Chapter 57: Hurts self-esteem

After walking out of the Hibiscus Courtyard, Madame Yu turned her head and asked, "Sister, do you say that the princess can conceive a little prince this time?" ”

Mrs. Liu shook her head, crying and laughing: "I'm not a doctor, how can I know?" It's you, who suddenly pulled me to Fuyuan on a whim, it's so abrupt! ”

"What's wrong? Didn't I prepare a gift for my sister in advance? Mrs. Yu's apricot eyes narrowed, and she said thoughtfully: "Sister, after I went back yesterday, I thought about it and thought that it was very likely that the princess instructed Mama Gui to frame Jin Mei, and then bite out the one in the Fuyuan Courtyard through Jin Mei's mouth!" ”

Mrs. Liu hurriedly covered Madam Yu's mouth and looked around, "Shh, there are some things that can't be said nonsense!" ”

Pulling Mrs. Liu to the bamboo forest on the side, Mrs. Yu leaned in her ear and said: "Sister, Mama Gui was a person next to the Queen Mother before, she and Gu Jinxiu have no grievances, why else is it not instigated by the princess?" ”

"The princess is favored by the prince, and her identity is more noble than ours, so the two of us can't threaten her at all, and we are not her opponents. It's true that the prince hates Gu Jinxiu, but she is also a side concubine, and seeing that she even treated an old man like Mama Gui yesterday, she is definitely not a good stubble. ”

"By the way, the assassination that night, maybe she deliberately arranged it. In order to avoid the palace, avoid the princess, and take the opportunity to be alone with the prince to seduce the prince! ”

Mrs. Liu's eyes widened, and she said suspiciously: "Sister, but Concubine Gu said that the prince didn't touch her......"

Mrs. Yu glanced at Mrs. Liu, and snorted coldly, "Sister." You're stupid, too! People said that the prince didn't touch her, because they were afraid that the princess and we would attack her after knowing that she was pregnant with a little prince! ”

"Ruthless, this woman was able to jump off the cliff in order to make a show, it's really ruthless!"

After listening to Mrs. Yu's analysis, Mrs. Liu seemed to know her for the first time, with admiration on her expression and a little shock.

Mrs. Yu touched her face and wondered, "Sister, what are you looking at me like this?" Is there anything on my face? ”

Mrs. Liu gave a thumbs up. She said, "Sister, I didn't expect you to be so smart. ”

Mrs. Yu proudly raised her chin and stroked her sideburns hair, "Sister has won the award, sister and I have always been like this, but I just hide it deeply." ”

"As long as Gu Jinxiu and Yin Suwan fight to the death, we can watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"After the princess abdicates, let's continue to clean up Gu Jinxiu, a little slut!" Majestic and high-spirited, she confidently pulled Mrs. Liu out of the bamboo forest.

After the two of them walked away, a figure behind the fence quickly ran towards the courtyard.

Prime Minister's House. In Gu Jinxiu's Fangfei Courtyard, the eldest lady rubbed her eyebrows because of her quarrel, and said helplessly: "It's okay if you want to go to Xuanwang Mansion, but for what reason and in what capacity do you go?" ”

Gu Jinxiu tugged at the handkerchief in her hand, blushed and said, "Mother, what if...... If my father or eldest brother goes to King Xuan's Mansion to visit King Xuan, then I can't go with him. ”

"Jinxiu, mother knows that you like King Xuan, but should you also take care of your identity? No matter how you say it, it's your daughter's family, and you have to know how to be reserved. The eldest lady sighed. Said slowly: "Besides, although your father has close contacts with King Xuan behind his back, he can't come to the door so blatantly, otherwise he will definitely fall into the mouth." ”

Gu Jinxiu pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, King Xuan is injured, his father is the prime minister, and his eldest brother is a servant of the Criminal Department. ”

"And ...... Mother, didn't you also want your daughter to marry King Xuan? In the future, King Xuan ascended to that position, and his daughter is the mother of a country, and his father is the abbot of the country, so let's take care of the family......"

"Shut up!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout behind him, which frightened Gu Jinxiu's body.

When I turned around, I saw Gu Huai standing at the door with a gloomy face.

