Chapter 588 The Prince's White Moonlight Substitute (11)
"Master Cui, have you ever heard the saying that there are no poor families in the upper class and no noble families in the lower class? Does this concept make Master Cui think that someone like me should not be able to learn a few words and read a few books, so I must not be able to tell the difference between medicinal herbs?"
Gu Zhen didn't care what his expression was, and continued, "But we common people have a saying that goes, whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. People like me dare not look down on others, so why is Mr. Cui so prejudiced against me?"
Cui Yan didn't know how to refute. He vaguely understood something and hurriedly explained, "I am very sorry for offending you with your words. Please forgive me."
Gu Zhen was right. He was prejudiced. After years of reading poetry and books, he still had some arrogance.
But I didn't expect that the other party also had unique views on the aristocratic and poor families.
Cui Yan wanted to ask a few more questions, but Gu Zhen suddenly stepped forward and took advantage of his distraction to extend a fair and slender hand, "If Master Cui doesn't trust me, I can feel your pulse."
Cui Yan quickly retracted his gaze, not daring to look at the slender hand any longer, "How can this be allowed, a man and a woman..."
"Doctors are not divided into male and female. Why is Master Cui so old-fashioned?"
Cui Yan was often described as steady and old-fashioned. He had only heard this word from his younger brother Cui You, so he couldn't help but laugh. But the next second he also stretched out his hand frankly: "Then trouble you, young lady."
The servants of the Duke's Mansion were very considerate and lowered their heads, not daring to look any further. Gu Zhen calmed down and felt the pulse for a while, "Is Mr. Cui worried? Suffering from insomnia and dreaming too much? He is too worried, and he is not used to the climate in Beijing, so he is a little irritable, Xiao Gong..."
Before she finished, Cui Yan interrupted her: "Miss! Cui believes it, no need to say more, no need to say more, Miss, don't you want to cooperate with Cui, how about it in detail?"
He had never told anyone about these problems. Recently, because of his grandmother's illness, the trip to Beijing, and the future fate of the entire family, Cui Yan often had trouble getting enough rest. What Gu Zhen said was all right.
Gu Zhen couldn't help laughing. A conservative old scholar like Cui Yan couldn't accept a girl talking about the dark color of his urine.
Cui Yan felt even more embarrassed when he saw her smile, but for some reason he felt that this smile was so attractive that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
His upbringing and rules made him lower his eyes silently.
Gu Zhen gently explained her purpose: "I want to go to Suzhou and take my family away from the capital, but I am a blind girl, so I can only ask for help from Master Cui. This is not difficult for you."
This cooperation is beneficial to the Cui family and there is no loss.
It was not difficult for Cui Yan to remain silent, but he had no reason to do so. How could he ask Huo Yuting for help? In this world, if a man wanted a woman, he would just marry a wife and take a concubine. He couldn't possibly acknowledge his sister as well?
That's outrageous.
Before Cui Yan could think of a solution, he heard footsteps on the stone road behind him. He turned around and saw Huo Yuting and the second prince.
Shuiyue quickly tugged at Gu Zhen's sleeve: "Miss, the Second Prince and the Prince are coming this way."
Gu Zhen frowned. What were they here for?
The fact that she knew medical skills could temporarily deceive Cui Yan, who didn't know her, but it couldn't be hidden from Huo Yuting. Gu Zhen stepped forward in a hurry and said, "Mr. Cui, please keep my deal with you a secret. It would be too much trouble for me if it got out."
She approached suddenly, and Cui Yan smelled a clear and elegant lotus fragrance. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly agreed, then stepped back in compliance with the rules.
At this time, Huo Yuting and the second prince were also approaching.
Huo Yuting didn't expect to meet his sister and...Mr. Cui here.
His Royal Highness the Third Prince really wants to make friends with Cui Yan, the future head of the Cui family.
Huo Yuting's expression immediately softened: "It turns out to be Master Cui, what are you doing..."
He looked at Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen spoke first: "Brother, Zhen'er just lost her handkerchief, and Master Cui happened to pick it up for me."
