Chapter 299 Sympathy
"Everyone is a blank sheet of paper when they are first born, but as they grow up, what will this blank sheet of paper become, whether it is full of flowers or full of dirt! Parents, relatives and the surrounding living environment have played a big role .
On the paper of Ms. Gu, there are only the mansion of the Hou Mansion, which is glamorous on the outside and decayed on the inside. In this house, all she feels is oppression and suffocation. "
Shen Mingjiao understood: "You mean, let Dan Xue go out for a walk more, to understand the wider world outside."
Wen Heng nodded: "Some of her personality has already been formed, and it cannot be changed overnight. However, her situation is not the worst. As long as you see more of the outside world and practice it for three to five years, you will gradually improve. better.
You can encourage her more at ordinary times. People with this kind of personality often look forward to being recognized in their hearts. "
Shen Mingjiao understood: "Just like you did just now?"
"Yes, but I also really think Miss Gu is good at swordsmanship."
Shen Mingjiao didn't say anything, obviously she didn't quite believe what he said.
Wen Heng just pretended not to see it, "But keep in mind that even if a person who has had this disease recovers in the future, if she experiences the same thing again one day, the possibility of relapse is extremely high, and at that time, almost It's hard to get better."
…
Gu Danxue watched Shen Mingjiao and his party leave, she stood there blankly for a long time.
The old lady who had taunted her just now was intimidated by the momentum of Shen Mingjiao's group, and didn't recover for a long time.
Seeing people leave at this time, she hurriedly came over and asked: "Miss Gu, what are the identities of those people just now? They are so dignified. I didn't expect that, Madam Gu, you still know such noble people!"
The tone was flattering, as if the acrimony just now was just an illusion.
Gu Danxue didn't make a sound, just tidying up the dishes by herself.
At this time, Mrs. Hu came back and saw the old lady leaning on the stall from a distance, and immediately shouted impolitely: "What are you doing?"
The old lady shrank back in embarrassment. Aunt Hu walked to the stall and asked casually, "Are you okay?"
Gu Danxue said "Yes", and handed over the thirty copper coins.
Aunt Hu took the copper coin: "You should be talking about Mrs. Ma at the end of the street."
Speaking of this, she spat in disgust: "That's a shameless old rascal! I'm used to taking advantage of things,"
She looked at Gu Danxue: "Sister, you are not at a disadvantage!"
Although the disguised Gu Danxue looks several years older than Aunt Hu, Gu Danxue always feels that it is really awkward for a woman who is so much older than herself to call herself eldest sister.
Then lied that he was not very old, but just looked old.
Gu Danxue shook his head. Aunt Hu snorted, "That's good, otherwise I won't be able to scold her to death next time!
But it's all a matter of people like her. But it is the best to deal with. Her badness is only on the surface, as long as you overwhelm her in momentum, she won't dare to do anything to you.
The truly scary ones are those who appear to be pure and kind, but hide evil inside. "
She lowered her voice and said: "Just Mrs. Zhou who came to buy braised pig's trotters yesterday, she looks amiable, but she is very dark inside. She specializes in pimping some prostitutes, and she has lost many lives in her hands!"
Gu Danxue recalled the person Aunt Hu said, with a fair appearance and kind eyes, which made people get close subconsciously
But such a person has two faces! She was a little frightened instinctively, and asked subconsciously: "Does the government just ignore it?"
Aunt Hu glanced at her with the eyes of a fool: "Reporter, who do you report to? She is Lord Bao's woman, and Lord Bao has a brother-in-law who is the leader of Wucheng Bingmasi, and what she has done is sinister. , but did not violate any major laws, the world is not black and white."
Gu Danxue looked at her blankly: "Sister-in-law, do you really know a lot?"
Aunt Hu was a little embarrassed by her praise: "Hey! What is this! After a lot of experience, I will naturally figure out a lot of things."
…
That day Hu Jia Dalang came back drunk and beat Huahua's mother and daughter in the house, but was knocked unconscious by Gu Danxue.
Although Aunt Hu didn't say anything at the time, she acquiesced that Gu Danxue stayed.
