Chapter 290: People Have Changed
After going around for more than half a year, Princess Haining finally married into the palace family, but it was slightly different from what everyone thought at the beginning, the groom official was not the eldest young master of the palace family, but the second young master of the palace family.
For such a result, naturally there are those who do good things to ask around in order to find the root cause, why does the princess not marry the prince, but marry a second son?
And because of these good deeds, the news that Gong Xiru is a good man spread all over the capital almost instantly.
The people who heard the news didn't believe it at first, but gradually more people said it, and they also believed it a little, and after a long time, although the rumors faded, almost all men, women and children recognized this matter, that is, the good manhood of the palace family.
In the past, when Gong Xiru walked on the street, some bold girls would look at him with admiration, and often went to the old temple to pray, hoping that he could marry such a handsome man. As for the men, they are envious and jealous, love and hate.
But now that the former is walking on the street, the daughter's family is sad, and the men are like frightened birds, and they dare not look at them at all, as if they are afraid that one will be taken care of by accident.
If it used to be the attention of the public, but now it has become a street rat, even as an entourage, walking on the road can't help but bow its head.
Gong Sheng took the lead and hung his head to his chest, walked next to Gong Xiru and complained in a low voice: "Master Hou, it's not a small mouth, you look at the eyes of everyone looking at you, it's like looking at monsters, these daughters' grievances are so distressing."
The little heart is wronged for the Hou Ye, you are a serious seven-foot man, but you let the second young master spread the news. Haven't you ever thought about leaving a good reputation and doing things well in the future? β
Gong Xiru didn't seem to see those weird eyes, and she still walked lightly. By the way, he looked at Gong Sheng with contempt and said, "If you think it's a shame to follow me, then you don't have to follow me." β
Gong Sheng's voice became more and more resentful, "If it was in the past, the little one would still be able to leave, but now, don't you see the eyes of everyone looking at the two of us, the little one is a little better-looking." But because Hou Ye was wronged like this, he was really wronged.
Master Hou, you should tell the truth to the little one, and don't mention the 50,000 soldiers and horses. Hou Ye loves beauty and not power, but why is this ruined self-ruined reputation? β
"You look like this, don't you just want to talk to me?" Gong Xiru looked like I knew, and said disdainfully: "Those 50,000 soldiers and horses are not as good as the name sounds. No shadow has been checked. They are all recruits or veterans, and they can't go to the battlefield at all, what do you think Ning Guo sent over? If it's good, he doesn't keep it himself? β
"Hou Ye said this, but it is really ruthless, the little one knows, even if it is 50,000 elite soldiers, for the eldest lady. You don't pay attention to it. Gong Sheng said with timely flattery.
Gong Xiru really smiled a little, "As for those rumors. If you believe me, you won't take it seriously, and if you don't believe it, it will be explained and change their opinion? β
Gong Sheng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, except that Zhu Gongzi likes to tease you more than before." Hou Ye's heart is not ordinary people, the little one knows, you must have a plan. β
"What do you think of walking down the street now?" Gong Xi asked suddenly.
Gong Sheng was stunned and said tentatively: "It seems that there are fewer people looking at us than a few days ago?" β
"Even if you have eyesight-" Gong Xiru smiled faintly: "Rumors can only be spread for a while, since the Ling family and the Luo family announced that they were going to get married, everyone's eyes have been on the Ling Mansion and the Luo Mansion, and there are really not many people who care about me." β
Gong Sheng could only nod his head in resignation: "What Hou Ye said is extremely true." β
*
Since the Ling Luo family announced to the outside world that they were going to marry in early summer, everyone who had not yet faded out of the joy of the palace family was happy again, there are happy events every year, especially this year, with the generosity of the Ling Mansion, it will be another big show.
Now that the wedding date has been announced, during this time, the two families are busy with the things they need.
If it weren't for the humiliating thing that Ling Hui did, both the Lan family and Ling Shandao would be happy in this family matter. But when something like that happened, the Lan family was angry with Ling Hui in their hearts, and they didn't bother to ask more about the things to be prepared in the house, basking in the sun in Guiyuan all day long, or listening to Ling Yi read.
Ling Yi was naturally very happy, on the surface, she wanted to ask about everything, but in fact, she only needed to draw up a purchase list according to the head, and then handed it over to Ling Chang to do, and didn't care about the rest.
As for Ling Hui's dowry, it was still up to the Delan clan and Ling Shandao to have the final say, but she wasn't curious about what she had prepared, she just prepared one for Ling Hui according to etiquette, and she couldn't find any thorns in it.
On this day, after reading to the Lan family, Ling Yi did not go back to Ruomeng Pavilion directly as always, but went to the front yard and the back house, and checked all the materials that had been prepared, there was no big problem, and then walked slowly outside the house.
On weekdays, as long as he went out of the mansion, Lu Xiaotian would pretend to be a little girl and stay by Ling Yi's side in order to get closer to Zhiyu.
