Chapter 6: wishful thinking

Qin Zhengzheng sat downstairs, staring at the stairs from time to time, anxious: "What are they talking about upstairs?"

She was afraid that things might change.

At the same time, Qin Zhengzheng also felt that his worries were unnecessary.

The Overseer's wife has repeatedly stated that talented women like Gu Xiang are qualified to be the future mistress of the Overseer's House.

Gu Qingzhou is a country girl, with a dozen years of old covenant, who will look down on her?

The Overseer's House can't afford to lose this man!

"Hanghang is tall and beautiful, she studied in the UK at the age of thirteen, and returned after four years. A real British lady, what qualifications does that country girl have to compare with Hwanghang?" Thinking of this, Qin Zhengzheng was full of confidence and comfortably leaned on the soft sofa. , waiting for a message.

An hour later, Gu Qingzhou and the Overseer's wife went downstairs.

They both had smiles on their faces.

The governor's wife has deep eyebrows and eyes, and her smile is somewhat inexplicable, which Qin Zhengzheng can't understand; while Gu Qingzhou's smile is light and pretty, like an innocent girl with a candy man.

Qin Zhengzheng stood up and wanted to see how they were talking, but couldn't see the clue.

If it is negotiated, Gu Qingzhou should be disappointed and sad; if it is not negotiated, the Overseer's wife should be angry.

In the end, they both wore demure smiles, which made Qin Zhengzheng puzzled.

what happened?

"Go back first, I have a dance the day after tomorrow, you must come." The governor's wife gently took Gu Qingzhou's hand and sent her to the door.

"Yes." Gu Qingzhou smiled, his eyes shattered, innocent and simple.

Madam Overseer bit her lower lip lightly, the corners of her eyes twitching slightly.

Qin Zhengzheng looked confused.

After leaving the governor's mansion, Qin Zhengzheng couldn't wait to ask Gu Qingzhou: "What, what did you say to the governor's wife?"

Gu Qingzhou thought for a while, and said, "Just say some commonplace words..."

"What about resigning from relatives?" Qin Zhengzheng asked, pretending to be casual, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Qingzhou.

"Madam said that she will hold a dance the day after tomorrow, and when all relatives and friends come, she will announce something very important." Gu Qingzhou said.

Qin Zhengzheng breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed.

She sat upright.

Qin Zhengzheng and the warden's wife are also old acquaintances.

Gu Qingzhou's biological mother was named Sun Qiluo, and Qin Zhengzheng was the cousin of the Sun family. After her parents died, she defected to the Sun family.

The Overseer's wife's name is Cai Jingshu. She lived next door to Sun's house when she was a child. Sun Qiluo often takes care of her. She has a good relationship with Sun Qiluo.

Later, the old man of the Sun family was the mediator and married Cai Jingshu to the superintendent, who was a small police officer at the time.

At that time, the original wife of the governor in the countryside died, and there was a three-year-old son. Cai Jingshu was reluctant. It was Mr. Sun who said that the future of the governor was unlimited.

It is precisely because of this that the commander-in-chief is still grateful to Mr. Sun and refuses to give up Mr. Sun's granddaughter, Gu Qingzhou.

The Overseer's wife and Sun Qiluo have had a good relationship since childhood. Sun Qiluo is a generous person who always buys clothes and jewelry for the Overseer's wife.

Qin Zhengzheng became Sun Qiluo's husband's outer chamber, and the governor's wife was also annoyed.

But more than ten years have passed, and the Overseer's wife is not the same Cai Jingshu. She even hated the engagement, which ruined her son's marriage, and thus hated Sun Qiluo, who had been dead for many years.

In the second year of the Overseer's wife marrying the Overseer, she gave birth to a son.

That son was the Second Young Master Si, Gu Qingzhou's fiancé.

However, soon the Second Young Master Si was not Gu Qingzhou's fiance, but Gu Xiang's fiance and Qin Zhengzheng's son-in-law.

Qin Zhengzheng smiled smugly and thought to himself, "There are already some rumors outside, saying that the second young marshal has engaged in a marriage, and it cannot be concealed.

When the Overseer's wife held a dance, she must be in front of everyone, so that they could see the ugly state of the country girl and announce her retirement! "

Thinking of this, Qin Zhengzheng imagined that Gu Qingzhou was going to the dance for the first time the day after tomorrow, and he was so stupid that he was in a hurry; and when the governor's wife announced her retirement, everyone's ridicule, Gu Qingzhou's embarrassment, Qin Zhengzheng almost laughed out loud.

"Perhaps, the Overseer's wife will take the opportunity to announce once again that Hwang is the second young marshal's new fiancee?" Qin Zhengzheng thought beautifully.

She was going to add a few more sets of clothes and jewelry for Gu Xiang to make Gu Xiang look radiant.

Qin Zhengzheng glanced at Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou sat quietly, eyebrows lowered. Her face was hidden in the shadows, showing no joy or sorrow.

