302 Inappropriate
Lu Qin blinked slowly, and didn't notice that Gu Yanfei's expression was wrong, so he was a little nervous now.
"Nothing really is wrong, right?" Lu Qin looked at Gu Yanfei's dark eyes, and couldn't help swallowing, his heart pounding.
Gu Yanfei stared at Lu Qin's beautiful face and asked straight to the point: "A Qin, who is your fiancé?"
Without her instructions, Juan Bi consciously sent all the other servants in the house out.
In the East Side room, only the four of them were left.
Lu Qin rubbed a handkerchief and twisted the handkerchief again and again, saying, "He is my aunt's nephew, the eldest son of the Hua family, Hua Xi."
"What else?" Gu Yanfei asked again.
Lu Qin seemed to be recalling something, and Marrying Bei Yutiao bit her lower lip slightly, and soon continued: "I am eighteen years old this year, a juren, elegant and gentle, very careful."
"The family arranged for us to see each other in Baiyun Temple. That day, a child accidentally fell into the water in Hou Temple. He went into the water to save the child. I think others are pretty good."
"The two companies just exchanged Geng Tie two days ago."
Speaking of her fiancé, Lu Qin's eyes fluttered in her pupils. On the one hand, she was happy, and on the other hand, Gu Yanfei's cautious expression made her feel nervous: Isn't this marriage really inappropriate, right?
Wei Jiaoniang couldn't help asking Lu Qin and said, "Didn't you always say you want to find a military general's family?"
Lu Qin did think so, but man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. When her parents asked her to go to Baiyun Temple to burn incense, she didn't expect it to be a blind date, and she didn't expect that she had a great time with the other party and was very involved.
Lu Qin cleared his throat, looked serious, and said, "Mom said that it's not restrictive to civil and military affairs, just be good."
"My aunt said that our two families know the roots and bottom of the situation, and we will be more close to each other in the future."
Gu Yanfei then asked the third question: "When will I get a small decision?"
"Three days later." Lu Qin Nene replied, "It is the auspicious day for the Hua family to ask for someone to calculate."
The Lu family originally thought that this time was too hasty, but the Hua family said, forget it, this day is a rare good day, and it will be beneficial to children.
It was only three days before the Little Dingle. The family had detained her and refused to let her go. Fortunately, Wei Jiaoni went to pick her up, so her mother had to let her go.
Gu Yanfei still looked at Lu Qin's eyes, and after looking for a long time, he slowly said, "You will die."
Her cold voice was like a bucket of ice water from the cold winter twelfth month and poured on Lu Qin's head, making her feel cold from head to toe, which penetrated her heart and spleen.
Even the light in the house seemed to be much darker, giving people a feeling of yin and sensation.
"A Qin, hurry back to the house and reject this marriage." Gu Yanfei said again, "Immediately."
Will she die?! Lu Qin's mouth was slightly opened, as if she was dumbfounded.
"Lu Qin, let's go!" Without waiting for Lu Qin to speak, Wei Jiaoniang stood up the fastest reaction, took Lu Qin's hand and ran away, and then said to Gu Yanfei, "Yan Fei, I'll come to you later."
"Lu Qin, hurry up." Wei Jiaoniang dragged Lu Qin and walked quickly, with wind blowing under her feet, urging Lu Qin repeatedly.
Lu Qin was still confused and was foolishly pulled forward by Wei Jiaoniang.
The two girls ran away in a hurry, and the door curtain was "brushed" by Wei Jiaoniang and then fell down. Gu Yun really wanted to send them off.
Looking at the shaking door curtain, Gu Yunzhen said uneasyly: "Second Sister, this marriage is really so bad? A Qin really..." Will he die?!
"The yin energy on Aqin's body is very heavy." Gu Yanfei said.
Yin Qi? Gu Yunzhen swallowed his saliva and felt a little scarred.
A breeze with the fragrance of flowers suddenly blew out of the window, and the shadows of the trees swayed gently, reflecting the faces of the sisters a little solemn.
"I can't say it either." Gu Yanfei thoughtfully touched his chin, and his eyebrows slightly frowned, "This is the yin energy that belongs to the dead."
