Chapter 293: Out of the house
♂? ,,
"Master Hou, there is no need to explain more, this matter is owed by this king." Xuanyuan Jingxi said lightly, and as he spoke, he stood up and said, "This king still has some things, so he left first." ”
Jinye Hou hurriedly stood up and said, "Go down to the official and send it off." ”
"No, Hou Ye has a vacation that is so easy to have, stay at home!" Xuanyuan Jingxi said, turned around and strode out, although it was the first time he came to the Jinye Mansion, and it was the first time to come to this study in the front yard, but he did not take the wrong path at all, and the familiar appearance was as if he had been to the Jinye Mansion many times.
Jin Yehou immediately stopped talking, and only motioned with his eyes to his cronie Zhu Yan to follow and send Xuanyuan Jingxi away. And Gu Xiaoye didn't speak from beginning to end, Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced at Gu Ruoxi a few times, but he didn't even bother to sweep the tail of his eyes.
This also made Gu Xiaoye sensitive to some differences in Xuanyuan Jingxi's treatment of Gu Ruoxi. Although he doesn't know where this feeling comes from.
Gu Ruoxi returned to Luomei House, dismissed a few maids in the house, slowly rolled up the sleeves of his hands, and looked at the wounds on his arms against the light shining on the screen window.
She did not regret refusing Xuanyuan Jingxi's gift of medicine.
These injuries are on her arm, to heal it, Gu Ruoxi needs herself and not others, in modern times, she has lived independently for so many years after leaving school, it is impossible for her to rely on others at all, and she can't learn to rely on it.
Looking at the injuries that still existed, Gu Ruoxi thought carefully.
Xuanyuan Jingxi couldn't cure her injuries even if he took out such expensive medicines, and it seemed that the medicine would not help these pimples at all. She had to think of something else.
Thinking about it, Gu Ruoxi thought of acupuncture.
The injury on her arm was stimulated by the alternating heat and cold of the lake, and acupuncture can dredge the meridians, reconcile yin and yang, and strengthen the right and dispel evil. Maybe it could help her injuries.
But the question is, where does she find a set of tools for acupuncture? That needs to be specially crafted. Obviously, there is no such thing in Luomei Curie at all. In order to achieve the purpose of acupuncture treatment, Gu Ruoxi had to find someone to inject a set of needles for her.
But at present, when the emperor decreed that she should be Princess Min, Gu Ruoxi was already the protagonist of other people's mouths, if she went out to show her face, she would be discovered...... :
It's not feasible! Gu Ruoxi didn't want to face the scene of being pointed at for the time being, just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable.
Gu Ruoxi's brows suddenly furrowed tightly.
On the side, Jin Se looked at her frowning and looking sad, and wanted to ask, but after all, he swallowed the words and only accompanied her silently.
What is the young lady worried about? It must be Princess Min's business, do you still need to ask?
I have to say that Jin Se and Gu Ruoxi are not in the same thinking at all. He's especially sarcastic.
"No matter! You must go out of the house today! Gu Ruoxi suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
Jin Se was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" "Nothing." Facing Jin Se's surprise, Gu Ruoxi just smiled slightly and ordered, "Go and find me a set of clothes for a little girl." Remember to ask for a trumpet. ”
Jin Se stood there, and it took a long time to understand what Gu Ruoxi just said, and her mouth suddenly opened wide: "Miss." What do you want the little girl's clothes for? We are full of women in the house, so we don't need it at all? ”
"Don't worry about it, just go find it." Gu Ruoxi said lightly. She didn't like to explain too much to Jinse, because she just said it, and Jinse wouldn't understand much.
Jin Se glanced at her twice, and finally went out to get her clothes ready.
Here, Gu Ruoxi slowly removed the hairpin ring on his head, pulled up his head full of green silk, removed his makeup and washed his face, and Jin Se came in with his clothes.
