Chapter Twenty-Three: An Ugly Slave
On the night of Gu Ran's wedding, everyone in the house went to the housekeeper to receive a reward of silver, two copper coins per person, and a sackcloth, and after receiving these, I took all the money to buy food, which was enough to buy two roast chickens and a pot of chrysanthemum stuff.
I can't go on like this decadence and languishing, Gu Ran is right, Gu Yan is paralyzed, I can't also be paralyzed, I have to wake up, I can't go on with endless self-pity like this.
On the second day, I got up early in the morning, cleaned the bamboo house inside and out, wiped all the utensils and utensils back and forth three times before stopping, and after doing all this, I was so tired that I lay on the bed and meditated, and this was enough, it was enough.
And I also took the Tsing Yi I was looking for someone to make to Lan Qingyuan, and the two little guys in it have seen me many times, and each time they turned me away, but this time I was very calm.
"This is something I can do by myself, if the third young master doesn't like it, throw it away."
After speaking, he didn't care about their reactions, put it down and left, but just after taking two steps, he heard their voices.
"Who dares to wear the clothes given by a person who dares to poison his master."
"It's going to burn back."
……
On the third day, the palace is busy preparing for the banquet again, today is the day when Gu Ran returns to the door, I asked the princess to wait at the gate early, Xiao Shizi because I have taken care of this half a year, I am very slimy, so from the morning I followed me to the door to wait for his little aunt, and shouted that he would let the little brother-in-law buy him paper kites to play.
After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of a carriage in the distance, and I knew that there were many carts behind the carriage.
After a while, Gu Ran and they arrived, the purple curtain of flowers, and the tassels on both sides of the bright yellow floated gently with the breeze, and the lining was very solemn.
Gu Ran and her husband got down from the carriage, and a man and a woman standing on both sides of the carriage also followed into the house, the woman I know is Gu Ran's dowry maid Xiaoqin, but the man is very eye-catching, the reason why it is eye-catching is because he has a large iron mask on his face, which looks like people are panicking, and I looked at him but suddenly had a pimple, thinking about how I am getting smaller and smaller.
"Little aunt, I miss you so much!" As soon as Xiao Shizi saw Gu Ran, he refused to let me hold him, and the whole person stuck to Gu Ran's body, so Gu Ran opened his hand and hugged him.
Ling Han, who was on the side, looked at Xiao Shizi and couldn't help laughing: "Gu Yu, it's good to let the little brother-in-law hug you." ”
"No, you kidnapped my little aunt."
As soon as Xiao Shizi Gu Yu's words came out, everyone laughed, except for the iron-masked man.
The prince and the princess entertained Ling Han and Gu Ran in the main hall, and Gu Ran also brought a lot of things back to the door, and secretly asked her maid to give me a small bag, which I didn't have time to open, so I hid it in my sleeve.
During the banquet, Concubine Suixin was very polite to Gu Randao, which made me feel as if Gu Ran was already an outsider, and Gu Ran didn't care; And the arrogant second lady Gu Xiaoxiao was not happy that Gu Ran married her before, but now that Gu Ran is back, she deliberately spoke in a weird manner, and saw that there was nothing to say elsewhere, so she aimed at the iron-masked man.
"Fourth sister, is there no one to serve this Ling Mansion, how did you find someone with such a strange appearance."
Gu Xiaoxiao saw that she couldn't get any benefits from Gu Ran and Ling Han, so she made it difficult for a minion, and the prince and the princess didn't stop them, at that time I didn't know that Gu Xiaoxiao was favored by a big man, so the prince and the princess came by her.
Seeing that no one answered her, she continued: "It's better to let my sister-in-law call two more clever and fourth sisters from the mansion to go to the Ling Mansion, although they are all slaves, they must also be able to take them out." ”
"Don't bother, my entourage was originally going to recommend it to the princess's sister-in-law, although the Ling Mansion is not as big as King Kang's Mansion, but a few slaves can afford it."
Ling Han's words were obviously a little angry, but he was going to recommend it to the princess, did he mean that this iron-masked man was going to stay in the palace?
Gu Ran shook Ling Han's hand before saying, "Ah Qing, go over and salute the princess and princess." ”
It turned out that this iron-masked man's name was Ah Qing, and when he saw this Ah Qing, he bowed in a proper manner, and then retreated to my side, he approached so suddenly, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Gu Yu fell into the water before, I, as a little aunt, am still afraid when I think about it, this Ah Qing originally grew up with Ling Hou Gong, but unfortunately there was a fire two years ago, and a face was ruined, but fortunately, A Qing's martial arts are very good, and it is more than enough to protect my little nephew, this is still what I asked for from Ling Hou Gong."
As soon as the princess heard this, she agreed, and the prince's face was a little bad, after all, he hadn't agreed yet, and the princess also saw that the prince was unhappy, so she had to immediately find a topic: "Gu Ran, who is married, can't Ling Hou Gong Ling Hou Gong Ling Hou Gong in the future, he should be called Dad." ”
It turned out that this Ling Hou Gong was Ling Han's father, that is, Gu Ran's father-in-law.
Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly got up at this time, I watched her walk to me step by step, and thought, this person shouldn't have nothing to do to find trouble with me.
As a result, she suddenly reached out and wanted to lift Ah Qing's iron mask, but Ah Qing grabbed her wrist tightly.
"Presumptuous, even a minion dares to touch his master!"
Obviously, Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to make people ugly, but he turned out to be a rake, and Ah Qing immediately let go of his hand.
"The second lady actually wants to see it, then just say it, you don't have to do it yourself."
Ah Qing's voice was actually somewhat similar to Gu Yanbai's, but it was slightly thick and rough, I turned my head to look, only to see Ah Qing reach out and take off his mask.
Everywhere I looked, there were large patches of grayish-brown twisted bumps, and if I had to describe it, I could only think of the dried snake skin left behind by the fire, which was terrifying and unbearable to look at.
At this time, Gu Yu, the little prince, suddenly burst into tears, shouting monsters and monsters, and this embarrassment made people want to disappear immediately.
The princess immediately asked the nurse to take the little prince down, and I also wanted to go down, but I was just out of my mind, and the nurse had been gone for a while, and it would be deliberate for me to go again.
But Gu Xiaoxiao didn't feel stunned at all, just sneered, and then said, "I'm not disgusting." ”
A good sentence is not disgusting, but it can make everyone present uncomfortable.
"You're not disgusting, but you're disgusting!"
It's been a long time since I've been so bold and reckless, it seems that after Gu Yanbai was paralyzed, I became a coward, as long as it doesn't endanger my life, I can live with one eye open and one eye closed, but at this time, I don't know why, so I said what I thought in my heart.
And Gu Xiaoxiao was about to slap me, but he was also stopped by Ah Qing, because of Ah Qing, Gu Xiaoxiao could only give up, and then a good return banquet was destroyed like this, and I was punished to clean all the night pots in the palace today.
As for this iron-masked man, Ah Qing, he was left behind in this way, and stayed in the princess's garden with me.
