Watching the Gu family's carriage drive out of the market, the people in the wine shop also turned around and returned to the couch, stretched out their hands to take the wine cup offered by the maidservant and drank it all, before laughing: "How, what I said is right, this little lady is a powerful one!" ”

"She has the guts, knowing that the Guo family hates her and wants to calculate her, but she still dares to come." He stroked his palms and smiled: "You can see it just now, she came out safe and sound." ”

Dressed in a stone blue plain gauze with large sleeves and wide robes, the hosta on his head is tied crookedly, and his face is full of presumptuous smiles, it is Cui Yi.

The gentle and thin young Lang Jun sitting on the couch next to him chuckled lightly when he heard this: "Qilang is afraid that he has underestimated this little lady." ”

It is Chen Liuwang Li Nian.

He slowly picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a small bite, frowned, and quickly relaxed: "The plan of the second lady of the Guo family that day has been arranged for a long time, and it is very careful and ruthless, but this lady Gu not only did not join the army, but also rebelled against the army. ”

"Now the lady of the Guo family is already on her way to the East Palace." The gentle smile on his face didn't change, and he reached out and nodded to the east.

The smile on Cui Qilang's handsome face slowly faded: "You are right, this Gu lady is not simple. ”

He pondered: "Can you guess the intention of Qu Jiangyan, didn't Gu Qing tell her?" ”

They only heard the news of the death of the eldest lady of the Duke of Xu's Mansion after the banquet, but Gu Mingzhu seemed to have known about it for a long time, and she even covered up her appearance at the banquet.

Li Nian shook his head: "Gu Qing is still in the northwest, and he has not returned to Chang'an yet. What's more, Mrs. Gu didn't seem to know that day. ”

Cui Qilang's face was rarely serious, and he frowned: "If it weren't for Gu Qing's intentions, it would be a trouble." ”

Gu Qing has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he is also an auxiliary minister left by the first emperor, and it is when he is in the prime of life, he plays a pivotal role in the court, which is not comparable to Guo Taishi, who is already in the waning mountains.

There was silence in the private room, and even Li Nian, who had always smiled modestly, couldn't help frowning.

Cui Qilang shook his head and looked at the other couch with a rough voice: "Fifth brother, what do you think it will be?" ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't know that someone was talking about her behind her back, she was in a rare good mood sitting in the carriage, twisted a honey-stained plum and put it in her mouth, and followed the carriage to staggering through the street.

The weather in March is like a child's face, and when I get up early to go to Taishifu, it is still a bright spring day, but there is a drizzle in the sky, and it softly enters the curtain with the east wind.

When she arrived at the gate of Dongfu, Mama Han had already raised an umbrella and waited at the door with a maidservant holding a cloak.

Seeing that Ah Bi and Xiao Kui helped Gu Mingzhu get out of the car, she hurriedly greeted her, and while covering Gu Mingzhu with an umbrella, she called the little maid to put on a cloak for Gu Mingzhu and changed her clogs.

"The lady can be regarded as coming back safely, and the maid is really relieved......" Mama Han said with joy.

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "What's the matter in the house?" ”

Mama Han held an umbrella for her and carefully helped her to the house: "It's nothing, it's just that the third daughter-in-law of Zhu brought the news, saying that the Xifu sent someone to Zhuangzi to ask about those people." ”

A shallow smile appeared on the corner of Gu Mingzhu's mouth: "She was cautious and sent people over so quickly." ”

Mama Han was a little worried: "If you really ask what ......?"

Gu Mingzhu shook his head: "No, over the years, there have been a lot of people in Zhuangzi, and few of them know their details, even those old people only know that they were married out of the palace by A-Niang back then." ”

She had been a virtuous princess for several years, and only then did she know that there was such a group of people among the people whose mother married out of the palace, and it was only with the secret guard that she found out in detail, how could such a secret be easily found out by Luo.

After returning to the wing room, Gu Mingzhu took off her clogs, sat on the couch with her bare feet and stepped on the soft Persian carpet, and called Abi: "You go and bring the roster in the house." ”

Xiao Kui took a silk cotton towel and carefully dried the water droplets from her hair, and watched her open the roster.

"It seems that there are a lot of people sent over there." Gu Mingzhu looked at the names of the people who were densely painted on the roster.

Mama Han called the maid to change her clothes for Gu Mingzhu, and said: "Most of them were sent by Xifu, and today Mama Liu and Mama Lin have come to tell the maid that if they send everyone back to Xifu, I am afraid that there will be few people left in this courtyard." ”

Mama Liu and Mama Lin are also the grandmothers in charge of the house, and they are in charge of the house's handymen and kitchen warehouses respectively.

Gu Mingzhu held the roster, sat cross-legged on the couch with her hair scattered, and said with a smile: "Who said that I would send them all back, if I sent them back, there would be more than half a person in this mansion, and I didn't have the money to buy people to serve in the mansion." ”

Her slender and white hand stroked the roster, named more than a dozen names on it, and said to Mama Han: "Mama Lao went to invite Mama Liu and Mama Lin to come over, and called these people to the courtyard, I have something to command." ”

Mama Han didn't understand a little, but she still retreated.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the roster and slowly sneered, the dozen or so people she ordered were all Luo's henchmen or people who came to marry, and they were sent to the East Mansion by Luo.

Over the years, they have been in the East Mansion while inquiring for the news for the Luo family, while quietly deducting and looting the property in the East Mansion, taking advantage of the good opportunity of no one in the East Mansion to take care of the affairs of the Luo family, all of them are greedy for ink and have a lot of money.

With such brains and fat stomachs like this, it's time to do it.

Gu Mingzhu closed the roster with a smile and asked Xiaokui to bring him a bowl of fragrant herbs to drink.

The dozen or so people soon came, and they all stood in Gu Mingzhu's courtyard, with their heads bowed and their faces frightened.

They don't know why they were called by the eldest lady, but they know that it must not be a good thing.

A few days ago, the eldest lady asked people to take a few first-class and second-class maidservants sent by Xifu for no reason and send them back to Xifu, saying that they stole the things given by the emperor, and finally those few were beaten to a bloody point and sold to the mansion.

Two days later, a few more were sent over, and those few were finally sent out of the house in the end, and I don't know where they were sold.

Now is it their turn?

As soon as they thought of this, these servants couldn't help but weaken their legs, cold sweat broke out one after another, and their eyes in the room became more and more afraid.

Now in their eyes, Mrs. Gu taught them to be afraid more than Mrs. Gu.

After all, Madame still takes care of her reputation as virtuous and amiable, but the eldest lady doesn't care about anything, who calls her already notoriously unreasonable.
