Chapter 17

After Gu Qingzhu got on the carriage, she found that compared to the abnormality when she met Qi Xuan for the first time, she could calm down the second time.

I thought I could get rid of him completely by going back to the past, but who would have thought that God would make people so that the person she wanted to get rid of the most would come back together. Fortunately, she has not had any relationship with him in this life, and she still has a chance to get rid of him.

Moreover, Gu Qingzhu believes that as long as he has a firm attitude, Qi Xuan has no reason to waste time on her, because he also came back with the memories of the previous life. He almost lost the regrets of the Marquis of Wu'an in the previous life. He would never allow it to happen again in this life. He has ideals and ambitions. He can avoid trouble with the memories of the two lives and seek a brighter future for the Marquis of Wu'an and himself. Gu Qingzhu is just a very small part of his life map in his previous life. Even if he wants to save it, he will definitely not invest too much energy.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingzhu's always depressed mood finally became cheerful and calmly accepted the fact that Qi Xuan was also reborn with her.

Gu Yuyao sat in the carriage and looked at Gu Qingzhu quietly. Seeing that she was wearing a very simple dress, the collar and sleeves were decorated with a few slender Dinglans, without any decorations, and the bun on her head was fixed with only a white jade hairpin. But in such a simple dress, she showed her lightness and elegance. Before going to the village, Gu Qingzhu was dressed quite rich. Shen wanted to wear all the most beautiful silk in the world on Gu Qingzhu, which was bright and bright, and was extremely rich, but it was inevitable that she looked a little vulgar. But now Gu Qingzhu has ice skin and jade bones all over her body, elegant and unconventional. Compared with this, her appearance is not outstanding, and she is better at matching. Her mother taught her how to show aloofness and cover up the fact that she is not rich.

Thinking of the afflictions in the early years, Gu Yuyao snorted inadvertently. This cold snorted back Gu Qingzhu's thoughts, looked at Gu Yuyao, looked up and down a few times, then moved away his eyes, reached out to lift the car chain and looked at the crowded street, and said inadvertently:

"The stamen hairpin on my sister's head looks familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere."

Gu Yuyao's hands hidden in her sleeves were unconsciously held together, but her face was not surprised. She stroked her hair and replied to Gu Qingzhu: "What my sister said? This is what my mother bought for me at Duobaolou a few days ago. There are many people buying jewelry in Duobaolou. There are nothing strange about my sister who has seen it."

Gu Qingzhu put down the curtain of the car, looked as if he had been persuaded, nodded and stopped talking.

The sudden silence made Gu Yuyao feel a little uncomfortable. She was indeed a little guilty about this hairpin, but this was the most inconspicuous piece of the pile of luxurious jewelry. She had never seen Shen and Gu Qingzhu wear it before, so Gu Yuyao couldn't help but put it on it. She just didn't want to attract attention, so she wore it back to her hair. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhu called it out, and she couldn't help but regret that she couldn't calm down.

But in just a moment, I felt relieved. Not to mention that Gu Qingzhu could not recognize this hairpin. Even if she knew it, she would not be able to produce any evidence to prove that the hairpin belonged to Shen. She had checked it many times before she was worn, and she was sure that there was no mark from the Shen family on it, so she dared to wear it.

The carriage was bumpy and arrived at the Rong'an Marquis Mansion. The two girls got off the carriage. Outside the door, Song Jinru's maid was already waiting, and they were introduced into Song Jinru's courtyard. The Rong'an Marquis Mansion was a little higher than Zhongping's Mansion, but the courtyard layout was not better than Zhongping's Mansion. The reason was that Zhongping's Mansion was always managed by Shen, and Shen's family was quite well-off. Therefore, any good thing, as long as it was good, no matter whether it was expensive or not, as long as it was not exceeding the rules, it could be put into the mansion. Not to mention the magnificent nature, it was indeed difficult to match the ordinary mansion.

When Gu Qiuniang married into the Song family, she was a matchmaker who was personally protected by Duke An Guo’s wife. She was also very successful. After she got married, she gave birth to a pair of children for the prince. The prince was also a kind person. To this day, she only had two maids around her, not even a concubine. The life of the Song family is quite good.

"You are finally here, I'll wait for you for a while."

Song Jinru welcomed the hospital out of the hospital and held the two of them affectionately. After entering the door, he found that it was not only them who came here today, Song Xiuer and Qi Xiuzhi, and Miss Zhang San, Miss Liu Er, and Song Jinru introduced the two to the ladies. These ladies knew Gu Qingzhu and had dated before, but they were not very familiar with Gu Yuyao. After listening to Song Jinru's introduction, everyone knew that she was the new daughter of Zhongping Bo Mansion, but she knew but didn't say it out loud.

The girls gathered together, just chatting, drinking tea, and talking. Gu Qingzhu was thinking more about Ren'entang now. He had made an appointment with the old doctor to go there ten days later, but who would have thought that he would meet Qi Xuan. He was useless and had been sick for seven or eight days. He was missing the appointment time, so she asked Hongqu to say, hoping that the old man would not mind.

"Miss Four, I heard from my mother that your mansion is about to be overjoyed?" Miss Zhang San is a round girl, the daughter of Taifuqing. She has a marriage relationship with the Song family and is a little moved on weekdays. She has a good relationship with Song Jinru and the others and speaks casually.

