301 Proud(1/2)
"Little God!" Suddenly, a sharp and excited female voice suddenly rang behind the crowd.
A middle-aged woman pushed the people around her and walked out of the crowd, walked straight to the old man, looking at Gu Yanfei standing on the steps with bright eyes, and recognized that the girl in front of her was the little god from Chengtian Gate.
"Brother-in-law, this is a little fairy." The middle-aged woman pointed at Gu Yanfei excitedly, and she was extremely excited. She said to the old man in gray, "Miss Gu saved the eldest princess, and saved the lives of my Shuanzi and many children!"
"You go home quickly. The little god is boundless. She must be wrong. Your great-grandson may really be in trouble!" The middle-aged woman kindly advised the old man.
She went to Chengtian Gate with Zhang Shusheng to file a lawsuit against the emperor that day. She had seen Miss Gu Er display her magical powers with her own eyes and knew how powerful she was.
The woman's words made the onlookers clamor again, and everyone was a little unbelievable. Then, they whispered and looked at Gu Yanfei one by one and became hot.
The voices of discussion, guessing, and questioning were heard one after another:
"This...is this really a little god?"
"I also went to Chengtian Gate that day. Now, I look at it. This girl seems to be familiar."
“It really looks familiar.”
"It turns out that Miss Gu Er from Gu's Mansion is actually a little god!"
“…”
Some people in the crowd were already a little confused, and some people even thought that they had just thrown vegetable leaves to Gu's mansion, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.
The atmosphere at the gate developed from the original tension in another direction in less than half a cup of tea after Gu Yanfei appeared. Several people wanted to kneel down.
The old man in gray was in a very confused mind and looked at Gu Yanfei in surprise.
His gray eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and the wrinkles on his face deepened, and he was skeptical: Just now, he scolded Gu Ce like this. This second girl Gu is Gu Ce's biological daughter. Will she be so kind to help him?!
The old man stared at Gu Yanfei tightly, his turbid old eyes were a little sore, and he still suspected that she was cursing his great-grandson.
Gu Yanfei seemed to see his doubts and said, "According to the hexagrams, there is a river to the south from your house."
"Your great-grandson went to the river to catch fish, but his feet were entangled by the river grass..."
As he said that, Gu Yanfei sighed slightly.
"..." The old man in gray suddenly opened his eyes, his turbid eyes covered with red silk like spider webs, and his face turned pale in an instant.
That's right, there is indeed a river not far south near his house.
But how could this second girl Gu know about this?!
She didn't know him, nor did she know where his home was, nor did she know that his great-grandson once said in the morning that he wanted to eat fish...
Thinking of this, the old man in gray almost lost his mind, but in the blink of an eye, a fine cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.
Even if the others didn't need to ask, they guessed it. One of them said in shock: "The little god is right? Is there really a river near this old man's house?"
The middle-aged woman wanted to persuade the old man for a few more words, but she saw the old man holding a crutch and was about to leave. He walked anxiously, his legs trembling, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.
"Brother-in-law, I'll let the carriage in the mansion take you away." Gu Yanfei called out to the old man, "I must be before the sun is up and down."
The clever Juanbi quickly went to the concierge to prepare the carriage.
Everyone, including the old man, subconsciously looked up at the bright sun in the blue sky above, and felt that the scorching sun could not be looked at directly, which was dazzling.
The old man was still a little hesitant, and several people around him quickly pulled him and advised: "Brother-in-law, how can you compare to the carriage when you walk on two legs? You should take the carriage from the Gu family."
After a while, a green-topped carriage drove out of the corner door of Gu's mansion, and another servant helped to help the unpopular old man onto the carriage.
As the coachman waved his whip, the carriage hurriedly walked along Yuan'an Street...
The middle-aged women and others were left looking at each other.
After this episode just now, the tense atmosphere of swords and shadows no longer existed. At this time, everyone looked at Gu Yanfei with extremely complicated eyes. I don’t know if it was because of the more respect, shame, regret, or entanglement.
The person who broke the silence was Gu Yanfei, and the girl's voice was cold and stable:
"My father is innocent!"
"Whether you believe it or not, wait and watch."
"Don't be easily provoked by others!"
While she was talking, she slowly looked around everyone, her pupils as clear as water were dark and shining with a faint light.
Everyone was silent.
Gu Yanfei said again: "As Gu Ce's daughter, I will definitely give Dajing an explanation."
She said this last sentence with great force, neither fast nor slow, and her tone did not fluctuate at all, as if she had suppressed all emotions.
She seemed calm, but only she knew that she was not that calm and her throat was slightly more swallowed.
Gu Ce's daughter.
