Chapter 154: The Prince Has an Invitation
Mu Jin Xueyan and the others were very happy to see Gu Zhirong coming back. First, my own lady is safe and sound, smooth and smooth, and nothing has happened. On the other hand, they were all about to be tossed to death by the two "gods and Buddhas" in this house.
The second lady is okay, but she said something about the yard being too simple or something, and the fourth lady is much more powerful, as soon as she walks into Liu Yun Courtyard, she picks and chooses, saying how the light in this room is not good, this chair sits on a back pain, and the grape trellis in the backyard is too lush, obstructing the view, anyway, it can't enter her eyes everywhere, as if her yard is the best.
Mu Jin was sullen when he heard it, but he didn't dare to refute.
Gu Zhirong knew that the fourth lady would definitely go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and she never bothered to come in this courtyard of her own. And today to be able to "deign" to put down the posture and come to yourself, needless to say, it is also a request for yourself.
So, she was not in a hurry with them, and entered the house calmly. He instructed Mu Jin and the others: "You two, what are you still doing here? Why don't you quickly take the burden into the back room! Also, why do you let the second sister and the fourth sister stand, please sit down and serve tea!"
After speaking, he entered the hall and sat down on the main seat. Mu Jin saw that her own young lady was really majestic enough, otherwise the fourth young lady wouldn't know whose yard she was in now. She happily replied, "Good!"
The second lady smiled and walked in. The fourth lady was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Gu Xiaowu, who she looked down on on weekdays, would lose her face, and in front of so many people, she glanced at Gu Zhirong's back hatefully and stomped her feet. But he was helpless, gritted his teeth, and walked into the hall.
Mu Jin quickly re-brewed the freshly piping hot tea. They were placed at each lady's table. Gu Zhirong didn't look at them either, his eyes fell on Cai Zhan, picked it up, and used the teacup to flick the green and green leaves suspended on it, and only took a sip when the tea was slightly cold. After that, he raised his head. Patrolled the second and fourth ladies for a week: "Two sisters, what kind of fragrant wind is blowing today, and you both are blowing into my humble little yard at the same time?"
The fourth lady snorted coldly. Didn't speak. The second lady said with a smile: "There is indeed a very urgent matter, if not, we will not wait in your yard early in the morning to wait for you to come back." ”
Gu Zhirong frowned slightly. She had guessed that something big was going on. But what the specific big thing is, it is not known. But what was the big carriage parked outside that was not easily used in the city for what purpose? Its appearance only proved that something had happened, and it was a particularly important thing.
"Oh, the two sisters have been waiting for me for a long time, right?" Gu Zhirong said, "I'm really sorry, I was supposed to come back early in the morning, but I just happened to encounter some things, so I delayed until now." I came back to the house and made the two sisters wait for a long time. ”
The fourth lady snorted and said, "Gu Xiaowu." I don't understand, what's so good about Hangji Temple, it's worth going to that place several times a month?"
Gu Zhirong smiled calmly: "The heart of the Buddha is important in piety. Didn't the old lady say it? She wants us to be sincere to the Buddha and ensure the safety of our house, and not to do things perfunctorily and anger the gods, have these four sisters forgotten? Didn't the eldest aunt go to the temple twice in a row not long ago? The old lady still exaggerated that the aunt was sensible. ”
The fourth young lady snorted coldly. The eldest lady is quite good at catering to the old lady on weekdays, but the recent incident of the eldest lady running into the temple is not specifically to please the old lady, it is just to comfort her own uneasy conscience.
The second lady felt a little embarrassed, after all, the eldest lady was her mother, and what happened to her mother, she knew a little bit about her daughter. So, she coughed and said, "Don't talk about those who have and don't, let's get down to business." ”
She turned to look at Gu Zhirong: "Here's the thing, yesterday afternoon, the Yuanning Marquis Mansion received a post from the crown prince, saying that it was an invitation to the sisters of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion to go to the Royal Racecourse to race horses. The guard who delivered the post also conveyed the meaning of the prince, asking all the sisters of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion to arrive. The old lady was very nervous about this matter, and immediately summoned the people in the two rooms to discuss, everyone felt that the prince had such a request, if the fifth sister did not arrive, the prince would ask at that time, and it would be difficult to explain. So the old lady replied to the prince and changed the schedule to the afternoon. Your fourth sister and I have not heard from you for a long time, and we are anxious, so we simply come to your yard and wait for you. ”
Gu Zhirong nodded: "Oh, so that's the case, no wonder there is a luxury carriage parked outside that is not easy to use on weekdays." However, "
She paused and looked at the second and fourth young ladies with a smile: "Two sisters, it's better for me not to go to this matter." I don't want to see the prince, I'm afraid that if we meet, we will quarrel. And I remember that the old lady made a special trip to invite the aunt from the palace to come and point out that she would focus on teaching the two sisters. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Zhirong took a special look at the two young ladies. The second miss frowned slightly, looking a little restrained and uneasy, while the fourth miss raised her head high, looking determined to win.
"So......" Gu Zhirong changed his words and said in a deliberately accentuated tone, "So this matter doesn't seem to be my business, right?" I'm really sorry to let the two sisters run away in vain. ”
She yawned: "Two sisters, I just came back from outside, I am very sleepy, and I want to make up for sleep, I see what kind of Jockey Club is this, you can play with the prince." ”
Isn't he very busy, isn't he the future prince going to take care of everything, isn't he going to clear the way for the general to ascend to the throne? How can he have so much time to play with these girls in the boudoir? This doesn't seem to fit his resolute character......
As soon as her words fell, the fourth lady immediately jumped up: "No, you can't go, if you don't go, what will the prince think of us!"
Gu Zhirong looked at the fourth lady suspiciously: "Fourth sister, it's really strange that you said this, I won't go, isn't it exactly what you want......?"
She leaned slightly in the direction where the fourth lady was sitting: "Does the fourth sister really want the prince to see me?"
Gu Zhirong had a feeling that when the prince told her that day that he had ambitions for her, she believed that there must be the eyeliner of the fourth lady around. Moreover, it is very likely that the fourth lady would have known about this matter for a long time.
However, in Gu Zhirong's opinion, this is just the prince teasing himself, but if someone with a heart like Miss Fourth listens to it, the meaning is very different. Moreover, Gu Zhirong also likes to make full use of this misunderstanding with Miss Four.
Sure enough, as Gu Zhirong expected, the fourth young lady immediately changed her face when she heard it. (To be continued......)
