Chapter 44: The Birthday Banquet (3)
She has seen Yunrong once, and she doesn't look outstanding, at most she is a delicate and handsome in her eyes, it can't be compared with Shenyuan, not only her appearance, but I'm afraid that this strength is a big difference, she has a hunch, Shenyuan's strength is definitely beyond her imagination, she really regrets it now, why is she so owed, greedy for the heart-protecting jade pendant, now she can't take it off, she accepted the man's heart-protecting jade pendant, and said that she already belonged, and it can be regarded as a marriage contract, but she doesn't even know the origin of the evil god!
"Madame, I'm afraid, I'm already waiting for Miss in the front hall. Bai He suddenly remembered that when she first came, Madame had instructed her to let Miss finish breakfast quickly, and she had been delayed for so long, I don't know if Madame was in a hurry.
Bai He put on a veil for Gu Moxi, cleaned up the porridge bowl on the table, and took Gu Moxi to the front hall.
And Li Qinghe, who was waiting in the front hall, had already drunk three cups of tea, and he couldn't sit still when he didn't see Gu Moxi, and he didn't know if Bai He could call his baby daughter.
"Mother. Gu Moxi walked into the front hall and called out.
"I thought you'd have to stay in bed for a while. Li Qinghe got up, pinched Gu Moxi's nose with his fingers, and quipped.
Gu Moxi kept Li Qinghe's arm with both hands, and said coquettishly: "Even if I want to sleep a little longer, I can't let my mother wait." ”
"As long as you can talk, let's go. Li Qinghe enjoys the closeness of her daughter very much, for so many years, her happiest time is when her daughter wakes up, although it is like a different person, but it has become the most anticipated appearance in her heart.
Who can know that in fact, the previous Gu Moxi has died, and a soul has already been replaced in this shell.
Gu Moxi actually thought about telling Li Qinghe and Gu Zhentian, but if she thought about it carefully, there was still something wrong, not to mention whether they would believe her, even if they did, what could they do, it was just to add sadness. Since she occupies this body, she has nothing to do, she can only treat these two cheap fathers and mothers well, anyway, she has nothing to worry about in modern times, so it is better to treat this place as her home.
"White lotus. Gu Moxi beckoned to Bai He, and then helped Li Qinghe to walk towards the door.
"Yes. Bai He took the brocade box on the table and followed behind his young lady and his wife.
Outside the General's Palace, a carriage was parked and waiting for them.
Seeing Gu Moxi and Li Qinghe appear at the door, the maids on the side hurriedly walked towards the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and after the carriage left, they stood back in front of the door.
As soon as Gu Moxi sat down, the carriage galloped on the street, different from usual, today's night city seemed to be extremely empty, because it was the city lord's birthday, so the merchants and small traders did not go out again, there was no need to open today, the city lord's mansion would send the city deacon to distribute the happy money.
"Mo Xi, when you get to the City Lord's Mansion, just eat, don't pay attention to some people. Li Qinghe said.
Gu Mo analyzed it, Li Wanru, who was talking about herself, and Na Yunrong, one is a green tea who is good at disguise, and the other is a complete scumbag. In the past, she naturally didn't want to pay attention to it, but today it was different, and she couldn't ignore it.
"Don't worry, it's impossible to make me suffer. Gu Moxi took a grape from the fruit bowl on the side and stuffed it into his mouth, and the white lotus on the side also took the stubble: "Madam, don't worry, I will protect Miss well." ”
"Come to me if there's something. "After the meeting goes in, she, a married person, can't stay with these juniors, and every year that night Xiang will hold a flower viewing party in the side hall for the young ladies and sons of the family in the night city to play. In addition, Ye Xiang has another purpose, and she has only figured it out in recent years, and she looks down on this Ye Xiang even more.
"I've got my own measure. She inquired, and there were no more than four of the oldest clans in Night City. The Gu Mansion occupies one, and the rest of the three families are, the Li Mansion, the Yun Mansion, and the Lin Mansion. And she knows about the most outstanding disciples of these three families now, and the most powerful ones are only the pinnacle of the Venerable Rank, so she doesn't need to worry about it at all.
"Don't expose yourself too much. ”
"It's nature. Gu Moxi nodded, she didn't want to expose all her strength this time, she just wanted to get rid of the name of the No. 1 waste wood in Night City.
It's just a chat, the carriage has already arrived in front of the city lord's mansion, Bai He helped Gu Moxi and Li Qinghe get out of the car, only to see a majestic palace in front of them, and at the door is a big stone, carved with the three characters of the city lord's mansion, and the penmanship is vigorous and powerful. This stone was dark all over, emitting a strange light, Gu Moxi could feel a trace of spiritual power fluctuations from it, and for some reason, there was always some familiarity in his heart. "I felt the breath of the spiritual book. ”
"Me too, me too. ”
The voices of Shui Ruo and the Demon Summoning Sword rang out in Gu Moxi's head one after the other.
"Hindsight!"
"Stinky hairpins. ”
"Shut up!" finally calmed down for a while, and then started arguing again, it was really two children.
