The Cui family in Boling is a huge family, with supreme authority and power in Boling, the Cui family's home is in Anping, Boling, and the mansion of the Cui family's house is in Boling City.

The tall and simple mansion is full of bookish and romantic meaning, the servants are like clouds but there is no noisy meaning, and they are all stable and natural postures when walking, which makes people dare not underestimate them.

The carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate, and the people from the Cui Mansion who got the news had already opened the mansion door and greeted them.

Gu Mingzhu got out of the carriage, looked up at the magnificent archway, and followed Mrs. Cui, who got out of the carriage, towards Cui's mansion.

Cui Lin also dismounted and walked over to them.

There were a lot of people in Cui's mansion who came out, and the first one was a noble lady wearing a heavy lotus silk skirt and a white jade flower tree on her head greeted her with a smile, and bent her knees to greet Mrs. Cui: "Sister-in-law is back, we have been looking forward to the news for several days." ”

This one has a somewhat gorgeous appearance, with that just right smile, and his face is very shrewd, not a good one to get close to.

The lady behind her looked much kinder by then, and her honest smile was even more impressive, and she smiled and said to Mrs. Cui: "Sister-in-law has worked hard all the way, come into the house and rest for a while." ”

It's just that their eyes couldn't help but look at Gu Mingzhu on the side, surprised by her beautiful appearance, and they also knew who this was in front of them, so they couldn't hide their curiosity.

Mrs. Cui took half a step forward, as if talking to the two ladies affectionately: "When I am not in the house, there are two brothers and sisters to take care of the affairs of the house. ”

After blocking the scrutinizing gaze of the two, he pulled Gu Mingzhu over: "This one is the lord of Lingling, the marriage envoy ordered by the Queen Mother, and brought the marriage edict to Wei Lang and Zheng Yuanniang." ”

These news had already been sent to Boling, and the two of them were naturally not surprised, and greeted Gu Mingzhu with a smile: "The county lord is fine." ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't dare to take it, after all, the status of the family was unusual, she also returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Second lady, third lady is fine." ”

Second Mrs. Cui was already smiling at this time, and she came up and pulled Gu Mingzhu to praise her: "I have long heard that the county lord has outstanding appearance, but now it seems that I am afraid that I can't say enough, the county lord is so Zhilan Yushu, it is really admirable." ”

Gu Mingzhu was a little embarrassed, and thanked him softly, his face flushed slightly.

But I don't know why this second lady Cui is so enthusiastic about herself.

It was still Mrs. Cui San who was polite and moderate, and said to Gu Mingzhu with a chuckle: "Boling is far away from Chang'an Road, and the county lord has worked hard." ”

Mrs. Cui glanced at Second Mrs. Cui holding Gu Mingzhu's hand, her expression was flat, and she said to Gu Mingzhu: "Let's go, go into the mansion and sit down and talk, and I'll let someone settle down for you." ”

Second Mrs. Cui hurriedly picked up the words and said: "After receiving the news, I asked people to clean up the yard and come out, the county lord just rest assured to stay, if there is anything dissatisfied, just give an order, and I will let people arrange it properly." ”

Gu Mingzhu thanked him, and the doubts in his heart deepened, speaking of which, if the Cui family knew Cui Lin's thoughts about him, he should have no kindness to her, and even resisted her, why is this second lady Cui so enthusiastic, is it just because she is giving marriage to Cui Wei in the second room?

She followed the people from Cui's Mansion into the mansion with full doubts, Cui Lin was inconvenient to go in with them because she was Langjun, but she glanced at Gu Mingzhu before leaving, and her eyes were full of calm gentleness, which made her feel at ease.

After entering the Cui Mansion, Mrs. Cui took her and the two ladies of the Cui family to sit, and then excused herself for being tired of the car, and the two took their leave.

