Walking out of the courtyard, seeing no one around, Pei Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought I would fall into hell today, but I didn't expect to survive from desperation.
She looked at Gu Jiu.
Miss Gu hasn't grown up yet, but she can also see that she is a beautiful embryo.
Looking at Miss Gu's walking pace, her body is indeed a little weak, but she is not yet called a sick child.
Could it be that he was wronged at home.
Otherwise, if there are parents who love him, how can he have such a reputation as a sick child.
Sick man, those three simple words are really full of malice to a little girl.
When it comes time to talk about marriage, no one is willing to see each other when they hear that they are sick.
It's a long way from the courtyard.
Gu Jiu looked back at Pei Yun, "Miss Pei, where is your maid? Do you want me to send someone to look for it?"
During this journey, Gu Jiu didn't say much. Silently leading Pei Yun along the garden path.
Because the routes Gu Jiu chose were relatively remote. Along the way, Pei Yun didn't meet many people, which made Pei Yun feel at ease.
The news that she appeared in the General's Mansion, I don't want others to know.
Moreover, she could not guarantee that no one at today's banquet knew her.
In case one or two people who knew her saw her appear in the General's Mansion, if they shouted out, they would definitely bring trouble to my father. Maybe he will be reprimanded by the emperor.
Hearing Gu Jiu's question, Pei Yun looked at the other party, "Miss Gu, thank you today. My maid is not far ahead, I can go there by myself."
Gu Jiu smiled slightly, "Then I'll send it here, Miss Pei, take care."
Pei Yun nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Yan again. "Miss Gu, I have a few words, I don't know if I should say them or not."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips into a smile, walked a few steps away, and distanced herself from the maids.
Pei Yun followed behind Gu Jiu.
There is already a distance from the maids. With this distance, there is no need to worry that the conversation between the two will be heard by a few maids.
Gu Jiu turned around and said to Pei Yun, "Miss Pei has something to say, but it's okay to say it."
Pei Yun thought about it for a while, "Miss Gu, please forgive me for my shallow words. That maid of yours is too eye-catching. It may not be appropriate to keep it by your side.
Miss Gu, please forgive me if I said something wrong.
It's just that I can't bear Miss Gu to be deceived by servants, because I have seen many such examples before, so I couldn't help but remind her. "
Gu Jiu laughed, Pei Yun's temper was quite straightforward.
She said: "Thank you Miss Pei for your kind reminder. I know about Jiang Yan, a maid, who is outstanding in appearance, unwilling to be mediocre, and has ambitions in her heart."
Pei Yun was surprised, "Since this is the case, why does Miss Gu keep her by her side?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said simply: "I know she wants to climb up, and I'm willing to give her a chance. I want to see how high she can climb."
Pei Yun was thoughtful.
Gu Jiu was a little embarrassed, "Is my idea a little whimsical?"
Pei Yun shook her head, "No, I admire Ms. Gu very much. You are willing to give her a chance, which is amazing."
The vast majority of people are not able to do what Gu Jiu is like, and are willing to give a maid who is unwilling to be mediocre a chance to climb up.
In people's hearts, a maid who is unwilling to be mediocre is tantamount to being restless, betraying her master, and will be sold.
After hesitating for a moment, Pei Yun lowered her voice and said to Gu Jiu: "In the middle of next month, Marquis Lu will send a group of beauties to Beijing to present to His Majesty. If Miss Gu wants to send your maid, you can go to this place Find the shopkeeper. Just say I introduced you."
Gu Jiu was very surprised. She didn't expect that Pei Yun not only understood her thoughts, but even created an opportunity for her.
"Miss Pei, you..."
Pei Yun laughed, "Miss Gu thought of me in every way, and deliberately walked a remote path so that no one would find me. I am grateful in my heart. I think Miss Gu has already guessed my true identity, and I am not a reckless person." A relative of Hou's family, I am actually Luhou's daughter."
Gu Jiu blinked, what expression should she have, to express shock, or to admit that she had already guessed the identity of the other party.
Seeing Gu Jiu's stupid look, Pei Yun immediately laughed, full of kindness. "Miss Gu, you are so pretty."
Gu Jiu was a little embarrassed, "Miss Pei is also pretty."
"I recognize you as my younger sister, okay?" Pei Yun asked with a smile.
Gu Jiu frowned, and shouted with a smile, "Sister Pei."
"Sister Gu." Pei Yun had a bright personality, and said bluntly: "Sister Gu, your maid, either send her out early, or send her to the capital and let her win a fortune by herself."