Qi Xiuzhi was stunned and puzzled: "What a joy?"

Miss Zhang San looked like 'Don't hide it from me': "When the war is a great victory, Wu'an Hou is going to return to the court. Why isn't he very happy?"

After Ban Shi returned to the court, the court would inevitably reward Youjia. It was said that Concubine Qi would be appointed as the queen, and the reputation of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion would inevitably be even more prosperous. These things cannot be said explicitly, but everyone knows them.

Qi Xiuzhi smiled and said, "Oh, I don't know much about this, but I seem to have heard from my mother that my father is coming back."

Qi Xiuzhi is a concubine. The mother she said was not her biological mother, but her legitimate mother, Mrs. Yun, the wife of Wu'an Hou.

"I heard that the prince of the noble family also went to war with the marquis this time, but it's true?" Miss Liu Er asked Qi Xiuzhi with his eyes lit up.

This topic is obviously more popular among girls.

"Yes, my elder brother went to the battle with my father. When he first went to the battlefield, his family was very worried about him, but my elder brother is very powerful. After winning the battle, he will return to Beijing first."

Qi Xiuzhi mentioned Qi Xuan, her brother, and her face was full of pride.

After hearing this, the girls were surprised: "The prince has returned to Beijing? I haven't heard of this. Sister Xiuzhi, are you telling us, what's going on with the prince? Do you have any interesting experiences?"

Gu Qingzhu sat next to her, and seemed to see her from more than ten years ago in the expressions of these girls. At that time, she was like the girls, who had been living through her girlhood by listening to the deeds of the Marquis of Wu'an, Qi Xuan.

When he was young, Qi Xuan was the dream of thousands of girls in the capital. He was handsome and came from a wealthy family. He was both civil and military. The most important thing was not to be limited by the secular vision, to be apart from wealth and righteousness, and to be the example of noble children in the capital. As long as the name Qi Xuan was mentioned, no one could say it was not a bad idea. Some people even said that it was not an exaggeration to be such a man, even Princess Shang. Because of this, when Qi Xuan got married and married her with such a reputation, it was a surprise to everyone.

She was famous for her, and by pleasing the old lady of Wu'an Marquis's house, she was able to marry into Wu'an Marquis's house and become Qi Xuan's wife. Qi Xuan didn't love her, she didn't love her at all. He loved her cousin from his distant aunt's house. If it weren't for Gu Qingzhu's quarrel, Qi Xuan might have married his cousin and lived a double-living life. It wouldn't be that later, her distant cousin married away from another place and was sold to a place of love by her husband. He couldn't stand it and chose to stay away from the capital for her to save her. In the end, he was plotted against her.

It is precisely because of his cousin that Qi Xuan hated Gu Qingzhu more and more. The more capable she is, the stronger she is, and the more she is loved by the Marquis and the old lady, the more he resists her, and the more he feels that she is a scheming and vicious woman.

In fact, from Qi Xuan's standpoint, he seems to be nothing wrong.

Marrying her was a forced force, and she was forced by the old lady of the Marquis of Wu'an. The old lady liked Gu Qingzhu very much. Of course, it was also because Gu Qingzhu deliberately pleased her. Because the old lady recognized Gu Qingzhu and threatened Qi Xuan to marry her with her life. It was normal for Qi Xuan to think that she was a scheming woman.

Gu Qingzhu had already been ready. She wanted to marry to the Marquis of Wu'an first, so that she could get rid of Qin's control, and also stay with her beloved him. Even though Qi Xuan didn't like her at first, she still hoped to do everything best through her own efforts and make him fall in love with her. Unfortunately, her wish was not fulfilled and she could not make Qi Xuan fall in love with her for more than ten years.

This cannot be entirely blamed on Qi Xuan. In the final analysis, she was greedy and wanted to stay by his side, which caused her to pay a huge price. Even the child in her belly could not have the opportunity to open her eyes and see the world.

The girls' silver bell-like laughter pulled Gu Qingzhu back. Fortunately, she sat next to her, and no one noticed that her face was wrong, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The girls' topic finally moved away from Qi Xuan and changed to clothes and jewelry.

"I will use the rose essence that Yu Yao gave me a few days ago today. You can smell it."

Song Jinru lifted her arm up and sent it to Miss Zhang beside her. Miss Zhang sniffed it lightly and nodded in praise: "Well, it's really fragrant. You can tell it's the rose essence of Rongbaotang when you smell it."

"Yes, it's the rose essence from Rongbaotang. Yuyao gave me a box of eight bottles in front of me, which is so fragrant." Song Jinru said while handing a thankful look to Gu Yuyao beside her.

After Song Jinru finished speaking, the girls around her were excited again: "The rose essence in Rongbaotang costs more than fifty taels per bottle. During the Chinese New Year, I finally begged my mother to buy me a bottle, but the third lady actually took eight bottles at one time. She is so generous."

Gu Yuyao smiled slightly: "I can't bear to use it normally, but who makes my sister Jinru like it?"

Song Jinru was even happier when she said this. She walked over and hugged Gu Yuyao's arm and said cutely: "It's better for Sister Yuyao to be nice to me. I will definitely not waste it."
