Chapter 62: A Scheming Woman
Before and after Qingming, it rained for more than half a month.
The whole imperial city was filled with a layer of soggy sorrow, as if it had been drenched in mildew by such a long rainy season.
And the best news in the past half a month is that Lu Zhong's impeachment has been deposed by the emperor.
At the same time, Gan Yuntian also made a military order in front of the Son of Heaven to completely remove the hidden danger in the north for the imperial court.
On the day of the expedition, the sky was clear and clear, and the long-lost sunshine dispelled the haze and brought a touch of warm freshness.
Mrs. Gan led the whole house and sent her son and grandson on the expedition. But he didn't look like an ordinary lady, but he was heroic, and he smiled energetically and advised: "It's a good spring day, and my good son of the Gan family has made contributions to the court, and he will succeed immediately." ”
"Yes." Gan Yuntian bowed to her: "My son will definitely make new contributions to the court." ”
Seeing him step on the war horse and gallop away, Mrs. Gan was still smiling energetically.
"Mother, the rain has stopped, the wind and humidity here are heavy, and it is inconvenient to stand for a long time, so my daughter-in-law will help you go back to the room to rest." Mo Yanqing posted it attentively, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Hmm." Mrs. Gan nodded slightly, and glanced at Liu Rumei again: "The sixth aunt and wife are also here." ”
Liu Rumei was a little overjoyed, and was slightly stunned before she hurriedly stepped forward: "Yes, mother." ”
Mrs. Gan took two steps, paused again, and said, "It's also a rare sunny day, don't stay in the house, go out and go out." ”
"Yes." Gan Peilin and Gan Jilu responded in unison.
turned to see Gan Wanyun turn around and go to the house, Gan Jilu called her: "Do you want the third sister to go out for a walk too?" It is true that it has not been sunny for half a month, and it is rare that the weather is good. ”
"Thank you, sister, for your kindness." Gan Wanyun shook her head lightly: "My mother wants to embroider an upper, I have to help pick up the thread." ”
Gan Peilin was not reluctant: "Then let's go back next time." ”
She and Gan Wanyun were talking for a while, and Gan Jilu had already led Mo Chuxue out of the door.
That's good, there's no need to pretend to be sisterly. What's more, Chen Rui helped her make an appointment with Wu Wei, and on the day of the first sunny day, Xinghualou had a drink.
Crispy Core accompanied her into the carriage, and Chen Rui drove around the market a few times. After making sure that no one was following, they walked through a small alley and entered the Xinghua Building through the back door.
Xiao Er remembered Wu Wei's instructions, and when he saw her coming, he directly led people into the elegant room on the second floor.
The crispy core was arranged in the side room next to the elegant room, and sat and waited with Chen Rui.
"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." As soon as Gan Peilin entered the door, he saw Wu Wei dismantling flowers.
He was dressed in an ochre-colored brocade robe, but his hands were full of light purple chrysanthemum petals. The slender bamboo-like fingers were pinching a slender petal and had not yet let it go. The room is filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums.
"It's just Qingming, there are such beautiful chrysanthemums?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but be strange.
"In fact, whether a flower blooms or not is not necessarily determined by the season." Wu Wei raised his head slightly, looking at Gan Peilin in light purple clothes, which was particularly good-looking. Pour and this chrysanthemum to the occasion.
"Oh? What is the high opinion of the champion? Gan Peilin walked over with a smile.
Wu Wei got up and moved her chair so that she could sit down. Only when she was seated did he return to his place and sit down.
"It's nothing more than sunshine, warmth, water, and fertilizer." Wu Weirao is smile: "As long as you manage it carefully, you can decide for yourself what kind of flowers you want to see." It's just that it takes a lot of thought. It just so happens that there is such a gardener in our house. ”
Gan Peilin picked up the chrysanthemum that had not been dismantled by him, and hooked his lips slightly: "This is indeed the truth." ”
"How about a taste of the pastries we prepared today." Wu Wei sideways brought the pastries on the round table to her: "This is a qiongye cake, which is drizzled with some excellent nectar, and it is also the honey made by the bees raised by the gardeners in the house." ”
"Even a plate of snacks makes you bother so much, I really can't help it." Gan Peilin laughed, his clear eyes stained with the meaning of the spring day. "After the last time we met, I heard about you...... I don't know if it's because of me ......."
Wu Wei just smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart.
Gan Peilin only lowered his head and ate the pastry, and did not continue the topic.
"How can it be such a coincidence, the Metropolitan Governor is also here."
This voice was very familiar, and Gan Peilin immediately recognized it as Gan Jiaolu. She said that the Metropolitan Governor was also here? Could it be that Jiang Yu came with her?
Of course, Wu Wei also heard this voice, and his face changed slightly. "The window here looks out on the observation deck on the second floor. They must be there. ”
Gan Peilin put down the qiongye cake in his hand, got up and walked to the window, and slowly pushed open a gap.
Sure enough, Jiang Yu and Ao Li were there, as well as Gan Jilu and Mo Chuxue.
But strange to say, none of the four people noticed her upstairs. It seems that it may not be the situation she suspects.
However, how could Gan Jilu and Mo Chuxue come to Xinghualou?
