Chapter 264: Mustard
β? οΌοΌ
"Dad, what's going on?" Ever since he heard the words of Marquis Jinye, the last smile on Gu Xiaoye's face disappeared, and a trace of anger appeared between his eyebrows, but just now when the Xu family was present, he didn't get angry, and it wasn't until this moment that he couldn't help but refute it.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that Chengye has been arguing about learning martial arts some time ago, and my father thought it was also a good thing, so he agreed on his own initiative, and when he came back, he asked him to learn martial arts." Marquis Jinye said with some embarrassment. As he spoke, he didn't dare to look into his eldest son's eyes.
"I'm not going to teach him!" When Gu Xiaoye heard this, he immediately sneered: "A concubine, he also wants me to teach him martial arts!" Don't look at his body, his bones are strong! Don't let me go down and beat him up with a punch! β
When Kageha Hou heard this, he suddenly felt his heart jump, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly remembered that the son in front of him was no longer the son who didn't understand anything in the past, he had been on the battlefield and killed the enemy! The long knife in his hand has licked blood, and there are dead people under his hand! With such a person, how could he trust his youngest son to him?
In just a moment, Jin Ye Hou had the idea of retreating, but soon, he dispelled this idea, he was the head of the family, when would it be Gu Xiaoye's turn to be arrogant in front of him? What's more, he had already promised the Xu family, but he couldn't convince his son at the moment, did he have the face to see the Xu family when he turned back?
Thinking like this, Jinye Hou said with a cold face: "I have already come down to this matter, even if I don't agree, I have to agree!" β
"Whoever promises something, who will teach!" Gu Xiaoye retorted without thinking,
"Xiaoye!" Marquis of Jinye immediately became angry: "How did you talk to Ben Hou!" Chengye is also a younger brother, so let him teach him martial arts, just get a trick or two and fool it over, it's not a big deal, look at what kind of attitude this is! β
"Master Hou, don't be so angry, Xiao'er, he just came back......" Mrs. Jinye Hou saw that her husband and son had a conflict on the side, and immediately opened her mouth to dissuade her.
But Gu Xiaoye still stiffened his neck and said mercilessly: "Dad, Prince Lian asked his son to go hunting in Nanshan tomorrow, and his son went back to rest, if there is anything, I will talk about it later." With that, he turned and strode out.
Jinye Hou was almost crazy by his words, he stood there tremblingly, his body was like a storm blowing, Xiao Suo, until Gu Xiaoye's figure disappeared, he turned his head to Mrs. Jinye Hou and said angrily: "Look at what a good son you raised!" I'm really going to be angry! β
"Lord Wang, if you can figure out the difference between the concubines and the concubines and correct your attitude, Xiao'er will never do this." Mrs. Jinye Hou said calmly: "Since the upper beam is not right, how can it be blamed that the lower beam is crooked!" β
βοΌβ When Jinye Hou heard this, his face turned blue with anger, and he glared at Mrs. Jinye Hou with fierce eyes and said, "I never thought that I could say such a thing."
οΌ I'm just such a concubine in total, and I'm still an old man, so I can't help but spoil him? β
"Lord Wang, I forgot, there is only one sister-in-law like Xiao Er." Mrs. Kazuba Hou said word by word.
Hearing this, the expression on Jinye Hou's face stiffened slightly, but soon, he snorted coldly: "Clever tongue is like a bullet!" I just can't see that I'm good to Chengye! Anyway, Xiao Er has killed people on the battlefield, and I don't know how much better that means than in the past, if he really wants to teach Chengye martial arts, I'm not at ease, he doesn't want to go, then let's stop this matter! After saying that, Jin Yehou didn't look at his wife again, turned around and strode out. οΌ
Mrs. Kazuba Hou watched him leave with a calm face.
"Mingxiang, close the courtyard door, turn off the lights, and only leave the bedroom." As she spoke, Mrs. Kashiba slowly turned around and went into the house. Looking at the back, it is clearly very lonely, but the straight backbone makes people dare not despise it at all.
