Chapter Twenty-Four: Someone from the Capital?
The summer in Jiangnan continues to walk in the sound of cicadas, the shade of the trees is thick and green, the river is clear, and the story of the infinite goodness of Jiangnan continues.
The continuous flow of time also means that the day when the Gu Mansion Changfang returns to Beijing is getting closer and closer, and the eldest lady Ning and Gu Nianxun are also constantly thinking about the property, and they are also busy all day long, and they are happy in the fun.
However, there are always people who want to break the hard-won calm years for this side of the long house. In the early morning of this day, a carriage with a cyan vib stopped at the gate of the main courtyard of the Gu Mansion, followed by some small servants.
The concierge of the Gu Mansion couldn't help frowning when he saw it, who didn't understand the rules so much, he didn't post to the Gu Mansion in advance, so he drove straight to the mansion, and he didn't know where it was a small household, he was not afraid of offending this big official's house from the second grade, or wait and see, which side of the "high-ranking officials" it is.
Seeing that no one stepped forward to greet for a while, and there were more and more people coming and going, such a strange scene also attracted many people to speak. At this time, the people in the carriage were also a little unable to sit still.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and an elderly grandmother looked around with a large number of people, her expression was very disdainful, and her twisted posture seemed to deliberately create a feeling of superiority.
The grandmother twisted left and right, the lotus-colored embroidered handkerchief was also fiddling together, and the porter of the Gu Mansion was also very elf, calm and still, and the afterglow of her eyes was also secretly looking at the grandmother, and she spent a lot of effort trying not to let herself laugh out loud.
They are all seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister, although Gu Zheng is not as good as the prime minister's official ranks, but he is also a big official and an important minister of the court. The concierge of the Gu Mansion of Huizhou Mansion has also seen some big people, and the concierge of the Gu Mansion said that it was also a big girl who got on the sedan chair - the first time.
The grandmother finally twisted in front of the porter, but she couldn't pretend to be invisible anymore, and the porter asked without humility or arrogance: "Who is in the house, has you ever made a post in advance when you come to the Gu Mansion?"
The question was out of the most basic courtesy and duty as a porter, and he knew that this person had no post. Who knows, this grandmother's next words shocked the porters for eight hundred years, maybe more.
"I think you guys who don't know the height of the sky are blind! Keep your eyes open for me to take a good look, this is the carriage of the Gu Mansion in the capital!" Mama's voice is estimated to be "talented" and "tempered the day after tomorrow", and the people present who roared felt that the sky was thundering and ringing in their ears.
When everyone present heard this, they all thought to themselves: Gufu in the capital? Isn't that Lord Gu's own family, I heard that Lord Gu will be transferred back to Beijing in the spring of next year, at this time, the Gu Mansion is coming, is it preparing for returning to Beijing in advance?
The porter was also stunned for a moment, and didn't receive a report from the mansion, saying that there was someone from his family today? I don't know if the news is true or not, and I don't know who is coming, and what kind of specifications should be used to greet it.
A well-trained porter will not make his own decisions, mess up, and lose the manners of the house.
The clever porter was already windy and went straight to the backyard, and such a major event naturally had to listen to how the master ordered. The direction of the gatehouse is the backyard of Tingyuxuan, the residence of the eldest lady Gu Nianxun.
Nowadays, no one in the house knows, the most important thing to speak is the eldest lady, since the eldest lady manages the affairs of the government and assists the eldest lady in charge of the feed, the status and prestige in the house have greatly improved compared with before.
The backyard of the Gu Mansion, listening to Yuxuan.
Mama An reported the incident to Gu Nianxun, who was reading a book in the study, and what Mama An saw was that Gu Nianxun, who was blocked by the book, instantly changed her eyes, and the ladies who were still gentle and lovely just now instantly became like a cold and arrogant killer.
If the eyes could kill, then today this pedestrian has disappeared from the door of the Gu Mansion without a trace.