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master." ”

Gu Huai glanced at the eldest lady coldly, and then glared at Gu Jinxiu, "If these bastard words just now reach the ears of outsiders, don't say that your little life is gone, even your father and me, and the entire Gu family will be affected by you!" ”

Gu Jinxiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and whispered unrelentingly: "Father, what I said is the truth. ”

"The facts?" Gu Huai flicked his sleeves, sat on the chair, and said coldly: "What fact?" Tell me who taught you those words! ”

Gu Jinxiu glanced at the eldest lady, and said with a stiff neck: "Father, I like King Xuan, and when I saw him for the first time, I secretly agreed." ”

"Although I have only had a limited number of contacts with him, I can feel that King Xuan must be interested in me. Since my father supports him, isn't it natural for me to marry him? ”

Gu Huai slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "When did I say that I would marry you to King Xuan?" is so ignorant of etiquette, righteousness and shame, what man dares to marry you? ”

"Father, I am the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you don't marry me to him, who else can you marry him? It can't be Gu Jinli's little slut! It was probably Gu Huai's last sentence that hurt Gu Jinxiu's self-esteem, her red eyes clenched her fists, and her chest rose and fell with emotion.

A few years ago, she hid behind the screen in the flower hall and secretly looked at King Xuan, who came to the mansion as a guest, he behaved nobly, talked elegantly, and from the doctor's mouth, she learned that Gu Huai wanted to support King Xuan to ascend the throne, so she was moved and secretly decided not to marry King Xuan.

Her mind is so obvious, naturally she can't hide it from the eldest lady, fortunately, the eldest lady also wants King Xuan, but she still requires her to wear a veil before she has a handful of eight characters, first, to maintain a sense of mystery, and secondly, if King Xuan does not succeed in the future, she can also find another goal.

Later, as Gu Jinxiu grew up, the eldest lady also tested Gu Huai's attitude several times, but Gu Huai did not support it but did not oppose it. I'll just talk about the future later.

Half a year ago, after knowing that King Xuan had accepted a concubine named Ah Bao, Gu Jinxiu couldn't help it, and the jealousy and anger in her heart were like grass growing in, drowning all her reason.

That night in the back garden, she stopped King Xuan, took off her veil, and showed her heart shyly and timidly.

King Xuan was not surprised by Gu Jinxiu's sudden confession, and smiled like a breeze and a moon, drunk her entire heart.

After that, she had contact with King Xuan several times behind her father's back.

Of course, the eldest lady didn't know that what should have happened to them had happened, and Gu Huai didn't even know it.

When Gu Jinxiu injured Yin Suwan's leg due to an accident, the marriage decree that landed in the Prime Minister's Mansion knocked her into the abyss.

Fortunately, the eldest lady was thoughtful and immediately thought of a way to marry on behalf of her, but it may be difficult for her to marry King Xuan as a concubine in the future.

After all, the identity of the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not as noble as the status of a concubine.

Although King Xuan had never seen Gu Jinli, he had also heard of this illegitimate daughter who had been in exile for many years, so while comforting Gu Jinxiu's huge psychological gap from a concubine to a concubine, he promised that no matter what her identity was, he would not mind, let alone fail her.

In the face of King Xuan's affectionate style, she fell deeper and deeper, like in a quagmire, unable to extricate herself.

However, listening to Gu Huai's words just now, it seemed that he would not agree to her marriage to King Xuan at all!

Sensing that the look on Gu Huai's face was getting more and more ugly, the eldest lady poured a cup of tea, brought it to him, and said softly: "Master, Jinxiu is unintentional, don't be angry." ”

"Bang", throwing the cup on the ground hard, Gu Huai said sharply: "Have you a mouth? If it weren't for you, a mother, who said something she shouldn't have said in front of her, how could she ......"

Taking a deep breath, he wiped away the gloomy dark current in his old eyes, and said slowly: "From the moment Jinli married into King Ning's Mansion on your behalf, you are no longer my Gu Huai's daughter-in-law, understand?" ”

"In addition, there are two young ladies in the mansion, Jin Yu and Jin Yao, and in comparison, any of them are more suitable than you to marry King Xuan as a side concubine!"

"Father, I am the daughter of you and your mother, why do you do this to me?" Gu Jinxiu listened, tears burst out of her eyes, and she said hysterically: "You know that I like him, why would you rather cheapen those two cheap girls......

"Smack", Gu Huai slapped Gu Jinxiu in the face.

After the fight, not only the eldest lady was stunned, but even he himself was stunned.

"Jin...... Jinxiu ......" Gu Huai looked at Gu Jinxiu, who was covering his face and looking at him with hatred, his hands trembled a little.

"Father, I hate you!" glaring at Gu Huai fiercely, Gu Jinxiu ran out crying.

"Get out of here!" I don't know who I bumped into when I was at the door, but I heard her roar again.

