Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Doesn't this mean that Cao Cao will arrive soon?

Gu Yanshu asked Zhi Ge to go to the British government to send greetings, just to meet this Miss Liu.

Now that Miss Liu has come by herself, she just invites people in, so naturally there is no need to send invitations.

With Gu Yanshu's approval, Zhi Ge turned around and walked out the door, not long after, he led the two girls in from the door.

Gu Yanshu raised his eyes slightly, and sized up the two people who were following Zhi Ge.

One of the girls was wearing a peach-colored dress with a veil on her face, Gu Yanshu couldn't see it clearly.

But from the eyebrows and eyes exposed, it can be seen that his appearance is quite good.

As for the other girl, she was wearing a blue shirt. Although her face was gorgeous, her pale face slightly detracted from her gorgeous facial features.

In addition, there was a trace of undiminished sadness in the eyes of the girl in blue, and there was even a hint of bitterness between her brows and eyes.

Looking at the black hair tied behind her head in a woman's bun, Gu Yanshu can probably guess the identity of this girl.

This should be Liu Ruxi who had made peace with Ding Yibai a few days ago.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanshu's eyes flashed with surprise.

Whether it's from the fifth prince's description just now, or the discussion of the people in Beijing, one can know that Liu Ruxi is not very old.

Most of the women in Tianqi marry early, and they will leave the cabinet in [-] years at the latest.

The previous head of the Duke's Mansion regarded all the women in the family as bargaining chips for a stable position, and he would not let them stay in the mansion for a long time.

Therefore, Liu Ruxi was already married to Ding Yibai when she was Jiji.

It has only been five years since she got married in the year of Jiji, which means that Liu Ruxi should not be more than 21 years old now.

At the age of 21, in future generations, most people have not even stepped out of the university campus, and can only be regarded as an adult child.

But Liu Ruxi, who was the same age, already had an old look on her face.

If it weren't for the already guessed identity of Liu Ruxi, just from her eyes as deep as ancient wells, and the bitter look between her brows, Gu Yanshu would even have thought that she was over thirty.

It is said that whether a woman is doing well in her husband's house can be seen from her complexion.

At this time, Gu Yanshu finally understood what he meant.

From Liu Ruxi's appearance at this time, it can be seen that the rumors about the relationship between Ding Yibai and Liu Ruxi are probably not groundless.

When Gu Yanshu looked at Liu Ruxi, Liu Ruxi gave Gu Yanshu a little blessing:

"My concubine has met His Royal Highness Princess Li and the Fifth Highness, and the two Highnesses are blessed."

"Don't be too polite."

Gu Yanshu raised his hand slightly, signaling Liu Ruxi to get up.

"You don't have to be so polite, cousin."

Compared with Gu Yanshu's politeness, the attitude of the Fifth Prince sitting on the side is much more familiar.

After finishing speaking, the Fifth Prince set his sights on the girl in the pink dress next to Liu Ruxi:

"Who is this?"

"This is the younger sister of my concubine's family. I was worried about my concubine's life, so I came with her. Please don't blame your highnesses."

Liu Ruxi leaned over slightly, and answered the fifth prince's words in a low voice.

Following Liu Ruxi's explanation, Liu Ruxi's youngest sister also kindly offered ten thousand blessings to the two of them.

From Liu Ruxi's words and the veil her younger sister did not take off, it can be known that Liu Ruxi did not intend to introduce her younger sister to Gu Yanshu and the Fifth Prince.

Gu Yanshu and the fifth prince didn't care about this.

In Tianqi, people always pay attention to the defense of men and women. For married women like Liu Ruxi, the rules are not so strict.

But for the little girls who are not engaged, it is more important.

If both the man and the woman do not wish to get married, the girl's family will definitely not formally introduce their girl to the outsider easily.

"My sister is worried about my sister, what is there to blame? It just so happens that Mrs. Yao is also there, so let Mrs. Yao accompany Lingmei."

Although Gu Yanshu is not sensitive to this kind of thinking, he is also willing to respect Liu Ruxi:

"Miss Liu, please sit down."

As he spoke, Gu Yanshu raised his chin towards the seat opposite him, motioning for Zhi Ge to pour a cup of tea for Liu Ruxi.

