Chapter 142 choked
Three days later, the prince brought everyone back to Beijing.
As soon as the sky was dawn, one carriage after another left Taiyuan Prefecture and stepped straight onto the official road.
Gu Mingzhu fiddled with the Jiulian in her hand. Before leaving, Cui Zhen sent a lot of toys, from the wood carved duck to the Luban lock, everything was piled in a sandalwood box. Cui Zhen now treats her like a brother, with concern from the bottom of her heart. Gu Mingzhu shook the Jiulian so hard that it was "ding" sound. Unexpectedly, after changing her identities, she and Cui Zhen would have such an intersection.
Cui Zhen also swept away the grief and depressedness on his body and turned back to his former calmness and self-control. Seeing that Dingning Hou was still calm and calm, the elders of the Cui clan felt much more relieved. They took their children and sent Cui Zhen and others three miles outside the city before stopping.
Mrs. Cui Si and Mrs. Cui Si followed along. Because Mrs. Cui Si was involved in the Iron Mountain Stone case, Mrs. Cui Si had to deal with various affairs of the female family along the way. In addition, with the Gu family's people, this team of chariots and horses alone looked huge, not to mention that the carriages and prisoners were followed by the yamen and prisoners.
The prince naturally walked in front, and the guards of the East Palace rode majesticly to check the surrounding situation. Ordinary passers-by avoided such a formation, fearing that they would cause any trouble.
The carriage was halfway down, and one carriage after another was parked next to the teahouse next to Guan Road. There were a group of people standing in a row, looking very lively.
As soon as Mrs. Lin and Gu Mingzhu came out of the clean room, Cui Zhen asked someone to send the hot water for burnt.
Cui Zhen said: "This water was brought out from Taiyuan Mansion. My aunt is a double-body person. Don't use the water along the way to avoid feeling uncomfortable."
Cui Zhen’s care for his mother made Gu Mingzhu thank him from the bottom of her heart. She raised her head and smiled at Cui Zhen, then took a clean towel from Baotong and handed it to Cui Zhen.
Cui Zhen took the scarf and wiped his face and handed it back to the mother-in-law, then looked at Gu Mingzhu and said, "Are Zhuzhu tired? Is he going to the inn in another two hours."
Gu Mingzhu nodded, then grabbed Mrs. Lin's arm, and Mrs. Lin reached out to tidy Zhuzhu's sideburns.
Cui Zhen's eyes fell on the nine serials in Gu Mingzhu's hand: "Is it untied?"
Gu Mingzhu shook her head, but her face was still full of smiles. Because of her identity as a silly girl, she would only disrupt the nine series rather than untie it.
Cui Zhen looked carefully and looked curious. Gu Mingzhu handed the nine-serial chain in her hand to Cui Zhen. Has Cui Zhen never played this kind of little thing?
Not far away, Chujiu chewed the stone cake in his hand and drank the water in his water bag. They did not have the female family members who accompanied them. Moreover, the third master went out lightly and traveled lightly every time, so they were like marching, taking the simplest food, and ate randomly when they were hungry. Even if they arrived at the inn, they had to run around and didn't bother to sit there and eat a bowl of rice. He had long been used to these things. When he left Taiyuan Mansion, he bought many stone cakes. The stone cakes tasted much better than the Hu cakes he often ate, but now Chujiu suddenly felt that the stone cakes in his hand were no longer fragrant.
Because he saw Bao Tong, who was not far away, was stuffing a small piece of snack into his mouth. The Gu family's guards seemed to be meat pies in their hands. The aroma of the meat pies came with the wind. Chu Jiu couldn't help swallowing the saliva that came up. If he went to the Gu family to ask for a meat pie, I wonder if the Gu family would give it to him. Bao Tong looked very easy to talk.
Chujiu licked his lips and turned to see the third master. The third master was eating the stone cake and looking at the map in his hand. His expression was cold, and those lively things had nothing to do with him.
"San Master," Chujiu leaned over, "Cui Zhen bought a lot of things and sent them to the Gu family, all of which were toys to coax children."
Wei Yuanchen had a calm face as if he had not heard Chu Jiu's words.
