Chapter 21: Expressing gratitude
Even if Gu Manxi is a special woman, it is impossible to know everything about his army.
There must be someone else behind this.
Gu Manxi's breathing was a little uncomfortable, but she never fought back.
She knew very well that for now, if she fought back, it would backfire on her plans.
"Lord Wang, although the Gu family is in decline, if you use money to buy some news, you can still do it."
Listen to this.
Li Chenlan let go of Gu Manxi, and his cold eyes narrowed: "Gu Manxi, your Gu family is not small, you dare to inquire about the affairs of this king, are you not afraid that this king will kill people and destroy your mouth?" ”
Li Chenlan sat down with his sleeves brushed up and made no further movements.
Looking at this, the corners of Gu Manxi's mouth hooked.
It seems that Li Chenlan has believed her words, which is very good.
In fact, she lied, and what she said was told to her by her grandfather.
"The prince is benevolent, and he will not kill those who are beneficial to the prince."
Gu Manxi served a cup of hot tea.
Just now, Li Chenlan's hand strength is very strong, resulting in Gu Manxi, on the tender white neck, there is an obvious finger pinching mark.
It's a little red.
Gu Manxi didn't care.
Li Chenlan, who could take the tea cup from her hand, his cold eyes fell on the pinch mark, and he didn't know what he suddenly remembered, his cheeks were slightly red, and in an instant, he turned his face away.
At this moment, Gu Manxi didn't notice Li Chenlan's expression at this time.
The tea was a little hot, Li Chenlan took a small sip, and his hot tongue was numb, but he was as steady as loose, and he didn't see it on his face at all.
"Man, this king can give you, the three hard-to-find herbs you mentioned, this king can also send someone to inquire...... However, this herb will not be found for you, whether you can get it depends on your own ability. ”
"This is natural, in cooperation with the prince, Manxi has to let the prince see that our Gu family is by no means a person who drags his feet."
Got promised.
Gu Manxi put his mind at ease.
Li Chenlan is famous, and he will not regret his words.
"This is the list of people sent tomorrow, you can assign these people at will, they are only at your disposal."
Li Chenlan wrote a few names on rice paper with a brush and handed them to Gu Manxi.
Looking at the list in his hand, Gu Manxi was in a good mood.
"Lord Wang, it's not too early, it's better to ......"
Once the purpose has been achieved, there is no need for one to linger.
Looking at Gu Manxi's "dog appearance" that was kicked away after taking advantage of it, Li Chenlan's face darkened: "Gu Manxi, you woman is really ...... "dog!"
Gu Manxi didn't raise her head, she was remembering the name on the list.
"Could it be that the prince still wants to stay for dinner?"
Destroying the list, Gu Manxi raised his head.
"It's not impossible, this king happens to be hungry."
Gu Manxi: "......"
Is the dog man really going to stay?
That's fine.
"What? Don't want the prince to stay? Your Gu family can't afford to invite this king to dinner? ”
Li Chenlan looked at Gu Manxi, and the corners of his mouth lifted a touch of mockery.
"The prince laughed, food, our Gu family can still afford it."
Gu Manxi looked back and smiled lightly: "The prince will wait a while, and I will let the housekeeper prepare dinner." ”
is also said, isn't it just to have dinner, she can naturally afford it.
Before eating, Gu Manxi went to look at Old Lady Gu again, closed the door, and talked to Old Lady Gu for a while.
No one knew what the two said in the room.
After a while, Gu Manxi came out of the room, handed over some land deeds to the housekeeper, and asked the housekeeper to go to the street to resell the shops with land deeds, and exchange them all for silver tickets.
When the housekeeper took the title deed from Gu Manxi's hand, his eyes flashed.
"Miss, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly."
The butler's expression was a little excited.
Gu Manxi glanced at him, and didn't break it: "Well, I'll go later, now I'll go and prepare dinner for King Li first, you go and keep an eye on the kitchen in person, you remember, if something happens to King Li in our Gu Mansion, everyone in our whole mansion will have to be buried together!" ”
Gu Manxi had something to say.
Steward Wu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, eldest miss." ”
The meals were set up in the main courtyard.
Gu Manxi also sent someone to inform Xiao Qingluo and Murong Wanting.
As soon as I heard that, Li Chenlan was also there.
Murong Wanting excitedly dragged Xiao Qingluo and ran to the front yard.
On the way, Xiao Qingluo couldn't look at Murong Wanting's crazy appearance, and she stretched out her feet.
Murong Wanting didn't notice that she tripped over Xiao Qingluo for a while, her nose was blue and her eyes were swollen, and her dress was dirty.
"You stinky girl, you must have done it on purpose."
Murong Wanting was angry, and she couldn't get up from sitting on the ground.
Xiao Qingluo stuck out his tongue at her: "So what? You hit me! ”
How could she let Murong Wanting, the "light bulb", go to the front and disturb her mother and King Li to be alone.
"You...... You ......"
Murong Wanting pointed at Xiao Qingluo, so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.
