Chapter 705: First Clues
"You are from the Celestial Empire!"
This sentence was said with firmness and power.
It seems that this is an unquestionable and indisputable fact.
Mu Xiu's heart was deeply touched.
He had no doubt that Gu Qingcheng was saying nice things to coax him.
Because there is no need!
This is not the Northern Dynasty, nor is it nine years ago.
This is Lingnan in the Southern Dynasty, the territory of the Gu family.
As the most noble girl of the Gu family, Gu Qing had no reason to "put herself in a difficult position" like this.
so--
Did she really think so? Mu Xiu's heart began to drift.
He looked at Gu Qingcheng deeply, his silver-blue eyes filled with hesitation, expectation and other emotions.
He was like a prisoner waiting for judgment, and Gu Qingcheng was the judge who judged him.
A word from Gu Qingcheng, a look from the heart, can make Mu Xiu's heart, which is hanging in the air, fly to the sky, or fall into the deep abyss.
He just stared at Gu Qingcheng's eyes, unwilling to miss even the slightest fluctuation in her eyes.
Gu Qingcheng met Mu Xiu's gaze calmly, her almond-shaped eyes were clean and clear, without the slightest hint of evasion or falsehood.
Her words just now were absolutely from the bottom of her heart! She truly recognized Mu Xiu's identity as a "Celestial Empire"!
Mu Xiu: ...
His heart was hit hard again.
The tall, thin body swayed slightly.
This time it was not because of stimulation, but because of great excitement and surprise.
I was recognized by the daughter of the world-famous Wujun Gu family? The Gu family is an old clan that has been around for six hundred years.
Clans also have a contempt chain——
The first-class noble families look down upon all other noble families;
The southern noble families looked down on the northern barbarians;
The Han families in the north looked down on the sinicized Xianbei families;
The local clans in the south also looked down on the aristocratic families who had migrated south or the aristocratic families who had stayed in the north...
In the entire contempt chain, the Wujun Gu family, as a famous family in the Southern Dynasty, is definitely at the top and can look down on the crowd.
The current head of the Gu family is the world-famous Lord You'an.
The third wife of the Gu family in front of him was a younger generation who was personally raised by Lord You'an. To a certain extent, her words and deeds represented Lord You'an.
It also represents the entire Gu family!
Mu Xiu is just inferior, but he is very smart.
After the initial shock, his senses quickly returned.
His brain was working rapidly, and he immediately realized the value of Gu Qing's words.
She not only personally approved of Mu Xiu, the bastard, but also represented the attitude of the entire Gu family.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Qingcheng finished saying this, the expressions of everyone in the Gu family changed to varying degrees.
The brothers Gu Yi and Gu Ji are old foxes in the court. They never show their emotions. Although Gu Qingcheng's attitude towards Mu Xiu is unusual, the two big guys did not show any abnormality.
The second generation of the Gu family, including Gu Yong, Gu An, and Gu Kang, are also elite children of aristocratic families who have received strict education and professional training. Although they may not be as calm as their fathers, they can control their emotions very well.
At most, a strange dark light flashed quickly in his eyes.
The only ones who could see the reaction were probably some of the women in the Gu family, but it was just a fleeting expression on their faces.
The ones who reacted the most were the Gu family's maids, followers, and followers.
They were arrogant. As servants of noble families, they were more respectable than ordinary officials.
Seeing Mu Xiu, an ugly freak whose appearance was obviously different from that of the Chinese, they did not dare to show contempt or ridicule due to the rules, but they were still arrogant.
And when Gu Qingcheng said "You are from the Celestial Empire" and fully expressed her kindness and even admiration for Mu Xiu, the servants instantly lost their arrogance and all became very respectful and humble.
This is someone the master recognizes, a distinguished guest of the master! As a loyal servant, I will naturally respect him!
Mu Xiu is smart and sensitive, and he can always capture the attitude of the outside world with great keenness.
He felt Gu Qing's kindness and the change in attitude of everyone in the Gu family.
The Gu family sincerely accepted him, and Gu Qing and Gu Sanniang really regarded him as a Chinese! "…Junior sister is right, I, Mu Xiu, am a Chinese!"
Mu Xiu still looked down at Gu Qingcheng, but his back slowly, slowly straightened.
…
"Ah Qing, you, you really have grown up!"
After returning from the dock, the group first stayed temporarily in a temporary residence in a small fishing village.
Wash, change clothes, take a short rest, and then go to Gu's Wu Castle tomorrow.
Gu Qingcheng was not busy discussing things with her father and uncles in the study, but hugged Xiao.
Xiao gently stroked her daughter's head, feeling her thick, black, and smooth long hair.
Oh, Aqing has such great hair.
This is completely different from the sparse yellow hair he had when he was a child.
During the years since she went to the Northern Dynasty, Xiao missed and worried about her daughter all the time.
It’s not that she was afraid that her daughter would suffer. Even if the Gu family was exiled, they were still a noble family.
Even if you go to Lingnan, you can still maintain a life of luxury and be surrounded by people.
