Chapter 478: Intentions

Second Mrs. Cui was not stingy, the best Chunluo material sent out more than ten horses, and Cui Mansion got a lot up and down, even Ah Bi and Xiaokui who followed Gu Mingzhu over were rewarded, and Gu Mingzhu was busy thanking Second Mrs. Cui.

Second Lady Cui smiled and said: "The county lord is out of sight, these clothes should be matched with the right person, otherwise it will be a waste if I keep them." ”

She took the cloth specially selected for Gu Mingzhu and compared it to her, smiled so much that she couldn't close her mouth, and kept pulling Mrs. Cui and said, "Sister-in-law, look, this kind of color can only be matched by the appearance and bearing of the county lord." ”

Looking at the apricot-red soft smoke lining Gu Mingzhu's skin and snow, Mrs. Cui's eyebrows and eyes were not stretched, but she just smiled faintly: "Thank you second brother and sister, let you spend so much, I will let people send some Song Jin over later, they are all sent by Luoyang, and it is also fashionable, the second brother and sister look at it, if you like it, you can stay, and if you don't like it, it is not bad to reward people." ”

Gu Mingzhu's heart moved slightly, and she lowered her head, she heard it, Mrs. Cui was not willing to take advantage of the second lady at all, the value of Song Jin and Chunluo was comparable, or even slightly higher, often the best Song Jin was sent to Chang'an as a tribute, but what Mrs. Cui was willing to ask for must not be ordinary, so it was easier to get these Chunluo.

Second Mrs. Cui didn't expect the eldest lady to answer her so seriously, but she was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Why is the sister-in-law so polite, but she is divided, I also got it from Runan's mother's family, it's just a favor, where can I afford such a heavy gift from my sister-in-law." ”

Mrs. Cui's slender willow eyebrows frowned slightly, but she still insisted: "Those are also the ones I brought back from Chang'an, they were originally prepared for you and your third siblings, so you don't have to shirk it." ”

Second Mrs. Cui had no choice but to agree.

Gu Mingzhu listened to their words and didn't speak, but just asked Ah Bi to accept the Chunluo given by Second Mrs. Cui, and said a few words before leaving.

It's just that before leaving, Second Lady Cui still pulled Gu Mingzhu and said with a smile: "Invite the county lord to come over early tomorrow morning, I have already ordered to go down and make arrangements." ”

Gu Mingzhu raised her eyes slightly and looked at Mrs. Cui, and the third lady, who had been smiling and not speaking much, softly thanked the second lady, and then took the maidservants back to their courtyard.

It's just that as soon as he returned to his room, Gu Mingzhu asked Ah Bi to put away the Chunluo clothes, and Zhengse instructed Ah Bi: "Bring the burden sent by the princess, and take the set of Fu Lushou ornaments inside." ”

Abi was stunned, but she quickly understood and went to get it.

That set of ornaments is green jade texture, smooth and round, carved into the appearance of the three immortals of Fu Lu Shou lifelike, so detailed that even the beard can be seen clearly, it is indeed exquisite.

It's just that Xiao Kui frowned and said softly: "County Lord, since it was given to Second Mrs. Cui, why didn't you pick that pair of white jade paperweights?" ”

The pair of Hetian white jade paperweights carved into a foxy appearance, one stepping on a colorful and exquisite ball, the other holding a small beast, looking at the cute and cute, is even more valuable.

Gu Mingzhu also knew that Xiaokui was planning for herself, and wanted to please Second Mrs. Cui, so she could get along better in Cui's mansion.

It's just that she shook her head and said with a smile: "That's it, it's okay, and it's generous to look at the joy." ”

Although I don't know why Second Mrs. Cui is so enthusiastic, Gu Mingzhu doesn't plan to please the Cui family one by one, in her heart this is just Cui Lin's family, she respects them, but it doesn't mean that she has to go out of her way to please, after going through so much, she has long known that some people have some things that you can't do with good results, rather than being difficult to ask for a favor that you may not be able to get, it is better to be frank and be yourself, and maybe you can get along neatly.

The pair of green jade ornaments was enough to repay the second lady Cui's courtesy, which was more than enough.

The dishes and meals brought to the courtyard at dinner still surprised Gu Mingzhu, not only because those meals seemed to be customized according to her taste, but also because of the plate of jade dew balls that were sent.

It is made into the general appearance of a hibiscus that will not be opened, there are buds, there are also blooming, and there are a few cute little lotus leaves next to it, stretching and spreading out the leaves, Gu Mingzhu is itchy and wants to play with it.

She held back her outstretched hand, coughed lightly, and asked Abi, "What about the person who sent it?" ”

Abi said: "I've already retreated, but do you want to call it back?" ”

Gu Mingzhu bit his lip and shook his head, and said softly: "Could it be that he also brought the person who made dim sum back to Boling?" ”

Previously, because she loved sweet pastries, Cui Lin spent a lot of money to hire a person who was very good at making pastries to make a lot of snacks for her, the best thing was Yulu Tuan, and she also made it look like a puppet, so that she was reluctant to eat, but now when she saw this snack, she saw that it was the cook's craft, but this was in Boling, not in Chang'an.

Did he really bring this cook along the way?

and the layout of this courtyard, all of which are his intentions.

At this moment, Gu Mingzhu's heart was warm, and he didn't seem to have too many scruples and worries about this unfamiliar Cui Mansion, as if as long as he knew that he was there, everything would not be so difficult.

After a while, she was willing to pick up a piece of jade dew and put it in her mouth, so that the sweet taste would sink into her heart.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Mingzhu took Abi to the courtyard of the second room.

Second Mrs. Cui really deserves to be the lady of the Yuan family in Runan, and it is rumored that the Yuan family is the best at management, and the wealth accumulated over the past few hundred years is already rich and rivaled the country, so even a small banquet is richly arranged.

From the gate of the courtyard to open the cloth barrier, Lang Jun ladies were led by the maid from the cloth barrier to the golden scale pond water pavilion, to the edge of the pond to abandon the shore to board the blue boat, by a fisherwoman dressed as a servant woman to support the boat to row towards the water pavilion, enjoy the scenery of the smoke willow hanging on the shore in the late spring, only to be regarded as to the banquet.

Unexpectedly, a Cui Mansion was so vast and elegant, even Abi was a little shocked when he saw it, but he quickly restrained his emotions and bowed his head without revealing half a point.

Gu Mingzhu was comfortable watching the scenery, and did not hide her appreciation and praise, after all, she was the head of a century-old family, if Cui Mansion did not have such momentum and exquisiteness, it would be strange, so even if she had something, she didn't need to hide it.

On the water pavilion, several ladies of the Cui family had already been informed, and several of them came out together, and while giving Gu Mingzhu a salute, they quietly looked at her curiously.

They have already heard about Gu Mingzhu, not only do they know that she is the most valued Lingling County Lord by the Queen Mother, and she can be regarded as the one who is in power in the Six Palaces, and she is famous in the government and the opposition, and she is the marriage envoy of Cui Zheng's marriage this time, and the most important thing is that they have heard that Cui Wulang is because she refused to marry Zheng's Ayuan, but let her marry Cui Sanlang in the second room, so that there was this marriage.