Gu Moxi just wanted to step forward and touch it, but Li Qinghe grabbed Gu Moxi's hand and said in a low voice: "This cold cloud stone can't be touched." ”
This cold cloud stone fell from the sky a hundred years ago, it is the sky clouds change color, auspicious clouds surround, just fall here, the previous city lord said that this is the sky auspicious, since it fell in front of the city lord's mansion, it is the thing of the city lord's mansion, personally inscribed, carved by the master in the city refining workshop, and this stone was polished, it is the appearance of today. This cold marble is not a treasure of heaven and earth, but there is some effect of gathering aura, but the cold is too heavy, ordinary people can not touch, remember those who participated in the carving, but in five years, they died one after another, even the former city lord died after a month, at the age of eighty, and then no one dared to touch this cold marble.
"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Gu?" At this moment, another, more luxurious carriage stopped beside it, and a woman dressed in an extremely gorgeous manner came down from it.
Gu Moxi saw a chill, what a thick powder this is, she felt that the wind could fall off a layer, and the golden hairpin on her head, she didn't know what kind of local tyrant nouveau riche was. It's just a word, soil, and the clothes she was wearing, why did she look so familiar, it was too much like the ones she had asked Bai He to throw away before.
"Xie Yun, our Dingbei Hou Mansion is not familiar with your Prime Minister's Mansion. Li Qinghe has a cold face, she has always looked down on this Xie Yun, don't talk about this dress, let's just say that this person's personality is extremely mean and loves to make trouble.
"Where did you start with this? Could it be because of the matter between the third prince of Yun and my daughter? Hey, I didn't say it, just like your daughter, no one will like it. Xie Yun didn't care at all, she had always been a person who couldn't hold back her words.
Gu Moxi understood when she heard this, and she came to mock her, isn't it just Yun Rong, she dislikes it if she gave it to her for nothing!
"Xie Yun, did you forget to brush your teeth when you went out this morning?" Li Qinghe really couldn't listen to others insulting his daughter, so he wanted to come forward to repair Xie Yun.
"Why be so angry, I'm just telling the truth. Why didn't you see her today, don't you want to come and see Yun Gongzi every year?" Xie Yun has always been a person who is not afraid of death, and continued, this is the City Lord's Mansion, she doesn't believe that this Li Qinghe can do anything to her.
Gu Moxi stepped forward to block in front of Li Qinghe, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with Mrs. Li today, her eyes are so bad, can't you recognize me?"
Xie Yun looked carefully at the masked woman in front of her, she really couldn't remember who the woman was.
"Who are you? General Gu's concubine?"
"Xie Yun, if I don't knock out your teeth today, I won't call Li Qinghe!" Li Qinghe directly pushed Gu Moxi away, condensed the spiritual power in his hand, and the spirit blade of the immortal rank rushed straight towards Xie Yun.
Xie Yun was also frightened, she really didn't expect that Li Qinghe's courage was really so big!
"Mrs. Gu, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. At this time, Li Heng appeared and blocked Li Qinghe's spirit blade. This woman is all about causing trouble for him, and if she hadn't arrived in time, she would have collected her body today!
"Husband, it scared me to death. As soon as Xie Yun saw Li Heng, it was like grasping a life-saving straw, and he grabbed Li Heng's sleeve with both hands.
At this time, there were already many people from the family around him, and Li Heng felt a little embarrassed and shook off Xie Yun's hand.
"This Xie Yun is really not afraid of death, dare to provoke Mrs. Gu. A certain lady of the family on the side said carefully, who doesn't know that this Mrs. Gu is a violent temper.
"Don't say it, didn't you see Prime Minister Li coming? The middle-aged man next to him was obviously a little scared. "Who is that woman in white?
"I really haven't seen it, is it a disciple who traveled outside the family?"
"Hey, don't say it, although this woman is wearing a veil and can't see her face clearly, but with my many years of experience in reading women, I dare to say that this must be a beauty. ”
Gu Moxi listened to enough praise next to her, these people are all respectful, even if she suppresses the words with spiritual power, she can hear it clearly, she doesn't feel a little funny, and she has many years of experience in reading women, look at the crooked melon and cracked dates, do you have a sister to pay attention to it.
"Prime Minister, it's better to take care of your own dog first!" Li Qinghe sneered, he has to be forgiving and forgiving?
"Mrs. Gu should take care of herself. Li Heng was a little angry, this Li Qinghe has always been so vicious, and when he cleans up Gu Zhentian, he will deal with this woman.
"Mo Xi, go in with your mother. Li Qinghe pulled Gu Moxi towards the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, she didn't want to talk to the beast more, and she was fishy.
"Hmm. Gu Moxi replied and left with Li Qinghe.
"White lotus, take off the birthday gift. ”
"Yes, ma'am. Bai He hurriedly went to the carriage to take off the birthday gift and followed behind. The three of them walked plainly, but the group of people from the small family behind the butt were indeed stunned.
"Did you just hear Mrs. Gu call that woman something?" asked a woman in a long cyan dress.
"Good······ It seems to be Moxi. The man next to him stuttered.
"It's the scrap wood!"
"I really don't recognize it. ”
"What's this, it's just a change of dress, waste wood is still waste wood, and a veil is covered, probably for fear that your ugly face will scare others. A woman in pink said disdainfully, just now those men stared at the waste wood one by one, and they were about to drool, what a bunch of fools!