Gu Huai looked at his hands, with a look of remorse and self-blame: "I ...... How could I hit her? ”

Gu Jinxiu is the pearl of his and the eldest lady. has been pampered, they have been reluctant to touch even a single hair of her over the years, how have they ever touched her?

Even if she is sometimes willful, she is generally a good child who understands the rules and knows etiquette.

However, today's Gu Jinxiu, just lost control of her emotions, and scolded her sisters as a "slut", which really made Gu Huai unbelievable......

But no matter what, he still felt a little guilty about hitting her.

"Jinxiu!" The eldest lady knew Gu Jinxiu's temperament the most, and she was worried that she would do something extreme, so she immediately chased her out.

When she arrived at the door, she paused and said with a cold face: "Jinyao, what are you doing here?" ”

What happened in the house just now, Gu Jinyao could see it clearly and hear it clearly.

She never thought that Gu Huai would say that she and Gu Jinyu were more suitable to be the concubines of King Xuan, so she was stunned at the door with excitement and excitement, and also ignored Gu Jinxiu's gaffe.

After hearing the voice of the eldest lady, she came to her senses.

Gu Jinyao whispered, "I'...... My mother asked me to come over and ask my dad if he would stay in Wutong Courtyard tonight. ”

Wutong Courtyard is the courtyard of the third aunt, and the eldest lady listened to it and said sharply: "Go back!" Didn't you see that your father was tired? ”

"Yes, Mother." Frightened by the eldest lady's cruel eyes, Gu Jinyao ran faster than a rabbit.

"It's all foxes!" The eldest lady scolded and hurried to Gu Jinxiu's room.

At the same time, Gu Jinli, who had just left the gate of King Ning's mansion, met Qi Hao, who had just gotten off the carriage.

Gu Jinli didn't expect Qi Hao to go down to the court so early today, she was stunned at first, and then saluted slightly: "The concubine has seen the prince." ”

Qi Hao let out a "hmm", and after taking a step, he turned around and said with a puzzled expression: "You are getting bolder and bolder, and now you don't need to inform the king when you leave the mansion?" ”

Gu Jinli lowered her head and said in a deep voice: "The prince is not in the mansion, and the concubine naturally dared to leave the mansion after consulting the princess." ”

After hearing this, Qi Hao sneered: "The princess treats you kindly!" ”

Flicking his sleeves, he warned in a warning tone: "It's okay to leave the mansion, if you cause any trouble to this king outside, this king will not spare you!" ”

With a cold snort, he took Qin Feng and Du Jiang into the palace compound.

Gu Jinli resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and also took Aiyue into the carriage.

Aiyue lifted the curtain and looked outside, pouted and said, "Miss, the prince didn't ask anything, and it was really strange to let us come out smoothly." ”

Gu Jin's eyes moved slightly, hooking the corners of her lips: "Even if he asks, I won't tell the truth, so why bother talking?" ”

Last time, she did go out with Yin Suwan's permission. This time, she slipped out on her own.

Even if Qi Hao and Yin Suwan mention it, for the sake of Mama Gui, I believe they will turn a blind eye to her and let her go......

Leaving the teahouse that day, Chen Liang said that the teahouse could be renovated within two days at the earliest, so she took Aiyue to see the progress.

Thinking of something, Aiyue asked, "Ah, by the way, miss, you haven't told the slave what the hell is going on when we come out!" ”

Gu Jinli smiled faintly: "How about going around casually when you are idle, how about going to the teahouse to drink tea again?" ”

After hearing this, Aiyue said happily: "Okay, the slave hasn't come out for a good time!" ”

After the carriage walked out of King Ning's Mansion for some distance, Gu Jinli still found an excuse to send the coachman back like last time.

In the clothing shop, Aiyue looked at Gu Jinli, who was dressed in men's clothes, and said puzzledly: "Miss, if we go shopping, how can we buy women's rouge gouache when we dress like this?" Clothes and jewelry? ”

"Aren't these things in the palace enough for you?" Gu Jinli tapped her head and said in a low voice, "Go to the teahouse first and do something serious with me." ”

After getting out of the clothes shop, the two went straight to the teahouse.

"Miss, has this teahouse changed its name? Yuelai Tea Room is much better than the previous one! Standing at the door of the teahouse, Aiyue pointed to the plaque above her head.

Gu Jinli smiled and didn't tell her that the name was given by herself.

As soon as she walked to the door, the shopkeeper saw her with sharp eyes, and stepped forward excitedly: "Childe, you are here!" ”

After saying that, he shouted loudly inside: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper!" Childe is here! ”

When Chen Liang heard the movement, he immediately came out to greet him: "Childe." ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were so warm and polite to his own young lady, Aiyue couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Gu Jinli nodded and walked inside. While looking at this hall that has been quite distinctive after the initial rectification.

