Chapter 130 Betrayal
Chapter 130 Betrayal
Why did Feng Qingli write a letter to herself?When did he become so polite?
In Gu Mingxuan's mind, Feng Qingli should be the kind of person who would come here directly when she had something to do. His Royal Highness Prince Yong should disdain this way of writing letters.
After reading a few sentences, Gu Mingxuan realized that Feng Qingli had secretly left Beijing again, so she wrote a letter instead of visiting Tsinghua Garden at night.
Last time in Shannan Road, although the fifth prince won and benefited a lot, the power of the third prince should not be underestimated. Therefore, some important criminal evidence was destroyed. An important person came to take the blame, and Feng Qingli found some clues this time, and it seemed that he could pull down a more important person from the hands of the third prince, so Feng Qingli came out of Beijing to direct in person.
It just so happened that he was grounded now, and no one would be surprised if he didn't show up for ten days and half a month.
Gu Mingxuan was a little worried, Feng Qingli left like this, it would be difficult for others to break into Prince Yong's mansion to look for Feng Qingli, but if the third prince became suspicious, he would go to "visit" Feng Qingli, but others could not stop her of……
It's just that she was worried, but it was useless. She only hoped that Feng Qingli could come back soon, so that no one would find his trace.
After letting go of this matter, Gu Mingxuan had a very good time in the next few days, but after a few days, the criticism against Feng Qingli in the capital suddenly reached another level.
When Xiaofeng told Gu Mingxuan about this matter, Gu Mingxuan couldn't help frowning.
She asked someone to investigate, before the third prince and others spread rumors, but because of the emperor's protection, it has gradually subsided in the past few days, why now, it is suddenly noisy again?
She had to ask Xiaofeng and Commander Tao to jointly investigate secretly.
In the end, Commander Tao asked Xiaofeng to reciprocate, but Gu Mingxuan couldn't help frowning—the third prince's people were still spreading messages steadily, but recently, people from Concubine Shu's natal family also participated.
Concubine Shu has no son of her own, and she is Feng Qingli's adoptive mother. It should be said that she and Feng Qingli are of one mind. Why is Concubine Shu's family spreading messages that are not good for Feng Qingli?
This is not common sense.
Gu Mingxuan decided to wait and see, but hurriedly asked Xiaofeng to send a letter to Feng Qingli, fearing that Feng Qingli would suffer because of the lack of news.
When Xiaofeng said that the letter had been delivered, Gu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that while she was concerned about other matters, the Sun family had already completed the correspondence with Gu Wenliang and started to discuss matters with the Bao family.
The Bao family already had a tacit understanding with the Sun family, but Mrs. Bao had already met Gu Mingling, but the Sun family had not met the young master of the Bao family. Therefore, on this day, when the weather was fine, Mrs. Bao brought her youngest son He came to the door, and on the surface it was to say hello to Mrs. Cui, but in fact, everyone knew it well.
Gu Mingxuan waited to greet Mrs. Bao first, and after waiting for some gifts, the maid reported that the young master of the Bao family had come to greet Mrs. Cui.
Gu Mingling, Gu Mingxuan and the others knew that the business was coming, Qiqi hid in the green gauze cabinet in Cui's house, and quietly looked at the young master of the Bao family who was saluting Cui.
Gu Mingxuan looked over, and saw that the young master of the Bao family was neither tall nor short, with a slender figure. Although he was tall, his eyebrows and eyes were full of heroism, and there was the unique clarity and sunshine of young people, which was similar to that of Cui's family. When speaking, he speaks at a slightly faster speed, humble but not rigid. Obviously, the young master of the Bao family is a slightly lively person.
It is also good to match Gu Mingling.
Gu Mingxuan suppressed her laughter, poked Gu Mingling, and said, "This young master of the Bao family is so impolite. I am also an older sister, so he didn't prepare any gifts for me... and Sister Wen, the third younger sister and the fourth younger sister didn't have any presents. ...For such a stingy family, the second sister is still..."
Gu Mingling became impatient, stretched out her hand to cover Gu Mingxuan's mouth, and said in a hateful voice: "Big sister, what are you talking about, how can you ask someone for a gift!"
Gu Mingxuan slowly took Gu Mingling's hand covering her mouth, and said with a smile: "Second sister has not entered the house yet, and she is so close to the Bao family's money, really..."
This is the first daughter of Shun'an Houfu's generation to see each other. Gu Yuwen and Gu Minghe are a little strange, and they can't help laughing when they hear this, which makes Gu Mingling more and more shy.
However, shyness is shyness, Gu Mingling still looked at the young master of the Bao family several times, and felt that he was still pleasing to the eye, so he was somewhat satisfied.
Gu Mingxuan stopped teasing her.
Mrs. Sun has a very good impression of the young son of the Bao family. They all say that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her son-in-law, the happier she is. It is very hopeful that he will pass the exam, and Mrs. Sun is very satisfied.
When talking with Mrs. Bao, the conversation said that when the young master of the Bao family is about to end, he can live in the Sun's house for a while. The Sun family doesn't have many other things, but there are many people who are well-educated. Madam Bao is even happier when she hears this. .
If it's just the Marquis of Shun'an, she might not be willing to get married, after all, it's the general's family, isn't it?
But the Sun family is different. The Sun family is a family of scholars. In the future, after the son becomes a Jinshi, he will need a lot of support from the Sun family. What the Sun family said made Mrs. Bao even more happy. The Sun family is slowly becoming a scholar. Don't have too much experience.
The difference between someone mentioning something and no one mentioning it is not a little bit.
The two talked more and more happily, and then, under the walking of Taichang Siqing's wife, they began to discuss the matter of engagement - Taichang Siqing is one of the Xiaojiu Qing, and Taichang Siqing's wife is a famous Quanfu people - the parents-in-law above are complete, there are many brothers and sisters in the middle, and the sons and daughters under him have several good characters, and even the great-grandson already has one. Please use his wife as a matchmaker, which shows the sincerity of the Bao family.
Since then, Gu Mingling no longer went to women's school, but was detained by Mrs. Sun at home every day, or studied housekeeping with Mrs. Sun, or embroidered dowry in the house by herself.
It is best to embroider the wedding dress for the daughter's family, so that she can be happy and healthy--of course, the wedding dress is extremely cumbersome and gorgeous, and ordinary boudoir daughters would not do such things that hurt the eyes, so In fact, many people are looking for an embroiderer to embroider the wedding dress for the young lady who is about to get married, and the young lady basically only embroiders a hijab, and is making some small items such as shoes, purses, and handkerchiefs for her in-laws.
Of course, Mrs. Sun was reluctant to let Gu Mingling hurt her eyes so much, so she only let Gu Mingling embroider the hijab. As for the wedding dress, when Gu Mingling starts and ends, it will be considered complete.
However, even if this is the case, it will take a lot of time to make some small pieces, and besides, Gu Mingling still has to learn other things.
In this way, Gu Mingling would only appear in the morning and evening when he greeted Mrs. Cui.
Gu Mingxuan and Gu Mingling got along better later on. Seeing Gu Mingling like this, Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but tease her, making Gu Mingling feel sweet and ashamed, so that it was convenient for Gu Mingxuan to play around after a while. , stopped talking to Gu Mingxuan.
Gu Mingxuan only looked at her with a smile.
Because they are very satisfied with each other, the marriage was settled very quickly. They met at the end of September, and at the beginning of October, the Bao family had already invited the wife of the Minister of Taichang Temple to come to propose marriage.
After seeing off the wife of Taichang Siqing, Lurui told Gu Mingxuan that it was Gu Wenqian who asked her to go to the study to talk.
Gu Mingxuan raised her eyebrows. Her father, Gu Wenqian, went out again during this time. She hasn't seen him for many days. What's going on today?After changing her clothes, Gu Mingxuan went to Gu Wenqian's study.
"Father, are you looking for me?" Gu Mingxuan went to the study and asked after saluting Gu Wenqian.
