Chapter 9

"Did you see, the front door is cracking... the big ear is twitching, it hurts me to hear it."

"The eldest prince also worked hard for this life-saving grace, and he let it go lightly after this happened."

"My son, I heard that the eldest prince has repeated orders to prevent the fourth girl from the Gu family from coming over."

"What else have you heard, isn't Gu Aman the eldest prince's savior? Why don't you let her come over..."

The good-natured youngsters gathered together in twos and threes to talk lively, and whoever saw something frantically made a gesture of silence, and the group of people who were still in high spirits lowered their heads and covered their mouths as if they were scattershot.

It turned out that there was someone lying on the magnolia tree at some point, and he was lazily lying on his side on the flower branch, with one hand resting on the back of his head, and the other hand was swinging a fan in a bad mood to open it up. magnolia flower.

The crimson clothes are like fire, and the clouds and flames hang down from the edges of the flower branches. The flowers move, flap, and the sleeves move. In the petals of the flying flowers, the appearance of the human-colored spring flower is more abundant than the shadows of the flowers in the garden.

Someone was stunned, and pulled the sleeves of the person next to him, "That person is the son of that family, why is he born so good-looking."

"Don't you want those tricks? How dare you stare at him! Hurry up and hurry up."

But it's too late.

"Meeting my country's father but not being polite, is that how Qian Koumen taught you?"

The lazy tone is casual, but the eyes full of mischief are silently warning the consequences of leaving.

So Qian Chuan, who had just run away with his head in his arms, came back with a smile, shaking the seven-star copper coin hanging on the skirt of his clothes, "I saw this familiar person like Zhilan Yushu, and thought it was some noble person who didn't dare to disturb here. It's Duke Jin, but Xiaosheng was rude."

Liu Xuanzhi sneered, "Qian Chuanzi, you look unappetizing as always."

It was extremely embarrassing for Mr. Hubu Shangshu to be so humiliated by his peers, but Qian Chuan didn't dare to shake his face, and he didn't dare to shake his sleeves to leave. He even had to apologize with a shy face, "Thank you, Mr. Jin Praise."

However, it is said that Duke Jin and the eldest prince are at odds, so how could this little flower feast allow this evil spirit to come over.

But he didn't know that this flower viewing banquet was organized for Liu Xuanzhi.

It is also because of this that Liu Xuanzhi has been full of anger since he was forced to appear here.

Fortunately, I can vent my anger.

The eldest prince dared to send out his second uncle to put pressure on him, so he must be prepared to bear the consequences.

Liu Xuanzhi was in a good mood and waved to the people below, "Tell me about the commotion just now."

Several people looked at each other and pieced together what happened just now.

Liu Xuanzhi played with a blooming magnolia lightly, and paused slightly when she heard the eyes of the savior covered her eyes, "Is she holding an umbrella?"

Everyone looked at the three-ninth sunny day and was a little confused. Qian Chuan probed, "Never."

Not her.

The magnolia flower was crushed under Liu Xuanzhi's fingertips, and the uncontrollable emotions frantically wandered between bursting out and self-control.

Everyone was startled, they didn't understand the reason for the sudden hostility of the person in front of them.

But he saw Qian Chuan squinting at Qian Chuan with all kinds of evil spirits, "I have a business with you, do you dare?"

Qian Chuan smiled when he heard this, and almost forgot to see him, this evil god is not called a boy who spreads money.

"Qian Chuan, but according to the order of the Duke..."

Walking through the corridors and pavilions, walking through lakeside ponds, and living in extravagant halls with cornices everywhere, Mrs. Zhou felt that a pair of eyes was no longer enough.

She participated in the whole process of the Gu family's going to Beijing to buy a house, so she knew how much money was spent in Shang Beijing. It cost a lot of money to enter the three houses of the Gu mansion, but the eldest prince's mansion cost more than ten Gu mansions.

Not to mention the garden greenhouse covered by large expanses of colored glass, which is even more resplendent than the Dragon King's Crystal Palace.

And the First Prince and Concubine cleverly arranged the banquet in the garden conservatory, with the waterside pavilions and lakes in the distance, the shadows of flowers nearby, bursting with fragrance, and the noble girls of various families stood among the flowers. pleasing to the eye.

Zhou touched the cold and slippery glazed piece.

Colored glass is hard to find, and when they were in Lingchuan, they were sold at sky-high prices. Mrs. Zhou sighed, "I don't know how many colored glass beads can be made from this piece of glass. It's a waste to grow flowers."

There was laughter all around.

"You are the wife of that family, why do you still want to grind the imperial concubine's colored glaze to make beads?"

A woman in a pale yellow palace dress was standing pretty, and many people around her laughed when they saw this.

Zhou Shi was ashamed with embarrassment, but knew that the other party was noble and dared not refute.

Gu Mingluan held Zhou's arm tightly, she really didn't know how Zhou came up with such words, "Lingchuan is remote, it is not easy for the people to have enough food and clothing, and my father is clean by nature, that's why my mother provoked him." joke."

Originally, it was just a joke or two, but seeing Gu Mingluan retort, he retorted unwillingly.

"Miss Gu Wu talks about incorruptibility, but she doesn't look like the lady in the house."

