(Four)
Zhao'er originally intended for her to question Madam Gu, but was blocked by Xue Tingxian.
Xue Tingxiang meant that he came.
It seems that the incident of the Gu family still moved him against the scales, he is not easily angry, and since he is angry, the matter will not end so easily.
The next morning after the early morning, after Emperor Jiacheng left, a group of officials walked out of the palace gate in twos and threes.
The Gu family and the Xue family got married, and they have been very popular in the court recently. In order to show that the relationship with the Xue family is not normal, every time Gu Heng left the court in the morning, he would talk to Xue Tingxiang or walk for a while.
But today, when he got close, the other party gave him a cold look.
"Master Xue, this is—" Gu Heng was puzzled.
Xue Tingxiang sneered: "Master Gu should understand what the Gu family does. After two days, the officials will ask Zhuojing to order people to go to your house to retire, and there is no need to say anything else."
After he finished speaking, he walked away.
Although there was an official on the side who didn't hear what the two of them said, but it was so obvious that the two were at odds. Isn't this in-law? They all looked at each other.
Gu Heng's face turned blue and white, and he left in a hurry.
Since old Xue Ge can make such an attitude, it must be no trivial matter. Gu Heng went out of the palace gate without even going to the Ministry of Rites, so he went straight back to the palace.
After returning to the mansion, he was furious. First of all, Mrs. Gu suffered a seedling. He felt that Mrs. Gu must have said something that angered Mrs. Zhao Guo, otherwise why would Xue Ge Lao give him shame.
Madam Gu was confused and extremely aggrieved, so she quarreled with Master Gu.
When Gu Heng calmed down and knew that his wife would not lie about this kind of thing, he ordered someone to investigate in the house, and he wanted to know who in this family was daring and hated the Xue family.
Since I really wanted to check it, there was nothing I couldn't find, and soon the signs pointed to Shao Yan, the cousin of the Gu family.
Speaking of this Shao Yan, it is natural to talk about the aunt of the Gu family, Gu Heng's sister, Gu Lanying, the daughter of Mrs. Gu.
This Gu Lanying is also a hard-working person. It is obvious that the marriage is good, and the relationship between the husband and wife is smooth. Unfortunately, her husband is short-lived.
Gu Lanying didn't give birth to a son, so she couldn't stand at her husband's house, so she took her daughter to her parents' house and lived in Gu's house for many years.
Mrs. Gu felt sorry for her daughter, and naturally she also felt sorry for her granddaughter, so Gu Lanying and her daughter lived fairly well in the Gu family. She also had the idea of assigning her granddaughter to Gu Qian, but Mrs. Gu firmly opposed it, and Gu Heng didn't want her mother to take her son to pity her sister, so she had to let it go.
But Shao Yan and Gu Qian grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Even though they were seven-year-olds, men and women had different seats. In the end, there were more meetings between men and women than ordinary men and women under one roof.
Shao Yan secretly promised Gu Qianfang, but unfortunately Gu Qian only wanted to get a job title and talk about other things, no doubt that Luohua was intentional and ruthless.
Gu Lanying's mother and daughter originally wanted to wait for Gu Qian to pass the entrance exam/name, and then talk about marriage. Who ever wanted to kill a Xue family halfway.
This incident was caused by Gu Lanying and her daughter.
Gu Lanying was born into an aristocratic family and knew very well that without her father and brother, her daughter would not be able to marry well. And the situation of her mother and daughter is like a castle in the air. Maybe she can still live in Gu's house by relying on Madam Gu's affection, but what about when the old lady goes? Her sisters-in-law were not close to her.
But if the daughter married into the Gu family, it would be different. With this relationship, if the nephew married the daughter, the Gu family would not bully the daughter no matter how bad it was, and her future life would be guaranteed.
So after knowing that the Xue Gu family got married, she would make such a scene.
She knew that this matter would be revealed sooner or later, and when there was trouble in the house, she took the lead in running to her mother and crying.
Madam Gu was angry and hated, thinking that her daughter should not tell her, so she made a scene like this.
But she was born by herself, and since the beginning, Mrs. Gu had an attitude of disapproval of her marriage with the Xue family, but the eldest son insisted that she could not say more.
What does it mean that only one cannot take a concubine, when they take care of the family and despise the daughter of the Xue family
She was pampered and stayed in the back house all the time. She really didn't know that the Gu family was the daughter of the Xue family. Therefore, Gu Heng came in a rage, facing the fact that his sister was low and small, and his mother showed her protection.
But Gu Heng can achieve this official position, of course, he cannot be easily shaken.
He was furious, and even Mrs. Gu was reprimanded. At the same time, he did not forget to explain to Mrs. Gu the origin of the Xue family and the saint, Xue Tingxiang's iron-clad first assistant, the next emperor's teacher, and If the Gu family offends the Xue family, the situation will be difficult in the future, and he does not need to expect to be promoted again.