Then Gu Mingxuan noticed that Gu Wenqian's face was a bit embarrassed, it seemed that what he wanted to say was very embarrassing and difficult to speak.
Gu Mingxuan was a little curious, what happened to her father?Is there anything you can't say?
Seeing that Gu Wenqian was in a dilemma, Gu Mingxuan said considerately: "If father has something to say, just say it. My daughter listens. It's a difficult thing. Only when you speak out can you find a solution."
Hearing this, Gu Wenqian couldn't help sighing. He looked at Gu Mingxuan carefully, but saw that the scar on his daughter's forehead had faded a lot. After applying makeup, it was only a little bit fainter. It has grown a lot and looks more and more like a wife.
In my heart, I feel a little sad.
The niece, Gu Mingling, has already been engaged, and the daughter is older than the niece, yet she has not been settled yet... Thinking of this, Gu Wenqian felt flustered in his heart—although he didn't want his daughter to marry early, but her marriage was difficult, and he even more so. Worry.
Moreover, talking about her daughter's marriage should always be for women to talk about, but, like He's... Gu Wenqian couldn't help frowning, He's absolutely impossible, her heart is too poisonous.
I had no choice but to go into battle by myself.
At this moment, facing Gu Mingxuan's clear eyes, Gu Wenqian hesitated for a while, then couldn't help but speak vaguely, and said, "Well, it's like this, father has a general under his command, he has made meritorious service recently, because mother He is not in good health. In order to treat his mother, he gave up staying in the frontier army and was promoted to be the governor of the Jingwei commander. He will go to Beijing soon, but there is only an old mother and a small Maid girl, there is no one else in the family, so I hope my father can help him buy a small house in the capital, so that after he comes to Beijing, the old mother will not have to work so hard and can live in it directly. I'm not good at things, I don't know if it's convenient for Xuan Erfang to help me?"
Is it a general who has made meritorious service under his father's command?He was actually promoted to the governor of Jingwei Commander Division, but he was a military officer from the fifth rank, and according to his father, that person was from a poor family, and if the poor family can be promoted to the fifth rank, even many children of honorable families will work hard all their lives. But that's all, not even to that point.
Gu Mingxuan was really surprised.
Moreover, since he would ask his father's head, it shows that his father still appreciates him...
And what he asked for was not a big deal. My father probably wanted to win over this person, so he asked me to help with things. After all, if a foreigner comes to the capital and is new to the city, he may have some trouble finding a house. , but at any rate, the Marquis of Shun'an's Mansion is also a big family standing in the capital. To do these things, it is very convenient to just order someone from Yahang to come.
Therefore, Gu Mingxuan said with a smile: "It's not difficult, but I don't know, is the other party planning to rent or buy? Are there any special requirements? Do you want to be on the street, or do you want to be quiet? Do you want a yard close to it? Knowing the request of the other party, my daughter can ask someone to inquire to see if there is a suitable house."
When Gu Wenqian heard Gu Mingxuan's well-organized words, he immediately felt happy in his heart. His daughter has grown up and can think about things.
He smiled all over his face and said: "He wants to live in Beijing for a long time, so he hopes to buy a small courtyard with a second entrance. He hopes that it will not be too far from the medical center. There are no special requirements, as long as life is convenient. As for money, this Fortunately, he got some rewards after his meritorious deeds, and if we make up, he can still get 200 taels."
Gu Mingxuan is not very familiar with housing prices in the capital, but she also knows that 200 taels of silver will definitely not be able to buy a house in a prosperous area, even a slightly better area. At this price, you can't buy a good yard, but a slightly remote one The place, the money is enough.
Therefore, she said: "This money is really not too much. My daughter, let someone go and see if there is any suitable one. If there is, then help him buy it. If not, let's tidy up a house in our house first." The other courtyard for him to live in, or let’s add some money to find a suitable one to buy, and let him pay it off slowly.”
"So... that's fine." Gu Wenqian felt that this was okay, so he nodded. As for what he wanted to say, he planned to wait for a while.
It's not easy for him to tell his daughter directly that he thinks this general has good character, talent and appearance, and is very suitable to be a son-in-law. Daughter, do you want to think about it...
If not, let your subordinates see the virtuousness of your daughter first, and then slowly figure it out...the only downside is that the man is a little poorer and has no family support...but if things come to fruition, he will definitely He will help his son-in-law, and besides, he has good talents and can become a great talent.
Gu Wenqian thought very beautifully.
Gu Mingxuan didn't know that her father had such an idea in her heart, she was just a little strange, her father told herself about such a small matter, why should it be so embarrassing?
Forget it, maybe my father felt that he was still young, and he was afraid that he would not be able to handle things well.
Gu Mingxuan then asked Lurui to call over Mrs. Ni, who was in charge of buying cosmetics in the mansion. This Mrs. Ni could speak well, and her son had something to do with the driver outside the mansion, so he should be quite familiar with him.
When Mrs. Ni heard that Miss Gu Mingxuan had summoned her, she rushed over in a hurry. The Miss is now the favorite of the old lady and Lord Hou, and she cannot be offended.
Moreover, the young lady holds the dowry of the princess princess in her hands, and she is always very generous when giving rewards...
Mrs. Ni came soon, and Gu Mingxuan didn't say much, just told what Gu Wenqian had ordered, and then asked Mrs. Ni to try her best to find a house near the Siyamen of the Jingwei Commander. When the time comes, she will go to see it in person. , if the errand is done well, there will be a reward.
As soon as Mrs. Ni heard that the matter was ordered by Lord Hou, she dared to be negligent and said hastily: "Miss, don't worry, this servant will do her best, and she will definitely not disappoint the trust of the eldest lady."
Gu Mingxuan smiled, and ordered Lurui to reward Granny Ni. Seeing that Gu Mingxuan had finished what she wanted to say, Lurui said to Granny Ni: "Mama has worked hard, why don't you try the tea that our lady gave you... "
Grandma Ni went down with Lurui, drank tea, and ate two exquisite snacks. Before leaving, Lurui asked the little girl to wrap some more for Grandma Ni. From the inside to the outside, she smiled reservedly and obsequiously, making Lurui couldn't help but smile softly.
This incident spread to other people's ears the next day. Gu Minghe couldn't help but gritted his teeth when he heard it. His father was really biased, and he would only think of Gu Mingxuan for everything.
A ruthless light flashed in her eyes, and after patiently serving Mrs. Cui, she went back to the room by herself, gritted her teeth and sat there for a long time before Gu Minghe called Bi Ru and asked Bi Ru to go out to do something.
After Bi Ru heard Gu Minghe's order, she followed her instructions and left the house.
Biru leaves the Shun'an Hou Mansion and arrives at a silk and satin village.
The silk and satin shops here, although they sell silks and satins, are actually cheap. They are defective products that cannot be sold in ordinary silk and satin shops or old styles from previous years. People like to buy some silk and satin here to wear, and the Qu family lives nearby, and the maids of the Qu family often visit, and now, Bi Ru is going to do one thing, this thing, related to composers.
Bi Ru is looking for a woman who is the gatekeeper of the Qu family, that woman is greedy for money, as long as she is given some money, she can be let to do things - after Gu Minghe knew that the third prince had chosen the second son of the Qu family, he began to consciously I want to get in touch with the servants of the Qu family so as to make things difficult for Gu Mingxuan in the future.
This housekeeper is one of Gu Minghe's chosen targets, so I have inquired about her.
Bi Ru didn't go directly to the woman, but instead found a child, gave him two copper coins, and then asked him to deliver a purse to the Qu family, the housekeeper.
The janitor lived not far from the silk and satin village, and the child knew it.
Biru told the child that as long as he delivered it, he could get five copper coins when he came back later.
The child's eyes lit up when he heard that there were still copper coins to take, and immediately ran to the house of the housekeeper and knocked on the door vigorously.
