Chapter 409: The Stupid Duchess of Yan Guo (Third Update)
It's just that Gu Mingzhu didn't know about this, she sat in the carriage back, talking with Cui Yu without a match, but her expression was a little stunned.
She was still thinking about what Zheng Yuan said.
At that time, although he looked tough and didn't care, he was actually worried after all.
Cui Lin has been the pride of the sky since he was a child, and he has been sought after by countless people, the future of the Cui family, and the hope of all the families, but if he is really blamed by the family because of himself, he has no identity as a son, or is trampled under the feet of others, how can she stand it in her heart.
Is she going to watch him embarrassed like this? But if she wants to give up, she can't stop feeling sad in her heart, although it hasn't started yet, but she just can't suppress the sad feeling.
Gu Mingzhu's heart was churning back and forth, so much so that he didn't even hear what Cui Yu said.
Cui Yu was talking to her about the Lantern Festival, and when she saw that she didn't answer, she looked up strangely, but what she saw was Gu Mingzhu leaning on the big pillow in a daze, not knowing what to think.
She couldn't help laughing, it seemed that the county lord was not as young and old as he looked on the surface, after all, he would still have something on his mind, and he would also lose his temper.
But this is what a lady of this age should look like, isn't it?
She smiled and didn't say much, just accompanied Gu Mingzhu all the way back to the county lord's mansion.
After thanking Cui Yu, Gu Mingzhu packed up her thoughts and went back to the county lord's mansion, even if she was full of entanglement, she still had to cheer up, and there were still many things waiting for her to arrange for her, and she couldn't be distracted.
The post of the General's Mansion was quickly sent to several ladies, and they were invited to come to the mansion for a banquet, and they didn't even find a name for appreciating flowers and snow, it was so simple and rude.
But that's the case, those ladies were busy replying and enthusiastically agreed, after all, at this juncture, being able to get the invitation of the Gu family to come to the door as a guest is a good thing that many people in Chang'an Guifu dare not think of, and it is too late to catch up.
Only the Duchess of Yanguo, who took that post as if she was holding a piece of hot charcoal, hated to throw it away, only she heard that the Gu family was beautiful again, and it was very uncomfortable to get married by the royal family.
It's no wonder that she is uncomfortable, Feng Liulang's marriage was originally forced to change people, from a concubine to a concubine, saying that it was recorded in the name of the eldest lady Luo, but the people outside are not stupid, who doesn't know Gu Mingli's identity, now the third lady Mingyu, who was originally going to marry into her mansion, has become Princess Xian, even if they meet in the future, she still has to salute respectfully, how can she not panic.
She originally wanted to refuse the Gu family's invitation, but she was severely reprimanded by Yan Guogong, saying that she was confused, this is a good thing that other families can't think of, and she must use Liulang's marriage to get in touch with the Gu family, especially to get closer to the county lord of Lingling, he can see it, maybe these noble mansions will have requests for this county lord in the future, and even the princess Xian is also stained with the light of this county lord.
Duchess Yan Guo was full of reluctance, but she couldn't help but do it, but only she knew the dilemma in her heart, she and Gu Mingzhu were afraid that they would never get along, and they were afraid that the two of them would not forget what happened in the Gu family at the beginning.
She rode in the carriage and came to the Hussar General's Mansion with a little awkwardness.
When I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw Mrs. Huainan Hou get off the carriage with her lady, and walked towards the general's mansion with a smile.
She hurriedly greeted her, smiled and greeted Mrs. Huainanhou: "You are here too, there is finally someone who can speak." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the plaque of the General's Mansion again, and his tone was a little dissatisfied: "I sent a post to me recklessly, and I didn't say who else I invited, which is really embarrassing." ”
She was afraid that she would be embarrassed by Gu Mingzhu when she entered the General's Mansion for a while, so she thought about winning over a few people who knew each other on weekdays, so that she could have a foil.
It's just that Mrs. Huainanhou glanced at her, but she was a little surprised when she said this.
After all, if it is said that the Duchess of Yan Guo is afraid that she is closer to the Gu family than several of them, they have a family appointment with the Gu family in the house, and they can be regarded as in-laws, I don't know why there seems to be something wrong.
She remembered the rumors of the marriage she had heard before, and her heart was even more excited, the one who was originally going to marry the Duke of Yanguo in the legend is now Princess Xian, and she has the support of the Lord of Lingling County, who dares to mention this, only the Duchess of Yanguo in front of her, who doesn't know what to do, still dares to put on this posture, and pulls her to say this, she can't be implicated.
Mrs. Huainan Hou made up her mind, but the smile on her face did not change at all, but she said to the Duchess of Yanguo: "Who else can there be, it is a few of us, it is rare to come to the General's Mansion to walk around, let's not delay at the door, go in and sit down and talk." ”
He turned his head and said to his daughter: "Let's just say that this snowmelt day is the coldest, you are still thinly dressed, hurry up and go in and sit down to warm up, so as to save the cold headache." ”
As he spoke, he didn't care about being polite to the Duchess of Yanguo, and walked quickly to the general's mansion.
The Duchess of Yanguo was a little bored, so she had to take her maid and go into the general's mansion.
Mao's arranged the banquet in Huanhuaxuan, and set up a hot charcoal basin in all directions, and the couches were all mink mattresses, and the ladies were also prepared with hot hand towels on the stove, and they did not feel cold when they sat down, but warm.
The few people invited were all ladies who had some daily contacts with the Gu family in Chang'an Guifu, and they were all smiling when they entered the table, and they congratulated the Mao family one by one, congratulating the Gu family with double happiness, and asked Gu Mingzhu and Gu Mingyu when they would come over, and they all said that they would congratulate them in person.
Mao's response was thorough, and he explained with a smile that Gu Mingyu was already a lady to be married, and he wanted to stay in the courtyard to prepare for the marriage with peace of mind, so he would not come out to see the guests, and Gu Mingzhu would come over after a while.
Those ladies breathed a sigh of relief, the purpose of coming to the Gu family was very clear, that is, in order to be able to have a good relationship, it was naturally good to see the main master, and it didn't matter if Gu Mingyu didn't come, after all, they all decided that most of this marriage was also because of the Lingling County Lord, if there was no Gu Mingzhu's struggle, how could the queen of heaven value a lady in the general's mansion who was not outstanding.
The Duchess of Yan Guo drooped the corners of her mouth and sat aside without saying a word.
Mao Shi looked at her at a glance and said with a smile: "Mrs. Feng is also rare to come, she has never come to the door again since she was married, and we are worried about whether we have neglected Mrs. Feng." ”
Duchess Yan Guo pulled out an ugly smile: "No, there are many things in the house, so I have never come over." ”
Mao smiled kindly: "That's good, after all, after the first month, it is time to prepare for the marriage of Fushang Liulang and the fourth lady, and it will be the in-laws in the future, which is very rare." ”
Duchess Yanguo's smile became more and more reluctant, and she didn't even want to talk, just eating tea with her head down.
Mao's face was a little unbearable for a while, but he didn't expect this Duchess of Yanguo to be so stupid as to this step, it was really unbearable.
She was about to speak, but she heard Gu Mingzhu's voice outside the door: "Duchess Yanguo, what's wrong?" Could it be that there is something to say? ”
