Chapter 104: Worried, begging
As Gu Yanran expected in her heart, Gu Changtai's appearance of diamonds is very rare.
"Oh my God, this is a diamond?" Gu Changtai picked up the diamond and played with it in his palm, and did not forget to ask Gu Yanran. "Good grandson, this diamond is even rarer than the Night Pearl, I have been looking for several years without success, how did you get it?"
Gu Yanran didn't mean to hide it. "Yan'er went to the Treasure Pavilion yesterday to choose a birthday gift for you, and learned that a few new products just arrived a few days ago, this diamond is one of them, I think you should like it and ask the shopkeeper for it."
She will be honest about the origin of the diamond for two reasons.
First: she doesn't want to use lies to deceive her loved ones, and she doesn't bother to make up many excuses for perfunctory these unrelated people.
Second, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries in the hall at present, and it is just right to borrow diamonds to create an image of 'the sea is inclusive of all rivers and everything' for the Treasure Pavilion.
Gu Changtai heard Gu Yanran mention the Treasure Pavilion, and suddenly remembered something. "Yan'er, I heard that the Empress Dowager gave you the Treasure Pavilion, is it true?"
Gu Changtai's question asked the hearts of most of the people in the hall......
They also wanted to know if the rumor that 'the Empress Dowager gave the Treasure Pavilion to Gu Yanran' was true!
In the hall, there were only three people who knew the ins and outs of the incident.
Gu Yanran, the party involved in the incident, is naturally one of them.
The other two are Nangong Nianyou, who served as the 'herald' in the incident, and Nangong Xuanyu, who heard all about it from Nangong Nianyou.
Nangong Xuanyu thought that he had no position to speak for Gu Yanran, so he had to choose to remain silent. “……”
"......" Gu Yanran was also silent, just because she was thinking about how to respond to Gu Changtai's question.
Answer 'true'...... She was given the right to take care of the Treasure Pavilion for the time being.
But if she answered, 'Not true', how should she explain to everyone that the Empress Dowager Jun handed over the Treasure Pavilion and Qing Zuixuan under Nangong Xuanyi's name to her to take care of this matter?
Gu Yanran's momentary hesitation gave Nangong Nianyou's 'righteous words' room to play.
"Absolutely!" Nangong Niandemon stood in the seat, smiling triumphantly. "This decree was personally received by this princess, and she personally went to Yingyue Mansion to announce it, and this princess is the best witness."
"So, those rumors are true?"
"The nine princesses have spoken, how can it be fake?"
"But the second prince's property has always been taken care of by the queen mother herself, and now she has rewarded the two best properties to the concubine of the Protector's Mansion, and the reason for this is ...... It's a little intriguing. ”
"Thinking of the words of the Ninth Princess Fang Cai saying that Gu Yanran was 'her own family', the matter is even more worth pondering."
Gu Yanran turned a deaf ear to everyone's delusions, and kept her eyes on Gu Changtai from beginning to end.
"Grandpa, since you are satisfied with this congratulatory gift prepared by Yan'er......" Gu Yanran smiled. The coming month is Yan'er's birthday, can Yan'er ask you for something in advance as a birthday gift? ”
"I don't like to hear what the good grandson says, what is 'begging', just say what you want, as long as I have it, as long as it is something that the Protectorate Mansion has, you can take it."
Gu Yanran was also not polite, and pointed directly to the gift office where Steward Tang was located. "I want that Tianshan Snow Lotus."
In fact, it is useless for her to ask for Tianshan Snow Lotus, on the contrary, she is very happy to see that the Protector Mansion can have such a magical medicine as Tianshan Snow Lotus.
Because once someone in the Protector's Mansion is on the verge of death, Tianshan Snow Lotus can definitely relieve the urgency for a while, and come again, as long as she rushes over to rescue her.
However, just outside the hall, she heard everyone's envy for Gu Changtai, and also heard everyone's covetousness for Tianshan Snow Lotus, so she couldn't help but worry.
Tianshan Snow Lotus is indeed the treasure of the town government that can be used as the Protector Mansion, but the Protector Mansion may not be able to keep the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
The so-called tree attracts the wind, and the Tianshan Snow Lotus is even more so.
If it is only the chickens and dogs who come to hear the wind, it is enough to deal with it with the skills of the Fuzhong Nursing Hospital.
I'm afraid that those scum of the rivers and lakes who are careless about people's lives will also flock to the Tianshan Snow Lotus......
At that time, not only the Tianshan Snow Lotus will not be guaranteed, but even the entire Protector Mansion will be in crisis.
She couldn't watch such a thing happen, so she decided to take the Tianshan Snow Lotus from Gu Changtai's hands.
She already lives alone outside the Protectorate Mansion, and she is next to Yeyu's most 'difficult to mess with' Netherworld Mansion, even if those who have ghosts in their hearts know that Tianshan Snow Lotus is in her hands, they have to weigh their catties before they dare to start, right?
"You want the Tianshan Snow Lotus?" Gu Changtai never expected that Gu Yanran would want Tianshan Snow Lotus, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "This, good grandson, the Tianshan Snow Lotus was given by the three princes and other distinguished guests, so ......"
Gu Changtai stopped at the point and did not continue, he believed that Gu Yanran would definitely be able to understand the meaning of his words.
"Meaning...... If I want to get this Tianshan Snow Lotus, I must get the consent of the three princes? Gu Yanran's apricot eyes were round, and she was very surprised, and her eyes glanced at the third prince intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Gu Yanran's gaze was not ruthless, it really made Nangong Xuanyou's back spine faintly cold.
Nangong Xuanyou was obviously a little overwhelmed, so he had to express his position according to Gu Yanran's wishes.
"The protector doesn't need to worry too much." Nangong Xuanyou's face was kind. "Since the Tianshan Snow Lotus has been given to the Protector of the Kingdom, what to do with it is naturally up to you to decide, and it has nothing to do with us."
Gu Yanran smiled even more when she heard this, and said coquettishly to Gu Changtai. "Grandpa, the three princes have all said so, you will give the Tianshan Snow Lotus to Yan'er, right?"
Without any worries, Gu Changtai agreed very happily.
"Okay, good, give it to you, give it to you." Gu Changtai's eyes were full of spoiling, but he made a request. "But if you have to stay overnight in the mansion tonight, how about it?"
"Hey, hey, deal!" Gu Yanran gladly accepted.
Gu Yanran and Gu Changtai's grandfather and grandson talked for about half a burnt incense.
Gu Changtai had obviously forgotten what the occasion was now, and wanted to continue chatting with Gu Yanran, "Yan'er, you ......"
"Lord Shen, the capital of the Imperial City, has arrived! The young master of the table has arrived! The informant said loudly.
Gu Yanran glanced outside the door and found that it was indeed Shen Shaoyi and Lin Shangshu who came, so she waved her hand at Gu Changtai. "Then, grandpa, I'll find a place to sit down first, and we'll talk later."
After that, Gu Yanran didn't wait for Gu Changtai to respond, and ran to an empty seat in the corner of the hall.
“…… Alas. Gu Changtai looked at Gu Yanran's back and sighed lightly, his tone full of helplessness. This girl is really getting more and more unorthodox. ”
Gu Qiqiao, who was slow to react, saw that Gu Yanran had sat down in the corner, and quickly trotted out of the center of the hall.
