After Wan Xing inquired about for several days, Lin Weixi finally pieced together the truth about the dowry.
Last year Gao Xi died of illness, and Wang Yan's family has a big business. Naturally, he will not be greedy for his wife's dowry, so Gao Xi's dowry was left to the British government intact. The British government's idea of remarrying a girl with the surname Gao came in, which was very generous in dowry. Later, the British Prince and Gu Chengyao reached a consensus and asked Gao Ran to marry Gao Ran. The British government was overjoyed, and at the same time, it was also overwhelmed by Gao Ran, so he transferred all Gao Xi's dowry to Gao Ran, and also discounted some cash plugs to Gao. Then make the bodyguard money.
Gao Xi is the eldest daughter of the Guogongfu, and her own dowry is very expensive, and her mother Wei has only one child. Wei's dowry plus the dowry prepared by the British government, and the private subsidy of Princess Shoukang. Gao Xi's net worth can be imagined.
Later, Gao Xi died of illness without leaving the child. If the married daughter had no children, the dowry would have to be returned to the family. At that time, Gao Ran's re-marriage was already firmly established. The British father-in-law wanted to win over the in-laws of King Yan's mansion. That high-ranking attitude was very important. The British father-in-law was bleeding heavily and transferred most of Gao Xi's dowry to Gao Ran. , And another four new sets of head and face jewelry. However, Gao Xi's dowry still contains things from the original Wei family. If it is an ordinary daughter-in-law, the British father-in-law, the mother-in-law, can directly call the shots.
Wei has been dead for many years, she has a daughter under her knees, and Wei's dowry should be inherited by Gao Xi, and her family has no right to recover it. The trouble is that Gao Xi also passed away at a young age, and she did not leave any money. The British government was very nervous when handling Gao Xi's estate. Although the princess Shoukang has no successors in these years, she is seeing decline, but as long as Shoukang is alive for one day, she is the royal guest, the grandmother of the current emperor. The decline of Shoukang Princess Mansion is the royal family's own business. If outsiders dare not to face the princess, then the royal family won't make sense with you.
The British government was scrupulous about the senior princess, and could only politely handed over the words to the princess's mansion, asking Shoukang how to deal with Gao Xi and even the dowry left by Wei's back then.
Princess Shoukang enjoys royal worship for a lifetime. She opened her own door and set up her own account. She didn't have to be angry with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Her property was nothing but a foreign object. Although the princess mansion where Shou Kang lives now bears her title, after she dies, the princess mansion will be taken back by the clan mansion and will be awarded to another princess after repairs. It has nothing to do with the family of the horse and the horse. . Princess Shoukang does not have a son, and the family property of Nuo Da will be returned to the national treasury after death, so the dowry of the married daughter is not as valued as the ordinary family.
If this is an ordinary concubine, after Gao Xi's death, Wei's dowry is inherited by the concubine, even if this concubine has nothing to do with Wei and Princess Shoukang. But Gao Ran is the daughter of the Han family, the culprit who killed the Wei family in the first place, how could Princess Shoukang let this nest of **** take such a big advantage? After receiving the letter, Princess Shoukang sneered, and immediately ignored the faces of her in-laws, and ordered the long history of her house to go to the British government. The government planned to prepare Gao Ran to marry her, but Wei's things, What she prepared for her granddaughter Gao Xi had to bring back a melon seed.
After many years, the princess mansion took back the dowry of the daughter-in-law. The meaning of face-slapping was too heavy. The high-ranking households valued face the most. In this way, the princess Shoukang did this to treat the face of the British mansion in front of the entire capital. Throw it on the ground and step on it. The British husband-in-law is so angry, but who is the most noble in the family. The British lady-in-law was so angry that she didn't dare to do anything to Princess Shou Kang except for a few words with her son and wife in private. Now that the in-laws of the two houses have become feuds, the British elders and wives are also cold-faced, secretly talking about those things that are rare in the princess's house. They are dignified in the British government. Can the Gao family's married daughters still not afford a dowry?
So Gao Ran's dowry was the part prepared by the British government in Gao Xi's dowry, and some four-season clothes and gold and silver jewelry were added to the back. Of course, these dowries cannot be said to be bad, but they are more expensive than normal in the capital. Female level. There are many nobles in the capital like dogs, and there are too many princes and women who have superior family background and favored maidens, and Gao Xi's dowry is simply sky-high in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is nothing more than that in the eyes of women of the same class.
Wei is the only daughter, and Gao Xi is also the only daughter. The accumulation of dowries for three generations cannot be underestimated, and Gao Ran does not have the financial support of his mother's family. The dowry prepared by the British government is actually mediocre. After all, the British government has prosperous descendants. Even if Gao Ran is married, he is no more than a married woman. Can he compare with the sons and grandsons of the government? However, if Gao Ran gets the financial power of her husband's house in the Yan Dynasty, it is another matter. No matter how deep the family is, don't compare richness and nobility with the royal family. The day that can be compared is probably the day when the family is cut off.
Lin Weixi breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the dowry of his mother Wei's dowry and the privately subsidized land deeds of her grandmother had been taken back by the princess mansion. That's good, the dowry given to her by the British government is the private property of the Gao family, and they are willing to transfer it to Gao Ran, Lin Weixi has nothing to say, and doesn't care much. But the relics of his mother Wei can't be taken in by Gao Ran anyway.
His mother's relics and grandmother's things did not fall into Gao Ran's hands. Lin Weixi was extremely happy. For a few days, he was refreshed with happy events, and even looked at Gao Ran's eyes with kindness. In this way, what Gao Ran got was far from what she had originally. Lin Weixi deeply regretted this and was extremely happy.
At this time, thinking about the graceful behavior of showing off wealth a few days ago, Lin Weixi felt more and more ridiculous. Lin Weixi looked at Gao Ran with an inexplicable smile all night. Lin Weixi did not deliberately conceal his movements, Gao Ran was a little hairy for some reason, and even Gu Chengyao glanced at Lin Weixi strangely.
In the second half of the meal, Lin Weixi basically stopped moving the chopsticks, just poking at her own rice like a peck. After Gu Huiyan stopped, she immediately put the chopsticks down. Xu was too quick to put the chopsticks, so Gu Huiyan took a look at this place: "Eat well, don't giggle."
