Rudonghai

Chapter 146
Although Mrs. Zhen Guohou was entrusted by Mrs. Xiao to take her to the Hou's mansion, she was more or less worried that Master Gu and Gu Yunyan would be unwilling to do something bad before she got married, and Ji Jiaqian and Ji Keran had to guard against tampering.

In the Hou Mansion, their hands couldn't be stretched that long, but they could protect her well.

However, Mrs. Zhen Guohou agreed, and Zhen Guohou might not be happy for her, a little girl from the Gu family, to marry from the Hou's mansion, so there is no need to embarrass Mrs. Zhen Guohou.

Seeing Gu Yunxiao's scruples, Mrs. Zhen Guohou smiled and said: "Don't worry, Zhen Guohou has agreed to this. The girl in the family is married far away, and without her around, she is much cleaner, which makes people not used to it. Now Marquis Zhen is so happy to have a girl like you to serve and respect her, why would he care about such a small matter? If it wasn’t for Lin’er you are going to marry, I would have taken you as my adopted daughter.”

It is rare for such a well-behaved, sensible, and clever girl, the more Mrs. Zhen Guohou looks at it, the happier she is.

Xiao Xilin had been single for so many years, she was very worried, and thought that she would have no face to meet her sister in the underworld.

Who knew that the twists and turns would turn around, he fell in love with the girl of the Gu family, and even went to the palace to ask the emperor to marry him?
The Gu family is not a wealthy family, and has nothing to do with the family.Although Mr. Gu married Ji Jiaqian, the married daughter is the water that was thrown out, and she doesn't have a deep relationship with An Guohou's mansion.

The daughter of a fourth-rank official, neither high nor low.Mr. Gu has no real power in his hands, let alone the suspicion of forming a party for personal gain.

Such a background is really just right, it is not too shabby, and it does not make the emperor jealous. Of course, he was happy to sell Xiao Xilin a favor, and ordered a marriage, which made this good deed come true.

It's a pity that Master Gu only had Gu Yunyan as his daughter in his eyes, and he never thought that Gu Yunxiao's marriage to Xiao Xilin would be a great help to the Xiao family.

Now she showed a reluctance expression, Mrs. Zhen Guohou sneered in her heart, since he didn't like this daughter, he might as well give it to herself.

Hearing Madam Zhen Guohou's words, Gu Yunxiao felt a little uneasy, especially when he was about to enter the Hou's mansion to meet Zhen Guohou later.

When she got out of the carriage and saw Xiao Xilin who was waiting in the front hall, she didn't know why her heart was fluttering just now, but suddenly calmed down.

"I have seen Master Taifu..."

"Okay, two people who are about to get married, why bother to be so polite and alienated?" Mrs. Zhen Guohou dragged Gu Yunxiao and didn't let her salute: "I hurried to Gu's mansion in a carriage early in the morning. It's like falling apart, so I have to go back and rest for a while. Seeing that Zhen Guohou is not in a hurry, Lin'er will help you to greet the third girl."

After finishing speaking, she took the maid and mother-in-law and left directly, leaving the two of them alone.

Gu Yunxiao was a little embarrassed, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Xiao Xilin took the initiative and said, "Miss San, why don't you go for a walk in the backyard?"

Hai Dongqing hovered over the heads of the two of them twice, and the familiar way landed on Gu Yunxiao's shoulder, and her little head leaned over. Seeing that she had no intention of feeding, she drooped in disappointment.

Gu Yunxiao was familiar with it, guessed it immediately, and couldn't help feeling annoyed: "There are still a lot of dried meat that I just bought in Xiangheyuan. Kui'er likes it, so it's a waste if I don't bring it now."

"It's a glutton. Feed less and let Kui'er hunt by himself. Otherwise, it will lose its wildness after eating too much fat." Xiao Xilin patted Hai Dongqing lightly. It shook its little head, as if dissatisfied with his words.

Gu Yunxiao was nervous at first, but was amused by Hai Dongqing's actions, and immediately relaxed: "If the grand master said so, Kui'er will not be happy."

She also thought of Liu Xu in the Xianghe Garden. She was hurriedly dragged out of Gu's mansion by Mrs. Zhen Guohou just now, and she didn't know what happened to the girl's injury.

Although there are wound medicines, but I am not in the Gu family, who knows if Gu Yunyan and Master Gu will embarrass Liu Xu?
Gu Yunxiao followed Xiao Xilin absent-mindedly, and wandered aimlessly around the backyard. Except for the sound of Hai Dongqing's wings flapping, the two of them were silent all the way.

In the end it was she who broke the silence, raised her head and asked softly, "Thanks to Mrs. Xiao, otherwise I would have married Lord Ji. I didn't expect that Lord Ji, who is handsome and comes from a prominent background, is narrow-minded and cruel and suspicious."

Ji Keran broke into Xianghe Garden, probably because he thought he couldn't get it, and didn't want others to get it completely, and planned to destroy her.

Just thinking about it, Gu Yunxiao felt lingering fear.

However, she also felt that Xiao Xilin was a good person, and in order to help herself, she would actually make such a bad move.

Not only secretly snatched the marriage letter and Geng Tie, but also asked the emperor to offer a marriage, so that the Gu family could not refuse, and Ji Keran could no longer bully herself blatantly.

Gu Yunxiao's words made Xiao Xilin raise her eyebrows, and said amusedly: "The third girl means that I sacrificed my marriage to help you?"

She blinked, didn't she?