In addition, he did not forget to mention Madam Xue's identity as Madam Zhao Guo, who was His Majesty's savior, and set a precedent to only seal the identity of a woman's official life. Even Mrs. Gu had to salute when she saw each other.
Since then, Mrs. Gu has been stunned, and she has admitted her own fault and Gu Lanying's fault, but when Gu Heng wanted to send Gu Lanying's mother and daughter away, she quit.
Said that he was just such a daughter, and he wanted to send her away together.
But she also knew that she didn't make a decision, her son would definitely not give up, so she took the initiative to send Gu Lanying's mother and daughter to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to live in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and she would pick them up after Gu Qian got married. When the time to find someone to marry her off.
This time, Mrs. Gu really gave up her mind about marrying her granddaughter to her grandson. Gu Heng could see it, so she gave up.
In the afternoon, Gu Heng took Mrs. Gu and Gu Qian to the Xue Mansion in person.
First of all, he made it clear that he had never thought of making Gu Qian and his cousin marry, and then explained the relationship between Gu Lanying and the Gu family, as well as the treatment of Gu Lanying's mother and daughter, only to swear to heaven.
And Mrs. Gu also held her hand and said repeatedly that she was really sorry and wronged Ning Ning.
In fact, from the moment of contact with Mrs. Gu, Zhao'er is quite pleasant to get along with each other. It can be seen that Mrs. Gu has a gentle and reasonable temperament, and Zhao'er likes to deal with reasonable people.
She has always eaten soft and not hard, so she can't make a cold face. But that's all, I always felt that I was still holding my breath. At this time, Gu Qian suddenly proposed that he wanted to see Ning Ning.
Zhao'er hesitated again and again, and finally agreed.
Gu Qian was led to Ningxi Academy.
I didn't go in, I just stood in the corridor.
It can be seen that this young man is very fond of Ning Ning, and this is the first time he has done such a thing. Although his face is red and his ears are red, he is still talking and analyzing his inner words.
Ning Ning sat on the kang behind the window and listened, with Zhishu and a few maids standing beside her.
The house was extremely quiet.
She looked at the boy standing under the porch through the bright glazed window, and she could see that he liked her very much.
But what does it feel like to love someone
Everyone worked hard, he tried hard to get her forgiveness, his father and mother tried hard to make her happy, and she was actually trying too.
That's actually pretty good.
"girl?"
"Go and tell him, I never blame him. The marriage is as usual, and I won't quit."
…
The Gu family had already left, and Zhao Er listened to the next person's narration and sighed.
After waving the servant back, she looked at Xue Tingxiang with a little sigh: "So that's it?"
"Your daughter even said she would not quit the relationship, what else can you say as a mother."
She really couldn't say anything. The Gu family's attitude calmed her and her husband's hearts. The only entanglement was the fear of her daughter's grievance. Since her daughter said she didn't mind, what else could they mind
Zhao'er touched her hair and sighed, "Fortunately, Ning Ning is the only daughter. If there is another one, my hair will be half white."
"Don't forget you have a second child."
Yes, Xue Yaotai should say kiss according to his age.
"Can that be the same?" Zhao'er retorted.
Xue Tingxiang glanced at her with a smile, obviously saying that she was partial.
"The son is married in, the daughter is married out, can be the same!"
Certainly not the same.
King Lu knew Xue Tingxiang's short-tempered character, so he thought that this matter would definitely cause a disturbance.
Who ever thought that there would be no turmoil, but instead, there was rumors that the marriage of the Xue Gu family was approaching.
Ningning's attitude that day made King Lu feel strange, so it seemed that the problem was with that girl.
What does the girl want to do
Is it because he gave up on himself and married himself at will
Before this approach was changed, King Lu would definitely sneer, but for some reason, this time it made him quite annoyed.
After many days of irritability, he gave birth to a feeling of wanting to see that girl. He soon found an opportunity at the Moon Appreciation Banquet in the fifteenth palace of August.
As King Lu, it was relatively easy to meet someone in the palace.
So when Ningning found that he was led the wrong way by the little eunuch, he saw King Lu standing under a banyan tree not far away.
The bright moon is in the sky, and the night wind is blowing.
King Lu was dressed in a royal blue robe embroidered with gold silk thread as a dragon prince, which made him look extraordinarily handsome and handsome.
Ning Ning was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded: "His Royal Highness King Lu, you..."
"Why did that matter go away? Are you really planning to marry the Gu family?"
Ning Ning didn't expect King Lu to talk about this, and his eyes became complicated, but the light here was dim, so he couldn't see it.
"The matter has been explained clearly, the Gu family doesn't know about it, it's just a misunderstanding." She lowered her eyes and said softly.
