Accompanied by the old lady to play the leaf card for a long time, Gu Mingzhu's card skills have also made great progress, in the past, she only occasionally accompanied the Queen Mother to play for a while, but it was just a little fun, she didn't have to bother anything, winning or losing was just a pleasure. This time accompanied by the three old ladies and the eldest lady is different, the old lady has good card skills, the eldest lady is rigorous and careful, and the old ladies are also shrewd, but it makes her scramble, either losing the wrong card, or miscounting the number, or the whispered reminder of Abi behind him only to find out, which makes several old ladies laugh non-stop.

Just smiling, Xiaokui came in quietly and whispered in her ear: "Hongluan's grandmother is here, waiting outside the second gate to kowtow to the young lady and take her home." ”

Gu Mingzhu was holding the card in her hand, and she was worried that she didn't know which one to lose, and only then did she say: "Let them not have to come in and kowtow, lead people to go, and give one more gold, just say that it is the grace given by the house." ”

She had no intention of hiding it from the old lady and the eldest lady, but she happened to take this opportunity to say to the old lady: "...... It was Hongluan's grandmother who came to pick her up and sent her out with a reward. ”

Although it is said that the affairs of the Yusheng Courtyard are handed over to Gu Mingzhu, the old lady and the eldest lady have long known about the whereabouts of several big maids, and they are also very satisfied with Gu Mingzhu's arrangement, and said with a smile: "Since you have the intention to kowtow to you, you can go over and meet, after all, it is to serve by your side, and the affection of the master and servant is fulfilled." ”

The old lady even called the five old ladies who were sitting on the side eating tea: "Come on, I'm afraid that I will lose that little money, and I will come out for you." ”

The fifth old lady smiled, took the handmaid's hand over, and sat down on the couch given by Gu Mingzhu: "Where is it so shallow-eyed, you know me, your eyes are getting worse and worse, I'm afraid that I can't see the cards clearly, so I will make you wait for a long time." ”

The old lady instructed the maidservants beside her: "Go and help the fifth old lady watch the cards, so that she can play with peace of mind." ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't know that the old lady was going to let her go back to the courtyard, smiled and thanked several old ladies and eldest ladies and said goodbye, and took the maidservants back to Yusheng Courtyard.

Hongluan's grandmother is an honest person, and she bowed her head to Gu Mingzhu through the screen, and she didn't know what to say, she just muttered thanks, but Hongluan's eyes were red on the side.

She had already heard that Gu Mingzhu decided to take both Ziyuan and Liuxiang away, and they would never be the same again.

It's not that she is not bitter in her heart, but at this point, she has no other choice, she is not as impulsive as Zi Yuan, and she does not have the perseverance to stay in the Cui family, it is still the safest to stay in the Cui family, no one knows what will happen after Cui Wulang leaves the Cui family, she is just a maidservant, and she doesn't dare to think about it anymore.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the family outside the screen and asked them to get up with a smile: "...... Take the good family with you, and tell her a family affair with the rewarded money. ”

Hongluan's grandmother agreed, and Hongluan also gave Gu Mingzhu a big gift, and then withdrew.

Zi Yuan sent them out, looking at Hongluan, who was carrying a small bag and wearing short sleeves, she couldn't help it, and pulled her and whispered, "Why did you leave like this?" ”

Hongluan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I just want to be safe, and then you have to be careful with yourself." ”

She has something to say, these days, she has already understood Gu Mingzhu's temperament, and knows that she is not easy to fool, Zi Yuan is an impulsive character, not to mention that they have not followed Gu Mingzhu since they came, I am afraid that Zi Yuan's marriage will suffer in the future.

Zi Yuan didn't think so, she smiled at Hongluan and said, "As long as I do my best, the young lady will not treat us badly." ”

sent Hongluan away, and Cui Lin also returned to the courtyard.

“…… Father and Qilang will go to Boling the day after tomorrow, and the long house will follow the old lady back to Anping, and we will also pack up. Cui Lin asked Zi Yuan to help untie the cloak.

Gu Mingzhu was a little surprised: "So you have to go back to Anping soon?" ”

Seeing that it was coming to the New Year, the Cui family was in such a hurry to separate their families.

Cui Lin frowned, his face was a little tired: "The Queen Mother is about to ascend the throne, King Xian has already taken the throne a few days ago, and Sanfang is afraid that he will have to go to Chang'an before he ascends the throne." ”

The situation is pressing, and the Queen Mother is afraid that she will not give the Cui family too much time.

Gu Mingzhu nodded lightly: "I'll let people get ready." ”

Cui Lin looked at her gently, and said to her with a smile: "Luoyang has already been arranged, just waiting for us to pass." ”

For a long time, Gu Mingzhu never asked Cui Lin where she was going to take herself after leaving the Cui family, she knew Cui Lin, she was meticulous and the best at scheming, she must have been prepared, so she just had to wait with peace of mind, and she didn't worry at all.

"I heard that Luoyang's prosperity is not inferior to Chang'an, but the scenery and people are different, and I have always been fascinated." Gu Mingzhu sat down happily and looked at Cui Lin with a wink.

It is rare to see her childish side, Cui Lin's smile is full of pampering: "Luoyang peony is famous all over the world, and there is also the Luoyang Lantern Festival, if you like it, we have to go to the White Horse Temple to incense." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded again and again, she was already very yearning for going to Luoyang, but she quickly remembered it again, and said hurriedly: "Luoyang and Chang'an are not far apart, and there is Vientiane Palace in Luoyang, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will ...... her."

Cui Lin chuckled lightly, stretched out his hand and scraped the tip of her slightly upturned nose: "You can rest assured, I have already arranged it." ”

"The little is hidden in the wilderness, and the big is hidden in the city, not to mention that there are still a lot of things to appease after the Queen Mother ascends the throne, and she can't take care of us for a while, and she values the Boling Cui family more."

Gu Mingzhu thought about it, and said with a smile: "Luoyang, Boling, and Chang'an all have convenient transportation. ”

Cui Lin remembered what Gu Mingzhu said before, and coughed a little uncomfortably: "There is news over there in Dafang, I will ask him to call you back tomorrow." ”

It was to let the matter of finding relatives be settled, Gu Mingzhu was even more pleased, and thanked Cui Lin with a smile.

In the evening, the banquet arranged by the third room was very rich, the old lady may have been accompanied by the second old lady in the afternoon, her face looked much better, she sat on the table with a smile, the third lady was the host, and she personally poured soup for her on the side, she was also willing to give the third lady face, and she accepted it with a smile.

The second lady sat at the bottom seat, looking at the appearance of the third room, and was even more annoyed, because several old ladies in the clan were still there, so she had to sit with anger.

Only the eldest lady and Gu Mingzhu in the long room were still indifferent and stayed out of the matter.

After a banquet, the third lady received several words of praise from several old ladies, and the second lady was so angry that her face turned blue, and when it was time to say goodbye at the end, she forced out a smile: "Tomorrow, please invite the old lady and a few aunts to sit with me, and let me do my best." ”

The old lady glanced at her and smiled faintly: "Then it's hard for the second daughter-in-law." ”

Zheng Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, swept over Gu Mingzhu over there, and quickly lowered her head, still with a wooden look.