Firstly, it helped me, and secondly, it could also help Xiao Xilin to block the peach blossoms, so that one or two ladies from great families would not jump on Xiao Xilin like moths and butterflies.

I heard that the Grand Tutor must be careful every time he goes out, so as not to be discovered, otherwise he will be overwhelmed by the fragrance if he throws hundreds of quick handkerchiefs.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunxiao couldn't help laughing.Being buried by countless handkerchiefs may be happiness to other men, but it is a great distress to Xiao Xilin.

This made him sneaky when going out. Who made the girls of Qing Kingdom so bold?
Xiao Xilin sighed softly, and said helplessly: "It takes a long time to see people's hearts, and it is useless to talk more."

The two of them walked to the lake and looked at the koi in a pool. Xiao Xilin said again: "I originally wanted to invite the third girl to the house directly, but my uncle and aunt were right. They lived together before they got married. Yes. The girl's reputation is a hindrance. It's only a month's work, but I ask the girl to be patient. Both my uncle and aunt have very good tempers, so you don't have to be too restrained."

Gu Yunxiao nodded lightly, making up her mind to stay in the yard this month, and not to wander around the Hou's mansion unless necessary.

The two walked for a while, seeing that Gu Yunxiao was wearing thin clothes and his face was a little pale, Xiao Xilin turned around and went to the front yard: "Auntie arranged a place for the girl, and I will let the servant girl take you there later. The breeze is cool, No more girls left."

He reached out and gathered Gu Yunxiao's cloak, wrapping it tighter.

This small gesture of intimacy made Gu Yunxiao blush, especially when Xiao Xilin's fingertips brushed her cheek inadvertently, and the touch lasted for a long time, making her even more uncomfortable.

Xiao Xilin beckoned a maid and asked her to lead Gu Yunxiao to the yard to rest: "My mansion is next door, but it's not easy to go to the Hou's mansion often. If you have anything to say, just ask Kui Er. "

He smiled slightly, and beckoned Hai Dongqing to fly back to his shoulders. Unfortunately, Kui Er was still angry about what happened just now, so he turned around and ignored Xiao Xilin.

Gu Yunxiao caressed Hai Dongqing amusedly, and said softly, "Let Kui'er stay here for one night, and pick him up tomorrow."

"Alright," Xiao Xilin said helplessly, but with Hai Dongqing guarding Gu Yunxiao, she could feel more at ease.

Although no one in Zhen Guohou's Mansion will neglect Gu Yunxiao, who knows if there will be any accidents?

He didn't dare to bet on this eventuality, and he said: "I will send two maids to serve you later, they know a little bit about fists and kicks, and they are better than ordinary maids."

Does this mean that catkins are useless, unable to protect themselves?
Thinking of the injured Liu Xu, Gu Yunxiao sighed: "Should I also learn two-handed self-defense so that I won't be in such a mess like today?"

"No, practicing martial arts is a hard job, and it can't be done overnight. Those two maids are pretty good. If you don't like it, just change to two more." Xiao Xilin didn't think so. It's in the Gu mansion, so it's not easy for him to get in.

Now at his family's place, it is not difficult for him to send two people off.

Xiao Xilin grabbed Gu Yunxiao's little hand again, and smiled slightly: "If you practice martial arts, the girl's hands will be full of calluses and wounds, which is really distressing."

But after a light pinch, he let go quickly. Gu Yunxiao still felt his cheeks were hot, especially when a maid was still watching.

Seeing that her face was blushing, Xiao Xilin stopped teasing Gu Yunxiao, and quickly turned and left.

The servant girl led Gu Yunxiao inside. She looked up and saw the three characters "Xiangzhuyuan" written on the plaque.

The flamboyant handwriting was something I had seen before, and it was Xiao Xilin's handwriting.

After Mrs. Zhen Guohou cleaned up, she came over with her maid's hand, and said with a smile: "I specially asked Lin'er to write this. In Qing Kingdom, only Zhen Guohou's mansion can be so extravagant, making Xiao Zhuangyuan gone."

She pulled Gu Yunxiao in, pointed to the surroundings and said: "Originally, this is a large piece of Xiangzhu, which is quiet and elegant, and the summer is very cool. It would be nice to come here to make tea occasionally. I just want to pick up the third girl. It’s too cold to live in a bamboo garden, and it’s not good for your body, so people will remove all the bamboos. Now it’s bare, and I don’t know what you like. Let the gardener send some flowers you like Let’s just decorate it.”

Gu Yunxiao's heart warmed, and he could see that Mrs. Zhen Guohou liked this yard very much.But for her, the bamboo was removed.

She took Madam Zhen Guohou's arm and said softly: "Thank you Madam, I am sorry for your trouble."

Mrs. Zhen Guohou smiled and said: "Where do I need to bother, Lin'er brought it up. Before I said anything, he directly handed over to Xiao Jiawei to chop up all the Xiangzhu. The Marquis was so angry that he called him over and reprimanded him." Fan, it is said that the arm is turned out, and the aunt is forgotten after having a daughter-in-law. This has not yet been completed, and when we get married and come home, don’t we have to repair the entire Xiao Mansion?”

After all, she couldn't help but shook her head again and said: "Don't say it, Lin'er really plans to redecorate Xiao's mansion. It's only a month, so how can she make a big move? At least I persuaded her to come down. After a few days When he comes again in the next day, the third girl will have to persuade him more."

I didn't expect Xiao Xilin to attach so much importance to her because she was going to marry her.

She hadn't tried the feeling of being valued by others for a long time, and she was a little dazed for a moment, but her heart was warm, as if there was a small heater, which was very hot.
