Chapter 334: The Concubine
Wu Gui didn't know where to find a carriage, and the driver who drove it was still respectful to him, and even called him his master, respectfully invited the four of them into the carriage, and drove all the way to the city lord's mansion.
There was nothing to say all the way, until he arrived at the city lord's mansion, Hong Tuo, who jumped out of the carriage, subconsciously reached out to help Ah Lu, and Wu Gui beside him had already reached out to help Ah Lu one step ahead of him, Ah Sheng lowered his hand in order not to embarrass Hong Tuo, and jumped out of the carriage with a smile, and then immediately snatched Ah Lu's hand back from Wu Gui's hand, and said with a smile that as a maid, this is what she should do.
Then they entered the city lord's mansion together, there were still a lot of visitors, some businessmen who knew Wu Gui saw two more women around him, and they all stepped forward to test in the name of greeting, when Wu Gui said that Ah Lu was his fiancée, many people showed a little loss in their eyes, and turned to communicate with Hong Gui, Hong Tu only answered some questions he could answer at will, and if he couldn't answer, Wu Gui would naturally open his mouth to block it for him.
From these exchanges, Hong Tuo slowly summed up Wu Gui's current personality, is the son of a large family in Licheng, his parents went early, and he took on the responsibility of supporting the whole family and his younger brother at a young age.
Who knew that Wu Gui only chuckled lightly after hearing this, and said a little arrogantly: "Who said that I deceived them? There is indeed a Wu family in Licheng, and it is indeed run by me, so I did not deceive them." ”
"What do you do in the mortal world?"
Wu Gui smiled quite confidently: "Because I guess that the girl I like in the future will be lively in the mortal world, and the money circulating from all walks of life is different, just in case in addition to the human world, other worlds also operate some industries in Xia, but I just want to save some wife capital for marrying a daughter-in-law in the future." ”
Hong Tuo quietly went to see Ah Lu's reaction, she followed behind Wu Gui, lowered her head, seemed to be thinking about things, as if she didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two of them, but Ah Sheng listened, laughed as if she had taken a big advantage, and joked at Wu Gui: "The little girl is not talented, I am satisfied with what Patriarch Wu said, but unfortunately I don't like Patriarch Wu, so I have to persuade you to accept those infatuated ...... earlier."
Wu Guihun didn't care, and smiled freely: "Who can say what will happen in the future, if you don't like it now, you may not like it later, Miss Sheng would have expected that she would love the mortal world so much now?"
Ah Sheng choked, turned his head and snorted, ignoring him again.
After a while, the lord of Jiankang City led his family to appear, and standing beside the lord of Jiankang was his main wife, Mrs. Yuan, who was well maintained, not old at all, still dignified and elegant, and had a remarkable temperament. There was only one little girl standing next to Mrs. Yuan, the girl had a beautiful appearance, a slightly thin figure, and a clean charm, which made people feel good.
There are three men of the same age standing next to the city lord of Jiankang, it should be his two sisters-in-law and a concubine, the eldest son is full of young and old age, his face is serious and upright, the second son is elegant and easy-going, there is always a soft smile on the corner of his mouth, the third son is slightly pale, it seems that his health is not very good, he is full of thick bookish atmosphere, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to the little girl next to Mrs. Yuan, I think it should be a brother and sister in the same group.
In addition to his wife, the city lord of Jiankang also has two aunts, one surnamed Liu, the other surnamed Yang, Aunt Liu has a son and a daughter, it should be the third young master and the fourth lady present, Aunt Yang once gave birth, but unfortunately the child died not long after birth.
Soon, Kang Nian appeared under the watchful eye, wearing a scarlet dress, wearing gold and silver, extremely rich and festive, with only a bun on her head, and no hair accessories, obviously her mother would wear it for her later.
Hong Tuo noticed that the rouge on Kang Nian's face was smeared a little too much, which should be used to hide her pale face, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
There is a bowed maid who lifts the wooden support above her head, and the tray does not contain a simple style, but the material is very exquisite and rare, agate ruby hairpin.
When Mrs. Yuan picked up the hairpin, Ah Lu seemed to see a little jealousy in the eyes of the fourth lady who had been smiling dignified beside her, but she was quickly suppressed by her.
Ah Lu couldn't help but smile a little, it seems that the relationship between the two young ladies of the City Lord's Mansion is not necessarily as good as the legend outside.
Wu Gui naturally noticed Ah Lu's expression, lowered his head slightly, and whispered in her ear, "What's the matter, did you find out the relationship here?"
Ah Lu's eyes flashed, with a bit of playfulness: "I heard that the fourth lady and the fifth lady in the city lord's mansion were born in the same year, and they have had a very good relationship since childhood, but a few months ago, the fourth lady's and the city lord seemed to have only feasted on the people with heads and faces in Jiankang City, but it is not bad for a concubine to have such a pomp......"
Wu Gui smiled with his eyebrows: "What is wrong with her brother?"
Ah Lu was stunned, turned his gaze to the pale third son, and felt it slightly, there was no problem, I don't know why: "It seems that the body is weaker than ordinary people, and there is no problem." ”
Wu Gui only smiled and said nothing, leaving Ah Lu to be puzzled for a long time, only staring at the three princes for a long time, as if he wanted to see him as a flower.
Hong Kuo, who listened to the conversation between the two of them, also turned his attention to the third prince, it is true that his body is weaker than ordinary people, and it is difficult for Wu Hui to find other problems.
After the ceremony, the city lord of Jiankang showed a little embarrassment in front of the guests, and said with a little embarrassment: "Originally, I should have done this ceremony last night, I don't want the little girl to suddenly see something unclean in the house, such a thing happens on such a day, I always have to give you an explanation, and I ask you to cooperate." ”
Naturally, someone would ask what happened, and the city lord of Jiankang told Kang Nian about the fact that Kang Nian found a corpse of a man who had been stripped of his heart in the dry well of the city lord's mansion yesterday evening, and the audience was in an uproar for a while.
Hong Tuo saw Kang Nian glance at her father quickly, her slightly tense little face gradually relaxed, she seemed to be worried about something.
And Ah Lu, who has been paying attention to the third prince, found that when the city lord of Jiankang said these words, the third prince's eyes obviously flashed a little surprise, but he quickly regained his calm, and at the same time, she also noticed that the fourth lady also showed a little surprise at first, and then showed a look of fear and worry, on the other hand, the eldest prince and the second prince were calm, as if they had long known that their father would say these words, why was it that the young master and miss of the city lord's mansion, the third young master and the fourth miss seemed to know nothing, could it be that in such a powerful family, they also despised the concubine and the concubine so much?
