The charming girl of the farm gate of crossing

Yuan Shi gritted her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do.

Seeing that the mother-in-law's gloomy face was about to drip, Mrs. He, the wife of the son, didn't dare to say what she wanted the children to get into the carriage first.

She looked at the crown prince Gu Yanli with her eyes, and saw him standing there with straight eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

He had no choice but to wait patiently.

Yuan shi twisted all his strength, standing in the air vent as if he was choked up, and Shizi was also as motionless as the wooden stake. The others just wanted to find a place to shelter from the wind, but they couldn't.

As a result, a group of nobles and ladies who were pampered and caring about food and clothing, as well as Gu Mingde's beautiful concubines, had to endure the biting cold wind and wait silently.

This waiting lasted for more than an hour, from the dark night until the sky was bright and the sun was rising.

"Here we come, the Duke is here."

Yuan Shi turned around abruptly, flames erupted from his eyes, wishing he could burn the approaching pink sedan to ashes.

Shizi and the others followed suit, not only curious but also full of inquiry.

"stop."

Four strong servants put down the sedan chair steadily, Luo Hua hurriedly stepped forward to lift the curtain, but Gu Mingde was one step ahead of her, lifted the curtain into the sedan chair, carried He Xiner out, and carried He Xiner directly into his carriage .

Everyone's eyes widened.

Yuan Shi was so angry that smoke rose from his head.

She was waiting for He Xiner to come to see her, but it turned out that he ignored her the whole time, completely ignoring her existence.

bitch!

Not only did he ignore her, but he even got into the Duke's carriage so grandiosely.

How dare she!
She has never even sat in the carriage of the Duke of the State, so why should this bitch pass her?
What qualifications does she have to sit with the Duke?
Yuan Shi was about to faint with anger. If she hadn't been afraid of Gu Mingde, she might have rushed to grab Hua He Xiner's face.

Speaking of which, Yuan Shi has not seen He Xiner so far. Although the general passed by in front of her eyes, Gu Mingde's striding speed was too fast, and he covered He Xiner tightly. Yuan Shi could only He saw the girl's pointed chin, but did not see her true face.

But she was inexplicably uneasy, and felt that this woman was not simple.

No matter how favored those women before were, they did not have the honor of riding in a carriage with Gu Mingde. He still pays more attention to rules, and he also attaches great importance to the concept of superiority and inferiority. He would never, especially in front of his children and grandchildren, Do something demeaning.

So today's move is really surprising.

The eldest son Gu Yanli was also deeply surprised, but as a son of man, he had no right to comment on his parents' affairs, so even if it was to avoid suspicion, he would not say anything more.

And others are even less qualified to challenge.

Everyone stared blankly at the luxurious carriage, each with their own thoughts.

In an eerie silence, Luo Hua subconsciously held her breath and stepped lightly.

She got to know Yuan's family's mistress at the suggestion of Zhu's, so she didn't dare to trust her, and after bowing to her respectfully, Fang quickly stepped into Gu Mingde's carriage.

Seeing this, Yuan became even angrier.

"set off!"

Gu Mingde didn't care what Yuan Shi thought, let alone what everyone else was thinking, after he settled down with He Xiner, he gave the order to set off.

The two hundred bodyguards immediately responded loudly, "Yes!"

The high-pitched and resonant voice made Yuan's scalp numb, and at the same time brought her back to her senses. If she stood still with breathlessness, she might be thrown off by Gu Mingde.

"Get in the car."

After Gu Mingde's carriage started slowly, the others also hurried into their own carriages, and followed the guards in an orderly manner and drove out of the city.

The Fuguo Duke's family moved, and the battle was not small, which attracted the whole city to watch. Local officials such as Zhifu and Zhizhou, as well as some local aristocratic families, got the news and immediately detoured to chase after them, preparing to fight outside the north city gate. Gu Mingde's farewell party.

They were expected to come in a hurry.

There were already a lot of pedestrians on the road at this time, and now there are many people who came to watch the excitement after hearing the news. Both sides of the main road were crowded with people, and the road was almost blocked. Going forward at a turtle speed, I don't know when I will be able to leave the city.

They walked around the west city gate faster than these people.

And the people in the Duke's Mansion must gather outside the city before setting off together, otherwise there will be chaos.

So it was time to say goodbye to Gu Mingde.

But Gu Mingde didn't give them a chance, the carriage left without stopping after leaving the city gate, regardless of the carriage behind.

However, he was worried that He Xiner couldn't bear the bumps and didn't walk fast. After the carriage left the city, he let go of his feet and chased after him, and it took him half a day to catch up.

The huge convoy of Fuguo Duke's Mansion stretched for more than ten miles, attracting attention wherever they went, causing local officials to come to see them every time they passed by a city.

Gu Mingde was never seen.

He didn't have time to deal with those people.

He spends all his time with Xin Er.

So everyone was surprised to find that Gu Mingde took the carriage all the way, and never rode alone once, and they didn't know how he held back.

You must know that this current god of war used to hate riding a carriage the most, so his behavior this time is really surprising.

How powerful is that woman, that she can change this person's temperament?

