The team moved forward slowly. Jiang Huan and the others did not panic at all. They were all disguised, and they were not worried that Nightingale would recognize them.
So the carriage left and entered the city under the eyes of Nightingale and his party.
As soon as he entered the city, Gu Qingying opened the car curtain and looked at Lizhou City curiously.
I have to say that Lizhou City is really big, with spacious streets, pedestrians coming and going, and the shops on both sides of the street are more luxuriously decorated than the last.
This seems to be more prosperous than the imperial city!
"Lizhou City seems to be more prosperous than the Imperial City!" Gu Qingying said with emotion.
These words aroused Jiang Huan's approval, and Jiang Huan said: "Lizhou City is a business fortress. You can see that there are people of all skin colors in the city, as well as people of all ethnic groups. Don't be surprised when you see them wearing strange clothes."
Gu Qingying had never seen any scene before, so naturally he wouldn't be surprised.
Said: "Go directly to Shen's house!"
She couldn't wait to see her grandparents.
At the same time, in the imperial city.
The General's Mansion was quiet for a few days after Gu Qingying, and General Gu and Gu Xiao were also happy to be quiet, but they didn't know that such days did not last long.
Mrs. Cui started to stir up trouble.
Mrs. Cui knew that she had no face in front of General Gu, but Gu Lian'er was different. Gu Lian'er was always General Gu's daughter. Her broken bones were still connected, so she started instigating Gu Lian'er to torture her.
In General Gu's study.
Gu Lian'er knelt on the ground, crying.
That look is so pitiful no matter how you look at it.
General Gu's face was livid, and he stared at Gu Lian'er with a sullen face, but there was no mercy in his eyes.
Gu Lian'er sobbed: "Father and daughter have inquired about the Xu family. The Xu family is very poor! Master Xu is an upright official, but the family is extremely poor! I heard that there is only a maid and a boy in the family. If my daughter really wants to get married, her life will be better.
How's it going?"
Although the maid serving her now was bought by Gu Qingying later, she still serves her with all her heart and soul.
So far, she has two maids serving her.
If you go to the Xu family, even if you bring a maid as a dowry, your life will not be easy!
Gu Lian'er secretly glanced at General Gu, only to see General Gu staring at her seriously. She was so frightened that she lowered her head and continued to say pitifully: "They say that a woman's second reincarnation is when she gets married, and my daughter only wants to find a family.
Married into a respectable family."
General Gu's voice was a little cold: "The Xu family is a decent family. Mr. Xu is an honest official and is a rare good official. Mr. Xu is not as dandy as the Mr. Liu family. He is an honest and responsible man. I have met him before and I am very satisfied.
"
Considering Gu Lian'er's current reputation, no one is willing to marry Gu Lian'er for a long time.
He understood this truth, but it seemed that Gu Lian'er didn't.
Gu Lian'er said with a sad face: "But is it wrong for a daughter to want to marry someone with better conditions? Does the father want to see his daughter suffer?"
She really couldn't understand why her father was so stubborn. He could have chosen a good marriage for her, so he chose the Xu family in such a hurry.
Enduring hardship?
General Gu sneered and said: "I just regret not letting you suffer. If you had suffered like your sister, you wouldn't be like this."
The hardship he was talking about was not just labor, but mental and physical hardship.
In his opinion, the fact that Lu Qingying was able to practice kung fu secretly and practice it so well was the result of hard work.
Gu Qingying's mother died young, and without her mother's love, he felt that it was hard work.
And he and Gu Xiao were at the border all year round and were not by Gu Qingying's side, which was also a hardship.
Gu Lian'er stopped crying and got up directly from the ground and said: "In the final analysis, dad is partial. In your heart, my sister is good in every way. No matter what I do, it is not good, and so is my mother. It was indeed my mother who was wrong back then.
But my mother must have done her best to take care of the General’s Mansion these years!”
Gu Lian'er didn't bring up the matter about Cui. General Gu still wanted to listen to Gu Lian'er talk for a while. When he met Gu Lian'er, he not only lost his temper, but also questioned him directly.
The corners of his mouth rose up mockingly: "How dare you mention your mother? Have I treated her badly these years? Back then, if she did something like that, she would be beaten to death no matter where she was. It was my wife who protected her in the first place.
She, her life belongs to Qingying’s mother, but how does your mother treat Qingying?”
After he came back this time, he secretly investigated many things, but the more he investigated, the more angry he became. He never expected that Cui would be so bad.
He sneered and continued: "She went to Xiaoyulou with you to buy the murder of Qingying. Do you really think that I don't know? Do you know why you and your mother were not punished? That was me giving you a chance, but I think you
I don’t want this opportunity, that’s all, since you don’t like the Xu family’s marriage, then quit and become a nun!”
What? Gu Lian'er stared at General Gu in shock, never expecting to hear such harsh words from General Gu's mouth.
Cut off your hair to be a nun!
She is still young and has a lot of years left in her life!
Becoming a nun means that she will be accompanied by the Green Lantern Buddha for the rest of her life, which is more uncomfortable than killing her.
"Why!" Gu Lian'er roared angrily.
General Gu looked at Gu Lian'er with no trace of love in his eyes.
He gave Gu Lian'er a chance, but Gu Lian'er didn't cherish it.
Staring at Gu Lian'er coldly, he said: "I have been giving you and your mother a chance. The Xu family's marriage is the last chance I will give you. If you wait until you get married, I will give you endless glory and wealth.
I have discussed with Qingying and will give you a generous dowry, but you are still not satisfied. Do you really think you have a good reputation now?"
What a great reputation the General's Mansion had in the past! As soon as the General's Mansion is mentioned, everyone gives a thumbs up.
What now?
Because of Gu Lian'er and Cui, whenever anyone mentions the General's Mansion now, everyone will shake their heads.
Whenever the General's Mansion is mentioned, people will talk about Gu Lian'er who wants to turn a native chicken into a phoenix.
Gu Lian'er said unwillingly: "So what if my reputation is bad? After all, I am also your daughter. Can't the lady of the General's Palace marry a rich family?"
General Gu replied to Gu Lian'er with a sneer, and then said: "Do you know why I agreed to the Xu family's marriage? You only saw that the Xu family was poor and Master Xu was an upright official, but you didn't see the potential of him and Young Master Xu.
Mr. Xu is naturally going to be promoted, and Mr. Xu is very good at studying. He has already won the title of scholar, and will participate in the Qiu Wei next year. As long as he is in high school, he will be able to rise to prominence. If you marry now, you will still be worthy of Mr. Xu. When the time comes,
If you remarry, others will look down on you."
These words may sound hurtful, but they come from the bottom of my heart.
Gu Lian'er obviously didn't expect this.
General Gu lost his last thoughts about Gu Lian'er: "You have made noises with me many times in the past few days, and my patience has been exhausted. That's all. Since you don't like the Xu family's marriage, then this marriage
