A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 76 Hateful Gu Shizi! (two more)

On the way back, Xing Luo was still trapped in the resentment that his young lady tormented Gu Shizi.

Although that Gu Shizi seems to have a very good temper and doesn't care about it, but his identity is there after all, if he really makes some gossip or troubles, and alarms the empress, it may cause a catastrophe .

Xing Luo said these words back and forth, always preaching to Qi Huan.

Why doesn't Qi Huan know that this son's backer should not be messed with?However, several critical moments have been encountered...

It's not cheap, you bastard!
What's more, that person is rushing to help.

She knew that it wouldn't make sense to Xing Luo to use these "fallacies and heresies", so she poured a glass of water to moisten her throat, and at the same time turned on the big trick mode she was good at: "Yeah, it stands to reason that I am not familiar with him, and I have seen him before and after. In the two meetings, no matter how good-tempered he is, he shouldn't let it go and follow me to toss him like this. Eh? He didn't fall in love with me at first sight, did he?"

"Pfft..." Xing Luo almost choked to death with a sip of water.

In order not to spray Qi Huan, he hastily sprayed himself all over.

Xingluo was terrified, he quickly removed the handkerchief, and frantically wiped the wet carpet in the carriage.

While still in shock, he still had a bitter face and hurriedly persuaded his young lady: "You still have a marriage contract with the second son of the Qin family. Since the incident happened in the Ye family, now most of the capital probably knows about it, and Gu Shizi must also know about it."

It's not that she thinks there's anything wrong with her young lady, it's just that the marriages of big families all pay attention to being well-matched.

Said unceremoniously--

That Gu Shizi of Pingguo Duke's Mansion can now be regarded as the hottest No. [-] nobleman in the whole capital except for a few princes. Even the county kings in the palaces and princess mansions may not have his reputation.

His family status is far behind him.

especially--

There was another engagement with my young lady.

If Gu Shizi wants to discuss marriage, he must first go through the test of His Majesty and the Empress. For the sake of the royal family's face, it is impossible for the two of them to point him to a woman who has divorced once.

Even a little girl like myself can see this matter clearly, that Gu Shizi will jump into it deliberately when he sees it is a fire pit with no turning point?

Seeing her like this, Qi Huan laughed even more heartlessly: "My engagement will be terminated sooner or later, and... what if people don't care?"

"Miss..." Xing Luo was so sad that she wanted to cry.

She was really worried that her young lady would come up with unrealistic ideas when she was young and young, and she would suffer and get hurt at that time.

Therefore, the persuasion became even more earnest: "Pingguo's mansion, ranked first among the four lords, has always been known for its strict and upright family style, especially in recent years after Gu Shizi's sister-in-law was registered as a prostitute, the tide has increased. His family has raised a girl who can enter the palace as a queen, which shows that etiquette and rules are also very strict, otherwise the queen empress would not be able to completely shock the harem at a young age, and her work is even more impeccable, making courtiers look for it. It's not her fault. Gu Shizi was born into such a family... Even if he treats Miss..."

Some things, even in private, should not be said, after all, it is related to the reputation of my master's boudoir.

But now it's hateful--

That Gu Shizi, who knows that he is good wherever he is, does not shy away from going out, so who would not be tempted to be a good old man who attracts others like this?
This is really a disaster!

In the end, Xing Luo couldn't just watch his young lady jump into the fire pit and ignore it, so she tried her best to exceed the rules, and tried her best to pull her back: "My servant sees that he is a good tutor, well-trained, and willing to do good things... After all... After all I met Miss once, and I was afraid that you would not be able to get off the stage, so I helped you out."

She was racking her brains to persuade her with all the words she could think of: "He is very kind to you today, maybe he treats other girls like this at ordinary times? You must not be too careful. !"

While talking, he stared at Qi Huan's face with fiery and eager eyes, wanting to see her return from her lost way.

Qi Huan likes her sobriety in the world!

In this world, imperial power oppresses people, and high-ranking officials oppress people, which will also cause many people to be fascinated by luxury and money, and want to climb when they see high branches.

Just like Qi Wenheng's mother and daughter...

Even if their mother and daughter are not sober, as long as there is a sensible confidant around to help pour cold water and persuade them, they will not do stupid things that harm others and themselves.

Therefore, Qi Huan didn't think Xing Luo was talkative, but thought she was so cute.

