Ye Mu
Gu Qiang frowned and suddenly thought of the man Ziyan called out the name of the man happily on Xiaoyao Mountain, the man named Ye Mu.
That night, in the pavilion in the backyard of Prime Minister Gu's residence, the Gu family had all sat down early. The troupe on the high stage was singing, and Gu Qiang came early.
It is said that in order to welcome Ye Mu, a guest from afar, the Gu family still found time to host a banquet despite their busy schedule, which is enough to show how important the Ye family is in the eyes of Prime Minister Gu.
Not long after, Prime Minister Gu came over with Gu Huaihuai of the Ye family. When they saw Gu Qiang, several people turned their eyes away in embarrassment.
Even Gu Zhihua, who had not been seen for a long time and was said to be dying, was supported by Qing Luo and came over hunched over.
When she met Gu Qiang's eyes, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled sadly.
Gu Qiang looked away. At that moment, she seemed to feel uncomfortable all over.
After Mrs. Ye sat down, she said to Ye Mu who was standing next to him with a smile on his face: "Mu'er's long journey is very hard. If it weren't for the constant natural disasters in the capital, my aunt would definitely prepare a luxurious reception banquet for you. I hope Mu'er won't dislike it. .”
Ye Mu still wore the same clothes he saw in the afternoon. He stood up, drank tea instead of wine, and said with a smile: "Auntie was joking. It's because of Auntie's blessing that Mu'er has the opportunity to come to the capital to see the world."
The two drank the tea in front of them in one gulp, and as soon as the conversation was over, Ye immediately continued: "As far as my aunt remembers, Mu'er hasn't gotten married yet, right? My daughter's age is exactly the same as yours, and her wealth and appearance match. Very, how about taking this opportunity for the two of you to get to know each other?"
Now that Mrs. Ye can't protect herself, she still wants to find a man for Gu Qiang. This kind of "feeling" really touches her.
Gu Qiang did not make any reaction, but Prime Minister Gu leaned forward, coughed softly, then lowered his voice and leaned into Ye's ear and asked: "Why Qiang'er wants to be with this man? You Are you crazy? Why didn't you discuss this with me before?"
Ye's move of cutting first and then playing was very beautiful, but Gu Qiang was not a fool. The two of them looked more like they had planned something together. She came here just to be bored in the yard.
If you want to know what Mr. Ye's plan is, the easiest way is to have more contact with this woman. No matter how thoughtful a person is, he will more or less reveal his flaws.
Ye Shi gave Prime Minister Gu a look. The latter naturally knew that it was inappropriate to say this in front of Ye Mu. Then he thought about it. If Gu Qiang and Ye Mu really became a family, it would be beneficial and harmless. She immediately felt sorry for Ye Shi. The praise is a bit more.
Ye Mu was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the tea cup and looked at Gu Qiang leisurely. This was regarded as acquiescence. As long as Gu Qiang relaxed at this time, the matter would probably be over.
Tingfeng and Chuixue stood behind with nervous expressions on their faces. Although Mr. Ye was good-looking and had a suitable net worth, the girl didn't like him.
Gu Qiang put down the tea cup and stared at a withered flower tree in the distance, as if she was drifting away from the sky, not caring about what was happening in front of her at all.
"What you said is true, but what does this matter have to do with you?" Gu Qiang turned her head and stared at Ye and asked.
She is a girl who has not yet left the court, but now her marriage is clearly arranged by Ye? Who doesn't know what she is thinking
"Ever since Gu Zhihua got married, madam, you have always been thinking about my marriage. I am a princess, do you need to worry about my marriage?" Gu Qiang continued, holding her hands together, her face was ashen, and she glanced at Prime Minister Gu and Madam Ye suddenly raised the corners of their mouths.
Prime Minister Gu originally thought that Gu Qiang could give him some face in front of outsiders, but he didn't expect that she didn't care about him at all. She has become more and more arrogant in recent days, and it seems that he should give her some good looks.
So Prime Minister Gu said: "Qian'er, my father thought that you were still young. Even if you did something wrong, you would still have a chance to correct it. Since you are so domineering, my father can't pretend not to have seen you. Why don't you go into the woodshed?" Reflect on it and change your bad temper."
Mrs. Ye was immediately elated and looked at Gu Qiang proudly.
After hearing this, Gu Qiang smiled lightly and said: "What does father mean, as long as Qian'er disobeys, he must be punished? No matter whether Qian'er's insistence is correct or not?"
"Since ancient times, parents have ordered matchmakers. When will it be your turn to reject a girl's family's decision?" Prime Minister Gu's beard moved. He was obviously very angry. He just couldn't get angry in front of outsiders, so he forced himself to do so. Resist the urge to lower your voice.
If he didn't change Gu Qiang's temper, he would definitely be hurt internally by her anger.
Gu Qiang still acted as before and said calmly: "My daughter's marriage is a royal marriage. It is handled by the royal family who are more qualified than her father. I advise my father not to act rashly. Nowadays, diseases are rampant in the capital. As a prime minister, my father does not want to Are you putting the cart before the horse when you are so concerned about how to help the people and are so concerned about your daughter’s marriage?”
