Chapter 91: Three Questions

Gu Qing is lustful.

It should be said that it is Yan Kong. He is a senior member of the Appearance Association and likes beautiful women and handsome guys, especially little beauties and handsome guys.

Seeing that there was a superb beauty suddenly in the house, she was still a cold and glamorous type, Gu Qing immediately let go of Li Rui's ears and stared at others with a smile.

This girl's appearance is like a painting, her facial features are deep and three-dimensional, she is tall and tall, and she has a heroic posture, although her skin is not white, but this kind of appearance, it doesn't matter what color of skin she has.

"What's the girl's name, and where did she come from?" Gu Qing enthusiastically took the girl's hand.

Uh, how is it all cocoons?

Tana's face was hot when Gu Qing looked at her.

"My name is Tana, and I'm from the Desert Grassland."

Desert steppe? Where is it? Shouldn't she say she's from Persia/Loulan/Tocharian or something?

Oh, yes, the emperor's letter says that Li Mao was rescued by the Qianren, and these may be the Qianren.

When she received the letter before, she thought that the Karma people were the same as the Mongols of later generations. It looks like a person from Central Asia! Did they migrate from the Western Regions?

"Miss Tana, came to Beijing to play? Just live in our house, and make sure you eat, drink, and have fun......" The more Gu Qing looked at it, the more she felt that this face looked like the various female stars she had seen in later generations, and she liked her husband a little, but she put Li Rui and Li Ming aside, and shouted at this group of girls, which flattered them.

Li Rui saw that Gu Qing's attention was diverted, and he was also happy in his heart, and hurriedly said for them: "These Chinese girls came all the way to Beijing to learn to weave that velvet coat from their grandmother. ”

"Velvet?" Gu Qing looked at these girls, "You are here to learn to knit sweaters?" ”

Ran so far just to learn to knit a sweater with her?

Several girls nodded violently and looked at Gu Qing with expectant eyes.

Gu Qing was excited by the enthusiastic eyes of these beauties, and nodded heavily: "You want to learn this?" It's simple, I'll teach you as soon as I get back! ”

Tana and a few precarious girls burst into bright smiles, which made Gu Qing's eyes shine.

The thought of these girls surrounding her every day in the future made her faint with happiness.

Who brought the girls back? Well done!

Gu Qing arranged for these girls to live in her East Garden, which had a large courtyard in the East Garden, which was still empty, Gu Qing asked Yanyun and Qiyun to clean up, and then took these girls to rest. Wait for noon, and then pick them up and wash the dust in Zhiyun Courtyard.

These generals have meritorious service to protect the master, everyone has a reward, Gu Qing and the others arranged everything, and then said to Li Rui with a straight face:

"Let's go, follow me back to Zhiyun Courtyard!"

Li Rui followed Li Rui back to Zhiyun Courtyard with trepidation, all the way thinking about how to pretend to be pitiful and avoid grandma's punishment, who expected Zhiyun Courtyard, Gu Qing didn't ask a word about his situation on the road, but asked with a strange smile:

"You told grandma, did you take a fancy to other people's beautiful girls, and specially abducted people to Beijing?"

"Grandma, what are you talking about! Tana is a year older than her grandson, not to mention that I am already engaged, and Tana has someone in her heart! She was brought back by my uncle, and I just followed my uncle's arrangement to take care of them! ”

Li Rui only felt that his breath was blocked in his chest, he couldn't spit it out, he couldn't swallow it, and he almost didn't faint.

When Gu Qing heard that this Tana was brought back by Li Mao, he was shocked and said, "Li Mao brought it back?" She's so young, does your uncle want the old cow to eat the tender grass? ”

As soon as Li Ming heard Gu Qing's words, he immediately became anxious.

"Brother, is it Hu Ren's aunt? Is the person in Tana's heart a father? ”

Li Rui was really conquered by this old and young, and shook his head vigorously.

"No, no, Tana's father saved his uncle, Tana already has a lover, and he is also a young man from the Karma people, and he has nothing to do with his uncle!"

Li Ming patted his chest when he heard this. Fortunately, my father didn't look for any aunts.

