leather sofas, two hollowed-out carved chairs, and a pair of Indian tapestries hanging with rich fringes. The whole room is luxurious in Baroque style.

The Overseer's wife asked Gu Qingzhou to sit.

Gu Qingzhou sat on the sofa beside the Overseer's wife.

Her small hands are slender and white, as tender as bamboo shoots, folded and placed on her knees at will, with a dignified and charming manner.

The Overseer's wife was a little surprised: this child doesn't look like a countryman, and with such an elegant posture, he looks like a lady from a noble family.

"I don't agree to withdraw from relatives." Gu Qingzhou's voice was soft, like the mist in the forest, coming out gracefully.

Madam Overseer was not prepared for what she said, and was stunned for a moment.

"You...disagree?" The Overseer's wife was stunned. "Do you know who you're talking to?"

This little girl was not as shy as she was when she first met her, and her clear eyes also had a bit of warmth, as if a cunning light flashed.

The Overseer's wife froze.

This is a bit shameless!

How can a local girl who has been raised in the country since she was a child be worthy of her precious son?