Prime Minister Gu suddenly struck the table and hit it hard. The tea cup on the table shook and the tea inside spilled all over the floor. Everyone around looked at Prime Minister Gu, as if waiting for this man to get angry and teach him a lesson. This lawless girl.
Ye Mu picked up the teacup. It was full of fine tea leaves. When he was in Jiangnan, his family had a big business and he was very knowledgeable about tea leaves. However, he didn't expect that the people in the capital were also very particular about it. He took a sip and raised his eyes and smiled. , his eyes glanced at Gu Qiang's face.
This action was captured by her without revealing anything.
His gaze on her made her feel very uncomfortable. How could a man look straight at a woman without any hesitation? Don’t you know there is a difference between men and women
"Since Qian'er is not satisfied with this marriage, it doesn't matter. It will take a long time, so we two can get to know each other well." Ye Mu tried to smooth things over, but Gu Qiang didn't feel good in her heart. She was in the Gu family and didn't need anyone to help her speak. , let alone Ye Mu, an outsider
Gu Qiang stood up, and the stage not far away was still singing something unknown. She left the banquet with Ting Feng Chui Xue without even looking at it.
Prime Minister Gu jumped to his feet angrily, but after all, Ye Mu was in front of him, so he smiled and said, "My little girl is ignorant, which makes Mu'er laugh. But if Mu'er likes my little girl, it's not a bad idea for the two of them to make a good thing." No."
Ye Mu smiled indifferently, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the curvaceous girl had disappeared into the sea of flowers, as if she had never appeared before, but she clearly had infinite rejection of him.
Gu Zhihua shivered first, and then he hugged the quilt tightly and said, "Cousin, if you don't like my sister, there is no need to force it. You should always live for yourself in life, not for others."
How could she not know that with her current situation in life, what qualifications did she have to be a life mentor to others
As expected, Prime Minister Gu said angrily: "As you are now, find someone to carry you back quickly and send it to the third prince's house so that he can find someone to treat you. Father has no time to deal with your affairs recently."
After saying that, Prime Minister Gu stood up, seemed to glance at Mr. Ye, and followed him away.
Gu Zhihua was lying on the table alone, crying. Ye's eyes were filled with disdain, and he snorted and said angrily: "What do you have to cry about? Just do what your father said and come back quickly." In the prince’s palace, otherwise you will never be able to go back.”
She turned around and immediately put on a smile on Ye Mu's face. Although he was nearly forty years old, because he was well-maintained, his smile also had a motherly look, which was very gentle.
Ye Muzhen sipped her tea and kept looking at the family quietly.
"Mu'er, please don't go out. Treat yourself as one of your own family members in the house. If you have anything to say, tell the servants. As for the matter between you and Qian'er, talk to her more often when you have nothing to do." Mrs. Ye also stood up. He took Gu Zhihua and left.
Ye Mu was left sitting there alone in a daze. As a guest of the Gu family, he was left alone, making people feel that the Gu family seemed to be very uneducated.
That night, Gu Qiang took out all his belongings and counted them. He didn't expect that there were so many.
Tingfeng and Chuixue both stood in front of the table, looking at the pile of treasures on the table. They didn't expect that the owner of Qingshuiyuan, who looked so shabby, had so much money in his hands.
Some of them were sent by Gu Huai'an. His Tong'an Drug Store has been very profitable over the years. He has only been in business for a few years and has already become famous in the capital.
"Keep the money well, find a yard in a remote part of the capital, and buy it." After saying that, she pushed the money to Tingfeng.
After Tingfeng took the money down, Gusu Liang came up and possessed her and said, "My master hopes that the girl can go to Meilin to meet her."
Merlin? The name was so familiar that she seemed to have thought of something, but she didn't catch it.
Recently, there have been more and more cases where she can always think of something but still can't do anything about it. She feels that something has changed in her mind.
"get ready."
Gusu Liang smiled happily and took her in the direction of Merlin.
It was light night at this time, the moon was in the sky, surrounded by white snow, and it looked dazzling.
There was no one on the official road in the capital, and Gu Qiang's carriage passed through as if there was no one around.
When she arrived at Meilin, she heard the sound of water all around and felt a fresh feeling in her ears. She got off the sedan and looked around, and saw lights on in a pavilion in Meilin not far away.
Plum Grove is the most famous mountain in the entire capital. It is named after the plum trees on the mountain. Everyone must come to see it in winter. In the end, there is no pleasant scenery at this time.
Gu Qiang looked around and saw Shen Qianshan sitting in the pavilion, holding a tea cup in his hand. His chronic illness should have been cured.
Seeing Gu Qiang walking slowly, Shen Qianshan raised a smile and pulled her over. Her hands were cold. Although it was not the first time, Gu Qiang was still very shy.
"Is there something important that we must meet?" Gu Qiang wanted to break free from his hand, but did not do so in the end.
