Perhaps because Xichu faced Xia Liang's army and won a complete victory. The three armies returned with honor, and even God gave face to the outside.

It rained a little last night, but it was sunny in the morning.

The breeze is cool and the weather is clear, and people can't help but feel better.

"What do you think, you're in such a good mood" Gu Zichu lightly nodded Gu Jinxi's delicate and small nose, and took an orange to peel for her, "Tomorrow's palace banquet, the emperor has ordered hundreds of civil and military officials to participate with marriageable families." ”

Gu Jinxi's eyebrows raised slightly, "I heard that Princess Na Xirou has been widowed for ten years, if she is chosen"

"What do you want. Gu Zichu glanced at him angrily.

"Listening to what the third brother said, Princess Xirou should marry to Liangdu. ”

Formally, it can be regarded as a hostage left in Xichu by Xia Liang of the defeated country, of course, if the two countries fight again, it is unknown how much role a mere princess can have.

Gu Zichu slowly and methodically thinned the oranges, removed the white meridians, and fed them to Gu Jinxi's lips; Looking at Gu Jinxi's contented appearance like a little mouse, he couldn't help but be happy, "Indeed, but although Princess Xirou will be considered in the candidate, His Majesty should have considered it a long time ago." ”

"Yes. Gu Jinxi nodded, it was a bit too much to give a widow who was nearly thirty years old to a young man who was not as weak as the crown.

Thinking like this, Gu Jinxi was relieved.

"Wow. "Gu Zichu feed again.

Gu Jinxi smiled slightly, "Second brother hasn't had a favorite girl all these years?"

"You girl" Gu Zichu raised his hand and stuffed a petal of orange into his mouth, call it, it's too sweet to like it, so she simply made a feeder, talked and laughed with Gu Jinxi, and fed it from time to time.

When Su Yao brought Su Cen and Su Meng to visit, he happened to see such a scene.

"Knock, knock"

Gu Jinxi turned his head and saw the three brothers and sisters of the Su family, his eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth that were originally raised involuntarily fell a little, but he still chuckled politely, "It turned out that my cousin and cousins came." ”

"The relationship between the second cousin and the fourth cousin is really good. Su Cen seemed to have a strange color in his eyes.

My cousin laughed. Gu Zichu looked at Su Cen, thinking of the day he just came back, his brows frowned slightly, "My cousin and cousin came to find Xi'er for something."

Gu Jinxi chuckled, "Cousin is ready."

"Me. ”

Su Cen suddenly had a touch of embarrassment on her face, her thin lips pursed slightly, and she looked up at Gu Jinxi, who seemed to have a strong pleading color, "Fourth cousin, don't worry, wait for two days"

"What are you talking about" Gu Zichu and Su Yao were both a little puzzled.

"It's nothing, I asked my eldest cousin to help me draw a trick last time. Gu Jinxi lowered her head, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but there was a thick mockery in her eyes, "Second brother, you also know that I hate embroidery the most, but in a few days, it will be a full moon, and I, as a sister, can't prepare nothing." ”

Gu Zichu suddenly had dissatisfaction on his face, "My sister has never sent my brother, why don't I embroider a purse for my brother When I was in the barracks, the third son showed off, and you also asked the second brother to bring one to open their eyes." ”

"If the second cousin doesn't dislike it, Cen Er can" Su Cen lowered his head and said with a gentle smile.

Just before she finished speaking, Su Meng said loudly, "Isn't it just embroidering a purse, and it will be done in two hours." ”

Su Cen was suddenly a little speechless, and glared at Su Meng viciously.

As if realizing that he had said the wrong flower, Su Meng shrunk his neck, and Gu Zichu's eyes lit up when he looked at Gu Jinxi, "The left and right sisters are also idle, how about it is just two hours"

"Alright, alright. ”

Looking at Gu Zichu's more and more aggrieved appearance, Gu Jinxi raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

"Haha, it seems that it is better to come early than to come by chance, sister, don't forget the third brother's share. Gu Ziqian walked into the house, and originally saw that the Su family brothers and sisters were still a little dissatisfied from a distance, but for the sake of their own welfare, he spared them this time.

Gu Jinxi pursed her mouth, "You know how to bully me, I want to tell my father and mother." ”

"The relationship between your brother and sister is really good. Quickly sorted out his mood, Su Cen said lightly.

Gu Jinxi and Gu Ziqian and Gu Zichu all just smiled slightly.

