143 Self-knowledge

Tao Jiaming asked the two of them to help him and leave Baifangyuan quickly. Everyone knew that Gu Yan was angry and was afraid of offending her again, so they immediately retreated outside Baifangyuan.

At this moment, two maids came from the depths of the flowers. One of them was Mo Xiang, and the other had never seen him, but he heard her say, "Please stay, ladies, please stay. My princess has something to tell you."

Everyone stopped immediately when they heard this. Even Tao Qi, who was about to reach the door of Baifangyuan and the two young men who were supporting him, stopped, and all looked back at her.

The visitor first gave a blessing, and then smiled and said, "I am Mei Xiang, the princess's personal maid. The princess is passing the message. The princess said that if you want to come to Baifang Garden to enjoy the flowers, you are welcome at any time. Please give me a post next time and wait until the Baifang Garden is arranged before you invite you to come over. In addition, now the lady and the princess are not in good health, and I am afraid that they will not be able to entertain you for the time being. I also ask you all for forgiveness. After my princess recovers, I will definitely invite you to enjoy the flowers. Miss Six, my princess has invited me, and I will also ask Miss Six to move. These guests and servants and Mo Xiang will be sent on behalf of Miss Six."

Gu Rui was angry when she heard this, "Who are you? Can you take the guests on my behalf? Are you a slave qualified?"

Mei Xiang was not afraid of her at all, and replied calmly: "I am nothing, and I am not qualified, but I must not ignore the princess's words. After all, she is the master of my servant. As for the others..., I'm sorry, I really didn't care."

Mei Xiang instantly turned from calling herself a "slave" to "me", obviously she didn't take Gu Rui seriously, which made Gu Rui even more angry. She had been frustrated early in the morning to the present and instantly burst out. She stepped forward and raised her hand and rushed towards Mei Xiang's face.

"Be presumptuous! I will teach you a good lesson for Gu Yan."

Mei Xiang didn't move, her eyelids didn't raise her eyes, and she stood there with her eyebrows down and her eyes calmly. However, Gu Rui's hand did not touch her, and Mo Xiang was robbed halfway.

"What are you doing? Let me go."

Mo Xiang grabbed Gu Rui's wrist and kept moving. She squinted her eyes and looked at her. The cold and cold voice sounded.

"Miss Six is ​​so angry. This is Baifang Garden, not your Liuxiangyuan."

When Mo Xiang mentioned her name, Gu Rui became even more angry. She thought that she was a legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion. The name of the court was similar to the name of the servants around Gu Yan. Isn’t this an insult to her? She wanted to change her name and her mother refused to let her, saying that she would keep it and insult Gu Yan. Anyway, her name of the court had been raised long ago, and it has not been a day or two, but the servants around Gu Yan have only been here for a few days, so it is not necessarily the one who is embarrassed!

"Hmph! So what if it isn't? This is Dingyuan Hou Mansion, my home. What are you? How dare you hold me and don't let go?"

Mo Xiang was unmoved, turned her head to look at Mei Xiang, and signaled her to speak.

Mei Xiang raised her head as Mo Xiang looked over. She grasped the time just right, and obviously she had such a tacit understanding because she cooperated frequently.

Mei Xiang smiled and stepped forward, "Miss Six is ​​a little angry. If you want to make a noise, you have to go back to your yard to make noise. What's the point of arguing here? No matter how bad the lady is, your second aunt, it's really unconventional to shout here. I know that Miss Six is ​​not qualified to send you a guest because I am a servant, but the princess is waiting for you to talk, so what's wrong with me sending you on your behalf? Who hasn't asked the servant to send you a passerby? The master is busy and has a lot of things, and they are all the guests sent by the most capable people around me. I am also the maid next to the princess. What's wrong with me sending you a guest on your behalf?"

Gu Rui was choked by Mei Xiang's words, and turned to look at the ladies and men present, hoping that they could say something for her, and showed her tears and her eyes, her eyes that were so embarrassed that she was thinking.

But Gu Rui's performance was in vain. She wiped her tears for a long time but no one stood up to speak for her. No one opposed the maid sending them out. They all looked at the sky and earth to discuss in groups, and no one paid attention to her.

Everyone was not foolish, and they all reacted at this time. From Gu Rui's proposal to fly a kite today until she has been led by her nose. What is the beauty of the flowers in Baifang Garden? It would be a pity that she could not take everyone to appreciate the flowers. After flying the kite, the kite string broke inexplicably and fell into Baifang Garden. How could it be so coincidental? The lady of the Xuanwei Mansion family flew the highest kite. When the wind was blown, it would probably blow out of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion. Why would it fall into Baifang Garden again? If there was nothing tricky about it, they wouldn't believe it.