Everyone was very curious. Could it be that this woman was transformed by a vixen? Otherwise, how could she be so fascinated by the mighty and powerful Lord Fu Guogong.

I really want to see how beautiful she is.

It's a pity that they walked together for a whole month, and they didn't have the chance to see He Xiner's true face.

Because she stayed in the carriage all day and didn't show her face at all, every time she arrived at the inn to take a rest, she was hugged tightly by Gu Mingde and went into the upper room without even touching the ground with her feet. And then disappeared again.

Similarly, Gu Mingde got into the car with his arms when he set off the next day, and he didn't have any contact with other people at all.

The more this was the case, the more curious everyone was, but with Gu Mingde around, no matter how curious they were, they would not dare to be rash.

Living in a mansion in the future, she can't hide it like this all the time, and she's afraid she won't see it, so don't guess, it's no use thinking about it.

After guessing all the way and still not being able to see He Xiner's true face, everyone gradually let go of their curiosity. They are all the same person, with two eyes and one nose, how much difference can there be, no matter how beautiful they are, they are not fairies in the sky. What catches your eyes.

Besides, how can Israel serve people for a long time, don't look at her being favored now, she doesn't know what will happen in the future, which of the women in the West Courtyard is not beautiful, and which one has never been favored before, and now they are not the same as being rejected by the Duke. Being rubbed by the lady?
So it doesn't matter how good-looking she is.

A merchant woman is nothing more than a lowly concubine, so there is nothing to be concerned about.

Gu Mingde naturally dotes on He Xiner, his unprecedented doting is indeed abnormal, but he has always been a flirtatious person, and it's not like he hasn't done outrageous things to make beautiful women happy. Thinking about it this way, it's not a big deal.

Or maybe I have gotten used to it after watching it all the way, so I gradually become unimpressed, and I don’t feel strange, so I am not interested.

Just when their curiosity was finally smoothed out, He Xiner stood in front of them gracefully. .

So everyone who had been traveling together for a month finally saw He Xiner's true face.

Because he has arrived in the capital, Gu Mingde can no longer hold her in his arms to meet the old Hou Ye and Mrs. Fu.

Then everyone was amazed by the ice-cold girl with icy muscles and graceful posture, and at the same time, they finally understood why Gu Mingde spoiled her to the bone.

Yuan Shi stared at He Xiner's beautiful and bright face, sparks flew from his eyes, wishing he could tear her up with his own hands.

From the moment she saw He Xiner, she became mad with jealousy, but Gu Mingde wanted to marry He Xiner as his concubine, so she became even more jealous.

Listening to his words to the old waiter and the old lady Fu, if He Xiner is in better health, he will pick an auspicious day to add her name to the family tree, and then hold a big banquet to tell the world that the He family belongs to him, Gu Mingde. concubine.

Yuan Shi was so angry that her eyes turned black, almost dizzy.

Damn, is this going to make everyone in the world laugh at her?

No!

She will never allow it!
Gu Mingde's words were like a piece of ice thrown into a frying pan, and everyone was stunned. His son Gu Yanli's eyes widened in surprise, and the others were not much better. They were all shocked by his words. Su, I don't know how to describe the complicated mood.

Gu Mingde didn't care what they thought, he just wanted to adjust He Xiner's body as soon as possible so that he could marry her.

Yes, get married.

He wanted to hold a splendid wedding for He Xiner.

A wedding that was ten times more ostentatious than that brat Nangong Han.

Gu Mingde was full of anticipation, but the woman he was holding fell ill again.

Originally, He Xiner's body was almost ready, otherwise he would not have agreed to return to Beijing.

But after a month of bumps on the road, she was so tired again that she was listless and had no energy or appetite. She only ate some milk every day and didn't touch any other meals.

But in two or three days, people lose weight very quickly, and they become thinner and thinner, almost to the point that they will be blown away by a gust of wind. Under such circumstances, how can we hold a wedding? , I don't know if she can hold on.

Gu Mingde invited the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital in turn, but He Xiner still refused to eat, which made him very worried.

"Xin'er, be good, just have a bite, okay?"

This day, Gu Mingde rested and didn't have to go to the court or the barracks, so he didn't go out, and stayed with He Xiner all the time.

At this moment, he was holding a cup of bird's nest, coaxing her in a gentle voice, "This bird's nest was rewarded by the emperor, it's different from what you usually eat, try it..."

He Xiner shook her head to express that she didn't want to eat, so Gu Mingde had no choice but to put down the bowl in his hand.

The little beauty is really too delicate to be served.

"If you have anything you want to eat, just tell me, as long as there is something in this world, I can find it for you..."

"My lord."

He Xiner said suddenly, "I want to ask you one thing."

Gu Mingde cheered up, "Whatever you want, you can just say it, as long as it doesn't go to the sky, I can promise you."

He Xiner looked at him fixedly, "I'm afraid my illness will never recover..."

"Will not!……"

"My lord, listen to me."

"……you say."

Gu Mingde muffled, "Don't say anything unlucky, just say what you want."

"After I die, you can ask Luo Hua to send me back. I want to be by my parents' side."

