Chapter 235: Always waiting

Gu Huayu took a step forward and walked to Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin took Gu Huayu's hand, turned to Mrs. Ping and said, "This girl has really inherited all the advantages of her parents."

Mrs. Ping smiled and nodded, "She really looks like her father."

Mrs. Qin turned around and took an exquisite sandalwood box from Mrs. Qian's hand and stuffed it into Gu Huayu's hand, "Girl, this is the Eastern Pearl rewarded by the Emperor. I don't need it, so you can keep it for fun."

Gu Huayu glanced at Mrs. Ping. When Mrs. Ping saw her looking over, she said, "The elder gave it to me. You must accept it. Thank you, Mrs."

 Gu Huayu bowed deeply, "Thank you, madam!"

Mrs. Qin took Gu Huayu to sit between her and Mrs. Ping, and whispered: "Girl, you're welcome, I should thank you for the elixir. You let me sleep well for several years."

Gu Huayu looked at Mrs. Qin, who winked at her.

Gu Huayu smiled knowingly.

As Mrs. Ping introduced Mrs. Qin, Wang Peiyun's face instantly sank, shock and anger rising from the bottom of his heart at the same time.

These days, she has always regarded the woman with whom she had a quarrel in Huayu Pavilion as Gu Huayu. She did not expect that the person she hated so much was not the real owner. Wang Peiyun felt that she had been fooled.

The interaction between Mrs. Qin and Gu Huayu fell into Wang Peiyun's eyes.

Wang Peiyun clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms without realizing it. That day, when she went to Duke Chengguo's Mansion, she and Lu Ziqin were still engaged in a marriage contract, but Mrs. Qin treated her very politely, but Mrs. Qin treated Hua Yanran today, but it was a different scene.

Wang Peiyun felt that Mrs. Qin's love for Gu Huayu was a mockery of her.

Jealousy and hatred grew wildly in Wang Peiyun's heart like weeds in the fertile soil. She hated Mrs. Qin for treating her differently, and she even hated Gu Huayu for having such a charming face.

Mrs. Cui noticed something strange about Wang Peiyun, raised her hand and gently pulled her sleeves, and reminded her in a low voice: "Sister Yun."

Wang Peiyun came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Mrs. Cui, leaned forward and said, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Ms. Cui said: "Shi's tea is good, drink tea."

Wang Peiyun understood what her mother meant, nodded and said, "Thank you, mother, my daughter will save it."

Not far from Cui, Mrs. Liu, the wife of Zheng Shilang of the Ministry of Justice, sat together with her daughter Zheng Peilin. Zheng was the wife of Li Size, the young minister of Dali Temple.

Just as Wang Peiyun took a sip of tea, she heard Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng say: "Princess Yanran is really extraordinary, like a fairy. Brother Tao and Princess are really good friends?"

Mrs. Zheng replied in a low voice: "It should be. I asked the boy next to Brother Tao, and the boy told me that we have been friends for several years."

Mrs. Liu said: "I heard that the princess grew up in Shicheng before. We all came from Jiangnan East Road and are considered fellow villagers. You can talk to Wan in a moment. Someday, we can also come to visit or handle matters. It’s a banquet, and the princess and her family are invited to come and sit down.”

Mrs. Zheng nodded and said, "Mother is right. I will go talk to Mr. Wan later. It will be easier to make arrangements later."

When Wang Peiyun heard this, he snorted coldly and had some thoughts in his heart.

After Gu Huayu spoke a few words with Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Ping introduced Gu Huayu to Mrs. Yuan from Jiangxiang's Mansion, and Mrs. Lan from Liao Shangshu's Mansion, and then introduced the ladies from each mansion to Gu Huayu one by one.

In this way, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the banquet in the Shi Mansion was held for Gu Huayu. In addition, Mrs. Qin was partial to Gu Huayu. Those who followed the trend began to flatter her, and for a while, there was endless praise. .

The more Wang Peiyun listened, the more harsh and disgusting she became. She felt her ears buzzing, and the waves of disgust in her heart became higher and higher, making her whole body shiver.

Just as Mrs. Ping came to her with Gu Huayu, Wang Peiyun stared at Gu Huayu, and the more he looked at her, the deeper the hatred in his heart became.

When Mrs. Cui saw Gu Huayu coming, she subconsciously turned to look at Wang Peiyun, but saw that her face was pale, and she hurriedly asked: "Yun'er, your face looks ugly, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Ping was shocked when she saw Wang Peiyun's expression was not good, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Miss Third? Why is her face so white? Her eyes are still dazed. Are you feeling unwell?"

Mrs. Cui stretched out her hand to support Wang Peiyun and called out softly: "Sister Yun, don't scare your mother. What's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Ping wanted to step forward to care, but Gu Huayu reached out and grabbed Mrs. Ping, pulling her to the side for two steps.

While the two of them were avoiding it, Wang Peiyun opened his mouth and spat out, and the filth was spread forward in a parabola, landing just not far away from Gu Huayu and Mrs. Ping.

In an instant, the hall was filled with a sour smell, and people nearby covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs.

