Chapter 070: Revenge is not revenge, not a noble girl
"County Lord, Master Miaozhen's carriage has just entered the alley. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Mother Qu quietly came to the side of the county lord of Qinghe and whispered: "Grandma has already gone out, look-"
The county lord greeted several noble ladies with a smile, and when he heard this, his eyebrows and eyes did not move, only the smile lines on his lips deepened a little, and the tight string in his heart was loosened. Great, Master Myohin has finally arrived!
It's not that she suffers from gains and losses, but that the status of the master is precious, and she has not taken the initiative to participate in the banquet for several years, as if she is really like a monk, far away from the red dust.
Even if there is a gathering in the palace and King An's mansion, she doesn't show up easily.
If it weren't for the Queen Mother and the saints who continued to reward Jingyue Nunnery, the world would have almost forgotten the existence of Master Miaozhen.
Although Gu Jialuo was very sure that the master would come, and she also went to Jingyue Nunnery to send an invitation to the master in person, and got the old man's verbal promise, the county lord still couldn't really put his mind at ease before seeing the master come to the Qi family.
"A distinguished guest has arrived, I will go out to greet you, please forgive me for any neglect!" The county lord was slightly apologetic and owed a few noblewomen.
"Guest?"
The eyes of several noble ladies flashed, and there was no one else except for the distinguished guests who could make the county lord leave a room of guests and run out to greet them in person.
Miao Zhen is a princess and is no longer a princess, but no one dares to treat her as an ordinary 'nun'.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor made it very clear that Miao Zhen should be treated the same as the princess.
The princess arrives (especially the favored princess), as a court wife, she should be welcomed!
The ladies nodded their heads in understanding, and said very positively: "Since the nobles have arrived, according to the courtesy, we should also go out to greet us." β
The news in the flower hall spread quickly, and the county lord had not yet gone out, and the vast majority of people already knew about it.
echoed the words of the nobles, "Yes, yes, you can't snub the nobles!" β
Just kidding, what are they doing this time? Don't want to have a presence in front of the master?
The main master is here, why don't they hurry out and behave, but when?
The eldest princess is a senior and a royal noblewoman, she thinks that she has the most right to speak, and walked up to the county lord with a smile, and said: "The noble man is here, and I should go over and take a look at the old woman, I am old, and my legs and feet are not good, if I neglect the nobleman, it will not be good." In this way, Ning's and Yao's, you can go over with the county lord, so as to give your nobles a salute. β
As she spoke, the eldest princess gave Yao Xiruo a look.
Yao Xiruo was worried in his heart.
The eldest princess took advantage of everyone's inattention, called her to her side and said a few words-
"Miaozhen has always been proud, lonely, but also a rare kind person, she has been back in Beijing for several months, and the big and small things in Beijing can't be hidden from her ears and eyes, but she didn't say anything, obviously she has acquiesced."
"Healing and saving people is a matter of doing good and accumulating virtue, Miao Zhen knows, and he can only be happy, and he will never do anything that makes everyone shameless."
"Your mother-in-law is a fool, and you should only take her words as nonsense in a dream, don't take it to heart. When you see the master later, you can only salute respectfully and respect her everywhere. β
It didn't break it, but the meaning was clearly expressed in and out of the words.
Yao Xiruo took a deep breath, she hadn't looked down on the eldest princess much all along.
Hmph, it's just a vulgar village girl, if it weren't for a pair of good fathers and mothers, how could she have a good life as a prestige?
In my previous life, I even thought that the eldest princess was an unreasonable, vulgar and scoundrel old shrew.
But after hearing this, Yao Xiruo secretly admired in her heart, who said that the eldest princess only has a temper and no brains? Who said she was only arrogant and had no city?
In vain, she is a person who has lived two lifetimes, but she is not as good as an illiterate shrew princess in terms of heart.
Trying to calm his breathing, Yao Xiruo slowly raised his head, puffed up his chest, and gradually had a confident and indifferent light in his eyes.
bowed slightly at the eldest princess, saying that she would definitely behave well.
The eldest princess felt a little relieved in her heart, and at an angle that everyone couldn't see, she pulled down Ning's sleeve and handed her a fierce look.
Ning Shi shrank, originally wanted to say a few more words to the master, Ma can be good friends with the master, her Ning is no worse than Ma, and she should be able to have a relationship with the master.