"By the way, I don't know what happened to my cousin and two cousins coming to Muxi Pavilion today. Gu Jinxi turned her head and asked as if unintentionally, her round eyes just looked at them, giving people the illusion that she was very focused.

Su Cen was suddenly a little embarrassed, "Yes, that's the case." ”

"The eldest cousin has something to say, it's all family. Gu Jinxi opened his mouth lightly, but the indifference and alienation in his eyes did not mean a family at all.

When Su Cen heard this, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "In two days, it will be the full moon ceremony of Cousin Zi'an, and my grandmother and my father and mother plan to come to see my aunt in the cool air, after all, I haven't seen each other for decades." But you also know that my grandfather still has some nostalgia for my aunt.

"It's better to wait like this After the banquet in Ming'er Palace, I will personally go to Belvedere to pick them up. Gu Ziqian heard this, "Even if my grandfather is angry again, he will not be ugly with my junior." ”

Gu Zichu frowned, "But what if they don't come?"

"It's like going to Belvedere to inspect. Gu Ziqian didn't care, "My mother should also want to see my grandfather and grandmother." ”

"So there is work. Su Cen lowered his head.

Su Yao's eyes flashed suddenly, and he looked at Su Cen, why didn't he hear that his grandfather and they had the meaning of going to Liangdu, or did they want to play some tricks, don't think he doesn't know, if he wants to support Gu Zi'an, it's not so easy, hum

"Tomorrow's Palace Feast"

Although they are the young master and young lady of Gu Guogong's mansion, it is a bit far-fetched to count them among the family members.

When Gu Jinxi heard this, her heart suddenly woke up, looking at Su Cen's bright eyes, I heard that she has been very close to the official media recently, naturally it will not be for her own marriage, it can only be Su Meng, so which family she has a crush on will not really sell Su Meng for a few thousand taels of silver

As it turns out, nothing is impossible.

"Your Majesty ordered us to go with our families, and my cousins and cousins will naturally go with us. Gu Jinxi smiled lightly and said, "The palace is big, but when the time comes, my cousins and cousins should follow, don't go around, the palace is full of nobles, if something happens, it will not be good for everyone." ”

Su Cen nodded again and again, "Yes, it should be, it should be." ”

"If you don't have anything else to do, then I'll go and get busy. Gu Jinxi smiled faintly, gentle and elegant.

"Then we won't bother my cousin. ”

Although Su Cen still wanted to say something to Gu Zichu, she couldn't open her mouth in front of the public now, so she could only endure it, thinking of Gu Ziqi who had not come back yet, she would have to weigh it carefully when the time came.

It's day, noon.

Just after lunch, Gu Zichu took Gu Ziqian out to "contact" the relationship.

Ye An came back from outside and handed over the news to Ye Zhenniang, her brown bear-like eyes stared at her directly, and Ye Zhenniang's face was hot, "What are you looking at me like this." ”

"Zhenniang. The brown bear-like man spoke, with a slight grievance in his tone.

Ye Zhenniang was a little speechless, "What are you doing looking at me like this." ”

This kind of Ye An made her unable to refuse, but thinking of what she hadn't done yet, she could only be ruthless, "Lunch is ready in the room, you can go back quickly." ”

"No," Ye An still looked at her directly, "Zhenniang." ”

rumble

Ye Zhenniang suddenly felt that her brain was clouded, how did he learn this trick, it seemed that it was not a stupid bear in front of her, but a large long-haired dog creature, a stupid and cute sense of immediacy.

It's just that before she could react, the whole person had been picked up by Ye An and rushed towards the room, no matter how she struggled, Ye An just wouldn't let go.

In the room, the spring breeze is passing through, and it is warm.

After resting, it will be an hour later.

"You"

Ye Zhenniang tidied up her clothes, picked up the news that she hadn't had time to report before, and glared at Ye An with watery eyes shyly and timidly, "You can stay in the house well." ”

Ye An leaned on the bed rail, staring at the back of Ye Zhenniang leaving, so focused, so serious.

For his dependence, Ye Zhenniang didn't know, but the two of them couldn't get tired of being together all the time, now is different from the past, she still has a lot of things to do, unfolded the note and looked at it carefully, suddenly her face was a little ugly, she cursed fiercely in her heart, and her steps couldn't help but speed up.

"Miss. Ye Zhenniang's face was slightly gloomy.