The door opened amidst a burst of yelling and cursing, Bi Ru immediately retreated after seeing the figure of the woman appearing, instead of going to the silk and satin shop, she turned away directly and went to the nearby rouge shop to hang out.
Bi Ru knew that this woman could not read and write, but her daughter could. This letter must be enough for that woman to read.
Bi Ru had a good idea. After the woman got the letter, she thought it was someone's prank, but it didn't look like it after thinking about it. After all, ordinary people can't afford that snow-white paper, let alone use it as an envelope.
So he went in with the letter and showed it to his daughter.
The mother-in-law's daughter opened the letter and found that there were only three sentences written on it.
The first sentence is: Miss Gu has an itch medicine in her hand, which can make people itch.
The second sentence is: Mr. Qu has Miss Gu's personal belongings, and if he gets it, he can ruin Miss Gu's reputation.
The third sentence is: This plan is dedicated to Mrs. Qu, and you can get a silver reward and have a promising future.
"Mother, what exactly does this mean? Miss Gu, what kind of itching medicine?" The mother-in-law's daughter couldn't help asking.
These three sentences can be seen at a glance, especially the second sentence. Although I don’t know who this Miss Gu is, but someone who can be called Miss Gu must have a good family background. No matter how I think about it, I feel that these three sentences The meaning in the words is infinite.
The mother-in-law's daughter is very interested.
After the mother-in-law heard her daughter read it, she stopped suddenly, and then snatched the letter from her daughter's hand, then fell down on the kang, her complexion began to change uncertainly.
Is this letter credible?
She doesn't care who sent the letter, or what the sender's purpose is, the caretaker knows very well that in the eyes of those big shots, she is nothing more than an ant, and even if they want to harm others, they will only harm their masters. family, instead of harming a little guy like herself, so what other people want to achieve has nothing to do with her...
She just didn't know whether the news on the letter was true or not, so she didn't know if she could tell Madam about this...
After a long time, the housekeeper made up her mind that she would present the letter directly. In this way, even if the news in the letter was false, the madam would not blame her a woman.
It would be even better if the news in the letter was true - she had also vaguely heard about the second young master, so she knew that Madam hated the person who caused the second young master to death.
The gatekeeper immediately got up, changed into good clothes, and went back to Qu's house to see Mrs. Qu.
After the lady next to Mrs. Qu got the news that the gatekeeper wanted to see her, she was a little funny-although the gatekeeper's status was higher than those rough envoys, they were still limited. Generally speaking , or the bottom of the servants——she is not the concierge of the gate, only a servant with a head and a face can be a servant.
But the woman only insisted on seeing Mrs. Qu, and said that there was something very important, very very important, and she needed to see Mrs. Qu, a second-class maid beside Mrs. Qu said it solemnly, and she wanted to Looking at the gatekeeper, no matter how courageous she is, she would not dare to fool Madam, so she looked at the gatekeeper with a smile and said: "In that case, I will go to Madam to inform, but I have to Tell mom to know, it's not up to me whether Madam will see mom or not."
"It's really troublesome girl, troublesome." The gatekeeper smiled all over her face, and complimented the maid a few times, and the maid covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Mom, wait here, madam is taking medicine. , I don't dare to disturb, I have to wait a while."
The gatekeeper said repeatedly that she knew, she was tired, and she waited happily when she saw the maid entered the room.
Unexpectedly, not long after, a servant girl came in a hurry, saying that the second young master packed his bags and wanted to leave home.
Mrs. Qu was so frightened that her son was lying in bed for more than ten days, and finally he was willing to get out of bed, but in the end he wanted to leave home. Wouldn't this be like gouging out Mrs. Qu's heart?
Mrs. Qu arrived at Qu Linjiang's yard, saw the package that Qu Linjiang had packed up, and immediately cried out, but Qu Linjiang was not so sad anymore. He helped Mrs. Qu sit down, and wiped Mrs. Qu's tears, Then he heard the words and said: "Mother, you don't have to worry, my son just wants to go out and relax."
"Relaxing, we also have two villages outside the city. My mother will let someone clean it up now. No one has lived there for a long time, so I need to clean it up. Now the weather is cold, and the brazier, silver frost, charcoal and the like must be prepared. , the house needs to be fumigated first... But don't worry, Jiang'er, my son will be able to live in the day after tomorrow at the most."
After hearing what Qu Linjiang said, Mrs. Qu said hurriedly.
Qu Linjiang held Mrs. Qu's body as she was about to leave, sighed, and said, "Mother, my son wants to go for a walk, and everyone says that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. My son only read books before. I haven't seen it outside, so I want to go out and have a look..."
Mrs. Qu stopped talking.
In fact, she knew what her son meant, why it was better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, but she just wanted to go far away from her.
It's not because I lost my ugliness and felt sad...
There were tears in Mrs. Qu's eyes.
She hated the man who murdered her son to death.
Qu Linjiang felt sad when he saw that his mother was just crying but didn't vomit. If he had a sense of superiority before and felt that many people were inferior to him in front of him, after this incident, Qu Linjiang I feel like I'm stuck in a quagmire now.
No longer innocent.
Now whenever he sees other people joking, he always feels that he is laughing at himself... In this way, he feels that he is going crazy, so he wants to go far.
Neither Mrs. Qu's tears nor Qu Linjiang's silence persuaded anyone.
After a stalemate for an hour, Qu Linjiang finally let people unpack his burden, which showed his attitude, and in this way, Mrs. Qu finally felt relieved.
After Mrs. Qu cried for a while and went back to her yard to tidy up, it was already getting late.
The caretaker is still waiting!
And that servant girl, who followed Mrs. Qu, was surprised to see that the housekeeper was still there, and then said a few words in Mrs. Qu's ear. Mrs. Qu didn't want to see her at first, but Finally nodded.
The maid waved to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper was overjoyed.
Although she waited for more than an hour, as long as she could see Madam, she would be satisfied.
The mother-in-law glanced at the people around, and Madam Qu became curious, so she waved her hand and let all the little maids go out, leaving only two close-fitting ones.
The woman then took out the letter and handed it to Mrs. Qu respectfully.
The maid beside Mrs. Qu took the letter and presented it to Mrs. Qu.
Mrs. Qu opened the letter, only glanced at it, then suddenly changed her expression, stared at the woman fiercely, and asked, "Where did you get this letter?"
The gatekeeper was frightened by Mrs. Qu's sudden change of expression and knelt down, trembling slightly.
Not to mention Mrs. Qu, she is the second-class maid beside Mrs. Qu. She usually has to curry favor with her. Now Mrs. Qu is angry, and her stern voice frightens her.
The woman knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Yes... yes..."
"Wait a minute." The gatekeeper stammered two yes words, but was interrupted by Mrs. Qu. This time, Mrs. Qu asked everyone to go out, except for the most trusted mother Cai who stayed behind. with.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Mrs. Qu's face was also gloomy, and she stared at the gatekeeper with a somewhat unkind look.
The woman who watched the door swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and finally calmed down a bit, and said in a trembling voice: "Because the servant is resting today, so I didn't go out at home. Just after lunch, someone knocked on the door vigorously, and the servant opened the door. It was found that it was a child who belonged to a nearby neighbor. He gave the letter to the servant, saying that it was given to him by a beautiful sister, and asked him to give the letter to the servant. The servant thought that someone else was playing with the servant, but Looking at the paper, it was so good that most people could afford it, so he took the letter back and asked the servant's daughter to read it to the servant. Although the servant did not know whether it was true or not, the matter was really serious. After making up my mind, I hurried to report to Madam..."
Mrs. Qu's complexion also changed after hearing that.
She basically believed the words in this letter - how should I put it, most people don't even know that Gu Mingxuan had contact with her son, let alone pointed out that Gu Mingxuan had tickle powder on her body.
Therefore, Gu Mingxuan killed her son!
She knew that a bitch like Gu Mingxuan was definitely not a good thing, otherwise, how could she seduce her son.
