Dirty color

Chapter 83

The fifth concubine liked Gu Mingxuan, and she had a good relationship with Feng Qingli, so she gave Gu Mingxuan extra face. When Gu Mingxuan returned to the mansion, the fifth concubine even prepared a gift for Cui.

When Cui saw this, although she appeared very reserved on the surface, she was actually very happy in her heart, and she admired Gu Mingxuan's communication skills even more in her heart.

Therefore, she was even more kind to Gu Mingxuan, hugged Gu Mingxuan and screamed heartily, Gu Mingxuan felt a little chilly, but seeing the gloomy look in Gu Minghe's eyes, Gu Mingxuan felt that it was totally worth it.

Gu Minghe is the best at disguising, but in her previous life, she went smoothly, almost never like this life, when encountering such embarrassing and embarrassing things, she can always maintain her perfect disguise, but in this life, Gu Minghe is still young, and her skills are still good. Not enough, but I met Gu Mingxuan who also learned to pretend in her previous life, and was forced to bear the blame that was almost fatal to Gu Minghe.

Gu Minghe had a little difficulty maintaining his original composure.

Gu Mingxuan smiled, stopped looking at Gu Minghe, but responded to Cui Shi's words, and when she was about to leave, Cui Jiao came in outside, and said to Cui Shi: "Old Madam, Madam He sent Mother He over , saying that there is something to report."

Cui frowned, not knowing what He's going to do, but thinking that He seemed to have restrained a lot recently, Cui couldn't be too condescending, so he said: "Please come in."

Mother He came in with a brocade box in her hand, kowtowed to Mrs. Cui and the others, and then said to Mrs. Cui: "Madam thinks that the young lady is going to marry the Yang family. It will be inconvenient for Madam to Come out, so as not to spoil the fun, so I prepared a congratulatory gift in advance and asked the old slave to give it to the eldest lady."

Cui Shi was a little surprised, this He Shi is really enlightened?

Since Mrs. He did it beautifully, Mrs. Cui no longer kept a straight face, but just nodded and said, "It's hard for her to have a heart."

As for what Mrs. He sent, Mrs. Cui didn't care. Anyway, as long as she didn't look ugly, she couldn't force Mrs. He and Gu Mingxuan to get along like mother and daughter.

It's okay to explain the past with face.

Seeing Cui Shi like this, Mother He hurriedly handed the brocade box to Gu Mingxuan. Gu Mingxuan had already stood up. Luzhu glanced at Gu Mingxuan, saw Gu Mingxuan nodded, and took it from Mother He. Gu Mingxuan said with a smile: "It's my mother's birthday in a few days. I was supposed to honor my mother as a daughter, but I asked my mother to pay for me... It's just that the elders can't refuse the gift, so I have the audacity to accept it. Please, Madam He Go back and pay my respects to my mother on my behalf, and wish her a speedy recovery."

Seeing that Gu Mingxuan responded gracefully, Cui nodded and waved them away.

After Gu Mingxuan went back, she glanced at the house deed placed in the brocade box, took out the paper and shook it, couldn't help laughing, and said to Nanny Zhuang: "Mr. He is bleeding a lot this time."

It was the deed of a shop in a prosperous area of ​​the capital, and the name on it had been changed to that of Gu Mingxuan.

Nanny Zhuang took a look and said, "When Mrs. He entered the mansion, everything was bought and calculated, and it was only three or four hundred taels. Come out and regain control of Zhongfu, and she will be able to build another shop like this in a short time."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Zhuang Nanny's words, Gu Mingxuan smiled, and comforted Zhuang Nanny, "This relationship is good, as much as she makes, it will all be in our hands in the end, and it will save us energy."

Passing the box to Du Juan, Gu Mingxuan said again: "This is called losing money and it cannot eliminate disasters."

Grandma Zhuang was amused by Gu Mingxuan, stroked Gu Mingxuan's hair, and changed the subject.

