Chapter 358: Misunderstanding and Guilt (Part 1)
When she returned home on the third day of the wedding, Gu Mingzhu woke up early and told Ah Bi and Xiaokui to wait for a change of clothes and freshen up, for fear of delaying the time to review home.
Cui Lin still got up early in the morning, Gu Mingzhu didn't see him when she woke up, she had begun to gradually understand, Cui Lin is actually a very self-disciplined person, every night he sleeps for a quarter of an hour, and gets up at the end of the day, never a quarter of a quarter of an hour earlier, just like he is as strict as he does things.
Gu Mingzhu didn't see him, and he didn't mention today's return to Ning the night before, but he had been busy in the front yard, and he didn't come back to rest until late, so she could only tell Ah Bi and Xiao Kui first: "Go and prepare, let's go back to the General's Mansion." ”
Abi was stunned for a moment: "It's just that Lang Jun ...... him"
Gu Mingzhu thought that she would leave for Boling tomorrow, but she was afraid that Cui Lin still had a lot of things to arrange, and she might not be able to spend most of the day with her to review her home, and she didn't feel anything, after all, Li Yu had never accompanied her back to Gu's house, and only when there was something in the court would Gu Qing be invited to go to King Xian's mansion to talk.
She shook her head, "Just go." ”
She is still accustomed to everything that is not dependent on people.
Cui Lin came back from the front yard before breakfast, and what he saw was Gu Mingzhu who had been cleaned up, as well as the servants who were ready, he was a little puzzled and looked at Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu smiled: "Today is Guining, Lang Jun is afraid that there are many things, so he can send me to the General's Mansion, and he will not delay the business." ”
She said very calmly: "If you don't come with me on the day of Guining, I'm afraid that I will teach them to worry." ”
Cui Lin frowned, his expression seemed to be a little uneasy, and he said, "Let's go, let's go have breakfast first." ”
I didn't say whether it was good or bad.
Gu Mingzhu didn't mention it, and went with him to the lotus garden of Cui Cheng and Mrs. Cui.
After setting up breakfast, Gu Mingzhu gave Mrs. Cui a dish, but she stopped her, and her tone was still indifferent: "No need, you have to go back to the General's Mansion in a while, and Ansheng will have dinner." ”
Gu Mingzhu sat down as she said, Mrs. Cui didn't let her serve the meal in the past few days, although she still didn't seem to be affectionate to her, it was not difficult to speak.
The family ate silently, Cui Cheng went to the front yard, and Mrs. Cui, Cui Lin, and Gu Mingzhu used tea soup before slowly speaking: "Are all the things you brought to your in-laws ready?" ”
Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but listened to Cui Lin on the side and said, "It's all ready, mother rest assured." ”
Mrs. Cui glanced at Gu Mingzhu, who was a little stunned on the side, and nodded: "Since this is the case, you can go over." ”
He turned his head and said to Gu Mingzhu: "I will leave for Boling tomorrow, if you stay in the mansion over there, it doesn't hurt for you to stay for a while." ”
Gu Mingzhu was surprised for a moment, thanked him and followed Cui Lin out of the door.
When the husband and wife got into the carriage, Cui Lin looked at her: "I have nothing to do today, if you have anything, let someone tell Xiaoyuan to tell me, and I will talk to my father-in-law." ”
He didn't plan to leave, he wanted to stay in the General's Mansion?
Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but feel a little weak in her heart, a little sneering, she blamed Cui Lin, it turned out that he had already arranged it, or she was stingy.
"Does Lang Jun want to stay in the house to eat? I told my second aunt to prepare soup, bath, and embroidery pills in the kitchen. Gu Mingzhu stuck out her tongue and asked softly.
Cui Lin looked at her face with a little smile, and her watery eyes were a little flattering and apprehensive, which was very different from her bright and calm in the past, his originally somewhat cold face finally softened, and he said sullenly: "Only the soup bath embroidery pill?" ”
Gu Mingzhu's heart suddenly became steady, looking at Cui Lin's somewhat depressed handsome face, and nodded hurriedly: "There are many more, and the skills of Mrs. Huang in the kitchen are very good." ”
Cui Lin sighed softly, reached out and shook her hand, and didn't say anything more after all.
Gu Mingzhu sighed secretly in her heart, she knew that she was too cautious, even with Cui Lin, she couldn't help but quietly leave a little room for herself, just because she didn't want to fall to the point of having nothing one day.
It's like a person who has been seriously injured, no matter what he encounters, he will instinctively take a step back to protect himself, for fear of showing his defenseless side to others again.
Originally, this instinct protected Gu Mingzhu all the way, but at this moment, she was a little regretful.
Gu Yuan and Mao greeted them in front of the mansion with their servants, and watched Cui Lin and Gu Mingzhu get out of the carriage like a pair of jade people, and smiled from ear to ear: "Quickly invite Wulang and the county lord into the mansion." ”
Mao took Gu Mingzhu's hand and looked up and down with a smile: "Okay, good ......"
Gu Mingzhu blushed, but Cui Lin was downright and generous, and politely saluted Gu Yuan and Mao: "Second uncle, second aunt." ”
Gu Yuan didn't go out to eat and drink with people for a long time, he just helped take care of the housework in the house and the shop every day, and the people also got a little blessed, and the face of the meat group was full of smiles: "Gorou come into the mansion, the eldest brother is in the study." ”
Cui Lin smiled and went with him to the study in the front yard to see Gu Qing.
Only then did Mao pull Gu Mingzhu to the house: "The third lady will come back in a while, and she will stay in the house to eat, saying that she wants to talk well." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at her, who was already a little pregnant, and nodded with a smile.
Just sat down and looked at the list of gifts sent by the Cui family, Mao smacked his tongue: "...... That's too heavy, isn't it? ”
What was given to Gu Qing was the famous Lingnan brew Yunxi Boluo, what was given to Mao was a pair of Goryeo's century-old wild ginseng and two pieces of whole silver fox stump wool, and what was given to Gu Yuan was a piece of rare Xiazhou Mingyue tea cake and a green jade
Other Mao didn't know, but she knew about the pair of hundred-year-old wild ginseng, and it was a pair of Korean wild ginseng that Luo had exchanged for before, which was naturally not an ordinary thing that could make her take risks, but the gift from the Cui family was such a pair, which really taught her to smack her tongue.
Not to mention the whole silver fox big wool material, it is even more rare.
She put down the list, shook her head and smiled: "It seems that the Cui family values you very much." ”
The return gift is also the recognition of the bride by the in-laws, the gift sent by the Cui family is so rich, and Gu Mingzhu is naturally very important, which makes the Mao family very relieved, and was worried that the Cui family will inevitably have some mustard for Gu Mingzhu because of the identity of the family, but now it is finally relieved.
Gu Mingzhu didn't expect the return gift prepared by the Cui family to be so rich, remembering the conversation between Mrs. Cui and Cui Lin when she came before, it seems that Cui Lin personally asked her to prepare.
He even inquired about Gu Qing and Gu Yuan's preferences, gave Gu Qing aged wine, and gave Gu Yuan treasured tea cakes, obviously prepared for a long time.
But she had misunderstood him before.
Gu Mingzhu felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart again, and he planned to compensate him on the way back for a while.
