Chapter 436: The Reluctant Four Ladies (First Update)
Gu Mingzhu was not annoyed, and smiled: "The three docks have already belonged to me, and the ships should naturally listen to my dispatch, does Madame think it is inappropriate?" ”
She raised her eyes to look at the Duchess of Yanguo, although she still had a smile on her face, but the fierceness in her eyes made the Duchess of Yanguo can't help but swallow, and she choked before pulling out an ugly smile: "I'm just afraid that the county lord has never taken care of the boat before, and I don't know the ingenuity here......"
Gu Mingzhu's smile suddenly turned cold: "This ship has its own stewardship, why do I need to ask in person, not to mention that even if the business of those docks is smashed, it is just a transaction, can Mrs. have anything else to say?" ”
Duchess Yan Guo never thought that Gu Mingzhu would be so tough, and she ruthlessly pushed her words back, her face was purple for a while, and the anger had turned into shame, and she couldn't control it anymore, so she sat up straight suddenly: "The ships in those three boat lines were built with a lot of money and silver, and they are the biggest and best in the boat industry. ”
Gu Mingzhu lost a smile on her face, and looked at Duchess Yan Guo coldly: "Could it be that the deal your mansion made with me wants to break the contract?" ”
She put down the bowl in her hand and knocked lightly on the table, Ah Bi and Xiao Kui stepped forward to help her get up, and walked a few steps outside, she glanced back at the Duchess of Yan Guo: "That's okay, the previous agreement is over." ”
Duchess Yan Guo was so frightened that she couldn't care about any rules and etiquette, so she got up and hurriedly stopped in front of Gu Mingzhu: "County Lord, County Lord, this is ...... Listen to me, I'm not ......."
Gu Mingzhu stopped his steps, looked at her and sneered: "Madame, let's think about it and talk about it, the previous agreement was also good for the sake of the fourth sister's relatives, since the house feels bad, then it's good to give up, after all, tomorrow is the day to welcome." ”
The meaning of this couldn't be clearer, tomorrow is an auspicious day, the Gu family can not want this marriage, but the matter of the Yanguo Mansion can no longer be hidden, and the end is self-evident.
Duchess Yanguo was so frightened that she couldn't move, and watched Gu Mingzhu go out, and suddenly remembered that the little lady in front of her was no one else, but the lord of Lingling, what she was holding in her hand was the life and death of the Yanguo Mansion, and the Yanguo Mansion used the boat to get a way to live.
But she ruined the deal!
I don't know what's wrong, her legs are weak, she falls to the ground, and she is completely panicked.
Out of the inner hall, Gu Mingzhu didn't talk to the Duchess of Yanguo anymore, watching her try to get up with her several times, but she avoided talking to Mao, and watched her leave with someone in despair, and she didn't move at all.
According to the rules, the mother's family should give the bride a pressure box gift the day before the wedding.
Gu Mingli's courtyard has been newly decorated, the window lattices are pasted with red and happy window flowers, the maidservants are wearing new dresses, and seeing Mao accompanying Gu Mingzhu and Gu Mingyu to come in, they hurriedly retreated to the side and bowed to the side.
Mao smiled and asked, "What about the four ladies?" But you are ashamed to hide in your room? ”
The maidservant who was serving Gu Mingli turned pale suddenly, and said in a low voice: "The lady is in the room and has never come out." ”
Mao suddenly smiled: "Tomorrow is to welcome her, today the county lord and the third lady came to send her a pressure box, but she hid in the room and refused to come out, what is this, it is too rude." ”
She glanced at Gu Mingzhu before she said: "The fourth lady is now recorded in the name of the eldest lady, and she goes to the eldest lady every day to listen to the teachings, but it is still inferior and difficult to change, which is really worrying." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at the closed door, her eyes became cold, and she instructed the maidservant: "There is also an auspicious time for the box pressing ceremony, open the door." ”
The maidservant did not dare to disobey, so she stepped forward and pushed the door open vigorously and welcomed the few of them in.
The room was dim, there was no light, and the windows were not opened, and Gu Mingzhu and the three of them walked in for a while before they could see clearly.
I saw that the room was in a mess, the bride's wedding clothes and jewelry sent in were scattered all over the ground, and the colorful brocade covering the knees was also crumpled and thrown on the ground, but I didn't see Gu Mingli's person.
It wasn't until after turning the screen that I saw Gu Mingli sitting there straightened on the couch, wearing a homely dress, without the slightest appearance of being a bride.
Mao Shi stretched his face first: "What does this look like, why don't you come and help the fourth lady clean up, is it possible to wait for tomorrow in person like this?" ”
But before the maids could come in, Gu Mingli, who had been sitting lifeless on the couch, suddenly pounced on the desk, grabbed a pair of sharp copper scissors, and shouted: "Don't come, no one is allowed to come......"
This frightened Mao and Gu Mingyu, Gu Mingyu was startled, but hurriedly stopped in front of Gu Mingzhu: "Big sister, be careful......"
Mao pulled the two of them behind him, and scolded the maidservant: "Why don't you go up and take the scissors off quickly, and hurt people carefully." ”
Gu Mingzhu was already accustomed to seeing life and death, and looked at her with an ordinary face: "What is the fourth lady going to do?" ”
Gu Mingli cried and screamed: "I don't want to marry, I don't want to marry, that Feng Liulang is messing around with the actor outside, I don't want to marry him!" ”
She pointed her scissors at her throat, then suddenly stopped, grabbing her loose hair: "If you push me again, I will ...... I'll just twist my hair and make a sister-in-law......"
Mao's face changed greatly, seeing that tomorrow would be a personal welcome, but I didn't expect Gu Mingli to look like this today, if she really twisted her hair, how would she get married in a wedding dress tomorrow?
She opened her voice softly and persuaded: "What is the fourth lady doing?" This is a very good marriage, over there is the Yanguo Mansion, a good thing that many people can't think of in the Centennial Mansion......"
Gu Mingli didn't finish listening to it, so she screamed: "That's good, why don't you let Mingyu marry, why me!" I don't want to marry, you force me again, I really twisted my hair......"
Gu Mingyu's face turned pale, she couldn't imagine that Gu Mingli would involve herself, the previous matter was finally settled, but if anything came out, it would be difficult for her to marry the Xianwang Mansion in the future.
Gu Mingzhu stopped the Mao family and instructed a few maidservants on the side: "Go, go and open the window, and then invite the general to come, just say that the fourth lady refuses to marry to the Yanguo Mansion, and would rather go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law, so the general's mansion will take on this matter, please go to the Yanguo Mansion to make amends, and then prepare a carriage to send the fourth lady to the meditation nunnery, and ask the host to shave her." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Mao and Gu Mingyu were stunned, but Gu Mingli, who had been crying and shouting for death and looking for a pair of scissors in her hair, was also stunned, and forgot to cry.
