The Epic Revenge Chapter 20: Seize the opportunity
Gu Xiang slandered Gu Qingzhou's dress up, Gu Qingzhou's old-fashioned appearance, it was ridiculous.
As for Gu Zhang himself, he wore a light red low-slit cheongsam with Su embroidered Begonia, glass socks, and a pair of short boots with deerskin inlaid with white fox fur, a large fur coat, yellow mink fur, Russian goods , the black circle on the face can ripple, fashionable and noble.
This kind of fur is suitable for women of all ages. The older ones are graceful, the young ones are wild, and in short, they set off their noble status.
Compared to Gu Huang's magnificent suit, Gu Qingzhou's old-fashioned feather-satin wind cloak looks tacky and cheap.
Gu Xiang sneered disdainfully: "If you want to compare yourself with me, you must wear fur first before you are qualified!"
Thinking of the price of this fur, Gu Zhang felt a sense of superiority for no reason.
Yes, she always presses down on Gu Qingzhou, which is beyond Gu Qingzhou's reach.
Qin Zhengzheng also felt that Gu Zhang compared Gu Qingzhou to nothing, and smiled slightly.
Fur is so beautiful. Qin Zhengzheng wanted to wear a noble fur when he was a child. Unfortunately, he was poor and depended on others, so he could only watch Gu Qingzhou's mother Sun Qiluo wear it.
Now, it was Gu Qingzhou who watched Qin Zhengzheng's daughter wear it. As expected, the retribution was unhappy. The viciousness in Qin Zhengzheng's chest finally revealed a bit.
"Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi!" Qin Zhengzheng exhaled coldly, "I think when I was fostered in the Sun family, that **** Sun Qiluo was dazzling in front of me in luxurious clothes all day long. Now, it's her daughter's turn. I'm greedy, it really is God who opened his eyes."
Qin Zhengzheng's childish and ridiculous vanity has been greatly satisfied.
Qin Zhengzheng and Gu Xiang were in a good mood, Gu Qingzhou lowered his eyes and got into the car together.
The third aunt Susu stood in her room on the second floor, leaning against the dark green flannel curtains, slowly playing with the thick tassels of the curtains, smoothing them one by one, and messing them up again and again.
Seeing Qin Zhengzheng take the children out with her own eyes, the third concubine shook her head and smiled.
The Gu family has a 16- or 17-year-old maid who was brought over by the third concubine Su Su, called Miao Er.
Miao'er asked the third concubine: "What is the concubine laughing at?"
The third aunt pursed her lips, pointed to the direction the car was going, and said, "Laugh at them being stupid!"
"Who is stupid?"
"Naturally these two are self-righteous." The third wife said, "Most of the old people's eyes are old-fashioned. If the two young ladies wear fur, the old lady won't say anything. But the light boat is worn diagonally. With a cardigan and a fur coat, Mrs. Si will definitely despise her."
"That's right. Old people are not used to young girls who have permed their hair and wear fur." Miao'er smiled.
The third aunt smiled even more.
"Sister, the new Miss Qingzhou doesn't say a word, but she looks amazing, doesn't she? She has only been back for a few days, and the wife, the eldest, the third and the fourth have all suffered." Miao'er whispered road.
Privately, Miao'er still calls her "Sister".
Miao'er was an orphan. When she was five years old, she was begging on the side of the road and was almost beaten to death by other beggars. The fourteen-year-old beggar at the time protected her, and the two have been dependent on each other since then.
That big beggar is Susu.
Susu later grew up, and begging was not a long-term solution, so she entered the ballroom and became a dancer. It's a pity that she wanders all the year round, her wheat-colored skin makes her look unremarkable, and her business is ordinary.
And then met Gu Guizhang, got the favor of Gu Guizhang, was hidden by the golden house, and became the concubine of the Gu family.
Su Su went to Gu's house and still brought Miao'er with them. The two sisters never separated.
"Yeah." Su Su's eyes narrowed and she said quietly, "Qingzhou is not easy, I really like her!"
