Chapter 270 The Sinner’s Daughter 18
Maybe it's supplies from my mother's family... Never mind, I'm already hungry, so let's eat first.
The jailer opened the cell door, put down the food box, and opened the lid. Inside was half a roast chicken, a small bowl of boiled meat sprinkled with coarse salt, a braised fish, a plate of fried cabbage, and four large white steamed buns. No wonder it smells so good!
Darling, five hundred taels of steamed buns, how much do these cost?
After Gu Tingrui was startled, he seemed to understand something, and burst into tears: "Brother, when will I hit the road?"
I was given such a good meal, including meat and fish. Isn’t that a decapitation meal, or what?
The jailer was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "My lord, you are joking."
Isn't it a deprivation meal? Gu Tingrui didn't believe it and cried so sadly. There is meat and fish, what else can it be but a decapitated meal?
The jailer, who usually looked fierce and impatient, was rarely smiling at this time, and he couldn't help but flattering: "My lord, you are truly blessed by your ancestors, and you have given birth to a good daughter."
What does it mean? Can't understand.
I heard the jailer say: "It's spread all over the world. Old Mrs. Gu entrusted a dream to Mrs. Gu, and the Gu family all left the city before ransacking their homes. At this time, the Jin Yiwei were chased by the remnants of King An, and Miss Gu drove to rescue Fusi in Beizhen. Mr. Xu Tongzhi, these meals were sent specially by the people from Beizhen Fusi! Mr. Gu is so lucky, just wait for the good news."
The jailers were all gone, but Gu Tingrui was still sitting there with two old tears hanging from his eyes. What's going on? In a dream...rescued Beizhen Fusi Xu Tongzhi...
"Hey, hey~, Mr. Gu!" the colleague on the opposite side shouted, holding the fence with both hands, touching his face, exposing the middle of his mouth and nose, licking his lips, and swallowed: "Everyone who meets you has a share, because of past feelings. Give me some steamed buns.”
Five hundred taels of silver each. Just give it to me. Do you think he is stupid?
Gu Tingrui rolled his eyes: "What kind of affection can we say? You usually embarrass me and make me stumbling in the court."
After saying that, he grabbed a white-flour steamed bun, took a big bite, and then picked up the meat and took a bite.
Hmm~, ho ho ho... The oil and water in the boiled meat squeaked out, and the mouthful of meat was so fragrant that Gu Tingrui burst into tears again.
The colleague apologized and said good things, and then he threw a steamed bun over like a dog. Seeing the other party picking up the steamed buns that had fallen on the floor, hurriedly putting them into his mouth, and saying good things to him while eating them, Gu Tingrui felt that he was the most proud today in his life.
That's not right, there is only one prisoner in the sky jail, why are you raising eyebrows?
Another morning, several carriages stopped outside the palace. Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu were wearing Madam Gaoming's formal attire, while the other family members and servants were wearing white plain clothes.
After getting off the bus, they lined up neatly, kowtowed three times to where the emperor was, and then walked to the Tianlao to surrender.
Along the way, people from the capital were watching. Jinyiwei sent someone over, saying they were leading the way, but in fact they were more like escorts. Eight royal guards in black uniforms and official swords lined the left and right rows in front to clear the way, which was very impressive.
For a time, the Gu family became famous in the capital, and everyone mentioned the Gu family after dinner.
But they talked too much, about the dream that Mrs. Gu had entrusted to her. Mrs. Gu had been admonishing him twenty years ago to keep his position as the crown prince of the current emperor. And Miss Gu rescued Xu Mian, a member of Jinyiwei, and even talked about it with eloquence.
Before the stitches were removed, Xu Mian supported his body and reported his work to the court, proving that Gu Tingrui was not a party member of King An.
After the emperor learned about it, Gu Tingrui was reinstated and he and his family were immediately released. The mansion was unsealed, and he was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and a plaque reading "loyalty".
After the dynasty was dismissed, the emperor left Gu Tingrui behind and looked at the wound that Gu Tingrui had stitched up.
It's such a long line, and the sutures on it are deeply pierced into the flesh, and it makes the flesh hurt just by looking at it. The emperor immediately praised him and rewarded him with the best ointment in the palace and some supplements. Gu Wanxin was finally released. As a hero of the Gu family, naturally the eldest lady and the eldest young master Gu came to pick her up in person.
When she saw the young lady coming out, Furong cried: "The young lady has suffered!"
Xining frowned slightly: "Get in the car."
After being held in prison for three days, he was well fed, except for the fact that his screams were a bit disturbing.
Every meal includes meat and vegetables. Knowing that she eats rice on weekdays, the rice she was given was cooked by Jiangnan Rice. It seems that this Xu Mian still repays his kindness.
At this time, Zhang Zhong looked at the things he had sorted out. Three books had been turned over, but the two handkerchiefs were still as clean as ever, with not a single stitch missing.
What's going on with Miss Gu? He can't embroider a veil, so he can pass it on to Mr. Xu.
Well, Miss Gu only knows how to sew wounds and make quilts, but not embroidery.
When they arrived at the door of the mansion, the old lady's wet nurse was already waiting outside, helping her get out of the carriage.
"The fragrant soup for bathing has been prepared. The old lady said that the master, eldest lady, eldest lady, and eldest son will be invited to the old lady's place for a reunion dinner later." The wet nurse supported Miss Gu and said earnestly all the way. , did not leave until he reached the entrance of the courtyard.
After being fired, all the furnishings in the house were emptied out and all went to the treasury. The one thousand taels of silver rewarded by the emperor was not enough for her house. Just throw a wooden sign hanging on the door and forget it! Later, we have to wait for the plaque to come over, and the whole family will kneel to receive it and accept the emperor's favor.
This emperor is actually a bandit and a hooligan!
After taking a shower, I sat in front of the newly purchased dressing table and waited for my hair to dry. Fortunately, I took all the land deeds, banknotes, and valuable jewelry with me when I left, so I was able to purchase the starting point of property so quickly.
Furong was full of complaints in the room. The furniture made of jujube wood was far worse than the rosewood before. There were also many good things missing, such as the half-human-high red coral bonsai, flowers blooming, various shells and jewelry inlays. The screen...
Xi Ning shook his round fan, which was a large-scale commodity just bought from the street, and scolded: "Don't mention these things anymore. If you say this again, who are you dissatisfied with? Under the world, is it the king's land, don't you?" Speaking of these extraneous things, even if it costs the lives of everyone in the Gu family, the Gu family should be as loyal as Mr. Gu. Now that the emperor is so kind and aware of the situation, he reinstates the old man and lets the whole family go. The Gu family should be more grateful. Talk too much, I can’t keep you here anymore!”
When Furong heard this, she immediately knelt down, cried and said a few good words, and then slapped herself twice.
Xining saw that she was really scared, so he spared her.
Furong wiped her tears and did not dare to say anything more. She walked behind her and continued to serve.
In fact, she didn't have such a high consciousness, mainly because people from Jinyiwei were everywhere. I could write down exactly what she said to the old lady that day, maybe I can write it down now too.
If any complaints reach the ears of the emperor, even if they are slaves, they may anger the Gu family.
Fu Rong asked how to dress up, thinking that she would have to receive orders later, so she shouldn't be too elegant. So I picked out a set of red gold hair and face. Among the remaining clothes, I picked a set of peach-colored trousers and wore a long skirt of aquatic willow color. It was soft and not too ostentatious.
As soon as she finished dressing up, the old lady's Musk came over to invite her.
