Chapter 17: Before the Fire Pit

Yun Qian took the envelope and waved her hand to Peihuan, and the little maid retreated respectfully.

When they spoke, Gu Jin's heart also pondered.

Just now she was surprised by Lu Chengxiu's move to climb over the wall, at this time it seemed that he should have seen Peihuan coming from afar, and he was afraid that Peihuan would see a foreign man in the evening window pavilion, so he fled in a panic like Lu Guitang that day. In this way, there are some excusable reasons.

"Miss." Yun Qian handed the letter that Peihuan handed in to Gu Jin.

Gu Jin pinched it in a trance, the envelope was stained with rain, and some of the folds were cold, but ...... There was not a single word on the envelope.

She has been powerless for a long time, she has always been oppressed by He's mother and daughter, her biological mother has no family, and she has not been out of the Gu Mansion all these years, where did she know someone outside, and now she has sent a letter without withdrawal.

As the book cover was quietly opened and the letter paper was revealed, Gu Jin had no doubts in his heart.

- The letter was written by Lu Guitang.

It has been eight or nine days since she first met Lu Guitang when she was reborn, and these efforts are enough for Lu Guitang to send the water war plan to the northern Xinjiang as soon as possible, and after the Moon Pool is recaptured, her father and brother will send a good news back to Bianliang City.

Gu Jin thought that Lu Guitang wrote the letter to tell him the news of the border pass, but he didn't want to mention it in the letter.

He was talking about an autumn hunt.

Since two months ago, Princess Juncheng of the Ningguo Mansion has been preparing an autumn hunting party, which is set in the west forest on the outskirts of the city.

Speaking of the Ningguo Mansion, it should be the head of the royal family and nobles in Bianliang City now. Ning Guogong has been prosperous for several generations, and he is the minister of the humerus, but now the saint is seriously ill, but he did not drag the government to the two princes, but handed it over to Ning Guogong, although he is not a blood relative, but he is a prince.

Ning Guogong's wife is the youngest sister of the saint, named Juncheng, there are rumors in Bianliang City, saying that Princess Juncheng is over thirty years old, but she seems to have given birth to a girl's face. That temperament is a well-known warm-hearted person in Bianliang City, although he is graceful and luxurious, he never puts the lord's family on the shelf, and treats everyone with a kind smile when he sees him, and he is a well-known kind-hearted person in Bianliang City.

To say that this autumn hunting party is held every year, but that is a royal matter, only courtiers can participate, this year the emperor is seriously ill, Princess Juncheng said that it is better to hold this year's autumn hunting party more widely, so that the courtiers' families and officials can also participate. It is also said that women do not lose to men, and there are many people in the boudoir, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and they must widely distribute invitations and invite beautiful women all over the world.

This kind of insight is not simple.

But-Gu Jin pinched the fingertips of the letter paper and trembled slightly, she looked at the four words of Princess Juncheng, and remembered the kind words of the people of Bianliang who commented on her in her mind, and she unconsciously sneered: The national color and heavenly fragrance may be true, but the gentle and virtuous cannot!

In the last life, Lu Chengxiu's queen Jiang was the eldest daughter of Ning Guogong and Princess Juncheng, a pair of femme fatale parents taught a femme fatale daughter, her mother didn't know how many ideas she gave Jiang in the back, and personally caused the tragic death of countless people in the harem, and even Yun Qian in front of him now has become one of the unjust souls.

has always been a femme fatale, but it pretends to be a bodhisattva!

Yun Qian realized that the young lady was staring at her, and her expression was repeated, and she didn't know what was causing the young lady's mood to fluctuate in this way.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Jin heard Yun Xuan's voice and came back to his senses again.

She flipped the letter and brought it close to the candle, which burned to ashes.

"It's a letter from His Royal Highness King Xian, who invited me to an autumn hunting party."

Yun Qian frowned, although she followed the young lady in the mansion all the year round, she also knew the rules of the big family. The banquets and gatherings mentioned were not less every year, and there were more such as keju polo, and there were many women who feasted. But Miss is an official family, since she is an official family, she should be invited by the lady of the main family, where is the reason why a foreign man comes to invite?

Gu Jin glanced at Yun Xuan, and then smiled faintly.

She picked up the envelope that had just rested on the bookcase. Another thing was pulled out of it: the letter had been burned by her, but there was still something in the envelope.

Invitations.

"Silly girl, since it is the autumn hunting party that invites the officials of the capital, how can no one invite our housewife and the third lady, but the invitation was hidden by my mother and not given to me. King Xian was thoughtful, so that the invitation was available, and it was not too much. ”

She has never been to the Yahui meeting in these years, but the He family took Gu Xiang, the third lady of the Gu family, to be out of the limelight, and everyone praised Gu Xiang for being born in Jiangmen, but he was gentle and virtuous, and he was a model in the boudoir.

It's just that Gu Jin knows what kind of character her sister is, what kind of gentle and virtuous person she can pretend, and the model in the boudoir is all based on oral tradition, she likes to do things like to go up the tree and dig out birds and go down to the river to fish, and she has always liked to be in the limelight, plus Lu Guitang, who is married to her, will also go to this hunting meeting, so Gu Xiang will definitely go.

In this way, Gu Jin understood why He's mother and daughter had not come to the Evening Window Pavilion to trouble her in the past few days.

Either trying on new clothes in Tingyuntang, or going to the outside jewelry hairpin to get new jewelry, is to prepare for the hunting meeting to attract people's attention.

Gu Jin put the invitation on the table, and then slouched into the chair.

If it was in the previous life, she would never go to this gathering of famous ladies to compete for the jackpot, but this life is different, she needs to live a famous life in a small mansion in order to do what she wants to do in this life!

Lu Guitang's invitation seemed to come at some time, and it was also a door for her to jump into the fire pit.

can think of Lu Guitang who he saw that night, and his words were a little like a prodigal child, but it made Gu Jin's heart wrinkle.

"If he wants to see me, he can go to a teahouse tavern, or go to the temple to burn incense, but he has to drag me into this autumn hunting party, and he is not kind!"

Yun Qian was puzzled, the young lady just said a few words to His Royal Highness King Xian in the bamboo forest that night, how could there be so many twists and turns that she couldn't understand.

"Miss, what do you mean?"

Gu Jin smiled, looked at the little girl in the clouds, put down her frost for the time being, and said something that made Yun Qian even more puzzled: "Your young lady has a hard life, and she was pushed into the fire pit in her previous life. I finally climbed out, but now I'm going to be pulled in again. ”

Yun Qian blinked, reached out and touched the invitation: "That...... Aren't we going? ”

Gu Jin snatched the invitation back, pinched it in his hand and refused to let go: "Go, why don't you go!" Bianliang City is so big, there are so many intrigues and intrigues, every step is a fire pit, and those officials and ladies are not jumping into it with their eyes open. However, it must not be me who set myself on fire this time. ”
