The maid said that the three young ladies who had just left the ten-mile corridor fell into the Xiaoxi Lake.

Xiaoxi Lake and Xihu Lake are of the same origin, but they are separated by a bridge, so they are called Xiaoxi Lake.

Everyone was shocked, and they were worried that something would happen to the three young ladies, so they hurried to Xiaoxi Lake, but when they arrived, they saw that the three had been rescued.

However, the scene on Xiaoxi Lake is quite weird-

The three young ladies were rescued by two fishing boats.

On one of the small boats, there was Xiang Qingshu, who was drenched in clothes and pitifully hugging his chest trembling, and Gu Huaiteng, who appeared here for some reason, stood aside, at a loss, his face was flushed, and on the other small boat, stood Tan Wenshi, who was in a dilemma, and Xue Qianqian and Du Qiutong, who were arguing fiercely and refusing to give in to each other.

The people on the shore saw that the three young ladies were fine, and their hearts were put back in their stomachs, but when they saw this kind of scene, they couldn't help but be confused, even if it could be understood that Gu Huaiteng saved Xiang Qingshu, but what about Xue Qianqian and Du Qiutong, who were arguing, and Tan Wenshi, who was embarrassed?

Grandma Gu San frowned, and just wanted to say something to stop the quarrel between Xue Qianqian and Du Qiutong, but before she could speak, she saw that Xue Qianqian couldn't help but move!

Xue Qianqian landed a few times, and gave Du Qiutong several slaps with her backhand, and the sound of the slap resounded through the lake, which showed how hard he used, and Du Qiutong stumbled because of this, and fell into Xiaoxi Lake from the rocking boat!

Old Mrs. Ning immediately exclaimed: "Save ...... quickly" but before her words fell, she saw Xue Qianqian, who was in a rage, suddenly made a move, and pushed Tan Wenshi unguardedly, and Tan Wenshi also fell off the boat!

And Xue Qianqian didn't seem to understand her hatred, grabbed the pulp on the boat and stretched it into the water, shouting "You guys grab the pulp and climb up", but in fact, she desperately beat Du Qiutong's head with the pulp, and even wanted to press Du Qiutong into the water! If it weren't for the fact that this pulp was not easy to control, Xue Qianqian might really drown Du Qiutong like this!

The frightened Tan Wenshi and Du Qiutong both fluttered in the water, splashing fiercely, although the subordinates of the Gu Mansion had already gone down to save people, it was naturally impossible to go to the two people immediately, Ning Xia Qing stood on the shore, looking at the two people at a loss, and couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.

These are the two people who pushed Ningxia Qing into the lake that symbolizes death in their previous lives! The chill in Ning Ningqing's heart seemed to have formed a thick layer of ice, and her heart was already indestructible because of this.

Ning Xia Qing looked at Xue Qianqian, who was still resentful, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Xue Qianqian really didn't let herself down!

That Deputy Lieutenant Xue is not only romantic, but also whether it is male or female, Deputy Lieutenant Xue has no restraint, from which it can be imagined how complicated the warmth and coldness of the people in the Xue Mansion are, there must be darkness and crime prevailing in the Xue Mansion, and the complexity may even exceed that of a big family like the Gu Mansion, for Xue Qianqian, the reckless violence is the survival law she has cultivated in the Xue Mansion.

In her previous life, after Xue Qianqian followed Tan Wenshi, she also said something to Ning Ningqing, telling some old things that were once in Xue's mansion, such as fiercely resisting several marriages arranged for her by her mother-in-law, fighting with her father's other concubines, and tearing up clothes and jewelry with other sisters...... It can be called wonderful, which makes Ningxia Qing breathtaking.

After tossing for a while, the people of the Gu Mansion rescued Tan Wenshi and Du Qiutong in the water, led the two small boats to the shore, and the five people who were in the spotlight finally returned to the land.

Gu Huaiteng has always been cowardly and has never been in the limelight, but today he has become a figure that everyone is staring at, Gu Huaiteng went from the tip of his ears to his neck. And Xiang Qingshu died long ago because she was soaked.

Even the old fritter Tan Wenshi couldn't hold back, and his face was already extremely ugly. And Xue Qianqian, who has never been afraid of heaven and earth, is already shivering with cold at this moment. As for Du Qiutong's mood at the moment, it is naturally conceivable.

Grandma Gu San was speechless, but in the end, it was still Mrs. Gu who reacted quickly, and immediately ordered: "Come quickly, take a few young ladies to the house, light a brazier, and take care of them." Several maids immediately surrounded them and hugged the three young ladies who had fallen into the water and left.

