♂? ，，

I don't know how much bigger Haitang Ju is than Luomei Julai, and I want to know that the residence of the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion is naturally much better than that of the second lady, because the big family values the word 'chief'. At this moment, Gu Ruoxi was standing in front of the huge shadow wall at the gate of the Begonia Residence, and he couldn't see the scene inside. I only smelled the aroma of begonias coming out of it.

Gu Ruoxi was in a trance for a moment, and she also remembered many things.

This begonia dwelling, there are no less than 100 high-quality begonias planted in it, it was transplanted from Jiangnan and other places with great effort in the year of Jinye Hou, and the second year it bloomed, and the fragrance once drifted for several miles, and the people in the capital were alarmed, and even the original emperor also sat on the emperor to watch in person, that is, on that day. The emperor personally decreed that Gu Yuetong, the eldest lady of the Gu family, was crowned the crown prince and concubine, and she only entered the palace when she grew up.

It was also from that time that Haitang Residence became Gu Yuetong's residence.

The scene was so beautiful back then, but no one remembered that there was a second lady in the Gu family.

Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly, but there was a hint of coldness in her smile. Everyone in the world can only see the scenery on the surface of the Hou Mansion, but few people see the crises behind the scenery. She didn't know if the destruction of the Gu family's full door started from the original marriage decree, or from her entering the palace instead of Gu Yuetong, or both. The past life is like a passing cloud, but she can't forget it.

In a short period of time, Gu Ruoxi's thoughts have been over a thousand sails.

"Hey, our young lady, please come in!" At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

Gu Ruoxi looked up. I saw Qiulan coming out from behind the shadow wall, looking at her with disgust.

Seeing her, Gu Ruoxi immediately remembered that in Huguo Temple, it was this Qiulan who deliberately pushed her down by mistake who had swam to the shore, and after that, there was a series of things in Xuanyuan Jingxi......

There was a hint of darkness in her eyes instantly, but her face was very respectful: "Sister Qiulan, the eldest lady invited me in?" ”

"Of course! Don't hurry up yet! Are the maids around the second lady as stupid? Qiulan said impatiently. turned around and strode into the courtyard, and Gu Ruoxi hurriedly followed.

Because she has always lowered her head and neck and has a respectful attitude, Qiulan has never found any flaws.

As soon as he entered the inside, the fragrance of begonias became even stronger, Gu Ruoxi lowered his head, did not dare to look around, only followed the figure of Qiulan in front of him, and walked into the hall step by step.

"Miss, the glass has been brought." As soon as Qiulan entered the door, she said respectfully to Gu Yuetong, who was sitting in front of the window.

Gu Ruoxi lowered her head, not daring to look at the expression on Gu Yuetong's face. The face was so similar to her own that she was afraid to see some strange expression from it.

After a long time, Gu Yuetong slowly spoke: "It's called Liuli, right?" Keep your head up. ”

Guruo Creek breathes

Suddenly suffocated. Her heart beat faster, and she slowly stabilized her mind before looking up.

Gu Yuetong glanced at her casually, and said, "Miss of the family, why do you always send out to the mansion these two days?" What did they all go out for? She didn't realize that the mediocre maid in front of her was actually her sister pretending to be at all.

Gu Ruoxi didn't expect her to ask this, her mind was racing, and the next moment, she replied respectfully: "Back to the eldest lady, our young lady sent the slave maid out of the house, just to let the slave maid go out to buy some things for her." ”

"Oh? What did she buy? Gu Yuetong asked with interest.

"Back to the eldest lady, there are a lot of them, sometimes it's some pastries, but sometimes, it's some medicine ...... grabbed from the pharmacy," Gu Ruoxi said eloquently: "Once, my young lady also ordered the slave maid to go to the street to buy her some spices. The places she said were all places where she turned around in order to avoid Xuanyuan Jingxi's tracking.