Gritting her teeth, Mrs. Qu read the letter again.
Where is Gu Mingxuan's personal belongings in her husband?
Mrs. Qu's heart moved... She knew that the husband wanted Jiang'er to marry Gu Mingxuan, and the husband seemed to be very sure. At the time, she didn't know why, but now that the letter said so, Mrs. Qu did not Some understand why the husband is so sure that the Gu family will agree.
There was a light in her eyes.
This letter must be written by Gu Mingxuan's enemy... No, no, it should be written by the enemy of the Marquis of Shun'an, otherwise, he would not have told himself such important information.
She is used to the fights in the inner house, and she understands very well that once the private property of her daughter's family is in the hands of others, it is considered good to be able to marry that person. Most of them either entered the temple or died of illness...
Thinking that Gu Mingxuan, who killed her son, would die, Madam Qu's heart was filled with excitement and pleasure. She murdered her son, and made him miserable. If Gu Mingxuan was still at ease, she would be so angry that she would die.
Mrs. Qu took a deep breath, glanced at the caretaker who was kneeling on the ground, pondered for a while, and finally decided to let the caretaker go, so she said to the caretaker: "Your loyalty, Madam I know, and I am very relieved... It's just that this letter, I don't know who is talking nonsense, trying to bite our family, so as not to offend others, this matter, just pass it by, you know?"
The doorkeeper woman didn't know what Mrs. Qu was thinking about, but she knew that she would not let go of this matter easily just because of Mrs. Qu's angry look just now.
However, Mrs. Qu told her to shut up and not to say anything, the housekeeper still understood, so she hurriedly expressed her loyalty and said that she was the safest...
and many more.
Mrs. Qu impatiently listened to her talking, and waved her hand to let Mama Cai admire the gatekeeper. After the gatekeeper left, Mrs. Qu shook her arm vigorously and swept away all the tea decorations on the small table. on the ground.
The crisp sound came out of the house, but everyone seemed to not hear it. She looked at the place where they should stay, but they knew that they must be careful when they were recently different.
In the room, Madam Cai was taken aback when she saw Mrs. Qu acting like this, she hastily and carefully lifted Mrs. Qu's arm to examine carefully, and said with concern: "Madam, even if you are angry, don't make trouble with your body." Yes, I hurt my hand carefully."
Mrs. Qu shed tears, and showed the letter in her hand to Mama Cai. Mama Cai was shocked when she saw it, but in her heart, she was shocked, angry and disgusted with the young lady of the Gu family.
A little girl's family dares to be so cruel, it's really...
The second young master is just a young Muai, if you don’t want to, you don’t want to, why do you have to do it so hard—Mother Cai only vaguely knows that Master Qu and Qu Linjiang are interested in Gu Mingxuan, but she doesn’t know about other things, but at this moment, she also sees Something is wrong.
But so what, Mrs. Qu was raised by her, and the second young master, Qu Linjiang, was also raised by her. It is quite normal that her heart is partial to them.
Therefore, even though she knew that the Qu family might be plotting against Gu Mingxuan, Mama Cai only hated Gu Mingxuan, but she didn't feel that the Qu family had done anything wrong.
Mrs. Qu said fiercely: "When I get the things from the master, I must let that little bitch die!"
Mother Cai understands Madam Qu's meaning, but she disagrees with Madam Qu's words, she said: "As Marquis Shun'an dotes on his daughter, I'm afraid he won't do anything to that little slut, madam..."
Lowering her head, Mama Cai whispered softly in Madam Qu's ear. Madam Qu's complexion gradually became excited when she heard the words. He won't do anything to that little slut, but if this private thing falls into the hands of those dudes, maybe it will be of some use.
I vaguely heard that the eldest son of Tongzheng Si Zuo Tongzheng's family has been lame since he was a child, so he likes to torture people the most. In his family, countless maids die every year. If these things are given to him...
In Madam Qu's heart, there was a twisted pleasure - Gu Mingxuan, just wait, you hurt my son, and I will let you never even think about living a good life.
The most urgent thing is to take those things out from the husband's side first. Mrs. Qu clenched her fists tightly, and flames ignited in her eyes.
Of course, in Mrs. Qu's heart, she would also guess who sent her the letter?Who is that beautiful sister?
She was also very clear that others were using her as a weapon again, but Gu Mingxuan made her son so miserable, even if Mrs. Qu knew she was being used as a weapon, she couldn't stop herself from pushing Gu Mingxuan into the fire pit.
But at this moment, Biru had already returned to the Marquis of Shun'an Mansion. On the surface, she was holding some cosmetics from her daughter's house. After entering the house, Biru looked at Gu Minghe. Gu Minghe understood, and asked Dan Yan to go out to guard The door was closed, only Biru was left to speak.
Seeing Gu Minghe's gaze, Bi Ru said: "Miss, don't worry, this servant watched the woman come out of the Qu's house happily, and this servant also saw that she took out the broken silver and bit it. , must have gotten the reward from Mrs. Qu."
When Gu Minghe heard this, a gentle smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. She smiled and lowered her head, and blew away the froth on the tea——Gu Mingxuan, the sunshine given to you by the third prince will not go away, but you are going to kill Qu Linjiang, Since you like single-plank bridges, I'll take you up there.
Even if you fell into the river because of this, you can't blame me, you can choose the road yourself.
With a light breath, Gu Minghe felt infinitely happy. She didn't know what Mrs. Qu would do, but no matter what Mrs. Qu did, it would definitely not make Gu Mingxuan feel better.
As for herself, anyway, she writes with her left hand, which is quite different from her usual handwriting, and she is not afraid of finding her at all.
Smiling, Gu Minghe continued to paint gently, a picture of frost and chrysanthemums gradually took shape under her hands, Gu Minghe smiled slightly, she felt that she was this chrysanthemum, after killing Baihua, she was proud of frost and snow, Ling Yufeng alone.
After the painting was finished, Gu Minghe quietly admired it for a while, then hired a maid to wash her hands and change her clothes, put on her makeup again, and Gu Minghe brought her new painting to see Mrs. Cui.
If you draw well, you will have the opportunity to express yourself, and your grandmother will pay more attention to it...
Now, she needs a chance, a chance to show her talent and beauty again, this time, she must be a blockbuster!
After the chrysanthemums wither, the plum blossoms will bloom. I don't know if Princess Anping's plum blossom banquet will open this year... She has already prepared a good poem and plans to amaze everyone at the plum blossom feast.
This time, she will not leak this poem in advance, no matter who it is, she will not say it, she must save it for the day of the plum appreciation feast.
With a proud mood, Gu Minghe came to Cui Shi's main hall with a smile. After entering, he talked with Cui Shi, showed Cui Shi his paintings, modestly said that he needed grandmother's guidance, and so on.
Seeing Gu Minghe like this, Cui felt complicated. She didn't know how she could raise such a vicious granddaughter. Yes, the third girl has always been gentle and pleasant, so how could she be so cruel.
If it weren't for the solid evidence, Cui couldn't believe it.
She was on guard from the bottom of her heart, but Cui's face was very happy, and she repeatedly praised Gu Minghe's paintings, which made Gu Minghe feel extremely superior.
Not long after, when everyone came to pay their respects, Gu Minghe's Frost Chrysanthemum Picture was seen by more people and received more praise.
Gu Mingxuan also praised Gu Minghe, really, Gu Minghe's talent is really good, but his heart is too big.
When Gu Minghe heard Gu Mingxuan's praise, he still smiled gently and decently. He didn't show complacency or pride at all, but became more humble.
Gu Mingling looked at it, and curled her lips, but since the marriage was settled, she tried her best to make herself stable, so she just curled her lips, and didn't say anything to Gu Minghe's flaunting behavior.
After leaving Rong'an Hall and returning to Tsinghua Garden, Gu Mingxuan changed into homely clothes and began to write. After two days, Gu Mingxuan heard a piece of news!