Gu Mingxuan put the deed into the box, blinked, and said something to Nanny Zhuang, Nanny Zhuang couldn't help laughing, and said indulgently, "Sure, as long as you're happy."

Woke up the next day, the news that Mrs. He gave Gu Mingxuan an excellent shop yesterday spread throughout the Marquis of Shun'an. Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but sneer, Mrs. He really made a good move, but she helped her After she made a publicity statement, in the eyes of others, they would feel that He was just adding to the liking. He could have achieved a very good effect, but in the end he could only get five or six points.

When Gu Mingxuan thought this way, Cui Shi and Gu Minghe also thought the same way, Cui Shi said to Madam Cui: "I thought she finally got the hang of it, but who knows that the mud still won't be able to support the wall."

After Gu Minghe couldn't help breathing, he scolded Mrs. He severely in his heart. In the end, he really had no choice but to forget it-it was better than before.

As for Gu Wenqian, he already knew about this matter yesterday, and today when he found out that this matter was spread all over the Marquis of Shun'an's mansion, he heard the servants praise He's "kindheartedness", "love the eldest lady very much", "compared with relatives". Gu Wenqian couldn't help laughing angrily at the words of my daughter.

He Shi is really...

Resisting the disgust in his heart, Gu Wenqian was still somewhat satisfied with kissing his teacher. No matter what, if possible, he didn't want the news of the disharmony in the Marquis of Shun'an to spread outside and make others laugh.

As long as He can barely maintain the superficial harmony like this time, he doesn't bother to care about it.

It was completely unexpected that Gu Mingxuan made people publicize this matter.

Gu Wenqian returned home early today, so he also went to pay his respects to Mrs. Cui, and then left with Gu Mingxuan.

"In a few days, father will let your mother come out to show her face." Gu Wenqian carefully chose his words, fearing that his decision would hurt Gu Mingxuan's heart, he said. "Although she did go too far, it must be a big scene for us to recognize the Yang family as relatives. Although there are not many people who came to watch the ceremony, they are all distinguished guests. If it is rumored that you forced your stepmother to pretend The news of illness avoidance, after all, is not good for you..."

"Daughter understands what father means." Seeing Gu Wenqian's careful explanation, Gu Mingxuan interrupted him hastily, and said, "Of course, father did this for his daughter, and daughter is not a child who doesn't know anything. If you don't understand your father's intentions, you can just do it at ease."

Gu Wenqian looked at Gu Mingxuan's bright smiling face, and at the same time was taken aback, pity welled up in his heart. If He'er had encountered this matter, he would definitely laugh and say that everything was decided by his father, and he might not have other thoughts in his heart; , there will be a lot of quarrels, and people will not be at peace, only Xuan'er will speak out and talk to him.

Gu Wenqian couldn't help but caressed the top of Gu Mingxuan's head.

After watching Gu Wenqian leave, a cold light flashed in Gu Mingxuan's eyes. She knew and understood her father's good intentions, but she couldn't be so cheap.

Let He think that her father will not let her out, and then do some small tricks. With his father being so powerful, he will naturally find out who is behind some farce.

Squinting her eyes, Gu Mingxuan felt that she should be meeting Aunt Cui, so she couldn't keep letting others spread the word.

In particular, she also wanted to chat with Aunt Cui about offspring.

Gu Mingxuan is a person who does what she thinks, of course, this doesn't mean she will be reckless.

Secretly, she asked Aunt Cui to meet her in the garden and let Aunt Cui wet her clothes. The two of them went to change their clothes together. After changing their clothes, they started talking in the gazebo next to the Jade Hairpin Garden.

Gu Mingxuan glanced at Aunt Cui, and said that the He family might make trouble. After hearing this, Aunt Cui hurriedly asked, "Then how should I prevent it?"

Although she has Cui's backing, she is a concubine after all. Although her food and clothing are not bad, she has never enjoyed the feeling of being the master of the family like she is now, and once she tastes this feeling, no one wants to let go.

