Zeng Ya quickly adjusted her emotions, and continued: "This daughter-in-law is a new slave I bought after I came to the capital. I originally bought her because she was a widow and lonely at a young age. It's really pitiful. Who would have thought that she would...hey!"

Zeng Ya sighed softly, her eyes were slightly condensed, as deep as night.

After she recognized Gu Yanfei, she originally considered sending her cronies back to her hometown in Huaibei to investigate, but before she could convince her father and brother, she ran into Li Zhaodi outside Wancaotang.

About God is on her side, she originally planned to go to Wancaotang to run into Gu Yunxie, but met Li Zhaodi instead, when Li Zhaodi knocked down an old woman who was touching porcelain, the old woman asked her to pay for the medicine, Li Zhaodi said that she was Gu Yunxie's sister.

Zeng Ya acted like a good person once, and asked the nanny in charge to give Li Zhaodi the money, and then made a fool of Li Zhaodi. It was just some bait, and Li Zhaodi came to find a job by herself.

It couldn't be easier for people like Li Zhaodi to manipulate her and use her.

It was God who gave her the opportunity! Thinking about it, Zeng Ya's heart beat faster, and she said softly, "It's all my fault."

Although some things exceeded her expectations today, fortunately, there were generally no mistakes.

Zeng Ya's heart beat faster, and her eyes once again glanced in the direction of the wooden bridge on the lake.

The spring breeze blows gently, and the lake surface ripples with the wind, and the water is shining. Occasionally, a few willow leaves will fall from the willow trees by the lake, or fall on the green grass, or float on the sparkling water.

Chu Yi, dressed in a moon-white Hu suit, strolled down the wooden bridge on the lake, elegant and leisurely, with a clear smile.

On his right, Kang Wang Chuyou walked side by side with him. The uncle and nephew ignored each other like strangers.

Seven or eight young masters with different appearances followed behind, chatting and laughing, their eyebrows beaming.

The group of young masters had just stepped off the bridge, when a high-pitched and excited male voice suddenly came from the other side of the bridge: "Shen, brother Xian...wait for me!"

A young man in a lake blue Hu suit shouted and chased after him, panting for breath.

Several young masters looked back, looked at the visitor in surprise, and said, "Chu Jia, why did you come?"

"I'm already on the fast track." Chu Jia explained roughly, then saluted Chu Yi and Chu You who were at the front with a smile on his face, and then greeted the other clan princes familiarly.

"Ah Shen," Chu Jia pushed a round-faced young man in Tsing Yi with a playful smile, "Why did you ignore me when I told you just now?"

Chu Shen was staggered a step by his cousin, with a naive smile on his round face, he touched his nose, "Cousin Jia."

"Haha! Chu Jia, you don't know yet, do you?" Another square-faced young man with a straight face smiled and said, with a teasing grin, "Chu Shen is thinking about his future wife."

Chu Jia asked in surprise: "Ah Shen, are you engaged?"

"No." The square-faced son said happily, "This kid fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Du family, but his mother and concubine disagreed, so this kid just now had the courage to beg the emperor..."

"I didn't expect this kid to be so courageous now. In the past, his mother and concubine said one thing, but he didn't dare to say another thing. This is really a big problem." Another thick-eyed young man in Xuanyi sighed, "I don't know what kind of girl would fall in love with you silly boy?"

"Ah Shen has always liked beauties, so he must be a beauty." Chu Jia said with a smile.

"That's right."

"This kid is very superficial, he doesn't like talented women, he only likes beauties."

"Ah Shen, tell yourself, is she pretty?"

These young masters teased Chu Shen talking and laughing, you and I kept talking, until Chu Shen was blushing.

Chu Shen showed embarrassment, and said slowly, "I think she's pretty."

"Yo, this is beauty in the eye of the beholder!" Chu Jia coaxed, winking frivolously, and chatting with Chu You with a smile, "Uncle Kang, do you think so?"

Chu Jia thought that Kang Wang's wedding was approaching, and wanted to be refreshed on happy occasions, so she joked.

However, Chu You's face sank like water, and he glanced at Chu Jia with gloomy eyes, which made Chu Jia's heart skip a beat.

Chu Shen on the side almost choked on his saliva, with a troubled expression on his face.

Gu's house in Luwei Hutong was sealed by Jinyiwei, and the marriage between Kang Wang and Gu Yunxie was also delayed. Kang Wang was in a fit of anger, and Chu Jia really couldn't open any pot.

