Chapter 192: Emotions
The fat mother yelled at Gu Banqin, and as soon as the voice came out, Duan came out of the hall and said to the fat mother:
"It's coming, it's coming. I'll go. The former friends of the sixth girl came to see me, and I delayed a little, so don't be surprised by the two mothers. ”
Duan said to the two fat mothers, Gu Banqin looked at her, gritted her teeth, and didn't say anything.
After glancing at the catkins, the catkins rolled their eyes, and guessed what Gu Banqin meant, and took out two red seals from her sleeve pockets, which Gu Banqin prepared for her when she left the palace, in order to serve the maids and daughters of Cuiwei Courtyard, and now it is just used on this.
Liu Wu stepped forward to salute the two fat mothers, and secretly sent the two red seals, this time Gu Banqin brought out the things from the palace, all of them were wrapped in ordinary folk paper, not from Ouchi.
Feng Hong is no different from that of an ordinary mansion, and after sending it out, Liu Wu greeted with a smile:
"Two mothers, don't worry about Aunt Duan, our wife just came to see her, delaying the matter of your house, I'm really sorry, these are small meanings, not respect, Aunt Duan will have to thank her mothers for taking care of her in the future."
The two mothers were rough mothers-in-law, and they hadn't entered the inner courtyard much, so it was normal not to know Gu Banqin, and besides, they couldn't have imagined that Gu Banqin, a virtuous concubine who was high in the palace, would go back to the house from the back door to see the Duan family.
Although there was still a little strange in his heart, he weighed the weight of the red seal, which was heavier than the first-class red seal in the house, and he was immediately satisfied, smiled, smiled at the catkins, and said with a full promise:
"Girls, don't worry, we have a good relationship with my aunt, but we have a good relationship and speak louder, no, I didn't scare the little lady. No, since my aunt has a guest here, then we will wash the clothes first, and it's okay if my aunt doesn't go today, who will let us have a good relationship. ”
The two fat mothers took the money, and their attitudes were still very good, and Liu Wu was disdainful when she saw them like this, but looking at the appearance of the Duan family and her own mother, she obviously didn't want to expose her identity.
Now it's just a matter of breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster, and money is the most effective way to deal with the villain who is greedy for money, so Liu Wu only glanced at Gu Banqin's hint and knew what to do.
The two were about to turn around, but they were stopped by Duan's shouting: "How dare you ask the two mothers to do things for me, you wait for me outside the courtyard for a while, the guests should also leave, I will go with you." ”
The two fat mothers were secretly happy in their hearts, where would they raise the bar with Duan's family, nodded, and went out of the yard, and before they stepped out of the door, they couldn't wait to take out Feng Hong, and opened the count.
Duan walked to the stone table, picked up the cloak that Gu Banqin had placed on it earlier, and personally put it on for Gu Banqin, without saying a word to Gu Banqin during the whole process.
Gu Banqin looked at Duan, for a moment, she felt that Duan's was like a stranger she had never seen before, after putting on Gu Banqin's cloak, she patted Gu Banqin on the shoulder twice, and then turned around decisively.
Gu Banqin was stunned for a moment, and when she reached out to grab her, Duan's had already taken two steps out, Gu Banqin looked at Duan's back, felt a sour nose, held her two hands together, and involuntarily pinched the flesh on the back of her hand with her fingernails to keep herself from crying.
Duan followed the two fat mothers out of Cuiwei Courtyard, Liu Wu and Nincao saw Gu Banqin's expression of loss, and after waiting quietly for a while, Liu Wu whispered to Gu Banqin and asked:
"Niangniang, shall we wait here for my aunt to come back?"
Gu Banqin took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and then took two turns around the Cuiwei courtyard that she had grown up in since she was a child, and firmly remembered these scenes that she might never see again.
Since the Duan family had the heart to leave the Gu family and leave Jiankang, Gu Banqin knew that she couldn't stop her no matter what, and all she could do now was to try her best to give her freedom.
Maybe the Duan family could have left the Gu family and Jiankang a long time ago, but because they didn't want to give Gu Banqin a life of exile, they reined in their edge and committed themselves to living in the backyard of the Gu family, and now Gu Banqin's wings are full.
The Duan family can finally stop worrying about Gu Banqin, and can finally do what she wants to do.
Gu Banqin can understand Duan's desire for freedom, why shouldn't she desire it herself?
"Don't wait. Let's go. ”
With Gu Banqin's order, Liu Wu and Shinobu went to prepare, Zhang's mother came out of the kitchen, holding a spatula in her hand, and when she saw that Gu Banqin was leaving, she greeted her and said:
"Girl, are you leaving? Why don't you stay for a meal? ”
Gu Banqin smiled, shook his head, and stretched out a hand to the catkins, who handed the red seal in the sleeve pocket to Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin still felt that it was not enough, and asked the catkins and ninja to untie the purse, and finally untied the big purse on his waist.
Stuffed the remaining eight fifty taels of red seals, as well as twenty or thirty taels of broken silver in the catkins and ninja grass purse, plus two hundred taels of silver tickets in her purse, and put them all in Zhang's mother's palm, and said to Zhang's mother:
"It's almost six or seven hundred taels of silver, that's all I have, Mother Zhang is old, don't stay in the house, take the silver to the countryside to buy a house, and ask the two little maids to take care of you."
