11. Life is like an old man
No matter how much Meng Nanjun regretted today's impulsiveness, this matter spread as she expected, and it could even be said that it would not take half a day for the entire imperial capital to know that Meng Nanjun was "speechless" to defend Dingnanhou.
However, if a Daqi woman marries someone as a concubine, unless she is a side lady, the rest have a low status, and it can be said that there is no difference between her and the people in the house, so as Meng Nanjun said, she is the wife of Dingnanhou who has not passed the door, and her identity is already a head higher, and the entire Gu Mansion can overshadow him except for Master Gu, and only Dingnanhou can overshadow him.
In this way, even if she teaches a concubine who talks nonsense next to Master Gu, she still has that qualification, let alone a concubine who is her equal.
It's just that Gu Fei is such an arrogant and domineering character, which means that her mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Gu Fei went back with half of her face swollen and cried again, and Liu turned blue.
"The Gu family just uses her as a chess piece, she really dares to climb up the pole."
Seeing Liu's contemptuous face, Gu Fei knew that Meng Nanjun was not enough to be taken by Liu's eyes, and he was immediately relieved in his heart. It's just that when she thought of the humiliation she suffered outside, she shed tears again and pretended to be wronged.
"She asked people to restrain me today, and gagged me again, I didn't even resist at all, and I lost all my money here."
Hearing her cry even more fiercely, Liu couldn't help but rub the corners of his forehead that was jumping suddenly, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you panicking about? She made you lose face today, and you can bear with it, and when you come to the house, you are not at the mercy of us to send slaves. I want to see how capable the wife of one of her eldest sons can be, and dare to climb on top of me. ”
How do some people think about tossing Meng Nanjun in the mansion is not much, in short, Meng Nanjun's mind is obviously not on this marriage, and she will not consider who will make her stumble after entering the mansion. At this time, what she cared about was only the strangeness that appeared on Liu Yunqi.
As a feng shui family, the Meng family has heard a lot of strange talks, but Meng Nanjun has never seen it, even if the problem is in front of her, she can't find the crux of the problem. However, in the past few days, she has flipped through the collection of books in the big study, and she has really found a similar situation.
That's Gu poison.
It's just that Gu poison is an evil art, it can poison the body and control people's minds, and it can't be put on the table, so naturally it can't be learned if you want to, if Liu Yunqi is indeed Gu, Meng Nanjun really can't think of where this trick came from.
Or maybe he didn't do it directly.
A lot of confusion was entangled in his heart, Meng Nanjun couldn't even determine whether his guess was accurate, but his thoughts turned a few times, but he couldn't help but think of the female ghost who was also obsessed with Zhou Xu.
Meng Nanjun has no way of knowing how far his infatuation with Zhou Xu is, but it will definitely not be a little lighter than the current Liu Yunqi.
But how many affectionate people are there in the world? No matter how much you are nostalgic for the world, you can't escape reincarnation. And there must be a reason why she can achieve the body of a powerful ghost.
Thinking of this, Meng Nanjun turned over and sat up from the almost mountain of books around her, but she didn't go far, she just dipped her pen in ink and painted on the desk, and within a moment, half of the beauty jumped on the paper.
In fact, judging from the portrait alone, even if it is only half painted, it is not too scary, but when he thinks of the other half he saw that night, Meng Nanjun can't help but rub his arms, and always feels that the blue sky is a little cold.
"Miss, who is this drawing?" Lishu was watching Mrs. Meng cook dim sum before, and when the jujube paste cake was just ready, she couldn't wait to bring it to Meng Nanjun, and she was a little curious to see that she rarely picked up a pen to paint.
Just when she saw the half of the woman's face clearly, her eyebrows raised slightly.
"At that time, this girl handed over the flowers, but the young lady didn't answer, so I didn't say anything, but it's been almost a month, and the young lady still remembers this person, but don't really fall in love with others." Lishu put the jujube paste cake next to him, looked at the painting carefully, and sighed twice, "Although our Daqi is slightly more open than our neighbors, there has never been a precedent for two women to live together, Miss has to rest this thought as soon as possible, otherwise let Madame know, it can really break your legs." ”
Meng Nanjun was pinching up a piece of pastry thoughtfully, and she was very dazed when she heard Lishu say this, but when she wanted to understand the meaning of Lishu, she frowned slightly.
"Can't you see those things? How can you still know the person in this portrait? Meng Nanjun asked strangely.
