141 10,000 taels per pot

Seeing that they were talking enthusiastically about playing without saying anything, Gu Rui opened her mouth when they couldn't find the result, "It's better for us to fly kites. We can write the poem on paper, and then let the maids copy it on the same blank kite without leaving a name, and then let the maids release it. When it is put in the sky, we will take over to see who is taller. The highest one and the person who writes the poem will give a certain reward. How about it?"

"Hey! This is good. Even if there are those among us who cannot write poems well, they are not afraid of being embarrassed. They can still compare who can put it higher and who can put it farther."

"It's really good. If you combine the two, you don't have to sweat."

"Well, just that, I'm good at flying kites."

"Haha, Sister Cao is good at it. I put the kite outside the capital last time, and it was Mr. Cao who found it for you."

"That's not the wind, but it has nothing to do with me."

"Hahaha..., sister, don't be embarrassed. I'm praising you. Who makes me unable to put it high even if I want to."

"I'm envious? Then let's put one together tomorrow?"

"If you want to fly, just let the kite come out, otherwise you will fly out of the capital again, and the younger sister will lose money."

"Okay, it's just a kite. No problem. One day we will go out for a trip together."

"Then please, sister."

The two ladies were talking lively, and Gu Rui had to endure no matter how impatient Gu Rui was. Who made these two special identities? One was the legitimate daughter of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, and the other was the legitimate daughter of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, like her grandfather. No matter how anxious she was, she had to wait until they finished talking.

After a while, the 20- to 10- to 15- or 16-year-old girls were joking, and the kite that Gu Rui had someone pick up was also brought.

Rich families like them all have ready-made blank kites stored in the warehouse for the ladies to draw and fly kites on them. Especially in spring and autumn, it is more than two or three at other times.

Gu Rui asked someone to put the kites in a row, and after the ladies of each family finished writing, they would copy them by the little maid who could write them, and leave the manuscript as evidence.

After busy for a long time, more than twenty white kites flew into the sky, and happy laughter came from outside Baifang Garden.

Gu Yan opened her eyes on the recliner, took down the miscellaneous notes covering her face, and frowned and looked outside the wall not far away.

"Why did you come here?"

Mo Xiang stood aside with his eyebrows down and looked up at the courtyard wall, "I'll take a look."

"Um."

Gu Yan closed her eyes again and lay comfortably on the recliner.

Mo Xiang came back shortly after a while, bowing to her ear and murmured.

"Master, Miss Six and a group of officials came here to fly kites, but I didn't think so. Miss Six looked straight into the sky. I also saw a servant in the bushes next to me. I had seen that he knew martial arts, but his kung fu was not very good. I could deal with him with one hand."

Gu Yan didn't even open her eyes and ordered, "Look at her and see what she is doing."

"Yes, I'll go now."

Mo Xiang turned around and left completely. Gu Yan lay down for a while. When she was about to fall asleep, Mo Xiang was back.

"Master, that servant took action. He shot the kite of the lady from the Xuanwei Mansion and fell into Baifang Garden. Now the lady is clamoring to go into Baifang Garden to pick up the kite."

Gu Yan opened her eyes when she heard this, and a cold flashed by.

"I said, it turns out that I'm waiting for me here, haha, interesting!"

Gu Yan touched her chin and didn't know what she thought of. She narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, and ordered: "Take the kite to her, don't open the door. You can turn it out from the wall. They can just come in. Let Madam Qiao go out to deal with them and see what they want to do?"

"yes."

After Mo Xiang left, Gu Yan returned to her original state, lay lazily on the recliner chair and closed her eyes to rest. After a moment, she heard the noise outside Jingxin Pavilion getting louder and louder, mixed with Gu Rui's voice.

Gu Rui stared at Mo Xiang in anger and refused to speak. Several of the officials beside her looked at Mo Xiang with disdain and mocked: "You, a slave, dare to block our way. Don't you know what your identity is?"

"What is the identity? I am just a slave next to the princess. It's a joke that she looks down on us."

"Who here is not higher than her? She looks down on us? Why should she?"

"By the princess's identity."

"What's wrong with the princess? Miss Gu is not a royal family member, and her identity is not much higher than ours."

"Who said no? It's just that some people can't see their position clearly and always treat others as fools."

"I think I look down on others if I claim to be a high status. Even the servants around me have this face. It's really ugly."

....