The corners of Gu Jinxi's mouth raised slightly, and she smiled coldly, elegant and calm, "As expected." ”

"What are we going to do" Ye Zhenniang frowned.

"Do nothing. Gu Jinxi chuckled lightly and looked up at the sky, "It's not early, let's go see how the sister's face tearing is going."

Ye Zhenniang nodded a little stunned.

"But before that, Zhenniang should go back to the room to change her clothes first, Uncle An is too rude. Gu Jinxi lowered her head, with a happy look on her face.

Ye Zhenniang's face suddenly turned red, turned her head to look at the bronze mirror on the dresser, on the side of her neck, there were a few purple-red lip prints, thinking of the ambiguous looks of those maids when she came over before, she suddenly just hated to find a crack to get into, "That stupid bear, I"

"Hehe, Uncle An likes you. ”

No one can deny Ye An's liking for her, he really loves her with his life. Ke Rao was like this, and was teased by a junior in such an ambiguous and playful tone, and she couldn't bear it, "Miss, I'll go back to the room first." ”

Just dropped a sentence and slipped away quickly.

"Miss, what did you do to Zhenniang" Banxia, who had just returned from outside, was puzzled.

"Hehe, nothing. Gu Jinxi smiled softly, "Everything you prepared is ready."

"Hmm. Banxia nodded, "The clothes, shoes and socks of the two young ladies and young masters have already been sent, and there are also matching heads, but miss, why are you so good to them, they were still thinking about it before"

Gu Jinxi chuckled, "Okay, in the end, going out is also the face of our Gu Guogong Mansion." ”

"Those two sets of heads are worth a lot of money. "Although it is something at the bottom of the box in the treasury, it is given to Su Cen and Su Meng for nothing, Banxia still feels unwilling.

Gu Jinxi shook her head, "If you like it, Miss Gai Ming'er, I will also give you two sets." ”

"Who is rare. Banxia pouted.

"Okay, okay, it's not too early, go to the main courtyard to see Zi'an, and save their sisters from making trouble with their mothers. Gu Jinxi chuckled, tomorrow's palace banquet, because Su Yi can not participate in the confinement, then the Gu family's daughter should be Mrs. Gu; Thinking of this, her brows furrowed; Aunt Liu has no follow-up, and the mysterious Gu Jinyu.

Yusheng lives there, and after checking for a long time, after many years, he still has no clue.

"Miss, don't think about it. ”

As soon as he arrived at the main courtyard, before he had time to enter the house, he saw Steward Fu leading a man in a dark gray brocade robe embroidered with gold thread and auspicious cloud pattern to hold a shelf, followed by four maids holding trays in their hands, covered with red satin, and two small servants behind carrying boxes.

Gu Jinxi frowned, and his words were puzzled, "Steward Fu is"

"Hehe, Xue Hai, the housekeeper of the Xia Nai Rui Palace, was ordered by the prince to send something to Miss Gu. Xue Hai lowered his head and smiled faintly, but his eyes looked at Gu Jinxi without a trace, as if he still had a strange look in his eyes.

Sensitive as Gu Jinxi, how could she not notice Xue Hai's faint glance at her, and there seemed to be an inexplicable hostility, "There is Steward Xue, but it is useless, please ask Steward Xue to bring these things back." ”

"The prince's order, the little one dare not disobey it. Xue Hai lowered his head and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, "If Miss Gu doesn't like it, please tell the prince directly." ”

Seeing this, Steward Fu immediately hurriedly made a comeback, "Steward Xue, my young lady, she just doesn't want the prince to break the bank." ”

"After all, it is the future Princess Rui, this is not dressed decently, and it will be a loss of face for the prince. Xue Hai said coldly.

"Oh" Gu Jinxi suddenly became angry when she heard this, "Steward Xue is saying that my Gu Guogong Mansion can't even afford a decent piece of clothes" Saying that, she tiptoed, her light body had already walked in front of the maid holding the tray, raised her hand to tear open the red cloth, and looked at the delicate hollow gold inlaid jade bracelet, the top jade hosta, elegant and luxurious, but not tacky necklace

Banxia looked at her young lady's calm appearance and swallowed her saliva with difficulty.

"Bang"

As soon as Gu Jinxi raised her hand, the maid holding the tray didn't expect her to suddenly get into trouble, and suddenly all the jewelry fell to the ground;

"Miss Gu, what do you mean by this" Xue Hai's eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was full of hidden anger.

