Rudonghai

Chapter 237
The Xiao Mansion is like this, and the Zhen Guo Hou Mansion has also strengthened its vigilance. It must not let the Shi family's personal guards sent by the second wife and people from the Jianghu approach easily like before, which will almost cause a catastrophe.

Fortunately, the emperor sent the Imperial Forest Army to get rid of the thieves, otherwise Mrs. Zhen Guohou would have to be frightened again.

Zhen Guohou was annoyed, he was very confident in the defense of the Hou's mansion, and he thought that those Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't have the guts to dare to attack the Hou's mansion, so there was a guard patrol in the mansion, and he didn't pay much attention to the servants in the backyard.

This time someone almost tampered with the backyard, how could Zhen Guohou not be annoyed?

It's just that he was also concerned, and he didn't dare to think that no one dared to set foot in the Hou's mansion, so he beat the guard yard again, making sure to guard the inside and outside of the mansion like an iron bucket.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou was restrained in the courtyard. The royal family's wedding would take three full days. First of all, they would parade in the streets and let the people admire.Then go to Huguo Temple to get the blessing of the host, listen to the host's chanting, and take a bath.

As soon as the sun rises the next day, you have to be worshiped and congratulated by all the officials on the altar, and then offer incense and worship to the ancestors in the royal ancestral hall, listen to the family rules, and abide by the ancestors' precepts.

On the third day, the royal family was congratulating all the officials. Zhen Guohou couldn't bear it after staying for a whole day, so he insisted on torturing Zhen Guohou. In the end, he had to compromise and let her come to Xiao's mansion to have a chat with Gu Yunxiao.

She said angrily: "Master Hou is trying his best this time. There are four servant girls in the yard, two women, four women outside the yard, and eight guards. Approaching, the cook was directly invited to the small kitchen, and there were two nuns and two maids taking turns watching. Even when I was eating, I was also served by a woman and a maid. Before that, I had to have a servant to try it out. Move your chopsticks."

Such a tight grip made Mrs. Zhen Guohou a little out of breath.She is used to being at ease, where has she seen such a formation?

To put it an exaggeration, the royal family is just like this, and I don't know what Zhen Guohou thinks.

Gu Yunxiao was raised so that his complexion was rosy, and he had a little more flesh. He heard it funny and said: "Uncle is scared. He is most worried about his aunt, so naturally he has to be more careful. Just forget it once, Xiaoxiao How dare you think of a second round, if the emperor hadn't noticed it a long time ago..."

If Zhen Guohou's wife is injured or suffers again, Zhen Guohou may not forgive him for his self-willedness.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou also understood that her husband was shocked by the repeated incidents, and sighed: "The Ji family is completely gone. Miss Ji heard that she left Beijing with a foreign businessman, and she looked heartless. Probably won't be coming back."

Ji Qingrou was relieved, knowing that the second wife was dead, she left with a foreign businessman she hooked up with recently.

This foreign businessman was a bit older, but his first wife had died of illness a few years earlier, and he had no children under his knees. It was most suitable for Ji Qingrou who was young but not very well-known.

As a man, just look fresh and beautiful, and raise a young and charming wife, and feel that she has a good face.

"It's just that your uncle made some inquiries, but this foreign businessman is a new face, and the merchants who often come and go nearby have never seen him. I must be a novice in business. It's the first time I come to Beijing to try my luck and do business. Want a noble girl with a good background but poor background to go back?"

It was a huge advantage, no wonder the business was not done much, but Ji Qingrou was taken away in a hurry.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou thought that Shi Yan was being taken for a ride. She had no one to win, and in the end she was tricked by Ji Qingrou and the two wives together, and she lost her own soldiers.

Knowing that Ji Qingrou left after patting her butt, Shi Yan was afraid that she would vomit blood with anger.

Gu Yunxiao kept an eye out and asked Qiuhong to find out who this foreign businessman was.

The Xiao family has shops all over the place, so they are naturally the places to go to inquire about news.There were people guarding everywhere along the road, ordering them layer by layer. Unexpectedly, it took more than half a month before Qiu Hong sent the news, gloating and saying: "Madam, this foreign businessman is not a good person. The shopkeeper below asked for a long time and found nothing. What can I ask, only to find out that this person is not in business at all when I look back, no wonder I haven't been able to find out anything for a long time."

"He used to be a scholar, and his family was in trouble, so he had to marry the daughter of a tofu seller. The tofu seller loved his daughter very much, and used his savings for many years to continue studying hard for his son-in-law. If you do more work, you can do it anyway. A little sesame official, no matter how bad he is as a master, he is always an outstanding one."

Qiu Hong shook her head, and said disdainfully: "At first, this man pretended to read with a book. He usually dressed up like a romantic talent, and he seduced the hearts of many girls. In the end, his wife found out and made a fuss. He said that he would send back the family's money and would not help him. The man was in a hurry. He didn't know where to find the harmful medicine powder. It soaked in the tea little by little, causing his wife to gradually become weak. It took about two months He died of illness. He also had the cheek to borrow a large sum of money from his father-in-law, saying that he wanted to leave this sad place, and went straight to Beijing to do business. In fact, he thought that Beijing was full of gold. This woman is so beautiful. Said that his family background is even better."