On the first floor is the public tea room, and a circular platform has been set up in the middle for people to play and tell stories.

Go further to the second floor, each private room has a variety of elegant names, the most unique is the third floor, the staircase on the third floor leads to a small rockery, and there is gurgling water between the rockeries.

Moving on, you will see a large field of peach blossoms, and in the depths of the peach blossoms are rows of bookcases with all kinds of books, and next to them are reclining chairs and chairs for resting. It's a private space.

Each floor is set according to the price point and the identity of the guests, which is similar to the white jade building opposite.

I have to say that this Chen Liang was able to decorate the teahouse to the effect she wanted in less than two days, and this person is very efficient and capable.

Following behind Gu Jinli, the boss cautiously asked, "Childe, are you still satisfied?" ”

Gu Jinli shook her fan, "Satisfied, you have worked hard as the shopkeeper." ”

Chen Liang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It's not hard, it's not hard, as long as the son is satisfied." ”

Aiyue's eyes rolled, her eyes widened, and she pulled Gu Jinli's sleeve. "Little ...... Childe, is this teahouse ......?"

Gu Jinli was noncommittal, and looked down the stairs a few times: "There are more guests today than when I came last time." ”

Chen Liang said respectfully: "Thanks to the fact that Gongzi told me about the water used to make tea and the university who chose tea, after changing the tea, it really tastes much better than before." ”

"I just mentioned it a little, but it's still the shopkeeper's intentions." Sitting by the window on the second floor, Gu Jinli motioned for the boss to sit down as well, and asked, "Come here today, there is something I want to ask you for help with." ”

Chen Liang asked, "If there is anything, just ask the son." ”

Gu Jinli pondered for a moment and said softly, "I still have some idle silver in my hand. I want to buy a yard in Beijing. However, it is inconvenient for me to come forward, and I hope that the shopkeeper will be free to help me inquire if there is a suitable house. ”

Chen Liang asked again, "What about ...... What are Childe's requirements for a house? ”

Gu Jinli said in a deep voice: "The courtyard sits north and faces south, the lighting and ventilation should be good, not too big, I like to be quiet, try not to lean too close to the noisy street." ”

After a pause, she added: "It's better to have a new yard, and the price doesn't matter." If it's convenient, even the housekeeper and the guards who trouble the shopkeeper will help me find it well. ”

Chen Liang went through Gu Jinli's words in his mind, and after remembering them, he asked, "Is this house in a hurry to live?" ”

Gu Jinli shook the hand of the fan and stopped, thought about it, and said slowly: "It's urgent to say it's urgent, and it's not urgent to say it's not urgent." In this case, the shopkeeper will help me find a house within two months. ”

Chen nodded and responded: "Okay, don't worry, son, I will definitely find a place for you to agree!" ”

Gu Jinli thanked her, and drank two cups of tea with Aiyue before leaving the teahouse.

"Miss, the last time you went out with Hexiang, was it just to buy this teahouse?" Aiyue's heart is turbulent at the moment. Still digesting the words I heard just now: "Also, you asked the shopkeeper to buy the yard, are we going to leave the palace?" ”

Gu Jinli didn't admit it, nor did she deny it, "What do you say?" ”

"I ...... I'm not as smart as Hexiang, and I can't guess Miss's thoughts. Aiyue scratched her cheeks and said in a tangled way: "No matter where the young lady goes, the slave maid and Hexiang will definitely follow you." ”

"But...... Lord Wang, he will definitely not let us leave, and the eldest lady ......"

"Hey, stop!" Aiyue didn't finish her words, and suddenly a big hand blocked in front of her and Gu Jinli.

The man in front of him flew obliquely into his sideburns with two beautiful eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes raised on the tail horns sparkled and flowed, the corners of his eyes rose slightly, and he smiled charmingly, looking really amorous.

Gu Jinli frowned slightly, and brushed the man's hand away with a fan without a trace, cold but not rude: "The son suddenly stopped me, I don't know what happened?" ”

The man took a step forward, hooked Gu Jinli's chin, put his face up and sniffed, then turned his head and smiled at the attendant behind him: "Zhaocai, this son has not seen such a suitable person for a long time." Tsk, red lips? White, so fragrant! ”

The servant who called for fortune nodded and agreed: "The people that the second prince has a crush on are not mortals. ”

Could it be that this man recognized himself as a woman disguised as a man? Gu Jinli's heart jumped, she took a step back, and her tone was a little colder: "It's a man below, son, please respect yourself." ”

However, after hearing this, the man's slender fingers stroked the broken hair on his forehead with great grace, and said word by word: "What this son likes is men!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Gu Jinli and Aiyue were instantly stunned.

