Chapter 16: Once Upon a Time and the Future
Xu Jue looked at her quietly.
Gu Mingzhu groaned slightly, and said, "This trip is in a hurry, and when I come back next time, I will definitely come to pay a visit." ”
His expression darkened, there was already news that Gu Ruyan had arrived in Jiangling a few days ago, and Yun Zhao was very attentive.
It seems that their wedding date is about to be set, how can there be a next time.
"Okay." Xu Jue said.
Gu Mingzhu thought about it again and again, but still said, "How is my brother doing recently?" ”
My brother has been away from home for half a year, she only came back half a year ago, and the two have not seen each other for almost three years.
Xu Jue said: "Very good, he has made a great contribution, he has been in the army for three years, and it's time to go home and take a look." ”
Gu Mingzhu said with a smile: "It would be better if I could catch up with the eighteenth of the next month, and on my father's fiftieth birthday, I invited the famous Chunyuan opera troupe to come to Gusu to have a good time." ”
"Uncle Gu's fiftieth birthday next month? It's time to be lively, I've been busy lately, so I shouldn't be able to go. ”
"I'll tell Daddy."
After settling the account, Xu Jue sent her back to Tongfu Inn, and the two said goodbye.
On the second floor of the inn, I pushed the window and looked out, and I could see the figures of people on the street from a distance.
This son-in-law of the king of Dingbei, who has a strong color in history, and a good son who has attracted the admiration of countless girls, why does he like her?
Gu Mingzhu thought to herself.
She didn't have much communication with Xu Jue in her previous life, the first meeting in Yangzhou was the first side, and her brother's marriage was the second side, and then there were occasional goodbyes and conversations, and the last meeting was that she was trapped in the Xuande Palace, which was the seventh year she married Yun Zhao, she was twenty-three years old, the emperor recognized Yun Zhao back to the royal family in the spring, and Yun Zhao became the new emperor in the three sons in the winter, but the queen was not the seventh year of her hair.
She was confined in the mansion a month before Yun Zhao seized the throne, and then the news of her brother's death came, she miscarried in depression, the Gu family was sealed, and she was the only one left in this world.
She was in this despair, losing weight day after day, but she didn't want to, there were more desperate things waiting for her.
On the day Yun Zhao ascended the throne, he gave amnesty to the world, Xu is news was too exciting, and the guards in the palace were much looser than usual, and she saw Xu Jue.
The man was dressed in black, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and with an absolute murderous aura, he took her all the way out of the palace.
But Jiangling is already the world of Yunzhao.
Ten thousand arrows pierced the heart, and before the temporary, he said willingly!
……
Gu Mingzhu remembered the past, her heart ached, and she couldn't help but close her eyes, and her heart quickly turned up with monstrous hatred.
Finger belly for marriage, childhood sweetheart, in the end, the end is a will: read in the past, give the whole corpse.
The son of a concubine in the cold palace, to ascend to the throne of the King of God, seven years! How much does the Gu family help him? I worked hard for his great cause, and I got a special gift for a whole corpse!
How could she not hate? How can you not hate!
Gu Mingzhu's eyes were scarlet, like a middle Gu.
Old man Yun is a far-sighted person, he already knew Yun Zhao's identity, and sought the marriage of the Gu family for him, Old Man Yun knew that his father loved his mother deeply, and he would not take a concubine, and his future daughter must be the daughter of the Gu family, and she must be favored by her family, and she will definitely be able to help Yun Zhao in the great cause in the future.
Old Man Yun was exactly what he expected, before the wedding, Yun Zhao told her all the mystery of his identity, and said that he felt that his mother had died for a reason, and wanted to find out the truth, she loved him deeply, loved what he loved, and hurt him, so she naturally fully supported him, and later she practiced martial arts, learned power and strategy, and worked hard for him.
Yun Zhao's seven years of actions she all knows, the Yun family is a hereditary marquis, and unlike the Xu family, the Yun family only has the corresponding fiefdom of Yulu, but has no real power. Yun Zhao stood out from the spring four years ago, successively served as different magistrates, and at the age of twenty-one, he was finally transferred back to Jiangling and served as Dali Siqing, Zheng Sanpin!
It's this year!
If memory serves, the announcement of the appointment of the Ministry of Rites has been released, and the Yun family must be very lively now.
And originally their wedding date was in July this year!
The elder brother was appointed in April.
Gu Mingzhu has not made any action until now, just waiting for April.
She wants to make sure that her brother's letter of appointment comes down, and then go to Gangneung, where there are her enemies!
There was a knock at the door, and soon the man's voice: "Girl." ”
The old thing sank, Gu Mingzhu stabilized his crazy mood, and then spoke: "What's the matter?" ”
"Just now, a man in blue asked me to give you something as a gift."
The boy in blue?
It's Xu Jue.
Gu Mingzhu opened the door, and the man handed over a wooden box, and the fine mahogany material was carved with a lifelike pear blossom, which was beautiful and exquisite.
Gu Mingzhu thanked him, closed the door, and opened it to see that he was stunned again.
Candied!
A whole box of preserves!
She likes sweets, and her favorite thing for snacks on weekdays is preserves.
He really knows her preferences.
Gu Mingzhu pinched one and stuffed it into her mouth, her mouth was very sweet, it was the kind of sweetness she liked.
It's a little bitter, it's the bitterness in his heart, it's the love he didn't let her know until he died.
Someone actually liked her for ten years!
Such an amazing person, would he actually like her such an elm?
It was a sleepless night.
The next day, Gu Mingzhu took the little maid to visit the Gu family's shop in Licheng early in the morning.
The cloth shop here is normal, but the Gu family is in the restaurant here, and when it comes to lunch, it only makes two or three tables.
The little girl's name is Ah San, and he came out of the restaurant with a food box and said, "Miss, I ordered a few signature dishes, Miss try them." ”
The two found a gazebo, and Ah San put the dishes on the table, and the appearance was acceptable.
Gu Mingzhu sandwiched a piece of shredded bamboo shoots, the taste was acceptable, and he tasted a few other dishes, which were not delicious or unpalatable.
She put down her chopsticks and asked, "How much did it cost?" ”
Ah San said: "More than thirty taels." ”
Gu Mingzhu sank his face: "More than thirty taels?" Four-course? ”
Gujia Restaurant has never ordered such an expensive price!
Dad said at the beginning that people take food as the sky, and food-related businesses must take into account the spending ability of ordinary people.
Ah San lowered his hand and said, "Miss, forgive me, I spent an extra ten taels when I left, and I got a message." ”
"Say."
"The four dishes cost more than 30 taels, the small one also had doubts, and spent money to buy a message for the little two, the little two said that the business of the restaurant was very good last year, since last year's Guan Da was gone, the dishes of the restaurant are much worse, but the price has not changed, the price is expensive and unpalatable, and soon no one cares."
Gu Mingzhu's knuckles slowly tapped on the stone table: "Do you say why don't you do it?" ”
"It was said that Guan Da was a cook who teased the back kitchen, and she was caught." Ah San paused and said, "But Xiao Er secretly told me that this should be deliberately framed by someone." ”
There are people in the Pingjing cloth shop who are making trouble, and the Licheng restaurant is strange......
Gu Mingzhu rubbed his eyebrows: "Have you heard where Guan Da lives?" ”
"I live in the alley of Licheng Dongcheng District."
"Let's go, let's see."
