Mrs. Hou of Zhenguo was also worried. She was more careful when choosing. She was so worried that her hair was almost white, but there were still many troublemakers: "I'm going to leave a picture of a girl with good character and appearance at home and send it to the palace to be selected by the emperor and the second Emperor himself. After all, the selection of concubines depends on the fate of the eyes, doesn't it? "

She frowned unhappily and said, "those families with girls want to be the concubines of the second prince. After all, there is only one prince under the emperor's knee, and he will be the prince in the future. Even if he is the concubine beside the second prince, it is not impossible to be a concubine in the future. One by one, they give gifts to the painter and bribe him to add a few strokes to the portrait, so that the second prince will take a fancy to it. "

Mrs. Hou of Zhenguo also found out by accident that the painter did it secretly, only adding one or two strokes, and the people in the whole picture were quite different.

If you just send these portraits to the palace, the emperor and the second prince choose someone. Looking back, I'm slightly different from the portraits. If Mrs. Zhen guohou's job is ruined, it will make the emperor angry. Is it going to affect the Zhen guohou?

Those people really add to the chaos, and Mrs. Hou of Zhenguo is not a soft persimmon to be kneaded by others. She directly removes all these girls. She didn't mean to change her mind even if they begged and cried again, or spoke ill of themselves behind their back.

Gu Yunkuai can't help but worry that the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo has offended many ministers. It's just a gentleman, but it's a villain who is hard to deal with. He can't tell when to make a trip, but he can't make people's defense. "They're fighting in the portrait, don't they know it's a crime of deceiving you?"

"They know very well, but they want to gamble. Three wenches think that the daughters of the imperial court's important officials are gone, which makes the opportunity fall on these people. Such an opportunity is rare, and it's hard to come across once in decades. They can't thank an guohou in their heart. Now they can't make a success of their daughter's light without a fight. " Mrs. Hou of Zhenguo sneered. How many people have been studying hard for ten years in order to become a close Minister of the emperor and honor their ancestors?

Now as long as they present their daughters, they can struggle for 20 years less. Which family is not willing to?

But the idea came to her, and Mrs. Hou couldn't bear it: "these people pester each other and go to the door of Hou's house every day to cry. But most of the people have been bombed away, and there are few girls left to choose from. "

She was really worried that she failed in the job.

After that, Mrs. Hou of Zhenguo said with a bitter smile: "it was supposed to make the three girls happy, but now I can't help pouring bitter water with you."

"My aunt has always been responsible. These people have made up their mind, and later they are not sure what to do, but they still attack the second prince. It's time to get rid of the wrong ideas. Otherwise, even if he is elected, the second prince's Houzhai will be restless. Won't the emperor blame his aunt for not knowing people well? " Gu Yunkuai smiles, then holds the hand of Mrs. Hou of Zhenguo and says, "my aunt is in a good hurry. I must be on your side."

"Good girl, it's right to come to you." Mrs. Hou of Zhenguo was not a tangled person either. She soon let go: "the number of girls is small. At least they were selected carefully. No matter how well the job is done, at least I have a clear conscience. "

When she finished, she asked Gu Yunkuai about his body and told him, "now you are a man with two bodies. Don't go out and walk around for the time being. There are no less people around. At least one of Qiuhong qiulv is with you. Catkins are very careful. They can run errands for you, so you don't have to do it yourself. "

After a few words, there was a servant girl outside. Mrs. Hou frowned. She knew that there was trouble in front of Hou's house again: "it's so boring to cry, make trouble and hang yourself."

Gu Yunkuai was worried and motioned to Qiuhong: "let Xiao Er take two people with his aunt to have a look together. Don't make people die and damage the reputation of the marquis."

Xiao Er quickly takes people to leave with Mrs. Hou of Zhenguo, and there are two people watching secretly, so as to prevent those troublemakers from setting themselves on fire and finally lose their daughter's life.

Gu Yunkuai is just in case. After all, acting belongs to acting. In the end, no one can say for sure what he really does.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Zhen guohou to come back, but she didn't look very well: "fortunately, the three girls are cautious, and they really want to kill people and force me to obey."

After hearing this, Gu Yunkuai was surprised. How cruel is it to push his daughter out and want her life so as to complete the family?

"What's the matter? How can the election be held when people are gone?"