The same is true for these young masters. Why did they bring them to the backyard? It would be fine if they came to the backyard. With the master's family personally leading them, there were so many people together, and their elders were there, it was not considered a violation of the rules.

But if you are led here by someone with a heart, it is another matter. What does Gu Wenhua want to do? Did he know what or was he also used? As one of the young masters of the aristocratic family in Beijing, they didn’t have much to say anything, nor did they stay in the backyard anymore. Even if they had something to ask, it was not at this time, and there was time and opportunity in the future.

No matter how bad it is, I don’t want to be used now. It’s not good to be used. It’s not good to be used, and it’s not good to be led by someone as a fool. No matter what, Gu Rui shouldn’t be involved in them. If there is anything between their brothers and sisters, they will solve it themselves. If they use them as guns, it’s just that they are wrong.

Therefore, no one went to see Gu Rui, and no one spoke for her. Even Cheng Lingxiao, the youngest son of the Duke of the Gu Rui, who was engaged to Gu Rui, looked at her with disappointment and turned around and left.

With Cheng Lingxiao, the fiancé, the others were not embarrassed, and they said goodbye and left, leaving only Gu Rui, who was confused, looked at their backs on the spot, and could not believe that these people left her here.

Mei Xiang's steps did not move, and she did not give them to her as she said, but looked at Gu Rui with a sneer and rolled her eyes.

"Miss Six, please, the princess has been waiting for a long time."

Gu Rui glared at Mei Xiang angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "You good slave, you dare to treat me like this, please wait for me."

After saying that, Gu Rui headed towards Jingxin Pavilion where Gu Yan lived, and walked quickly, leaving the maid and the woman who followed her far away.

"Hmph! I don't know what it means to treat myself as a scallion. If the master and his wife weren't going to leave this broken place now, would it be her turn to show off? The lady is too, why did she ask her to go back? She would definitely have nothing to say when she goes, and she would have to make her angry."

Mei Xiang didn't go to see the guests off and rolled her eyes and muttered to Mo Xiang, but Mo Xiang was used to it, and Mei Xiang was used to it. It didn't matter whether she said it or not, as long as someone listened to it.

The two ignored Gu Rui's maid and old lady all the way, saying and laughing, and muttering a few more words about Gu Rui's faults. The people around Gu Rui who heard Mei Xiang talked throughout the whole process rolled their eyes and glared at her several times.

Mei Xiang didn't take it seriously and returned to Jingxin Pavilion with a smile. When she walked into the yard, she saw Gu Rui and Gu Yan talking. Compared to Gu Rui's yelling in anger, Gu Yan became much calmer.

She is worthy of being her master. She is never anxious at any time. Even if someone comes to provoke her, she can calmly fight with others.

Gu Rui's eyes were red and she clenched her fists and said, "Gu Yan, are you asking me for trouble?"

Gu Yan was lying on the recliner without her eyes open. The ignorance of Gu Rui's attitude made Gu Rui unable to suppress her anger.

Gu Yan closed her eyes and stopped looking at her, but started talking.

"The breakfast is for your own good. Even if there is something in the mansion, we must ensure that the masters eat normally. Can we keep the master hungry because of busyness? It's better not to have such a slave. Sister Liu's meals may be comparable to the old lady, right? If the old lady knows, the consequences...

Some things are not something that others don’t know without saying, everyone has eyes, and they are not stupid. If someone is determined, it does not mean that you will let you do this. If you lose money in the future, you will suffer.

As for the purpose of your inducing those ladies here, I can also guess some of it. It’s just that I’m unwilling to give up on my breakfast, and I’m jealous of the flowers and plants in my yard. I have what you don’t have, and I have everything you have, so you are angry.

Haha, Sister Six, calling you "Six Sister Six" is giving you face. If you don't want to say "Six Sister Six", I don't mind calling you "Six Sister Six". If you are not afraid of embarrassing, I will not be afraid. Anyway, everyone knows that I have no rules, so I won't be surprised. Instead, I will guess what you did so that I don't like, and I don't even call my sister.

I just want to tell you, be honest, don’t put your ideas on me. I hate people who plot against me, and I hate self-righteous people even more."

Gu Rui gritted her teeth and sneered, "Gu Yan, don't be too self-righteous. The emperor appointed you as a princess as just a use of you and taking you as a target. Don't think that you will have a higher status than others. In my eyes, you are nothing. You are just the legitimate daughter of a concubine's son. Compared to me, you are still far behind."

