Chapter 20: Gifts
The next day, Gu Ange originally thought that after the trouble made last night, Gu Rong probably didn't have much time to bother her for the time being. But he didn't want to see an expressionless Ah Yi appear in front of him just after noon.
Gu Ange looked at Ah Yi standing in front of him, and smirked impatiently, "Say, who is looking for me?" β
Although Ah Yi lowered his head slightly and didn't see the smirk on Gu Ange's face, he knew that this person was not in such a good mood when he heard her voice, so he hurriedly shook the pot, "Miss Yu, Master Hou invited you to the front hall, and Lord Hou sent you a gift." β
"Gifts? This is not a New Year's Day, what kind of gift does he give. Gu Ange was puzzled. What's more, if you want to give a gift, why don't you come to her directly, you have to go to Gu Rong's side to have such a trouble.
"My subordinates don't know."
Gu Ange sighed softly and stood up a little helplessly, "Let's go." β
When Gu Ange took Luan Ge and followed Ah Yi to the front hall, he saw Gu Rong sitting inside and talking to Lihuo, who was sitting at the bottom, with a smile on his face from time to time, and his beard trembled.
Seeing Gu Ange entering the door, he waved at her again and again, beckoning her to come over.
Gu Ange walked in front of Gu Rong and leaned over slightly, "Father." β
"Ge'er is here, that is the personal guard of the king side by side, leave the fire, go and say hello." Gu Rong looked at Gu Ange dressed in plain clothes, but he was still decent and generous, and he couldn't stop nodding. There was even a flash of remorse in his eyes. There was even a feeling in his heart that if he had known that Gu Yiyi was so uncompetitive, he should have sent Gu Yiyi to the palace side by side. Although Gu Ange looks soft and weak, he knows how to be more proportional than Gu Yiyi, and knows how to advance and retreat. It's a pity that such a good seedling is now.
"Yes." After finishing speaking, Gu Ange turned around and squatted slightly towards Lihuo, "Childe." β
Lihuo hurriedly stood up, a drop of cold sweat slipped from his forehead, "Don't don't, I can't stand Miss Gu's courtesy." "Just kidding, their son's courtesy, how dare he accept it, he doesn't want to go back and be tortured by the prince.
Gu Rong saw that he avoided Gu Ange's salute, and he didn't know the inside story, but it was just because Gu Ange was the fiancΓ©e of the king side by side.
"It's polite to leave the fire guard, and when the time comes, Ge'er will trouble you to take care of it after she enters the mansion." Although Lihuo is just a small guard, he is Mo Wuxian's personal guard, what does the personal guard mean, that means that he is Mo Wuxian's henchman. Gu Rong still felt that it was better to be polite, after all, their Zhongyong Marquis Mansion had not torn their faces with the side of the Prince's Mansion. After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Ange, "Ge'er should sit down too." β
Gu Ange nodded, walked to the opposite side of the fire and sat down, Luan Ge obediently walked behind Gu Ange and stood up.
"Don't dare, Master Hou is serious." Lihuo was still smiling, but he didn't have the original jump in front of Gu Ange. With such a polite and detached smile, Lihuo looks like it can really frighten a lot of people. Compared with the silent and serious Kuntu and the fierce and imposing gold exchange, it is obvious that Lihuo, who has a smile and good long sleeves and is good at dancing, is more suitable for doing this kind of thing of going out and playing with people.
Gu Ange looked at the rare and calm Lihuo, and his heart was amazed.
"I wonder what happened to the father calling his daughter?" Gu Ange turned around and hurriedly asked while the two of them were talking. Looking at the back and forth politeness of these two people, she felt that if she didn't open her mouth again, she estimated that these two would not get to the point by noon.
Hearing this, Gu Rong hurriedly patted his forehead lightly, and then said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of the Side by Side has sent you something, you can take a look." β
As he spoke, a small servant holding a box stood behind the fire and walked in front of Gu Ange.
Gu Ange was not in a hurry, he glanced back at Luan Ge, Luan Ge walked forward and took the box in the little guy's hand, and then gently opened it for Gu Ange to see.
