Chapter 65: The Humble Horse
Qin Shuhuang stepped on Gu Hongchao's back and got out of the carriage, standing by the carriage, everyone looked at the exquisitely dressed Qin Shuhuang, at this moment, everyone felt that Qin Shuhuang was the real emperor of Dawu!
After Qin Shuhuang got out of the carriage, Gu Hongchao immediately got up from the ground and straightened his waist, as if as long as he got up fast enough, he had never done such a humiliating thing just now.
Qin Shuhuang finally got out of the carriage, and he was finally willing to look back at the mansion, and it was because he sacrificed his self-esteem in exchange for it, Gu Hongchao couldn't help but be more concerned about this matter.
Gu Hongchao, who had never seen Qin Shuhuang once in a month, actually followed behind Qin Shuhuang for the first time, enduring the humiliation just now.
Shilan Shiyu next to her was shocked when she heard what the colt said, and the two glanced at each other, almost thinking that the colt had been taken away.
Seeing Gu Hongchao like this, Xuan Cang suddenly felt extremely dazzling.
He deliberately stepped forward, his tall body moved slightly, and with skill, he squeezed Gu Hongchao away from behind Qin Shuhuang.
Although Gu Hongchao also practices martial arts on weekdays, it is also a three-legged cat kung fu, where can he compare with Xuan Cang, he was squeezed away by Xuan Cang in an instant, and stumbled to the side twice, if it weren't for Gu Hongchao's quick eyes, he helped Gu Hongchao in time, I am afraid that Gu Hongchao will lose face for the second time today.
Although Qin Shuhuang's expression did not change, he also heard the movement behind him, and when Gu Hongchao was squeezed away, Qin Shuhuang turned his head slightly to look at Xuan Cang behind him, and Xuan Cang immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at Qin Shuhuang.
Qin Shuhuang, who had always had a serious face, suddenly showed a faint smile at Xuan Cang.
When he turned around, Qin Shuhuang returned to being a dignified and serious eldest princess.
Rao is heart is angry, he can't torture Qin Shuhuang to death now, but his son has already sacrificed his dignity, and Mrs. Gu can't ignore it at this time.
She squeezed out a kind smile and greeted Qin Shuhuang, "It was the Hong Dynasty that was bad before, which made His Highness angry, and now His Highness can relieve his anger?" If you are not angry, wait until you return to your yard, and you will punish him! Anyway, Hongchao will rest in your yard for the past month, you have a chance, and with me, he will definitely not dare to resist. ”
Qin Shuhuang glanced lightly at Mrs. Gu, who said this, but he didn't expect that for the sake of profit, Mrs. Gu could even do something to sell her son.
What a good mother!
"Thank you Mrs. Gu for supporting this palace, if there is anything wrong with the horse, this palace will not be polite."
Gu Hongchao followed behind Qin Shuhuang and his mother with his head bowed, his fists clenched at his sides, his face was gloomy, although he was unwilling in his heart, but at this time he had to follow his mother's words and said: "Your Highness is not happy, although you are angry with Weichen." ”
Gu Yufei glared at his brother with hatred, didn't his brother hate Qin Shuhuang before, how could he say these words at this time to please Qin Shuhuang!
After Gu Yuling got off the carriage, she was sent back to her small courtyard by her mother-in-law, and she did not see this scene at the door.
Qin Shuhuang, accompanied by Gu Hongchao's wife Gu Yufei, entered the Gu Mansion, and at the same time walked to the backyard where she used to live.
The carriages brought by Qin Shuhuang also followed into the Gu Mansion, and they were personally escorted by the guards, not allowing the Gu Mansion to approach for the time being.
Looking at so many cars and horses, the people of the Gu Mansion who secretly came to see the excitement were discussing.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has brought so many good things to the mansion again?"
"It seems that Miss Madame is going to profit again, and I am afraid that this half of everything will fall into the hands of Miss Madame."
"It's good to have an eldest princess as a daughter-in-law!"
"Don't you think the eldest princess is stupid? If I had so many good things, I wouldn't have brought them to the Gu Mansion, how good would it be to keep them for my own children, and I would have cheapened my mother-in-law and sister-in-law for nothing. ”
"Shut up, be careful of being heard by Madame's people and sell you!"
……
Xuan Cang's five senses were sensitive, and the whispered discussions of the people around him were all heard in his ears.
He coldly glanced at the Gu family's subordinates behind him, and the Gu family's subordinates were frightened and immediately scattered away.
After entering Qin Shuhuang's courtyard in the Gu family, the originally empty courtyard was now full, and the carriages and horses brought back by Qin Shuhuang couldn't enter, so they could only temporarily stop outside the courtyard and be watched by the guards.
Qin Shuhuang looked at these piles of cages as high as a small mountain, turned his head and asked Mrs. Gu next to him, "Madam, are all the dowries in this palace here?" ”
Mrs. Gu glanced at Qin Shuhuang with a little weakness, and at this time she could only tell the truth, "Of course it's not only, there are also some of them in the treasury, rest assured, Your Highness, everything is ready, the stealing Diao slave has been caught by me, and it will be sent to His Highness for disposal in a while." ”
Mrs. Gu originally wanted to make a show, first pay back part of Qin Shuhuang's dowry, and the remaining part was still in the warehouse, if Qin Shuhuang didn't check, then the things in the warehouse would still be hers, if Qin Shuhuang really checked, then tell her in the warehouse, just go to the warehouse to see, anyway, she has countermeasures before and after.
It's just that she didn't expect Qin Shuhuang to really ask, and she asked as soon as she returned to the courtyard, so she could only endure the pain and confess everything first.
When Qin Shuhuang heard Mrs. Gu say this, he turned his head and instructed Ruihe beside him, "Ruihe, take the dowry list of the palace and check it one by one, if there is a mistake in the check, you are the only one in the palace!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Ruihe immediately took the dowry list from the little maid's hand, and walked to the pile of cages with two maids and two eunuchs, opening them one by one to check and check, with a meticulous attitude.
Mrs. Gu wiped the sweat on her forehead, where did she think that Qin Shuhuang not only had to look at the dowry, but also check the dowry list!
Fortunately, she made up a lot of patches, and there shouldn't be much difference, otherwise her old face would really fall to the ground today.
She glanced at Qin Shuhuang's pile of dowry boxes, her heart was dripping blood, and many of them were bought and filled with the silver she had saved over the years.
Qin Shuhuang was led by Ruihe to count the dowry, and he went to the flower hall to sit down and rest.
Mrs. Gu followed into the flower hall.
Qin Shuhuang's gaze swept over, "Madame, but you want to taste the tea here in the palace?" ”
Mrs. Gu understood that Qin Shuhuang was carrying tea to send off guests, and she didn't want her to stay here any longer.
Now she is begging Qin Shuhuang to stay, so she doesn't go against Qin Shuhuang's intentions, anyway, the future is long, what she made up for today, as long as Qin Shuhuang is still the daughter-in-law of their Gu family, one day it will fall back into her hands, and it will be doubled back!
"No need, His Highness is tired all the way, so I won't bother." After speaking, she turned around and left, but saw that Gu Yufei was still standing in place in a daze, staring at the cage in the courtyard and the carriage outside the courtyard.
Out of the flower hall, Gu Yufei shook off her mother's hand and complained: "Mother, what are you doing!" I still want to stay here and see what good things Qin Shuhuang has brought back! I have to pick it first, otherwise what if you give it to the eldest sister in the future! ”