Xiao was only worried about her daughter's appearance and health.
The ugliness of her daughter when she was a child was a huge blow to the Xiao family.
As a woman herself, she naturally knows how important a woman's appearance is.
Men always say "marry a virtuous wife", but, have you really tried to let him marry an ugly woman?
Furthermore, even if it is not to please men, women themselves would like to look better.
Unfortunately, appearance is something that is given by your parents.
As a mother, she gave birth to four children. The other three were outstanding in appearance, but the youngest daughter was...
Whenever she saw her ugly daughter and heard criticism from the outside world, Xiao felt guilty.
She was the one who was sorry for Aqing. She gave her life but failed to give her a good appearance.
For a while, Xiao even suspected that he had committed too many sins in his previous life and was being punished in this life!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But, even if there is retribution, it should be on her, instead of letting her daughter bear it all.
When her youngest daughter was just born, Mrs. Xiao still had hope: All babies are like this, it will be fine when she grows up!
However, when Gu Qing was three years old, his hair was still sparse and yellow, his skin was dark, and his facial features were even more messy.
You can tell a person’s future by looking at him when he’s three years old.
Xiao was almost in despair.
However, this is her own daughter, and Xiao will not give up easily no matter what.
She began to look for famous doctors, and even sought out some extraordinary people in desperation.
It was Master Cihang from the suburbs of Beijing who read Gu Qing's fortune and gave a mysterious reason:
The little girl has been a noble for generations, and this time she enters the world only for tempering herself.
And ugly appearance is one of the hardships that Gu Qing needs to endure.
Xiao disagreed: "Since you are a nobleman for generations, you are naturally protected by the gods. Why do you have to go through hardships?"
What tribulation? She didn't believe it! Master Cihang just kept silent. He was just a mortal who could see through the secrets of heaven. How could he know so many "whys"? Seeing this, Xiao had to change the subject, "Master, is there any way to resolve it?"
She couldn't let her daughter grow up in such a horrible state, facing the strange and contemptuous looks of the world.
Master Cihang shook his head slowly, "This is destiny."
Xiao: ...
Xiao instinctively resisted Master Cihang's words.
She herself didn't want to believe it, and she didn't tell anyone about it except her husband.
At that time, Xiao was still the honorable Princess Jiangling and the mistress of the Wujun Gu family. Even though Master Cihang was a hermit, no one dared to offend him easily.
Therefore, the secret that Gu Qing was a "nobleman for many generations who had experienced many hardships in the world" did not spread.
Outsiders only thought that Gu Qing was a born ugly girl, but no one knew that she had a noble background, and no one was greedy because of her.
However, Xiao took Master Cihang's words to heart.
After parting with her little daughter, she always wondered: What will happen to her daughter's life? Is it possible for her to escape this predetermined fate?
During the days in the Northern Dynasty, Xiao always had wild thoughts, especially after Gu Youyi and Yuwen Heng became childhood sweethearts, Xiao would occasionally have some messy dreams.
It’s a pity that after waking up, I don’t remember most of those dreams.
However, Xiao always felt sad and suffocated.
It was as if in a dream, something bad happened, and it was all related to her Aqing.
Aqing, it seems that you are not living a good life!
Xiao tried hard to tell herself that it was just a dream and should not be taken seriously.
Furthermore, with Aqing's status and talents, she would not have a bad life even if the world was in chaos or the Gu family collapsed.
However, every time Xiao woke up from the dream, she always felt a dull pain in her heart.
"Ah Qing! You must live well!"
Xiao built a Buddhist temple for himself and chanted sutras and prayed every day.
Outsiders only thought that she placed her hopes in gods and Buddhas because her own dynasty was destroyed. Only Xiao herself knew the real reason.
Since reincarnation really exists, she will do more good deeds and recite more scriptures, just to pray for her daughter!
Maybe, there will be blessings.
Then, the blessing came——
Gently pushing Gu Qingcheng away, Xiao put her hand on her daughter's shoulder and looked intently at the pretty face so close to her.
Beautiful! Really beautiful!
It has the shadow of her husband and also incorporates her eyebrows and eyes.
Xiao had an inexplicable intuition: Aqing was supposed to look like this, and her former ugliness was only obscured by "fate"!
"Yes, mother! Maybe the feng shui of Lingnan really matches my fate."
Gu Qingcheng did not reveal the secret of the system.
It's not that she didn't believe her mother, but she wouldn't tell anyone until she had found out the real truth and until she was sure it was safe.
Even if there are risks, she should bear them alone.
She didn't want to make her parents worry about her, and she didn't want to implicate her parents! So, everything came down to Feng Shui and Bazi.
Although it sounds mysterious, it is the best explanation.
As expected, Xiao was convinced, "Well! It seems that you made the right decision to follow the adults to Lingnan!"
Xiao's eyes, which were similar to Gu Qingcheng's, were full of joy.
It doesn't matter what the truth is, she just wants her daughter to be safe, wealthy and healthy...