Gu Yanfei changed his position and changed to holding his cheek. After thinking about it, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and her body sat up straight, "I understand, the person who is engaged to A Qin should be dying."
"..." Gu Yunzhen's eyes couldn't help but widen when she heard this. She was really scared, and even the hairs on her neck stood up.
She almost blurted out "Really", but still bit her lip.
The second sister said so, this matter must be true.
Juan Bi was shocked: the marriage between the two families had just been decided, and the future husband would be gone, and the third girl Lu would probably be regarded as a husband. If someone waited for someone to marry and the husband would be gone, then the third girl Lu would be young, wouldn't she have to be a widow?!
"Then Aqin..." Gu Yunzhen twisted his slender fingers and became even more uneasy.
"The two families are just exchanging Geng Tie, and it's still time." Gu Yanfei couldn't help but look at the door curtain in front, looking at the mandarin ducks playing with water lilies embroidered on the curtain.
"Just don't get hired."
"Juanbi, please tell the doorman that if you come later, just let her come in." Gu Yanfei ordered.
Juan Bi responded obediently and lifted the curtain out.
The room was particularly quiet, and the rustling sound of the fine wind whispering the trees outside the window.
Gu Yunzhen was still a little restless and was still thinking about Lu Qin. He heard Gu Yanfei ask her inadvertently: "Big sister, didn't you say that you used too much goat milk in the kitchen last time? Did you find the problem?"
Speaking of this, Gu Yunzhen was excited and nodded, "I found it."
"A woman named Peng in the kitchen admitted that she had taken it secretly, saying that she had just added a grandson at home, and her eldest daughter-in-law had no milk, so she became greedy and stole goat milk."
"I checked that her daughter-in-law did give birth to a baby last month, so she fined her half a year's monthly payment and asked her to go to the garden to clean it. She also asked her to send a can of goat milk to the Peng family every day in the future."
The kitchen errand is a fat thing that everyone thinks. This transfer of Mrs. Peng from the kitchen to the garden is equivalent to being demoted. The loss is not only half a year of monthly money. Gu Yunzhen punished her like this to serve as a warning to you.
After saying this, Gu Yun really thought of something, and a little hesitant expression appeared on his face, "But..."
But what?! Gu Yanfei was so hung up by her.
At this time, another gust of wind blew in from outside the window, holding a few leaves, which happened to fall on the skirts of the sisters.
Gu Yunzhen pursed her lips and looked at the dancing flowers and trees outside the window, then hesitated: "I heard the cry of babies in my mansion at night..."
Gu Yanfei raised his delicate willow eyebrows.
There are only two people living in the mansion, so there are naturally no babies.
Gu Yunzhen rubbed the veil, and a little bit of surprise appeared on Wen Wan's face. She swallowed her saliva and said slowly: "Three days ago, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so I simply got up. I went to the small garden alone for a while and suddenly I heard a cry of a baby."
"I remember it was not long before the sound of the clapper sounds in the fourth day of the year."
That night, the reason why she couldn't sleep was because she read the script before going to bed, and after going to bed, she still thought about the plot of the script, so she couldn't sleep.
Gu Yunzhen cleared his throat as if nothing had happened, and then continued: "Later I told my mother about this, but my mother didn't believe it, saying it was a cat's meow, and said it was spring now, and the female cats howled in the night, which sounded like the crying of a baby."
So, even Gu Yunzhen herself didn't know if she heard it wrong.
"Do you know where the sound came from?" Gu Yanfei asked in thought.
Gu Yunzhen raised his hand and pointed in a direction through the window, "It's not far from the west gate of the small garden."
The small garden is located in the northwest corner of the Hou Mansion. Compared with the large garden, it is too remote and has a small layout. There are not many people going there on weekdays. Jiahuiyuan is backed by the small garden, only separated by a small bamboo forest.
"Later, I looked in that direction during the day, and there was only a pavilion and a rockery. Think about it again, it was quite cold at night now. If there were really little babies, I was afraid they would freeze to death."
"Maybe I really misunderstood the cat's meow..." Gu Yunzhen smiled embarrassedly, and looked left and right, "Yan Fei, Qingguang is a female cat, I heard that the Jade-faced raccoon and the Grooster Brocade are usually female cats. Did Qingguang call him at night recently?"
