The days passed like water, and in the blink of an eye, it was late July.

No matter how comfortable Yu Mingzhi is in the Yang family, he has to go back to the Guo family to prepare for marriage.

Before the arrival of the first day of the eighth month, there were still many things to be done, which were carried out in an orderly manner under the hands of the people arranged by Qin Ji.

Guo Chang personally came to pick up Yu Mingzhi and returned to Guo's house, Chengyun Courtyard was re-arranged, and the utensils were more luxurious than before, the windows and doors were pasted with big red happy characters early, and the lanterns were also replaced with red, and there was a piece of joy everywhere.

After Guo Chang waited for Yu Mingzhi to look around the room, he asked, "What do you think is not satisfied with?" ”

Zhu'er and Jing'er carefully hung the wedding dress on the hanger, gently smoothed out the suspected wrinkles with their hands, and then made sure that nothing happened to the wedding dress before retreating.

Yu Mingzhi nodded and said, "Everything is fine, I bothered you." ”

Guo Chang breathed a sigh of relief, "If there is still something dissatisfied, take advantage of the fact that the day has not yet come, hurry up and say, we still have a chance to change it, and we must make the marriage between you and the Qin Sheren beautiful." ”

Yu Mingzhi smiled and nodded, "I know." ”

Guo Chang waved his hand, "You rest, I'll go back to the shop." ”

"Walk slowly." Yu Mingzhi watched Guo Chang walk out of Chengyun Courtyard, and then came to sit on the soft couch next to the bed, which was covered with a layer of soft cushions and a layer of mats, and at the end of July, it was soft and would not feel hot.

Zhu'er brought two cushions to pillow behind her, Jing'er brought tea, cakes and seasonal fresh fruits, and Yu Mingzhi was half-lying comfortably, blowing a small breeze through the window. Eating and looking at the beautiful view of the rearranged courtyard.

Zhu'er played a fan next to her, Yu Mingzhi ate two pieces of honeydew melon, and asked, "Can Qin Ji go to the court today?" ”

With that kind of injury, it hurts to the bones when you move it twice. There are so many messes outside, and it's sad to worry about, and I don't know when I will be completely healed. So Qin Ji continued to call for sick leave, and waited for nothing serious before returning to the yamen.

Shan Jingwei and his men were exterminated, and the Shan family was also driven to other places. He had only one daughter, and his wife was a weak man. I can't make waves anymore.

A new candidate for the Chinese scholar has been proposed. Even if Zhao Zhong had any opinions, he was pressed by Lao Zhongshu Ling and Gu Zhongyi, so that he couldn't interject.

This turmoil finally subsided, but the true face of the kidnappers was still incomprehensible.

Zhu'er replied, "Childe has gone to the court." Rested for a while. I'm in good health now. ”

Yu Mingzhi nodded. Eat another piece of honeydew melon.

The mouth was a little cold, and then a hint of sweetness spread in the mouth.

She squinted and smiled.

Zhu'er looked at her face, thinking that she would go back to Qin's house and just bump into Miss Chu. The Chu girl is also an eyeless one. Seeing Childe and Miss Yu together, I didn't know how to avoid it for the time being. I have lived in the Qin family for many years, is there anything I need to say in a hurry?

must have deliberately made a show for Miss Yu.

After Miss Yu returned to the Yang family, she never asked about Miss Chu, and she didn't take it to heart at all.

But is that also the case in her heart?

I'm really afraid that because of Miss Chu, there is a gap between Gongzi and Miss Yu.

However, Miss Chu relied on her identity, and they didn't dare to do anything to her.

Thinking of this, Zhu'er suddenly came back to her senses, noticing that there was a series of footsteps approaching Chengyun Temple. Sure enough, the courtyard door was soon pushed open, and the two mothers-in-law stood in front of the door menacingly, and among them was Mrs. Guo.

The maid guarding the door was just about to speak out to stop her, but she was reprimanded by her mother-in-law, "Can't the old lady want to come and see her own granddaughter?" What a thing that doesn't have rules! ”

After that, Mrs. Guo has already stepped into the threshold.

Zhu'er frowned and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Yu Mingzhi swept his skirt and sat up, "Now that the Yao family is under guard, Guo Baoyun is in the Taoist temple outside the city, what kind of storm can she set off alone?" Let her speak, lest it be spread out and people think that being a junior is disrespecting the elders. ”

Zhu'er helped her to the door to greet her.

Old Madam Guo looked at Yu Mingzhi from her head a few times in displeasure, and said coldly: "Why don't you know how to go to the elders to say hello when you come back from your aunt's house?" ”

Zhu'er said: "The master told the young lady to rest." ”

"......" Mrs. Guo pursed her lips, walked straight forward, sat on the main seat, and then saw the fiery red and gorgeous wedding dress, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

is such a big battle, Guo Baozhi is infinitely beautiful, pity her Xiuning and Baoyun, and suffer from the victims. Originally, such glory should have belonged to their mother and daughter, but they were snatched away by the daughter of the slut.