Gu Qing sighed, "Hey, there is already an object?" It's a pity that she looks so beautiful. ”

"Where is she pretty? He looks so tall and has such a hard appearance! Li Rui has never felt that there is a problem with his grandmother's vision, at least his mother and his aunt are both beauties, how do you think this Tana is like being poured ** soup?

Gu Qing is reluctant to fight with Li Rui for this kind of problem, there is a thousand-year gap between her and their aesthetics.

Take Li Mao as an example, she has always felt that Li Mao is a beautiful uncle, although it is not the standard of a beautiful man with white face and beautiful hair nowadays, but his facial features are square, and his temperament is gentle, and he must be the kind of woman killer who looks very reliable in modern times, just like Pu Cunxin, Bai Yansong and the like.

As a result, everyone thinks that Li Mao is "mediocre in appearance", and even he himself feels that he looks like this.

Now this Tana is the same. Obviously she was stunning at first sight, tall and fit, and they actually thought she was tough......

"Does she have any sisters......

"Grandma, what do you want to do?" Li Rui looked at Gu Qing vigilantly.

"Aren't there Ming'er and Jun'er?"

"Grandma, I don't want it! I don't want it! Li Ming shouted in fright, "I don't like Hu people!" ”

"I don't like women." Li Jun also refused.

"Huh?"

"Ah no, I mean, I'm not interested in women." Li Jun saw that everyone showed an expression of "So you have broken sleeves", and hurriedly explained in a panic. "No, no, I mean, I'm not thinking about getting married and having children......"

In short, Totana's blessing, Gu Qing's focus was finally no longer on "Li Rui, you bear child, you dare to run away from home", which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Even Li Rui didn't expect that this matter would be revealed so easily.

Li Rui came back from Fenzhou all the way, and Gu Qing couldn't bear him running around, so he asked him to go and rest for a while in the room he used to live in the East Garden.

Li Rui was waited by the subordinates to bathe and change clothes, and then went to sleep.

Those subordinates who helped Li Rui bathe secretly went to reply to Gu Qing, saying that Young Master Rui had a lot of wounds on his body, and there were also scabs on the inner thighs that had just formed a scab, which should have been worn out by horseback.

Although it wasn't a major injury, Gu Qing still couldn't hold back all of a sudden, and his eyes turned red.

Gu Qing was originally very uncomfortable in her heart, whether she was beaten or scolded before, whether she was happy in her heart when she looked at those little girls, it was all to suppress the worry and self-blame in her heart, she knew that Li Rui must have worked hard to get back safely, and now when she heard people's returns, she knew how dangerous Li Rui was on the way.

No wonder I lost weight again when I came back this time, and I didn't even have the baby fat on my face!

Watching him grow up day by day and become self-reliant day by day, Gu Qing's heart was not only relieved, but also had a lot of loss.

She thought she must have been too deep into the play and couldn't extricate herself.

Li Rui was accustomed to getting up and rushing to go after a moment of sleep during the trip, and when he returned home at this time, he slept on the soft bed at home, and he only woke up after sleeping for an hour.

Li Rui opened his eyes, and he had a feeling that he didn't know where he was. In the past nearly a month, he has spent every day in a hurry, and he has become accustomed to sleeping in different places and sleeping in different beds when he wakes up, and at first glance in a familiar room, he still thinks he is dreaming.

He sighed, he hadn't dreamed in a long time, he had fallen asleep.

This is probably the after-effects of the rush, right?

Seeing him get up, a girl hurriedly brought a basin of water and washed him. Li Rui sat on the chair, the girl combed his hair, his back was tight, ready to jump up at any time, and his face was not very good-looking. The girl combed her hair a few times, and when she saw that Young Master Rui's face was so scary, she also trembled.

Li Rui tried his best to relax himself, and kept secretly saying in his heart, "You have gone home, it is safe here, there are no assassins and no pursuers, this is the girl who combed your hair, she is a member of the family", and recited it silently several times in a row before he came back to his senses.

The little girl trembled and finished combing his hair, and held the mirror to show him. When Li Rui looked in the mirror and saw that he was combing his bun again, he was a little uncomfortable.