The box opened to reveal a set of emerald green jade heads, which looked good, although it was not the best, but it was also excellent.
Gu Ange fell in love with the bracelet at first sight. The bracelet looked no different from an ordinary jade bracelet, but Gu Ange picked it up and looked closely, but he could find that it was carved with a delicate landscape map, which was interlocking, delicate and atmospheric.
Although Gu Ange liked the bracelet, she quickly put it back, and she couldn't see any expression on her face, in the eyes of the people present, she just looked at it casually.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Gu Ange nodded at Lihuo, with a light smile on his face.
After leaving the fire for a while, he couldn't tell whether Gu Ange liked it or not, and couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, "Does Miss Gu Er like it?" β
"It's bothered, Gu Ange likes it very much."
"If you like it, if you like it, if you like it." Lihuo quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Gu Ange's answer. After all, this thing was his idea for the prince, if the son didn't like it, then he wouldn't be dead.
Gu Ange looked at Gu Rong, who had been smiling all the time, "Father... Although this gift was given to her, she had to ask Gu Rong how to behave, after all, she had always been an "obedient" daughter in front of them.
"Keep it Ge'er, His Royal Highness is your fiancΓ©, you can just keep what he gave it." Gu Rong saw Gu Ange looking at himself, and felt that this daughter had a degree of advance and retreat, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth was even greater.
"Yes, father." Gu Ange waved his hand and motioned for Luan Ge to accept it. She thought for a moment, and then said to Lihuo: "Please go back and tell the king of the side, thank him for the gift, and the little girl will definitely thank him in person in the future." β
"Yes, it will be conveyed from the fire." Lihuo hugged his fists.
The acting skills of these two people are first-class, and this kind of performance is really like two strangers, and they don't let the above one see any flaws at all.
After explaining, Gu Ange sat quietly while drinking tea, while listening to Gu Rong and Lihuo talking.
"Our prince said that he would go to the Hou Mansion on August 20 to hire and change his name, and asked the Hou Ye to prepare for Miss Gu Er in advance." Lihuo said with a smile.
"In five days, will it be too tight?" After hearing this, Gu Rong was a little embarrassed.
"The wedding date is set for the ninth day of September, which is a bit rushed, and the prince said that he can prepare for the wedding with peace of mind by asking for the name and changing the name and posting the dowry as soon as possible." Lihuo obviously came prepared, and answered unhurriedly.
Gu Rong nodded, agreeing with Lihuo's statement, but soon he began to look at Lihuo again and stopped.
"If Gu Hou has any concerns, you might as well say it directly, if you can't solve your doubts from the fire, you can ask the prince for instructions as soon as possible."
"Ben Hou wants to send a few dowries to enter the mansion with Ge'er, I don't know what the prince wants?" Although Gu Rong was asking, his tone was indeed very firm, as if he was sure that Mo Wuxian would agree to this matter.
"This..." Lihuo heard that the cold sweat came down at that time, and he glanced at Gu Ange, who was sitting opposite him, while Gu Rong was not paying attention, and then saw the inconspicuous silver needle glowing green that suddenly appeared in her hand and the moonlit smile on her face, and couldn't help but tremble. It's over, it's over, Childe is angry!!
Gu Ange casually played with the extremely thin and tiny silver needle in his hand, and his eyes looked at Lihuo and Gu Rong's body from time to time. In my heart, I was thinking about who should be stabbed to death. She is recruiting someone to provoke whom, and before she has married these two people, she is thinking about giving her husband a woman. It's really good-tempered!
Gu Rong didn't know the pain in Lihuo's heart, and said to himself, "They are all children of the Hou Mansion, and their net worth is absolutely innocent." If the prince likes them, he will accept them and make a room, and if he can't look at them, he will throw them in the house to be a rough girl, which can be regarded as a little bit of Benhou's heart. β
"No, okay... Lihuo peeked at Gu Ange again, and then decisively refused, if he really agreed, Gongzi would poison him!!
