Chapter 258: Reflection
β? οΌοΌ
However, before he could think about it carefully, a guard came in outside the door and reported: "Master Hou! Miss Ding San asks to see! β
Gu Ruoxi secretly poked her head out from behind the bookshelf, and sure enough, she saw Jinye Hou frowning, obviously very tired of the woman outside the door.
Daddy is really decent!
Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but have a little admiration for his father behind the bookshelf. If Jin Yehou is the kind of man who doesn't care about humanity and covets the beauty of his sister-in-law, I'm afraid Gu Ruoxi will lose his appetite today.
"No, tell her to sit down with Madame." Jin Ye Hou's voice was rather cold.
"Yes! Master Hou! The guard answered, and immediately withdrew.
Gu Ruoxi retracted her head, leaned against the bookshelf and pondered, she knew that Ding Hailan would never give up.
Sure enough, after a while, the guard came in from outside with a look of embarrassment and reported: "Master Hou, Miss Ding said that she knows that Master Hou is in the study, if you refuse to see her, she will wait outside for a day!" β
It's really persistent! _The Golden Boudoir Jade Hall is updated quickly
Gu Ruoxi leaned against the bookshelf and couldn't help but show a sneer, she never expected that once she traveled to ancient times, she would meet so many superb people in less than three days!
Prince Xuanyuan Yan is one, and so is this Ding Hailan in front of him!
Jin Ye Hou didn't expect that Ding Hailan would be so persistent, the anger between his eyebrows was even worse, and the expression on his face became more and more impatient: "Go and ask her, what is there that has to be seen!" β
"Yes, Master Hou!" The guard was frightened by Kageha's sudden tone, and after only answering this, he hurriedly retreated.
Jin Ye Hou sat in the room, forgetting for a moment that Gu Ruoxi had just put on his face, and he was a little depressed in his heart.
Junlan's little sister is too indecent, no matter what, sixteen years old is not too young, it's time to find her mother-in-law. As a brother-in-law, he can contribute.
Junlan is the maiden name of Mrs. Jinye Hou.
Kazuba Hou thought, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Gu Ruoxi hid behind the bookshelf, did not poke her head out again, but sat there and listened carefully to the movement here, although this is the same room, but because the room is relatively wide, the bookshelves are stacked on top of each other, she wants to hear the movement here without dropping, she still needs to pay attention.
After a while, the guard went and returned, and said respectfully to Jinye Hou: "Master Hou, Miss Ding San said, she knows that Master Hou is busy with official business and is tired, so she personally boiled fish soup to replenish your body......
"Really?" When Jinye Hou heard this, he couldn't help frowning fiercely.
"Yes, Master Hou!" The guard slowly spoke: "My subordinates saw the maid next to Miss Ding San carrying a food box. β
The sister-in-law understood her brother-in-law's hard work and personally made fish soup and sent it, which was not the same
For the sake of excess, if he refuses strongly, it will seem that he lacks confidence and is too unkind. Thinking of this, Jinye Hou's eyebrows tightened, and after a long while, he slowly spoke: "Please Miss Ding come in!" β
"My subordinates obey." The guard answered, and then turned and retreated.
From beginning to end, when this guard came in to report, he didn't look up at the master in front of him, not knowing that the handsome and dashing prince of his family had become 'hateful'.
Gu Ruoxi leaned against the bookshelf and did not move. It was also expected that Kazuba Hou would have this reaction, but with her troubles, it is still unknown whether things will develop like in the previous life.
The corners of Gu Ruoxi's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer. She won't let go of any of these charms and ghosts of the ancient family!
After a while, footsteps sounded outside, and a delicate and soft female voice sounded at the door: "Brother-in-law! Hailan is polite! β
This voice was very delicate, and instantly made Gu Ruoxi, who was hiding far away, have goosebumps, she poked her head out from behind the bookshelf, and sure enough, she saw Ding Hailan, who was wearing a pale pink dress, standing a foot away in front of Jinye Hou, her head hanging low, her face was shy, and the maid behind her was carrying a food box in her hand.
