Chapter 115: Gift (2)

"Ruo'er has a heart,"

Song glanced at the pots of flowers, sighed lightly, and praised casually: "What a beautiful flower, this color, this flower shape, is a bit like a warbler." It's just that I remember that this flower didn't bloom at this time, right? ”

In fact, in the north of Daqi, the only thing that really blooms in accordance with the season is plum blossoms.

The other flowers are basically specially cultivated in the greenhouses of aristocratic families.

This warbler corn is not a rare thing, because the color is good-looking, the flower shape is beautiful, and it is not worldly, many powerful people have raised it.

It's just that it can be raised so well in the wax moon, and it is transported from the southwest for thousands of miles, and after arriving in the capital, the flowers can still bloom proudly, which is a bit rare.

That's why the Song family will say that Yao Xiruo 'has a heart'.

"Hehe, it's not worth anything, Ruo'er's child said, compared to her uncle and sister-in-law, you are good to her, and you should send any precious and good things, but ...... Alas, now she only has these few pots of flowers that can be difficult to sell. ”

Gu Jialuo said with a little pride and relief at the beginning, but in the second half of the sentence, there was already a faint worry in his words.

She wasn't pretending in front of the Song family, she was really worried about her daughter.

In that kind of place in the southwest, when Gu Jialuo went back then, the Gu and Qi families secretly didn't know how much they had done, and the guards on the bright side brought two hundred, and the maid and the woman and other entourages were even selected and selected, and even got a doctor who accompanied them.

In this way, Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo were also in trouble on the road, and I heard that they also encountered robbers.

Gu Zeyuan is a typical noble daughter of a family. It's not all about the news out there. Today's southwest is far more chaotic than when Qi Jinzhi took office, and the rogue and rebellious soldiers are causing trouble everywhere. The normal post roads of the imperial court could not operate normally, which shows that it is dangerous.

Yao Xiruo and the others went on the road alone, and there was not even a escort by their side.

When Dongqi was convicted, Gu Zeyuan wanted to pick up her daughter, but her daughter refused.

Later, if Yao Xi wanted to go to the southwest with him, Gu Zeyuan was taken aback and tried his best to dissuade him. But her daughter seemed to be confused, and she actually recognized Qi Mianzhi and wanted to go with him.

Gu Zeyuan was anxious and angry. After trying to dissuade him to no avail, he had to run back to his parents' house and ask his father and brother for help.

Gu Zeyuan is the eldest daughter of the previous generation of the Gu family, and she is the most noble, and her parents and brother also love her very much. Especially after her husband died of illness. The Gu family pitied her even more.

He even loves the house and the black. She also loves her children very much.

Although Yao Xiruo himself felt that the Gu family was under the fence, in fact, anyone with eyes could see that the Gu family would definitely treat Yao Xiruo the same as a serious Miss Gu family.

Of course, compared to Gu Jialuo, it is still one meter shorter, but there is also a reason, who made Gu Jialuo's father a son, his biological mother died early, and his uncle was prominent.

In fact, in the Gu family, Yao Xiruo's food and clothing are the same as those of concubines like Gu Lin and Gu Yao.

It's a pity that Yao Xiruo's eyes are only staring at Gu Jialuo. Compared with her, he deliberately ignored the other cousins.

Yao Xiruo couldn't recognize these clearly. Gu Zeyuan knew it well, she knew very well that her mother's father and brother cared for their mother and son.

Gu Zeyuan thought that her father and brother must be the same as her, and they couldn't bear to watch Ruo'er suffer hardships. Maybe she cried and begged, and her father and brother could come up with a way to keep Ruo'er in the capital.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Ruo'er is destined to go to the southwest, for the sake of their mother and daughter, the father and brother are very likely to deploy some people to escort Ruo'er to Shuixi.

However, to Gu Zeyuan's surprise, her father and brother listened to her request, and Qi Qi was silent for a long time, and then his father spoke: "If you want to go, let her go." Married to her husband, since Qi Mianzhi is going to Shuixi, as a wife, Ruo'er should follow. ”

There was no room for manoeuvre.

Gu Zeyuan's heart suddenly cooled. Then she set her eyes on her eldest son.

But Gu Ze'an actually echoed and said, "That's right, didn't Xiang'er also follow Aunt Qi to Wusa." It is a good thing if you are willing to make up your mind to follow your husband! ”

In this way, it can also wash away the stigma that was poured on Yao Xiruo in the past few months.

Gu Ze'an said very objectively, and he also hoped from the bottom of his heart that his niece would be well.

After all, in Daqi, reputation is too important for a woman. Once the stain is stained, it is very difficult to wash it.