Gu Yunxiao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Ji Qingrou to pick and choose, but finally followed a liar?
Qiuhong has no sympathy for Ji Qingrou at all. At least the second wife can treat her well. She eats and wears well. She won't let Ji Qingrou be enslaved. She is still a commoner. She will do her best to protect her own family.

But what the second lady said, Ji Qingrou left immediately, not even willing to give the last elder a ride, let alone pay for the coffin, help calm down, and choose a place with good geomantic omen.

On the contrary, the sisters in the Red Mansion, Tianya are also degenerates, and each of them pooled money to buy a thin coffin for the second lady, so that she could be buried in peace.

For such an ungrateful person, Ji Qingrou deserved to be so fascinated by a liar's rhetoric, she followed her away without saying a word.

Leaving Beijing, without any acquaintances, no one knows her identity.I guess I haven't settled down somewhere yet. I don't know which remote village I was cheated out of by this man and imprisoned. Don't let Ji Qingrou run around and trap such a beautiful girl to enjoy slowly. You don't need to be known by your father-in-law and your mother-in-law, so you can keep your reputation.

This man's calculations are sound, because Ji Qingrou has no natal family to rely on, and if he disappears in the future, there will be no one to look for him, so he can be unscrupulous.

Gu Yunxiao sighed, and didn't know how to say that Ji Qingrou was too naive, and followed a man casually without inquiring clearly.It should be said that Ji Qingrou was worried about being implicated by the second wife, so she couldn't wait to leave Beijing. After finally catching a handsome man who seemed to have some background, she refused to let go, for fear that if she missed this village, there would be no such shop.

Gu Yunxiao quickly put this matter behind her. Everyone has their own choice, but Ji Qingrou is unlucky and doesn't know people well, so she met a ruthless liar.

Ji Qingrou is not stupid. After finding out that something is wrong, she might be vigilant immediately, and she might be able to escape.

At the royal wedding banquet, she didn't go to the palace because she was unwell, and Xiao Xilin just sat down and came back to accompany her soon.

On the contrary, Gu Yunxiao couldn't help being surprised when he heard that several wives sent posts to Xiao's residence.She looked around, but she had never seen a lady before, so she had to ask Mrs. Zhen Guohou for help.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou looked at the names of several people, but she was also at a loss: "Maybe I didn't see you during the palace banquet, so I came to the door to get closer. These ladies are very talkative, and there is nothing wrong with cheering you up." good."

Hearing this, Gu Yunxiao nodded, thinking about the conversation between the wives, and sometimes passing the words on behalf of the husband.After all, there are some things that are not easy to talk about on the stage, and it is common for them to communicate in private and test their tone.

Qiuhong started to make arrangements, asked the cook to prepare a sumptuous tea, and took out Gu Yunxiao's favorite Biluochun tea, and invited the female tea master to come over to show his wife.

Knowing that Gu Yunxiao was afraid of making noise, the theater troupe didn't call them to the mansion. They just spread thick cushions and hung thin gauze curtains in the flowery pavilion in the backyard, so that they could see the outside clearly, but they wouldn't be disturbed. The wind blows.

Everything was ready, the next day the wife came to the door with her daughter, she couldn't help praising: "It's still a bit cool in early spring, this gauze tent looks like cloud gauze, the most frivolous and rare, I didn't expect it to be useful for this."

They were surprised in their hearts, Yunsha is so rare, it is rare to have such one or two horses.Occasionally, when you go to the palace to see the imperial concubine, you can have a chance to catch a glimpse of the dress made of cloud gauze. Layers of layers are like white clouds in the sky, making people's skin white and delicate.

Who would have thought that Xiao's mansion was so generous that it was extravagantly used as a tent and hung on the pavilion to keep out the wind just to prevent the frail Gu Yunxiao from blowing the wind?
Madam clicked her tongue inwardly, and couldn't help tightening her daughter's hand, but it was hard to say what she was going to say.

The three wives brought three daughters, all of them were charming and charming, all of them had just grown up, they were as tender as green onions, their brows were innocent and charming intertwined, and their gestures had the embryonic form of a lady.

They bowed to Gu Yunxiao in a coquettish voice, and their cheeks blushed before they even opened their mouths.

Gu Yunxiao originally didn't know what these wives were doing here, but it would be foolish not to understand now.

She didn't expose Madam's intentions, and raised her hand to signal: "There is no need to be formal, everyone get up."

One of the girls stared at Yunsha from time to time, as if she really wanted to reach out to touch it, but she was a little timid, so she only dared to look more to satisfy her greed.

Gu Yunxiao was amused, and said with a smile: "If you want to go and have a look, just go."

The girl glanced at her mother and saw her nod her head slightly, so she happily ran over to touch two gauze curtains.

Her mother said with a wry smile: "The little girl is naughty, Madam Xiao laughed at her."

"Where, this age is the time when you are curious about everything. It's just a gauze curtain. It's okay to look at it. You don't need to be restrained." The other two girls sat obediently beside their mother, not daring to raise their heads or move around. He didn't dare to touch the tea in front of him casually, apparently he had been told before coming here that he must not be rude in the Xiao Mansion.
