After talking earnestly with his wife, Zhao Luli's impression of her changed greatly. Although he was still a little wary, he also appreciated a lot and felt more guilty inside. He sent the person back to the main room, immediately sent the housekeeper to secretly investigate the source of the rumor, and then hid in the study to reflect on himself.
Guan Suyi took off her gorgeous robe and wore only a plain cotton smock, and sat lazily on a reclining chair drinking tea. Mingfang didn't know where she ran to, thinking that she was either in Zhao Chunxi's yard or wandering near the study. Minglan's most honest duty, at the moment, is putting the cloth, jewelry, medicinal materials and other items sent by Zhongshi into the cage, and muttering, "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own dog kennel. You only know when you enter the Hou Mansion. , or the best at home. Miss, I really didn't want to come back just now."
"Do you think I want to go back to this ghost place?" Guan Suyi put down the teacup, took out an unfinished purse from the sewing box, and sewed slowly.
Minglan hesitated for a while and then said, "Miss, it's just a few rumors, why are the old master and the master so angry? Knowing shame and then courage, I know this sentence, if it doesn't imply that Hou Ye does not know shame. You don't even have to speak if you swear so hard!"
Guan Suyi twisted the silver needle and slowly stretched the silk thread, "Those rumors are just trivial matters, my grandfather and father are tyrannizing me, of course they have to beat me hard, so that I don't stand up straight. But inside There are also some Jifeng you don't know, and I can't explain it to you. You just need to know that Zhenbeihou and the emperor not only have no friendship, but also have gaps. He pulled the emperor's banner to suppress the Guan family, saying that his father He asked for the official position of and grandfather, and he wouldn't care if it was passed on to others, but if it was passed on to the emperor, it would be like smashing his face off and stepping on it."
Smoothing the silk cloth with her light-white fingertips, she showed a smile, "You said, if I rip your face off, will it hurt? Will it hurt? Do you want to die?"
"It hurts! It's uncomfortable! I want to die!" Ming Lan covered her face and nodded in fear.
"So if I scare him casually, he's scared. Just wait, whoever dares to chew my tongue behind my back in the future, without me taking care of it, he will be smothered. I came to the Zhao family not to fight this, but that. I'm here to live a good life, someone is rushing to be a gunman for me, why don't I use it?" Of course, her childhood only included Minglan and her relatives, but not the Zhao family.
"Will the rumor really reach the emperor's ears?" Ming Lan asked cautiously, then walked to the window and looked around like a thief.
"Silly girl, what do you think he is, Zhao Luli? Worth the emperor's attention? There must be one or two scouts, not only the Houfu, other families, and even the royal family. This, as long as the Marquis of Zhenbei does not commit a rebellion and intends to rebel, he will not intervene in other matters. Zhao Luli takes himself too seriously, I don't know what to think, but he is scared like that." Ruo accounted for Which fierce general, capable official, or the wife of a powerful prince, the emperor may take the trouble to kill this person, so as not to leave future troubles, but if it is Zhao Luli, a mute bastard, he will not even take a look at it!
Guan Suyi didn't dare to say this last sentence in her heart, for fear that the little girl Minglan could not hold back and cause trouble. The source of the rumors, you don't need to check her to know who is responsible. Except for Zhao Chunxi, no one can come up with such a childish and clumsy trick.
She has two purposes, one is to deceive herself, so that she feels grateful and revered for the Hou Mansion, so that she can control it in the future; Sell yourself. She can sing the red face and the white face all by herself. She was so cunning at a young age, and she really had the demeanor of her mother.
Just thinking about it, Mingfang's affectionate voice came from outside, "Oh, the eldest lady is here, come in! The servant has just boiled the cold soup, and I will bring it to you."
Minglan rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice, "Miss, you have been back for so long, and she didn't say that there is a cold-dispelling soup in the kitchen."
Guan Suyi raised her index finger against her lips, her slightly raised eyebrows full of a playful smile.
Zhao Chunxi walked in slowly with the help of the two girls, his face still ill, and he looked very weak. Ming Lan hurriedly put her on the heated kang, Guan Suyi pulled the quilt to cover her cold legs, and scolded, "If you don't lie down well, why are you running around? I'll do it back and forth, girl."
Zhao Chunxi put on an ashamed expression, and he stopped talking for a while before saying softly, "I, I'm here to apologize to my mother, how can I let the servants do it for me? Maybe my mother has heard the news, right? It's not as good as it sounds, and I'm really ashamed to hear it..." Yaoyao said the rumors again, she knelt down after getting off the kang, but fortunately she was pulled up by Minglan, who was fast-eyed and pressed on the kang, and had to apologize, "Mom, don't be in a hurry, I have suppressed the rumors, and whoever dares to make irresponsible remarks in the future, I will never allow him in the town of Beihou Mansion."
Not in the future? Does that mean this time? You can suppress the rumors you made, and there are no servants who participated in the bullshit. Maybe you will get a lot of reward silver, and then you will sell it to me, the bitter master. It is rare to be so shameless at such a young age. Guan Suyi slandered and replied, "It's for this. Your father has heard of it too, and now a decent person is investigating. The punishment that should be punished, the beating that should be beaten, the selling that should be sold, and whoever commits the crime will be held accountable. , I don’t need you to apologize. Besides, your father has personally sued my grandfather and father before, and the family doesn’t have to say anything about the two families, so you don’t have to always worry about it.”
