Chapter 116: A mountain is even higher

Coming out of the Xiao Mansion, thinking that a mansion that was originally full of laughter and laughter is now gloomy and miserable, Gu Qiluo is also concerned. She had told Aunt Xiang that she was going to hold a secret marriage with Xiao Jiangbei on the day of his burial, but she was strongly opposed by Aunt Xiang. It can be seen that although this woman has a low status, she has a benevolent heart, Gu Qiluo originally thought that her request would make her happy and moved, but she didn't expect Aunt Xiang to try her best to stop it, only saying that if Xiao Jiangbei Quanxia knew about it, she would definitely not agree. How cruel is it to let her, a girl in the prime of her youth, marry into the Xiao Mansion and be a widow? So Aunt Xiang said that she didn't agree with anything. In the end, seeing that Gu Qiluo was really stubborn, Aunt Xiang said that she wanted her to be calm for a few more days, and only said that after the end of the war with Northern Hungary, she would set up a mound for Xiao Jiangbei, if she didn't change her mind at that time, the Xiao family would comply with her request and solemnly welcome her into the Xiao family.

Aunt Xiang also knew that the prince of the Chengming Houfu went to the Gu family to propose marriage, so she felt that Gu Qiluo's decision at this time was just impulsive, and when she was really calm, her heart was no longer painful, and what girl was willing to make such a big sacrifice.

On the way from the carriage to Baiwei Pavilion, the crowd in the streets and alleys was hotly discussing the fact that the prince of the Chengming Marquis Mansion went to the Gu family to propose marriage, but in two or three days, this matter has been spreading. I only heard Gu Qiluo in the carriage smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "What kind of physique am I?" Since entering Beijing, he has been in the center of rumors, and to this day, there has been no stopping, it is really strange, I didn't feel that I still have such an eye-catching aura before. ”

"Girl, have faith in your charisma." Xinghua covered her lips and chuckled, and used Gu Qiluo's words to block her.

So the eldest girl was speechless.

The carriage arrived at the Baiwei Museum. Zeng Yuan heard the report, and hurriedly greeted him, and without waiting for Gu Qiluo to get out of the car, he whispered, "Girl." The prince of the Chengming Marquis Mansion is here. ”

"How did he end up here?" Gu Qiluo was surprised, so he heard Zeng Yuan whisper: "It was invited by Gongzi Yue, in addition to him, there are also Prince Ying's prince and several family sons, and two great Confucians in the world are with them." ”

The son-in-law's real name is Yue Youqin, and he is the only son of the Yue family in the court, and the Yue family is very close to the prince. Therefore, in recent years, it has been really beautiful among the imperial merchants. Yue Youqin is a good vassal and elegant, and he especially likes to make friends with noble children, and he is wealthy. The banquet of one hundred taels of silver per table in Baiwei Pavilion is really not in his eyes, and now he is a frequent visitor here.

Gu Qiluo didn't want to go in, but just smiled and said, "When the world is a great Confucian? I'm afraid that Zhong Chunfeng will not look down on him again, right? ”

Zeng Yuan smiled: "The girl really knows him, that is, there is no one in his eyes." Don't call him this arrogant man. I didn't fall into that situation back then. ”

Gu Qiluo is also very helpless at this point: Zhong Chunfeng is indeed a talented person who is talented and rich, but he is a little arrogant, Zeng Yuan once advised him to be more sleek, but he disdained it, and it was not him if he just said that, those talented young talents who were modest on the surface were all beaten into hypocrites by him.

Although no one is perfect, Zhong Chunfeng's shortcomings are really fatal. Fortunately, he is not in the officialdom, otherwise he still doesn't know what will happen to him. Gu Qiluo felt that maybe the heavens couldn't bear such a talented man dying young. That's why he fell to Sun Shan for various reasons, and he seemed to be disappointed in life. In fact, it saved him.

Fortunately, now Zhong Chunfeng is not worried about food and clothing in Baiwei Restaurant, writing scripts and listening to plays, and his life is also comfortable, so he rarely goes out to be cynical.

Zeng Yuan was talking to Gu Qiluo about Zhong Chunfeng's past here, when he heard a sudden shouting from the Baiwei Pavilion, Zeng Yuan was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Girl, I'll go in and see what happened." After finishing speaking, he hurried away, and after the apricot blossom here groaned slightly, he also reported to Gu Qiluo and got out of the car to follow up.

Gu Qiluo and Chunyu were sitting in the carriage, and they could only hear the occasional shouting and applause from the Baiwei Pavilion, but they didn't know what was going on, and Chunyu regretted not going to see the excitement. Gu Qiluo was originally a person with a strong gossip soul, but now that Xiao Jiangbei died in battle, she has no interest in these, although she has a trace of curiosity, she is far from scratching her heart like Chunyu.

