Chapter 176: 175

At noon the next day, the Duke of Rongguo visited a distinguished guest, and Jing Chao said his speech.

Gu Zhian was having lunch, when he heard the message from Butler Xu, he hastily put down his chopsticks and got up to greet him.

Aunt Liu and Gu Qingmo's mother and daughter were eating at the same table, and the two of them stopped eating, so the servants quickly removed the food from the table.

At the gate of the mansion, Gu Zhi'an bowed and bowed: "I don't know that His Royal Highness King Rui came to the mansion, and the old minister was far away to welcome him."

Jing Chaoci cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, you are welcome."

"His Royal Highness, please." Gu Zhian stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, and invited Jing Chaoci to the lobby.

Outside the lobby, Gu Qingyun and Aunt Liu were waiting here. When they saw Jing Chaoci approaching, they bowed and saluted: "The Liu family of my family has seen His Royal Highness Rui Wang."

"The little girl Qingmo has met His Royal Highness King Rui."

Jing Chaoci glanced at Aunt Liu, raised his eyebrows, and asked Gu Zhian: "Why don't you see the eldest lady in the house?"

Gu Zhian sneered: "My wife was ill a few days ago and was recuperating in the yard. Now Aunt Liu and Aunt Jiang are in charge of everything."

Aunt Jiang didn't show up today, probably because Gu Qingyun was angry for not attending the flower banquet.

Aunt Liu said with a smile: "My sister is sick, and the servants and sister-in-law are in charge of the affairs of the house these few days. If you neglect the prince, please forgive me."

Some time ago, she experienced the pain of bereavement, and after a period of rest, Aunt Liu's spirit has improved a lot recently, and now that she is holding the gift, her face is even more radiant.

Now the mistress's posture is more and more perfect, and no one can find fault in her words and deeds.

Jing Chaoci was invited into the lobby, and just as he sat down, housekeeper Xu came outside to report again: "Master, Concubine Rou is here."

Gu Zhi'an subconsciously looked at Jing Chaoci, feeling puzzled, as King Rui just arrived on the front foot, Rou'er on the back foot followed.

Gu Zhi'an rolled his old eyes, and with a foxy heart, he vaguely guessed that the matter was not simple, and he said: "Please come over quickly, Concubine Rou."

After a while, Gu Zhirou walked over with the help of a maid.

Aunt Liu saluted with a smile: "My concubine greets Concubine Rou."

Then Gu Qingmo also followed Fuli: "Qingmo has met Sister Rou Concubine."

"Ah."

Gu Zhirou responded to Gu Qingmo coldly, without even looking at Aunt Liu, she sat on the chair by herself.

Aunt Liu secretly rolled her eyes, shook the brocade handkerchief, and sneered.

Several people sat down, Aunt Liu looked at Gu Qingmo who was stunned aside, and then at Jing Chaoci, her eyes were intriguing, she smiled and said: "Mo'er, hurry up and pour a cup of tea for King Rui."

Gu Zhirou's eyes turned cold, and she ordered the maid behind her: "Suyu, go and pour a cup of tea for His Highness King Rui."

"Yes." The maid took the order and rushed ahead of Gu Qingmo.

Gu Qingmo returned to her original place, her eyes were still faintly happy, it just so happened that she was too tired to pour tea for Jing Chaoci.

She didn't seem to understand what Aunt Liu wanted her to pour tea for Jing Chaoci, but Gu Zhirou understood that Aunt Liu wanted to push Gu Qingmo in front of Jing Chaoci.

Now that he holds the power in his hands, his greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, but he wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix.

Her own thoughts were seen through by Gu Zhirou, Aunt Liu gritted her teeth with a sullen face, she stared at Gu Zhirou secretly, annoyed, she didn't understand what she meant, if her Mo'er waited for the favor of His Royal Highness King Rui, would she be able to treat her well? what a bad.

She felt that it should be good for her.

Aunt Liu naturally didn't know why Gu Zhirou and Jing Chaoci came to the house today, and of course it was impossible for Gu Zhirou to tell her.

Just when Gu Zhian was secretly speculating about the reason why Jing Chaoci came to the mansion, Jing Chaoci went straight to the point: "My lord, this king is here to meet Miss San in your mansion."

Although Gu Zhian was surprised, he still hid it, and said with a smile without changing his face, "My lord, wait a moment, the old minister will send someone to find the third daughter."

Gu Qingmo interrupted suddenly: "Daddy, I'm going to find my third sister." Before Gu Zhian could speak, she ran out of the lobby.

Aunt Liu hated her for being indisputable, she had just asked her to pour a cup of tea for the prince, and she had never seen her so active, but she was very active running into that broken courtyard.

Gu Zhirou's face was secretive, and she said to Gu Zhi'an: "Father, this is not suitable for talking. It's better for us and His Highness King Rui to move to the study."

"it is good."

Gu Zhian responded and led them to the study.

At the door of the study, Gu Zhi'an and Jing Chaoci went in first, and Aunt Liu followed, but Gu Qingrou's arm was in front of her eyes, blocking her from entering the study.

Aunt Liu was annoyed, "Concubine Rou, what do you mean?"

Gu Zhirou said softly: "Aunt Liu is not qualified to listen to our conversation." The red lips curled into a hint of sarcasm, "What is my identity, please ask Aunt Liu to be a little self-aware."

"You..." Aunt Liu was annoyed, she is the person in power in the house now, there is something she can't know!

Ignoring her anger, Gu Zhirou sneered lightly, entered the study by herself, and then closed the door.

Aunt Liu stood outside the door, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, she was always very angry.

The three people in the study were seated, and Jing Chaoci directly stated his intention, "My lord, I came to see Miss San today because I intend to marry Miss San as my concubine."

Gu Zhian was startled, the hand holding the teacup shook, and the hot tea splashed onto the back of his hand, he hurriedly put down the teacup in pain, and asked in disbelief, "Could the lord be joking?"

His three daughters, with broken bodies, how lucky are they to become Princess Rui?
Gu Zhirou said softly: "His Royal Highness Rui is a prince who speaks a lot of words, how could he be joking with his father, I am afraid that his father is joking with the prince."

After she finished speaking, Gu Zhian fully understood that Jing Chaoci was not joking, but serious.

He wondered: "The old minister dares to ask, why does the prince want to marry the third daughter as a concubine?"

The corners of Jing Chaoci's eyes were shining brightly, and he smiled half-smile: "My lord, do the math, which girl in the entire imperial capital is more valuable than Miss San?"

what value?Use value?
Gu Zhian frowned, and asked without shame: "Forgive me for being dull, what does the prince mean?"

Jing Chaoci raised one corner of his lips, tapped his fingertips on the desk next to him twice, and answered two words: "Nanjia."

Gu Zhian was stunned, his head was filled with light.

I didn't expect that one day, his third daughter would become the object of competition for nobles. He just terminated the contract with the Marquis of Yuanzhang, and now, another royal prince will come.
this compartment.

When Gu Qingmo arrived at Shengjin Courtyard, the first thing she saw was the man under the tree with closed eyes and resting his mind. She slowed down her steps and looked at Si Ye with bewildered eyes.

At this time, Fudong walked out of the house with the rice bowl he had just finished eating, and saw Gu Qingmo walking slowly in the yard, her attention was all on Si Ye, and she didn't see Fudong.

Fudong saw that she was looking in one direction all the time, as if obsessed, she also followed her eyes to look, there was only one tree, but nothing else.

She wondered: "What is Miss Seven looking at?"
