Chapter 113: Burning with Anger
Gu Lanxuan's heart was shaken, and she swallowed back the words she was about to say, because she saw a chessboard on the table, she walked over and picked it up and said, "Sister hasn't played chess for a long time, right?" It's boring anyway, so let's just take a few moves of chess, and you don't have to think about it, so I can give my sister a chance to win. β
Gu Qiluo didn't want to agree, let alone playing chess, she didn't want to do anything now. However, he also knew that he was always in this state, so he had to cheer himself up, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll accompany my sister to go a few tricks." β
Gu Lanxuan was overjoyed, feeling that as long as Gu Qiluo slowly cheered up, all the troubles could be solved, so she sat down happily, but as soon as she put the chessboard away, she heard a voice outside: "Is the big girl there?" The slave maid was ordered by the wife to invite the eldest girl over. β
"Is it Linglong? What did she come over for? Gu Lanxuan frowned, glanced at Gu Qiluo, and saw that she had no expression on her face, Fang turned to Chunyu and said, "Call her in." β
Chunyu walked out, and after a while, she came in with Linglong, only to see that this girl's face was full of joy, and seeing that their cold attitude was completely different from that on weekdays, Gu Lanxuan had a warning sign in her heart, and said coldly: "Mrs. is looking for the eldest sister to go over, what is the matter?" β
Linglong frowned slightly, and glanced at Gu Lanxuan with some displeasure, but then smiled again, looked at Gu Qiluo and said happily: "The slave maid said hello to the eldest girl, you should go to the wife's place quickly, it is a great joy." β
At this time, I came to talk to her about a big happy event, but I was afraid that there would be nothing good. Gu Qiluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and one hand slowly covered the small jar containing the chess pieces next to him. Said coldly: "What kind of happy event?" β
"The girl allows the slave to sell it, anyway, she will know in the past." Linglong laughed more and more happily, but saw Gu Qiluo's willow eyebrows upside down. Impatiently: "If you want to say it, you can say it." β
"Oh......" Linglong's face full of laughter was frightened by Gu Qiluo's broken drink, and it took a long time before she lowered her head, and the resentment in her eyes flashed, but in the face of Gu Qiluo, whose temper was obviously more irritable than usual, she couldn't help but say, because she had to be embarrassed and said: "Back to the girl." The Chengming Hou Mansion sent someone to their son to propose marriage, and the iceman in the yamen said that the Hou Mansion of the people took a fancy to the eldest girl......
It was as if there was a thunderbolt overhead. In an instant, Gu Qiluo was trembling, and before Linglong finished speaking, he grabbed the jar in his hand and threw it at her.
Linglong was taken aback, and Gu Qiluo was also angry. There is no accurate head on the hand. The jar grazed her cheeks and flew over, but the chess pieces in the jar were flying all over the sky, smashing her head and face on Linglong's face, only to scream in fright, with the sound of the jar smashing on the door frame, it was terrifying.
Gu Qiluo staggered to his feet, his fingers trembling and pointed at Linglong, gritted his teeth and said, "Go back and sue your master." Let her rest her thoughts about me as soon as possible, and clarify the prince of the Hou Mansion? Hehe. Such a big family background, doesn't your master like such a family? It's not uncommon for her to match the three girls. If you dare to be verbose, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. β
Linglong wanted to say something, but heard Gu Lanxuan say coldly: "What are you still standing here for?" Don't get out yet? At this time, come and tell the big sister such news, are you still human? β
Gu Qiluo is just that, because of the previous housekeeper, Yu Wei in the house is still there. But what are these two girls? Dare to scold yourself like this? As a confidant by Mrs. Lu's side, when did Linglong suffer such a wretch? It's just that no matter how angry she is, she didn't dare to say anything more at this time, so she had to hurriedly salute and withdraw without saying a word.