Hou Ye went to Aunt Xu's place to rest again. Mingxiang sighed, bowed her head in response, and then turned and retreated.
Nothing was said all night.
In the early morning of the second day, Gu Ruoxi was still asleep, and she was woken up, she opened her eyes and subconsciously shouted a word of Jinse, and the person who shook her was immediately angry: "Sister! What a look! Jin Se is out there! β
Gu Ruoxi was taken aback, and she was scared to wake up, she saw Gu Yuetong in front of her in a garnet red Luo Qun, the little girl's luxurious but beautiful dress was very eye-catching, even Gu Yuetong subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "Sister, what are you looking for me?" β
"What can I do? Of course, you're here to come with me to visit my eldest brother! Gu Yuetong said with a fluttering face: "Do you know? Last night, Big Brother he finally came back! That look was really excited, excited.
"He's back?" Gu Ruoxi muttered and repeated, her expression not debating joy and sorrow.
Gu Yuetong was anxious to pull her to visit Gu Xiaoye in Songtao Courtyard, but she didn't notice this, but just urged one after another: "Okay, let's hurry up!" Don't grind around! β
Gu Ruoxi looked down at his appearance of being cloaked and wearing only a middle coat. Suddenly said helplessly: "Sister, no matter how fast you are, you have to let me dress and wash up?" How do I get out like this? β
Gu Yuetong noticed this, she looked down at Gu Ruoxi, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes: "Who says you always like to sleep lazy?" Move fast! With that, he finally let go of Gu Ruoxi, got up and went to sit and drink tea in the flower hall outside.
Gu Ruoxi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered Jin Se and the others to serve him to dress and wash. Naturally, the action was a lot faster than usual.
After a stick of incense, Gu Ruoxi appeared in front of Gu Yuetong refreshed, she still combed her iconic temples, but the whole person looked better
I didn't know how much better I looked at before, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.
"Alright, let's go quickly! Big brother, he must have finished practicing the sword. Gu Yuetong glanced at her, and immediately got up and walked out the door, Gu Yuetong hurriedly followed.
The Songtao Courtyard where the eldest young master of the Gu family lives is in the southeast of the Hou Mansion, close to the outer courtyard, and there is a distance from the courtyard where the Gu Yuetong sisters live.
"Look, why is my body weak like this, I don't dare to bring it out next time, otherwise, my mother will definitely scold me if she finds out." Gu Yuetong walked such a long way, her little face was flushed, revealing a healthy glow, at this moment, she turned her head to look at Gu Yuetong and pouted, and shook her head at her weak appearance.
"Sister, don't you know that I have just recovered from a serious illness?" Gu Ruoxi gasped and spoke.
"That's right." Gu Yuetong smiled embarrassedly, and was about to say something more, but a deep voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Tong'er!" β
Sister Gu Yuetong suddenly turned around and glanced towards the courtyard of Songtao, only to see a handsome man in a dark green robe slowly walking out of the courtyard, looking at Sister Gu Yuetong with a smile on his face, the lazy sun shining on his cheeks in the morning, adding a little charm to this smile.
"Big brother!" Gu Yuetong suddenly screamed in surprise, left Gu Ruoxi and rushed over.
Gu Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, and then raised his feet and walked over slowly.
"I haven't seen you for five years, and my sisters are so marked." Gu Xiaoye stroked Gu Yuetong's sideburns who ran in front of her, and said with a smile on her face: "You have become a big girl." As he spoke, he glanced up at Gu Ruoxi, although he was also smiling, but there was obviously a little more alienation in that smile: "Little sister is also here?" Not bad, not bad. β
"Big brother." Gu Ruoxi stood one meter away from the two of them, bent down and asked Gu Xiaoye for a leaf.
"Get up, do we brothers and sisters still need to be so polite?" Gu Xiaoye waved his hand.
