Chapter 214: Provoking
Chapter 214 provoked
"Let's go down...."After listening to Ah Si's words, Gu Banniang didn't move for a long time, and she didn't speak again.
In the early morning, when the little girl pushed the door open and came in to clean, she couldn't help but be startled.
"Miss, you... You woke up so early...? The maid stammered and asked, but after asking this sentence, she felt that she had asked the wrong question, and it was as if the young lady had been sitting on a chair all night....
"It's dawn?" Gu Banniang asked, stood up, but did not take a step.
The little maid hesitated for a moment, hesitating whether to step forward and help.
Gu Bainiang took a stiff step, slowly walked out of the house, and walked towards the backyard, the little girl hesitated for a moment but followed, until she saw the young lady enter the gunpowder pharmacy.
They were not allowed to approach the pharmacy, so the little girl stopped and stood under the porch and waited.
Gu Banniang entered the cannon pharmacy, and did not move the neat and tidy various medicinal utensils, but crossed the medicinal material cabinet, there was a curtain hanging in the dark behind the medicinal material cabinet, Gu Bainiang opened it and walked in, here is a small secret room, lit with an ever-bright lamp, dimly illuminating the indoor incense burner candlestick offerings.
Gu Bainiang knelt down and kowtowed first, and then did not get up, but took out a tablet from under the long case, which was empty, she knelt on the ground, and wrote it with her fingers one stroke at a time, her fingers crossed the tablet deeply, her nails were white, and there was no sound in the secret room.
I don't know how long it took to write like this, Gu Bainiang stood up and put the blank tablet under the tablet with "The position of the late teacher Liu Bucai" written on the table.
Pingyang Hou Mansion, in the main room of Baiyu County, the beautiful Baiyu County Lord sat on a soft couch, focusing on embroidering a golden phoenix, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, the room was soft and sweet, and the atmosphere was warm.
Suddenly, a person hurriedly walked in from outside the door, bringing a gust of cold wind.
The county lord of Baiyu couldn't help frowning, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Mother Chen's face that eased slightly.
"Why are you back?" She asked, "What about Mrs. Zhong?"
"Mrs. Zhong has gone to see the old lady first." Mother Chen said with a smile, "County Lord, there is good news...."
After listening to her story, the county lord of Baiyu was not very surprised.
"This is...."She said, and then embroidered Jinfeng, "You also said, a girl, not a master and servant, and there is no evidence that she has anything to do with this assassination case, you can think of it, the Zhu family can't think of it, can you come back and tell me?" ”
"County Lord, we naturally know," Chen's mother smiled, taking a step forward, "But this is a good opportunity, a chance to take that girl..."
"Oh?" The county lord of Baiyu replied casually, "How do you take it?" ”
"I'm sure that Gu Xiang must know about the girl named Lingbao...."Mother Chen said in a deep voice.
"So what? Your Majesty protects her brother, and she has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to protect her, you won't let me violate the holy will, right? There are not many words without mistakes" The county lord of Baiyu said slowly, raising his head and sweeping his gaze over the two, "I said, why did you stay in that cheap maid's house for a few days and become a little confused?" ”
Chen's mother was stunned by what she said.
"Of course not, as the saying goes, thieves have a weak heart, we know it in our hearts, and they also know it in our hearts, this time it is all because of the Holy Family that they can escape the difficulty of punishment and trial...."Mother Chen smiled, "So..."
"So how?" The county lord of Baiyu stopped and looked at it with some interest.
"So naturally we have to take this opportunity to give grace and power...."Chen's mother smiled, whispering a few words in her ear.
The white jade county lord was thoughtful, silent for a moment, and the light of jealousy in his eyes flashed again.
Gu Xiang, I am from a noble background than you, more beautiful than you, and deeply favored by the royal family, if you have a similar status as me, it will be fine, but you, a dog minion, are incomparable, but you can share the favor with me, I will call you today, call it status, and call it the difference between dignity and inferiority
In this world, it is not that you can do whatever you want with the grace of one person
", the people from the Pingyang Hou Mansion came to look for me?"
Gu Luo'er handed the child in her hand to the nurse on the side, and asked with a little surprise and excitement.
"It's Mother Chen.." The servant woman replied.
Mother Chen is in front of the Baiyu County Lord, and often follows the Baiyu County Lord in and out, this kind of servant woman with status in the Hou Mansion is more noble than the ordinary lady, Gu Luo'er naturally knew it, and immediately stood up.
If it was before, she would not feel so frightened, but now that her father has just withdrawn from the court with a disgraceful attitude, and second, the county lord of Baiyu has been canonized as the crown princess, and her status has risen again, and those who want to get close to her are afraid that they can break the threshold of the Pingyang Hou Mansion.
She also sent a congratulatory gift in the past, to say that when her father was still in a high position, she might be able to get the opportunity to come to the door, but now....although she is also the daughter-in-law of the Baoding Hou family, but the status of the Baoding Hou and the Pingyang Hou is not comparable, not to mention, because of her father's affairs, her status at home has plummeted, and even the Baoding Hou personally asked her to remind her to be careful these days, and it is best not to go out, so as not to attract disaster.
