Chapter Eighty-Six: The Post of the Duanwang Mansion
Since Gu Yuhe returned home, five or six days have passed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the past few days, she has been calm, whether it is Mama Huang secretly reporting or the report of kumquat and green chrysanthemum, she is nothing more than reading and embroidering in the east courtyard.
However, the most common thing to do is to stand under the corridor, watching the flowers fall in a courtyard, muttering a few words once in a while, and no one can hear what she is saying.
The only thing that was unusual was a few midnight dream talks, vaguely calling out about my mother or grandmother, which seemed to be painful.
Kumquat Green Chrysanthemum only thought that she missed her deceased lady, but she didn't find anything strange.
Gu Yuqing sneered in her heart when she listened to the report of kumquat and green chrysanthemum, when Gu Yuhe was born, the Gusu family had already been wiped out, she had never even seen her grandmother, and the grandmother in her mouth was naturally not her grandmother.
What's more, northerners call grandmothers, and only southerners call grandmothers.
This reminded Gu Yuqing that Gu Yuhe's biological mother should be a southerner.
On this day, Gu Yuqing was explaining to the housekeeper under the corridor that the housekeeper was buying ice to prepare for the heat, Gu Yuhe helped the kumquat to come from afar, wearing a goose-yellow satin dress, walking in the fine sunshine, a little shining.
The woman couldn't help but sigh, "The eldest lady really loves the second lady, this dress is worth a lot of money at first glance, even the eldest lady herself has never worn such a good material." ”
Gu Yuqing glanced at Gu Yuhe coldly, and did not answer the flattering words of the mother-in-law, but just gave a few more words to pay attention to, and sent him back.
When Gu Yuhe approached, the disgust in Gu Yuqing's eyes had been well hidden, and he only asked with a smile: "Come here at this time, but what's the matter?"
Gu Yuhe sat down opposite Gu Yuqing with a pouting face and an unhappy face, picked up a fruit and took a bite, and said, "Sister, I'm not used to eating the sweet soup made by the new chef, I still want to eat Du Niangzi's cooking." ”
Gu Yuqing smiled patiently: "Du Niangzi has something at home, how can we be domineering and forcibly leave others!"
Gu Yuhe threw the fruit he had gnawed in his hand on the table unhappily, looked at Gu Yuqing and said: "Sister will deceive people, Du Niangzi is clearly lonely, where is the family, where is the family." ”
Saying that, Gu Yuhe wanted to reach out and pull Gu Yuqing's hand, "Good sister, you can invite Du Niangzi back again, can you bear to watch me eat sweetly?"
Gu Yuqing happened to raise her hand to serve the tea cup on the table, dodged Gu Yuhe's hand, took a sip of tea, and said: "The cook lady who cooks for you now came out of the palace, and her skills are hundreds of times better than Du Niangzi." ”
Gu Yuhe pounced, so he had to stop his hand, and still muttered: "But I just like Du Niangzi's craftsmanship." ”
Gu Yuqing suddenly had a sharp light in her eyes, and looked straight at Gu Yuhe, "Are you inseparable from Du Niangzi or her sweet soup?"
Suddenly being asked by Gu Yuqing, it went straight to the bottom of his heart, Gu Yuhe's face suddenly turned white, and his body couldn't help but tremble, stunned.
Gu Yuqing looked at Gu Yuhe's reaction, a sneer flashed in her heart, and she no longer looked at her.
"Gu Fu has never been a family of bullies, Du Niangzi has something to do at home, we have no reason to force her to stay, you are not used to eating the new chef's meal, it is just a temporary discomfort, it will be fine in a few days." Gu Yuqing suppressed her emotions, squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and tried to say to Gu Yuhe calmly.
"I have other things to attend to here, if you have nothing else to do, go back first. ”
Gu Yuqing said, got up and lifted her skirt and left, letting Gu Yuhe's face change behind him, and horror flashed in his eyes.
Looking at the back of Gu Yuqing leaving, Gu Yuhe's heart was uneasy.
What happened during the days when she was not in the house!
Du Niangzi, why is she not in the house.
Did my sister notice something that killed her like Mother Zhao? Or was there something else, or was it really as my sister said, she did have something at home.
But my grandmother clearly said that Du Niangzi was a widow without a home.
Gu Yuhe stumbled back to the east courtyard, grabbed Kumquat's hand as soon as he entered the door, and asked sharply, "You say, where did Du Niangzi go?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a golden hairpin on his head and pierced the palm of the kumquat.
Kumquat broke out in a cold sweat when he was in pain, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Second Miss, the slave maid has said countless times, Du Niangzi really has something at home, and she and the eldest lady have resigned and left." ”
"Really?" Gu Yuhe's immature little face was covered with ruthlessness that did not match her age.
Kumquat nodded with red eyes, "How dare the slave maid deceive Miss, besides, everyone in the house knows about this matter, and Miss can ask anyone to get the answer." ”
Gu Yuhe's heart was impetuous, he shook off Kumquat's hand, and sat there stunned for a moment.
After a while, he came back to his senses, glanced down at Kumquat, suddenly bent down and took Kumquat's hand, and said with a guilty face: "Kumquat, I'm sorry, I hurt you, I didn't mean to, I just want Du Niangzi......"
As he spoke, Gu Yuhe touched a pair of earrings from his earlobe, and couldn't help but stuff them into Kumquat's hand, "This is for you, it is my compensation, don't be angry with Kumquat, let alone tell my sister, I really didn't mean to." ”
Kumquat didn't know why Gu Yuhe suddenly changed her mood, but she only felt that she was more creepy than Fang Cai at this moment.
In order to make Gu Yuhe feel at ease, Kumquat pretended to be open-eyed and took the gold earrings.
Seeing this, Gu Yuhe breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, a thick layer of disdain appeared in his eyes.
A subordinate person is a subordinate person, and they are all the same cheap in their bones! To deal with this kind of person, it is enough to give her some benefits.
Of course, Gu Yuhe wouldn't know that this matter finally reached Gu Yuqing's ears through Kumquat's mouth.
On the day when Kumquat went to report, Gu Yuqing happened to be holding a post in his hand, it was the princess of Duanwangfu who was going to hold a summer solstice banquet, and invited the celebrities and nobles in Kyoto to have a lively time.
Duanwangfu's post is very distinctive, not to mention how dazzling the end word is embroidered with gold thread on the frosted red cover, just the shape of the post can make people recognize where it comes from at a glance.
Other people's posts are all regular rectangular, but hers is a diamond-shaped.
After the kumquat finished reporting, he caught a glimpse of Gu Yuqing's post on the small table, frowned slightly, and said, "Early this morning, the second lady also received such a post." ”
There is an unwritten rule in Kyoto that unless Gu Yuhe is invited alone, posts are generally only sent to Gu Yuqing.
Gu Yuqing was stunned when she heard this, picked up the post in her hand and held it up in the air, shook it, and said, "It's the same as this?"
Kumquat nodded and said firmly: "The same, the post of Duanwangfu is unique, and the slave and maid remember it well." ”
