Chapter 48: Fill the Coffin, Who Else!
It wasn't until the evening that the people who had gone to the temple to make their vows finally returned home.
Gong Wumian and his eldest brother A-Niang have been guarding the hall, and when they got the door to report, the three of them greeted them directly.
"The concubine greets the old lady, lord, the eldest lady returns home."
"Greeting grandmother, father, and mother home."
"Mian'er welcomes grandmother, father, and eldest lady back to the house."
Yu Rongyin heard Gong Wumian's words, and the smile on her face stiffened, this little cheap hoof really refused to call her mother anymore, but she didn't know if this seemingly ordinary behavior was her tendon or deliberately reminding everyone of what happened before.
Gong Jinzhi saw that the three of them were unharmed, and his heart that had been hanging was also put down, and his right eyelid kept beating from morning to night.
Gong Wushuang came to Gong Wumian's side with brisk steps, and took her arm very affectionately: "It's night, stand here and be careful of catching a cold." ”
Gong Wumian quietly withdrew his arm, and bowed his knees slightly towards Gong Wuya and Gong Wushuang: "Eldest sister, second brother." ”
Everyone on the side was stunned, maybe they didn't expect her to be so well-behaved and polite.
Gong Wuya plucked out his ears: "Look at your posture, you are waiting for us here, let's say, what trouble did you cause?" ”
"Yes, the second brother is really good eyesight." Gong Wumian replied angrily, something happened in the house, didn't he have any points in his heart as Yu Rongyin's son?
Gong Wuya was choked by Gong Wumian's lukewarm tone, but he felt very interesting in his heart, this second sister really surprised him more and more.
Gong Jinzhi also sensed that there was something in Gong Wumian's words: "What happened?" "He just went to the temple, what could happen?
Xiao Yu grabbed Gong Wumian, shook his head at her silently, and replied first: "Back to the master, it was the Liu family who brought her daughter Liu Ruyi to the mansion to ask the concubine to take down Liu Ruyi's marriage with the eldest son." ”
Gong Wumian directly took over Ah Niang's words: "Ah Niang said wrong, then the Liu family did not come to the mansion, but made a fuss at the gate of the mansion, and brought a coffin, using his own life as a threat, if it wasn't for the regent's timely action, I'm afraid the eldest brother would have to compromise for the face of our Xinguo Mansion, which is really too deceitful." ”
Gong Wuxian, who was standing beside her, heard this, and wondered in his heart, compromise? If he remembered correctly, at that time, his second sister was able to defeat the two shrews, one old and one young, with no sign of compromise, and when it came to this marriage, she was more concerned than himself.
The crutches in the hands of the old lady who had not spoken out couldn't help but say anything, and her face was angry: "How can this be reasonable, bring this mother and daughter to see me, I have to ask them well, what dare to threaten the eldest son of the Xinguo Mansion." ”
Gong Wushuang's heart was very fast, and he hurriedly helped the old lady, and kept calming her down: "Grandmother, you are angry, you have also accompanied us for a day, it is so late to go and rest first, your body is important, with your father and mother, you will definitely not let the eldest brother be wronged." ”
Suddenly, everyone cast approving glances at Gong Wushuang, only Gong Wumian stared at Yu Rongyin and sneered: "It's a pity, the mother and daughter were sent to the mansion by the regent." ”
Sure enough, Yu Rongyin's face changed slightly, and her unwilling expression flashed.
Gong Jinzhi frowned, and said after a while: "That is the case, send the old lady back to Xin'an Hall, and the others will also rest separately, and the government will inevitably give us an explanation after the trial." ”
"Father." Gong Wumian knelt on the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
Gong Wuya was puzzled: "Are you questioning your father's decision?" ”
"Nope." Gong Wumian shook his head and looked at his father's gaze firmly: "I just want my father to make a promise." ”
"In the future, the eldest brother's marriage will be determined by him, not by others, regardless of the order of his parents, regardless of the honor or disgrace of the family, only he is happy."
As soon as these words came out, it was simply a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.
Yu Rongyin strengthened the thought in her heart, this little cheap hoof has really changed since he came back from Qingxin Nunnery.
Gong Wushuang was disdainful in his heart, Gong Wumian was completely finished in his father's heart, and he dared to say this kind of thing, which was really rebellious.
Xiao Yu's heart is mentioned, the son and lady of the family with a head and a face, regardless of the concubine, marriage is an extremely serious matter, as long as the marriage is good, the whole family will be stained, as soon as the words of Gong Wumian come out, it is for the sake of the brother, and the heavy is to ignore the honor and disgrace of the family, which is unfilial.
Gong Wuxian only felt that all the scenery around him was darkened, and there was only one Gong Wuxian left beside him, he looked at her fixedly, his thoughts were complicated, it turned out that this sister was asking for him.
Although Gong Jinzhi's face was quite calm, there was a hint of anger in his tone: "There are more and more rules, you go and ask the whole Qingshu, which sister dares to interfere in her brother's marriage, ridiculous!" ”
But Gong Wuya had a chaotic attitude: "The eldest brother doesn't even have a good match, and these eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, and besides, is it possible that there is only one sister-in-law in the family?" Okay, okay, let's go rest, I'm sleeping. ”
As he spoke, he blurted out a yawn, and at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves approached, and the atmosphere was quite delicate.
In the blink of an eye, a carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion under the escort of five Tsing Yi men on horseback.
Gong Wuya turned to fold his arms and smiled: "On this big night, our Xinguo Mansion is really lively. ”
Gong Wumian stood up, pulled A-Niang with one hand, and eldest brother with the other, hid behind him, and took a step forward alone.
There is a familiar face among the people in Tsing Yi, who is called a person who is not deceived by Su Ming.
