Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 80 Opportunity
Caiyi's death was like a stone thrown into the lake, although there were ripples, it was only a small circle, and calmness returned after a while.

Died in dystocia, and was a concubine, so naturally she is not qualified to be buried in Gu Yongzu's grave.Gu Yong built a grave for Caiyi at the foot of the shortest hill outside the city.A thin coffin, buried.Even the tombstone is the cheapest sand and stone, and it simply says "The Tomb of Caiyi" on it.

Originally, Gu Yong wanted to write an epitaph to commemorate his beloved concubine, but he stayed in the back study for half a day and couldn't write a complete sentence. Later, he was lured to Muchun Courtyard by Hu Wanwan, Naturally, this matter was put aside, and only the mason was asked to carve the words "Tomb of Caiyi" on the tomb.

Afterwards, Gu Sixiao cleaned up the back study and stared at the three words on the paper, but felt desolate and unable to be herself.

"Autumn Rain Sadness——Autumn Rain Sadness, Autumn Rain Sadness..."

She still remembered that it was also raining the night she died. Although it was the end of summer, it was really cold, just like the night Caiyi died.

But in just one year, she has seen too many deaths.

Weary, unable to eat, although she knew that this was just the beginning, she wanted revenge, and what she would experience in the future might be even more tragic than this.But even though she knew it well, she still couldn't suppress the gloom.

Especially when she found out that no one in the Gu family took Caiyi's death seriously, she felt that a heavy stone was placed on her heart.

If one day, she also dies quietly like Caiyi, probably no one will shed tears or be sad for her, right? !

No, no, at least she still has Tiancang and Master, they will definitely cry for her.

In the dead of night, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, so she got up and went out of the back study, and walked slowly along the stone path to the bamboo forest.

In the distance, I saw a cluster of flames, faint and eerie in the autumn night.

She paused, tightened her collar, and walked over boldly, only to hear someone whispering.

"Caiyi, don't blame me, I really didn't know that giving birth to a child would kill someone—my mother also gave birth to six or seven children, and although there were some who couldn't raise them, they didn't die like you. No... No, I don't blame you for your death, I mean, I told my wife about your childbirth, but she didn't ask for a doctor, so I can't blame me..."

Whispering in a low voice, Wanrou's eyes wandered, and she glanced to the side from time to time, "I will burn paper money for you now, you can buy whatever you want, live a good life, don't come to me again... ah..."

With a scream, Wanrou jumped up and turned to look into the shadow that made the noise. After seeing the person coming, she couldn't help but panic, "What are you doing? Huaer, you want to scare people to death!"

Patting her chest, she shouted angrily: "You're happy because you scared me to death, aren't you? I knew you hated me because of Caiyi!"

"Who said I hate you?" Gu Sixiao replied lightly, stepped out of the shadows, looked at Wanrou's shocked and angry face, and suddenly felt that the stone in her heart was loosened.

Squatting by the fire, she grabbed a handful of paper money and threw it into the fire.

After she gave her a blank look, Wanrou also squatted down, picked up the fire stick beside her and started a fire, "Actually, I really don't blame me..."

"You can't sleep at night? Did you dream about Caiyi?" Gu Sixiao asked directly after stopping Wanrou's words.

Wanrou's complexion changed slightly, a little embarrassed and resentful, "I didn't kill her!"

After yelling, she flinched back, "Ru, if I knew she was really going to die, I begged my wife, I really didn't know she was going to die..."

"She didn't get through it herself," Gu Sixiao said in a low voice, her expression looked a little numb under the light of the fire, "She wouldn't have done this, if she hadn't hooked up with Gu Yong like that, she should have left the Gu family If she didn't want to climb high, want to be a concubine, and commit herself to others, she would still be alive now. Taking ten thousand steps back, if she is good, she doesn't waste her body so badly, and no one else can take advantage of it machine……"

Without looking at Wanrou's strange eyes, Gu Sixiao was almost talking to herself: "Caiyi's death can only be blamed on herself..."

Don't blame Wanrou, don't blame her——

Yes, don't blame her!

The stone that has been pressing on my heart was originally called guilt.

She felt that it was her contribution that caused everything now, but even without her, wouldn't Caiyi think about being a concubine, seduce Gu Yong, or compete for favor with others?
Everything will remain as it is now, nothing has changed.

Standing up, Gu Sixiao looked at Wanrou and was able to laugh, "Sister Wanrou, go back, get a good sleep, and forget everything the next day."

Only by forgetting can we live better.

It's a pity that even if she understands the truth, there are some things that she will never forget in her whole life.

Putting aside the short-term weakness, Gu Sixiao returned to her usual calmness.

Taking care of the back study, making fans, and occasionally doing some chores according to my mother's orders, my life is so ordinary that there is no change.

But her calmness made Hu Wanwan a little uneasy.

Occasionally, Hu Wanwan would quietly observe the little girl who always had a smile on her face.But no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see what the girl was thinking.

That day, this girl heard what Caiyi said.After Caiyi died, she stood in the yard and yelled loudly. She thought that this girl would say what Caiyi said, and tell everyone that Caiyi's death was caused by her hands and feet.

However, it is strange that this painting has remained silent like this, and has remained silent all this time.