The jade-faced crocodile is the elegant name of the three-cat cat, and the rolling brocade is the nickname of the tortoiseshell cat.
"..." Gu Yanfei's face showed an expression of indescribable expression, and kindly advised, "Big sister, don't let Qingguang hear your words."
She raised her right hand and made a gesture of scratching people with her claws, "It will scratch people!"
"It's not clear." Gu Yunzhen suddenly forgot about the baby's crying at night, and praised Qingguang with an eloquence, saying that it never bites people, and even became obedient when cutting its nails...
"By the way!" Gu Yun really thought of something and stroked his palm excitedly, "I accidentally got a small screen, which is very cute, just right next to the sunny cat's nest."
"The long-haired jade-faced crocodile embroidered on the small screen looks like a sunny day, and it appears vividly." Her maid Jade added interestingly beside her.
"Jade, go to Jiahuiyuan and get the small screen." Gu Yunzhen hurriedly ordered.
"I will go with Sister Jade." Juan Bi's eyes also shone and volunteered to go out with Jade.
There was no room for Gu Yanfei to speak throughout the whole process, and Gu Yunzhen was still talking nonstop: "Yan Fei, the embroiderer who embroidered the screen embroidered the wonderful double-sided embroidery, especially at embroidering cats and birds. I saw several of her embroidery pieces, and the cat was indeed well embroidered."
"I'll let her embroider a few more round fans with jade-faced raccoons, and you can also give them to others... Everyone likes Qingguang, and they will definitely like that round fan."
"..." Gu Yanfei felt that the cat was not here, otherwise he would be so proud that his tail was raised to the sky.
In the east room, only Gu Yunzhen was left with a cheerful voice. The sound of birds singing outside the window seemed to be playing, and seemed to be opposing.
In the afternoon, Yuheng Garden returned to its usual peace. Until dusk, after the sunset, Gu Mansion welcomed guests again—
Wei Jiaoniang is back, but this time, she came alone.
"Yan Fei, Aqin was locked up by her mother." As soon as we met, Wei Jiaoni pouted and complained angrily. "Mrs. Lu Er scolded her fiercely, saying that every child was ignorant and that the Geng Tie of the two families had exchanged. How could he break off the engagement and spread it? Is her reputation still worth it?"
"Hey, we tried our best to persuade her and told her everything you said, but no matter how she said it, she didn't listen."
Wei Jiaoni said angrily, so angry that her head was almost smoking.
She had already said everything she could say, but she almost talked about her grandmother and Xu Yan's family. However, no matter what they said, Mrs. Lu Er sneered at them, and looked at them like a child watching a mess.
Wei Jiaoniang took the warm tea handed over by Juanbi and drank three cups in one breath. She still felt depressed and muttered: "I used to think that Aqin's mother's temperament was quite good, much gentler than my mother and my grandmother. Today I realized that she is so handsome..."
After pausing, she thought about a word: "Stubborn."
This word is actually tactful.
Wei Jiaoniang sighed weakly and glanced at Gu Yanfei with a complicated expression.
She actually hid some things and said nothing. When Mrs. Lu Er heard that it was Gu Yanfei who warned them that this family could not be married, she said something ugly and sarcastic:
"It turned out to be the second girl from the Gu family. I don't know what she is willing to ruin our sister Qin'er's marriage."
"It's pitiful that the Gu family has lost their titles, but this pitiful person must have something hateful. As the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. For the future of the Gu family, she flatters everywhere, seeks trouble for the bad people's marriage, and is not afraid of retribution."
"Good girl, I advise you to avoid contact with Miss Gu Er in the future, so as not to be ruined by her."
Mrs. Lu Er's words were still in her ears. At that moment, Wei Jiaoniang was so angry that she almost overturned the table. For Lu Qin's sake, she finally left.
Thinking of this, Wei Jiaoniang's anger rose again and drank the fourth glass of water.
Although Wei Jiaoniang didn't say it, Gu Yanfei could tell from her face that what Mrs. Lu Er said would not be very nice.
"Yan Fei, what should I do?" Wei Jiaoniang stretched out two fingers and gently pulled Gu Yanfei's sleeve, very worried, "Mrs. Lu Er said that Hua Xi is very good."
