Since Ling Miao's health improved, Chu Zixi could no longer stand Ling Yan's daily encounters and greetings from the cold, and fled back to the Chu State Mansion.

After Gu Shi learned what Ling Yan had done, he was so angry that he dropped a teacup, and said to his close confidant: "Look at it, the dignified Miss Hou Mansion is acting like this!" spread out, maybe it will make the girls who misunderstood the Marquis of Wuding Mansion all rush to stick to men like this! ”

When the companion was not married, he was called Jin'er, and he grew up serving the Gu family since he was a child, and the two of them were called master and servant, but they were actually sisters. When Ling Song saw that this brocade was born pretty, he also thought about taking her into the house. Jin'er refused to betray the master, and begged the Gu family to hurriedly match her with someone. Gu Shi is also grateful for her kindness to herself, and has long said that she will go to slavery to be a good citizen. It's just that Jin'er was worried about the Gu family's situation in the Hou Mansion, so she was willing to let her children out. Now, her eldest daughter has married, and her youngest son has been arranged by Gu to study in a good library.

Seeing that Gu was so angry that he couldn't choose to speak, Jin'er hurriedly glanced at the little maids in the room and motioned for them to go out. He swept the fragments with his own hands, and persuaded with a smile: "Why should my wife be angry? No matter how bad the third lady is, she is also a girl in the third room. ”

She said the word "three rooms" very slowly, and Gu sighed: "You are also naïve." But all the girls in the family are both prosperous and lossy. The behavior of the three girls spread, and people didn't care which room she was in, they would just say, look, this is the upbringing of the girls in the Wuding Marquis Mansion. ”

"I think it's too much to worry about." Jin'er smiled and poured another cup of tea for the Gu family, seeing the doubts in Gu's eyes, she smiled and said softly, "In the capital, how many people don't know, in our Wuding Marquis Mansion, except for the second lady, the rest of the girls grew up with the old lady?" ”

In other words, even if all the girls in the family chase the man upside down, no one will question Ling Miao's character. After all, she was personally raised by the Gu family, a noble lady of the princess.

Gu couldn't help but laugh and glared at Jin'er with disgust, "You can say this casually?" ”

Jin'er slapped her face lightly and said jokingly: "The slave is overstepping!" ”

After a pause, seeing that there was no one else in the room, he only sighed, "I usually only heard of the name of Prince Chu, but this time, I saw it, and I knew that it was a really good person." Not to mention being handsome, it's rare that every move makes people feel uncomfortable. Mrs......"

"Second Miss, but I'm also about to catch up."

Gu understood what Jin'er meant.

Ling Su and Ling Miao's family affair, these two years have been Gu's heart disease.

Especially Ling Miao.

Girls' families are no better than men's, no matter how pampered they are in the boudoir, they have to live in their in-laws' house when they go out. It's good to meet the sensible family and the husband who values love and righteousness, if you are like her, won't you be killed in the second half of your life?

Chu Zixi was born in character, talented, and talented, and he didn't have to pick and choose, and he was completely the ideal husband of the nobles in Beijing.

But because it was so good, Gu regretted it.

The wife of the Duke of Chu is the lord of the clan, born in the Rong'an Palace, and is a serious relative of the emperor. The Duke of Chu has real power in his hands, and such a person is afraid that he will not look down on the Marquis of Wuding.

After all, like the British prince back then, how many people kept saying that they wanted to repay their kindness and sent their daughters out?

Although no one said anything in front of him, behind the scenes, who was not laughing at Gu Xu for selling a woman to repay her kindness?

Sighing, Gu shook his head.

"What kind of door is the Duke of Chu's mansion? We can't afford to do this kind of family thing. ”

Moreover, Mrs. Tai is the lord of the county, and the Duchess of Chu is also from a high-ranking family, and she is notoriously shrewd. The family that this aunt gave to you was Ling Miao's marriage, and there were many unpleasant things.

"Miao'er's family affairs, let's take our time." Gu Shi rubbed his eyebrows, suddenly remembered something, and asked Jin'er, "I said before that I asked you to rummage through my dowry, I remember that there was a guqin, but I found it?" ”

Jin'er hurriedly said: "Found it, will my wife be here now?" ”

Gu Shi said: "Find the four treasures of the good study, put them together with Asu, and ask him to take the name card and give it to Gongzi Chu." ”

She thanked Chu Zixi for his dedication to Ling Miao's diagnosis and treatment, and heard Ling Su say that Chu Zixi liked to caress the qin the most in addition to being intoxicated with medical skills, and thought of the guqin in her dowry, which was said to be a thousand gold, so she took it out, just as a thank you gift.

After the guqin was sent, Chu Zixi really couldn't put it down, and came over to thank him in person.

Seeing that his long jade façade looked like a crown of jade, Gu Shi liked it from the bottom of his heart, and only smiled: "It's not precious." Ah Su and his sister are not good at playing the piano, which has been kept in the warehouse for many years, and now they have met a bosom friend. ”

"Auntie laughed." Chu Zixi took out a lightly scented flower note from his sleeve and said with a smile, "Because the snow this year is exceptionally good, the pine plum snow in our house is much more beautiful than in previous years." Grandmother said that she wanted to set up a few tables at home to enjoy the plum banquet, and invited everyone to enjoy the snow and plum together. ”

As he spoke, he respectfully handed over the invitation.

