Chapter 22
The time agreed with Yipin Pavilion is the afternoon of the second day.

Gu Mingzhu walked to the street, thinking that the selling price of the three-eyed green-eyed snake gallbladder must not be low, and with the 5 taels given by her mother, 10 taels was almost enough.

Just as she was thinking about the next step, suddenly there was a bustling noise in front of her. Gu Mingzhu didn't want to pay attention to it, but she caught a glimpse of her mother's maid Taoer from the corner of her eye.

Then Qi Feiyan's voice sounded: "Don't show me your elders! What kind of elders are you? What kind of people are the Gu family? If my daughter is like this, my mother is not a good one!"

Ning Qing was trembling with anger, Tao'er stood in front of her tremblingly, the slap on her face was bright red, and she was afraid that Qi Feiyan would do something to Ning Qing.

Qi Feiyan was arrogant: "I will soon be Mrs. Tanhua, how dare the Gu family dare to offend me?"

While she was talking, someone tapped her shoulders twice.

Qi Feiyan turned her head in surprise.

"Snapped!"

Hot pain in the face.

Qi Feiyan covered her face, still a little dazed in disbelief, and quickly changed color: "You...you dare to hit me?"

Gu Mingzhu sneered: "I'll hit you if I hit you, why don't you choose a day?"

"You! Gu Mingzhu!" Qi Feiyan yelled angrily, "Hit me!"

The servant who followed behind immediately rushed forward, Gu Mingzhu took a few steps back, her eyes flickered coldly: "Qi Feiyan, do you know how this will affect your marriage?"

"stop!"

The boy stopped moving.

"What do you mean?" Qi Feiyan questioned.

Gu Mingzhu snorted coldly: "You are now married to the Song family in all likelihood. If you start a fight with me right now and spread the word that Tan Hualang's future wife beats someone in the street, guess if the Song family will quit you?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Qi Feiyan said angrily, but she was timid.

Parents have repeatedly told her not to cause trouble before marrying into the Song family.

Gu Mingzhu knew that she was afraid, so she walked up to Ning Qing and said, "Listen to what you said just now? Like a shrew, fighting in the street and insulting elders, you don't follow the three obediences and four virtues of women."

"I heard that Song Zixi is going to Gusu today, do you want him to hear about you as soon as he comes back?"

Qi Feiyan gritted her teeth, and secretly wrote down in her heart: "Gu Mingzhu, we have a bright future! Just wait for me!"

Gu Mingzhu nodded: "Okay, I'll wait."

After Qi Feiyan left, Gu Mingzhu asked with concern: "Mother, what happened?"

It was the first time that Ning Qing was insulted by someone, and Gu Mingzhu helped her to sit down.

Tao'er wronged and said: "Miss, the Qi family is too bullying. Madam ordered Jiangnan Yunjin earlier, and today finally two came to the store. Madam has been thinking about making summer clothes for you for a long time. After buying, I received them." The news of the shopkeeper came in person without even eating. Who knew that the Qi family also wanted these two pieces of cloth, saying that they were used as new clothes for Miss Qi’s engagement. Naturally, the wife refused to accept her. , it’s hard to hear.”

Gu Mingzhu looked at Ning Qing worriedly.

Ning Qing said: "I'm fine, I just wronged Tao'er and slapped her twice, the Qi family is no better than before..."

Gu Mingzhu helped Ning Qing up, and kept silent.

The shopkeeper shrank aside, seeing that the matter had calmed down, he said: "Then madam, these two Jiangnan brocades..."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Yes, Taoer, cut me new clothes, I will wear them in the future."

Gu Mingzhu accompanied Ning Qing into the carriage, and Ning Qing was worried: "You hit Qi Feiyan today, and the Song family will definitely trouble you in the future."

"No." Gu Mingzhu said.

"Why not! According to Qi Feiyan's temperament, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult..."

Gu Mingzhu held her hand and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, Qi Feiyan can't do anything to me."

Ning Qing said: "That's right, with Yun Zhao here, she doesn't dare to be too presumptuous."

Gu Mingzhu smiled.

Back at the mansion, Gu Mingzhu immediately asked Ah San to find out where Song Zixi was now, and later Ah San came to report: "Miss, I just found out that Song Zixi has arrived at the mansion."

Gu Mingzhu wrote like rain, and quickly packed the letter: "You go to the Song Mansion and give this letter to Song Zixi."

Ah San took the letter: "Yes."

The next day.

The weather in Gusu has warmed up in April, the people put on lighter spring clothes, and friends go outing together in twos and threes.

Today, there is another big event in Gusu City.

Yipin Pavilion has a treasure to exhibit today, and invited visitors from all over the world.

In the private room on the second floor, Gu Mingzhu was wearing a light green spring dress with a little makeup on, her eyelashes fluttering, and she looked towards the first floor.

There is the booth of Yipin Pavilion.

The wing room on the second floor where Gu Mingzhu lived was covered by window screens, so outsiders could not see what was going on inside.

She came early and had a few mouthfuls of snacks with tea, knowing that the surrounding rooms had already been filled with well-known wealthy gentry from nearby states and counties, and the first floor was full of guests.

"Everyone, Yipin Pavilion is appreciated by everyone. It is full of friends and guests. There are three items in Yipin Pavilion to be exhibited today. I believe everyone knows the rules of Yipin Pavilion. The highest price wins!" Xu Mingan stood on the second floor and looked down at everyone: "Then please Please wait for a while, we will release the first exhibit soon.”

knock knock knock.

Ah San's voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, someone is here."

Then the door was opened.

Gu Mingzhu turned her head and smiled brightly at the visitor: "Young Master Song, I haven't seen you for a long time."

It was Song Zixi who came.

It's just that I haven't seen him for a month, and the young boy from back then has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Song Zixi's brows and eyes darkened slightly: "Gu Mingzhu."

It was the first time for him to call his name so directly, Gu Mingzhu smiled like a lotus flower: "It's just in time, the good show has just begun."

Song Zixi followed her gaze to the first floor, he was not interested in these romances, he frowned and said, "You asked me to come just to watch a play?"

Gu Mingzhu looked at him: "No hurry, just take a look first."

The first exhibit on display is a set of sapphire and white porcelain cups from the official kiln. The six teacups are all high-quality sapphire, with a clear color.

"1000 taels." Someone bid.

"One thousand five hundred taels!"

"2000 taels!"

"3000 taels!"

In an instant, prices skyrocketed.

"Three thousand five hundred taels!"

"4000 taels!"

Gu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and looked at Song Zixi: "Young Master Song, is this wonderful?"

"We might as well open the skylight and speak out."

"Alright, I heard that you have been troubled by your marriage recently?"

Song Zixi said: "Otherwise why am I sitting here?"

"I have 10 taels, do you want it?"

Song Zixi held the teacup and looked at her quietly.

The girl smiled lightly: "I just want a promise from Young Master Song."

"Say."

"Never be my enemy."

Song Zixi was surprised: "That's it?"

Gu Mingzhu leaned against the back of the chair, and said in a casual tone, "Young Master Song, it's better to think clearly, once my matter is settled, it's not so easy to go back on your word."

Song Zixi stared at her: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I just want to make friends with Tanhualang."
