Chapter 10 Fate

"Grandmother." The girl walked towards Mrs. Gu with a smile on her face, her voice was like a yellow warbler's first cry, and it was melodious.

"Sister Xie, why did you come back so early?" Mrs. Gu's complexion changed from cloudy to sunny, she looked at Gu Yunxie with a happy smile, and the breath around her became softer.

Gu Yunxie was sent to the capital by Su Niang when she was a few months old. Mrs. Gu personally named her, raised her, and watched her grow from a babbling baby into a bright-eyed baby. White teeth, slim cardamom girl.

The relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren for more than ten years is real, she loves Gu Yunmai, and Gu Yunmai is the most filial to her.

In contrast, that girl is just a stranger, and has no relationship with the Hou family at all. She is so noisy, I am afraid that she has a grudge against the Hou Fu!

Madam Gu's eyes flashed a gloomy look.

Gu Yunxie walked up to Mrs. Gu and sat down, took her arm affectionately, and said coquettishly, "I miss grandma."

Mrs. Gu seemed to be fed a sip of honey, and she was extremely comfortable in her heart, and asked lovingly: "Is the flower feast at Prince Jing's Mansion fun?"

When talking about Prince Jing's Mansion, Mrs. Gu smiled so that a few wrinkles appeared in the corners of her eyes.

Since the death of the boss, the status of the Dingyuanhou's Mansion in the court has been a bit awkward, and the late emperor has been somewhat indifferent to the Gu family. The noble clans in Beijing have always been powerful, and they have rarely posted messages to the Gu family these years.

Half a month ago, when Gu Yunxie said that Princess Changqing of Prince Jing’s Mansion invited her to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, Mrs. Gu was overjoyed. All the sons and daughters were born in the families of dignitaries and powerful officials.

"It's fun. My pot of 'Phoenix Zhenyu' was selected as the second place in today's flower feast." Gu Yunmai nodded with a smile, smiling like a flower, and stretched out her hand to show Mrs. Gu the jade bracelet on her wrist, "This bracelet is given to you by the princess. Grandmother, am I not good at it?"

"It's amazing, our sister Xie has discerning eyes. Grandma rewards you with a jade pendant." Mrs. Gu reached out her hand and tapped Gu Yunxie's nose, smiling from ear to ear.

Mrs. Gu also knew about the origin of Gu Yunxie's pot of "Phoenix Vibrating Feathers". This pot of chrysanthemums was accidentally picked up by Gu Yunxie when he ran into a distressed flower farmer in the suburbs last month.

Gu Yunxie has been kind-hearted and lucky since she was a child.

When she was six years old, she rescued Kang Wang, who was still the seventh prince, in the turbulent Yangzhou, and thus kept the Gu family's title;

When she was nine years old, she dug up a two-hundred-year-old ginseng plant while outing, and pulled the ill Mrs. Gu back from the gate of hell;

When she was thirteen years old, it happened that the rare treasure Jiuqu Bead was presented as a tribute from a foreign country in the southwest. The envoys challenged the court with the theme of "Nine Curved Beads Threaded". Uncovering the list, the skill of "Ants Wearing Nine Curved Beads" shocked everyone.

There are countless such incidents.

Mrs. Gu once took Gu Yunxie to Bailong Temple to ask the presiding master to approve her fate. The presiding master said that her fate is beyond words.

"I'm not looking for a reward from my grandmother." Gu Yunlai tilted her head and smiled sweetly, "The next time the chrysanthemum I raised wins His Highness King Kang, grandma will reward me again."

"His Royal Highness Kang Wang has also gone?" Mrs. Gu's eyebrows moved, and the smile on her face deepened.

"Yeah, it was the prince who sent me back." Gu Yunxie nodded, his eyes were flowing, bright and moving, "Grandmother, the prince recently got a few cans of top-grade Longjing, I heard that grandma likes to drink tea, so let me bring a can to grandma. "

Gu Yunxie's maid quickly presented a cloisonné enamel Three Gentlemen teapot.

