Chapter 23: Stabilize Gu Mingyou

At the end of the banquet, Su Jinli gave the shark pearl to Yunyang according to his words, and then took Qingyue and the others back to Tingli Courtyard.

As soon as she took a step, Gu Mingyu stopped her.

"Li'er, I was wrong that day, don't you be angry, okay?" He whispered softly.

Su Jinli said coldly: "Angry? Where do the courtiers dare to be angry with His Highness! His Royal Highness still went to coax Miss Wei to go, and the courtiers didn't look very good at Miss Wei since she saw the shark beads! ”

After saying that, he left briskly without looking back.

In vain, Gu Mingyu stood in place awkwardly.

I don't know why, seeing that Su Jinli, who had been pestering him tightly before, suddenly politely called him "Your Highness" and called herself "courtier", he was inexplicably a little panicked......

He has always felt that Su Jinli is arrogant and rude, and he hates it regardless of the defense of men and women.

But when she was really polite and polite to him, he was not as happy as he imagined.

While he was pondering, the old man hurriedly stepped forward to apologize for Su Jinli's rudeness.

Gu Mingyu was busy gathering his thoughts, said with a smile that it was not in the way, and then found an excuse and left.

……

In Tingli Courtyard, after bathing and changing clothes, Su Jinli retreated from Qingyue and others, holding a wooden rabbit alone and leaning on the beauty collapse in a daze.

There was a deep sadness and sorrow between her brows.

This wooden rabbit, she had seen it in her previous life......

It's just that in her previous life, this rabbit was brought to her by Gu Mingyun's hands......

She is a rabbit, and Gu Mingyu said that he carved it with his own hands, so she is used to seeing treasures and treats it as a treasure like a bead in her eyes.

Yes, today Ming Jue opened the wooden box and revealed this rabbit, so she would react so much.

The obvious new wound on Ming Jue's hand stabbed her angina, which was obviously engraved by his own hands!

But in his previous life, he saw that he often played with it, and he didn't expose Gu Mingyun's lies!

It was only the first time that she heard herself tell him with a happy face that this was her ninth brother's face, and his face became extremely ugly.

How stupid must he be? In order to keep her in a good mood, she held the truth in her heart!

She should have pretended to be happy to accept the shark beads today, but she couldn't tolerate everyone's contempt and ridicule for Ming Jue.

That's why I subconsciously came forward to speak for him.

After relieving Mingjue's embarrassment, she noticed that Gu Mingjue's face was as pale as ink.

In a hurry, she hurriedly pulled Wei Ziyuan to make Gu Mingyun think that she was being jealous.

Judging by his later looks, he should have believed it.

But she still had a faint uneasiness in her heart, and she was a little impulsive today.

……

After the ceremony, the Ningguo Mansion began to prepare for the New Year again.

Seeing that Su Jinli was sensible, the old man specially brought Su Jinli to prepare together.

It's because Su Jinli has been busy these days with her feet not touching the ground, and she doesn't even care about the gadgets that Gu Mingyun is giving away every day.

On this day, Gu Mingyu, who had no bottom in his heart, came to the Guogong Mansion again.

He found the warehouse where Su Jinli was located unhindered along the way, and Qingyue behind Su Jinli was about to report when he saw him, but he stopped him with a smile.

His eyes looked at Su Jinli, who had a serious face and was seriously giving orders to his subordinates, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.

It turns out that the wayward glass girl is quite like a thing when she gets serious!

She frowned sometimes and showed her face, and she maintained the appearance of family affairs without hurry, like a virtuous little daughter-in-law!

Gu Mingyun looked at it and was fascinated, and as he stood aside for more time, Qingyue's expression became more and more nervous.

It's just that her repeated reminders were seriously ignored by Su Jinli.

Therefore, Gu Mingyu's stop was half an hour, and it wasn't until Su Jinli raised his head after he was busy that he found him standing at the door with an appreciative face.

Her eyes widened for a moment, and with a shake of her hand, the ledger fell to the ground.

Qingyue hurriedly picked it up and handed it to her, and Su Jinli came back to her senses.

"Brother Nine! What are you doing here? She pinched her palm and forced herself to squeeze out a smile of delight.

"I'm going to see if some stupid girl with a careful eye is out of breath!" Gu Mingyun said dotingly.

As he spoke, he walked towards her.

"Humph! You go! I'm still angry when I'm careful! Su Jinli stomped her feet and said coquettishly.

Gu Mingyu was immediately amused by the gesture of her youngest daughter's family.

"Huh...... Okay, okay, it's my mistake, Li'er is not angry! He coaxed patiently.

Su Jinli also accepted it when she saw it, and after smiling sweetly, she hurriedly went to prepare Gu Mingyu's favorite snacks.

Seeing that she remembered her preferences so clearly, a warm current surged in Gu Mingyu's heart.

Then he suddenly dispelled all the doubts he had in the past few days because of her coldness a few days ago.

After all, if you don't like him, how can you remember these details clearly?

"Why did Li'er suddenly start taking charge?" Gu Mingyun asked curiously.

Su Jinli is the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion, and she should have taken on the responsibility of taking charge of the family at the age of twelve.

But she was too lazy to be a councilor, so the old prince has been in charge of government affairs.

"Grandpa said that I was already in time, and it was time to learn how to cook housework." Su Jinli frowned slightly.

"Brother Jiu is so tired!" She grumbled slightly.