"Big sister is discouraged." Gu Lanxuan helped Gu Qiluo sit down, and said to Xinghua: "Go and pour a cup of hot tea, and let the kitchen stew something nourishing, the big sister has lost a lot of weight in the past two days, look at this body is still trembling." β
Xinghua hurriedly agreed, here Gu Qiluo took a few breaths of heavy breath before slowly calming down, taking the tea in Xinghua's hand, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's only been a few days?" It's only been a few days? She couldn't sit still again, thinking that she could get along safely, okay, this is to force me and her to break the net. β
Gu Lanxuan hesitated for a moment before she said softly: "Big sister, you know that I don't have a good impression of my wife, and I will never speak for her." But this time, in good conscience, it may not be that she wants to harm you. The family of the Chengming Marquis Mansion is noble, and the prince is said to be both civil and military, and even the emperor has praised him. Now that they have come to the door to propose, although the wife must be in a hurry, this is indeed a good family matter, no worse than the Xiao family. It's just that the timing of her mention is not right, she shouldn't have come to talk to the big sister about such a thing at this time, but in addition to this, there is nothing wrong with the wife, you just said that she let the third girl out, and asked me to say, the wife wants to give this family business to the third sister, but unfortunately she can't afford to provoke the Chengming Hou Mansion, and people are here to propose to the big sister, so she has nothing to do. β
Gu Lanxuan's soft words made Gu Qiluo completely calm down, she frowned and muttered, "This matter is a little strange. You just told me before, and now everyone on the streets and alleys says that I am Kefu, even Xiao Jiangbei...... Not to mention the children of the aristocracy, even those ordinary people, I am afraid that they will also retreat from me, this prince of the Chengming Marquis Mansion is as good as you say, what kind of can he not find? Why are you looking for a broom star like me? β
"Big sister, don't say that." Gu Lanxuan shook her head and sighed: "Saying that you Kefu is just those people who have no knowledge talking nonsense, how can a person like Hou Shizi of Chengming listen to these rumors?" The second brother is on the battlefield, and anything can happen. People who really understand reason will not blame you, I thought, that Chengming Hou Shizi may just have a pair of discerning eyes and can see the benefits of his big sister, so he will come to propose. β
Gu Qiluo nodded slowly and said lightly: "If that's the case, now that I refuse, this matter will probably be over." I hope they will retreat in the face of difficulties, don't ask me to bother anymore, I just want to live this life in peace now, so that I can go to Jiuquan to see Xiao Jiangbei, I really don't want to entangle with anyone anymore. β
Mourning is greater than dying, the eldest sister is in such a mood now. Gu Lanxuan sighed, she didn't agree with Gu Qiluo's negative attitude in her heart, but this time was obviously not a good time to persuade, so she could only hope that after a long time, Gu Qiluo could slowly let go of Xiao Jiangbei and start her life again.
At the same time, Mrs. Ye had just sent off the official iceman who had come to propose marriage, and when she returned to the house, the smile on her face disappeared, because she paced back and forth a few steps, Fang Qi sat on the chair, gritted her teeth and said: "It's really unreasonable, I don't understand, what's so good about that wild girl?" Xiao Jiangbei only died in battle for a few days? The Chengming Marquis Mansion came to the door to propose marriage, and asked her by name, so it was clear that the son of the world and the wild girl had never even met, right? Why is that? β
Zhou Hong's family was also puzzled, because he said: "The old slave heard that the Marquis of Chengming was seriously ill, and he will die soon, as long as he dies, the son of the family will be the marquis, and their family is the founder of the country, the hereditary marquis." It's just that now I heard that the little Hou master is in charge of the Hou Mansion, not to mention that this is not like a family affair that the elders will arrange for him. β
"Of course it can't be arranged by the elders, which elder would harm his son like this?" Mrs. Ye's face was pale, and she just wanted to drink a cup of tea to dissipate her anger, when she saw Linglong also walking in with a resentful face, and when she saw her, she cried: "Don't mention it, madam, I went to sue Miss SΓΉ about this, but instead asked her to smash the chess jar, and told me to get out, and said a lot of disrespectful things to my wife." The slave has never seen such a bad person. β
"What? Is she still in control? I don't know what to lift. Mrs. Lu slapped the table, becoming even more angry, and suddenly heard the words of Zhou Hongjia beside her: "Madam, since the eldest girl is so stubborn, then let's talk to the Chengming Marquis Mansion and see how good it is to marry the third girl to the prince?" Marry before the old Hou Ye breathes, maybe it will be Mrs. Hou Ye in a few days......"
Before she finished speaking, she was glared at viciously by Mrs. Lu, and heard her grit her teeth and roar: "Are you old and confused?" Do you think the Chengming Marquis Mansion is the Xiao family? It's close to our family, so you can still have a dozen ideas for changing marriages? Since they named the name, then they must want that wild girl. β
"It's going to be hard." Zhou Hongjia's face also showed a look of embarrassment, and Linglong said hatefully: "Let me say, since the eldest girl is so ignorant of good people's hearts, why should my wife plan for her?" Such a good family can't be climbed by others if they want to, so she doesn't want to do it, and she saves herself from really marrying the past, and when she returns to her parents' house in the future, she will have to press his wife. β
Mrs. Lu's face was cloudy, and after thinking for a long time, she shook her head and said: "That's not what I said, now that Xiao Jiangbei has died in battle, the Xiao family is like this, their family no longer has very good talents, so it is enough for the master and General Xiao to maintain the relationship in the past." But the Chengming Marquis Mansion is different, it is the home of the founding of the country, the background is profound, and the connections in the court are very strong, if the lord can get their help, the future will not be worse than the attachment to the Xiao family, as long as the lord is flying Huang Tengda, this family naturally has glory and wealth, even if the wild girl hates me, she is still very grateful and respectful, and in the end, there are still many benefits. β
When she said this, she said to Linglong and Zhou Hong's family: "Okay, you guys go down first, let me think about it, this matter still has to be decided by the master in the end." Hum! I don't believe it, on weekdays, when the old man mentions the prince of Chengming, he is also very appreciative, can he be willing to do this good family business? When the time comes, let him get his wild and untamable own daughter. (To be continued......)
