Chapter 13: It is still the heart of victory and defeat in the world

The next day, Gu Qingning woke up and didn't feel tears wet the pillow. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fusu came in to serve her to freshen up, and when he saw the tears on her face, he knew that she had dreamed of Shen Lanxi again, so he only shook his head at her. Gu Qingning washed his face and smiled at her: "It's okay." ”

Fusu nodded and continued to take care of her dressing and grooming. Gu Qingning never treats Fusu as a maid, even if Fusu has always been restrained and thoughtful, and Gu Qingning, whether in the farm or in the house, insists on doing everything by himself, and is not the eldest lady who needs a maid to serve him. Therefore, although Fusu is active every day, he does not need to serve at all times, most of the time he is helping Uncle Tang take care of other families, and he will also serve the rest of the Gu family thoughtfully, silently and carefully, restrained and calm.

Gu Qingning got up early to dress up, Fusu went out, and when she packed up and was ready to share breakfast with her family, Fusu came to her boudoir again, handed her a brocade box and a letter, and signaled to Gu Qingning that someone had sent it to the house and handed it to Uncle Tang, and Uncle Tang asked her to bring it.

The envelope was not signed, but she knew the brocade box, and when she opened it, she was all too familiar with its contents - it was all the gold and silver soft jewelry rings she had bought at the pawnshop four months earlier.

At that time, the Lu family was still paying attention to the movements of the Gu family, the Gu family pretended to be pitiful, Gu Qingxuan pretended to be sick in front of her, and she often came to the city on the pretext of buying medicine, but in fact she was listening to the news of the imperial city. It was inconvenient for them to interact with the Jiang family's father and daughter on the surface, so they used Tongyuantang as the news relay point, and entrusted Zhang Hengchong and Dr. Zhang to help the two of them deliver the news.

Dr. Zhang was framed by powerful people in his early years and almost lost his life, and later turned to Shen Lanxi to get Gu Qingxuan's help, so the Gu family has the grace to save his life, and he and Shen Lanxi have been friends with doctors and patients for many years, so let him help the Gu family, and the Gu family is relieved.

At that time, in order to be real in her play, she did not hesitate to pawn these jewelry in exchange for money to "buy medicine", creating a tragic situation in front of the Lu family's eyeliner.

At this time, these things reappeared in front of him, could it be that Dr. Zhang helped him redeem them? No, he will add the money he paid to Dr. Zhang to return it in the next medicine, she actually does not suffer a loss, and Dr. Zhang has no reason to do so.

So...... Who could this be?

She hurriedly opened the envelope and took out the letterhead, there was only a row of words on the paper, the handwriting was familiar, and she wrote: "I am extremely ashamed of you to the deepest and bitter to you so far." Qingning, may I be safe. ”

Signed, Yuanze.

Gu Qingning read the letter, and after pausing for a moment, he ran to the side hall of the main hall with his things. At this time, Gu Qingfeng, who had drunk a few more glasses last night, had not yet gotten up, Gu Qingxuan and Gu Qingxuan were sitting at the table drinking porridge, she walked in quickly, but did not sit down for breakfast, but put things in front of their eyes and explained the reason.

When Gu Qinghuan heard this, he was a little uneasy: "The Lu family noticed that we were back so quickly! How is this good? Isn't it in vain for half a year?"

Gu Qingxuan said: "No, even if they notice it at this time, they won't do anything to the Gu family, Lu Yuanzhi is also troubled now, the Lu family is busy preparing for the marriage of Lu Yuanze and the county lord of Chengshuo, as long as we maintain the status quo for the time being, they won't care about us." ”

The Gu family did as before, and stayed in the inner city of Chang'an on the pretext of seeing a doctor for Gu Qingxuan, and the days were peaceful, and everything was as usual.

And a few days later, rumors gradually spread in Chang'an City, saying that Lu Yuanze, the eldest son of Xiangguo, who was going to marry the county lord, had actually married someone else for a long time, and it was a multi-year marriage contract, but the Lu family reneged on the contract in order to cling to the royal family, delayed the woman for many years and did not marry, and also caused the family to be ruined and died in a bleak recent situation......

