Chapter 11: Tricking
When Gu Ruan Ruan crossed into this world, this body was just twelve years old.
At that time, she was also Top Gun, wanting to use her modern skills and knowledge to break out of the world in ancient times, or fight a bloody way in the inner house.
She was ambitious to be equal to the ancients, but she soon discovered that her luck was too good.
The original mother came from a humble background and was nowhere to be found, so she was willing to send her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu raised her as a young lady, and many times, as long as she was coquettish, she even lived better than Gu Baiyu.
And Gu Baiyu, in her eyes, is a typical ancient lady, and her mind is also very kind, she has never felt sorry for her, and even protected her when she was in trouble.
So in the past few years, Gu Ruan Ruan thinks that she has nowhere to display her talent, and only her sister's marriage can make her give advice and help this poor woman in ancient times get rid of the shackles of the world.
But the result?
Sister Yan's brain couldn't turn around, thinking that she was hurting her!
In this case, she doesn't have to be polite to her!
Gu Ruan Ruan made a decision in her heart, and went to Mrs. Gu under a false appearance, and Ai Ai said that she knew her mistake.
In the end, looking at the child who grew up, Mrs. Gu relented, poked her forehead, and scolded a few words, but she couldn't be ruthless and really didn't ask from now on.
Gu Ruan Ruan rubbed her forehead that was poked, she didn't mention the dowry, but chatted with Mrs. Gu about family life.
After a while, I learned from Mrs. Gu that there would be a family banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, and the banquet was for the little fat dun family who were guests in the mansion on the day she was mistakenly broken into the boudoir by the little tailor.
This little fat dun is not small, but it is the only son of Zhou Mingyue, the secretary of the ministry, and the big name Zhou Moxin.
Zhou Mingyue, the secretary of the ministry, has a good relationship with Gu Cheng, and he is also a backhouse rule, and there is only one lady in the main house.
It took more than half a hundred years to get a son called Little Fat Dun, and he was spoiled to the tip of his heart.
Gu Ruan Ruan lowered his eyes, and he already had a plan in his heart.
Mrs. Zhou has the best relationship with her mother, and her little chubby dun is also very valued, if she can be loved by those two people, and say a few kind words in front of her mother and father, her image in the eyes of her parents will definitely be improved.
Thinking like this, Gu Ruan Ruan hurried up and went to the kitchen.
Gu Ruan Ruan said that the news of Mrs. Gu's betrayal did not escape Gu Baiyu's eyes.
When Lingyu reported the report, she was carefully showing off a red handkerchief.
"Miss, after the second lady left from Madame, she went to the kitchen, and asked for lard from the kitchen, and she was boiling lard at this time, and she didn't know what she was going to do."
Gu Baiyu listened to Lingyu's words, and only said lightly: "Let her go." ”
Lingyu looked at the handkerchief in her hand, and couldn't help but say: "Miss, you have already shown off your wedding dress, why do you have to do it yourself, just let the embroidery lady in the house do it." ”
Gu Baiyu held the needle for a moment, and then showed the mandarin duck on his head: "What he gave him, naturally I want to come in person." ”
Lingyu smiled, and no longer persuaded her: "It's better to be an uncle, the slave and maid can see it these days, my uncle is full of eyes and only Miss, and he is responsible, so good to Miss!" ”
Gu Baiyu was so embarrassed by the "uncle" on the left and right in Lingyu's mouth that her face turned red: "You haven't married yet, you are not allowed to call this name." ”
Lingyu grinned: "Got it! The slave was taught by the young lady, but she was not as unruly as the second young lady. ”
"Alright, don't say it. By the way, my mother's vegetarian food hasn't changed for a few days, you quickly order the chef in the house to think about some fresh tricks, my mother has been vegetarian for my father for six years, don't let my mother eat too monotonous. ”
Lingyu took the order and left.
Gu Baiyu lowered his eyes and continued to concentrate on embroidery with stitches and threads, but in his mind, Xiao Yanlin's resolute and handsome face still came to mind, and he couldn't help but smile on his lips.
If Xiao Yanlin enters the palace today, she should go out to suppress the bandits tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, she has to show off quickly, go to the ancestral hall tomorrow to wait for the end of the family banquet, go to the ancestral hall to pray for him, and the bandits will be smooth and smooth.
Early the next morning, Gu Baiyu got up and went to Mrs. Gu.
Today's banquet for the family of the Ministry of Shangshu is to inform the relatives of the two daughters, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials and Mrs. Gu are friendly, today is regarded as making amends for the events of that day, and it is also so that Mrs. can save some reputation for the Gu family sisters among the ladies in Kyoto after she goes out.
So we can't be sloppy.
When Gu Baiyu went, Gu Ruan Ruan was already waiting for Mrs. Gu left and right, and when she saw her coming, she saluted her in a proper manner and called her sister.
Gu Baiyu nodded, Gu Ruan Ruan is not stupid, now that he has learned a lesson, he has become more disciplined.