Gu Yuetong looked at her unhurried appearance, and she believed a little in her heart, and she asked again, "That's all?" ”

Gu Ruoxi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, eldest miss, that's it." ”

Qiulan on the side immediately reprimanded: "Nonsense! It's not over at all! And these words are full of flaws, the second lady is already sick in bed, how could she send out to buy pastries? We don't have many of them! I also went to the pharmacy to grab medicine, didn't the imperial doctor prescribe medicine to the second lady? As for the spices, it's even more nonsense, how can those things bought outside compare to those things in our house? It can be seen that it is a lie at all! ”

Qiulan's aggressive momentum didn't know how many maids were frightened before, and many people were so frightened by her, so they hurriedly told the truth, but unfortunately, what she met today was Gu Ruoxi.

"Sister Qiulan, our young lady sent a slave maid out to buy pastries for her, that is because every time she drinks medicine, her mouth is bitter, and the pastries in the house are good, but she eats every day, and when there is always a greasy taste, the Poria cakes in Zhen Gui Fang are good, so the second lady often sends slaves and maids to buy some, what is there to deceive?" Gu Ruoxi said lightly: "As for my young lady sending a slave to the pharmacy to grab medicine, it is because the imperial doctor has always been helpless about the injury on her arm, and the young lady has borrowed a medical book from the Hou Ye, and she wants to try to study it herself." In the end, those spices are just the occasional rise of the young lady, sending slaves and maids to buy them back to play, always lying in bed, she also has times when she is bored, right? ”

The three questions raised by Qiulan were explained by her department, and they were reasonable.

"Liuli, I used to look taciturn, but I didn't expect to talk like a Tao!" Qiulan snorted coldly.

"Sister Qiulan, the slave is just telling the truth." Gu Ruoxi said calmly.

Qiulan snorted coldly

Ignore her.

Gu Yuetong sat there, playing with a string of snow-white and moist pearls in her hand, looking at the color, it was definitely the best grade. After a long while, she said slowly: "Even if what she said is true, then I have to ask, is the chalcedony paste of our young lady really used up?" ”

Gu Ruoxi didn't expect that she was still thinking about this, not to mention that it was her life-saving medicine, even if it wasn't, she wasn't going to give it to Gu Yuetong, a person who was in good health and ate a lot of fragrance, always thinking about other people's ointments.

"Back to the eldest lady, the chalcedony paste is in charge of Jinse, and the slave doesn't know."

Listening to her words, Gu Yuetong nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's there in Jinse!" "He's like Eba.

Gu Ruoxi lowered her head, and no one could read the expression on her face clearly.

Qiulan interjected on the side: "Liuli, didn't you become curious about the chalcedony paste, didn't you secretly go to see where Jinse put it away?" ”

"Qiulan! Shut up! Gu Yuetong finally reprimanded her and said, "Why are there so many words! “

Qiulan was silent for a moment.

Gu Yuetong turned her head, looked at Gu Ruoxi with a smile and said: "Liuli, I have never been very important in my little sister, now, I give you a chance to be promoted, do you want it?" ”

"What chance?" When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately raised his head.

Gu Yuetong was very satisfied with her reaction, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Liuli, guess." ”

The devil knows what the idea is! Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, but her face was sincerely frightened: "The slave doesn't know." ”

"Now, everyone knows that I am going to be called here, and they stayed for a while, saying, after the word goes out, will Miss Jia be suspicious?" Gu Yuetong stood up from the cool collapse, slowly walked to Gu Ruoxi's side, stared into her eyes and said, "In the future, I will be even more unpopular in Luomei Curie, don't you say?" ”

It turned out that it was this idea! That would be doomed to disappointment. Gu Ruoxi said secretly in her heart.

"Please save me!" The next moment, she said this sentence very reasonably.

