272 Woe to the East
Lin Xiangqi walked in, followed by a middle-aged woman he had never seen before, in her early forties, wearing a purple gown, with a golden phoenix spreading its wings on her head, two golden hairpins on her temples, and two emerald jade bracelets on her wrists. Lin Xiangqi skimmed Gu Yiqing, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you come over to meet Madame." ”
Madam, could it be said that this is Lin Xiangqi's stepfamily, and this lady doesn't take him and his sister seriously at all. Otherwise, they would not have stayed in the prime minister's house for many days, and no one had ever sent to visit them. Originally, Gu Yihui thought that since the Lu family didn't ask them, they would send them to the door by themselves, and they couldn't lose the due courtesy. was stopped by Gu Yiqing, since the Lu family didn't want to see them, why did they bother to give the Lu family face, besides, they were the relatives of the first wife Gu Jue.
The Lu family did this, and it was also embarrassing for Gu Jue. If they took the initiative to come to the door to ask the Lu family for peace, so that Gu Jue under Jiuquan would not have any face, and was persuaded by Gu Yiqing like this, Gu Yihui would break off this idea. In addition, Gu Yiqing also had his own plans, let Lin Xiangqi see what kind of person the stepfamily he married back was, and he couldn't tolerate the relatives of the first lady to come to the house as guests, so he had to suspect another thing.
"My nephew has seen my aunt." Gu Yiqing respectfully leaned over to salute the Lu family, but a mouth was his aunt, when the Lu family heard this, a trace of yin fowl flashed in his eyes, and the anger towards Gu Yiqing in his heart suddenly surged into his heart. The fierceness in her eyes was almost impossible to hide, but she still quickly covered it up, and said with a soft smile: "Come, get up, I've been unwell these days, and I've been recuperating in the house, this is my aunt's gift to you, take it quickly." ”
Lu Shi explained with a smile why she didn't see the Gu family brothers and sisters. As soon as she said this, if Gu Yiqing continued to entangle because of this, it would mean that he was unreasonable. Who made Lu Shi feel uncomfortable, his fist under his sleeve was clenched, and Lu Shi took the jade pendant from his body and handed it to him. Lin Xiangqi lazily held the teacup on the table, slowly pursed his lips and drank it, he had no intention of interfering at all.
Lu's arrival disrupted his thoughts, and he had to think carefully about how this matter should end. Since she is here, it must not be a good thing, Lin Xiangqi has been married to the Lu family for so many years, and she is still very clear about her temper. Not long after Gu Yiqing took the jade pendant, Lu Shi said to himself: "Yiqing, since Sister Gu and I are both the wifes of the master, and you are also my nephew, I, as an aunt, have to say a few words about you."
When you and your sister came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you didn't take the initiative to see my aunt, or did you not regard me as your aunt at all. Of course, I don't expect you to treat me as my aunt, after all, my sister is irreplaceable, and I am also self-aware. As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk handkerchief, as if he was about to have tears if he continued to speak.
Gu Yiqing unconsciously looked at Lin Xiangqi, but he only lowered his head to drink tea, and he didn't notice his request for help at all. He didn't know how to deal with the Lu clan at all, and the Gu Yiqing she said had no power to resist at all. "Auntie, you misunderstood, no." Gu Yiqing said this for a long time, and Lu Shi smiled faintly: "Yiqing, oops, don't take it seriously, I was joking with you just now."
What I'm going to say next is the right thing, just now Aunt Zhou went to my yard and actually said that she wanted me to be the master of a lowly maid, isn't it a joke? Sir, you say, aren't you? At this time, the Lu family didn't forget to put on small shoes for Aunt Zhou, and Aunt Zhou actually wanted to let her make a move, which was exactly what she wanted, not to mention, but also to make Lin Xiangqi deepen her dislike for her, and she had no reason not to do it if she killed multiple birds with one stone.
Gu Yiqing was embarrassed by Lu's words, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and get into it immediately, never to come out again. With Lin Xiangqi, he can beg for mercy, but in the face of the Lu family, he can't do it, and the dignity of the Gu family does not allow him to bow his head in front of the Lu family. At this time, Lin Xiangqi still refused to speak out to help Gu Yiqing, which made the Lu family a little surprised, could it be that she guessed wrong, Lin Xiangqi didn't want to suppress this matter?
Lin Xiangqi was still ruthless after all, seeing that the Lu family was so difficult for Gu Yiqing, he suddenly reached out and put the teacup on the table in the quiet room, making a banging sound, attracting the eyes of Gu Yiqing and the Lu family. The subordinates guarding the door buried their heads in their chests, looked at their noses and noses, and couldn't listen to anything, which had nothing to do with them.
