Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Fuyuan Hall.

Mrs. Zhou looked at the three members of the Gu family present, her face was very ugly, "Dare to ask Lord Gu, Mrs. Gu, Yi'er." ”

Before the three members of the Gu family arrived, Mrs. Zhou met Zhilan who came over in a hurry, and knew that the Zhang family planned to attack Gu Qingyi, so she hurriedly sent someone to pick her up, but now she didn't see Gu Qingyi's figure, presumably she missed it with the person who sent it.

The docking between the two sides is not smooth, and the time is too late, so it is easy to get out of the basket.

Gu Kangwen frowned, looked at Zhang, Zhang's face was calm and calm, "Mrs. Zhou doesn't have to worry, Qingyi took another carriage, it is estimated that it was delayed on the road, and he will be able to come over soon." ”

Mrs. Zhou's face sank, and she probably understood Zhang's methods. The frame of a high-ranking family is not spacious and luxurious, how can it not accommodate a Gu Qingyi, and now let her take another carriage, it is obvious that she is doing something in the car.

She couldn't help but look at Gu Kangwen, who had no different color on his face, as a shrewd and sophisticated secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did he really not notice that there was a problem? Or did he want to push the boat with the current......

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou shuddered, tiger poison does not eat children, Gu Kangwen actually disliked Gu Qingyi to the point of being like this.

"If Huijun is worried, I will let the house slave pick up the people."

Seeing the anxiety and uneasiness on Mrs. Zhou's face, Zhou Yan, the Marquis of Dingyuan, who had not spoken, finally opened his mouth, he was a middle-aged beautiful man, with a gentle and elegant temperament, and he could get a glimpse of the grace and bearing of his youth, even if he didn't say anything, he could attract the admiring eyes of the maids in the house.

It's just that his gaze did not stay on the outsiders, he kept paying attention to Mrs. Zhou on his side, and the flattery and caution in his tone and demeanor could be faintly glimpsed, seeing that Mrs. Zhou did not object, he immediately ordered the house slave to find someone, and personally held a cup of tea for Mrs. Zhou, "Don't worry, you can still lose people in broad daylight, let's wait." ”

Mrs. Zhou glanced at him, gave face to the tea cup, just dipped her lips and put it down, even so, Dingyuan Hou still showed obvious joy, and turned to talk to Gu Kangwen.

The two have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and the relationship is not enough, and even because of their political position, they still have a faint relationship, Gu Kangwen originally disliked Dingyuan Hou, which is also one of the main reasons why he did not want Gu Qingyi to worship his relatives, and now that the other party took the initiative to talk, he still politely agreed to come down, so it didn't look embarrassing.

Zhang and Gu Wenyin sat directly on the cold bench, Mrs. Zhou has always been jealous and hateful, disgusted with the mother and daughter, and didn't even want to say more about the scene, her cold and indifferent appearance made Gu Wenyin angry, and muttered to Zhang's in a low voice, "Mother, Mrs. Zhou is too arrogant, obviously she is in a hurry to marry Gu Fu, and she is so snub to me." ”

Zhang's already iron-green face was even more ugly.

Mrs. Zhou is equivalent to the existence of legends in the social circle, of course, it is not a good reputation, after all, the dignified Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis lives in seclusion in the nunnery, no matter how you look at it, she is mediocre and incompetent, and some people even speculate that she was disliked by the Marquis of Dingyuan and sent to the nunnery, a woman who has fallen out of favor, no matter how high her status is, is useless.

She thought that even if Mrs. Zhou came back from the nunnery, she would have no status, and it was already the ultimate to be able to recognize a righteous girl, but she didn't expect that her relationship with the Marquis of Dingyuan did not seem to be simple.

Why do you need to please a woman who has fallen out of favor?

Zhang frowned, and suddenly there was panic and helplessness when things were out of control......

The Marquis of Dingyuan and Gu Kangwen chatted awkwardly for a long time, and suddenly a maidservant said, "Lord Hou, madam, the elders of the clan and the guests who watched the ceremony have arrived, and they are asking when the ceremony of recognizing relatives will begin." ”

The Fuyuan Hall was so quiet that it could be heard, and everyone looked at Mrs. Zhou, seeing that her face was calm, showing an extremely calm smile, "The auspicious time has not yet arrived, and we need to wait for some more time." Mrs. Gu, let's go out and sit with everyone for a while, Yi'er still has to dress up and wait for the auspicious time. ”

This was obviously a delaying tactic, but everyone present, including Zhang, had no reason to debunk it, even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they still followed Mrs. Zhou out.