Lin Weixi was very dissatisfied with this sentence: "What is a giggle?"
The other servants in the room were shocked and numb when they heard this, even Gu Chengyao was not surprised. The hostess Lin is a very special existence in the palace. No matter who offends, she cannot offend Lin.
Sure enough, Gu Huiyan didn't care when he heard this contradiction. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about another thing: "You will get rid of the service in May. There is not much time left until now. Are all relevant things ready?"
Lin Weixi pursed her lips. She didn't answer, but turned her face to look at Gu Huiyan: "I want to get rid of the clothes in the Yanwang Mansion?"
Gu Huiyan glanced at her lightly: "Otherwise?"
The people listening next to him were a little untenable. King Yan offered to give Miss Lin a filial piety, but Lin Weixi still showed reluctance? Gao Ran's expression wasn't very good at the time. Lin Weixi was too embarrassed of Qiao, and King Yan was really too. Why was this kind of hypocritical and pretentious woman so used to her? But Gu Huiyan mentioned this, and Gu Chengyao, who was sitting next to him, had no objection. Gao Ran just smiled and agreed: "Filial piety is a big thing. Miss Lin can get rid of filial filial piety in the Yanwang Mansion, and she really has a relationship with the Wangfu. I haven't done anything about this. If there is something uncomfortable, please forgive me."
Gao Ran secretly buried the nail in his words. This is a polite sentence. Who knows that Lin Weixi really answered: "Since the concubine has never done anything about the wedding or funeral, then forget it. Funeral is not a big deal, myself. Arrangement is enough, there is no need for the concubine to study now."
When these words came out, Gao Ran was suddenly embarrassed. Gao Ran didn't expect that a polite remark would actually be brought online by Lin Weixi. Her mouth stiffened and said to herself: "Although I am young, I am also guided by my grandmother and elders at home. She has been involved in some major events. Since Miss Lin lives in the palace, she is a distinguished guest of our house. Apart from serving this kind of affairs, how can you, as a guest, prepare it yourself?"
"What's wrong, I'm the only one left in the Lin family. If I don't meet His Royal Highness, what can't I do by myself?" Lin Weixi glanced to the side when she said that, she dared to go back in person, but she didn't dare. Brush Gu Huiyan's face. To put it bluntly, the right to decide on this matter is still in the hands of Gu Huiyan. Seeing Gu Huiyan's expression calm and calm, Lin Weixi felt the invisible pressure and hurriedly said flattery: "I am related to His Royal Highness Yan. It's not because of the predestined relationship with King Yan's Mansion. It makes no sense to ask King Yan's Mansion to help me remove the clothes. Your Royal Highness Yan is right?"
"Why is there no fate?" Gu Huiyan looked at Lin Weixi, his eyes were easy-going, but what he said was completely different, "There is a difference between King Yan's Mansion and I?"
"Of course there is a difference. King Yan is you, but King Yan's Mansion is a family entrusted by the court. If someone else in the palace instigates me, I will definitely ignore it, but if it's King Yan you, then you can just open your mouth. Keep going."
Gu Huiyan finally laughed and glanced at Lin Weixi lightly: "You can speak."
Lin Weixi knew there was a play when he heard it: "Then this is the case?"
"It's up to you."
Lin Weixi smiled immediately, and at the end he didn't forget to make a knife in Gao Ran's direction: "Although the guest is up to you, it is better not to bother you two. The concubine does not have to worry about learning. His Royal Highness has agreed. I'll toss it myself."
Gu Huiyan felt helpless and funny when he didn't forget to bring him. This kind of little girl's mind is too far away from him. Gu Huiyan is used to being surrounded by blood-stained military newspapers or cold court battles. Suddenly, a little girl pulls him into the scheming of his children, as if he was also infected. The fireworks of another world. Although thin and shallow, it doesn't feel bad.
Gao Ran and Gu Chengyao sat together, and when Lin Weixi glanced at Gao Ran, Gu Chengyao naturally saw it. Both his upbringing and childhood experience tell him that he should like gentle and generous women, and Gu Chengyao has also thought so for so many years. Lin Weixi runs counter to the female virtues he expected. Gu Chengyao originally thought he would get bored, but when he really encountered Lin Weixi's undisguised provocation, he found that he was not impatient, but he was calm and faintly helpless. It's like...indulging.
Gu Chengyao was taken aback by his own thoughts, and immediately he laughed at himself. He was thinking about something, Gao Ran was destined to pursue it. He was just because of his father's face, so he tolerated Lin Weixi in every possible way.
The two male hosts showed a conniving attitude towards Lin Weixi, Gao Ran immediately became unhappy. She believed in her heart that Lin Weixi was deliberate, and deliberately went the other way, attracting Gu Chengyao's attention, and then further pretended to be pitiful with Gu Chengyao. Gao Ran was so angry that his liver hurts, and his heart became more determined, so he had to quickly let Lin Weixi move out. King Yan's Mansion can only have her as a mistress, and cannot tolerate a second master.
The matter of Lin Weixi's removal of service was finalized in this way. Gu Huiyan said that Lin Weixi was left to toss on her own, but later he was transferred to help her. Lin Weixi gave a little bit of excuses, and Gu Huiyan said: "This is a hand sent in my personal name. Didn't you say that you are unwilling to accept the help of the Yan King's Mansion, but you don't reject the Yan King."
All right, Lin Weixi obediently shut up.
On the third day of May, Lin Weixi took off his plain filial obedience and took off the fine white flowers on the bun. The three years of father's filial piety officially ended. Even so, Lin Weixi remembered the kindness of Lin Yong and the original body, and did not put on clothes such as bright red and rhubarb, but still wore a cool color shirt and skirt.
Princess Shoukang also paid close attention to Lin Weixi's extermination of filial piety. It happened that it was the Dragon Boat Festival shortly afterwards. The emperor and Queen Mother Qian were going to Xiyuan to watch the dragon boat race, accompanied by the royal family members and close ministers. Princess Shoukang had sent her new clothes and new jewellery early, and she was eagerly preparing to dress Lin Weixi, and then led her out to formally introduce the ladies and wives of the capital.
Lin Weixi looked at the Yunjin dress and sighed, but couldn't bear to disappoint her grandmother, so she followed the wishes of Princess Shoukang and dressed up grandly.