The dazzling 42 hairpin ruby ​​heads on Zhou's head are very conspicuous because of their large size and rich color, let alone inlaid on the gold hairpins, which can't be linked to incorruptibility.

Mrs. Zhou naturally also knew that she didn't expect that the jewelry she specially selected would cause such an incident. Mr. Gu's instructions were unclear, but now that there is another piece of jewelry pretending to be clean, there is really no way out.

"Ming Luan..."

Zhou asked for help in a low voice, but Gu Mingluan frowned as if he didn't hear it.

For a moment she really wished she wasn't Zhou's daughter.

Seeing that Gu Mingluan didn't respond, Mrs. Zhou became an ant on the hot pot.

"This pair of red gold and ruby ​​headbands was originally a gift from my grandmother, because my mother has always been reluctant to wear it because of its extraordinary meaning. I think it was because of this banquet, so I put it on it specially. It didn't work out to make everyone laugh."

Gu Aman walked out lightly, but with just a few words, those who were originally laughing at him stopped being contemptuous.

Great Wei valued righteousness and filial piety, and he wore jewelry given by his elders to attend important banquets, and he was impeccable in emotion and reason.

But the girl in palace dress just now smiled more happily, "I think the hibiscus color that Madam painted today was also a gift from your grandmother. After all, it is a new rouge from Linglong Pavilion. A box of ten gold is not enough for Mr. Gu's monthly salary."

"Ten gold a box, my father's monthly salary is really not enough." Gu Aman said calmly, "Not only my father, but the monthly salary of all the fathers and brothers present may not be enough, but what can stop me from having children and taking care of the back house My wife sent me a box of rouge."

Gu Aman's voice was soft and moving.

"One month is not enough, it's not that there is still one season, one season is not enough and there is still one year. The years are long, and there will always be someone who will come and give up all the white heads."

"Aman is very happy to have such parents."

It was very quiet around.

The most regretful sigh.

There is that sentimental wife who has already wiped her tears with a veil, wishing that one person would spend all her life together. Isn't this what they hoped for when they got married.

But as time goes by, the aunt, the Tongfang, the outer room, the concubines and concubines one after another, aren't they laughing at their whimsy.Obviously they have already resigned to their fate, but only today did they know that someone can actually do this.

Not to mention others, even Mrs. Zhou pressed the corners of his eyes.

The six-winged phoenix hairpin on the temple of the eldest princess trembled slightly, and she was taken aback by what Gu Aman said.

"Master Gu and his wife are very affectionate, and this princess also hopes that one day the children of Gu's family will be like Mr. and Mrs. Gu."

This was originally a scene, but Gu Aman could clearly feel the scrutiny from the eldest prince and concubine.

Did you feel that the rafter you used to deal with Gu Mingluan was too tricky, so you had to re-examine it?

But this was just an episode, the First Princess had already introduced her younger sister to everyone, and this younger sister was none other than the woman in palace attire who laughed at the Zhou family just now——Wang Yunfu.

Only then did Gu Aman understand why Wang Yunfu targeted Zhou.

Has the First Prince's preference for Gu Mingluan alarmed the First Prince's concubine's natal family?

This is not a good sign.

Apparently Gu Mingluan also understood that when she was enjoying the flowers, she actually walked up to Gu Aman and talked to her a lot.

But there is only one meaning, she wants to stay in the First Prince's Mansion, she hopes Gu Aman to help her.

"Fifth sister should be told to mother."

"I thought that if my sister could say what she just said, she would understand the truth that one prospers, one prospers, and the other loses."

"You want me to help you?"

Even if he asked someone to help, Gu Mingluan still raised his chin in front of Gu Aman.

Gu Aman laughed, "Fifth Sister thinks highly of me."

Gu Aman actually refused, "Are you blaming me for taking away the position of your lifesaver?"

Gu Mingluan's eyes were full of grievances, "You think I'm willing to be humiliated here, do you know what kind of life I've been living in this prince's mansion these days? If it's not for daddy, if it's not for the Gu family, why should I do this?"

Gu Aman was so applauded that she really deserved to be Mrs. Gu's good daughter. .

She suppressed a smile.

"That's really hard work, sister."

"you!"

Gu Aman was tired of this kind of drama, "One carrot and one hole, if you want to go in, someone has to give up your seat."

Gu Mingluan has lived in the prince's mansion for so long, why hasn't he realized that it is not the eldest prince who decides her to stay in the end.

It's just that this eldest princess made her feel too uneasy.

She wanted to remind, but Gu Mingluan seemed to have been pushed away from the fog of the future, and that fairy-like face couldn't suppress the light that bloomed in his eyes.

She gave Gu Aman a half-blessing with great demeanor, "Thank you for your teaching, sister."

Gu Aman's expression was complicated, "It's just as long as you are happy."

The two of you said "sister", and I said "sister". From a distance, they are really brothers and sisters who are very close.

With a smile on her lips, the eldest princess slowly sipped her tea. She winked at the nurse who was serving beside her, and when she put down the tea cup to go to see Gu Aman, she found that Gu Aman was no longer there.

"Where is the person?"

"Someone came from the front yard, saying that it was Miss Gu Si's elder brother who came to look for her."

The eldest concubine nodded, "Arrange it well, this time there will be no mistakes."

"Yes."