Mrs. Ping looked at the filthy things on the ground with disgust, and ordered the maid who came to clean up the machine: "Hurry up, clean up quickly. Aunt Zhang, hurry up and send the doctor over to show Miss Wang. Sakura, Pour tea for Miss Wang San."

 For a time, the hall was so busy that everyone was on their backs.

After Mrs. Ping gave her instructions, she turned to Mrs. Cui and said, "Mingxiang, what's wrong with the third girl? Is it because of the hot weather?"

Mrs. Cui ignored Mrs. Hui Ping's words, stared at her daughter with her eyes, and asked: "Yun'er, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

After Wang Peiyun vomited it out, the disgust in his heart faded a lot. He took the water glass handed over by Sakura and drank some tea and rinsed his mouth.

Turning to look at Mrs. Cui, she comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Mom, my daughter just has some heat stroke, and she is also unhappy when she sees something she hates, so she just feels uncomfortable for a while."

Ms. Cui breathed a sigh of relief, touched her daughter's cold hand and asked, "Just be fine. Are your hands and feet strong? Can you walk?"

Wang Peiyun wanted to get up, but felt that his hands and feet were weak, so he said, "I have to rest for a while."

Mrs. Cui saw that Wang Peiyun was conscious and her anxious heart had settled down. She turned to look at Mrs. Ping, bowed apologetically and said, "Yingzi, I'm sorry."

Mrs. Ping said: "Mingxiang, what are you talking about? It's me who should say I'm sorry. It's our fault that we didn't take good care of her. It was such a hot day that the third lady got a heat stroke."

Ms. Cui said: "Okay, don't be polite. Our friendship has lasted for decades, so polite words seem to be out of touch."

 After saying that, Mrs. Cui turned to look at everyone, bowed and said, "I'm sorry, my three girls have suffered from heatstroke today, which ruined everyone's fun."

 Everyone was busy saying that nothing happened.

Ms. Cui stopped talking to everyone and lowered her head and asked Wang Peiyun, "Can you leave?"

Wang Peiyun squeezed his hand, regained some strength in his hand, nodded and said: "That's it."

Ms. Cui turned around and said to Aunt Guan and Qingfang who came in after hearing the news: "Help Sister Yun, let's go back."

Mammy Guan and Jingfang came to help Wang Peiyun, and the Cui family said goodbye to the Ping family.

Mrs. Ping said that she did not greet the guests well, and ordered Yang Jing to greet the guests while she went to see Cui and her daughter off.

Wang Peiyun was helped up by the nun, walked to Gu Huayu, stopped, and said to her with a smile in her eyes: "Hello, princess, I was so embarrassed just now that I almost vomited on the princess."

Gu Huayu said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter."

Wang Peiyun nodded slightly, suddenly leaned towards Gu Huayu, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Next time, I will try to spit out more accurately."

 After speaking, Wang Peiyun stood up straight, distanced himself from Gu Huayu, and looked at Gu Huayu provocatively.

Gu Huayu nodded with a half-smile, "I understand, and I'm waiting for you at any time. However, if you want to be accurate, you have to practice more."

Wang Peiyun narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Thank you, Princess. I'll see you next time."

Gu Huayu nodded slightly, "Okay, see you next time."

Seeing Gu Hua's calm tone, Wang Peiyun began to feel agitated again. She approached Gu Huayu again and whispered, "Let's see!"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say, walk slowly, I won't send you away!"

Wang Peiyun smiled and nodded, and was supported by Granny Guan and Jingfang to leave.

After Cui took Wang Peiyun to leave, Cui Shangshu’s wife Ming also took Cui Xinyi to leave.

After the people who were about to leave left, Princess Jinglian said, "The smell here is bad. Let's go sit in the side hall."

 The side hall is slightly smaller than the main hall, and the furnishings in the hall are almost the same as those in the main hall.

Princess Jinglian and Yang Jing led everyone to the side hall, and Mrs. Qian walked to Gu Huayu without leaving a trace. "Princess Princess."

Gu Huayu turned to see Mrs. Qian and said, "Madam is an elder, just call me by my name."

Mrs. Qian nodded with a smile and said softly: "Yanran, Ziqin has accompanied his mother back to the British government."

Gu Huayu was stunned, no wonder he didn't see Mrs. Ye today, then nodded and said: "Thank you, Madam, I understand."

Ye Mingjin stepped forward and took Mrs. Qian's hand, smiled and joked: "Are you sending a message to Brother Ziqin?"

Mrs. Qian looked around, patted Ye Mingjin's hand, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Can't you keep your voice down? You are always so careless, what are you talking about?"

Ye Mingjin stuck out his tongue, tilted his head to look at Gu Huayu, and asked in a low voice: "Princess, what did Miss Wang San say to you just now? She didn't say anything unpleasant, right? I'm telling you, Wang Peiyun thinks he's used to it, so you don't need to pay attention to it. she."

Gu Huayu didn't expect that Ye Mingjin would actually see that Wang Peiyun was targeting her, "Thank you Mingjin, don't worry, she can't do anything to me."