Aunt Cui is no exception.

Gu Mingxuan took a sip of the fragrant tea, looked at Aunt Cui with a smile, and said lightly, "Prevention? Why should we take precautions?"

Aunt Cui was taken aback, since she knew that Mrs. He was going to make trouble, why didn't she take precautions before it happened?
But seeing Gu Mingxuan's calm and contented face, not caring at all, Aunt Cui settled down, waiting to hear what Gu Mingxuan had to say.

Gu Mingxuan glanced at Aunt Cui. After all, Mrs. He is her legitimate stepmother. There are some things that I can't do. If I do, my father will find out in the future. Although my father won't blame her, he will definitely be a little disappointed, and Gu Mingxuan , I don't want my father to be disappointed in me.

She wants to be a daughter that makes her father proud.

So it is very necessary for Aunt Cui to stand at the front desk.

Squinting her eyes, Gu Mingxuan looked at Aunt Cui and explained Gu Wenqian's intentions. Hearing that Gu Wenqian planned to release Mrs. He every few days, Aunt Cui's heart was filled with great disappointment, and she stood there in a daze. But not a word.

She really didn't want to hand over the power she held in her hands.

However, Aunt Cui is not a fool after all. After a while, she finally remembered that among those who did not want Mrs. He to come out, she was the most urgent one, but the eldest lady naturally felt the same as her, but she did not. She came so seriously.

Since the eldest lady is not in a hurry, why should she be in a hurry.

The eldest lady must have a way - Aunt Cui now has some blind trust in Gu Mingxuan.

It didn't take long to see Aunt Cui calm down. No matter whether she was really calm or pretending to be calm, Gu Mingxuan felt that Aunt Cui could still be taught. If Aunt Cui was a rotten tree, she would be in trouble.

"My aunt, try this tea. Cousin Qingli gave me this big red robe. It is said that it is the best tribute tea. Even in the palace, not every noble lady has it." Gu Mingxuan stretched out her hand and pointed teacup, said.

Aunt Cui picked up the teacup as she said, and after drinking it patiently, she praised her a few words.

Gu Mingxuan smiled slightly, and finally put down the teacup, and looked at Aunt Cui with a smile in her eyes. Aunt Cui knew that Gu Mingxuan was about to talk about business, so she quickly withheld her smile and sat upright.

Gu Mingxuan couldn't help smiling, and said to Aunt Cui: "You don't have to be so nervous, I don't eat people."

Aunt Cui sneered, she was seven or eight years older than Gu Mingxuan in vain, she felt that she was not as calm as Gu Mingxuan.

Gu Mingxuan saw that Aunt Cui was not so nervous, so she said: "Father is thinking about my reputation, and he will definitely let Mrs. He out. Besides, he just doesn't think about me. For the sake of Gu Minghe and Gu Mingrong, father will naturally It's also impossible to lock up the He family for too long, when Gu Minghe promises to marry, the He family can naturally come out..."

"It's just that after this incident, the He family came out. It is impossible to gain the complete trust of my father in a short period of time and regain control of the Zhongfu of the Shun'an Hou Mansion, so Auntie doesn't have to worry about it for the time being."

After comforting Aunt Cui for a few words, seeing that Aunt Cui was not so worried, Gu Mingxuan continued: "Father didn't trust her because Mrs. He made a mistake. Mrs. He wanted to regain his father's trust this time , so determined to give me a shop, but it's a pity that Mrs. He is too eager for quick success, so that the whole Shun'an Hou Mansion who spread the news has heard about it. I'm afraid that others won't know how good her stepmother is to me. In fact, it was self-defeating, so He Shi is actually not a person with outstanding scheming, as long as He's weakness is grasped, it is easy to make her dizzy and do foolish things."

Gu Mingxuan's sharp analysis made Aunt Cui feel enlightened, she suddenly came to her senses, and said, "Miss means that Madam is eager to come out now, in order to be able to get back in the palm of her hand, she even does not hesitate to make trouble, so that Lord Hou feels that the second Madam and I are useless, since that's the case, why don't we make the matter a little bigger, so that Master Hou can understand Madam's shallow side better?"