Old Lady Gu glanced at Tan Wenshi, her expression was very ugly, and she gave the people on the side a look, and immediately a few people came over and lured Tan Wenshi, who was soaked all over, to leave here.

Before the ladies went far, Mrs. Xiang, who glanced at Mrs. Gu and signaled, immediately chased Xiang Qingshu worriedly, Mrs. Xue saw this, so she had no choice but to chase Xue Qianqian, Mrs. Ning pulled Ning Xia Qing to follow, but Ning Xia Qing shook her head and motioned to Mrs. Ning to go over first, and Mrs. Ning had no time to care about Ning Xia Qing at the moment, so she immediately rushed to Du Qiutong worriedly.

The reason why Ning Xia Qing didn't follow over was because Ning Xia Qing knew that the task of a good cousin had been completed, and Ning Xia Qing had to stay and wait for the results in person, and sure enough-

Old Lady Gu was extremely displeased, and asked gloomily, "Aren't you watching the baby?" Why did Brother Teng come here to save people? What the hell is going on? ”

"I ......" Gu Huaiteng opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

Gu Huailang, who was standing on the side, immediately stood up and said: "It was that Tan Ye who suddenly wanted to take the fifth brother to fish, the fifth brother couldn't help it, so he went with Tan Ye, I was curious for a while, so I secretly came over to take a look, and I saw the three sisters fall into the water, Tan Ye rowed a small boat to rescue two of the sisters, and the fifth brother rescued the remaining sisters." ”

When Mrs. Gu heard this, her brows furrowed: "Why did the three young ladies fall into the water?" ”

Gu Huailang scratched his head: "I didn't see it either, when I came over, the three sisters were already in the water......"

Old lady Gu immediately looked at Gu Huaiteng, but Gu Huaiteng said resignedly: "Actually, I didn't know, I didn't pay attention to ...... at that time"

Old Madam Gu was about to get angry, but Concubine Xiao suddenly said lightly: "That's it, fortunately, it's just a false alarm." ”

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she had to swallow her anger.

Concubine Xiao whispered again: "Everyone is tired, so let's go back to the ten-mile corridor to rest." I promised to give a gift to the girl with the best eyesight, but before I could think of anything, let me wander around the garden, and think as I went. Can Mrs. Gu and Second Grandma Gu accompany each other? ”

Since Concubine Xiao spoke, Old Lady Gu immediately signaled everyone to leave, how dare everyone disobey her orders? For a while, the guests of honor walked towards the ten-mile corridor in an orderly manner, while Old Lady Gu and Second Grandma Gu stayed by Concubine Xiao's side.

Ning Xia Qing naturally followed to the ten-mile corridor, but suddenly saw that there was still a leaf flat boat hidden in the dark place at the bottom of the bridge, and the person with rippling eyes was lying on the flat boat, carrying a pot of wine in his hand, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but be taken aback, the man smiled at Ning Xia Qing, and then closed his eyes without caring and continued to wander the world.

Ning Xia Qing walked towards the ten-mile corridor, although he couldn't hear the conversation, he already expected that Concubine Xiao would say something to Old Lady Gu and Second Grandma Gu in a while.

Old Lady Gu and Second Grandma Gu followed Concubine Xiao left and right. Concubine Xiao didn't speak, and neither Old Lady Gu nor Second Grandma Gu dared to say anything.

After walking for a while, Concubine Xiao asked softly: "If I remember correctly, that Brother Teng is in the name of the second grandmother, right?" ”

Gu Er's grandmother didn't dare to say more than half a sentence: "Exactly." ”

"Are you married?"

Second Grandma Gu was stunned, with an expected expression on her face, and whispered with some hesitation: "Brother Teng'er's marriage...... It's not decided yet. ”

Concubine Xiao heard Gu Er's voice, so she asked, "It's not decided yet, so there is already a favorite family, and they are still discussing marriage, right?" ”

Old Lady Gu and Second Grandma Gu glanced at each other, Old Lady Gu sighed slightly, and said, "I am indeed discussing marriage, and it is the girl Ning who just told the story of Liu Yuan." ”

"Oh, it's her." Concubine Xiao said without hesitation, obviously noticing Ning Ningqing a long time ago, and then said: "It is indeed a first-class appearance, even the girls in the Gu Mansion are inferior." ”

Mrs. Gu said: "It's not that I like my appearance, but because Miss Ning's grandmother and I are old friends, so I take a fancy to Miss Ning." ”

Concubine Xiao asked, "It's just that I'm still talking about marriage, right?" ”

Old Mrs. Gu opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak, knowing that this matter was already a certainty, no one in the Gu Mansion dared to disobey Concubine Xiao's wishes, and now she could only grieve the Ning family.

