Chapter 199: Filial Piety (Part 1)
There was an inconspicuous Wupeng carriage parked in front of the Xifu Gate, Gu Mingyue was dressed in a gray and blue plain dress, there was no hairpin ring on the flat bun, and her plain face was peaceful, she stood alone in front of the gate of the mansion with a small burden, without the slightest twist and embarrassment.
The servants in front of the mansion looked at her with surprise, but they knew that the second lady had been sent to Qinglian Temple, and the mansion had never sent anyone to pick her up, I didn't know how she came back to the house, and I didn't know if the old lady would be furious when she found out, so no one dared to come forward to greet her, lest anyone who let her into the mansion in private would be implicated.
Gu Mingyue was not annoyed, she stood quietly in front of the door, quietly allowing the guests who came to congratulate curiously and maliciously speculating and looking.
The servant woman who went in to pass the word came out for a long time, her face was full of complicated expressions, and she stepped forward and bent her knees to Gu Mingyue: "Second lady, the old lady will let you in." ”
Old Madam Gu is not annoyed, in her eyes, the current Gu Mingyue is not the second lady who liked and valued her at the beginning, but a scourge who is committed to killing her relatives with a lot of heart, which is on par with Gu Mingzhu.
originally thought that she had sent such a scourge to the Taoist temple and would never come back to harm people, but she didn't expect that she secretly ran back on her birthday.
But now she really can't just have a seizure, there are so many guests in the house, even the family Langjun and the lady are there, and those princes also come to congratulate in person, if there is a trouble, the Gu family's face is afraid that Gu Mingyue will be lost.
In that way, the previous evil things will not be hidden, and I don't know what will happen.
Therefore, she could only endure her anger and order someone to let her come into the house.
Gu Mingyue meekly lowered her head and followed the servant to the mansion with her little burden in her arms, and when she arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate, she saw that Grandma Sun was already waiting there, and when she saw her, she hurriedly greeted her: "Second lady, let's go and change the dress with the maid first." ”
She wore the same dress that she wore in the Taoist temple, and if she went to congratulate the old lady on her birthday like this, it would really not be good, and she would also teach those guests to see jokes.
Gu Mingyue raised her head, looked at Grandma Sun, her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was a little choked: "Thank you, Grandma." ”
Grandma Sun looked at Gu Mingyue, who had lost a lot of weight, and sighed softly: "Let's go, the old lady and the lady are still waiting for the lady over there." ”
Luo had already ordered Grandma Sun to wait for her here, just to let her return home with dignity.
There is still a lively situation in Songshou Courtyard, the banquet has been placed, the wrinkles on Mrs. Gu's face have been stretched out with a smile, and she frequently raises her glass to thank the ladies and ladies of the ladies and gentlemen, and she is even more diligent to pour wine in person to drink with Mrs. Zheng and Cui Shiniang, or Mrs. Zheng takes the initiative to get up and toast, so it is not a break in the rules.
Cui Shiniang Cui Ning is young after all, not very sophisticated, looking at the old lady Gu's enthusiastic appearance, she sneered, covered her mouth with her sleeve and said to Zheng Yuan: "This old lady is really different, she is an elder and a birthday star, why did she come to respect us......"
Her words were not loud, but everyone sitting nearby could hear them clearly, and Gu Mingyu, who was sitting not far from her, blushed, bit her lip and glanced at Cui Ning, before lowering her head and looking very uncomfortable.
Zheng Yuan hurriedly stopped her in a low voice: "Ning Niang, don't say it, this is the old lady who respects us as guests, so she will be so polite......"
As she spoke, she gently turned her head to look at Gu Mingzhu who was sitting on the side, but saw that Gu Mingzhu looked calm, still slowly eating the golden Hu cake fried on her desk, without the slightest concern.
She couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and quickly smiled and talked to Cui Ning about something else.
In the midst of the excitement, Abi came in quickly and quietly, walked behind Gu Mingzhu, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "The second lady has come back, it was the lady who sent someone to quietly pick her up, and the grandmother over there was in a hurry to bring the news over." ”
Gu Mingzhu sneered, raised her eyes to look at Luo Shi, who was sitting next to her with a gentle smile and was talking to the Duchess of Yanguo, sure enough, this eldest lady still refused to give up, she had been sent to the side hospital to recuperate for so many years, and she could still reach out to the Qinglian Temple to take Gu Mingyue back.
It seems that she was still too soft-hearted before, and she didn't expect them to be able to die and struggle.
Gu Mingzhu nodded, and slowly tore a small piece of crispy Hu Cake and put it in his mouth, it didn't matter, since they still wanted to toss again, they didn't mind giving them another ride.
When Gu Mingyue came in, she had already changed her appearance, wearing a half-arm skirt with a lake blue moon rong yarn and a treasure flower, the plain silver yarn around her waist moved with her steps, and a white jade lotus hairpin on her head was on her head, and the round white jade beads were swaying on her warm cheeks, adding a little more to it.
"Old lady Wanfu, Shoukang Jin'an." She stepped forward and bowed down, but she was still holding the coarse cloth burden in her hand, which was particularly abrupt.
Old Madam Gu looked at this granddaughter who was the most beloved at the beginning, but at this time, she only felt disgusted with her every move, and when she thought that she dared to do those vicious things, it was still a scourge to restrain herself, and she was even more impatient to see her, waved her hand in disgust, and hummed from her nose, and didn't want to pay attention to it anymore.
Luo Shi had already turned his head to look at Gu Mingyue at this time, and opened his mouth with a smile: "Yueniang, you went to Qinglian Temple to pray for the old lady's birthday before, the old lady has always been thinking about you, and I am very happy to hear that you are back." ”
She said and looked at Old Madam Gu, Old Madam Gu's face stiffened for a while, and it took a long time before she nodded slightly, turned her face away and didn't speak.
Gu Mingyue's eyes were slightly red, and she didn't get up, but picked up the burden in her hand: "These days, I have been chanting scriptures and incense in the temple day and night to pray for the old lady, I just hope that the old lady is healthy and everything goes smoothly in the house, and I can't prepare any valuable birthday gifts for the old lady, only to offer these scriptures to express my heart." ”
Luo Shi looked at Gu Mingyue, his eyes were full of love and pity, and he said: "Since you are sincerely praying for the old lady, you should copy the scriptures by yourself." ”
Gu Mingyue lowered her head slightly, and her bright face was pitiful and weak: "I copied it with my own hands, but the lights in the view are not ongoing, and I hope the old lady will forgive me." ”
She opened the baggage, and it was full of carefully copied scriptures, all of which were hairpins, and the handwriting was beautiful, which was very good.
Old Madam Gu glanced at it, and asked Mama Deng to step forward to take the burden, although her face was not very good-looking, but after all, she still didn't say anything else.
Gu Mingyue only got up at this moment, retreated to the side of Luo's couch and sat down, lowered her head and stopped talking.