"It's Hailan! It's all grown so big! After all, it was his wife's sister, and Jinye Hou was not too cold, so he asked casually.
This sentence gave Ding Hailan great courage, after all, although the man sitting at the table in front of her was just a kind appearance, he exuded a cold aura all over his body, which had to make her afraid. With Jinye Hou's words, she finally mustered up the courage to glance at the man in front of her who had been thinking about it for a long time.
"Ahh The next moment, a loud exclamation rang out in the study!
"How did my brother-in-law become like this?" Ding Hailan involuntarily took a big step back, and looked at a certain man who was standing not far in front of him in disbelief, his eyes were full of disappointment.
Jin Yehou was startled when he saw her, and wanted to open his mouth to explain, but before he opened his mouth, Ding Hailan took a big step back.
He immediately swallowed all the words of explanation, reached out and stroked his face, because of the sweat in the palms of his hands, this touch, Jinye Hou directly made himself into a big flower face, and his appearance was not comparable to the ugliest person in the troupe.
"Oh my God! Ding Hailan screamed again, this time she kept retreating, and there was no blood on her face.
When my sister got married, wasn't this brooda very handsome? How did he become like this after all these years?
Ding Hailan suddenly turned around and ran out, she really couldn't accept the fact that the handsome man she had been in love with for many years had become a sloppy uncle!
"Hyland, what's wrong?" Jinye Hou pretended to shout
, However, after hearing his words, Ding Hailan ran faster, and disappeared among the flowers in the courtyard after a while.
The guards guarding the door of the study looked at the master and servant running away, and when they looked back, everyone was confused. The owner of the house didn't speak, and none of them said a word.
"That's leaving?" In the room, Jinye Hou muttered to himself, as he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the heavy bookshelves in the room: "Come out!" The man is gone. β
It took a long time for a little girl in a skirt with sideburns to emerge, her eyes shining with a sly light.
"Tell me, did you already know she was going to be here?" Jinye Hou looked at the ghostly little daughter, and asked with a little crying and laughing.
Gu Ruoxi didn't intend to hide it, she nodded, and said: "Yes, father, my aunt went to my Luomei House today, and when she was leaving, her daughter vaguely heard her discussing with her maid to come here, so her daughter rushed over before her." As he spoke, Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly.
"So, you made your father look like this?" Jin Yehou said helplessly: "Are you going to scare her to death?" β
Gu Ruoxi didn't answer, just stood in place and grinned.
As soon as he saw his face in the mirror that was smeared by Gu Ruoxi, he suddenly gasped fiercely, and it took him a long time to react, he turned his head and stretched out a fan-like palm to Gu Ruoxi: "Xi'er, the courage is too big!" How dare you act like this as a father! No wonder Hailan is scared like that, if she never dares to come to the Hou Mansion in the future, see how her mother cleans up! β
"Wouldn't it be good if she didn't come?" Listening to Jin Yehou's reprimand, Gu Ruoxi was not afraid at all, and even the big hand of the pu fan that had been raised in front of her, she didn't care at all.
Listening to Gu Ruoxi's words, Jinye couldn't help but be stunned.
Ding Hailan's obsession with him, he can more or less experience it, but he has no interest in his sister-in-law, who is a teenager, Jin Yehou, in his eyes, Ding Hailan is like his daughter, how can he have feelings for such a woman? Over the years, in order to avoid Ding Hailan, Jinye Hou rarely even went to Ding's house, and even if he went, he deliberately avoided Ding Hailan.
Similarly, he didn't want Ding Hailan to run to Jinye Houfu often.
&n
bsp; Gu Ruoxi's move seemed to be playing tricks on him, but it really scared Ding Hailan, maybe that girl would never come to the Hou Mansion to play again.
