Chapter 69: Scapegoat (Request for Initial Appointment)
Mingshu took a sip of plum wine and leaned on the couch.
Gu Mingyuan said, "My eldest girl, Pu Jia," she paused, as if she wanted to say something, and then obediently got up and walked to Lin and knelt down, "Mother Wu just bumped into Pu Jia and had a private meeting with someone. ”
Lin's smile faded, and a pair of slender phoenix eyes appeared sharp and mean on his high and towering cheekbones, like an awl.
"Where's Mother Wu?" Lin said.
Gu Mingchu's smile faded, and he looked at Mingshu quietly. Mingshu happened to bend down to put down the wine glass, and when she raised her eyes, her eyes met and smiled.
Gu Mingchu looked away and concentrated on seeing how Gu Mingyuan could excuse himself.
And Mother Wu also came up, knelt down a little apprehensively, and kowtowed a few times before saying, "The slave went to find the Seventh Lady, and I bumped into it." ”
Gu Mingyuan raised his hand forward, touched the ground with his forehead, and his body was almost prostrate on the ground. She said in a crisp tone before Lin could speak, "Mother, I am willing to be punished on behalf of Pujia, and I implore my mother to let Pujia go anyway." ”
Mingshu was a little surprised, she didn't expect Gu Mingyuan to intercede at such a costly confrontation with the Lin family.
Lin only smiled and said, "You are so young, what am I punishing you for?" And thou hast done no wrong......
"Mother, when the lantern was added to the lunar month this year, I invited myself to Baozhang Temple to pray for my grandmother for three years."
Gu Mingyuan interrupted Lin's words.
Lin Shi was unmoved, and only said coldly: "Don't mess around!" ”
Gu Mingyuan knelt and didn't move, but said, "Please mother." When he lifted his face again, his eyes were hazy with moisture and teary eyes.
His own daughter, the people in his own daughter's room, and the girls in the third room, all watched. can't go too far, Lin is really angry and his lungs hurt.
She pulled her veil, gritted her teeth and said, "You asked me to carry such a thing for her?" She's shameless, you, the lady of the Houfu, I, the wife of the Houfu, your sisters, are all shameless?! ”
"I'll let Pu Jia go home." Gu Mingyuan only gritted his teeth.
Lin was so angry that he couldn't speak, he clutched his chest, and pointed at Gu Mingyuan with his finger holding the handkerchief, trembling violently.
Gu Mingchu hurriedly gave the Lin family a good breath, and stabbed Gu Mingyuan straight at Gu Mingyuan with an eye knife, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to call someone to pull Gu Mingyuan away.
"Second aunt, don't be angry. Sending the leaves back can be regarded as a good fate for you, and it is not impossible. Mingshu said.
Lin didn't bother to sort out Mingshu, and only waved his hand.
Gu Mingyuan said: "Mother, if you are like this, no one will ever say that you are harsh in the future." ”
Lin's hand paused.
Gu Mingchu said angrily: "What about the nurse?" Send the eight ladies back! ”
The nurse came out in a hurry, and several big girls grabbed Gu Mingyuan's hand together, half-pulled and half-pushed, and took Gu Mingyuan away directly, and it was too late to struggle.
Mingshu calmly took a sip of plum wine, and she also felt that the progress was a little wrong. However, I don't know what's wrong.
However, Gu Mingyuan's words were extremely good, Lin sat with his head propped up for a while, raised his eyes and saw that Mingshu was still there, and said, "It's late at night, Ling Ling go back to sleep quickly." ”
Mingshu blinked and smiled: "Second aunt, you might as well promise Ah Kite." I think her last sentence makes sense. Deliberately swallowed two sips of plum wine, and saw that Lin's face was dark again, and then said: "After all, the second aunt is so good, they chew the root of their tongue and say that the second aunt is strict." ”
The Lin family was born as a concubine, and it is always easy to be mean and stingy inadvertently, and she can't change it for so many years. He was also born mean and shrewd, and at first glance he made people feel extremely narrow-minded.
This was originally her sore spot, but the two of them stepped on it in a row.
Lin only felt very heartwarming.
After Mingshu stepped on her sore foot, she slid down briskly, pulled on her shoes, and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”
Lin shook his hand in response.
……
Mingshu walked slowly to her Chanjuan courtyard, suddenly thought of something, and asked Honglian: "Although we use horse-drawn carts at home, I heard that ordinary people have begun to use ox carts?" ”
Hongli said: "Yes, I heard a few days ago that the price of horses has risen again. But she didn't have a heart or lungs, and continued: "But our family has a lot of savings, and we can't lack a lady." ”
So whatever.
Mingshu thought about it and felt that she didn't have the courage to sell horses. However, when she was in her last life, she heard that Gu Huali took advantage of the war to sell horses and make a lot of money.
In his previous life, Gu Huali was not born in the imperial examination, but went to the Jiedu envoy to work as a staff member, and he was talented, and he was recommended to the imperial court by the Jiedu envoy and began to be an official.
Of course, when he was in power all over the world, he entered the cabinet without being a jinshi, and he was widely criticized by others.
Non-jinshi is inferior to the cabinet, so his background has become a stain.
Mingshu thought about it, and didn't want her fifth brother to be slandered again in this life. She has seen the strategies he wrote, calm, rigorous and sharp, with a sharp needle, and a skill in the simplicity of the words and sentences.
Even after living for two lifetimes, she felt that Gu Huali was very good.
"I want to go to Hoshoji Temple tomorrow."
Hongli was inexplicable, and couldn't help but say: "Lady, Baozhang Temple is very good?" After a pause, "Don't see through the red dust, the little wontons cooked by Mama Du are delicious." ”
Mingshu: "......"
On the second day, Mingshu got up early in the morning and went to ask her grandmother for peace, saying that she wanted to go to Baozhang Temple to see the maple leaves to relieve her boredom.
The old lady was most afraid of her entanglement, so she agreed without saying a word.
Mingshu went down happily.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Hongli picked out a primrose-colored quadruple Ruyi Luodi collared jacket for her, covered with bean green jacquard silk square collar ratio, dansha-colored folded branch begonia thread skirt, and lovely pearl flowers on her feet with tooth yellow embroidered shoes.
The pitch-black hair was combed into a low bun, and a small hairpin with pearl tassels was inserted. The cheeks are round, the eyes are clear, and the snow-white face is as clear as water.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Mingshu instructed Hongli to line up to receive mung bean water, and then spread some entourage, and he took advantage of the fact that no one paid attention to the soles of his feet to apply oil.
I got lost last time, and this time it's pretty much the same.
Mingshu wandered around the corridor in all directions for a long time before she barely found Gu Huali. As soon as she saw Gu Huali, Ming Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fifth brother!"
This time, she got to the back door and stood outside the bamboo fence and jumped up so that Gu Huali could see herself.
He sat under the bitter gourd shelf and wrote, wearing a plain white robe, with dark eyebrows and eyes, a snow-white face, quiet and elegant like a beautiful jade.
Mingshu was a moment late in blinking at his good looks, and then a sense of pride rose in her heart.
The young man's eyes were cold and heavy, and when he saw Mingshu, he was soft and confused for a moment. Then he let go of the pen and got up and walked to the fence.
"How did you get yourself like this?"
Mingshu was puzzled, what happened to her? I felt a lightness on the soles of my feet - it turned out that Gu Huali bent down to pick her up, and then put her down.
And she went into the hedge.
