Chapter Ninety-Nine: Gold Falls from the Sky (Part 2)
There was a burst of crying in the funeral shed of Anningbo's mansion, and several ladies who had been friends in the past bowed down with incense, and handed it to the maidservant to serve in the incense burner.
"Thank you for coming, please go to the flower hall and sit and talk." Mrs. An Ningbo politely invited a few ladies to sit down in the flower hall, and these were all ladies with heads and faces in Chang'an's mansion.
But those few people were perfunctory, but their eyes were looking around, and with a smile on their faces, they said to Mrs. An Ningbo: "For such a big matter, why don't you see other relatives to help, only a few ladies are affected?" ”
Mrs. An Ningbo's face stiffened, a little embarrassed, she could hear that these people were coming for Gu Qing and Luo.
Since the Anning Bo Mansion set up a mourning shed and reported the funeral to the various mansions, there are only a few people who come to offer incense and condolences, and they are not the housewives.
It wasn't until Gu Qing came to offer incense the day before that the house suddenly became lively, and the Lang monarchs and mothers in the noble mansions all brought people to offer incense, so they had a little bit of a funeral.
Her smile was a little stiff: "The general is busy with business, so naturally he can't come to help from time to time, and the eldest lady is ......."
Luo Shi is a lady who married out of this house, and if such a thing happened, he should also come to his mother's house to help him, but Luo Shi came over that day and went back with a stick of incense, and never came again, and he didn't even ask people to come and ask.
The faces of those ladies were a little different, and they smiled and exchanged a few words with Mrs. An Ningbo, and then took someone to say goodbye and went back to the house.
Mrs. An Ning Bo watched them walk away, flicked her sleeves angrily, turned around and sat down on the side of the couch: "This is obviously for the Gu family, where is it to give incense to the old lady, just to climb up to the Gu family in the name of incense!" ”
The third lady was happy to see her eat deflated, smiled and sat down on the couch, twisted the honey cake on the side to eat: "That's natural, what is the identity of the Gu family, what is our identity now, seeing that the second brother's errand will not be saved, he will go back to his hometown to guard the system, where is there anyone who is willing to come to the door." ”
She glanced at Mrs. Luo, who was sitting with her neck bent, "But it's also true, Yin Niang will never come back to this mansion this time, so she won't come back." ”
Mrs. Luo was a little uneasy, but she still didn't speak, she was now full of heart not to offend the second room, so as not to let people drive her and Luo Kun out of the house, so she didn't care about saying a few words for her daughter, and she didn't care at all whether such gossip would make Luo leave a reputation of unfilial piety.
In the main hall of the side courtyard, Luo Ziye was also sitting on the couch with a frown, drinking wine cup after glass, and even the concubine An Shi, who was favored on weekdays, was tired of it, and sighed again and again.
Steward Liu on the side persuaded in a low voice: "Uncle, there is always a solution to everything, don't worry so much, I didn't get the news yesterday, I saw that it was the Duanyang Festival, and there was a shortage of spices in the palace, and I couldn't think of a way for Vice Envoy Wu to come to it for a while, if we can ...... it."
Luo Ziye waved his hand in annoyance and interrupted him: "So what? This spice has to be in such a hurry, he can't do it, what can I do, the spices of the Western Regions have always relied on the tribute of Tianzhu Persian countries, where can I get it now! ”
Steward Liu rolled his eyes: "I heard that a new spice shop has opened in the East Market, and there happens to be a batch of spices from the Western Regions for sale, saying that it is the best rose fragrance, which is suitable for use." ”
The cup in Luo Ziye's hand stopped, and he looked up at Steward Liu: "You said that there are spices in the Western Regions in the East City?" ”
Steward Liu nodded again and again: "The little one just heard about it, so he hurried back and forth to Uncle Yu." ”
He got a hundred yuan, just to let him tell Luo Ziye the news, like this, he can not only get money but also get Luo Ziye's praise and high esteem, how can he refuse.
Luo Ziye was overjoyed, lost the wine cup and got up: "Go, follow me to Dongshi!" ”
He couldn't wait for a moment, he had to hurry to buy those spices from the Western Regions, as long as he could send these spices to the palace before Vice Envoy Wu, he would be able to keep his errand, and he would be exempted from the system if he was appreciated by the nobles.
He pinned his hopes on Luo Shi before, counting on Gu Qing to help him intercede, and asked for the grace of the palace to let him win his favor so that he could keep this errand, but now he has waited and waited but there is no news, it seems that the Gu family is unreliable, only he has his own ideas.
He tore off the coarse linen mourning clothes on his body, strode out with a meteor, and ordered people to prepare their horses and not delay him.
He just went out of the house, and when he met Luo, who was helping the maid and hurriedly got out of the carriage, his face suddenly turned cold, he didn't even pay attention to it, he snorted coldly and turned over on the horse, and whipped away.
Luo Shi originally looked happy, but he was stunned, and inexplicably looked at Luo Ziye, who was riding away, and took his face for a long time to take the maid into the Bofu.
When I entered the mansion, I saw Mrs. An Ning Bo and Mrs. Luo who greeted her, and Luo's face was a little ugly: "Where is the second uncle, he is so in a hurry, he left without even saying a word when he saw me." ”
Mrs. An Ningbo naturally knew that Luo Ziye blamed Gu Qing for refusing to help him intercede, but her face couldn't show it at all, and she said with a smile: "He has something important to do and rushes out of the house, I'm afraid I didn't see Yin Niang." Let's go, let's go in and talk, there is a honey cake in the kitchen, and I will serve it to Yin Niang to taste. ”
It took a long time for Luo to calm down, and he pulled the corners of his mouth with a half-drooping face and said, "I'm here to say hello to my second aunt, and I have a letter about what you entrusted me with." ”
Mrs. An Ningbo was stunned, came back to her senses and was overjoyed, and pulled Luo Che: "But really? Which lady is it? How old are you and how much are you willing to marry? ”
Luo Zhi was almost dragged by her, and hurriedly said: "Be quiet, this is just to come back to inform you, why did you ask about the marriage before you exchanged Geng posts." ”
Mrs. An Ningbo nodded again and again, with a smile on her face: "It's me who is confused, it's easy to hear that there is a letter, I'm overjoyed, I'm not in a hurry to say this, but I don't know which lady it is, I can go and see each other before I can rest assured." ”
Luo Shi sneered in his heart, in the case of An Ningbofu, with Luo Mao's character, he is still not at ease with others, and it is already good not to scare people away.
A contemptuous smile rolled on her face before she whispered in Mrs. An Ningbo's ear: "As for the eldest lady in my house, what do you think?" ”
The eldest lady of the Gu family? The daughter of the eldest princess of Xuanyang? Mrs. An Ningbo's eyes widened like copper bells, and she couldn't close her mouth for a long time, can such a family character fall into their mansion? Willing to marry her family Shigero as a daughter-in-law?
This, this, isn't this a good thing that gold fell from the sky and fell on their heads? Can this be true?