The more silent she is, the more flustered she becomes, worrying that this girl will tell the story at some point, or is she trying to get some benefits from her?But why has there been no movement?

A little restless, Hu Wanwan tentatively joked with Gu Yong, "I see Hua'er, that girl is really loyal and smart, why don't we ask her to marry Zhenniang as a dowry? It's also good to help... "

Although someone died just now, a concubine can't miss any big things. Although there is no formal engagement, Zhenniang's marriage is almost the same. She has settled in a family of Xinglin in the town. It is said that the future uncle will also be born with a good appearance. , and he is a doctor, he will be hired in half a year at most.

She was just probing, but Gu Yong frowned, "Why do you marry? Her fan-making skills are comparable to five or six girls! If she is married, who will make the fan? Didn't I tell you, In summer, my friends all chased me for fans!"

Speaking of this, Gu Yong felt a little resentful again, "The lady is too, what kind of marriage was set for Zhenniang! Our Gu family can't pick someone else's family? It's still the Chu family! Let people know, and they don't laugh at the Gu family! They even pick The rest of Xigu..."

The future son-in-law used to say that he was a relative with the surname Gu, but Hu Wanwan knew about it.

What about Xigu!That fan king family!Thinking of the Patriarch of the Gu family she had met before, and looking at Gu Yong in front of her, Hu Wanwan couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

Although I have never had a dewy relationship, I have seen his demeanor at the beginning.How could that handsome talent end up like that?

As long as Hu Wanwan is the same as himself, cherishing Zhenniang, Gu Yong feels that Hu Wanwan is cute, and he wants to make out with her when he hugs her. Hu Wanwan is about to cater to her, but suddenly he hears the baby crying, and hurriedly pushes Gu Yong away. Yong, go in a hurry.

Gu Yong frowned, feeling unhappy, and yelled twice, but Hu Wanwan never came back, only vaguely heard the voice of coaxing the child.

"It's really disgusting..." At first, I thought Hu Wanwan's loving mother's appearance was more gentle, fresh and interesting, but after a long time, I found it disgusting and disturbing.

Turning over and getting off the bed, he walked out of Muchun Courtyard awkwardly, and happened to run into a young man who came from the front yard, "Officer, there are guests visiting, the old butler at the front told me to invite you to the front yard..."

Ever since Gu Fu was kicked out of the Gu family, he changed to the old butler again.He is quite old, and he had been with the deceased old man of the Gu family earlier. Although he was a safe person, Gu Yong hated the attitude of the old housekeeper who always looked down on him as a high-ranking official.

He is not the young gentleman of the past, he has long been the head of the family, okay? !If it weren't for the fact that no one was there, he wouldn't have hired the old butler again!

"Gu Xi is confused, what kind of guest is worthy of his attention?" Frowning, Gu Yong took the greeting card, saw the name and taboo on the gold-rimmed red card, and felt unfamiliar.

"Su?! Which Su has one? Su Jingchun! I've never heard of it. Where did this underachiever come from?"

Opening the greeting post, there is a brief introduction inside, where is the family name, who is the ancestor, and what is the livelihood.

This Su Jingchun's worship post is also simple, he only said that Jinan people have been in business for generations, and they have run a fan business, which is subtle and low-key.

But after the post, there was a referrer's name. Although he simply wrote a name, Gu Yong didn't pay attention to it the first time he read it, but after taking a look, for some reason, he stared at it again. He glanced at it, said it twice, and suddenly woke up.

This referrer is not someone else, but the county magistrate of Songjiang!

"Where is the guest now? Hurry up, hurry up, open the middle door quickly, and invite the distinguished guests to the hall..." Gu Yong turned around in a hurry, "I'm going to change clothes first."

The servant followed up a few steps, "The old butler has already invited the guests to the hall, and said that the officials need to change quickly..."

Staring at him, Gu Yong wanted to get angry again, but held back, and turned back to Muchun Courtyard. He wanted to go to Hu Wanwan's room to change clothes, but when he got to the door, he heard the baby crying inside.

Frowning, he turned and entered the East Wing. There were also his clothes on the left and right East Wings.

After hastily changing his clothes, he went all the way to the front yard, thinking about who this Su family was. The old man actually acted as a referrer, and he willingly put his name at the end instead of writing it at the beginning.Could it be that Mr. Su, like Mr. Shang, has a background?
Jinan, fan making...

Ah, suddenly remembering what someone said before, Gu Yongxian guessed a bit of Su Jingchun's origin.

When playing fans, someone once said that "Nan Gu Bei Su" was said, and now that Nan Gu has collapsed, only the Northern Su dominates the Great Xia Dynasty.

It is said that Beisu was an imperial fan supplier in the early days, and now it has monopolized the fan supply quota.But this is nothing, the most important thing is that the Su family gave birth to a young lady, but she married into Prince Rui's residence and became a side concubine.

Although she is only a side concubine, the Su family is bound by this blessing. No matter what, they are all royal in-laws.What imperial merchants, isn't it a matter of course!
Once he thought about the origin of the Su family, Gu Yong couldn't help feeling very hot.

A royal relative actually came?This is God's blessing to his family, so he sent such an opportunity!
