Chapter 239 Taking Pictures (Part 1)
Gu Yunxie had already seen Wang's abnormality, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
Ever since she came back from the palace on the day of the flounder feast, Wang's attitude towards her changed, she was cold and indifferent. She went to the main courtyard several times to greet Wang, but was stopped by the servants of the main courtyard.
When the supervisor of ceremonies came to make an order, Mrs. Wang accompanied Gu Jian to receive her. At that time, Mrs. Wang didn't say a few words at all, and the smile on her face was almost forced.
As soon as the inspector of ceremonies left, Mrs. Wang began to lament at her, saying that she hated her getting married so early, saying that the flowers are not as popular as ever, and saying the allusion about Qi Dafei... Listen to those words. Just hiding words in words, yin and yang are weird.
Gu Yunxie was not stupid, of course she could hear what Wang meant, but that day was her big day, and she was too lazy to argue with Wang.
Seeing Wang's reluctance and reluctance at this moment, Gu Yunmai felt more and more unhappy: she was recorded in Wang's name, which meant that she was sincerely recognized as her mother, but Wang was not.
In the past, Mrs. Wang recognized her daughter for the sake of King Kang, but now Mrs. Wang avoids her for fear, and it is still for the sake of King Kang.
Gu Yunxie's eyes were slightly cold, and she asked coldly: "Mother is so restless...does she look down on King Kang?"
Mrs. Wang was drinking tea, and when Gu Yunxie asked her, she almost choked on the tea in her mouth, feeling a little embarrassed.
Gu Yunxi didn't give Wang a chance to speak, and said calmly: "No matter what, King Kang is also a majestic county king."
"Kang Kang hasn't fallen yet, Mrs. Hou doesn't have to worry about being implicated."
When she said the first sentence, she still called Mrs. Wang her mother, but when she said the last sentence, she had already changed her name to Mrs. Hou, and the alienation was beyond words.
Thinking of how Wang always treated her as if she was her own daughter, Gu Yunxie felt mocking. Wang is really hypocritical and realistic.
The face of Wang who was said to be in his mind froze again, but he also knew that he couldn't admit it.
Mrs. Wang wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and quickly said: "Sister Xie, you misunderstood me, how can I look down on Kang Wang."
Mrs. Gu frowned, and looked at Wang Shi with displeasure, which made Wang Shi's heart skip a beat.
The air suddenly became cold.
Gu Yunxi lowered her eyelashes slightly, the slender and thick eyelashes cast a light shadow on her fair eye sockets, her cherry lips were slightly pursed, revealing a bit of stubbornness and aloofness.
Mrs. Wang met Mrs. Gu's sharp eyes, and said bravely, "Mother, I was thinking that the First Prince may have taken a fancy to Yan Fei."
"Our Hou's Mansion..." Wang frowned tightly, and hesitantly sighed.
She straightened her thoughts again, and then went on to say: "King Kang and the First Prince are bound to be in conflict, no matter which side wins, will we have a good life in the Marquis Mansion?"
"Moreover, during the last feast, even the empress dowager was placed under house arrest by the emperor, Yuan Zhe is still locked in the imperial prison, and even the Yu family has collapsed..."
"Jing Zhaoyin Feng He was beheaded, and his brother Feng She was also detained in the palace..."
All these piles, one piece at a time, Wang Shi was talking about it one by one at the moment, but he felt terrified and his lips were dry.
At first, Gu Yunxi hated Wang's shallow eyelids, but when he heard the other party talking excitedly about the First Prince and Gu Yanfei, a sneer slowly formed on the corners of his lips.
From the moment Gu Yanfei came back, she became a tarsal maggot that couldn't get rid of her body.
Gu Yanfei refused to let herself go, just like she refused to let Su Niang go...
Gu Yunxie's slender fingers clenched the handkerchief tightly, her heart was filled with an indescribable grievance and sorrow, and a dull sense of suffocation lingered in her heart.
Seeing Gu Yunxie's grievance and forbearance, Mrs. Gu hugged her slender shoulders distressedly, patted her gently, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, grandma is here."
"Grandmother won't let you be wronged, my sister-in-law just needs to get married at ease."
Mrs. Gu comforted Gu Yunxie with gentle words, with a kind and gentle style.
However, when she turned her head to look at Mrs. Wang, her expression turned cold instantly, and she said coldly, "Mrs. Wang, you just need to prepare a dowry for Sister Xie."
"Sister Xie used to be the princess of the county when she married, and in the future..."
Mrs. Gu paused meaningfully, her eyes pierced coldly like a sharp knife, "If you dare to neglect Miss Xie, then don't stay in the Gu family! Our Gu family can't afford your big Buddha!"
This is the first time Mrs. Gu has called her second daughter-in-law Wang's so shamelessly.
These words of indifference are tantamount to slapping Wang's face several times.