Especially Aiyue, who can stuff an egg in her mouth.

Remove the look of surprise from your eyes. Gu Jinli forced her composure: "Look at the son's suave and suave appearance, a talent, I didn't expect that he is also a person who loves to joke." ”

Arching her hand, she was about to turn around and leave with Aiyue.

"Did this son say that you were to leave?" When the man saw that Gu Jinli was about to run, he immediately waved his hand and motioned to several attendants to surround their master and servant.

Aiyue was scared and said, "Little ...... Childe, what should I do? ”

Seeing this, Gu Jinli looked at the man coldly, "In broad daylight, what does Childe mean by this?" ”

"Ben Gongzi has taken a fancy to you, or go back to the house with Ben Gongzi for a few days. Either ......" touched his chin, and the man's eyes became more and more obscene: "Or this son doesn't mind asking you on the street!" ”

Gu Jinli clenched her fists and said quietly: "The prince is so blind and has no king's law, aren't you afraid that I will sue the official?" ”

After hearing this, the man was not afraid, but laughed out loud, "Haha", "Sue the official? You ask the people on this street, who dares to sue Ben Gongzi? ”

"If you really tell it, I don't know how many times I've been in prison!"

Gu Jinli glanced at the onlookers around her, and when she saw that they were really timid, she knew that this person must be the son of an official family or a rich family. Not only did there be people behind him, but he also did evil more than once.

The reason why I dressed as a man was because I was afraid that my identity as a woman would cause unnecessary trouble.

However, she didn't expect that such a man who could still look at him would be a broken sleeve!

And, by chance, I was bumped into by her?

What a talent, suave and suave, is clearly a ruffian who is outside the gold and jade, and the ruffian who is defeated in it!

While quickly thinking about how to get out in her heart, Gu Jinli delayed the time and said, "I don't believe that Gongzi has the ability to cover the sky with one hand. ”

"Fortune. Tell him who Ben Gongzi is! The man sneered and said to the attendant.

Zhaocai raised his chin, stretched out a thumbs up, and said with a smug expression: "Our son-in-law is Yin Penglin, the second son of Taifu Mansion, who is known as the 'white chrysanthemum chop in the waves' with countless men!" ”

Yin Penglin narrowed his eyes, "Fortune." ”

Zhaocai noticed Yin Penglin's displeasure, and then realized that he was getting carried away, and hurriedly said: "The little one knows his mistake." ”

The second son is seventeen years old, a good man, and the Taifu and the eldest lady are ashamed of their unique habits that are so insulting.

At first, he was also persuaded to change his orientation, but he didn't listen to the second son, and then the old man used the family law in anger, who knew that the second son actually intensified.

As long as it is a civilian man with a little appearance, he will definitely not be able to escape the palm of the second son.

Even those younger teenagers, when the second son's lust is up, he won't let it go......

The eldest prince is famous, and in comparison, the second son is an unsuccessful prodigal, the master has beaten and scolded countless times but it is still ineffective, and in the end he can only let him fall willingly......

Of course, the second son is rampant, and he doesn't dare to attack the children of high-ranking officials and nobles.

The second son is unhappy, he should be afraid that his reputation will be too loud and scare the little boy in front of him, right?

Gu Jinli's eyes were slightly cold, and her red lips opened slightly, "It turned out to be Yin Ergongzi." ”

She never cared about people and things outside the mansion, and after entering the palace, because of the change of identity, she began to learn more or less about some characters in Beijing from the mouths of the maids.

Yin Zike, Yin Suwan, and Yin Suxi are all from Mrs. Taifu, and Yin Penglin is the concubine born to the concubine.

She is the enemy of the Yin family, and the current situation is really narrow......

Well...... Duoduo said that the content of the previous chapter was jumpy, but in fact, it didn't, I wrote it more implicitly. For example, Wanwan asked Mama Gui to light the lamp at the gate of the courtyard, which means that she is going to sleep when Qi Hao comes over tonight, so the next day it is directly Mama Gui who sees the blood on the sheets, understand? Of course, I won't reveal any details in the future, it's all up to you to understand! There aren't any extra manuscripts.,It's all written during the day.,Can't wait.,Please save it.,I'm sorry.。 Many people and things in this are not as simple as they seem, so I write slowly, please understand, thank you! Yin Er's chrysanthemum slash I really didn't mean it! Ha ha
