Chapter 449: Gossip
These two titles turned around in his head, and Minglan knew who was coming.
She was slightly surprised in her heart, in this life, many things are very different from the previous life, not only her mother and Song Yuan were pregnant in advance, but even the Xu family in Qianzhou sent people to Beijing in advance to prepare for the draft.
The Xu family in Qianzhou is the old lady's maiden family, and the old lady in charge of the Xu family is the cousin of the old lady.
Qianzhou is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and it is inconvenient to come and go, but every New Year's holiday, there should be etiquette, and the Bofu and Xu family have never been less.
In their previous life, when they received a letter from the Xu family, the old lady couldn't close her mouth happily, but they were not so happy, which meant that they had one more cousin who competed with them for favor.
The old lady told them a thousand times that they must treat the cousin of the Xu family well, but they didn't dare to disobey.
But it was so coincidental that in order to please the old lady, they went to Shuyu Pavilion to choose a headdress together, and planned to give it to the cousin of the Xu family, but they met the cousin of the Xu family unexpectedly in front of the Shuyu Pavilion.
At that time, they didn't know anyone, the two carriages accidentally collided together, Gu Yinlan's head hurt, and the little guy in the house and the Xu family coachman almost fought, and finally they were afraid that they would make a big joke, so they each took a step back.
It's just a step back and forbearance for a while, but it's not like that.
Gu Yinlan is not a generous person, he has a grudge in his heart, and robbed Cousin Xu of the hairpin.
Cousin Xu is not easy to mess with, she has a jade bracelet in her hand, and when Gu Yinlan bumps into her, as soon as her hand slips, the jade bracelet falls into several petals.
Gu Yinlan lost four hundred taels, and wanted to splash the blood of the Xu family's cousin on the spot, but Gu Yulan and the others dragged them away.
However, these things were all said by Gu Rulan and listened to her afterwards.
At that time, she was busy embroidering wedding dresses, and did not go to Shuyu Pavilion, but went to the Splendid Workshop to select silk threads.
The next day, Mrs. Xu took Cousin Xu to the door to meet the old lady, they went to greet her, and watching Cousin Xu get out of the carriage, Gu Yinlan blurted out, "It's you!"
At that time, the scene really couldn't have been more embarrassing.
Fortunately, everyone could bear it, pretending that nothing had happened, and when they saw the ceremony, they led them to greet the old lady.
The residence was packed up early, Mrs. Xu wanted to take her daughter to say goodbye, and the old lady said that it was not safe outside, and they must be kept in the house.
Cousin Xu participated in the draft and entered Beijing early, didn't she just want to move around in many ways and find a good future for her daughter, the Xu family was far away in Qianzhou, and the powerful ladies in Kyoto didn't know a few, so they pointed to Bofu as a stepping stone.
Mrs. Xu and Cousin Xu stayed, and Cousin Xu gave a heavy gift to Gu Yinlan to compensate them, but they were the closest to her.
Who let this mansion be the only one who didn't have a head-on conflict with her, so they naturally got closer.
In addition, she is going to marry Zhao Yi, he is Queen Zhao's maiden nephew, for a girl who is about to enter the palace draft, it is beneficial and harmless to be good with her.
They all thought that she wanted to enter the palace, but her maid Haitang found that Cousin Xu's maid secretly took a painting to copy on the street, and later the painting appeared in the rockery of Bofu.
It was Chu Li who was painted on the painting.
At that time, a portrait of Chu Li appeared in the house, and it also caused an uproar, privately hiding the portrait of a man, and writing words of admiration, is this not clear that it is Sichun?
This has to be preached, and the reputation is gone.
No one recognized the painting, and after a few words, the old lady ordered the painting to be burned, and the matter was over.
However, with the appearance of this painting, the matter of her saving the young master Chu with blood was also turned out by the maids and little maids to discuss, and Gu Yinlan also ridiculed her for not eating the bowl and thinking about the pot, she ignored her.
She knew that it was Cousin Xu who painted it, but she didn't understand why she did it, she just took care of the old lady, and she didn't say anything.
Later, Cousin Xu came to her more diligently, and inquired about Chu Li, and she suddenly understood that she admired Chu Li, but she was a newcomer and wanted to learn rules and etiquette, and she couldn't get out of Bofu.
Use the painting of the painter on the street and throw it at the rockery, no matter who finds it, it will be spreading, as long as Chu Li is a child of a Kyoto family, there will always be someone who knows, and her purpose will be achieved.
Such a smart way of finding people is amazing, and his love for Chu Li is also obvious.
It's just such a love, after learning that Chu Li had a strange poison in his body and that there was no medicine in the medicine stone, there was a moment of trance, her hand shook in front of her, and asked, "What's wrong?"
She smiled, "It's nothing, I just think it's a pity, although I haven't seen him, but that painting is enough to show the style, but I didn't expect to be poisonous...... Is there really no way to solve his poison?"
Can she solve it, how could she possibly know that she is not a doctor.
Moreover, she didn't think that even if Chu Li wasn't poisoned, she would be able to marry him.
The official position of the Xu family is not high, her family background is not obvious, and she entered the palace for the draft, although it is possible that she will be assigned to Chu Li by the emperor, but the hope is too slim, almost negligible, unless Chu Li takes the initiative to ask the emperor for marriage.
At that time, she was all about marrying Zhao Yi, and she was not curious at all about how she had met Chu Li, but she didn't know that it was him.
Later, it was the palace draft.
She was favored by the prince, entered the East Palace, and worked hard to drill the camp, and when the prince had an accident, she had already climbed to the position of the side concubine, and there was a small county lord by her side, and she was pregnant with one in her belly.
The prince was so grief-stricken that she had a miscarriage that night, and she was five months pregnant, a boy.
She doesn't have much to do with her, Queen Zhao doesn't like her, as the crown prince's concubine, how could she do something that Queen Zhao doesn't like.
Her blood can detoxify all kinds of poisons, she is in the palace, afraid that someone will harm her, and ask her for a few drops of blood.
That time when she entered the palace, Empress Zhao and Mrs. Zhao chatted in the pavilion of the imperial garden, she pulled her aside to enjoy the flowers, and asked her for two drops of blood, knowing that she was weak in order to take care of Xuan'er, so she asked, she inadvertently talked about taking Gu Yinlan to Zhao's house to pray for Xuan'er, she blurted out, "Are you crazy?"
At that time, she was stunned, looking at her sluggishly, she also felt that she had overreacted, and said gently, "When I lived in Bofu before, I knew that she was arrogant and not a person who was willing to live under others, what did you do when you brought her into the Zhao family?"
She said that she led Gu Yinlan into Zhao's house to pray for Xuan'er, but she didn't listen to it, so she had to say it again.
Knowing that it was Mrs. Zhao who asked her to invite Gu Yinlan, her tone changed a little more, and said, "I just think that there are so many people who can pray for blessings, why did Mrs. Zhao choose Gu Yinlan alone, let her be an unmarried daughter, live in the Zhao family, and be not afraid of gossip?"
