Chapter 5 A World of Difference
Ever since Gu Qianyan killed Mother Li's mother and son in front of everyone's face stick, no one in the Gu Mansion dared to have the slightest neglect of her.
Just kidding, Mother Li is a relative of the Gu family, and she will kill her if she says she will kill it, without the slightest hesitation.
These people who are not related to each other let their masters kill them in this cruel real society, except for making other subordinates inevitably sad for a while, who will care about their lives and deaths?
didn't see that even Gu Qianxin didn't stand up and say anything for Mother Li's mother and son, what did they count?
The truth that people are good at being killed by others, and horses are good at being ridden, how Gu Tianyan doesn't understand, and the reactions to everyone are all expected by her.
However, since Gu Tingxin pretended not to know anything about this matter, Gu Tingyan still got along with her quietly.
The two are safe and sound, and there is a peaceful scene everywhere in the house on the surface, but in fact it is a turbulent dark tide.
Gu Tingyan knew what Gu Tingxin was planning, but she acted like she didn't know anything.
February 18 was a fine day.
It's been a while since Li's mother and son were killed, and everyone has almost forgotten it.
The annual draft of the Great Xuanguo is about to start again, and once the holy decree of the palace draft is issued, the whole country is busy up and down.
The women of Daxuanguo can probably be divided into two kinds of people in front of the quota for entering the palace, one is unwanted, and the other is avoided.
People who want to enter the palace are busy asking people to find connections and open up the door, hoping to be selected.
And some dignitaries who did not want their daughters to enter the palace arranged marriages for them in the early days, and they were all very busy.
The Gu family, as a family of medicinal food in the Great Xuan Kingdom, naturally got a place where they could enter the palace.
The Holy Decree reads: After March, a concubine with excellent medicinal food skills will be selected to enter the palace draft.
Gu Tianyan held the edict in his hand and quietly fell into deep thought.
In her previous life, the reason why she didn't want to enter the palace was mainly because she only had Qi Lingyang in her heart, and it was also to give Gu Qianxin a chance to get glory and wealth, so she tried her best to escape the palace by pretending not to understand medicinal food.
But Gu Qianyan never expected that it was me who would have set her heart on Mingyue, but when Mingyue shone on the ditch, she not only gave up the rare opportunity and became a springboard for Gu Tingxin to trample on her, but also made her end up with a tragic death.
Gu Tianyan fiercely held the holy decree in the palm of her hand, and she secretly made up her mind: In this life, she will never give Gu Tianxin any chance to take advantage of it.
Since she wants to enter the palace so much, I won't let her get her wish.
Gu Tianyan thought that the man she loved so much in the past could treat her so much for the sake of interests, telling her how to believe in any bullshit love, it was better to enter the palace to fight for the opportunity to make the Gu family shine on the lintel.
On this day, Mama Xu, who was in the professor's palace, came to Gu's house.
Mama Xu is a mama who teaches rules in the palace, and naturally pays special attention to etiquette.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw Gu Tianyan waiting outside with a large number of servants, and she immediately smiled and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Gu Tianyan held Mama Xu's hand, carefully welcomed her into the lobby, and served her to sit down.
As soon as Mama Xu sat down, she heard a woman shouting loudly for them to get out of the way and squeeze to the front.
It was Gu Tingxin who came, she looked a little embarrassed, it turned out that Gu Tingyan had rectified her.
Gu Tianyan, who is not good at lying, told Gu Tingxin that Mama Xu will come to the house tomorrow and let her go out to buy some things, saying that she is not at ease when she leaves this matter to someone else.
It just so happened that when Gu Tingxin was on the road, she was told that the carriage that almost hit her just now was the carriage that Mama Xu was sitting in the palace, and Gu Tingxin, who learned that she had been deceived, rushed back in a rage.
Gu Qianyan held back a smile, gently asked Gu Tingxin to prepare tea, and made her look at her as she spoke, asking her to change her clothes quickly.
Gu Qingxin looked at her obviously hypocritical face, forgetting that Mama Xu was still in front of her, so she arrogantly "hummed", vigorously pushed away the servants behind her, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”
"This ......" Mama Xu looked at the back of Gu Qianxin leaving in a hurry, her heart was not smooth, and she thought, where did this wild girl come from, she was so rude in front of me.
"Oh, Mama Xu, don't be angry, this is my sister, Gu Qingxin." Gu Tianyan explained apologetically: "My sister and her mother went early, and my mother and I pitied her for being lonely, but I didn't expect that after a long time, it helped her arrogant and rude character, which made you laugh." ”
Mama Xu is a human spirit, Gu Tianyan doesn't dare to overstep in front of her, and more importantly, if she wants to mix in the palace in the future, she can't offend her.
"Humph! No wonder! It's really uneducated! Mama Xu touched Gu Qianyan's hand, and wondered in her heart: they are from the same family, how can the performance of the two be worlds apart, the more she looks at Gu Tianyan, who is docile and knowledgeable, the more she likes it.
After a long time, Mama Xu said with emotion: "You and your mother, you are too kind." ”
Gu Tianyan obediently lowered her head and smiled, her first step was achieved.
The draft is different from the beauty pageant, and Gu Tingyan's appearance is no worse than Gu Qianxin, although she is two years younger than her, she is more pure and mature and stable as a concubine.
Moreover, the people introduced in the palace have great autonomy, no matter how good your skills are, it is in vain if you have no chance to perform.
The arrogant appearance of Gu was imprinted in Mama Xu's heart, and it was also to completely block her way into the palace.
"Dumping Yan, if you want to choose a concubine who is proficient in medicinal food to enter the palace in this huge Gu family, it must be you. But after all, the old body is here by order, and you still have to see your craftsmanship with your own eyes. Mama Xu explained the purpose of her trip.
"Of course, Mama said." Gu Tianyan got up and bowed: "Mama, the little woman doesn't dare to claim to be proficient, but she does understand a little." ”
Mama Xu looked at her humble appearance, and her heart was even happier: "Then, pour your face, you can show your hand to the old body." ”
Gu Tianyan smiled slightly, then hurriedly saluted first, begged for Mama Xu's understanding, and then carefully observed Mama Xu's face, and said softly: "Mama, the little woman's next words may be a little offensive, but I hope Mama can forgive the little woman." ”
Mama Xu nodded hurriedly: "It's okay!" ”
Gu Tianyan leaned forward and whispered something in Mama Xu's ear, carefully observing her reaction.
After a while, Mama Xu's old face was so excited that she couldn't help herself: "Really, you can still see it, then you go and go quickly, fry me a bowl and I'll try it." ”
Gu Tianyan saluted, turned around and asked his subordinates to take a pen and paper, hurriedly wrote down a few medicinal ingredients, handed them to his subordinates to grab, and then instructed his subordinates to move all the pots and shelves for decoction to the lobby.
