After Gu Mingzhu finished reading the edict, he handed over the bright yellow edict in his hand to the female official who followed him, and handed it over to the Zheng family, and saw Zheng Yuan lying on the ground upright, facing the edict of marriage, his face was full of meekness and kindness, and he didn't even change his eyes in the slightest, and he couldn't see the expression of looking at Cui Lin and Cui Wei in Cui Mansion the day before.

When the maidservant helped her get up, she thanked Gu Mingzhu with bright eyes: "There is Lord Lao." ”

Only then did he look at Mrs. Cui, and her tone was very weak, as if she had to bow her head with infinite grievances: "Mrs. Cui, thank you for your care all these times, I have always remembered you." ”

Mrs. Cui looked at her, but frowned: "In a few days, it will be a personal welcome, can the house be ordered?" If there is any inconvenience, someone handed over the news, the second room attaches great importance to this marriage, and they are busy handling it all these days, so they will definitely not wronged you. ”

didn't mention the past, and didn't answer Zheng Yuan's words, which disappointed Zheng Yuan.

On the way back to Cui's house, Mrs. Cui's face has not been very good-looking, Gu Mingzhu only thought that she was watching Zheng Yuan marry into the second room, and she felt uncomfortable, so she didn't speak.

It's just that when she was about to arrive at the Cui Mansion, Mrs. Cui sighed in a low voice: "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for her to marry into the Cui family, Gorou has done this recklessly." ”

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then she understood, what she said was Zheng Yuan's marriage into the Cui family, but what does this have to do with Cui Lin? Could it be that this marriage is Cui Lin......

Before she could think about it, the carriage had slowly stopped, and Cuihuan, Mrs. Cui's personal maid, stepped forward and curtled and said, "Madam, county lord, the old lady has arrived in the mansion." ”

Gu Mingzhu's heart jumped, only to see a team of carriages neatly parked outside the curtain raised by the maidservants, and the servants were busy carrying the cages, a big battle.

Mrs. Cui frowned: "It's not that you will come back tomorrow, why did you come today." ”

She got up and helped Cuihuan's men get out of the carriage, and said, "Who came with the old lady?" ”

Gu Mingzhu also followed her out of the carriage.

Cuihuan carefully supported the eldest lady and said softly: "Aunt Zhao came with her, and those old ladies will only arrive tomorrow." ”

Old Madam Cui actually came alone, and she didn't even want to wait to come with those old ladies, Mrs. Cui's heart suddenly lifted, glanced at Gu Mingzhu, and walked towards the mansion with a slightly gloomy face.

In the inner hall of the main courtyard, Second Mrs. Cui smiled and personally brought tea to Mrs. Cui: "...... I always wanted to invite the old lady back to the house, and I was afraid that there would be many things in the clan, so I had to send someone to send it over, that was Erlang brought back from Yangzhou Qionghua, more than 100 plants only survived more than 10 plants, Erlang remembered that the old lady liked it, so he let people send it over, and I don't know if the old lady likes it or not. ”

Old Madam Cui has white temples, but she is still radiant, those eyes are somewhat similar to Cui Lin at first glance, there is a faint dark light flowing, but she has a loving smile on her face, and nodded to the second lady: "Why don't you see Erlang?" ”

When Second Mrs. Cui heard the question, Cui Erlang hurriedly said happily: "He went to the ancestral hall today to help with the dots, San Lang got married and wanted to visit the ancestral hall, and he took care of it for San Lang." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Cui took the tea soup, she said again: "It's Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots." ”

Old Madam Cui nodded, took a sip of tea soup, and then said, "Okay, good, San Lang is also going to get married, it's a good thing." You've worked hard these days, so let your sister-in-law and Saburo's daughter-in-law help you with something. ”

I didn't mention that this was a major event of marriage with the Zheng family, which made Second Mrs. Cui very disappointed, but she was not in a hurry, since even Mrs. Zheng had married, it would naturally be better in the future.

She agreed sharply, and said with a smile: "I saw that Lingling County Lord came to Boling, and my sister-in-law had to bother to greet her, I was afraid that she would have no time to doppelgänger, so I didn't dare to disturb." ”

Old Madam Cui's gentle and loving face did not change at all, and said: "That's a distinguished guest, naturally I want to treat it well, but I won't be unable to help." ”

Second Mrs. Cui nodded with a smile, looked at the third lady who came in, and then said with a smile: "If you want to say that the county lord is really born with a beautiful appearance, I only heard that the lady of the Zheng family was born well, but when I saw the county lord, I knew that it was the appearance of Peugeot, no wonder it was said that the eldest princess of Xuanyang was born to the country and the city, and even Fanbang heard of her good name." ”

Mrs. Cui's eyes tightened, and the tea pot in her hand also stopped, put it aside, and then smiled and said to the third lady: "What about your sister-in-law, you are all here, why don't you see her?" ”

The second lady hurriedly answered: "She accompanied the county lord to the Zheng Mansion to issue an edict, the county lord is not familiar with the place, and the sister-in-law is a little worried." ”

Old Madam Cui raised her eyebrows: "She is warm-hearted." ”

The second lady pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister-in-law has a cold face and a warm heart, and she didn't ask much about Gorou Qilang before, but didn't she go to Chang'an quietly last time, and I remember it." ”

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Cui had already brought her maidservant girl in: "The second brother and sister know me." ”

The voice is steady, not in a hurry.

After that, he came forward to greet the old lady, and his face was calm: "The old lady came back today, and I didn't let anyone send the news back, I asked someone to prepare a carriage to pick it up tomorrow." ”

Old Mrs. Cui looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, sighed in her heart, and said, "It's not a big deal, I heard that Gorou is also back, and I want to come back earlier to ask about the situation in Chang'an." ”

Mrs. Cui nodded: "I asked someone to summon Gorou and Shichiro over." ”

She looked out of the curtain: "The county lord has also returned home." ”

Old Madam Cui bowed slightly, and smiled kindly: "Please come in, how can you let the distinguished guests wait outside, it's rude." ”

Gu Mingzhu entered the inner hall and saw Mrs. Cui sitting in the middle at a glance, she made up her mind and stepped forward to salute.

Old Madam Cui looked at her with a smile, gentle and loving, just like a grandmother, and nodded again and again: "Please get up, the county lord has worked hard, and he has come all the way from Chang'an, and I hope to forgive me for not greeting her." ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't dare to say it, and sat down on the couch on the side.

Mrs. Cui looked at her twice, and then smiled and talked to her about family life, asked about the situation in Chang'an, and talked with a smile about the matter of entering the palace to ask Queen Zhaowen for peace, and even the second and third ladies of Cui listened to it.

Gu Mingzhu has been tightening her heartstrings, she knows that the old lady Cui in front of her is the real head of the Cui family, if she can't accept herself, it will be impossible for her and Cui Lin, but at the moment, even she can't see the old lady Cui's thoughts, which makes her heart hang even more, and she is a little overwhelmed.

It's just that she heard one thing, Mrs. Cui didn't say a word about the incident at the water pavilion banquet the day before, she is the head of the Cui family, and it is impossible not to know about this matter if there is such a big disturbance, but she didn't say a word, and she didn't even ask, it seems that she intended to help the second room cover up the past.

Gu Mingzhu's heart felt cold.
