Sheng Mingzhu said, "It's nothing, he thinks it's because he was annoyed by the prince, so he is not very happy that Yongning will come to the mansion to find me-"

The county lord of Yongning is well-behaved, although he is from a rich background, there are not many bad problems in the royal family, Sheng Mingzhu also likes this little sister. It just so happened that she was going to the Jockey Club today, so she also asked Jin Zhi to reply to the letter. It's just that she can't sit with the county lord of Yongning, it's one thing for her to be unhappy with Wei Ci becoming the emperor.

It's one thing to like Yongning, but the prince is obedient, and he dealt with the Sheng family like that before. Sheng Mingzhu would not let the crown prince befriend her through Yongning, and then use Guan Ping's name to encircle the forces in the DPRK and China.

——

On Tuoba's horse racing day, the prince used to love famous horses and beauties, and every year he was correct, and there were naturally many officials and nobles in the field. Guan Ping used to come to such occasions often, but he didn't come much when he got older. This year is busy, I didn't plan to come to see it, but the head lady of the family was noisy to come, so I also found a stand.

After Sheng Mingzhu arrived, he sat quietly, with a pavilion on the stands, separated by light gauze, and the silhouette could be seen from a distance, but the face could not be seen. There are many Tuoba people at the bottom, and there are also poor subjects who want to take this opportunity to jump into the dragon gate, after all, the selection is all high-ranking officials and nobles, so the annual horse race day has also become an indispensable part of the customs of the Great Wei.

"If you're bored, go home early."

The light veil outside was lifted, but it was Guan Ping who walked in from outside. He was dressed in a black robe, obviously it was not too hot, but his head seemed to be sweating, and he walked to the table again and drank the tea placed in front of Sheng Mingzhu's small desk. Sheng Mingzhu took out a handkerchief from his waist, Guan Ping took it, and said, "Just now, the youngest son of the Lijun Wang family, Ma Yanzi, chased him on the road for a while. ”

The little boy was crying very loudly.

"It's too chaotic at night here, I'll send someone to pick you up at noon." After sitting for a while, and seeing that Sheng Mingzhu didn't mean to go back, Guan Ping said casually, got up from his position, and went out again. It was almost four months before Emperor Wei passed away, and the prince had not yet been established, and Sheng Mingzhu knew that he was going to deal with those courtiers.

He didn't stop him.

When the others left, Jin Zhi made himself a cup of flower tea again, and placed a plate of melon seeds next to him. The morale of the racecourse below was hot, and Jin Zhi watched from the side, "Madam, isn't it a horse race?" Why are there so many more women next to you? She was referring to a corner full of brightly dressed women.

From a distance, it looks like a cluster of flowers.

Sheng Mingzhu knocked on the melon seeds, "It was originally a racecourse, but it was originally a banquet for the Tuoba nobles, so it is not strange that there are more singers to play." As he was talking, the door veil was lifted again, Sheng Mingzhu thought that Guan Ping was going and returning, but he saw a small head stuffed in outside the gauze tent, and after seeing the situation inside, the whole person came in.

Sheng Mingzhu smiled after seeing who it was, and was about to say that she was quietly touching like a thief, when she saw a delicate girl walking out from behind the county lord of Yongning. The county lord of Yongning walked up to Sheng Mingzhu and said, "Sister Sheng, I have left a place for you, the situation in front of you is good, you can see everything clearly?" ”

He pulled the girl aside and said, "By the way, Sister Sheng, this is Gu Ling, the young lady of the Gu family, and she is my friend." ”

Sheng Mingzhu looked at the young lady of the Gu family, she was wearing a pink dress, a peach blossom beauty, and a jade bracelet on her wrist, and the whole person looked very transparent. Now that she is well-behaved and hangs her head slightly, she looks a little well-behaved, but she can't say that she doesn't feel anything, Sheng Mingzhu looked at the slightly drooping phoenix eyes, and always felt a strange feeling in her heart.

"Ling'er said that she has been here several times in the past, and there are still many interesting things on the back mountain, Sister Sheng, let's go together?" The main road of Yongning County.

Sheng Mingzhu shook his head, "It's not like a banquet in the palace, there are all kinds of people, and there are no government soldiers guarding the back mountain, so it's not very safe." "Now that the prince and Wei are fighting with black corns, the official department Shangshu almost suffered a few days ago, who can guarantee that the back mountain guarded by the prince's soldiers will be safe?

"There is the Prince's Mansion guarding ahead, and the East Factory is outside the town, so no one dares to make trouble." Gu Ling, who had been quietly on the side, spoke up, and looked up at Sheng Mingzhu again, "Mrs. Guan, it is said that there is a stage outside, there are many performers, and Master Guan is also in front, there should be no danger." ”

Sheng Mingzhu looked at Gu Ling, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Gu Ling's lips, he looked a little shy, and quickly lowered his head. The county lord of Yongning also pulled her sleeve and said, "There are some rough men in front, what is there to see in the horse race, Sister Sheng won't follow me to the back to see?" It is said that Lin Qingyan, the most popular singer in the alley building today, is also there, and the color and art are unique. ”

"The county lord is young, and he is a girl's family, but now he is anxious like a man, no matter how much he is lustful and artistic, what can the county lord do when he sees it?"

