As the days passed, Yu Mingzhi finally finished embroidering the quilt smoothly. Guo Long, Yang Run Jinwei, and Guo Zeng's all came to see her craftsmanship and sincerely praised things for being good.

She could finally rest assured, folded the quilt properly, put it in a red brocade box, picked a good day and sent it to the Qin family, and spread it on the bed in their cave room.

The Qin family had already arranged the new house, but Qin Ji didn't take her to see it, saying that he wanted to surprise her.

Yu Mingzhi waited for this surprise with peace of mind.

Everything about the marriage is being prepared in a tense and joyful way.

Concubine Zhao, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Fu really sent the congratulatory gifts they had prepared five days before the wedding, a full five boxes of things, all of which were fine jade treasures. Yu Mingzhi took a look at it, and asked someone to carry it to the pawnshop and fold it into silver and send it to the Salesian Bureau.

Out of sight, out of mind, out of mind, make the best use of things, this is the best destination for those things.

In a blink of an eye, on the last day of July, Yu Mingzhi felt his heart beating hard when he woke up in the morning, thinking that tomorrow would be the day he had been looking forward to getting married for a long time, and he felt like he was dreaming.

She stared at the bed tent for a long time, and the white embroidered tent was like a layer of fog, covering her eyes.

She pinched her eyebrows, heard the busy movements of the maids, so she got up and prepared to freshen up, although everything that should be prepared was ready, but after being busy for a long time, she couldn't be idle for a moment.

"Squeak-"

As soon as her foot stepped on the ground, she touched something soft, accompanied by a shrill scream.

Zhu'er and Jing'er heard it and hurriedly rushed in. "Miss, what's wrong?" The more they got married, the more nervous they became, Childe had explained before, those rivals just couldn't see him well, so they tried every possible way to destroy all his things, and Miss Nature was no exception, accidents could happen all the time.

Yu Mingzhi smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a few rats." ”

After seeing the rat last time. She asked Zhu'er to come over. I didn't expect it to be again.

"Why is it again? I also put medicine in the corner, for fear that I will bite Miss or your clothes at night......"

Yu Mingzhi got up, ran to the hanger barefoot, and uncovered the white yarn used to block the ashes.

The white yarn fell like a cloud of smoke. piled up at her feet. The bright red color fell into her eyes.

"Look. There. She pointed to one place for Zhu'er and Jing'er.

The two maids came up to take a look, and there were a few small but conspicuous openings at the hem. Judging from the edges, it was a rat biting out.

Jing'er gasped.

Zhu'er put the shoes in her hand at Yu Mingzhi's feet, "Miss, it's cold on the ground, you put your shoes on quickly." ”

Yu Mingzhi's face did not change, he calmly put on his shoes, and then turned around and walked to the makeup mirror, "That's true." ”

Zhu'er asked, "Miss, ...... next?"

"Let's just assume it didn't happen. Yu Mingzhi disagreed, "Zhu'er, comb me a nice bun today." "It's a pity that the groom can't see the bride on the eve of marriage, and he hasn't seen Qin Ji for the past few days.

But luckily, tomorrow will be their big day.

Zhu'er knew that she was in a good mood, so she opened the jewelry box and chose it for her, "Tomorrow, there will be a combing grandmother in the palace to comb the young lady's hair, and Baozhun Er's combing looks better than Zhu'er." Zhu'er will take the opportunity to discuss more with Mama tomorrow, and in the future, Miss will comb Madame's hairstyle and learn more. ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "Okay, look at Zhu'er." ”

Jing'er cleaned up over there and put the white yarn back on the hanger, as if they hadn't noticed that the clothes were torn at all.

The three of them talked and laughed, and after breakfast, they took a walk in the courtyard to eat.

Guo Changle knocked on the door of Chengyun Courtyard and brought fresh melons, "Tomorrow will be your good day." He was quite impressed, although the arrival of this fake daughter set off a storm in the Guo family, but it also revealed the truth that had been hidden for many years, allowing him to see the true face of the people around him, and at the same time bringing unexpected wealth to the Guo family.

In the final analysis, this fake daughter is still worth it.

If the wife is gone, she can remarry, and it is enough for the daughter to have one that can bring endless benefits.

"This is today's congratulatory gift. He looked kind, as if he really treated her as a daughter.

Yu Mingzhi also cooperated, "Thank you." ”

Guo Chang looked around, "Chengyun Courtyard has been okay recently, right?"

His question was meaningful, making people think that something had happened in the courtyard.