That being said, he behaves in words and deeds
Gu Ruoxi saw the alienation clearly, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
It seems that the relationship between Gu Ruoxi and his brother is indeed not very good.
"Okay, let's all go into the house, Tong'er, I know I'm coming, my eldest brother asked the kitchen to prepare my favorite hibiscus cake." Gu Xiaoye looked at Gu Yuetong with a smile and said.
"Yes, yes!" Gu Yuetong happily responded, took Gu Xiaoye's arm and walked towards the courtyard, she also took the time to wave her hand at Gu Ruoxi, signaling her to follow.
Gu Ruoxi had no choice but to follow. But for Gu Xiaoye, her nominal brother, she really can't be intimate.
After entering, the situation was really similar to the outside, it was still Gu Yuetong and Gu Xiaoye, the two brothers and sisters, who were very affectionate and affectionate about their feelings of longing after all these years of separation, and Gu Ruoxi sat honestly on the side,
Without a word.
It's easy to wait until lunchtime, Gu Ruoxi immediately slipped back to Luomei Curie under the pretext of drinking medicine, just that kind of scene, she didn't experience half of the joy of seeing brother and sister, only felt the deep estrangement between herself and these two.
Why is that? Shouldn't it be? Whether it is two brothers and sisters in the Gu family, or Gu Xiaoye, they are all born to the same mother, it stands to reason that they are the closest people, but Gu Ruoxi can see from the scene of today's encounter that Gu Xiaoye is not interested in herself. In other words, it is very detached and polite.
This was so strange that Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.
And on the side of Songtao Courtyard, as soon as Gu Ruoxi left, the smile on Gu Xiaoye's face faded, he retreated left and right, and interrogated Gu Yuetong: "Over the years, what abnormal behavior has she had?" β
'She'. Naturally, it refers to Guruoxi.
Gu Yuetong smiled slightly and said, "Big brother, these days, her body has been very weak, and she is basically recuperating in bed, in such a situation, how can she have other thoughts?" Think too much. ββ
"But don't be careless, think about how she has been competing for favor in the past, for the position of the crown princess, and for the favor of her mother. Gu Xiaoye frowned and said, "Saying that she is sick in bed, I see that this matter is not simple." β
When Gu Yuetong heard this, her eyes flashed, but she lowered her head and responded: "What the eldest brother said is that I was indeed careless." β
"The letter said that the prince often came to visit her in the palace during this time, what is going on?" Gu Xiaoye frowned and continued to ask.
When Gu Yuetong heard this, she immediately lowered her head and said, "Big brother, that's it!" Who can understand the prince's thoughts? said that he came to visit me, but he went to Luomei Ju every time ......" This tone is slow, although the speaker tries his best to show carelessness, but the loss and unwillingness in the words are quite obvious.
"I wrote so many letters to her, telling her to keep an eye on her, but I just didn't listen! Do you have to let her figure it out before she regrets it? Then Prince Xuanyuan Yan entered the mansion three times and twice to see her, but he didn't do anything at all? Gu Xiaoye asked with some hatred that iron is not made of steel. When 'she' was mentioned in his tone, he was full of disgust.
"Big brother, I know it's for my good, but Ruoxi is my own sister, she shouldn't do anything to rob my fiancΓ©, right?" Gu Yuetong said a little timidly.
"Stupid! If you have such a mind, you won't know if you're sold! Gu Xiaoye suddenly became angry: "A rich and noble family like ours is only driven by interests, where is there any family affection at all?" Nian Gu and the sisterhood between her, did she ever think of it when she seduced the prince? β
Gu Yuetong was speechless for a while, and after a while, she slowly mustered up the courage to ask, "So,
Big brother, what should I do? β
"Didn't my mother say that she would take us to the Huguo Temple to offer incense in two days? When the time comes, I will find a few people on the road, and I will end up with her halfway! Gu Xiaoye's eyes suddenly showed a hint of fierceness.