After these words were conveyed by her husband, Gu Luoer was undoubtedly slapped in public, and Gu Luoer, who had never received such treatment, cried behind closed doors for two days.
The dependence of the family's family situation turned out to be so immediately in the present.....
"Don't cry, don't cry, my father is not a taboo father-in-law, don't think about it," her husband comforted her, "Sister Eighteen Niang is not selected for the East Palace, this is a critical juncture, everyone should keep a low profile, don't be sad, wait for the nail on the ground, you are the sister of the nobleman....."
Gu Luo'er clenched her fists and creaked, bowing her head to others, bowing her head to her relatives who had humiliated her
This person, if it is the white jade county lord, it will be even better.....
"Someone, please." Gu Luo'er commanded, while going in to change clothes.
Looking at Gu Luo'er, who had changed into formal clothes, Mother Chen nodded with satisfaction, look, this is the proper etiquette of reception.
"I've seen Madame." Chen's mother bowed.
Although she is a first-class servant of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, she is a slave after all, and she will not forget the etiquette she should have, and she will not leave unnecessary trouble in such trivial matters.
Gu Luo'er bowed slightly.
"Luo'er has always admired the county lord, but I can't express my admiration..." Luo'er must be there..."
Seeing her so interesting, Chen's mother was a little surprised, and those words that she was afraid of her pushing back and thinking about it were completely needless to say...
It seems that this cousin of Miss Gu will be more inclined to the side of the White Jade County Lord when the time comes? That's right, Mother Chen couldn't hide her admiration and nodded proudly, what about entering the palace? In front of the county lord of Baiyu, it is not a lowly class, and it must be clear who is respectful and who is inferior
"That's the case, the county lord of my family wants to see Miss Gu Xiang, but it's not convenient..."She also said directly.
The county lord of Baiyu couldn't ask Gu Bainiang to go to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and she couldn't go directly to Gu Shibanniang's house.
Gu Luo'er was stunned, and then a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her lips couldn't be hidden.
If there is anyone in this world who hates Gu Eighteen Niang more than himself, it is none other than the Baiyu County Lord Before her, the crown princess, a woman and her husband were ambiguous, and everyone vomited blood angrily.
Mother Chen was a little confused by the sudden strange look on her face, coughed, and said: "Miss Gu Xiang is appreciated by the crown prince and the queen mother, and the county lord is also very happy, but it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to meet before, and after entering the palace, there are identity restrictions, and I can't talk and laugh to my heart's content, so if I want to meet, everyone is familiar with it, and it will be better to get close to ...... in the future."
Intimate? Grace and power are the same, right? There are many words without mistakes, Gu Luo'er almost couldn't control the laughter, happy, too happy
"No problem." She readily agreed.
Seeing her answer so happily, Chen's mother was surprised again, but things went smoothly and she was happy.
"Then Mrs. Law will arrange it," she bowed and thanked.
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's Luo'er's honor to serve the county lord" Gu Luo'er hurriedly signaled that she didn't need to be polite, and said with a smile.
"I don't know how Madame arranges it?" Chen's mother asked.
Gu Luo'er pondered for a while, then said with a smile: "My father has a private house not far from Pingyang Street, the scenery is very good, and it is quiet, I will invite them to come here to talk about it when the time comes..."
The reason why Pingyang Street is called Pingyang Street is because there is this Pingyang Hou Mansion on the street, which is close to the house, which is very good.
Chen's mother smiled and thanked her again, this time thanks sincerely.
"Madame has arranged it properly... The old slave took the county lord to thank Mrs...."She smiled, and then remembered to ask, "Mrs. Fang Cai said, they, that's the case, it's best not to let too many people in this matter...."
"Mommy is overwhelmed.." Gu Luo'er interrupted her with a smile, "I'm not talking about anyone else, it's Gu Xiang and her mother. ”
"Mrs. Gu?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Chen's mother hesitated.
"Mom doesn't know," Gu Luo'er smiled slightly, a little chill unconsciously appeared in her voice, "My younger sister is the most cunning, if you want to invite her out, I'm afraid it's not easy..."
Treacherous? Chen's mother's expression froze, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.
Gu Luo'er didn't care, she just wanted the county lord of Baiyu to know her attitude towards Gu Xiang, because she was sure that the lord of Baiyu hated this cheap maid as much as she did, and the enemy of her enemy was her friend, and they all knew this truth very well.
"However, it is much easier to invite her mother, if her mother comes, then she will naturally come..."Gu Luo'er smiled slowly, while turning the ring with a gemstone in her hand, the sunlight cast into the room, just shining on the ring, reflecting a colorful light, which made people can't help but avoid it.
Chen's mother had calmed down and knew that there was a reason for the incident, so she nodded and smiled.
"Then there will be Mrs. Lao, and I will go back to my life." She stood up and took her leave.
"It's an honor to serve the county lord." Gu Luo'er got up and saluted again.
The two looked at each other, and smiles appeared on their faces.