Gu Yuetong listened, and a gentle smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Liuli, she is a good girl, as long as she does things for me, Miss Ben will never be treated badly, in the future, it is possible that she will be transferred to my side, are you happy?" ”

Gu Ruoxi listened at once

With the tentative meaning of this sentence, she knelt down and said, "Miss! This must not be! The slave will not betray my young lady! ”

The smile on Gu Yuetong's face froze, and the smile on her face faded a little, she turned around and sat down on the couch again, and then said slowly: "Oh? Is this true? ”

"Seriously!" Guruo Creek cuts the railway. She had already expected that Gu Yuetong was testing her, so she replied very resolutely, Liuli has always been loyal to her, the same as Jinse, if Gu Yuetong said it, she would rebel, that's it

It's suspicious.

Sure enough, when Gu Yuetong heard this, she suddenly smiled and said, "Liuli, you know, I have a thousand ways to agree to this matter." ”

Gu Yuetong bowed her head and was silent.

Gu Yuetong said slowly: "I also have a thousand ways to let you die quietly, do you want to try it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Ruoxi's face suddenly changed.

Qiulan saw it on the side, and said with a smug smile: "How about it, if you don't want to die, then you can only promise my young lady!" It's better not to be suspicious of her words! ”

"The slave never dared to doubt the words of the eldest lady." Gu Ruoxi said calmly: "But I know more that a traitor, no matter where he goes, he has no future. When Gu Yuetong heard this, her eyebrows suddenly raised, and she said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Gu Ruoxi said lightly: "If I really betrayed my young lady, then from the moment of betrayal, I would become a street rat." The eldest lady will surely think that if I can betray her, then one day I will betray you too, so I will never be reused in you. ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, her face changed, but she didn't speak. He is like a central skill.

Qiulan, who has always liked to interject, didn't say anything at this time.

Gu Ruoxi continued: "And our young lady will always know the day when the slave betrays her, and then the slave and the maid will die, and the eldest lady will save the slave and the maid at that time?" No, for the sake of self-preservation, you will only want the slave to die, because then the slave will be useless. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qiulan couldn't bear it anymore. She jumped up and pointed at Gu Ruoxi and scolded: "What a! Dare to question the eldest lady! Don't die, don't you? As she spoke, she pulled up her sleeves, turned her head to Gu Yuetong and said, "Miss, you quickly give the order to let the slave and maid smoke this girl to death!" ”

Gu Yuetong heard this, but waved her hand, signaling her not to speak, she turned her head, looked at Gu Ruoxi and said, "Liuli." It seems that I have thought about this issue before, knowing that I am calling for this? As he spoke, his eyes suddenly changed.

Gu Ruoxi replied calmly: "Back to the eldest lady, the slave didn't expect you to say this before, but as a maid, such a thing is always inevitable, the slave and maid thought so in their hearts from the beginning, and it was the same for whoever asked." “

"It's smart, I even expected this in advance!" Gu Yuetong sneered and said, "So, I won't agree to my proposal?" “

Gu Ruoxi responded: "Yes, the slave will not agree. “

She replied without hesitation.

Gu Yuetong stared at her for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Okay! Sure enough, she is a faithful maid who protects the Lord! So I'm relieved. “

"Miss! She is the central protector there, and she is clearly stubborn! I'm really going to follow you. There must be an inexhaustible anger! Qiulan snorted coldly on the side.

Gu Yuetong is

ignored her, but turned to look at Gu Ruoxi and said, "Liuli, this girl Miss Ben is going to be decided!" Don't worry, as long as you are willing to use it for me, there will definitely be inexhaustible benefits in the future, Miss Ben will treat it as her own, like Qiulan, how about it? “

Gu Ruoxi didn't say anything.

Qiulan couldn't help it, she crossed her waist and scolded: "Liuli! Don't be ashamed! Miss: That's good enough. If you don't know what to do, don't blame the eldest lady for being polite! ”

Gu Ruoxi was unmoved, she turned her head to look at Gu Yuetong, and said, "Eldest Miss, if the slave really betrays the second lady and follows her, will she definitely treat me like Qiulan?" ”

"That's right, that's it!" Gu Yuetong thought she was relieved, so she agreed.