It's the same today, but this time he didn't laugh and joke like before, and when he got to the noisy crowd, he said seriously: "The person that the eldest lady asked me to find before, I have already found it."
This old thing is also hidden deeply, I see that he did a lot of harm when he was young, and now he has some money in hand, and he has become a family, and he has a half-old daughter under his knees, as long as the eldest lady says a word, I will immediately catch the old thing. β
"What are you doing here?" Ling Yi couldn't help but glance at him: "You must know it with emotion and reason, so that he can tell the truth, after all, not everyone can admit his evil deeds back then, you have to let him say it himself." β
Lu Xiaotian was stunned, pointed to himself and said, "The eldest lady let me know her affection?" I'm the most feared person in the worldβ"
"You're my guardβ" Ling Yi raised an eyebrow.
Lu Xiaotian looked at her with a stiff expression, and only after a long time did he look at Zhi Yu for help and said: "Sister Zhi Yu, you are the most gentle and lovely woman I have ever seen. β
Weaving Feather and Weaving Fan both looked at the two inexplicably, and Weaving Feather couldn't help asking, "Who is the eldest lady looking for?" β
Ling Yi then explained to the two, "I haven't been sure before, so I let the road guards go to investigate, and I didn't tell you, I want to wait for the result of the matter to tell you, now that the person has found it, it's time to tell you." β
Weaving Feather and Weaving Fan both pricked up their ears and followed Ling Yi's steps all the way, listening to the latter slowly explain what had happened.
"How can there be such a thing?" After hearing this, the weaving fan couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and then clenched his fists angrily, "If it wasn't for my father trying his best to protect me and my sister back then, we would have to be taken away by people's teeth, these people's teeth are so hateful, it is not enough to die ten thousand times." β
Ori Yu already had tears in her eyes, "Miss, let the maid do this matter, Lu Guard is not good at this kind of thing." β
Ling Yi smiled and nodded, and then the weaving fan realized that the direction she was going to was Baifu, and asked, "The eldest lady wants to see Miss Bai Er?" β
"Well, she is also in the boudoir now, and she can hardly go out on weekdays, so I can only go to see her."
"Second Miss is really going to marry the Fu family?" Weaving Fan asked.
Zhi Yu glanced at her: "The eldest lady has said that she will let Miss Bai Er get her wish, what else do you ask." β
"I don't want to ask to be at ease." The weaving fan stuck out his tongue and laughed.
Bai Miaoqi really hadn't seen Ling Yi for a long time, and she was surprised and happy to see the latter, so she asked her subordinates to bring tea and water and take snacks, and took out her recently embroidered silk, and she was very busy.
It was easy for the two of them to finally sit down and talk for a while, and then she pouted aggrievedly: "I also said that you have become a busy person now, and you have forgotten me." β
"You didn't go on the day Gong Yunrui and Princess Haining got married, I asked your eldest brother, saying that you don't want to go out now, didn't you like to run out before. Isn't the weekday meal not delicious, how did it become like this? β
Bai Miaojian smiled slightly: "Slimmer and look good, the edges and corners of this face are clear, not like before, like a meat bun." β
Ling Yi couldn't help but look disgusted: "Where is it, the previous ones were good-looking, you look weak, don't you feel distressed to look at?" β
Bai Miaoqi smiled reluctantly, didn't say more on this topic, and proudly took out her embroidery, "I embroidered this picture so easily, I haven't shown it to my mother, what kind of animal is this?" β
"Mandarin ducks, embroidered well, you can recognize them at a glance." Ling Yi praised.
Bai Miaojian showed a bright smile at this time, "I used to think that these things were troublesome and boring, but seeing that my embroidery is getting better and better, it is inevitable that I will have a sense of accomplishment in my heart, and I will definitely embroider better and better in the future - the days will get better and better." β
"Yes-that's of course, don't forget that you're the second lady of the Bai family, this status is noble." Ling Yi said with a smile.
The two talked for a long time, and seeing that it was almost noon, Ling Yi got up and said that he was leaving.
"Do you dislike me with your heart, this is going to eat lunch soon, what are you going to do when you go back, it's not too late to leave after eating." Bai Miaoqi pulled her and didn't let her go.
Ling Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll stay and eat you guys, but I still have to go and say hello to my uncle and aunt, so I can't be rude." β
"I'll go with you." Bai Miaojian made a gesture to get up.
Ling Yi pressed her shoulder and pressed her back to her seat: "You are sitting, I have some private words I want to ask my aunt what she means, and when I come back, I will tell you." β
Bai Miaoqi looked at her suspiciously, "What's so mysterious, you want to hide it from me, but you want to ask your mother?" β
"Then you should also think about what I am going to ask." Ling Yi smiled, but she still looked like I wouldn't tell you.
Bai Miaoqi shook her head helplessly: "That's it, I don't have so much curiosity now, Sydney-you take Miss Ling to my mother." β
Sydney bowed down, walked in front and made an invitation to Ling Yi, and Ling Yi followed Sydney out of Bai Miaoqi's house. (To be continued.) )
