Chapter 217: Where did you get rich?
In the early morning of the next day, the few people who chewed the root of the tongue that Mei Xiaoren arrested last time had not yet been released, and the city was already full of wind and rain, and it was rumored everywhere outside that the prime minister and the university scholars had patronized the Pillow Moon Tower last night......
The rumors started out of nowhere, and they spread vigorously, and Mei Xiaoren had a headache for this, but there was no way to completely quell the rumors, so he could only let the officials pay attention to who was chewing their tongues when they went to the streets to inspect and clean up one by one.
When the matter reached the Guogong Mansion, Ji Nanrou, who had never been able to go out, was very calm.
After the maidservant finished speaking, she emphasized: "Miss, it's all spread like this outside, saying that the prime minister is ...... There is a habit of broken sleeves. ”
Ji Nanrou embroidered the flowers calmly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, senior brother, he must not want to marry Haoyang, deliberately." ”
"The rumors may not be credible, but the slave maid heard that the lord who came to the house said that the prime minister really took the hand of the Meifu Cheng that day, and it was inadvertent......"
"That's it!" Ji Nanrou suddenly reprimanded with a cold face, "I told you to stop talking!" ”
Imperial City, Ci'an Palace.
The Queen Mother was sitting on the couch in the main hall, and the county lord of Haoyang was lying on the Queen Mother's lap and crying loudly, "The Queen Mother, Haoyang doesn't care, Haoyang just likes Brother Yu, and Haoyang wants to marry Brother Yu." ”
"You are a treasure raised by the mourning family, why don't the mourning family want you to marry the person you like." The Queen Mother gently held the back of Haoyang's head and sighed helplessly, "Wei Guogong mentioned this matter to the mourning family before, didn't the mourning family go to ask His Majesty to marry, but Gu Xiang not only didn't accept the order that day, but also wanted to push you to Rong'er, and now there is a rumor that the broken sleeve is like this......"
Haoyang sobbed and said: "I don't believe that Brother Yu likes men, he didn't marry a wife before, he must have not met a woman he liked, and he didn't want to be like Wei Shuying, listen to his parents' orders, and marry a woman he doesn't like to go home." ”
"Since you can think of this, why are you crying, do you think that he will be ordered to marry a woman he doesn't like to go home now?"
The female official on the side persuaded: "County Lord, the Prime Minister held the hand of a minister in front of the palace that day, and this matter is obvious to all adults. ”
Haoyang was angry: "Then I don't believe it, or even if he really likes a man, I want to marry, it's enough for me to like him, nothing else matters." ”
"Ridiculous!" The Queen Mother reprimanded sharply, "You are the county lord adopted by the Mourning family, if the prime minister is really good as Longyang, the Mourning family will also marry you to the Gu family, which makes the Mourning family, Your Majesty, and the entire royal family have no face?" ”
Haoyang stood up and wiped his tears, "Queen Mother, I really like Brother Yu......"
The Queen Mother said: "Okay, unless Gu Xiang comes forward to clarify the rumors, the mourning family and His Majesty will no longer agree to this family business!" ”
"Then I'll go find Brother Yu now."
Haoyang said that he would leave, but was stopped by a person in front of the temple gate.
Jiang Rong glanced at Haoyang and asked calmly, "Where are you going?" ”
"Brother Rong, I'm going to find Gu Xiang." Haoyang whispered.
"You follow Gu Xiang all day long, break into the Prime Minister's Mansion and enter the court, and now that the marriage has been rejected, do you still think that the Jiang family is embarrassed enough?"
Haoyang saw that Jiang Ei's face was a little gloomy, and he had no confidence in his heart, so he lowered his head slightly.
Jiang Rong said coldly: "You are the county lord adopted by the Jiang family, and my father also said that when you get married, you will be canonized as a princess, and the princess is so shy to go to the door to ask others to marry?" ”
"Then what should I do, I want to marry Brother Yu." Haoyang wiped away his tears again.
Jiang Rong walked into the hall, bowed his hand to the queen mother, and said: "Imperial grandmother, grandson thinks that Gu Xiang is not a good man, he just doesn't want to marry Haoyang, so he spread these rumors, he knows that the imperial grandmother and father will take care of the royal family and stop the family affairs." ”
Haoyang was anxious: "You talk nonsense, Brother Yu won't spread any rumors and smear his reputation." ”
The Queen Mother sighed: "Ei'er, do you have any evidence?" ”
Jiang Rong said: "These are just grandchildren's speculations, but it is a fact that Gu Xiang does not want to marry Haoyang." ”
Haoyang burst into tears, "What is wrong with me......"
"But ......" Jiang Rong paused, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said seriously, "Haoyang is the county lord, not a servant girl and slave selected by the family, he is a courtier, where can he say that he doesn't want it, the grandson thinks that the father and grandmother should be stronger in this matter and force him to comply, just like the marriage between the Wei family and the Zhu family, Wei Shuying doesn't agree to marry too?" ”
When Haoyang heard Jiang Ei's words, he swallowed, wiped his tears and nodded: "Brother Ei is right!" ”
"The marriage between the university scholar and Miss Zhu, that is the head of Wei Taishi, Wei Taishi teaches his son strictly, but Gu Lao Prime Minister is majestic in front of people, and he has always been his wife and children at home, even if the mourning family sends someone to find him now, he may not go against his son's wishes." The Queen Mother said worriedly.
"The marriage between the Zhu family and the Wei Mansion, the father is just a marriage, and Haoyang's family affairs, the father and the emperor are married, what is the difference between giving and referring to, the imperial grandmother should be clear, so the father doesn't have to care about Gu Tong disagreeing, Gu Xiang will not tear his face with the royal family for a family matter, it will only make the world see jokes."
The female official of the Queen Mother continued: "Niangniang, Your Highness is right, and the slave maid thinks that the prime minister refuses to marry, maybe it is not a good man, nor is the county lord not good enough, but the Xiangye has someone he likes, fortunately, the love silk can be cut, and the county lord is not unable to marry." ”
The Queen Mother sighed: "Let's discuss this matter with Your Majesty and Wei Guogong again." ”
Jiang Rong seemed to be pierced in the heart by the female official's words, and his expression became more and more gloomy. Gu Chuyu snatched her danqing, admired her arguing with the envoys of the Xia Kingdom, and took her hand in front of the ministers......
What a dragon is good! Gu Chuyu knew that she was unwilling to give up her current identity, so she began to spread rumors of broken sleeves, wanting to get closer to her unscrupulously and openly.
Upper Beijing Prefectural Office.
In the afternoon, Mei Xiaoren suddenly received a note from the official officer, which said that she should take a few officials to the bamboo forest in the south of the city.
Even if the note was not signed, she could already guess that it was related to Chu Yu. Who else but him would ask her to go to that place.
Mei Xiaoren arrived near the tea shop at the appointed time, but did not see Chu Yu's figure. She was also wondering before, if Chu Yu wanted to see her, she should only see her in private, how could she ask her to bring someone here.
Mei Xiaoren led his men to the depths of the bamboo forest, and after a while, he saw a group of black-clothed people, who were Xuanyiwei.
The Living Hades were there, but with his back to her.
He has always been like this, standing taller before men than his master's shelf.
For the Living Hell King, Mei Xiaoren was already angry in his heart, and if the Hidden Moon Platform exerted a little strength in the past few days, it would not let the rumors in the capital fly all over the sky......
She stopped, stood behind Liuyue, clasped her hands and asked lightly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, where did the Metropolitan Governor take these adults to make a fortune recently?" ”