He either wore his hair in a disheveled hair outside, or tied it up casually, and it seemed that he hadn't combed his hair in such a neat bun for a long time.

Li Rui looked at the two small bags on his head, and suddenly felt that he was naΓ―ve again.

Hey, wait another two years. Wait another two years to get rid of the hammerhead.

In the palace, Li Mao and Wang Zhiming and others accepted the emperor's reward, Wang Zhiming assisted the horse farm this time, and after the official department confirmed, I am afraid that he will be promoted.

And Li Mao's military department, the military department is not young, and now seeing that he is about to raise a sword again, he is unwilling to toss anymore at an age, and he has the heart to make a seat for Li Mao, so he handed over the old man to return to his hometown in the past few days. The emperor has already approved.

If there is no accident, Li Mao is afraid that he will become the youngest scholar in the six departments.

The Hu people brought into Beijing by Li Mao, because Chu Rui had other ideas, asked the protocol of Honglu Temple to properly accommodate them, and gave them a banquet, and the others waited for the court meeting tomorrow to give rewards.

More than 1,000 people escorted back by the Western Army, because they were involved in rebellion, were not pressed into the prison of the Criminal Department, but were imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, waiting for the interrogation of the Criminal Department, Yushitai and the three divisions of Dali Temple.

Li Mao discussed with the emperor until late at night before returning home.

Li Mao came out of the palace, refused the kindness of the others, rode his white horse alone, and slowly returned to his home in the inner city.

He saw from afar the lanterns left for him in his house, and the subordinates who greeted him with a smile from afar, and his heart was hot.

At this time, it was so late, but the family was still waiting at the door, the house was brightly lit, and it was obvious that his mother had not rested yet, so she had left a light for him.

He entered the door and asked the housekeeper, and it was so. Gu Qing had already instructed that if he returned to the mansion, he must go to Zhiyun Courtyard first, no matter how late it was.

In the Zhiyun Courtyard, Gu Qing really did not rest. Li Rui and Li Ming's two children have already rushed her back to the West Garden. Anyway, these two children have a bunch of endless words, which is just for Li Rui to relieve the depression for a while.

And she stayed in the Zhiyun Courtyard, waiting for Li Mao to return home.

When Li Mao didn't come back, she kept thinking about why he hadn't come back yet. The big time bomb in the Splendid Courtyard, as well as the emperor's handwritten letter in her porcelain pillow, stimulated her nerves every day and night, although she was dressed as the old lady of the Xinguo Mansion, she has not been able to substitute into the role of "mother-in-law" and "mother", she regarded Li Mao as a savior, just waiting to throw off these two hands-off potato.

But this time Li Mao came back, and Gu Qing was worried about how to tell him these things.

She struggled and hesitated like this, and finally heard the report that Li Mao had entered Zhiyun Courtyard, so she had to cheer up and sit upright and wait for Li Mao to come in.

Li Mao entered the house, first kowtowed to Gu Qing, and then roughly talked about his experience. What he said was roughly the same as in the emperor's letter, but with a few more details. Gu Qing listened to Li Mao's experience, and felt that it was really not easy for this man to support the family business, and when he thought of the Fang family in the backyard, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Her husband and children are all motivated, what the hell is she talking about!

Gu Qing listened to Li Mao's words, and then ordered his subordinates to go down, took out the handwritten book given by the emperor from his arms, and handed it to Li Mao.

"I am a woman's family, and I don't know the righteousness of so many families. All I know is that you and the children can't be fine. You have to think about this matter, we would rather not be rich and powerful, and there can be no more mistakes! Gu Qing said with a serious expression: "You were in danger before, and the emperor has already given up. If you can, you can refuse. ”

What she said was that the emperor mistakenly thought that Li Mao had been killed, and revealed to the queen that he wanted to change his candidate.

Li Mao was confused by his mother's words at first, and when he opened the letter, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.

"Mother, this matter is indeed very important, and my son needs to think about it again." Li Mao put away the letter. "When I was not at home, my mother suffered a lot, and I was worshiped by my son first......"