But seeing her mother-in-law's cruel gaze, the spark that had just sprung up in Ning's heart was instantly extinguished by ice water.
has been the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess for more than 20 years, and others don't know it, but the Ning family is very aware of the means of this old thing.
Befriending the master is certainly a very face-saving thing, butγBut no matter how face-saving, you have to have a life to enjoy.γ
Ning didn't want to be too old, and he would be pressed by his mother-in-law to make rules, copy Buddhist scriptures, or simply be kicked out of the Qi family to go to Zhuangzi to recuperate.
Tearing the handkerchief hard, Ning was unwilling, but he still obediently came to the county lord's side, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'll accompany you to greet the nobles." β
The county lord raised her eyebrows, and she knew that the eldest princess would not let go of any opportunity easily.
The Qi family was divided, and the east and west lived their own lives, but in the eyes of outsiders, they couldn't escape the sentence 'one stroke can't write two Qi characters'. The cousins in the next room, that is also their own family, during the banquet, it is also the right thing to help greet the guests.
Even if the Ning family and the Yao family are too enthusiastic, others will not laugh at them, but will say that the Qi family is really a family of rules, brothers, friends, brothers
Smiling slightly, the county lord said, "Okay, let's go together." β
After that, the county lord did not delay any longer and walked out of the flower hall quickly.
The parrot and other maids hurriedly followed.
Ning, Yao Xiruo, and many noblewomen also walked towards the Hanging Flower Gate together.
For a while, the flower hall that had just returned to the clothes and temples and flowers suddenly became empty.
The eldest princess glanced at the hall where only the maids and servants remained, and a gloom flashed in her eyes: when her father and brother were alive, she was even more beautiful and respected than Miaozhen, a 'fake princess'.
But now...... Alas, it's really feng shui in turns, once upon a time, a royal wild species actually relied on the emperor's favor and surpassed the real dragon son and phoenix grandson.
The reason for this is just the word 'power'!
The eldest princess was stunned in her heart, and slowly walked to the Luohan bed at the top of the main hall and sat down.
"ThisβThis is the charm of power?"
Xu Ai stood in the flower hall in a daze, and the ladies who were still rich and calm were now because of a 'nobleman', and immediately abandoned their reserve and ran out with great eagerness.
No wonder the owner wants to succeed so much!
Xu Ai clenched his fists, looked at the direction where everyone disappeared, and secretly made up his mind.
β¦β¦
Master Miao Zhen said that he had come to enjoy the flowers, but he did not stay at the Qi house for more than two quarters of an hour.
Surrounded by everyone and entering the flower hall, the master respectfully saluted the eldest princess - the eldest princess was stripped of her title as a princess, but she was still the most senior person in the clan, and even Miaozhen wanted to call her 'aunt'.
"The master is so favored, but he still remembers the rules and does not forget the etiquette, no wonder the queen mother and the saint have a lot of favor and care for her."
Everyone saw this scene in their eyes and praised it in their hearts.
Although the eldest princess is of high seniority, the royal family is the least disciplined place.
The king was defeated, the eldest princess was on the wrong side back then, and offended the queen mother's mother and son, even if she was the only surviving daughter of Gaozu and Empress Zhenlie?
Hasn't he been cut off his title and taken back all the benefits of the princess's mansion?
The princess without the grace of the saint is simply a phoenix on the shelf, and everyone is kind if they don't take the opportunity to step on it.
But people are wonderful, tsk, not pampered and arrogant, which is extremely rare in the royal family.
Even the eldest princess who couldn't look down on Miaozhen's background, couldn't help but nod secretly: Good cultivation!
When the first emperor was in power, Xiao Ye, who was still the prince, was not favored, Miao Zhen was a firm princeling, and he was bullied with Xiao Ye in the palace, and he married for the first time, but also to help the prince Xiao Ye's courtiers.
Many people don't understand why the Queen Mother and Xiao Ye love Miao Zhen so much, but the eldest princess vaguely knows some inside information.
supported each other in adversity, sacrificed their lifelong happiness for Xiao Ye, and even avoided disasters for Xiao Ye...... How can this kind of friendship be easily disappointed?
However, when Xiao Ye successfully ascended the throne and sat firmly in the country, Miaozhen quietly retreated, which made Xiao Ye's mother and son feel even more sorry and wanted to compensate her doubly.
