beauty heart thorn

Chapter 51
Inner hall.

Yue Jingshu tugged at her sleeve.

Gu Mingzhu changed her expression and smiled: "Okay, I don't care about you anymore, sister, let's go."

She took Yue Jingshu's arm affectionately, and suddenly turned into a playful and clingy girl, seemingly harmless to humans and animals.

Yue Jingshu smiled helplessly, and bowed to Li Ruyue: "I'm sorry, Ms. Li, the Yue family will pay for the broken money."

Yue Jingshu walked out of Miaofang Pavilion with Gu Mingzhu on her arm, and through the window of the carriage, she saw the maid supporting Li Ruyue into the carriage.

Only then did Yue Jingshu say: "Tell me, do you have a problem with Li Ruyue?"

Gu Mingzhu rubbed her nose: "How could..."

Yue Jingshu said: "Although a bottle of beauty cream is worth a thousand dollars, the Li family holds a very important position in the court, so why bother to compete with her. My father often taught me to be more tolerant in everything, and don't try to be quick and get angry."

Left Prime Minister Li Yi is now the emperor's most important person, and also the enlightenment teacher of the fifth prince.If it is necessary to distinguish between high and low among the officials of the imperial court, there is no one better than Li Wuxu.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Sister, did I cause you trouble?"

Yue Jingshu shook her head: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just afraid that you will easily offend people when you first come here. Today's matter is over. It's just Mingzhu. Since you are already in Jiangling, sometimes you have to make some concessions for the sake of the overall situation."

Gu Mingzhu nodded clearly, and said obediently: "I see."

Yue Jingshu was five years older than Gu Mingzhu. Although she had seen her take a knife and take someone's life with her own eyes, but at the moment when Gu Mingzhu listened softly, she immediately regarded her as a younger sister as it should be.

Yue Jingshu said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, it's noon, I heard that there is a restaurant in Jiangling that has excellent food and drink, I only heard Miss Shijia mention it, I haven't been there yet, today I just happen to have a taste together."

The carriage carried the two of them forward, and they arrived at the place after a while.

Gu Mingzhu got out of the car and took a look.

Ho!
Thirteen gardens.

She couldn't laugh or cry in her heart, and followed Yue Jingshu into the room.

Yue Jingshu looked at the lobby, then glanced at the lake outside the window, and said, "It's really just like what they said, elegant and beautiful."

The boy came forward.

Yue Jingshu ordered: "Yajian."

The servant laughed and led the way: "You two, please go upstairs."

The servant looked at Gu Mingzhu from the corner of his eye, quickly opened a room, ordered someone to make tea, and then retreated out.

As soon as he got downstairs, he immediately went to the back kitchen. After a while, Guan Shiyi went upstairs with two plates of snacks.

Guan Da smiled all over his face, and said: "You two girls, this is Shisanyuan Twilight Hibiscus Cake, please taste it."

Yue Jingshu was a little surprised. The two of them had just taken their seats and hadn't ordered food yet, so why did they bring pastries here.

There are four pieces of pastries on the plate. It is called dim sum, but it is more like a painting. Each piece of pastry is white, and then uses different colors to outline the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

People in the world often say: the color and fragrance are perfect, and it should be like this.

Yue Jingshu said: "Mingzhu, you should try it. Speaking of which, you recommended the cakes from Shisanyuan to me. Hua'er loves them the most now."

It was a joy to eat a meal.

When the two were about to leave, the young servant personally handed over two food boxes: "These two boxes of pastries are the new style of Yuanzi, and they are presented to the two young ladies."

The two took it calmly, Yue Jingshu said: "Thank you."

Turning out the screen, Gu Mingzhu's steps paused slightly.

There was a person standing at the door, who seemed to have been waiting for a while, and turned around when he heard the movement.

Yue Jingshu bowed her knees and said, "I've seen Mr. Xu."

Xu Jue slightly nodded at her and said, "Miss Yue, I will take him away first."

take away?

Yue Jingshu glanced at Gu Mingzhu suspiciously, saw that her expression was calm, and remembered the matter of the Wu family banquet, so she nodded.

Xu Jue directly pulled Gu Mingzhu's wrist, and got into a carriage in a blink of an eye, and the carriage drove away from the street quickly.