"Don't panic first!" Gu Qing grabbed Li Mao with a headache. "I have other things to do, it's about your daughter-in-law's ......"

Li Mao was pulled by his mother and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with her?" Is it that I am not at home and that she has offended her mother? ”

"She did a big mistake when you weren't home......"

Gu Qing didn't want to hide it anymore, this Fang clan had become a problem in the Xinguo Mansion, and it had cast a shadow on the whole mansion. This matter will be resolved sooner or later, anyway, he will know the way when he returns to Dongyuan, so he will simply explain it at one time.

Gu Qing started with Li Rui's fever after being whipped by Li Mao. She talked about how she found out that Li Rui's gold sore medicine was mixed with dirty copper filings, how Mama Hua reminded her that Li Rui was unusual, and how she had already found out how the husband and wife were preparing to raise this nephew, so she reached out and moved Li Rui into the West Garden.

Li Mao in this paragraph is both red-faced and red-eared, and his heart is cold.

He himself didn't know how he was blinded by lard at that time, and he always felt that the position of the prince of the country was not right, and he was worried that one day he would be taken away again, which would make the world laugh, so he did such a wrong thing.

But it is true that he never thought of killing Li Rui.

Li Mao swore to the sky and said that he had absolutely not done anything to put something in Li Ruijin's sores medicine, Gu Qing didn't say much, lightly turned over the topic, and then talked about how the Fang family suspected that she was charmed by demons, and was bent on finding a god and witch to exorcise evil spirits in the mansion, and raised a goddess in the mansion.

Li Mao heard that another goddess had appeared, and anger grew in his heart.

Gu Qing went on to say that on the thirtieth day of the first lunar month, she came back from the court, how was she frightened because of the emperor's handwriting, and she was overworked and fainted. How did the Fang clan find this goddess who was ready to exorcise evil spirits for him, but was stopped by Li Rui and Li Jun, tied up the goddess, and bit out the witch Gu during the interrogation, and found a fake puppet with Li Rui's birthday written on it in her side courtyard, etc.

By the time Gu Qing said "Witch Gu", Li Mao's face was already like ashes, and he couldn't make any sound.

"Rui'er and I both think that she was framed by someone taking the opportunity to frame her, your daughter-in-law is not so stupid, she hasn't destroyed things for so long. But there must be something wrong with the goddess who entered the house, and there must be something wrong with the person who introduced her. Later, Mama Liu, who led the goddess into the house, was tied up by me and thrown into the torture room, but somehow she broke free of the rope and killed the Chu witch, and Mama Liu herself died in the torture room inexplicably. ”

Gu Qing trembled when he thought of this, and he didn't know how many eyeliners there were in this mansion. "I had to enter the palace and ask the queen to find a way to ......"

"Mother has already informed the queen of this?" Li Mao was dizzy for a while, "The queen persuaded her mother to deal with my wife?" ”

Gu Qing nodded.

Li Mao trembled his lips, not daring to ask whether it was a violent illness or a vicious disease.

He couldn't imagine it anymore.

"The queen asked me to choose for myself, whether to report illness or pregnancy. I chose to report my pregnancy ......"

Li Mao felt that he was alive again.

"The queen ordered a imperial doctor to come to the house, but found that the Fang family was really pregnant......

If it was usual, Li Mao would definitely be ecstatic at this news, but at this time, when Gu Qing said it, his heart was desolate, and he couldn't even pull out a smile.

At this time, the child ......

"I want to keep this child, but I'm afraid that the Fang clan has been tossing so much, so I can only see her in the Splendid Courtyard and don't come out. I took over the housekeeping and let her only take care of the baby. But this fetus is getting worse and worse the more it is raised, and I can't stand it anymore. ”

"If she wants to do this again, no one will punish her, she will kill herself first."

"I see that your daughter-in-law is already a little frightened, and it seems that everyone wants to seek your position as the prince of the country, even I am evil. I told her that she was really pregnant, but she didn't believe it and always felt like we were going to hurt her. Her fetal breath was weak, and the imperial doctor prescribed medicine to her, she didn't dare to drink it, and she couldn't sleep all night, only Ming'er could sleep well with her. I see that Li Ming hasn't rested well this month, and he has been so thin that his chin is exposed......" Gu Qing sighed. "I can't take care of this matter, since you have returned, you can handle these things yourself."

