209, toast and fine wine
Zheng's face was kind and loving, and he was not at all unhappy about being disturbed in his sleep.
"It's so late, is there something wrong?"
Yulian and Yucui couldn't help but feel uneasy, worried that Miss Zheng would be unhappy.
Gu Qianxue's pretty face, which was still full of smiles just now, collapsed, followed by a sigh, "Just after I came out from my mother, I was blocked by Aunt Pei, begging Qianxue to come to Manfuyuan to plead for my second sister and let her go back."
When Zheng heard this, she became angry, and slapped the armrest of the chair hard, "It's ridiculous, she thinks that Laoshen can still abuse Qianrou? Anyway, Qianrou is also Laoshen's granddaughter and a member of our Gu family!"
Gu Qianxue said nothing.
The nurse at the side immediately persuaded Zheng Shi to calm down in a low voice, helped Zheng Shi sit on the chair, and Xiangxue brought tea.
Mrs. Zheng drank for a long time before she finally recovered her breath, "You all go down." He said to the servants around him.
All the maids, including Yulian and Yucui, took their leave and left. Apart from Zheng Shi and Gu Qianxue, there was only Zheng Shi's personal nurse, Nanny Wu, in the room.
"Qianxue, since you came at this hour, it means that you want to let her go." Zheng changed her face, without the anger just now, but with a faint smile of inquiry, "Don't you hate her?"
Gu Qianxue naturally expected that the Zheng family would release him sooner or later.
Smiling, "I don't hate it, I just feel bored sometimes." Gu Qianxue told the truth.
"Oh?" Zheng Shi became interested, "Since she was a child, Qianrou has lied to you a lot."
It turned out that the old lady knew it all, and Gu Qianxue couldn't help complaining in her heart since she kept silent.
"Then why didn't grandma protect me before?" Gu Qianxue asked without answering.
This question turned Zheng Shi upside down, Zheng Shi thought for a moment, and then said seriously, "Even if you are a nurse, you don't understand."
That's right, for a person who can't figure it out, but offends a person who can figure it out, the loss outweighs the gain.
Gu Qianxue served tea for Mrs. Zheng, and said with a smile, "Grandmother is right. I didn't understand how they tricked and lied to me in the past; now that I understand, I won't let them take advantage of me. So, I don't want to talk to them. hate."
Mrs. Zheng looked at Gu Qianxue from a distance, "It's not that you don't hate, but that you don't put your mind in this back house at all. In other words, this small back house can't restrain you at all. Since you After falling into the water, your temperament changed drastically, and Laosang felt that you had changed, and you became invisible, yet untouchable."
Gu Qianxue chuckled, "Why can't I touch it, I am right in front of my grandmother, if you want to touch it, you can touch it enough."
As she spoke, she put her delicate and soft hands on Zheng Shi's, only to find that Zheng Shi's hands were very cold.
For this grandmother, although Gu Qianxue seemed to respect her, she actually had no feelings for her, but the coldness of her subordinates made her cherish her for a while.
Gu Qianxue held Zheng Shi's hand, warming it with the temperature of her palm.
Zheng still looked at Gu Qianxue, "Well, even if you don't hate Pei's mother and daughter, then tell me why you let Qianrou go."
Gu Qianxue shook her head, "Let it go? Isn't it a matter of time? Either Aunt Pei is pleading with me, or Prime Minister Pei is testing pressure with his father. Since we knew the result earlier, why do we still have to toast instead of fine wine?" ?”
Zheng smiled, "What you see is transparent."
"In fact, everything in the world is so simple. People can't see it through because they don't want to see it through. In many cases, they just want to deceive themselves and others." Gu Qianxue said.
"Then what do you think about your marriage?" Mrs. Zheng seldom chatted with her grandchildren, but today she became interested.
Gu Qianxue thought for a moment, and said seriously, "This matter will never be accomplished. Let's not talk about whether Marshal Zhao, who is loyal to the emperor, is willing to join the prince's side, but only that the emperor, who is still in his prime, will allow the prince to be too powerful? Of course, it is not unresolved." The best way is not to abolish the prince, but another way is to train another prince who is as powerful as the prince."
Mrs. Zheng narrowed her eyes, "Who told you these things?" King Li
Gu Qianxue said, "No one told me, because the truth is too simple."
Indeed, the reason is simple, but for modern people with advanced information, how could the ancients have so much knowledge? Where does insight come from? book! But under the social system where the imperial power is centralized, how can it be possible to allow such stories of "gong fights" and "power schemes" to spread widely
The Nanyue Kingdom is the same as ancient China, and most of them use the policy of obscuring the people.
However, in an era when social productivity is underdeveloped, people still spend more energy on how much money they save and how many concubines they marry, so naturally they don't spend their minds on political affairs that have nothing to do with their own lives.
Therefore, the truth is very simple for modern people, but in Nanyue country, only officials can understand it.
The shock in Zheng's eyes couldn't be concealed at all. She was amazed by Gu Qianxue's transformation. On the one hand, she was secretly delighted, but on the other hand she was worried, but she didn't know whether such a Gu Qianxue would help or cause trouble for the Gu family.
Gu Qianxue didn't say much, and just quietly accompanied her, letting Mrs. Zheng think about something.
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Mrs. Zheng said to Madam Wu, "Go and bring Gu Qianrou out."
Gu Qianxue became curious, "Grandmother, Qianxue is really curious, how will you raise your second sister?" What method can be used to cure her arrogance and frivolity
Mrs. Zheng said with a smile, "To raise a young woman, one has to grind her temper. There is no better way than copying a female ring."
Gu Qianxue suddenly realized, and then gave a thumbs up, "It's better to use grandma's method."
The grandparents and grandchildren enjoyed themselves happily, and Madam Wu also laughed along with her.
Not long after, Gu Qianrou came in accompanied by a maid, but the maid beside her was not Cui'er.
Zheng restrained Gu Qianrou, but did not let the maid beside her be by her side. In order to make her isolated and helpless, her spirit would break down more easily and she would be more obedient.
Sure enough, Gu Qianrou lost her usual arrogant look, and her eyes were all timid, "Qianrou greets the old lady... big sister." Her voice was also trembling.
Zheng said with a smile, "Did you have any insight into copying women's rings these two days?"
Gu Qianrou nodded quickly. "Back to the old lady, Qianrou has a feeling, Qianrou was wrong before, please forgive the old lady, please forgive me, big sister."
Mrs. Zheng looked at Gu Qianxue, and Gu Qianxue also got up from her seat, went to Gu Qianrou's side, took her hand, and said softly, "You and I are sisters, how can there be any real hatred? Don't you hate your family too , the family members are all for your own good, and after leaving the house, there is no one who is so sincere to you."
Gu Qianxue said this from the bottom of her heart.
Gu Qianrou kept her head down, "Yes, Qianrou remembered, thank you for your teaching." In fact, she still hated and despised her in her heart.
Zheng Shi said, "Since I know I'm wrong, it's my first time, I'm old enough to make the decision, so I'll let you go back, go."
Gu Qianxue complained in her heart, when it comes to being good-looking, she is still not as good as this old lady of the Zheng family.
