Chapter 11 A bowl of soothing soup
The two ladies of the Gu family were all supported by the maidservants before they could stagger out of the carriage, Gu Mingyue, who had always been quiet and weak, had already turned white, and walked slowly with soft hands and feet relying on the maidservants, even Gu Mingyu, who was strong and competitive on weekdays, was like ashes, unable to speak for a long time, looking frightened.
Just now on the Xihe Zhuangzi, they saw Lu Jianniang being thrown off by a horse, and they were stepped on by Guo Yuxiu and their horses, and the flesh and blood were blurred and unconscious on the spot.
There was a great chaos on the polo field, and several ladies in the stands immediately fainted, and the rest of them also fled in horror and went out of Zhuangzi. Guo Yuxiu and those few were also frightened, trembling and getting off the horse, helping the maid to hide in the barrier.
No one expected that Lu Jianniang said that she was frightened by Gu Mingyu before, but in less than a moment, her horse was really shocked, which was really strange.
"Yueniang, you said Lu Jianniang, she ......" Gu Mingyu recalled that the last time she saw Lu Jianniang, who was covered in blood and had not moved at all, was lying on the ground as if she was dead, and couldn't help but ask Gu Mingyue.
Gu Mingyue shook her head weakly: "Don't ask more, hurry back to the courtyard and clean up and rest, tomorrow is the Qujiang banquet, you can't be rude." She turned around and instructed the maidservant: "Send someone to prepare some soothing soup for the third lady, and then send some to Dongfu, the eldest sister is afraid that she will be frightened today." ”
Gu Mingyu was angry for a while, and she couldn't even care about being afraid: "She didn't even pay attention to it, so she went back to the house, but you still remember her." With that, he turned around and left with the maidservant.
Gu Mingyue watched her walk away, sighed, and helped her personal maid Ah Xiang: "Let's go, go to Chunhui Hall." ”
Chunhui Hall is the main courtyard of Xifu, because Gu Qing guards and patrols all the year round, it was originally the old lady who lived, and after a few years of Luo's marriage, the old lady asked to move to Songhe Hall, and gave Chunhui Hall to Luo's to live.
Luo was making arrangements for the Qujiang banquet on the second day: "...... Those baskets are ready, but they are all for the queen of heaven to eat, and they must not be sloppy. She said in a stacked voice: "Cut the best fresh sea bass, osmanthus nectar stuffed Ming'er steamed early in the morning!" ”
The mother-in-law was about to leave, but she called again: "The second lady's dress has been ironed, don't delay......"
Gu Mingyue took the maidservant girl in, and bowed down on her knees: "Auntie." ”
Seeing that she was back, Luo nodded hurriedly: "Get up, you're back." ”
Gu Mingyue bowed slightly, stepped forward and said softly: "Don't worry, Auntie, my dresses and jewelry have been taught to prepare them, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Hearing her speak, Luo smiled with satisfaction, and pulled her to sit down on the seat: "How can you not worry, tomorrow is the Qujiang banquet, and you two sisters will go to Ziyun Tower." I don't have much hope for your sister, she has always acted unsteadily, I just hope that she won't cause trouble. ”
Gu Mingyue said softly: "A-Niang is relieved, I will take care of Yu Niang." ”
Luo Che bowed his head and said: "You are the one who matters, have you remembered everything you were ordered before?" ”
"I've got it all in mind." Gu Mingyue thought about the Qujiang banquet on the second day, and bit her lip and said.
Luo Che smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, why did you come back so early, not to have a banquet in Zhuangzi?" She was a little surprised, and she could see that Gu Mingyue's face was wrong.
Gu Mingyue's body trembled slightly, and she whispered everything that happened in Xihe Zhuangzi, and when she talked about Lu Jianniang's fate, her voice couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she couldn't forget that terrifying scene no matter what.