"Thank you sister Pei for reminding me, I will consider it carefully."
Pei Yun waved her hand, "Sister Gu, goodbye!"
"goodbye!"
Pei Yun walked very fast, and when she turned a corner, she disappeared.
Gu Jiu withdrew her gaze and said to the maidservants: "Just pretend you don't know anything about today's incident, and you haven't met Miss Pei, remember?"
"remember."
Qing Zhu, Xiao Cui, and Jiang Yan are not idiots. Although he didn't see Pei Yunzhong drugged, he guessed something.
This matter is very likely to involve Mrs. Xie, and the three servant girls all know the power of it, so naturally they dare not speak nonsense.
Qingmei came to Gu Jiu's side, "Girl, there is nothing wrong with Madam."
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Pay more attention to Nanny Ping beside Madam."
"The servant knows."
Nanny Ping is in the mansion on weekdays, not showing the mountains or showing the water.
This time, Mrs. Xie sent Nanny Ping out. It seems that Nanny Ping is very important to Mrs. Xie.
Gu Jiu didn't continue shopping.
She took the maids back to the banquet.
Girls from various prefectures gathered together in twos and threes.
Everyone was well-dressed, talking and laughing, and with the flowers in the garden, it was a beautiful scene of peace and joy.
There are fruit snacks and tea on the table.
Gu Jiu sat down and casually tasted a snack.
Well, the red bean cake is very good, sweet but not greasy, crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside.
Gu Jiu picked up another grape.
Peeled the grape and put the whole grape in his mouth.
Ah, so delicious.
The sweet grapes filled Gu Jiu's face with satisfaction.
"Girl, drink tea."
Qingmei brings a cup of tea.
Gu Jiu took a sip and moistened her lips.
For the banquet held by Mrs. Fu Yin, I have to say that the food and drink were well prepared.
Gu Jiu picked up a bunch of grapes and prepared to eat them slowly.
suddenly,
"what… "
Whoever was yelling behind him nearly burst his ears.
Qingmei was holding the teacup, excited by the cry, her hands trembled, and the tea almost spilled out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the cry.
Huh
It turned out to be the big sister Gu Zhen.
No wonder the cry sounded familiar to her.
Gu Jiu was very curious, why the big sister Gu Zhen screamed, and it was still in such an occasion.
"Ah... ah... worms, I have worms..."
Gu Zhen jumped up from her seat, her movements were too great, and all the teacups and teapots fell to the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere, most of which landed on Gu Zhen's own skirt.
"Big girl, the bug is caught, look."
A maid wearing the uniform of the governor's mansion was holding a green, fat caterpillar in her hand, shaking it in front of Gu Zhen's eyes.
"Ah... take it away, quickly take it away..." Gu Zhen was so frightened that she no longer cared about her image, she just wanted to get rid of the fear of being dominated by caterpillars.
"Big girl, watch your step."
The servant girl's voice fell.
Snapped!
Gu Zhen's feet slipped and she fell on all fours.
Pooh!
Many people covered their mouths and secretly laughed.
Gu Zhen was at a loss at first, and then came back to her senses.
Her gaze swept over everyone's face one by one.
It seemed like everyone was laughing at her and talking about her. And she, just a clown, makes people laugh.
"Wow… "
Gu Zhen couldn't bear the stimulation, covered her mouth and burst into tears.
The maid who caught the caterpillar before retreated back into the crowd without a sound, and stood behind the fifth girl, Gu Lin, with lowered eyebrows.
Gu Lin stared at Gu Zhen, tried her best to hold back a smile, but couldn't hide the gloating in her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Gu Jiu gasped and couldn't help but think deeply.
I really didn't expect that it would be the maid next to the fifth sister, helping the eldest sister catch the caterpillar.
Where did big sister Gu Zhen's maid go
Didn't anyone notice the caterpillar crawling on the big sister in the first place
"Girl? What's wrong with you, girl?"
Gu Zhen's maid finally appeared, her skirt was wet, it looked like it had just been washed.
Gu Jiu asked Qingmei in a low voice, "The maid behind Fifth Miss looks at her face. Do you know her?"
"what?"
Qingmei suddenly remembered, "Girl Hui, this servant has remembered, the maid behind Fifth Miss is named Cui Liu, and she is Aunt Bai's personal maid. This servant doesn't know why Cui Liu is serving beside Fifth Miss."
It turned out to be Aunt Bai's personal maid, Gu Jiu suddenly realized.
In this way, everything makes sense.