"If this king is not mistaken, this girl is Gu Qian's cousin. She and her mother are lonely, living in the Gu family, and being protected by Mrs. Gu. Even if they are sent away now, they will come back soon. "
Ning Ning smiled indifferently, and said, "I will come back when I come back. There are so many people in the Gu family, not everyone has something to do with me. After I get married, I just need to be myself."
"Why are you so naive, with the Xue family background, what kind of person can't marry? If you want a good son-in-law, this king can help you choose, instead of choosing someone like the Gu family who is choked in the throat..."
"His Royal Highness King Lu!"
Ning Ning interrupted him suddenly: "What's better than choking on your throat? Besides, it's my business, it's the Xue family's business, it has nothing to do with who I marry, may I ask you what kind of Identity says these words to me??"
Yeah, what's he in
elder
But as he said before, like choking in the throat, whose throat is the choking
The Xue family didn't care, and she didn't care either. It was ridiculous that he, an outsider, kept caring about him.
Even he doesn't know why he cares so much, because this girl was still in her mother's womb and watched her take shape a little bit? Is it because such a simple and beautiful girl should be happy and beautiful? Or because the girl was young and ignorant, the words she once said to him.
King Lu has never experienced this. He was born in a pirate den since he was a child. Pirates have no right or wrong in order to survive. No one will show his weakness, because it may lead to disaster.
King Lu had never met someone who held his heart in his hands and sent it to another person without any cover.
At first he thought it was ridiculous, ridiculous.
But watching the girl clumsily hide in front of people, afraid of hurting others, his mood was complicated again.
He doesn't care, but why doesn't she care
Is it-
"You like that kid?" King Lu could only come up with such a result.
like
What is like? Is it because you know it's impossible, but you just think about it? Day and night, I draw in my heart, and I draw a shadow engraved on my heart. I am so fascinated, fascinated, and deep into the bone marrow that it cannot be erased.
But some likes are destined to end in vain.
Just like her.
"Uncle, do you like my mother?"
Once such a question, Ning Ning asked King Lu.
At that time, she was ignorant, first met love, and hesitated again and again, but she couldn't hold back, and she took the girl's mind out of her head.
No accident was poured cold water, that is, that time Ning Ning grew up overnight.
King Lu didn't answer this question at first, and he didn't this time either.
It's just that a stupid little girl said to him last time, if you don't like my mother, then like me, and I'll marry you.
And this time, there is no follow-up.
Both were silent.
After a long while, King Lu said in a low voice, "You don't have to make fun of your own life-long event in order to get angry."
"Pissed off? Who am I mad at?"
King Lu was speechless.
Ning Ning looked at him, she hadn't dared to look directly at him for a long time.
She dared before, but she didn't understand. After she understood, she didn't even dare to look at him more.
"His Royal Highness King Lu, don't you think I'm pranking with you?"
King Lu didn't speak, but his expression clearly meant that.
Ning Ning also seemed to have lost interest suddenly, lowered his eyes and said, "I didn't get angry with anyone, whether His Royal Highness King Lu believes it or not. If it's all right, I'll leave."
She looked back and looked around, but didn't see the little eunuch just now, but it wasn't the first time she came to the Royal Garden, so she followed the direction she came from and planned to leave.
A hurried voice suddenly came from behind: "If you want to marry someone, this king can marry you. You don't have to feel wronged or angry with yourself."
Ning Ning stopped, she couldn't believe her ears, she turned to look at King Lu, his eyes told her that he was serious.
Seriously wanting to marry her is not just talking.
In fact, with his pride, he would not say such words casually.
But Ningning suddenly laughed, like a silver bell.
She laughed so much that her shoulders trembled, tears came out, and she put her hands on her knees, but she couldn't help laughing.
After a long while, she turned around and looked at King Lu: "Uncle, why do you think like this, are you pity me?"
King Lu looked at her, his face tense: "I don't feel sorry for you."
"What is that? Or misunderstood, thinking that when I married to the Gu family, I was angry with myself and you?"
"Uncle, do you like me?"
"What right do I have to be angry with you, and I won't be angry with myself. I'm Xue Tingxiang's daughter, and all men in the world can choose from them. I really don't need to do this." It's a random touch, but in fact, the fingers are tightened.
"Uncle, if you had said this to me a year earlier, I would probably have agreed." She smiled and seemed to shake her head with a sigh: "But not now, I have grown up. Yes, I like him. He is very good, outstanding talent, gentle and gentle, a rare candidate for a husband, suitable for my age and family background. As for the year—"
She paused: "That's just an act of ignorance by an ignorant girl. Your Royal Highness King Lu doesn't have to take it seriously, I don't like you anymore."
I don't like you anymore.
King Lu couldn't figure out what he was feeling, and when he came back to his senses, there was no trace of the girl in front of him.
