Chapter 13 The Li family gives a big gift
On the day when all the leaves on the tree fell off, Gu Nanxi’s confinement period also expired.
“Let’s go shopping!” Gu Nanxi waved her hand, preparing to stretch her muscles.
"Auntie, wait for me!" Su Yunyan followed over quickly.
Going shopping, you can’t eat by yourself. If you buy some beautiful jewelry, why don’t you give it to your daughter?
Su Yunyan's abacus jingled.
Gu Nanxi saw through her little thoughts at a glance: "Go and bring your private money, let's each buy our own things."
"Auntie!" Su Yunyan pouted. Seeing that Gu Nanxi had made up her mind, she stomped her foot and ran back, "Wait for me, I'll be here right away."
Su Yunyan sighed. Recently, my mother-in-law has not given me any subsidies, so she just With monthly money, where can I spend enough?
Su Yunyan would not dare to hand over the money to his servants for safekeeping without spending it. Of course, he had to pick it up himself.
By this time, the mother and daughter could not leave the house at all.
Gu Nanxi stared blankly at the scene in front of the mansion. What was she doing?
I saw a small sedan, parked in front of the house.
Five servants followed the sedan, one of whom was holding a piece of red silk, and the other four were holding four pairs of red lanterns.
In front of the gate of Yongchang Houfu, people gathered around to watch the excitement.
"What is the Yongchang Marquis Mansion doing?"
"It looks like taking in concubines. But who takes concubines through the front door?"
"Look carefully, Is the person behind the sedan a clerk from Li’s medicinal herb shop?”
"Oh, it's really him! I just had a drink with him a few days ago, and I heard him complain that the monthly payment has been delayed for several days and has not been paid."
"My dear Mom, is it possible that Xi Shi, a medicinal herb, has been taken as a concubine? ”
"I still remember that she once promised that she would never be a concubine for anyone!"
After regaining consciousness, Gu Nanxi motioned to the servants to drive these people away.
What kind of concubine do you want? How can you be so insulting?
Although the spectators were driven away from the gate, they were still reluctant to leave.
The main road was blocked by a crowd of onlookers.
The officials of the current dynasty only worked in the morning and had a holiday at noon.
This main road is the only way officials must pass when returning home from duty.
The time is almost up. If these officials are really blocked, things will be big.
Gu Nanxi walked into the house with a calm face.
The sedan chair was also carried in.
"Boss Li, what are you doing?" Gu Nanxi asked with a straight face, sitting at the top.
Daddy Li licked his old face and ordered the guys to help Jing Niang out of the sedan.
"Alas, my daughter loves Mr. Su with all her heart. We tried to persuade her again and again last night, but she refuses to marry another man."
Daddy Li pretended to wipe his tears: " We know very well that we are not worthy of the Hou family, and we dare not ask for the position of head wives. We only hope that Mrs. Hou will show her kindness. , allow Jing Niang to enter the house, whether as a concubine or a maid, to fulfill her infatuation."
Dad Li rubbed oil on his feet and left: "We don't want any betrothal gifts, Jing. I will leave my mother to the madam and have nothing to do with us in the future.”
The guys also gave up and ran away.
Poof!
Jing Niang fell heavily to the ground and did not get up for a long time. Lu Mei hurriedly stepped forward and lifted her hijab, only to see a ball of rags tightly blocking Jing Niang's mouth.
Jing Niang’s eyes were scarlet and her face was covered with tears. On her porcelain white skin, a cyan slap mark was so dazzling.
Gu Nanxi held back her anger and asked someone to call the doctor.
The doctor heard on the way that there was another big commotion in the Yongchang Hou Mansion. Judging from the situation in front of him, it seemed that there was something going on?
The doctor took the pulse carefully for a moment and said without words: "This woman was given medicine, and her hands and feet are weak. She will be fine after the medicine has passed."
The doctor was speechless. This medicine, usually It is used by the madam in the flower house to train the disobedient girls in the building.
Who used the medicine on this woman? The means are too obscene.
Gu Nanxi gave the doctor a purse of money: "I am not feeling well today, so I bothered you to make a trip. Your medical skills are superb, and I feel much better."
The doctor understood and cooperated: "Madam, you are overworked. Just rest.”
As for the woman with Chinese medicine in the house? No, the doctor didn’t see it anyway!
Jing Niang was helped to a chair, her eyes tightly closed, her tongue was bitten and bleeding, and her whole body was shaking.
"Auntie, what should we do?" Su Yunyan's claws were numb.
Jing Niang, who used to be vigorous and resolute in the past, suddenly fell into despair like a drowned rat. For a moment, Su Yunyan couldn't bear it.
"Go and call your eldest brother back." Gu Nanxi held her forehead. Sure enough, the ban should not be lifted!
I just wanted to be diligent and go shopping, when such a big trouble came to my door.
Could this be a warning from God to show off?
“But the eldest brother is still in school.” Su Yunyan was not sure whether Gu Nanxi was telling the truth or telling the truth.
After all, grandma values her eldest brother’s studies the most. Once, the eldest brother had a high fever and wanted to take a leave, but grandma didn’t agree.
"Just take a leave." Gu Nanxi decided to leave the matter to themselves.
In matters of love, outsiders should not get too involved.
Su Xuanming, who was drowsy in school, heard that his family sent someone to ask for leave. His first reaction was: "It's fake. It must be another prank by Li Shaoyan and the others! They want to harm me. Being scolded by the Master!”
The book boy was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "Young master, it seems to be true. Someone from the family said that Jing Niang was thrown out of the house by her father in a small sedan chair, saying that she wanted to be your concubine. Madam called you Go back quickly and deal with this matter.”
Su Xuanming felt like he was in a dream falling into the clouds, what is this? Grandma has already agreed to marry Jingniang, so what kind of concubine can she keep?
Besides, Jing Niang has a stubborn temper, how could she agree to be a concubine?
Su Xuanming hurried back to his house in confusion.
Lu Mei, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, explained everything in detail as soon as she saw him.
Su Xuanming was so heartbroken that he hurried to the lobby and hugged Jingniang, who was like a broken flower: "Jingniang, you have suffered. Why is your father so cruel to treat you like this!"
Seeing this, Gu Nanxi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You handle your own affairs. Do you want to take a concubine, marry a wife, or break up. I respect your opinions."
< br>The loving mother system popped out at this time and roared: "Respect your ass! Female lead She’s almost reduced to being your son’s concubine. The plot line has collapsed like this. Just be prepared to die!”
Gu Nanxi didn’t know why Father Li was so faint. He refused to let his daughter become his wife, and rushed her to be his concubine. A good card was played to pieces.
Gu Nanxi no longer wants to see the heroine, nor does she want to see a good-natured, ambitious woman end up like this.
Jing Niang, who was hugged tightly by Su Xuanming, completely exploded when she heard Gu Nanxi’s words: "Don’t let you pretend to be kind! Isn’t this all your design? Now you have everything you want. ? ”
