Chapter 268: Verbal War
♂? ,,
Although Gu Yuetong was a little impatient to wait, she didn't say anything to urge, especially when she saw that Gu Ruoxi couldn't raise her arms now, she immediately felt some guilt in her heart.
But Gu Ruoxi didn't let her wait longer. It only took a while to finish eating.
"Let's go!" Gu Yuetong immediately stood up and wanted to pull Gu Ruoxi's hand, but the next moment she remembered that this arm was injured, so she immediately put down her hand and turned around and walked out as if nothing had happened.
Gu Ruoxi hurriedly followed.
But Gu Yuetong took two steps but immediately turned her head and scolded Jin Se who came up: "Don't follow!" Just stay here! ”
Jin Se was startled, and glanced at Gu Ruoxi at a loss.
"Sister, why is that?" Gu Ruoxi asked with some confusion.
Gu Yuetong waved her hand and said, "I brought it today, it was to do a very secret thing, I can't bring a maid, not only Jinse, but even Qiulan can't go." With that, she turned around. Ordered Qiulan, the maid beside him, to stay.
"Miss!" Jin Se was a little anxious and called at Gu Ruoxi.
"Jinse, just stay here with Qiulan!" Gu Ruoxi waved his hand and said, "I'm with my sister, not with others, don't worry, stay in the house, boil the medicine, and we'll be back soon." ”
Jin Se saw this. I had to agree, "Yes, miss." The slave and maid obey the command. ”
Gu Ruoxi smiled at Gu Yuetong and said, "Sister, let's go!" ”
Gu Yuetong immediately turned around and walked out, and Qiulan obediently stayed in the house, not noisy or noisy.
Gu Yuetong had a hint of pride on her face, and after leaving the courtyard of the wing, she said to Gu Ruoxi: "Sister, it's not me who said, the Jin Se around me really doesn't understand the rules, and I don't care!" Look at my Qiulan, the maid should have the appearance of a maid......"
"What my sister said is that my sister has been taught." Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly and said.
"Or, change Jinse, and I'll let my mother assign another one?" Gu Yuetong's eyes rolled and said.
Gu Ruoxi heard this. Hurriedly responded: "Sister, forget it, Jin Se, this girl, is a little anxious, but she is still doing things safely, I am used to her, and I am not used to changing people suddenly." ”
"Well, I'll just talk about it. Seriously. Gu Yuetong smiled and said.
Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Huguo Temple is worthy of being the first temple of Daliang, occupies a wide ground, the momentum is magnificent, the inner hall is heavy, the corridor is meandering, the courtyard is deep, the two sisters are not interested in the Buddha statue in the hall, only wandering around the guest house with one heart.
At first, Gu Ruoxi really thought that Gu Yuetong was taking herself out to enjoy the scenery, but after walking for a while, she noticed that Gu Yuetong was looking for someone, and she didn't look at the scenery on both sides at all. She couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Sister,
What are you looking for? ”
"Shhhh Be quiet! Gu Yuetong immediately turned around and looked at Gu Yuetong's anxious envoy: "We have something to do, what are we doing so loudly?" ”
Gu Ruoxi suddenly closed her mouth.
Gu Yuetong walked forward again, very cautious, Gu Ruoxi followed behind and saw her appearance, and felt very funny.
The dignified Miss Yan of the Jinye Houfu Mansion is sneaky, as if she wants to do something unseemly, if others see it, she will definitely laugh off her big teeth!
Gu Yuetong didn't realize it at all, she led Gu Ruoxi, carefully avoiding the crowd, passing through one courtyard after another, and finally, came to the southernmost courtyard gate, which was very quiet.
There was no one guarding the door, and the door was just closed gently. I don't know where the people in this courtyard have gone, Gu Yuetong suddenly showed a hint of joy when she saw this scene, she didn't think twice, pushed open the door, raised her feet and walked into the courtyard, and walked lightly towards the upper room.
Gu Ruoxi had no choice, so he had to follow. Although she still hasn't figured out what Gu Yuetong is trying to do. He has a wide range of blood.
