Chapter 137 Concubine (two more)
The steward who was accompanying hurriedly smiled and explained vaguely: "This is the cousin of the eldest lady's family who came to stay in the mansion temporarily. She has been having a fever and talking nonsense these days..."
"Cousin girl?" Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows, "Could it be a girl from the Zhao family in Bingzhou?"
Mrs. Murong was born in the Zhao family in Bingzhou.
"My cousin's surname is Liu." Murong Hui retorted without thinking.
"It's just like his surname." Gu Yanfei smiled slightly.
The other party's surname is Liu, he is related to the Murong family, and he comes from the southeast.
These conditions are enough for her to make a hexagram.
Gu Yanfei hid in his sleeve and casually pinched his right hand, pursing his lower lip thoughtfully.
The moth's eyebrows fell to Jiaofangsi, and it was time for the pipa to break.
Huh? This cousin surnamed Liu is from Jiaofang Division! ?
The music, maiko, and kaji of the Kyobo Division are mostly the wives and daughters of criminal officials and criminals. They are implicated in crimes.
Jiaofang Division is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and the name of each trick is recorded in the Ministry of Rites. If you want to secede from Jiaofangsi from Liangliang, you must pass the approval of the Ministry of Rites, and personal redemption is not allowed.
A gust of southeasterly wind blew, and several white plum trees swayed gently in the cold wind. The little snow-white petals fell like a goddess scattered flowers. Miss Liu rushed over from the plum forest with her skirt on.
Miss Liu rushed outside the pavilion in one breath, glanced between Gu Yunzhen and Gu Yanfei, and finally landed on Gu Yunzhen's face, bowed her knees solemnly, and said softly:
"Please also ask Miss Gu to stay with the slave family to serve, the slave family will never have two hearts!"
She spoke with confidence, her expression was firm and sincere, and she was a little pitiful.
Those watery eyes were clear and graceful, and they seemed to be able to speak. Thousands of words were condensed in them, as if the fate of her life was pinned on Gu Yunzhen's thoughts.
Gu Yanfei's gaze froze on this charming and colorful Liu girl, and her index finger lightly touched her chin.
Strange?
This watch girl looks a little familiar, she seems to have seen it somewhere.
Gu Yanfei pondered and turned to look at Gu Yunzhen beside him.
Gu Yunzhen looked at Miss Liu thoughtfully, her eyes dimmed a little, and her slender jade fingers clenched a handkerchief tightly.
The steward had an embarrassed look on her face, and hurriedly walked towards Miss Liu, lowering her voice to persuade: "Miss Biao, don't make it difficult for slaves."
Murong Yong's face had cooled down, and an icy color gradually appeared in the sharp eyes of Miss Liu.
"Take it." Murong Yong ordered lightly, "Don't make trouble."
When he said the last two words, his voice was like ice, and his thin lips were tightly pressed into a straight line.
Murong Yong's "Don't make trouble" sounded like a bolt of lightning flashing through Gu Yanfei's heart, and her heart lit up.
is her!
Gu Yanfei still stared at Miss Liu for a moment, her eyes widened slightly, and she finally remembered.
She did see this Liu girl.
was in a previous life.
I remember that Gu Yunzhen had just been married for a month, probably in September of the following year, and he had visited Murong's house to visit her.
At that time, I was outside the house and heard a little noise inside, and then Murong Yong gave a lukewarm rebuke: "Take it down, don't make trouble!"
Following, Gu Yanfei saw a beautiful woman being brought out by two wives. The woman dressed as a woman. In her memory, the dress and temperament of that young woman were different from other maids and daughters-in-law.
That's right, that young woman is the cousin of the Liu family in front of you!
At that time, Gu Yanfei didn't know who the other party was. In that life, she was too withdrawn and too cowardly. Although she had some speculations in her heart, she didn't dare to ask Gu Yunzhen.
"Cousin?" Gu Yanfei said with a half-smile, "...or a concubine?"
In the past life, what Gu Yanfei couldn't understand was clearly revealed at this moment.
Gu Yunzhen's expression changed slightly when he heard the words.
She knew very well in her heart that it was rare for a family like the Murong family to have a concubine. Concubine's choice...
Thinking of this, the last faint light in Gu Yunzhen's eyes dimmed, and finally disappeared completely.
The eyes are calm, the eyes are like water, and the heart is like a lake.
Gu Yunzhen stroked the forbidden step on his waist with one hand, got up gracefully, and walked towards Miss Liu who was pushing with the steward outside the pavilion, saying:
"Let go of her."
This sentence was said to the steward, "she" refers to Miss Liu.
The steward's grandmother's eyes showed hesitation, and she looked at Murong Yong subconsciously from the corner of her eyes.
Gu Yunzhen didn't care about this grandma's brows and eyes. He looked straight at the girl Liu who was an inch shorter than her, and asked calmly, "Who do you say you are?"
Miss Liu plopped down and knelt on the cold and hard ground below, a line of crystal clear tears fell from the end of her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings.
The tear-washed pupils were misty.
She sobbed and said, "The slave family is willing to be a slave and a maid, and serve the girl for the rest of her life, never mind!"
"Being a slave and a maid?" Gu Yunzhen's voice was as calm as a lake without wind and waves, "No need."
"I go out as a guest, and there's no reason to take someone else's cousin back to be a slave."
"Cousin girl, if she wants to sell herself, she can go to Jasmine."