"Silly girl, grandpa is for your good!" Gu Mingyun said amusementously.

At the same time, she shook her head secretly, this girl was just about to praise her for being sensible, but the prototype was exposed!

Where is sensible, it's just grandfather's coercion and temptation!

After talking again, the maids brought the food, and as soon as the two of them used some of it, the housekeepers came to ask for instructions, and Su Jinli began to deal with affairs again.

Gu Mingyu watched for a while, and when he saw that she was busy, he left with interest.

As soon as he went out, Su Jinli cheered up and sent away a group of housekeepers and grandmothers.

"Miss, you've worked so hard!" Qing Yao said distressedly, and hurriedly handed a cup of hot tea to Su Jinli.

"It's okay, I'd rather be busy than have a relationship with him." Su Jinli said lightly.

Her eyes were dark, and her expression was uncertain.

Qing Yao didn't know how to answer for a while, so they stood with their heads down in tacit understanding.

After drinking two cups of hot tea for a long time, Su Jinli said coldly: "Qingyu, you go back to Tingli Courtyard first and clean up those annoying things!"

Qing Yu knew what "annoying things" meant, so he responded without the slightest hesitation.

"Qingyue, you go and ask if there is still something missing in the courtyards." Su Jinli said a little tiredly.

In this country's mansion, it seems that there are not many people, and the serious masters are her grandfather, the second uncle's family and her.

But it's really troublesome to cook!

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and she must arrange everything right today.

"Yes, the slave and maid will come and go as soon as possible." Aozuki happily responded.

……

Chinese New Year's Eve, reunion night.

The perennial dining table in the hall of the Guogong Mansion was rarely full of dishes, and the old Guogong and Su Jinli's ancestors and grandchildren sat happily around her second uncle's family.

"Grandpa, let the second uncle's family stay in Beijing this year!" After eating, Su Jinli proposed.

The old man was stunned, and her second uncle Su Ningyun and second aunt were happy.

Suning Yun is a concubine, and has been thrown on the back cover of Suzhou under the strong concept of the old prince.

Since the martyrdom of his son Suningan, he wanted to return to Beijing, but the old prince has been biting his bite and not letting go, and only allowed their family to come back during the New Year.

Now that Su Jinli, the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, offered to let them come back, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

However, as the silence of the old man increased, the smiles on the faces of Su Ningyun and his wife gradually solidified.

The hall was suddenly silent, and Su Jinjun, who was only six years old, stared blankly with big eyes and asked, "Grandpa, don't you like Jun'er and Daddy?"

Hearing this, the old country's eyes were suffocated, and Su Jinxiu was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled his ignorant brother and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Then he cautiously apologized to the old man: "Grandfather, don't worry about Jun'er, he ...... He's still young and ignorant! ”

The old man still didn't speak, Su Jinxiu became even more nervous, and she subconsciously looked at Su Jinli.

Su Jinli hurriedly got up and smiled lightly, pulled Su Jinjun to sit down beside her, touched his head, and comforted him softly: "Jun'er, don't be afraid, grandpa likes you!"

Seeing that Su Jinjun's eyes were full of surprise, she hurriedly looked at the old man expectantly, and said, "Grandpa, don't you like Jun'er such a cute child?"

After speaking, he hurriedly gave the minister of the old country a look, and when he saw this, he showed a smile, and lovingly took out the red envelope he had wrapped early in the morning and handed it to Su Jinjun.

"Jun'er is smart and sensible, grandpa is very happy to look at it!"

Hearing this, Su Jinjun happily took the red envelope to the old man to greet the New Year.

Su Jinli, Su Ningyun and his wife and Su Jinxiu were also busy smiling and greeting the old man.

The old man responded one by one, and gave red envelopes one by one, and the atmosphere in the house became lively.

After that, the family chatted about the castle kei as if the previous unpleasantness had not happened at all.

Because the old prince was going to report to Emperor Yongli early tomorrow morning, they only kept the louder when they were young.

When the time came, they went out to watch the fireworks together, and when the fireworks were over, Lao Guogong and Su Jinli scattered red envelopes to the people in the mansion and dispersed.

When they left one after another, Lao Guogong suddenly stopped Su Ningyun.

"Since Li'er has already spoken, then you can keep it!" He said lightly.

After saying that, he strode back to Songyi Temple.

In vain, Su Ningyun and his wife and Su Jinxiu, who were shocked, stood in place to digest this pleasure.

"Li'er is the first to congratulate the second uncle and aunt!" Su Jinli said aloud with a smile.

She was really happy to hear the news.

The Ningguo Mansion is already scarce, her father is gone, and there is only a second uncle's family left.

In her previous life, she was ignorant, and under the provocation of someone with a heart, she kept putting pressure on her grandfather, who finally moved her second uncle to return to Beijing, and stirred up the restlessness of the Guogong Mansion.

Because of this, he had a grudge with the second uncle's family, so that after his grandfather passed away, in addition to holding the military talisman, the Ningguo Mansion existed in name only.

Now she deeply understands that she is a daughter, and no matter how much her grandfather loves her, she will not be able to inherit the title.

Therefore, it is better to push the boat down the river, let grandpa welcome the second uncle's family back as soon as possible, and cultivate Jinjun well to ensure the inheritance and glory of her Ningguo Mansion.

And Su Ningyun, who didn't know that Su Jinli had changed, disappeared with joy on her face when she heard her congratulations.
