"Who?"
Gu Rong didn't know whether he heard it clearly or not, so he turned his head and asked her.
"that is-"
Gu Wuyou was still a little shy in her heart. This was the first time she had talked about her general to anyone since she woke up. She lowered her head and blushed. Her slender fingers were clutching the sachet tightly, her heart was full of emotions. Shy and embarrassed, even that heart was beating a little faster.
"Bang bang bang bang", like the sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve.
"Li Qinyuan from Duke Wei's mansion, he..." Gu Wuyou raised his head shyly, looked at her third brother, and asked, "Third brother, do you know him?"
"Why did you ask him all of a sudden?" Gu Rong heard it clearly this time. He frowned, and his face, which was always warm and smiling, was unusual and seemed a little disgusting.
Gu Wuyou looked at it for a while, some didn't understand what was going on
The general in her memory had a high position and was very popular. Even her father praised him a lot. In her impression, no one seemed to dislike the general. They all respected him, loved him, and even had many People treat him like a god.
But why did the third brother show such an expression, with disgust and contempt, as if he didn't even want to mention the name.
Gu Rong was also in doubt.
He didn't understand why his little cousin who had been living in Langya all of a sudden asked about the slut in the Li family? It stands to reason that Xiao Wu should have never seen him before, why did he mention this name as soon as he came back, and...
Gu Rong recalled how Xiao Wu looked when he talked about Li Qinyuan just now, completely shy like a daughter's family.
He frowned, his eyes fixed on Gu Wuyou, and he checked the possibility of everything in his heart. He didn't know what to think, suddenly grabbed Gu Wuyou's arm, and asked in a calm voice, "Did you stay in Jintai Temple just now? Seeing him, what did he do to you?!"
Gu Rong used to be a laughing man, but now he looks serious.
Gu Wuyou was taken aback by his appearance, and after a while, she said in a daze, "...No, I didn't see him." If she had seen the general at the temple just now, how could she come back so easily? Must follow people.
Gu Rong didn't believe it, and looked at Bai Lu and Hong Shuang behind Gu Wuyou.
The two girls were obviously also frightened by his appearance. How old is Bai Lu? She grimaced at this moment, pulled a handful of red cream, and asked in a low voice, "You accompanied Miss just now, what did you see? people?"
Hong Shuang regained her senses and shook her head hurriedly, "No, just, just a few monks, no one else."
After Gu Rong heard the words, the expression on his face softened. He breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Gu Wuyou. Seeing her stunned face, he only thought she was frightened, so he coaxed softly, "Don't blame third brother for this, Xiaowu. Nervous, Li Qi has always been stubborn, the third brother is afraid that you will be bullied."
Gu Wuyou was still dumbfounded and did not speak.
She was not frightened by Gu Rong's appearance, but by his words - "Li Qi has always been stubborn, third brother is afraid that you will be bullied".
Isn't she hallucinating
The third brother said that this person is... the general? Isn't he really the same name as the general
But it's impossible to think about it, not to mention the honorable surname Li, let alone a coincidence, it won't be the same as the ranking.
Gu Rong's room was still saying, "Third brother, I don't know where you got the name from, but it's better for you to have less contact with this person..." He followed the etiquette of Confucius and Mencius since he was a child, and he was a gentleman, so he said behind his back. You can't do anything bad about people.
After hesitating for a while, he just patted Gu Wuyou's head with his hand and sighed, "The third brother on the left and right will not harm you."
When Gu Wuyou heard this, he was even more stunned.
She didn't understand why the respected and beloved general in her memory would look like this in the mouth of the third brother. In the end... What went wrong
Gu Rong wanted to say more, but the Duke's Mansion had already arrived, so he glanced at Gu Wuyou and suppressed his thoughts for the time being.
"Miss, it's time for us to get off the carriage." Bai Lu glanced at Gu Wuyou, who was not looking well, and gently pulled down her sleeve.
"… Um."
Gu Wuyou came back to his senses and replied softly.
In any case, go and say goodbye to grandma and the others. As for the general's affairs, let someone check it later. Although the third brother has never lied to her, she will never believe that the general will be such a person. There must be something wrong!
main hall.
Gu Wuyou kowtowed to Madam Gu, then greeted Fu Jiang and Mrs. Liu, and stood listening to Madam Gu's "instruction".
Mrs. Gu held the rosary in her hand, and she was still as calm as before, with neither enthusiastic nor cold attitude, "You are tired all the way, and it was supposed to be dinner in my yard tonight, but I have not been healthy for a while. It's very comfortable, you don't have to be uncomfortable eating with me, let's go back to your own room to eat."
"Yes."
Gu Wuyou replied softly, not knowing what to think, and then said, "Grandma prepared a lot of medicinal materials for me, and there is a medicine in it that you used to eat in the past. I will send it to you later."
She said it normally, but the people in the room were stunned.
Not to mention Fu Jiang and Mrs. Liu, even Mrs. Gu, who has never been emotionally fluctuated, rarely stopped her hand holding the rosary. She raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Wuyou. After a while, she nodded with a light tone. said: "You have a heart."
She seemed tired, and she didn't want to talk anymore, she said, "Okay, we'll see you all, your father will be back at night, as for your second sister, seventh sister, and your ninth brother Shang In the school, it is estimated that we can only meet tomorrow."
"Okay, you all go back."
After she finished speaking, she ignored them, and was supported by someone and went to the inner room. The people who stayed were naturally sent off again, and they didn't get up until they couldn't see anyone.
