Early the next morning, Gu Lian put on a light, narrow-sleeved shirt and set foot on the carriage with Lanxiang.
She used to take Mei Xiang with her, but now Mei Xiang needs to stay at home and sit in town, so it is suitable to bring Lan Xiang, who has learned some medical skills. Lanxiang is calm and meticulous. Although her mouth is clumsy, she is the most careful when handling affairs and can also respond to emergencies in a timely manner.
The Yin family didn't know that Gu Lian was going to go out to the Princess' Mansion to be a guest, and she didn't know until Gu Lian said it to her in the morning. But at this time, the carriage of the princess' mansion was already waiting outside. No matter how much dissatisfaction the Yin family had, it was impossible to stop him at this time, so he could only watch Gu Lian leave.
"This little girl is too ignorant of praise!" Yin's chest was tight with anger, "I don't want to take the initiative to bring my sister with me. Is it easy for Her Royal Highness to get along with her? It's good to only know how to monopolize it, really raising one. The white-eyed wolf doesn't know filial piety at all!"
Yulan lowered her eyes to help her, and she was very disapproving.
The family itself has a bad relationship with the mother and sister, and also has hatred. It is strange to bring the mother and daughter of the Yin family. Even if she was really stupid enough to offer to take Gu Qing with her, Yin shi would probably suspect that she was uneasy and kind.
Yin shi has had too many comfortable days in these years, and took himself too seriously.
Yulan is a little worried. Madam has been pampered for many years, and her delicate heart has long been slack. Now that she meets the smooth and difficult Aunt Li in the backyard, she doesn't know how much she has a chance of winning.
Gu Lian, however, no matter how annoyed her mother-in-law was, she sat on the carriage with a smile and chatted with Su Dan, who had specially come to pick her up.
Thanks to the princess, Sudan is not like other palace maids who only serve people every day. Qiao Mingyu is a person who plays cards according to common sense. She likes to drag others to talk with her about books that she thinks are good, but the women's army around them are all female men who don't like red makeup and arms, and even less like reading. The maid next to you watched it together. Therefore, Sudan was well-informed and read many classics.
Unlike the princess who prefers miscellaneous books, Sudan often spends time in the study with permission, reading any book. Even if she can't be proficient in everything, she knows a little bit, so she can pick up a couple of sentences about everything.
Through some conversations, Gu Lian keenly found that Su Dan prefers geographical biographies, especially those travelogues. Su Dan, who has been confined to the palace since childhood, is very eager for the outside world. She can follow the princess to take a look at the scenery inside and outside the capital, but she can't see the scenery farther away.
Gu Lian, as a Miao person who left the Five Poison Religion's main altar in the Central Plains early, has not only seen the mountains and peaks of the Wudu Wuxin Mountain, but also the magnificent scenery of famous mountains and rivers in Kyushu, and the scenery outside the Great Wall and the East China Sea. Boundary landscapes such as Kedao and the vast deserts of the Western Regions. She consciously talked about these topics that Sudan was interested in, and soon Sudan became addicted to it and could not extricate herself.
"These travel journal slaves have never seen it." When the carriage stopped, Su Dan sighed regretfully.
Gu Lian smiled calmly: "It's all the books in my mother's dowry. It's not famous, and it's not well written. Those scenes are all my own associations based on the only records, and they're not necessarily accurate."
The original owner's mother, Auntie's family, was in business and bought many books for the front door, but in fact, the children in the family didn't like to read them. Later, when the family was in trouble, all those who could sell the money were exchanged for money. These unvaluable travel notes could not be sold, so they kept it.
In fact, after so many generations, the travel notes are almost lost. After all, it is not a valuable thing, but these outsiders will not know, it is very convenient for Gu Lian to lie. Not only travel notes, but there are also some other kinds of books in those books, which are basically not well-known books, and there are many miscellaneous books.
With the help of the little eunuch, Su Dan got off the carriage, and then turned to help Gu Lian: "Even so, Miss Gu is very powerful."
Gu Lian was about to say something, but Qiao Mingyu, who had been waiting impatiently, came out of the side door with a horse whip, followed by a little eunuch who was leading a horse.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the polo." Qiao Mingyu raised his chin at Gu Lian, and Gu Lian had no choice but to sit on the carriage with the hand of the servant.