She left Gu Mingzhu: "County Lord, the Cui family is not small, but the first line of the Changfang stayed in Boling, and now the first line of the Changfang has three rooms, and the two you saw just now are the second lady and the third lady, Wulang's grandmother and the elders in the clan, and the people in the other rooms are all in the Anping clan, and they will come over on the day of the marriage of the Cui Zheng family." ”

Gu Mingzhu was a little stunned, and didn't know why Mrs. Cui would tell her this, so she had to bow her head and respond: "Yes." ”

Mrs. Cui looked at her, but her tone was much kinder: "You go and rest first, tomorrow Mrs. Zheng will be sent to Boling, and I will take you to see her." ”

Xingyang left Boling Taiyuan, and the Zheng family also bought a mansion in Boling, and every time the Zheng family's wife married the Cui family, she was greeted in the mansion there.

Gu Mingzhu responded, then said goodbye to Mrs. Cui, and followed the maidservant to her own courtyard to rest.

It's just that as soon as they entered the door, Gu Mingzhu and Abi Xiaokui were taken aback, the layout of the main house in this courtyard was exactly the same as Gu Mingzhu's layout in the main hall of the county lord's mansion, they were all furnishings she liked, and even the objects were not biased in their positions.

Gu Mingzhu was speechless for a while, but she knew very well in her heart that this was arranged by Cui Lin, and the second lady Cui would not know about the decorations of the county lord's mansion, but only Cui Lin.

He thinks about Gu Mingzhu in everything.

I have to say that the Cui family is worthy of being a century-old family, and the maidservants who have been trained are not ordinary, after Gu Mingzhu lived in the Jade Courtyard, he only brought a few personal maidservants, and the others were all descendants of the Cui family.

It's just that they behaved politely and calmly, without the slightest impetuousness, and there was no spiding on Gu Mingzhu's room.

Gu Mingzhu's first night in Cui's Mansion was so calm and peaceful, no one disturbed her, she seemed to have returned to the County Lord's Mansion again, flipped through the book to look at the moonlight outside the window, and even thought about it with interest, feeling that the moonlight in Boling was no different from Chang'an.

Early the next morning, Gu Mingzhu had breakfast in her courtyard, and Mrs. Cui sent someone to invite her.

"Mrs. Zheng has arrived in the Zheng Mansion in Boling, let's go over and meet, after all, you are the marriage envoy, you should meet her." Mrs. Cui and Gu Mingzhu said as they walked, "Mrs. Zheng sent a message before, saying that she has always been good friends with you, and I heard that you came to give marriage, so I must see you." ”

Gu Mingzhu sneered secretly, she and Zheng Yuan are indeed old acquaintances, but they are really not good friends, she is now married to Cui Sanlang Cui Wei, I am afraid that she will hate herself even more, this so-called seeing at first sight is afraid that it also has another meaning.

She didn't care, and said lightly: "It's time to go and see it." ”

Mrs. Cui was a little surprised when she saw that her expression was not moving, Zheng Yuan was not so calm and calm when she mentioned that Gu Mingzhu came, and she couldn't hide her resentment, seeing Gu Mingzhu now, people couldn't help but doubt Zheng Yuan's statement.

She nodded: "Let's go, I'll go with you, and I'll talk to her if I have anything to say." ”

The Zheng Mansion in Boling was not inferior to that of Chang'an, and at this time, because Zheng Yuan's marriage had been hung with the big red happy word, Mrs. Cui took Gu Mingzhu into the inner hall and sat down, waiting for Zheng Yuan to come.

It's just that when he saw Zheng Yuan, Gu Ming couldn't help but be taken aback, Zheng Yuan's appearance can be regarded as a dignified and noble beauty, and many Langjun were looked at in Chang'an that day, and the ladies were very envious, but Zheng Yuan in front of him had completely lost his complexion, but his still soft face was gloomy, and there was no light in his eyes, only the darkness that had been extinguished, she seemed to be wearing thick makeup to cover her haggardness, but it made people feel like beautiful jade and dust, and felt sorry.

She entered the hall and respectfully saluted Mrs. Cui, but the moment she looked at Gu Mingzhu, sparks appeared in her eyes, and they burned.

