Chapter 99: Kuizhou Cold Dinner Party
"It's your son." The driver turned to one side, and then gave Gu Yuqi a fist, "This girl, just made a rude remark and offended me." Although it was an apology. But Gu Yuqi couldn't hear his sincerity.
Gu Yuqi was already upset in her heart now, she gave him a sideways glance, just snorted and walked forward.
"Young master, that girl is ignoring her! Let's go." The coachman turned back to the carriage and said, and was about to drive forward, but was stopped by the people in the carriage.
"Wait a minute."
"What else is going on, son?" the driver asked in confusion.
"It's already deep at night. She must have encountered some difficulties when she was a girl walking at night. Go ask, if we can help, we will help." The young man in the car said slowly, his voice like a clear spring flowing past , with an indescribably warm breath.
"Young Master! People go their own way at night, so let's go our own way, it's better not to ask." The driver said.
"Presumptuous." The voice of the person in the car seemed to be a little harsher, and the driver had no choice but to respond, jumped out of the carriage, and ran two steps to catch up with Gu Yuqi. "This girl, our son asks if you need help."
"No." Gu Yuqi was upset and replied angrily.
"This girl is so rude." The driver touched his nose and walked back to report to his son, "Master, they said no. Let's go."
"You are so rude, maybe you disturbed her, so let me tell you." After speaking, someone pulled the curtain of the carriage from the inside, and a handsome figure got out of the car.
"Stay here, girl." The man took a few steps, caught up with Gu Yuqi, and gave Gu Yuqi a deep bow, "The servant below was very rude just now, and I apologized to the **** his behalf."
Gu Yuqi glared at him impatiently. He lowered his head and couldn't see his appearance clearly, but his figure was good. He was wearing a moon-white robe, his wide sleeves slowly fluttered in the night wind, and his hairband of the same color also blew with the wind. Move, with a bit of clear and elegant meaning.
"Get out of the way." Gu Yuqi said coldly.
"Yes yes yes. Get out of the way right away." The man seemed to have an excellent temper, and he hurriedly flashed to the side to make way for Gu Yuqi.
Gu Yuqi bypassed him and continued to move forward. Hearing the footsteps behind him, he quickly chased after him. Gu Yuqi raised her eyebrows, "You are such a nuisance!" she said angrily. "Don't follow me anymore!" "Don't be angry, girl." The man apologized hurriedly. "I just saw the girl walking alone at night, so I got out of the car and asked, but if I need help."
"No! No! Thank you! Go slowly!" Gu Yuqi said irritably, "Don't follow me!" She glanced at the man lazily.
Why do you meet such a mother-in-law! It's really annoying.
She was in a bad mood at first, and now she was blocked by an indescribable irritability in her chest, and she had nowhere to express it. . However, she was angry with herself, so why did she want to smoke others, Gu Yuqi was so annoyed that she couldn't take it anymore, that's why she thought so.
She just wanted to rush home immediately, then put on a quilt to sleep, and forget about Du Xia.
But do you really forget it? Gu Yuqi didn't believe it herself. She has come this far, and there is nothing to look back on. Du Xia's life will be much better without her. And what her appearance brought to Du Xia was not a gospel, but a disaster. She wanted to understand all of this, and she could not tell Du Xia bitterly that she did not let him come to her for his own good, and Du Xia would not Listening to her, you will feel that she really cares about him, and stick to her even tighter.
It's good for Du Xia to break off a day earlier, before he can't extricate himself from the mud.
Letting go is the best ending for Du Xia.
But what the **** is this person who is popping up now! Why can't it go away like a dog skin plaster!
After Gu Yuqi finished speaking, she turned around and left. She pricked up her ears and listened, but the man didn't follow, and Gu Yuqi felt a little better in her heart.
Ye Feng made her thoughts go up and down, and every time she thought of Du Xia's pale face just now, she couldn't contain a burst of heartache, and it was her fault.
There was the sound of hoofs behind him, and it should be the man who got into the carriage. Gu Yuqi dodged to the side of the road, meaning to let the carriage pass quickly, but she didn't expect that the carriage to follow behind her.
If Gu Yuqi walks fast, the car will rush fast, if Gu Yuqi walks slowly, the car will rush slowly, as if she is determined to follow her.
Gu Yuqi finally couldn't bear it anymore, stopped and looked back at the driver, "What do you mean?" She said angrily. "Why are you always following me!"
"This girl speaks so domineeringly, and the road goes up to the sky on both sides, how can you say that we are following the girl!" The coachman laughed.
"Then you go first!" Gu Yuqi really felt that her patience was being challenged like never before, she simply stood aside and waited for the carriage to pass first.
"Hey, if you tell us to go, we won't go!" the driver said with a smile.