It's about Feng Qingli!
(End of this chapter)
Why did Feng Qingli write a letter to herself?When did he become so polite?
In Gu Mingxuan's mind, Feng Qingli should be the kind of person who would come here directly when she had something to do. His Royal Highness Prince Yong should disdain this way of writing letters.
After reading a few sentences, Gu Mingxuan realized that Feng Qingli had secretly left Beijing again, so she wrote a letter instead of visiting Tsinghua Garden at night.
Last time in Shannan Road, although the fifth prince won and benefited a lot, the power of the third prince should not be underestimated. Therefore, some important criminal evidence was destroyed. An important person came to take the blame, and Feng Qingli found some clues this time, and it seemed that he could pull down a more important person from the hands of the third prince, so Feng Qingli came out of Beijing to direct in person.
It just so happened that he was grounded now, and no one would be surprised if he didn't show up for ten days and half a month.
Gu Mingxuan was a little worried, Feng Qingli left like this, it would be difficult for others to break into Prince Yong's mansion to look for Feng Qingli, but if the third prince became suspicious, he would go to "visit" Feng Qingli, but others could not stop her of……
It's just that she was worried, but it was useless. She only hoped that Feng Qingli could come back soon, so that no one would find his trace.
After letting go of this matter, Gu Mingxuan had a very good time in the next few days, but after a few days, the criticism against Feng Qingli in the capital suddenly reached another level.
When Xiaofeng told Gu Mingxuan about this matter, Gu Mingxuan couldn't help frowning.
She asked someone to investigate, before the third prince and others spread rumors, but because of the emperor's protection, it has gradually subsided in the past few days, why now, it is suddenly noisy again?
She had to ask Xiaofeng and Commander Tao to jointly investigate secretly.
In the end, Commander Tao asked Xiaofeng to reciprocate, but Gu Mingxuan couldn't help frowning—the third prince's people were still spreading messages steadily, but recently, people from Concubine Shu's natal family also participated.
Concubine Shu has no son of her own, and she is Feng Qingli's adoptive mother. It should be said that she and Feng Qingli are of one mind. Why is Concubine Shu's family spreading messages that are not good for Feng Qingli?
This is not common sense.
Gu Mingxuan decided to wait and see, but hurriedly asked Xiaofeng to send a letter to Feng Qingli, fearing that Feng Qingli would suffer because of the lack of news.
When Xiaofeng said that the letter had been delivered, Gu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that while she was concerned about other matters, the Sun family had already completed the correspondence with Gu Wenliang and started to discuss matters with the Bao family.
The Bao family already had a tacit understanding with the Sun family, but Mrs. Bao had already met Gu Mingling, but the Sun family had not met the young master of the Bao family. Therefore, on this day, when the weather was fine, Mrs. Bao brought her youngest son He came to the door, and on the surface it was to say hello to Mrs. Cui, but in fact, everyone knew it well.
Gu Mingxuan waited to greet Mrs. Bao first, and after waiting for some gifts, the maid reported that the young master of the Bao family had come to greet Mrs. Cui.
Gu Mingling, Gu Mingxuan and the others knew that the business was coming, Qiqi hid in the green gauze cabinet in Cui's house, and quietly looked at the young master of the Bao family who was saluting Cui.
Gu Mingxuan looked over, and saw that the young master of the Bao family was neither tall nor short, with a slender figure. Although he was tall, his eyebrows and eyes were full of heroism, and there was the unique clarity and sunshine of young people, which was similar to that of Cui's family. When speaking, he speaks at a slightly faster speed, humble but not rigid. Obviously, the young master of the Bao family is a slightly lively person.
It is also good to match Gu Mingling.
Gu Mingxuan suppressed her laughter, poked Gu Mingling, and said, "This young master of the Bao family is so impolite. I am also an older sister, so he didn't prepare any gifts for me... and Sister Wen, the third younger sister and the fourth younger sister didn't have any presents. ...For such a stingy family, the second sister is still..."
Gu Mingling became impatient, stretched out her hand to cover Gu Mingxuan's mouth, and said in a hateful voice: "Big sister, what are you talking about, how can you ask someone for a gift!"
Gu Mingxuan slowly took Gu Mingling's hand covering her mouth, and said with a smile: "Second sister has not entered the house yet, and she is so close to the Bao family's money, really..."
This is the first daughter of Shun'an Houfu's generation to see each other. Gu Yuwen and Gu Minghe are a little strange, and they can't help laughing when they hear this, which makes Gu Mingling more and more shy.
However, shyness is shyness, Gu Mingling still looked at the young master of the Bao family several times, and felt that he was still pleasing to the eye, so he was somewhat satisfied.
Gu Mingxuan stopped teasing her.
Mrs. Sun has a very good impression of the young son of the Bao family. They all say that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her son-in-law, the happier she is. It is very hopeful that he will pass the exam, and Mrs. Sun is very satisfied.
When talking with Mrs. Bao, the conversation said that when the young master of the Bao family is about to end, he can live in the Sun's house for a while. The Sun family doesn't have many other things, but there are many people who are well-educated. Madam Bao is even happier when she hears this. .
If it's just the Marquis of Shun'an, she might not be willing to get married, after all, it's the general's family, isn't it?
But the Sun family is different. The Sun family is a family of scholars. In the future, after the son becomes a Jinshi, he will need a lot of support from the Sun family. What the Sun family said made Mrs. Bao even more happy. The Sun family is slowly becoming a scholar. Don't have too much experience.
The difference between someone mentioning something and no one mentioning it is not a little bit.
The two talked more and more happily, and then, under the walking of Taichang Siqing's wife, they began to discuss the matter of engagement - Taichang Siqing is one of the Xiaojiu Qing, and Taichang Siqing's wife is a famous Quanfu people - the parents-in-law above are complete, there are many brothers and sisters in the middle, and the sons and daughters under him have several good characters, and even the great-grandson already has one. Please use his wife as a matchmaker, which shows the sincerity of the Bao family.
Since then, Gu Mingling no longer went to women's school, but was detained by Mrs. Sun at home every day, or studied housekeeping with Mrs. Sun, or embroidered dowry in the house by herself.
It is best to embroider the wedding dress for the daughter's family, so that she can be happy and healthy--of course, the wedding dress is extremely cumbersome and gorgeous, and ordinary boudoir daughters would not do such things that hurt the eyes, so In fact, many people are looking for an embroiderer to embroider the wedding dress for the young lady who is about to get married, and the young lady basically only embroiders a hijab, and is making some small items such as shoes, purses, and handkerchiefs for her in-laws.
Of course, Mrs. Sun was reluctant to let Gu Mingling hurt her eyes so much, so she only let Gu Mingling embroider the hijab. As for the wedding dress, when Gu Mingling starts and ends, it will be considered complete.
However, even if this is the case, it will take a lot of time to make some small pieces, and besides, Gu Mingling still has to learn other things.
In this way, Gu Mingling would only appear in the morning and evening when he greeted Mrs. Cui.
Gu Mingxuan and Gu Mingling got along better later on. Seeing Gu Mingling like this, Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but tease her, making Gu Mingling feel sweet and ashamed, so that it was convenient for Gu Mingxuan to play around after a while. , stopped talking to Gu Mingxuan.
Gu Mingxuan only looked at her with a smile.
Because they are very satisfied with each other, the marriage was settled very quickly. They met at the end of September, and at the beginning of October, the Bao family had already invited the wife of the Minister of Taichang Temple to come to propose marriage.
After seeing off the wife of Taichang Siqing, Lurui told Gu Mingxuan that it was Gu Wenqian who asked her to go to the study to talk.
Gu Mingxuan raised her eyebrows. Her father, Gu Wenqian, went out again during this time. She hasn't seen him for many days. What's going on today?After changing her clothes, Gu Mingxuan went to Gu Wenqian's study.
"Father, are you looking for me?" Gu Mingxuan went to the study and asked after saluting Gu Wenqian.
