042: Are you so stingy?
Luo Xin didn't seem to care about Gu Qingyi's coldness, as if this question was just a formality. After Gu Qingyi replied, he nodded and ignored her.
However, the wife of the patriarch continued to whisper to Gu Qingyi, mainly inquiring about Huikang's news openly and secretly. For Gu's mother, she only asked a question and stopped mentioning it. She could not help but feel a little arrogant in her words and expressions, and did not value Gu Qingyi, the junior.
After entering the main hall, Gu Qingyi knelt on the mat, watching Luo Xin, who was wearing a wide sleeve and robe, tempting each other to talk to Song Fengyu, trying his best to avoid the government, but he played a very decent job of Xuan Tan.
This is the first time that such an emperor uncle has seen someone with a bad temper. Yan Lai can have such a calm way to deal with him. This is a bit inconsistent with his personality.
However, after this discussion, we can see the attitude of the Luo family. They do not want to offend the emperor's uncle, but they will never have anything to do with him.
Luo Ju sat in the last seat, and as his identity, he was naturally not qualified to talk to the emperor. Even his brother, the eldest grandson of the Luo family, was obediently sitting with him.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on the Gu cousin again. They naturally heard the reputation of Huikang's number one beauty. At this time, he felt that the rumors were true.
Ladies raised by families like them are naturally good, but it is rare to have such outstanding looks like cousins.
Especially her soft and obedient appearance following the emperor's uncle made him sigh in his heart.
A girl like her cousin is just a vassal even if she is the number one beauty and meets a man like the emperor.
Her attitude towards the Luo family was so cold, which was probably related to the emperor's attitude towards the Luo family. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a pity.
He originally wanted to repair the relationship between the two families, but as soon as the emperor arrived today, he knew it wouldn't work.
Gu Qingyi didn't know that Song Fengyu took the blame for her. She just simply didn't want to get along with Luo. After all, according to their previous behavior, she was not a kind person. Moreover, even though she knew that the ambition of King Qi was still going to marry him, it showed that she was not a righteous person at heart.
When Luo's family had a meal to prepare to say goodbye, Luo Xin seemed to have Gu Qingyi in his eyes, and looked at her with a loving smile, "You are heading to Yuzhou for recuperation. The journey is long, and it is naturally reassuring to have the emperor's escort. It's just that the mountains are high and the road is far away. I have someone prepare some things available on the road for you, don't refuse."
Gu Qingyi lowered her sleeves and thanked her. Since she gave her in front of the emperor, she would definitely not be too shabby. However, listening to the light tone of the Clan Chief Luo, it would not be too heavy.
In the turbulent times, the imperial court has not minted coins for two generations. The copper coins circulating on the market are many impurities and light in weight, so few people use them. Therefore, silk is the main force in circulation, and barter becomes the norm.
Mrs. Luo smiled reservedly at this moment, and looked at Gu Qingyi's expression with a bit of arrogance and spoke slowly, "It's mostly silk, it's convenient for you to use flowers on the road. In addition, I also brought some food and other items to facilitate your use on the road."
Gu Qingyi listened to Mrs. Luo's tone that was high and almost like giving, and she sneered in her heart, but she didn't show any signs on her face. She just said lightly: "Mrs. Luke is bothering."
Neither he was happy with his expression nor was he disliked. Mrs. Luo's gaze at Gu Qingyi changed slightly.
Song Fengyu's eyes faintly swept over Mrs. Luo, walked to Gu Qingyi, lowered his head and said softly, "It's not too late, I have to hurry up, let's go now."
Uncle's attitude could not tell the joy or anger, so Mrs. Luo looked at her husband with some anxiety.
The expression of the clan leader Luo remained unchanged and sent the person out. After he walked away, he returned to the mansion with a dark face and looked at his wife, "You only have that little thing?"
Mrs. Luo's face turned pale, "I just want to test it..."
"Uncle the Emperor comes with him, how can the test be at this time?" The patriarch Luo took a deep breath. Although they had agreed on the test in advance, the emperor cannot adapt to the situation as soon as he comes. "How can the Luo family lose such a face?"
Thinking of this, I looked at my wife with a dark face, "Can the ox cart be delivered?"
"not yet."
"Double it." The patriarch Luo threw down the words and left.
Mrs. Luo's face was green and white, but she didn't dare to disobey her husband's words. She immediately doubled before the ox cart that gave the gift, but she couldn't swallow her breath and felt ache.