β¦β¦ Alas, it's a pity, if King An and Miao Zhen could have stood on the side of King Shu back then, maybe Daqi would not be what it is now.
The eldest princess sighed silently.
Except for the eldest princess, everyone at the scene was very happy.
The county lord and Gu Jialuo accompanied the master on the left and right, and the other noblewomen were surrounded by stars and moons.
Yao Xiruo repeated what the eldest princess said to her, and finally mustered up the courage to come to the master, and Ying Ying bowed: "Xiruo has seen the master." β
Miaozhen narrowed her eyes, hiding the light under her eyes, "Oh, it's you." I haven't seen each other for a few years, but it's getting better and better. How is your father? How is your mother? β
The attitude is very kind, but the meaning expressed in the words is intriguing.
Yao Xiruo's face flashed with an ugly look, and he said with a little embarrassment: "I, my father has already gone." Mother is fine. β
None of the people present were stupid, and after listening to this simple conversation, they vaguely guessed something.
Yao Xiruo claims to be Master Miaozhen's beloved apprentice, but why is the master so polite to her?
Being polite is not always a good thing, it represents 'alienation'.
If Master Miaozhen is really Yao Xiruo's master, then she should also be very close to the Yao family.
Even if the master is impatient to come into contact with unrelated people, if something big happens to the disciple's family, she should know about it.
However, Yao Xiruo's father died three years ago, and Master Miaozhen still greeted him 'politely' when they met.
Gee...... The inside story is self-evident!
Miao Zhen was stunned, and immediately showed an apologetic expression, and sighed: "It's a pity, Lord Yao is a rare good official." β
Yao Xiruo didn't know how to answer.
Miao Zhen said again: "You are also a good boy, I have an acquaintance with your family, and it can be regarded as ape dung, if there is anything in the future, just come to Jingyue Nunnery to find me." β
"Thank you, Master."
Yao Xiruo replied, feeling that everyone's gaze on her was very intense, she gritted her teeth and said, "The master instructed the little girl in medical skills back then, and the little girl was very grateful......
Miao Zhen waved her hand disapprovingly, "No need to be polite, my medical skills are mediocre, and I haven't taught you much." Okay, I'm here to enjoy the flowers, so I won't say much about it. Xiang'erβ"
Miaozhen turned her head and said to Gu Jialuo with a smile: "What about the Wei Zi you said, I want to see if this flower is as rare as you said." β
Gu Jialuo hurriedly smiled and said, "Master rest assured, you will definitely be satisfied." β
Miao Zhen smiled, but a finger poked Gu Jialuo's forehead, "You monkey, you can talk, if that flower can't satisfy me, see how I clean you up." β
This seems to be a little unkind to say, but in the ears of everyone, they have a different idea.
Everyone looked at each other left and right, and exchanged clear glances with the acquaintances close to each other: it seems that the master is willing to deign to come to the Qi family, and it is all the face of the Gu family!
Listening to the master's tone, it seems that he is very familiar with Grandma Gu.
"Ouch, master, people kindly invited you to enjoy the flowers, but you ......"
Gu Jialuo knew that Miaozhen was deliberately saving face for her, she was full of gratitude, reached out to hold Miaozhen's arm, and pretended to be aggrieved and said joking.
Miao Zhen seemed to like Gu Jialuo's closeness, smiled more and more sincerely, patted the back of her hand, and walked with her towards the Qi family's conservatory.
Everyone echoed and laughed for a while.
The large army followed Miao Zhenqi and moved to the conservatory, Ning looked at the county lord in front of him, and then looked at Yao Xiruo, who had a gloomy face, twisted his veil, and finally followed everyone.
"......" Yao Xiruo has seen Miaozhen and has also learned health preservation techniques from her for a few days.
Although Miao Zhen was not very close to her at that time, it was also kind.
The eldest princess also said that Miao Zhen's temperament is quite kind, unless Yao Xiruo does evil in her name, she will not expose it in public.
Yao Xiruo also knew that Miao Zhen was open-minded for a long time, so he dared to use her as a banner that day.
But I never expected that Miaozhen would be so ruthless, although she didn't say anything, but she exposed Yao Xiruo's 'lie'.
What went wrong?
Could it be that Miao is really for Gu Jialuo?
But how did Gu Jialuo cast Miaozhen's eyes?
Could it be that Gu Qiong is threading the needle on the side?