Gu Yan opened her eyes helplessly and looked up at her, then shook her head.

"There are many fools in the world, and they don't know the world. They are too narrow-minded. It's your fault. Your parents don't have that high vision. They are fascinated by the world and raise you too selfish. Gu Rui, are you brainless? Even if the emperor used me to grant me a princess, the fiefdom and identity are real things. Do you know how much tax the fiefdom will be sent this year? Do you know that my identity will only be higher than now, and will never be lower than now? Do you know that as long as my father and brother are there, as long as I don't commit suicide, I will be better than you until I die.

What's wrong with the concubine's son? The concubine's son is not in life? The concubine's son cannot be better than the legitimate son? Your father is the legitimate son, but it's a pity that he is nothing except this title without a rank. What about you? You are the legitimate daughter of Dingyuan Hou, but you have another identity, that is, the legitimate daughter of the seventh rank official, and do you know what this means? It means that you are not even as well as the nanny around me, and she is still a sixth rank female official!"

Gu Rui almost fainted when she heard Gu Yan put her and Madam Qiao together, pointing at Gu Yan and said in a trembling voice: "You, you, you are arrogant, I am your sister, how dare you talk to me like this?"

Gu Yan frowned, "Don't you understand people's words? At this time, I remembered that it was my sister, why did you go long ago? Didn't you lead people into Baifangyuan to cause damage? Can you be called my sister? Why don't I dare to talk to you like this? What is your identity? In the Quan Dingyuan Hou Mansion, only my mother's identity is higher than me, and others, including my father, are only at the same level as me."

Gu Yan was not wrong, she and Gu An were indeed on par.

The founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty was careful when he rewarded meritorious ministers. He did not use the rank of the title of the title of the time, but instead awarded the title without the title.

At that time, the people sitting on each title were all meritorious officials, and they were also high-ranking officials, all of whom were first-rank and second-rank. They didn't care much, but instead inspired their next generation to work hard to improve themselves and sit in that position when they strive for the title.

The founding emperor gave preferential treatment to his family, and his brothers, sisters and children were of rank, so the princess naturally had ranks.

Gu Rui stood in the yard blankly and looked at Gu Yan for a long time before she realized that Gu Yan was right. Except for Tang, a first-class lady in the family, only her second uncle could compete with her. The rest was not as high as hers.

Gu Yan rolled her eyes, and was unwilling to talk to her anymore, so she waved her hand and asked her mother Liu to send Gu Rui out in person.

Gu Rui returned to her yard and sat blankly on the chair without making a sound, which obviously made Gu Yan very difficult.

The two maids around her wanted to persuade her but didn't dare to step forward. Their ladies had a bad temper. They were also afraid that she would lose their temper and spread all their anger on them. They had to stand aside as quails and shrink their necks as if they didn't know anything.

Tang had known what Gu Yan did for a long time, and said to Zhao's mother beside him with a smile: "It's good, and it's good to hit her. It's not easy to mess with. It saves all the time to make trouble. She's worthy of it? No one knows at all. I really don't know how my sister-in-law taught her? Zhao, hurry up on the kitchen, we should open the fire ourselves, so that Yan'er will have to look at the face of the person next time. You can go to the Qingdong Courtyard and tell Mrs. Hou what happened this morning. Also, tell her that we will open the fire ourselves in the future and let her send the monthly meals."

Zhao's mother agreed to go out. Tang leaned leisurely at the desk table, sneering and glanced at the pastries delivered from the large kitchen on the table.

"This little money is also saved, it really makes people look down on you."

The banquet at Dingyuan Hou Mansion ended soon in embarrassment. After receiving the notice of Gu Rui causing trouble, Yu rubbed his forehead with a headache. He did not dare to delay, so he quickly went to Rong'antang and suppressed the old lady's anger first.

After being scolded by the old Qu family, Yu walked out with his eyebrows down and quickly walked towards the Liuxiangyuan where Gu Rui lived.

The mother and daughter didn't know what they said, so the next day Gu Rui changed the name of Liuxiangyuan.

This time, the name sounds nice, but it almost made Gu Yan laugh.

"Water, among the clouds?"

Mei Xiang curled her lips disdainfully and nodded, "Yes, it's called Shuiyunjian. I heard it was taken from the poem "Yuchunlou". But I don't understand. But her yard is like a paradise on earth? It's not as good as the lady's yard."

Gu Yan did not listen to Mei Xiang's words, but repeatedly savored Gu Rui's newly-launched courtyard name in her heart.