"Sister, if we join forces with Miss Qingzhou, is there any hope of revenge?" Miao'er asked.
Su Su glared at her hurriedly, her voice was inaudible: "Shh, be careful that the walls have ears."
Miao'er quickly covered her mouth, opened her eyes, and looked at Su Su innocently.
Gu Qingzhou followed her stepmother and sister out. The car drove into the thicker and thicker rain curtain. The wipers made waves. The raindrops outside the car window fell to the ground like blooming transparent flowers. .
The Overseer's parents and brothers do not live in the Overseer's Mansion, but in a high-end French-style mansion in the French Concession.
The company's mansion is a huge garden house. The high red walls are covered with rose vines, which are bare in the twelfth moon;
The servant opened the door.
Gu Qingzhou held an umbrella by himself, Qin Zhengzheng and Gu Xiang held an umbrella together, got off the car and entered the company's mansion.
"Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu, please come here." The servants came out to greet them and specially led the way for the mother and daughter.
The marble paved path was a bit slippery on a rainy day, and Gu Qingzhou walked very slowly. On both sides of the path are dwarf holly trees, which have been washed by the rain and are particularly clean.
After bypassing two small buildings, I arrived at Mrs. Si's yard.
The yard of Mrs. Si is at the back. It is an exquisite old-fashioned courtyard with three main rooms and four small side rooms. Although the carved window lattices are replaced by glass, the old-fashioned bright angle lamps in the house are actually equipped with light bulbs, and everything still maintains its simplicity.
"Why are there so many people?" As soon as he entered the door, Gu Zhang could not help frowning when he saw the crowds in the main hall.
Many people were present, and it was a little difficult to use their hands and feet.
"Why doesn't every time the lady of the Overseer calls us here, she doesn't give us a chance to be alone?" Gu Zhang was annoyed.
She noticed that the Overseer's wife was playing with them, but Gu Xiang and Qin Zhengzheng had plans, so she could only play the Overseer's wife around.
The maid who led the way explained: "The old lady fell ill again in the early hours of last night. The doctor hired a room, Mrs. Gu, and Miss Gu."
As he spoke, he led the three of them to the small room where the guests were entertained.
"When will the old lady meet us?" Gu Zhang asked the maid.
The maid smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll see you soon."
"Is the old lady okay?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
"There is a doctor, Miss Gu has a heart." The maid smiled.
After the maid ordered tea, she went into the main hall by herself, said hello to the Overseer's wife, and said that the people from the Gu family were coming.
The rain outside the house has not subsided. There is a stove inside the house, and the fire is warm. Gu Qingzhou holds the tea and takes a few sips slowly.
Qin Zhengzheng and Gu Zhang murmured and bit their ears, but Gu Qingzhou had no interest.
About two cups of tea, Si Qiongzhi, the third lady of the Governor's Mansion, came in and said to Qin Zhengzheng with a smile, "Mrs. Gu, my grandmother said she wanted to meet you, come with me."
Si Qiongzhi was demure and gentle, and seemed to be in harmony, but in fact, she disliked Gu Qingzhou and Gu Huang, and without looking at them, she led her through the corridor to the main room.
Gu Xiang took a few steps forward and squeezed Gu Qingzhou behind him.
"I'm so beautiful and decent. After the old lady saw me for the first time, I'm afraid she won't be able to like Gu Qingzhou anymore." Gu Zhang is very confident.
Qin Zhengzheng was also slightly unblocked by Gu Qingzhou.
So, Gu Qingzhou was pushed to the back, her lips moved slightly, and she didn't mind, but followed silently.
The old lady was lying in the back, Mrs. Si was taking care of the sick in front of the bed, the commander-in-chief was standing by and talking, and the rest of the Si family were entertaining the doctor in the main hall.
Lady Si leaned on the lead pillow and sat half-sitting.
Si Qiongzhi came in with the people from the Gu family, Gu Zhang squeezed in front and couldn't wait to shout, "Old Madam!"
