Xiao Kui told Gu Mingzhu about the news she had inquired about: "...... Even Geng Ti sent it over, this time the Duchess of Yanguo just came to take a look, but I was afraid that even if I didn't see it much, it was settled, just waiting for the house over there to send a small thing. ”

Gu Mingzhu frowned, she knew that if she hadn't taken the reassuring pill, the Duchess of Yanguo would not have boarded the door of the General's Mansion again, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, the Liu family was afraid that she wanted to finalize Gu Mingyu's marriage before Gu Qing returned to the mansion, and then she would be able to cook raw rice and mature rice, and even Gu Qing would hinder Gu Mingyu's reputation and couldn't easily withdraw from the marriage.

She asked Xiaokui: "Then Feng Liulang has never been able to say that it is a family matter?" ”

Xiaokui shook her head: "No, I heard that the Duchess of Yanguo also asked people to go to several noble mansions to try it, but they didn't respond, but I am afraid that they will not be able to take a fancy to it." ”

Gu Mingzhu sneered, even if you try your best to cover up such a thing as a good man, it is difficult to completely hide people's eyes and ears, as long as you inquire carefully, you will know, not to mention that Feng Liulang was originally withdrawn from the family affair, if the woman did not notice this matter, how could she risk ruining the reputation of her own lady and withdraw from the family affair.

However, Mrs. Gu repeatedly hit the idea of the Yanguo Mansion on the family matter, she clearly wanted to get the power and dowry of the Yanguo Mansion, so she could treat the granddaughters of her relatives as goods that could be bought and sold, and she had to be sent to the mansion to be punished.

Xiaokui is right, Geng Ti has changed, even if it can't be seen, I am afraid that the Duchess of Yanguo will not hesitate, after all, it is also an excellent marriage to be able to marry the Gu family's wife, and in the eyes of the Yanguo Mansion, which is difficult to kiss, I am afraid that there is no better.

And the Gu family will not withdraw from the marriage, how can Mrs. Gu and the Liu family give up what they have worked so hard to do.

She frowned, knocked lightly on the desk, and suddenly asked, "What kind of entertainment has been going around in the General's Mansion recently?" ”

Xiao Kui thought about the news she had inquired about from the General's Mansion before, and nodded: "Some time ago, it was the birthday banquet of the old lady of Nanyang, and the old lady went there in person, and the wedding banquet of the Jinhe County Mansion was also moved. ”

Gu Mingzhu listened to these two, neither of them seemed to have anything to do with the Liu family, and asked again, "But is there anything else?" ”

Xiaokui thought about it, and suddenly remembered one: "There is also a Chinese scholar Lang Lu Fu who also sent a post, but the old lady never went over, but just sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, but Aunt Ping asked, and let another gift be added." ”

Gu Mingzhu's eyes lit up, and it seemed that this was it: "Zhongshu Shilang Lu Mansion? ”

She couldn't remember who this was for a while, just because a four-grade Chinese scholar was not a major minister in the court, and it was no wonder that Gu Mingzhu didn't remember this person.

"It is said that he only entered Beijing from Taiyuan Mansion some time ago, and it happened that Mrs. Lu had a big birthday and posted a post in Chang'an Guifu." Xiaokui has always loved to inquire, so she wrote down everything, "I heard that those who are still related to the Yanguo Mansion are distant relatives." ”

Yes, that's it.

Gu Mingzhu settled down and instructed Xiao Kui: "Go and inquire clearly, what is the situation of the Lu family." ”

It seems that what the Liu family is trying must be this Lu family, but I don't know what it is for.

Mao took the maidservant girl to the county lord's mansion, saying that he was here to greet Gu Mingzhu.

It's just that as soon as she entered the door, Mao's bowed uprightly, she has always been shrewd and spicy, and she no longer has the slightest strong heart this time, and she saluted Gu Mingzhu sincerely.

"Thank you county lord, if it weren't for the county lord speaking for me, I would only be afraid that I would be bullied and left in Qingxue Courtyard to be trampled by them!" Mao's rare soberness, what happened these days made her understand, with the connivance of Old Madam Gu, even Gu Yuan, who was obedient to her in the past, has changed her mind, and if she continues like this, she is afraid that her status in the Gu family will be in jeopardy.

Her mother's family is just Qingzhou Jiupin County, and now she can't help at all, she originally thought that she was afraid that she could only be driven back to Qingzhou, but at today's flower viewing banquet, she finally understood that she could only rely on Gu Mingzhu, as long as she relied on Gu Mingzhu, she would be able to live steadily in this general's mansion.

Not only can she be the second lady of the scenery, but she has also become the head of the house, and now even the old lady Gu does not dare to embarrass her clearly, and she has to reluctantly say to others that she is in charge.

So this time, she strangled to death the heart that was strong in the calculation of that idea in the past, and sincerely thanked Gu Mingzhu, and in the Gu family in the future, I am afraid that she will have to rely on Gu Mingzhu's support to survive.

Gu Mingzhu looked at her, but smiled: "Second lady, what are you doing, please get up." ”

asked Abi to step forward and help Mao get up, and then asked her to sit down on the couch.

Mao stopped going around in circles, and said frankly: "If it weren't for the county lord and me today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stay in the Gu family for long. ”

She doesn't shy away anymore, in her heart, Gu Mingzhu's mind and intelligence are no longer an ordinary boudoir lady, so there is no need to hide it.

Gu Mingzhu was really not surprised, but just asked Xiaokui to bring the tea soup to Mao's side: "What is the second lady's plan next?" ”

Mao smiled bitterly: "I just hope to live in peace in the house." ”

Gu Mingzhu raised his eyebrows: "That's just afraid it's difficult." ”

"Now the second lady is the head of the house, although I said a few more words, but it is also the identity of the second lady there, the name should be the head of the house, if you only look forward to Ansheng, then in a few days, the old lady is afraid that she will find a way to take the middle feed, and then I am afraid that there is no way to return to the sky."

Mao's face changed, and she looked at Gu Mingzhu uneasily: "What does the county lord mean ......?"

Gu Mingzhu smiled brightly, and gently pulled a strand of broken hair that fell on her cheeks behind her ear: "The second lady is willing to let others handle it like this?" Are you willing to be a housewife in name only? Or do you want to let the old lady stuff people into the yard and wait for Erlang to take the letter of resignation and send you back to Qingzhou? ”

Her words stabbed Mao like a needle prick, and she almost jumped up, but she could only press and sit unwillingly: "Naturally...... No! ”

Gu Mingzhu's eyes fluttered, and he nodded: "That's right." There are too many pickled things in the mansion over there, and if they continue to act recklessly, the Gu family will be ruined. ”

She slowly raised her head, and her eyes were shining: "Although I am not the eldest lady of the Gu family now, I am still from the Gu family, I can't let them go anymore, it's time to clean up." ”

She turned to look at Mao: "It's up to the second lady to help me." ”

Mao was taken aback, and nodded again and again: "I listen to the county lord." ”