In this way, Gu Ruoxi also helped him!
Thinking like this, when Jinye Hou went to see his little daughter again, there was no blame in his eyes, but there was a trace of inquiry. Starting
This little daughter of his, is a little different from the past
It's over!
Jin Yehou thought in his heart, but there was not much change in his expression, he said slowly to Gu Ruoxi: "Xi'er, aren't you here to borrow books?" Let's take a good look here first, and wash my father's face. β
"Don't mind, Dad, what if Auntie just thought she was dazzled and ran back to confirm again?" Gu Ruoxi hurriedly asked.
Jin Yehou was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he said: "You mean, you want to keep this face for your father?" β
Gu Ruoxi's heart blossomed, but he nodded solemnly.
Jinye Hou suddenly showed a bitter expression on his face, but after listening to Gu Ruoxi's words, he didn't wash his face.
An hour later, a guard came in and reported: "Master Hou, Miss Ding San left in a hurry with her luggage." β
"Really gone?" Kazuba asked in disbelief.
"Yes, Master Hou, her carriage has already left the gate of the Hou Mansion and passed through West Street." The guard replied respectfully.
When Kazuba Hou heard this, he felt a little relieved, but soon, he asked again, "Does Madame know about this?" β
"Back to the old man, when Miss Ding San left, she didn't say goodbye to her wife, and I think my wife didn't know it at this time." The guard stood still and thought for a moment.
When Jinye Hou heard this, he immediately sighed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down!" β
"Yes, Master Hou." The guard answered, and immediately turned and retreated.
Only then did Jin Yehou turn his gaze to Gu Ruoxi, who was thoughtful on the side, and said with a wry smile: "Xi'er, can my father go and wash his face now?" β
"Of course, do you need my daughter's help?" Gu Ruoxi blinked a pair of quirky eyes and asked with a smile.
Jin Ye Hou saw it, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just wash it myself, be obedient here, don't mess up my study." With that, he got up and went to the earroom next door. He often lives here, and there is everything in the house there.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to flip around." Gu Ruoxi replied with a smile, the expression on her face was extremely relaxed. finally got Ding Hailan away, and her heart didn't relax until this moment.
Seeing Jinye wait to leave, Gu Ruoxi turned his head to look at the books in the room, and his eyes showed a look of joy.
She traveled to this ancient time in a daze, although she had the memory of the previous owner of this body in her mind, but she still knew too little about this dynasty, and if she wanted to do great things, she had to know herself and her opponent.
Soon, she walked over to the rows of bookshelves in the room and took a closer look.
Jin Ye Hou washed his face, changed his clothes and came back, what he saw was Gu Ruoxi holding a thick book, standing in front of the bookshelf and watching quietly, the room was quiet, everything was still the same, this scene, it looked like Ye Shen was tight, but it made Jin Ye Hou eat slightly
Surprised.
His second daughter is different from the eldest daughter, lively and active, her temperament is not calm at all, and she never refuses to stop Ye Jing to learn something, in this family, the most calm is Gu Yuetong, just at that moment, the little girl in front of the bookshelf was the eldest daughter, until he saw Gu Ruoxi's sideburns, he didn't react.
Yes, Mrs. has always made the most detailed distinction between these two daughters who look exactly the same, from dressing up to rules and etiquette, Gu Ruoxi has always been raised as a delicate girl, and Gu Yuetong, that is the golden phoenix of the Gu family, sooner or later one day will fly into the palace mother's world, how can he be mistaken?
But that feeling just now was really weird......
Jin Yehou shook his head, threw away the thoughts in his mind, raised his feet and walked behind Gu Ruoxi, stretched out his head to look, but saw that what his youngest daughter was holding in his hand was actually a book of "Bamboo Year Chronicles", which was a history book about the current government and politics......
The surprise in Jin Yehou's heart was even worse, just before, he thought that Gu Ruoxi was just looking for a random book to read randomly, but he didn't expect that this girl would not read it, and it would be such an important book at first glance!
