Chapter 2, The Husband
Chapter 2, The Husband
When Aunt Bai returned to Biyun House, she was stunned, she couldn't believe that it was not only Gu Ziyue who survived, but also her current character, she was obviously bright when she laughed, but the words she said made people feel in the cold cellar.
In the past, Gu Ziyue had always been gentle, not fighting or grabbing, but now Gu Ziyue is too strong, which makes her feel a little pressure.
In the Red Snow Pavilion, Gu Ziyue was lying on the soft couch, her expression seemed leisurely, but her heart turned a thousand times, thinking of thousands of ways to avoid falling into the conspiracy of the Li family.
"Miss, Aunt Bai's maid Qiaolian is dead, what do you think of it?"
"Send it to Aunt Bai and let her take care of her. ”
Shijin responded, and was about to retreat, but heard Gu Ziyue say again, "When you go, remember to pass by the plum garden, and let Gu Zixuan take a look." ”
"Yes. ”
"Shiye, I'm tired today, thank you first. ”
Shiye nodded yes, Gu Ziyue lifted her skirt and went to the attic.
Pushing the door in, a smell of blood permeated. Gu Ziyue frowned, but was pulled violently, and was about to scream, but her mouth was covered again.
Gu Ziyue was very frightened and motionless, and when she noticed that this person's hand was slightly relaxed, she suddenly escaped control.
The dagger in the sleeve lit up.
"Who is Childe? It would be rude to come uninvited. ”
"I hope that the girl's subordinates will be merciful, but I have encountered a little trouble today, and it is really helpless to hide so far, and I hope that the girl Haihan. ”
Gu Ziyue's dagger was not loose, frowning and looking carefully.
"Childe, why don't you take off your mask. ”
The man was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and unwrapped his mask, there were many wounds on his body, and a large pool of blood had flowed from the place where he was squatting.
Gu Ziyue was stunned, in her past life and in this life, she had never seen such a beautiful man.
"Tut, you should thank you for having a face that makes me admire. Then he took the dagger.
"Pick up the maple and get a basin of hot water. ”
After a while, Shifeng went upstairs with hot water. Gu Ziyue waited at the door and took the hot water.
"Don't let anyone up the stairs again. Shifeng said that he stepped back.
Gu Ziyue went in with the water and was amazed at the man who was already unconscious.
"You said I saved your life, how can you repay me?"
Gu Ziyue bandaged the man's wounds, and even asked him to bathe and change clothes in her boudoir. The man's wound was inflamed in the second half of the night, and he was a little burning, and Gu Ziyue didn't sleep, so he was guarding him next to him.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the man woke up leisurely, and Gu Ziyue lay on the soft couch next to the bed and slept lightly.
The man looked at the girl quietly. Her eyebrows are so thick, the lines of her eyes are so charming, she is so beautiful, even if he has seen thousands of women with different styles, he is attracted at first sight.
Gu Ziyue woke up in his gaze, and when she saw his scrutinizing eyes, she suddenly smiled and said, "I saved your life, how are you going to repay it?"
"What does the girl command, as long as you can do it, you will do your best. ”
"Then make a promise. The sixth day of the first month of next month is my birthday party, and someone will propose to me at that time, so you must come, or I will be in trouble. ”
"Promise by example, girl, this matter is not to be taken lightly. Do you dare to do this without even knowing your identity?"
"I'm not afraid, are you afraid?"
The man was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and laughed, and said, "There is nothing to fear below." ”
"I'm Gu Ziyue. ”
"I'm Su Chenye. ”
Many years later, Gu Ziyue couldn't help but laugh when she thought of that scene back then, what kind of courage did she have to bet her whole life on that man she didn't know, whether she was like a dead heart or fearless back then, even she couldn't remember it really.
Su Chenye left in the early morning of the second day, leaving Gu Ziyue with a jade pendant symbolizing his identity, and taking away the jade bracelet on Gu Ziyue's wrist. But it was such an earth-shattering encounter that made two souls meet, one with weakness and the other with armor.
After Su Chenye left, Gu Ziyue stared at the jade pendant for a long time, there was no text on the jade pendant, only a ball of flames, lifelike. Gu Ziyue speculated about the identity of this person, and thought: Such a good jade, it seems that this person's family must be well-off, if he is born in a businessman, and he is also a good match, his father will not refuse, but if he is born in the royal court, why is he so embarrassed to be hunted down and killed, I think it is a weak concubine, and it is not a shame to marry him. Thinking of this, Gu Ziyue closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, she made such a big decision, to hand over her life to someone she didn't know, and even only knew a name, only a piece of jade pendant, she was already so isolated. Thinking that she died in the suburbs of Najing in her previous life, she didn't even know if there was a funeral, her life was so short and so desolate. Gu Ziyue lay on the soft couch and sobbed softly.