All the servants in the room lowered their heads silently, as if they didn't hear anything.
A three-colored cat curled up on the table by the window and slept in a ball, occasionally raised its head lazily, yawned, and buried its head again.
"..." Wang Shi gritted her silver teeth, feeling her cheeks were burning hot, her face turned red and blue, blue and purple, purple and white, and the colors changed wonderfully.
She was about to walk away, but she finally held back, took a deep breath, and nodded to Mrs. Gu with difficulty: "Yes, mother."
"Daughter-in-law remembers."
Wang Shi said so on the lips, and she looked downcast on the outside, but she was even more unconvinced in her heart.
But she knew that in this Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Gu was the one and only old lord, and even Marquis Gu Jian of Dingyuan would not dare to disobey Mrs. Gu, let alone the daughter-in-law Wang.
Mrs. Wang dared not speak out, so she could only obediently listen to Mrs. Gu's lectures. After a stick of incense, she came out of the Cihe Hall, and then she complained angrily to the nurse:
"I'm also thinking about the future of the Marquis Mansion. King Kang's future is unknown, so this marriage should be discussed in the long run!"
"I'm not asking Sister Xie to withdraw from the marriage, but I just want to persuade my mother-in-law not to be impatient, lest the Hou Mansion also fall into it."
"I'm all for the sake of the Hou Mansion, but my mother-in-law shames me like this in front of the juniors and servants..."
"..."
Mrs. Wang is not stupid. She said this to avoid people complaining to the nurse in private. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a three-colored cat swaggering out of the Cihe Hall with its tail up. Very proud.
Not only Mrs. Wang saw the cat, but the servants of Cihetang also saw the cat, and they all watched it leave reluctantly.
The cat left the Cihe Hall so blatantly, ran all the way to the northeast, and returned to Yuhengyuan by flying over the eaves and walls.
"Meow!"
The cat didn't go through the main entrance, but quickly climbed up a tree, walked leisurely around the canopy of the tree, and then entered Gu Yanfei's small study through a window in the backyard.
Gu Yanfei was sitting in front of the desk by the window, holding a white towel in his hand, carefully wiping an old copper coin.
There are still four old copper coins on the desk in front of her, which have been wiped clean and spotless.
After wiping the copper coin in his hand clean, Gu Yanfei put it together with the other four coins on the table, rearranged them, and smiled with satisfaction.
The heavenly emperors in the east, south, west, north, and middle directions are tired of winning money, and they are all in order.
The five emperors' money was collected by Gu Yanfei after searching for several days in antique shops in central Beijing.
Gu Yanfei strung the five copper coins together with a red thread, and wove a big red tassel to drop below.
"Meow!"
When Qingguang saw the big red tassel, he was happy, and decided that it was the tassel woven by the owner.
It leaped lightly from the window sill to the table, and stretched out its paws to scratch the string of five emperor coins, which means, mine!
The cat's movements were fast, but Gu Yanfei's movements were even faster. As soon as he raised his hand, he caught the string of five emperors' money in his palm, preventing the cat from scratching it.
"It's not for you." Gu Yanfei stretched out his hand to stroke the string of five emperors' money and the red tassels, and straightened them again, "This is for Anle."
Five emperors' money can block evil spirits, guard against villains, avoid evil spirits, and prosper wealth. It is strung together with red thread like this, which is suitable for girls to carry around. It can be worn on the waist or hidden in a purse or sleeve pocket.
The cat was aggrieved, it meowed several times, and rubbed against Gu Yanfei's sleeve, acting coquettishly again and again.
"Okay, I'll make one up for you next time." Gu Yanfei patted the cat's head reassuringly.
The cat was finally satisfied, and rubbed against her with its fluffy cheeks, its white beard trembling, Gu Yanfei scratched the cat's chin twice, and took out a talisman from the bib around the cat's neck.
Several twisted and complicated runes were drawn on the pale yellow talisman paper with bright red cinnabar.
Gu Yanfei moved her lips slightly, and threw the talisman into the air, and a corner of the talisman burned. At the same time, three familiar figures appeared on the talisman paper. They were Mrs. Gu, Gu Yunxie and Wang Shi... …
It's a pity that the picture on the talisman paper is not very clear and intermittent.
"Meow meow meow……"
The cat saw it too, waving its paws and gesticulating to the three people that appeared on the talisman paper, and gesticulating again, "meow meow" incessantly.
Gu Yanfei still couldn't understand what the cat was saying, but she could guess what happened in the Cihe Hall just now from the silent picture on the talisman paper.
This is a picture talisman drawn by her, but unfortunately it is only a semi-finished product.
After a while, the talisman paper was completely burned to ashes.
The shadowy picture also disappeared.
As soon as the wind blew, the dots of ashes in mid-air were instantly blown away by the wind, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.
