Chapter 506: Can't Talk
At the beginning of June, the sun was already like fire, Gu Mingzhu's carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion, and Mao took the servants out, but his face was still not very good-looking: "The general has come back, and I invited the Duke and Mrs. Yan Guo to come over, but it's just ......."
She shook her head: "The fourth lady is still obsessed, and she still insists on going to Yuzhou with her, saying that she is unwilling to return." ”
Gu Mingzhu was not surprised, since that accident, Gu Mingli's face was scarred, her temperament and mind have become more biased and stubborn, I am afraid that it will be difficult to persuade her when she is idle.
She said lightly: "That's it, aunt, you don't have to worry about it anymore, after all, this life is her own, who can make the decision for her." ”
Mao shook her head, she had also tried to persuade Gu Mingli in the past few days, but all she got was cynicism, and she had already lightened her heart: "What the county lord said is that the sun is big outside, go first to rest and cool down before talking." ”
Gu Mingzhu and Mao walked all the way, and asked all the way: "Has Yu Niang ever returned to the house?" ”
Mao said with a smile: "I handed over the words, and I will come back in a while, saying that I have been in the palace for the past few days, and I have to take care of some things in the house, and I can't get out of my body for a while, and I have to delay for a while to rush back." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled, now that the Queen Mother has asked her to hand over the affairs of the Six Palaces to Gu Mingyu, she can only accompany the Queen Mother in the Taiji Hall to help sort out the chapters, and she can also accompany Princess Anping to Xianyou Temple to offer incense and pray for the saint, but she is much more leisurely.
It's just that her brisk didn't last long, and as soon as she entered the main hall, she already felt the oppressive atmosphere.
Gu Qingtie sat on the upper seat with a blushing face, and the faces of Yan Guogong and his wife sitting in the guest seat on the side were also very ugly, and there was a stalemate in the silence, it seemed that they had not talked about Gu Mingli.
Gu Mingzhu entered, Yan Guogong's face was a little restrained, frowned, and got up: "County Lord." ”
The Duchess of Yan Guo also had to get up to salute.
Gu Mingzhu returned the salute kindly, and then sat down beside Gu Qing: "Father." ”
Gu Qing watched her eldest daughter come in, and the cold anger on her body subsided a little, and her voice was much lower: "You are also back, I dare not alarm you in this matter." ”
Mao's was a little uncomfortable, after all, she sent the news of this matter into the palace, but she was helpless, although this house was handed over to her to take care of the feed, but she was just an aunt, Luo died of illness, Gu Qing did not remarry, she just wanted to discuss and had nowhere to go, and she couldn't make up her own mind, so she could only ask Gu Mingzhu to come back, otherwise the Duchess of Yanguo would be so easy to deal with.
Gu Mingzhu knew Mao's embarrassment, and shook her head gently: "The fourth sister is also the lady of the Gu family, I can't help but ask, but after all, the elders should have an idea about this matter." ”
When she said this, she glanced at the Duchess of Yan Guo, who was also a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and took a bite of the tea.
Gu Qing said in a deep voice: "I am discussing this matter with the Duke of Yanguo, I originally did not agree to Mingli marrying the Duke of Yanguo, this marriage is a coincidence, Mingli's identity is not concealed, and she is not worthy of the Liulangjun of the mansion, but since this marriage is requested by the mansion, and the old lady is the master, Mingli is married, which is also a beautiful thing." ”
"It's just that now the house is going to send Mingli back for no reason, and even Rokuro can't come over in person to understand, what's going on!"
By the end, his tone was already full of anger.
Let Yan Guogong's hand holding the tea pot stop, very uncomfortable.
Gu Qing was born as a military general, and his speech was not as smooth and euphemistic as that of these generations of nobles, so he asked him directly, which made him very unsure of what to say, and he was full of slander, there was really a reason for looking down on these generals in the past, where is there such a speech that makes people unable to get off the stage.
But he didn't dare to say half a word more, after all, this was not an ordinary military general in front of him, in the past, or Gu Qing had to be afraid of the Yanguo Mansion, but now he was afraid that no one would dare to take Qiao in front of Gu Qing anymore, not to mention that the silent little lady next to him was still the lord of Lingling County.
He coughed lightly and said embarrassedly: "General, we are also thinking about Mingli, she is still young after all, and Liulang is ...... There was an accident in Jiangnan again, I'm afraid it's ......"
He couldn't explain how Feng Liulang suddenly disappeared, so he could only cough dryly to cover up the unspeakable words.
It's just that Gu Qing already knows the general situation, and his face is even more ugly, but he can't say anything, after all, this marriage was set by Old Madam Gu, and he can only endure his anger now.
"Mingli married into the house, and she has never done anything immoral, so how will she deal with herself in the future if she is sent back like this? How can the government give her an explanation? Gu Qing's words fell heavily, "How long will the situation of Fushang Liulang be hidden?" ”
Yan Guogong couldn't pick it up anymore, and he was afraid of Gu Qing's anger, so he could only say weakly: "We also know that we have wronged Mingli, and we are willing to make up for it more......"
Gu Qing categorically interrupted him: "There are not many of them in my house. ”
The embarrassed smile on Yan Guogong's face couldn't hold back any longer, and he had already greeted Gu Qingzu's eighth generation in his heart, how could he talk about things like this.
Gu Mingzhu listened to Gu Qing's words, frowned, and said, "Father, this is the fourth sister's lifelong event after all, let her make her own decision." ”
Gu Qing and she couldn't mention Gu Mingli's decision, even if Gu Qing agreed to let Gu Mingli return, and the Yanguo Mansion lost money, but what was the use of Gu Mingli's refusal, it would still be a mess, it was better to let Gu Mingli figure it out herself.
Gu Qing didn't agree in his heart, he still thought in his heart that the marriage of his children was the order of his parents, and it was up to Gu Mingli to decide in a daze.
However, Gu Mingzhu's words carried a lot of weight in his heart, he still agreed, hesitated for a while, and ordered with a calm face: "Go and invite the fourth lady to come." ”
Gu Mingli was invited to the main hall, which made Yan Guogong and his wife feel even more embarrassed, especially the Duchess Yan Guo, who had made up her mind to ignore the persuasion of the concubine and the servant woman, and sent Gu Mingli back, thinking that the Gu family would agree to the big return with a scruple face, but I didn't expect that the Gu family's father and daughter were more stubborn than the other, and they actually made such a fuss, and they had to swallow their anger here and see Gu Mingli again.
Gu Mingli looked blank, entered the main hall like a stiff puppet, saluted Gu Qing and Yan Guogong and his wife, and stood aside, not looking at Gu Mingzhu, as if he had never seen her.
Gu Qing frowned, glanced at Yan Guogong and his wife who were still on the couch, and decided not to reprimand her in person: "I called you over because I had something to ask you." ”
But as a father, he couldn't talk about it, so he could only look at his eldest daughter again.
Gu Mingzhu didn't look at him, nor did he speak, since Gu Mingli refused to give her face, she was not interested in sticking a hot face to a cold ass, just help the Mao family out of the siege, and the rest was up to them.
Mao opened his mouth on the side: "Now that the two in-laws and the general are here, I want to ask the fourth lady how you plan?" ”