Gu Qing had already thrown all the embarrassing things to Li Mao, and his heart was much more relaxed. She wasn't good at these private things in the first place, not to mention that she always felt that she was an outsider, and it was not appropriate to care about them.

Today, she tore through the illusion that Li Mao and his wife had been maintaining, and pointed out that she already knew everything, as for what Li Mao would do, she would only look at it and would not say more.

It's just that she looks at Li Mao's expression, I'm afraid that she already has a knot in her heart.

Li Mao walked out of Zhiyun Courtyard with a blank face, and he didn't even know how to go back to the Splendid Courtyard.

The second gate of the Splendid Courtyard is really guarded by a healthy woman as her mother said, and the original mother-in-law is gone.

As soon as they saw him go back to the backyard, the people in the entire splendid courtyard seemed to have found a savior, running around to tell each other, shouting "Master is back"!

After a while, first the four embroideries came out to take a look, and after a while, the Fang clan also stumbled to appear at the door.

Li Mao has been hovering in his heart Gu Qing's words, copper filings, witch Gu, and the incident back then, each of which is like a sledgehammer, hitting his heart heavily.

Fang looked at Li Mao standing at the entrance of the courtyard in disbelief, and two lines of hot tears welled up at once.

During this time, she was like falling into a hell of a nose, unable to live or die, only her son could bring her a little comfort. When she saw Li Mao at this time, she was surprised and delighted, and she only felt that all the grievances would be washed away.

Fang Shi leaned against the door and said "Master" as usual, but when he saw Li Mao frowning, he suddenly felt a panic in his heart.

Was the old lady talking to him about what? Or did Li Rui say something to him?

She had waited for him for so long, like she had waited for a lifetime, how could he have such an expression?

Fang Shi was shocked and frightened, angry and anxious, his heart was excited, and he didn't catch his breath......

My eyes went dark and I fainted.

Seeing that his wife had fainted, Li Mao hurriedly rushed forward to pick up the person from the ground, and hurriedly called someone to call the Hu family doctor to come.

He used to hug Fang's before, but this time he hugged it horizontally, only to feel that there were only bones left, he just saw Fang's appearance that the wind could blow away, and thought that she still had a child in her belly, he couldn't help frowning, and was about to open her mouth to let her go back to the house, but he saw her faint.

He put his wife on the bed, pinched her people, and smeared some menthol, the people under him had already been tortured by the Fang clan's recent gods, and they didn't dare to step forward. only listened to Li Mao's orders.

After a while, Fang finally woke up.

As soon as she saw Li Mao sitting in front of the bed, she hurriedly tugged on his sleeve and said with a sad expression: "I didn't do anything!" It was the old lady and the queen who wronged me! ”

Li Mao originally wanted to press this matter first, and wait for the Fang clan to take care of his body and sit on the fetus before talking about this, but as soon as the Fang clan was sober, he didn't think about anything else, and first confessed that he was wronged, and he didn't feel that he was wrong at all.

Li Mao's forehead jumped violently, he slammed the bedpost, and shouted "go out", driving the people in the room clean, then turned his head, looked at Fang who was frightened by him, and asked three times in a row:

"Then let me ask you, what's the matter with the copper shavings?"

If Li Rui died, he would have to bear the sin of "uncle whipping his nephew" for the rest of his life, where did she have the courage to trap him in such unkindness?

"Let me ask you again, who found the goddess?"

That's! He was raised with hard work, and today he is regarded as a demon by his wife!

"And ......" Li Mao looked at the Fang clan whose face was getting paler and paler, and his heart was also full of sadness. He has hidden this secret for so many years, and he dare not tell anyone about it, like a thorn in his heart.

"The night my sister-in-law fell into the water, I was sick in my father's room, where did you go?"

As soon as he finished asking, Fang Clan screamed and covered his ears.

"It's not about me! She jumped on her own! ”

The author has something to say: good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, it is not that it is not repaid, the time has not yet come