"What are you, and you dare to shout in front of Miss Ben. Gu Jinxi raised her chin and snorted softly, "Even if your prince comes in person, you don't dare to talk to Miss Ben like this." ”

When Xue Hai heard this, he was immediately annoyed, "Disrespectful to the prince, looking for death"

"If you have the ability, you can do it. Make a move here, I thank you for your eighteenth generation ancestors" Gu Jinxi pointed to his chest and looked at Xue Hai, whose eyes were red and faintly murderous, "Come, come here." ”

Xue Hai's eyes widened.

"Miss, just say a few words. ”

Looking at this sudden state of affairs, Steward Fu suddenly panicked.

Gu Jinxi snorted lightly, "Don't talk big if you don't dare to do it, hum disrespectfully to the prince, I see Qin Rui another day, I want to ask him what he thinks of Miss Ben, when will even the dog of Rui Wangfu bark at me." ”

"You" Xue Hai gritted his teeth angrily.

"Get out of the Gu Guogong Mansion with these things," Gu Jinxi's face sank.

"Let's go, don't regret it, huh"

The moment Xue Hai lowered his head, there seemed to be a strange color in his eyes, faintly with the pleasure of succeeding.

"Regret" Gu Jinxi snorted lightly, "Miss Ben never regrets it. ”

That kind of thing, she has tasted all the hardships in her previous life, and in this life, she is the only one who makes others regret it. It's just that Xue Hai's inexplicable hostility towards her made her feel a little curious, could it be that he liked Qin Rui

"Steward Xue, Steward Xue"

Steward Fu looked at Xue Hai's back and jumped to his feet angrily, "Miss, that's the housekeeper of King Rui's Mansion." ”

"So what" Gu Jinxi raised her eyebrows.

"You're going to marry into the Rui King's Mansion in the future. "Isn't this taking advantage of the time to please the people around the prince, and there will still be a place for her by the prince's side at that time

Gu Jinxi snorted lightly, "You mean that after Miss Ben gets married, this Princess Rui is not as good as a housekeeper."

Steward Fu, ""

"Alright, get this place in order. Gu Jinxi looked at the mess on the ground, "Don't let my father and my mother know." ”

"But," Steward Fu frowned.

"Nothing good. Gu Jinxi glanced at him coldly, "It's still Steward Fu, who is tired of doing this, and wants to change his position."

Steward Fu suddenly lowered his head, "It's small, I don't know anything." ”

"Very well, Miss Ben likes people who know the times. Gu Jinxi chuckled.

Banxia looked at Gu Jinxi worriedly, worried about the crazy abnormality that suddenly flashed just now, "Miss, are you okay?"

"What can I do. Gu Jinxi's eyes darkened.

Su Yi, who faintly heard movement in the house, but couldn't go out, was very anxious at the moment, walking around the house, until Gu Jinxi entered the house, she hurriedly pulled Gu Jinxi, "What happened outside just now"

"It's nothing, the maid who just came clumsily dropped the teacup, and I gave her a second lecture. Gu Jinxi understated, turned her head to look at Gu Zi'an on the small bed next to her, "Zi'an didn't trouble you today."

Mama Su smiled and touched the freshly brewed tea, "The little master is very good-raised, he screams when he is hungry, sleeps when he is full, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all." ”

"Well, if my mother can't hold on, I'll call the nurse to come, but I can't exhaust my body. Gu Jinxi looked at Su Yi, who was getting thinner and thinner, and frowned.

Su Yi shook her head, "Where can I be, I didn't raise you four brothers and sisters like this at the beginning." It's Xi'er, you, Ming'er's palace banquet"

"Don't worry. Gu Jinxi shook his head.

"I'm not worried about you, it's just the three of them" Su Yi frowned, the three concubines in the house had accidents one after another, and now only Gu Jinyu is still intact, if something happens to Gu Jinyu again.

Although she was still in confinement and did not go out, she faintly heard the rumors in Liangdu City. Naturally, she is not biased as the main mother and mother-in-law, but she can't avoid the hearts of those speculative people and those who deliberately slander the Gu Guo Mansion.

