"Well!" Gu Qingling nodded and pointed, "Whether it is the way they agree with it or not, since you are married, you should treat yourself as a member of the Gu family and follow the way the Gu family calls you. Only in this way can they treat you as a member of the Gu family.
Take care of your family. Otherwise, one day I will be gone and your uncle and aunt will be gone too, and your situation will be embarrassing."
When the older generation of them were all around, if Yao Ruyan shouted like this, as long as no one pointed it out, there wouldn't be much of a problem. But in this case, Yao Ruyan has never been able to integrate into the Gu family's sister-in-law group, and others will only regard her as
The "spoiled guest" of the Gu family.
Gu Qingling didn't think that the Yao family would have such great dignity. Even if one day she was no longer around, they would still be able to get those sisters-in-law to treat Yao Ruyan "politely".
If one day the older generation is no longer around, who will still treat Yao Ruyan as a "spoiled guest"?
It's Gu Mozhai, who can guarantee that he will treat Yao Ruyan well all his life?
When he calls her "cousin", does he really regard her as his wife, or just...
Gu Qingling didn't know all of this. She was even worried that when the original owner married Yao Ruyan back to her parents' family under the pretext of doing good for Yao Ruyan, she actually harmed Yao Ruyan.
Gu Mozhai is a few months younger than Yao Ruyan. They were both still young when they first got engaged. He is also the youngest son and is used to listening to his parents' opinions. But what will happen when he grows up one day? At that time, the older generation will
Now that he's gone, when he recalls the reason for this marriage, he really doesn't think this wife who was forced to "marry" by his elders is an eyesore?
Looking at Yao Ruyan's innocent face despite being married for two years, Gu Qingling couldn't bear to tell her if there was something wrong, so she could only help Yao Ruyan analyze it from another angle and teach Yao Ruyan how to do it.
Fortunately, Yao Ruyan was just naive, but she was not someone who refused to listen to advice. She took note of Gu Qingling's words seriously, nodded and said: "Well, I understand, mother, Yan'er listens to you."
"You..." Gu Qingling nodded her nose helplessly and said dotingly, "If you really listen to me, get along well with Mo Zhai and learn how to be a good wife. Don't rely on yourself.
Cousin, treat him like a younger brother and bully him."
"I understand, mother, he is not my brother, he is my husband, I will take good care of him." Yao Ruyan did not think there was any problem between herself and Gu Mozhai, and agreed with a smile.
Seeing her like this, what could Gu Qingling say?
I can only put my worries back in my stomach and take one step at a time.
The only thing she hopes is that her worries are unnecessary.
After talking to Yao Ruyan for a while, Gu Qingling also asked Yao Ruyan to call Gu Mozhai over and talk to him alone for a while.
Yao Ruyan laughed when she heard this: "Mom, you are serious, are you still afraid that your cousin will bully me? Hahaha... Don't worry, my cousin and I are fine."
"What cousin, that's your husband and wife. As the mother-in-law, can't I have a few words with my son-in-law?" Gu Qingling rolled her eyes at Yao Ruyan, poured a cup of tea for Yao Ruyan, and secretly added a drop of diluted spirit spring into it.
, let her shout and then call someone.
On the other side, Gu Mozhai was talking to Uncle Yao.
The Gu family was a scholarly family, and although Gu Mo Zhai was favored, he also took care of his studies very closely.
Whether it was to show off or something else, Mr. Gu called Gu Mo Zhai over and asked him to talk to his "brother-in-law" and cousin.
It just so happened that Uncle Yao was also a scholar. Although he did not have any fame, he had the title of Viscount and was older than Gu Mo Zhai, so he could give some guidance to Gu Mo Zhai.
Uncle Yao is not very good at reading, but he has gained a lot of knowledge by working for Gu Qingling in the past few months, and he really has some experiences that he can talk to Gu Mozhai about.
So, the two of them were talking to each other, quite enthusiastically.
Until Yao Ruyan came over to call for someone.
"Uncle, my mother asked cousin Mo Zhai..." Oh, no, you should call her by name directly. Yao Ruyan paused and changed her words, "Mo Zhai go over and talk."
Gu Mozhai felt that her pause was a bit suspicious, but he didn't think much about it, and left with Yao Ruyan under the friendly and teasing eyes of his brothers.
This is the disadvantage of being the youngest son. No matter what you do, you will be stared at and ridiculed by others.
Ever since Gu Mo Zhai got married to Yao Ruyan, he has been unable to avoid this.
However, his cousin still has some...
Gu Mozhai didn't know what to say. Anyway, he looked smart but was actually not that smart and could easily be tricked by his family.
Fortunately, there was nothing going on between them as husband and wife, and there was nothing worthy of discussion by his brothers, otherwise...
Since he was meeting Gu Mo Zhai alone, Gu Qingling sent Yao Ruyan away as soon as Gu Mo Zhai arrived.
Yao Ruyan made a face: "Mom, don't bully your cousin. No matter what, he is my husband and wife."
"I know." Gu Qingling glared at her and told her to leave quickly.
After Yao Ruyan left, Gu Qingling's eyes fell entirely on Gu Mozhai.
I don't know if it was Gu Mo Zhai's misunderstanding, but he always felt that the way his aunt looked at him was a bit strange, especially after his aunt spoke, Gu Mo Zhai actually felt like he was being seen through.
Gu Mozhai swore that he didn't have this terrible feeling with his father or brothers, but he felt it once he met his aunt.
He didn't dare to be weird and answered honestly.
The questions Gu Qingling asked were nothing more than the details of his life, such as what else he did besides reading, what books he liked to read, how he was serving his servants...
It seemed like the question was casual, but in fact, Gu Qingling was trying to find out if Gu Mo Zhai had any maids that he liked more, like those who wore red clothes and added sleeves.
Although the Gu family does not have any rules against taking concubines, it is a scholarly family after all, so there are still rules that should be followed.
In addition, Gu Mozhai was the youngest son, and Mr. Gu was afraid that others would lead him astray. Before he got married, he was more strict with the maids and servants around him, and there were really no glamorous stories about red clothes and sleeves.
But, you can still go to a flower house with a bunch of young men, have a drink, write poems and so on.
Gu Qingling's eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Oh? The girl from Hongyan Pavilion is very pretty, right? I wonder who is popular now?"
Gu Mo Zhai, who had spilled the beans, felt a cold sweat break out on his back, and quickly said that what they drank was sake. Moreover, he was going there because he was invited by a friend, and he mainly went there to drink and write poems, not for anything else.
"Really? I didn't say anything. It's been a long time since I've been back to Beijing. I'm very curious about who is the top player in Hongyan Pavilion. If you don't tell me, forget it. I won't force you, but..."
As soon as Gu Qingling stopped, Gu Mozhai's heart stopped.
It is impossible for a literati not to go to the Flower House, but whether it is to sleep with girls or just to drink and write poems, it is not clear.
The Gu family has strict rules and it is absolutely impossible for Gu Mo Zhai to drink tea with flower wine. As for him, he is not old yet, and he is not old enough to lust after women. At most, he is just curious about what the women in the building look like and who they are.