The ladies pulled Gu Yan in with one word and another. When they were happy, they laughed twice, and looked at people with contempt and anger.

They were both afraid of Gu Yan, but at the same time they were envious and unwilling. They were both the ladies of the government. They looked down on her as a local bun who had returned from the border, but Gu Yan became the princess in one step, and her identity suddenly increased a lot, and was no longer something they could reach.

Especially a few days ago, my parents said to them with a desperate attitude that they should not offend Gu Yan, they should only be close to each other, learn from Gu Yan and see how good they are and how strong they are. They are a model for the ladies in various prefectures in Beijing. They also said that Gu Yan has a grove in her heart and has her own ideas. She can speak for women without fear of gossip and even give them a face.

Anyway, Gu Yan is like a fairy descending to the earth from her parents. Everything is good and everything is better than them.

Who can convince her parents that she said this? Who can not be jealous? Especially the ladies of her age are extremely jealous of her, but at the same time they are extremely afraid.

Not only are Gu Yan's outstanding abilities but they are not as good as her, but they unconsciously feel that they are inferior to her, but also because the strength shown by Gu Yan in the competition venue makes them afraid.

She knows martial arts, she has killed people, she has gone to the battlefield, and she has gone deep into the barbarians. Such Gu Yan makes them deeply afraid, and even her look can make them frightened.

It is this mentality that makes them act arrogant when facing Gu Yan, as if doing so can get rid of the fear and humility that Gu Yan brings to them.

Mo Xiang's frowning frightened the ladies who were counting Gu Yan's not, and soon there was no sound on the scene.

"How is my lady not something you can say."

Mo Xiang wanted to refute a few words, but she was not good at speaking and couldn't figure out what to say after holding it in for a long time. She had to refute them first without the right to say behind their backs that Gu Yan was not.

When the ladies saw Mo Xiang getting angry, they didn't dare to say anything more. They had to look at Gu Rui and let her continue talking. The key was to let them in.

Before everyone turned around, Gu Rui quickly lowered her head and refused to look at them. She wrapped her fingers around her handkerchief and wrapped them all around her fingers. Her absent-minded look made everyone angry.

Mo Xiang didn't want to pay attention to the lawsuit between them, so she took out a kite from behind and handed it to everyone, "This is a kite that fell in Baifang Garden, you can take it."

Only then did everyone put their eyes on Mo Xiang again and looked at her in surprise.

How did she take it out? Why didn’t they see the kite behind her? So many of them didn’t see it. Are they collectively blind?

Mo Xiang was a little impatient and handed the kite to a lady closest to her, and flew into Baifang Garden with her tiptoes.

"Hiss, fly, fly over."

"It's light skills again. This time I can see clearly. She really flew over. I'm afraid my brother can't beat her with such skills."

"It's amazing, I'd love if I could be like her."

"Well, if I could do it, I wouldn't be bullied by the two concubines. I would see if they dare to be arrogant when they see them."

"Hmph, you are so short-sighted. Are you amazing in your skills? You are still a servant."

"That's right, women should be honest and virtuous. What does it look like when fighting and killing?"

"Staying with husband and children is what we women should do. Can we still get married if we are like her?"

"Forget it, don't say it anymore. Each has its own benefits. No matter what, the kite has been retrieved. Let's see who wrote the poem."

"Yes, yes, look, I agreed to give you a reward. We can pick up a lot of good things just now, and we can get a lot of them evenly."

....

Gu Rui looked at the group of little girls chattering for a long time but no one wanted to enter Baifang Garden. She immediately reminded her: "The kite has been retrieved, but it is a pity that I failed to enter Baifang Garden to let you appreciate the flowers inside."

Gu Rui shook her head pretending to be regretful, then lowered her head, as if she felt embarrassed, and instantly raised her head again.

"I'm so sorry. You can't appreciate so many beautiful famous flowers. It's mine."

"How can you blame me? Princess Huairou is too stingy. I guess she was afraid that we would enter Baifang Garden to appreciate the flowers and let this slave send it out."

"That's right, I'm very scheming."

"Isn't there just a few beautiful flowers? What's so great about them? No matter how beautiful flowers are, it's useless to no one appreciate them. But the identity is higher than ours, and so many of us can't compare to her?"

"What's the hard thing to go in and see the flowers? She is the princess and I am still the serious county lord! I just go and have someone knock on the door. I'm sorry, Gu Yan dares not refuse to agree."