Gu Jinxi took Su Yi's hand, "Mother, don't worry, eat a trench and grow wise, not to mention that anyone who understands right and wrong knows that as for those who chew the root of the tongue, what do you know like them." ”

"My mother has experienced a lot of rumors, and my mother was worried about you back then"

How many eyes she suffered when she eloped with Gu Huai back then; even in Blue City, Gu Huai became the prefect, but how many of those local rich squires held on to this matter, and even openly provoked; she was worried that Gu Jinxi was young and vigorous, and her temper was short-tempered, and if she had a conflict with others.

"Don't worry, my daughter knows what to do. Gu Jinxi lowered his head and turned the conversation, "The two cousins haven't come over again in the past two days."

Su Yi shook her head, "With a debt of thousands of taels on their backs, where do they dare to come." Lesson to lesson, Xi'er don't push them to be anxious, in the end, your grandmother has a life-saving grace for your mother, and I am sorry for them first. ”

"Mother, I'm measured. Gu Jinxi smiled softly.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Gu Jinxi left under the pretext.

It's just that on the road, Banxia is still a little worried, "Miss, are you really okay with the housekeeper of Rui Wangfu like this today?"

"Rest assured. ”

If Qin Rui is really the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, then some things are unnecessary. What's more, did he deliberately send Xue Hai over or did Xue Hai dare to do it is Qin Rui's intention, or

Some things have to be figured out before they can start, and it seems that she has to find time to talk to Wuhuan.

Xue Haike, who returned to the Rui Wang's Mansion, did not have such a good fate.

"Bang"

Qin Rui's face was frosty, and he raised his hand to slap Xue Hai out with a palm, hitting the rockery outside the door, and spewing out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

"Ye Xi is angry" Yang Fan knelt on one knee and lowered his head, he understood Xue Hai's thoughts in his heart, but Miss Gu was the person that Ye personally fancied about, didn't he hit the muzzle of the gun himself

Qin Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was hard to see, "Who made you do this?"

"Master, then Gu Jinxi is not worthy of you at all"

Xue Hai still stiffened his neck.

"Then who is worthy" The corners of Qin Rui's mouth hooked obliquely, with a cold mockery, "Xue Xi?"

Hearing his sister's name, Xue Hai was silent for a moment, "Xi'er is sincere to his master." ”

"Really, huh. Qin Rui glanced at him coldly, when he really didn't know what their brothers and sisters were secretly doing, they didn't care about it on weekdays, but they didn't touch his bottom line, but now, "There is no need for dog slaves around this king to make their own decisions, get out"

Xue Hai suddenly panicked, "Master forgive the sin." ”

"Master, please give Xue Hai another chance. In the end, he is a brother who has been together for many years, and Yang Fan is also a little unbearable.

"Master. Xue Hai gritted his teeth.

"Go to the Flame Hell to receive the punishment, if there is a next time, hum. Qin Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, glowing with a cold light.

"The subordinates understand. ”

Xue Hai clutched his chest and exited the room.

Yang Fan chased after him and wanted to say something, but he just patted him on the shoulder.

"She said it's not uncommon" Qin Rui leaned against the lattice with his hands on his chest, his eyes squinted slightly, and he seemed to have a casual and lazy look, but Yang Fan, who was familiar with him, understood that his master was really angry, Xue Hai was disrespectful, and Miss Gu instinctively retorted; but now he is not helping anyone; to be honest, it is not hurting Xue Hai; saying that Miss Gu is disdainful, wouldn't that add fuel to the fire and want to remain silent.

"Bang"

Suddenly, only a loud bang was heard.

With Qin Rui himself as the center of the three meters and the like, everything was shattered, and the fragments burst into his body, Yang Fan only felt the pain in his heart, "She said it's not rare"

"Master, calm down. Yang Fan immediately cursed Xue Hai ten thousand times in his heart.

Qin Rui's eyes were red, and even bloodshot, thinking of the cringe and fear with that beautiful face, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his chest.

"Hmm"

Yang Fan suddenly swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "Miss Gu may just be angry, and what she said is angry." ”

"Seriously" Qin Rui's voice was cold, and it seemed to have a strange color.

"Definitely, definitely. Yang Fan nodded fiercely, "Doesn't my subordinates remember that there is a skirt embroidered with silk in the house, I heard that Miss Gu washed Xuemei, and asked the embroidery lady in the house to embroider Xuemei on the skirt of Wangxian and send it to her, she will definitely like it." ”

You must know that Miss Xue Xi used that thing as a threat, and tried all kinds of methods to get the dress, but her father was indifferent; he originally thought that the skirt was to be reserved for the concubine, but now he actually agreed to give it to Miss Gu, what does this mean

Qin Rui nodded, "You do it yourself." ”

"Yes, the subordinates will go immediately. ”

Walking out of the room, Yang Fan suddenly exhaled a long breath of turbidity, who said that a companion is like a tiger, it is clear that his own master is a tiger. Well, he really didn't mean to.