"Miss, what the hell are you going to do?" Jin Se handed the clothes to Gu Ruoxi, and asked again, she watched very strangely as she shook off the indigo underwear, and kept gesturing on herself. There was also an interesting expression in his eyes.
"It's nothing, I'm just going out in this garment." Gu Ruoxi said lightly, as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing, and after speaking, she turned around and went to the tent.
When Jin Se heard this, she could stuff duck eggs in her shocked mouth: "Miss, this is ......" In addition to this sentence, she didn't know how to speak.
"Be quiet, and don't alarm the people outside." Gu Ruoxi frowned. The speed of changing clothes under his hands is not slow. After a while, she opened the tent and walked out of the tent.
I saw that the beauty was like jade, the skin was like snow, even if she was dressed in coarse cloth and blue, she couldn't hide the dusty temperament of that body, Jin Se served her every day, and after so many years, she was still amazed.
Whether it is the world or other people in the Jinye Houfu, they all think that Gu Yuetong is the most beautiful person, but in the eyes of Jinse, the second lady of her family is the most beautiful woman.
More beautiful than the eldest lady.
"What are you stunned about? Why don't you hurry up and help me put my hair up? Gu Ruoxi saw Jin Se looking at him in a daze, and immediately frowned and said.
These words reminded Jin Se, and she immediately nodded and went up to help Gu Ruoxi.
Soon, the waist-length head was full of green silk. was twisted by Jin Se very ripely, Gu Ruoxi took out a melon skin hat and buttoned it on his head, and suddenly there was a little shadow of a little girl, if you don't look at your face.
She leaned in front of the bronze mirror, and a beautiful tomboy suddenly appeared in the mirror.
Gu Ruoxi's brows suddenly furrowed tightly, this is too easy to be seen as a woman, she has to dress up a little more!
Next
Carving, Jin Se saw Gu Ruoxi pick up the eyebrow pencil and thicken the two thin willow eyebrows!
"Smack!" A bang. The mahogany comb in Jinse's hand fell to the ground.
Gu Ruoxi didn't pay attention, she was still very familiar with modifying her appearance, she had an experience before, this time it was not very difficult, soon, she changed her skin color, got a beard, and even those round eyes were pasted at the corners of her eyes and became narrow. Looking at it this way, she is clearly just a little delicate, where is there still a little shadow of everyone's beauty before?
"Little, miss?" Jin Se picked up the peach comb from the ground and looked at this scene in surprise, it was only a moment old, and her young lady brought her so much shock!
Gu Ruoxi stood up from the dresser. After carefully taking a closer look at himself in the mirror, he straightened his clothes, and then said to Jin Se: "Go and prepare fifty taels of silver for me." ”
Jin Se nodded subconsciously, and hurriedly went to rummage in the cage, Gu Ruoxi, as the young lady of the Gu family, has not a lot of monthly silver on weekdays, and it is all collected by Jin Se, and this is the first time to take it out and use it.
After a while, a bulging purse was taken by Jin Se, Gu Ruoxi took it and opened it, and saw that it was one big, two small and three silver ingots, she nodded, put it away, and explained to Jin Se: "Stay at home, I'll go out for a walk, and I'll be back soon." So saying, he turned and left.
"Miss! If you want to go out, take your slaves and maidservants with you. Jin Se hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Besides, if you want to go to the street, you just need to report to your wife, and we will go out in a carriage, so why bother?" ”
When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Jinse, the place I'm going to definitely not be those silk and jewelry shops, don't ask, stay at home and wait for me to come back." He shouted joy.
"Nope! Miss! The slave is willing to go with her! ”
Hearing this, Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly and said, "Jin Se, who did you see when your little maid went out, and there was still a maid by her side?" ”
Jin Se was silent for a moment, but the expression on his face was full of unhappiness.
Gu Ruoxi stretched out her hand and patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, guard the yard for me, don't be in trouble, I'll be back soon." ”
Jin Se nodded subconsciously, for Gu Ruoxi's words,
She had always believed in it.