Her tone was still gentle, with a graceful and gentle bearing, and there was a faint hint of alienation from above.
"That's not what the slave family meant." Miss Liu seemed to be slapped in the face again, and her face turned paler by three points.
Two more lines of clear tears fell from her eyes, and her eyes turned even redder. They were as delicate and delicate as white plums flying in the air, and they could only be beaten by the cold wind.
Murong Yong didn't say a word, no expression on his face, just looked at Gu Yunzhen and Miss Liu quietly.
Gu Yanfei didn't give the Murong family any face at all, and laughed out loud.
Murong Hui walked over and lifted up Miss Liu, who was kneeling, looking at her with pity in her eyes.
When his eyes met Gu Yunzhen, he was furious, and he raised his voice dissatisfied and rebuked: "Miss Gu, what nonsense are you talking about? When did my cousin say she was going to sell herself?"
"My cousin is begging so hard, but you don't have to, why are you still aggressively humiliating my cousin?!"
Miss Liu grabbed Murong Hui's sleeve, her cherry lips turned white from the bite, and her slender body was shaking like chaff.
Gu Yunzhen picked up a white plum that fell on the stone table, turned it around, and suggested lukewarmly, "Miss Murong is so kind, she should do what your cousin asks."
Her smile was still gentle and gentle, and her eyes became more and more distant, as if the two of them could not meet her eyes at all.
Being a slave and a maid, serving you all your life, never mind.
"Second brother..." Murong Hui's face suddenly flushed, and she looked at Murong Yong for help.
She...she...this Gu Yunzhen actually wanted her cousin to be her concubine!
There is no such thing, it really is so unreasonable! !
Murong Hui's mouth opened and closed, no matter how savage she was, she was still unmarried after all, and some words really couldn't be said.
Miss Liu also looked at Murong Yong with clear eyes, her eyes were full of hope and tenderness.
"Enough." Murong Yong finally said.
I don't even know who the words were meant for.
He waved at the steward, indicating to take the person down.
The steward immediately understood, and summoned the two women with big arms and round waists. The two women whispered "offended", and they quickly restrained Miss Liu.
"Yong Lang..." Miss Liu called out to Murong Yong with tears in her eyes, full of pain, and those talking eyes seemed to say, "Yong Lang, why are you so heartless."
However, she didn't have a chance to say what she said later, and the old woman quickly covered her mouth and pulled the person away almost rudely.
The whole process was the blink of an eye, and the outside of the pavilion became empty. Only Murong Hui stomped her feet unwillingly and unhappily.
In the pavilion, it was quiet for a moment, until the man's laughter cut through the air.
"Miss Gu," Murong Yong smiled, his eyes fell on Gu Yunzhen's face, and said sternly, "It's just a cousin, not a concubine."
His tone was very solemn, as if he was promising something.
"You don't need to tell me this, young master." Gu Yunzhen showed a gentle smile in a generous and generous way, and the smile was not as wide as his eyes.
"However, as long as I don't get married for a day, I'm still a spoiled guest in your house."
"Let the Biao girl talk nonsense in front of the guests, and the family style of your house can be seen."
"It's hard to agree."
Gu Yunzhen didn't give Murong Yong a chance to speak at all, and turned to call Gu Yanfei: "Yan Fei, let's go."
She waved her hand and flicked her sleeves, and by the way, she dropped the white plum, and walked away without looking back.
Gu Yanfei followed silently, the corners of his lips curved.
The white plum that Gu Yunzhen had casually dropped fluttered like a feather and fell down, just by being blown by the wind to the position where Miss Liu was kneeling before.
Murong Yong did not force the two of them to stay, but made another gesture, and two little maids left with Gu Yunzhen and Gu Yanfei.
He looked at the backs of the two sisters as they walked away from the distance. He didn't speak for a long time, his eyes were dark and incomprehensible, as if he was weighing and thinking about something.
The frigid wind blew strongly and forcefully, and it blew layers of ripples on the icy lake surface, disturbing the lake water.
"Second brother, look at her..." Murong Hui stood up abruptly from the chair, her anger stuck in her chest, and she couldn't help stamping her feet several times.
Murong Yong only squinted at Murong Hui, Murong Hui was as dumb as a mute.
Murong Yong's eyes turned cold, like a cold swamp, and asked in a cool tone, "Who let people out?"
The steward replied: "I don't know what the servants do... Second Young Master, the servants will order someone to investigate..."
She also knew that a guest from Gu Jiajiao came to the house today, and she dared to let the watch girl come out, and she didn't know what went wrong.
"You should be punished." Murong Yong spat out four more words, lightly.
The steward's mother only complied with her promise, and keenly understood the meaning of the master's words.
If you can't find out, then the person who receives the punishment will become yourself!
The steward's mother just stepped back, and just went to follow a little girl who left behind Gu Yanfei and the others, hurried over.
"Second Young Master," the little maid replied breathlessly, not daring to look directly into Murong Yong's sharp eyes, "Miss Gu and Er Miss Gu went to the Yimen..."
Her trembling tail disappeared into the cold wind.
Before Murong Yong spoke, Murong Hui's sharp voice had already blurted out, almost toppling the roof of the pavilion: "What?! This girl from the Gu family is really out of order."
Murong Hui's face became even more ugly.
Gu Yunzhen's move is equivalent to slapping their Murong family without mercy!