Lishu was also used to being frightened by her, so she didn't care at all at this time, and sat aside and began to eat pastries, "People appear in front of me in the blue sky and daylight, can I still not know if it's a person or a ghost?" But the young lady doesn't remember people very much, but she just handed you a flower, and she can be remembered by you for more than half a month, and she said that she didn't take people to heart? ”
She was just a casual joke, but Meng Nanjun suddenly grabbed her arm and asked with some eagerness: "Who do you say this painting looks like?" ”
Lishu was startled by her, and half of the jujube paste cake in her hand was crushed and fell on her body, so she had to clean it up and replied: "On March 3rd, Miss disguised herself as a man and went to the waterside of Acacia, during which many people handed flowers to Miss, and I remember that this girl was the first to come." At that time, Miss didn't pick up the peach blossoms, she also changed her face, and she looked like she was not easy to provoke, Miss didn't remember? ”
There were so many people gathered by the Acacia Waterside that day, and Meng Nanjun also received a lot of peach blossoms, where can he still remember them all so clearly? But as the pear book said, this person was the first to come, and he was a bad-tempered master, and he could remember the whole picture with a little recollection.
And when she looked at the person in the portrait again, one was flamboyant and the other was crazy, and the two faces could inexplicably overlap a few points.
said that the two had nothing to do with each other, but Meng Nanjun himself didn't believe it.
"Miss draws her, but what's the matter?" Naturally, Lishu couldn't really think that her young lady was worried about the other party, and the reason why she said what she said before was a joke, but at this time, seeing that her face was serious, she quickly restrained her playful look.
Meng Nanjun asked her: "Do you remember a few days ago, I asked you to go out with me to lure the female ghost to appear?" ”
Lishu nodded, and listened to Meng Nanjun continue: "You didn't see it at the time, so naturally you don't know the appearance of the female ghost, but I can see it clearly, and the person's appearance is just like the person I painted." At first, I was still thinking that Zhou Xu's Dixiliu family must have found out, although I wanted to start with the identity of the female ghost, but I couldn't directly take the portrait out to scare the snake. Now that I have discovered someone so similar to her, wouldn't it be easier for me to search for a living person than a dead person? ”
Listening to her talking about the living and the dead, Lishu was shocked into a cold sweat, and just wanted to give herself two slaps, in order to warn herself not to ask more questions about everything, but the words were asked, even if she didn't want to mix it up, she could only listen to it.
But she was also curious.
"Although I don't know what happened between this woman and Zhou Xu, whether it was the sentence engraved on the door, or what she did, or the words I heard from her mouth, it all proved that she must be very affectionate to Zhou Xu. But why she died, why she insisted on staying in the world and did not want to be reincarnated, and who she wanted to take revenge on when she became a powerful ghost, these are all things to figure out. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to let Yunqi be with him with peace of mind. ”
It's really a bit of a coincidence to string these things together, but after listening to it, Lishu only had one guess, "Maybe Zhou Gongzi lost her, which made her unwilling to seek revenge from Zhou Gongzi after her death, and Zhou Gongzi already had Miss Liu by her side at that time, so she felt that Miss Liu was involved between the two, so she wanted to take revenge." ”
The reason why Lishu said this was because he had read too much of the book, but when Meng Nanjun heard this, he felt that it was not impossible.
After all, from the beginning to the end, the female ghost didn't seem to have the intention of killing Zhou Xu, and that day it was Zhou Xu who set up the carriage and collided head-on with people without dodging or avoiding, Liu Yunqi should not have been involved.
"If that's the case, then I can't spare him,"
Meng Nanjun has always been a person who protects her shortcomings, Liu Yunqi is very close to her, since she was a child, anyone who dares to say two bad things about her Meng Nanjun has to scold her back, if Zhou Xu really dares to calculate Liu Yunqi's head, then the consequences can be imagined.
"What are the plans of the young lady now?" Seeing that she was interested, Lishu also asked.
"You go and find out who that person is on March 3, and then see if she has a deceased sister. If it really matches, it will be much easier to ask why this female ghost died. ”
Lishu inquired about all kinds of news on weekdays, and she was very handy at doing this kind of thing, but she waited until the identity of this person was really identified. But it made it difficult for her.
"This girl's name is Xu Wanzhou, her father is a physician, although she only serves a beauty who is not very favored, she is not a pivotal figure in the palace, but compared to ordinary people like us, she is also a lot taller. The Xu family has two daughters and two men, the eldest daughter Xu Ji drowned a few years ago, the Xu family almost kept silent about her, the specific reason is unknown, and this little daughter Xu Wanzhou is an arrogant character, and ordinary people really can't make an appointment with her. ”
After listening to Lishu, Meng Nanjun showed a sad face, this identity has been found out, but it is difficult to go further, which is really a little anxious.
"Why don't you change into men's clothes?" Rishu casually came up with an idea.
Meng Nanjun originally wanted to say that he should find a more reliable way, but after thinking about it carefully, he had no other ideas now, so he could only plan to do so for the time being.
The intersection with Xu Wanzhou is only on March 3, and if you really want to contact Xu Wanzhou with this identity, it will definitely be inappropriate to come to the door directly, so you can only find another way.
So the master and servant pondered for a long time, and the other went through the script, and finally arranged a scene of heroes saving beauty.
