The flower banquet of the general's mansion this time was well placed, the door of the mansion was opened early in the morning, and two pots of marigolds were also placed in front of the tall stone lions, and the servants were neatly dressed and stood in front of the door, waiting to welcome the guests.

Gu Mingzhu walked over with Abi's hand, everyone had already bowed respectfully, and Liu's personal maid A Qiu personally led Gu Mingzhu into the mansion: "The county lord has not been back for a long time, and this morning Aunt Ping ordered the maid to wait outside the door and invited the county lord to enter the mansion." ”

Aunt Ping!

Gu Mingzhu was a little surprised when she heard this, could it be that the Liu family had already helped her aunt, no wonder she was dressed differently than before the day before, and she was not as shabby and cautious as before, but she was much more extravagant.

But Gu Qing should have been training in the Xishan camp all these days, and he has never returned to his home, so how could he help his aunt?

She didn't ask, just followed Ah Qiu into the mansion in silence.

When I arrived in the inner hall, I saw the brightly dressed and radiant Liu family busily instructing the maid Zhang Luohua banquet, seeing Gu Mingzhu come in, Liu's face was full of brilliance, and he came forward to salute with a smile: "The county lord is here, please come into the hall quickly, sit down and talk." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled shallowly, politely and unfamiliarly: "Aunt Ping is very polite." ”

However, in such a short period of time, it is not easy for the Liu family to win the trust of the old lady, to snatch the power of the family from the second lady, and to help the aunt to preside over the flower banquet so openly.

Hearing her call her Aunt Ping, Liu pursed her lips and lowered her head with a smile: "The old lady is not in good health, and the second lady is also sick these days, so this flower banquet ordered the concubine to help with it." ”

A sneer flashed at the corner of Gu Mingzhu's mouth, he was quite self-aware, and he knew that he had to find a way to cover it up, otherwise he would let the ladies of the noble mansion see it, and I was afraid that there would be another joke, and the dignified general's mansion was actually handed over to a concubine Zhang Luo to arrange a banquet, I am afraid that only a person from the background of Old Madam Gu can do such a thing.

She wasn't interested in knowing how the Liu family curryed favor with the old lady to be so beautiful, and the private affairs in the mansion here had nothing to do with her, but she just wanted to know what was going on with Gu Mingyu.

As she walked towards the inner hall, she asked, "Why don't you see Mingyu and them?" ”

Liu's smile was even bigger, and he hurriedly said: "Mingli knew that the county lord was coming early in the morning, so she waited in the courtyard, saying that she wanted to ask the county lord for peace and talk well." ”

Turning his head and ordering: "Go and invite the fourth lady to come." ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't raise his eyebrows: "What about Mingyu?" ”

Liu Shi blinked: "The third lady has been studying and practicing in the courtyard these days, and her heart has changed a lot, and today the old lady specially ordered, she must be asked to come over to be lively, and the concubine will let people invite." ”

After a while, Gu Mingyu and Gu Mingli entered the inner hall with their front and back feet, and came forward to salute Gu Mingzhu.

When Gu Mingzhu raised his eyes to look at them, he was secretly taken aback.

Gu Mingli was dressed in a hibiscus big-sleeved shirt and a bouquet of autumn fragrance and flowers, but she didn't see any luxurious dress, but the scar on her face was covered by thick powder, and she didn't look as conspicuous as before.

But Gu Mingyu is very different from before, she lowered her head and looked wooden, she couldn't see any mood, but her dress was extraordinarily bright, goose yellow and silver silk soft satin with large sleeves, carmine and silver-edged large peony skirt, a complete set of pigeon blood red head on her head, and a flower in front of her forehead, which was obviously deliberately dressed up, but it looked a little weird on Gu Mingyu, who looked wooden and haggard.

Gu Mingzhu noticed that Gu Mingli's ordinary dress was made of fine snow satin soft smoke, and Gu Mingyu's dress was new and bright, and her waist was a little wide, so she had to tie it tighter with silver and red satin, it seemed that this dress was newly made, and she was let wear it before she had time to change it to fit.

What exactly is Ryu going to do? What exactly is she doing this for?

Gu Mingli stepped forward with a smile at this time, sat down on Gu Mingzhu's couch, and said softly: "I heard that the county lord returned to the house yesterday and was rewarded by the queen of heaven, which is really an honor." ”

Gu Mingzhu glanced at her, but bowed slightly: "The fourth lady's face is good, and Aunt Ping is afraid that it took a lot of effort." ”

Gu Mingli was most afraid of hearing people talk about her face, and when she heard her say, she couldn't help but shrink her neck, and subconsciously lowered her head, lest she teach people to see the scary scar at a glance, and the smile on her face was uncomfortable: "It's better." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at her appearance, sneered, ignored her, turned his head and asked Gu Mingyu: "Mingyu is okay these days?" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't take his eyes off Gu Mingyu, thinking that now that the Liu family is in power, the Luo family is already unable to protect itself, and I am afraid that Gu Mingyu's life in this mansion will not be easy.

I saw Gu Mingyu slowly raise his eyes and look at Gu Mingzhu for a while before he spoke: "If you go back to the county lord, it's all fine." ”

It's just that tears flashed in her eyes, and she quickly lowered her eyebrows, as if she was afraid of being seen, hiding her feelings.

Gu Mingzhu frowned slightly, it seems that there is really something, but Gu Mingyu is not easy to say, it can't be related to Old Madam Gu and the Liu family.

She thought for a moment, then changed the topic again, and asked Gu Mingli with a smile: "Why don't you see the second lady?" I just heard Aunt Ping say that she is not well, and I should go over to visit. ”

Gu Mingli was twisting her face, worried that after a while, the ladies and ladies would come and see what they would say, although they had already become fans, the maidservants also said that they couldn't see anything, but she just felt something, and felt that she would be seen in the next moment.

Hearing Gu Mingzhu ask Mao, she didn't have any feelings, but just whispered: "I only heard that the second uncle and the second aunt had a quarrel some time ago, and the second aunt fell ill, and I don't know what the problem is." ”

When Gu Mingzhu heard this, he sighed: "There is such a thing, it's just that the second aunt has always been healthy, how could she have been sick for so long, it's just that there is nothing wrong with this time, I went to see her, it can be regarded as a heart." ”

She looked back at Gu Mingyu: "Lady Ping still has to take care of the affairs of the house, the fourth lady stays here to help one or two, or the third lady accompanies me, there is someone to talk to." ”

Gu Mingli was originally reluctant to talk to Gu Mingzhu, it was Liu's repeated advice, she came reluctantly, and Gu Mingzhu mentioned the injury on her face, and the new hatred and old hatred came to her heart, it was rare to hear that Gu Mingzhu didn't need her to accompany her, so she was naturally very willing, and hurried to ask the maid to make up her face again.

Gu Ming Yumumu's face had a hint of expression, he looked up at Gu Mingzhu, and got up: "I'll accompany the county lord over." ”
