Chapter 254 The Sinner’s Daughter 2
Although the old lady is over fifty years old, she is well-maintained, with only a few gray hairs on her head, and only a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. If you look at her, she is only in her early forties.
He was sitting there steadily, drinking tea.
Seeing her granddaughter walking in, she frowned slightly: "Xin'er, why are the older you get, the less discipline you have? I sent my servants here early in the morning and made an inexplicable conversation, and now I'm running over here without combing my hair. Is this going to happen?" What are you doing? I have long said that if you are a lady, your appearance will remain unchanged even if the mountain collapses."
Thinking about it, early in the morning, even if the old lady got up early, a maid came over while she was combing her hair and said without any clue that everyone should flee. Given the old lady's status, it was strange to believe it.
Xining thought for a while and then fell to his knees, which shocked the old lady.
"What are you doing?" The old lady suddenly stood up and said, "Taishan collapsed but the color remains unchanged." She didn't know where to throw it.
Xining grabbed the old lady with a look of horror on her face: "Grandma, I dreamed of my grandfather!"
People in ancient times were superstitious about gods and ghosts. For things that could not be explained for a moment, they could only borrow the information from the owner's grandfather who died early. This is to save the Gu family, and the ancestors of the Gu family will surely forgive him.
Sure enough, the old lady's face turned solemn: "What did he say?"
Xining quickly used the topic: "When my grandfather passed away, my granddaughter was still young. I didn't know who the visitor was, but he said it was my granddaughter's grandfather. He said that the Gu family was in trouble today, and his father would be implicated in the court for treason. After being imprisoned, the Gu family will be confiscated and exterminated. The granddaughter is asked to tell her grandmother immediately and take everyone out of the city to escape. After a year or two, the father will escape and return to the court. "
The old lady listened blankly and didn't react for a while.
The wet nurse next to her, who was over 60 years old, stepped forward and asked softly: "Why is the master looking for you?"
Xining immediately found the reason: "Yinshi's grandma has gradually woken up, and my mother has also woken up. Only her granddaughter is sleeping deeply. Grandma has always loved her granddaughter the most. The matter is urgent, and grandpa Gu Tuomeng came. Grandma, it is better to call everyone quickly. At this time The city gate has been opened and we must leave the city within half an hour, otherwise disaster is imminent.”
"This..." The old lady hesitated.
Then I went to call more than 20 people from the Gu family, as well as maids, mothers, and servants. There were hundreds of people in total. The reason was that the dream of the granddaughter of the Gu family was too far-fetched.
Xining then added: "Grandma simply said that she was dreaming. She felt restless when she woke up. She was afraid of natural disasters and earthquakes, so she wanted to go to a temple outside the city to take shelter immediately. She might have to live outside for a few days, so she asked each house to bring the gold and silver deeds to the house. Xinruan, we must leave the city within half an hour!”
This approach is very good, but it is too hasty, not to mention whether it is true is still open to question. Look at Gu Wanxin who is not usually a carefree person, but today she was uncharacteristically different. The old lady still hesitated.
Xining pulled the old lady's sleeve and shook it: "Grandma, you must listen to me. If it is true that my granddaughter is suffering from hysteria and is dreaming blindly at night, she will admit it. But if it is true, the Gu family will be in trouble, and the granddaughter will die after her death." I am ashamed to face my grandfather, and I am ashamed to face all the ancestors of the Gu family." After saying this, he kowtowed and his forehead banged.
Gu Yunxin has always behaved dignifiedly, never overstepped her bounds, and was careful in her words and deeds. It seems like she must have been dreaming of something like this today, otherwise she wouldn't be joking about her ancestors.
The old lady sighed slightly and pulled Xi Ning: "Come on, let go of this old face and trust you for once." Even if it is really an illusion, then it is based on the effectiveness of praying in the temple.
So there were a total of eight girls, big and small, in the old lady's courtyard, all of them were sent to each courtyard to report the news, and they had to get on the bus within one stick of incense.
All the carriages in the house were hitched, and the housekeeper was asked to go out and hire as many as possible immediately.
The old lady said this, and all the courtyards suddenly became busy. The time for burning incense was too short, and it was not enough to tie a bun. But the old lady said, no matter how you deal with it, those who exceed the time will be severely punished.
Xining hurriedly ran back to his yard, while Fu Rong was still cleaning up.
Xining looked at the large camphor wood box on the ground. Furong was still stuffing things into the box and frowned: "What do you need these for? We are trying to escape, not enjoy happiness." Furong had a grimace on her face, as if she couldn't bear to part with it: "This is The mat made of Shu brocade that Princess Qing rewarded..."
"No more!"
"This is a fire cloth that is invulnerable to water and fire, worth a thousand gold..."
"No more!" No matter how expensive the clothes are, they can't be pawned for a few bucks, and when escaping, the faster the better, it's strange that big and small bags can run fast!
"Farewell!" Furong hugged a half-human tall red coral with heartache: "This is a congratulatory gift from Princess An when the young lady got her hair."
Damn it, why did you mention King An? The Gu family died in the hands of King An. Xining had packed the package very quickly: "Let's go!"
Furong... why is the lady so fast? She looks like she has escaped from trouble before. Are you really willing to give up so many good things?
Finally, before leaving, Furong put some gouache, rouge, and eyebrow makeup used to serve the young lady in the package of her clothes.
When we got to the door, most of the people got on the bus.
Although the old lady was about to go out to the temple this time as if she had a convulsion, everyone did not dare to disobey, so that none of them even combed their hair, and got into the carriage with disheveled hair holding soft packages or boxes containing gold and silver.
There were complaints from time to time in the car, but they were quickly scolded.
The old lady dreamed of an earthquake. Although the dream of an earthquake did not necessarily mean an earthquake, the dream might imply a disaster. So she went to a temple to seek refuge and pray for blessings. Who would dare to be dissatisfied?
"Where is the seventh brother from the third room?" The old lady frowned.
Mrs. Sanfang immediately said: "Brother Qi is too sick to get up."
Qi Ge is the son of Sanfang, the seventh in line, so he is nicknamed Qi Ge. Since childhood, my body has been weak, and I have been lying in bed for nine out of ten days. Later, his home was ransacked and he was imprisoned. He died before being exiled.
Xining immediately opened the car curtain: "This is to pray for the Gu family. How can we leave out the seventh brother? Is it possible that the seventh brother is not a descendant of the Gu family?"
When things got to this point, there was no choice but to perform a complete set. The old lady gritted her teeth and said: "You have to carry him into the car. Come on, send a few people to carry him immediately."
Her sick baby son would also be affected. Mrs. Sanfang could only bite her lip, lowered her head and did not dare to speak back, but she gave Xi Ning a hard look.
The seventh young master was put on the bus, leaving only some servants to look at the house. The whole family got on the bus and walked.
Before leaving, the old lady asked the housekeeper who stayed behind to send someone secretly to wait for Mr. Gu at the gate of the palace. If you see something bad happening in your house, don't linger and run to the designated place to report the news.
The housekeeper promised to immediately send someone to inquire outside Taihe Gate.
In the car, Furong helped Xining comb her hair and said softly: "The car is shaking and it won't be possible to comb it."
"Just braid a ponytail." Xi Ning didn't have time to worry about whether her hair looked good or not, and she was in a hurry to get out of the city. But the others didn't know the situation and just speeded up a little.