The sun is setting in the west, and the twilight is fading.

Ye Zhenniang walked in with a tray, with a slight worry on her face, "Miss, you"

"You're back" When Gu Jinxi turned her head to see Ye Zhenniang, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she chuckled, "I know that Banxia's girl is unreliable." ”

"Miss, what are you going to marry into the Rui Palace, and making the relationship too stiff with Steward Xue is not good for you in the future. "Ye Zhenniang has lived for decades and hasn't seen anything, and this young lady in her own house is still too angry.

Gu Jinxi lowered her head and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, in this world, unless the master lives again and Master Puji makes a move, those masters who live in seclusion are not counted, she dares to say that Qin Rui will not find a second person who can solve the poison of a dream for a thousand years, his life is in her hands. But with this, he didn't dare to do anything to her, which was why Gu Jinxi dared to be so arrogant to Xue Hai.

"Summoning the order to let Lu Ruan and them check the Rui Palace, I always feel that Xue Hai's hostility towards me is too inexplicable. ”

She thought that it was the first time she had met Xue Hai, and she had no grievances in the past and no hatred in the near future, so this should not happen. Unless, there is some secret that she doesn't know, and this matter must be related to Qin Rui, thinking of this, she suddenly chuckled, and only then did she solve the trouble of Chun Yuyun, could it be that Qin Rui was a sick man

"Well, I'll let them pay attention. Ye Zhenniang put the tray on the small table beside Gu Jinxi, sat down sideways, and her face was solemn, "By the way, Miss, be careful from Qianyunju's side, the two cousins have left the Guogong Mansion half an hour ago, and they only brought their own personal maids with them;

The corners of Gu Jinxi's mouth raised slightly, and there was a strange light in his eyes, "Have you found out where they connect?"

"Left Prime Minister's Mansion. Ye Zhenniang's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Oh" Gu Jinxi's tail voice rose, with a strange color, "This lady of the left prime minister is a bold one, then Su Meng knows the truth"

Ye Zhenniang shook her head, "Su Cen told her that she was just going to Zuo Xiangfu as a guest, and the young lady of Zuo Xiangfu's family got quite close to Su Meng on weekdays, presumably Su Meng also meant to get closer." ”

After all, the reason why Su Cen and Su Meng came all the way from Belvedere to Yundu was to climb the high branches.

"Closer relationship, this relationship is really a day away. Gu Jinxi got up and patted the non-existent dust on his body, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he took out a set of neat and neat suits in the wardrobe and put them on, "It's not early, let's hurry up, if you miss the hour, you won't be able to watch a good show." ”

"Hmm. Ye Zhenniang lowered her head.

Banxia looked at the two people who were ready, lowered his head and looked slightly disappointed on his face.

"Take care of your home and be adaptable. Ye Zhenniang patted Banxia's shoulder and said softly.

"Hmm. Banxia responded.

Although she can't fight side by side with the young lady, she can do it to protect their home. Thanks to Gu Jinxi, Banxia's status in the entire Guogong Mansion is not low, although she never takes a stand, but who doesn't know that she is Gu Jinxi's confidant, and she has to weigh a few points in front of her.

In the past, Gu Guogong's Mansion and Aunt Liu and Miss Lan could compete with Gu Jinxi, but now, not to mention that others and even the old lady didn't have the spirit to find fault, not to mention that the second young master was back, Gu Jinxi's backers became more and more powerful. When the eldest young master also comes back, this Gu Guogong Mansion will be completely her world.

When the night completely enveloped the entire Liangdu City.

The breeze is gentle, and the lights are on.

The arrival of night did not make the city quiet, from far and near, the brightly lit courtyards one after another, the whole city seemed to be more and more bustling and noisy.

Avoid the crowds and come to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Miss, here. Ye Zhenniang grabbed Gu Jinxi's waist, toe lightly, and flew towards the rockery next to her with a stone, and the guards were immediately transferred, and they took the opportunity to hide in the flowers closest to the room, "Look over there." ”

Through the open window, you can see the scene inside the house very clearly.