Looks like he knows something. Yu Mingzhi remained silent, shook his head and said, "Everything is fine." ”

Guo Chang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Everything is ready?"

"Well, it's ready. Yu Mingzhi said.

Guo Chang looked around the courtyard again and said with a smile: "If there is anything, just come to me." The marriage of a girl is a big deal, you have to do your best in everything, and you can't make a little mess. ”

Yu Mingzhi smiled and nodded, "I know, you don't have to be nervous, everything is under control." ”

There was a deep meaning in her words, and she conveyed a certain meaning to Guo Chang.

It's up to him to see if he can understand it.

"That's good. Guo Chang sighed, "You can rest for a while, you will be busy tomorrow." ”

"Good. Yu Mingzhi sent Guo Chang out.

After she came back, Zhu'er said, "He must know what the old lady of the Guo family did,"

Yu Mingzhi said: "If you know, you know, I just don't have a seizure, so as not to be ugly up and down." After all, tomorrow will be the first day of August, and it will not be good for anyone to make a disturbance. ”

Zhu'er felt justified when she heard this, and nodded, "Fortunately, they will move to the Qin family tomorrow, no matter how much trouble they make, they won't be able to bother Miss." ”

"Yes. Yu Mingzhi smiled and touched the bead hairpin on his bun.

The three of them watched the lotus flowers and carp by the pond for a while, and when Zhu'er saw that the sun was getting hotter and hotter, she invited her back to the house to rest.

Yu Mingzhi drank a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat, leaning on the soft couch to read.

In the afternoon, when the people in the house were supposed to hide in the shade to rest and do things, a little maid hurried through the corridor and path. There was a knock on the door of Chengun Temple.

"It's Caiyun. Jing'er said.

Yu Mingzhi glanced at the two maids before nodding, "Open the door." ”

It must be that Mrs. Guo hasn't seen any movement in Chengyun Courtyard for a long time, so she sent Caiyun to investigate, right?

Then they put on a play for her.

Caiyun was called in and saluted Yu Mingzhi on the couch in a restrained manner, but unlike last time, she didn't hear the young lady tell her to get up for a long time. So she raised her head boldly, and saw that the eldest lady frowned deeply, and her eyes were red when she looked out the window, as if she had just cried.

She spoke again, "Miss." The old lady knows you like it. Therefore he sent a slave and a maidservant to give you cakes and fruits. ”

Pearls stepped forward to take her basket.

Caiyun found that the maid's expression was also a little flustered.

It seems that something really happened, but they suppressed the matter and didn't let outsiders know.

The old lady's plan worked. She had to hurry back and tell her about the good thing.

Yu Mingzhi sighed at this time. Said to Zhu'er, "Find a way." Tell Qin Sheren as soon as possible, you must come up with a countermeasure before tonight, otherwise it will be too late. ”

Zhu'er "eh". "The slave and maid will go. With that, he ran out.

Caiyun hung his head and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Yu Mingzhi seemed to notice her existence at this moment, and asked, "The old lady has something to do with me?"

Caiyun said: "The old lady sent a slave maid to deliver cakes and fruits, you see, they are all here." She pointed to the basket that had been placed on the low table by Zhu'er.

Yu Mingzhi lifted the cloth and glanced at it, barely showing a slight smile, "Thank you for the old lady's kindness." ”

Caiyun saw that she was smiling very reluctantly, and the thoughts in her heart became a little firmer, "That slave didn't bother Miss and retired." ”

Yu Mingzhi nodded hastily.

Caiyun lowered his head and hurriedly retreated.

After Yu Mingzhi saw the maid walk out of the house, he glanced back halfway to the gate of the courtyard before running out.

She smiled, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then drank mung bean soup leisurely.

As soon as Jing'er took the basket away, Zhu'er came back, and she never left Chengyun Courtyard half a step from beginning to end.

"Now, Mrs. Guo should believe that something happened to Chengyun Courtyard, right?" she said, "Then you won't come to toss us again." ”

Yu Mingzhi nodded, "I see her expression, I believe it, just let that old lady be happy for a while." ”

Zhu'er came up to pinch her shoulders and beat her legs, "I will definitely be surprised when I see Miss tomorrow morning." At that time, it was too late to play tricks. ”

"Yes. Yu Mingzhi sighed comfortably, "I worked too hard to embroider things a few days ago, and my shoulders are still a little sore now, please rub them for me a little longer, can you rub them for me a while?"

"Good!" replied Pearl, briskly.