Guan Suyi touched Zhao Chunxi's head and comforted her softly, "Don't take care of these things, just take care of your health."
Guan family already know? Zhao Chunxi was stunned, and his face immediately turned pale. The Guan family and their sons were the benchmarks the emperor set up to promote Confucianism, and their official positions had nothing to do with the Zhao family. Originally, this rumor was only spread to Guan Suyi alone, and it was enough to deter her, but she did not expect it to spread to the Guan family. How embarrassing should the father be
After thinking about his father's decent people to investigate the matter, Zhao Chunxi originally wanted to turn around and deal with the aftermath, but he was afraid of revealing his deeds. Fortunately, her two big girls were very clever, and they made an excuse to leave in a hurry.
"It's good that mother doesn't blame you." Zhao Chunxi endured and endured and said gratefully, "As soon as I saw you that day, I felt very close, as if I knew you in my previous life, so I asked my father to say that I wanted you to do it. My mother. Dad also likes you very much. In order to give you a beautiful wedding, I went to the emperor to ask for the imperial edict of marriage... "
These words are undoubtedly to gain goodwill again, and they are intended to tell Guan Suyi: You can get the emperor's marriage and become the mistress of Zhenbei Hou's mansion, all thanks to her Zhao Chunxi. I don't know where the confidence of the other party came from. Is it true that all the women in Wei want to marry Zhao Luli? He is indeed handsome and talented, and in the eyes of others, he is like a beautiful jade, but in Guan Suyi's eyes, he is a living bastard with a green head.
In the last life, he was never fooled by Zhao Luli's flashy appearance, so how could he fall into this life? Humans and Bastards are not of the same race at all, and they have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Interrupting Zhao Chunxi's warm words, Guan Suyi frowned and said, "I said how could I marry into Zhenbei Hou's mansion, it turns out that your father and daughter forced me. My grandfather was an emperor and my father was Taichang. Qing, in terms of family background, I am not worse than the first lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why should she be able to enter the palace as a concubine, and I can only be a little Mrs. Hou?"
Zhao Chunxi was dumbfounded. He didn't expect the other party to react this way. When he was about to explain, he heard her say, "Forget it, marrying a chicken follows a chicken and marrying a dog. Since I have been mistaken for the rest of my life, I can only accept my fate. Go back, I want to be alone for a while." His tone was full of disgust and helplessness.
Zhao Chunxi was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas came out. She had thought that this person would be obsessed with Daddy like other girls, but she didn't know that she was not only not infatuated, but also disliked it. Chickens, dogs, she actually uses animals to compare her father, what a poisonous mouth! But that's right, compared to the position of the palace concubine, Mrs. Hou is really nothing.
Farming and studying family heirlooms, high morals, not admiring fame and fortune, bah, all lies! Zhao Chunxi said goodbye politely, went out of the main room, scolded the other party in his heart, and then thought of his mother in the palace, which made him even more frustrated. The Marquis of Zhenbei has fallen, and this realization came to her mind so clearly that her straight back slowly bent down. In a short period of time, she did not dare to come close to the main room again, so as not to be slapped in the face by a poor woman.
When they were far away, Ming Lan said in a low voice, "Miss, do you really want to enter the palace as a concubine?"
"I deliberately used words to block her, so that she would not always think that Zhenbei Hou's mansion was so prominent, noble, and superior." Guan Suyi pointed to the embroidered pier where Zhao Chunxi had sat, and instructed, "Take boiling water and scald it well, Dirty."
Minglan hurriedly brought boiling water and said, "Miss, are you not afraid that Zhao Chunxi will run to tell the Hou Ye? You are the wife of the Zhao family after all, so it's hard to say if you want to enter the palace?"
"So what? Silly girl, I said I would wait for Zhao Luli and live with him, so just believe it? I never thought of entering the palace as a concubine, I just hate them for messing up the new life I finally got. In the future, they will make me feel a little bit uncomfortable, and I will make them feel ten thousand times more uncomfortable, so it will be interesting for us to spend it like this." As if thinking of something, Guan Suyi smiled.
Minglan was full of doubts and couldn't understand where the deep hatred between the young lady and the Hou Mansion came from. But she has always been honest, and only wiped the embroidered piers clean and bright, so she sat on the feet and helped the master to put the soles of the shoes, and did not dare to ask any more questions.
The ground dragon was burning in the house, and the heat quickly evaporated the water gathered in the cracks of the bricks. One of the master and the servant was reading a book, and the other was doing needlework, and it took more than an hour before you knew it. Suddenly, messy footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and Zhao Chunxi's maid, Hexiang, shouted, "Madam is not good, Lord Hou wants to do something to the young master, please go and persuade him! This is also because of you. Now, I need your help to solve it!"
Did this find Zhao Wangshu's head? Guan Suyi closed the book, stretched it flat, and pressed it under the pillow, so she put on her clothes and shoes unhurriedly, turning Lotus Xiang around in a hurry, but she didn't dare to rush. She can see that this new lady looks like a poor woman, she is bigger than anyone else!