Gu Mingzhu didn't move at all, looked at her with a little smile, and bowed her head with her: "Lady Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”

Zheng Yuan couldn't help but bow on his knees: "County Lord." ”

Mrs. Cui looked at Zheng Yuan's face that was slightly distorted because of jealousy, and her heart sank even more, and she said: "Yuan Niang, the Queen Mother heard that Cui Zheng and the two families were married, and specially asked the county lord of Lingling to come to Boling with a marriage edict, which is also the face of our two families. ”

Zheng Yuan slowly put away her emotions, regained a gentle smile on her face, and said softly: "Yes, thank you Lord County." ”

She whispered her greetings to Mrs. Cui and Gu Mingzhu's itinerary along the way, and said a few words of concern to Mrs. Cui, looking kind and gentle.

Mrs. Cui coped with a few words, I don't know why, she looked at Zheng Yuan's face with an excellent education and a good smile at this time, but she didn't have the slightest good feeling, she remembered what Cui Ning said when she went back to the Anping clan before, and her heart was full of disgust.

She didn't expect that Zheng Yuan and the Cui family have always been close, and she grew up, and she was carefully raised by the Zheng family for so many years, how could she have such a mind, in order to be able to get close to Wulang, she did not hesitate to use the young and ignorant Cui Ning, and even took advantage of her trust in Zheng Yuan, and almost let Cui Ning be destroyed in her hands.

Fortunately, Cui Lin found out early, and Cui Ning can still be educated well, otherwise, it will really hurt Cui Ning for the rest of his life.

When she thought of this, she didn't have the heart to talk to Zheng Yuan anymore, so she took Gu Mingzhu out of Zheng Mansion and went back to Cui Mansion.

On the way back, she never spoke, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but look at her, seeing that her face was not worried, I don't know why, I just thought that Zheng Yuan was uncomfortable, and she thought about the unfinished marriage between Cui Lin and Zheng Yuan, she didn't say anything, so she walked all the way.

It's just that as soon as she arrived at Cui's mansion, the second lady Cui was already blowing like a spring breeze, and she pulled Gu Mingzhu to the side and sat down with a smile: "It's a coincidence that the county lord came, tomorrow is the birthday of the twelve mothers in the mansion, and I didn't plan to do it big, but the county lord came, and caught up with San Lang's marriage, which is a rare happy event, so I will publicize it once, let people prepare a banquet, and invite the young Langjun in the mansion to be lively with the ladies." ”

She smiled and raised her eyebrows, and then turned her head to Mrs. Cui and said, "Sister-in-law, A-Ning will also go back to the house tomorrow, just to be lively together." ”

There was no joy on Mrs. Cui's face, and she even hesitated a little, and only nodded slightly after a while: "Yes, A-Ning will return home tomorrow to participate in San Lang's wedding banquet." ”

Second Mrs. Cui smiled again and again: "Then it's no better, it's rare that people are so together, and there is a county lord here, you must have a good time, I will organize this banquet, and I will make these little ones happy." ”

She turned around and pulled Mrs. Cui again: "Sister-in-law, let's go to my place tomorrow to sit down and have a meal, these young people don't like us, and are afraid of being detained, so let's just throw away our hands and let them play by themselves." ”

Mrs. Cui couldn't help but tighten her heart, and looked at Gu Mingzhu, but saw that the young lady's face was still steady, and she didn't change in the slightest, and she didn't hear about this look of joy and expectation, so she put it down a little, but she still said in a low voice: "The county lord is a guest from afar, this, I'm afraid it's not suitable." ”

Second Mrs. Cui sneered: "Sister-in-law is used to worrying, we have all heard of the character of the county lord, that is, those few in our house are more solid, but they are also well educated, what else can happen, it's just talking, let's let go of our hearts and relax ourselves." ”

As she spoke, she waved away the maidservant girl beside Mrs. Cui, personally helped the eldest lady, and pulled Gu Mingzhu: "Speaking of which, I only got a few Chunluo there, the patterns and colors are excellent, there are ginger flowers that my sister-in-law likes, and there are also flowers and willow green suitable for a young lady like the county lord. ”

In this way, like a gust of wind, Mrs. Cui and Gu Mingzhu were taken to their own courtyard.