But she didn't know that this time Gu Ruoxi would break her promise, and it was the only time.
……
The back door of the Marquis of Jinye Mansion was not very meticulous, and after an hour, Gu Ruoxi easily walked out of the back door of the Hou Mansion and walked towards the most prosperous Vermilion Bird Street in the capital.
When she put on light gauze and thin clothes and put on magnificent makeup in the Hou Mansion, she was the second lady of the ancient family, and she usually had to follow the rules in her words and deeds, and she did it perfectly, but now she is just a small girl, wearing the cheapest subordinate clothes, and she has the most
Ordinary face, then you can really do whatever you want, Gu Ruoxi rarely took out the casualness and style when he went shopping on the street in his previous life.
It didn't arouse suspicion.
Before coming out, Gu Ruoxi had already explored the route, she knew that there was a blacksmith shop on the east side of Suzaku Street, which was the closest one to the Jinye Houfu, and the first thing she did when she left the Hou Mansion at this moment was to hire a carriage and take her to the blacksmith shop, not because she was lazy, but because she didn't know the way.
The driver was a lean old man over fifty years old, when Gu Ruoxi got in the car, he specially gave him an extra twenty yuan, and the old man showed his mouth that was missing two front teeth, laughing happily, and tried his best to catch the car along the way.
Gu Ruoxi sat in the carriage and didn't look around. It's only one street in total, and it's going to be there soon.
She thinks simply, but there is a saying in the world: plans can't keep up with change.
Not long after the carriage was on the road, Gu Ruoxi closed his eyes to recuperate, but at this moment, he only heard a 'click', and the carriage suddenly stopped!
"Uncle, what's going on?" Taken aback, he hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked out of the car.
"Little brother, there is a traffic jam in front, and I can't get through." The old man's voice came from outside: "See what to do?" ”
In fact, there was no need for him to say, Gu Ruoxi had already seen the chaotic crowd in front of her, she turned her head to the old man and asked, "Uncle." How far is it to the end of the street? ”
"It's not far away, and it's time for half a cup of tea!" The old man sighed and said, "I don't know what happened in front of me, it seems that I want to go over, it's difficult!" ”
Gu Ruoxi heard this, thought about it, and immediately said, "Since that's the case, then I'll get off from here!" You don't have to bother the old man. ”
"Little brother! How can this work! I have collected so much money, but I have to walk over by myself......" When the old man heard this, he immediately shook his head: "It's better to do this, how about I return the five cents?" ”
When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, just keep this money!" It's not easy for the old man to come out and work hard, so this money should be regarded as a tea! As she spoke, she smiled slightly. He jumped out of the carriage, patted his clothes, and walked away from the crowd in front of him.
"What a kind-hearted young man!" The old man muttered, put away the copper coin in his hand, and then drove away in the carriage.
Here Gu Ruoxi had already walked to the periphery of the crowd, she was wearing the clothes of a small girl, and no one noticed her. Everyone's attention was drawn to a horse-drawn carriage parked in the middle of the field.
Out of curiosity, Gu Ruoxi also glanced at the carriage, and saw that there were four or five well-dressed maids standing next to the gorgeous carriage with countless ribbons hanging from it. There were a lot of people around, but not many dared to approach the carriage.
But oddly enough, that horse
There was also a large open space in front of the car, Gu Ruoxi's eyes slowly turned from those maids, and the next moment, she suddenly took her eyes back, and her heart was pounding!
Damn! How could Xuanyuan Jingxi be here?
It's really a narrow road! Gu Ruoxi's joy at successfully escaping from the Hou Mansion disappeared without a trace immediately, although she had already changed her appearance, but this time she was afraid that Xuanyuan Jingxi would recognize her, so she still specially lowered her body and shrank behind the crowd.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Jingxi's eyes did not look this way.
Gu Ruoxi didn't dare to look ahead anymore, but she was not idle, and the whispered conversation between the two middle-aged aunts next to her still made her quickly understand the cause and effect.
