There was a dead silence in the hall, no one dared to speak, Luo Shi lowered his eyes and ate the tea soup, and did not look at the old lady, but just asked the maid to pour tea and water.

Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingyu were even more like gourds with sawed mouths, bowing their heads and not saying a word.

Gu Yuan and the Mao couple looked at Mrs. Gu and then at Gu Qing, looking very uneasy.

Gu Mingzhu didn't speak, she was looking at Gu Qing, looking at her carefully.

It's been a long time since she has looked at her father like this, and she almost can't remember it for a long time, and it seems that the last time she saw him was before she was driven to Qinglian Temple by Li Yu, and she came back crying and begged Gu Qing.

At that time, Gu Qing listened to her crying, and didn't speak for a long time, but sighed heavily: "You go to Qinglian Temple to stay for a few days first, and when these things stop after a while, I will send someone to pick you up." ”

He didn't agree to Gu Mingzhu's plea, and he didn't intercede with Li Yu for her.

Gu Mingzhu couldn't understand at first, since she married into the Xianwang Mansion, her father no longer asked about her, and every time she came back to the mansion, she was just polite, as if she was treating outsiders.

It wasn't until later that she realized that it was because of Gu Mingyue.

Gu Mingyue had already had a personal relationship with Li Yu, and in the end, Li Yu wanted to welcome Gu Mingyue as the crown princess, and she was already an abandoned son of the Gu family.

She looked at Gu Qing, looking at the wrinkles on his cold face, the perennial border training made him look thin and dark, and the originally stretched brows wrinkled when she listened to Old Madam Gu's crying.

At first, she hated him, he was Gu Mingyue's father, and he was also hers, why did she give up her to fulfill Gu Mingyue?

Obviously that is her husband, she has worked hard to manage what she deserves.

It's a pity that she didn't ask anything, and before she could ask for an exit, she had already turned the page again.

But at this time, when Gu Mingzhu saw him again, he still wanted to ask why!

She slowly looked away, no longer looking at her father, she still had a lot to do to change her fate, but this answer was not so important.

Listening to the old lady Gu crying for a long time, after all, Luo Shi opened his mouth and persuaded in a low voice: "The general has just returned home, it's not too late to talk about anything in a few days, the old lady's body is important, and it doesn't matter if you have anything to say later." ”

She didn't want Gu Yuan and Mao's two waste materials to be left behind, but she couldn't help but persuade her, so she had to make peace with the mud.

Gu Qing put down the tea pot: "In two days, it will be the birthday day, can the congratulatory gifts sent to the palace be prepared?" ”

This is a big deal, and all the prefectures in Chang'an have been busy with this all these days, and everyone wants to satisfy the saint and queen with the tribute gifts, especially since the situation between the DPRK and China is so delicate, they dare not slack off.

Roche hurriedly responded: "It's all ready, and the gift list is ready." ”

She said: "I asked the shop to buy a pair of wild ginseng with a year from Goryeo, spent a full hundred gold, and ordered five furs from outside the customs, one white tiger, two bear skins, and fox skins ......."

Gu Qing frowned and interrupted her: "You look at the preparations, you took care of it in previous years." ”

He has never been good at these social interactions, and he is not willing to do anything on this, so it is naturally appropriate for Roche to take care of it.

Old Madam Gu didn't say anything, she glanced at Luo's family, these in previous years were also made by Luo's family, she was also knowledgeable, and there were not a lot of things that should be sent to Songshou Temple, she was still satisfied with this.

Mao pouted, such a good thing fell on Luo's head again, listening to the string of good things, but she couldn't even see it, what could she do.

Only Gu Mingzhu's eyes slowly sank, and his smile gradually became cold.

Recalling the news she heard from the palace after becoming a virtuous princess, the ridicule in Gu Mingzhu's eyes was even deeper, this general's wife was shrewd, but she was really not powerful.

Although she was born in Anpingbo's mansion, she is a ruined family after all, and her vision is limited. Over the years, she has used various entertainment banquets to make a lot of moves, trying her best to get the money and silver in the public account of the house into her own hands, and subsidize it to her mother's family Anping Bo Mansion Chief's house.

She didn't even let go of this congratulatory gift, which almost made the Gu family lose face, and since then she has laid the root of the curse.

She slowly straightened the slightly wrinkled skirt, this time I was afraid that she could no longer let Luo Shi's greed go, after all, she was still the wife of the Gu family, and before she found a way to protect herself, she couldn't watch the big ship of the Gu family leak and capsize.

Gu Qingcai came back, Old Madam Gu was unhappy again, the people in the hall didn't sit for long before they dispersed, Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingyu sisters obediently retreated to the courtyard, Old Madam Gu dragged Gu Yuan back to Songshou Courtyard with a long face, and Mao followed with an unhappy face.

The Liu family took Gu Mingli to be interesting, and bowed to the old lady and Gu Qing before retreating, not even looking at Gu Qing for half an eye, looking honest and obedient, and couldn't find the slightest mistake.

Gu Mingzhu also got up slowly and bent his knees towards Gu Qing: "I'll go back first." ”

But he didn't expect to be stopped by Gu Qing: "I'll go with you to the mansion over there and go to put incense on your mother." ”

His face was calm, as if he were saying something very ordinary.

But this sentence made Luo's smiling face, which had always been steady, suddenly collapse, and his face changed and stared at him and Gu Mingzhu, he said that he was going to incense the late eldest princess Xuanyang.

He left the house for more than half a year, and it was easy to come back, and the first thing he wanted to see was not her, the living pillow person, but the person who had been dead for more than ten years!

Luo's face was pale and gray, his body trembled slightly, he forcibly suppressed the hatred in his chest, and pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "The general is going to Dongfu to incense the eldest princess?" I sent for the preparation of tributes and incense to be delivered. ”

Gu Qing didn't look at her, just got up and walked out: "No need." ”

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a while before thinking about following, and followed Gu Qing out of Chunhui Hall to the East Mansion.

Seeing Gu Qing and Gu Mingzhu's father and daughter walk out, Luo's eyes suddenly turned red, and he sat down on the couch softly, covering his face with a handkerchief, and couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

Mama Sun hurriedly instructed the maid to bring a handkerchief, and personally took a handkerchief and stepped forward to wipe Luo's tears: "Madam, don't be sad, Madame, the general is back easily, you can't cry, if you teach the old lady to know, I'm afraid I'll blame you again." ”

Luo Shi choked and raised his hand, trembling and pointing outside: "You see, where is there me in his heart, only the one who died, even if I have taken care of the affairs of the house for him all these years, and I have raised those ...... But he didn't even think about me! ”