Mother Zhang looked at Gu Banqin blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
Gu Banqin lowered her head and sighed, then put the hat behind the cloak on her head, and finally shook hands with Zhang's mother, then resolutely turned around and walked out of Cuiwei Courtyard.
As when he came, with catkins and ninja grass, Gu Banqin quietly turned out of the back door of Gu's house, walked all the way, and got into the carriage.
Liu Fu and Shinobi saw that Gu Banqin's face was wrong, and after getting into the car, they didn't dare to speak, and the two looked at each other for a long time, and Liu Wu glared at Shinobu with his eyes, and let Shinobu step forward and ask:
"Mother, where are we going now?"
Gu Banqin leaned against the wall of the car and sighed, she didn't even have the interest to drop her cloak and hat, and pointed in the direction of the palace weakly, without even making a sound.
The carriage drove slowly, the carriage swayed, and Gu Banqin looked at the crowd coming and going on the street from the gap in the curtain of the car blown by the wind, and her mood was unprecedentedly low.
Especially when she saw a pair of ordinary parents, holding a child in their hands, happily passing by the carriage, Gu Banqin's heart was as uncomfortable as being blocked.
She was an orphan in her previous life, and after crossing over, she finally met Duan, who satisfied Gu Banqin's biggest fantasy about the word mother.
Gu Banqin does regard the Duan family as her mother in her heart, if she can, Gu Banqin would rather take her away from Jiankang when she was a child, even if it is a small life of exile, Gu Banqin is also willing.
But the Duan family has lived with her in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, and they have never told Gu Banqin that her stay is only temporary, nor has she said that she will leave one day......
The carriage bumped into the palace, Gu Banqin walked all the way back to the imperial garden of Lihua Palace, the palace maids and little eunuchs who came and went saluted Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin did not respond as before, and walked all the way back to Lihua Palace.
Gu Banqin didn't even change her clothes happily, so she threw her whole body directly into the soft bed, let the willow catkins put down the curtain for her, and she lay on the futon, crying silently.
I always thought that I was very strong, but when I really encountered something, Gu Banqin realized that she was also vulnerable.
Tears couldn't stop falling, Gu Banqin let her face bury herself in the quilt, wanting to indulge herself today, and all the emotions accumulated during these years flowed away with the tears.
But crying and crying, Gu Banqin felt that something was wrong, because she was still walking around the hall before, and the footsteps of the catkins were gone, and the surroundings were very quiet.
Gu Banqin poked her head out of the quilt, her hair was crooked to the side, and the hairpin ring also fell to the side, she woke up her nose with a handkerchief, got up from the bed with difficulty, turned around, and wanted to throw the handkerchief that had woken up out of the tent.
But as soon as he turned around, Gu Banqin almost swallowed the veil into his stomach.
The curtain that originally let the catkins put down was lifted again, and on the edge of the bed, I don't know when, sat Helian Hongyi, who had been staring at Gu Banqin's ass for a long time.
Gu Banqin's eyes were swollen like walnuts, and even she felt that her eyelids were swollen and she couldn't open them, her nose was red, and her face was full of tears and sweat.
The smooth black hair stuck to the sweat-soaked cheeks, unkempt and embarrassed, and it was exposed to Helian Hongyi's eyes without warning.
Helian Hongyi's usual indifference, sitting on the edge of the bed, bent his feet, and looked Gu Banqin's funny appearance up and down, in a quiet environment, the two looked at each other.
It was Helian Hongyi who reacted first, and asked Gu Banqin in a deep voice:
"Didn't you say you'd be staying with your aunt for two days?"
Which pot is not opened and which pot is not mentioned, Gu Banqin didn't want to answer this question, and threw another question to Helian Hongyi, with a thick nasal voice and her appearance at the moment, the appearance of a puppy who was abandoned on the street.
Even Helian Hongyi's cold temperament can't help but feel distressed when he sees it.
"Why did you come quietly and didn't say hello, yes, did you want to see my jokes?"
Gu Banqin said to Helian Hongyi, and the tears couldn't help but fall down, she wiped her tears with her sleeve and wiped her cheeks red, pitiful is pitiful, sloppy is also sloppy, but Helian Hongyi can see that she is really sad.
Gu Banqin cried and cried to Helian Hongyi, so she couldn't care about anything anymore, and sat there crying and crying.
Seeing this, Helian Hongyi couldn't help but sit up straight, put down his hand for a long time, hugged his chest and watched the play, and was a little overwhelmed, he hadn't seen a woman crying, a woman crying miserably, he had also seen it.
But no woman crying can make his heart feel a faint pain, the ghost makes the god send, as soon as the long hand stretches out, he pulls Gu Banqin's arm, pulls her to his side, and makes her sit on his lap with the force under his hand, and uses the method of holding the child to hold Gu Banqin, clumsily comforting her.
Gu Banqin sat on Helian Hongyi's lap, her cheek resting on his chest, one hand around his neck, and the other hand around his bee waist, hugging Helian Hongyi to death.