Jin Zhi was laughing on the side, and the county lord of Yongning came to play with Sheng Mingzhu, and his relationship with Jin Zhi gradually improved, and he could occasionally make a joke or two. Jin Zhi's words made the whole face of the county lord of Yongning red, and he said in shame, "Which one is like you think, I will also go to see the beautiful flowers in spring, but the left is just the best looking thing, I am willing to see what's wrong?" ”

Jin Zhi saw that she was a little annoyed, so he stopped teasing her, and only said forgiveness.

Yongning invited her several times, and in addition to the fact that she was kicked out of the house by Guan Ping anyway a few days ago, the little girl's family must not be very happy. It's okay to think about it, and she thought that Guan Ping was going back to Dongchang, but she didn't know what to do in the back mountain, and she also wanted to take a look, so she nodded and agreed.

——

A few people came down from the high platform, after all, there were more male guests outside, and they all carried a fence.

The county lord of Yongning was also accompanied by a few guards, and several people came down all the way to discuss the fashionable clothes in the capital recently, as well as the fashionable servants. Gu Ling walked forward, her voice was soft, and her tone was subdued when she spoke, which would not make people feel bored, "Speaking of which, Miss Lin has not been back to Beijing for many years, saying that she got married and had children five or six years ago, but she has suddenly come back in recent days, and she is in the limelight." ”

It stands to reason that a woman's good years are just a few years, Lin Qingyan was seventeen or eighteen when he became famous when he sang songs, and now five or six years have passed, although it is still the year of flowers. But in a place like the alley building, the most important thing is beauty, and it is a place for dignitaries to enjoy, and a beauty every year.

The re-blooming of out-of-season flowers is always a curiosity. It is the lord of Yongning who stays at home all the year round and does not go out, and he wants to see what Miss Lin, who is called the first beauty in Beijing by most people these days, looks like.

Several people walked forward together, and when they got off the high platform, the county lord of Yongning pulled Gu Ling to sit in the sedan chair of the prince's mansion, and Sheng Mingzhu got into his own sedan chair. The subordinates on the side bent down and just put down the upper horse stone, Gu Ling and the county lord of Yongning walked over, the two were still talking, and they didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

"Five or six years ago, at that time, Master Guan often went to the alley building, and the confidant of the red fan back then seemed to be Lin ......" The two gradually moved away, and many words were hidden in the wind. Sheng Mingzhu frowned slightly, if she didn't like Gu Ling at the beginning, it was just because this girl didn't fit her eyes, but now it's not for this.

During the conversation just now, I knew that Gu Ling, this girl, was a long-sleeved person who was good at dancing. I think she is a concubine in the family, and I often hear people say that the mother of the Gu Mansion has a strict family education, and it is not easy to come out with such a slender and outstanding girl. The status of the Gu Mansion is not high, and Gu Ling is even more humble, but now he can be with the eldest daughter of the prince's mansion, not to mention whether the scheming is good or bad.

If she hadn't done it on purpose, how could she have talked about the alley building before the head card and Guan Ping - thinking of this, Sheng Mingzhu was even more annoyed, she knew that she couldn't care about Guan Ping's previous affairs, whether he was a prodigal son or an infatuation before. But in the end, it's a little unpleasant.

Jin Zhi also vaguely heard what Gu Ling said just now, and was afraid that his young lady would be unhappy, so he wanted to say something to divert her thoughts, so he said, "Speaking of which, this Miss Gu is also a rare beauty, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she is charming and moving-" Gu Ling has a charming style, Xu is born, and he looks particularly good in pink today, and she is charming and pure.

Jin Zhi thought for a moment, "Speaking of which, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are a little similar to Madame." ”

There is a bit of a resemblance, Sheng Mingzhu is Danfeng eyes, long and pretty. That Gu Ling also had double red phoenix eyes, a slightly round melon seed face, and when he lowered his head and didn't speak, he was three or four points similar. Sheng Mingzhu leaned on the wall of the car, knocked on the carriage without a ride, and suddenly remembered something, and sat up straight.

"Jin Zhi, you said that Gu Ling is like me?"

Sheng Mingzhu looked at her young lady and didn't understand what she was surprised about. It's just that the beauty wants to earn a success, "It's a little similar, but speaking of the young lady's beauty, when she first came to the Sheng family, the second lady had a good temper, the young lady didn't go to Jiangfu to see the poetry meeting, and when she came back, the good name came out, that is, there were many people who imitated the dress at that time. ”

This is the case in Dawei, Song Yu and Jiang Runyan used to be the benchmark for women's dressing in Dawei, because of a talented woman and a beauty. It is the nature of women to be beautiful.

"Dressed like I was at the time?" Sheng Mingzhu thought about how strange it was when he looked at Gu Ling today.

Now I can figure it out, the pink dress on her body, she had a similar one when she first came to the capital, and she often wore it. The jade bracelet on the wrist is made of water glass, although it looks clear but not very valuable, it was worn at that time to give Ruan Shi no face, and the second is also because it looks beautiful.

Isn't Gu Ling what she looked like when she first came to the capital...... Thinking about this thoroughly, and thinking about what Gu Ling said just now, Sheng Mingzhu didn't have any more music in his heart, it was really a Muggle.

The carriage traveled quickly, and soon arrived at the back mountain, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras could already be heard. Jin Zhi got out of the carriage first, and then helped Sheng Mingzhu down.
