Chapter 55: Rumors Spread
The Sun family, a well-known businessman in the capital, is also a businessman, so the people in the court are quite contemptuous of it and strictly guard it, but life is still prosperous.
It is precisely because the Sun family is doing well, and the ancestors have read some books, that they can barely be regarded as a scholarly family, and suddenly let the self-made Lu family chess meet opponents.
Tongfu business and Sun family business have always been like fire and water, Lu Dayou and Sun Shuqi, the owner of the Sun family, were rivals in love when they were young, and they fought for the current Lu family's wife Qin, who came and went, many years have passed, and the grievances are still entangled.
Miss Sun Jianglian is also a wonderful person, she is famous in the capital, she has a cold and cold temperament, a rare ice beauty, and in the eyes of her son-in-law, who is used to seeing Miss Jiaozong, she is really exquisite, a flower of kaolin.
She was silent and sorrowful all day long, which could not stop the flowers and gifts piled up at the door every day.
Because the master of the Sun family only has such a baby daughter, and the housekeeper and mother-in-law around her are even more strict with her, who dares to look at Sun Jianglian more, which scares people into retreating, therefore, those sons are just Lang You, and the concubines have no intention.
On that day, this Sun Jianglian was fiddling with the embroidery thread in the warm pavilion, picking and choosing, to see which color was more beautiful, and a shout came from afar at the door.
"Miss, Miss, Miss"
The nurse who served on the side immediately raised her eyebrows and reprimanded: "What are you shouting?!" Didn't you see that the young lady was picking the embroidery thread? In a hurry, what does it look like, rushing to reincarnation! ”
Sun Jianglian had long been accustomed to the nurse's irritable temper, and she said lightly: "Okay, what's the matter?" ”
The little maid was so frightened that she trembled, handed over the letterhead in her hand, and said, "Miss, a little beggar came out just now, saying that this letter is for you?" ”
"Beggars?" Just thinking about it, the nurse furrowed her eyebrows in disgust, "The beggar doesn't hurry up and goes out, and he dares to accept his letter!" ”
Thinking about it, I also know that this letter can't be written by a beggar, eighty percent is an errand runner.
Sun Jianglian asked, "Do you know who the master of his family is?" ”
As the little girl spoke, she had already seen the signature on the letterhead.
"I know, she said, it was Miss Lu Yaorang who sent the ......"
Sun Jianglian looked at it at a glance, her expression changed slightly, and she asked, "Can the beggar go away?" ”
She handed the letterhead to the nurse on the side and asked her to read it clearly.
After the nurse saw it, her face changed greatly, and she said angrily: "Arrest him for me!" ”
A few days later, Lu Yao can be regarded as a resting ** not far from ten, and the psychological shadows left on her before are also healed.
Gu Congyuan's house is still relying on the Lu family, and his reputation says: "The Lu family is closer to the downtown area, which is convenient for King Cong to understand the people's feelings." ”
Who in the government and the opposition doesn't know King Cong's character? The excerpt given to him, he honestly looked at the things that were not given to him, he was hanging high and unconcerned about himself, and he didn't use his eyes to glance at people who died next to him.
Therefore, he can only stay by his side in a daze.
What Lu Yao didn't expect was that Gu Congyuan was moody and upset a lot before, but this time he found out in his conscience that he really followed behind him as soon as he went on the street, like a dog skin plaster, and he couldn't shake it off.
"Second Highness...... In broad daylight, you and I come out together, I'm afraid the impact is not very good, right? Lu Yao always felt that the people around him were talking about them, from time to time
Glanced at.
Gu Congyuan said calmly: "Not very good? If the lady likes to come out in the middle of the night, the king can also accompany her. ”
"You ......" Lu Yao was noticed by several aunts with vegetable baskets in her hands, and she finally said uncomfortably, "Speaking of which, do you feel that someone has been watching us all the time?" ”
Gu Congyuan's eyes were like torches, he had discovered these subtle abnormalities a long time ago, but he couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply didn't think about it.
He bowed his head slightly, and his face was cold: "I found out, so what?" ”
"What's that?" Lu Yao slapped him unceremoniously, and was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly heard the vegetable seller on the side whispering.
"Why do you say this eldest lady of the Lu family is so brazen? It is clear that he has already reconciled, and he still holds on to King Cong, so forget it, why do you want to write a letter to insult the young lady of the Sun family, it is really vicious! ”
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, only to feel that his head was splashed with dirty water, and he felt disgusted, so he stepped forward and asked: "Uncle, you just said that I insulted Miss Sun, but there is evidence, I have never done this!" ”
The old man didn't pay attention to her at all, don't look over, he looked like he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
A royal blue tassel flickered in front of him, and the old man found that someone had walked in front of him, and when he looked up, it was King Cong, whose face was as gloomy as water, and he was so frightened that he suddenly became excited.
"If you don't say anything, you won't have to do this business."
Sure enough, for the people, the existence of King Cong is almost a representative of authority.
The old man immediately said stupidly: "This matter? Shouldn't you know best? It's been a few days......"