"You!" Gu Yuqi now understands that the two masters and servants are spending time with her!
"Don't be rude." The warm voice from the carriage continued. He lifted the curtain and looked out at Gu Yuqi. There was a wind lamp hanging in front of the carriage, and the light was also lit in the carriage, reflecting his appearance. .
He has a pair of gentle and bright eyes, his eyebrows slanted into his temples, a high nose bridge and moist lips. When he smiles, there are two small dimples on his cheeks, which are very provocative, and his eyes are gentle and moist. , Kankan looked at Gu Yuqi, wearing a moon-white robe that set off him with a very fresh and bookish atmosphere.
"Don't be surprised, girl, don't be afraid, I just saw the girl walking at night, so I want to give her a ride." He folded his hands towards Gu Yuqi and gave a proper salute, "Since the girl doesn't like it, then I won't force it. Be careful, girl, and take the next step."
As the saying goes, don’t reach out and don’t hit the smiling face. Seeing this person is polite, with the appearance of a modest gentleman, and with a bookish atmosphere, he should not look like a bad person. He is polite and thoughtful. reason.
"Thank you very much." Gu Yuqi also nodded at the man, "You guys should leave quickly." The most important thing is not to bother her!
"En." The man nodded, then lowered the curtain of the car, and said to the driver, "Go, continue on your way."
The coachman raised his whip and made a sound in the air. The carriage ticked forward and disappeared at the end of the road after a while.
After Gu Yuqi returned to her room, she fell down on her bed and pulled up the quilt to cover herself.
She was in a bad mood and was very tired, but she couldn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about everything about Du Xia in her previous life and wanted to find every moment when he existed by her side from her memory. Unfortunately, poor little.
She can remember that she was carried into the palace wearing a wedding dress in the last life. At that time, she was married as a concubine, and she could not even wear a red wedding dress.
The Xitang was located in the small yard where she lived later, a small room with a happy word hanging in the middle of the main hall, and a pair of red candles lit in front of it, and then there was nothing else that could indicate that this was Xitang. something.
She was helped in by Rouge, and there were no guests, so it seemed that she and Rouge were standing in such a small wedding hall.
She waited for a while before someone put a handle of red silk into her hand, she quietly looked through the gap under the hijab, she saw that she was wearing a red shirt.
At that time, she was really stupid, she thought that the person who came was Yun Ke, she worshipped him with joy, and God knew how devout she was. She never believed in ghosts and gods, but at that moment she sincerely prayed to God, hoping that Yun Ke would slowly pay attention to her and fall in love with her from that moment on. She also silently vowed that she would be good to Yun Ke for the rest of her life and for him Consider, have children for him.
But just after worshiping the heaven and earth, a gust of wind came and blew the red hipa off her head. Only then did she see clearly the appearance of the people around her.
Where is Yun Ke in red, but a handsome young man with unfamiliar eyebrows. Although he is handsome, he should not be in that position.
At that moment, a sense of humiliation of being deceived hit her heart, she raised her hand and slapped the boy's cheek fiercely. Instantly swollen.
"My subordinate Du Xia is the guard of the prince." She heard his calm voice.
"Where's Yun Ke!" she asked angrily.
"The lord is busy and is not in the palace, so Ming Xiao will marry the young lady instead of him." Du Xia continued to drop his hand.
Instead, at that moment, Gu Yuqi's heart became cold, she laughed and approached Du Xia, the boy's quiet eyes became a little flustered as she approached, he deliberately raised his face, let his own The back is very straight.
"What about the bridal chamber?" Gu Yuqi chuckled lightly, "He won't even ask you to do the bridal chamber, right?" Her eyes were full of sorrow at that time.
"My subordinates are only responsible for worshipping the heavens and the earth in place of the prince." Du Xia said calmly, "As for the rest, the subordinates don't know."
"Come to Yunke!" Gu Yuqi poured all the resentment on him and punched and kicked him, but Du Xia still stood upright like a pine and cypress, motionless, not even a brow. Move over.
It wasn't until Gu Yuqi was tired that she yelled at him, "Go away!", he said to her slowly, "The lord said, if Aunt Gu is tired, take a rest first and the subordinates retire."
Gu Yuqi let out a long sigh. This was the first time she and Du Xia met in the last life.
Unexpectedly, in the last life, she told Du Xia to get out, and in this life she shouted to him like this again.
Tears had penetrated her pillow unknowingly, and she hurriedly raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eyes.
Forget it, it's all over, it's useless to think about it.
The next day, Gu Yuqi said that she was sick and did not leave the room, which shocked Liang Huaiyu and called a doctor. The doctor took a look and found nothing wrong, but Gu Yuqi looked like she had a serious illness. Shit, the whole person has no spirit.
