Chapter Seventy-Eight: Superficiality (2nd Update)
Minglan got up and walked to the study, but just as he was about to push open the door of the study, a maid came over and said, "Second girl, the eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion is here, and the old lady asked the girls to go and give her a salute." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Minglan looked back and replied, "I see." ”
Bizhu said curiously, "Why did the eldest lady of the Protector Mansion come to the mansion, and she didn't thank the girl for a few drawings, right?" ”
If you really want to thank you, it is enough for the four girls of the Protector Mansion to come, and they will not bother the eldest lady of the Protector Mansion to make a trip in person.
It doesn't matter why she came, she only knew that she was a little uneasy when she left Wang Shizi's jade pendant here, and what she said this time also asked Young Master Chu to take the jade pendant away.
But when she pushed the door open, the study was empty, and there was no human figure.
Bizhu's eyes widened, and she said, "The ...... who is obviously there." ”
Probably thought that she was in a hurry to see the old lady, so let's go first, can't we wait a while, it's not easy to come here.
Minglan shrugged his shoulders and turned around to go to Changsong Temple.
When she arrived, Gu Yinlan and the others were all there, even the third-room maid Gu Xilan was there, all of them were Lan Xinhui, gentle and subtle, and not lost and generous.
Seeing Minglan come in, the old lady smiled and said, "Come over and give a salute to the eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion." ”
Minglan stepped forward and greeted him with blessings.
The eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion looked at Minglan carefully, from head to toe, and then from foot to head, and praised, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the second girl has a lot more." ”
Gu Yinlan was on the side, a little unhappy, she and Minglan went to the Protector's Mansion together, and they were the first to come to see her, and the eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion didn't exaggerate her, but she was full of praise for Minglan, where could she compare to her?
Thinking of his empty chest, Gu Yinlan glanced at Minglan and pulled off the embroidered handkerchief in his hand fiercely.
Look at the person first and look at the chest, superficial!
The eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion said with a smile, "The second girl is so talented, I also read the painting given to Pei Yao and Princess Ling Rou, and the grandfather of the country also exaggerated eight words, and the painting is about to come, vivid." ”
The old lady was surprised, the protector even praised Minglan, is Minglan's painting really that good, why didn't she find it?
However, she vaguely understands the intention of the eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion this time, she generally praises the girl for being good, and there is only one purpose, that is, to marry home, but it is the eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion, so it can't be her son marrying a daughter-in-law, Minglan's painting is given to the three rooms and four girls of the Protector's Mansion, is it not for the third young master Li?
This is a good family affair, thinking about it, the old lady unconsciously brought a smile on the corner of her mouth.
She looked at Minglan and saw that her face was flushed, and she said modestly, "It's not as good as Grandpa Guo boasted, and I am a bad sister in the house." ”
"Second Miss Gu doesn't have to be modest," said the eldest lady of the Protector Mansion.
Not only is it generous, smart and clever, but also humble and polite, which is indeed good.
After the ceremony, the old lady waved her hand and asked them to go out to play, and Minglan and the others retired.
But they didn't go out, but went to the greenhouse, and the eldest lady of the Protector Mansion came to the house, there must be something, and they vaguely guessed what was going on, and they saw Minglan's eyes with envy and jealousy.
No matter which young master she marries to the Protector Mansion, she is the one who climbs high.
However, who can understand the depression and irritability in Minglan's heart, she never thought of marrying into the Protectorate Mansion at all, how did she become like this in this life.
As long as the eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion opens her mouth, the grandmother will respond in one bite, this time it is no better than the Yi'an Hou Mansion to propose, she can't retreat.
Minglan twisted the embroidered handkerchief in a hurry, didn't know what to do, rushed out and said that if she didn't get married, she would die a miserable death.
In the main hall, the eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion chatted with the old lady, even if she came to ask for marriage, she would not go straight to the topic, but would slowly lead it up, and it would be a matter of course......
However, just when the atmosphere was very suitable, the eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion was about to speak, and outside, a maid came in and said, "Old lady, I have sent someone from Wang Shizi." ”
Minglan's heart was raised, Gu Yinlan looked at Minglan, and the cold light in his eyes flickered.
She is the only one in the house who has something to do with Wang Shizi!
Leaving Wang Shizi to send someone to find her, he must be looking for her!
When the eldest lady of the Protectorate Mansion came to the door, the old lady was surprised, and she sent someone from Wang Shizi, which was frightened.
Jingningbo Mansion can't even reach the threshold of the Protector Mansion, let alone leave the palace, don't have anything happening.
The old lady steadied her heart and said, "Please." ”
The maid hurriedly withdrew, and after a while, the people who left the palace came, dressed in black, not smiling, and the people who watched were worried.
As soon as he came, the eldest lord also came, and asked, "I don't know why the prince of Liwang asked you to come......?" ”
The man said, "The prince lost a jade pendant, I heard that it was in the hands of the second girl Gu, I don't know if this is true?" ”
Minglan wants to strangle Xiao Huan and Chu Li's heart, just wait a while and die, he was not in a hurry before, but now it's okay, everyone has come to pick it up.
Minglan hurriedly instructed Bizhu, "Go and bring the jade pendant." ”
Bizhu rushed back to the Flowing Frost Garden and took the jade pendant.
After Minglan took the jade pendant, he went to the main hall and handed it to the man, "I saw Young Master Chu on the street that day, and asked him to hand it over, but he didn't take it, I forgot to let the maid send it for a while, which made the prince anxious." ”
The man didn't take the jade pendant, but smiled, "The second girl Gu is good at picking up gold, and the prince appreciates it, this jade pendant is related to the girl, so the girl will keep it." ”
After speaking, he made a farewell.
Poor Minglan's hand handing over the jade pendant was embarrassed and didn't know how to take it back, and he looked at the old lady, not knowing what to do.
She felt that her brain was not enough, didn't she come to get the jade pendant, why did she come and didn't want it, and said to give it to her, this is the jade pendant of the prince of the king, what is the matter with giving it to her?
Don't say that Lan's brain can't turn, the whole room is stunned, you look at me, I look at you.
The eyes of the eldest lady of the Protector Mansion fell on the jade pendant, no one else had seen the prince of Liwang, but she had seen it, this was the jade pendant he carried with him, it was a symbol of his identity, it was impossible to give it away, and now it was given to Gu Er, this is ......
The eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion glanced at Minglan a few more times, and became more and more firm in her thoughts, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she still maintained a smile and said, "There is still something in the mansion, so I'll go back first." ”
The old lady hurriedly asked the eldest lady to send her out of the house, and when she left, she looked at Minglan, "When did you pick up the jade pendant of the prince of the king?" ”
Minglan hummed and said, "It's the ...... that I picked up in the imperial garden when I entered the palace that day." ”
Gu Yinlan said, "If you pick it up in the palace, you should hand it over to Princess Ling Rou, how can you take it back to the house privately!" ”
It is not a problem to bring it back to the house privately, it is a big problem if everyone knows it, fortunately, I often use my brain these days, and the more I use it, the more flexible I become, Minglan pouted and said, "Of course I know that it should be handed over to Princess Ling Rou or others, and it should not be brought back to the house, but that day Brother Mao's matter, Young Master Chu helped me, and I still owe him a favor, I picked up his cousin's jade pendant, and I can be regarded as helping them...... I'll take it home. ”