Lu Yao has always been with Sunjiajing water, who knows that suddenly there are branches, her mind is confused, and she is anxious and angry: "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Whew!" The old man glanced at Lu Yao and said, "A few days ago, the eldest lady of the Lu family wrote a letter to the Sun family, with euphemistic words, but every word was full of thorns, saying that the old man of the Sun family was infertile, and the second said that the young lady of the Sun family was lonely and old, so she was poisonous ......."
Lu Yao was silent for a moment and said, "Fools on the street wouldn't do such a thing, right?" Obviously someone has written a fake letter, how can you be gullible? ”
The old man was groundless, but his words were conclusive: "Look at Miss Lu's usual style, what will she do if she can't ......keep it?"
The long sword came out of its sheath and went straight to the man's throat, and Gu Congyuan said angrily: "You dare to talk nonsense again!" ”
"That's it!" Lu Yao hurriedly stopped him, grabbed the man's arm, and said, "Forget it, they're just hearsay...... Let's go home. ”
The old man was shocked, Gu Congyuan glanced at him fiercely, and in desperation, he could only go back to the house with Lu Yao first.
Master Lu was busy with the affairs of Tongfu all day long, and almost all the affairs of the family were handed over to the Qin family and the housekeeper.
Those rumors were also the first to reach the ears of the Qin family.
As soon as she saw Lu Yao coming back, she immediately mysteriously pulled the person to her room and asked in a low voice: "Yao'er, tell your mother honestly, did you write that letter?" ”
"Mother" Lu Yao dragged her voice helplessly, shook off her hand, "But anyone with a little brain, it is impossible to do such a thing!" ”
"You and the Sun family's Sun Jianglian have had some festivals in the past, but his daughter's eccentric temperament, who is not a little contradictory? Why do everyone want to chew your tongue, it's really unreasonable, and you're angry to death! Qin said indignantly.
Her so-called festival is just an old thing from 800 years ago, so old that Lu Yao almost forgot about it.
"You don't have to think about it, you know that someone deliberately framed it, but ...... Why are you hurting me? She narrowed her eyes slowly.
Lu Yao has been really unlucky in the past few days, one after another people want her life, and before they take her life, they came and ruined her reputation.
She couldn't help but wonder, who was so attached to her?
The Qin family dragged Lu Yao away, presumably the mother and daughter had something to say, and Gu Congyuan was inconvenient to follow, so he could only drink tea in the living room and wait.
His eyebrows raised slightly, and his chest was filled with anger, there have been people framing Lu Yao one after another recently, and it is necessary to go back to the Shadow Pavilion again......
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice that frightened him hit again: "Lord Wang~"
Gu Congyuan got up to leave without saying a word, but who knew that the person was one step faster than him, and grabbed his arm, looking soft and weak, a woman had such strength, Gu Congyuan was shocked in his heart.
Lu Xuerou looked his dress up and down today, her heart was overjoyed, and she praised: "The prince is particularly brilliant today, the style of this dress is really novel, and it is lined with the prince's jade tree in the wind, presumably there is no second person in the capital to wear it!" ”
"Miss Lu won the prize." His voice was cold, and he quietly withdrew his arm.
Seeing that Gu Congyuan's attitude towards herself and Lu Yao was completely different, Lu Xuerou's heart was not only unbalanced, but in front of her sweetheart, she naturally couldn't take out that tricky and mean appearance.
She smiled, continued to hold him affectionately, and said sweetly: "Why don't you look at Rou'er's makeup today?" This is something bought in the Yuyan Pavilion in the north of the city, and it's hard to find a thousand dollars, don't you praise me? ”
Gu Cong got goosebumps all over his body, his attitude became more and more cold, he broke free from the man's restraint again, and distanced himself from the person in two steps.
"If Miss Lu has nothing important, this king will leave first."
"Something! Of course there is! Lu Xuerou naturally wouldn't easily let go of this opportunity to get along with His Second Highness.
The twenty-eight girls in the city, everyone is devoted to this wise and martial second highness, how many women dream of seeing Gu Congyuan, he has frequently appeared on the street these days, and many women deliberately went there to wait.
Those women must not have imagined that His Royal Highness was standing in front of her now.
Lu Xuerou's heart became more and more proud, and she smiled: "Have you heard those rumors about my sister?" ”
Gu Congyuan paused, raised his eyebrows subtly, and said, "Rumors? ”
"That's right, that is, the insulting letter that my sister wrote to the Sun family, I said that she had been stuffing herself in the room for the past few days, and it turned out that she was writing these things, which was really shameful......" Lu Xuerou pretended to be crazy and stupid, and said, "I really know people and faces, and I don't know my heart, even if I have festivals before, I can't curse like this." ”
At this moment, Lu Xuerou saw Lu Yao walking in the corridor, her face changed, and she hurriedly said, "Lord Wang will stay for a few more days, and we will talk later." ”
Gu Congyuan was confused, and she didn't know why she was indignant about this matter.
Lu Yao had already walked over and said, "I haven't seen Lu Xuerou's girl for a day today, it's really strange." ”
Gu Congyuan was about to speak, when he heard a voice from afar at the door: "Call your eldest lady to come out for me!" ”