Just as the three masters and servants were leisurely passing the last days before marriage, a string of laughter sounded in the courtyard of Mrs. Guo.

"Yes, let her suffer a little, so that she knows that things in the world can't all go her way!" Old Madam Guo happily walked around the house, "Tomorrow, see how she makes a fool of herself in front of people!"

Several of her maids laughed with her, and scolded the eldest lady who didn't know what to do.

"Is Zeng Linlang at home today?" Enough laughter, Guo Zengshi asked the mother-in-law beside him.

The woman said: "I went back to my parents' house early in the morning, saying that I was bringing something to the eldest lady." ”

"Sycophant!" Mrs. Guo scolded, "Go, accompany me to see Xiuning, my good daughter-in-law has really suffered too much, and she blames this group of sluts!"

resented Guo Baozhi and Guo Zeng's embarrassment, and felt sorry for Yao Xiuning and Guo Baoyun who had suffered a lot.

Obviously, the old lady had secretly seen Yao Xiuning many times, so the mother-in-law was not surprised, and she prepared a bunch of things for the girl to carry, and then took the old lady to the remote courtyard in the north.

The rich and noble Guo family is hung with red lanterns and red silk cloth everywhere at the moment, and it is indescribable that it is joyful and rich.

The only place where there is a discord is in the courtyard to the north.

With heavy locks hanging from the dilapidated courtyard gate and dry moss and weeds on the steps, it is hard to imagine that this is also a courtyard of the Guo family.

The mother-in-law used the hairpin in her hair to insert it into the lock hole, and easily poured it twice, only to hear a "click", and the lock opened in response.

She pulled off her chains and quickly pushed open the courtyard door.

The wooden door trembled and staggered open, as if it might collapse at any moment.

On the steps of the courtyard was a tired and old-dressed woman, who looked up when she heard the noise, and when she saw the old lady at the door, her red eyes were suddenly full of tears, and she jumped up and hurried over, calling "Mother" in her mouth.

When Mrs. Guo heard this call, she felt extremely distressed, opened her arms and held the woman in her arms, and stroked her hair in distress.

"My Xiuning, you have suffered. ”

The mother-in-law beckoned the maid to come in quickly, and then closed the courtyard door so that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could talk.

Old Madam Guo rubbed her cold hands in this summer, and took Yao into the house to speak, while looking at the surrounding environment, she scolded hatefully: "This Zeng Linlang is really amazing! I dare to treat you like this, these windows are broken, and I don't know how to ask someone to repair it? And in the yard, the grass is almost so high, and I don't know if someone pulls it out! You are the eldest sister-in-law! Guo Chang is really dizzy!"

Yao listened to Mrs. Guo's scolding, and her tears flowed even more fiercely, and she said with a crying voice: "Mother, don't be angry. It's a hot day, your body can't bear it, if you hurt your body because of this, Xiuning will be to blame. ”

"Look at you, you are so kind, always thinking about others, don't you want to think about what situation you are in now?" Mrs. Guo was distressed, "Come, sit down, and see what I have brought you?"

The maids lined up in front of them, holding aloft what they were holding.

"This is a brand new bedding and pillow, this is your favorite cake and fruit, and also, this is a new window paper, I will repair all the windows for you in a while, and the roof tiles must also be repaired, right?" Mrs. Guo looked around, always feeling that she didn't bring enough things, "Also, bring some needles and threads and fabrics, I know you miss Baoyun and Baoqian, you can make some clothes and small things for them, so that they miss their mother." ”

Yao couldn't stop crying, "Mother, you're bothered." But I ...... I'm like this, what's the point of using these good things, mother, don't waste any more money!"

Old Madam Guo scolded: "How can you give up? You are the mistress of the Guo family! Take on the appearance of your mistress, don't say such things again! Baoqian needs you, and Baoyun also needs you to leave that damn Taoist temple! You will definitely go out, I will definitely think of a way to save you out! Without those little sluts talking bad in front of you, Guo Chang will definitely change his mind, don't worry, he still likes you very much! Speaking of which, a few days ago, I asked Bao Qian to go to Guo Baozhi and say good things to you, so that I could rescue you, but this little slut and Zeng Linlang used tricks to coax Bao Qian. ”

Yao lowered her head, how could she not know the reason......

Mrs. Guo said again: "That little slut is so unhappy, but now she can't be proud anymore, and she will be asked to make a fool of herself at the wedding tomorrow!"

Yao was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Guo was proud, "You listen to me one by one, ......" (to be continued.) )