When she thought of what had happened to her in the past two days, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she cried angrily: "The county lord is gone!" ”
Murong Wanting sat on the ground, howling and crying.
This made the servant girl who came to invite them stunned.
I tried to get up from the ground and hold on to the ground, but I tried several times without success.
Simply, Murong Wanting didn't get up, just sat on the ground, crying and sobbing.
At this time, her feet and neck were a little red and swollen, and the pain was unbearable.
I don't know how long she cried, but she suddenly felt a little cold in her feet and neck, red and swollen.
Murong Wanting lowered her eyes, and saw that Xiao Qingluo was squatting in front of her, stretching out her little hand and applying ointment to her bruises.
looked at Xiao Qingluo with his little head down, and he was very serious.
is also afraid of hurting Murong Wanting, when she smeared it, she stretched out her small mouth and blew from time to time.
Murong Wanting was stunned, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and there was a cry in her voice: "Don't you hate this county lord very much?" Why should you be so good to the lord of this county? ”
Although she is the lord of the county, she is surrounded by some people who are courteous and pretend to be kind to her.
No one had ever been so attentive to her.
Her mother died when she was eight years old, and her father, who was very kind to her, was ...... I never knew she was afraid of pain.
The concubines in the house are all in front of her and behind her back.
The redness and swelling of the area subsided after applying the ointment.
Xiao Qingluo raised his eyes and looked at Murong Wanting: "The county lord likes King Li, my mother also likes King Li, the county lord will rob King Li with his mother, Xiao Qingluo doesn't want his mother to be unhappy, so he hates the county lord." ”
"However, putting these aside, as far as you are concerned, Lord Shan, Qingluo does not hate you, as long as you don't rob the king with your mother, Qingluo will not hate you."
When she fell, Murong Wanting's hair was also messy, and her hairpin fell to the ground.
Xiao Qingluo picked up the hairpins that fell to the ground one by one, and helped Murong Wanting rearrange her messy hair.
Her little hands are very flexible and gentle: "Sister County Lord, you are really beautiful, you are so beautiful, you should marry a good and good-looking Lang Jun, King Li is so fierce, and he often yells at you, you marry him, do you want him to lose his temper with you every day?" ”
After tidying up Murong Wanting's makeup, Xiao Qingluo stood in front of Murong Wanting and asked her very seriously: "Sister County Lord, do you dare to lose your temper with King Li?" ”
Thinking of King Li's cold face.
Murong Wanting's shoulders trembled, and she immediately shook her head: "I don't dare." ”
"Since you don't dare, and you have to endure him losing his temper with you every day, will you be happy with such a day?"
Murong Wanting shook her head.
"It is better to be licked than to be licked by others."
Xiao Qingluo said that the head is the Tao.
Murong Wanting looked at her and fell into confusion.
It took a long time to react: "Then don't your mothers want to marry into the Li Wangfu like the county lord?" How is she different from the king of the county? ”
Xiao Qingluo helped Murong Wanting to get up, and patted her with dust very intimately.
"My mother is bolder than the county lord, my mother dares to scold King Li, my mother is the most powerful mother in the world, she is naturally different from the county lord."
When talking about his mother, Xiao Qingluo's eyes lit up.
Mother is her pride.
Murong Wanting pursed her lips, but she felt that what Xiao Qingluo said made sense.
She could see that Gu Manxi, a woman, was rude and bold when she scolded the Queen Mother on the spot.
On the side, the stunned maidservant was bold and asked cautiously: "County Lord, little miss, do you still go over to eat?" ”
Xiao Qingluo waved his hand: "Don't go, go tell my mother, I still have something to do with the county lord's sister, so she doesn't have to wait for us." ”
Xiao Qingluo dragged Murong Wanting back.
Murong Wanting did not object: "Yes! The county lord is not going to see King Li, and the county lord should not be a licking dog! ”
"Yes." The handmaid ran away.
On the way back.
Xiao Qingluo looked back at the front yard.
Mother, one of your rivals in love, your daughter has turned you against you, you have to come on!
On the way back, Murong Wanting still had some doubts.
"How old are you, why do you know so much?"
"Because Xiao Qingluo has a very powerful master."
"Master? Who? The lord of this county also wants to meet him. "
"If you see it, you want to apprentice, do you want to apprentice to the county lord's sister?"
"Well, if it's really powerful, it's not impossible for this county lord to apprentice."
"Oh, it's so good, the county lord's sister has become my senior sister, the county lord's sister, I'll tell you secretly, my master is my mother."
"In the future, my mother will also be the master of the county lord's senior sister, and the county lord's senior sister is not allowed to cheat."
"……"
Gu Manxi, who was eating in the front yard, didn't know that she had more stupid apprentices who were fooled by her daughter.
"Gu Manxi, will you invite this king to eat these?"
Li Chenlan had a cold face, sat at the table, and looked at the only pickles, white porridge, nests, and poor and miserable meals on the table.
He was slightly angry.
