Chapter 14: Discontent
"My aunt has won the prize." Guo Baoyun smiled shyly and saluted.
Yu Mingzhi looked at them, pretending to understand the deep meaning on his face, and he was too lazy to deal with it, and was about to find an excuse to go back, only to hear the loud voice of Guo Chengjia, the steward outside: "Madam, Miss, the master instructed the slave and maid to pass the word." ”
Yao's heart "chuckled", and said calmly: "Come in." ”
Guo Cheng's figure is slightly fat, smiling, and his demeanor looks very kind, and he stands in the center of the flower hall, although he is respectful, but he is more imposing than ordinary slaves. When several relatives of the Guo family saw her coming, they couldn't help but put down the tea cup and listen to what she said.
"Do you have any commands?" Only Yao Shi took a sip of flower tea slowly and asked.
Guo Cheng's family bowed slightly, "Madam, the lord said that the eldest lady has just returned home for two days, and he called the doctor to check the pulse of peace and see if there is anything that needs to be regulated, so please go back to Chengyun Courtyard to rest early." ”
This Guo Chang, I told them last night, what did I do to prevent them from doing today? Yao shook the fan helplessly on the surface, but said regretfully: "We are chatting about Xingtou." ”
Qu Wenjing and Wen Ying, two sisters, stepped forward, grabbed Yu Mingzhi from left to right, and held her arm to look very intimate. Qu Wenjing asked, "What books does my eldest cousin read on weekdays?" Like what? Let's play together in the future. ”
Yu Mingzhi said: "I'm afraid it will take some effort to count them one by one, and ask the doctor to wait a lot." Anyway, it's a long time coming, so let's play together next time, okay? She is smiling, talking calmly, without the slightest bit of childishness, like a well-educated lady.
Guo Cheng's family said: "Yes, the doctor is already waiting at the gate of Chengyun Courtyard." ”
Yu Mingzhi took out his arm from the hands of the Qu sisters, turned around and apologized to the Yao family, "Mother, I'm sorry, Baozhi is a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first." Aunts, aunts, aunts and sisters have a good time, and Baozhi will definitely accompany them wholeheartedly next time. ”
Yao waved his hand and said, "The most important thing is to have a good rest, when is it difficult to say?" If you feel better, be sure to come to dinner in the evening. ”
"Yes, mother." Yu Mingzhi saluted and left with Guo Cheng's family.
As soon as Yu Mingzhi left, Guo Long didn't sit for long, saying that he would go back to his shop to take care of the business, and left quickly. They were missing from the flower hall, making the content of the conversation no longer subtle.
Guo Zengshi sat up straight and first said, "I don't want to say it, I make it clear that I haven't read and can't read, and I'm afraid of losing face in front of everyone." Looking at it, it is still only our Baoyun who is the most suitable to marry Qin Sheren, what does the eldest brother think? If you want that kind of goods to embarrass our Guo family. ”
Qu Yao and Yao Liang followed.
Guo Baoyun stomped her feet and said shyly: "Auntie, don't say it." ”
Yao made fun of her, "Who said that she wanted to be a female general who went into battle to kill the enemy?" Does this make you blush and be shy? ”
Qu Yao said: "Baoyun is shy and has a girl's family. I look at Guo Baozhi, just like her shameless mother, eighty percent of them used some kind of means to seduce the Qin Sheren. ”
Guo Zengshi snorted coldly: "Damn little hooves." Sister-in-law, you have to persuade your eldest brother. ”
The gloomy clouds stained Yao's eyebrows, and he sighed several times, "What's the use of just talking about it, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup I poured in." As she spoke, she rubbed her eyebrows, looking very headache, "I do everything for the good of the Guo family, but unfortunately some people don't understand, Baozhi should have a more suitable husband." ”
Guo Zengshi stepped forward, pressed Yao's shoulder and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, isn't the old lady coming back soon?" ”
Yao said: "It's so easy to persuade." ”
Guo Zengshi comforted softly: "We will help you persuade the old lady together." The old lady loves Baoyun the most, and the eldest brother is also the most filial to the old lady, so she will definitely make this happy event come to a conclusion. ”
"yes." Qu Yao followed and comforted, "The old lady is sensible, and she will definitely not let this matter come to fruition." ”
"But ......," Yao Liang suddenly said, "Why did the Guo family suddenly have a marriage contract with the Qin family?" Why haven't you ever heard Xiuning mention it before? ”
Yao replied: "It is said that when they were in their hometown in the past, the two families had contacts, so they agreed to marry the baby." Now that the Qin Sheren have settled down in the court, he began to think about marriage, he is a person who values his promises, so he naturally found our Guo family. I heard that Baozhi has been missing for many years, and I took the initiative to look for it...... "Her hand holding the fan almost broke the handle, and the situation when Guo Baozhi was lost is still hard to forget after so many years."
In the past two days, Qin Sheren has not mentioned anything, but Guo Chang is a little abnormal. Could it be true that the truth of the year was discovered?
Yao took a deep breath, calmed down, and felt that there was no need to scare himself.
What happened back then could never be found out.
"Didn't you think about us Baoyun?" Yao Liang opened his mouth to bring her back to her senses.
"I've met once or twice, but I may think that Baoyun is too young."
"Hmph," Qu Yao took Guo Baoyun's hand again, and touched the goose egg face with pity, "Our Baoyun is now a good age like a flower and jade, and we don't know how to cherish it, and we prefer that kind of thick branches and rotten leaves." ”
Hearing this, Guo Zeng's eyes flashed with a complicated color, and he glanced at Yao Shi dissatisfiedly, and secretly clenched his hands, and the palms of his finely trimmed nails were a little painful. She looked at her sixteen-year-old daughter Guo Baofen again, and her heart was suddenly full of resentment and unwillingness.
It's a pity that she and her husband Guo Yun completely rely on Guo Chang to have a good life, how dare they choke in front of Yao.
Qu Yao and Yao Liang began to give Yao an idea, how to persuade the old lady to be the best, Guo Zeng's rare did not interject a few words, causing Yao to glance at it lightly, but he didn't take it to heart.
The conspiracy in the flower hall will not affect Chengyun Courtyard in the slightest.
After checking the pulse, the doctor prescribed a prescription to condition the body and left. Yu Mingzhi leaned on the chaise longue by the window, eating the peeled and cut fruit of the spring peach, and looking at the birds jumping and singing on the branches.
She seemed to be at ease, but she was so preoccupied that she didn't notice a figure flashing in front of the window.
Until the warm voice came into my ears-
"Twigs."