But after all, you can't let Gu Yuetong have an accident, right?
The two of them walked around, but they didn't make much noise, and when they came to the door of the house, Gu Yuetong picked up the curtain and walked in, she made a skill, the bamboo curtain didn't make a sound, Gu Ruoxi followed behind, and also drew a gourd, and entered the house in the same way.
In front of him, there was a screen embroidered with splendid mountains and rivers, and there was a faint sound of talking in the house, and Gu Yuetong finally stopped when he walked here.
Gu Ruoxi was standing behind Gu Yuetong, and she also heard the sound of talking in the room, and couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, because the person who spoke in the room turned out to be Mrs. Jinye Hou!
What is Mother doing here? And what did Gu Yuetong do sneakily leave the maid and come here?
For a while, Gu Ruoxi was a little stunned, but after a while, she suddenly remembered!
The night before they left the Hou Mansion in the Huguo Temple, Mrs. Jinye Hou said that she had made an appointment with Mrs. Xu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to see her children in the Huguo Temple! If you can, you can settle the family affairs for the two children.
Is this what it is?
Gu Ruoxi immediately leaned her ears forward, and sure enough, Mrs. Jinye Hou's voice came out clearly: "Mrs. Xu, the two children met today, and I also settled a matter on my mind." Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, my Xiao'er also saw it, don't say it, I have made a lot of military exploits at the border over the years, and it is more than enough to match my family, Mrs. Xu, what do you think? ”
Sky! This is already a marriage discussion!
Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, didn't this ancient people invite matchmakers to come to the door? Why did my mother talk about it here?
Where does she know
Dao, the marriage of the ancient people, in fact, has been secretly agreed, and only after the negotiation is done will a matchmaker be sent to the door to propose marriage, otherwise, if it is rejected, wouldn't it be a loss of face? The Kazuba Houfu can't afford to lose this face at all.
Today, the reason why Mrs. Jinye Hou asked such a question was actually just to find out the bottom of Mrs. Xu, far from the point where Gu Ruoxi had already discussed the marriage.
"Damn! Mother really wants to marry Xu Ziyan for her brother! At this moment, Gu Yuetong couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Gu Ruoxi hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth, making a movement here, did Gu Yuetong want the people in the capital to know that the two sisters were listening to the corner? Do they want to be famous?
Fortunately, the people inside did not hear it. Only then did Gu Ruoxi put down his hand.
Gu Yuetong glared at her fiercely.
Gu Ruoxi smiled, but the next moment, her face changed suddenly, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely. Cold sweat also broke out on his forehead.
When Gu Yuetong saw it, she understood that Gu Ruoxi's arm was starting to hurt again, and she hurriedly asked in a low voice, "How is it?" ”
I'm fine! Gu Ruoxi signaled with her eyes that Gu Yuetong didn't have to worry. She lowered her palms and hung them at her sides, and after a while, her face gradually improved.
Gu Yuetong was relieved.
At this time, another voice sounded in the inner room: "The prince is naturally a first-class character!" Looking at Kyoto, it is difficult to find an identical person, and Madame can look at my Yan'er, this is her creation, but ......"
This voice should be Mrs. Xu's, she was halfway through her words, but suddenly she wanted to speak and stopped.
At this moment, not only Mrs. Jinye Hou, but even the Gu Yuetong sisters who were hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping, their curiosity was also seduced.
"Just what?" Mrs. Kazuba Hou couldn't help asking.
Behind the screen, the Gu Ruoxi sisters also pricked up their ears.
Mrs. Xu
After a long time, he said: "Mrs. Gu, you know, our Yan'er is only thirteen years old this year, and she is only one year older than those two daughters, but Shizi is twenty-one this year, and he is much older than our Yan'er......" The more Mrs. Xu said, the quieter her voice became.
Is young a reason? Could it be that apart from this, Mrs. Xu can't look down on any of Gu Xiaoye's shining points? As far as she knows, this Gu Xiaoye wants to have a look, an identity, in this capital, he can be regarded as a character, among the younger generation, he is also a leader, you don't see Gu Xiaoye on the day he returned to Beijing, I don't know how many famous girls in the capital crowded to the city gate building to see his demeanor?