Su Cen sat sideways in the chair, seemingly with a satisfied smile on his face, holding the teacup and taking small sips.

"Miss Su, there's nothing wrong with Sister Ling" Sitting across from her, the richly dressed woman was obviously still a little worried, and her eyebrows frowned slightly and looked into the inner room.

"Mrs. Zuo Xiang, rest assured, there is nothing wrong with my sister. Su Cen stopped, "Although her temperament is a little more uninhibited on weekdays, Su Cen believes that Mrs. Zuo Xiang will teach her etiquette well." As he spoke, he seemed to have a little sadness and apology on his face, "In fact, with the identity of our Su family, it is Gao Pan." ”

Mrs. Zuo Xiang's eyes quickly flashed with a touch of disdain, but she quickly returned to normal, "In this case, although our family Anzhi has some intellectual disabilities, if Miss Su Meng is unwilling, our Zuo family is not willing to force it." ”

"As the saying goes, marriage is a major event, the life of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, how can she be willing or not. Su Cen lowered his head and smiled slightly, "Not to mention the words of the eldest sister as a mother, I have already written to inform my father and mother that they will go to Liangdu another day to discuss the marriage of the two families." ”

Mrs. Zuo's eyes lit up suddenly, but she glanced at Su Cen, "Oh, why does Miss Su want today?"

"As the saying goes, late changes, Meng'er has always been spoiled by us. Su Cen lowered his head, "Su Cen must have said what Lord Huang had said to Mrs. Zuo before. ”

Mrs. Zuo bowed slightly, "But this kind of thing, no matter what, is not very decent." ”

"This"

Su Cen lowered his head and chuckled, "Then it depends on whether Mrs. Zuo is willing or not." After all, my second brother participated in this year's Enke, and there are many places that need to be taken care of, so don't hide it from Mrs. Zuo, Su Cen does have some tight needs now, but if his parents don't agree, Su Cen will never dare to make his own decisions. ”

"That's fine. "For Su Cen's honesty, Mrs. Zuo Xiang looked at her highly.

"That being the case. Mrs. Zuo glanced at the grandmother beside her, and the grandmother beside her immediately touched the wooden box that had been prepared long ago, opened it, and there were bright gold bars at the top, and a stack of silver tickets were pressed below;

The corners of Mrs. Zuo's mouth hooked obliquely, and she snorted softly in her heart, "Are these enough?"

"Enough, enough. Su Cen stretched out his tongue and licked his chapped lips gently, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to take the box that was no longer a wooden box, and in Su Cen's eyes, it was simply a box of Jinshan.

Who knew that Mrs. Zuo Xiang's hand suddenly turned a corner, "Eh, don't worry." ”

"Mrs. Zuo, you are"

Su Cen's eyes suddenly darkened.

"This is a dowry for your Su family. Mrs. Zuo smiled slightly, "I can give you the money, but you also have to give me a guarantee, although my lord is a prime minister, but this money is not blown by the wind." ”

Su Cen nodded, "This is natural, natural;

"I heard my girl say that Su Meng is also a good one, and I just want to find a daughter-in-law who can take care of my family, so I have to give me this birthday. Mrs. Zuo smiled faintly.

Birthday can not be given casually, in addition to the parents and elders of the boudoir women, the birth of the eight characters can only be handed over to the matchmaker or the husband's family, of course, the matchmaker naturally has requirements, if they dare to disclose the birth date of the unmarried daughter, the government can send them directly to prison, if the circumstances are serious, they can even behead, and even implicate the nine clans. That Su Meng's birthday is the most suitable in Mrs. Zuo's opinion.

It's just that Su Cen was stunned, "This"

"Su Meng is going to marry into my Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and we naturally won't harm her. Mrs. Zuo chuckled, "It's 20,000 taels of silver here, if you take the money, Su Meng will run away by then, who will I go to when the time comes, empty gloves white wolf, Miss Su's business is not like this." ”

Su Cen hesitated, "Okay. ”

"Good. After getting Su Meng's birthday, a big stone in Mrs. Zuo Xiang's heart was finally put down.

Although she knew in her heart that Su Meng did not voluntarily join the Zuo Xiangfu, as long as she married in, there were some things that she would not be able to do or not;

Thinking about it, Mrs. Zuo Xiang finally showed a comfortable smile on her face, "In this case, the hour is not early, should Miss Su go and see your sister, after all"

Su Cen looked up at Mrs. Zuo.

