Chapter 243: The Way Out
Gu Jingjue took a deep breath and swallowed the unwillingness in her heart.
Ignore Ruixue's somewhat contemptuous eyes, and replace them with the docile expression that often practices alone in front of the mirror.
"What Princess Ning said is that my Gu family has no capital, and my father does not allow me to use the military and political affairs in the north as a bargaining chip, even if the left minister coerces and tempts, he has never compromised."
Rui Xue scolded secretly in her heart, she knew that Jiang Huai, an old fox, would definitely not give up when she saw that Zhao Fengnian was useless.
Fortunately, Gu Jingjue's father and daughter were able to carry it clearly, and they didn't get on Jiang Huai's thief ship.
Zhao Fengnian's eyes are quite accurate, and it is no wonder that he will strongly recommend Gu Chengyun to take charge of the military and politics in the north on his behalf.
Rui Xue knew that Gu Jingjue's purpose in saying these words was nothing more than to show her intentions and remind herself that their father and daughter were from King Ning's side.
For the sake of King Ning, he lost some opportunities, and now he is not asking for too much in return.
Rui Xue is not unwilling to help Gu Jingjue, but she doesn't like Gu Jingjue's half-request, half-coercive attitude.
Picking her fingers a little carelessly, she wanted to see how far Gu Jingjue could go for this.
"Isn't this what General Gu should do, the person who recommended him is King Ning, if he does not hesitate to hook up with Zuo Xiang for the sake of immediate interests, do you think it is possible for your father to go to the north."
Gu Jingjue frowned slightly, shocked that she had said the wrong thing, Rui Xue had always played cards out of common sense.
She said this, if the words reached King Ning's ears, wouldn't it make King Ning suspicious of his father.
But the words have already been spoken, and it's too late to take them back.
I could only bite the bullet and say: "Princess Ning misunderstood, this matter could not have been involved in my father and King Ning in the first place, so I came to ask Princess Ning to give me a chance in my personal name." ”
Rui Xue sneered when she heard this: "Isn't what you said inconsistent, if you want to cooperate with me, isn't the only bargaining chip in your hand your father's official position." Again, in your own name. What do you have, and what can you do for me when you go to the North. ”
Gu Jingjue has some scheming, but most of those scheming are forced to use it when they are forced to use it.
It doesn't work at all here in Ruixue.
In a few words, Rui Xue broke the defense.
No matter how strong she is, she is just a girl of seventeen or eighteen, and her eyes, which were already red, instantly shed tears.
didn't want Rui Xue, who was watching her jokes, to see it, and her aggrieved face was deformed.
Rui Xue saw Gu Jingjue like this, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart.
She needs help, acting as a vicarious role in the North.
It stands to reason that with Gu Chengyun's relationship, Gu Jingjue is a very suitable candidate.
But Gu Jingjue is too purposeful and not honest enough.
Ruixue always has to test her determination before she can trust this matter to her.
Rui Xue was not worried that if she really rejected Gu Jingjue, she would turn her head to find a way out for Jiang Huai.
Even if she was willing, Zhao Fengnian was afraid that she would not be willing.
Seeing that he couldn't continue to talk about this, Gu Jingjue's heart was also half cold.
It was a mistake in her judgment that she was too anxious.
If it was in King Ning's Mansion that day, Rui Xue asked her if she would like to go to the north to help deal with the affairs of Shantang.
She promised to come down and find another opportunity to talk to Rui Xue about participating in business, and she shouldn't refuse herself.
It's because I missed the opportunity, and now I have no reason to complain about Ruixue.
What's more, she is an unpopular existence in the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto.
Previously, in order to obtain information from the north, he deliberately approached Qiqilu.
She is probably already an untrustworthy person in Rui Xue's eyes.
Thinking of this, Gu Jingjue got up and said goodbye with some frustration.
Rui Xue was a little worried about handing over such an important matter as the Northern Trade Route to Gu Jingjue.
But it's not that he doesn't want to give her a chance.
got up to send him off, looked at Gu Jingjue's somewhat lonely back and said.
"My previous proposal is still valid, the matter of the Northern Realm Good Hall, if you are willing, there are some matters, I can still hand over to you to assist."
Gu Jingjue didn't believe her ears a little, turned around happily, and agreed without thinking about it.
Rui Xue chuckled, looking at Jing Jue's expression, somewhat sincere.
"That's it, before you go, you can help bring a batch of supplies. I will prepare well in the next few days, and you will bring someone to pick it up around the tenth day of the new year. ”
Gu Jingjue believed it at this time, Rui Xue really gave herself a chance.
"It's a deal."
Rui Xue smiled and agreed: "A word is decided, and I will talk to you in detail when the time comes." ”
Seeing that it was noon, Rui Xue stayed with Gu Jingjue to eat before leaving.
Gu Jingjue waved her hand and said to Rui Xue: "No, this matter must not be sloppy, I will go back to prepare earlier." Princess Ning stayed. ”
Sending Gu Jingjue away, Rui Xue turned around to find Rong Niang.
Lunch has been set on the table, and Rong Niang is waiting for Ruixue to come back.
After washing his hands, he hurriedly pulled Ruixue to the table and sat down.
"How, did you run back to the tears of the people."
Rui Xue took the dishes and chopsticks handed by Rong Niang and looked at her with some curiosity.
"Almost. But how do you know, she will be angry and cry, Gu Jingjue looks quite arrogant and strong. ”
Rong Niang blinked, with a look of excitement to share gossip with her best friend.
"Back when I didn't know you, she just came to Kyoto and squeezed into our circle, and she was angry and cried many times by other sisters. But slowly, her face became thicker, and she only didn't see or hear the little things, and she stayed by herself when she was angry, but she still loved to join in the fun. ”
Rui Xue pouted: "You guys are really ruthless, she didn't do anything wrong, why do you always bully her." ”
Rong Niang nodded: "Well, although everyone may think like this in their hearts, the environment is different, there are more people together, and they will always do something inappropriate and say something insincere." Only when you hurt others can you show your superiority. ”
Ruixue shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand the evil thoughts that these girls were inspired to come together.
Rong Niang helped Rui Xue pick up the dishes.
"Everyone has a dark shadow in their hearts, they can't be outsiders, they can't be shown in front of others, sometimes if you are a little lax, it will spread, and you will do something that you are afraid of in hindsight."
Rui Xue wanted to applaud Rong Niang for being able to say such philosophical words.
After this girl came back from the dead, she was really transparent and matured a lot.
"By the way, those things of yours, I asked Gu Jingjue to help bring them to the north, most of them are yellow and white things, go with you, it will definitely not be safe on the road. Tell her to take it with you and go with the army, and you can save a lot of trouble. ”
Rong Niang nodded in agreement, Rui Xue's arrangement would not be wrong.
"Eat quickly, it'll be cold in a while, accompany me to meet someone in the afternoon, I will ask money to help buy some cheap paper and books, and I can deliver them in the afternoon."