Gong Wumian understood, it turned out that Su Ming asked Bu to carry away the coffin, but he just found an excuse to let Bu Bao stay openly, but what was the purpose of such a painstaking effort, could it be that he was afraid that there was anything wrong with her antidote and what consequences would it have for him? Then he is really worried, she is jealous of the royal family, she has hatred for the palace, but she is only a little guilty about him, the regent, as long as he does not harm the eldest brother, she will naturally not hurt him.
Just when Gong Wuxian didn't know why, he didn't bully off the horse, and the other four people followed closely behind, turning around and pulling down from the carriage together...... A big box the length of a person?
Gong Wuxian was stunned.
This? Could it be that there is something unsightly in it?
No, how could a dignified regent do such an undignified thing, but what did he do with a box?
It's not because I'm afraid she'll run away and imprison her, right?
With such a turn of thoughts, Gong Wumian was taken aback by his own conjecture, and under the dilemma, the moonlight shone brightly, shining on the delicate box, and it was amazing......
Coffin?!
That's right, it was the coffin brought by Liu Xiang's mother and daughter during the day, and in an instant, Gong Wumian was a little messy, and he didn't understand, what kind of medicine was sold in this long-awaited gourd?
She stepped up to meet them, trying to stop them from carrying the coffin into the house, but the four men placed it neatly at her feet.
"What do you mean?"
"Second Miss."
Gong Wumian and not deceived at the same time.
Hearing the respect in the words of non-deception, Gong Wumian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't come to trouble her eldest brother, she had nothing to fear.
Let the horses come!
Don't deceive Bi said respectfully: "My subordinates don't deceive, I came to give a reward to the second lady on the order of the prince." ”
What the? Reward?
Gong Wumian glanced at the coffin, and always felt very dazzling, and his tone was naturally not much better: "The prince is in turmoil in the west, and he can still remember the people's daughters and reward the people's daughters, the people's daughters are really grateful, and the prince is very loving, but such a reward, the people's daughters are ashamed, you still bring ......"
"It's the recklessness of the subordinates, the second lady must not misunderstand the prince, the whole world is full of gifts from others to the prince, the prince has not personally picked a gift for others over the years, the object of this gift may be thoughtless, I hope the second miss understands, the subordinates are also obedient to the order, when the prince returns, the second miss can personally come to the door to ask the prince for an explanation."
As he spoke, he bowed his head to Gong Wumian, walked to the coffin again, pushed it with both hands, and the lid of the coffin was uncovered, revealing the true face of Lushan.
Out of curiosity, everyone who had not interjected probed slightly, and they were all very curious, what was the reward of the regent, which was worthy of being mysteriously contained in a coffin.
Gong Wumian stood on tiptoe and looked into the coffin, and the whole person was shocked.
Jewelry, gold, silver and jade.
She took a jade bracelet casually, and then a lamp, looked at this, and then at that, and choked speechlessly at the moonlight, whose gift filled a whole coffin, and who else!
When he was very melancholy, he heard Bu Deception asking: "Second Miss, these may be left?" ”
Gong Wumian came back to his senses, suppressed the little joy in his heart, and asked without thinking: "These are all for me?" ”
Don't deceive your heart, she arched her hand and said loudly: "These are all the rewards given by the prince to the second miss, the prince said, the second miss has a merit in detoxification, the merit is in the community, in the private and public, these are all you deserve." ”
Gong Wumian nodded again and again, where does it matter what coffin, the things in it are all hers alone, and she no longer feels heartbroken when she thinks about it.
Bu deceived the four people beside him and gave him a look: "Carry the reward to the second lady's orchid garden." ”
It seems that the prince really understands the second miss, and the second miss is really short of silver.
The four people carried the coffin and blatantly crossed the crowd, and everyone also knew that the contents of this coffin were all rewards from the regent, and naturally no one dared to stop them, which could be described as unimpeded.
Don't lead the way in front, and walk along the hand-copying verandah in the house to the Orchid Garden, and the proficiency can be seen in general.
The news of the regent's reward spread, and soon, all the courtyards knew the news, and they all stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked, and sure enough, they saw five strangers guarding a coffin with solemn faces.
It's also strange to say, this is not a bully for the road in the house is very accurate, I don't know what route to take, a circle down, actually passed through all the yards in the house, even the stable did not miss.
When they arrived at Orchid Garden, as soon as the coffin was put down, the five people bent down to Gong Wumian and saluted and left, and Gong Jinzhi, who had just walked to the door, had to take the lead to send him off.
As soon as everyone left, Xiao Yu said: "The prince is really generous, and he actually sent you such a generous gift." ”
Gong Wumian lay on the edge of the coffin, his face was happy, and his eyes were full of light: "No more, no less, I saved his life, these mundane things are not worth mentioning compared to the life of the prince." ”
Xu was infected by his daughter, and Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile: "You, talking about these vulgar things, look at you so happy." ”
"A-Niang, I will detoxify, and I can be regarded as a skill, and the reward should not be too small in the future." Saying that, Gong Wumian pulled A-Niang flatteringly: "So, this reward may be at my disposal?" ”
Xiao Yu doted on her forehead: "Didn't the guards of the palace just say it, this is a reward from the prince, and they also specially carried it to our courtyard, so who dares to move this reward, A-Niang doesn't need these, of course, you can control it yourself, but there is one, don't mess around." ”
Gong Wumian put his arm around A-Niang's neck, pouted and kissed A-Niang's face, and nodded solemnly, suddenly got a coffin of vulgar things, and was in a really good mood.
A whole coffin, put it at home as a mundane thing, it is a waste, wouldn't it be better to be her apprenticeship!