After a long while, Zeng Yuan and Xinghua came out, waited for the carriage, and Gu Qiluo Fang asked, "What happened?" Has Zeng Yuan settled down? ”

Xinghua first instructed the coachman to catch the car, and then pursed his lips and smiled: "This Brother Zhong, he is really restless, but this time it's okay, but he finally has someone who can suppress him, although he makes people disgraced, but I think this is a good thing, I think his temperament will change in the future." ”

"Sister Xinghua said quickly, don't sell it." Chunyu listened more and more curiously, pulled Xinghua's sleeve and asked directly, only to hear Xinghua smile: "Speaking of which, Brother Zhong deserves it, at that time, the group of people from the Chengming Houfu were probably a little impatient waiting for the banquet, so they played the game of shooting, I don't know what the Chengming prince said, which caused everyone to cheer in unison, just let Brother Zhong hear it, he snorted coldly, and said a better one in a weird way outside the hall, girl, what kind of foundation does he have?" The first genius in Jiangnan, can the Hou Shizi of Chengming compare to him? It's just two big Confucians, it's good for them to do moral articles, and in terms of these little tricks, they are not Brother Zhong's opponents. However, Prince Ying refused to give up and fought with Brother Zhong in the ring, but Brother Zhong was unforgiving, and he couldn't raise his head to win the people at that table. The noise we heard was made by those people in amazement. ”

"I see." Gu Qiluo was angry and funny, shook his head and said, "Zeng Yuan just came out to say a few words to me, and he caused such a storm." And then what? Who do you say has put him down? Is there anyone else in the world who is better than him in these areas? ”

Xinghua said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the person who overwhelmed Brother Zhong is not small, but he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and Master Cheng Tongcheng, who was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of Officials at the beginning of this year." This Lord Cheng was born in a wealthy family in Northern Xinjiang, as if there were some important relatives in the family this time, so he came to Baiwei Hall to entertain, because he heard that a table of aristocratic children and two Confucians next to him made a Xiucai unable to raise his head, he was probably to maintain the face of the imperial court, and this was over, and Brother Zhong had a competition, Brother Zhong was willing to bow down and was ashamed. However, that Master Cheng was really open-minded, and he praised Brother Zhong very much, it was good that he didn't praise it, but with his praise, Brother Zhong's face turned green at that time, and he retreated in defeat. That Master Cheng also said that he would often come to Baiwei Pavilion to ask Brother Zhong for advice in the future, hahaha, the girl didn't see the scene at that time, he chased and shouted in the back, Brother Zhong ran into the backyard like a gust of wind and refused to come out, I really laughed to death. ”

"You little conscienceless, Zhong Chunfeng treats you well on weekdays, why do you still smile so happily when you see him suffering?" Gu Qiluo made up the scene at that time, and felt very funny, that Cheng Tong did this, if he was not an honest and honest person, he would definitely have a black belly, but he was proud of the spring breeze in the officialdom at a young age, and he was born in a rich family, so it seems that without cultivating honest and honest soil, this product must be a black belly, poor Zhong Chunfeng has always been unscrupulous in terms of talent and learning, this time he finally kicked the iron plate and was taught a hard lesson.

"Oh, Brother Zhong has no loss anyway, the slave thinks that this matter will be good for him in the future, so he is so happy." After Xinghua finished speaking with a smile, she heard Chunyu shake her head and say, "Who said that Brother Zhong has no loss?" He was the proudest, this time he lost face, and he probably couldn't eat for several days. ”

Xinghua smiled: "If you can't eat, you can't eat, anyway, I can see that he won't get fat if he eats much, and if he doesn't eat now, he won't lose weight if he thinks about it." To tell the truth, it is fortunate that this Lord Cheng came forward, otherwise so many noble children, once they become angry, who knows what they can do? Brother Zhong was quick to speak for a while, he was happy, but he didn't know how many black hands and black bricks he would suffer in the future, and now Cheng Tong was so sideways, which could be regarded as helping those noble children to get angry, so that although he was temporarily embarrassed, there would be no danger in the future. ”

Gu Qiluo smiled and said, "That's the truth. After speaking, she suddenly remembered what Xinghua said just now, so she asked solemnly: "You just said that Prince Ying is also here?" ”

"yes."

Xinghua understood why the girl asked this, when Atom Fei was arrogant with the unknown forces behind him, Gu Qiluo also asked Xiao Jiangbei who was in the family who went to Northern Xinjiang to train, and the highest status was this Prince Ying's son, and the house where Atom Fei lived that day was finally found to be a mansion in charge of Prince Ying's Mansion outside, so even if there was no way to investigate further, they also knew that Atom Fei's matter was inseparable from Prince Ying's son.

"Girl, do you think it will be the prince of Ying who instructed the prince of the Chengming Mansion to come to the door to propose marriage? In order to humiliate the second master? Xinghua asked in a deep voice, and before the words fell, she heard Chunyu shout: "What? So vicious? In the end, the second master didn't treat them well, but he just overshadowed their reputation, they themselves were not angry, and they couldn't let those northern girls like it, so they spread rumors. Now that the second master has just died in battle, they still have to step on it, aren't they afraid of being thundered by the sky? ”

Gu Qiluo also shook his head and said, "If you say that jealousy and hatred give rise to hatred, there will definitely be." But because of this, I think Prince Ying is not able to make Prince Chengming obey his orders, there must be other reasons, but we don't know now. ”

Gu Qiluo didn't know that after her carriage disappeared at the end of the alley, a gaze that had always followed Fang retracted. (To be continued......)

PS: Hahaha, I suddenly feel that I like Cheng Tong with a black belly very much.
