Gu Mingli sat on the couch with an expressionless face, ignoring Mao's kind inquiry, and refused to even accept the drink brought by the maidservant, just drooping her face and ignoring anyone.

Mao already knew her temperament, but he didn't take it to heart.

Gu Mingzhu glanced at Gu Mingli a few times, and saw that she was still stubborn, and didn't pay much attention to her, she came back this time to talk to Gu Qing about the marriage proposed by the Queen Mother before, and she had to refuse it anyway.

“…… In two days, the Yanguo Mansion was about to leave, and the fourth lady insisted on going to Yuzhou with him, the general was not relieved, thinking that she should come back, if there was any difficulty, it would not be good to say it in front of the people of the Yanguo Mansion, and this time it would be clear to come back. Mao turned his head to look at Gu Mingli, who was sitting on the opposite seat without saying a word, sighed and shook his head: "But she is still ......"

Gu Mingzhu glanced at Gu Mingli: "That's it, after all, it's what she thinks about, let her be." ”

It wasn't until Gu Mingyu came back that the main hall became lively.

Mao has a body, it is not good to walk back and forth and be tired, Gu Mingzhu let Mao rest and go to meet Gu Mingyu by himself.

Hearing that the Mao family had a body, Gu Mingli was also overjoyed, with a smile on her face, and hurriedly said, "...... Having a body is a big deal, can't be sloppy, I just have a pair of vintage ginseng, and some good medicinal materials, I'll go back and let someone send it over in a while. ”

Seeing that Mao was about to salute, he hurriedly stopped: "Second aunt, what are you doing, you can rest quickly." ”

She and Gu Mingzhu were like caring for treasures, and carefully invited Mao to rest on the couch.

Mao also knew that they were understanding that they had not been pregnant for many years, and they were afraid that they would miss something, so they were very moved, and they also knew that they didn't need to say thank you, they had gone through a lot of things together, and they didn't need to see outside, so they sat down calmly and let them arrange for them.

After listening to Gu Mingli's matter, Gu Mingyu also wanted to persuade her a few words, but Gu Mingli always looked like she was ignoring her, and she was even more determined to go to Yuzhou, and she couldn't listen to anyone's words, and there was even more sarcasm in her words, so Gu Mingyu had no choice but to give up.

"Your Highness sent you back?" Mao looked at Gu Mingli, although she was dressed brightly and luxuriously, but she couldn't hide her haggard eyebrows, and asked with some worry.

Gu Mingyu remembered the situation when Fang Cai walked with Li Mi along the way, and was a little distracted for a while, and then smiled for a moment: "Yes, Your Highness went to the front yard and talked to my father." ”

Mao laughed: "Your Highness is a considerate person, now there are many affairs in the DPRK and China, and the general is not in the house every day these days, only today he deliberately stayed, and His Highness came over in person, which is also sympathetic to you." ”

Gu Mingyu smiled and didn't answer, but his smile was inevitably reluctant.

Gu Mingzhu looked at her, frowned, and didn't say any more, but instead asked about the affairs in the palace: "...... The queen's funeral, the palace is in ruins, and the Shang Palace Bureau has also spent a lot of thought, but what is the difficulty? ”

Gu Mingyu hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Most of the palace servants on the other side of the court were lost and damaged in the rebellion, and now they have to choose to enter the palace again, although the court has always had rules for selecting palace maids, but ...... To pick such a large number of people, how can they be filled in time. ”

There are also regulations for the selection of palace maids in the court, and there will only be a selection every two years, and the palace maids who have reached the age will be released, and the new palace maids will be selected to enrich the court, and then sent to the halls to serve on errands.

And even if it is selected, it is only a minority, and there has never been such a short manpower, and it is impossible to select so many people to enter the court at one time.

Gu Mingzhu looked at her embarrassed appearance and smiled: "I have a way, you can see how it is." ”

"The drought in Huainan, the displaced people have poured into Jiangling, Xuzhou and other places, there have been four people's uprisings, the price of grain and grass has skyrocketed, I heard that the sale of women has happened from time to time, since the court is also about to choose people, it is better to kill two birds with one stone......

Before Gu Mingzhu finished speaking, Gu Mingyu already understood, and his eyes lit up: "This is a good way, choosing from the homeless people, which not only solves the urgent need of the court, but also helps many homeless people." ”

Gu Mingzhu chuckled: "Yeting has always chosen the good family sent by the state capital, this time it is better to be in a hurry, and it is a good thing to choose more people from all over Huainan." ”

Gu Mingyu nodded again and again.

Gu Mingli, who was far away, listened to them and sneered, but she was resentful in her heart, the two people in front of her were already people who were valued by the Queen Mother in the inner palace, but they were very different from them, not only were they disgusted by their in-laws, but their husbands were gone, and now they were bullied and squeezed by them in the house, and they deliberately showed off their power in front of themselves, which was really hateful.

At this time, Gu Mingli's whole mind was already distorted, no matter what others did, she only felt that she was harboring evil intentions and wanted to harm her and bully her, so she would rather go to Yuzhou with the Yanguo Mansion than stay in Chang'an.

After talking in the main hall for a while, Gu Qing and Li Mi also came over, and the hall finally became lively.

It's just that it didn't take long for the maid to hurriedly come in and say a few words in Mao's ear, and Mao's face suddenly changed.

She looked at Gu Mingzhu in a daze for a while, and it took a while to find her voice, and said in surprise: "Second lady, she is in front of the mansion ......."

Gu Mingyue! She's back!

After Gu Mingzhu was surprised, his eyes sharpened and returned to his normal color, but he didn't speak, just looked at Gu Qing.

She didn't know how Gu Mingyue would come back, could it be that Gu Qing wanted her to come back?

It's just that Gu Qing's face didn't look like this, he pondered for a while, and then said, "Let her in." ”

He also noticed Gu Mingzhu's questioning gaze, and said as if explaining: "She is your sister after all, and it's not good to let her be in front of the mansion, if you have anything to say, come in and say." ”

Although he doesn't fully know the matter between Mingzhu and Mingyue, he knows that his eldest daughter is not ruthless, which can be seen from the care of Mao and Mingyu, but Mingyue is also his daughter, and he was sent to Qinglian Temple for these days, and now that he is in front of the mansion, he can't completely ignore it.

Gu Mingzhu looked at Gu Qing's slightly helpless and weak gaze, turned her eyes away, and was silent, but she happened to see Gu Mingyu, whose face had changed greatly.

Gu Mingyu's whole body was tense, like a frightened little beast, looking out of the door in panic, as if he would see something terrible in the next second.

Could it be that Gu Mingyue's rash return has something to do with Gu Mingyu?

She pressed her stomach full of questions, sat on the couch and waited to see what Gu Erniang was going to do when she tried her best to come back.

Soon there was the sound of footsteps outside, the maidservant girl opened the curtain, and Gu Mingyue, who was wearing a lake blue plain half-arm skirt and a plain silver hairpin on her head, came in, looking at Gu Qing's eyes full of grievances and sadness, biting her lip and bowing down: "Father." ”
