Dirty color

Chapter 76
The night breeze was cool, Gu Mingxuan had finished her homework and was just lying on the bed when she heard two parrots shouting loudly outside the window——

"Beauty, beauty!"

"The beauty is here, the beauty is here!"

While yelling, they flapped their wings, the voice was not loud, but the movement was not small.

Gu Mingxuan was taken aback, then raised her voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

The father-in-law's shrill voice came from outside: "Return to Miss, it's nothing, it's time to feed, I disturbed Miss, you should be damned."

"As long as there is nothing to do, do you feed at this time every day?" She remembered that there seemed to be no such movement yesterday.

"No, it depends on how active they are during the day, the season, their mood, and their physical condition." The voice was still shrill, and she answered her words respectfully, "They are more active today, so they need to be fed again at night. .”

It sounded very reasonable, but Gu Mingxuan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while, so she could only frown to show that she knew.

After the two silly birds made noise for a while, they also quieted down. Gu Mingxuan yawned, and when she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she suddenly woke up!
She knew what was wrong!
Gu Mingxuan clenched her fists, really, she wished she could rush in front of that person right now, and beat him in the face!
Damn soul!

Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but hammered the quilt, gritted her teeth, and after a cold snort, decided to prepare some medicine for herself tomorrow, so as to kill Hun Dan who dared to peep at her bathing.

On the second day, Gu Mingxuan got up and had someone call the two sisters Du Juan and Du Ying, saying that she wanted to ask them if they were used to it.

"It's all very good." Du Juan and Du Ying nodded happily. They have only been here for a day. Although they are still not used to it, their mother doesn't have to wash clothes for other people's houses, and their sisters don't have to go to other people's houses to do odd jobs and be bullied. Someone prepared it and sent it over, and all the sisters also sent their old clothes for themselves to wear.

It feels like falling into a honeypot, it's always sweet.

"If you feel that there is any shortage, just tell Lu Zhu, don't be polite, you know?" Gu Mingxuan said with a smile, and Lu Zhu enthusiastically expressed that she would definitely help.

After a while, Gu Mingxuan sent Lu Zhu out, and then asked Du Juan to take the opportunity to buy medicine for her mother, Cheng Shi, to buy some medicinal materials for her.

Dujuan and Duying immediately worriedly asked: "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm useful, don't tell others." Gu Mingxuan was inconvenient to explain to Du Juan why she was dispensing the medicine, but she just told her not to tell others.

Seeing that it wasn't Gu Mingxuan who was ill, Du Juan and Du Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then solemnly wrote down the medicinal materials that Gu Mingxuan explained.

What Gu Mingxuan gave them were separate notes, and asked them to buy each note at only one store, so that they could go to three stores and buy them all.

Dujuan and Duying were very excited after accepting the task.

This is the first time Miss asks them to do something, they will definitely do well and will never disappoint Miss's expectations.

After explaining the matter, Gu Mingxuan went to greet Mrs. Cui, and when she returned to Tsinghua Garden, she received a message from Aunt Cui. Aunt Cui said that when Dong Yun was applying medicine to Gu Mingzhi this morning, a little girl almost took Yu The bottle was broken, but thanks to Aunt Cui's suggestion, Dongyun told her to look after the jade bottle, otherwise, the evidence would be destroyed.

As for who went to find Juxiang Xiaozhu's girl, and what conditions she used to buy her, she wrote it down in detail. Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but nodded. This Aunt Cui is indeed a careful person. Difficult, but to do these specific things, it touches a master.

Gu Mingxuan smiled slightly, that's it... With a slight movement in her heart, she told Aunt Cui a way.

Aunt Cui smiled slightly after receiving the news of Gu Mingxuan's return. Missy's thoughts coincided with hers, but Missy's method was more clever than hers, and it was not easy to be discovered. , when the time comes, no matter how noisy they are, they will not be involved.

After Gu Mingxuan dealt with this matter, she finally felt a little better, and after the doctor saw it, she said that Nanny Zhuang's wound had healed well, and now that she can walk around properly, Gu Mingxuan was even happier.

Under Zhuang Nanny's gaze, Gu Mingxuan came here once, sitting, lying and walking. Zhuang Nanny nodded and said, "Although Miss is not as delicate as a human being, there is one thing, she is far superior to other daughters."

"Miss's calmness and confidence are unmatched by many people."

Madam Zhuang said approvingly.

Then, Nanny Zhuang said again: "However, the movement of Miss sitting down is still a little stiff, let's do it a few more times."

Gu Mingxuan nodded. In fact, she also knew that she had trained for a long time in her previous life before her body could keep up with the thoughts in her head. In this life, this body is not like her previous life. The degree of flexibility is not enough, naturally there is no way to look as good-looking as in the previous life.

