Chapter 19: Ganlu Temple (1)

The sky was bright, and Qingshu was woken up.

Qingshu hugged the quilt and closed her eyes and said, "Grandma, what are you doing when you get up so early?" ”

In the past, I had to get up before dawn to work in the Lion Nunnery. But since she came back, she had to sleep until dawn.

While dressing her, Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you yesterday, I want to go to Ganquan Temple to offer incense today." ”

Ganquan Temple is far away from the county seat, with more than 40 miles of road. So, you have to leave early.

"Oh......" he said, and let out a long yawn.

I washed up and put breakfast on the table. In addition to the two staple foods of red dates and pearl porridge and xiaolongbao, there are also steaming fried dough dough soy milk and goat's milk egg custard.

In the Gu family, there is nothing to eat and sleep. Old Mrs. Gu took a bite of the fritters and asked while eating, "I heard that bathing with goat's milk will make your skin fair and tender." Obediently, do you want to bathe in goat's milk. ”

Qingshu, who was drinking porridge, choked and coughed violently.

Old Mrs. Gu said while giving her a good breath: "You kid, forget it if you don't want to, why are you scared like this." ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Grandma, a bowl of goat's milk every day is fine." ”

Running goat's milk every day may be good for the skin, but it doesn't happen in a day or two. It's too expensive to soak this stuff every day. Although the family has some money, it can't be so extravagant.

Mrs. Gu said, "How can one bowl a day be enough?" If you like to drink, drink a bowl every day after a meal! "This goat's milk is a good thing, but it's a pity that she can't get used to it. If not, you should insist on drinking three bowls a day.

Qingshu was afraid of eating too much and gaining weight, so he said: "Just drink a bowl in the morning and noon, and don't drink it in the evening." ”

After breakfast, the grandfather and grandson went out. They walked on the front foot, and Gu Heping came over with Yuan Shanniang on the back foot.

Hearing that Old Lady Gu had gone out, Yuan Shanniang's face was ugly, and she returned to her courtyard and said to Gu Heping: "Xianggong, does she still treat you as a son?" I won't even tell you where to go. ”

Gu Heping did not speak. He remembered that when he was a child, Mrs. Gu was also very kind to him, but since she married Shanniang, she has become more and more cold to him. Until now, I don't want to talk to him more.

He was very sad at first, but with his wife and children by his side, he gradually wanted to open up. He didn't care about him, and he didn't rush it. left and right, she is not her own mother.

Yuan Shanniang said: "Xianggong, we have to think of a way to take over the family's business." Otherwise, the Gu family's property will have to be surnamed Lin at that time. ”

Gu Heping frowned and said, "The eldest sister is not such a person, she doesn't even want to accept the things given by her mother, how can she ask for the family's property." ”

Yuan Shanniang didn't believe it: "You really think that she doesn't want our family's things, but it's just for outsiders to see." Look at what was sent, which time she confiscated it. ”

The dead old woman was very generous to Gu Xian, and sent over the expensive tonics of silk and satin clothes and jewelry as if she didn't need money. is very stingy with their mother and son, and gives so many taels of silver every month, as if they are called flowers.

The more she thought about it, the more she hated it.

Gu Heping's lips squirmed and said, "The money is in my mother's hands, and we can't stop her from using it." "Could it be that he can still snatch the business, and even if he wants to, he doesn't have the ability!

When Yuan Shanniang heard this, she was immediately deflated. But soon, she cheered up again: "Xianggong, how do you know if you don't do it?" ”

Gu Heping shook his head and said, "Shanniang, the eldest sister will not ask for the family's property. My mother is just my son, and sooner or later all this in the family will be ours. ”

Yuan Shanniang saw that it didn't make sense to Gu Heping, so she changed her way to persuade her: "The day before yesterday, my mother took the thief girl to the street, and she spent hundreds of taels of silver in one go. Xianggong, our family even has gold and silver mountains that are not enough for her to spend so much. Xianggong, if this continues, I don't think it will be a few years before there will be an empty shell left at home. ”

Gu Heping was silent and said, "You let me think about it." ”

Out of the city, Qingshu lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside. The pale blue sky was filled with white clouds, the breeze blew the leaves on the roadside, and the birds chirped and danced happily in the trees. It's all telling people that a new day has begun.

The mood is refreshing, and the mood is open-minded. God has given her the opportunity to start over, and she should cherish it instead of dwelling on the past.

Seeing Qingshu looking outside, Mrs. Gu took her into her arms, and asked with a smile, "Why do you look so fascinated?" ”

Qingshu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Grandma, the scenery here is very beautiful. ”

Touching Qingshu's head, Mrs. Gu said, "If you like it, grandma will often take you out in the future." She didn't approve of Gu Xian locking her children at home all day. Children, it's the time to be lively and active, so you should go out more. Locked up at home all day, people have to be stupid.

"Okay, okay!" She didn't want to be locked up at home all day, and Mrs. Gu's words were exactly what she wanted.

Ganlu Temple sits on the top of the mountain, and there is no road from the foot of the mountain to the top, only winding stone steps. Therefore, you can't go up in a carriage, you can only walk up.

Of course, there are porters at the foot of the mountain. Just give them money and they will carry you up the mountain. However, unless they are old or sick, the pilgrims who offer incense generally go up on their own to show their piety.

Qing Shu and Mrs. Gu got out of the carriage, and two middle-aged men who were neatly dressed came over and asked the entourage Ah Fu if he needed a chair.

Old Lady Gu looked down at Qing Shu and asked, "Good girl, do you want to sit on the chair?" ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No." Grandma, I'll walk up with you. ”

After walking for less than half an hour, Qingshu was out of breath. This body is still too weak.

Mrs. Gu wanted to hug her, but was rejected by Qingshu: "Grandma, I want to go up by myself." ”

Old Mrs. Gu didn't agree, and forcibly held her in her arms: "Don't be reckless." ”

Qingshu lay helplessly on her shoulder.

Old Mrs. Gu is in good health, even if she walks the stone steps with Qingshu in her arms, her face is not red and she is not panting.

Qingshu couldn't help but be a little puzzled. She remembers very well that her aunt told her that her grandmother fell ill in anger when she heard that her mother had a difficult birth, and died not long after.

If you are not in good health and learn that your only daughter has died, you will be shocked and angry, and your next life will be reasonable. But her grandmother is so strong, and she loves her so much, why can't she afford to die when she is sick!

At this time, Old Lady Gu interrupted her thoughts: "Hongdou, what are you thinking?" "This kid doesn't know what's going on, and he's been in a daze lately.

Qingshu smiled and said, "Grandma is in such good health, but I get sick at every turn, it's really useless." ”

Old Lady Gu laughed and said, "Silly boy, you are still young." When you grow up, your health will definitely be better than your grandmother's. ”

Qingshu believed this. For as long as she can remember, she has rarely gotten sick.

After walking for a while, Old Lady Gu sweated on her forehead. Qingshu helped her wipe her sweat and said, "Grandma, you let me down, I'll go by myself." ”

Old Mrs. Gu couldn't help Qingshu, so she had to let her down.

Looking at Qing Shu, who was holding her hand, Old Lady Gu felt guilty for her previous suspicions. How could such filial piety be a demon, cough, I didn't expect her to be affected by Gu Xian.

In fact, I don't blame Mrs. Gu, Qingshu not only has a great change in temperament, but also her words and deeds are a little different from before. It's just that Mrs. Gu loves her and always thinks about the good side.