Then Gu Mingxuan noticed that Gu Wenqian's face was a bit embarrassed, it seemed that what he wanted to say was very embarrassing and difficult to speak.
Gu Mingxuan was a little curious, what happened to her father?Is there anything you can't say?
Seeing that Gu Wenqian was in a dilemma, Gu Mingxuan said considerately: "If father has something to say, just say it. My daughter listens. It's a difficult thing. Only when you speak out can you find a solution."
Hearing this, Gu Wenqian couldn't help sighing. He looked at Gu Mingxuan carefully, but saw that the scar on his daughter's forehead had faded a lot. After applying makeup, it was only a little bit fainter. It has grown a lot and looks more and more like a wife.
In my heart, I feel a little sad.
The niece, Gu Mingling, has already been engaged, and the daughter is older than the niece, yet she has not been settled yet... Thinking of this, Gu Wenqian felt flustered in his heart—although he didn't want his daughter to marry early, but her marriage was difficult, and he even more so. Worry.
Moreover, talking about her daughter's marriage should always be for women to talk about, but, like He's... Gu Wenqian couldn't help frowning, He's absolutely impossible, her heart is too poisonous.
I had no choice but to go into battle by myself.
At this moment, facing Gu Mingxuan's clear eyes, Gu Wenqian hesitated for a while, then couldn't help but speak vaguely, and said, "Well, it's like this, father has a general under his command, he has made meritorious service recently, because mother He is not in good health. In order to treat his mother, he gave up staying in the frontier army and was promoted to be the governor of the Jingwei commander. He will go to Beijing soon, but there is only an old mother and a small Maid girl, there is no one else in the family, so I hope my father can help him buy a small house in the capital, so that after he comes to Beijing, the old mother will not have to work so hard and can live in it directly. I'm not good at things, I don't know if it's convenient for Xuan Erfang to help me?"
Is it a general who has made meritorious service under his father's command?He was actually promoted to the governor of Jingwei Commander Division, but he was a military officer from the fifth rank, and according to his father, that person was from a poor family, and if the poor family can be promoted to the fifth rank, even many children of honorable families will work hard all their lives. But that's all, not even to that point.
Gu Mingxuan was really surprised.
Moreover, since he would ask his father's head, it shows that his father still appreciates him...
And what he asked for was not a big deal. My father probably wanted to win over this person, so he asked me to help with things. After all, if a foreigner comes to the capital and is new to the city, he may have some trouble finding a house. , but at any rate, the Marquis of Shun'an's Mansion is also a big family standing in the capital. To do these things, it is very convenient to just order someone from Yahang to come.
Therefore, Gu Mingxuan said with a smile: "It's not difficult, but I don't know, is the other party planning to rent or buy? Are there any special requirements? Do you want to be on the street, or do you want to be quiet? Do you want a yard close to it? Knowing the request of the other party, my daughter can ask someone to inquire to see if there is a suitable house."
When Gu Wenqian heard Gu Mingxuan's well-organized words, he immediately felt happy in his heart. His daughter has grown up and can think about things.
He smiled all over his face and said: "He wants to live in Beijing for a long time, so he hopes to buy a small courtyard with a second entrance. He hopes that it will not be too far from the medical center. There are no special requirements, as long as life is convenient. As for money, this Fortunately, he got some rewards after his meritorious deeds, and if we make up, he can still get 200 taels."
Gu Mingxuan is not very familiar with housing prices in the capital, but she also knows that 200 taels of silver will definitely not be able to buy a house in a prosperous area, even a slightly better area. At this price, you can't buy a good yard, but a slightly remote one The place, the money is enough.
Therefore, she said: "This money is really not too much. My daughter, let someone go and see if there is any suitable one. If there is, then help him buy it. If not, let's tidy up a house in our house first." The other courtyard for him to live in, or let’s add some money to find a suitable one to buy, and let him pay it off slowly.”
"So... that's fine." Gu Wenqian felt that this was okay, so he nodded. As for what he wanted to say, he planned to wait for a while.
It's not easy for him to tell his daughter directly that he thinks this general has good character, talent and appearance, and is very suitable to be a son-in-law. Daughter, do you want to think about it...
If not, let your subordinates see the virtuousness of your daughter first, and then slowly figure it out...the only downside is that the man is a little poorer and has no family support...but if things come to fruition, he will definitely He will help his son-in-law, and besides, he has good talents and can become a great talent.
Gu Wenqian thought very beautifully.
Gu Mingxuan didn't know that her father had such an idea in her heart, she was just a little strange, her father told herself about such a small matter, why should it be so embarrassing?
Forget it, maybe my father felt that he was still young, and he was afraid that he would not be able to handle things well.
Gu Mingxuan then asked Lurui to call over Mrs. Ni, who was in charge of buying cosmetics in the mansion. This Mrs. Ni could speak well, and her son had something to do with the driver outside the mansion, so he should be quite familiar with him.
When Mrs. Ni heard that Miss Gu Mingxuan had summoned her, she rushed over in a hurry. The Miss is now the favorite of the old lady and Lord Hou, and she cannot be offended.
Moreover, the young lady holds the dowry of the princess princess in her hands, and she is always very generous when giving rewards...
Mrs. Ni came soon, and Gu Mingxuan didn't say much, just told what Gu Wenqian had ordered, and then asked Mrs. Ni to try her best to find a house near the Siyamen of the Jingwei Commander. When the time comes, she will go to see it in person. , if the errand is done well, there will be a reward.
As soon as Mrs. Ni heard that the matter was ordered by Lord Hou, she dared to be negligent and said hastily: "Miss, don't worry, this servant will do her best, and she will definitely not disappoint the trust of the eldest lady."
Gu Mingxuan smiled, and ordered Lurui to reward Granny Ni. Seeing that Gu Mingxuan had finished what she wanted to say, Lurui said to Granny Ni: "Mama has worked hard, why don't you try the tea that our lady gave you... "
Grandma Ni went down with Lurui, drank tea, and ate two exquisite snacks. Before leaving, Lurui asked the little girl to wrap some more for Grandma Ni. From the inside to the outside, she smiled reservedly and obsequiously, making Lurui couldn't help but smile softly.
This incident spread to other people's ears the next day. Gu Minghe couldn't help but gritted his teeth when he heard it. His father was really biased, and he would only think of Gu Mingxuan for everything.
A ruthless light flashed in her eyes, and after patiently serving Mrs. Cui, she went back to the room by herself, gritted her teeth and sat there for a long time before Gu Minghe called Bi Ru and asked Bi Ru to go out to do something.
After Bi Ru heard Gu Minghe's order, she followed her instructions and left the house.
Biru leaves the Shun'an Hou Mansion and arrives at a silk and satin village.
The silk and satin shops here, although they sell silks and satins, are actually cheap. They are defective products that cannot be sold in ordinary silk and satin shops or old styles from previous years. People like to buy some silk and satin here to wear, and the Qu family lives nearby, and the maids of the Qu family often visit, and now, Bi Ru is going to do one thing, this thing, related to composers.
Bi Ru is looking for a woman who is the gatekeeper of the Qu family, that woman is greedy for money, as long as she is given some money, she can be let to do things - after Gu Minghe knew that the third prince had chosen the second son of the Qu family, he began to consciously I want to get in touch with the servants of the Qu family so as to make things difficult for Gu Mingxuan in the future.
This housekeeper is one of Gu Minghe's chosen targets, so I have inquired about her.
Bi Ru didn't go directly to the woman, but instead found a child, gave him two copper coins, and then asked him to deliver a purse to the Qu family, the housekeeper.
The janitor lived not far from the silk and satin village, and the child knew it.
Biru told the child that as long as he delivered it, he could get five copper coins when he came back later.
The child's eyes lit up when he heard that there were still copper coins to take, and immediately ran to the house of the housekeeper and knocked on the door vigorously.
