Chapter 128: The Three Girls' Family Affairs
"Too ...... The contrast is too strong. Gu Qiluo muttered with straight eyes.
"It's miserable." Xiao Jiangbei nodded in agreement, thought about it and said: "It's like a wild duck that has been slaughtered but is not dead, and an elegant and noble phoenix." It is rare for him to say such a series of descriptions, which shows how shocking this scene is to him.
"That's right, precisely." Gu Qiluo stretched out his thumb, but immediately reacted, and shouted, "Hey! Who is a wild duck and who is a phoenix? Xiao Jiangbei, what do you mean? ā
Xiao Jiangbei looked at his lover innocently: "Wild duck and phoenix, isn't it obvious?" After speaking, when he saw his lover's face like frost, he spread his hands: "What? Am I wrong? ā
"Well, you're not wrong." Gu Qiluo collapsed his shoulders weakly, and looking ahead, Zhong Chunfeng stumbled away, really like a half-dead wild duck chased by a phoenix.
"What's going on with that Master Cheng? It's too much of a deception, isn't it? "In the end, it's an in-service employee of Baiwei Pavilion, even if it's just a name, it's also her Gu Qiluo's person, isn't it? Cheng Tong's bullying is too much.
"That's it, what kind of grudge?" Xiao Jiangbei also nodded silently, thought for a while, and muttered, "Could it be that he was a rival in his previous life?" ā
"Hey! Aren't you his savior? Go and persuade it, really, it's just a mix in officialdom, and you don't even understand the truth of forgiving and forgiving? Gu Qiluo stabbed Xiao Jiangbei and asked him to suppress Cheng Tong's arrogance as a benefactor.
"Order." The lover has a life, how dare Xiao Jiangbei disobey? When you clench your fist. The righteous Bajing led the order away, so that Gu Qiluo behind him couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Xiao Jiangbei striding forward, he intercepted Cheng Tong and said a few words to him. Gu Qiluo nodded secretly, thinking that the other party should be more restrained now. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiangbei came back after a while, shook his head at her with a heavy face, and said in a deep voice: "It's useless, Cheng Tong said, Zhong Chunfeng is his inner demon, and he must be solved." His life talent is bright and withered. ā
"What? Demons? His current life is not enough to be proud? Do you still want to see the willows and flowers bright and withered trees in spring? Xiao Jiangbei, did that Master Cheng treat you like a child? Gu Qiluo almost jumped up, and was about to go to Cheng Tongxing to ask for the guilt. But he was stopped by Xiao Jiangbei, and when he saw him, he shook his head and said: "It's useless, Cheng Tong is very good at talking on the surface, but he is very strong in private." ā
"So what? What is he going to do? Do you have to force Zhong Chunfeng out of the capital? How did Zhong Chunfeng offend him? Gu Qiluo's willow eyebrows were upside down. The fists were clenched. But soon she thought of a possibility, almost didn't let her spit Xingzi choke, grabbed Xiao Jiangbei, she said in horror: "That...... That Cheng Tong shouldn't be as good as Longyang, so he likes Zhong Chunfeng, right? ā
"It's not." Xiao Jiangbei flatly denied it: "Don't think about it, Cheng Tong was also a prodigy when he was a child, but once he went to Jiangnan and met Zhong Chunfeng at a banquet. Someone mentioned that yƬ let the prodigies in Saibei and Jiangnan compete, and he was completely compared by Zhong Chunfeng. And at that time, Zhong Chunfeng was unforgiving, and he didn't save him a little face, so that his father said that he was not angry when he went back. Since then, he has worked hard, so much so that he has spent half of his life in books, and now when he sees Zhong Chunfeng, he can be regarded as an enemy who is very angry. ā
"Also...... And what about this twist and turn? ā
Gu Qiluo straightened his eyes, thinking to himself when he was a child? How old were Cheng Tong and Zhong Chunfeng at that time? Just hold a grudge until now? Cheng Tong is also a servant of the Ministry of Ministers now, as the saying goes, the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, even if he can't hold a boat, he can hold more than half of it, right? Or is it true that the psychological trauma suffered in childhood will be more memorable?
Gu Qiluo didn't know what to say, and finally had to say, "That...... That's it, I don't care about this, but you let Master Cheng stop a little. When he was a child, how old was Zhong Chunfeng at that time? What do children know about leaving no room for error? ā
Xiao Jiangbei glanced at her obliquely: "Could it be that he understands now?" "Before going on the expedition, Xiao Jiangbei didn't come to Baiwei Pavilion less, and he couldn't be more clear about what kind of virtue Zhong Chunfeng was, that is, he was a master who couldn't be reasoned with, but now that he met someone more powerful than him, this is retribution at all, of course, this kind of truth can't be said in front of his lover.
"Hmm!" Gu Qiluo remembered Zhong Chunfeng's usual poisonous tongue, and was smart to be silent, and only whispered for a long time: "He has a more poisonous mouth and is a little arrogant, and he has been taught a lesson because of this, and the ten-year cold window has finally come to naught, isn't this enough?" Master Cheng is now proud, so don't sprinkle salt on his wounds anymore. ā
"Don't worry, Cheng Tong has been an official for several years, he will grasp this measure." Xiao Jiangbei didn't want to waste his energy for Zhong Chunfeng, so he accompanied Gu Qiluo to go back.