Xiuning was taken care of, and the family was handed over to Zeng Linlang to take charge of. This second daughter-in-law, who looks obedient on weekdays, shows her true colors, making all kinds of difficulties and showing Ning, and does not give her enough food and clothing. She once raised an objection to Guo Chang, but she didn't take it to heart until now, and let Zeng Linlang abuse Xiuning. And she had the heart to help, but was stopped by Zeng Linlang, saying that she was "afraid that my sister-in-law will go crazy and deny her six relatives and hurt her mother-in-law." My sister-in-law will take care of me, everything is fine, and my mother-in-law doesn't need to bother."

Look at how shameless this woman is, but it's a pity that although she is a mother-in-law, she can't do anything about her.

It's really angry and hateful.

As for Baoyun who is in the Taoist temple, such a pampered and delicate little girl, she has always been clothed and cared for, but after arriving at the Taoist temple, how can there be a good thing to eat and stretch her hand? She has to come by herself, eats green vegetables and tofu, lives in a leaky and dilapidated house, gets up every morning to sprinkle and sweep the scriptures, serves the master and sister, washes and cooks, and is not as good as the rough girls of the Guo family.

Last time, she went out of the city to worship the Buddha under the pretext of visiting Baoyun, and happened to bump into her struggling to carry two buckets of water uphill, and the heavy flat burden pressed on her thin shoulders, one accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, and the water was all spilled, and the busy work for half a day was in vain.

This scene made her cry silently at the time.

She felt sorry for Ji Baoyun and was about to take her back immediately.

Unexpectedly, before the carriage arrived at the door of the car, it was blocked by the people sent by Guo Chang. He was sent back to the Taoist temple.

The scene of the two ancestors and grandchildren separating again is still clearly imprinted in my mind at this moment, lingering, and I can't help crying every time I think of it.

All of this is Guo Baozhi's fault!

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

Since Guo Baozhi came back, this family has not been peaceful, and it has to be torn apart.

Seeing that Old Madam Guo's face was getting more and more gloomy, Yu Mingzhi was indifferent, she didn't have to think about it to know what she was angry about, and what kind of struggle she was preparing to do in vain. It's a pity that as the wedding date approaches. Guo Chang obtained the qualification to supply some ingredients in the palace. made a lot of money steadily.

He was a businessman who supported such a large family.

Only by recognizing money but not people can we continue in the long run.

"Grandmother came to find Baozhi, but what do you have to say?" There was silence for a long time. Yu Mingzhi was the first to speak.

Mrs. Guo said, "You are about to get married." At this time, it is even more auspicious to have a happy family reunion. So go and tell your father that he will bring your sister back, and your mother's illness will be cured. There's no need to keep it closed. ”

Her tone was almost commanding, and she said it so bluntly.

Yu Mingzhi smiled, "Okay, when my father comes back tonight, I'll talk to him." ”

Old Madam Guo was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting her to agree so happily, and then said vigilantly: "Don't play any tricks." ”

Yu Mingzhi covered his mouth with a fan and chuckled, "Grandmother, what are you talking about?" ”

As soon as she said this, it was clear that Mrs. Guo didn't know the hearts of good people.

Old Madam Guo's face turned pale with anger, "You know it in your own heart!" ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "Yes, I will definitely ask my father as you say, but ......" she paused before continuing: "Whether I can achieve my grandmother's wish depends on my father." ”

"You?!" Mrs. Guo shouted, and the maids and ladies who followed her shook together.

Yu Mingzhi smiled calmly and looked at her.

Old Madam Guo was so angry that it took a long time for her to recover, and she shouted, "I knew you didn't have a good heart." ”

"Huh?" Yu Mingzhi looked innocent, "I said I would do what you said, where is the uneasiness and kindness?" Do you want your grandmother to point it out? ”

Mrs. Guo pressed her hand on her chest, and she didn't see this girl becoming more and more clever for a while.

She couldn't suppress the resentment in her heart any longer, and stared at Yu Mingzhi with disgust and hatred, "The real disaster of our Guo family should be you, look at what day after you return to the Guo family, which day will not be a chicken flying and a dog jumping?" You have been wandering outside for many years, and it is difficult to say that you are innocent, and you still dare to covet the marriage with the Qin Sheren? Your sister Baoyun doesn't know how much better than you, you are the difference between one in the sky and one in the earth! But you actually hurt your mother and sister to such a miserable situation, not only do you have no remorse, but now you are still laughing here and playing with your elders?! ”

This statement really reverses black and white, who doesn't know that the first to provoke the incident was the Yao family and Guo Baoyun who were retribution?