Lu Shi didn't say more, just waited for Lin Xiangqi to speak, if he didn't speak, this play would not be able to be sung. Gu Yihui was so nervous in the house, walking back and forth in the house, I don't know what the situation is now. Who is it and what is the purpose? But don't be Aunt Zhou, Gu Yihui is in the house, but a heart has already flown to Gu Yiqing's house, and she can't wait to hide outside the door and eavesdrop.
Just now she quietly looked at the window, and there were people outside the door, but she still rested and waited for news in the house. This taste is not comfortable at all, Gu Yihui really wants to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion with Gu Yiqing, and Gu Mingrui is transferred back to the capital, I am afraid that there is no hope.
Gu Yihui drooped her head dejectedly, her eyes were red, she was not stupid, she knew that this matter was not so simple, Gu Yiqing, who had always been respectful and polite, would never be so confused. When the Lu family left arrogantly, Gu Yiqing knelt down in front of Lin Xiangqi with a plop, "Uncle, I'm sorry for making you embarrassed." ”
This matter is indeed his, and the undisguised smile and malice in Lu's smile just now are clear to him. He can't wait for time to come back, and he will definitely not be so reckless and neglected to take precautions. Before he came, his father had told him to be careful of the current Mrs. Xiangfu, she was not their aunt, and she was not kind to them at all, waiting to watch the jokes of the family.
He just bumped into her muzzle, although Lin Xiangqi didn't make a clear statement just now, but since the Lu family came to the door, I am afraid that it will not be easy to end. The more people who know, the harder it is to suppress it. Even if Lin Xiangqi is the prime minister of the dynasty, he can't block everyone's mouths, and everyone will be ruined. The fist under the sleeve curled up, restraining his temper, and he couldn't make Lin Xiangqi angry at this time and lose his help.
He was afraid that he had no hope of begging Lin Xiangqi to transfer Gu Mingrui back to the capital, as long as he could suppress this matter, he would be satisfied. "How can I help you?" Lin Xiangqi's words were like a basin of cold water poured from head to head, and Gu Yiqing's heart was cold and cold. Gu Yiqing slowly opened his mouth and said slowly: "Uncle, I'll marry her!" ”
In this way, I am afraid that this matter will be suppressed, he is going to marry Luzhu, and Gu Yiqing will think of an idea. Lin Xiangqi slapped his palm on the table, "Confused, how can you marry a lowly maid when you are the second son of the dignified Gu family?" Gu Mingrui and his wife had a lot of complaints about him because of Gu's death.
For so many years, they have almost no contact, so he neglected to care about Lin Dongxian, and let the Lu family and the gang in the backyard have a chance to attack her. Lin Xiangqi did not resent himself for neglecting him and Gu's only daughter Lin Xiangqi, but shirked the responsibility to Gu Mingrui and his wife. If they knew, they might pull their necks and scold Lin Xiangqi.
But now that Gu Yiqing is a junior, he can only plead with Lin Xiangqi that he must not marry Luzhu. "I need to think about this matter, don't go anywhere these days, just stay in the house, don't go out and make trouble for me again, otherwise I won't care about you anymore." Lin Xiangqi threw down this sentence and raised his feet to leave, Gu Yiqing heard this, his face showed unbelievable ecstasy, as if grasping a life-saving straw, his eyes lit up again, as if he was resurrecting, he tried his best to seize the opportunity in front of him, and almost immediately got up from the ground.
Standing up tremblingly, ignoring the pain in his knees, he chased to the door, and said excitedly: "Uncle, thank you!" "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank your aunt, who let you have a good aunt." So far, he has never forgotten it, Lin Xiangqi replied without replying, and then flicked his sleeve robe and disappeared in front of Gu Yiqing's eyes.
Lin Dongxian sat at the table with her hands on her cheeks and looked at the roses blooming in the corner of the wall outside the window, she missed Lin Zhiping, Wu and Lin Xuan who were far away in Qingping Village. Of course, she will not forget her mother Gu Shi, who gave birth to her, everything is normal in Pingbohou Mansion at the moment, there is nothing abnormal, she is going to go to Gu's grave tomorrow to worship her. By the way, let's see if I can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Yihui said that they came to the capital to look for relatives.
I'm afraid it's not that simple, there must be something else hidden in it. This is also what she just thought, if she thought about it on the road, she could also probe Gu Yihui's tone. Wu Guowei is getting more and more attention from Ping Bohou, which is a good thing for her. In the Pingbohou Mansion, she became more and more respected by her subordinates, who let Wu Guowei obey her. Even if Aunt Qing has a grudge against Wu Guowei, she is helpless.
