Chapter 62: Eating Deflated (Three More Seeking Pink)
Gu Mingyang groaned: "My son has a point. Anyway, I'll keep the amber in the woodroom, and I'll find out where the wood came from. ”
Mrs. Lu said on the side: "Dongyun travels south and north, he is an experienced man, master, why don't you let the concubine ask him?" Maybe he knows it. ”
Gu Mingyang was right to think about it, and was about to agree, when he heard Gu Qiluo smile and said: "Although my uncle has traveled from south to north, he is only engaged in tea and grain trading, so he may not be able to know this thing." Speaking of which, since this wood can keep my grandmother from sleeping, maybe it is some kind of chronic poison, but it is better to let the imperial doctor see it, they are the people who are most familiar with medicinal herbs and poisons. ”
Gu Mingyang's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "What Qiluo said is right, if this is the case, then you will hand over this wood to Jiangbei and ask him to ask the imperial doctor to identify it, but it really can't be done, let's think of another way." ”
Mrs. Lu is so angry, she originally came up with an idea in an instant, as long as this wood is in Lu Dongyun's hands, it will either be stolen or lost, why can't she think of a way to make it disappear? At that time, it will be said that it is a thousand-year-old agarwood, and no one can do anything about it. Amber was undoubtedly loyal because she had saved her in her early years, but she was not afraid of her confessing herself.
Who knew that it was done, but Gu Qiluo broke the game with a few words: If this thing really fell into the hands of Xiao Jiangbei, even if the imperial doctor couldn't recognize it, but that man had been fighting at the border for many years, and his eyesight was extraordinary, what if he recognized it? Or did he take it to ask others, especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how many capable people did he have? Although this wood is rare, it may not be unrecognizable.
There was anxiety and resentment in my heart. But she was helpless, watching Gu Mingyang hand over the wood to Gu Qiluo, Mrs. Lu's heart sank. I just feel that tonight is really the top of the moldy star cover, and even such a secret method has been cracked by this wild girl, if the old lady is sober, what if she has to maintain the original wedding date?
She was in a bad mood, so she stood up and said lightly: "Amber's girl actually did such a thing, it's really sad and angry, wait for the concubine to ask her tomorrow." But the master doesn't have to be anxious about this matter, you have to go to court tomorrow, so it's better to rest early. ”
Gu Mingyang nodded. Just as he was about to get up, he heard the timid voice of a little girl outside: "Master, wife, the slave has something to report." ”
Then the curtain was raised. A little girl walked in. At the door, he knelt down with a "plop", raised his hands above his head, and there was a string of beads in his hand, only to hear her tremble and say: "The old lady is ......."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Jinxiu jumped up on the chair next to him and shouted: "It turns out that this string of pearls was stolen by you,, you have made me so miserable." He shouted. The third girl went straight to the little girl, and kicked her to the ground.
Master Gu was simply stunned by his daughter's swift and wind-like skills of a female bandit in the rivers and lakes. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Gu Jinxiu was about to kick again, so he said with a calm face: "Why don't you go back and sit down?" Your mother and I are here, when will it be your turn to dispose of the next person? Can't we tell the difference between right and wrong? ”
Gu Jinxiu listened to her father's scolding, and didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, but her eyes stared at the little girl viciously like a cannibal, and the meaning was very clear: You weigh it for me, otherwise I won't be able to spare you.
It's just that how dare you "weigh" and say that she has seen the cruel methods of this third girl in You Pozi and Xiaohua Xiaocao today, knowing that she has wronged people, she still has to swell her face, if she "weighs" and says, I am afraid that tomorrow I will probably be broken by my wife and the vicious third girl.
So he turned his heart sideways, and said truthfully: "Back to the old lady, the slave maid picked up this string of beads from the grass outside the Spring Painting Courtyard, and the slave and maid were very happy at that time, and I just thought that the master fell there, and the slave and maid were greedy, so I thought that it was mine if I picked it up, so I ...... So stayed. But unexpectedly, today I saw that Mother You and Xiaohua Xiaocao were beaten for this string of beads, and the slave maid felt very guilty, it was obvious that the slave and maid were greedy for money, but they were wrongfully beaten and even might be thrown out, this is a matter of losing conscience, and the slave and maid can't bear to do it. So I thought it would be better to come to the old lady and make it clear that this was picked up by the slave and maid, not stolen by the slave and maid, and the old lady has always been generous, presumably she only punished the slave and the maid slightly, which is better than them being wrongfully accused of stealing. ”
Gu Jinxiu stood there, her face was like a dye shop, she was blue for a while, and when she saw Master Gu and Mrs. Lu's faces, she turned pale again, and muttered, "Dad...... Dad and mother don't believe this girl's nonsense, it's clear that she stole my beads, and I'm scared at this time, so I ......"