How could Lin Weixi think that Princess Shoukang had the idea of giving her a blind date this time.On the fifth day of May, when the sky was getting light, the servants of the Yan Palace took action. Today the emperor set up a dragon boat in Xiyuan, and the Yanwang Mansion is the highlight of his entourage. Then there will be a series of activities such as the Dragon Boat Festival and the sacrifice of the five poisons in the palace. I am afraid that it will not be too early for the Yanwang to get out.
Seeing that the whole day could not be stopped, the servants of the palace were nervous early. The calamus, hanging screens and other things in the palace were arranged yesterday. Early this morning, the carriage of the female family stopped at Ermen. Nowadays, high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital travel by arrogance, but the king of Yan has been in the army for many years and has long developed iron-like work and rest rules, how can he take a sedan chair? Not only Gu Huiyan himself, even Gu Chengyao, who grew up in the capital, was not allowed to take pride in riding horses no matter how far he went.
Gu Mingda was holding Zhaoxue, standing outside the Shuhua Gate like a benchmark, Zhaoxue puffed his nose, Gu Huiyan wore a dung dragon suit with a first-grade prince Pei Shou tied around his waist, standing in front of him with his hands behind. Gu Chengyao also changed into corresponding clan costumes, but his specifications were one level lower than Gu Huiyan's in all aspects. I don't know if it's because of the reduction of the pattern. It is obviously the same color. Gu Chengyao is also the son of Pian Pian in the prince's prince's clothes, but once he stands next to Gu Huiyan, he is immediately suppressed and has no strength to fight back. People passing through the Chuhua Gate can see King Yan at first sight, and they can only see King Yan. They hold their breath and bow their heads, and dare not come out.
Gu Huiyan waited outside Chuhua Gate, the carriage behind him was ready, just waiting for the female family inside to leave. If it was usual, Gu Huiyan would not have more than half a cup of tea from the time the order was issued to the start of the whole army. He ruled the army extremely strictly, and there would be no such thing as a shortage of people when the time was up. No one below would dare to let Gu Huiyan wait. But the capital was different from Yandi, and the man he was waiting for was also different from the **** who ordered and prohibited.
All the men and horses stood quietly. I don't know who was the first to make a sound. It was like a stone being thrown into the middle of the lake. The quiet and solemn corridor immediately came to life: "Miss Lin is here."
Lin Weixi walked towards the second door surrounded by Wan Xing and Wanyue. She saw the sight outside through the door. She was startled and quickened her pace: "His Royal Highness, you have already arrived? Why don't you go inside if you are here? Call me, it's exhausting you to wait, it's my fault."
Lin Weixi walked past the morning light, and the vermilion pillars and the creamy morning light became her background. Gu Huiyan took a second look at this scene. Lin Weixi today wore a white silk top and a six-faced silver-red horse-faced skirt. The knees were embroidered with large jewel-like flowers with silver thread, and the simple hairpin was covered with fine crystals, which slightly reflected the broken light as he walked. The facial features are more and more beautiful, unlike real people. She used to dress plainly without showing off her filial piety, and she was already stunning enough. Now she has put on the beaded ornaments of the Chinese dress, and the whole person is simply soft light, which naturally attracts attention.
No matter who is passing by, you always have to look back and look again when you come to her. Everyone had their own opinions about beauty, but for Lin Weixi's beauty that bloomed to the utmost, even if he didn't say anything, his eyes still revealed their most honest thoughts. Some beauties are like tea, but they need to be refined. Some beauties are like peony, magnificent and jeweled, and Lin Weixi is probably ruby polished to the extreme. You can dislike her, but you can't admit that she is not good-looking.
From the moment Lin Weixi showed up, everyone present uncontrollably focused their eyes on her. Lin Weixi walked all the way, and these eyes followed all the way, until Lin Weixi stood in front of Gu Huiyan, and the men present looked away casually. .
Gu Huiyan also silently praised. I knew that Lin Weixi looks good before, but I always get used to seeing the same face every day. He pays more attention to Lin Weixi's noisy character. At this moment, Lin Weixi was grandly dressed and meticulously crafted, and immediately showed strong lethality.
But Gu Huiyan exclaimed in his heart, and it was over. He has seen too many Huanfeiyanshou and Iron Horse Binghe. Even if Lin Weixi is very beautiful, except for the first moment of surprise, it is difficult for Gu Huiyan to shake Gu Huiyan's mind afterwards. Gu Huiyan didn't say anything, and motioned to Lin Weixi to the carriage behind: "It's okay, get in the car."
Lin Weixi didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, she was really sorry to say: "It's rude to keep you waiting for a long time. Have you waited for a long time? Why don't you let people in and call me, I thought it was not good outside..."
"It's okay." Looking at Lin Weixi's guilty and beautifully contoured eyes, who can get angry, let alone Gu Huiyan wouldn't blame Lin Weixi in the first place. After he finished speaking, seeing Lin Weixi still couldn't let go, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, they should wait for you. Get in the car first."
Lin Weixi was ashamed at first, and couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. This smile was like a gem reflecting the colorful luster under the sun, which made people dizzy. When Gu Huiyan said this, Lin Weixi's heart really became more relaxed. She looked away from Gu Huiyan, stepped back slightly, and bowed to Gu Chengyao and Gu Mingda who followed behind. Even if she greeted them in a unified manner, she brought her maid. Going in the car.
Gu Chengyao inevitably got a little impatient at first, but when Lin Weixi appeared later, Jing Yan immediately suppressed that little impatience. Later, Lin Weixi ran towards King Yan, Gu Chengyao had a strange feeling for some reason, etc. After Lin Weixi and his father had finished speaking, Lin Weixi finally turned his gaze to the back. After a hasty blessing, he turned away. Gu Chengyao felt very subtle in her heart. With so many of them waiting outside, could Lin Weixi only see King Yan?
After Lin Weixi got in the car, he saw that Gao Ran was already seated. Seeing Lin Weixi getting in the car, Gao Ran pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "Why is Miss Lin just here now? Is it too much effort to dress up?"