Gu Rong asked Mrs. Gu to be safe before, so he went to work. He didn't take the imperial examination route, but took care of the Gu family's property. Usually there are many things and it is not easy.
At this moment, apart from the maid and the old woman, only Gu Wuyou, Fu Jiang, and the Liu family were left.
Compared to Fu Jiang's discomfort when facing Gu Wuyou, Mrs Liu held Gu Wuyou's hand very affectionately and sighed, "Poor see, why did you lose so much weight? I heard that you were there before. Langya fell into the lake, how are you now?"
Gu Wuyou nodded and withdrew his hand, "Aunt Lao is concerned, I'm fine."
She is still not used to being so close to people.
Liu Shi only felt normal when she saw her like this. Just now, Gu Wuyou suddenly said such a caring word, and it was strange that it made people uncomfortable.
She thought about it, then glanced at Fu Jiang, who was still standing aside, as if hesitating whether to come forward to speak, raised her eyebrows, continued to smile and said to Gu Wuyou, "Your third brother went out on a boat a while ago, You brought back a lot of good things from overseas, come back and have a look, what do you like?"
Gu Wuyou nodded and said nothing.
Bai Lu knew that she didn't want to talk anymore, so she stepped forward and said to help: "Madam, third lady, our young lady has come all the way and is tired. I will accompany her back to the house to rest first."
Liu's naturally should be fine.
Fu Jiang also said, "Come on, I've already set the ground dragons on fire, and the bed tents and quilts have also been replaced with new ones..." She didn't pretend to be concerned, and wanted to say more. But thinking of Gu Wuyou's reaction in the past, for fear of annoying her, he hurriedly kept his mouth shut.
Although Gu Wuyou has a lifetime of experience, she still doesn't get along well with people.
She was like this in her previous life. She couldn't speak or behave. She always offended many people invisibly. She felt that Fu Jiang had robbed her of her mother's status, so she couldn't help but wear small shoes.
But in fact, Fu Jiang did nothing wrong.
Her mother left early, leaving only her bloodline. Although there were many cousins in the family, there were no male descendants from the big house, so the grandmother carried people in regardless of her father's wishes.
and-
Fu Jiang was actually kind to her.
Over the years, no matter how pretentious or bad she was, she never treated her harshly. Even if she lied and deceived others and blamed Fu Jiang, she never said anything.
Gu Wuyou couldn't help but think, if the general was here, how would he handle such a situation? He definitely won't make the situation so embarrassing like her, but she really can't do it... Although the relationship between her and her stepmother in the past life has eased a lot, it is still awkward and embarrassing when she is alone.
I sighed softly in my heart.
She misses the general, and the more she encounters such a thing, the more she can't help thinking of him.
"Miss?" Bai Lu called her softly from the side.
Gu Wuyou came back to her senses, she thought for a while, she still pursed her lips, and said softly with Fu Jiang, "...Thank you." After speaking, she ignored the stunned people in the room and went straight with the two maids. Go outside.
"She is..."
Liu Shi looked at Gu Wuyou's figure, waited for the others to turn out the curtain, and said indifferently, "What's wrong?"
Fu Jiang was obviously more stunned than she was, half a sound, but the corner of her mouth couldn't help but lift up. She probably felt that she had no mistress' demeanor in front of a bunch of servants. Happy, she couldn't hold back no matter what.
Reluctantly told Liu Shi to go first, he couldn't help it when he was outside. He pulled Qingdai, his personal maid, and said excitedly, "Did you hear that just now?"
Qingdai smiled and said, "I heard that, Fifth Young Lady thank you."
Fu Jiang's face was full of joy, and her voice could not be restrained from being happy, "You remember to ask the kitchen to prepare more of what she likes to eat, she likes to eat sweet, especially the sweet and sour tenderloin, so the kitchen must not forget it."
Qingdai replied repeatedly, seemed to hesitate, and asked again, "Then you are going to take the ninth young master to have dinner with the grandfather and the fifth young lady today?" She would never ask such a thing before, everyone knows the fifth young lady I don't like their wives, and I don't even like the Ninth Young Master.
But today.
Gu Wuyou's attitude made Qingdai couldn't help but want to speak.
"You and Grandpa Guo haven't eaten together for almost a month." Not to mention anything else.
Fu Jiang shook her head, and her voice became weaker, "No, the father and daughter finally meet each other, and I was afraid that I would make them unhappy again." After finally seeing Gu Wuyou being polite to her, she could I don't want to break this hard-won relationship.
the other end.
Hong Shuang was also asking, "Why is Miss being so polite to her today?" She frowned, looking puzzled, and after speaking, she blinked and whispered, "Miss, is this your newcomer? How to torment people?"
Gu Wuyou glanced at her helplessly, "No."
"That-"
Hong Shuang wanted to say more, but Bai Lu interrupted her, she should be calmer and more rational, and then said: "Miss is right now, she is the mistress after all, in the future, if Miss will stay at Gu's house, she will inevitably be the same. When dealing with female relatives in Beijing, it’s not wrong to befriend her better.”
"Um."
Gu Wuyou nodded, believing Bai Lu's explanation.
Otherwise, she can't say, I'm actually in my thirties, and I'm no longer the child who used to roll around without candy. Although she still can't take Fu Jiang as her mother, she won't be like that anymore. Targeted her as before.
However, there is one more thing.
She fingered the sachet at her waist, and hesitated for a while before opening her mouth, "Hong Shuang, you will go and help me find out about Li Qigong of the Duke of Wei's residence." She wanted to see how the general responded. Why would the third brother say that to him