"Oh? Someone is coming to the capital, this is a big deal, Mama will go with me to take a look, and see which Buddha has come thousands of miles away?" There was a piercing coldness between Gu Nianxun's words, and Mama An knew that this was a precursor to someone who was going to be unlucky.
"Yes. Mama, I haven't seen anyone in the capital for a long time, I wonder if it's some old faces?" Mama An is self-sufficient, if Gu Nianxun wants to kill someone, Mama An is undoubtedly the fastest one among all the people who handed the knife.
Gu Nianxun took Mama An and a few low-level maidservants and walked to the main gate together. Before we reached the main entrance, there was already a noise.
If you listen carefully, it is an elderly female voice that acts as the main force.
Gu Nianxun listened to it, but it was very familiar, and he thought that he was an old acquaintance he had seen in his previous life. In front of the Gu Mansion, he also dared to be presumptuous.
The gatekeeper follows the principle that the enemy does not move, I do not move, no matter how the grandmother shouts and abuses, the main gate of the Gu Mansion is not moving, if this pedestrian is allowed to enter directly from the gate, will the majesty of the Gu Mansion be trampled on the soles of the feet?
Suddenly, the main door opened from the inside out, and the grandmother was overjoyed, so unhappy, as if saying that this door still had to be opened for her?
It's just that the group of people who walked out of it showed that she was destined to think too much.
It was Gu Nianxun, Mama An and others who came out of the main gate, looking condescendingly at the grandstanding grandma and the carriage waiting beside them.
"In front of the Gu Mansion, is it a place for you to be presumptuous?" Gu Nianxun looked at this old acquaintance from his previous life and said coldly.
"I've seen the eldest lady." The porters on both sides saluted in unison.
The surrounding people also instantly understood the identity of the woman in front of them.
"This is Lord Gu's eldest daughter, tsk, her temperament is far better than that of Miss Lin Fu!"
"Isn't that nonsense, you old man! The Lin family is just a prefect, how can they compete with Master Gu, the history of Jiangnan politics?"
"I have seen the fabric on Miss Gufu from afar in Hongrui Cloth Village, and one horse costs fifty taels of silver!"
"I don't know which son-in-law has this blessing and can marry the eldest daughter of Gu Mansion back home? With the favor of Lord Gu, won't you be able to rise to the top? At least 20 years less struggle. “
……
……
The surrounding discussions gradually deviated from the original direction of this matter, and Gu Nianxun was also surprised that the people in Huizhou Mansion were so curious about themselves?
"This is the eldest lady, don't greet the elders when she sees them, is this how the eldest lady usually raises her sister?" This grandmother did not learn to shut up because of the change in the identity of the person who came, but was even better.
The porter couldn't help but be frightened into a cold sweat by this grandmother's arrogant words, is this because he thinks he has too many lives?
Gu Nianxun turned to smile, it's been a long time since I've met such a "simple" and stupid person to the extreme, is it because I saw that my life has been monotonous recently, so I came to add color? It's very intimate.
"Elders? Do you mean yourself, I didn't know that there were elders in the Gu Mansion who had such a heavy taste?"
"Poof, hahahaha." The laughter around him resounded in the sky, and the mother's chest also rose and fell.
"You ......" can be seen to be angry and ruthless, and he can't say a complete sentence.
When it was time to best assist Mama An to "perform", I saw Mama An pointing to the lady's nose and said unceremoniously: "As a servant woman, what should I be guilty of seeing that the young lady of the main family does not greet her, despises her master, and speaks wildly!"
The people around who watched the excitement were also pointing fingers at this, and a slave and maid climbed on the master's head, but it was unheard of.
Seeing that Mama was about to be unable to resist everyone's words, the curtain of the carriage was lifted again, and it seemed that the main owner was coming.
Gu Nianxun looked in the direction of the carriage, which "elder" was so noble, and the Gu Mansion that had come from thousands of miles away was not peaceful.
