368. in the first place
Yu Qiufeng looked at the sky outside through the window lattice covered with a thin layer of peach blossom paper, the clouds in the sky were very low, not as clear as the previous days, but there was a feeling that the mountain rain was coming, and there was some worry in his heart, Shen Shuofeng and Miss Xia didn't know where they were at this time, saying that it was snowing heavily in Youzhou, so they were okay now?
Xie Feiyun talked for a long time, but saw that she had been silent, thinking that she was not energetic, so she stopped the topic: "...... Since you are sick, I will go back first, and I will come to see you another day," she said, got up to say goodbye, Yu Qiufeng also stood up, she hurriedly stopped: "No need to send it, you are still sick, I heard my mother say that this kind of rash is not windy, otherwise it will be even more difficult." ”
Yu Qiufeng watched Xie Feiyun out of the courtyard, raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and suddenly frowned.
The gloomy sky began to gradually drift snowflakes, the kind of snow with ice particles in the rain, cold on the face, and almost immediately turned into water, and slowly, the ground became wet.
Now March is almost over, and April is about to begin, but the weather is changing for no reason, which makes people have a vague bad premonition in their hearts.
……
In the Ningguo Mansion, Gu Manman knelt in front of Chang's tablet upright, holding three sticks of incense in his hand, kowtowing respectfully to incense, staring at the words on the tablet, and his delicate cheeks were full of sadness and remorse.
After all this time, she still couldn't accept that her mother had passed away.
Ruyan stood under the eaves of the corridor outside the ancestral hall, looking at the black tassels hanging from the white paper lanterns hanging on the eaves, she was slightly stunned, and heard Gu Manman shout inside: "Ruyan!" ”
She hurriedly raised her feet and went in, knelt in front of Chang's tablet, and asked sideways in a low voice, "What does Miss command?" ”
"Do you know where the prince has been today?" Gu Manman raised his eyes and looked at Ru Yan, and the deep in his eyes seemed to hide a pool of stagnant water that could suck people in.
Ru Yan lowered her eyes and replied: "The prince has never instructed the slave and maid when he went out, but the slave and maid have heard the prince say before, and today the prince of the Wang family seems to have made an appointment with the prince, presumably the prince went to the palace." ”
Gu Manman's brows narrowed slightly, his eyes stayed on Ru Yan's face, with a bit of scrutiny, and Ru Yan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: "When my brother comes back, the most important thing is you, is it that you instigated my brother behind my back, so that my brother will detain me at home, and I will not be allowed to go anywhere?" ”
Ruyan listened to Gu Manman's words with a strong sense of resentment, how dare she admit it? Hurriedly shook his head and said: "The prince thinks that the Qingye Palace is reckless after all, and it is inappropriate for a lady like you to have too close contact with them, so he will restrain you." ”
"Really?" Gu Manman got up slowly and stroked the wrinkles on his dress, "My brother is busy all day long, I don't know what he is busy with, he doesn't want to repay his mother's hatred, then it is only up to me, Ruyan, you are the big girl in my room, I don't avoid you about some things, you should know what I think in my heart, since you can contact the people of the Qingye Palace, it must be not difficult to bring them a letter." ”
Ru Yan was a little surprised in her heart, she didn't expect Gu Manman to be so impulsive, what could she do if she contacted the Qingye Palace? What the prince does not allow, even Gu Manman, can't please anything, let alone her.
She hurriedly persuaded: "Miss think twice, after all, this matter is the order of the prince, think about it, the prince is your biological brother, there is no one in the world who loves you more than the prince, you will never make a mistake when you listen to the prince, and another, the prince has instructed the slave and maid, let the slave and the maid serve you wholeheartedly, if you always have reckless dealings with those rivers and lakes, how can you make the prince feel embarrassed?" ”
"Hmph, I don't know what you're thinking?" Gu Manman suddenly grabbed Ruyan's hair and pressed her to the ground viciously, "You, one by one, you are thinking about how to hook my brother to take you into the house, you dare to take Qiao whatever I tell you, and I will let people enter the mansion and betray you after a while!" ”
The ground in the ancestral hall was cold, Ruyan was pressed to the ground, only felt that most of her body was extremely cold, but she couldn't push away the people on her body, she heard her scolding herself like this, she felt that she couldn't stand this ruthless young lady.
“…… If Miss insists on this, the slave and maid can't do it, but the slave and maid still have to persuade Miss, even if there is no slave and maid, the prince will not let you contact those rivers and lakes again. ”
The faint words entered Gu Manman's ears, making her can't help but grit her teeth, and dragged her to the outside of the ancestral hall, shouting loudly as she walked: "Someone!" Go outside the house and invite someone to come here, I won't sell this today, she doesn't know how good I am! ”
Among the subordinates, there was that clever one, and after listening to Gu Manman's orders, he immediately turned around and went to look for Gu Yi outside the mansion.
When Gu Yi got the letter and came back, he saw that the person Gu Manman had summoned had already entered the mansion, and he was about to lead Ruyan out of the mansion at this time, but he stopped him.
"Manman, what kind of temper are you doing?" Gu Yi looked at Gu Manman unhappily, since he returned home, his sister has been making trouble all day long, and the family is often jumped by her troubles, and even the people are terrified.
Gu Manman glared at Ruyan and said: "This lowly hoof is disrespectful and disobedient to my orders, if she is left in the mansion, then who else will listen to my words in the future?" It's better to sell it early, and it will save you from staining your eyes. ”
Ruyan hurriedly said: "The slave and maid are wronged, the prince has instructed the slave and maid to wait for the young lady and protect the safety of the young lady, the slave and the maid just don't want the young lady to encounter danger in the future, so they will ......."
Gu Yi waved her hand, signaling that she didn't have to continue, "You are loyal to the lord, I will reward you, you go down first," and then turned his head and asked people to send people out of the house, and said to Gu Manman: "You, come with me!" ”
Gu Manman was originally in a bad mood to take Ruyan out of anger, but when he saw Gu Yi saving Ruyan, he immediately held his breath, and waited for him to distribute it to him when no one was around, and when he heard him say this, he followed him into the study.
As soon as the door of the study was closed, Gu Yi scolded Gu Manman: "You are fifteen years old this year, not a doll of seven or eight years old, even if you are not happy, you can't be so temperamental!" Ruyan is the big girl in your room, you sold her for such a little thing, who else in your room will dare to be loyal to you in the future? ”
Gu Manman looked up at Gu Yi, the expression on his face was a little incredible, and he didn't want to reply without thinking: "Brother is blaming me for saying this?" Those maids in my room now only listen to you and not to me, what is the use of me coming to such maids? It's better to sell them all! She added angrily, "Also, brother, my mother's death is strange, you don't help my mother avenge, but you restrict me everywhere, you don't do anything, why don't you allow me to take revenge?" What is the rationale for this? ”
Seeing that Gu Manman's eyes were almost red, Gu Yi was extremely helpless, and under her questioning, he frowned and said: "I said early on that I would avenge my mother's hatred, otherwise what are you doing with me these days?" Look ahead, in a few days, there will be a chance for revenge in front of us. ”