The door opened amidst a burst of yelling and cursing, Bi Ru immediately retreated after seeing the figure of the woman appearing, instead of going to the silk and satin shop, she turned away directly and went to the nearby rouge shop to hang out.
Bi Ru knew that this woman could not read and write, but her daughter could. This letter must be enough for that woman to read.
Bi Ru had a good idea. After the woman got the letter, she thought it was someone's prank, but it didn't look like it after thinking about it. After all, ordinary people can't afford that snow-white paper, let alone use it as an envelope.
So he went in with the letter and showed it to his daughter.
The mother-in-law's daughter opened the letter and found that there were only three sentences written on it.
The first sentence is: Miss Gu has an itch medicine in her hand, which can make people itch.
The second sentence is: Mr. Qu has Miss Gu's personal belongings, and if he gets it, he can ruin Miss Gu's reputation.
The third sentence is: This plan is dedicated to Mrs. Qu, and you can get a silver reward and have a promising future.
"Mother, what exactly does this mean? Miss Gu, what kind of itching medicine?" The mother-in-law's daughter couldn't help asking.
These three sentences can be seen at a glance, especially the second sentence. Although I don’t know who this Miss Gu is, but someone who can be called Miss Gu must have a good family background. No matter how I think about it, I feel that these three sentences The meaning in the words is infinite.
The mother-in-law's daughter is very interested.
After the mother-in-law heard her daughter read it, she stopped suddenly, and then snatched the letter from her daughter's hand, then fell down on the kang, her complexion began to change uncertainly.
Is this letter credible?
She doesn't care who sent the letter, or what the sender's purpose is, the caretaker knows very well that in the eyes of those big shots, she is nothing more than an ant, and even if they want to harm others, they will only harm their masters. family, instead of harming a little guy like herself, so what other people want to achieve has nothing to do with her...
She just didn't know whether the news on the letter was true or not, so she didn't know if she could tell Madam about this...
After a long time, the housekeeper made up her mind that she would present the letter directly. In this way, even if the news in the letter was false, the madam would not blame her a woman.
It would be even better if the news in the letter was true - she had also vaguely heard about the second young master, so she knew that Madam hated the person who caused the second young master to death.
The gatekeeper immediately got up, changed into good clothes, and went back to Qu's house to see Mrs. Qu.
After the lady next to Mrs. Qu got the news that the gatekeeper wanted to see her, she was a little funny-although the gatekeeper's status was higher than those rough envoys, they were still limited. Generally speaking , or the bottom of the servants——she is not the concierge of the gate, only a servant with a head and a face can be a servant.
But the woman only insisted on seeing Mrs. Qu, and said that there was something very important, very very important, and she needed to see Mrs. Qu, a second-class maid beside Mrs. Qu said it solemnly, and she wanted to Looking at the gatekeeper, no matter how courageous she is, she would not dare to fool Madam, so she looked at the gatekeeper with a smile and said: "In that case, I will go to Madam to inform, but I have to Tell mom to know, it's not up to me whether Madam will see mom or not."
"It's really troublesome girl, troublesome." The gatekeeper smiled all over her face, and complimented the maid a few times, and the maid covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Mom, wait here, madam is taking medicine. , I don't dare to disturb, I have to wait a while."
The gatekeeper said repeatedly that she knew, she was tired, and she waited happily when she saw the maid entered the room.
Unexpectedly, not long after, a servant girl came in a hurry, saying that the second young master packed his bags and wanted to leave home.
Mrs. Qu was so frightened that her son was lying in bed for more than ten days, and finally he was willing to get out of bed, but in the end he wanted to leave home. Wouldn't this be like gouging out Mrs. Qu's heart?
Mrs. Qu arrived at Qu Linjiang's yard, saw the package that Qu Linjiang had packed up, and immediately cried out, but Qu Linjiang was not so sad anymore. He helped Mrs. Qu sit down, and wiped Mrs. Qu's tears, Then he heard the words and said: "Mother, you don't have to worry, my son just wants to go out and relax."
"Relaxing, we also have two villages outside the city. My mother will let someone clean it up now. No one has lived there for a long time, so I need to clean it up. Now the weather is cold, and the brazier, silver frost, charcoal and the like must be prepared. , the house needs to be fumigated first... But don't worry, Jiang'er, my son will be able to live in the day after tomorrow at the most."
After hearing what Qu Linjiang said, Mrs. Qu said hurriedly.
Qu Linjiang held Mrs. Qu's body as she was about to leave, sighed, and said, "Mother, my son wants to go for a walk, and everyone says that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. My son only read books before. I haven't seen it outside, so I want to go out and have a look..."
Mrs. Qu stopped talking.
In fact, she knew what her son meant, why it was better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, but she just wanted to go far away from her.
It's not because I lost my ugliness and felt sad...
There were tears in Mrs. Qu's eyes.
She hated the man who murdered her son to death.
Qu Linjiang felt sad when he saw that his mother was just crying but didn't vomit. If he had a sense of superiority before and felt that many people were inferior to him in front of him, after this incident, Qu Linjiang I feel like I'm stuck in a quagmire now.
No longer innocent.
Now whenever he sees other people joking, he always feels that he is laughing at himself... In this way, he feels that he is going crazy, so he wants to go far.
Neither Mrs. Qu's tears nor Qu Linjiang's silence persuaded anyone.
After a stalemate for an hour, Qu Linjiang finally let people unpack his burden, which showed his attitude, and in this way, Mrs. Qu finally felt relieved.
After Mrs. Qu cried for a while and went back to her yard to tidy up, it was already getting late.
The caretaker is still waiting!
And that servant girl, who followed Mrs. Qu, was surprised to see that the housekeeper was still there, and then said a few words in Mrs. Qu's ear. Mrs. Qu didn't want to see her at first, but Finally nodded.
The maid waved to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper was overjoyed.
Although she waited for more than an hour, as long as she could see Madam, she would be satisfied.
The mother-in-law glanced at the people around, and Madam Qu became curious, so she waved her hand and let all the little maids go out, leaving only two close-fitting ones.
The woman then took out the letter and handed it to Mrs. Qu respectfully.
The maid beside Mrs. Qu took the letter and presented it to Mrs. Qu.
Mrs. Qu opened the letter, only glanced at it, then suddenly changed her expression, stared at the woman fiercely, and asked, "Where did you get this letter?"
The gatekeeper was frightened by Mrs. Qu's sudden change of expression and knelt down, trembling slightly.
Not to mention Mrs. Qu, she is the second-class maid beside Mrs. Qu. She usually has to curry favor with her. Now Mrs. Qu is angry, and her stern voice frightens her.
The woman knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Yes... yes..."
"Wait a minute." The gatekeeper stammered two yes words, but was interrupted by Mrs. Qu. This time, Mrs. Qu asked everyone to go out, except for the most trusted mother Cai who stayed behind. with.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Mrs. Qu's face was also gloomy, and she stared at the gatekeeper with a somewhat unkind look.
The woman who watched the door swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and finally calmed down a bit, and said in a trembling voice: "Because the servant is resting today, so I didn't go out at home. Just after lunch, someone knocked on the door vigorously, and the servant opened the door. It was found that it was a child who belonged to a nearby neighbor. He gave the letter to the servant, saying that it was given to him by a beautiful sister, and asked him to give the letter to the servant. The servant thought that someone else was playing with the servant, but Looking at the paper, it was so good that most people could afford it, so he took the letter back and asked the servant's daughter to read it to the servant. Although the servant did not know whether it was true or not, the matter was really serious. After making up my mind, I hurried to report to Madam..."
Mrs. Qu's complexion also changed after hearing that.
She basically believed the words in this letter - how should I put it, most people don't even know that Gu Mingxuan had contact with her son, let alone pointed out that Gu Mingxuan had tickle powder on her body.
Therefore, Gu Mingxuan killed her son!
She knew that a bitch like Gu Mingxuan was definitely not a good thing, otherwise, how could she seduce her son.