That's right, Chu Jia just came back from his grandfather's house in Qingzhou yesterday, so he probably doesn't know that the capital is undercurrents these days.

The other young master also secretly thought something was wrong, so he hurriedly made jokes and turned the topic back to Chu Shen: "Where is Ah Shen's sweetheart?"

"Miss Du doesn't seem to be tall."

"Is it over there..."

While talking, several sons and brothers all looked towards the crowd by the lake, staring eagerly.

"Is that purple-clothed girl standing by the willow tree Du..." Chu Jia pointed to a petite purple-clothed girl under the willow tree by the lake, and said uncertainly, "Huh? What are they doing so many people gathered together?"

"Will it be a game?"

"I don't think so."

They quickly noticed that the atmosphere of the group of people by the lake was not right, it seemed a little stiff, as if two groups of girls were confronting each other.

Even if they were standing in their position, they couldn't hear the sound of the lake at all, but they could still feel the unfriendly atmosphere between them from both sides of the confrontation.

"Those girls are arguing, aren't they?" Someone murmured softly.

"This is Jiaoniang." Chu Jia squinted at Wei Jiaoniang who was sitting on the bench seven or eight feet away, and said with a smile, "That's right, she must have quarreled with those aristocratic women again."

Chu Shen, Chu Jia and other sons of the royal family are also very familiar with Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin. They have known each other since they were young. They often play polo and hunt together.

They also know that Wei Jiaoniang and the others have always been at odds with those aristocratic women, but whenever they meet, they can always fight without saying a few words.

"Jiaoniang's fiery temper is just like her grandmother's, she can clearly like and dislike." Chu Shen laughed "puchi", "Why don't we go throwing pots, and ask her to go for a horse race together. If you run twice, you won't be angry. Gone."

"Come on, let's go over and have a look." Chu Jia greeted everyone with a loud voice, and walked towards Wei Jiaoniang by the lake in three steps at a time, as if she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

It's not so much that he's going to persuade the fight, it's better to say that he's calling everyone to go and watch the fun together.

After a group of young masters approached, they found that the atmosphere here was quite strange.

The boys and girls around the periphery were whispering among themselves, and one girl could be vaguely heard saying in disbelief: "Miss Gu Er was really engaged?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it." Another girl whispered uncertainly, "Could it be that Zhaodi who is talking nonsense?"

"They don't look like sisters, they don't look alike at all."

"But I think that Zhaodi spoke in a decent way, she doesn't seem to be suffering from hysteria."

"..."

All kinds of speculations and discussions about Gu Yanfei came and went, faintly sent to the ears of Chu Jia, Chu Shen and others with the wind.

They all subconsciously went to see Chu Yi.

Chu Yi didn't change his face, and continued to walk forward in a leisurely manner.

He looked at Gu Yanfei who was in the center of the crowd from a distance, and his eyes fell on the gorgeous and delicate hairpin inserted between her temples. With a smile on his face, An Le's ostentatious voice sounded in his ear:

"Brother Dahuang, Sister Yanfei looks great wearing that phoenix hairpin... This is called complementing each other!"

"I picked that hairpin, and I knew it was suitable for Sister Yanfei. I really have a good eye!"

That girl An Le is indeed quite discerning. The corners of Chu Yi's lips curled up, and his eyes gradually moved down from the hairpin, from the girl's plump forehead, to her shining eyes, to her small and delicate nose, to her plump and beautiful lips.

very beautiful!

Chu Shen pulled down Chu Jia's sleeve, and asked him with his eyes, did the eldest prince hear it just now?

How did he know! Chu Jia shrugged and hurried to catch up.

At this time, the people by the lake also noticed the arrival of Chu Yi and Chu You, and turned around to salute one after another:

"I have met His Royal Highness the First Prince, and King Kang."

He is here. When Gu Yanfei heard the sound, she immediately looked in Chu Yi's direction. The long string of pearl tassels on her temples shone brightly, reflecting her pupils radiantly, softly and charmingly.

The two looked at each other fixedly, and couldn't help smiling, the smile was bright and tender.

Even the surrounding air seemed to be a little sweeter as the two looked at each other.

Even if Gu Yanfei didn't ask, he could tell from Chu Yi's burning eyes at the moment that he liked her now, and it was not in vain for her to walk around in this heavy hairpin.

The dimples on Gu Yanfei's lips deepened, and the dimples were delicate and charming.

Zeng Ya fixedly stared at the smile on Gu Yanfei's lips, her eyes were unusually dark and deep.

She bowed her knees gracefully and blessed her, and said seriously: "Miss Gu Er, of course I am wrong, but you shouldn't either..."

