Chapter 663: Enemies
Those who care about the Shuozhou war report, in addition to the emperor and courtiers, there are also Mu family members and Mu Hongsheng's friends.
Before the messenger returned to Beijing, the Mu family in Shuozhou wrote a letter to report their safety, and asked the messenger to bring it back to the capital by the way, and Mu Hongshang was no exception. Her letter is a little thicker than that of others, in addition to the letters to her grandmother and mother, she also wrote separate letters to Gu Yilan and Xie Shurou.
On the day the war report arrived in Beijing, after Xie Shurou received the news, she couldn't sit still at home, and jumped up and down wanting to go out to find Gu Yilan and ask about Mu Hongsheng's news. However, she had no excuse to visit the Anguo Mansion at all, so she had to ask Gu Yilan to go out shopping in the name of buying jewelry.
When the ladies and ladies make an appointment to go out, they have to set a date in advance, even if Xie Shurou is in a hurry and makes an appointment to meet the next day, it is not possible to get the news of Mu Hongsheng immediately. She was like an ant on a hot pot at home, spinning around.
Fortunately, Gu Yilan was quite considerate, and when she replied to the post and promised to go out, she specially wrote a text message to Xie Shurou, and she didn't say much in it, only two short words "peace".
Xie Shurou received Gu Yilan's news, and her heart was half relieved, but she was still like an ant on a hot pot, scratching her heart and wanting to see Mu Hongsheng's letter immediately, but she couldn't sit down quietly and steadily.
Finally survived the night, Xie Shurou didn't sleep well all night, but she was very energetic, she packed up early in the morning and prepared to go out, wanting to go to Linglong Pavilion early to wait for Gu Yilan, but unfortunately Mrs. Xie asked her to accompany her to breakfast, after breakfast, and pulled her to say that she would do the dowry for half a day, and when she went out, it was already past the hour.
Gu Yilan arrived at Linglong Pavilion early to wait for Xie Shurou, she was about to drink a pot of tea, she had been waiting impatiently, and when she saw Xie Shurou pushing the door in, of course she didn't have anything to say.
"Who should I be, it turned out to be Miss Xie Si." Gu Yilan sneered: "Miss Xie Si has such a big shelf, she has to let people come and wait earlier." β
Xie Shurou did not answer immediately. As soon as she turned around, she first took a big basket from Yingyue's hand, then waved her hand to send the maids away, and then sat next to Gu Yilan, reached out and grabbed the teapot on the table, poured herself a cup of tea, and poured it down in one go.
"You think I'm willing." After drinking tea, Xie Shurou seemed to be relieved: "I originally planned to go out early in the morning and have breakfast with you." Unexpectedly, my grandmother intercepted her, so I had to accompany her to breakfast. After eating, she dragged me to talk at length about the dowry, and I finally got out. β
"I forgot to ask," Upon hearing this, Gu Yilan immediately looked gloating: "How is your dowry?" The emperor has already set a date for you! I'm going to get married at the beginning of September, and I don't have two months to prepare, so it's not normal for your grandmother to be anxious. β
"I don't need you to worry about it," Xie Shurou replied angrily: "My grandmother is very generous, when the time comes, you wait and see, my dowry is definitely not worse than your back then, and I will be a rich woman in two months!" Officially achieve financial freedom, and when the time comes, you can see who can still control me. β
"Hmph." Gu Yilan calmly picked up the teacup, and poked Xie Shurou's heart when she opened her mouth: "I don't know if others care about you." But the emperor will definitely be able to control you, and in two months, you will be the emperor's daughter-in-law. β
"Fake!" Xie Shurou argued unconvinced: "Isn't the emperor afraid that his son will run away with our red clothes, otherwise why would he be in such a hurry to marry me and King Xin?" β
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's fake or not." Gu Yilan snorted coldly: "I advise you not to be too naΓ―ve." β
"If you don't believe me, go and ask the king." Xie Shurou looked very confident: "Without an accomplice, can I pack a ticket to you like this?" Sister regards her future husband as the boss, even if she really closes the door and goes to bed, it's not a big deal, the mentality is correct, and there is nothing that can't be passed. But you ask the king of letters, can he get by? β
"Xie Shurou!" Gu Yilan's whole face was so red that she was about to smoke: "Why is your unobtrusive problem getting worse and worse!" Is this what a girl's family should say? You don't know how to be ashamed. β
"Okay, you," Xie Shurou's eyes were about to roll to the sky: "There are just the two of us sitting here, don't you learn the Tao fakely, okay?" You are already a married little daughter-in-law, don't pretend to be pure, you don't know how to drip that little thing in the couple's room? But if you really don't understand, I should sympathize with you, you've been married for so long, aren't you ......?"
Xie Shurou wanted to continue to ridicule Gu Yilan, but Gu Yilan, who was annoyed and angry, jumped up, she clumped her handkerchief into a ball, and stuffed it directly into Xie Shurou's mouth regardless of it, Xie Shurou dodged back, but unfortunately, the movement was too big, and even the person with the chair turned back.
Xie Shurou, who lost her balance, subconsciously pulled Gu Yilan's arm in order to save herself, and then she was so miserable that she couldn't see it, Gu Yilan also lost her balance, and the whole person fell on Xie Shurou, and the two girls fell to the ground with their chairs, making a huge movement, and the whole store heard it, and the maids guarding the door, as well as the shopkeeper and Xiao Er of Linglong Pavilion were frightened.
"Miss, what's wrong with Miss?"
"Young grandma, young grandma is okay!"
"Oh, what's going on, Miss Xie and Grandma Mu, open the door."
A group of people crowded at the door of the private room and knocked on the door, it couldn't be more lively, but the private room didn't move for a long time, and after a long time, Gu Yilan said through the door from the private room: "It's okay, don't panic, Miss Xie accidentally kicked the chair and tripped over, the shopkeeper, I'm sorry, please change the pot of tea, and then bring some hairpin beads in, let's choose carefully." β
The shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion was relieved a little, he hurriedly found Xiao Er to change the tea, and personally held some delicate beads and hairpins into it.
When Xiao Er and the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion went out to change the tea, Xie Shurou grinned and rubbed her waist: "It hurts me to death, are you so heavy a pig!" β
"You're too embarrassed to complain." Gu Yilan also frowned and rubbed her elbows: "If you weren't open-mouthed, how could you ...... Why aren't you ashamed? There was such a big commotion in someone's store, and I was embarrassed to look up at the shopkeeper's face just now. β
"Shame is also lost with you, what am I afraid of." Xie Shurou completely looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water: "Eh, have you nagged enough?" You think I'm here for you? Serious matters! What about the letter of the red robe? Bring it to me. β
"Really!" Gu Yilan snorted angrily and took out a letter from her arms and threw it directly on Xie Shurou's face.
