Chapter 64: Dreaming
Often the person at the center of the whirlpool is the last to know the news.
Gu Shaotai knew nothing about the album.
He was so angry that his belongings were swept away and he was laughed at and scolded. How could he swallow this?
But now he doesn't even know where Su Su has gone.
He couldn't talk about this matter. The second lady always dangled in front of him, which made him very upset.
After finally enduring it until this morning, the second lady smiled and said: "Master, get up quickly, Taoist Master Lingxu will enter the house later."
Gu Shaotai felt better now: "Have you made an agreement with the Taoist Priest?"
"It's agreed, don't worry, today we will make sure that little bitch never gets over again!" The second lady's eyes flashed with a ruthless light, "Master, I'm thinking of sending her to a nunnery outside the city so that she can take good care of herself.
What do you think about suffering?"
Gu Shaotai nodded: "That's good, we didn't kill her, no one can say we are cruel.
This girl is so irritating now that she even asked me to salute her, which is totally unreasonable!"
The second lady whispered: "My mother always said that she wanted to coax her to tell her the secrets she knew, but after so many days, there was no result. I think that girl is a bitch and she can't do it without treatment.
When she gets to the nunnery, she will be repaired, and when she suffers, she will tell the truth."
Gu Shaotai's eyes flickered: "Yes, this girl has become more and more arrogant these days, it's really unseemly!"
"After I take care of her, I'll go to the Duke's Mansion and ask the Duke to help me talk about it. Anyway, the reward has already been given to our Gu family. If that bitch is useless, it will be given to us Wen'er."
The second lady came over to tie his belt: "I think so too. If Wen'er becomes the head of the county, we will be proud and proud, and we will no longer have to rely on the influence of the big house."
"When did we ever take advantage of Dafang?" Gu Shaotai was dissatisfied, "What has Dafang had in these years? Their mother and daughter rely on us to support them."
"Yes, yes, the master is absolutely right."
Gu Yunyao got up early today, checked the things she needed, finished breakfast with Yang, and coaxed her to rest in the yard.
It was better not to let her go to such a scene today, so as not to scare her.
When the time was almost up, Hui'er came to invite her.
Gu Yunyao didn't panic and followed Hui'er to the place of sacrifice.
In the past few years, we had been in the ancestral hall. This time the ancestral hall was burned down and before it was repaired, the old lady placed the old lady’s spiritual tablet in the small Buddhist hall in her courtyard.
Therefore, this festival ceremony was also held in the old lady’s yard.
Everyone else arrived early, and Gu Yunyao was the latest.
When Gu Qingxue saw her coming, she snorted: "What a big show."
"Of course," Gu Yunyao looked around, "Everyone, come and see me."
"..."
The old lady glared at Gu Qingxue, she was really looking for trouble.
If one strictly follows the official status, everyone including the old lady needs to salute Gu Yunyao.
The old lady stood up slowly. As soon as she moved, the others had to get up even if they were not convinced.
Gu Yunyao then said slowly: "Grandma is an elder. If my father were here, I wouldn't ask my grandmother to salute. I will fulfill my filial piety for my father. Grandma's courtesy will be waived."
The old lady felt comfortable, smiled and said happily: "Yao'er has grown up and is sensible."
She sat down again, held the teacup steadily, and drank tea as if nothing had happened.
Gu Yunyao looked at Erfang and his family: "Go on."
Gu Shaotai said dissatisfied: "I am also your elder, so don't be rude."
Gu Yunyao said nothing and looked at the old lady.
The old lady cleared her throat: "Due to the etiquette system, you need to salute. Okay, after saluting, hurry up and take your seats. The Taoist Priest of Lingxu is coming soon."
Gu Shaotai gritted his teeth, thinking that this was the only time to let Gu Yunyao be proud again.
After bowing and sitting down, Gu Qingxue asked again: "Why didn't your mother come?"
Gu Yunyao sneered slightly: "The old lady hasn't asked yet, who are you?"
"you……"
The old lady waved her hand and said: "My health is not good, please don't come."
Gu Qingxue muttered angrily: "Since you're not coming, why are you trying to steal my mother's hairpin?"
"What is snatching? My mother is the eldest daughter-in-law, so she should get it first. Even regardless of the order of eldest and youngest, since she is the mother of the county lord, she should."
Gu Qingxue refused to accept it and wanted to say something, but Gu Qingwen held down her arm.
Gu Yunyao glanced at the silent Gu Qingwen and said casually: "You should learn more from your eldest sister."
Gu Qingxue snorted and shook off Gu Qingwen's hand.
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
Gu Yunyao turned her head and looked at Gu Shaotai: "I heard that the second master fainted before and was carried back to the house. It seems that he is getting better today?"
Gu Shaotai looked back at her, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw her dark and bright eyes, so dark that they seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"The county master doesn't need to worry about my affairs."
"I'm just trying to be polite, so I don't have to worry about it."
Gu Shaotai: "..."
Just at this time, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the servant came to report: "Old Madam, Second Master, the Taoist Priest of Lingxu is here."
"Quick, please!"
The Taoist Priest of Lingxu wore a dark blue Taoist robe with Bagua, holding a fly whisk in his hand, with his eyes half-closed, giving him a somewhat immortal Taoist air.
The difference from before was that this time there was a Taoist boy behind him.
He was said to be a Taoist boy, but he was taller than the Lingxu Taoist. He had handsome features and was carrying a wooden box and a mahogany sword in his hand.
Everyone came forward to pay their respects, and the Taoist priest of Lingxu said: "This is my Taoist boy. This method is different from the past, so I asked him to help the poor Taoist."
The old lady was slightly startled: "May I ask, sir, what's the difference this time...?"
Taoist Lingxu looked at the crowd and his heart skipped a beat when he saw anyone.
The second lady said to herself: This Taoist priest is quite like that.
"To be honest with you, madam, I dreamed about the old man yesterday. He asked me about the dream and said... there was some restlessness in the house, and he felt burning in his heart. This time, it was not just a sacrifice, it could even be said that the old man wanted to warn the future.
people."
Gu Shaotai quickly asked: "The Taoist dreamed of my father? Did he say anything? Did he say who made the house uneasy?"
The second lady then asked: "Did father-in-law tell me how to deal with it?"
"That's right, did my grandfather make it clear? Taoist priest, this matter is not trivial. It concerns our family. Please help us!" Gu Qingxue said in an urgent tone.
Gu Qingwen pursed her lips: "These... are all a family, how could..."
Gu Yunyao seemed to be smiling but not smiling, watching them acting in a flurry of words.
But, look at this, the old lady doesn't know their plan.
She remained silent, and Gu Qingwen said softly: "Second sister, what do you think?"
"What do I think? I'll just watch from here. I am the county head just appointed by the emperor. With the emperor's blessing, naturally I won't be the one who makes the family uneasy."
Gu Qingwen lowered her eyes slightly: "Although I am not as blessed as my second sister, I want to express my opinion first. If it were me, I would be willing to leave home and go to the nunnery to pray for the Gu family."