Thinking of this, Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but smile secretly, she could hear that her mother had spent so much time on it, but this Mrs. Xu didn't buy it, it seemed that the other party was not willing to marry Jinye Houfu.
She heard it, that Mrs. Jinye Hou and Gu
Yuetong is naturally not a problem, there are no stupid women in the Gu family, of course, the former Gu Ruoxi is one.
"Mrs. Xu, if my Xiao'er hadn't stayed at the border for the past few years, maybe there would have been several children by now......" Mrs. Jinye Hou listened to Mrs. Xu's words, and the smile on her face couldn't help but stiffen, but she had a good temper, not only did she not get angry, but she also tried to explain to Mrs. Xu.
However, before she could say a few words, Mrs. Xu on the other side interrupted her and said, "Mrs. Gu, when Shizi went to the border five years ago, my Yan'er was only eight years old!" The two of them don't match at all, and the son of the world is too old......"
This is a direct refusal, there is no room for maneuver, Mrs. Jinye Hou sat there without speaking, the expression on her face was a little ugly, but before she could speak, a person suddenly burst out from behind the screen, stretched out her hand and pointed at Mrs. Xu and scolded: "Mrs. Xu, do you think your daughter Li Ziyan is so good?" She can't play chess or play me, she can't do poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female red boudoir training, everything is my defeat, what is there to pick and choose from my brother? Don't say that my brother can't look down on his daughter, Li Ziyan is just upside down, and my brother won't marry her! Is it really so easy to enter when we have the gate of the Jinye Mansion? ”
This sudden pause suddenly made Mrs. Xu stunned, and after she reacted, she trembled with anger, and the jewels on her head trembled, as if she would fall one or two if she was not careful. She pointed her finger at Gu Yuetong, who was standing in front of her proudly, and sneered: "Who should I be!" It turns out that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince has appointed the crown princess! Sure enough, it's a big breath! Yes, we are not as good as Yan'er! It's not as good as this eldest lady of the ancient family, she likes to listen to the corner, and she dares to point at the son of a first-class woman in the imperial court and scold, today I am really eye-opening! ”
This pause suddenly made Gu Yuetong blush, and when she rushed in, she was filled with righteous indignation in her heart, and she didn't think of the consequences, and at this moment she was sneered at by Mrs. Xu, she suddenly felt that her behavior was inappropriate, but at this time, there was no turning back, since she had rushed in, she had to go on with this matter, and there was no reason to retreat!
Therefore, she still stood there with her chest puffed up, and just as she was about to speak out against Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Jinye Hou on the side opened her mouth: "Tong'er, why are you here?" ”
Gu Yuetong immediately turned her head and saw her mother sitting on the right side of the head, she hurriedly bent down and asked for a leaf: "Mother." ”
"I'm asking how it's here?" Mrs. Kazuba asked with some reproach. When she saw her daughter, she was also greatly surprised, but more than that, she was annoyed.
Why is Tong'er so impulsive? What a waste of all these years of her careful teaching! At this moment, Mrs. Jinye Hou didn't have time to think about why Gu Yuetong was here, she was full of anger in her heart, this child, what did she interject when an adult spoke!
"Mother, I didn't want my brother to marry that Xu Ziyan, so I quietly followed.
Gu Yuetong is still very respectful to her mother.
Mrs. Xu was scolded by a junior in public, how could the resentment in her heart easily disappear, seeing this opportunity at this moment, she immediately sneered and scolded: "Tsk, marriage is a major event, since ancient times, it has been the parents who have been in charge, I never thought that the Jinye Houfu was different!" The marriage of the dignified son of the world, and his own sister is the master, tsk, this is really unique! ”
As she spoke, she turned her head to Mrs. Kazuba Hou and smiled and said, "Madam, is this the most amazing thing about ancient and modern exchanges?" ”
"Mrs. Xu, my sister is not right, but there is no need to be so aggressive, right? Embarrass a twelve-year-old child, this is the demeanor of Mrs. Yipin? When Mrs. Kashiba heard this, there was a hint of embarrassment on her face, and she was about to answer, but at this moment, a person strode in from outside the screen.