While talking, Aunt Cui looked at Gu Mingxuan, and when she saw her nodding, Aunt Cui became a little excited, and she continued: "Master Hou will naturally be even more disappointed with her when she sees Madam's ignorance, and of course it is even more impossible Let her regain control of the feeder, right?"

Gu Mingxuan nodded, she smiled, and praised Aunt Cui: "Aunt Cui is really smart, as long as the matter is controlled within a certain range, the more Mr. He jumps up and down, the more he will disappoint father; Auntie also needs to do something before..."

"What's the matter?" Aunt Cui knew that Gu Mingxuan was going to give her an idea, so she hastily pricked up her ears.

"Auntie needs to let Madam understand one thing, that is—father is a little disappointed in her, and wants to transfer more power from grandmother to Second Aunt and Auntie, or it can be like this— Seeing that my aunt is working hard, my father likes her even more... In short, let the madam feel that his status has been challenged, so that the madam will be more active."

Aunt Cui's eyes were bright, and she kept nodding. In fact, this kind of strategy is very simple, and she can use it every day. Knowing it's a trick, but still jumping into it unconsciously, the eldest lady is really good at grasping people's hearts.

"While Aunt Cui is concerned about these things, she should also think about her own body. I am looking forward to Aunt Cui giving me a younger brother and sister." When Aunt Cui was about to leave, Gu Mingxuan said lightly, Aunt Cui Listen, almost stumbled and fell.

What is Missy implying?Aunt Cui was a little dizzy. Although she was carried in by the old lady to become a noble concubine, Lord Hou was often away, and when she came back occasionally, she would be cleverly dragged into the wife's room by the third lady. The chance for her to serve the bed was actually not Not many, no, it should be said to be very few. Therefore, although I have been in the door for several years, I have never had any news.

It's not that Aunt Cui is not bitter, but Master Hou is very restrained when it comes to female sex, even if she is anxious, it is useless.

At this moment, hearing Gu Mingxuan's words, Aunt Cui's heart suddenly beat faster and faster.

Zhichun, who was by Aunt Cui's side, also felt hot in her heart. Nianxia was the personal maid given to Aunt Cui by the old lady, and there was an old lady at home, but Aunt Cui couldn't favor her. After all, she still had a place to go, but she herself It was brought by Auntie from home, in this life it depends on Aunt Cui, if Aunt Cui has a son and a half...

"Auntie, the young lady and the madam are not at odds, and the fifth young master is the wife's own son. When the Marquis goes away in the future, if the fifth young master inherits the title, the young lady will lose her trust. Look, is that what the young lady means? "I have experienced many things in the Hou's mansion, and Zhichun has become much smarter. After thinking about Gu Mingxuan's words, Zhichun couldn't help but say this to Aunt Cui.

Aunt Cui glanced at Zhichun, and said in a low voice, "Speak carefully, be careful that the walls have ears."

In fact, Aunt Cui herself also thought of this level, and she also felt the same way in her heart, but would the eldest lady help her child fight for the right to inherit the title?

Impossible... Aunt Cui doesn't believe that Gu Mingxuan would do this, but even if she can't win the title, if she can make her son more promising and get an official position, she will have something to rely on for the rest of her life. Anyway, His Royal Highness King Yong It's not impossible for Miss Eldest to help her children in the future.

The more Aunt Cui thought about it, the hotter her heart became. She took a look at Zhichun, and both of them suppressed their excitement and went back to the Jade Hairpin Garden.

After sending away Aunt Cui, who had already figured out how to do things, Gu Mingxuan, who was in a good mood, found out the birthday gift that Nanny Zhuang had prepared for her for He Shi after returning to Tsinghua Garden. Stimulate He Shi, so that after being stimulated by Aunt Cui, He Shi will react more intensely.

