Chapter 405: Jealousy (Part 2)
Zheng Yuan also looked at Gu Mingzhu at this time, different from the Cui family sisters, she looked at Gu Mingzhu's radiant appearance, her heart seemed to be scraped by a knife, and her resentment made her body tremble a little, why, why could such an ordinary woman from a noble mansion get Cui Lin's heart, but she, a lady from a century-old family, could only be left out in the cold, and even when she came to leave the village, she had to say that she could only step into the door by saying that she would give Mrs. Cui a New Year's gift.
She already knew that Mrs. Cui had returned to Boling, and when she came, she specially wrote a letter to invite Mrs. Cui to come to Chang'an, but Mrs. Cui didn't even send her a message when she left, so she hurried back, and after returning to Boling, she just sent a message to the Zheng family in Xingyang, saying that everything was fine in Chang'an.
All the best! How could everything be fine! She's not good at all!
Cui Lin has this woman in his heart, and he wants to persuade the Cui clan to stop letting them make a family affair, which is a family affair that the clan has planned for a long time!
She didn't know what she had been hiding in the Zheng Mansion all these days, but when she saw Gu Mingzhu's more and more delicate face in the hall today, the resentment in her heart eroded her heart like gushing out of lava.
It's just that she still knows her identity, and she knows that she can't have a seizure, no matter how much she hates, she has to endure it, she sits on the seat with a wooden face, listening to Cui Xue and Cui Shuang, and she talks to Gu Mingzhu word by word.
“…… Chang'an's New Year's Festival is so lively, such a long team, we followed a long distance before coming back, it was really lively. "Cui Xue is a younger sister, not much older than Princess Anping, and she also regards watching the exorcism as her favorite and most lively thing, and when she talks about the customs of Chang'an with Gu Mingzhu, she can't stop talking.
As she spoke, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Shuangniang fell in love with a noodle, and she went out and bought it back." ”
Sister Shuangniang's temperament is not as lively as her sister, she is a gentle and steady person, listening to her, her face is slightly red, and she purses her lips and smiles: "I originally thought it was a gadget, and I didn't plan to buy it, but I saw that everyone in the team was wearing it, so I ...... it."
She was a little embarrassed, after all, the family's own upbringing was that a lady should act dignified and dignified, which was a bit rude.
Gu Mingzhu laughed: "I also bought noodles that day, and I wore them all the way, this is the custom of Chang'an, everyone wears it, even those elderly people also wear it, so as to be happy." ”
Saying this, Shuangniang felt less embarrassed, and said with a smile: "What the county lord said is true." ”
Gu Mingzhu asked about the mansion purchased by the Xu family again: "I don't know which market it is?" ”
Xu said with a smile: "In Daningfang, it is the mansion of Shi Lao Shangshu, the former Ministry of Industry, Shi Lao Shangshu has been there since he returned to his hometown, and the size of the house is appropriate, but the wing rooms and courtyards are a little old, and I am afraid that they will have to be renovated before they can be used." ”
Her words made Gu Mingzhu secretly surprised, she had been to Shi Lao Shangshu's mansion, in the past, when Shi Lao Shangshu had not left Chang'an, several ladies of the Shi family were also celebrities in Chang'an's Guifu, and often invited them to Shifu for a small gathering, and walked back and forth in the mansion a few times.
The mansion is very large, and the courtyard given by the emperor is comparable to the ordinary Guogong Mansion, and the furnishings are even more simple and elegant, which also makes the sisters of the Shi family add a lot of glory in front of other ladies.
But now Yangcheng Cui has bought this mansion.
Obviously, they just came to Cui Hai's family, and there are only a few dozen servants and servants, so they want to live in this mansion? I have to spend a lot of money to renovate, so cautious, it doesn't look like I want to live on my own.
Unless......
Gu Mingzhu was shocked, her face was even more flat, and she said to Xu Shi with a smile: "The lady has only come to Chang'an, and the huge mansion is afraid that it will take a lot of effort, I heard that there are a few craftsmen with good craftsmanship in Hulu Lane in the West City, and Mrs. might as well let people inquire about it, and I can't help it." ”
In her previous life, she helped Li Yu to take care of the Xian Wangfu, Li Yu loved to pay attention to elegance, and she also took care of it, and invited the best craftsman to help renovate and decorate the palace, so she knew this.
Xu Shi was taken aback, looking at this county lord's gaze was even different, he thought that this person with an extraordinary identity, that is, a lady who was pampered in your mansion and looked outstanding, maybe a little smart, so he was valued by the queen of heaven.
Now it seems that this person is not only superficial, looking at her words, I am afraid that I can guess their intention to enter Chang'an, so keen, it really doesn't look like a little lady.
She hurriedly smiled and thanked her, but her respect for Gu Mingzhu was a little more.
Seeing that they said yes, the atmosphere in the hall was getting better and better, and it was not too early, Cui Lin was afraid that he would bring Lang Jun over after a while, Zheng Yuan was a little anxious, and his face was even more gloomy.
Finally she moved, and looked at Gu Mingzhu slightly: "County Lord, today Linlang invited everyone to leave the village to enjoy the snow, I see that the snow outside has stopped, the snow scene is just right, why don't we go out with you for a walk." ”
The hall was quiet all of a sudden, and the mother and daughter of the Xu family, who were still talking and smiling, couldn't help but look at Gu Mingzhu, Cui Yu also frowned slightly, and glanced at Zheng Yuan with a calm face, very dissatisfied in her heart.
Originally, she came uninvited, but now she refuses to sit on the side, and she has to toss something, but Cui Lin specially invited her to take care of her, so she can't watch her do anything.
She was about to speak, but Gu Mingzhu chuckled: "If I remember correctly, Mrs. Zheng is afraid that it will be the first time to come back and leave the village, right?" ”
"How can I teach you to accompany me to see the snow scene, or let me accompany you to see it."
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, she heard Cui Lin say that leaving Zhuang was prepared by Cui Lin after he came to Chang'an, and only he and Cui Yi came to stay on weekdays, and rarely invited others to come, and Zheng Yuan never came.
Zheng Yuan's face turned crimson, and the shame made her a little unable to sit still, and it took a long time before she reluctantly said: "Then there is Lord Lao, please." ”
Gu Mingzhu also saw that she was afraid that she had something to say to herself, and she wanted to meet alone, this was Lizhuang, she was not afraid of what Zheng Yuan was going to do, so she simply looked at what she was going to say, so she got up and smiled with Cui Yu and Xu: "Let's go and go back, madam, the two ladies sit wide." ”
Cui Shuang was older after all, and saw that the atmosphere between Zheng Yuan and Gu Mingzhu was a little wrong, she lowered her head and didn't speak, but secretly speculated that Cui Xue, a little girl, was ignorant, and when she saw that the two ladies she liked were going out to enjoy the snow together, she said happily: "Then I ...... too."
Cui Shuang pulled his sleeves and coughed lightly: "It's cold and windy outside, and you are weak, so let's talk to A-Niang and the second aunt in the hall." ”
Cui Xue looked at her sister in a daze, and saw that her face was solemn, so she had to agree aggrievedly, sat in the hall and didn't go out, and watched the two go out of the hall and go to the garden.