Gu Mingzhu glared at the person opposite, coincidentally, Xu Jue was also looking at her.

Gu Mingzhu said: "What are you pulling me for?"

Last night could be regarded as a bad break up, and before she could think of a way to make both ends meet, he came to her door first.

Xu Jue said, "Why can't I hold you back? What did you mean last night?"

"Means nothing."

Xu Jue snorted: "Stop bluffing me, I can see that you are so obedient in front of Xiu Rong, and you will become a cat when you come to me, or a cat that can only bite people."

Gu Mingzhu straightened her sleeves and said, "What about cats and dogs, I don't understand."

Xu Jue asked: "What do you mean we are not like-minded people? How do you know that we are not the same people?"

Gu Mingzhu looked directly at him and said, "Are you going to ask this?"

"I'm going to ask that."

Gu Mingzhu smiled and said: "Okay, let me ask you, if one day in the future, I do something rebellious, will you protect me?"

"Protect! Why not protect!"

Gu Mingzhu looked a little playful: "You don't even ask what such a treasonous thing is."

Xu Jue said indifferently: "As long as it doesn't harm the country and the people, I will protect it."

Gu Mingzhu asked: "What if it is something that harms the country and the people?"

Xu Jue said, "That's okay."

"Whether right or wrong?"

"Why care about right and wrong?"

Gu Mingzhu was silent, and the carriage was quiet for a moment, she sighed softly, and said, "Forget it, I can't talk to you."

Xu Jue said, "Aren't you angry?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "How can I be angry?"

Xu Jue smiled faintly: "I don't know who called Xu Shizi fiercely last night, his face smells so bad."

Gu Mingzhu raised his eyebrows at him: "...Xu Shizi, can't you call?"

Xu Jue stretched out his right hand and pinched her face: "Others can shout, but you are not allowed."

A piece of cheek was pinched by him, but she didn't feel any pain, Gu Mingzhu said: "Then what are you calling?"

She thought for a while and said, "Master Xu? Brother Xu?"

Xu Jue let go of his hand and leaned back lazily.

Gu Mingzhu got evil from her heart and moved closer: "General Dingbei? Mr. Xu?"

It's amazing!

How can a man's eyelashes grow better than a woman's?

Gu Mingzhu stretched out her hand, wanting to pull his eyelashes, but Xu Jue blocked it with her hand: "What are you doing?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Don't do anything."

Xu Jue teased, "Don't be sneaky and take advantage of others like last night."

Gu Mingzhu laughed angrily: "...Sneaky? Who was it that seduced me last night? What are you trying to do by pretending to be drunk?"

Xu Jue readily agreed: "Well, that's right. I seduced you first, and I'm just so shameless."

Xu Jue embraced her with a big hand, pressed her into his arms, felt her obedience, and sighed in a low voice: "You don't know, I was going crazy at the Wu family banquet last time, I was afraid that if I hesitated again, you would be caught To whom, Wanwan...you won't understand, I'm really scared."

Gu Mingzhu smiled lightly: "So you just said that I accepted the jade pendant from the Xu family's ancestors?"

"En. Even if you refuse, as long as the emperor forcefully grants you a marriage in the future, I will have an excuse to mess things up."

"Why didn't I realize you were so thick-skinned before?"

Xu Jue sneered, he was only 20 years old after all, the girl he had loved for many years was now in his arms, and suddenly he became self-taught, saying: "In the future, my skin will be thicker."

Gu Mingzhu chuckled, put down her mind and got up from his arms, imitating Xu Jue just now, and pinched his face.

"Let's see, um...it's really thick." She looked out of the car and said, "Where is this going?"

"Get out of town."

Gu Mingzhu looked back at him: "What are you doing out of town?"

Xu Jue was half lying down, closed his eyes and said, "The Jiming Temple outside the city is a summer resort. I have already told fellow practitioner Rong that he will come over later when he is on business."

Gu Mingzhu saw that he closed his eyes and looked sleepy, so she couldn't help asking: "Did you become a thief last night?"

Xu Jue snorted lightly: "It's not because of you."

"Then you sleep, I will call you when we arrive."