She sighed faintly, pursed her lips, and seemed to hesitate to speak. After hesitating for a while, she continued: "I hope that the girl will listen to my persuasion. Facts are facts after all. Forever."

"Water flows to low places, and people go to high places... It is human nature for you to want to find a good marriage, but once it involves the royal family, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Zeng Ya showed a look of unbearable, these words were tactful and subtle, to the point, without being too explicit, but it was obvious.

here we go again! These pretentious aristocratic daughters are starting to twist around again! ! The corners of Wei Jiaoniang's mouth twitched, not hiding the displeasure on her face.

Wei Jiaoniang could hear Zeng Ya's subtext, and other people could also hear that Zeng Ya was clearly saying that Gu Yanfei had concealed her past engagements in order to marry the eldest prince, pointing out that Gu Yanfei had committed a crime. The crime of bullying the king!

If there is no proof, Zeng Ya wouldn't dare to criticize Gu Yanfei, right? !

For a while, the sound of gasping for air kept coming and going, but no one spoke.

Everyone's expressions became very strange, and they all glanced at Chu Yi who was not far away, thinking: I don't know if the eldest prince heard it.

If Gu Yanfei had really engaged in an engagement, how would the First Prince react?

Now that this matter has caused a lot of trouble, everyone knows, whether it is true or not, there must be an explanation, it is not something that the eldest prince can lightly expose with a single word.

Otherwise, what is the majesty of the royal family!

In this tense atmosphere, Gu Yanfei laughed.

"Heh." Gu Yanfei smiled, as if he had watched a wonderful show, and the smile was endless.

Those clear and wise eyes stared directly at Zeng Ya's Yintang, as if he could see through people's thoughts and thoughts, and also seemed to be able to understand the cause and effect in the world.

She said lightly, "Miss Zeng is crazy."

With a smile on Gu Yanfei's lips, he spoke calmly, but in a serious manner.

"..." Zeng Ya's heart trembled inexplicably.

A cool wind suddenly blew from the lake.

The sun shines on Zeng Ya's face and body through the branches and leaves of the willow tree, casting mottled and messy light and shadows. When the wind blows, the light and shadows float, vaguely, as if there are some shadows floating over her face, and it seems that something is about to come from her. burst out from under the skin...

The atmosphere suddenly became gloomy and cold, as if turning back from spring to cold winter, even the wind seemed to have a chill, gloomy, and even the surrounding sunshine seemed not so bright.

Those who were whispering were all startled, and they all fell silent, and the surroundings were dead silent.

Everyone felt their hairs stand on end little by little.

As we all know, the second girl Gu is a Taoist expert with boundless magic power. Since she claims that Zeng Ya is crazy, could she see something from Zeng Ya?

What they can't see, but what only Miss Gu can see?

It is said that the real Tiangang who assisted Emperor Taizu had a pair of "divine eyes" that could see through yin and yang and spy on the secrets of heaven. Not only did he serve Emperor Taizu with his insightful eyes, he also saw through and resolved many insidious spells against Taizu.

Does the second girl Gu also have a pair of "divine eyes"?

Lu Qin couldn't help tugging at Gu Yanfei's cuff, and asked, "Yanfei, what happened to Zeng Ya?"

Ever since the matter of the Hua family, Lu Qin has been in awe of these matters of the Taoist sect.

At this time, hearing what Gu Yanfei said, the more she looked at Zeng Ya, the more she felt that something was wrong with him.

The Zeng family is an aristocratic family, and they have always paid the most attention to rules and etiquette.

Today, Zeng Ya's behavior is full of weirdness. She brought a servant who didn't even teach the rules to the royal palace for no reason. normal.

Either Zeng Ya deliberately provoked her, or she was crazy?

Most of the others also thought of going with Lu Qin, swallowing hard.

so--

"Could it be that you're really crazy?" Tang Jinyun asked the questions in everyone's heart in a nonchalant manner.

Her voice was actually very soft, but it was very clear in the silent atmosphere.

After the voice fell, the surrounding became quieter, and many people held their breath.

Now, everyone forgot what happened to Li Zhaodi just now, and all their attention turned to the issue of "madness".

All eyes were on Zeng Ya, with a bit of fear, a bit of shock, and a bit of disgust.

Tang Jinyun, who came back to his senses, took a few steps back to avoid it, fearing that he would get dirty.