"Mommy, I want to learn sword dance." After pondering for a while, Gu Mingxuan said.

"Sword dance?" After thinking about it for a while, Nanny Zhuang finally nodded and said, "Forget it, sword dance is sword dance. It can not only protect yourself, but also make your body soft. It's also a good dance. Ways, but... Miss is always a little older now, I'm afraid she won't be able to learn anything well."

"Nurse... I don't need to perform on stage. I just heard that learning the sword dance can make the body soft. Didn't you say that at my age, it's too late to learn to dance. Is it too late to learn the sword dance?" " Gu Mingxuan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and Nanny Zhuang also smiled, yes, she forgot for a while.

"Okay, when Nanny recovers, I'll go and invite a female gentleman over." Nanny Zhuang agreed, and then began to guide Gu Mingxuan's every move.

Nanny Zhuang is now training Gu Mingxuan's concentration—that is, let Gu Mingxuan sit and cover her eyes, and then, there are four girls standing in front of, behind, left, and right of Gu Mingxuan. They are holding small cymbals the size of a palm. Whoever clicks will slap the small cymbal suddenly, making a loud sound.

Gu Mingxuan had also been trained in this way in her previous life, and when she was in the book, she was basically able to keep the expression on her face unchanged when the small cymbal suddenly rang, and she would definitely not change her face when she was shocked.

Of course, a little twitching on the face is unavoidable, but it will return to normal in an instant.

In this life, Gu Mingxuan's body will still move reflexively, but the range is not large. Gu Mingxuan also wants to pretend that her reaction is very intense, as if she has never received such training, but, there are some things, you will Pretending not to know is really harder than pretending not to know.

In the end, Gu Mingxuan could only give up the idea of ​​pretending and act according to her truest reaction.

Grandma Zhuang was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask. Some people are naturally more calm, and that's true.

In the afternoon, the two sisters Du Juan came back, and according to Gu Mingxuan's instructions, they took the opportunity to thank Gu Mingxuan and secretly gave the medicinal materials to Gu Mingxuan. Gu Mingxuan praised them greatly, saying that the two little girls were very happy.

However, when she went to see Nanny Zhuang, Nanny Zhuang said to the two of them, "What did Miss ask you to do?"

"Ah?" Du Juan and Du Ying whispered together, how did Mammy know that Miss asked them to do something?They didn't say anything.

Nanny Zhuang smiled and said, "Why, do you think you can hide it from me with your little thoughts? Tell me, what did you do?"

Du Juan and Du Ying bowed their heads together, the young lady said that this matter should not be known to others, even the nanny is an excellent person, but... the young lady said, it cannot be said.

Grandma Zhuang's face tensed, her complexion darkened, her voice became cold, and she said, "Why, don't you even listen to me?"

Grandmother Zhuang was originally the old queen——if she is alive now, she should be the empress dowager——Mother Zhuang was the old man by her side, who accompanied the old queen from queen to queen mother. At that time, even the current queen mother When you see Zhuang Nanny, you have to show some face, let alone an ordinary concubine, so when Zhuang Nanny puts on airs, she is very imposing.

The two sisters felt as if they had done something heinous, guilty and hard to resist.

But, Miss said, don't tell anyone.

So, can't say.

Even though their eyes were red, Du Juan and Du Ying still refused to tell Nanny Zhuang what Gu Mingxuan had told them.

"You really don't want to say it?" Zhuang Nanny was very satisfied with Du Juan and Du Ying in her heart. Now there are many clever people, but people like the two sisters who are both loyal and able to bear it are rare. of.

Although I got Cui's permission yesterday, I can choose maids in the Marquis of Shun'an's mansion to cultivate a confidant for the young lady who will use in the future, but an absolute confidant like a personal maid is not something ordinary people can do.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that God sent such a pair of sisters.

Nanny Zhuang made up her mind that after three years she would be free to leave. She must keep the pair of sisters as her right-hand man.

Although Nanny Zhuang thought so in her heart, the expression on her face was so serious that the two sisters were too frightened to speak out.

Finally, Du Juan whispered, "I can't say it."

"You really can't say it?" Zhuang Nanny pressed again.

"No!" This time, the two sisters spoke in unison. Moreover, their expressions were much firmer than last time, and their voices were much higher. Even the original hesitation in their voices was gone.

Nanny Zhuang smiled, waved to the two of them, and said, "Good boy, you are doing well."

ah?Dujuan and Duying are a little confused, what does this mean?
Mother Zhuang was full of smiles, and she took advantage of this moment to say to the two sisters earnestly: "This Marquis of Shun'an's mansion, you see, is full of gold and jade, but the more rich it is, the more people want to put everything away." They are all held in their own hands, and they are not allowed to be obtained by others. In order to achieve their goals, they compete with each other and do whatever they can. The situation of your young lady is not very good."