Life is so hard, but you still have to be strong.
After lunch, the Red Snow Pavilion ushered in an uninvited guest. Gu Zixuan came violently, wearing pink clothes, and she looked so beautiful.
"Miss, the second miss is here. ”
"Then he said that I was asleep, and commanded that no one should disturb me. ”
Unexpectedly, Gu Zixuan didn't give up today, and raised her hand to hit the two sweeping maids of Hongxue Pavilion. Gu Ziyue was greatly annoyed when she heard this, and without saying a word, she took the sheepskin whip and went downstairs.
"Gu Ziyue, you are a slut, can you move my mother's maid?"
Gu Ziyue squinted, her eyes were dyed with anger, and she glanced at Gu Zixuan lightly. He held a sheepskin whip in his hand and did not speak.
Seeing Gu Ziyue's appearance, Gu Zixuan became even more angry, ignoring the etiquette of the boudoir and shouting, "Gu Ziyue, you are just a wild girl without a mother, you fell into the water that day, did Daddy ask a word?"
Gu Ziyue glanced at her and said lightly, "You say it again." As he spoke, he stood up and threw a whip on the servant beside Gu Zixuan, and the servant screamed.
"You, Gu Ziyue, you are presumptuous. ”
"Presumptuous?" As she spoke, Gu Ziyue sneered, and Gu Zixuan trembled when she heard her laughter. didn't think that Gu Ziyue's whip would be thrown on him in the next second.
"Gu Zixuan, you'd better remember your identity, a concubine is a slave, don't you understand?"
Gu Zixuan never expected that Gu Ziyue, who could still survive after falling into the water, was like a different person, vicious and unrelenting. Gu Zixuan remembered what her mother sent to tell her, "Xuanxuan, don't provoke Gu Ziyue recently, she is very strange, next month is her birthday, I will find a way to deal with her." ”
Thinking of this, Gu Zixuan twisted her eyebrows, flicked her sleeves and left the Red Snow Pavilion.
"Has there been any news from the pick-up?"
"I guess it's time to arrive today, and news will come in a short time. Miss is going to look for Mrs. Yan at this time, but what are your plans?"
"I just killed Aunt Bai's personal maid a few days ago, how could Aunt Bai give up? I'm going to start preparing for my birthday banquet in the next few days, my father is going to do it this year in order to choose a husband for me, and now there is no one else in the house who is qualified to have experience in handling this matter, Aunt Bai will definitely take the opportunity to start, it is better to let my aunt come over, my aunt has a good life, naturally more qualified than Aunt Bai, and I am more at ease. In addition to this, I have some other considerations. By the way, Shijin, you go and ask Steward Chen when Mama Wen can come to the Red Snow Pavilion to wait. ”
After the order, Gu Ziyue was already a little tired, and she was about to get up and go upstairs, when she suddenly remembered something and called Shiye over.
"Shifeng, you go to the Agarwood Pavilion, find the shopkeeper there, and ask him to help me find out the identity of the owner behind this jade pendant. The price is easy to say, as long as he is willing to contribute to me, it will naturally have his benefits. “
Soon after Shifeng left, Shijin came back with Mama Wen. When Gu Ziyue saw Mama Wen, tears almost flowed down, but she quickly turned around, turned her back to Shijin and Mama Wen, and said, "Shijin, take Mama Wen upstairs, I have something to tell her." "Then he went upstairs first.
After Mama Wen went upstairs, Gu Ziyue stood upright in front of the window and said softly: " Mama, I invite you to Hongxue Pavilion, not to let you wait here, but to help me manage the dowry brought by my mother, those properties are now in the hands of Aunt Bai, these years I have lived in poverty, subject to others, you are all in the eyes, my mother married back then, brought a lot of good things, but I was forbearant and cowardly in the past few years, and tolerated everywhere, so that those sluts were targeted everywhere and bullied everywhere, and now, I fell into the water and did not die, God took pity on me, then I naturally have to cherish my own life. I'm seventeen years old, it's the age of marriage," After a pause, Gu Ziyue turned her head to look at Mama Wen, choked up and said, "My mother has a spirit in the sky, and she definitely hopes that I will marry a good man, love and harmony, and the years will be quiet." What do you say, Mama Wen?"
