The rouge box was particularly delicate, and Lin's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he smiled: "This porcelain box is exquisitely made." ”

When I opened the box, I saw the balm printed in the shape of a hibiscus flower, put it on the tip of my nose and sniffed it, and laughed more and more: "This tastes good, Ah Jiu really understands me." ”

She doesn't like those strong and fragrant incense, but only these faint smells, if there are nothing, but they are evocative.

Seeing that the Lin family liked it, the smile on Gu Jiu's face was a little more: "Mother likes it, I'll take something else back for you another day." ”

After hearing her words, Lin suddenly smiled and waved his hand: "I'm an old woman, what do I do with so much incense." It's you, the little girl should be fresher, and dress up more often, don't always be so plain. ”

In fact, Gu Jiu's clothes are really not pure, but the Lin family is used to seeing the competition between the people in the mansion, and at this time, seeing Gu Jiu's indisputable appearance, he is a little anxious.

With such a good color, you should dress up well, otherwise it will be too violent?

Gu Jiu only curled his lips and smiled, "Yes, I'll dress up when I turn around." ”

Hearing her words, Lin Shi glanced at her again, and said with a smile: "However, Ah Jiu is what he looks like now, and he is also very good-looking." ”

In all fairness, Gu Jiusheng is very good, her eyebrows, eyes, lips and teeth are all moving, and because she smiled before she spoke, that beauty became more and more attackable.

The bright beauty is also a little weak.

Such a little girl should be pampered in the palm of her hand.

Lin thought about it, and sighed in his heart, no wonder the Gu family held Gu Jiu in their hands and loved him, if this was his own daughter, he couldn't help but spoil people.

It's a pity that she married into such a dirty and dirty place as the Ming State Mansion.

Fortunately, Zheng'er was not as good as her father, and she looked carefully that day, and he was not completely ruthless to Gu Jiu.

Thinking of this, Lin couldn't help but smile a little more, because he said softly: "Your husband and wife have been married for a short time, it is the newlywed Yan'er, don't keep guarding this old woman like me, you have to go and see Zheng'er more often." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Jiu's cheeks suddenly became a little hot, and he remembered the dream of that night for no reason.

She coughed, trying to cover up the topic, but sneered, "Don't worry, Mother, I know it." ”

Whether it is really counted, Lin doesn't know, but the little girl's shyness when she mentions her husband is true.

Lin was satisfied, what the husband and wife were most afraid of was that they had no feelings, what they respected each other like guests, but they were afraid that they respected each other like ice.

If you have friendship with each other like this, then you can live a complete life.

Thinking of this, she patted Gu Jiu's hand with a smile again, and said softly: "Mother knows that the two of you are good, but this husband and wife also need to get along, so it will be better, don't you say?" ”

When she said this, she only said it clearly, Gu Jiu nodded indiscriminately, lowered her eyes and said, "Mother said yes." ”

Gu Jiu was afraid that the Lin family would say something that would make her blush, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Yes, I came here today, I really have something to ask you." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Lin's face remained unchanged, and he bent his eyebrows and said, "Ah Jiu said, what is the matter?" ”

Gu Jiu coughed, calmed down a little in his heart, and then asked, "That Linlang Pavilion, but your shop?" ”

Hearing Gu Jiu's words, the Lin family was stunned for a moment and asked, "Linlang Pavilion?" ”

She has not been doing anything for many years, and she can't even remember the shop in her hand and other things. It was still Gu Jiu who reminded her that it was on Chang'an Avenue that she vaguely remembered it, nodded and said, "There is indeed such a shop, but now it should be your grandmother's people in charge." ”

When she said this, she smiled and said, "You know, I've never been in good health, and I don't have the energy to take care of those shops. In the early years, your grandmother said that someone would help me, but I couldn't manage it at that time, so I agreed. I haven't paid attention to it all these years, but now that I think about it, it should be in the hands of your Aunt Fang. ”

For these things outside the body, the Lin family has always not minded. She is not from a bad background, but she is in poor health.

After getting married, because Qin Zheng fell ill, and then had a bad relationship with her husband, the Lin family gradually declined over the years, but the Ming Mansion became stronger and stronger.

