Chapter 10 The Gu family will not become royal relatives

The temptation was so great that Shen Qiqi, who was just asking for advice, became very energetic.

After playing for half an hour, most of the chess pieces fell, and she was surrounded and unable to move.

The hand holding the chess piece lies across the chessboard, refusing to fall down.

After a long time, she put down the chess piece on her fingertips, and her straight back slowly collapsed.

"Cousin, I lost."

Gu Tingshu leaned against the window sill leisurely and contentedly. Seeing her disappointed look, he took some hot tea and tasted it slowly.

"It is really rare to become like this without being taught by a famous teacher."

"Cousin, if I win against you next time, will it still count?"

The little girl raised her head half-way, her expression timid, and there was a temptation in her eyes that could be seen through at a glance.

Gu Tingshu handed over a cup of hot tea and said "Yeah", "Whenever, as long as you can win, do it."

As soon as the words fell, the little girl who was originally worried suddenly beamed with joy, and her eyebrows filled with water became crescents.

She took the tea and took a few sips, then raised her hand to arrange the chessboard, "Then let's play another game?"

"Young Master, the old lady invites you to go to Furong Yuan and say that the master is back."

Nanny Lin opened the curtain and came in, interrupting the two people who were about to continue.

Shen Qiqi was visibly lost, her original smile was covered up so tightly that not even a trace could be found.

After drinking a cup of tea, Gu Tingshu stood up, brushed his sleeves and prepared to leave.

"After you come back from the outing, I will invite a husband to come back for you. Practice hard first, and then you will share the victory or defeat with me after you have mastered it."

There is a school in the Hou Mansion, but only girls who have not yet reached hairpins can go there. At her age, she might be laughed at if she goes there.

Moreover, although the teachers in the school were good at chess, they were probably not good enough for her.

"I'll have someone go find Eleven later and ask him to make a list. He can invite whichever gentleman he likes."

The famous chess masters in Kyoto are all arrogant, and they would not be able to invite others to invite them. But when it comes to him, it seems that they can invite them whenever they want.

Shen Qiqi stood up and poked her head out from behind him to look at Nanny Lin, "Nanny, go quickly, don't delay."

If she wasn't afraid of being too abrupt, she wouldn't even be able to wait until tonight and wanted to ask her husband to teach her.

Gu Tingshu straightened her body up, and when he took it back, he pulled up the cloak that had fallen off her shoulders.

"Go to bed early and don't read your book too late."

Shen Qiqi held her cloak with both hands and responded softly. Seeing that he was about to leave, she hurriedly saluted, "Cousin, go slowly."

Nanny Lin followed her out of the yard and waited for Gu Tingshu to disappear around the corner before turning back.

In the Furong Courtyard, the old lady was sitting at the top. Gu Changrong and his wife Mo stood in the hall, bearing the old lady's anger.

"Tell me, you two can't even discipline your own children. What else can you do?"

"It was originally a good marriage, but he refused to get married until he said it would happen. She is just the daughter of a concubine, so she really treats it as a treasure."

The old lady slapped the table so hard that the veins on her forehead popped out with anger.

Gu Changrong raised his head and glanced, tugged at Mr. Mo next to him, sighed and sat down next to him.

"Mom, everything has happened, why are you bringing this up? It's not like you don't know that the child has been disobedient to discipline since Mrs. Chen left."

As if he couldn't see the old lady's anger, when he saw that Mrs. Mo refused to sit down, he "tsk"ed again, "Hurry up and sit down."

"You are also the head wife of the Hou Mansion after all. Why are you standing around all the time?"

After pulling the person to sit down, he picked up the tea and took a few sips before slowly speaking: "He is so difficult to discipline. In fact, you have a certain responsibility, mother."

"When Mr. Chen was here, he was the most obedient, but you looked down upon others and tortured Mr. Chen to death. His own mother died because of you. How can he still listen to you?"

Speaking of this, the old lady became even more angry. She was only a little harsh, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Chen was so useless.

Although he was obviously not very healthy, he still insisted on not saying anything. He knelt in the hospital for half a day, but he couldn't bear to fall ill. After a few days, he left.

She was not the daughter-in-law that she liked in the first place, so she went as she thought. Unexpectedly, everyone blamed her for the mistake.

Gu Tingshu, that unworthy grandson, had separated from himself ever since. If he hadn't wanted to save some dignity, he would have moved out long ago when he was granted the title of Marquis.

The two princes of the Gu family looked at the scenery, but in fact they were already on the verge of collapse. If not, why would she hug Prince Gong's thigh.

"You still have the nerve to mention Mrs. Chen. If you weren't useless, why would His Majesty give you an orphan without a father and mother?"

Not only did she have no support from her natal family, but she was also very petty. When she married her, the Gu family was ridiculed for many years.

Gu Changrong opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Gu Changrong still felt a little guilty about Chen, who had passed away for more than ten years. His Majesty had asked his opinion in private back then.

But Chen was the daughter of His Majesty's savior. He was afraid of being blamed if he refused, so he said that he was happy with her.

After marrying her back, the two lived like a couple of gods for a while, but she was not very knowledgeable, so when she talked to her later, they always couldn't get along.

Later, she met the talented Mrs. Mo, who insisted on marrying her as an equal wife. From that moment on, Mrs. Chen changed her temper.

After her death, he married Mr. Mo within three months. It was reasonable for the child to resent him.

"Mother, please don't mention this matter. If you mention it again, Tingshu will not kiss you."

Being squeezed by her own son, the old lady was so angry that her chest heaved and she pointed at him for a long time, but she couldn't say anything.

What kind of evil did she do to give birth to such a bastard?

When Gu Tingshu arrived, the room was tense, as if a fight was about to begin.

He went in and bowed, looking distant, and then sat down by himself.

Seeing him like this, the old lady's anger began to surge again, but thinking of what she had to explain, she suppressed her anger again.

"Aunt Xu, take out the cakes and new tea from my warehouse and make them for the eldest young master."

After finishing speaking, she folded the Buddhist beads in her hand and continued after a long time: "Tingshu, I'm afraid it won't be that simple to go for an outing to Taoyuan on the outskirts of Beijing in a few days."

Although the old lady is in a deep courtyard, she still has some connections after so many years.

The prince is over twenty-five years old. There are only a few concubines in the East Palace, and the prince concubine has not yet been decided.

Although His Majesty is not in a hurry about this matter, the Queen will not indulge him like this. If nothing else happens, after this outing, the candidate for the Crown Princess will be decided.

"Qing Ning is your sister. She has been well-educated and sensible since she was a child. She is also a decent and generous person. You should help her."

"If it succeeds, our Marquis Mansion will have a firm foothold in Kyoto. By then, no one will dare to look down on us."

Both inside and outside her words meant both prosperity and loss. Gu Tingshu glanced at her, his dark pupils filled with coldness.

"Grandma, please stop doing all this useless work. The Gu family will not become royal relatives."