And this old lady Guo doesn't know the general situation, if the son hears it, does their Guo family want to continue to mix in the capital? Zhu'er couldn't listen anymore, and was about to stand up and say a few words, but Yu Mingzhi held down her arm.

"Does the old lady really think so?" Yu Mingzhi asked faintly.

Her expression made Mrs. Guo inexplicably shocked, and she barely calmed down and said: "I have lived for sixty years, can I still be wrong?!" ”

Yu Mingzhi smiled and instructed Jing'er at the door: "The old lady is tired, send her back to rest." ”

Old Mrs. Guo Huo Ran got up, "Are you trying to drive me away?" Is it going to be the other way around? ”

Yu Mingzhi tilted his head to look at her, "It's better for the old lady to rest." ”

Her voice was soft and light, so that she didn't feel any disgust, nor did she feel the slightest threat, but it made Mrs. Guo feel a little scary.

What is terrible, but I can't say.

Jing'er had already stepped forward to invite her.

Old Madam Guo snorted coldly and walked away.

Yu Mingzhi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "It's all here, it's useless to explain to her." Anyway, it will be the wedding day in a few days, so you don't have to worry about these worries. ”

Zhu'er calmed down and nodded yes.

After sending off the old lady, Chengyun Courtyard was finally quiet again.

Yu Mingzhi walked to the door, lazy, and said with a smile: "At this moment, I'm really a little sleepy." ”

Zhu'er said: "I'm going to fetch a basin of hot water for Miss, you wash your face, change your clothes, and go to bed and lie down for a while, right?" I guess it will take an hour or two for Childe to come over. ”

"Okay." Yu Mingzhi was just about to turn around and go back, when there was another knock on the courtyard door.

Jing'er went and returned, standing outside the door, "Miss, there are people in the palace, it is the emperor and the queen who have rewarded a lot of things, saying that they are adding a dowry to Miss, go and take a look!" ”

Yu Mingzhi smiled bitterly: "It seems that you have to deal with the people in the palace before you can sleep." ”

She came to the front yard, and at this time, many people were gathering here to watch the excitement, and Guo Zeng's was also there. When she saw Yu Mingzhi, she waved warmly, her face full of smiles, as if they had known each other for many years.

"I've sent someone to inform your father. This is Gonggong Liu from the palace. ”

Yu Mingzhi greeted with a decent smile: "I'm tired of Gonggong Liu's run." ”

Zhu'er is familiar with the road and sends a heavy purse as a thank you gift.

Gonggong Liu bowed his waist slightly, and said respectfully to Yu Mingzhi: "The slave maid was ordered by the emperor and the queen to give a gift to Miss Guo, which should be a dowry for you." This is a list, is Miss right and everything complete? ”

Zhu'er took the order and went to count it with someone.

Guo Zengshi said: "It's hard for Father-in-law Liu to run and go into the house to drink tea, right?" ”

"Thank you Second Mrs. Guo for your kindness, I understand." Gonggong Liu waved his hand, "The queen summoned Miss Guo and invited her into the palace to talk." So as soon as Miss Guo finished counting things, she had to go to the palace. The frame was waiting outside. ”

Yu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze from the eighteen boxes of gifts, "The queen summoned me?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Guo Zengshi looked at her with envy, and felt a little proud and happy in his heart.

Leaving Yao Xiuning behind, it is the right choice to have a good relationship with Guo Baozhi.

Even if she was used to seeing these treasures, she had never seen them so rare. Look at this Miss Guo, now she is loved by the emperor and queen, and she has a bright future in the future!

Then she will be able to straighten her waist and speak more in the Guo family, and she doesn't have to care about the old lady.

The more she thought about it, the more uncontrollable she showed a smug look, Yu Mingzhi saw it in her eyes, did not speak, and after Zhu'er checked the gift, she went out into the palace with Father-in-law Liu.

The queen lives in Fengxia Palace, the most magnificent and dignified place in the harem, there is a phoenix carved on the shadow wall at the door, the style is peerless, spread her wings, look up to the sky and sing, as if she wants to break through the wall and fly to the sky.

In front of the palace gate, there are many palace maids, hanging their heads slightly, looking very respectful.

Yu Mingzhi followed behind the palace people, and as soon as he walked up the steps, he heard a burst of laughter like silver bells coming from the hall.

This voice is a little familiar, she thought about it carefully, isn't it Zhao Shufei?

The queen doesn't like her, how can she be here?

With a little curiosity and vigilance, Yu Mingzhi stepped into the gate of the main hall of Fengxia Palace. (To be continued.) )