Thinking of his daughter, Gu Ze'an more and more agreed with Yao Xiruo's decision.

But his words and deeds fell in Gu Zeyuan's eyes, but he became cold, selfish, and unsaved.

Gu Zeyuan couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with her father and brother.

However, she understands her situation, now that their mother and son have no one to support the faΓ§ade, it is easy for a prominent in-law to fall, and the only thing they can rely on now is the Gu family.

endured the complaints in her heart, Gu Zeyuan put forward the request of 'borrowing soldiers' with pleading eyes.

The Gu family has the Liaodong camp in their hands, and there are hundreds of 'family members' in the family, and it is not difficult for the Gu family to draw out one or two hundred people.

Father and eldest brother have already rejected her once, so it's not good to refuse twice in a row, right?

But the truth is so cruel, Gu Chong and Gu Ze'an rejected Gu Zeyuan's request again, the reasons are ready-made, "The saint is willing to bypass Qi Qinzhi and Qi Mianzhi is already an extrajudicial grace, and it must not be too ostentatious, otherwise-" The sacred heart is unpredictable.

Dongqi is a proper anti-thief, and the saint looked at the face of the grandfather and the queen mother, and successively pardoned Qi Qinzhi and Qi Mianzhi, which is already very rare.

Qi Qinzhi is just holding their tails and acting in a low-key manner, once they have any conspicuous words and deeds that poke the lungs of the saint, when the time comes, it may not be what the end will be.

Well, as soon as the saint in front of him was gracious, the Gu family did not hesitate to 'lend soldiers' to the Qi brothers, and let them go to Shuixi with a swagger, which is too arrogant.

If the Gu family really did this, the saint would not only see the Qi brothers as an eyesore, but also annoy the Gu family...... Cut, such a foolish thing that is not profitable. Gu Chonggu Old Fox wouldn't do it.

It is a capital crime to conspire against the Eastern Qi, and those who are lucky enough to be spared punishment should be miserable, so that they will not be eye-catching. In order to survive.

Gu Chong did this definitely for the good of the Qi family brothers and his granddaughter.

Gu Zeyuan is a woman, her knowledge is limited after all, so she naturally can't think of this level, so when she saw her father and brother being so ruthless, she didn't say anything, but she hated her mother's family in her heart.

So. This time, Yao Xiruo asked her to come to the Song family to 'give gifts', and she agreed without thinking about it.

Although I don't know what's wrong with this warbler, my daughter has repeatedly told her in the letter. asked her not to touch her hands, Gu Zeyuan faintly guessed.

Poison, this must be poison that harms people!

Realizing this, Gu Zeyuan went through a short period of fear and uneasiness. It didn't take long to calm down. After thinking about it all night, she still ordered someone to carry the flower pot back to her parents' house - if the father and brother saw death and didn't save them, don't blame their mother and daughter for using some means!

Gu Zeyuan also had a careful thought, her daughter should have harmed the Song family this time, and the Song family was just Gu Zeyuan's sister-in-law, and she was not a real blood relative. It's good to let the Song family suffer some hardships, and the right to give her mother's family a wake-up call!

Therefore, Gu Zeyuan had a bit of expectation and apprehension in her heart. He looked at Song.

Song didn't take a few pots of flowers to heart, and praised them casually. He glanced at the maid beside him.

The maid understood, and took a few second-class maids to take the flower.

Song said with a smile: "Say thank you to Ruo'er for me, it's hard for her to remember my aunt from afar." ”

Gu Zeyuan's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she said with a smile: "Oh, just a few pots of flowers, sister-in-law is willing to accept it, Ruo'er is already very happy, where can she still afford to thank her sister-in-law......

The two sisters-in-law said a few words without being salty, and Gu Zeyuan took the time to find an excuse to say goodbye and leave.

In the following days, Gu Zeyuan ran to her mother's house when she had nothing to do, and after seeing her mother-in-law, she went to see her sister-in-law, until she saw a few pots of warblers and corns in the upper room, and she would leave satisfied.

The Song family couldn't help but be a little strange, what happened to this person? Isn't it just a few pots of flowers sent by her daughter, as for the 'reminder' every time?

On this day, Gu Qiong personally came to give the New Year's gift, and specially went to her mother's room to say goodbye, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a few pots of flowers on the table in the hall.

She frowned slightly, and thought for a long time before she suddenly remembered, "This, this seems to be a warbler, right?" ”

The maid who led the way hurriedly replied: "So that the third aunt and grandmother know that this is the warbler corn sent by Miss Biao from Shuixi, saying that it is specially for Mrs. to enjoy." ”

"Yao Xiruo ordered someone to send it?"