As everyone knows, a simple sentence directly filled Liu Ruxi's affection.

From the time when she proposed reconciliation a few days ago, what Liu Ruxi saw the most were sympathetic looks, and many people thought she was messing around.

Except for a few close sisters in the British government and her former boudoir friends, no one took her idea of ​​reconciliation seriously.

Everyone thought that she just wanted to have a good quarrel with Ding Yibai in Tongchang Princess' Mansion by reconciling.

It can be seen from the address the fifth prince called her just now.

Cousin.

Although the two words have the meaning of closeness and respect.

But to say something that doesn't know good and bad, as long as she thinks that such intimacy and respect are based on the fact that she is Ding Yibai's wife, she would rather not have it!

But this Princess Li is different.

From the time she entered the door, this Concubine Li looked at her with curiosity, surprise, surprise, and even a hint of admiration, but no sympathy or condescension.

What warms Liu Ruxi's heart even more is Gu Yanshu's address for her.

Miss Liu.

This is what other people called her before she came out of the cabinet.

Gu Yanshu's name even made Liu Ruxi dream back to her girlhood in an instant, as if she had never married as a woman, never entered the eldest princess's mansion, and never experienced those trials and tribulations.

She is her, she is Miss Liu, not Mrs. Ding.

Originally, before coming here, Liu Ruxi was still a little apprehensive.

After all, no matter what, she brought a lot of trouble to Yaoyue Pavilion.

But after seeing Gu Yanshu, the way Gu Yanshu looked at her, and his attitude when facing her.

Liu Ruxi's originally erratic heart settled down instead.

Walking across to Gu Yanshu, Liu Ruxi did not take a seat according to the words of taking care of Yanshu, but blessed Gu Yanshu again:

"Recently, because of my concubine's affairs, Yaoyue Pavilion has caused a lot of trouble. I am willing to bear the losses caused to Yaoyue Pavilion. I hope His Highness will forgive me."

"Miss Liu is polite, this matter has nothing to do with Miss Liu."

Gu Yanshu smiled lightly, then raised his hand again:

"This hall doesn't like to raise your head and talk to people. Miss Liu, please sit down first."

"Yes."

Gu Yanshu has said that, what else can Liu Ruxi say?

She could only bless her body slightly, and then sat down at the seat opposite Gu Yanshu as she said.

After sitting down, from Liu Ruxi's position, he could just see the servants of Princess Funing's mansion who were making trouble in the small square on Shaohua Road.

Seeing this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Liu Ruxi's face, and the guilt in his eyes became more and more obvious.

She was about to plead guilty to Gu Yanshu again, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Gu Yanshu's slightly smiling and comforting voice:

"Recently, the hall has heard about Miss Liu's matter, but I don't know how it is going? Can Miss Liu tell me?"

"There is nothing convenient or inconvenient."

Liu Ruxi apparently didn't expect that Gu Yanshu would not mention Yueyue Pavilion, but instead asked her about her personal affairs, she was stunned for a while, and then quickly reacted:

"I'm not afraid of Your Highness's jokes, but I'm still in a stalemate."

Now that some things have been opened, the content behind it is not difficult to say.

Not to mention that since Liu Ruxi mentioned this time when the eldest princess held a banquet, causing a storm all over the city, naturally she had already given up on this face.

Now that Gu Yanshu asked, Liu Ruxi didn't hide anything, and explained the progress of the matter clearly to Gu Yanshu.

Divorce or reconciliation is not a trivial matter for the noble family.

Not to mention that in front of many nobles from aristocratic families, Liu Ruxi just gave the eldest princess and Ding Yibai a big embarrassment.

Now the eldest princess and Ding Yibai are filled with anger, and they are unwilling to give Liu Ruxi and Li Shu anything.

Liu Ruxi had been arguing for a few days, and the two parties had been deadlocked for a few days.

Now the attitude of the eldest princess mansion is not as firm as it was at the beginning.

He said he was willing to let Liu Ruxi go free, but reconciliation is impossible. If Liu Ruxi wanted to, then he would leave with a divorce letter.

How could this Liu Ruxi be willing?

Even a three-year-old child can understand the difference between divorcing a wife and reconciling.

