Chapter 278 The Daughter of the Sinner 26
"Don't, don't bring it in!" The housekeeper and servants stopped at the door.

The owner and staff of the ice shop kept pushing into the house, and the ten bullock carts outside were covered with big ice cubes.Really packed all the ice in a store!
The old lady and the eldest lady went out,
The owner of the ice shop saw it and immediately shouted: "Madam, do you want it or not? Master Xu has paid for it. Even if it is shipped back now, the ice will melt."

Anyway, this gift is to be accepted anyway, and the lady can only say: "Open the ice cellar and put it in."

When Gu Tingrui finished his work and returned home, he immediately felt a slight chill.While untiing the pipe cap, he walked towards the ice basin: "Why hasn't the ice melted today?"

Every day when I return home, the ice has turned into water, and it is extremely hot.

The eldest lady took the cap and put it on the hat stand.Then go to help take off the official uniform: "It was sent by Xu Mian."

"What?" Gu Tingrui was taken aback for a moment, and then he said angrily, "Is this how you accept it?"

The lady replied: "I have to accept it, and it will be melted when I send it back."

Gu Tingrui thought for a while: "Then give him the money."

The eldest lady smiled wryly: "I can't give it. They brought all the ice from a store. It is said that it cost 300 taels of silver. If you dare to give it, just go and give it."

If it was before, 300 taels doesn't matter.But now the Gu family is crying poor, let alone 300 taels of silver, even 30 taels have to pretend that they can't get it out.

The eldest lady also sighed: "The ice sent is now stored in the ice cellar, which is enough for a summer."

Gu Tingrui had already finished wiping his face, and was sitting and drinking tea in a straight gown made of light cotton cloth.The maid next to her was shaking her fan, and the ice cubes in the ice basin were gradually melting, sending a hint of coolness.

At this moment, I feel very good, comfortable and cool. In the days to come, it will be like this every day. Gu Tingrui couldn't help but say: "It seems that I have taken care of Xin'er..."

Seeing Da Furen Hu's face, she immediately straightened her face: "Even if you care about it, it won't work."

"That's right. In the past, Jin Yiwei dragged the senior scholar who was the chief assistant of the cabinet into the snow and froze to death." Thinking of the power of Jin Yiwei, the eldest lady refused to agree to 1: "You are comfortable now, be careful that you will be unhappy in the future, winter Also dragged you into the snow to keep you cool!"

"Understood, anyway, you and your mother are in charge!" Gu Tingrui picked up the tea and took another sip: "This tea is really not very good, can you buy a better one or two, and say that it is for entertaining distinguished guests at home."

"Is there any other distinguished guest at home." The eldest lady sneered, shaking her fan, "You have been in the Ministry of Rites for almost 20 years, and you have not made any friends, because although the matter of King An has been cleared of suspicion, the rumors have not passed, let alone People are coming. Let’s drink first, the caravan from Yangzhou should bring something over in a few days, and I’ve asked them to make some good tea.”

Speaking of it, it can also be said that it was sent by the old lady's hometown in Yangzhou, and that's all there is now.Gu Tingrui took another sip, what a treat, it was bitter but without a sweet aftertaste, compared to before, it was a world apart.So he put the tea aside and didn't move anymore.

On the afternoon of the second day, when Gu Tingrui came back, the ice basin was still on, and the room felt cool.

Putting on casual clothes, he picked up the tea, frowned and took a sip, his eyebrows immediately relaxed.He took two sips in a row, and after drinking [-]% of the water, he was asked to continue drinking water.Instead, he asked the eldest lady, "Has the Yangzhou caravan arrived?"

"No!" The eldest lady looked around, and the servant girl went out to store water with her teacup, so she whispered with some fear: "Master Xu sent it."

"What?" Gu Tingrui was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair.

Xining heard about it, and when Gu Tingrui returned home, he felt that the tea was not good.The next day Xu Mian sent someone to deliver the best tea, which was the new tea bestowed to him by the emperor this year.

Even if the family complained casually, Xu Mian would know it, and Gu Tingrui would be frightened.At about this time, I was fortunate that I didn't say anything bad about Xu Mian or the court, otherwise I would be impeached.

Xu Mian was highly valued by the emperor, and when he got a reward, he would send it to Gu's mansion.Sometimes the family saw something pleasing to the eye, and sent it to Gu's residence.Either for the old lady, or for Gu Tingrui, these are all rewards from the emperor, who would dare not want them!

Five times in a month, the emperor sent ginseng and bird's nest when he was injured; the inkstone and lake brushes he gave before; the agate fruit bowl he just enjoyed in summer was also sent.

The agate fruit bowl was given to Miss Gu, and it was said that it was for Miss Gu to eat ice bowls or ice cheese.Looking at the translucent white agate fruit bowl, the delicately carved red grapes are lifelike, even Gu Fu, who has seen a lot of good things, is rare to see them.

Those who sent it to Gu's mansion were terrified, but they dared not refuse to accept it.I have to admit that Xu Mian really cares about Miss Gu.

In the palace, Xu Mian was walking, no matter how poisonous the sun was, it seemed to be turned cold by his shadow.Along the way, he repeatedly thought about what he said when he met the emperor just now.

"Are you really loyal to me?" The emperor's voice came slowly.

Xu Mian knelt in the Hall of Martial Arts, lowered his head slightly: "I will listen to Your Majesty."

Compared with those words of broken bones, broken bones, and death, Xu Mian's words are very simple, but they are deeply sacred.

The emperor mocked a bit: "I heard that you have a crush on Gu Wanxin, the eldest daughter of Gu Tingrui, the Minister of Rites?"

Xu Mian answered honestly: "Yes!"

"This is rare..."

It is indeed rare that Xu Mian, apart from handling cases vigorously and vigorously, has never been in trouble.

Moreover, everyone in the capital now knows that the commander of Beizhen Fusi has taken a fancy to Miss Gu, and now no one dares to propose marriage.Think about it, as long as Xu Mian persisted like this for a year or so before sending a matchmaker, the Gu family would have no reason to refuse.

She could have been tougher, but under high pressure, the Gu family would force her to agree.There is only one reason for doing this, Xu Mian showed sincerity, softened the Gu family, and turned the marriage into a happy event.

Even in the main hall, there is an ice basin, but the room still makes people anxious.Sitting on a chair, the emperor who was facing a copy of the memorial in front of him suddenly asked: "What if I order you to kill Gu Wanxin?"

Xu Mian still knelt, did not move at all, and was so calm that he could not make any waves: "I will obey your majesty."

The emperor's voice was still gloomy: "Gu Wanxin didn't make a mistake, so don't ask, why did you kill her?"

Xu Mian replied: "Your Majesty has his own reasons for doing this. The emperor said not to stay, and the minister will not stay no matter how reluctant he is. The minister will listen to His Majesty."

The emperor tapped the table with his fingers, repeatedly, and after a while: "Catch her first."

Xu Mian lowered his head and asked, "May I ask if His Majesty is arresting you openly or secretly?"

The emperor seemed to laugh, Tianwei made people tremble: "Catch it as you feel, I want you to catch it and lock it up."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Mian bowed to accept the order.

The emperor said with some satisfaction, "Go down."

When he arrived outside the palace, Zhang Zhong went up to greet him: "My lord!"

Xu Mian let out a long breath and got on his horse: "Go back to Beizhen Fusi."
