When the three brothers and sisters of Mu Hongshang were in Jiang Shilang's mansion, Gu Yilan had already taken the carriage back to her parents' house. She was in a hurry, and she didn't have time to greet the Gu family in advance before she went back, so Old Madam Mu sent a servant to ride a horse to the Gu family to deliver a post and pass the message.

The distance between the Gu family and the Mu family is actually not far away. It's only a quarter of an hour away by carriage, but although the distance is so close, Gu Yilan doesn't go back often, and after getting married, she has only been back to her parents' house three or four times.

Scholar Gu and his wife are very disciplined, they know that Mu Zhengyi is not at home, and Gu Yilan goes out without her husband on weekdays, so they rarely invite her back to her parents' house. And Gu Yilan's parents, let alone inviting her back to her parents' house, don't even have much contact on weekdays.

Every time it is a New Year's holiday, after Gu Yilan took the initiative to send gifts and letters of greetings, Gu San's grandmother replied to a post, and the relationship between mother and daughter seemed to be polite. In the past few years since Gu Sanye returned to Beijing, the relationship between Gu Yilan and her parents seems to have become more and more divided, and it is not as frequent as when they corresponded frequently in Ningling.

This time Gu Yilan went back to her parents' house, in addition to asking her grandfather, she also wanted to have a good talk with Gu Sanye, hoping that Gu Sanye could work hard in the household and help An Guogong say a few words. But Gu Yilan also knew very well that Gu Sanye would probably not agree easily, but even so, she planned to try hard.

Things are difficult to do, Gu Yilan sat in the carriage and couldn't help but sigh softly. However, at this time, she suddenly noticed that the carriage had slowed down.

"Fang Xin," Gu Yilan didn't open the car window to look out, but directly instructed the maid: "Look what's going on." ”

Fang Xin agreed, pushed the door open a small crack, said a few words to the coachman outside through the crack in the door, and then turned around and replied: "Miss, we arrived at the intersection of Wenxing Street, and just ran into the carriage of Princess Pingyang's mansion, and walked on the opposite side." ”

Gu Yilan nodded clearly. Wenxing Street is narrow, and it is indeed very reluctant to walk two carriages side by side, so it may take some effort for the carriages of the two families to stagger apart. Therefore, she did not hesitate, and directly instructed: "Tell the coachman, go back directly, and make way for the carriage of the princess's mansion." ”

Fang Xin agreed, stretched out her head and commanded the coachman.

It was not easy for the carriage to retreat, and the coachman of the Anguo Mansion tossed for a while before the carriage retreated from the street entrance, pulled over, and made way for the carriage of the Princess Pingyang Mansion. Gu Yilan sat quietly in the car and waited, without urging.

When the coachman finally parked the car, she heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels outside, and the carriage of the princess's mansion rumbled, coming this way. Gu Yilan opened the window and looked out, but saw that the carriage of Princess Pingyang's Mansion did not leave directly, but stopped directly next to her carriage.

Princess Pingyang's carriage almost stopped next to Gu Yilan's carriage, and the distance between the two carriages was only half a foot, and from a distance, it seemed to be stuck in one place.

The window of the carriage on the opposite side was also opened, and Princess Pingyang was sitting in the carriage, looking at Gu Yilan's window through the window, and the two looked at each other through the window, as if they were closer than talking face-to-face.

As soon as she saw Gu Yilan, Princess Pingyang didn't wait for her to say hello, she first said with a smile: "Who is it, it turns out to be the young grandmother of the Anguo Mansion." ”

"Your Highness the Princess." Gu Yilan first bowed her head to Princess Pingyang through the car window, and then said: "The road here is narrow, there is no way to get out of the car and salute His Highness, and I hope Your Highness will not care." ”

"Grandma Mu, where is this?" Princess Pingyang replied with a smile: "This palace wants to thank you for taking the initiative to make way for this palace today." Otherwise, it won't necessarily take much time. ”

Listening to Princess Pingyang's words, Gu Yilan was a little puzzled. When she met the carriage of the princess's mansion, she should not give way, Princess Pingyang deliberately said this, but it made people a little confused.

But doubts are doubts, and kind words still have to be said. Therefore, Gu Yilan replied respectfully: "Her Royal Highness the princess is polite, this is the duty of the courtiers, how dare you get the thanks of Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

"Grandma Mu Da can really speak." Princess Pingyang's Danfeng eyes were slightly curved, and the corners of her lips showed a meaningful smile: "She is beautiful, she knows the etiquette, she knows how to advance and retreat, and she is really likable." Hongu is happy to see you. ”

Princess Pingyang's unstoppable praise made Gu Yilan a little confused. Princess Pingyang she has not seen, she was Mrs. Gu's most proud granddaughter before she got married, Mrs. Gu went out to the banquet on weekdays, and liked to take her out the most, in the years before she got married, she participated in the banquet of Princess Pingyang's mansion more than a dozen times, and Princess Pingyang was actually very familiar, but she had never seen this cold princess smile so cordially at her, and she had never heard Princess Pingyang praise her so exaggeratedly.

"The princess praised it." Because she really couldn't figure out Princess Pingyang's thoughts, Gu Yilan had to be polite according to the routine first: "The courtiers dare not be ashamed." ”

"I'm praising you," Princess Pingyang's lips deepened with smile lines: "I'm obviously sighing." This Anguo Mansion is not a treasure of feng shui, you have only been married into this mansion for two years, and it looks more refreshing. Or Mrs. Mu will train people, you are likable, and your sister-in-law is even more likable. If the most pleasing young daughter-in-law in Beijing is you, then the most painful girl's family is Miss Mu. My favorite thing in Manjing is her, but it's a pity that you have big rules in your house, and this little girl rarely goes out on weekdays, and this palace wants to hurt her, but there is no chance. ”

After listening to Princess Pingyang's words, Gu Yilan was even more confused, what is Her Royal Highness the princess doing? laid so much foreshadowing, just to praise the red dress like this in front of her? What is this trying to do? Could it be that she wants to protect her baby sister and pull fiber? That's not going to happen!

Princess Pingyang's attitude made it difficult for Gu Yilan not to think about it, so she immediately replied with a smile: "My sister is indeed very likable, so my grandmother baby is like something." The grandmother of the former son also said that her sister is so painful, no matter which family she marries in the future, she feels unwilling, so in the future, the grandmother will carefully select the candidate for her brother-in-law. ”

Princess Pingyang didn't really come to pull fiber for Mu Hongsheng's matchmaker, so Gu Yilan's precautionary gag made her feel a little funny.

She pretended not to hear Gu Yilan's words, but instead directly asked an irrelevant question: "It's not early or late at this hour, where is Grandma Mu going in a hurry?" The ladies of your Anguo Mansion rarely go out on weekdays, and it is really fate to suddenly meet you here today. ”
