Chapter Seventy-Eight: So It Was (Part II)

When Jiang Xinglin's figure disappeared into the study, a middle-aged man wearing brown cocoon silk walked out from behind the agarwood screen in the study. Old Master Jiang asked, "How?" ”

The man nodded, "Buildable." ”

Old Marquis Jiang sighed tiredly: "Since you also said yes, that's him!" ”

The man hesitated: "It's just that Fang Hou Ye is there......"

"The head of the family doesn't settle so quickly." Old Marquis Jiang muttered, "It's just taking advantage of this matter to try the nature of Xinglin." If he told the Fang family about this to Fang Houye, then it would be regarded as an old friend of me, who was an old friend, to ring the alarm bell for him. If you don't tell him...... Even if you have passed the first level......"

"It's still Hou Ye's thoughtfulness." The man smiled, "But the jealousy of the ninth prince is not unreasonable. For so many years, we have never figured out whether Gu Chaorong represents the emperor or is tossing around there, this matter is always a bit hanging! ”

Old Marquis Jiang smiled bitterly: "This woman, I have dealt with her, she is not such a simple person. I'm afraid that the emperor will lift a stone and hit his own foot, and he won't dare to say anything! ”

The man muttered, "If that's the case, what should we do next?" ”

Old Marquis Jiang's expression was a little weird: "Of course, it is unchanged to respond to all changes." Our Jiang family, after all, is a loyal minister, and it is the imperial power that serves the imperial power......"

At this moment, across the street less than two squares away from Weiyuan Hou Jiang's Mansion, Gu's carriage was swaying towards Tongyi Fang, shouting, bargaining, greetings, children's cries, and noisy Xia Bu curtains through the car window came in, Gu Xiyan was sitting like an old monk in a precarious position, with a rare seriousness on his face.

"Bottle, you go and help me inquire about what kind of people Zuo Xiaoyu, the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, has friends with on weekdays, and which officials have the most contacts on weekdays?"

Bottle: "Zuo Xiaoyu, he is from the Ministry of War......"

Gu Xiyan squinted at her.

The bottle wanted to speak and stopped.

I thought of everything that happened in the red dress just now.

On your own. I couldn't even hear what the two were talking about.

When she pushed the door open and entered the ground, she saw clumps of grayish ash flying in the air like butterflies in the room.

That's smart.

I even used a pen to write on a piece of paper and talk. And then rightly burn it.

It's been many years, and I haven't suffered such a loss for many years.

Is this a capsized ship in the gutter?

The bottle couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiyan again.

Does she know what she's doing? Zuo Xiaoyu, the elite of the military of the Xizhao Dynasty. A powerful general with outstanding military achievements, with his own identity, let alone investigating him, even if he gets too close, he may attract the attention of Jinyiwei. Unless you use Yandi's spy organization, you and Yandi are only guests and hosts after all, in case something happens...... Gu Xiyan was already a little impatient with the bottle's attitude, and looked at her coldly. It looks like she was sent as a servant girl as a matter of course.

The bottle laughed.

Whatever! Didn't Yan Guogong say it when he came, let her go to make trouble, and he only had to ensure that she didn't worry about her life.

When something happens, someone will naturally carry it, so why worry about it.

She answered with a crisp "yes".

Bottle's answer did not make Gu Xiyan smile, but his face sank like water. There was deep concern in the eyes.

Such a Gu Xiyan is rare.

Although the two have not been in contact for a long time, Gu Xiyan has a smiling face no matter who she meets, what did Jiang Xinglin say to her?

Bottler always felt that today's meeting between the two made her uneasy.

The two returned to Gu's mansion silently, and went to greet Mrs. Gu first, who was busy talking to Liu Zuocheng, and Deacon Ding was also present, holding an account book-like notebook to remember something. Seeing Gu Xiyan, Liu Zuocheng greeted Gu Xiyan very politely, and then took Deacon Ding to avoid the side room.

Mrs. Gu explained: "I asked Seventh Brother and Deacon Ding for you to buy a dowry?" ”

Gu Xiyan just smiled faintly. I asked Mrs. Gu to say goodbye, and gave Mrs. Gu the two skirts that I had ordered for Mrs. Gu in Hongsheng, Mrs. Gu was very surprised, stunned, and said lightly, "I have a lot of clothes." Don't do that again". But women who don't love new clothes, Gu Xiyan doesn't think so. After a few words, he took the bottle back to Beyuan.

The marriage was set in a hurry, and everyone in the Gu Mansion felt a little upside down, but with Liu Zuocheng's help, everything was going relatively smoothly.

Although Gu Xiyan is the future bride, she is not idle, and spends all day coping with the dressing and needlework team and the jewelry craftsman. The people in the needlework class said that she let Whelan take care of it all and didn't ask. She was more concerned about the jewelry, and she also drew a drawing to make a bracelet with a unique shape.

The bracelet is a good jade bracelet divided, a total of five parts, each part as thick as a thumb, and then wrapped with a carved sleeve of gold, the jade is lined with yellow gold, indescribably bright and bright, and a trace of elegance, even the bottle is so picky people say that it is good-looking.