This time, Sultan did not follow, but another woman in a strong suit got into the carriage.
"Miss Gu, Qiu He, the daughter of the Duke of Xiazhen, is the commander of the right guard next to His Highness." The man bowed his hands in a salute, completely masculine, very neat.
Qiao Mingyu was surrounded by two teams of personal guards, the left guard was a male guard formed for her by the emperor, and the right guard was a female guard selected by herself in the women's army. In addition, she also has ten guards in two teams, A and B. A is a male and B is a female, hiding in the dark.
The left guard guarded Qiao Mingyu on the outside, while the right guard was close to the carriage and Qiao Mingyu, protecting him.
Nowadays, there are many people who want to arrest Qiao Mingyu to threaten the third prince, and the recent polo match is in the suburbs of Beijing, so Qiao Mingyu will naturally have to bring everyone along when he goes out. The superior left guard commander and deputy commander guarded Qiao Mingyu's side, while the less powerful Qiu He entered the carriage and sat in town, while the remaining right guard deputy commander sat beside the coachman outside on guard.
Gu Lian gave Qiu He a friendly salute, lifted the curtain and looked outside the car. The left and right guards only followed half of them, and the remaining half were guarding the princess' mansion, but even so, there were a lot of people. Gu Lian glanced at it roughly, there were about forty or fifty people in total.
So many people, enough to protect them.
Lan Xiang also saw the battle at the outer gate, and was shocked. She had never seen anyone with so many guards before. What she has seen the most is that the Yin family went out with nearly ten maids, most of them were little maids who could not speak, and there was no first guard there.
"Miss..." Lan Xiang frowned slightly, and quietly tugged at Gu Lian's sleeve.
"It's okay." Gu Lian smiled comfortingly at her.
Qiu He drank the tea cup carelessly, but his movements were not rude. It could be seen that the family education of the Duke of Zhenguo was very good. Gu Lian was very fond of her, and such a woman was very close to the temperamental chivalrous women she had met in her previous life.
"Ms. Gu has a lot of courage." Qiu He said with admiration.
It sounds provocative and sarcastic, but she really has no ill intentions.
Gu Lian calmly poured a cup of tea for himself, and took a sip from his mouth: "It's just a newborn calf that's not afraid of tigers."
Qiu He was noncommittal and changed the subject: "His Royal Highness played polo very well, Miss Gu will take a good look at it later."
"That's natural." Gu Lian put down the teacup, and tapped the corner of his lips with the veil, "It's just that I don't understand this, and I want Commander Qiu to take more care of me."
Qiu He suddenly felt a little stomachache.
She was the worst at dealing with such a quiet and elegant woman, and Gu Lian made her think of the dignified and generous sister at home. She was born by the same mother, she was as active as a tomboy and was proud of her father, while her younger sister was gentle and quiet, just like the daughter of a civil servant.
It was a torture to think that every time I went home, my sister spoke and did things in a hurry, and even took a small bite to eat. Qiu He's head hurt even more, and then she saw Gu Lian slowly using a handkerchief across his hands, picking up a piece of cake and eating it in small bites.
OMG! It's life-threatening!
Qiu He took a deep breath and turned his head away.
A smile slowly appeared in Gu Lian's eyes, well, she did it on purpose.
When this person talked to her, his attitude was okay, but when he glanced at Lanxiang, he was a little contemptuous. It is inevitable that the other party is the proud daughter of heaven, and Lan Xiang is seeing the world for the first time today, acting like a country bumpkin. Qiu He was not malicious, but his eyes were subconsciously subtle. Gu Lian naturally couldn't care more about her, but it was still possible to find a place for Lan Xiang in a small way.
Qiu He may have been in the military camp for a long time, and he is a little honest, and it is not difficult to guess his mind, Gu Lian can see through it at a glance. If not, Gu Lian may not be sure how to "revenge" for a while.
"It's just ahead." Qiu He reminded awkwardly.
"Thank you." Gu Lian nodded with a smile.
Qiu He glanced at Gu Lian's handkerchief, which was folded to one side, and his temples couldn't help but jump. She really couldn't understand why she had to toss so much to eat a piece of cake, couldn't she just hold it with her hands? It's really not good, can't it be over after eating and wiping your hands
The civil servant girl is an incomprehensible creature.