"Well, leave this room to your sisters to whisper, and it will be impossible to do this in the future. Mrs. Zuo chuckled, "Hey, in fact, think about it, when Mrs. Ben was a girl, she and her sisters in the family were just like this, so let's not talk about it." ”

With that, Mrs. Zuo and Mama all exited the room.

Ye Zhenniang and Gu Jinxi glanced at each other, and their bodies involuntarily leaned back; Mrs. Xu is Zuo was in a good mood, so she walked directly towards the gate of the courtyard, but she didn't notice that there were two more uninvited guests in the courtyard.

Mrs. Zuo left, and the guards of the courtyard also left.

Only Ye Zhenniang and Gu Jinxi were left in the entire courtyard, as well as Su Cen and Su Meng in the house.

The two of them got up, quickly stuck to the hidden position by the wall, and looked inside through the thin curtain, only to see Su Meng's hands tied behind her back, her feet tied, and the whole person tied to the bed, her legs bent, and a white towel tied to her mouth;

"Dreams. Su Cen sat sideways at the head of the bed, just looking at Su Meng quietly without the slightest intention of untying her.

Su Meng was stunned for a moment, looking at Su Cen, her face was stunned, as if she understood something, but soon, her eyes were round, and she stared at Su Cen deadly, "Hmm, hmm"

"Meng'er, my sister was also forced, don't blame me. Su Cen's eyes quickly flashed a ruthless look, "If you want to blame you, blame that Gu Jinxi, when my sister marries into the Gu Guo Mansion in the future, she will avenge you." Mrs. Zuo promised her sister that she would treat you well, you"

Su Meng looked at such a strange Su Cen and kept shaking his head.

Tears continued to fall down the corners of her eyes, and as she struggled, the cloth cloth hurt her wrists, but she didn't seem to feel it at all, she desperately wanted to speak, but she could only make a "hmm" sound.

"Meng'er, this may be the last time our sisters will speak well. Su Cen showed a touch of desolation on his face, and raised his hand to untie the cloth towel in Su Meng's mouth.

Su Meng opened her mouth and smacked her face, "Su Cen, you are shameless"

"Hehe, is it shameless" Su Cen lowered his head and did not refute.

"Six thousand taels, just because of six thousand taels, you sold me" Su Meng stared at Su Cen with dead eyes, "You are really my good sister." I want to marry my cousin, ha, haha, do you really think they don't know what tricks you play?"

Su Cen raised his hand and gently wiped the saliva on his face with a handkerchief, but he was unexpectedly not angry, "Hmph, yes, and the person I want to marry is Gu Ziqi, only by marrying him, I will be the future master of Gu Guogong's mansion."

"You dream" Su Meng gritted his teeth.

"Just wait and see. Su Cen's eyes quickly crossed a dark color, and he turned his head to look at Su Meng, who was sweating profusely, "Don't struggle, Mrs. Zuo gave a dowry of 20,000 taels, don't worry, my sister can't treat you badly." ”

"Aren't you afraid that your father and mother will settle accounts with you" Su Meng was vicious, almost squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth.

"Daddy, haha, don't worry, how can your wedding be without your daddy. Suzen chuckled.

Suddenly, Su Meng only felt that her heart was cold, and she kept shaking her head, "No, no, it won't be like this, isn't it you, is it what you said to your father?"

"Hehe, Meng'er, you're really smart, it's a pity" is a bad move in the end.

"Su Cen, you" Su Meng struggled, "I fought with you"

But in the end, the whole person was tied up, and he struggled and fell directly from the bed to the ground, curled up in a ball, looking painful, but Su Cen didn't mean to help at all, but looked at her condescendingly, "I am the eldest daughter of the Su family, shouldn't you sacrifice for me?"

"Ha, haha. You sold me, do you want me to be grateful to you for selling me for a good price" Su Meng gritted his teeth, and his tone was also vicious.

Su Cen looked at Su Meng, there was darkness in her eyes, and there was a slight struggle, but in the end, self-interest prevailed, she took a deep breath, "No matter what, from now on you will be a member of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, you had better settle down, and when the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you as a sister." ”

"You" Su Meng knew that he couldn't escape, lowered his head and lowered his eyelids, "Why"

Su Cen, ""

"Why is it just because of six thousand taels, the love of our sisters is not worth the six thousand taels of silver, isn't it" Su Meng said at the end, his tone suddenly rose, with a thick poignant
