Chapter 348: Hooked (1st Update)
When Gu Mingzhu came over on the second day, Mao went out with a worried face, pulled her and said, "...... The old lady was really angry, and yesterday she tossed around in Songshou Courtyard for a night, decocting medicine and boiling tea, and it didn't stop until dawn. ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled faintly: "The old lady is angry with a few uncles and grandmothers in the clan, it's not worth it." ”
When the second lady listened, she also pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not worth it." ”
She said again: "It's just that the official messenger of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is afraid that he will come over again for a while, but how to reply." ”
Gu Mingzhu chuckled: "I'll go talk to the old lady." ”
When she entered Songshou Courtyard, when Mrs. Gu heard that she was coming, her face was long, and she angrily instructed Mama Deng: "Don't pay attention to her, see what else she dares." ”
Thinking that the day before, she actually ignored the affairs of the General's Mansion, and never regarded herself as a person from the Gu family at all, and she was really a white-eyed wolf, she really didn't mistake her.
Mama Deng was not confused, knowing that only Gu Mingzhu could help say a few words and calm down the affairs of the clan, so she had to persuade in a low voice: "Old lady, the county lord came over early in the morning, there is no way to help, you can't watch the trouble go to the Jingzhao Mansion court, even if the old lady is not afraid of those few, she should think about her own body." ”
Old Madam Gu's lips moved, she was not afraid of what a few old pious women from the countryside could do to her, after all, she was now an old lady of the dignified General's Mansion, but she couldn't be afraid of the clan, if it was really a letter of resignation written by the clan, she would be expelled from the Gu family, even if Da Lang would not drive her out, but what face would she have to see people again, and she would be ashamed to death.
After all, she snorted and turned over: "You let her in, I'll see what she has to say." ”
As soon as Gu Mingzhu entered, she saw the old lady Gu lying on the bed under the curtain, she turned her back to her and ignored her, she was not annoyed, she sat down with a smile, and asked Mama Deng who was waiting: "Is the old lady okay?" Looking at it, she was still in good spirits, but Mama was still panicked yesterday. ”
As she spoke, she looked at the old lady Gu on the couch as she wished, panting with anger, and her body was undulating: "I said, the old lady is doing it right, where will she be scared and sick, if this is spread indiscriminately, it will only be that the house has really done something shady, and her heart is empty." ”
According to what she said, if there is really anything wrong with herself, she is so frightened that she is so tired that she doesn't dare to ask the medical officer to come and see this night, lest someone say something, this time her head and chest are still hurting, and she can still open her eyes and talk nonsense, saying that she is looking at her own spirit, and she can also see that her spirit is not spiritual, and she is really a bad-hearted scourge!
She couldn't help but turn around and scolded Mama Deng angrily: "If you don't help me up, I'm afraid my bones will fall apart if I lie down again." ”
Gu Mingzhu was intimate and wanted to come up to help: "The old lady woke up, I came early and disturbed the old lady's rest." ”
Old Madam Gu shook off her hand angrily, and looked at the Mao family again: "If you don't clean it up, you will have to go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to reply in a while." ”
Mao's face shrank: "The old lady knows, where do I dare to go there again, if I really go, I am afraid that I will not dare to say a word, so I will admit it indiscriminately, no, this will not work." ”
As she spoke, she raised her forehead and asked the maid to support herself: "When I think of that, I have a headache, so the old lady will spare me." ”
Old Madam Gu was so angry that her face turned blue: "So what, if you don't go, the eldest daughter-in-law can't go even more, but who do you want to go?" ”
She suddenly thought of it, slowly turned her head, and looked at Gu Mingzhu: "It's better for you to ......"
Gu Mingzhu laughed: "I just came to see the old lady, since the old lady is fine, I should also say goodbye, the palace is still waiting for me to go back and reply, but I can't delay." ”
She took the hand cage sent by Abi and put it in her hand, then she turned around and glanced at the old lady Gu again, pursed her lips and smiled: "What's more, how can I interfere in the affairs of the house, the old lady said yes?" ”
After speaking, she ignored Old Madam Gu's anger and ugly face that was almost collapsing, Shi Shiran took the maidservant and walked out, so she didn't ask about it anymore.
After getting into the carriage, the sarcastic smile on Gu Mingzhu's face faded, and he instructed Ah Bi: "Go back to the palace, the second lady will help take care of it, as long as the old lady goes to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, please ask a few old ladies to come over." ”
The old ladies of the clan were settled in a house not far from the county lord's mansion, and Gu Mingzhu also ordered people to go over to serve, and greeted them very properly, but the people from the general's mansion who were looking for them everywhere were so busy that people turned their backs up.
The palace car entered the Taiji Palace and went straight to the Manna Palace.
Xu Siyan, who had already received the news, waited in front of the hall early, and when he saw her, he stepped forward with a smile and curtsied: "The county lord is back, and the queen of heaven has been reading." ”
Gu Mingzhu asked Abi to untie her cloak and put down the hand stove, and then walked to the hall with Xu Siyan with a smile: "Is Niangniang's body okay?" ”
Xu Siyan nodded and said softly: "Okay, I haven't been lying on the couch for the past two days." ”
The last bit of worry in Gu Mingzhu's heart also disappeared, although he had already known that the queen's illness was not in the way, he could never be completely relieved, and now it was a big deal.
When she entered the hall, she saw the queen of heaven standing by the flower shelf by the window and building plum branches, and although she had lost a lot, she was still dignified and noble.
Seeing Gu Mingzhu come in, she laughed: "Mingzhu, come and see this pot of plums, it was sent by King Xian two days ago." ”
Gu Mingzhu stepped forward and looked at the plum in the basin, the branches were strong and powerful, and after pruning, she was even more graceful, but she remembered that there was a pot of Sulan on the flower shelf before, which was still the queen's favorite in the past, but this time it was replaced by this pot of plum that looked very ordinary.
She sensed something, and said with a smile: "It's indeed good, deceive the frost and proud snow, and the gentleman in the flowers." ”
The queen smiled and used small silver scissors to cut another branch: "It's just that there are more idle branches, and they need to be pruned and cultivated well to become a landscape." ”
After looking at Na Lamei for a while, she put down the scissors, she took Gu Mingzhu to sit down on the couch, looked at Gu Mingzhu with a smile and said: "Yesterday, Lu Dingzhong, the regular attendant of the Yellow Gate, Xiao Ke, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and Du Zishan, the general of Mingwei, all went to the court, and they wanted to ask for a reward for Han Yan. ”
She pointed to a stalk of mutton fat jade Ruyi placed on the side, and smiled lightly: "This is what Concubine Han sent to the Manna Hall yesterday, saying that it was to be used to sleep with me, and I left it." ”
The Han family finally made a move, Gu Mingzhu lowered his eyes, chuckled, and glanced at the warm and flawless jade Ruyi.