She didn't wait for her to finish speaking, but she heard Yu'er say categorically: "Master, the slave and maid are not stealing. Mrs. told Mother You and Xiaohua Xiaocao, only saying that they stole the beads and put them back secretly, she would not pursue them. If the slave and maid stole it, why did they come to the old lady to confess? The slave maid has always worked in the yard of the two aunts, and never went to the yard of the girls, otherwise the three girls would have taken the slave maid yesterday. Master, this thing is really picked up by the slave maid, if not, then the slave and maid will be hit five thunders in the sky, and there will be no place to bury them. Master, although the slave and maid were greedy for a while, the slave and maid are now repentant and willing to return the beads to the three girls, but the slave and maid will never bear the name of this thief. ”
Gu Jinxiu was so angry that she trembled, she had never been in the house, she relied on her parents' favor, and she said the same. Where did you think that now it is a bull, ghost, snake and god who has jumped out, and dares to point the finger at himself, this is all a good thing done by that wild woman, it is not that she and her mother are fighting for power, it is not that she is insidious and cunning, how could she fall into such a situation? Today's incident is clearly that she has set a trap for herself to get into.
But she finally had a trace of sanity, and she didn't say her "speculation" in front of her father, but just kept beating and cursing in her heart. Suddenly, Gu Mingyang said in a deep voice: "Okay, I know, you leave the bead string, since you also know that greed is wrong, then you will be fined a month's monthly money, so let's go down." ”
"Daddy......"
Gu Jinxiu struck a spirit, and understood that when Gu Mingyang said this, he believed Yu'er's words, so wouldn't the matter of throwing away the beads yesterday be revealed? Because of the urgency, I was about to object, so I heard Mrs. Lu say sharply: "Enough, you shut up for me." ”
Gu Jinxiu retreated indignantly, Linglong stepped forward to take the string of beads and handed it to Gu Mingyang, Master Gu looked down, and suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "It's really a top good bead, I haven't seen such a round and huge one for so many years." It's a pity, it's a pity for Kira's heart. ”
"Master, the third girl is ignorant, she has lived up to the sisterhood of the eldest girl, and the concubine will definitely teach her a hard lesson." Mrs. Lu was a little flustered, knowing that her husband was really disappointed in his daughter at the moment, and as she spoke, she glared at Gu Jinxiu fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "You still don't come forward to admit your mistake to your father?" ”
Gu Jinxiu was very reluctant in her heart, but she didn't dare to disobey her mother's order, so she walked over slowly, and was about to apologize, when she saw Gu Mingyang shake his hand and said, "That's it, what are you doing with me apologizing?" She's sorry for Kira's sister. Hehe, I know, since the kid in Jiangbei came back, everyone saw his true face, and now he is no longer an ugly murderer, but a hot young god of war, so our family and Qiluo were suddenly pushed to the forefront, but I never thought that others would be jealous, even her sister hid such jealousy in her heart, how pitiful the child was? ”
Gu Jinxiu's face turned pale, and Mrs. Lu also secretly gritted her teeth, but she heard her husband say lightly: "Let the third girl stay in the room for a few days, let her think about it, who is Qiluo?" What exactly should she do? Is it sisters who support each other and work together? Or do you want to turn against each other and stick a knife in the back? ”
When he had said this, he turned and left. Here, Aunt Han and Aunt Zhuang also got up and retired. Mrs. Lu glared at Aunt Zhuang and Gu Lanxuan viciously, this incident happened very suddenly, but it was strange, and she didn't get any news at all, just Gu Qiluo, she didn't think that the other party had this ability, so it seemed that someone must be behind it.
"Did you hear your father? I never thought that you, who are a sister, would be so unbearable. I'm your mother, and I don't have the face to face your father and your sister at this time, so I won't say much, just tell you one sentence, you and Qiluo are sisters, a family, and the truth of both prosperity and loss, I don't need to say that you should understand, not to mention that you have the same blood on your body. You go back, you are not allowed to go out for a few days, so I have to think about your father's words, my words, I don't understand, I don't have to go out in the future. ”
"Yes."
Gu Jinxiu agreed aggrievedly, glanced at her mother, but saw her stern face and angry eyes, she couldn't help but feel a sudden in her heart, this time she was really scared, she understood the meaning of her mother's words: From the beginning, Mrs. Lu wanted her and Gu Qiluo to manage their sisterhood well, but she was proud and couldn't hold her breath, so now, although she occasionally went to show favor to Gu Qiluo, most of the time, she still put on a high posture, and now that she has learned a lesson, this time even her mother is angry.
Gu Jinxiu was not afraid that Mrs. Lu would be angry, but she was afraid that if Mrs. Lu was angry, she would refuse to help her move the stumbling block of Gu Qiluo and let herself marry into the Xiao family, not to mention that the strange piece of wood in the old lady's room was also discovered, and her mother was probably angry at this time. So the three girls didn't dare to contradict, it was rare to honestly bow their heads and admit their mistakes, and said softly: "Ming'er, my eldest sister and I will apologize, and then I will go back and think about it behind closed doors, don't worry, I ...... I knew I was wrong. ”
Watching her daughter's figure disappear outside the door, Mrs. Lu thought of the experience of this night, and couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in her heart, her fists clenched in her sleeves, she could only pin her hopes on the original family now, thinking that the family should also go to the capital, right? (To be continued......)