After a few people summed it up, they instructed the people in the house, and the family of the official department was late.
"Wanqing, you're here! It was a mess that day, but you have to talk to me today. ”
Wanqing is the maiden name of Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, which shows that the relationship between the two is indeed very good.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Mrs. Zhou turned her attention to the two sisters.
She didn't look at Gu Ruan Ruan, took Gu Baiyu's hand and said with a smile: "I heard about your happy event, the Marquis of Zhenbei is the great material of the country, and he is worthy of our Yu'er!" Marriage has to be done well! I'll also add some dowry to you, so that you can marry in a beautiful way, so that those broken mouths in Kyoto can take a good look! ”
Mrs. Zhou has a pungent temperament, but she is first-class good to Gu Baiyu, and Gu Baiyu responds with a smile.
As if she couldn't see Gu Ruanruan, she kept pulling Gu Baiyu to speak, and Gu Baiyu glanced at Gu Ruan Ruan with her spare eyes.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ruan Ruan was very calm today, and he didn't even have any expression.
When Mrs. Zhou said it badly, and the next person came up to add tea, Gu Ruan Ruan said: "Mother, I was naughty a few days ago, which made you unhappy, I made a gadget yesterday and wanted to give it to my mother and Mrs. Zhou, you must like it." ”
Mrs. Gu gave her a strange look.
There is a lot of attention to giving gifts between these ladies, and Mrs. Zhou's identity is light, it is not a gift, it is a feud.
Mrs. Gu subconsciously said: "You are still in the boudoir, what good things can you have, don't call Mrs. Zhou a joke......"
At this moment, Gu Baiyu said lightly, "Mother, since my sister has a heart, let her take it out and take a look." ”
Mrs. Zhou has a cool temperament, she doesn't like Gu Ruanruan's outstanding temperament, and she also wants to see if this jumping little woman has improved, so she also said: "It's okay, let me see what kind of novelty it is." ”
Gu Ruan Ruan was overjoyed when she heard this, and she couldn't help but be excited: "Mrs. Zhou, wait a minute, I'll go get it." ”
A moment later, Gu Ruan Ruan cautiously came up with a brocade box.
Gu Baiyu glanced at it and nodded secretly, in this life, Gu Ruanruan finally learned to take a box on the table, but no matter how valuable the box is, it can't hide that the things inside are too ordinary to be on the table.
With Gu Ruanruan's movements, the box was opened, and a small square like white jade appeared in front of everyone.
Gu Ruan Ruan's tone was a little proud: "Mother, Mrs. Zhou, this thing is called soap, it can clean hands and face, it is much cleaner than ordinary soap, and it is easy to use!" ”
Mrs. Zhou saw the novelty, and Mrs. Gu also got closer.
Gu Ruan Ruan asked his subordinates to bring a basin of water with a very good eye and asked them to try it.
Gu Baiyu looked at it so lightly, seeing that the two ladies showed joy, before asking, "Sister, this thing is indeed novel, what is it made of?" ”
Speaking of these strange things, Gu Ruan Ruan talked eloquently
It's made of lard and plant ash, and it's a ubiquitous ingredient, but I'm going to keep the recipe a secret, so I can give it to my father.
The smugness in her tone couldn't be concealed, so she didn't see that the faces of Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Gu on the side had completely changed.
Gu Baiyu hooked her lips and smiled, but didn't say anything.
Gu Ruan Ruan thought that his masterpiece had shocked this group of ancient people, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhou, you can take some ...... later"
"Shut up! Come! Take this thing down! ”
Just when Gu Ruanruan was proud, Mrs. Zhou suddenly scolded: "Hurry up and take it down!" ”
Gu Ruan Ruan's smile froze on her face: "Mother, what did you say?" ”
Mrs. Gu's face was extremely ugly, the white foam was still sticking to her hands, and she ordered someone to quickly fetch water to clean her with disgust.
"Mother! Why? Such a useful thing! How don't you like it? ”
Mrs. Gu, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help but glance at her fiercely in front of Mrs. Zhou: "I have been like a vegetarian for your father for six years, you are good, force me to break the vow!" ”
Gu Ruan Ruan's face turned pale, how could she forget this!
"Mother..... It didn't get into your mouth, so you don't have to take it so seriously, right? ”
It's okay if she doesn't say it, but as soon as she said this, Mrs. Gu became even more angry.
The most important thing for a person who believes in Buddhism is sincerity, what is the difference between her saying this and letting herself deceive the Buddha!
"Take this thing with you and hurry away!"
Gu Ruan Ruan was still unconvinced: "Mother, you don't like it yourself, how do you know that Mrs. Zhou doesn't like it either?" ”
Mrs. Gu was simply laughed at by her: "Wanqing is the most noble and exquisite in her life, the things she washes and bathes are all given by the palace concubine Niangniang, and more than a dozen kinds of precious medicinal herbs are made, you take this lard to make something for her?!" ”