This is the first time in two lives that she has said this in front of so many people.
She is Gu Ce's daughter.
She is proud of it.
There was a faint light of tears in Gu Yanfei's pupils, and he turned around and crossed the high threshold.
A "creak" sound.
The red lacquered gate of Gu's mansion was closed heavily in front of everyone's eyes, tightly fitting.
Since the Gu family was taken away from the marquis, there were no brass door nails representing the mansion of the Duke and the Marquis before.
There was still a mess outside the door, and the people around the door were all staring at the plaque and gate in front of them.
In the crowd, I don’t know who said silly: “Why, let’s go back? Wait first.”
"Yes, even if the court wants to rehabilitate Gu... the Marquis, there is real evidence." The middle-aged woman said seriously with her eyes, and was convinced by Gu Yanfei. "Miss Gu Er is a little god who saves the suffering. The little god should be able to see the causality."
Many people nodded frequently.
Suddenly, a young man in the crowd snorted angrily: "Miss Gu Er is a god, but Gu Ce is her father. Of course she has to help her father, otherwise, how could there be a saying that goes, "Help your relatives but not help you."
Someone was immediately shaken and thought this sentence was reasonable. No matter how powerful Miss Gu Er is, people are selfish.
"Miss Gu Er just now told us not to be sowed... Young man, you are sowed, are you?" The thin and gray old woman looked alertly at the young man who had just spoken.
The others also looked at the young man in blue short-shots, and they all became alert.
The young man's eyes wandered for a moment, and he raised his neck and said, "What's the point?! I'm just telling the truth."
"Wait!" The middle-aged woman strode towards the young man, squinted at him, pointed at his nose and said affirmatively, "Just just now, Miss Gu is the daughter of a traitor, and she said that if she has a father, she will have a daughter!"
As soon as she said this, the others also recalled it. Several people remembered it and said, "By the way, it was him just now!"
"He also smashed the rotten egg just now."
“…”
These voices outside the mansion became more and more excited, loud, and also intermittently entered Gu's mansion.
Gu Yanfei on the other side of the door paused for a moment, then walked forward, intending to return to Yuhengyuan and throw the people outside away behind him.
At this moment, she had completely returned to peace, her eyes were like spring lake water, without any turbulence.
"Second sister!"
Away from a distance, a girl in a goose yellow dress came hurriedly.
Gu Yunzhen ran towards Gu Yanfei, looking anxious, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Gu Yunzhen grabbed Gu Yanfei's right arm and walked out of breath.
As soon as she heard the news, she rushed over immediately.
"I'm fine." Gu Yanfei gave Gu Yunzhen a soothing smile, "The people are all dispersed."
Gu Yunzhen looked Gu Yanfei up and down and was relieved to make sure she didn't bump into it or touch it or any vegetable leaves.
"I'll go to your place to sit." Gu Yunzhen smiled and walked towards Yuhengyuan with Gu Yanfei's arm.
The spring breeze came towards us, with the fragrant fragrance of spring, gently brushing the white cheeks of the two girls.
Walking along the way, talking and laughing.
"Second sister," Gu Yunzhen said with a smile, "I was planning to go to Yuhengyuan to find you. I want to ask you, are you going to Tianheyuan on National Day?"
"Yes." Gu Yanfei said uncertainly.
"Ah!" Gu Yunzhen stopped his pace and yelled softly.
"..." Gu Yanfei blinked, confused.
"Then you have to prepare the clothes and jewelry you would wear that day." Gu Yunzhen said, raising his hand to adjust the purple magnolia on Gu Yanfei's sideburns. The girl's cheeks were as delicate as petals, as delicate as cream, as if lotus could pinch out water, and she was more delicate than flowers.
"No need." Gu Yanfei shook his head and said, "I have a lot of clothes. The spring clothes of this season have just been made. I will just wear them all that day."
"There is no one in the girl who thinks there are too many clothes!" Gu Yunzhen said naturally, with a bit of joke and pointed gently on the middle of her sister's eyebrows.
Then, she explained seriously: "Those newly made spring clothes are regular clothes that you can wear at home, as long as you are comfortable and beautiful. How can you wear so simple and elegant when you go out to the banquet?"
As he said that, Gu Yunzhen also pulled Gu Yanfei's snow-green sleeves and used examples to tell her what "simple and elegant" is.
Gu Yunzhen felt that her sister was too unpretentious. Which girl doesn’t like beautiful jewelry? She just had no gold and silver jewelry except the white jade plum blossom hairpin on her head.
Gu Yanfei lowered his eyes and looked at the cuffs embroidered with silver curly grass patterns, thinking: How simple is it?
