Chapter 243 A way out

Author: Dead branches bloom in spring

Gu Jingjue took a deep breath and swallowed the unwillingness in her heart.

Ignoring Ruixue's somewhat contemptuous look, she put on the docile look she often practiced alone in front of the mirror.

"What Princess Ning said is that my Gu family has little capital, and my father will not allow me to use the military and political affairs in the north as a bargaining chip. Even if the left prime minister coerces and induces, I will not compromise."

Ruixue cursed in her heart. She knew that Jiang Huai, an old fox, would never give up when he saw that Zhao Fengnian was no longer useful.

Fortunately, Gu Jingjue and his daughter were able to carry it away and did not board Jiang Huai's pirate ship.

Zhao Fengnian had a good eye for seeing people. No wonder he would strongly recommend Gu Chengyun to take charge of the military and political affairs in the north on his behalf.

Ruixue knew that the purpose of Gu Jingjue's words was nothing more than to express her feelings and remind herself that they, father and daughter, were from Prince Ning's side.

I have lost some opportunities for Prince Ning, so it is not too much to ask for some reward now.

It was not that Ruixue was unwilling to help Gu Jingjue, but she just didn't like Gu Jingjue's attitude that was half requesting and half threatening.

She picked her fingers carelessly, wanting to see what Gu Jingjue could do for this matter.

"Isn't this what General Gu should do? The person who recommended him is Prince Ning. If he does not hesitate to collude with Zuo Xiang for immediate benefits, do you think it is possible for your father to go to the north?"

Gu Jingjue frowned slightly, worried that she had said the wrong thing, and Ruixue never acted according to common sense.

She said this. If the words reached Prince Ning's ears, wouldn't it make Prince Ning suspicious of his father?

But the words have already been spoken, and it is too late to take them back.

He could only bite the bullet and say: "Princess Ning has misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with my father and Prince Ning in the first place. I just asked Princess Ning to give me a chance in my own name."

After hearing this, Ruixue sneered: "What you said is inconsistent, isn't it? If you want to cooperate with me, the only bargaining chip in your hand is your father's official position. Now it's in your own name. What do you have?

How can you help me if you go to the north?"

Gu Jingjue has some scheming ideas, but most of them are forced to be used under forced circumstances.

It has no effect at all on Ruixue.

After a few words, Ruixue was able to break her guard.

No matter how strong she is, she is just a 17 or 18-year-old girl. Her already red eyes instantly burst into tears.

She didn't want Ruixue who was laughing at her to see her, and her aggrieved face changed.

Ruixue couldn't bear to see Gu Jingjue like this.

She needs help and can act as a successor in the north.

Logically speaking, with Gu Chengyun's relationship, Gu Jingjue is a very suitable candidate.

But Gu Jingjue is too purposeful and not honest enough.

Ruixue always had to test her determination before she could safely leave this matter to her.

Ruixue was not worried that if she really rejected Gu Jingjue, she would turn to Jiang Huai to find a way out.

Even if she is willing, Zhao Fengnian may not be willing.

Seeing that the conversation could no longer continue, Gu Jingjue's heart dropped.

She made a mistake in judgment and was too anxious.

If she were in Prince Ning's Mansion that day, Ruixue would ask her if she would like to help deal with the Shantang affairs after going to the north.

She agreed and if she found another opportunity to talk to Ruixue about participating in business, she probably wouldn't reject her.

It was him who missed the opportunity, and there was no reason to blame Ruixue now.

What's more, she is an unpopular existence in the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto.

Previously, in order to obtain information from the northern border, he deliberately approached Qi Qilu.

She is probably someone who is not worthy of trust in Ruixue's eyes.

After thinking about this, Gu Jingjue stood up and left with some disappointment.

Ruixue was a little worried about leaving such an important matter as the northern trade route to Gu Jingjue.

But it's not like I'm unwilling to give her any chance.

He stood up and said goodbye, looking at Gu Jingjue's somewhat lonely back.

"My previous proposal is still valid. If you are willing, I can still leave some matters to you for assistance regarding the Northern Shantang."

Gu Jingjue didn't believe her ears, turned around happily, and agreed without thinking.

Ruixue smiled lightly, looking at Gu Jingjue's expression now, which was somewhat sincere.

"That's it. Before setting off, please help bring a batch of supplies. I will prepare them in the next few days, and you can bring someone to pick them up around the tenth day of the lunar month."

Only then did Gu Jingjue believe that Ruixue had really given her a chance.

"It's a deal."

Ruixue smiled and agreed: "It's a deal, I'll tell you in detail when the time comes."

Seeing noon, Ruixue left Gu Jingjue to eat before leaving.

Gu Jingjue waved her hands and said to Ruixue: "No, this cannot be done carelessly. I will go back earlier to make preparations. Princess Ning will stay."

After sending Gu Jingjue away, Ruixue turned around to find Rong Niang.

Lunch has been put on the table, and Rong Niang is waiting for Ruixue to come back.

After washing her hands, she quickly pulled Ruixue to the table and sat down.

"What, did you run back crying because of your popularity?"

Ruixue took the bowls and chopsticks handed over by Rong Niang and looked at her curiously.

"Almost. But how did you know that she would be angry and cry? Gu Jingjue looks very arrogant and strong."

Rong Niang blinked, looking excited about sharing gossip with her best friend.

"Early when she didn't know you, when she first came to Kyoto and squeezed into our circle, she was made angry and cried by other sisters many times. But gradually, her skin became thicker, and she would just pretend she didn't see any small things.

When I heard it, I got very angry and stayed alone for a while, but I still liked to join in the fun."

Ruixue curled her lips: "You guys are really cruel. She didn't do anything wrong. Why do you always bully her?"

Rong Niang nodded slightly: "Well, although everyone may think so in their hearts, the environment is different. If there are too many people gathered together, they will always do inappropriate things and say things that they don't mean. It hurts.

Only in others can one reflect one's own superiority."

Ruixue shook her head, expressing that she didn't understand the evil thoughts these girls would stir up when they got together.

Rong Niang helped Ruixue pick up the vegetables.

"Everyone has a dark shadow in his heart, which cannot be explained to outsiders or shown to others. Sometimes if you relax a little, it will spread and you will do things that even you will be afraid of when you think about it afterwards."

Ruixue almost wanted to applaud Rong Niang for saying such philosophical words.

After this girl came back from the dead, she was really enlightened and matured a lot.

"By the way, I asked Gu Jingjue to help take those things of yours to the north. They are mostly yellow and white things. It will definitely not be safe if you go with them. Ask her to take them with you and go with the army. You can also save a lot.

thing."

Rong Niang nodded in agreement, Ruixue's arrangement would not be wrong.
