Chapter 158: Taking Care of Yourself Most Important (Part 2)
Mama Deng's words made Gu Mingzhu put down the scroll in her hand, raised her head and glanced at her with interest: "Exorcism? ”
"Yes." Mama Deng stared at Gu Mingzhu's gaze and was a little uneasy, "The second lady went to the Miaoyin Temple to incense today, and when Master Jingzhen unsigned the sign, she said that it was the evil intrusion in the house that caused these many disasters, and the old lady asked the eldest lady to prepare a gift to send to the Miaoyin Temple, and invited the mage to come to the house to exorcise evil spirits." ”
A smile tugged at the corner of Gu Mingzhu's mouth: "It's rare to have such a thing." ”
Somehow, Mama Deng felt that there was an indescribable pressure to be stared at by Gu Mingzhu like this, as if she was facing an unpredictable danger, she could only tremble and say, "Yes, please also ask the eldest lady to arrange it." ”
The smile on the corner of Gu Mingzhu's mouth became bigger and bigger, and he finally raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, this is also a good thing, if you can drive away the evil spirits in the mansion, you can live in peace, I will order it." ”
Mama Deng breathed a sigh of relief and bent her knees and retreated.
Abi, who was waiting beside Gu Mingzhu, came forward worriedly: "Lady, what is the second lady going to do, I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”
Gu Mingzhu covered her mouth and yawned slightly, of course it was not simple, Gu Mingyue was not an easy person to deal with, but she didn't expect that she could still know about Miaoyinguan, and she actually had such a means, but she underestimated her.
She smiled and said, "Let someone send a generous gift to Miaoyinguan, and it is also a good thing to invite that mage over to exorcise evil spirits in our house." ”
Abi was surprised and said, "Do you really want to invite?" ”
Who knows if there is some calculation in this.
Gu Mingzhu said indifferently: "The old lady believes it, so naturally she has to ask someone to invite her, otherwise I don't know what will happen." ”
The general's mansion was busy driving away evil spirits, but Gu Yuan and Mao in the prison room of the yamen of the state capital were already miserable and had no way to ask for help.
Since two days ago, Mama Han brought people to send some food and clothes, and no one has ever seen them. The two of them were locked up in a cell waiting to be released, and at first they were asked several times about where they bought the fake spices, who was responsible for them, whether they were accomplices, and so on.
The two of them were confused, and asked where the spices were bought, Gu Yuan didn't dare to hide them at all, saying that they got the news from the Bao brothers in Xishi, and they helped buy the spices from Hu Shang, and they didn't know anything about it, as for the mastermind, Gu Yuan pushed all the brains on Mao's head, saying that he listened to Mao's words and bought spices and resold them into the palace.
When Mao was arraigned, he cried tears and snot, saying that Gu Yuan had made friends with the Bao family brothers and bought that batch of spices, and he didn't know about it, and he didn't have any masterminds, he was all blinded.
But when he heard that Gu Yuan said that he was the mastermind, the Mao family was completely wooden, and it took a while to come back to his senses, but he let out a heart-rending cry, crying and scolding Gu Yuan at the same time, scolding him for being wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, scolding him for being ungrateful, scolding him for being useless, and taking a woman to bear the blame!
scolded for most of the hour, scolding all the dirty words she could think of, before she was so tired that she shut up.
When asked about the same party, Mao hesitated, she thought of what Mama Han said before, and I don't know if Mrs. Gu was reluctant to save Gu Yuan and her, but Mrs. Gu also contributed money, if she really cares, she is also the same party.
She hesitated for a while, but she still didn't say anything after all, after all, now Old Madam Gu was their only hope, and she couldn't say that someone would soon take the money and silver to take them back.
But Mao's patience was slowly worn out little by little, seeing that no one took the money and silver to take them back, although the state government yamen did not move the punishment, but they were kept in the dark and stinking cell, she and Gu Yuan were full of hope from the beginning, after a few days of struggle, and finally completely died.
"A-Niang must be so angry that she is seriously ill, and she can't order someone to pick us up, otherwise she won't leave us here." Gu Yuan fell asleep on the hard plank, and said weakly, he didn't believe that the old lady who loved him the most would not care about his life or death.
Mao sneered: "No matter how sick you are, can't you even ask someone else to pick it up?" We've been locked up here for five days, can't we let people come for those five days? ”
Gu Yuan couldn't speak, he turned over and said in a low voice: "I have been eating vegetable soup and brown rice these days, my throat is about to break, where is the life of a person, when I return to the house, I will let the kitchen make a table of noodles, open a few jars of good wine and take care of it." ”
Mao didn't even want to pay attention to him, useless waste wood, only eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all day long, and when it was critical, he would take his wife's room to the top of the tank, if he didn't marry him, she couldn't have children, she didn't even want to look at him.
When the two of them were complaining to each other, the door at the entrance of the cell opened again, and someone came to this side under the leadership of the prison guard. ”
Mao's eyes lit up, and he jumped up and leaned on the narrow window to look outside, and sure enough, it was Mama Han, who came again with a maid carrying a food box.
"Mama, what about the old lady, didn't the old lady let someone take us back?" Mao didn't care about anything else, so he asked this.
Mama Han took the food box in the handmaid's hand, and looked at Mao with a sad face: "Second lady, the maid came to bring food to the two of you on the orders of the eldest lady, these days have wronged Erlangjun and the second lady, I am afraid that the food in this prison is not good, and Erlangjun and the second lady must be unaccustomed to eating......"
Mao interrupted her impatiently: "Why didn't the old lady send someone here?" Is she still sick? ”
Mama Han's face changed slightly, and she avoided Mao's gaze a little timidly, and said in a low voice: "The old lady's body is not yet well......
It's not good, it's already getting better! Mao was so anxious that he couldn't open the cell door in front of him: "Then why didn't she let people take us back?" ”
After all, Mama Han was forced to have no choice, sighed and said softly: "The old lady said that there are evil spirits in the house, and she was busy asking people to invite a mage to come to the house to exorcise evil spirits, so she ......"
Mao's was so angry that she fell back, where was Mrs. Gu sick, she had the heart to let people go to the mansion to exorcise evil spirits, and she never thought of letting people come to the yamen of the state capital to pick them up! It's clear that they were deliberately left here!
Yes, she must be reluctant to ransom them with her own money! The Mao family knows most about Mrs. Gu's miserliness, the three thousand gold has been lost, how could Mrs. Gu be willing to take money and silver to ransom people.
"Second lady rest assured, the eldest lady is still thinking about it, but the house is really ...... now" Han Mama also looked aggrieved, "These foods are still the use of the eldest lady, the eldest lady ordered to send them over to Erlangjun and the second lady first, how can you not let the two of you be wronged again." ”
Mao stood by the cell door in a daze, where did she have the heart to ask for food, she only knew that Mrs. Gu refused to save them, so they stayed in the prison to fend for themselves!
Or Gu Yuan heard that there was food, he got up in one go, stretched out his hand to pick it up, after he came to Chang'an, he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, where can he still eat coarse tea and light rice in prison, these days he has been tortured very sadly, and it is not bad to be able to eat a good meal.
Mama Han asked the maid to send the food box up, and then Yin Yin looked at Mao: "The second lady has been reduced, no one is happy in such a place, you still have to take care of yourself, what is more important than being safe and tidy, the second lady is relieved." ”
After a long time, Mao grinned, revealing an extremely ugly smile: "What Mama said is that it is most important to take care of yourself!" ”