"You may not know that the lady's mother is the princess. The princess left a lot of dowry back then. Now others are thinking of taking the dowry away, so they want to harm your lady. Therefore, if you I can't keep a secret, and people can easily know what your lady has done and said from your mouths, so I don't dare to trust you to serve her by her side."

"Fortunately, you are all very good. You can stick to your principles and not betray your young lady. It's really good... It was Mammy who did something wrong just now. Mammy apologized to you, okay?" Now that Nanny Zhuang has decided to To train the two of them, it is natural that they don't want to let them have a grudge against themselves.

Although the two girls are still young and their minds are not complicated, there is no guarantee that they will not be unhappy in the future.

Only then did Du Juan and Du Ying understand what Nanny Zhuang meant. Afterwards, Du Ying was a little smarter and said hastily: "Madam is doing the right thing, and my sister and I won't be angry if we sail for thousands of years."

"Well, don't be angry." Du Juan hurriedly nodded in agreement with her younger sister, and Nanny Zhuang held their hands and smiled.

"Since you are not angry anymore, let's chat with Nanny." Nanny Zhuang dragged the two of them to sit beside her, chattering about Gu Mingxuan's situation in the Marquis of Shun'an. Yes, and then expressly hinted that Gu Mingxuan needs their help or something, the two sisters' blood boiled - they will definitely protect the young lady loyally, and never let the bad guys take away the young lady's things, and they will not let the bad guys hurt the young lady .

Nanny Zhuang touched the red smiling faces of the two and smiled in relief.

After dinner, Gu Mingxuan came back from the study to practice big characters. She always felt that something was missing. After reading it for a long time, she asked, "Where are those two silly birds?"

Just say why something is missing, usually when she comes back, she will be called: "The stinky girl is back, the stinky girl is back!"

Today, it's very quiet.

She asked, and Lu Rui replied: "The two father-in-laws said that they might have to feed night food recently. They were afraid that they would disturb the young lady's rest, so they took the two parrots to the Kuayuan, saying that they brought them here every day to accompany them. Miss playing, and at night, put them in the courtyard."

After a pause, Gu Mingxuan smiled and said, "Ask the two father-in-laws to bring Dasha and Ersha over here, I'm not afraid of them shouting."

Just kidding, with such an easy-to-use anti-thief guard, how could she let them leave?
"But..." Luzhu also felt that the two father-in-laws who raised parrots were treated well in this way, so she persuaded her. However, Gu Mingxuan insisted that Lurui had no choice but to pass on the message in person.

The two father-in-laws were determined not to go, and Lu Rui had no choice but to leave. After a while, Lu Rui came again. This time, she had a tough attitude and said: "Miss said, since His Royal Highness King Yong gave her these two parrots, That belongs to her, and she can place it wherever she wants, if the two father-in-laws disagree, I can only trouble the two father-in-laws to bring the parrot back to Prince Yong's Mansion first."

The two father-in-laws who were sent to Shun'an Hou's Mansion couldn't help but hesitate when they heard Gu Mingxuan was so determined. After looking at each other, one of them said: "This...but...we are also afraid of disturbing the young lady's rest, so the prince will blame you ..."

"Miss said, she will take care of everything." Lu Rui said seriously with a straight face.

Having reached this point, the two of them could no longer refuse, so they had to return to the main courtyard with the two parrots.

Gu Mingxuan stood at the door, and when she saw the two people coming, she smiled slightly and said: "If the two father-in-laws feel that the place in Shun'an Hou's mansion is too small, I will send the two father-in-laws back to Yongwang's mansion tomorrow. What do you think of your father-in-law?"

After arriving in her territory, she still thought about betraying herself to please the original owner, what a beautiful idea!
If you don't want to stay, get out immediately, no one is begging you to stay.

Gu Mingxuan's words were really a bit impolite. The expressions of the two father-in-laws changed. When they were in Prince Yong's Mansion, although the comparison was not high, but because they were good at serving parrots, others were still very polite to them. , when have you ever been so angry?
but……

Thinking that the lord not only gave this pair of parrots to the eldest lady of Shun'an Hou's Mansion, but even came to the Hou's Mansion in person last night...the two of them lost the courage to fight against Gu Mingxuan, who knows what they are What about the relationship?

It's better not to offend.

Therefore, he hastily apologized and said: "The slaves have made a mistake, please forgive the slave this time."

Gu Mingxuan didn't care too much about herself, she smiled and said: "You are also doing it for my own good, I won't blame you, just take good care of them."

After finishing speaking, Gu Mingxuan did not look at the two of them, but turned to the two parrots and said, "Silly and Xiaosha, you are back."

