But She’s So Charming

It didn't rain tonight, and the starlight outside the window looked bright, but it couldn't help making people flustered.

Even the scent of flowers in the yard was full of bitterness.

Tang Wu returned to his Yunxiang Pavilion, lying on the couch, with his eyes wide open, recalling what Lian Shiyin had just said.

It's a good saying that life is involuntary, and death cannot be controlled.

Could it be that when she was born, God had already written the sad and miserable words of her life?

Tang Wu admitted that she had never done anything evil, and she had never prayed to gods, but only this time, she picked up a Buddhist bead that she had never believed in her wrist, and learned the same way that Yu Niang usually did, and said it in a very slow voice. Two sentences, Nan Wu Amitabha.

But the day was not fulfilled, and Tang Wu's dream was broken the next morning.

Before the noon sun rose, she heard Gu Jiuniang's "Uncle."

Even Gu Jiuniang himself didn't expect that Cheng Anbo would really agree to yesterday's appointment and personally send the "gift money".

Today's gift money is not an exaggeration.

In other words, this "gift money" happened to be sent to Gu Jiuniang's heart.

At this pavilion banquet hosted by Gu Jiuniang, others would only think that the woman was very ambitious, but only Gu Jiuniang knew that she had only one purpose-she wanted Tang Wu to be sent to the back house of the dignitaries.

Today, Cheng Anbo's "gift money" is the key to Tang Wu's becoming a serious aunt.

Looking at Gu Jiuniang's flattering appearance, Amber Cheng smiled undiminished on the surface, but the opposite was true in his heart.

He originally thought that the old bustard could have some extraordinary insights, so it seemed that he was just someone who could send it away with a few casual promises.

Cheng Anbo raised his eyebrows, "When is the master planning to bring Miss Tang?"

Gu Jiuniang blinked, lifted the veil with her left hand, and covered her mouth with a sweet smile: "Uncle joked, and the uncle looks very good at Wu'er. That is her blessing, and Jiuniang wants to take her to him soon. Lord, it’s just that today... I’m afraid it’s really inconvenient."

Cheng Amber said eagerly: "What's the inconvenience?"

"It's all my fault that the girl was greedy last night, she ate too much grapes, and her face was a bit swollen today. But if the uncle really wants to see her today, why don't you listen to her concubine, can you change it?"

Hearing this, the smile on Cheng Anbo's face instantly solidified. He was no longer familiar with the methods of this flower alley. He had already seen enough of Long Wangshu!

Seeing that Cheng Anbo had written his anger on his face, Gu Jiuniang quickly stood on tiptoe and whispered in Cheng Anbo's ear.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Cheng Amber's already green face instantly changed color.

Given Amber's preferences, how could Gu Jiuniang know.

His favorite is nothing more than the fragrant white jade feet of women.

Gu Jiuniang arranged Cheng Anbo in the side hall, and turned around to let Ning Zhi bring Tang Wu quickly.

When the incident happened suddenly, she could only take the next step.

—

Tang Wu put on the veil and was sent to a screen by Gu Jiuniang.

This screen is inlaid with a painting that Gu Jiuniang loves the most, which is the "View of Living in a Mountain in the Southwest" drawn by the famous painter Su Lai in Beijing.

But when did this painting have a fist hole?

And behind this hole, Tang Wu could still vaguely see, a man's...girdle?

Tang Wu was faintly disturbed, just about to speak, he was held by Gu Jiuniang on the shoulder.

Gu Jiuniang leaned over her ear and said, "No matter what happens for a while, please remember to keep quiet. Don't open this screen. If you really can't stand it, call me."

Gu Jiuniang looked at Tang Wu who was in horror, and said that he didn't care about it. That must be a fake. But Tang Wu is like a lamb that has been raised for a long time to her, and in the first month of the year, there is no reason to be reluctant to slaughter.

So she winked at Ning Zhi on the side, and quietly walked out of the room.

Ning Zhi saw that Tang Wu had already sat down, so he couldn't help but began to take off her shoes and socks...

Tang Wu's heart was pounding, and the hand holding the armrest was also tightening little by little.

Although Tang Wu did not pick up the guest, she also understood what it meant, so she did not resist, nor did she make a single sound...

She looked down at the delicate copper basin near her feet. What was reflected in the water was exactly the dilated pupils she hid behind the veil.

Her vermilion lips trembled slightly, as if asking herself: You knew there would be today, didn't you?

After a very long moment, when Ning Zhi was ready, she lifted one of Tang Wu's jade foot through the hole in the screen.

This action... is completely different from what Tang Wu wanted.

This kind of fear full of unknowns really made her tremble.

She looked at sister Ning Zhi imploringly, but Ning Zhi couldn't help her at all, so she whispered in her ear: "Wu'er, Renren, Renren will pass."

Tang Wu's hands couldn't stop shaking, she didn't know what the person sitting across from her was going to do... She only noticed the airflow falling on her toes, like breathing between her nose.

Tang Wu became more and more frightened, and couldn't help but shrink the white and tender jade feet. But not wanting her to move, a pair of rough hands directly held her feet.