His wife sneered: "there is more than one daughter in this family. The eldest daughter is born to a concubine. She always has no foothold at home and is bullied by her mother. Now there are such opportunities. Naturally, all the daughters in the family give them away. There are more opportunities. But when I found out about the painting, I was deprived of the opportunity. The housewife didn't come up with a bad idea to ask the eldest daughter to cry in front of the Marquis's house, and bribed the servant girl to tie a knot on the rope. "

"That girl is also a fool. She thinks she's just acting. She cries so much that she's standing on a chair and about to hang up in a tree. After all, it was said at first that the rope was tied in a loose knot. When I arrived, I would open it by hand, and I would be OK. "But now the knot is tied, and the girl's legs are fluttering. She almost turns her eyes and sticks out her tongue. Fortunately, Xiao Er rushed in time, and immediately saw that the rope was greasy. She directly cut the rope with a flying knife, which saved the man.

Two more breaths in the evening, the girl's life will have to be explained at the gate of the Marquis's mansion.

Gu Yunkuai couldn't help sighing. His mother was cruel. It wasn't something to be a father. It's impossible to say that this father didn't know anything about it. Right under my nose, how can I know nothing?

It's obvious that she acquiesced. The eldest daughter died, and there are other daughters under her. When things got worse, Mrs. Hou of Zhenguo turned a blind eye to cover up. She told her other daughters to take part in the general election. As long as one of them could stay and blow the pillow around the second prince, wouldn't the rise of the family be a matter of immediate concern?

Mrs. Hou of Zhenguo also sighed: "such parents should not treat their daughter as a human being. They want to send them out just like objects. Their parents don't care about their daughter's life. They just want to pave the way for their own official career."

When she met such a father, the girl was really unlucky for eight generations.

"People are saved, but the servant girls around know how to cry. They don't even know how to hold the handle. I'll let them send it to me first. At least I'll ask the doctor to have a look, so that he won't have a bad voice and can't speak in the future."

She felt pity for the girl who was forced to hang herself for a play. She sent the man over and apologized: "I should tell the three girls about this. I'm old and I can't help being soft hearted. If the Marquis is here, I have to say that I'm nosy."

Gu Yunkuai shook his head. He didn't think it was improper to help the poor girl: "people almost killed themselves in front of Hou's house. It's really inappropriate to receive Hou's house. It's nothing to send to Xiao's house. As it happens, the doctor is living in the wing room. He is on call and there is no need to delay

After all, the girl's servant girl is not reliable. Don't even care about the people who serve her.

Qiulu came back soon after, followed by a pale young girl with a startling scratch on her neck, which shows how dangerous she was just now.

She was supported by a servant girl, panting for breath to Gu Yunkuai and his wife, who said, "thank you for your help. I'm very grateful."

The voice is hoarse, obviously it hurt my voice just now.

Mrs. Zhen guohou glanced at her with disapproval and asked, "your surname is Xia, right? If Miss Xia doesn't take a good rest in the wing room, what will she do when she runs out? "

Qiuhong quickly stepped in and whispered: "madam, Xia is here."

Gu Yunkuai pick eyebrow, this just make an accident, the person of Xia family arrived?

Even if someone informs, it's too fast. It's only a quarter of an hour.

"Zhenguo Hou's wife sneered and said in a low voice:" anyway, the three girls are also stuffy in the room. Why don't you look at this opera

Mr. Xia came at this time just to sing?

As soon as he came in, he would have to cry. He looked like a father and daughter. He cared for his eldest daughter and blamed himself for not taking good care of her, which caused trouble to Hou's and Xiao's families.

Gu Yunkuai covers half of his face with his sleeve and covers his smile at the corner of his mouth, indicating that Qiuhong will separate the screen here.

Mr. Xia came in and really grabbed his daughter's hand and cried, "my poor daughter, how can you come to Hou's house to seek death? Fortunately, madam Zhen guohou is kind-hearted and saves her daughter. I'm very grateful. "

After sipping the hot tea, Mrs. Hou said coolly, "I don't need to be grateful. I'll take my daughter back to take good care of her injury. If the injury of the neck is not good, I don't think it's necessary to leave a scar."

If the scar is really left, the eldest daughter of the Xia family is afraid that she will not get married.

Mr. Xia bowed quickly and said gratefully, "it's said that Mrs. Xiao sent her servants to help her. Thank you for your kindness, madam. The little girl is not talented. She is willing to stay in Xiao's house to serve his wife. She has saved her life. "

Gu Yunkuai was stunned, but he didn't expect that the Xia family had decided on him?

She pondered for a long time, then slowly said: "it's nothing for Miss Xia to stay in the house to recover. When the injury is healed, I'll send someone to send Miss Xia back to the house. It's unnecessary to say that those who want to repay their kindness are left behind. No matter who meets them, they will help. "

Xia adults obviously do not miss such a good opportunity, hastily way: "little girl do not ask for anything else, just want to stay in Xiao house to serve his wife, is willing to."