Lin didn't want to make any trouble because of something outside his body, so he didn't mention the matter of the shop again.

If Gu Jiu hadn't said it today, she would have almost forgotten about it.

When he came before, Gu Jiu had this idea vaguely in his heart, but now when he heard Lin's words, there was only one thought in his heart.

And so it was.

At that time, she guessed that if this shop was really the Lin family's, then judging from the Lin family's state of not being at home for many years, I was afraid that the shop that was used as her marriage would also fall into the hands of Fang Qing and them.

Seeing that Gu Jiu's expression was a little cold, Lin frowned for a while, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, but is there anything wrong with that shop?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu restrained the cold glint in his eyes, and smiled warmly: "It's okay, I just heard the shopkeeper say that the shop seems to be yours, just chat idly and ask casually." ”

When she said this, she added with a smile: "But the income in that Linlang Pavilion is good, and it seems that it is well managed." Although your mother doesn't care about anything, the shop is making money every day, which shows that you should be born with a rich and prosperous life. ”

Hearing this, Lin couldn't help but laugh, and he was relieved in his heart.

She thought it was an accident in the shop, which affected Gu Jiu.

Now that she had this, she said softly: "I do have monthly income here, but I don't need those, and they are all piled up in the storeroom with dust." But if you have money, open your mouth to your mother. ”

Lin said, his voice becoming softer and softer: "Besides, although this shop is now in charge of your Aunt Fang, it is mine, and it will inevitably belong to your husband and wife in the future, and no one can take it away." ”

The reason why she is in charge of Fang Qing now is that she is too old to remember the matter of this shop, and secondly, because the title deed and other things are in her hands.

Although the Lin family pursues a "forbearance" formula, there are some things that I know cannot be allowed. For example, in the field shop, Fang Qing and the others want to take money from it in the name of helping to take care of it, and the Lin family can bear it; But the ultimate owner of this shop can only be her son and daughter-in-law.

No one wants to change that.

Hearing Lin's words, Gu Jiu was a little speechless.

She didn't know whether to say that the Lin family was innocent or too easy to fool.

Not to mention now, just in the previous life, after the death of the Lin family, Gu Jiu had never seen her dowry and other things.

Naturally, that also has to do with herself. After all, Mo didn't talk about the Lin family's things, and even Gu Jiu's own things were coaxed away by Fang Qing and them.

It's just that he did it again in this life, but Fang Qing didn't want to get his wish again.

Gu Jiucai thought of this, and saw Qiao Rui walking in from outside the door, but she was holding the tea she had picked, and said with a smile: "The slave maid went back and thought about the tea that the young lady came to drink these few times, and brought it over, so I just put it on for you, you go back and try it, which one do you like, and the slave maid will wrap it up and send it to you again." ”

The matter of tea was just a pretext, and Gu Jiu immediately smiled and thanked him.

After receiving the tea, he accompanied Lin to talk for a while, and seeing that it was not too early, he got up and said goodbye.

Lin smiled and left her to eat, but Gu Jiu refused: "There are still two account books that I haven't finished reading, so I really have to deal with them tonight." I'll come back to dinner with you another day. ”

In fact, the account book didn't matter, but Gu Jiu was a little big when he thought of the first two times he had eaten here at the Lin family, and Qin Zheng's performance after he came.

Coupled with the dream she had before, Gu Jiu was even more big, she had been hiding from Qin Zheng for two days, but she didn't want to run into each other here in the Lin family.

Hearing Gu Jiu's words, Lin didn't think much about it, only smiled and nodded: "It's okay, you go and get busy, just come and sit with your mother if you have nothing to do." ”

After hearing Lin's words, Gu Jiu naturally nodded in response, and immediately turned around and went out.

When she came, she didn't bring a maid, so Lin asked Qiaorui to send her.

Gu Jiu excused himself, and when he saw that he couldn't resign, he simply sent himself out by Qiaorui.

