Chapter 44: Cold Tea
Mingshu is not there, and Li Xiuwen and Gu Mingyuan are not good alone. So when Mingshu returned to Chanjuan Courtyard, Gu Mingyuan had already gone back.
Li Xiuwen explained a few more words to Mingshu and left.
Mingshu called Hongli and said, "When you send the fourth lady back, what's wrong?" ”
Hongli shook her head, "It's just that the boss of the fourth lady doesn't want a few of us to follow, so he has to take another path." Gritted her teeth angrily, "The lady is obviously for her good, and she doesn't know how to appreciate it!" ”
Mingshu smiled and said, "Whatever." But thinking that Hongli didn't hesitate to contradict Gu Mingyue and had to do what she wanted, he was very happy, "Hongli, why are you so good?" ”
In her previous life, she was crookedly locked up in a side courtyard, and she could only please those maids and mothers-in-law, so she could barely get a full meal.
It's also bleak to think about.
Hongli laughed heartlessly and said, "When am I bad?" After speaking, the always thick dough couldn't hang up at all, scratching the back of his head, "I'm the lady's maid, whatever the lady says, it's what it is!" ”
Mingshu lowered her eyelashes, sniffed, and didn't make a sound.
She thought for a while and said, "I don't know if Ah Kite is angry......"
As soon as Gu Mingyuan entered the door, he kicked open the stool. The nurse closed the door in a panic and lowered her voice: "Lady, it's not good to be seen here." ”
Gu Mingyuan frowned impatiently, barely losing his temper.
A soft woman's voice came from outside the house, "What's wrong with the kite?" ”
The nurse hurriedly pushed open the door to greet her, and said with a smile: "Aunt Bai, please hurry." He turned sideways to welcome the woman in, but took the opportunity to lower his voice and said, "The lady is angry, my aunt advises." ”
The woman was born very beautiful, with curved willow eyebrows, bright apricot eyes, snow-white and delicate skin, and natural style.
Seeing Gu Mingyuan, he gently patted the little girl's back, and said softly, "What's wrong?" But when you are angry with your sisters, how did your aunt and your grandmother teach you to be humble with your sisters? ”
Gu Mingyuan bit his lip and did not speak.
After a while, she raised her face and said to the nurse, "I want to talk to my aunt." ”
The nurse nodded silently, withdrew with a group of maids, closed the door again, and stood guard outside the door.
The dimples on Aunt Bai's cheeks slowly dissipated, and her expression became cold, and she said, "Who made you angry like this?" ”
Gu Mingyuan was a little awkward, but he still said, "It's the seventh sister." "And he told him what was on the way.
Aunt Bai's face was very ugly, she sat down at the small round table, and pushed the tea bowl at this time, "This is to see that my kite is a concubine and is easy to bully, I'll go and tell your mother!" ”
Having said that, Aunt Bai sat still and did not move.
Gu Mingyuan pressed Aunt Bai's hand and said, "Auntie, don't be angry." ”
Aunt Bai looked at Gu Mingyuan with satisfaction and stroked the top of her hair, "It's still my girl who is born considerate, unlike Gu Mingyue's waste, her aunt is so miserable, she doesn't know how to take a look." ”
Gu Mingyuan curled the corners of his mouth and smiled well-behaved.
"It's not good for me, my kite, even a daughter like Dafang is also comparable......" Aunt Bai's face was melancholy, "Ah kite, you have to please your mother and father, understand?" In this way, A-Niang and you can live a good life in the future. ”
Gu Mingyuan nodded obediently and said, "I know." ”
Aunt Bai left at this time.
Gu Mingyuan stared at the tea bowl used by Aunt Bai for a long time, looking confused.
In fact, she vaguely knew what her mother-in-law was going to do when she asked her to bring her fourth sister to the garden. In fact, she is not angry with the seventh sister, she is afraid that her mother-in-law will punish her.
No, she can't wait for her grandmother to lose her temper.
Gu Mingyuan stood up suddenly, pushed open the door, and said to the nurse, "Hurry up, prepare some ginger for me." ”
The nurse didn't ask why, but hurried to go, and after a while brought a small saucer with freshly cut ginger slices.
Still closed the door, Gu Mingyuan took the ginger slices and wiped them on his eyes, and his eyes were hazy with tears in an instant.
This method was taught to her by Aunt Bai.
I didn't arrange my hair and clothes, so I went out directly and hurried to the main courtyard.
Lin has just received guests, and he is in a good mood for the time being. Seeing the pitiful-looking Gu Mingyuan, he just frowned and did not scold.
Gu Ming kneeled down, dragged and cried: "Mother, you asked me to send the fourth sister back, it was for the good of the fourth sister......" She choked up, "But the seventh sister didn't want the fourth sister to approach in front of the guests, and she had to pull me away." ”
Lin almost understood what was going on, and his face gradually turned cold.
It's just that before she could speak, Gu Mingyuan cried again: "Don't say that the fourth sister broke her face and was so embarrassed." Even I can't resist the seventh sister, and I'm very embarrassed. ”
Lin Shi lowered his face coldly and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”
Gu Mingyuan hurriedly told the things in the garden, and said: "The seventh sister is just teasing the fourth sister, she didn't let the fourth sister go several times, and she slipped me away directly. ”
The Lin family didn't like Mingshu, and he was even more uncomfortable at this time.
Gu Mingyuan subconsciously continued to add fuel and vinegar, crying heavily, "Let others know that our lady in Houfu can't even walk well." ”
She cried so much that Lin had a headache, and she couldn't help shaking her hand and said, "Don't cry." He frowned and said, "You said that Ling Ling had to take you away?" ”
What does Mingshu have to do to make trouble?
Before Lin had time to think about it, a mother-in-law hurriedly ran in and whispered in Lin's ear about the things in the garden.
The white paper fan in Lin's hand fell to the ground with a snap, and she didn't speak for a while. Not only did Mingyue not be calculated, Lin Chao was also bumped into.
"What can I do, ma'am?" The mother-in-law said urgently.
Lin also thought about it carefully, and said, "You quickly went to my treasury and took the pair of water jade bracelets, and a set of ruby gold heads, all of which were packed in sandalwood boxes and sent to the eldest lady." ”
The mother-in-law lifted her feet and was about to go out.
Lin Shi shouted again and said, "Just say that I should answer that matter, please ask the eldest lady to help hug Lin Chao." ”
The mother-in-law belched, and then turned around again.
Lin leaned back suddenly, his face blue with anger.
Gu Mingyuan sighed in his heart, it seemed that something had happened, and he didn't know what it was.
She heard Lin Shi say: "Ah Kite, today's incident was originally that the order was wrong. You can't be so weak, you know? ”
Gu Mingyuan said softly: "I understand." ”
Lin snorted and said, "You go back," he paused, "This month's monthly money has been deducted, I can't go to the penalty order." ”