Mama Wen heard the old tears, "That's natural, eldest lady, Mrs. was born in the Yan Mansion, the well-known bell ringing Ding Shi family, the hairpin family, you naturally have to choose a good husband." “
"In this case, Mama Wen, I really don't hide it, at my birthday banquet in January, my father will definitely take the opportunity to choose a son-in-law for me, but I already have a sweetheart, so I naturally don't want to marry someone else, and I hope Mama Wen will help me. “
Mama Wen was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked who the other party was, Mama Wen asked, but the other party's family background, appearance and character, although Gu Ziyue didn't know anything, she lied but her face didn't change.
"Why do you need to ask, next month, on my birthday, he will come to propose. “
"But, sir, will he agree? I heard that he intends to choose the eldest son of the Li family for you. “
"Yes, since that man promised me, he naturally has the confidence to take my father. “
Mama Wen stopped talking.
"Mama Wen, my eldest aunt will come over in a few days, and she will personally take care of my birthday, so as to prevent Aunt Bai from embarrassing me, and save those who propose relatives, what do you think. In addition, I also want my aunt to come forward and take back the property from Aunt Bai as my dowry. Save them cheaply. ”
"Miss is thoughtful, and Mrs. Yan comes forward, naturally it is better, she has a high status, and she is not afraid of Aunt Bai's resistance. Nature is the best choice. ”
Gu Ziyue nodded when she heard this, and asked Mama Wen to step down. At this time, it happened that Shifeng came back, and he was in a hurry. "Miss, the shopkeeper of the Agarwood Pavilion invites you to come over and say that there is something important, but it is not very convenient in the Gu Mansion. ”
"But what's wrong with the jade pendant?"
"This slave and maid don't know, the shopkeeper of the Agarwood Pavilion saw the jade pendant, and was very polite to the slave and maid, so he asked me which family I belonged to, and the slave and maid said, and he asked the slave and maid to come back and invite you over. “
About two pillars of incense, Gu Ziyue came to the Agarwood Pavilion, as soon as she entered the door, a well-dressed middle-aged man greeted her, with a respectful but not flattering attitude, and said to Gu Ziyue with a smile: "Miss Gu, right? Gu Ziyue quietly looked at the furnishings in the Agarwood Pavilion, her eyes were cold and bottomless.
Entering the private room, the decoration is very elegant, and there is a soft couch by the window, and you can see the most prosperous street outside the window. The middle-aged man greeted Gu Ziyue and sat down, and ordered someone to go up to this year's new Xinyang hair tip.
"Sir, it's better to get straight to the point. ”
"The girl is a cheerful person, this jade pendant, I don't know where the girl came from?"
"Someone else sent it, I don't know what the gentleman asked about it?"
"In this case, you might as well say bluntly that this jade pendant, also known as the flame pendant, is made of the best Lantian warm jade, the only one in the world, is matched by the prince Su Chenye of the Western Han Dynasty, as we all know, the mother of the prince of the Western Han Dynasty Su Chenye, the concubine Yu Guifei is the only daughter of the king of Southern Liang, since she was a child, she was favored by a thousand pets, and then became attached to the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, married into the Western Han Dynasty and sealed the jade concubine, and was favored all year round. Empress Pei of the Western Han Dynasty has always been weak, and there is only one Princess Jingyue under her knees, and Concubine Yu is in charge of the harem all the year round, which can be described as a flourishing moment.
And we, the Agarwood Pavilion, do not hide from the girl, but belong to His Royal Highness the Prince, and only listen to the dispatch of Flame Pei. Therefore, the girl should understand what is at stake. “
Gu Ziyue frowned, was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Your prince, do you have a wife?"
"I have never married. ”
"No, that's coming. After a pause, Gu Ziyue asked, "Your prince, when will you come to Pingzhou again?"
"When Gongzi left last time, he said that a month later, it would be about the sixth day of the first lunar month, and he instructed us to secretly protect Miss Gu. ”
Gu Ziyue was stunned when she heard this, closed her eyes, and said, "I know, I will keep this jade pendant for your prince first, and let him come and get it on the sixth day of the next month." ”
When Gu Ziyue returned to the Red Snow Pavilion, the whole person was stunned, how did she know that Su Chenye was so big, the prince of the Western Han Dynasty, the crown prince of the Western Han Dynasty, and the person who would inherit the unification in the future. And she is just an ordinary woman, her family has been a businessman for generations, and her status is low, where can she compare to those royal nobles. Thinking of this, Gu Ziyue's head is big.
If she really enters the palace in the future, how should she get to know her? and she has to share the favor with so many women, which makes her unbearable. Gu Ziyue frowned, lay on the bed alone, and fell asleep grogily.