After a while, it was rumored that it was the Gu family who made a contract to marry the Lu family, the original second-grade household Shangshu family, and Lu Yuanze lived up to the Gu family's eldest lady Gu Qingning.

There are also rumors that Grand Prince Lu has no old love for Miss Gu, and secretly helped each other when the Gu family was down, redeemed the gold and silver jewelry for Miss Gu, and attached a love letter to send it, intending to carry the lord of Chengshuo behind his back and renew the relationship with Miss Gu......

It is even rumored that Miss Gu has lost her virginity for Prince Lu......

In the middle of the month, rumors were raging in Chang'an City, and everyone, including the Lu family, turned their attention to the Gu family again.

Gu Qingning's reputation was almost ruined, and Gu Qingxuan was really ill.

At the end of September, there were many famous ladies gathered in the group of Fangzhai on the top floor of Jiangyue Building, and they all came here to participate in the poetry meeting held by Jiang Xiange every month.

Jiang Xiange's reputation as "the first beauty in Chang'an" has been passed down for many years, she is not only beautiful, but also talented, whether it is music, calligraphy and painting or poetry, it is convincing, and Jiang Yuelou's popularity is too high, although she is not from a prestigious family, but she can also make countless famous daughters of the same age in Chang'an City flock to her and make friends with her, and they all admire her. Besides, these ladies are also boring on weekdays, and men can still have fun outside with their friends, and they can't even go out of the house without a special reason. In order to envelop these young ladies and officials and listen to the news from their mouths, Jiang Xiange held this elegant gathering in this group of Fangzhai, gathering once a month to talk about poetry and literature, and over time it became a daily pastime for all the daughters of Chang'an.

After chatting about the poems, some idle ladies will naturally mention the rumors that have spread all over Chang'an City recently, Miss Huang is the most broken-mouthed, in fact, as soon as she enters the door, she wants to inquire, it is difficult for her to hold back at this time, she pretended to lean mysteriously next to Jiang Xiange, pulled her water sleeve, and asked: "Sister Xiange, I heard that Miss Gu and you grew up together since childhood...... I wonder if you already know what is going on? Why did the Gu family fail? You can also tell your sisters. ”

Several people also began to coax, wanting Jiang Xiange to reveal the inside story. Jiang Xiange flipped through the anthology by himself, and said disapprerovitically: "Growing up together since childhood? I met her, but because her father and my father were old friends, so they occasionally socialized, and I had any feelings for her, but I had just met, she was ...... Oh, it's not easy to recruit, I don't have much to do with it, don't wronged me......"

"Good sister, I don't want to wronged you, just ask, ask, it's true, Sister Xiange is so clean, how can she have much friendship with that kind of person...... The sisters are just curious, this rumor is really harsh recently, how true is it and how much is false?"

Jiang Xiange picked up the pen to write, stopped again, and said to himself: "...... Well...... I'm wondering too...... Earlier, I heard that she used all her jewelry as a supplement for the family, however, the day before yesterday, I happened to see her on the street, and I saw that she was wearing last year's beaded hairpin, and the white jade bracelet seemed to have been worn by her, which was left to her by her mother, and I heard my father say it......"

The voice was a little quieter, but it was still clearly audible: "It's also Ao, she hasn't been out of the cabinet now, it's really strange at this age......"

As she spoke, she seemed to be distracted, muttering in pieces, and then she shook her head, looked at everyone, and quickly shook her head: "Eh, look at me confused, what are you muttering about, don't take it seriously, I'm just talking nonsense." ”

That being said, they believe the rumors even more because of her bits and pieces of muttering.

The poetry meeting ended, the chatter ended, the young lady and the officials dispersed, and only Jiang Xiange was left to clean up the bookcase, and with a shake of his hand, he knocked over the inkstone, and the black ink instantly soaked the entire snow-white manuscript......

"String song, don't worry, I'm fine. ”

Gu Qingning walked out from behind the innermost screen in the study, followed by Fusu, and said relief when he saw that she was emotionally unstable.

Jiangyue Tower, always Jiangyue Tower, here can not only gather Chang'an to hear the secrets, but also let the rumors spread to Chang'an City.
