Chapter 86: Why didn't Mother Xiao come to accompany the capital?
It had only been half a quarter of an hour since the incident happened, but whether it was Gu Jinshu or Xiao Luo, it felt like they were walking at the end of the long galaxy, which was unbearable.
When the uncle of the Wei family and his wife came over in a hurry, their faces were not very good. When they saw the maid lying in front of the four-corner table, their faces were so dark that they could shed tears.
"Luo'er, are you okay?"
Mr. Wei stepped forward and took a closer look at his niece. He was relieved when he saw that she was not injured. If something happened to this stall, how would he explain it to his sister who was far away in Qinzhou?
"It's okay, this maid..."
Xiao Luo narrated the cause and effect of what had just happened. Because of her words, the Wei family and his wife couldn't help but look at Gu Jinshu twice. Looking at a pretty girl who was only eleven or twelve years old, how could she actually distinguish the heart-killing grass?
However, this time was obviously not the time to dwell on this matter. Mrs. Wei stared at the maid not far away and said solemnly: "She is sure that I am the maid in the courtyard, but I have never asked her to bring tea to Luo'er.
"
It's just Tremella fungus tea, she's not so stingy that she can't even afford the tea.
No one had any reason to doubt Mrs. Wei's words. After all, she had no such motive at all. So the question is, who was instructing this maid?
What happened that caused her to take her own life as quickly as possible after her affair was exposed?
"I will investigate this matter carefully and don't let any rumors about what happened today happen."
If this unlucky thing were to spread out today, who knows how the Ge family would view Luo'er. After all, both the Xiao family and the Wei family have surpassed the Ge family.
Gu Jinshu felt Master Wei's eyes on her, and she promised softly: "Jin Shu will not say much about what happened today, and will also restrain the maids around her from telling anyone about it."
With her assurance, Mr. Wei beat the Xiao family and the Wei family again, and then had the body of the maid taken out, while Mrs. Wei stayed here to comfort Xiao Luo.
But she didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but Gu Jinshu always felt that she seemed to be asking questions about her. Her enthusiastic attitude really made her a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, Xiao Luo helped her out: "Aunt, you said uncle can find out this."
The person behind the scenes?"
"There will always be clues if you follow the clues, so don't worry. When you go to Ge's house today, be sure to treat it as if nothing happened. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will leave people with nothing to say in the future."
The old lady of the Ge family is not only a powerful master, but also a strong believer in these gods and ghosts. If she knew that such a thing would happen on the big day, Luo'er would probably have a hard time being the granddaughter-in-law!
Mrs. Wei left for a short while, but when she came back, she held a sandalwood makeup box in her hand. She walked over to Xiao Luo to sit down, took out a pure gold walking stick and inserted it in her hair.
In the bun, the sapphires embellished on it sparkle.
"I like it, but this..."
"Wear it if you like it."
Mrs. Wei interrupted Xiao Luo's words, but Gu Jinshu, who was not far away, glanced at her in surprise. If I remember correctly, this Jin Bu Yao should be the most valuable item in the Wei family!
This thing may not be able to compete with real gold and silver, but there is a legend flowing around it, a legend related to the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It is said that the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty came from a rough background but had great ambitions. When he passed a city that day, he accidentally met the daughter of the Wei family. The young man at that time fell in love at first sight. However, the identities of the two were very different, so the young man had to leave sadly.
field.
But he didn't expect that the girl from the Wei family was a master with a keen eye for recognizing heroes, and she used this golden walking stick to make a white-headed promise with him.
In the end, the girl became the founding empress, and the young man became the founding emperor.
Although the Wei family has declined since then, they have never forgotten their glory. Therefore, when the emperor sent this golden step back to the Wei family, the Wei family regarded it as an honor. Today, they do not want to use this golden step.
The glory is transferred to Xiao Luo.
"Your mother is the only girl in the three generations of our Wei family. Your grandmother wanted to give her this golden step, but she was unwilling to take it." Mrs. Wei paused and touched Xiao Luo's head, "Your mother
If you marry low, this golden step is just the icing on the cake, but your current situation is different. You marry high, and this thing is your confidence."
Seeing her puzzled look, Mrs. Wei sighed again: "You may be resenting your aunt and uncle for dragging you into this situation, but the big family is so helpless."
Although the Ge family is just a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette now, both Ge Jiaming and the insufferable Ge Jiaxu are rare talents. The rise of such a family is just around the corner. On the other hand, the Wei family has fallen from a first-class family to the present. If there is no one to help anymore, I will be afraid.
It means that we will no longer have a connection with the words "Aristocratic Family".
"You may still blame your mother and father for not coming to accompany the capital. In fact, why don't they want to see their daughter get married in glory?"
She pursed her lips and continued: "It was originally for your mother to marry the third master of the Ge family, but third master Ge finally escaped into Buddhism because of the Liao family. Your mother had a marriage contract with her, and she suddenly became a
She became the object of everyone's ridicule, and finally had no choice but to marry far away from Qinzhou. She didn't want to accompany the capital, she just didn't want to see her old friends."
Gu Jinshu and Xiao Luo were stunned when they heard this bloody story, especially Gu Jinshu. If she remembered correctly, didn't the Liao family have a quarrel with the second master of the Ge family? The last time she went to the Liao Mansion,
There are also many paintings and calligraphy by Ge Erye hanging in her study.
If there are two paintings in one painting, it must be accidental, but the whole room is hung with Master Ge's masterpieces, which is a bit thought-provoking.
Fortunately, she is a very sensible person, and she is very capable of pretending to be dumbfounded. She suppressed her curiosity and pretended that nothing happened.
"Although these are old things, I hope you can know something. Although the Ge family is ashamed of your mother, the people of the Ge family are not easy to deal with."
"Um."
Xiao Luo felt much more comfortable now. She had been complaining recently that neither her mother nor her father was willing to send her out of the palace, but she didn't expect that there was such a secret hidden in it.
"Ge Jiaming is an extremely smart person. If you want to live a good life in the Ge family in the future, you must capture his heart."
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be said by one of her aunts, but she was the only female elder here, so she had to do this.
At dusk, the sedan chair of the Ge family finally arrived. Gu Jinshu watched Xiao Luo get on the sedan chair with her own eyes and saw her enter the gate of the Ge family. Her tense heart was truly relieved. She was with her by her side.
The person's expression was very impatient.
"Why are you following me so secretly?"
