Old Madam Gu leaned on the mat, and the Liu family carefully knelt in front of her to beat her legs, and squinted at Gu Qing and Gu Mingzhu who came into the door: "This is a heart, you still remember my Songshou Temple, and you still know to come and take a look." ”

She glanced at Gu Qing, looked straight at Gu Mingzhu who was hanging her eyes behind her, and sneered: "Isn't this our eldest lady, I heard that the palace is going to give marriage, and I still have to marry to the Xianwang Mansion as a princess, I just want you to ascend to the sky in one step, but unfortunately, after all, there is no such blessing!" ”

Gu Mingzhu's face did not change at all, he still stood quietly, but Gu Qing's face became serious, and his voice became cold: "Ah Niang, Mingzhu is not engaged to marry, and His Royal Highness King Xian is a noble person in the palace, how can you say these words, wouldn't you have committed a great crime of disrespect, and you will ruin Mingzhu's reputation!" ”

Gu Qing had never pulled her face in front of Old Madam Gu and said in such a heavy tone, but it frightened Old Madam Gu, and when she heard about the crime of great disrespect, she felt a little uncomfortable on her face, gritted her teeth and said: "If she hadn't released these gossips herself, where would we start." ”

Gu Qing frowned and sat down on the seat, letting Gu Mingzhu sit down beside her, and then said, "Mingzhu is going to enter the palace tomorrow to meet me, and I will come to talk to you today." ”

Old Madam Gu sneered even more disdainfully: "Entering the palace is just a joy for nothing, what is there to say, not to mention that our Gu family doesn't have to point at her." ”

She glanced at the Liu family, who was bowing her eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes in front of her, and raised her eyebrows: "You and Erlang are still in their prime, and they will naturally have heirs in the future, so why bother with those who don't know what to do." ”

She smiled a little at this time, and said to Gu Qing: "I've thought about it for you, your daughter-in-law is not going to do it, and after a while, I will let someone do it for you, this time I have to find someone with a good family background, virtuous and virtuous, and I can also take care of the affairs of this house, I don't have to worry about you at this age, when the bride enters the door, I will also carry the Liu family as a concubine, and finally don't teach you to serve without a person who knows cold and hot......"

Gu Qing's face turned completely blue: "A-Niang, Mingzhu is still here......"

Where is there anyone who says this in front of the lady who has not left the cabinet, and there is no suspicion at all.

It's just that before Old Madam Gu could speak, Gu Mingzhu had already stood up, with a faint smile on her face, and she took a few steps forward to stop in front of Old Madam Gu's couch.

"What are you going to do?" Old Madam Gu was startled, looked up at Gu Mingzhu, looked at her gorgeous outfit, and the dignified and solemn look on her face, and became more and more puzzled, what is this scourge going to do!

Gu Mingzhu didn't answer, just raised his hand to his forehead, bowed down, bowed to Old Madam Gu three times before getting up, retreated to the side, and bowed to Gu Qing again, before speaking.

"It seems that the old lady has something to say to her father, so I will retire first." Her eyebrows were calm, and the other party ignored what the old lady Gu said.

The corners of Old Madam Gu's mouth twitched, she really didn't understand what Gu Mingzhu was going to do, but she was very willing to make this scourge disappear from her eyes, she waved her hand impatiently: "You don't have to stay here, you don't have to look at it and make me angry." ”

This sentence made Gu Qing's heart tremble, and he glanced at Old Madam Gu, but he sighed after all when he looked at Old Madam Gu's much older appearance, and turned his head to Gu Mingzhu and said, "Go back, I'll send you to the palace tomorrow." ”

Gu Mingzhu's faint smile never disappeared, and she bent her knees at Gu Qing: "Thank you, father." ”

This sentence of thanks is so unfamiliar, it is obviously the flesh and blood of the dearest, but now it is......

Gu Qing closed her eyes, and it took a long time to suppress the sadness in her heart, but when she raised her head again, she was no longer Gu Mingzhu, she was already gone.

Old Madam Gu was still chattering and talking about her plans with interest: "...... Erlang is also a bad one, because his daughter-in-law Hu Lai, she was also bad before, and she had to plan for him...... You can't be sloppy, you have to pick someone from a good background, and you have to abide by the rules to know what is good or bad......"

Her words were fragmented and surrounded in Gu Qing's ears, but Gu Qing didn't listen to them at all, just looked at the pot of beauty chrysanthemums on the desk that was about to bloom in a daze.

Originally, it was all good, and everything was good at the beginning.

Gu Mingzhu, who returned to Dongfu, looked very peaceful, she asked Abi and Xiaokui to help her change her clothes and sit on the couch.

There is a person who has been seriously ill for many years hidden in that house, the Luo family has a terrible secret that cannot be told to anyone, the eldest princess of Xuanyang has already begun to prepare for the future before giving birth, and all of them seem to be irrelevant, but Gu Mingzhu intuitively feels that there seems to be something related to this.

"Lady, Mama Lin will talk back."

Gu Mingzhu collected her thoughts at this time, sat up straight, and nodded to invite Mama Lin in.

Mama Lin is the old man left by the eldest princess of Xuanyang back then, and she has served in the mansion for many years, and now she is in charge of the chores in the mansion, and she has to come in every once in a while to talk back to Gu Mingzhu.

"The lady is fine," Mama Lin entered the door and saluted Gu Mingzhu respectfully.

Gu Mingzhu nodded and said absentmindedly, "What's the matter?" ”

Mama Lin didn't know how to speak, so she turned her face and glanced at Mama Han on the side, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Mama Han sighed, knowing that she was not easy to talk about this matter, so she walked to Gu Mingzhu's side and said softly: "Lady, it should be the birthday of the lady in more than a month, in previous years, there was no wine to celebrate, Mama Lin came to ask if it was the same this year." ”

Gu Mingzhu's hand was stunned, and he came back to his senses in an instant, what these two grandmothers wanted to ask was not whether she would congratulate her on her birthday, but what she wanted to do about her mother's death.

After all, her birthday is A-Niang's death.

In the past ten years, she has never had a birthday, and every year she remembers that she wants to sacrifice to A-Niang, and she almost forgets that she still has a birthday.

She smiled bitterly: "It's still the same as in previous years, but let's prepare one more this year." ”

This year is no longer the same.

Mama Han and Mama Lin hurriedly agreed, this year's money is no longer in the hands of Xifu, and it doesn't hurt to be richer.

Mama Lin sighed even more: "Over the years, Xifu has used the money and silver from the sacrifice to worship the death of the first emperor, and the eldest princess has a lot less, and this year it will not be like this." ”

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and said to Mama Han: "It seems that the death of the first emperor and A-Niang is not much faster?" ”

Mama Han nodded: "It's just more than ten days away, so in previous years, Xifu was also prepared." ”

Gu Mingzhu's face froze, as if he had thought of something.