Aside from that, although Heli also has a great influence on the woman's reputation, in the end it will only implicate Heli.

Divorce is different.

If the noble family hadn't committed an unforgivable mistake, the noble family would not easily divorce their wife.

Those who knew knew that it was Liu Ruxi who could not bear the torture, so she asked her to go down, but if she didn't know, it must be said that Liu Ruxi didn't know how to behave, and was rejected by her husband's family.

An abandoned daughter in the family is an indelible stain on the entire family.

The men in the British government are not bad, there are not many restrictions on men in the world.

Coupled with the fact that their backs are against the Duke's Mansion, the young masters in the mansion have a good family background and are personable, so naturally they don't have to worry about marriage.

But what about the other sisters in the British government?

If Liu Ruxi was divorced, when others mentioned the British government, they would inevitably mention this prostitute who was despised by her husband's family.

If other sisters want to get married, they will definitely be affected by this incident.

Even if Liu Ruxi didn't think about herself, she still had to think about the other daughters of the British government.

The eldest princess and Ding Yibai also took a fancy to this point.

Tell Liu Ruxi bluntly that she must either bring a divorce letter to the court, or because of the trouble she caused a few days ago, she will kneel down and kowtow three times from the British government to plead guilty to them.

No matter which one it was, Liu Ruxi was unwilling to accept it, and the matter fell into a stalemate.

"Why are they so shameless?"

The fifth prince was almost stunned by his aunt's coquettish manipulation.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Ding Yibai and Princess Funing's fault.

Under such circumstances, they could still do the shameless act of asking Liu Ruxi to choose between a divorce letter and three kneeling and nine knocking!

In contrast, Gu Yanshu was extremely calm, he only raised his eyelids and glanced at the Fifth Prince:

"You just found out about this today?"

Even if Gu Yanshu didn't know the Princess Chang's Mansion and Ding Yibai well, just from the way these two people dealt with Yaoyue Pavilion, it can be seen how low the minimum limit of these two people can be.

The fifth prince was directly speechless by Gu Yanshu's words.

That's right, it's not a day or two since Ding Yibai has been shameless, why is he so surprised?

After dismissing the fifth prince, Gu Yanshu once again set his sights on Liu Ruxi:

"Then what is Miss Liu going to do now?"

Hearing Gu Yanshu's words, Liu Ruxi was stunned for a while, then looked up at the very bustling small square and fell into deep thought.

After this meditation, half a stick of incense passed.

Just when others thought that Liu Ruxi would not speak, Liu Ruxi said four words hoarsely:

"I do not know."

Yes.

Liu Ruxi doesn't know what to do now.

At that time, the proposal of reconciliation in front of the guests was impulsive, but it was not entirely impulsive.

At least on that day, when Liu Ruxi saw her mother-in-law who never looked at her directly, she looked at her with eyes full of surprise and surprise.

And when the husband who has always been generous and has the same high-spirited eyes asked her repeatedly, "Are you crazy?", he felt extremely happy in his heart.

But now Liu Ruxi realizes that happiness is only temporary, and she may have to pay an extremely heavy price for the momentary happiness back then.

Let’s just say this is the Yueyue Pavilion.

It was originally a place that noble ladies in Beijing yearned for, but now Ding Yibai made a fuss about it.

Although His Highness Princess Li didn't take any anger at her because of this matter, Liu Ruxi was still very sorry.

In addition, it is the sisters of the British government.

On the day she proposed reconciliation, those sisters heard about her experiences over the years, and it can be said that they were filled with righteous indignation and shared the same hatred with her.

There were even people who said, "It's no big deal if you make up with each other, I'll go and beg Daddy, at least I can give you a place to stay".

But now, because of the request of the eldest princess mansion to choose one of the two, the sisters in the mansion also have complaints against her.

Before leaving the mansion today, Liu Ruxi subconsciously heard the discussions of the two side sisters.

Said that she was the life of a maidservant.

He also said that there is no one who is not a daughter-in-law who is not angry with her mother-in-law, but she alone can't stand it and make a lot of noise in the city.

He also said that they are going to discuss marriage soon, and it will inevitably be affected by this time.

It is said that she is selfish and only cares about her own happiness, completely disregarding the life and death of other sisters in the mansion.