Well, it is also necessary to prevent Gu Minghe from exchanging news with He's. He's more resistant to provocation, but Gu Minghe is not. If Gu Minghe suppresses He's impulse, it will not be beautiful. After Gu Mingxuan thought of this concern, she felt that others It is not suitable to follow, the only suitable one is Xiaofeng Xiaoxue.

Thinking of Xiaofeng Xiaoxue, Feng Qingli's face appeared in front of Gu Mingxuan, and she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Gu Mingxuan could only chuckle at Feng Qingli's thick skin.

But, forget it, at that time I made an agreement with Xiaofeng Xiaoxue to take them when I went out, and it was not very good to use them for the affairs of the mansion, although their master already knew all about Shun'anhou's mansion. Dirty things.

It's better to work hard for the cuckoo and the warbler for a few days.

Mrs. He is in a good mood these two days. Although he gave away a very profitable shop, it made Mrs. He feel pain like dripping blood, but thinking of the effect of this matter, Mrs. He is in a very bad mood——Cui That old godly woman sent someone to deliver the tonic yesterday. Although she didn't need it, it meant that the old godly woman was very satisfied with what she did.

With the approval of the old godly woman, Hou Ye must have been persuaded by that old godly woman Cui very quickly. Hmph, Hou Ye is a very filial son.

At that time... He's eyes revealed a venomous light. This time, she will find that man, and on the condition of the entire dowry of Princess Huaqing, if he goes all out to kill that little bitch Gu Mingxuan, she is no longer Thinking about keeping that little bastard Gu Mingxuan tormented slowly, she wanted her to die, immediately.

"Ma'am, the eldest lady is here." Qiu Yun walked over quickly and said to He Shi who was admiring the flowers.

He's complexion changed slightly, and he really wanted people to kick Gu Mingxuan out, but thinking that she had already given away that good shop, she couldn't do half of the show and lose everything, so He calmed down and said: " Tell Missy to wait, I'll go later."

In the side hall, Gu Mingxuan waited until He Shi had changed his clothes.

"Mother." Seeing He's coming out, Gu Mingxuan immediately showed joy, and said with a smile: "It seems that mother's health is much better, which is really great."

You wish I would never be okay.He snorted coldly in his heart, tried his best to put on a friendly smile, and said, "Now that the weather is getting warmer, and with the tonic given by your grandmother, it will be much better."

In the words, it hinted to Gu Mingxuan that Cui Shi is also on her side now.

Gu Mingxuan looked at Mrs. He with a smile, and seemed to be joking. She said: "This time, let the grandmother take the lead. Next time, the daughter will definitely take the lead. Don't give it to the mother."

He's face froze, the little bitch is the little bitch, and he dared to curse her to be placed under house arrest again, He bit his teeth, and couldn't help but said: "If there are any good medicinal materials, you should keep them for yourself."

It would be best if you get sick and die.

Gu Mingxuan seemed not to understand He's words, she said: "It is only natural for a daughter to honor her mother, so mother should not refuse."

I can't stand your filial piety!He's complexion turned dark, and she decided not to get entangled with Gu Mingxuan on this topic. She asked, "What's the matter with you here?"

It's okay, just get out of here.

"Although the father said that the mother still needs to rest, but the mother gave the daughter a shop as a congratulatory gift, of course the daughter can come to thank the mother." Gu Mingxuan said calmly, only smiling, and when He heard this, her expression couldn't help but change. changed!

What's the meaning?What does it mean that the mother still needs to rest?Does it mean that Gu Wenqian has no plans to let himself out recently?

But obviously yesterday when that old lady of the Cui family brought over the tonic, she still said to herself, "You are always the mistress of the Marquis of Shun'an Mansion, and there is a limit to being lazy...", the implication is, It should look like he will be unconfined soon, and after yesterday, the maids and women in Baihetang are not so strict when they come in and out...

Is that old godly woman lying to herself?He thought so.