"Isn't this the second lady of Ganfu?" Ao Li looked around and made sure he didn't see Gan Peilin, so he breathed a sigh of relief. "It's rare, such a good weather, you also come to this apricot blossom building to taste apricot blossom brewing."
"Sister Ao is polite." Gan Jilu smiled slightly: "Sister, this red dress is really beautiful." It is also a pleasing color, and people with dark skin are wearing it, and their skin is dark. But the person with a skin as bright as snow wears it on his body, and the whole person seems to come out of the snow, and the white skin makes people can't help but look at it twice. My sister's skin is really as white as snow. ”
"My sister has such a coincidental mouth." A faint smile appeared on Ao Li's face. "It's much more talkative than your sister."
Gan Ji sneered lightly in the bottom of her heart, but she didn't show her thoughts on her face: "I just don't know where I bought the material for my sister's clothes?" I really like this trick. ”
"Well." Ao Li smiled and grabbed Jiang Yu's hand: "Then I have to ask the Metropolitan Governor." ”
"I heard that a few days ago, in order to please my sister, the Metropolitan Governor bought out the entire South Street." Gan Jilu glanced at Jiang Yu with a smile, and her gaze finally fixed on Ao Li's face: "Sister is really a blessing." ”
Jiang Yucai didn't have the heart to pay attention to these, he wanted to know, since Gan Jilu was here, what about Gan Peilin? Why didn't she follow. Counting the last time we were apart, I haven't seen her for more than ten days. That unpredictable girl doesn't know where she is or what she is doing...... It's really uncomfortable.
"Metropolitan Governor......" Ao Li called him twice, but he didn't respond. Grand Governor. What are you thinking? ”
"Oh......" Jiang Yu was shaken by her arm before he came back to his senses. I'm wondering where I bought it. I didn't think about it for a while. ”
Ao Li smiled lightly: "The shop may not be far ahead, why don't we take the second sister of the Gan family to go shopping?" ”
"There you go." Jiang Yu took advantage of the situation to hook her hand and stroked it down, withdrew her hand and said, "I just want to see someone, and ask the store to prepare wine and food and wait for you." ”
"That......" Ao Li didn't want to be separated from him. It's better to ...... another day."
Gan Jilu deliberately pretended not to understand, and grabbed her hand: "Good sister, take me quickly." Let's go and go back, and we won't delay your meal with the Grand Duke." ”
Feeling that she might have something important to say to herself, Ao Li didn't shirk anymore, smiled and nodded before reluctantly saying to Jiang Yu: "Then I'll come when I go." ”
Jiang Yu didn't make a sound.
Mo Chuxue shook her head at Gan Jilu: "Sister go first, I'm a little uncomfortable, just wait for my sister here?" ”
"It's fine." Gan Jilu didn't look at her again, obviously disgusted.
Ao Li only thought that she didn't like to have a superfluous follower, and she didn't care. The two men walked down the stairs laughing.
"The show has just begun." Wu Wei didn't know when he was standing beside Gan Peilin.
Maybe it was a little close, and Gan Peilin could smell the fragrance of chrysanthemums stained on him. "What's the show?"
"Didn't you see that?" Wu Weicai didn't believe it.
Gan Peilin was just about to speak, when he saw Mo Chuxue's body weaken, and the whole person fell to the ground.
There were only two people on the entire platform on the second floor, her and Jiang Yu. Even if you want to pretend you can't see it, it's impossible.
What's more, Jiang Yu is not too cold, and he always has to ask a question at such a time. "What's wrong with Miss Mo?"
"I didn't ...... It's okay. Mo Chuxue held her stomach with one hand, barely supporting her body with the other and wanted to sit up. But Qing's cold face was not as relaxed as her tone, and something was obviously wrong.
Jiang Yu saw the clue and walked over to her: "Where have you just been?" ”
Her lips turned black, her cheeks flushed, and she was so intoxicated with pain that she couldn't speak anymore.
"Poisoning." Jiang Yu's eyes were sharp, and he found that her nails were blue, and he quickly helped her to several important acupuncture points. His hand pressed against her pulse, his brow furrowed slightly.
I don't know if it was an instinctive reaction, or if he sensed something. Gan Peilin saw him tear a sachet from Mo Chuxue's body, opened it with a quick movement, and poured out the contents of it.
"Someone." Jiang Yu summoned someone over, as if he had ordered something.
Then he pulled out the silver hairpin on Mo Chuxue's sideburns and pierced her wrist with the sharp end.
Soon, someone came over with a bottle. Jiang Yu poured the powder on Mo Chuxue's wrist. and wrapped his veil around her. "Send her back to Ganfu. Tell the people in the house, please take a look. ”
"Yes." The entourage immediately took Mo Chuxue away, leaving Jiang Yu alone staring at the sachet in a daze.
"You say, that thing can't have anything to do with you, right?" Wu hid his worries in a joking tone.
Gan Peilin frowned solemnly: "This trick is good, it can not only let him know his situation, but also give him a chance to save the beauty as a hero." It seems that you know Mo Chuxue better than I do. ”
"Mo Chuxue?" Wu Wei didn't like the name very much. "The first snow, a white patch, should be a very beautiful scenery. But she is so scheming, how can she be worthy of this purity? ”
Gan Peilin smiled: "Why does Lord Wu of Si Tianjian dislike a scheming woman?" Is there a scheming woman in this world? Have you seen it? ”