Ye Mingjin let go of Mrs. Qian's hand and walked forward side by side with Gu Huayu, "Princess, let me tell you, she is very unpleasant, and I hate being with her anyway.

 You don’t know how desperate I was when I heard that she was planning to get married to Brother Ziqin. Fortunately, they are not compatible, otherwise, I would be depressed to death. "

Ye Mingjin has no ambitions, and will reveal his preferences without reservation in front of the people he likes.

Mrs. Qian patted Ye Mingjin again and said, "You girl, shut up. Are you allowed to say such nonsense?"

Ye Mingjin realized that he had made a mistake again, and said apologetically: "Mom, I'm sorry, I forgot about it when I was happy."

Mrs. Qian shook her head helplessly, turned to look at Gu Huayu, and said, "Princess, I'm sorry, this girl is spoiled and her words are not measured."

Gu Huayu said with a smile: "Madam, you don't have to mind. Ming Jin is straightforward and has a good temper."

Ye Mingjin was in a good mood with Gu Huayu's help in speaking, and proudly said to Mrs. Qian: "Auntie, the princess has a very good vision, and I have a really good temper."

Mrs. Cui: “…”

"Princess, Mrs. Qian, sit over here." Yang Jing turned around and greeted Gu Huayu and Mrs. Qian.

Gu Huayu returned to Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Ping. The side hall was bustling again, as if the previous episode had never happened.

The banquet in Shi Mansion lasted until the end of the day, and people began to leave one after another. The people in Wutong Lane were the last to leave.

The British Duke heard the report from his servants and learned that Lu Ziqin had stayed in Shuyingyuan. He still felt uneasy and said to Du Bin: "Go to all the gates in the east, west, north and south and tell me that Ziqin needs to report to you when he comes in and out. here."

Du Bin bowed and said, "Okay, little one, let's go right away."

The British Duke said: "Go, let someone prepare the horse, and I will go to the palace. You don't need to follow me. Please do what I told you before."

Du Bin hesitated for a moment and then boldly asked: "My lord, do you still need to be grounded?"

The British were silent for a moment and said: "Evacuate the people and let them come and go freely. The monthly fee will be reduced to five taels of silver."

Du Bin bowed and said, "Yes, I understand. I will ask someone to change the clothes for the Duke."

The British Duke nodded and said: "Go."

The British Duke went to Prince Xian's Mansion, and Lu Zijian greeted him at the door. After the carriage stopped, Lu Zijian stepped forward to help the British Duke get out of the car.

 The British Duke asked: "Is the prince in the palace?"

Lu Zijian said: "Grandpa, you are here. Your Majesty, Mr. Qin, and Staff Chen are discussing matters in the study. Your Majesty ordered me to receive my grandfather and take him directly to the study."

Mr. Qin Qin Xuyao ​​is the long history of Prince Xian’s Mansion.

 Chen Yunhao, a staff member of Chen, was the Jieyuan of Songjiang Prefecture in the 17th year of Changping. He was a good writer.

 I wanted to take the imperial examination route to serve the imperial court, but I was unlucky. First, I encountered heavy snow on the road while rushing to take the exam, which delayed my trip. By the time I arrived in the capital, the imperial examination had ended.

In the 19th year of Changping, Chen Yunhao's father passed away. Because of Ding You, he missed the scientific examination again.

Last year, Prince Xian’s Mansion was looking for staff, and he went to the Prince’s Mansion to recommend himself. Prince Xian saw his article and kept it.

The British Duke nodded and followed Lu Zijian along the corridor to the study.

The wise king received a message from his chamberlain that he was coming to welcome him. He stood up and went to the door to welcome him.

After greeting each other, everyone returned to the study and took their seats in order of honor.

 Laixi came in and served tea. The wise king looked at the British Duke and said, "My lord, please sit down first. I have some things to explain to Chen's staff and Qin Changshi."

 The British Duke asked: "Do you need me to avoid you?"

The wise king said: "That's unnecessary, and it's not a secret."

The British Duke nodded and said, "The prince is busy, so I'll sit here and drink tea."

The Xian Wang nodded, looked at Qin Xuyao ​​and Chen Yunhao and said, "Let's continue, Mr. Qin, please continue."

Qin Xuyao ​​leaned forward and said, "Look, I have the most thoughtful thoughts. If the prince marries the third lady of the Prime Minister Wang's Mansion, he will not only get help from the Prime Minister Wang's Mansion, but also from Cui Shangshu, plus the Duke's Mansion and the Prince. After all these years of hard work, Wang Ye has the best chance of winning."

 Wang Xian looked at Staff Chen and asked, "Yunhao, what do you think?"

Mr. Chen leaned forward and said, "I also agree with Mr. Qin's statement.

The king is not only the head of the three prime ministers but also has many disciples. In addition, the Wang family has a strict family education and a good family tradition.

The children of the Wang family, among the children of the family of Beijing, are all outstanding. Whether they marry the door or marry, they are good marriage.

If the prince marries Miss Wang San, the resources of the Wang family will naturally belong to the prince. In this regard, the prince is better than the prince of Jin. "