"What's wrong, a man should have three wives and four concubines, my Houfu lady is virtuous and virtuous, naturally she won't be that kind of jealous jealous woman, the fire guards can go back and tell Your Highness, Ge'er will definitely not say anything, Ben Hou's daughter Ben Hou knows." Gu Rong obviously saw Lihuo's reaction, and couldn't help touching his beard, and nodded thinking that what he said was right, and then asked Gu Ange, who was sitting, "Ge'er, is what you said for your father right?" β
Gu Ange kept telling herself in her heart that if she couldn't bear it, she would make a big plan, and after enduring it for a long time, she finally didn't bear it, she slowly stood up, with a smile on her face, but her tone was cold, "Since my father said so, if Gu Ange said anything more, wouldn't it confirm the reputation of a jealous woman?" Since the father has arranged everything, he still comes to ask his daughter what to do? Since the father wants to send a dowry, why should he ask his daughter to come back, just find a girl to replace him. β
Seeing this, Lihuo actually had a strange feeling that it was really so. This is the son of Sanskrit! When will someone be able to make Fanyin Gongzi angry? Obviously, it has always been the son of Fanyin who is angry with others.
As a person who is held and offered everywhere she goes, Gu Ange's temper obviously cannot be as good as she shows. She has been suppressing her temper all this time, just because she doesn't want these people to know her true face too early, and it won't be fun to have jealousy when the time comes. But this doesn't mean that Gu Ange can let them toss at will again and again.
Gu Rong was obviously frightened by the sudden outbreak of Gu Ange. Although he thought that Gu Ange had a degree of advance and retreat, he actually regarded her as an ordinary woman who married her father and her husband at home, and he really didn't expect her to dare to refute. After he reacted, he felt that Gu Ange had made such a fuss that he had lost face in front of the people in the palace side by side, so he immediately sank his face, stood up and stared at Gu Ange, and called her a little sternly, "Ange!" β
Gu Ange looked at him coldly, fading away from his previous cowardice and weakness, and sneered, "This girl, don't get married!" After speaking, he walked away directly with Luan Ge, who was holding the box.
Gu Rong looked at Gu Ange's back and couldn't come back to his senses for a while, just now at that moment he seemed to see the original Qinghe. Should it be said that Gu Ange deserves to be her daughter? No matter how weak and cowardly she is, she will always be proud in her bones, as long as she touches her bottom line, will all her cowardice fade?
Seeing that Gu Rong was looking at Gu Ange's back, Lihuo coughed lightly and reminded him.
Gu Rong hurriedly came back to his senses when he heard this cough, and looked at Lihuo with a somewhat embarrassed face and laughed a few times, "Forgive me, this girl has been spoiled by me since she was a child, hehehehe." β
Although Lihuo looked understanding on his face, he really didn't care about the cold snort in his heart. When Childe was five years old, he was sent to the old mansion by the person in front of him who kept saying that he loved him, and he didn't know where he came from to say this. If he hadn't been Childe's father, he would have killed him.
"That Gu Hou's proposal... Lihuo looked at Gu Rong and asked.
"Let's talk about it." Gu Rong was still affected by Gu Ange's sudden outburst.
Lihuo knew that Gu Rong said that he didn't have this plan to discuss again, "Yes, Lihuo knows." Then Gu Hou still has something to do? If it's okay, I'll go back and report to the prince first. β
"It's nothing, let's go back first from the fire guards, there's work." Lihuo had just seen the mess about him being confronted by his own daughter, and Gu Rong was now eager for him to leave quickly.
Lihuo also knew that Gu Rong didn't want to see him now, and he didn't stay long, so he said goodbye and went back with the little guy who came with him. He must now hurry back to tell his prince that not only did he not make the unhappy son happy, but also indirectly made her even more angry. Alas, poor lord. Lihuo silently mourned in his heart for his own prince, who had suffered an unjustified disaster.
Gu Rong felt a little headache for a while after seeing that he was away from the fire, and then summoned a girl, "Go and ask the second lady to come over." "All of them are not worrying.
The little girl answered, and then turned around and went out to find Gu Ange.
