Chapter 64 Xiaoding
The evening wind was blowing, making the door of the West Warehouse creak.
The rough sound was extremely harsh on this silent night.
Mrs. Gu Tai, who was outside the west warehouse, did not leave, her face was sullen, her eyes were fixed on the swinging warehouse door, and she could not calm down for a long time.
Suspicion, anger, irritability, and more headaches.
If the British duchess agreed to the conditions she offered today, but she couldn't show her jade pendant, would the British duchess think she was deliberately playing tricks on them? !
Just thinking about it, Mrs. Gu Tai felt a tightness in her chest, as if she was stuffed with something, and held her breath.
But she had no other choice now, so she could only coax Gu Yanfei nicely.
Over the years, Mrs. Gu Tai has become accustomed to the days of being the master of the Gu family. This feeling of being out of control made her very uncomfortable and her face darkened.
"Return to Cihetang."
She spit out four words coldly, and was carried back to Cihetang while sitting on her shoulders, silent and restless all the way.
That night, Mrs. Gu Tai tossed and turned on the bed, almost awake all night.
For the next three days, she was in a bad mood. She kept sending people to pay attention to Gu Yanfei's side.
Looking eagerly at Gu Yanfei spent a day tidying up all the things in the West Warehouse, and built a small kitchen in Yuheng Garden. What's more, he went directly outside to find someone to repair it in Yuheng Garden. Fan, built a small gate in the backyard, which led directly to the racecourse in the northeast of Hou's mansion.
The patience of Mrs. Gu Tai, who was challenged by various behaviors, made her intolerable, but she could only endure it any longer.
The people in this Hou's mansion are used to watching the wind. Seeing that Gu Yanfei is acting flamboyantly now, they only think that she is now favored by Mrs. Gu Tai, so they also start to flatter, and even the meals sent to Yuheng Garden are much more abundant.
Mrs. Gu Tai had no intention of taking care of the chores, thinking about the jade pendant every day, but she had no idea how to start... Until the tenth day of November, a woman came to report: "Mrs. Tai, the British lady-in-law is here!"
Mrs. Gu Tai couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't expect that the British lady-in-law would visit without telling her.
Mrs. Gu Tai didn't have time to think about it, and instructed Mammy Li, "Go and greet yourself."
Mama Li hurriedly agreed.
As a result, Li Ma hurried away and returned in a hurry, panting and said, "Madam, the British lady-in-law brought a matchmaker... She said she came to make a small order for the third girl."
What? ! Mrs. Gu Tai shook her hand, and the string of beads in her hand almost slipped.
She originally thought that the British lady-in-law came for the jade pendant, but who would have thought that she would come here!
Mrs. Gu Tai tightly clenched the string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and the air in her heart was almost condensed into a ball.
Obviously, the British government is trying to make things bigger!
I'm afraid it won't be good this time.
As Mrs. Gu Tai was worried, the British government was in a big battle this time, and the matchmaker hired was Mrs. Yongnian Bo Shizi. Not only that, they came here today, beating gongs and drums, carrying a dozen boxes of small ceremonies, and again. Throwing money along the road, the people in the capital came to the gate of the Hou's mansion, and surrounded the Hou's mansion with three floors inside and three floors outside.
Because the British government was in a big battle, one passed ten, ten passed one hundred, one hundred thousand... Within half a day, almost the entire capital knew about it.
The whole capital is talking about it:
"Look at this battle, the British government attaches great importance to this marriage."
"When the convoy of the British government passed by, I ran to take a closer look. Each box of small gifts was heavy, and the pole was bent."
"I followed the British government all the way here today, and I picked up twenty copper coins, enough for me to drink a pot of good wine."
“…”
In the lobby of a restaurant, there were no empty seats and there was a lot of noise. The drinkers were drinking and gossiping at the same time.
These conversations below are also clearly transmitted to a lounge on the second floor.
King Kang Chuyou, who was sitting by the window, was burning with a majestic flame, and he was holding a white porcelain wine glass in his right hand, almost crushing the wine glass.
With a "click", the jug in his hand was knocked down by his elbow, and the liquor flowed out of the jug and poured onto the table.
The little maid dressed as a servant quickly stepped forward, neatly cleaned the table top, and put on a new jug.
In the elegant seat, the atmosphere was depressed, and needles could be heard.
Across from Chu You sat an elegant man of twenty-seven or eight years old. The man was dressed in an indigo straight robe and tied his hair with a silver crown. He had a calm and reserved temperament.
Yuan Zhe held the wine glass, his eyes flickered slightly, recalling the scene of the British government's motorcade passing through the street just now.
He took two sips of the wine, and then looked at Chu You's indignant expression, he suddenly understood something in his heart, and sighed faintly.
"Your Highness, is this 'Girl from the Gu family' the person you like?" Yuan Zhe asked directly.
The interests of their Yuan family and the interests of King Kang naturally stand together, so when facing King Kang, Yuan Zhe did not go around in circles and spoke out bluntly.
Chu You nodded silently, raised his head suddenly and drank the wine in the glass, his whole body was tense like a drawn bow, which seemed to break at any moment.
At this moment, his heart changed from initial anger to panic, as if something in his heart was about to be poached.
In case Gu and Fang really sign the marriage certificate in person today, will he still have a chance? !
It is conceivable that once the matter develops to this place, the queen mother will not agree to his marriage with the concubine! .
Chu You's eyes were surging, and he squeezed the empty wine glass in his hand even tighter.
However, Chu You restrained his inner impulse.
He has already gone to Gu's house to propose a kiss. Last time, Mrs. Gu Tai didn't agree to him. He knew that Mrs. Gu Tai valued and cared about Chang'er and didn't want her to marry casually. And he can't make any promises to the family...
This is not Gu family's fault, it's all just the Fang family's aggressiveness and his inability to convince the queen mother.
Chu You picked up the jug, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it again.
The cold drink dripped from the throat into the abdomen, burning in the stomach.
Chu You calmed down a little, cast his deep eyes to Yuan Zhe, and said slowly and firmly the decision he had considered for several days: "Cousin, I want Chu Yi to enter the court."
As soon as these words came out, even Yuan Zhe, who was always happy and angry, changed his face slightly, and raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Your Highness?"
Chu You pursed her thin lips, and her eyes became darker and deeper.
When the late emperor was alive, when he first proposed to abolish the prince Chu Qi, he was strongly opposed by half of the courtiers in the court hall on the grounds that "the prince should not be abolished without a reason" and "the eldest son system". The civil servant of the imperial examinations.
Because of the constraints of these poor officials, the late emperor did not hesitate to spend more than ten years in the establishment of the court, implementing the "nine-rank system of justice", and gradually strengthening the power of the family's clan in the court, just to accumulate power for him and wait for the opportunity.
The past emperor's ten years of hard work has not been in vain. Now, although Chu Qi has ascended the throne, he has not been able to sit firmly in this country. He was suppressed by those noble families in the court, so that he could not move an inch.
