Chapter 13: Returning to the Gate 2
Without the presence of Prince Jing, the atmosphere in the front hall suddenly became relaxed. www.biquge.info In the final analysis, this Jing princess of Gu Tingcheng is nothing without the presence of Prince Jing.
The first to attack was Gu Chang'an, she had long been unpleasant to Gu Tingcheng, and now as soon as Prince Jing left, she stood up, pointed at Gu Tingcheng and said:
"Slut, don't hurry down yet. Is that where you can sit? Don't think that if you become Princess Jing, you won't be able to take your grandmother seriously. ”
Although Gu Changan was angry, he was not brainless, she moved Old Madam Gu out, and she didn't believe that Gu Qingcheng dared to disobey her.
After Gu Qingcheng listened to Gu Changan's words, he didn't move, and still drank the tea in his hand casually. Stupid, didn't you see that everyone else was afraid to speak out? There is a saying that the stick hits the first bird, is Gu Changan losing his mind today?
Gu Changan just lost his mind, originally thought that Gu Qingcheng would marry into the Jingwang Mansion on her behalf, it would definitely be better to live than to die. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise for her to win the favor of Prince Jing.
Thinking that Gu Tingcheng was now getting everything that originally belonged to her, the distortion in Gu Changan's heart couldn't stop at all, and he couldn't wait to pull Gu Tingcheng down and step on his feet and sit on it himself.
Gu Qingcheng's immobile appearance, even Mrs. Gu felt that something was wrong, but Gu Changan didn't notice it. She raised her voice and shouted:
"Gu Qingcheng, are you deaf, don't forget how you sat in the position of Princess Jing. Without Gu Fu, you are nothing. ”
The sound of a teacup falling heavily on the table with a "bump" sounded, interrupting Gu Changan's words. Of course, Gu Qingcheng will not forget how she became Princess Jing, it was Gu Fu who let her know what it means to be powerless and be slaughtered by others.
The momentum exuded by Gu Tingcheng's body made everyone feel in a trance, especially Gu Changan. For a moment, she felt like she was almost on her knees.
After the teacup was put down, Gu Tingcheng quickly restrained his emotions and turned back to the scared Gu Tingcheng and looked at Old Madam Gu.
"Big sister is too loud, I, I'm a little frightened. I also want to stand up, but the prince is still in the house, if the prince knows about it, he will be angry, grandmother won't blame Allure for sitting in this position, right? ”
Gu Qingcheng's cautious appearance, as if the person who exuded miserliness just now was not her, led everyone to think that she was so shocked by the eldest lady that she couldn't hold the cup steadily.
Is this really the case? Gu Tingcheng's acting skills are not very good, it doesn't matter if everyone believes it or not, as long as one person believes it, it is enough.
Gu Changan was just frightened by Gu Qingcheng, and he had already accumulated anger in his heart. Seeing Gu Qingcheng's fearful appearance again, the anger in his heart immediately couldn't be suppressed.
"Don't fool us with Prince Jing, how could Prince Jing fall in love with you as a vulgar person, and don't put gold on your face, if you are favored, how can you come back empty-handed."
As soon as Gu Changan said this, everyone noticed that Gu Tingcheng and Wang's mother really returned to the door empty-handed. I thought the gift was on the carriage before, but now it is unlikely that it has not been taken out.
The biggest reaction was Mrs. Gu, she was designed by Gu Tingcheng for three thousand taels, and Gu Tingcheng married on her behalf and paid a generous dowry. I thought that Gu Tingcheng would marry into King Jing's Mansion, and the gifts he prepared when he returned to the door would definitely not be ordinary, but who knew that Gu Tingcheng would not prepare a gift when he returned to the door.
"Allure, did you really not prepare a gift when you returned to the door today?" Mrs. Gu, who was pressing the last straw, looked at Gu Tingcheng with the last hope, and the others were the same, they couldn't believe that Gu Tingcheng would not prepare a gift when he returned to the Jingwang Mansion.
