Chapter 24: Greed
"This little lady is really amazing!"
Looking at Gu Mingzhu, who left with the maidservant, and the mother and daughter of the Guo family, who couldn't pounce on them viciously, Cui Yi put down the wine cup in his hand, and said with a smile to Li Nian, the king of Chen Liu: "Have you seen it?" ”
Li Nian was also looking at Gu Mingzhu who was walking away, with a shallow smile on Wen Wen's face, and he didn't speak.
Li Yu, the virtuous king who had already gotten up to say goodbye to the new science and technology scholars, also glanced at the back, revealing a thoughtful look. This lady of the Gu family is really special, the previous time he was on Xihe Zhuangzi, this time it was at the Qujiang meeting, and he really taught him that he couldn't help but pay attention.
Speaking of which, Gu Mingzhu is indeed unusual, the ladies and ladies in your mansion all have their own thoughts, and it is inevitable that there will be a little trick, but no one is as ruthless as her, so thorough, and she can still make people speechless.
It's just that Gu Mingzhu didn't know that she had attracted the attention of so many people, she was really lazily leaning on her carriage at this moment, yawning a little on her pillow, she had been troubled and laborious for most of the day, and she got up early in the morning, and she was really a little tired at this time.
"Lady, just ......" Abi looked at her timidly for a while before she mustered up the courage to speak.
She really couldn't help but ask, what happened at the banquet just now was really too weird!
It seems that the lady of the Guo family intends to frame her, but her own lady seems to know everything, and everything is done.
Especially the purse, it is more like the lady deliberately wanted them to take it, and it has already been left behind silently!
Gu Mingzhu glanced at her, but said with a faint smile: "Abi Ke has ever seen my aunt?" ”
Ah Bi didn't know why, and shook her head: "I haven't seen the eldest princess. ”
The world-famous eldest princess of Xuanyang had already died more than ten years ago, and Abi was sent to the mansion from Zhuangzi later.
Gu Mingzhu turned her head to look at her: "I have seen it, these days, A-Niang has been dreaming of me all these days, and she told me many things." ”
Ah Bi was stunned, and when she came back to her senses, her back was cold, and she bowed down tremblingly, not daring to look at Gu Mingzhu for a long time, and not daring to ask again.
"A-Niang said, let me be careful, someone wants to harm me."
Gu Mingzhu still said, "I know." ”
She couldn't tell them the truth, so she could only convince them with the blessing of her ancestors.
Abi didn't ask any more, she didn't say any more, still lazily leaning on the pillow, leisurely looking at the street market outside the carriage.
This time, if Guo Yuxiu was sent to the East Palace as a side concubine, I was afraid that the mother and daughter of the Guo family would be in a hurry to return to the Taishi Mansion and want to ask Guo Taishi to intercede.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingzhu smiled, she was also like that at the beginning, Luo Shi hurriedly took her back, hoping that Gu Qing could try to enter the palace to intercede, but unfortunately the queen of heaven was extremely angry, and the edict canonized on the second day was sent to the General's Mansion, and she was finally sent to the East Palace.
Recalling the short one-year stay in the East Palace in that life, Gu Mingzhu's gaze became gloomy and darker.
If it is said that it is on earth now, then it will be hell!
So this time, she wanted to send Guo Yuxiu to taste the taste, so that she could also taste the taste of being tortured by humiliation and tormented in regret every day!
Gu Mingzhu slowly reached out and touched the purse on her waist, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, the mother and daughter of the Guo family had already seen something strange, but they didn't necessarily know that the purse contained the secret fragrance she had specially prepared in the past few days, and when combined with wine, it would have an aphrodisiac effect on men.
In that life, she was sent to the East Palace, and the difficult and bitter days were difficult, so she learned to make perfume with the old perfumer of the Shangfu Bureau.
The old woman Shi was lonely, in the palace for many years, and when she died, she was grateful for taking care of her for a while, and gave her a few secret incense recipes, which has since become a means of saving her life.
The purse was personally sent to the prince by the mother and daughter of the Guo family, and the bitter fruit was planted at that time.
If you do your own iniquity, you shall not live, and you shall not complain to others.
In the evening, Mama Han took the roster and account book and went to the main courtyard with a somewhat ugly face.
"Lady rested?" Mama Han looked at the half-hidden door and asked Xiaokui in a low voice.
Abi opened the curtain and came out, curtling her knees: "Mama, the lady is waiting in the room." ”
Mama Han nodded, and followed Abi into the room.
Gu Mingzhu had already scattered her hair, her black and soft hair fell to one shoulder, and she looked very comfortable in a plain soft satin bedgown.
She sat on the couch by the window, looking up at the vast night outside and the moon in the sky, but there was a little indescribable sadness on her bright face.
Mama Han watched for a while, standing by the door at a loss.
Who has ever seen such a Gu Mingzhu, who is obviously a lady who has been pampered in the Hussar General's Mansion for many years, but if there is nothing that you want, where will you know sorrow?
But Gu Mingzhu in front of him made people feel unspeakably sad, obviously he still looked the same, but the vicissitudes and despair in his expression couldn't be pretended, if he hadn't experienced too much pain, who could have such a look.
Gu Mingzhu turned around and saw Mama Han, but she smiled first, pulled her hair, and leaned on the couch without any manners: "Mama is here, how are things?" ”
When she spoke, the sadness on her face was gone, and she became the proud Gu Mingzhu again.
Mama Han also came back to her senses, came forward with the roster and account book, and said softly: "Lady, I checked with Xiaokui all day, and I feel that something is wrong......
She frowned, and then said, "I'm afraid there is a big mistake......
Mama Han spread out the account books and rosters in front of Gu Mingzhu, pointed to the account books and rosters one by one and said carefully: "When the eldest princess went to the palace, the royal rewards in the palace were all sent back to the Shanggong Bureau, leaving this mansion and more than 20 Zhuangzi, 1,100 acres of Tianzi field, more than 10 shops, 218 servants in the house, and 17,500 gold in the house. ”
"But now, there are less than five hundred gold left in the account books, and the title deeds of the grange shop are all on the Xifu side, but most of the servants in the house have changed," Han Mama said, "There are less than a few old people left behind back then, and most of them are people sent by Xifu later." ”
Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but jump her eyelids, the eldest princess of Xuanyang was deeply favored by the first emperor, and when she got married, she had a rich marriage, even if she sent the imperial gift back to the Shanggong Bureau, but this more than 10,000 gold is also how much you can't think of in your mansion, you must know that Gu Qing, the first-class hussar general of the dynasty, is only only fifty times, and it is only ten gold in a year.
But the more than 10,000 gold is gone, and only 500 gold remains!
The title deeds of the grange shop are all in the hands of Luo's family, and even most of the people in this house have been replaced by her people, so I can't say that this is the person she installed outside the door of this house!
Gu Mingzhu's face became cold, Luo's hand was stretched too long, too greedy!
