Chapter 149: Transgression
The Prime Minister's Mansion has been stable and calm for several days, and everyone in the mansion is busy with their own affairs.
The days are slow and fast, and the blink of an eye is more than ten days.
Early in the morning, there was a bustle in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xu, who didn't know what was going on, took Xia Yun to the door, only to see the little girl who came to pass the news shouting in a panic, "Madame, Madame!" The housewife of the Li Mansion is here! ”
"Li Mansion?" Xu Shi was stunned for a while, and he didn't remember for a while which the housewife of the Li Mansion was.
The little guy ran away again, and Xia Yun on the side said, "The master mother of the Li Mansion must be from Li Chen's family, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." ”
Xu Shi chuckled in his heart, and saw that the master mother of the Li Mansion had already come in, and hurriedly greeted him.
Before Xu could open his mouth to speak, Mrs. Li hurriedly shouted, "My sister has seen Madame!" ”
Hurriedly welcomed Mrs. Li into the main hall, and when the next person saw the tea, Xu Shifang opened his mouth and asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I don't know why Mrs. Li came to the door in person today?" ”
She took out a silk and dipped the corner of her lips, and said with a smile: "Why is Madam so polite, my sister came here today to thank you personally." ”
Xu's face was chaotic, and he smiled busily: "Thanks? I just don't know where this thank you came from? ”
Mrs. Li said again: "Do you remember Li Chen, the second son of our Li Mansion?" A few days ago, I heard him say that he had come to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person, my son was very stubborn, and he never refused to stay at home, I heard that I don't know why he was injured and was saved by your eldest lady, but there is such a thing? ”
Xu vaguely remembered that this was indeed the case, so he had to laugh awkwardly.
As he was talking, Gu Ningyu came in from outside, looking at the lively and lively main hall with curiosity.
Mrs. Li, who was sitting on the chair, saw Gu Ningyu coming towards her from a distance, the smile on her face stopped abruptly, got up and walked in front of her for a long time, clapped her hands and praised: "Sure enough, it is Qingshui out of hibiscus, I didn't expect the famous Miss Gu to be such a beauty." ”
Gu Ningyu didn't know what she meant for a while, and asked in confusion: "Who is this lady?" ”
"This is Li Chen and Li Gongzi's mother, and I haven't seen Mrs. Li yet." Xu Shi hurriedly said.
After hearing this, Gu Ningyu hurriedly saluted and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask if Gongzi's body is better?" ”
Mrs. Li nodded hurriedly and said happily: "Okay, okay, I've got a lot better after taking the medicine given by the girl, didn't I specially prepare a generous gift to thank you!" ”
The two of them chatted for a while, and Gu Ningyu told Mrs. Li some things that need to be paid attention to on weekdays, and then said: "If the prescription is effective, it is best to replace it, whether it is good for the wound or the body." ”
At this time, the emperor's grandson Situ Rui also came to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xu, who was sitting on the side, heard the voice of the next person's report, and was very panicked, thinking about what was going on today, and they all came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Everyone got up and saw Situ Rui, and Situ Rui said, "It's really unexpected. He glanced at Mrs. Li on the side and smiled: "Mrs. Li is also here." ”
Mrs. Li smiled, sat there and stopped talking, and the Xu family on the side hurriedly asked, "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun came here?" ”
"The queen mother learned that Miss Gu had cured her cousin Li Chen's illness, and specially ordered me to come and take a look."
For a moment, both Xu and Mrs. Li showed embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Gu Ningyu only knew that the Li Mansion was the queen's mother's family, no wonder that Li Chen acted so recklessly.
In the side courtyard on the other side, Gu Ningnan was bored all day long, counting the days with her fingers, and every day she woke up and sat in the room with her head in her head and looked out of the window.
There is no longer the usual life.
Bin'er sent tea several times, but there was no change in the tea in the tea bowl.
"The girl has been like this for the past few days, and she is also depressed after getting up, if the girl is really bored, why don't you go out with the girl?"
Shaking her head, Gu Ningnan said boredly: "I don't have the mind to do anything now." Sighing, "The days are going too slowly, and I'm going crazy if it's slow." ”
Bin'er was helpless, shook her head and said in frustration: "Zhizhi Courtyard is very lively, and our side courtyard is indeed like this." ”
Hearing the three words of Zhiyuan, Gu Ningnan instantly lifted his spirit and asked, "What's wrong with Zhiyuan?" ”
"When the slave maid passed by the Zhizhi Courtyard, she heard that it was lively inside, and after asking, she found out that it was the wife of the Li Mansion and His Royal Highness Situ Rui, the eldest grandson of the emperor, who were talking in the mansion, and when they returned to the courtyard and saw that we were so cold here, they were naturally very emotional." Bin'er pouted as she cleaned up the things on the table.
Hearing that Situ Rui was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Ningnan immediately got up, thought for a long time and hurriedly shouted to Bin'er: "Bin'er! Serve me to make up! ”
Although she didn't know what Gu Ningnan was going to do, Bin'er still put down the things in her hand and carefully groomed her.