Gu Xiyan smiled when she heard this, and her expression was very melancholy: "This process is called gold inlaid with jade!" ”

Everyone praised this name for a good job.

Gu Xiyan didn't take off the bracelet when she put it on.

On the day of the recruitment, I heard the sound of blowing and blowing early in the morning, Xinghong ran to the middle gate early to see, and said excitedly to everyone when she came back: "...... The phoenix crown and xia curtain are ordered in Jiqingfang, and the dragon and phoenix cakes are ordered in Fangqingzhai, and a house is full...... The matchmaker took the opportunity to discuss with the lord and the lady, saying that he would invite the date today, and I heard that it was scheduled for August 18, and the autumn festival would be over as soon as the kiss was over. ”

Whelan smiled when she heard this, and pulled Xinghong and said, "Girl, let's go and help pack the box!" ”

According to the rules, after the woman accepts the man's dowry, she should put the gold and silver jewelry, bedding, clothes, tinware, porcelain, and knick-knacks and other things that the woman has dowed back into the carrying box, and then let the man carry it back.

Gu Xiyan disagreed, and said indifferently, "What are the girls running around", like a scoop of cold water poured on the heads of the two of them, and both of them smiled in unison.

It was afternoon. In Gufu, the team of relatives in Zuofu, who was full of wine and food, carried the box and blew and blew away.

Mrs. Gu was busy all morning, but she couldn't rest for a while. Because the Zongren Mansion sent someone to say that the imperial concubine wanted to see the Gu couple.

Master Gu lay on the bed and said that he had a headache, and said to Mrs. Gu, "Go ahead!" Let's just say I drank too much. ”

The small yellow door outside was still waiting, and Mrs. Gu had no choice. I had to hurriedly comb my hair and change my clothes and enter the palace.

When I arrived at the Chengqian Palace, it was already dinner time, and the rice was being passed in the Chengqian Palace, and no one asked Mrs. Gu if she had eaten, and no one arranged for Mrs. Gu to sit in the side hall.

There were no lights in the warm pavilion, and the tall objects around were hidden in the dark. Like a monster waiting for an opportunity to move, Gu Chaorong sat motionless on the big couch near the window, as if he had dissolved into a whole with the room.

For some reason, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

She trembled and saluted Gu Chaorong.

Gu Chaorong stared at her for a long time, in a stagnant atmosphere. He sighed faintly and said softly, "You idiot, why don't you use your brain like an ornament!" Even a pig, you have to be smarter than you! I really don't know how you got to where you are today...... I really want to stomp all your limbs into the pottery urn and see if you know what it feels like......" Her voice was so soft, but the words she said made Mrs. Gu feel creepy.

Mrs. Gu didn't know where Gu Chaorong's anger came from, but she didn't dare to ask anything, and knelt in front of Gu Chaorong tremblingly: "Niangniang is angry, Niangniang is angry!" ”

"Forget it. Never mind! Gu Chaorong sighed faintly again, "You get out of here, so as not to give me a headache." ”

Mrs. Gu stood up tremblingly.

"Wait," Gu Chaorong called out to Mrs. Gu, who was turning around and leaving, and Mrs. Gu turned back tremblingly. His face turned white.

Gu Chaorong sighed again: "It's all already accepted." It's useless for me to object. Tell Gu Baozhang to come and see me! ”

It turned out to be for Gu Xiyan's marriage. But this marriage was settled after Lord Gu entered the palace. At that time, when Whelan reminded her, she was going to enter the palace to bow back and forth, but there were too many miscellaneous things to prepare for the dowry, and she really couldn't spare time. But can she argue something in front of the noble concubine?

Mrs. Gu had to answer "yes" respectfully, and when she turned around, she saw something black in front of her heels, still moving, and she let out a scream of horror.

Someone on the side immediately stepped forward and covered Mrs. Gu's mouth.

Gu Chaorong grinned and instructed the palace maid next to him: "Pick up that thing and show it to my mother." ”

A palace maid spread the black thing on the palm of her hand to show Mrs. Gu.

It turned out to be a small turtle.

Mrs. Gu lowered her head in shame.

"Fun!" Gu Chaorong said sarcastically, "This was given to me by your good son-in-law!" ”

Good son-in-law? Who? Left Xiaoyu?

It's not the mother's birthday, why send the turtle?

Even if it's a birthday, it's not appropriate to give a little turtle!

Mrs. Gu only felt that there was chaos in her mind, and she could only remain silent.

"Let's go, let's go. What can you understand, you pig brain? Gu Chaorong sighed again, "Why isn't there anyone in the family who is willing to use their brains......"

Mrs. Gu didn't dare to show any unhappy expression, and only resigned herself to leaving the Chengqian Palace.

A female official pressed the turtle in the hand of the palace maid, glanced at Gu Chaorong meaningfully, and said, "Niangniang, it's a turtle!" She bit the word "turtle" hard.

Gu Chaorong smiled coldly, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