Moreover, this book Jin Ye Hou himself has also read, and he also wrote annotations in the margins of each page of the book......
"Xi'er, do you understand?"
There was a sudden sound of voice from behind, Gu Ruoxi was startled, but soon, she reacted, this voice was from Jinye.
"Dad, take your time, you'll always understand." Gu Ruoxi turned around, smiled slightly, and said.
Hearing this, Jinye Hou glanced at Gu Ruoxi with some suspicion, and was about to ask her what she understood, but at this moment, a guard outside the door came in and reported: "Lord Hou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see!" β
"How did he come?" When Jinye Hou heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, there was a sound from behind him, "Plop! With a bang, it seemed that something had fallen to the ground.
As soon as Jin Yehou turned around, he saw Gu Ruoxi hurriedly bending down to pick up the book that had fallen on the ground, seeing him looking, Gu Ruoxi smiled a little embarrassedly, and immediately asked, "Dad, do you have a back door in this study?" β
"What are you going to do?" Jinye Houhu asked suspiciously.
At this moment, Gu Ruoxi heard noisy footsteps outside, it seemed that Xuanyuan Yan was about to come in, she hurriedly said to Jinye Hou: "Dad, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my sister's fiancΓ©, I always have to avoid it, right?" β
"That's just as well." When Jinye Hou heard this, he immediately nodded: "If you can think like this, the proof of your mind is correct and not crooked, but there is no back door in my study." As he spoke, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.
Gu Ruoxi didn't expect that she had to spend so much time, and the final result was still this, she suddenly rolled her eyes at Jinye Hou speechlessly, and said, "There is no back door, how is Dad."
Don't say it sooner! After saying this, Gu Ruoxi immediately turned around and looked left and right, searched and searched in the house, and ran to the corner of the house to hide.
Jin Ye Hou looked at this scene, his heart was funny, and he was helpless, but at this moment, Gu Ruoxi was the best way to dodge, Jin Ye Hou did not want the second daughter to have too much contact with the prince, after all, the Gu family already had a daughter who had to enter the palace.
"Jinhou, Bengong came over and borrowed a few books to take a look!" At this moment, Prince Xuanyuan Yan had already strode in from the door.
Jinye Hou hurriedly invited Ye: "The old minister sees His Royal Highness the Prince!" Your Highness Gold Leaf! "Golden boudoir jade hall
"Get up! No need to be polite! Xuanyuan Yan immediately stepped forward, personally helped Jinye Hou up, and slowly spoke: "Jinhou, this palace remembers that there is a copy of "Bamboo Year Chronicles" here, can you lend it to this palace to take a look?" β
When Jin Ye Hou heard this, he immediately secretly screamed that it was bad, the book had been taken away by Gu Ruoxi, where did he find another one for Xuanyuan Yan at this moment?
"Your Highness, it is very unfortunate that this book was borrowed by a friend of mine yesterday and has not yet been returned." Jin Ye Hou said with a smiling face: "Otherwise, the palace will send someone to get the book, and tomorrow at the latest, it will be sent to the East Palace in person, Your Highness, what do you think?" β
When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, the two good-looking sword eyebrows were raised, he turned his head to look at Jinye Hou, waved his hand, and said indifferently: "That's it, this palace is just a casual mention, since it was borrowed by Jinhou's friend, then this palace will look at it later." β
"Thank you for your understanding!" When Jinye Hou heard this, he immediately thanked him repeatedly.
But at this moment, Xuanyuan Yan had already turned around and walked towards the center of the row of bookshelves.
Kazuhahou's heart suddenly tensed.
Gu Ruoxi, who was hiding behind the bookshelf, listened to the conversation between the two people clearly, she couldn't help but curse Xuanyuan Yan in her heart, and quickly hid her body lower, and prayed in her heart that Xuanyuan Yan would not find here.