Knowing that the distinguished guest came to the door, how could there be no Gu Ningnan.
After some tossing, she looked at her charming appearance in the bronze mirror and smiled proudly.
Slowly arrived at the Zhizhi Courtyard, she deliberately went in and pretended to ask for peace for the Xu family.
At that time, everyone was talking and laughing, and when they saw Gu Ningnan coming, the front hall instantly became quiet.
"Say hello to my mother and sister." She stepped forward, respectfully and politely, and then turned to look at Mrs. Li and Situ Rui in front of her, and hurriedly said, "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson and Mrs. Li are also there, forgive the little girl for being rude." ”
Her appearance made Gu Ningyu on the side really sneer. I thought to myself, this Gu Ningnan really thought that everyone else was a fool, what did she say that she met by mistake, but she didn't know that she came here to dress up so carefully today.
After the salute was over, Gu Ningnan turned around and sat down on the chair next to her. glanced at Gu Ningyu opposite, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
As the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Ningyu was sitting in the main hall today, but she was wearing simple clothes, as if she had just come out of the pharmacy.
On the other hand, she wears gold and silver, and even the clothes on her body are the most gorgeous ones she deliberately chooses.
Whoever sees it can see that he is a concubine who is more noble than his concubine.
Without waiting for Gu Ningnan to regret herself, Situ Rui and Mrs. Li on the side had already seen the clues.
Mrs. Li sneered a few words with cold eyes, picked up the tea and said deliberately: "The Prime Minister's Mansion really lives up to its reputation, even the subordinates are dressed very decently and gorgeously." Look at the second lady, forgive me for being clumsy, this fabric alone must be very expensive. ”
"Where, this garment on my body is just a cloth from the old lady." Gu Ningnan said, already feeling empty.
Today's events, to anyone, look like she is trespassing.
Which family in the Gaomen compound is orderly, regardless of the dignity and inferiority? The boudoir women dress on weekdays just in the word ordinary.
Gu Ningnan is so flamboyant, it can be seen that she has never put the four words of respect and humility in her eyes on weekdays.
Mrs. Li is the wife and mother-in-law, so she naturally can't get used to such an identity as a concubine.
Not to mention Situ Rui, he didn't mean anything to Gu Ningnan from the beginning.
Gu Ningyu didn't show it on her face even if she was proud, and she took a deep breath and unexpectedly bumped into Situ Rui's eyes.
She hurriedly bowed her head, refusing to look up at him again.
At night, Gu Linyuan returned to the mansion from the court, and when he heard Xu Shi say these words during the meal, he frowned deeply.
"Is that true?" He asked.
Xu Shi smiled on his face and said lightly: "Before leaving, Mrs. Li specially reminded me of this matter, and I also felt that it was really inappropriate, so I said it to you, master." ”
He slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and sighed: "This Nan'er really doesn't understand the rules, the marriage with Kangfu has already been decided, and the marriage will be held soon, why is he still dressed up so gorgeously to go out to meet guests?" I really don't know the rules! ”
"Even if she is about to get married, Nan'er is also a child, and the master will listen to today's affairs, but don't be angry." While comforting him, Xu Shi instructed Xia Yun behind him: "Is there still the lily and lotus seed soup stewed today?" Bring me a bowl of it. ”
Xia Yun listened to the order and immediately walked away.
When there was no one around, Xu Shi said again: "Nan'er's matter is not important, but the real important thing is that Mrs. Li, and I am really worried that Mrs. Li came here today." ”
He wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu said uneasily: "Mrs. Li came rashly, I am afraid that she will ask to marry again, we have never been in the mansion of the military department, and the queen mother is their clan, it can be seen that ......"
Thinking about it, Gu Linyuan only felt a headache.
It was late at night, and there were all kinds of dinner in the room, and the insects were already chirping in my ears, and the occasional breeze could not resist the anxiety in my heart.
Now everything is imminent, whether it is the affairs of the inner court or the children of the mansion, Gu Linyuan needs to plan.
But everything seems to be closely linked, and if you pull a hair, it will move the whole body.
For a while, he really didn't know what to do.
After a long time, he said slowly: "Nan'er's marriage, you have to worry a lot, as for Yu'er's affairs, let's look at it for the time being, I really don't know what to do for a while." ”
Xu Shi nodded and said busily: "Don't worry, master, I will definitely do my best to do my best in the affairs of our house, and I will also do my best to arrange the Kangfu side." ”
Taking a deep breath, Gu Linyuan stopped talking.
Now, according to the current situation in the court, whether it is the people in the mansion or the palace, it is not the best choice.
But with the two forces of King Yu and King Yong, it was enough to give Gu Linyuan a headache.
It's just that what Gu Linyuan didn't expect was that maybe it was because he never really cared about his children, so he didn't even know when Gu Ningyu became so good.
This is a paradox, a dilemma, and a hint of joy.