Cui Yan also admitted it and bowed to the Second Prince and Huo Yuting. The Second Prince Shen Yao's mind was not on him. He smiled and moved closer to Gu Zhen.
"You are dressed so beautifully today," Shen Yao touched his chin, his eyes showing no lust, only amusement, "Little blind man, has my sixth sister told you? My mother wants you to be my little wife!"
Gu Zhen resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said with a bit of fear: "I am a humble girl, I dare not marry your Highness, please don't make fun of me."
Shen Yao laughed out loud. He was just joking, but the two men beside him had different thoughts.
Huo Yuting looked down on the Second Prince, while Cui Yan was shocked to find out that Miss Gu's situation in the capital was so difficult.
Living under someone else's roof, you never know when the prince will ask you to be his concubine.
No wonder he tried every means to leave the capital.
Cui Yan looked at Gu Zhen. She was dealing with the Second Prince, while Huo Yuting, her nominal brother, said nothing and let the Second Prince make fun of her.
He calls me a little blind man.
Cui Yan was about to rescue them when he glanced and saw his younger brother Cui You and the sixth princess Shen Junru, who were talking and laughing and walking towards him.
His face changed immediately. How rude!
The one with a worse complexion than him was Huo Yuting, who glared at his princess with a sullen face. Shen Junru's face turned pale in an instant, and she wanted to explain at a loss, but she felt that she was trying to cover up her crime.
Cui You was calm. There was nothing wrong with them. There were so many servants along the way in broad daylight. They were just chatting.
Huo Yuting gnashed his teeth and pulled Shen Junru into his arms: "I have been looking for you everywhere, and it turns out you are here!"
Smiling at other men! She's never been so happy with him!
Shen Junru felt a pain in her arm and tears welled up in her eyes. Cui You wanted to say something but was glared back by his brother.
"Sixth sister, why are you here with Cui Er instead of serving Yu Ting?" Shen Yao didn't like this sister very much. She was too boring. "Wait until I tell mother and you get beaten again, and you'll learn your lesson."
Shen Junru shuddered and lowered her head in fear. Huo Yuting subconsciously loosened his grip and stopped scolding her in public: "The feast is about to start. Take Zhen'er to the backyard. Don't be impolite."
Gu Zhen imagined the Shura Field in her mind and felt that the heroine was a bit miserable. Who could have thought that they would come here!
Shen Junru couldn't wait to leave, so she called Gu Zhen and hurried towards the backyard. Halfway through, she remembered that Gu Zhen was not feeling well, so she slowed down her pace and waited for her deliberately.
Gu Zhen walked side by side with her: "Princess, what are you afraid of?"
Shen Junru was very dazed when she heard this suddenly. Yes, what was she afraid of?
She was afraid that Huo Yuting didn’t want her, and that she wouldn’t even have a close person in this world.
He is the only one she has, even though Huo Yuting has another woman in his heart.
"Princess, I wonder if there is any misunderstanding between you and your brother? If there is any misunderstanding, it must be resolved as soon as possible." Gu Zhen hated the male and female protagonists for being so talkative that they would not say anything about a small matter.
Shen Junru thought about it carefully and realized that there were indeed many misunderstandings, but Huo Yuting was unwilling to listen to her explanation. What was the use?
When Jiang Yirou got into trouble, people misunderstood that she acted out of jealousy. After much investigation, nothing was found and the matter was left unresolved.
If she wasn't a princess, she would have been divorced long ago, right?
Gu Zhen said casually, "When my brother was recuperating in the mountains, he had a high fever and kept mumbling, calling Miss Jiang's name. He said something about her, singing the Jiangnan tune that I sang when I was a child again. How could I, a girl from the mountains, learn this?"
Shen Junru didn't take it to heart at first, but suddenly she remembered something. When she was a child, she went to Prince Huo's Mansion once. The old princess passed away, and the little Huo Yuting hid in the rockery and cried. She wore a veil, lied that she was Jiang Yirou, and sang a Jiangnan tune for the young master of the Huo family.
She learned it from the concubines in the cold palace. Her mother did not allow her to sing it, so Shen Junru had to change her name to a pseudonym.
Could it be... could it be because of this that Huo Yuting is so special to Jiang Yirou?