"As a countryman, you should marry a peasant. If you want to marry a powerful family, it is too delusional. People should know their own weight." Qin Zhengzheng thought.

She won't tell Gu Qingzhou these words, and now Qin Zhengzheng is still acting as a loving mother.

When returning to Gu's mansion, Gu Qingzhou said softly downstairs, "Madam, I'll go upstairs first."

Her name is Mrs. Qin Zhengzheng is too lazy to refute.

In Qin Zhengzheng's heart, Gu Qingzhou is really inferior to her family's servant, and her status is too low!

Gu Qingzhou went upstairs, while Qin Zhengzheng's eldest daughter, Gu Xiang, hurried downstairs.

"Mum, how's it going?" Gu Zhang nervously asked her mother, "Have you retired?"

Qin Zhengzheng pursed her lips and smiled.

Gu Zhang understood, and was immediately overjoyed, his heart fell.

Qin Zhengzheng is also in a good mood, and the stagnation of the third child's injury last night has been swept away.

"...Then, when will the Overseer's Mansion be engaged to me?" Gu Zhang asked again.

Qin Zhengzheng likes to show majesty in front of her daughter. She is sure to take her guess as a fact and say to Gu Zhang, "The day after tomorrow!"

Full of confidence.

Gu Zhang covered his lips, but he couldn't suppress the scream of surprise.

She will soon be the best.

"Mom, I'm going to buy clothes, go to Xinxin Department Store to buy a fur!" Gu Zhang excitedly said, "I also want to get my hair done."

Xinxin Department Store is a medium-sized department store with more domestic products.

"What are you going to go to, you should go to Daxin!" Qin Zheng said, "Russian fur from Daxin Department Store is the best."

The price of fur in Daxin Department Store is at least ten times that of Xinxin.

Gu Zhang had never imagined that he would buy such expensive clothes. Although her father was the deputy chief of the General Administration of Customs, he was extremely rich, but he had a large family to support, too expensive luxuries, so don't even think about it.

"Mum, you are so kind!" Gu Zhang hugged Qin Zhengzheng in excitement.

Both mother and daughter were a little excited.

In the evening, Qin Zhengzheng also told Gu Guizhang about it.

Gu Guizhang didn't say anything.

One daughter fell, the other stood up, and his status remained the same. Anyway, he didn't care because he had many daughters.

At dinner, Gu Qingzhou ate quietly, didn't speak, and looked well-behaved, but he was also very endearing.

The next day, Gu Zhang got up early in the morning and was going to visit Daxin Department Store with Qin Zhengzheng.

Gu Guizhang, Gu Shao, Gu Ying, Gu Qingzhou and their two concubines were sitting in the dining room for dinner. When they heard Gu Zhang say that they were going to Daxin Department Store to buy fur, several women were not very natural, except Gu Qingzhou.

They also wanted to add fur, and they were very jealous when they heard that.

Especially the second concubine, who looked at Gu Guizhang sadly.

"Mom, I'm going too!" Gu Ying, the fourth child, remembered that she didn't remember to beat her. She had forgotten about her stabbing the third child, so she acted coquettishly and pulled Qin Zhengzheng's hand.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Zhengzheng shook off the fourth child's hand, "I don't think I've caused enough trouble for me! Your eldest sister will be the young lady of the Governor's House in the future. Why do you want such expensive clothes?"

Everyone stopped their chopsticks and looked at Qin Zhengzheng, especially Gu Guizhang's two concubines, with jealous eyes.

Humph, to take away the marriage of the daughter of the original wife in the countryside, yet so proud, shameless!

Gu Qingzhou lowered his head and slowly drank the porridge, his face expressionless.

The second aunt looked at Gu Qingzhou and thought: "Poor, this child in the countryside has never seen the world and doesn't know the status of the governor's mansion. Otherwise, such a good marriage will be robbed, why would he cry to death!"

When everyone had their own thoughts, the people from the Overseer's Palace came.

Here comes the lieutenant of the Overseer's wife.

"Madam asked me to send Miss Gu a dress, which will be worn at the dance tomorrow night, don't bother Mrs. Gu to buy it." The adjutant of the Overseer's Mansion said.

Qin Zhengzheng smiled wide-eyed.

Gu Zhang was overjoyed, thinking that her mother-in-law would really love her in the future, so she reached out to pick it up: "There is Adjutant Lao."

The adjutant turned away from her.

"It's not for you, Miss, it's for Miss Qingzhou." The adjutant said.

I don't know who, the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table with a crisp sound.

Everyone was shocked, and their eyes were all focused on Gu Qingzhou.

Didn't she quit her relatives? Why did Mrs. Overseer send her clothes?

Gu Qingzhou also raised her eyes when she heard the words. She looked at everyone, her eyes were calm like water waves, she stood up without shame, took the clothes from the adjutant's hand, and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