Lin Weixi didn't like Gao Ran's attitude very much, and deliberately said the time wrong, and was embarrassed to do such a thing. Lin Weixi chuckled softly, sat down tightly, and then carefully pressed the skirt folds one by one: "I don't know that the concubine of the world has come to see the prophet. A stick of incense came early. I really thank you."
Gao Ran smiled and said, "Miss Lin is polite. What my father doesn't like is being late. Miss Lin shouldn't do this in the future."
Lin Weixi snorted softly, too lazy to talk to her. The car shook for a moment, and then grumbled forward, and no one spoke in the car for a while. Gao Ran was secretly proud to lower Lin Weixi's impression score in front of everyone, but she didn't know that it was her behavior that made Lin Weixi a highly anticipated debut.
The world always doesn't need to reason in front of beauties.
The carriage of King Yan's Mansion drove out of the mansion, and all the people along the way, whether officials or pedestrians, gave way. After arriving at the palace gate, the **** dressed in yellow saw the familiar figure, and waited at the door from a distance. Even Lin Weixi's carriage was greatly courteous.
Gao Ran got out of the car first, followed by Lin Weixi. When the **** who led the way saw Lin Weixi, he glanced in surprise, then lowered his gaze, courteous and respectful, just right: "Please greet the concubine of the world, and greet the nobleman. Two The nobleman walked here with the slave."
Xiyuan is just west of Miyagi, next to the Forbidden City, surrounded by waters, and it can be regarded as a royal private water garden. Today's Dragon Boat Race was set up in Xiyuan, and the family members of the Yan Palace immediately caused a great sensation. Princess Shoukang arrived early this morning. Upon hearing the announcement from the palace, her eyes immediately turned to the voice.
As the concubine of King Yan, Gao Ran was surrounded by many people as soon as she appeared. I heard that the concubine of the new world was very popular with her son. This is great news. With the identity of the concubine, Gao Ran was once a concubine. Female origin is nothing. Backed by the British government and Yanwang's two backers, Gao Ran's status skyrocketed several steps. The husbands and wives who had nodded indifferently to Gao Ran at this moment have all changed from the past and are incredibly enthusiastic about Gao Ran. Gao Ran was proud of her heart, she smiled reservedly, and greeted all the ladies one by one, just like a lady.
The ladies enthusiastically approached Gao Ran. Lin Weixi didn't like being too close to people, so he stepped back. She was avoiding the crowd when a voice suddenly came from her ear: "The British government is here."
The world around Lin Weixi seemed to be emptied for an instant. She stood there and stopped for a while before the voice in her ears gradually recovered. Slowly turning her head, she saw that not far away, she saw her skirts draped and pierced, and people from the British government and her familiar lady held hands and asked about the situation cordially. A decent maid next to the British maid-in-law saw Gao Ran and quickly smiled and said, "The concubine is also here."
"It's Grandma Sangu." The Gao family smiled and greeted Gao Ran. The British father-in-law held Gao Ran's hand and took her to say something to the people around her. Gao Ran responded, and the British father-in-law laughed, even the corner of her eyes The pleats are also squeezed out. The ancestors are kind to Sun Xiao, and the bells are the best. Whoever sees or admires such a happy and prosperous family picture.
Even Lin Weixi smiled at this scene. What a twenty-four picture of filial piety, Gao Ran Gao marries, her brother is the only son of the British prince's son, and his children are like this. The Han family is rising in the British prince's house. I heard that he is already helping to manage the prince's house. Housework. There is no wife in the main house, and the husband intends to make his son the heir. The Han family now bears the name of the concubine, but the house is no different from the wife in the house.
Now, who will remember Wei Shi and Gao Xi? Although Wei's family is noble, it is an indisputable fact that Princess Shoukang's Mansion is going downhill. Who would be so short-sighted and unhappy to raise Gao Ran.
It is something that people have known for a long time, but Lin Weixi still feels sad at this moment.
The familiar voices behind them were still talking and laughing, Lin Weixi did not stop, and left without looking back.
The British husband-in-law was surrounded by his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and she was still holding the best-married granddaughter in her hand. It was reasonable to say that she should be what everyone said was a blessed person. But at this moment, her heart jumped suddenly. She looked up and saw a woman wearing a silver and red dress walking away from them. She was obviously a slender and romantic back, but she did not know why she revealed her decisiveness. The British grandfather's heart palpitations inexplicably, as if at this moment, something as important is leaving her, and her proud family, descendants, wealth, and the originally glorious future, from this moment on, have also become mirrored, or unknown.
"grandmother?"
The British lady-in-law recovered and saw Gao Ran looking at her worriedly. The British lady-in-law smiled, insinuating that she was really old and how she was suffering from gains and losses. Her granddaughter climbed up to the Yan King Mansion, and she was also very fond of the Yan King's son. Her precious son became more and more care of the family, so she turned a blind eye to Han's concubine. Everything is going in a good direction. The British government has a strong presence on the outside, and it is harmonious inside. The bright future of the government can be seen with the naked eye. How could she give birth to such unfounded speculations.The corner of Gao Ran's eyes swept Lin Weixi's "lonely" departure, smiled in his heart, and suddenly said a little "Yeah", revealing a little anxious: "Look at my memory, I was busy talking to grandmother, but I forgot the other one. People. Where's Miss Lin? Before I went out, I promised my father that I would take care of Miss Lin today. The first time she comes out, I'm afraid she will admit her birth."
People around heard that a quick-mouthed lady couldn't help but ask: "Miss Lin? Who is this?"
"A daughter of my father's old friend. She is also pitiful. Both of her parents are dead and helpless. My father pityed her for being alone and took her to the palace."
The husbands can tell the story as soon as they hear it. The daughters of the old friends who are sent to the fence, both parents have died, and the life experience is pitiful. These masters laughed and said to Gao Ran: "The concubine of the world is really careful and kind, and always remembers the daughter of the old friend."
Zhongyong Hou Linyong was silent after a blizzard in the capital of the powerful and powerful. These ladies and wives with higher eyes still remember who Zhongyong Hou was, and they would not think in this direction when they heard the name Lin. I really thought this was a pitiful cousin-like character.
The British lady-in-law has a reputation for this. Her eyes are no longer young, and her tone is indifferent, and her tone is light and scrutinized: "Is it the orphan that King Yan brought back some time ago? It is not easy for you to marry into the palace. It's important to have an offspring, so you don't have to worry about anything else."