"She said that Hua Xi was the Juren when she was sixteen years old. She was the first name Jie Yuan. She was very talented and also became a disciple of the Qingzhou great Confucian Wang Yi. Wang Daru praised him for his next degree and had great hope of winning the third grade. He said that such a young juren is a talented person, and his family background is innocent. Such a good son-in-law can't be found even with a lantern."
"I heard her tone and I was eager to let Aqin get married with Hua Xi immediately, for fear of missing the beautiful son-in-law named Hua."
Wei Jiaoniang frowned, and the Sichuan-shaped pattern on her eyebrows could kill mosquitoes, which was particularly abrupt on her beautiful little face.
She stared at Gu Yanfei's face worriedly and said, "Huaxi sounds good, but I always feel something is wrong. The marriage is too urgent..."
"Yan Fei, will this marriage really kill A Qin? Could it be that the wife of Hua's surname is Ke?"
Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin had a handkerchief that they grew up together. The relationship between them can be said to be like sisters. That afternoon, Wei Jiaoniang's heart was getting up and down.
"It's not that he defeated his wife," Gu Yanfei said quietly, "It's Hua Xi who is almost dying."
What?! Wei Jiaoniang was frightened and almost jumped up from the Arhat bed, walked around for a while, and said, "I'll go back and tell my mother that she will persuade Mrs. Lu Er."
Wei Jiaoniang had just had a cup of tea and ran away like a gust of wind.
After returning home, she hurried to find the wife of the Duke of Wei and told him everything about Lu Qin. Thinking that if her mother came forward, Chang'an's mansion always had to take into account the face of the Duke of Wei.
So, the wife of the Prince of the Duke of Wei personally went to Chang'an Mansion early the next morning. Mrs. Lu Er treated her politely and promised that she would ask someone to check the Hua family again.
After a polite and appropriate response, Mrs. Lu Er sent her confidant, Madam Yang, to send the wife of Prince of Wei away. She said a lot of beautiful words, but she never agreed to leave the marriage.
After a while, Madam Yang came back alone to report her life. Mrs. Lu Er, who had endured it, finally couldn't help but complain: "Hmph, a little girl said two or three words and could only go to the prince's wife in person."
Madam Yang poured tea and water for Mrs. Lu Er, and replied with a smile: "That's right, the third uncle in the future is his uncle's wife's family, and he is a juren at a young age. How can he not be good?"
"I can still harm my daughter!" Mrs. Lu Er slowly used the tea cover to remove the floating leaves on the tea soup, "That's my own daughter!"
"A woman's marriage is equivalent to her second reincarnation. I am just such a daughter. Of course, I hope she will be smooth for the rest of her life."
Madam Yang smiled and agreed again: "The third girl and the fourth young master have always been in good shape. If she knew that the fourth young master had such a good job, she would be happy."
Thinking of his son, Mrs. Lu Er's lips raised and her eyebrows were soft.
They are second houses, not like the long house, and the future is bright. My uncle has left all his good chores to his son. Their second house can't even make up for the remaining soup. Her son's journey is like in the past few years.
This time, my sister-in-law in her parents agreed to her that after the marriage was completed, their Hua family would ask her son for a job of five military camps and hundreds of households.
"There is no bad thing about this kind of marriage." The more Mrs. Lu Er thought about this marriage, the more satisfied she felt. "It would be better for Sister Qin to marry her aunt's home."
Madam Yang smiled and complimented again, saying everything she said was like Mrs. Lu Er liked to hear.
Finally, she said, "Don't worry, the second lady is young, and she must be so nervous because she wants to get married, that she was deceived by the second lady Gu, which made her mind confused."
Mrs. Lu Er spat and sighed: "I'm also a slut. I shouldn't have agreed to let her and Wei Jiaoniang go out yesterday, otherwise there would be no trouble!"
"Madam Yang, these two days, please help me watch Sister Qin and let her sew a pair of socks out. In two days, the Hua family will come to Xiao Dingfeng."
Originally, as a return gift for the Little Dingle, the woman should have made a dress for the man, but time was too tight, and Mrs. Lu Er could only wait for the second best to let her daughter sew a pair of socks.
Madam Yang agreed with her promise: "Don't worry, madam, this matter is for the old slave."