Concubine Xiao saw Old Lady Gu's embarrassment, so she smiled and said, "If it weren't for Mama Xiang who has followed me for many years, I wouldn't have asked for it like this." Don't worry, although I am for the Xiang family, I will not embarrass the family. As for the girl from the Ning family, I will find a way to appease her, please rest assured that the Gu family. ”

Old Mrs. Gu hurriedly thanked her: "Being able to get the concubine as a matchmaker is a blessing that the Gu family has cultivated for several lifetimes, and the old man has thanked the concubine here." ”

When Gu Er's grandmother heard that Gu Huaiteng didn't have to marry the girl from the Ning family, who was born in a small family, but could marry the Xiang family, she was immediately overjoyed, and said gratefully: "Thank you concubine, thank you concubine!" ”

Concubine Xiao just said lightly: "Okay, I'm tired of shopping too, so let's go back." After speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the ten-mile corridor, Mrs. Gu and Grandma Gu hurriedly followed, but when they were about to walk to the ten-mile corridor, they met Ningxia Qing, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but wonder, why did Ningxia Qing appear here?

Old Lady Gu stopped Ningxia Qing and asked puzzledly: "Why don't you stay in the ten-mile corridor, where are you going?" ”

Ningxia Qingfu was blessed, and replied without thinking: "I'm a little worried about my cousin and want to go see her." ”

Concubine Xiao said kindly: "Since your grandmother has passed, you don't have to go anymore, go back to the corridor, I still have something to say to you." ”

Ning Ningqing's face showed a moment of stunnedness, and then nodded very sensibly.

When Mrs. Gu saw Ning Ningqing's reaction, she couldn't help but feel even more pity and pity, took Ning Ningqing's hand, and said kindly: "Don't worry, your grandmother is there to take care of Du Yatou, you can go back to the corridor with us." ”

Ten miles above the promenade.

The person who got the hairpin of Master Sanshui was naturally Gu Yishi, except for Gu Yishi, it was naturally impossible to be someone else.

Concubine Xiao said at this time: "Since Gu San Girl said that the value of this bottle will change with the opinions of the viewers, then from the perspective of Gu San's knowledge, this bottle must be a priceless treasure. ”

Gu Yishi thanked her again and again.

Those who know the inside story know that the person who is selected to enter the palace today can only be the Gu family girl, and the most outstanding girl in the Gu family is Gu Yishi, and Concubine Xiao's gift of the bottle also officially indicates this meaning, and the Gu Mansion can start preparing for Gu Yishi.

Concubine Xiao said: "Among the crowd, only Miss Ning knows the preciousness of this string of pearls in the East China Sea, since Miss Ning is the Bole of this string of pearls, she will give this string of pearls to Miss Ning." ”

At this moment, Ning Xia Qing was really shocked, reacted, and quickly got up to thank him, Concubine Xiao picked up the string of pearls, handed it over to Ning Xia Qing in person, looked at Ning Xia Qing, and lost her mind for a long time.

Concubine Xiao glanced at Grandma Gu San, and Grandma Gu San immediately understood, and said, "The appreciation of treasures has ended, please return to the courtyard where the banquet was just held, and the house will serve snacks and wine in a while." You can also enjoy the garden by yourself, but the terrain in the garden is complicated, so please be careful with your step. ”

After speaking, Grandma Gu San instructed the maids beside her again, so that the maids could raise their hearts and minds, they must take care of the guests, and there can be no more ugly things like the one just now!

Everyone got up to leave, and Ningxia Qing also got up to leave.

"Young girl, wait a minute." Old Lady Gu stopped Ning Ningqing with words.

Ningxia Qing stopped, and the people around gradually left the ten-mile corridor, leaving only Concubine Xiao, Mrs. Gu and Ningxia Qing, Mrs. Gu brought Ningxia Qing to Concubine Xiao, and the person who wanted to keep Ningxia Qing was Concubine Xiao.

Concubine Xiao said flatly: "This string of pearls is not given to you for nothing, when you need it in the future, take this string of pearls to Chengsong County, find the Xiao family in Yueling County, no matter what conditions you offer, someone will meet you." ”

Although Concubine Xiao's tone was flat, the meaning in her words was like thunder! Ningxia Qing was stunned, and Mrs. Gu was also stunned!

Concubine Xiao smiled at Ning Xia Qing and said, "You can step down." ”

"Yes." Ningxia Qingfu was blessed, and then left the ten-mile corridor.

