Chapter 480: Meet Again
Zheng Yuan helped the servant girl to get off the Lan Zhou, her smile was gentle like a slowly flowing spring, which was just right to make people feel good, she stepped forward and grabbed Cui Siniang and Twelve Niang, who were going to give her a gift, and said softly: "What are you doing here, are you going to be separated from me?" ”
She used to walk around with the Cui family, and she was naturally very close to these ladies, not to mention that they also had a lot of admiration and trust for Zheng Yuan like Cui Ning in the past.
They were all full of joy, talking to Zheng Yuan, and Cui Ting walked beside her with bright eyes: "Sister Zheng arrived in Boling some time ago, and she never sat in the house. ”
Cui Wan is a little old after all, although her face is also full of smiles, but she noticed Gu Mingzhu and Cui Ning who were standing in the water pavilion and not coming close, the look on their faces was a little wrong, Gu Mingzhu was just plain, and she couldn't see her joy or anger, but Cui Ning's face had changed, and her eyes were all avoided, and she didn't dare to look over here, completely losing the enthusiasm and joy she had for Zheng Yuan.
What's going on? In the past, Cui Ning was the most affectionate to Zheng Yuan, why now......
Cui Wan suddenly remembered that her mother, Mrs. Cui San, mentioned the marriage of the Zheng family to herself, and said in surprise: "...... It's not that he married the long house, how did he become a San Lang in the second room. ”
"That's Cui Wulang, the son of the clan, can Cui Wei compare?" Mrs. Cui San shook her head, "Although they are all children of the Cui family, they are also worlds apart. How could the Zheng family agree to change their parents? ”
She thought about it for a long time, and she didn't know the reason inside, but she just told Cui Huan to pay more attention on weekdays, after all, the third room is not as good as the long room and the second room, Cui Huan's father Cui Sanlang is a real merry scribe, he eats and drinks and meets friends on weekdays, and he is not good at running a dot, and the industry in the third room is not as good as the long room and the second room, so the third room just wants to live in peace in the house, and he doesn't dare to think about those things.
Therefore, Cui Huan was also cautious in the Cui Mansion in the past, and thought a lot more than others in acting and talking.
She paused in her heart, and the smile on her face also subsided a little, before she said, "Go in and talk, the county lord and A-Ning are inside." ”
Zheng Yuan's expression was as usual, and he nodded with a smile: "I may not have seen them for a long time......"
As she spoke, she saw Gu Mingzhu and Cui Ning sitting on the couch in the water pavilion, looking at her with some indescribable complications, but Cui Ning and Gu Mingzhu couldn't see anything wrong, her eyes flashed, and she quickly smiled and curtled her knees: "County Lord." ”
After all, she is the eldest lady of the Zheng family, and Gu Mingzhu is not very supportive, so she bowed slightly and returned the salute: "Lady Zheng." ”
Cui Ning bit her lip at this time, and got up to greet Zheng Yuan: "Sister Zheng." ”
There is no previous intimacy, and his eyes are dodging, but the salute is in order, and it seems that he has indeed been taught well in the Cui clan.
Zheng Yuan pursed her lips and looked at her with a smile: "Look at A-Ning, now you have made great progress, I used to say that you were always unwilling, but now you really look like a lady from a family." ”
These words sounded like they were praising Cui Ning, but Cui Ting on the side was a little reluctant, she pouted: "In the past, Sister Zheng praised Ning Niang, and now she still praises her, are we not as good as her?" ”
She pursed her lips as she spoke: "She has returned to the clan, and by the old lady's side, she naturally has to learn the rules, and it was not like this before." ”
Cui Ning lowered her head a little embarrassed, she was afraid of being mentioned that she was sent to the clan to learn the rules.
Gu Mingzhu looked at Cui Ning's embarrassed appearance at the banquet, smiled and said: "Mrs. Zheng left Chang'an in a hurry, I didn't even get the news to send it, I heard that the lady has returned to Xingyang, and goodbye will be in Boling." ”
Zheng Yuan's steady smile has been a little distorted, her most reluctant is to let others mention this marriage, originally she was supposed to marry Cui Lin, and become the wife of the Cui family, but now she is going to be married to Cui Wei, who is unknown, but it is not her willingness, she was forced, and the mastermind behind the scenes is actually Cui Lin!
As soon as she thought about it, she felt indignation and hatred filled her heart, and she couldn't vent her hatred.
But she can't, she still has to put on a virtuous and generous appearance, at least let the Cui family feel that she is the most suitable candidate for the sect woman, she is the one who is worthy of the most outstanding Langjun of the Cui family, and make them regret it, especially Cui Lin, she has to remind him all the time how stupid it is to give up her choice of Gu Mingzhu.
Thinking of this, the brilliance on her face regained a little, and her voice was gentle and tactful: "Is it mine, I should have done something with the county lord, but because there was something in the clan, I left too hastily, and now I can see the county lord in Boling, which is really rare." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled and didn't speak again, but turned her head to Cui Ning and smiled: "I've only been in the house for two days, and I see that the scenery in the house is quiet and elegant, but I haven't walked around, can the Seventh Lady introduce me to one or two?" ”
Cui Ning was stunned, and quickly understood that this was Gu Mingzhu's kindness, to help her get out of the predicament in front of her, she couldn't help but glance up at Gu Mingzhu, and her heart was a little more grateful, and said softly: "Yes, I'll talk to the county lord." ”
Seeing that Cui Ning not only no longer hated Gu Mingzhu, but was much more affectionate to her, Zheng Yuan's eyes were cold, and she also talked to Cui Huan and Cui Ting with a smile, and from time to time she also said a few words to the ladies in the side branches of the Cui family, but she also looked very enthusiastic, as if she was still the lady Zheng with outstanding demeanor.
Cui Wan was talking to her, but her eyes glanced at Gu Mingzhu and Cui Ning on the other side from time to time, and many thoughts turned in her heart.
After sitting for a while, a few more Lan boats leaned towards the water pavilion, and the maidservants smiled and said, "Lang Jun is here." ”
The ladies in the water pavilion were busy getting up, and the children of the Cui family and the ladies were invited to this banquet, because they were all from their own families, so they were not so evasive, only Gu Mingzhu and Zheng Yuan, two outsiders, but they didn't know why the second lady Cui, who had always been shrewd, seemed to have forgotten this one, and also invited them to come together, only with a veil in the middle.
The Lan Boat led by the boat stopped at the water pavilion, and Cui Lin, Cui Yi and the other two Lang Jun came down together and walked towards the water pavilion.
Through the thin veil, Gu Mingzhu could clearly see Cui Lin's handsome and unrestrained face, he walked calmly and freely like a cloud and a breeze, walked to the couch and sat down in a robe, Cui Yi and the other two Lang Jun of the Cui family behind him were also outstanding, and stepped into the seat and sat down.
Zheng Yuan was also looking at the other side of the veil, her eyes fell on Cui Lin's cold and handsome face for a long time and couldn't move away, it was this person who made her remember for many years, but in the end, it was he who ended his thoughts, she hated, hated Cui Lin, and hated Gu Mingzhu!