The British lady-in-law didn't care much about this orphan. A nominal daughter of the Hou Mansion, who had no vision and knowledge, just set up a place to live, isn't it just a sentence? Obviously, the British madam would think this way, all because she had never seen Lin Weixi, nor had she been to the Yanwang Mansion.
Gao Ran originally said it to show his benevolence and ability, but he was embarrassed by the British father-in-law. Gao Ran secretly scolded the British father-in-law for feudal relics, but she and this cheap grandmother were just a love of face, anyway, she didn't treat the British government as her own home, and just put on her face.
Gao Ran thought this way and said, "This girl Lin has a very pitiful background. Both her parents have died and she has no uncles or relatives. She had been staying at her aunt's house before. Later, when the prince saw her alone, he took her to the palace. I I was loved by my grandmother and father since I was born. I didn't know that there were such poor people in the world. When I saw Ms. Lin, I felt more and more compassionate by the family. Being able to have my grandmother's support is the virtue of God to me, so I want to support me more Miss Lin one or two, if the Buddha sees it, Xu Neng will benefit his grandmother and younger brother."
As soon as this remark came out, the British father-in-law repeatedly called good children, and the surrounding ladies also praised Gao Ran for her filial piety. Gao Ran pursed his lips and smiled. After refusing a couple of times, he turned around and asked Ningfu softly: "What about Miss Lin, why have you disappeared in a while? It just so happens that all the ladies are here. I will introduce Miss Lin to my grandmother and Ladies."
Gao Ran remembered her previous life. When she was looking for a relationship to mix into a rich second-generation party, Bai Fumei who took her to the banquet introduced her to others in this way. Gao Ran was anxious and joyful at that time, thinking that she was accepted by that class. Until today, the same scene has happened to her. Gao Ran did not know what was accepted by another class. When introduced in that way, it was a matter in itself. Kind of condescending charity.
Gao Ran looked around but didn't find Lin Weixi. Seeing her like this, the ladies and wives around also looked around: "Xiyuan is a royal forbidden garden, why are you running around..."
They were looking around when suddenly a voice came from behind: "The dragon boat hasn't started yet, what are you looking for?"
When everyone turned around, they all smiled when they saw them: "Happy ancestors."
The people in the British government were unhappy, but they still greeted the princess Shoukang: "please hello to the princess."
The princess Shoukang walked slowly with the help of others. She smiled. Although there are traces of years on her face, she is much more energetic than before, and the whole person looks alive, as if she is several years younger. She smiled and asked, "From a distance, it's up to you to talk about it. Who are you talking about?"
Gao Ran hurriedly wanted to answer, but was intercepted by another quick-mouthed young lady: "The concubine Shi Zi is talking about the woman brought back by His Royal Highness Yan King two days ago. I heard that both her parents have died and she is staying in the palace. The woman is very compassionate. We are boasting the filial piety of the concubine."
"Oh?" Princess Shoukang gave Gao Ran a cold look, with an undisguised mockery in her eyes, "If I hadn't recognized Girl Lin, and listened to the description of Concubine Shizi, I thought King Yan had brought another person back. ."
It is a well-known secret that the Grand Princess Shoukang and Gao Ran and the British government do not deal well with each other, but no one expected that Shou Kang would not show his face in such a big scene today. Everyone's laughter stagnated, Gao Ran was highly sought after in the capital, but she couldn't speak in front of Princess Shou Kang. Princess Shou Kang is Gao Ran's nominal maternal grandmother, and Gao Ran has no qualifications to connect.
The British madam's face sank. She and Shou Kang were old monarchs of the same generation. If Shou Kang were not for the status of a princess, how could the British madam, who had good children and grandchildren, be afraid of her. However, having said that, the identity of the princess is not a joke. The British lady-in-law is not happy, and she has to turn around and say: "The third girl is sincere, what is the matter with the princess, and she is angry with the third girl? "
Shou Kang sneered and ignored him. When he turned around, he looked kind and kind, patted the hand of the person beside him lovingly, and said: "Since you talked about her, then I will show you my new My granddaughter, sister Xi."
When I heard this name, many familiar ladies were stunned, Sister Xi? They looked at the woman next to Princess Shoukang and found that this young girl was beautiful and shiny. Although she had never seen it before, she was obviously not the eldest lady Gao Xi from the British government.
Lin Weixi took a step forward and greeted everyone with a smooth flow: "Madam Wanfu."
Seeing the doubts of the crowd, Princess Shoukang smiled and said, "This child was brought by King Yan. The first time I saw her, I fell in love with her. It was no different from my own granddaughter. I don't know what happened, only a few days later. I didn't see her, just like a few years later. I called her away as soon as I saw her. Sister Xi'er told her that she couldn't leave without saying goodbye, so I brought her to talk to the concubine Shizi. Follow me, there is no need for the imperial concubine to look after her."
The honorable ministers of the capital gave Gao Ran a face, but Princess Shoukang obviously didn't need it. She was ridiculed by Princess Shoukang in front of everyone. She was very uncomfortable and said, "It is a good thing that grandmother and Miss Lin have a relationship. I was kind enough to let a few ladies see Miss Lin, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood by my grandmother."
"Good intentions? Sister Xi can't use your kindness." Shou Kang snorted coldly and said, "She was bereavement when she was young, but her father was named Zhongyonghou by the court. It's easy to buy a property anywhere. King Yan just told me two days ago that Sister Xi was only temporarily staying in the palace. Why did she get so bad when she got here?"
The eldest princess is training juniors, and the ladies quietly raised their eyebrows, and they all smiled and bowed their heads subtly, without interjecting. The British lady-in-law couldn't see it, and frowned: "The third girl is obviously kind, I am afraid that the princess is prejudiced, so it seems that nothing is right. Moreover, what sister Xi, how is she called this name?"
One bite, one sister Xi, the British lady-in-law was frightened, but if she knew it was impossible, she thought Shou Kang was calling Gao Xi.
What is her name? Lin Weixi was sad when he heard that his former grandmother could say such a thing, and the smile on his face also became deserted: "The little girl's name is Weixi, since my dad has called me sister Xi. Listen to Mrs. Guoguo. Means, is my name incorrect? But this is what my father left. Now that father has passed away, as a child, how can he change his name?"