Gu Qingcheng, who was looking forward to it by everyone, sneered in his heart. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, but the concubine really didn't prepare a gift for you.
Old Madam Gu was still calm when she was robbed of her position, after all, as Gu Tingcheng said, Prince Jing was still in the house, and she couldn't bear it for a while. However, as soon as she heard that Gu Tingcheng might not have returned to the door with a gift, Old Madam Gu, who had always been patient, also had a bad look on her face.
Can't help it so soon? Gu Qingcheng looked in the direction of Old Madam Gu, pretending to be weak and helpless, and replied in a sobbing tone:
"Allure is unfilial, and it has lived up to my mother's expectations. The prince knew that the Gu Mansion had changed the bride, and he was very angry, but he still had to maintain the face of the palace outside. This time, the prince accompanied his concubine back to the door, but I was afraid that he came to ask his father for questioning, let alone preparing gifts. ”
As early as when Gu Tingcheng decided to return to the door without a salute, he had already thought about how to answer. If you want a gift from Jingwangfu, think about how to explain the bride to Jingwangfu!
Sure enough, as Gu Qingcheng expected, Old Madam Gu's face changed greatly when she heard her say that Prince Jing had come to Gu Mansion to question. Although Prince Jing's legs are crippled, King Jing's Mansion is not something that their Gu Mansion can provoke.
Where can Old Madam Gu care about whether Gu Qingcheng has prepared a gift to return to the door at this time, and hurriedly asked: "Did the prince of Jing tell you how to deal with this matter?" ”
Seeing that the old lady had taken the bait, Gu Qingcheng was no longer hypocritical, and sighed and replied helplessly: "Where can a concubine, an unfavored princess, find out about this, the granddaughter has been trying her best to please the prince these days." I just hope that the prince will forgive this matter for the sake of the concubine's dedication.
In fact, the granddaughter returned to the door this time in the hope of asking her grandmother to help her in the city, after all, the matter of the original marriage was arranged by her mother and sister. ”
Gu Tingcheng's words were very clear, firstly, he begged to curry favor with Prince Jing for the sake of the safety of the Gu Mansion, and secondly, the current situation was caused by the eldest lady and Gu Changan.
Of course, Gu Changan understood the meaning of Gu Qingcheng's words, but because she understood, she was even more irrational and shouted like a shrew.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you are the one who gave the marriage by divine decree. You should kneel down and thank the Gu Mansion for giving you the opportunity to marry into the Jingwang Mansion. ”
"My sister is not right, my sister is grateful to the Gu Mansion for taking me back to Beijing, but on the prince's side, my sister has no way. After all, the prince already knows that I have been sent out since I was a child, and the prince will not blame me too much. ”
Gu Tingcheng said this to the old lady on purpose, everyone knew that she was just a down-and-out third lady who had just been picked up, and of course she would not have come up with such a thing as changing the bride. If King Jing's Mansion wants to settle accounts, it is also against Gu Mansion, and she will not be too embarrassed by her, the princess who was forced to marry.
Old Madam Gu also knew that Gu Tingcheng said this on purpose, although she didn't like Gu Tingcheng very much, but what she said was also the truth, if there was no trouble between the eldest lady and Gu Chang'an, how could Gu Mansion provoke Shangjing Wangfu now. If you want to settle this matter, you still have to rely on Gu Qingcheng in the end.
"Come on, send the eldest lady back to the backyard to meditate, and don't step out of the backyard without my instructions."
This means that she is going to be grounded, Gu Changan's eyes were stunned when she heard it, and her grandmother actually wanted to ban her feet for Gu Qingcheng.
Why? Gu Changan's eyes were on fire, and he wanted to step forward to ask the old lady, but he was pulled back by the eldest lady, and the strength of his hand hurt Gu Changan.
The eldest lady has no choice but to do it, she can see that Gu Tingcheng is coming back to collect debts, and she wants to avenge the revenge of being forced to marry. Chang'an has been pampered by her since she was a child, and she is easily impulsive, she can't watch her daughter being provoked and used by that little slut in Gu Tingcheng.