He even said that if he really couldn't make it through, he could just find a three-foot white silk and hang himself, and it would be a one-hundredth.

Now that there is such a big commotion, I simply don't know what it means.

Although the two sisters were reprimanded by the younger sister Haosheng who rushed over later, what they said was like sharp nails, piercing straight into Liu Ruxi's heart.

So when she suddenly heard Gu Yanshu's question at this time, Liu Ruxi was really at a loss for a moment:

She didn't know how to go the next way.

From her personal point of view, Heli is naturally the best result.

But if the eldest princess's mansion insists on not giving He Lishu, what else can she do?

It is absolutely impossible to accept the letter of divorce, so should she kneel down and kowtow at the princess's mansion three times to plead guilty, or as the sisters said, find a three-foot white silk and hang her to death, and it will be settled once and for all?

"Is there anything you don't know? If they consume it, then just spend it with them!"

On the other hand, Liu Susu, who was sitting on the side talking to Mrs. Yao, couldn't bear it after hearing this:

"It depends on who can afford it. Anyway, our Duke's Mansion can't afford to support my sister!"

When she said this, Liu Susu's tone was full of arrogance.

Apparently, Liu Susu didn't pay attention to the threat from the Princess' Palace.

Knowing that the younger sister had good intentions, Liu Ruxi still shook her head and retorted:

"How can it be consumed all the time?"

When a woman gets married, she has neither reconciled nor been abandoned. How can there be any reason to live in her mother's house all the time?

This is not in line with etiquette.

Liu Susu thought for a while, and felt that it was the same thing, and said again:

"Then let them give the letter of divorce! The daughter of our Duke's mansion, can you still worry about getting married?"

Liu Susu naturally has no worries about getting married.

The current head of the Duke's Mansion is the direct brother of Liu Susu's mother and compatriots.

This patriarch not only holds a high position and power, but also holds real power, and is also a well-known sister-in-law.

The British father's love for his younger sister has even reached the point where he wants the stars not to pick the moon, and everyone in the noble circle knows it.

Didn't you see that the First Prince married a few side concubines and came in, but the position of the main concubine is still vacant, isn't it reserved for Liu Susu?

With such an elder brother, how could Liu Susu be willing to marry?

But Liu Susu never thought that other girls in the Duke's mansion do not have such a good brother as Duke Ying.

There are even some offspring of concubines who don't even have a capable father.

It is not an easy task to find a good marriage, but if it is affected by Liu Ruxi's matter, it will be even more difficult.

So now Liu Susu's words, in the ears of others, have a sense of "why not eat minced meat?"

But Liu Ruxi just shook her head and didn't speak.

After all, Liu Susu also had good intentions, if she refuted again, she would be a little ignorant.

Gu Yanshu knocked on the table, drawing Liu Ruxi's attention back:

"Then find a way to get and leave the book."

"But it's not going to be easy."

It would be great if he could get the Heli book, but the attitude of the eldest princess' mansion now obviously makes her feel bad!

"As long as the thinking doesn't slip, there are always more ways than difficulties. After all, people come up with the way."

Of course Gu Yanshu knew that this matter was not easy, but it was not impossible.

Hearing this, Liu Ruxi immediately seemed to see hope, and looked at Gu Yanshu excitedly:

"I hope the princess will clear up the confusion!"

If Gu Yanshu hadn't been in Tianqi for some time, he would have already known the bad habit of Tianqi people who like to salute others when they are excited, so he would take the first step to stop it.

Liu Ruxi would have knelt down on the ground long ago, begging Gu Yanshu for a way to break the situation.

And Liu Susu, who was sitting on the side, also blinked at Gu Yanshu with big watery eyes, eyes full of expectation.

Don't look at what she said just now, "It doesn't matter, the Duke's mansion will support my sister for a lifetime", "Then take the divorce letter", but Liu Susu also understands in her heart that the best choice now is to get and Li Shu.

"Miss Liu, have you ever heard a word?"

Gu Yanshu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked slowly:

"Without morals, anything is possible!"

"This……"

"Pfft...cough cough cough!"

……

No one expected that Gu Yanshu could say such a sentence.