It's just that after getting out of the gate of the Famous Orchid Garden, Gu Jiu slowed down and asked softly: "Qiaorui, there is something I need to ask you, don't tell your mother when you go back." ”

Seeing the young lady's serious expression, Qiao Rui also smiled, nodded and said, "Young lady, please speak." ”

Gu Jiu looked at no one for a while, and then said softly: "Mother's dowry, is it subsidized to the family's public account?" ”

She felt that there was something wrong when she looked at the account books of the Ming Kingdom Mansion before, after all, although she only looked at a part of the periphery, the problem was already reflected in the account books.

Those extra things are unknown money and other things, and they don't match the things such as the Guogong Mansion.

comes from a big house, but it is not a man's fortune, so there is only one source, which is the Lin family.

After all, as a concubine, although Fang Qing was also from everyone, not only did she not have any dowry, but even the maid was married after coming to the Guogong Mansion.

And after she asked the Lin family, she realized another thing, I am afraid that not only the shop was occupied by Fang Qing, but even the silver money and other things in the Lin family's dowry were justifiably occupied by the Guogong Mansion and used to subsidize the family, right? 168

Hearing Gu Jiu's words, Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and then bit her lip and said, "Why did the young lady think of asking this?" ”

It's not that she doesn't want to say it, if she really wants to say it, Qiao Rui is more willing to accuse than anyone else, but now she has to confirm what the young lady means.

Seeing Qiaorui's appearance, Gu Jiu thought for a while and said, "I want to seek justice for my mother, so I ask you." ”

The reason why she didn't tell Lin before was because she knew Lin's current body and didn't want to make trouble for her and make her uncomfortable with these bad things.

But Pretty was different, she knew that Pretty was a loyal servant.

But she doesn't need to do anything, she just needs to make sure she's right.

When she heard Gu Jiu's words, Qiao Rui looked at Gu Jiu very seriously for a long time, and from the other party's face, she couldn't see the hypocrisy at all.

Frank and swaying.

She suddenly understood why Madame liked the young lady.

"I believe you, so whatever the young lady wants to know, I can tell you."

Hearing Qiaorui's words, Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, I only ask about this." ”

But listening to the meaning of Qiaorui's words, maybe she has a lot of secrets about her mother-in-law?

But that's someone else's selfishness, she respects it, and she won't inquire without permission.

Qiao Rui took a deep breath and told all the things that Fang Qing had taken away under the pretext of these years, and said at the end: "You know Aunt Fang's virtue, she and the old lady cooperate with both soft and hard, Madame is not their opponent at all, and she has been cheated out of a lot of money shop." That's not all, they also took a lot of things from the small storeroom. I also tried to persuade my wife, but she would not listen to me, and she would not allow me to tell the son. ”

In Lin's view, these are just things outside the body, and she herself is the daughter-in-law of the Ming State Mansion, and it costs money to eat and drink in ordinary times. and Qin Zheng, as the prince of the world, is it difficult for the Ming Kingdom Mansion to make him feel ashamed because of these things?

But Lin's heart is wide, it doesn't mean that Qiao Rui has a big heart, and when she saw that the things in her master's hands were fed to the white-eyed wolf like water, she was so angry that she wanted to scold the street.

But looking at the master's body again, he didn't dare to make her angry.

Now that she has talked to Gu Jiu, she feels a lot happier in her heart.

"Young lady, I tell you this today, if you can really ask for justice for our wife, you will repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life."

Hearing Qiaorui's words, Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh: "What do I want you to do as a cow and a horse, isn't it good to be a person?" ”

It was rare for her to say witty things, but it caused Qiaorui's indignation to dissipate a lot, and she sighed with a smile: "I'm serious with you." ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu also smiled faintly: "What I said is also serious, it's not too early, you go back to take care of your mother." ”

With such a tragic ending in her previous life, if she could in this life, she hoped to be able to prevent this tragedy.

It's not that Gu Jiu is compassionate, she also knows that she is an ordinary man, but within her ability, and she may be able to prevent the tragedy, Gu Jiu always hopes to be able to intervene one by one.

She is not a bodhisattva, she can't save sentient beings, but God has the virtue of a good life, giving her this chance to start again, if she only lingers on her own love and hatred, and is indifferent to the joys and sorrows of the people around her, how can she be worthy of this opportunity?