"Do you really know how to get the right measure?" Gu Qiluo looked back and saw that Zhong Chunfeng and Cheng Tong were gone, thinking of the appearance of the two just now, she was skeptical of Xiao Jiangbei's words.
********************
"The girl is back?"
Seeing Gu Qiluo's carriage enter the West Corner Gate, Mrs. Wang hurriedly rushed up to greet her, so Gu Qiluo got out of the carriage and greeted her with a smile. Just as he was about to go to the backyard, he heard Mrs. Wang whisper: "It's lively in the upper room today, don't you go to see it?" ā
"What's the excitement?" Gu Qiluo stepped forward, knowing that Mrs. Wang had something to say. Sure enough, I saw her smile more and more happily, and said in a low voice: "Someone came to the door to propose marriage to the third girl, and now the matchmaker is in the upper room, and the wife is just entertaining tea and snacks." ā
"Oh? Whose house is it? Looks like my wife is still very satisfied? ā
"Isn't it?" Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and whispered: "The other party's family background is not expensive, but the people are rich, the palace worships the Lin family, who doesn't know about the one acre and three points of land in this capital?" ā
"The Lin family?" Gu Qiluo was surprised, she knew that the Lin family was also the number one powerful person in the palace worship, but she didn't know how Gu Mingyang could marry such a family? Father has always liked the scholarly family, and although the Lin family is worshiped by the court, there is no one in the family to be an official, Mrs. Lu has always been greedy, not only asking for money, but also wanting power, she is willing to marry her daughter to the son of a businessman? The court worship is also a merchant.
Gu Qiluo couldn't help but think of Xue Pan's appearance in her mind, no way, it was really "Dream of Red Mansions" that was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that when she mentioned the palace worship, she made up for the stupid overlord in her brain. But she didn't worry about this matter very much, how Gu Jinxiu married had nothing to do with her, but Gu Lanxuan, when the news of Xiao Jiangbei's death in battle last year had not yet come, a wealthy businessman came to ask for marriage, and Mrs. Lu tried her best to let Gu Lanxuan out, but she was destroyed by Gu Qiluo, and Master Gu didn't like the merchant family very much, so although the other party also had some connections in the local officialdom, he still refused.
As soon as she returned to her room, she heard Gu Lanxuan's voice outside the door, Gu Qiluo hurriedly welcomed her in person, and sure enough, she smiled and said, "Does the big sister know?" The third sister's family affairs are probably settled, you only thought about the Xiao family's brother before, so you probably didn't pay attention to the rumors in the house, some people said it at that time, but at that time it was not accurate, and now that the other party has come to the door to propose, the wife is probably also angry with the master, so this matter is basically accurate. ā
Gu Qiluo said with a smile: "When I entered the door, I heard Mrs. Wang talk about this matter, but I wonder how Mrs. has found a merchant family for the third sister now, according to her thoughts, she has to marry the third sister to the official eunuch's family, at least not worse than me, so that I can breathe a sigh of relief." ā
Gu Lanxuan sneered: "She has this heart, but she also has to see the reality clearly, don't say that she is comparable to the elder brother of the Xiao family, even if she is an ordinary noble family, she may not be able to look down on our family, after all, the master is just a five-grade official." This Lin family is actually very good, not to mention that they are so rich, although they have no official body, their connections are very broad, not to mention that they are proposing marriage for the second son, I heard that the second son of Lin is very talented, but eighteen years old, he has already won the fame of showing talent, and he will be promoted next year. No, the wife may not be interested in this family business. ā
Gu Qiluo knew the real reason at this time, so he nodded and smiled: "That's it, now that the third sister's family matter is decided, she won't come to talk to me, we don't have to care about this matter very much, but we care about our own affairs." The second sister is now at the age when she should be married, and last year's family affair, because you didn't want to, I also felt bad, so I spoke in front of my father, and in the end it was destroyed, and my wife hated me so much. Now that the third sister has decided to marry, I'm afraid that she won't look at me coldly, what kind of family will I choose for you? You name a standard, and I'll be careful to touch it. ā
Gu Lanxuan's face immediately turned red, and she said to Gu Qiluo: "What am I anxious about?" My sister is not married yet, where can I show up and worry about my affairs? When you marry in the future, if your sister has a liking at that time, you have to ask your sister, but you are not in a hurry at this time. ā
Gu Qiluo thought about it, so he said: "That is the case, then I will pay attention to it for you in the future, if you have someone you like, tell me directly, you know my temperament, we don't need to twist and pinch it, yes, I met with Xiao Jiangbei in Baiwei Pavilion today, their family is about to set a date, and I should be able to leave the pavilion next spring......"
Without waiting to finish speaking, he heard Gu Lanxuan smile and said, "Big sister is really happy to get carried away, so that the words can be said smoothly." But you're right, it's better to get out of the cabinet a day earlier. The old lady of the Lin family heard that she was also seriously ill, and after the eldest sister came out of the cabinet, I was afraid that it would be the turn of the third sister, and I expected that the Lin family would not wait too long. ā
Gu Qiluo nodded, she didn't care very much about this matter in her heart, because she had gossiped with Gu Lanxuan for a while, and suddenly heard someone in the courtyard calling Xinghua, and when she asked, it was Mrs. Lu who called her over. (To be continued......)
PS: Gu Jinxiu is also married, and a big excitement is just around the corner. Lalalala......