The Fifth Prince, who was drinking tea at the side, even choked on a sip of tea in his throat because of this sentence, unable to get up or down, and coughed heart-rendingly.

In the end, Zhi Ge couldn't stand it anymore, he tapped the acupuncture points on the fifth prince's body twice, and finally rescued him from the sea of ​​suffering.

After Liu Ruxi was initially surprised, she began to think seriously about Gu Yanshu's words.

There is a saying that is good, but the words are not rough.

It can be said that Gu Yanshu's sentence "Shameless people are invincible in the world" can be said to be perfect.

Why are Ding Yibai and the eldest princess so confident?

Isn't it because of being shameless?

Because she doesn't care about other people's comments, the eldest princess can shame her in public.

It was also because of his shamelessness that he was able to make the shameless request that Ding Yibai be taken away from the Duke's Mansion, kneel down three times and kowtow to the Eldest Princess' Mansion every step of the way when everyone in the capital knew what kind of guy Ding Yibai was.

"So the method of this hall is also very simple."

Looking at the expression on Liu Ruxi's face, Gu Yanshu knew that she had figured it out, and put down the teacup slightly:

"Miss Liu just needs to be more shameless than the Princess's Mansion."

"This……"

It has to be said that Gu Yanshu's proposal moved Ms. Liu's heart very much.

Let's not talk about the phrase "people are shameless, the world is invincible", just say that the predicament she is facing now has no face at all.

If the current predicament can be resolved by losing face, Liu Ruxi is naturally willing.

But soon, Liu Ruxi discovered that she was facing another problem:

"How should the concubine act?"

Although the British government is not like the Wen family, where poetry and etiquette are passed on to the family, it is a century-old family that knows books and etiquette.

As the prostitute of the Duke's Mansion, Liu Ruxi learned etiquette, justice, and shame since she was a child, and valued her face more than anything else.

Now that she is suddenly asked to do something shameless, Liu Ruxi really doesn't know how to do it.

"Isn't that easy?"

For Gu Yanshu, the most difficult thing is not how to act, but whether Liu Ruxi is willing to let go of this face.

Seeing Liu Ruxi's attitude and determination now, Gu Yanshu knew that this matter would not be difficult.

Dang even raised his head, signaling Liu Ruxi to look out the window:

"Isn't this an excellent demonstration?"

Following Gu Yanshu's gaze, he happened to be able to see the small square at the intersection of Shaohua Road, where the servants of Princess Funing's mansion made trouble.

"Putting up a stage to scold in the street, Ding Yibai can do it, Princess Funing's mansion can do it, Miss Liu can naturally do it too."

Gu Yanshu smiled softly, and then explained in a low voice:

"They can say that the Yueyue Pavilion hides filth and is unsightly, so Miss Liu can naturally say that the Palace of the Elder Princess Funing is so despicable."

Before Liu Ruxi could speak, the fifth prince was stunned by the suggestion made by his sister-in-law.

Can this kind of thing still be learned like this?

However, what Gu Yanshu said next made the Fifth Prince understand.

This kind of thing can not only be learned in this way, but can even be learned so that the blue is better than the blue.

Gu Yanshu took a look at the fifth prince who was dumbfounded and full of disbelief, and continued:

"And you see, they are cursing and cursing, just a few words, and the common people will inevitably feel bored listening to them. Miss Liu can definitely learn a lesson and call a few people to catch the knife."

"What storytelling, doggerel, and jingle, if you make up more tricks, it will be more interesting to listen to."

Speaking of this, Gu Yanshu seemed to have thought of something, and added:

"I heard that Miss Liu suffered a lot in the Princess's mansion? She must have suffered a great grievance for making such a heroic request for reconciliation, right? Tell everyone about it."

"Although it is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, the common people are not upright officials. When the time comes, we can guide the direction of the wind and see if the eldest princess can still sit still?"

It is human nature to be interested in gossip.

Just now, Gu Yanshu was able to hear clearly the lawsuits that Liu Ruxi and Ding Yibai had only seen from the discussions of the people around him, so he could get a glimpse of it.

It has to be said that Gu Yanshu's method is indeed a bit of a loss, but when you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Ruxi nodded almost without hesitation:

"Using the other's way, return it to the other body, Your Highness, this method is good, the concubine has been taught!"