"Change her name, she has a ghost in her heart, can she still manage other people's names?" Shou Kang glanced at the British father-in-law with a bad tone, "Zhongyong Hou sacrificed his life for the country. It was drafted by the emperor and the first assistant. Loyal and brave men. Now there is only this drop of blood left in the Lin family. Take away the domineering style of Mrs. Guo Gong. You can't bully this kind of martyr's widow."
The British lady-in-law has a blue face, and her reputation for bullying orphans and widows is the most unsound, and if the other party is the child of a martyr, she will be impeached accidentally. The British government is indeed gaining momentum now, but most of this is due to the light of the in-laws of the Yan Palace. The Gao family's influence in the court is very flat. The British public wife has been tight for a long time, but still does not dare to risk his son's career. , I could only look softly, and said: "I just heard the name familiar, and I just mentioned it casually. How did Miss Lin understand it as a name change? I just sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person last year. So I went, I regretted it, and I was in a daze when I heard a familiar name."
Lin Weixi lowered his eyes, turning his eyes with disdain and sadness. It's so funny that the British grandma used the dead as a shield. She was attacked by her grandmother with her own death.
Seeing this, the lady standing next to her hurriedly rounded up the field: "It's OK, it's all a misunderstanding, just let it go. This girl is good-looking, this is the first time I have seen such a beauty."
Lin Weixi's mood was ups and downs, and when he saw this, he just pretended to be shy and lowered his head, hiding the strong resentment and anger in his eyes. Princess Shoukang did not want to be unpleasant on a good day. What's more, she is still in the palace now, she also followed with a smile and said: "Sister Xi just came out of filial piety the day before yesterday, and this is the first time she came out to walk around. It made you laugh. ."
"What did the princess say?" The ladies looked at Lin Weixi with eager light in their eyes. It turned out to be the widow of Zhongyonghou, who was very hot in the capital some time ago. I didn't expect that I was so beautiful and easy to talk. Now I have the eyes of the eldest princess, which is amazing. Listening to Gao Ran's narrative just now, they really thought it was a shameless settlement.
Princess Shoukang patted Lin Weixi's hand affectionately, and yelled at the crowd: "You can't despise her just because she doesn't have relatives. Later, when she gets married, I have to carry out the bottom of my pressure box to her. Support the facade."
Of course, everyone smiled and talked about ingenuity, but the wife who has a son in the family is already active. Although Lin Weixi's background is not high, he can't resist the rich dowry of others. She can take away the assets of the entire Hou Mansion. She has the eldest princess to add makeup and looks like this... If he marries back to the mansion in the future, the loyal and brave Lin family The name is also a very useful bargaining chip.
Seeing that the Princess Shoukang had achieved her goal, she smiled, leaving two polite words and took Lin Weixi away. From start to finish, Princess Shoukang didn't make much sense, and she and the British government didn't even bother to pretend to have a face.
Gao Ran forced a smile. After the people walked away, a lady casually complained to Gao Ran: "The concubine is so humble as you said. I really thought this was an ordinary girl. After loyalty, Lord Hou Widow, this status is okay, but she has no relatives, which is a bit of a disadvantage. But she looks good, and these flaws are nothing."
Gao Ran's eyes were already very cold when he heard it, and the other lady also echoed: "Isn't it, I've been in the capital for so many years, how many people have come and gone, this is the first time I have seen such a talented person. Linglong and thorough. It's youth, so young! Hey, what's wrong with you, concubine?"
Gao Ran turned his head and smiled gently: "It's nothing, thinking of Shizi's instructions before going out, I was a little distracted."
Speaking of Gu Chengyao, the ladies immediately put down Lin Weixi and talked about the Yan Palace with great interest. Gao Ran focused on himself again, and then hummed softly in his heart. Gao Ran intended to hold down Lin Weixi's first appearance, as long as the first impression of these ladies was destroyed, Lin Weixi would not want to marry a good person in the future. However, I didn't expect that Lin Weixi would catch up with Princess Shoukang so soon, and Shou Kang was willing to come forward to introduce Lin Weixi. The first introducer to enter the social circle is the most important. But if there is no princess Shoukang's support, how can these high-eyed officials and wives accept Lin Weixi's beautiful and intimidating girl.
Gao Ran had prepared for a long time, but now he got such a result, it was extremely boring in his heart.
Grand Princess Shoukang enthusiastically led Lin Weixi to meet the princes and princes. Although Lin Weixi knew these people, she still took the kindness of her grandmother and graciously greeted the ladies and wives all the way. It took a lot of effort in this lap. If it weren't for Princess Shoukang's lack of energy, she would have to introduce Lin Weixi to Queen Mother Qian.
Lin Weixi and the servants of the Princess Mansion persuaded Princess Shoukang to sit down in the palace. The dragon boat was about to begin after sitting there. Empress Dowager Qian took many female family members to the special table. It was difficult for the court female family members to have amusement. This kind of dragon boat race is already a rare event. Everyone was in high spirits. Although Lin Weixi was not too curious, there were many people in the stands. She was afraid of something wrong, so she was tense and carefully supported Shou Kang.
It was also due to Lin Weixi's tight spirit. I don't know which child was blocked from sight. He was impatient and reached out to push the person in front of him. The female family standing in the front could not have thought that someone would push her behind her, and she could not prevent her from being hit **** the waist. She was already pregnant, and her figure was unstable, and she almost fell into the water. Lin Weixi's eyes looked wrong. , Quickly reached out and pulled. The female relatives exclaimed and planted forward, Lin Weixi grabbed her hand, and drew him dangerously. The woman was young, and after this change, Lin Weixi was so frightened, and Lin Weixi was also very frightened. She was so angry that she asked the child who pushed her with a calm face: "Whose child are you? This kind of thing?"After Gu Huiyan's words were said, the whole water pavilion was quiet, and only the sound of gurgling water outside the house could be heard.
People from Prince Zhao's Mansion walked out reluctantly and said, "It's our little prince."
Gu Huiyan's eyes were sharp, and his voice implies Lei Jun's power: "Let him speak for himself."
