Chapter 335: The boat capsized in the gutter
After the bloody scene just now, everyone's original congratulatory joy was long gone, and they reluctantly sat on the table, just wanting to eat the banquet early and disperse early.
During the banquet, Mrs. Gu, Master Gu and the prince and his party finally came out to eat, but their faces were ugly, especially Master Gu, who apologized and flattered the prince during the banquet, but did not get a good look from the prince, and the stiff smile and embarrassment on his face were almost untenable.
The prince's cold and ruthless eyes swept during the banquet, and he saw Gu Mingzhu eating and drinking freely during the banquet, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and he felt that this matter was inseparable from the woman in front of him, he grew up in the palace, and the palace was many times more complicated than this countryside, and he had never seen anything dirty, and this kind of means was simply pediatric.
Listening to the evaluation of the people in the village, it seems that this woman is not ordinary people.
Seeing her sit on the table and eat and drink freely, while they bothered to clean up the aftermath in the backyard, it was like a fire burning in the prince's heart.
Unexpectedly, the boat capsized in the gutter, and this time it was planted in the hands of a woman.
I can't swallow this breath no matter what.
Gu Mingzhu felt the prince's vicious gaze, Gu Mingzhu raised his head, a cold smile crossed the corner of his mouth, raised his wine glass and saluted the prince from afar, he did it himself, turned his head and never looked at the prince again, and still ate and drank by himself.
Prince:.......
This woman doesn't seem to be afraid of her at all, and she dares to provoke him at this time, is she really not afraid of death?
You know, he could kill her at any time.
Still the ignorant are fearless, the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, and the prince looked at Gu Mingzhu with a little more inquiry.
Chu Jing saw all this in his eyes, and quietly brought a wine glass over, blocking the prince's view of Gu Mingzhu, "His Royal Highness the prince, it is difficult to get this Zhengning Village once, on behalf of the villagers of Zhengning Village, I will give the prince a cup." ”
For Chu Jing, the prince still had to give face, and he also picked up the wine glass, the two touched the wine glass, and then drank it separately, and the prince's mood was better.
Chu Jing is such an arrogant person, and he can take the initiative to toast himself, which is already rare.
As soon as Chu Jing's words fell, a burst of inhalation sounded during the banquet.
"It's the prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to our Zhengning Village. ”
"Looking at the luxuriously dressed, at first glance, it is not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness the Prince, our Zhengning Village is going to be famous."
"Look at the prince's clothes, I'm afraid they're worth dozens of taels of silver, right?" A woman looked at the prince's colorful clothes with a look of envy.
"How can it be worth only a few dozen taels, I think it's worth hundreds of taels." Another woman answered, the best clothes in the town are only worth a few dozen taels, and the prince is wearing it, of course, is worth a hundred taels, so that he is worthy of the prince's identity.
Gu Mingzhu listened to the two women talking about the prince's clothes, holding back her laughter. The prince's brocade robe cost a few thousand taels of silver.
He who does not know is not guilty.
The two women thought they were praising the prince, but they didn't know that they were belittling the prince by what they said.
The villagers have never seen such luxurious clothes, in their cognition, these hundreds of taels of silver are sky-high, Chen Zhilan has saved a lifetime of private money, isn't it only a hundred taels?
But the two women did not know their heartfelt words, but they were a naked insult to the prince.
His Royal Highness the Prince's clothes are only worth a few dozen taels of silver, isn't this lowering his identity? Only the clothes worn by these small citizens are worth tens of taels or hundreds of taels of clothes.
The prince's face was gloomy, and his eyes stared coldly at the two women, although the two women didn't know what offended the prince, looking at the prince's eyes, he knew that the prince was angry, and it seemed that he was angry with them, and he had seen the prince's guards just kill Chen Wei, and the cruel method made the two women shudder when they thought about it, and the two of them sat there tremblingly, with their heads bowed and did not dare to speak.
For a while, the people who were excited and admired the prince just now had a new view of the prince, who was uncertain, moody, and seemed to dislike the villagers.
As the future prince, shouldn't the prince love the people like a son and have the world in his heart?
The image of the prince has been greatly discounted in the hearts of the villagers, this prince does not seem to be easy to get along with, very cruel, such a person is really going to become the emperor, and the life of the common people is only afraid that it will be more miserable.
The prince's trip to Zhengning County this time lost the hearts of the people, and what he did disappointed the villagers in him, but the people's hearts were things that money could not buy.
What's more, the prince is such a big man, and his every move is concerned, and it is presumably that these things will soon be passed to the capital and the capital.
Compared with the three princes' petition for the people to plant wheat for disaster relief, who will the people turn to? It speaks for itself.
In this way, the third prince has another bargaining chip in the future competition for the crown, and Gu Mingzhu even secretly thought about whether to learn from the TV series and frame the prince to completely make his reputation stink.
This little episode passed quickly, because the prince was present, the villagers were very uncomfortable and couldn't let go, coupled with the prince's gloomy face, it was terrifying to watch, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.
The reputation of the Gu family in the village during this period of time plummeted, and Master Gu originally wanted to take advantage of Gu Chunhua's marriage to do a big deal, gather people's hearts and save some reputation, so that the people in the village had a better impression of the Gu family, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen on this happy day.
The dishes at the banquet were very rich, which showed that Master Gu had made a lot of money.
But the effect received is diametrically opposite, the Gu family is embarrassed this time, because there are not only people from this village who participate in the restaurant, but also people from other villages, I believe that the matter of the Gu family will spread all over the town tomorrow, and it will give people more capital to talk about after tea and wine.
Master Gu seemed to have aged ten years in one day, and his originally rickety body was even more rickety, and he couldn't wait to bury his head in the ground.
After Gu Mingzhu finished eating, she talked to Li Yanpin and Gu Jinkang for a while, and asked about Mrs. Gu's situation, Li Yanpin sighed, saying that this time Mrs. Gu was afraid that she was angry, and she fainted in bed and didn't wake up yet, as the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she naturally wanted to stay and take care of her mother-in-law.
Li Yanpin wants to stay, and Gu Jinkang naturally wants to stay.
On the one hand, he is worried that Li Yanpin will suffer a loss here, and on the other hand, Mrs. Gu is his own mother after all, and he also wants to do his filial piety.
At this time, if the two of them left Mrs. Gu alone, they were afraid that they would be poked in the backbone by the villagers.
Although the two rooms are separated, the blood relationship is there, and it is inseparable for a lifetime.
Gu Mingzhu didn't object to the two of them staying, so he had to tell them to pay more attention, the people in this old mansion didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp. Although Gu Chunhua is married, Mrs. Gu and Chen Zhilan are still there!
After Gu Mingzhu finished speaking, he turned around and went to find Chu Jing, wanting to ask him if he would stay now or go back with her. She still has a batch of vegetable seedlings to transplant in the afternoon, and the watermelons in the greenhouse on the barren beach to be beaten with vine branches, and the vegetables sent to Baijulou tomorrow will be picked and washed.