Luo Zhi listened, but his face suddenly turned cold: "You said that Yu Niang was also caught in it?" Was it because she chased the Lu family lady that made a fuss? Her brow furrowed, and her expression was very complicated.
Gu Mingyue nodded: "Yes, I also asked Yu Niang just now, she said that it was Lu Jianniang who was disrespectful, and she would chase her and make noise when she was annoyed." ”
Her voice was reassuring and soft: "It's just that Lu Jianniang rushed to the side of the stands before, and almost injured the eldest sister, but fortunately, the eldest sister was alert and blocked her whip, otherwise I am afraid that she would have been injured." ”
Luo's originally frowning brows couldn't help jumping slightly, and he sat up straight: "The eldest lady, she also had a conflict with the lady of the Lu family?" That's weird. ”
had a good game, but the two ladies of the Gu family were involved, the strangest thing is why the ladies of the Lu family did this, and they dared to do something to Gu Mingzhu, which is really unusual.
Gu Mingyue's gentle face was full of worry: "Big Sister Fang is in a hurry, and I didn't have time to ask more, I'm afraid I'm also frightened." After a while, I'll ask Ah Xiang to teach someone to prepare some soothing soup, and send a copy to the eldest sister and Yu Niang. ”
Luo slowly smiled and patted Gu Mingyue's hand: "Good boy, you don't have to worry about it, you can prepare for tomorrow's Qujiang banquet with peace of mind, I will teach someone to prepare a soothing soup and send it over." ”
Gu Mingyue obediently agreed, said a few more words to Luo, and then got up and retreated.
The soothing soup made by the Luo family was soon sent to Dongfu, Gu Mingzhu called the little maid who sent the soup medicine in, and looked at the food box containing the soup medicine with a smile: "Madame asked you to send it over?" ”
The little maid respectfully agreed: "Yes, the lady said that the eldest lady was frightened today, and specially ordered someone to fry the soothing soup and send it over, so that tomorrow's matter will not be missed." ”
Gu Mingzhu seemed to smile: "Thank you Madame for falling in love, but I don't need this soothing soup, I'm afraid that Yueniang and Yuniang will be more frightened, so I'll send someone to send it to them." ”
Before the words fell, the little maid hurriedly said: "The second lady and the third lady have all got it, this is the lady specially ordered to send it to the eldest lady." ”
Luo's arrangement was naturally leaky, and Gu Mingzhu originally just said it, so he smiled and didn't say more, and sent the little maid out.
Xiao Kui hurriedly asked someone to serve Gu Mingzhu with a food box, but Gu Mingzhu shook his head: "Pour it out from the back window, be careful, don't let people see it." ”
Xiaokui and Abi on the side were stunned: "Lady, why ......?"
Xiao Kui said even more worriedly: "Fang is so thrilling, the lady must be frightened, it is better to use some soothing soup." Her heart was still pounding and pounding.
Gu Mingzhu waved his hand lazily: "Just do what I say, don't teach outsiders to know." ”
Seeing Xiao Kui take the decoction and pour it clean through the back window with a questioning face, Gu Mingzhu retracted his gaze and flipped through the account books and directories of the East Mansion.
Which time was that? It was Gu Mingzhu who learned to be smart after dying twice, and hid in the stands without competing with Guo Yuxiu, narrowly avoiding Lu Jianniang's whip, and finally came back unharmed.
She was defenseless at that time, she really took the decoction, and she couldn't wake up the next day, and when she was woken up by Xiaokui and Abi in a panic, she had missed the time of the Qujiang banquet, and hurriedly changed her dress and rushed to Ziyun Tower, but was blocked in front of the door, and the queen of heaven Niangniang even passed on the message, reprimanding her for being willful and rude, and letting her kneel in front of Ziyun Tower until the banquet was over.
At that time, Gu Mingzhu was so stupid and unintentional, he never thought about why he had repeatedly ended up miserable, and he never suspected anything else, until he died tragically again and again, and finally slowly saw all the people and things around him, and everything was just beginning.