The doctor could only say that she was overthinking and prescribed some medicines for concentration. After Gu Yuqi took it, she fell into a deep sleep.
She slept until the next morning.
A few days later, the gate of Liang Mansion opened early. The scarlet carpet has been spread from the mansion to the road outside. There are many horses and carriages in front of the door. As long as anyone who wants to stop and take a look, they will find these carriages. They are all from Kuizhou City's rich and powerful people.
The Lotus Appreciation Conference was held as scheduled, and the Liang Mansion was full of joy inside and outside.
Since Gu Yuqi scolded Du Xia away, what has she been doing, she worked hard to keep herself busy so that she would forget that Du Xia once existed.
With Gu Yuqi's participation, the Lotus Appreciation Conference was held with great momentum. The lotus flowers were naturally gorgeous and colorful. Gu Yuqi also asked people to set up a large row of tables in the yard. The tables were covered with snow-white tablecloths. With all kinds of desserts, melons and fruits, the cakes made by Daimei are also beautiful.
Gu Yuqi actually copied the modern cold meal to the ancient times.
The officials and wives of Kuizhou City had never seen such a fresh decoration, and those who knew each other gathered together and talked in a low voice.
In the courtyard, Gu Yuqi ordered people to set up many large parasols, and the trees were on the lawn, like huge flowers blooming brilliantly, making the courtyard more colorful.
What made the ladies even more novel was that the various juices provided in Liang Mansion were served in different cups, and some had a small umbrella inserted on top of them. After the people drank the juice, they quietly hid the small paper umbrellas and prepared to take them back to play.
The guarding Mrs. Si naturally admired her face. After the last reminder from Liang Huaiyu, she had ordered people to gather all the kittens in the house to the backyard to find someone to feed them.
She also went to the doctor to read the prescription left by Liang Huaiyu. There was no problem. She took a few sticks according to Liang Huaiyu's words, and now she feels very good. If the child in the womb can be born safely, then Liang Huaiyu is the great benefactor of the guard.
Therefore, she is extraordinarily kind to Liang Huaiyu, as is the case with Mrs. Si. Others dare not show the majesty of an official wife in front of Liang Huaiyu, not to mention their background is not low, from the Liang clan in the south of the Yangtze River.
Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi are all dressed up in a low-key way today, and they are not fake, but they are all the wives and young ladies of officials and eunuchs in Kuizhou City. of.
Liang Huaiyu spoke with the ladies, and Gu Yuqi naturally took a group of young ladies to play in the lake.
At the end of the day, the guests and the host were very happy, and before leaving, Liang Huaiyu was very considerate and prepared small gifts for each family, all of which were a gold Ruyi.
This made the ladies and young ladies of all the houses stunned. They have seen generous people, but I have never seen such a generous one. The moment they make a move, they are gold, and every family has it. All of a sudden, every family has made friends with this mother and daughter. I mean, I just saw that the first shot was gold, and I don't know what to give when I get to know each other in the future.
After this banquet, the Liang Mansion became more famous in Kuizhou City.
After seeing Gu Yuqi's appearance, the wives of the various houses more or less had some thoughts. This family is so rich, and her daughter is born with a beautiful appearance. If she can be married back, then the wealth will be inexhaustible and inexhaustible, not to mention that Gu Yuqi is still an only daughter. After a hundred years of Liang's family, this promising Liang mansion and the wealth inside are not all Gu Yuqi. Is it alone.
Gu Yuqi obviously did not expect that the side effect of the banquet would be that a matchmaker would come to the door the next day to inquire about the birth date, which made her a bit dumbfounded.
Liang Huaiyu was quite happy.
What she has always worried about is that her daughter can't find a good family, and now the matchmaker is coming, which proves that Gu Yuqi is still very popular. So she seriously sent Chun Xing to inquire about the young talents in Kuizhou City.
It's not that Gu Yuqi doesn't know, she just sees Liang Huaiyu happy, so she can't bear to interrupt her. Anyway, Liang Huaiyu won't give her an engagement behind her back, so the final decision is still in her hands, so she doesn't worry about anything. .
Yun Ke, who was far away in the capital, couldn't sit still after receiving the news from Wang Yan.
He knows Gu Yuqi's appearance best, and in Kuizhou, he is like a golden phoenix.
When he thought that Liang Huaiyu began to look for men for Gu Yuqi, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Emperor Jing had the intention to let Gu Huaizhong recognize Gu Yuqi again, but the old fox in Gu Huaizhong didn't know what medicine he had taken, so he refused to take action and pretended to be sick at home. Come with the number.
If Gu Yuqi can't return to the Hou's mansion, she will definitely not be able to be married back as a concubine, which is also very embarrassing for Yun Ke.