Concubine Xiao asked Old Lady Gu softly, "Is this enough to make up for the Ning family?" ”

Mrs. Gu hurriedly said in surprise: "Niangniang has taken care of the Gu family, thank you to the Gu family!" ”

In fact, just now at the banquet, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Ning had already negotiated this marriage, and the two families had already agreed that it would be officially decided tomorrow, but they didn't expect such a fork. At this moment, Mrs. Gu had to withdraw from her relationship with the Ning family, even if there was a reason for it, Mrs. Gu still felt very embarrassed, and she also felt very sorry for Mrs. Ning.

However, Concubine Xiao made up for Ning Ningqing's promise as heavy as Mount Tai, and deliberately did not explain what kind of power the Xiao family was in front of Ningxia Qing, obviously wanting Mrs. Gu to tell Ningxia Qing that she would give Mrs. Gu a favor and not be so faceless in front of the Ning family.

In this way, Mrs. Gu was really grateful to Concubine Xiao in her heart.

The three girls who fell into the water have been properly placed.

Mrs. Xue and Xue Qianqian were both holding back their bellies, Mrs. Xue found Tan Wenshi and asked angrily, today there was such a scene in front of the public, Xue Qianqian's reputation was greatly damaged, and even affected the entire Xue Mansion, how does Tan Wenshi compensate Xue Qianqian?

Old fritter Tan Wenshi is really helpless, his plan was going well, who knows how a Xue Qianqian suddenly jumped out? Who knows how this Xue Qianqian's temper could be so hot? Now you still want Tan Wenshi to compensate Xue Qianqian?

Facing Deputy Lieutenant Xue's wife, Tan Wenshi could only smile and say a few perfunctory words, promising to be responsible, and then slip away.

However, before he slipped out, he was blocked by Mrs. Ning again.

Old Mrs. Ning is not as fierce as Mrs. Xue, but the meaning of her words cannot be refused, and she is not easier to fool than Mrs. Xue, before Tan Wenshi can deal with it, Mrs. Xue, who is angry, catches up again and wants to reply, it is more difficult to deal with these two women than to deal with Master Ning San! Tan Wenshi had no choice but to promise that he would not damage the reputation of the two girls, so he almost knelt down and swore to the sky.

As soon as Tan Wenshi left, Ning Xia Qingcai, who had been watching the play for a long time, came out of the shadows, walked up to Mrs. Ning, and asked, "How is Qiu Tong?" ”

Mrs. Ning sighed worriedly: "I cried so much that I fainted several times, and after waking up, I continued to cry, desperately biting her own hand, I couldn't pull it off, it was all bleeding, and I didn't dare to pull it hard, for fear that she would be hurt even more." ”

Ning Xia Qing said: "In that case, let's not stay here anymore, let's go home." ”

Old Madam Ning nodded and said, "That's what I said, you go and look at Du Yatou first, don't let her do stupid things, I'll go and say goodbye to Old Madam Gu." ”

Ning Ningqing couldn't help but sigh again and again, in fact, she just wanted to use her strength to let Du Qiutong destroy her marriage with Gu Huaiteng.

Unexpectedly, Du Qiutong was so "capable", and he actually dragged Tan Wenshi and Xue Qianqian into the water together. In this way, Du Qiutong's life will be settled, and Du Qiutong will not only have Tan Wenshi in the rest of his life, but also Xue Qianqian. In terms of Xue Qianqian's heart and temper, Du Qiutong's rest of his life must be "wonderful".

However, the most unexpected surprise is the indebtedness of Gu Fu and the blue eyes of Concubine Xiao.

The group was about to leave the Gu Mansion, and before boarding their own small broken carriage, Ning Xia Qing looked up at the sunny sky, and his heart was clear.

The group returned to Ning's house, and Mrs. Ning informed the Cao family of what happened at the Gu family.

Cao learned that the two old ladies had originally decided, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden accident, and the nobles in the palace pointed out the marriage to Gu Huaiteng and Xiang Qingshu, and Cao couldn't help but be stunned and anxious, and muttered: "Qing'er finally has a good family, how can this kind of thing happen......

Old Mrs. Ning sighed: "In the final analysis, Qing'er and the Gu family have no fate. It's okay to be like this now, otherwise we always have to worry about whether Qing'er will suffer if she marries in the past. ”

Cao's regret was too late: "I regret it in my heart, it's good to make a decision early, it shouldn't be delayed until this time......"

Mrs. Ning hated that iron could not become steel: "Are you confused?" Let me tell you, fortunately we dragged it out to this time, otherwise, I am afraid that today's matter will be more complicated, fortunately, we have not decided, Qing'er can now retreat with her whole body, and she is not implicated in today's incident. ”