"My lord has a heart." Mrs. Gu sighed happily, her thoughts were flying: Kang Wang is sincere to Gu Yunxie, there is no doubt about it, the problem is the Queen Mother.

If he wanted to pass the test of the queen mother, Gu Yunxie had to break away from Fang Mingfeng as soon as possible.

"Nurse Xu, you're back." Gu Yunxie looked at Nanny Xu who was kneeling on the ground, as if she had just noticed her existence, and said in surprise and concern, "Did the second sister come back too?" ?”

Only then did Nanny Xu raise her head, and replied respectfully: "Go back to the third girl, the second girl is still in Danyang City."

Meeting Gu Yunxie's puzzled eyes, Madam Xu went on to explain: "Third Miss, you don't know, Second Miss is really outrageous..."

Nanny Xu babbled again and again about Gu Yanfei's various misbehaviors.

Mrs. Gu's face darkened again, anyone could see that she was very unhappy about it.

"Grandmother, the second sister has had a hard time since she was a child. She came all the way from Huaibei to an unfamiliar place, so she is uneasy." Gu Yunxie comforted Mrs. Gu in a good voice, and leaned on her intimately. She shouldered, "Grandmother, you have always been kind to us juniors, don't worry about it with the second sister."

"How about this. Grandma, why don't I go to Danyang City to pick up my second sister?"

Gu Yunxie suggested thoughtfully, whether it was the tone of voice or the sweet and sweet smile, it made people feel indescribably comfortable.

Mrs. Gu was coaxed by Gu Yunxie's few words so that her face softened a little, and she patted the back of her hand kindly, but she still shook her head and vetoed: "No. In two days, aren't you going to go to Huangjue Temple to offer incense with Princess Changqing?" ?"

Mrs. Gu weighed the pros and cons, and quickly made a decision in her mind.

She sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, the second girl is full of grievances, and her children and grandchildren are all debts, so it's better for me, an old bone, to go there myself."

"Grandmother..." Gu Yunxie wanted to say something, but Mrs. Gu interrupted her by raising her hand.

"Sister Xie, grandma knows you are filial." Mrs. Gu patted her head, "Okay, just follow what I said, you stay in the capital obediently, and I will ask your eldest sister to accompany me."

"..." Nanny Xu was stunned, pinched her thigh, and the pain told her that this was not a dream: Mrs. Tai actually agreed to the rude request of the second girl!

Mrs. Gu naturally would not be sloppy when traveling, and the servants of Cihetang hurriedly packed up their luggage and were busy all night.

Early the next morning, the horse-drawn carriage of Dingyuanhou's Mansion left the capital and headed south along the official road.

Walking and resting all the way, it took four days to reach Danyang City.

"Tut tuk, tuk tuk..."

"Old Li, quickly open the door, Mrs. Tai is here!"

A rough woman knocked heavily on the door, and the bronze knocker made the door vibrate endlessly.

While responding, Old Li ran to open the door, and at the same time sent a little maid to report to Gu Yanfei in the inner courtyard.

Mrs. Gu in the carriage closed her eyes, slowly twisting the prayer beads in her hand.

There was no sound in the carriage, but the street outside the carriage was quite lively. Apart from the peddlers who set up stalls on the street, there were passers-by from time to time.

"The Yacha is here to patrol again, let's go another way." Not far away, a rough and mature male voice shouted, his tone full of resentment.

Immediately afterwards, another younger male voice interjected: "I don't know what's going on these two days. The Yamen patrolled everywhere, even checking the gate of the city. I was blocked at the gate of the city for almost an hour before I came in."

The voices of the two were particularly loud, and Mrs. Gu in the carriage could hear them clearly.

She waved her hand to call for Nanny Xu, and said, "Go and find out what happened in the city."

Nanny Xu quickly agreed.