Zhao Xiaowang stood up from behind the servant, his voice was inaudible: "It's me." After he said that, he indifferently murmured: "Isn't she not falling? Who will let her block this king? Look at the dragon boat."
"Up to now, you haven't realized your mistake." Gu Huiyan looked at him coldly, "You inherited your father's throne at a young age. I used to pity you for your failure in your childhood, and I didn't discipline you very much. It seems to have harmed you on the contrary, and you are so lawless as to condone you."
King Yan is the head of all kings. Even if the former King Zhao stood here, he was afraid to raise his head when he was told by King Yan, let alone Prince Zhao, a nine-year-old child. Gu Huiyan had gone through several battles, and his whole body was the aura of the dead man's pile. When he saw Gu Huiyan's vertical and cold eyes, Zhao Xiao Wangye immediately started to cry. The cry of the nine-year-old child was sharp and loud, and everyone's stabbed ears hurt, but King Yan was standing here. Whoever dared to move, even the servants of Prince Zhao's mansion did not dare to coax his little ancestor.
The child's sharp cries resounded through Shuixie, and Princess Zhao hurried over. He almost broke her heart when she heard her son's cry from a distance. She pushed the crowd away and rushed to her son's side, clinging to her own lifeblood, and crying: "Son, you are weak since childhood, who made you cry like this when you were wronged? Pity your father went too early. , Leaving only our orphans and widows, there is nowhere to talk about being bullied..."
Gu Huiyan had a headache. He could reprimand his nephew, he could reprimand King Zhao, and even lay his face down to teach to the emperor, but what could he say to the young widow's sister-in-law?
Princess Zhao was still whimpering and crying, and Prince Zhao had his mother backed up, and the crying gradually changed from crying to roaring, and he was very confident.
Gu Huiyan could only restrain his momentum, without personal emotions, and just talk about things: "Even if he is young, he can't ignore people's morals and etiquette, not to mention that he is not young, he is nine years old, and he has reached the time to understand etiquette. Pushing people on a high platform. Fortunately, there is no accident. What should I do in case of an accident? I am so young and I am the only one who ignores human life. I don't care about teaching now. When I grow up, wouldn't it be a bully who will kill you?"
When Princess Zhao heard that Gu Huiyan said this to her son, her heart broke down and she cried more sharply: "Why did my son say that by King Yan? He was just playful and accidentally bumped into a foreign minister who had no rank. My wife, I'm going to be cursed like this by the King Yan. What fish and meat people, Cao Jian lives, King Yan wants to kill our orphans and widows! My son has lost his father at a young age, and he has been sick and weak since childhood. Our mothers are just struggling to survive, and I didn't expect that they would still provoke the Yan King. I am a widow and it's not auspicious wherever I am. I will go and ask the Queen Mother for her life, and I will return to Zhao's place tomorrow!"
Zhao Wangfei was crying for life, and the people around her hurriedly stopped to persuade her to speak nicely. Princess Zhao is still crying, and she doesn't even look at her son who is fat and strong. Where is the frail appearance of her son?
Gu Huiyan held one hand behind him, his face calm, but his eyes were hidden in his eyes. Upon seeing this, Shen Mingda hurriedly came out and said: "The humble generation's son has thanked King Yan, and the son is no problem. Since the little prince is unintentional, then forget it."
Affirming that he did not want Gu Huiyan and Zhao Wangfu to quarrel with Zhao Wangfu, Zhao Wangfei immediately made sense when he heard it, and said: "It was a kid fighting, and there was nothing wrong anyway, so why bother to go online? It scared my son to cry. "
Sure enough, the bear children were all used by bear parents. With Princess Zhao, it is no surprise that the little prince can push people on the edge of the high platform. After all, Gu Huiyan was the only bloodline of King Zhao. After all, he couldn't bear it, so he persuaded him one more sentence: "A kind mother is often a loser. If you indulge him like this, you may harm him in the future."
Princess Zhao couldn't hear people saying that her son was not good. She took his son and gave Gu Huiyan a sharp voice: "King Yan can't see if our Zhao Palace is good or not, how can we not leave my son's bad words?"
The people in the Yan Palace were angry when they heard it, and stared at Princess Zhao with fire-breathing eyes. Princess Zhao shrank, and immediately started crying again: "Master, why did you leave our orphans and widows behind! You sprinkled your blood for the royal family and died guarding the wasteland, but the rest of the royal family did not Lead your love, even if you die, you will be mean to your only son. This is the only blood of our Zhao Palace! Lord, the concubine can't stand you, it's better to die..."
Gu Huiyan had a headache when he was crying, and waved to signal Gu Mingda and others to leave, not to be rude to Wang Zhao's widow. Concubine Zhao was secretly proud of this and went out holding her son. The rest of the people from the Yan Palace stayed in the water pavilion, furious with smoke. King Yan taught Zhao Xiaoye that it was not for his own good, and the result was not for his own sake, so he had to be arranged by Princess Zhao!
Gu Chengyao's face was blue and turned to look at Gu Huiyan: "Father..."
Gao Ran also wrinkled her eyebrows and walked two steps closer, showing sincerely: "Father, Princess Zhao, she only said this when she was anxious. Don't take it to your heart."
Gu Huiyan didn't want to get angry with a woman. He waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to say anything. Lin Weixi suddenly turned around and said to Gu Huiyan: "His Royal Highness, I'm dull, go out to get some air."
Before Gu Huiyan could reply, Lin Weixi walked out quickly.
The few people who remained in the waterside were stunned for a moment, and then they heard a crisp voice from outside: "Princess Zhao, stay."
"Princess Zhao, stay."
Princess Zhao stopped in doubt. When she saw Lin Weixi when she turned around, she didn't care about it, and she didn't look very impatient: "Who are you, dare to call this princess?"
"I am definitely not as good as the princess in terms of status and status, but if I am talking about being a human being, I am still more qualified than the princess Zhao. This time I called you down to teach you the principles of life and child-rearing."
"Bold!"
"The princess is standing here right now, but it's because there was no accident. If the little prince really pushes people off the stage today, there is so deep water under the stands, and Lady Liu is still pregnant, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be a dead body. Fate. But it is pregnant women and unborn children who harm these two kinds of people. The princess and the little prince should accumulate some virtue for their families, and will they not be afraid of retribution to their offspring in the future?"