Because of the rumors on the streets and alleys, Gu Qingyi, who was originally unknown in the social circle in Beijing, became known to everyone overnight, and Mrs. Zhou, the Marquis of Dingyuan, suddenly appeared in the social circle.

The garden of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion covers a wide area, it is planted with strange flowers and plants, it is very gorgeous, and there are rockery pavilions, green lakes and green lotus, the scenery is beautiful, it is a good place for the banquet, the Zhou clan and the guests who watched the ceremony were arranged to enjoy the garden, and saw Mrs. Zhou and others came out to ask, some people listened to the explanation and nodded understandingly, "It is unusual to recognize relatives, it is appropriate to be cautious, this time congratulations to Mrs. Zhou, you have to add a beloved daughter, and there will be intimate people to speak in the future." ”

Mrs. Zhou showed a smile on her face, "Thanks to Mrs. Qin's auspicious words, Yi'er has a gentle and generous temperament, is kind and considerate, and has excellent character and virtue, I was happy when I saw it, and it was even more like me to get along, so I cheekily snatched my daughter with Mrs. Gu." I hope Mrs. Gu doesn't blame me. ”

Zhang showed a standard social smile, "What Mrs. Zhou said, I dare to blame you for the blessing of Qingyi." ”

Although the words were not wrong, but I always felt a little gunpowder, thinking of the identity of Zhang's continuation, Mrs. Qin's face flashed a different color, and hurriedly played a round, "Mrs. Gu is right, Miss Gu is not born blessed, in the future, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Gu will be taken care of twice, and others will not be envious of such good things." ”

The surrounding ladies laughed and joked, and Mrs. Zhou also talked to them with dignity, intentionally or unintentionally isolating the Zhang family. Today's people who came to watch the ceremony were not only friends with the Marquis of Dingyuan, but also many people who came to see the excitement, and one of the ladies mentioned it maliciously, "I heard that Mrs. Zhou and Miss Gu met in Peach Blossom Nunnery?" ”

There was a sudden silence around, everyone looked at each other, and secretly looked at the faces of Mrs. Zhou and the Gu Mansion, the rumors outside were all spread, this matter is a taboo, and if you ask this question at the family recognition banquet, you are suspected of slapping your face.

It was the wife of the servant of the Ministry of Officials who spoke, the Servant Lang used to be an official of the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace, and now there are still mysterious cases pending in the East Palace, it is a matter of Gu Qingyi, no wonder she is looking for trouble.

This confession was originally to wash Gu Qingyi's reputation, Mrs. Zhou was worried that no one raised the difficulty, but instead of getting angry, she smiled, her quiet face was contaminated with kindness and compassion from meditation, and even the words she said were with the truth of the Buddha's voice, which made people can't help but be infected by it and convinced, "What Mrs. Li said is true, Yi'er has been weak since she was a child, and she was seriously ill in the spring, so Mrs. Gu sent her to my nunnery to recuperate, and the fate of our mother and daughter was complete." I rarely have a young offspring who I like, and I can't bear to see her in the nunnery, so I took her to Zhuangzi to live, and forgot to inform Mrs. Gu, which caused a lot of trouble, and I also looked at Mrs. Gu Haihan. ”

Although Gu Kangwen is a male guest, the men and women of the Great Zhou are not strict, and they are talking to Dingyuan Hou and others at this time, and after listening to Mrs. Zhou's words, he said that he didn't mind, so he set an official tone for Gu Qingyi.

Mrs. Li didn't want to see Gu Qingyi clear her name, and said unrelentingly, "It is rumored that Miss Gu stole the crown princess's Jin Buyao and framed the fourth lady of the Yongning Bo Mansion. ”

Mrs. Zhou's face darkened completely, "Mrs. Li said carefully, you have also said it, the rumors are just rumors, there is a judgment on the merits, Yi'er is innocent, how can the dirty water splashed by others count." ”

"The crown princess's Jin Buyan was lost on the day she returned to the door, and Miss Gu also went to Yongyi Houfu that day, isn't it suspicious?" Mrs. Li sneered, "Who else can steal Jin Buyan and send it to the fourth lady of Yongning Bo Mansion?" ”

"According to Mrs. Li's judgment, isn't it the people of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion who are the most suspicious?"