Cursing came from the mouths of the two parrots immediately, Gu Mingxuan felt relieved, and went back to the house with a smile on her face.

"Beauty, beauty..."

When Gu Mingxuan was going to sleep, the two parrots jumped up and down and shouted again. Gu Mingxuan lay on the bed and couldn't help "giggling" and laughed, saying that they were two stupid birds, but they still didn't admit it, hey .

Gu Mingxuan was in a very good mood, very good, and this mood lasted until the next morning when she woke up. Seeing her like this, Madam Zhuang couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, what did you pick up?" baby?"

Gu Mingxuan blinked and said, "Someone picked up a brick and hit her foot, I think it's a joke."

The person who picked up a brick and hit his own foot stood on the steps wrapped in a black cloak, looked at Cheng An who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and asked, "Why, now you can't even do a job that an idiot can do like spreading a message?" Can't do it well? Then what's the use of raising you, you can bury yourself alive as soon as possible, and you can also use it as fertilizer for weeds."

Cheng An had a bitter face, wanting to cry but no tears.

He has really passed on the word, who knows that those two people are disobedient, he is really wronged... June Feixue is not enough to describe his wronged, okay?

Standing behind Feng Qingli, Cheng Xun took a sympathetic look at Cheng An who was kneeling on the ground. Although they were siblings, but... when disaster came, he didn't mind cutting off his own arm like a gecko trying to survive. .

After Feng Qingli taunted Cheng An, she said "go practice by yourself", and walked away gracefully. Her cold appearance made Cheng An feel the unbearable weight in life.

Cheng Xun gave Cheng An a sympathetic look, and hurriedly followed.

In the early morning, Feng Qingli always went when he wanted to, and ran away when he didn't want to. Anyway, he didn't have any specific errands. In addition, he spent many years in hot springs on the mountain to nourish his body. The emperor felt pity for his son who had suffered a lot, so he loved him very , For his behavior, he has always turned a blind eye to this kind of behavior.

Today Feng Qingli went to the morning court, and after the morning court was over, Feng Qingli stopped Gu Wenqian.

"I've met His Highness King Yong." Gu Wenqian naturally knew what happened in the past few days. His Highness King Yong seemed to be very kind to his eldest daughter. After hearing that he had those two parrots, Xuan'er smiled more Quite a lot, so he was very grateful to Feng Qingli.

Feng Qingli said with a smile: "I saw my little cousin a few days ago, and I wanted to take her to eat delicious food, but she said that her mother and fourth younger sister are sick at home, and she is not in the mood to taste delicious food. Think about it, my lord." That's right, everyone should have filial piety... I don't know if Mrs. Shun'anhou and Miss Si are in good health now, and I want to take my little cousin to the Fifth Brother's Mansion for dinner?"

"Weichen's wife is recovering from illness, whether it's good or bad, as for Weichen's fourth daughter, she's almost fine." Gu Wenqian had already heard what Feng Qingli said to Gu Mingxuan from Cui Shi, so it's not surprising. Just answer respectfully.

As a military general, Gu Wenqian had been on the battlefield before, and it was not too long, but after he inherited the title, he could only guard around the capital. , Gu Wenqian liked it very much.

It's just that as a foreign minister, it's not good to get too close to a prince, so he went on to say: "The eldest daughter of my minister is filial by nature, and I have been worried about her mother's illness recently, and I am afraid that I will disappoint His Royal Highness King Yong's good intentions." .”

The meaning of the refusal was very clear, and the curious people around heard it sincerely. They were relieved to hear that Gu Wenqian refused to contact His Royal Highness Yong again.

Unexpectedly, Feng Qingli said: "Oh? Madam Zun is so seriously ill? Which quack doctor saw it? Hmm... Although Madam Zun's life and death are not my business, I still like my little cousin very much. Yes, she is in a bad mood and the king is not happy either. Forget it, for the sake of my little cousin, I will go and beg my father to send an imperial doctor to treat your wife. Bar."

This is true, can it be more ugly?Although it's not the first time for everyone to experience His Royal Highness King Yong's sharpness and meanness, but——I still feel incapable of accepting it.

All the doctors in the imperial hospital can be called imperial physicians, but those who are called imperial physicians only treat a few people such as the emperor, empress dowager, and ordinary people. It is indeed a great grace, but Gu Wenqian can only smile wryly .

"This..." Was it possible for him not to be clear about whether Mrs. He was ill?Being ill is just a very euphemistic way of saying it, the purpose is to avoid rumors of scandal, if this incident alarms the emperor and really sends an imperial doctor, then the imperial doctor can only tell the truth to the emperor, otherwise, it will be deception Jun.

But those things at home, can they still be mentioned in front of the emperor?
Facing Feng Qingli who was looking at him with a half-smile, Gu Wenqian's forehead was sweating.