At this time, she was like a rabbit in the forest being stared at by a tiger, caught by a beast, life and death were in a single thought.

At this moment, she had already forgotten what Jiuniang had told her. She turned her head and grabbed the corner of Ning Zhi's clothes, and finally shed tears, "Sister Ning Zhi, save me, Wuer is afraid."

Tang Wu's voice is soft, and this soft tone is dyed with crying, it is even more special.

The big palm behind the screen kept rubbing on her feet, and it was so crisp and itchy that she couldn't bear it.

She waited for a while, and saw that Gu Jiuniang couldn't wait to come in, so she wiped a tear, and let go of the person's **** regardless.

Between pushing and shoving, even the tea prepared on the table smashed to pieces all over the floor.

The house is already in a mess.

At this time, Gu Jiuniang opened the door, and at a glance she saw Tang Wu barefoot, sitting on the ground and exhaling, looking really embarrassed.

She felt tight, and quickly went around the screen to apologize to the person.

She frowned, not knowing how to speak, and saw Cheng Amber suddenly stand up and laugh with her palms.

"Master, I still suspected that you were playing mystery in this capital, but when I saw it today, I knew the news that you had sent out, it was still humble!"

In such a tone, it was obvious to the individual that Amber was already exuberant, and he didn't even want to blame it at all.

Gu Jiuniang calmed down, took advantage of the good time, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, this girl is really naughty by her concubine, she is very timid, and she just made her laugh."

Cheng Anbo said again: "You don't have to be polite, she is very good! If such a woman enters my Cheng Anbo Mansion, I will naturally provide her with good clothes and food, so that she will not be wronged."

After speaking, he laughed a few more times.

But the sound fell into a needle, and when the needle entered Tang Wu's ear, it was as harsh as it was.

After this experience, Tang Wu was even more unable to sleep.

She seemed to be able to see a potbellied man laughing at her as soon as she closed her eyes.

—

The next day, Tang Wu, as usual, opened his voice early in the morning under Gu Jiuniang's gaze, and sang four or five songs in a row.

After singing the last song "Clock Tower Moonlight", she nodded slightly, waiting for the judgement.

Gu Jiuniang was listening to the song with her eyes half-closed, but she couldn't help frowning deeper and deeper.

Every capital went wrong, which was obviously intentional.

"Are you deliberately trying to oppose me?" Gu Jiuniang said.

Tang Wu raised his head and met Gu Jiuniang's eyes without answering, just showing her the red eyes.

Look, just a day's work, this little face has lost a circle, it is really impossible to punish it!

Gu Jiuniang suppressed the anger in her heart and sighed for a long time: "Wu'er, how many times do you want me to tell you before you are obedient? It seems that Amber seems to be lewd, but you must also be clear that they are royal relatives. Guoqi, if ordinary girls want to climb him, I am afraid they will have to spend some thought. These years, I have taught you to sing, Yu Niang teaches you to dance, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are the same. Now relying on your ability , Even when he arrives at his mansion, it is nothing to be afraid of!"

On weekdays, Tang Wu is not a crying woman, but when she listened to Gu Jiuniang’s words today, she couldn’t stop tears on her face...

Don't say, her pitiful little appearance is really a sharp gentle knife.

But this gentle knife, once it met Gu Jiuniang's ten thousand golden shield, it was useless.

After all, Gu Jiuniang, who had received the gift of Amber, had already accepted it, and if there were no other changes, this matter would be the same as a certainty.

People may not have blessings, but they have no sins. Gu Jiuniang felt that Tang Wu was the same, whether he was desperate or unwilling.

Recognizing fate is just a matter of time.

"Boom boom boom!" There was a sudden knock on the door outside.

There are many rules in Junmengyuan, and knocking on the door is one of them. On weekdays, greetings are tapped at intervals, while sending messages is tapped with a single tone, but there is only one reason for using continuous tapping like this.

It's a big deal.

Gu Jiuniang made a silent gesture to Tang Wu, and then quickly walked in the direction of the door.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Ning Zhi's trembling hand holding a sign firmly.

"Jiu...Jiu Niang, this...this..."

Seeing that she couldn't speak clearly, Gu Jiuniang reached out and grabbed the sign in her hand.

This robbed Gu Jiuniang, a well-informed Gu Jiuniang, couldn't help being surprised by this brand.

"Ning Zhi, where is the person who gave this brand, did you see clearly?" Gu Jiuniang said loudly.

Ning Zhi knelt on the ground with a plop, and quickly handed Gu Jiuniang another note.

At this moment, Gu Jiuniang's heart had already touched her throat.

Even she herself couldn't believe it, she actually received a sign with Song characters engraved.

The Song character is the national surname.

She naturally knows who can use this surname.

After a while, Gu Jiuniang looked back at Tang Wu, and said every word: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky."

Immediately afterwards, she said to Ning Zhi: "You quickly fetch the list from the warehouse, and ask the people downstairs to notify them one by one, saying that the pavilion banquet is delayed."

Gu Jiuniang thought, if she really wins the eyes of nobles, she will decide the rules of this alley from now on.