But Gu Qiong is not a smart person, otherwise he would not be easily calculated by Qu Jin and Yang Qi in his previous life.
And in his previous life, Gu Jialuo didn't know Miaozhen at all!
The more Yao Xiruo thought about it, the more headache she felt, too many things deviated from the track of history, and this feeling of being completely out of control made her panic in her heart.
Yes, there is another unhappy person in the Qi family's flower-viewing banquet.
But the vast majority of people were very happy.
Miaozhen is not close to the county lord, but she also shows appreciation, which makes the county lord secretly happy, and Miaozhen's arrival makes her first step back into the social circle so dazzling and attention!
Not to mention Gu Jialuo, Miaozhen has not been in the Qi family for a long time, but from beginning to end, she has held Gu Jialuo's hand tightly, and the two seem to be intimate mother and daughter, oh no, it is a year-old friend.
Gu Qiong also gained a lot, although Miao Zhen was far less intimate to her than Gu Jialuo, but she showed the fact that Gu Qiong was her apprentice in public.
For a while, everyone's gaze towards Gu Qiong became different.
Yao Xiruo just claimed to be Miao Zhen's disciple at the beginning, and he was favored by the nobles in the palace. Of course, Yao Xiruo's miraculous medical skills played a very important role. But if she hadn't spread that 'news', she wouldn't have been qualified to enter the palace at all.
Gu Qiong is different, she is an apprentice recognized by the master. And Gu Qiong is still living in Jingyue Nunnery, and getting along with the master day and night is simply a 'building near the water'.
The noblewomen who had marriageable children and grandchildren in the family hurriedly dug out Gu Qiong's information: the concubine of the prince of Zhao Guo, the biological mother was the eldest maid in front of the original match, well, the background was lower. However, it is said that Grandma Gu takes great care of Gu Qiong.
Even the Feng family has a little bit of interest in this cheap niece.
Now there's another wonderful ...... Well, that's her!
Before the banquet was over, many housewives came to the Song family to inquire about Gu Qiong, and several of them even launched their sisters-in-law or excellent concubines.
Song secretly calculated and found that there were a few children who were quite good.
Gu Qiong's market rose several times in an instant.
And looking at this posture, it is estimated that it will not be long before she can be settled.
Song couldn't help but smile happily.
In addition, the in-laws of the Ma family, the Feng family, the Song Guogong Mansion, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and other Qi families also had the pleasure of talking a few words with Master Miaozhen.
Miaozhen was very polite to these families, especially when she saw the eldest aunt of the Feng family, there was an inexplicable look in her eyes, and her words were much closer.
This made the eldest aunt a little flattered, but fortunately, she was well-bred and knowledgeable, and kept her doubts in her heart, but her face had already returned to her former elegance and indifference.
Seeing this, Miao Zhen looked at her more and more, praising her as a 'good wife and mother'.
Miao Zhen is easy not to boast about.
The eyes of everyone who turned to the eldest aunt were full of envy.
The eldest aunt is still unfazed.
Mrs. Shou Chunbo watched in the crowd for a long time, and when she saw Gu Jialuo in the limelight, she seemed to hug a hot charcoal ball in her heart.
Seeing the county lord's red face, he regretted it even more.
Luckily, she still has her hole cards.
"Brother Ren's daughter-in-law, Grandma Gu is your sister-in-law, go over and say hello, and by the way, say hello to the master."
Shou Chunbo turned his head and said to Gu Lin beside him.
Gu Lin's face was vague and inexplicable, she and Gu Jialuo had not dealt with each other since childhood.
They are similar in age and look similar, and the two cousins are often compared together.
Sadly, before the age of twelve, Gu Jialuo was someone else's child, but Gu Lin was inferior to Gu Jialuo everywhere.
Especially the looks.
Because the two have a similar face, after Gu Jialuo's accident last year, Gu Lin felt that she was affected, and in order to retaliate, she also gave Gu Jialuo a little shade.
Gu Lin was very disgusted with this face - it was obviously similar facial features, but it looked so delicate and beautiful on Gu Jialuo's face, but it was much rougher on her Gu Lin's face.
But today, for the first time, Gu Lin felt fortunate because of this face.
Although she still hates Gu Jialuo, Gu Lin doesn't mind touching her cousin's light.
"Daughter-in-law, let's go."
