Chapter 525: A Different Cui Lin
Cui Lin looked at Gu Mingzhu, who was staring at him in surprise, her slightly open lips were delicate like a flower blooming at the beginning, her expression was a little cute at the moment, more like what she should look like at her age, and his smile couldn't help but deepen.
It wasn't until he found the smile on Cui Lin's face that Gu Mingzhu came back to his senses, his face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly turned his face away, biting his lip: "You, why are you here......"
Didn't you not let you meet, but you came over the wall to see her.
Could it be that there is something urgent? The heat on her face faded a little, and her composure returned, and she raised her eyes to look at him: "But what's the urgency?" ”
Cui Lin walked over to the mat under the swing with a smile and nodded: "Something." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at him with black and white eyes: "What's the matter, you are in such a hurry, it must be a very important matter." ”
Cui Lin looked at her with a smile, his eyes were as gentle as water: "See you." ”
Just these two words, as if it were a slightly drunk wind in a summer night, blew Gu Mingzhu's heart suddenly messed up, the heat that had already subsided climbed up her cheeks again, and her eyes were also flustered, she never thought that a person as cold as Cui Lin would say such warm words.
But he still stood there with a dignified and handsome demeanor, but his focused eyes were heartbreaking.
"But, but how can you ......" Gu Mingzhu stammered a little, feeling the heat of that gaze, full of joy in her uneasiness, and didn't dare to look at him, "How could you come in over the wall?" ”
Cui Lin saw her discomfort and shyness, looked at the scenery around with a smile, and spoke without hurrying.
Gu Mingzhu slowly calmed down, and instructed Abi to bring the green drink up and send it to Cui Lin, and sat down on the swing by herself: "The eldest lady is leaving the village?" ”
Mrs. Cui's appearance surprised Gu Mingzhu too, although Cui Lin reassured her, she also believed that Cui Lin would definitely make arrangements, but she really didn't expect that Mrs. Cui would come to make a gift for her in person.
Cui Lin bowed his head: "It is more quiet to leave the village." ”
But he didn't mention a word about how to persuade the Cui family to accept this marriage, and persuaded the Queen Mother to allow the marriage, and didn't mention a word about the conditions he used in exchange.
Gu Mingzhu looked at him, his heart was indescribable, sweetly moved and a little uneasy, waved his hand to let Abi and the others retreat aside, and then asked, "What did you say to the Queen Mother that day?" ”
She didn't squirm, she asked calmly.
Cui Lin looked at her and saw the undisguised worry in her eyes clearly.
"The rebellion of King Chen Liuwang was committed by the Lu family." Cui Lin didn't answer her, but said something that seemed unrelated, "The Lu family has handed over Lu Jun's branch to Dali Temple." ”
Gu Mingzhu was not surprised, the Empress Dowager would not let go of the rebellion of King Chen Liu easily no matter what, but frowned: "It's just a side branch of the Lu family?" ”
Cui Lin shook his head: "The Zheng family and the Lu family, together with many ministers in the court, sent a message to His Royal Highness King Xian, asking the Queen Mother to hand over the jade seal to King Xian and the ministers, and the court affairs were discussed by the ministers and asked King Xian to decide." ”
Gu Mingzhu had already heard about it, and her face paled: "They want the Queen Mother to hand over the power of the prison country." ”
"The Zheng family said that the king, there can be no more chaos in the Lu family, the Tang Dynasty is the Li family's world, the Yuan family has been in power for a long time, and the deeper the control over the government, the more troublesome it will be."
Cui Lin's words made Gu Mingzhu's heart move, and he looked at him: "King Xian believes it?" ”
Cui Lin also knew what Gu Mingzhu was worried about, and sighed: "Ma Yuanji has served as the envoy of the Annan Festival, and he will leave Chang'an in a few days to take office." ”
Gu Mingzhu's face changed and he was silent.
Ma Yuanji is the backbone of the Hou Party, since the Queen Mother was still in the Middle Palace, Ma Yuanji has been loyal, for today's situation has made great contributions, the Queen Mother did not treat him badly, let him be in the first class, almost comparable to Gu and Guo, and it was also when the first emperor was critically ill to support the Queen Mother, in order to save the situation.
But he didn't expect that he would be sent to Annan by King Xian at this time, although he was a party member of the festival, but it was not difficult for anyone to see that King Xian was only afraid that he was going to do something to the rear party.
Cui Lin looked at her: "I promised the Queen Mother, the Cui family will not sit idly by and watch such a situation." ”
That's the price?
Gu Mingzhu was a little confused, although it didn't sound like a problem, but she vaguely felt that the Queen Mother would not agree just because of this, although the Queen Mother did need the support of the family, but the current situation is not difficult to see that even if there is no marriage, the Cui family will not sit idly by and watch the Zheng family and the Lu family sit big, and take the opportunity of supporting King Dai Xian to strengthen their power, and the Cui family will not benefit in this matter, even if they follow the Zheng and Lu families, they are just picking up people's teeth.
Therefore, the Queen Mother will not agree to Cui Lin's marriage just because of this.
It's just that Cui Lin refused to say, and Gu Mingzhu had to swallow his doubts.
Cui Lin smiled very easily: "There are still a lot of things to deal with these days, but I'm afraid that I can't wait for you at the mouth of the alley all the time, so I can only think of coming to see you." ”
Hutongkou ......
Gu Mingzhu's face, which had returned to normal, became hot again, and she remembered that Cui Lin's carriage often stopped at the mouth of the alley, as if he met her inadvertently, he would accompany her.
She used to think it was just a coincidence, but she inevitably had some doubts about why she could be so coincidental every time, but at this moment, Cui Lin made it clear that she could no longer pretend to be confused.
Looking at Cui Lin's face with a little evil smile, Gu Mingzhu couldn't cry or laugh for a while, Cui Lin was afraid that no one had seen Cui Lin's appearance, who would have thought that the world-famous Cui Jiawulang actually had such a side in private.
But only she saw this side, Gu Mingzhu's heart was soft, like the wind in this summer night.
The night was dark, and Cui Lin got up: "What do you have to do, send someone to the shop in the West Market, and someone will deliver the news to me." ”
When he came here, he probably wanted to say a few words to himself, and let him tell him a few words.
Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips, lowered her head and said softly, "How are you going to get out?" ”
She called Ah Bi over: "Let someone open the side door and send Lang Jun out." ”
It's already night, and if Cui Lin calmly enters and exits from the main entrance, it is too eye-catching, although he is not afraid of what others say, he will still be inconvenient.
It's just that Cui Lin smiled and said, "No need, I'll just go back the same way." ”
Returning the same way is ...... Over the wall?
Gu Mingzhu looked at him in astonishment, looking up and down: "Did you really come over the wall just now?" ”
But his robe was snow-white, without the slightest trace of embarrassment, he really couldn't tell that he came in over the wall, and his face was calm and calm, and it was hard to imagine that he would do such a thing.
Cui Lin smiled: "It's okay, don't worry." He took a few steps outside before he said, "There are a few places where the wall of the west courtyard is quite low, so it's better to let people repair it." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at his back and was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he cry and laugh and ordered Ah Bi to let people repair it the next day.