Seeing that the other party hates iron and steel, she wished to beat her up, so she stopped teasing her, nodded kindly and said: "That's right, if he treats every little girl like this, I have to avoid it." He is far away. If anyone is unlucky enough to marry him, then the family will not have a group of wives and concubines of sisters and sisters fighting together in the ring."

Xing Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she retreated despite the difficulties.

but it is--

Did not dare to pick up.

Moreover, hearing Qi Huan comment on that Gu Shizi so casually, she was actually inexplicable, and she felt uncomfortable.

In all fairness, that Gu Shizi is really excellent, with a good family background, a good appearance, and a good personality.

Unfortunately……

My family is doomed to be unable to climb high.

Qi Huan withdrew, but Xing Luo felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment, thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her young lady.

But due to family background restrictions, this is also impossible.

So, she didn't dare to remind Qi Huan at all——

Regardless of the offshoots of the Pingguo Duke's Mansion, but his family inherited the title, counting up to four generations, from the founder of the country to Gu Shizi's father, there is only one main wife in the family, unless the main wife passed away and married a continuation, otherwise four generations. Lord Dai, no one takes concubines.

But I don't know if it's just because each of them has a good character, respects their first wife, and doesn't value the selfish desires of men and women, or whether the Pingguo government has such family training and family rules.

But it's okay if you don't want to think about it. Thinking about it makes me feel sorry for my young lady.

Obviously her family background is considered innocent, the young lady is good, she has outstanding looks, and she has a good personality, but she still doesn't deserve it!
It was just such an interruption, Qi Huan's ears were completely clean in the second half of the journey, but she didn't expect——

From the beginning to the end, she herself was just a joke, but she really made Xing Luo depressed.

It was already half an hour after the carriage returned to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as Lao Jing drove into the alley, Qi Huan suddenly thought of the lesson that the child ran to the gate to wait for her because she didn't bring Qi Yuanchen when she went out.

Fearing that the little thing could not think about it again on a whim, he hurriedly opened the curtains and looked towards the gate first.

Fortunately, Qi Yuanchen didn't make a fuss this time. I don't know if he was watched by Liu's mother, or because Yang was sick and he didn't care.

Qi Huan didn't have time to think about it, but when he looked, he saw a woman wandering outside his house seemingly uneasy.

Hearing the sound of the carriage turning into the alley here, she obviously panicked, hesitated for a moment at a loss, then hurriedly turned and walked towards the other side.

In this case, there is obviously a problem!

Qi Huan made a decisive decision and rushed to the guards following the car outside: "Catch up with that person over there and ask her what's the matter."

"Yes." The guard promised, and immediately rode to chase after him.

Although it is half an alley away, how fast can a little woman travel?
The guard quickly blocked her.

But the woman must have resisted, because she is a woman, but not from the manor, and the guards can't rush to pull her hands, so they just blocked her way, and the two stalemate.

Lao Jing also knew how to be flexible, and asked Qi Huan, "Do you want to drive the carriage directly?"

"No need." Qi Huan said, "You should just stop at the gate."

Lao Jing stopped the carriage in front of the Hou Mansion as promised.

Xing Luo was going to clean up the rouge and gouache piled on the table, Qi Huan stopped her for a while, led her out of the car, and then told Lao Jing: "Drive all the cars and horses in first, and wait for me in the courtyard for a while. , My things are still in the car."

Lao Jing and several other guards opened the side door, and drove the horses and chariots to the door first.

Qi Huan led Xing Luo straight to the woman.

The woman should not be very old, only about eighteen or nineteen.

Tall and slender, with red phoenix eyes and a high nose bridge, he is quite handsome, but his expression is dodging and shrinking.

Qi Huan glanced at her clothes and the lady's hair bun.

The guard was the first to report: "Miss, this woman looks sneaky, even if you ask her, she won't say anything."

Qi Huan noticed that when the guards called her "Miss", the woman who had been keeping her head down to avoid others suddenly glanced at her, but quickly avoided her sight again.

She had guessed, but she didn't show it on her face, she just asked the woman: "What were you doing wandering around in front of my house just now? Are you looking for someone?"

"No...no!" The woman denied it flatly, "I... just passed by."

But just because she denied it too hastily, it made people see that she was lying.

And the voice behind her was as thin as a mosquito because of lack of confidence.

Qi Huan then walked two steps in front of her, showing a kind smile: "Our family is the only one in this alley, you have been wandering in front of the door, how could you just pass by?"

She looks like this, after all, she is just a young girl who looks a little bit green, and she speaks softly and kindly, which does not create a sense of oppression at all.