Gu Qiong was just a little puzzled, when she heard that this matter was related to the 'enemy', the alarm bell rang in her heart, and when she remembered what her sister had explained in her letter, a thought flashed quickly in her mind.

After seeing the Song family, Gu Qiong first greeted him according to the rules, presented the gift list, and then asked about the pots of flowers as if casually.

Song's answer was similar to that of the maid.

Seeing Gu Qiongte ask about this, when Gu Qiong fell in love with the flower, he said with a smile: "If you like it, bring two pots and raise them in the main house when you go back." You also burned the earth dragon there, so it shouldn't freeze this flower. ”

Gu Qiong didn't accept the things happily as usual, and then thanked them gratefully, but bit her lower lip and stopped talking with a face.

Song's eyes flickered, and then he waved his hand at the personal maid.

The maid was obedient, and immediately led the maids in the room to retreat.

Gu Qiong saw that there were only two of them left in the room, mother and daughter, so she leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Mother, this flower is strange. My sister wrote me a letter that said......"

The charcoal in the charcoal basin was burning vigorously, making a beeping sound, and the room was warm.

And there were already fine snowflakes floating outside, which were not big, but they added a lot of inconvenience to the people who were in a hurry.

"There is the mountain gate ahead, brothers work hard, send the New Year's gift early, let's enter the city before dark!"

On the winding mountain road, several carriages were struggling to move, and the leader was a man in his thirties, who shouted vigorously despite the snowflakes that flew on his face and body.

"Whew~"

Fortunately, the people who drove the car were all family guards, disciplined, and obedient, so they were not disturbed by the bad weather, but waved their whips with high morale and drove the horses forward.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way of Lao Tzu!"

Just as the convoy walked out of the mountain road and reached the mountain gate, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the man who took the lead shouted loudly while galloping his horse.

Let?

The trail is so wide that it allows a horse-drawn carriage to pass through GuΓ², and the mountain road is so slippery and snowy that it would be difficult for a carriage to get out of the way quickly through the junction.

No matter how the people behind shouted, the convoy in front of it continued to move slowly on the road until the last car exited the intersection.

"Straight mother, your ears are stuffed with donkey hair, I didn't hear Lao Tzu's words!"

The man behind him urgently pulled the reins, and the horse under his crotch screamed and turned around in place several times before he could barely stand firm. The rider became angry and scolded loudly.

But the people in the convoy didn't seem to hear it, and continued to hurry forward without looking back.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hey, I'm still competing with Lao Tzu, I-"

The leading rider was so angry that he raised his whip and wanted to rush forward. Straight mother, he wants to smoke those deaf all over his face.

"Stop, third child, open your eyes and take a good look, whose convoy is in front?"

Several riders behind also pulled the reins, and one of the older ones whispered, "See, it's the Qi family's carriage!" Qi family! ”

"Qi, Qi?"

The leading rider's high anger was suddenly extinguished, and the arrogance on his face was also subdued a lot, and he muttered in a curtled voice: "What's wrong with the Qi family, we are still from the Tao family." ”

He didn't have the confidence to say this.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how the Qi family declines, it is by no means comparable to the Tao family, a small official in the capital.

Strictly speaking, these riders cannot be regarded as the servants of the Tao family, but the personal guards rewarded by Master Miaozhen to Tao Qi, and their salaries are still paid by Jingyue Nunnery, which has nothing to do with the Tao family's sincerity.

But nominally, a few of them are still Tao Qi's guards, even if Tao Qi is not favored by Master Miaozhen now, before they get a new appointment, they still have to obey Tao Qi's orders and come to Jingyue Nunnery to give the master a New Year's gift.

"In the end, someone came first, let's wait."

Several riders sighed, rubbed their frozen faces vigorously, and silently sat behind several carriages.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So that the master knows that our uncle and grandmother are all right, and the Wumeng side is also stable, and the grandmother also invites several wealthy ladies in the city to eat tea and chat together...... It has spread in the market, and it is said that Gu Yuren, oh no, it should be called Gu Yiren now, hehe, those people all say that Gu Yiren is the virtuous helper of Lord Qi, and he is a mighty and domineering female ......husband."

The leader of the convoy knelt down at the foot of the hall, presented the gift list, and began to talk about the recent situation of Qi Jinzhi and his wife (with emphasis on Gu Jialuo), and his words were full of praise, and only praised Gu Jialuo as a model in the biography of the daughters.

Master Miaozhen listened to it with relish, especially when he heard that Gu Jialuo went to the city gate in person and knocked out the handsome banner of King Xiaoliang with one arrow, he couldn't help but high-five him again and again, "Okay, beautiful, mighty, domineering, haha~" (To be continued......)