Zeng Ya felt that everyone's eyes were piercing her body like countless needles, and looked at Gu Yanfei angrily, barely maintaining her elegant demeanor, but her voice had already cooled down, and said: "Miss Gu, the mistake is Wrong, you are deceiving me too much by pouring dirty water on me like this!"

When she said the last sentence, her tone was ice-cold, and she felt that Gu Yanfei was simply being dizzy.

Ridiculous, really ridiculous! Did Gu Yanfei think that she could cover up her past by beating herself up? !

"How can a crazy person admit that he is crazy!" Wei Jiaoniang crossed her arms, looked at Zeng Ya with a livid face, and sighed, "I once heard my mother talk about Zeng Yue, and Zeng Yue is crazy. Bar……"

Zeng Yue is also considered a legendary figure, who died fifteen years ago. Originally, he was mediocre, and at the age of twenty he had never even read the Four Books and Five Classics, but after he fell into the water and was rescued at the age of twenty-one, he suddenly became enlightened and became able to speak poems in just a few months. Within a few days, he wrote a few poems that can be called masterpieces, such as "Thoughts in a Quiet Night", "Xia Ke Xing", "Happy Rain on a Spring Night" and so on, which were praised by those literati.

Later, he kept saying that he could make gunpowder and cannons, but in the end he blew up the house instead. A servant in the family was injured because of this, and one leg was cut off by the blown iron piece, but Zeng Yue claimed that the broken leg could be reattached.

All kinds of crazy words are unimaginable.

Zeng Yue's family tried to persuade and punish him, but in vain, so they invited a Taoist priest to visit him. The Taoist said that Zeng Yue was no longer haunted by evil spirits when he fell into the water, so his behavior was very different from before.

Zeng Yue resolutely refused to admit it, saying that the Taoist priest was a liar who was deceived and abducted. In the end, he was burned alive by the Taoist priest's method, and his death was quite tragic.

He was twenty-five when he died.

Many people present have read Zeng Yue's poems, and heard family members or husbands mention Zeng Yue's deeds. At this time, when they looked at Zeng Ya, they felt creepy.

"Zeng Yue?" Fan Mushuang blinked and said thoughtfully, "I remember, is he the ancestor of the Zeng family?"

"Could it be that..." Madness will be passed on to future generations?

Even if Fan Mushuang didn't say the following words, most of the people next to him thought of going in this direction, looking at Zeng Ya with almost fear.

They only believed four or five points at first, but now they have seven or eight points.

Could it be that the evil spirit that possessed Zeng Yue back then has not left yet, and now...

Zeng Ya's face turned pale, and even the fingertips holding the handle of the round fan began to turn pale.

There was a crack in the gentle and calm appearance.

She gritted her teeth and said sternly, "I'm not crazy!"

She only felt that the soles of her feet were cold, and fear quickly spread from the bottom of her heart, intertwined into a dense and large net to engulf her.

She used to firmly believe that everyone would not believe Gu Yanfei's nonsense, until now she realized that she had neglected Gu Yanfei. Gu Yanfei was not only the second girl of the Gu family, but also the sweetheart of the eldest prince. Not her match.

Gu Yanfei's words have their own prestige.

At this moment, Zeng Ya suddenly felt why the wall was overthrown by everyone.

She was afraid, afraid that others would not believe her, afraid that others would believe Gu Yanfei!

Then, she becomes a "crazy devil".

Zeng Ya became more and more uneasy, and wanted Tang Jinyun to speak for her, but when she turned her head, she realized that Tang Jinyun had disappeared at some point.

Not only Tang Jinyun, but also several other close friends in the boudoir around her also backed away at the same time, the wariness and disgust in their eyes overflowed.

Suddenly an open space appeared around her, as if an invisible wall separated her from the people around her.

With a thought in her mind, Wei Jiaoniang rolled her eyes, her pupils sparkled, and sighed: "Hey, she is so young, she is so pitiful. Yan Fei, is she the same as her ancestor Zeng Yue?"

"It must be." Lu Qin hurriedly said.

"It's not what she wanted." Gu Yanfei looked at Zeng Ya with a sad face, "She is crazy, her mind is in a mess, and she just brought the sister of the future Concubine Kang to me here!"

"No, I didn't!" Zeng Ya became even more excited, and her high-pitched and sharp voice was a little broken.

Under the emotional agitation, the description seemed a little embarrassed, and her body was no longer gentle and elegant as usual.

However, Gu Yanfei ignored her, instead turned his face to the right a little, glanced at Chu You who was approaching not far away, and asked with a half-smile: "My lord, am I right?"

It's not that the rhythm is slow, it's that I'm less (cover my face)