A girl in an apricot yellow dress glanced at everyone proudly, let go of Gu Rui's hand that had been holding her, and signaled the maid beside her to knock on the door.

Gu Rui was overjoyed when she heard this, but her face was not visible. She bit her lower lip and looked at the county lord Jiahe in embarrassment, then looked at the others, trying to come forward to stop him but never moved.

After a few knocks on the door, a question came from inside, "Who is it?"

Gu Rui had achieved her goal and wanted to enter Baifang Garden quickly. When she heard a question coming from inside, she immediately replied: "I am Gu Rui, and I will bring guests to enjoy the flowers."

The door did not open directly as everyone thought, but the people inside spoke again.

"I'm sorry, Baifangyuan is the residence of our second wife and lady. The wife is in poor health. Miss Jiu should not come forward. I also ask Miss Liu to leave with her distinguished guest."

"Who are you? How dare you stop us? Do you know who we are? Even if you don't know, you should know the sixth lady in your Hou Mansion? She is the serious daughter of the Hou Mansion of Dingyuan Hou Mansion. The entire Hou Mansion belongs to her. Where can she go?"

The county lord Jiahe is the legitimate daughter of Prince Yu, and is the cousin of Emperor Wen of Wei. She always looks arrogant because she is a royal daughter. She has a grudge against Gu Yan, a daughter of a minister, who can be promoted to a princess. Now she is blocked outside the door, which makes her angry. Therefore, her tone of answering is not good, and she does not wait for anyone to answer, and continues: "Open the door quickly, I am the county lord Jiahe, let your princess come out to greet you."

The people inside seemed to be thinking. After a moment, the door of Baifangyuan opened from the inside, and an old woman in blue and silk walked out. Judging from her headdress and dress, she should be a good woman in the second wife.

"Are you a servant from the second room?"

County Lord Jiahe looked up arrogantly and looked at Madam Qiao. She was not as gentle as a woman should have. Her attitude was so arrogant that people couldn't like it. However, Madam Qiao disagreed and still respectfully gave a palace ceremony to Madam Jiahe. Then she stood up and replied: "My father, please pay tribute to Madam Jiahe. If you go back to Madam, I am the madam of the princess. May I ask the county lord, are you going to Baifang Garden?"

Jiahe frowned, "Well, let your princess come out."

Madam Qiao smiled and replied, "My Madam, my princess is in a custody place. It is really inconvenient to come out to enter the county lord. If the county lord wants to go to Baifang Garden to appreciate the flowers, it's just that. However, I would like to forgive me and the ladies. The flowers and plants in Baifang Garden are very expensive, and some flowers are not uncommon, but they are carefully selected by my master and young master from thousands of miles away. It has been less than three days since they were planted. It is still very delicate. The princess is a flower lover, so no one is allowed to destroy it. If you have any one you like, you can say a pot of one thousand taels, and you can send it to your house."

Madam Qiao said softly about Baifangyuan's rules without hesitation, and slapped Gu Rui in the face in a few words.

Everyone looked at Gu Rui with questions in their eyes.

Didn’t she say that Baifangyuan was prepared by her mother? Why did this woman say that it was prepared by Lord Gu? Who planted the flowers and plants?

Gu Rui didn't expect that the flowers and plants in Baifang Garden were planted by Gu An's family themselves, and she thought they were all prepared by her mother.

Yes, it’s just a concubine’s son, it would be strange if her mother could prepare so well for them.

But Madam Qiao said this and disrupted all her plans. She wanted to encourage these people to pick flowers in Baifang Garden. If Gu Yan came out to stop her, she would beat and drum while playing, and Gu Yan would have a conflict with these people. The consequence was that these people didn't like Gu Yan, thinking she was stingy, and Gu Yan also offended the ladies of the officials in Beijing. It would be difficult for her to contact these people in the future to return to their circle.

If Gu Yan doesn't stop her, her garden will be picked up by these people, which can be regarded as revenge on her revenge for taking her away for breakfast.

But she thought it was pretty good, but Madam Qiao accidentally destroyed it. She said she had a pot of 1,000 taels of silver. How could she encourage these people to pick flowers? Madam Qiao said it was the flowers and plants brought by Gu An and Gu Zhehan. If she was shameless, she would be unreasonable to pick things from her own things.