And Hu Dalang was probably drunk, and when he woke up the next day, he didn't remember being knocked out.
Hu Dalang has hardly been at home these days, and Mrs. Hu said that he may have gone out to gamble again, or went somewhere to fool around!
Because of the absence of her beating stepfather, the smiles on Huahua's face have increased a lot in the past few days.
Gu Danxue once hesitantly asked Aunt Hu why she didn't choose to reconcile since her life was like this.
At that time, Aunt Hu looked at her in disbelief, but she still explained the reason to her.
In a place like Anqingfang, it is too dangerous and too difficult for a single woman to bring a child. Although Hu Dalang is not a thing, but with such a man at home, others dare not easily bully the two of them.
Gu Danxue wanted to say why not move to another place, but what she saw and heard these days made her understand that this world is too harsh on women, and there are too few jobs suitable for women. An ordinary woman with a child, It is too difficult to survive in a strange place. And who can be sure, other places must be better!
Gu Danxue helped Aunt Hu put the dishes and utensils in order.
Aunt Hu clumsily counted strings of copper coins with a smile on her face.
Since Gu Danxue lived in the Hu family, she racked her brains to improve the family's plight.
Fortunately, as the concubine daughter of the Hou Mansion, although she has been bullied by the second aunt's family all the year round, she does not dare to treat her poorly in terms of basic necessities of life. Women in the back houses of these noble families are best at superficial kung fu. Therefore, her food knowledge is naturally far superior to that of ordinary people.
Master Gu likes to eat cold and braised vegetables, so the mansion specially hired a cook who is proficient in this dish.
Although she doesn't know how to cook, she probably knows some ingredients that are not available in the market.
Fortunately, Aunt Hu has some talent for cooking. Relying on her blunt theoretical knowledge, she actually made a few good cold dishes.
She rejected the share that Aunt Hu gave her. I came to the side room where the sundries were kept, and after washing my face briefly, I went to the kitchen to get some unsold cold dishes and a few steamed buns.
Go out of the house and go to the back door of the flower building across the road, where there is a man whose legs are tied by iron chains.
As Gu Danxue approached, the disheveled woman lying on the ground raised her head, and said lazily: "Little sister is here to deliver food to me again!"
Randomly parted the hair to the two sides, revealing a face with traces of poor-quality makeup powder, even so, it still doesn't make people feel ugly.
Gu Danxue skillfully put down the bowl, squatted down to the woman's feet, and asked curiously, "How do you know it's me?"
After all, this is a brothel, and many people pass by every day, and women always lie on their stomachs lazily. Even if a malicious child threw stones at her, she remained motionless, as if she didn't feel any pain at all.
But for some reason, every time Gu Danxue is not close, the woman must be able to accurately distinguish.
The woman blinked her phoenix eyes, raised her eyebrows and smiled evilly: "No way, the smell on my little sister can be smelled no matter how far away I am!"
Her voice is hoarse and invariable, perhaps because she has a good face. It doesn't look frivolous when she says such things, but it feels a bit weird.
Gu Danxue gave the woman an angry look: "Are you a dog? You still smell!"
After she finished speaking, she was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that she could say such a thing! This is really out of character for her.
She subconsciously looked at the woman, pursing the corners of her lips nervously.
The woman didn't care, and touched her chin in disbelief: "What nonsense, how can a dog look as good-looking as I do!"
Seeing her like this, for some reason, Gu Danxue couldn't hold back a burst of laughter: "Why are you like this!"
While speaking, he couldn't help but scrutinize the woman's appearance. The woman is very beautiful, but she is not the gentle and soft beauty that people are looking for nowadays. Her facial features are distinct, especially her pair of phoenix eyes. Gu Danxue doesn't know how to describe it, but it's just beautiful.
The other party is the same as her, although she is a woman, she has broad shoulders, which means she looks like a man with a big skeleton. Moreover, the other party was much taller than her, and his shoulders seemed to be broader than hers.
Because of this, when Gu Danxue noticed this through the woman's baggy and shabby clothes, she felt a sense of sympathy for each other, so she always paid attention to the other party from time to time, and sometimes there was a strange feeling of finding the same kind deep in her heart.