Gritting her teeth, Mrs. Qu read the letter again.
Where is Gu Mingxuan's personal belongings in her husband?
Mrs. Qu's heart moved... She knew that the husband wanted Jiang'er to marry Gu Mingxuan, and the husband seemed to be very sure. At the time, she didn't know why, but now that the letter said so, Mrs. Qu did not Some understand why the husband is so sure that the Gu family will agree.
There was a light in her eyes.
This letter must be written by Gu Mingxuan's enemy... No, no, it should be written by the enemy of the Marquis of Shun'an, otherwise, he would not have told himself such important information.
She is used to the fights in the inner house, and she understands very well that once the private property of her daughter's family is in the hands of others, it is considered good to be able to marry that person. Most of them either entered the temple or died of illness...
Thinking that Gu Mingxuan, who killed her son, would die, Madam Qu's heart was filled with excitement and pleasure. She murdered her son, and made him miserable. If Gu Mingxuan was still at ease, she would be so angry that she would die.
Mrs. Qu took a deep breath, glanced at the caretaker who was kneeling on the ground, pondered for a while, and finally decided to let the caretaker go, so she said to the caretaker: "Your loyalty, Madam I know, and I am very relieved... It's just that this letter, I don't know who is talking nonsense, trying to bite our family, so as not to offend others, this matter, just pass it by, you know?"
The doorkeeper woman didn't know what Mrs. Qu was thinking about, but she knew that she would not let go of this matter easily just because of Mrs. Qu's angry look just now.
However, Mrs. Qu told her to shut up and not to say anything, the housekeeper still understood, so she hurriedly expressed her loyalty and said that she was the safest...
and many more.
Mrs. Qu impatiently listened to her talking, and waved her hand to let Mama Cai admire the gatekeeper. After the gatekeeper left, Mrs. Qu shook her arm vigorously and swept away all the tea decorations on the small table. on the ground.
The crisp sound came out of the house, but everyone seemed to not hear it. She looked at the place where they should stay, but they knew that they must be careful when they were recently different.
In the room, Madam Cai was taken aback when she saw Mrs. Qu acting like this, she hastily and carefully lifted Mrs. Qu's arm to examine carefully, and said with concern: "Madam, even if you are angry, don't make trouble with your body." Yes, I hurt my hand carefully."
Mrs. Qu shed tears, and showed the letter in her hand to Mama Cai. Mama Cai was shocked when she saw it, but in her heart, she was shocked, angry and disgusted with the young lady of the Gu family.
A little girl's family dares to be so cruel, it's really...
The second young master is just a young Muai, if you don’t want to, you don’t want to, why do you have to do it so hard—Mother Cai only vaguely knows that Master Qu and Qu Linjiang are interested in Gu Mingxuan, but she doesn’t know about other things, but at this moment, she also sees Something is wrong.
But so what, Mrs. Qu was raised by her, and the second young master, Qu Linjiang, was also raised by her. It is quite normal that her heart is partial to them.
Therefore, even though she knew that the Qu family might be plotting against Gu Mingxuan, Mama Cai only hated Gu Mingxuan, but she didn't feel that the Qu family had done anything wrong.
Mrs. Qu said fiercely: "When I get the things from the master, I must let that little bitch die!"
Mother Cai understands Madam Qu's meaning, but she disagrees with Madam Qu's words, she said: "As Marquis Shun'an dotes on his daughter, I'm afraid he won't do anything to that little slut, madam..."
Lowering her head, Mama Cai whispered softly in Madam Qu's ear. Madam Qu's complexion gradually became excited when she heard the words. He won't do anything to that little slut, but if this private thing falls into the hands of those dudes, maybe it will be of some use.
I vaguely heard that the eldest son of Tongzheng Si Zuo Tongzheng's family has been lame since he was a child, so he likes to torture people the most. In his family, countless maids die every year. If these things are given to him...
In Madam Qu's heart, there was a twisted pleasure - Gu Mingxuan, just wait, you hurt my son, and I will let you never even think about living a good life.
The most urgent thing is to take those things out from the husband's side first. Mrs. Qu clenched her fists tightly, and flames ignited in her eyes.
Of course, in Mrs. Qu's heart, she would also guess who sent her the letter?Who is that beautiful sister?
She was also very clear that others were using her as a weapon again, but Gu Mingxuan made her son so miserable, even if Mrs. Qu knew she was being used as a weapon, she couldn't stop herself from pushing Gu Mingxuan into the fire pit.
But at this moment, Biru had already returned to the Marquis of Shun'an Mansion. On the surface, she was holding some cosmetics from her daughter's house. After entering the house, Biru looked at Gu Minghe. Gu Minghe understood, and asked Dan Yan to go out to guard The door was closed, only Biru was left to speak.
Seeing Gu Minghe's gaze, Bi Ru said: "Miss, don't worry, this servant watched the woman come out of the Qu's house happily, and this servant also saw that she took out the broken silver and bit it. , must have gotten the reward from Mrs. Qu."
When Gu Minghe heard this, a gentle smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. She smiled and lowered her head, and blew away the froth on the tea——Gu Mingxuan, the sunshine given to you by the third prince will not go away, but you are going to kill Qu Linjiang, Since you like single-plank bridges, I'll take you up there.
Even if you fell into the river because of this, you can't blame me, you can choose the road yourself.
With a light breath, Gu Minghe felt infinitely happy. She didn't know what Mrs. Qu would do, but no matter what Mrs. Qu did, it would definitely not make Gu Mingxuan feel better.
As for herself, anyway, she writes with her left hand, which is quite different from her usual handwriting, and she is not afraid of finding her at all.
Smiling, Gu Minghe continued to paint gently, a picture of frost and chrysanthemums gradually took shape under her hands, Gu Minghe smiled slightly, she felt that she was this chrysanthemum, after killing Baihua, she was proud of frost and snow, Ling Yufeng alone.
After the painting was finished, Gu Minghe quietly admired it for a while, then hired a maid to wash her hands and change her clothes, put on her makeup again, and Gu Minghe brought her new painting to see Mrs. Cui.
If you draw well, you will have the opportunity to express yourself, and your grandmother will pay more attention to it...
Now, she needs a chance, a chance to show her talent and beauty again, this time, she must be a blockbuster!
After the chrysanthemums wither, the plum blossoms will bloom. I don't know if Princess Anping's plum blossom banquet will open this year... She has already prepared a good poem and plans to amaze everyone at the plum blossom feast.
This time, she will not leak this poem in advance, no matter who it is, she will not say it, she must save it for the day of the plum appreciation feast.
With a proud mood, Gu Minghe came to Cui Shi's main hall with a smile. After entering, he talked with Cui Shi, showed Cui Shi his paintings, modestly said that he needed grandmother's guidance, and so on.
Seeing Gu Minghe like this, Cui felt complicated. She didn't know how she could raise such a vicious granddaughter. Yes, the third girl has always been gentle and pleasant, so how could she be so cruel.
If it weren't for the solid evidence, Cui couldn't believe it.
She was on guard from the bottom of her heart, but Cui's face was very happy, and she repeatedly praised Gu Minghe's paintings, which made Gu Minghe feel extremely superior.
Not long after, when everyone came to pay their respects, Gu Minghe's Frost Chrysanthemum Picture was seen by more people and received more praise.
Gu Mingxuan also praised Gu Minghe, really, Gu Minghe's talent is really good, but his heart is too big.
When Gu Minghe heard Gu Mingxuan's praise, he still smiled gently and decently. He didn't show complacency or pride at all, but became more humble.
Gu Mingling looked at it, and curled her lips, but since the marriage was settled, she tried her best to make herself stable, so she just curled her lips, and didn't say anything to Gu Minghe's flaunting behavior.
After leaving Rong'an Hall and returning to Tsinghua Garden, Gu Mingxuan changed into homely clothes and began to write. After two days, Gu Mingxuan heard a piece of news!
It's about Feng Qingli!
