1716 to Plead Guilty
The end of the year is approaching, and the whole capital is bustling with excitement, and Tan Yushu also brought a piece of news that made Gu Xiaowan frown.
"The emperor issued a decree and agreed to Mr. Fang marrying Huang Rushi!" Tan Yushu sighed and said, "However, I heard that Mr. Fang must divorce his wife. It is said that he is already in his forties and has no sons. I must say that Fang Madame violated the rule of seven, she must be divorced!"
Tan Yushu frowned, and after drinking the ginger tea in his hand in one gulp, he was still a little unsatisfied: "Ah Zuo, do you still have ginger tea? After drinking it, you will feel warm all over your body. My aunt's cooking skills are getting better and better. .”
Gu Xiaowan was also holding a bowl in her hand. Hearing what she said, she chuckled: "Didn't you hate the smell of ginger the most before?"
"Yeah, I don't know how my aunt made it, but I like the taste of ginger more and more, and it's not as spicy as before!" Tan Yushu marveled.
A Zuo at the side saw it, and said with a smile: "Princess, this is what the girl thought up, just to see if you don't like to drink this ginger tea, I specially mixed some medicinal herbs for health, such as brown sugar, wolfberry, chrysanthemum, and let it cool After cooking, some honey was put in it, which naturally overwhelmed the spicy taste of ginger!"
Tan Yushu clicked his tongue, watched Ah Zuo poured her another bowl, drank it all, and praised: "What Longjing, Houkui, and Maofeng tea are not as good as this tea! It's sweet and fragrant, and it also warms the body. , so delicious!"
Ah Zuo smiled again and said: "Princess, it would be great if anyone could think like you. Last time Miss Liu came, this ginger tea, you can't even take a look at it, and don't you think it's not high-grade? "
Upon hearing this, Tan Yushu put down the tea in his hand: "Miss Liu? Which Miss Liu? Why didn't I know that there is another Miss Liu in Beijing!"
In her memory, the officials who could be called did not seem to have the surname Liu. Where did this Ms. Liu come from!
Gu Xiaowan smiled: "It's the Liu sisters we saw at the poetry and song meeting last time!"
Tan Yushu thought about it carefully: "They? What are they doing here?"
Those two Miss Liu had never seen them in the capital, and later found out that their father was only a fifth-rank official.
Tan Yushu was a little curious, looked at Gu Xiaowan and asked, "Sister, what are they doing here?"
"It's because my ink dance above the main hall became a blockbuster, and I want me to show them the dance!" Gu Xiaowan said lightly after taking a sip of ginger tea.
"Snapped……"
As soon as the words finished, I heard Tan Yushu slapping the table with his palm, and shouted angrily: "You are so brave, you are only the daughter of a fifth-rank official, and you dare to let the princess dance for them! It's really daring!"
Seeing Tan Yushu's ferocious look, Gu Xiaowan let out a "puchi" laugh: "It's a good thing you weren't there at the time. If you were, this fierce look might scare them!"
"If I had been there at that time, I would have kicked them out!" Tan Yushu said angrily, "It's outrageous that they can still make such a request."
"I'm afraid I'm a peasant girl!" Gu Xiaowan said lightly, she didn't show those people good face last time, and she doesn't have to.
"You bastard, next time I enter the palace, I will report to the Empress Dowager to see if there are any people in the capital, whether they are big or small. How dare a fifth-rank official's daughter order a second-rank princess like this? I'm getting impatient!" Tan Yushu said bitterly, wishing he could pull the two Liu sisters over and slap them hard.
But at this moment, Kou Dan came in and reported: "Girl, that Miss Liu who came back is here again!"
"What? She still dares to come?" When Tan Yushu heard this, he jumped up from the chair in anger and remembered wrongly: "Let her in quickly, the county chief will make her find her teeth all over the place!"
Seeing Tan Yushu's angry look, Gu Xiaowan knew that she was complaining for herself, and she didn't know why. Seeing someone protecting her like this, Gu Xiaowan's grievances for the past few days dissipated completely at this moment.
"Okay, Yushu, sit down first, don't get angry, be careful not to get angry!" Gu Xiaowan said, then looked at Kou Dan and said: "Let her go back, I don't want to see you!"
Seeing that her sister wanted to let her go, Tan Yushu was quite indignant: "Sister, why? Why did you let her go? She is so disrespectful, I will teach her a lesson today!"
Gu Xiaowan smiled and coaxed: "You know that you are doing my best, but because of an irrelevant person, Bai was so angry that he broke his body, sister, I have a sense of proportion!"
As soon as the words fell, Kou Dan came back, frowned and said displeasedly: "Girl, she said she would not leave, she must see the girl, no matter how much she persuaded her, she would kneel at the door. "
It was the first time for Kou Dan to see such a shameless young lady. Last time, he was smitten by the young lady. What are you doing here? Didn't he come to plead guilty again?
I said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing, and now I am thinking about confessing, it is too late.
Seeing that she was a girl, Kou Dan really couldn't throw her out, otherwise, she would have thrown her directly on the street.
Seeing this, Tan Yushu frowned and shouted: "If you tell her to go, she won't go, she really came here to scold her, I'll go and scold her away!"
The tiger girl at the gate is not easy to provoke, Tan Yushu flicked his sleeves, and walked straight to the gate regardless of Gu Xiaowan calling her from behind.
Seeing her walking so fast, Gu Xiaowan was afraid that she would fall, so she told Kou Dan to follow quickly: "Let's follow up too, reading the jade book like this, that Miss Liu is going to be in trouble!"
When they came to the gate, they saw that the person standing at the gate was Liu Yingxue, and Liu Siyi, who was with her on weekdays.
I didn't see it.
"What are you doing here?" Tan Yushu yelled without asking any questions as soon as they met.
Liu Xueying had been standing at the door waiting for Princess Anping, but she didn't know that Princess Huguo was the first to come out. Seeing Tan Yushu's fierce look, she must have known what happened a few days ago, and Liu Xueying's heart skipped a beat.
Everyone in the capital knows that Princess Huguo and Princess Anping are close friends in her boudoir, and their relationship is almost the same as that of sisters. Seeing that her sister has suffered so much, she has come to settle accounts with her, Liu Xueying thought. She didn't even think about it, she knelt down with a plop, "Xueying, please be safe, Princess Huguo..."