Gu Yuetong was taken aback when she heard this, and she asked in disbelief: "Brother! She's our own sister! How can you be so ruthless? As she spoke, she shook her head violently: "I don't agree with this!" β
For Gu Ruoxi, a follower who has been by her side since she was a child, Gu Yuetong still has a deep affection in her heart. So, as soon as she heard this, she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Tong'er! Listen to me! The Gu family can only have one rightful eldest lady! That is! Gu Xiaoye immediately stood up from the chair, stretched out her hand and grabbed Gu Yuetong's shoulder, and said word by word: "When the two of us were not yet born, the Empress Dowager Wende in the palace set up our Gu family's family affair for the prince who was only one year old at the time, and the queen mother personally said that the eldest daughter of the Gu family was the crown princess, but who would have expected that the mother gave birth to two girls who were exactly the same?" This means that there are two candidates for the crown princess, and Gu Ruoxi is only a few quarters of an hour younger, who can guarantee that she has no idea about getting rid of it? After all, everything he has is what all the daughters of the boudoir in the capital dream of, who doesn't want to be the crown princess? β
Gu Yuetong suddenly fell silent.
Gu Xiaoye saw that there was a hint of loosening in her expression, so she continued to persuade: "I said a long time ago that she is a person who shouldn't exist at all. Why care about this little bit of affection? One day, when her wings are stiff, it is a time of great regret! It's better to take advantage of this moment, she is fledgling, and get rid of this henchman! β
"Brother, no matter what the method is, why do you have to get to the point of death?" Gu Yuetong never accepted what Gu Xiaoye had just said. Let Gu Ruoxi die, this is something she has never thought about.
"Even if you don't believe what I say, then think about when I was young, when I was seven years old, she inadvertently pushed the water down, and she fell seriously ill because of it, and almost died because of it; Going forward, the box of poisonous pollen back then almost ruined her appearance, can you say that she is innocent? Don't care at all? Gu Xiaoye clearly understood her thoughts from her sister-in-law's eyes, and immediately spoke, counting the ugly things Gu Ruoxi did back then. He knew that only in this way could he completely arouse the hatred that had accumulated in his sister's heart.
Hearing this, Gu Yuetong's eyes really had a hint of coldness, it was obvious that she remembered all the past events that Gu Xiaoye said, even if many years had passed, she couldn't let go of that kind of mustard in her heart, but in the end, she said in a low voice: "Big brother, in the past two years, such a thing has been eliminated, I, I don't want to watch her die." β
"There will always be a day when you regret it!" Gu Xiaoye saw that he couldn't persuade Gu Yuetong in every way,
Suddenly sighed and sat back in the chair: "What do you think I did when I ran to the border with Prince Lian desperately?" Don't you want to grasp some military power in your own hands, get a place above the court, and rely on it in the future? Whether the position of the crown princess can sit firmly depends on me in the future! β
"I know it all!" Gu Yuetong suddenly spoke: "Big brother, everything is for my good, I never doubted this." I also know the concerns in my heart, afraid that my sister will be ambitious and take away everything that belongs to me, so I take precautions and want to eliminate her now. But have you ever thought that no matter what, Ruoxi has always been our sister, and she has the closest blood relationship with us, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons, why do we have to do things so desperately? β
"So what should I do?" Hearing this, Gu Xiaoye slowly put away the angry expression on his face, and solemnly turned his head to look at Gu Yuetong.
"It's very simple, she doesn't have a mother-in-law now, and she hasn't set a family affair, so she will be worried about my crown princess throne, and when her father and mother set a family affair for her, she will put her mind away." Gu Yuetong said slowly.
"Sister, it's too naΓ―ve to think about it." As soon as I heard this. Gu Xiaoye suddenly frowned: "People's ambitions are difficult to change, she dreams of the position of the crown princess, thinking that if she finds a random in-law, she will obediently obey?" That's impossible. β