"I heard that His Royal Highness King Jing has been engaged to the young lady in Prime Minister Zhang's mansion, but this Miss Wang from Prime Minister's Mansion is here to intercept him halfway, what is going on?"
"Still don't understand? The left prime minister and the right prime minister have never dealt with each other. It was rumored that the young ladies of these two families had fallen in love with His Royal Highness King Jing, and now the emperor has decreed that Miss Zhang on the right prime minister's house will be the princess of Jing, and of course the left prime minister is not happy! Miss Wang is here to stop His Royal Highness King Jing, I'm afraid she wants to ask for an explanation. ”
When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he understood that the person sitting in the gorgeous and fancy carriage was Wang Yanfei. I just don't know, is she waiting for Xuanyuan Jingxi here, or did she meet by chance?
Gu Ruoxi guessed that it was the former.
But she still lowered her body, for fear that she would show the slightest horse foot and be discovered by Xuanyuan Jingxi. Meantime. She still had a trace of wonder in her heart, since Wang Yanfei stopped Xuanyuan Jingxi here, then she must have something to say to him, but Mao and these two people just stayed here dryly and didn't say a word!
Indeed, Xuanyuan Jingxi crossed his arms with both hands, put on a posture that he usually liked to pose, and did not look at the carriage in front of him, and he didn't say a word for a long time, and the Miss Wang in the carriage, I don't know if it was because of shyness or for some other reason, she never spoke.
How long is this going to be deadlocked?
Gu Ruoxi's brain twitched, and he suddenly remembered that when he first watched the Journey to the West, Zixia Fairy and Supreme Treasure were standing on both sides of the city wall. Then there was a crowd of onlookers...... Today's situation is similar, the same large group of onlookers, the same man and a woman, but the difference is that these two people have not stood for three days and three nights.
Forget it, she came to the blacksmith shop to fight things, instead of staying here to watch the excitement, Gu Ruoxi shook her head, and immediately moved out cautiously, trying not to alarm Xuanyuan Jingxi, who was standing in the center of the crowd. It may be small, but she can't be careless, right?
But at this moment, Miss Wang in the carriage suddenly spoke, and her voice was as delicate as a yellow warbler: "Brother Jing, my father invited him to the house for tea, why don't you go?" ”
Gu Ruoxi stumbled
Staggered, almost fell to the ground!
This sentence of 'Brother Jing' immediately made her think of Guo Jing, but how can this Xuanyuan Jingxi be compared with Guo Jing? Such a treacherous and narrow-minded person, Gu Ruoxi was extremely disgusted in his heart. She stabilized her figure, couldn't help but glance at the carriage with the curtain closed, and sighed secretly in her heart: Miss Wang, Miss Wang, if you really think that this is Brother Jing standing in front of you, it would be a big mistake! He is a craftsman.
Xuanyuan Jingxi listened to Miss Wang's words, and only said two words lazily: "No time." The expression on his face was impatient.
Everyone didn't speak, Gu Ruoxi could already guess what the expression of Miss Wang sitting in the carriage would be, she was faintly worried about this Miss Wang, but the steps of retreating never stopped.
After a long time, the young lady Wang asked reluctantly, "Then, when will Brother Jing be free?" ”
Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly turned up, he glanced at the carriage, and said casually: "Is my father looking for me or looking for me?" ”
The man in the carriage was silent again.
Xuanyuan Jingxi's question was too bold, and the onlookers couldn't help but start whispering again.
"Oh my God! This Miss Wang is so bold and infatuated......"
"Isn't it! I heard that this Miss Wang and His Royal Highness King Jing were childhood sweethearts, a pair of two little guesses, and now the emperor has decided on the girl of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no wonder Miss Wang will make such an amazing move. ”
Hearing this, someone in the crowd asked in a whisper: "Since the two young ladies of this Zhang Wang both like His Royal Highness King Jing, will they both marry?" ”
As soon as these words came out, a few sneering laughter suddenly came from the crowd.