Qiao Rui didn't know what Gu Jiu meant by this, but seeing her like this at this time, she inexplicably felt a little warmth rise in her heart.

She still remembered Lin's instructions, and said with a smile: "Not far ahead, it will return to the Ninth Courtyard, and the slave maid will send it to you to go back." ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu pointed to Songtao Garden not far away, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm going to find Shizi now, are you sure you want to follow me?" ”

When she got this, Qiao Rui's eyes lit up, and she immediately shook her head and smiled: "Then the slave will go back first." ”

At this point, she and the Lin family have the same idea, and they both hope that the relationship between the prince and the young lady will be closer.

After all, she also likes the temperament of this young lady.

Seeing Qiao Rui leaving, Gu Jiu turned around and walked towards Songtao Garden, but the smile on his face disappeared a lot.

Even though it was night, it could be seen that the roots of her ears were a little red.

If it weren't for the Lin family's affairs, she really didn't want to come to Qin Zheng - especially after having such a beautiful dream.

She didn't say that she saw Qin Zheng's face now, as long as she thought of the other party, she would feel that she was blaspheming the other party.

Although, in the dream, she did blasphemy.

But it was precisely because of this that Gu Jiu was even more ashamed.

Could it be because she was too old in her previous life and present life, and she had reached the age of "like a wolf and a tiger" in the mouths of those women, so she subconsciously wanted to defile Qin Zheng?

With this thought, Gu Jiu's face became a little redder.

Songtao Garden was in front of him, but Gu Jiu bit his lip and stirred his fingers, and he didn't dare to step forward.

She even wanted to retreat, or just go back and forget it, anyway, even if she didn't need Qin Zheng, she could handle the matter.

But her feet shrank back, and she saw the door of the study being opened, and then she saw a man standing at the door, and asked lightly, "Stand there and be a door god?" ”

The sky was about to be dark, and the study was already lit with candles, and he stood in the light and shadow, not seeing his real expression, but he could feel the sharpness in his eyes.

Gu Jiu subconsciously took a step back, but after exerting a little more force, he felt a faint pain in his ankle.

The medicine Qin Zheng gave was very easy to use, but it was not an immortal technique, and now it does not hinder walking, but it still hurts.

The man had already strode towards him, grabbed her arm, frowned, and said, "It still hurts?" ”

At this moment, Gu Jiu could see his expression clearly, and even his concern was real.

He's caring about himself.

Realizing this, Gu Jiu suddenly felt a little happy, shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

The girl in front of her smiled like a flower, Qin Zheng's eyes sank a little, and then said, "Something?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu remembered the purpose of his coming, bit his lip, and said, "Can I go in and say?" ”

However, her appearance made men misunderstand.

Qin Zheng felt a little nervous inexplicably, he held Gu Jiu with his right hand, and his left hand was slightly clenched into a fist, as if to relieve his emotions.

Although he did not answer, he expressed his attitude with practical actions.

Helping Gu Jiu into the room and sitting down, he turned around and closed the door again, only then did he turn around and say, "Say it." ”

There were only two of them in the room, and after the door was closed, it seemed that even the air was a little ambiguous.

As the man approached, Gu Jiu instantly remembered the dream of that night.

Her breathing was a little shorter, and it took a while before she said, "I, I'm ......."

However, before the words could be spoken, the person stuttered first.

Her attitude made Qin Zheng even more misunderstood.

The last time Gu Jiu looked like this, it was when she was pestering to marry herself.

It was clear that Qin Zheng hated her very much at that time, but at this moment, he clearly recalled her appearance at that time.

Even her subtle sadness can be remembered clearly.

However, Gu Jiu's words interrupted his memories.

"I want to say, do you know that my mother was cheated?"

This topic changed too quickly, Rao is as wise as Qin Zheng, he was instantly stunned, as if he didn't hear what she said clearly, and asked her, "What?" ”

Didn't she want to talk to herself again?

Seeing that Qin Zheng was stunned, Gu Jiuxin said that this was indeed the case, he really didn't know anything.