"Xi'er, how could it be?" Mrs. Kazuba Hou was taken aback when she saw the person coming clearly.
Mrs. Xu suddenly sneered and said, "It turns out that not only the eldest lady of the Gu family likes to listen to people's corners, but it turns out that the second lady is too!" ”
"Madame is wrong!" Gu Ruoxi's face was calm and said: "Today's matter is related to our eldest brother's lifelong affairs, and our sisters are concerned about it, so it is not a big deal to offend Madame, but it is better than some people hiding here and listening to their mothers discuss marriage with others." So saying, she turned and went out, and pulled another man in from behind the screen.
The man was also a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, dressed in a bright yellow embroidered summer shirt, with a delicate melon seed face, and at the moment those big watery eyes were angry. Obviously, being caught by Gu Ruoxi was something she didn't expect.
"Yan'er!" When Mrs. Xu saw this woman, she immediately screamed and pounced.
Gu Ruoxi dragged Xu Ziyan to the side and flashed to the side, and said lightly: "Mrs. Xu, please respect yourself, you are Mrs. Yipin, don't you behave like this, let others see it, isn't it a joke?" ”
Just now, Mrs. Xu sarcastically mocked Gu Yuetong with irregular behavior, and at this moment, Gu Ruoxi drew a gourd in the same way and fought back.
“!” Mrs. Xu pounced, and suddenly almost scolded in anger, her good cultivation of the lady of the family almost broke in front of Gu Ruoxi.
Gu Yuetong saw her like this on the side, but she felt very relieved!
Mrs. Jinye Hou was originally angry because Gu Yuetong suddenly jumped out and scolded Mrs. Xu, but when she saw what her youngest daughter did, she felt that if she came to the rescue, she could resolve the messy situation in front of her, therefore. She sat there silent.
"Mother!" At this moment, Xu Ziyan, who was grabbed by Gu Ruoxi by one arm, suddenly opened her mouth and called Mrs. Xu. His face was sad, as if he had suffered a great deal of pain.
When Mrs. Xu saw it, she was immediately distressed, she turned her head, looked at Gu Ruoxi viciously and said, "Second Miss Gu, please let go of the little girl!" ”
"Why not let her go
Can? Gu Ruoxi said slowly: "But Mrs. Xu, you have always advertised that your daughter is very good, so good that our eldest brother is not worthy of it, presumably, she must be better than our sisters, and she will never throw herself into her mother's arms as soon as she lets go, like a child who has not yet been weaned, right?" With that, she let go of Xu Ziyan.
Xu Ziyan originally planned to throw herself into Mrs. Xu's arms and cry bitterly. But after listening to Gu Ruoxi's words, she stopped abruptly, but the look in her eyes was quite resentful.
Hateful! The mouth of the second lady of the ancient family is really powerful!
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she saw that her daughter was standing there and did not come, so she withdrew her outstretched arms with hatred.
"What the hell is going on? Yan'er, why is it behind the screen? In order to hide her embarrassment, Mrs. Xu asked.
Xu Ziyan sobbed and cried for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Just now, the prince came to me." Saying that he would never marry me, I was very angry, and was about to come over to ask my mother, in that case, why did Mrs. Kashiba Hou invite our mother and daughter to go to the Huguo Temple? This is too deceitful! ”
It's one thing to look down on others, but what she didn't expect was that the person she looked down on actually looked down on herself, which made Xu Ziyan suddenly feel ashamed, she ran back to question, but as soon as she entered the door, she was restrained by Gu Ruoxi, and she was very aggrieved at the moment.
In the room, Xu Ziyan's voice was a little low, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, and Mrs. Jinye Hou was a little ashamed to hear it, because this was the situation she already knew; And after Mrs. Xu heard this, she immediately cut Mrs. Jinye Hou with her eyes like a knife. I also made up my mind in my heart that I would resolutely not associate with Mrs. Kazuba Hou in the future! This woman is so unkind!