The mention of retribution in the clan society is a very serious cruel remark, and Princess Zhao immediately furious: "You are presumptuous! Who are you, this princess must be punished for a big crime of disrespect!"
"Speaking of disrespect, I can't say who is plotting the wrongdoing. The little prince was standing behind a group of women, and not far away was the princess Shoukang. The little prince Zhao secretly pushed people, who knows if he wanted to. Push the princess or someone, accidentally admit the wrong person, and let Lady Liu suffer the crime on her behalf. If the princess wants to go to the queen mother to judge, we can go together so that the queen mother can choose what your son wants to do."
Concubine Zhao was speechless, and it was her son who was at fault. She was able to mess with King Yan, but when the Queen Mother was approaching Qian, it must be Prince Zhao's mansion that could not eat. Lin Weixi was so unscrupulously ridiculed that he was sure that Princess Zhao did not dare to make trouble in front of the Queen Mother.
But even so, Princess Zhao couldn't swallow this breath. She looked at Lin Weixi and sneered: "Do you think you can't find out who you are if you don't say your name? I made you regret that you didn't want to, and crying to the Prince Zhao Mansion to plead guilty."
"Sure." Lin Weixi folded his hands in front of him, tilted his head slightly at Princess Zhao, and smiled cutely, "Why is Princess Zhao going to do something to me or to my family? Don't bother Princess Zhao to do something. I went to check and I told you directly, my name is Lin Weixi, my mother has passed away for many years, and my father is the loyal and brave Hou Linyong. Like the former Prince Zhao, he also died for the country and died in battle. If the princess wants to find someone to make a trick, don't have to Hiring too many people, I am the only one in my family. It is enough to come at me. When the princess takes action, I will go to Jing Zhaoyin to beat the drums and sing grievances, saying that it is Zhao Wang's mansion oppressing the martyr's widow. Then, let's see To whom does the people's hearts fall."
"You..." Princess Zhao pointed at Lin Weixi with anger, gritted her teeth with hatred, "Do you think this princess can't help you?"
"Don't dare, I learned from the princess. The princess can run against the king Yan in the name of being killed in war, and I can run against you with my own identity. Princess Zhao is an orphan and a widow, and I am also a martyred orphan. Poor? By coincidence, so am I."
Princess Zhao looked at Lin Weixi with gnashing teeth, almost crushing a pair of silver teeth. Finally, she gave Lin Weixi a fierce look and walked away. Lin Weixi watched Princess Zhao go away with the boy who was doing evil because of his young age. He sneered, not evasive, and said directly to the backs of the people in the Zhao Palace: "The King Yan disciplines Prince Zhao for his good, Wang Hao. If you really love your son, you should take him to apologize to the Shen family and King Yan, and discipline him in the future, instead of helping him to abuse him like this. If not, these evil obstacles will one day be retribution to you."
Princess Zhao couldn't hear people talking about his son the most. She stopped and turned her head. She could feel the poison in her eyes from a long distance away. At this time, Gu Mingda walked to Lin Weixi's side and leaned over respectfully: "Miss Lin, outside It's windy, it's time to go back."
This was King Yan's calm expression but could not be challenged. It was enough to pull the dead man to use the question to him, but if you want to move Lin Weixi, don't blame him for being merciless.
Princess Zhao understood Gu Huiyan's silent deterrence. After all, she could only stamp her feet with anger and left bitterly.
Lin Weixi won a big victory. She sighed into the green water pool and snorted, "Sure enough, she got better when she came out to breathe. The tightness of her chest immediately improved. This kind of person is cursed, let's go, and go back to the house."
Lin Weixi turned around, and across the twisty water corridor, she saw Gu Huiyan standing opposite with someone. Lin Weixi was embarrassed, but still pretended that nothing happened, and walked back down the secluded corridor with a calm expression.
Although the place where Lin Weixi and Concubine Zhao talked is a bit far from the waterside, thanks to the quiet surroundings, even if it is not clear, the conversations can still be heard. Gu Huiyan watched Lin Weixi shuttle through the veranda, her eyes lowered slightly, her movements were so cute that she couldn't see the way she just opened her teeth and claws.
Shen Mingda is now full of a sense of disillusionment, if it weren't for King Yan to stand here, he almost thought he had hallucinations. He saw that Lin Weixi was pretty and pretty. He thought this was a weak Liu Fufeng beauty, but what did he hear just now? Gu Huiyan smiled slightly, wondering whether he was talking to himself or saying to the person beside him: "If the person being targeted is not me, I would enjoy listening to her training."
If Zhou Maocheng must feel the same here, Gu Chengyao thought for a while and nodded silently.
The conversation between Princess Zhao and Lin Weixi could be vaguely heard even in the waterside pavilion. Liu Su Niang looked shocked and admired, standing aloof, feeling very unhappy in her heart.
She was the daughter-in-law of the palace. King Yan was entangled by the bitch, and it was not her who chased him out, but an outsider.
Gao Ran wrung the veil hard, if it were done again, she would definitely not let it go to Lin Weixi.
When things were so troubled, Liu Su Niang was in no mood to go to see the dragon boat. The **** on the emperor's side had come to urge him several times, and Gu Huiyan could not refuse any more, so he was leaving. Gao Ran also took the opportunity to retreat and returned to the female family to continue socializing in the Yan Palace. Lin Weixi, an idler who had nothing to do, stayed with Liu Su Niang.
The two of them sat for a while, and declared that Mingda had gone to the front to take a leave of absence, and then came to pick Liu Su Niang home. Liu Su Niang reluctantly bid farewell to Lin Weixi. Lin Weixi watched Shen Mingda carefully holding Liu Su Niang away, and the infinite warmth could be seen from the back of the two of them. She was the only one left in the water hall, and Lin Weixi continued to sit, sighing into the silent air.
After a while, it started to rain. Wan Xing looked anxious: "Girl, we didn't bring an umbrella, what can we do?"
Lin Weixi looked at the line of rain outside the window, and said, "What can I do, just wait. Yan Wang won't leave me here."
As soon as the voice fell, the sound of footsteps came from the corner, and the umbrella surface gradually raised, and the face of the person who came was gradually presented before Lin Weixi's eyes with the patter of rain.
It's Gu Chengyao.