"The relationship between the Cui family and the Gu family seems to be better than before." Chu Jiu continued.
Wei Yuanchen rolled the map and put it back into the leather bag on his waist. It was not that the Cui family and the Gu family had a better relationship, but that Cui Zhen was closer to the Gu family's female family. It was probably because of Mrs. Lin's affairs that brought Cui Zhen closer to her aunt.
Wei Yuanchen raised his eyebrows as if there was a layer of frost falling on it. He didn't care about Cui Zhen and the Gu family. He would stare at Cui Zhen this time when he came to Taiyuan Prefecture because of the war horse case.
If the war horse case is related to Cui Zhen, he will definitely take Cui Zhen down together. Unexpectedly, Cui Zhen stood up at a critical moment and led to the case of Lao Dingning Hou. Now it seems that Cui Zhen is not the same as Lin Sizhen and others, and Cui Zhen did not participate in the war horse case.
Although he wanted the Cui clan to pay the price for Rujun's incident, he disdained to frame him, and Rujun would not want such a incident to happen.
Wei Yuanchen brought the stone cake into his mouth. After eating, he had to check around. He had no time and energy to get together and chat like them.
At this moment, Cui Zhen's laughter came, and Cui Zhen handed the nine series in his hand to Gu Mingzhu: "I'm not as good as Zhuzhu."
Mrs. Lin's voice came vaguely: "It was because Zhuzhu was disrupted and could not be solved."
The whole family is having a happy time.
Wei Yuanchen swallowed his last bite of stone cake and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a suffocation in his throat.
"San Master, are you choking?" Chujiu immediately stepped forward and handed the water bag.
Wei Yuanchen took two sips of water and threw the water bag back to Chujiu: "Who asked you to buy this thing? Next time I buy Hubiao."
The ninth day of the lunar month is a little aggrieved. Hu cakes are not harder, so why don’t you eat meat cakes?
Wei Yuanchen held the reins and was about to move forward when he saw another woman in front of the carriage beside him looking at this side. It was Zhou Ruzhang.
Knowing that everyone was going back to Beijing, Mrs. Zhou San took Zhou Ruzhang to set off with her, obviously trying to get close to the Cui family. Wei Yuanchen raised his lips slightly and showed a sneer. Zhou Ruzhang was always ready to come forward.
Without waiting for Zhou Ruzhang to take action, Wei Yuanchen ordered: "You should start almost when you take a break. You are still a long way from the station. You can be safe before you arrive earlier." After that, he led the guards around him to go forward first.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but say, "Mr. Wei is really decisive in doing things." Not only does she act recklessly, she also does not show any mercy.
"Let's go," Mrs. Lin looked at Cui Zhen and said, "What Mr. Wei said makes sense. We will be at peace when we arrive earlier."
Cui Zhen and the female family members of the Cui family and Gu family got into the car, and walked in front of the road with the guards.
Zhou Ruzhang in the Zhou family carriage bit his lips. If Lord Wei spoke later, she walked to Gu fool. She was holding a purse in her hand to give it to Gu Mingzhu. It would be best if she could use this matter to stay in the Gu family carriage. Unexpectedly... it was just one step away.
Zhou Ruzhang was so angry that he wanted to stamp his feet. Why did God always go against her? He put down the curtain of the carriage? Zhou Ruzhang sat back to Mrs. Zhou San in a depressed manner: "Mother, do you think Dingning Hou would like that fool? I saw a lot of things being sent to the fool's carriage. Cui Zhen was still joking with that fool just now." This was the first time she saw the Marquis smile, and she always felt that the Marquis was not ordinary to Gu Mingzhu.
Mrs. Zhou San couldn't help laughing out loud, then shook her head: "What should I say to you? How can that fool compare with you? Dingning Hou treats her like this just because her father revealed the war horse case. In your grandmother's words, it's just a weighing of interests. Even if you have a little sincerity, it's still pity for her. Do you want Dingning Hou to like you or pity for you?"
Zhou Ruzhang blushed: "Of course I like it... I don't want him to pity others."
After saying this, Zhou Ruzhang felt sad again: "But... the Marquis still ignores me."