The guard blocked her and refused to let her go. The woman looked at her, and then she spoke intermittently: "I... my husband and the two young masters in your house are classmates. I waited for half a night in front of the Gongyuan gate, but I only saw your second son, but not the eldest son. He...my husband ordered me to come over and ask, I don't know...I don't know why the eldest son missed the exam. "

She spoke intermittently, obviously making it up now.

and--

She said that her "husband" was acquainted with the two young masters of the Qi family, since they all saw Qi Yuanming going to the Gongyuan later, and wanted to know why Qi Yuanxu didn't go, why not just ask him face to face?

Since the lie was full of loopholes, Xing Luo couldn't control his expression, and frowned.

She also faintly understood in her heart——

The eldest lady joked before that one of the eldest son and the second son might have bought a face powder as a gift, and this one is probably the "friend".

and--

It still belongs to the eldest son!

But she didn't understand, since everyone has been sent to the door, shouldn't it be enough to just drag him into the mansion and confront the eldest son face to face?

Qi Huan was still very patient, and smiled more kindly: "Oh, my elder brother really didn't go to the Gongyuan to take the exam."

The woman seemed to be startled, she opened her mouth, and realized later that she didn't want to be too eager, so she eased her expression and said stiffly: "I don't know...why didn't the eldest son take the exam?"

Qi Huan answered every question: "He suddenly fell ill last night and fell ill."

The woman's complexion turned pale.

This time, without even caring about controlling his emotions, he hurriedly said, "Then he is seriously ill?"

After the words had been spoken, she realized that something was wrong, but she couldn't take it back. Her expression became more and more nervous and awkward, and she kept pulling her clothes with her head down.

Qi Huan seemed so innocent that she didn't notice her deliberation at all, and then he even said something to comfort him: "It's not a serious illness, but it's just a bad stomach. The elders in the family are worried, so they say that he is still young anyway, and it is important to take care of his body, and he will wait for the exam." It will be next time."

After the words fell, the expression on the woman's face obviously relaxed.

It stands to reason that she should have left as soon as this was said, but for some reason, she was still hesitating in place.

Qi Huan then said again: "Then do you want to go in to check on his illness? I can take you in."

The woman quickly raised her eyes to look at her, but then she shook her head with a stiff face: "No. No... I'm a woman, and... I don't know him, yes... my husband asked me to ask of."

At this time, she seemed to have finally regained her sanity, and gave Qi Huan a gift: "Excuse me, miss, I'm leaving first."

This time, Qi Huan didn't ask the guards to stop her.

The woman turned around in a panic and hurried out of the alley.

Qi Huan stared at her back, but smiled and said to the guard: "There was a misunderstanding, you should go too."

Although the guards she used were all trusted by the Yang family, she still wouldn't let these people get to the core of things that were too private.

The guard was very polite, so Ying Nuo went back first and led the horse into the gate of the mansion.

Qi Huan was still looking at the woman's back.

She asked Xing Luo: "Did you smell the fragrance powder on her body just now? The apricot fragrance is particularly obvious."

Apricot fragrance is used as the main ingredient, and other auxiliary fragrances are mixed in, which is exactly the smell of the box of incense powder that Xing Luo is carrying in his sleeve at the moment.

Xing Luo has been paying attention to Qi Huan's words and actions, but forgot to smell the woman's fragrance.

When Qi Huan mentioned it, she thought about it carefully, but she was not quite sure, and immediately took out the box of incense in her sleeve: "Is it this?"

Qi Huan snatched the powder, and seeing that the woman had turned out of the alley, she looked away and gave Xingluo a wink: "Go, follow her, don't let her find out, see where she lives. where."

Xing Luo suddenly understood why she didn't directly reveal the woman's identity just now.

If Mao hastily dragged people in, she and the eldest son would both deny their relationship with each other, and the old lady would defend it, so the matter might not be settled.

But if we know her whereabouts, the neighbors around can also pull it out as evidence, so that the stolen goods can be obtained at the same time.

"Your servant understands." Xing Luo immediately cheered up, picked up the hem of her skirt and ran out.

Here Qi Huan didn't continue to stay outside, turned around and entered the gate of the mansion alone, went to the carriage to pick up the big bag of rouge powder and went back to An Xuetang to see Mrs. Yang.

　Xing Luo: Gu Shizi is too hateful. He knows that he is good everywhere, but he still comes out to attract others to my lady!
　　Gu Shizi: So...it's my fault for being too good →_→