He had already planned it, and as soon as Gu Huaizhong recognized Gu Yuqi, he immediately went to his father and asked to marry Gu Yuqi and returned to the house. In fact, not only Yun Ke thinks this way, but also Yun Yi thinks this way.
After sending Zhang Wanyi back to Zhang's house in Jinghu that night, he has completely lost interest in Zhang Wanyi.
Zhang Wanyi can't say she's not beautiful, she always likes to wear white clothes, she looks dignified and beautiful, like a hibiscus out of water, that's because she doesn't know who she is, now Yun Yi knows that Zhang Wanyi's appearance is just pretending Yes, there is an indescribable disgust for her in my heart. Not to mention that after she got married, because she was the daughter of the prime minister, she had a lot of control over Yun Yi, and she even had to make rules for him to go to other concubines.
It really made Yun Yi hate her more and more. However, on the surface, he was still with Zhang Wanyi Xu and Wei She. In any case, he still had to borrow the power of Prime Minister Zhang.
The more I hate Zhang Wanyi, the more I miss Gu Yuqi. Yun Yi is a beautiful woman who likes to be alive and fragrant. Most of his concubines are the kind with bright eyebrows and enchanting bodies. Zhang Wanyi's pure and elegant beauty is not Yun Yi's favorite, but Gu Yuqi's appearance is not her favorite. The most in line with Yunyi's standards.
He also specially called Gu Siyang to the palace, and they became familiar with each other. Once he got Gu Siyang drunk and coaxed him to draw a portrait of his sister.
Gu Siyang has been instructed by famous teachers since he was a child, and his pen and ink skills are also extraordinary. Although he is a little unclear about the south, south, and northwest, he also has a lot of attachment to Gu Yuqi in his heart, so the pen is like a divine help, but only a few comparisons are enough. All of Gu Yuqi's charms were drawn on paper.
After finishing the painting, he shook his head, saying that his brushwork was not strong enough, and the appearance and demeanor of the people he painted were not as good as those of real people.
The person in the painting is already stunning, not as good as the real person, what about the real person?
Yun Yi felt that this painting was a treasure, and immediately ordered someone to mount it and hang it in his study, and enjoy it in his spare time. I can't wait to hold such beauties in my arms for a moment of tenderness.
Gu Yuqi's portrait was naturally seen by Zhang Wanyi, and her teeth were itchy with hatred. When she was a child, Gu Yuqi made her suffer a dumb loss, but she still remembers it. Although there is no intersection later, Zhang Wanyi, who is as arrogant as a peacock, has long given the scene that she experienced in the palace of the eldest princess to her. regarded as a great disgrace.
At that time, she was a few years older than Gu Yuqi, and she asked herself that she always acted cautiously, but she still suffered from that little girl.
It's better now, that dead girl has been expelled from the mansion, as usual, she should be the object of ridicule of the people, but it is a plague, which makes today's His Majesty all have green eyes on the dead girl, and do not know that death The girl has burned some kind of incense.
Now even Yun Yi doesn't know where she got her portrait and put it in the study. Where is Zhang Wanyi's face facing? Speaking of which, she is King Jing's Concubine, King Jing is too lazy to even look at her, but stares at a portrait every day.
She knew that Emperor Jing wanted Gu Yuqi to return to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. If she did come back, she was afraid that her unsatisfactory husband would immediately ask her to marry her back.
This woman had that kind of wrist when she was a child, and now she doesn't know what she will be like. She has a natural fox face again, and a portrait is hooked on her husband. If a real person enters the mansion , Even if she can only be a side concubine now, I am afraid that within two years, her position as the main concubine will be given to that dead girl.
No, she would never let this happen.
The matter of the prince concubine poisoning the prince's side concubine has been found out. Now the prince is becoming more and more shameful in front of Emperor Jing. If the prince is abolished, it is his husband who is most likely to be crowned prince. She would never allow Gu Yuqi's wild girl who appeared out of nowhere to take her place.
Jing Wang Zhengfei is her, the future crown princess, and the future queen position is hers.
When Zhang Wanyi was angry, she went to the palace to find her mother-in-law and cried to her mother-in-law.
Concubine De had never liked Gu Yuqi, but her son liked it. On the one hand, her son kept urging her, and on the other hand, her daughter-in-law kept crying. She really made Concubine De have two heads, and she felt even more towards Gu Yuqi from the bottom of her heart. disgusted.
This person is not in the capital, and he has the ability to turn their house into a pot of porridge, which really makes Concubine De hate it.
So she also decided to pay attention, as soon as Gu Yuqi returned to the capital, she would immediately ask His Majesty to point her to a family, and she could marry whoever she wanted, as long as it wasn't his son!
She didn't want her son's house to be disturbed.