"Yes, Mother. Chang'an has been spoiled by the concubine since she was a child, and she lost her sense of proportion for a while, and the concubine took her back to the backyard.
Although Allure is not the daughter of a concubine, she is also a concubine who grew up, and if her mother can help, she should try to help, after all, she is a young lady from Gu Mansion. ”
Gu Changan was pulled by the eldest lady, and he also came back to his senses at this time. I really can't underestimate this slut, and she almost made her grandmother unhappy.
Gu Changan, who had regained his senses, told the old lady very sensibly and said, "Yes, grandmother." The granddaughter was impulsive, so she went back to the backyard to reflect. ”
The eldest lady left, but she also gave Gu Tingcheng eye medicine before leaving. She didn't know that the old lady's biggest resentment was her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yue, and the eldest lady deliberately mentioned her to remind the old lady,
Gu Tingcheng is her daughter, don't be easily confused by Gu Tingcheng. Gu Chang'an, they are the young ladies of the Gu Mansion.
came out to see a farce, and Gu Tingcheng did not prepare gifts for everyone to come back. The second sister Gu Changping was a little excited, she stood up and saluted the old lady and said:
"Grandmother, there are still some important matters to be dealt with in Changping, and my granddaughter asked to go back first."
Gu Changan is too impatient, Gu Tingcheng is too shrewd, and this granddaughter is very stable. Mrs. Gu agreed to Gu Changping's request, and specially instructed her to pay attention to the combination of work and rest and rest more.
Gu Changping responded with a smile, and then apologized to Gu Qingcheng before leaving. "It's rare for the third sister to go back to the house, and my sister can't accompany her, so I will find my sister to drink tea and enjoy the flowers together another day."
The third aunt saw that her daughter was so knowledgeable and appreciated by the old lady, not to mention how proud she was, and even her eyes became friendly with Gu Chengcheng.
With the previous incident, the old lady had no intention of dealing with Gu Tingcheng anymore, she asked Gu Tingyu to accompany Gu Tingcheng and went back to the backyard by herself.
Although Gu Tingyu was instructed by the old lady to accompany Gu Tingcheng, she already looked down on Gu Tingcheng's identity as a commoner in her heart, and when she arrived at the garden of the Gu Mansion, she casually found an excuse to leave.
Gu Tingcheng was not annoyed by this, Gu Tingyu's departure was exactly what she wanted. Gu Tingcheng's mother did not live in Gu's mansion, and the elegant courtyard where she originally returned to Beijing was also vacant with her marriage. Gu Qingcheng took Wang's mother to the pavilion of the lotus pond in Gufu and sat to watch the lotus flowers.
"Isn't the princess looking for the princess?"
Mother Wang looked at Gu Tingcheng and looked at the lotus pond in front of her, and asked with some incomprehension.
"He and his father were in the study, and I used to do nothing. Besides, I didn't come back to the door simply. If I wasn't alone, how could she have found it herself? ”
Gu Qingcheng didn't look back, still looking at the lotus pond in front of him and answered Mother Wang. After listening to her words, Mother Wang continued to ask with some puzzlement:
"Did the princess come here on purpose to wait for someone? Who else in the palace would like to come to the princess? ”
"Of course there is, there is another person here who hates Gu Fu as much as me." Gu Tingcheng turned around and said to Wang's mother with a smile.
Now she is no longer the Gu Tingcheng before she got married, she believes that if the second aunt is smart enough, she will definitely come to her in person.
"What the third lady said is right, there are still people here who are the same as the princess, who have completely lost their minds to the Gu Mansion. The concubine Gu Su has seen Princess Jing. ”
In fact, the second aunt had already arrived here in the lotus pond, but at that time she was not sure if the current Gu Tingcheng was the person she was looking for.
It wasn't until she heard Gu Tingcheng say that she was here to wait for someone that she knew for sure that Gu Tingcheng was the person she had been waiting for.