After all, Ping Bohou has not yet reached the point of being dizzy and confused, and her sanity is still there, so she doesn't have to worry about it at all. "Lin Dong, Aunt Qing wants to see you." Suddenly a purple-clothed guy walked in to interrupt her thoughts, Lin Dongxian quickly stood up, looked him up and down, and said slowly: "Aunt Qing wants to see me?" ”
"Well, you hurry up and come with me, if you make Aunt Qing unhappy, then Master Hou will blame me, and I can't afford it. Don't think that if you have a young master to support you, you dare not listen to Aunt Qing's words! The little girl in purple was worried that Lin Dongxian would not go over, so he scared him with a straight face.
Aunt Qing repeatedly explained that she must invite Lin Dong over, if she can't handle this matter, I'm afraid that she will inevitably be punished by Aunt Qing, not to mention that she won't even have a reward. He didn't want to run in vain, so he deliberately kept a straight face. Lin Dongxian smiled and said: "I didn't say no, you don't scare me with Aunt Qing, I am the person next to the young master, and Aunt Qing is just a concubine." ”
There was a smile on his face, but there was a cold air in his eyes. When the purple-clothed little girl heard this, her face was as black as the bottom of the pot, "You dare to say that Aunt Qing, even if she is a concubine, she is better than Mrs., she has a false reputation, it is better to vacate the position of the main wife and let Aunt Qing do it!" In this way, those of them who are subordinates can also follow Aunt Qing's light, as the saying goes, one person can ascend to heaven.
Lin Dongxian smiled lightly, clasped her arms with her hands, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at the purple-clothed little girl a little worried, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Lin Dongxian before she could take it back. Suddenly, he was kicked a few times from behind, but he didn't stand firmly, he staggered and fell to the ground, and scolded without raising his head: "Who is it, so bold, who dares to hit me?" ”
He can finally speak by Aunt Qing's side, and now Aunt Qing is favored by Ping Bohou, who is not afraid of death, and dares to attack him from behind. After speaking, he raised his head and looked, he didn't know this look, he was startled, his body suddenly retracted two steps back, and the person in front of him was actually Wu Guowei. The Xue family is still alive, and Aunt Qing is thinking about her position as a wife, which is really good!
Looking at the angry Wu Guowei, the purple-clothed little guy knew that he was guilty of too much, and hurriedly ran to him to beg for mercy. Of course, Lin Dongxian had already seen Wu Guowei coming towards him, so he deliberately caused the little girl in purple to resist, and said these words from his mouth, and then he was going to stab this matter to Ping Bohou. Although Aunt Qing can't be let fall out of favor for a while, it is enough to make Ping Bohou dissatisfied with her.
No matter how slowly I figure it out, I believe that it won't be long before Aunt Qing will have no place in Pingbohou's Mansion. Aunt Qing was still lying on the couch and waiting for Lin Dongxian to come over, but she didn't wait for Lin Dongxian to come, but waited for Ping Bohou, and the maids who were beating Aunt Qing's legs and rubbing her back hurriedly leaned over to greet him. Pingbohou eagle's eyes narrowed slightly, "You all retreat!" ”
The tone in which he spoke made Aunt Qing's heart shrink suddenly, and then she sat up, winked at the maids, and told them to quickly retreat. The maids came out, Ping Bohou walked in front of Aunt Qing with her hands behind her back, she leaned over delicately and prepared to say goodbye, deliberately covering her chest with her hands, the sword on her body had not completely healed, which was another reminder to Ping Bohou.
"Concubine, please say hello to the master." Aunt Qing's gentle voice sounded in Ping Bohou's ears, if it was as usual, Ping Bohou would not let Aunt Qing lean over to greet him, and he would have stopped her when she got up. The delay in speaking today shows that Aunt Qing is angry with him. Aunt Qing asked herself if she hadn't gone to Xue's trouble, which made her unhappy and kept her in her heart.
As for Wu Guowei, she didn't even think about making trouble with him, and now Ping Bohou's attitude towards him is slowly changing. If she insists on making trouble with Wu Guowei, she will not be able to get along with Ping Bohou and oppose him. What she lives on in Pingbohou's Mansion is Pingbohou's favor, if she even loses this, how will she live in the future? She knew that she couldn't make a move against the Xue family and Wu Guowei for the time being, so she could stop in moderation.
Ping Bohou's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, she was spinning rapidly, she definitely didn't do anything to make Ping Bohou angry recently. So what is he doing like this? Aunt Qing was full of doubts, but she still raised her head and looked at him with a smile on her face. Ping Bohou was already sitting at the table at this moment, picking up the tea cup on the table and slowly pursing his lips and drinking it, without the slightest intention of talking to Aunt Qing.