Luo Hua, who was guarding outside, had tears streaming down her face, she covered her mouth tightly so she didn't cry out, but her heart ached.

Gu Mingde also felt very uncomfortable, "Xin'er, don't talk nonsense, you'll be fine, but you're just tired of traveling, just take care of it for a few more days..."

"It's not good."

He Xiner said calmly, "I know my own body."

Her eyes suddenly sharpened, and she met Gu Mingde's eyes straight, "Can the Duke promise me?"

Gu Mingde was a little angry, and it's not good to get angry with her. He was really afraid that if he made a louder voice, she would be blown away, "I still have something to do, so let's go first."

Throwing down a word hastily, Gu Mingde strode away.

"Miss, miss, do you really want to abandon the servant girl?"

Luo Hua came in crying and ran to He Xiner's feet, "My servant knows that you are suffering, but you can't... you can't!

Think about Miss Biao, Young Master Ye, Miss Ye, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Ye, Eldest Young Master, Fourth Young Master, are you really willing to make them sad? "

He Xiner felt a great pain in her heart, choked and remained silent.

Seeing this, Luo Hua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and tried to persuade her for a long while, and even urged her to use half a cup of bird's nest, until He Xiner shook her head before giving up.

"The servant girl heard that there is a piece of magnolia in the back garden. It is blooming just right now. She said it is very beautiful and smells good. Before I get close, I can smell a fragrance. It feels refreshing...

The servant girl has never seen a magnolia at this age, and I don't know what it's like to have so many trees blooming at the same time..."

"Then go and have a look."

Speaking of Magnolia, He Xiner thought of Guan Cuizhi, and felt a sense of loss in her heart. She was afraid that she would never see her again in this life. She only hoped that she would be well, find a good husband, and live a peaceful life.

He Xiner took the initiative to admire the flowers, and Luo Hua naturally wanted it, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her go out.

It is always boring to stay in the house like this, so it is better to go outside for a walk, get more sun exposure and your body will be stronger, and if you enjoy the flowers and grass, you may feel better.

The master and servant met a lot of people on the road, all of them were dressed as servants, He Xiner ignored them, Luo Hua's thoughts were all on her and took care of others flawlessly, so they didn't notice anything unusual.

After seeing the white magnolia like clouds and snow, He Xiner came to the lake, looking at the sparkling lake, reminiscing about the past.

How nice it would be to turn back time.

"Miss, it's windy, let's go back."

In mid-spring, it turns warm and cold. Although the sun is good, the temperature is low. Especially standing by the lake, the breeze blows across the lake and the damp water vapor makes it feel colder. Luohua is afraid that she will catch the cold, and that she will be tired, and her body is still weak. It's not good to go too long, so she suggested going back.

"I want to stay a little longer."

"But your body can't stand the cold wind..."

"It's okay."

He Xiner turned her head to look at Luo Hua and smiled slightly, "Why don't you trouble Miss Luo Hua to come and fetch my cloak?"

Luo Hua didn't feel at ease leaving her here alone, but seeing that she was in a good mood, she couldn't bear to disappoint her, "...The maidservant will go now, miss, wait a moment."

The current Guogong Mansion is expanded on the basis of the old Hou Mansion. It is more than twice as large as it was at the beginning and occupies an extremely large area. The female family members often use sedan chairs when traveling in the mansion. They are all delicate. Meat is expensive and can't bear it. If they don't use the sedan chair, their legs will be crippled at a slightly longer distance.

And if Gu Mingde knew that He Xiner would go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, he would definitely arrange a sedan chair for her. Even Luo Hua was going to ask Mrs. Zhu to arrange a soft sedan chair, but He Xiner refused. walked all the way.

It took two quarters of an hour.

Now Luohua has to go back to get things, and it will take at least two quarters of an hour to go back and forth.

But without the slow-moving He Xiner, her speed has been greatly improved.

Because she used to run.

The sound of pattering footsteps reached her ears, and the corners of He Xiner's lips twitched slightly. Although Luohua tried her best to behave calmly and solemnly, she still couldn't hide her lively spirit.

She is not that mature person, no matter how much she pretends to be.

Do you really think that wearing a set of dark-colored clothes can be stable, but in the eyes of others, she is just a child who steals an adult's clothes.

I don't know if it's because the surrounding environment is so beautiful, or because the fragrance of the magnolia is so pleasant, He Xiner is in a good mood, she puts down her troubles for a while, and quietly enjoys the beautiful scenery of the lake.

At this moment, a gust of wind rushed towards her from behind. She instinctively wanted to avoid it, but she was a step too slow to react. She had already fallen into the landscape lake.

The capital is located in the north, and the winter is extremely long. Although it is already March, the ice on the lake is about to melt, and the lake is still bitingly cold.

He Xiner's intuition felt the bone-piercing cold, and the cold lake water poured into her ears, nose, eyes, and mouth...

Unprepared, she was choked and instinctively wanted to surface as soon as possible, but there were too many clothes on her body, and they became very heavy after contacting the water, especially the cloak outside sucked enough The water queen was even more heavy, hanging on her body, like countless tentacles clung to her and then fell to the bottom of the lake...
