Lin Ruo seemed to have anticipated everyone's thoughts, and glanced at Murong Chong, and then looked at Gu Manni, with banter and ridicule in her cold eyes, like looking at a clown who jumped off the beam, and said lightly: "Gu Manni, I only said that the Lin family does not welcome the people of the Gu Mansion who are the ministers of the Ministry of Shangshu, but they did not expel Prince Zhan together." Do you think that Prince Zhan is your appendage, or do you think that he is a subordinate that you can send at will? It's too self-aware, isn't it? ”
Lin Ruo's words were loud and clear, and Gu Manni was powerless to parry, and after being frightened, she could only put on the usual trick of a weak woman, wiped the aggrieved tears in the corners of her eyes with the brocade in her hand, and said softly and weakly: "Lord, lord, I, I will never dare, never dare to have such thoughts...... I ......"
That pear blossom with rain, liver and intestines, is a skill that Lin Ruo will never learn.
Therefore, she just watched Gu Manni acting alone with a smile, and swept towards Song Huan Chu teasingly, and sure enough, she saw pity on his face.
Lin Ruo felt a burst of disdain in his heart, but when his eyes swept over the people around Song Huan Chu, he keenly caught the frowning brows of a young man in brocade clothes beside him. Looking at his dress, he doesn't look like Song Huanchu's entourage, but he doesn't look like Song Huanchu's friend, maybe it is more appropriate to describe it with words like "staff" and "strategist".
However, Lin Ruo didn't look at the man for too long, Song Huan Chu had already comforted Gu Manni softly, and instead pointed the finger at her: "Lan'er is not such a vicious, indifferent and selfish person. ”
Lan'er?
Lin Ruo is naturally not unfamiliar with this name, it is Gu Manni's nickname, and Gu Ting personally took it. Because when Gu Manni was born, the orchids planted in Gu Mansion vied with each other to bloom, and the Mansion was fragrant, which was considered a good omen, so Gu Manni has always been Gu Ting's favorite daughter.
Orchids are known as the "gentlemen of flowers", but they are extremely difficult to feed, and even if they do, they rarely bloom. Because Gu Ting has always shown himself as a gentleman, he likes orchids very much. No matter how good a florist is, he only cultivates a few blooming orchids. The orchids in the garden are blooming, how can he not be ecstatic?
Song Huan Chu's words obviously alluded to Lin Ruo's vicious, indifferent and selfish person, but he stared at Lin Ruo, but he didn't read a trace of anger on her face, on the contrary, the corners of her mouth were hooked, and she smiled slightly, looking very gentle: "Prince Zhan can blurt out Miss Gu's maiden name, it seems that the two have a great relationship!" ”
Gu Manni still had undried tears in the corners of her eyes, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth betrayed her proud mind.
The man behind Song Huan Chu frowned even more, but before he reminded his master, Song Huan Chu couldn't wait to open his mouth: "Princess Rong is really careful, exactly, I have already submitted a letter of state to Emperor Mingzong of Donglu, asking to marry Gu Shangshu's daughter, so that Donglu and Shu can marry Qin and Jin." ”
As soon as Song Huan Chu said this, there was an uproar in the audience.
The credentials are official documents between the two countries, and although they may not necessarily involve the secrets of diplomatic relations between the two countries, they are not allowed to be leaked by envoys, especially when they are publicized in the streets. It can be seen that Song Huan Chu was stunned by Gu Manni.
However, Lin Ruo had already learned about this matter from Murong Chong's mouth, and he was not much surprised, but he showed a slight surprise, "oh", and dragged out a long note before he said: "So, what does Prince Zhan mean is that this Miss Gu is your fiancée, the quasi-princess, and your family member, not someone from Gu Shangshu's mansion?" ”
"Exactly."
Lin Ruo shook his head with a smile and didn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until Song Huan Chu couldn't help but ask why she was laughing that she opened her mouth and asked lightly: "Dare to ask, my Majesty the Emperor of Donglu can promise Prince Zhan's marriage?" ”
Song Huan Chu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Lin Ruo meant, and smiled disdainfully: "The two countries have diplomatic relations, and it is good to marry Qin and Jin, Your Majesty the Emperor of your country, how can you not allow it?" ”
Lin Ruo smiled and shook his head: "Lord Zhan, you didn't answer my question. ”
Song Huan Chu saw that Lin Ruo was so obsessed with the answer, and snorted coldly: "This is a matter of time, does Princess Rong think that Emperor Mingzong will save the face of my Shu Kingdom?" ”
Lin Ruo's face was still a faint and detached smile, and his voice was still cold: "Prince Zhan has buttoned a big hat, I don't dare to speculate on the holy will, but so far, Prince Zhan, as the envoy of Shu, has only submitted your credentials and has not yet accepted the emperor's reception, so the emperor has not yet agreed to your proposal to marry." I am just a woman, I have never left Donglu, and naturally I have never been to Shu, and I don't understand the customs of Shu. But I know the rules of Donglu. Marriage matters need to have the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the six ceremonies of Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, asking for dates, and welcoming relatives. The two surnames are good, the upper is the temple, and the lower is the successor. The two, before they have met the eight characters and made a marriage contract, they are in pairs, and they are commensurate with their fiancées and fiancés, which is too inconsistent with the etiquette law! ”
Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo, who was calm and unhurried, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
Lin Ruo took a step forward, looked directly into Gu Manni's eyes, and said word by word: "If it is dealt with strictly, Miss Shangshu, it should be - dip, pig, cage!" ”
Murong Chong's admiration for Lin Ruo has never been hidden-Lin Ruo's uniqueness will be discovered as long as he gets along a little bit. Smart, cunning, and likes to go their own way. Of course, there are also rare spicy and decisive women who are rare.
Lin Ruo's words penetrated into it, although his voice sounded soft, but every word was ruthless, clearly reprimanding Gu Manni for not abiding by women's morals and being shameless, and before the marriage contract was made, she went in and out with the man, swaggering, and even allowed the man to call her by her name. In addition, she was intimate with Song Huan Chu in public, which made the spectators stand on Lin Ruo's side completely, despising and disdainful of what she did with the highest point of morality.
Although the folk customs of Donglu are civilized, they are not open to the point where women who have not left the cabinet can be intimate with strange men in public.
The guests who can dine in the gluttonous sea are either rich or expensive, and in the face of Gu Manni's unethical behavior, their eyes show disdain and contempt. Gu Manni's face was even more embarrassed in these mocking eyes, her fingers were tightly twisted in the handkerchief, and her resentful gaze stared straight at Lin Ruo, but she dared not speak angrily.
Lin Ruo didn't let her go, took a step forward, met Gu Manni's resentful gaze with blazing eyes, and continued to say sharply: "Prince Zhan didn't remind me, I still forgot, now, I am the dignified concubine of King Rong, the county lord of the emperor's own title, not to mention that you Gu Manni is still a classless courtier, that is, the emperor agreed to Prince Zhan's proposal to marry, and stood here as a quasi-princess, you should also salute me and Prince Rong!" ”
The expression on Gu Manni's face was even more embarrassed, she didn't expect Lin Ruo to dare to let herself kneel down and salute her in front of the public!
Seeing Gu Manni stunned in place, Lin Ruo smiled coldly, with a hint of mockery in her calm tone: "What, Miss Gu, Shangshu Mansion has fallen to the point where you can't even afford to hire a grandmother who teaches etiquette?" ”
