Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Mingzhu slowly led people to Xifu, Abi held a lacquered wooden plate in her hand, which contained the birthday gift she had prepared, and she couldn't see anything when she covered it with brocade.

It's just that I crossed the covered bridge and entered the side gate of Xifu, and I heard someone on the side come up to greet me with a smile: "Big sister is here, I'll wait for big sister for a while." ”

Gu Mingzhu turned her head and saw Gu Mingli coming forward to salute her with a smile on her face, she was dressed in a pink light gauze half-arm skirt with rouge and a bouquet chest skirt, and the double buns on her head in the past were also replaced by pretty snails, with pearl headbands, although she was not as outstanding as other ladies in the house, she also had a beautiful posture, and she was obviously well-dressed.

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and smiled: "Why didn't Liniang go to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, but came here to wait for me?" ”

Gu Mingli also looked at Gu Mingzhu carefully, different from her carefully dressed up, Gu Mingzhu was dressed in a half-new lotus-colored woven silver Xiangyun half-arm skirt, with a runny waist tied around her, but her face was as delicate as a hibiscus out of water, and her face was dazzling without fat powder.

She was stunned for a while, and after a while, she slowly lowered her head, stared at the hem of her skirt, and said softly: "The third sister doesn't go out these days, so I just sent someone to ask, she hasn't gone over, and I really don't dare to ...... alone That's why I thought about going with my big sister. ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at Gu Mingli's appearance, her heart moved slightly, but she smiled calmly on her face: "Since this is the case, then let's go and congratulate the old lady on her birthday." ”

Gu Mingli raised her head and smiled shyly, and followed closely by Gu Mingzhu's side: "Big sister hasn't come to the West Mansion these days, I originally thought of going to the East Mansion to ask the big sister for peace, but A-Niang said that there are a lot of things in the house these days, so let me not disturb the purity of the big sister, and said that if I think about it sincerely, the big sister will know." ”

Gu Mingzhu replied softly, the smile on her face was still warm, but her eyes were deep and difficult to distinguish.

Since the incident of beating Gu Mingyue, Liu's mother and daughter have been cautious, although they have never had any contact with Gu Mingyue again, but Liu's family went to serve Mrs. Gu all day long, and quietly went to the front yard to send clothes and food to Gu Qing, and from time to time sent Gu Mingli over to Gu Qing to talk, what the idea was Gu Mingzhu was clear.

She didn't care, not because of anything else, it's just that the Liu mother and daughter acted quite low-key and didn't make any trouble, but looking at today's situation, I'm afraid that they don't know how to converge anymore, and they want to test their bottom line again.

It seems that Liu's mother and daughter still don't understand her, and she really doesn't mind cleaning up all the people in the mansion here, because she has never regarded their group of hungry wolves with evil intentions as her relatives.

Along the way, Gu Mingli uncharacteristically talked a lot with Gu Mingzhu, chatting back and forth, but Gu Mingzhu didn't tear her down, but she didn't have a match.

“…… Several His Royal Highnesses are also coming today, and I heard from the grandmother of Songshou Temple, two days ago, His Royal Highness King Xian also asked people to send Jin Shou Peach, as well as His Royal Highness King Chen Liu, "Gu Mingli finally blushed slightly when she talked about King Chen Liu, "What I sent is the sitting statue of Jade Guanyin, which is extremely valuable." ”

As she spoke, she raised her head and quietly looked at Gu Mingzhu's expression: "I just heard that there are few people in Chang'an Guifu who can get the gravity gift of these two highnesses, and I don't know why I value the old lady's birthday so much." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled faintly: "Naturally, it's because of my father, otherwise it's because of what." ”

Her words made Gu Mingli unable to take it, her face was a little sneering, and Nuo Nuo said: "What the eldest sister said is that it is because of my father." ”

But she was still unwilling: "But they said it was because of the marriage ...... the palace."

She didn't finish her words, but she was interrupted by Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu looked at her coldly, and said word by word: "Li Niang should know that some words can't be said nonsense even in the house, and the two highnesses graciously let people send heavy gifts to the old lady to congratulate her on her birthday, this is a grace, how can you let others guess their intentions." ”

"If what you said just now spreads, have you ever thought about what the two highnesses would think of the Gu family, and what would the nobles in the palace think? Don't you want to think that you are coveting the position of princess? Gu Mingzhu looked coldly at the cramped and restless Gu Mingli, "The fourth lady is still cautious, don't cause trouble." ”

Gu Mingli's heart was full of grievances and uneasiness, she originally just wanted to explore Gu Mingzhu's words, but she didn't expect to provoke such a reprimand, she was a concubine, she could only listen to Gu Mingzhu's teachings, but she was extremely unconvinced in her heart, it was just a few plain words, how could there be any trouble, she seemed to be just Gu Mingzhu using the topic to play.

She remembered that when she was lecturing earlier, Gu Mingzhu warned her so solemnly that she was not allowed to say anything related to Princess Anping, otherwise she would be sent to Jingxin Nunnery, which made her scared for a long time, and now it seems that it is just intimidation, and there is no movement.

It seems that the eldest sister really doesn't like her and looks down on her, otherwise how could she treat her like this.

Gu Mingli's gaze slowly lowered, and the original expectation of cheerfulness was also lost, and it took a while for her to raise her head and pull out a smile: "Big sister is a lesson, it's me who talks too much." ”

Gu Mingzhu glanced at her, and then walked forward with the maidservant again.

Gu Mingli stood in place and watched Gu Mingzhu walk away, and after a long time, she lowered her head and followed behind to Songshou Courtyard.

"The eldest lady has come to congratulate the old lady on her birthday."

For a while, the ladies in the flower hall all looked at the door, these days Mrs. Gu has become their topic, bullied by her stepmother, greedy for family wealth by her grandmother, and there was a good show in Mrs. Guo's mansion, who is not curious about how Mrs. Gu will congratulate Mrs. Gu on her birthday today, so she can't help but take a good look at the next scene.

Duchess Yan Guo also put down the tea pot in her hand at this time, and looked out of the door with a pair of sharp eyes, speaking of which, she really hasn't seen this lady Gu a few times, she has always lived in a simple house, and rarely asks about the situation outside the mansion, so naturally she hasn't heard much about the recent events in the General's Mansion, but this time she came to see her daughter-in-law, and she was already ready to be full of pickiness, and she wanted to take a good look at this lady Gu.

Luo smiled peacefully as always, and even turned his head and instructed the maidservant: "Quickly let someone bring the cheese tea soup that the eldest lady is accustomed to, and just sit on the couch next to me." ”

She was still the gentle and considerate mother, as if those things had never happened before. 10810