Gu Ruoxi said lightly: "But the slave maid still can't betray the second miss." ”

“！” Qiu Lan angrily pointed at Gu Ruoxi, and was about to scold, but Gu Yuetong on the side frowned and said, "Qiu Lan, retreat!" Always so impatient, wouldn't it be a shame for me to be seen by outsiders? ”

Qiu Lan was reprimanded, and immediately lowered her head.

After reprimanding Qiulan. Gu Yuetong turned her head, this time, she didn't have a good face: "Liuli, I have said all the good things, and I am indifferent, I really don't care about my brother and sister-in-law's Ye Wei?" I heard that my sister-in-law just gave birth to a nephew last month......"

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, his face suddenly changed fiercely.

Gu Yuetong smiled: "I care about them very much, don't you?" If you don't agree to me today, then my sister-in-law will really have to suffer a lot because of this......"

"Don't threaten me with them again, I promise." Gu Ruoxi said coldly.

"Good! Finally relented. Gu Yuetong clapped her hands and said, "This is a good girl!" Don't worry, brother and sister-in-law, I will definitely send someone to take care of them, and I will not feel that I am at a loss. ”

Qiu Lan pouted on the side and said, "Something that has no eyes!" Thank you, Miss! "It looks like Gu Ruoxi has received a great favor.

Gu Ruoxi looked directly at Gu Yuetong and said: "Miss, the slave hopes that you will not interfere in this matter, brother and sister-in-law, they only need to live with flat leaves, and Liuli will rest assured." ”

"It's easy to do! I said yes right away! Gu Yuetong said with a smile, said, clapped her hands and commanded Qiu Lan: "Since Liuli has promised to help me do things, it will be my own family in the future, go and get twenty taels of silver, give it to her, and count it as hard-earned money." ”

It's generous, but it's just to buy off a maid, and you can give twenty taels at once! According to the monthly silver of Liuli and their maids, the twenty taels of silver will take a year and eight months to save, and they have to eat or drink without eating.

When Qiulan heard this on the side, her jealous eyes were about to erupt into fire, but she could only go to get the silver in a daze.

Gu Ruoxi's eyes flashed, but she didn't speak.

After a while, Qiulan came with a heavy purse, held it up in front of Gu Ruoxi proudly, and said, "What, the young lady rewarded you, why don't you kneel down and thank you?" ”

Gu Ruoxi would be a fool if he really knelt.

She ignored Qiulan, let alone reached out to receive the silver, and only said to Gu Yuetong: "Miss, thank you for your reward, but you still have to ask someone to transfer this silver to the slave's brother and sister-in-law!" Hopefully they'll be better. "Since she wants to make a show, then she will come up with a set.

Gu Yuetong listened, and her heart was even more satisfied: "Sure enough, she is a girl who knows gratitude!" With that, she sent a mother-in-law to send the twenty taels of silver to the courtyard of the Hou Mansion in front of Gu Ruoxi.

Gu Ruoxi also made a grateful look at the right time.

Gu Yuetong was very satisfied, she smiled and said, "Okay, Qiulan, go get a basket of grapes and send her back!" ”

"Yes, Miss!" Although Qiulan responded, her face was full of unhappiness. She turned her head to look at Gu Ruoxi and said, "Follow me!" ”

Gu Ruoxi nodded, busy to follow, but at this moment, Gu Yuetong spoke again: "Liuli, since you want to do things for me, then you need to come here every few days to report the news of the master, this always needs a code, right?" Why don't you just call it 'Bright Moon and Green Mountains'? ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he frowned and said, "Miss, the slave is illiterate, and I can't remember these crepe sentences, so why don't you use 'Heavenly King Gaidi Tiger' as a code?" ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, the expression on her face suddenly twitched, but after thinking about it, Liuli was just a little girl who couldn't read big characters, and it was already good to be able to say a sentence like the Heavenly King Gaidi Tiger, which was really nothing to blame, she nodded and said, "Okay, just follow the meaning, what is the next sentence?" ”