Gu Lin raised her hand and brushed the hair on her sideburns, making sure that there was no problem with her makeup, and slowly walked through the crowd to Master Miaozhen and a few people.
She was very smart, she didn't talk to the master directly, but said to Gu Jialuo with a smile: "In the end, it is our family's fragrance, and these flowers and plants are good, look at these peonies, they are really well raised, the flowers are big and numerous, and they are clustered, and they feel rich and joyful when they look at it." β
Gu Jialuo raised her eyebrows, when did she become so close to Gu Lin. Gu Lin actually called her 'Xiang'er' in a numb manner?
Gu Jialuo quietly rubbed the goosebumps on his arm, and replied politely: "Eldest sister praises falsely, where will I raise any flowers, but it is the capable gardener in the family and the care of my mother that built this conservator." β
Gu Jialuo unconsciously drew her attention to the county lord of Qinghe, in her words, the county lord was the good mother-in-law who was reasonable and loving.
Sure enough, when Miao Zhen heard this, he glanced at the county lord and bowed his head lightly: "Qinghe has always been a kind-hearted, virtuous and virtuous woman. Xiang'er, you can be her daughter-in-law, but your blessing, you have to know and cherish the blessing, understand? β
Gu Jialuo nodded again and again, looking quite teachable.
Miao Zhen's temperament is a little naΓ―ve, and when she likes someone, she is pleasing to the eye.
Seeing her so well-behaved, it is not uncommon, she reached out and pinched her cheeks as tender as water tofu, Miao Zhen didn't say anything, but the love in her eyes couldn't deceive people.
"It seems that the master doesn't like Gu in general."
The ladies remained silent, and secretly wrote it down in their hearts.
"The flowers are appreciated, the tea is eaten, and I should say goodbye."
Miaozhen took Gu Jialuo's hand, slowly walked out of the greenhouse, looked at the sun, and said softly.
The county lord and Gu Jia Luo hurriedly stayed.
Miaozhen said: "I haven't been in Beijing for a long time, and there are still some trivial matters to deal with." Okay, I'm not an outsider, so I don't have to be so polite. β
The county lord and Gu Jialuo didn't say anything more, but only respectfully sent Miaozhen out.
The crowd followed.
Miaozhen waved his hand, "Everyone is here to enjoy the flowers, don't let me live up to this great spring day because I am alone, okay, let's go back, Xiang'er will send me!" β
"Yes, Master go slowly!"
The ladies all knew Miaozhen's temper, and they all paused and bowed in unison.
The county lord whispered a few words to Gu Jialuo.
Gu Jialuo nodded vigorously, and then personally sent Miaozhen and his party out of the courtyard.
Walking to the second gate, Miao Zhen seemed to remember something again, and said to Gu Lin: "It's easy to go back to Beijing, you can also go home and have a look." β
A flash of disappointment flashed in Gu Lin's eyes, but he still responded respectfully: "Yes!" β
Miao Zhen grabbed Gu Jialuo's hand and asked softly, "Do you really want to go to the southwest with Qi Da?" Is it bad to stay in Kyori? β
Gu Jialuo felt that Miaozhen cared about her from the bottom of her heart, and she was grateful, but she still said firmly: "I am one with the uncle's husband and wife, and he goes to work, and I should follow." β
After saying this, thinking of Miaozhen's various cares for her, Gu Jialuo said: "I, we will leave the day after tomorrow, and it may not be too late to go to Jingyue Nunnery to say goodbye to you...... Master, I hope you will cherish it! β
Miao Zhen smiled, with a faint glint in her eyes, "Okay, good boy, I also wish you a smooth journey in advance." β
For the sake of this child, she also wants to go to the palace to ask for a favor!
The Qi family's flower-viewing banquet ended successfully, except for a few people, it can be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
The county lord and Gu Jialuo were busy for most of the day, and they couldn't help but be a little tired, but they were happy in their hearts, and they were still very energetic to send off the guests one after another.
Others are okay, even if they have a thought, they will not leak out, only Yao Xiruo and Gu Lin, their intuition has lost a big ugly in front of people, they don't dare to hold a grudge against Miaozhen, but they put all the accounts on Gu Jialuo's head.
When he said goodbye, he looked at Gu Jialuo's gaze a little unkindly.
Gu Jialuo sneered in his heart, I haven't paid you back yet, you owe me, but you have made a temperament first. Well, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude!