"The pine plum reflecting snow in the Duke of Chu is a must in Beijing, and I had the privilege of playing it when I was young. I wonder if the old plum blossom tree in your garden is still there? ”

Gu Shi took the post and was very happy.

Such gatherings often lead to several pairs of marriage stories. In the past, Ling Miao didn't like this, and rarely followed Gu Shi out and walked around, so that outsiders could look at her, as if she was a little withdrawn.

Gu Shi made up his mind, and whatever he said this time, he would also let his daughter follow him to the Duke of Chu's mansion.

Ling Miao naturally would not shirk this time. These days, she has been anxious, worried about Wei Zifeng's safety. But in the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, the Gu family's subordinates have too little to use, and most of them are the housekeepers' daughters-in-law and maids in the inner house, so if they want to inquire about Wei Zifeng's news, they can't count on it.

Only by stepping out of the Hou Mansion can there be more opportunities.

Gu was overjoyed to learn that she would go. It's just that this joy, on the day of the plum feast, was completely destroyed.

"What's going on?"

In front of the carriage, Gu looked at Ling Yan and Song Rongrong, who were dressed brightly, and asked in a deep voice.

The henchman beside Mrs. Han smiled and said: "The old lady heard that the Chu Mansion sent a post to invite the girls of our family to enjoy the flowers, and I am afraid that it will be too late, and the old county lord will not like it, so the slave maid hurriedly sent the third lady and Miss Biao over." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head weakly, not daring to meet Gu's angry gaze.

Gu sneered. Old Han is really good at taking advantage of loopholes. The post of the Duke of Chu wrote that it was a request to the female dependents of the Marquis of Wuding.

"Auntie, let's go." Ling Yan smiled skillfully.

Gu squinted his eyes, and saw that she was wearing a cloak of red shining gold makeup satin white fox fur lining, with a flying fairy bun on her head, and a begonia flower-like step made of red gold filament, full of pearls and emeralds, and brilliant. She was a few months younger than Ling Miao, and this outfit made her jade white face more slender.

And Song Rongrong, who has always hung her head on the side, is ninety percent new pink and white dark pattern embroidered plum blossom cotton jacket and blue gold glitter satin brocade skirt, her black hair is only loosely tied into a depraved bun, and only a small pink beaded flower is hairpin on the sideburns. Although the dress is not very gorgeous, it sets off her graceful temperament to the fullest.

"Go back, change your clothes and come back!" Gu Shi shouted. But those who know how to be polite will not wear bright red when they go out, so as not to collide with the host. Ling Yan was afraid that she would not be able to overwhelm others. Look at that Song Rongrong again, this is going out to a banquet, not to cry and mourn, who is wearing such a dress for? Don't you let people respond?

Song Rongrong's delicate body was shocked, and she seemed to be frightened and didn't dare to speak.

Ling Yan put her dissatisfaction directly on her face, and only pouted, "What do you mean, auntie?" ”

Isn't it, seeing that she is dressed a little out, is she afraid that she will suppress Ling Miao?

Thinking like this, his eyes couldn't help but look at Ling Miao. In the past, Ling Miao, who liked to dress up the most, rarely wore a pink and purple stand-up collar placket and plum jacket today, with a slightly lighter color moonflower skirt underneath, and the cloak on the outside was also jade satin. There is no makeup on the whole body except for a little red treasure hanging bead on the forehead, and the whole person is low-key, and it will not make people feel bleak.

"If the eldest aunt is afraid that my sister will not be as good as us, it is better to let the second sister change her clothes. After all, she's just one person, and my cousin and I are two people. ”

The old lady saw Gu's face sank, for fear that she would not bring Ling Yan and Song Rongrong if she was dissatisfied, so she hurriedly laughed: "It's not too early, Mrs. will see if she will ...... first."

Seeing Gu's sharp eyes sweeping over, he hurriedly added, "Old lady's words, don't miss your efforts, don't make the old county lord of the Chu State Mansion angry." ”

Good words can't persuade damned ghosts.

Seeing Ling Yan's face, Gu Shi obviously didn't understand his hard work, so he simply ignored it. Horizontally and vertically, it's not her who is ashamed!

Jin'er is right, who doesn't know that these two girls were not raised by themselves.

"Get in the car." Gu was lazy to talk to them, and beckoned to the back without saying a word, and the mother and daughter got into the first carriage. Ling Yan and Song Rongrong took the second car.

The two carriages shook for three quarters of an hour and then came to the Mansion of the Duke of Chu.

Compared with the Wuding Marquis Mansion, the regulation of the Guogong Mansion is much larger.

The carriage drove all the way to the gate of the public mansion, and there was a sedan chair waiting at the Yimen. Ling Miao waited for the sedan chair, and the four mothers-in-law lifted it up and sent it all the way to the inner courtyard.

Ling Yan sat in the sedan chair, her nervous palms were sweating, and finally she couldn't help it, picked up the corner of the sedan curtain, and secretly looked out.
