Gu Qingci was indeed crying. Firstly, it hurt to break a bone, and secondly, she was angry. She hated the third young master of the Zhao family to death.
He suffered an innocent disaster for no reason, how can he be calm.
In fact, when the two had a private tryst, Gu Qingci and the Zhao family's niece just happened to pass by, and they didn't think too much about it at the time, only thinking that the person in front of them looked familiar, so they came closer to have a look.
It's just that the third young master Zhao panicked first, and hit Gu Qingci's horse with a sudden shot.
Just think about it and get angry.
"Mom, my leg hurts, so I won't be crippled?" Gu Qingci asked with a sob.
"Stupid children, don't talk nonsense. Yesterday, the eldest lady took Master Hou's post and asked the imperial doctor to come over and look at it. She said that if you take care of it carefully, you will be fine. If the bone is straightened and the medicine is applied, it will be fine soon. Don't be afraid." The second wife Sitting on the head of the bed is gentle and comforting.
But I thought in my heart, this year my daughter seems to have violated the Tai Sui, and everything is unfavorable. This is the first time I have suffered a crime. I must go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva some other day, and ask my daughter for an amulet to come back.
At Gu Qingwan's place, although the incident didn't break out, the old lady got angry and asked the nanny to pass the message, asking her to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days to think about her mistakes.
At Zhao Guogong's mansion, it is even more impossible to pretend that nothing happened.
Mrs. Zhao was very angry all the way, and the nanny calmed down behind her. As soon as she got home, she pulled Third Young Master Zhao to her and gave him a lecture.
She was there to show her son the concubine daughter of Mingdehou's mansion, but luckily she hooked up with the concubine of the second room of Mingdehou's mansion.
"Shameless thing, I think your brain is kicked by a donkey!"
Third Young Master Zhao's face was flushed red, it was very ugly, but he knew he was right and didn't talk back.
"You panicked Miss Gu Liu's horse, and let a girl break her leg. It would be a mistake to say that it is a mistake. I am afraid that if you want to tell someone to talk about it for a while, you have to go to Gu's mansion with your mother to make amends first." Well, at least put on a pose."
The next day, Mrs. Zhao prepared a carload of heavy gifts, and took her son to Mingdehou's mansion quickly.
Originally Mrs. Zhao fell in love with Gu Qingjin, but now that this happened, the Zhao family was at a loss, and this marriage may no longer be mentioned.
This time when I met the eldest lady, my attitude has changed a little bit, it is not as close and warm as before, but it is really a Madam Hou's style, with a smile on her face, but her tone is a bit calm.
The third young master of the Zhao family is also a scholar, but he disregarded etiquette, provoked the girl from the Dehou Mansion, and hurt the aunt who went back to her mother's house for a short time.
In this way, if Da Furen returns Madam Zhao with a smile and affection, it will really lose the face of the house.
A lukewarm attitude appears precious on the contrary, which one dare not underestimate.
The eldest lady sipped a cup of tea, lowered her eyes, and said slowly: "Although it was an unintentional mistake, Mr. Zhao has gone too far, why did he take off the jade pendant that was close to him to beat the horse, poor Miss six of my family raised her up since she was a child. She was dragged by a horse and ran for a few miles. She fell off the back road. After I came here, I cried all night in pain and had nightmares, and her mother also cried for a while, and I felt distressed when I looked at it."
What Mrs. Zhao could say was to express her apologies.
After a while, the eldest lady continued: "Ma'am, I know I'm sorry, but after all Qingci is my niece, I'm afraid the second brother and sister will feel uncomfortable. I don't dare to go beyond her and promise something."
"It should be." Mrs. Zhao frowned with a wry smile, and said, "My unfilial son caused the disaster, even if he was beaten and killed, he should bear it. The second wife is a mother. I don't have the face to plead for that wicked son, but I should just go and accompany the second lady."
This was true, so the eldest lady led Mrs. Zhao to the second wife's yard.
As for the third son Zhao, Mrs. Zhao ordered him to plead guilty to Mr. Gu Er.
The second wife was hugging Gu Qingci in her arms and felt distressed when she saw the eldest lady and Mrs. Zhao coming over.
Whoever's daughter was hurt would not be happy to see the culprit.
The second wife pulled the corners of her mouth but couldn't put on a good look.
He made people sit down dryly and ordered the maid to make tea.
Since Mrs. Zhao came to make amends, she was prepared to show her face.
She was well-bred, and she held the second wife's hand and said a lot of apologies.
I had expected some blood today, so I had prepared a big gift, not counting the medicines and supplements in the carriage outside, and I had prepared two Zhuangzi, one shop and three thousand taels of silver notes, saying it was all to scare the sixth girl use.
There's no way, her son hurt someone's female family members, causing her leg bones to be broken. It was still outside, how many eyes were used to see, and how many ears were heard, if he didn't personally bring a gift to the door to make amends, it would be shameful, and even more so, he would have an enmity with the Gu family.
After talking to the second wife, Mrs. Zhao followed into the inner room to look after Gu Qingci.
As soon as she saw someone, she sat by the bed and held Gu Qingci's hand. The good girl cried out kindly, saying that I didn't teach my son well, which caused you to suffer.
His eyes were even red, and he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Gu Qingci's spirit was not very good, she answered listlessly a few times, then went to see the second wife, and called mother weakly like a kitten.
And the second wife was very distressed.
Just at this time, a little girl outside came in to answer, and Zhou's mother saw it and went out to ask what was the matter.
The servant girl said, "The sixth uncle is here."
When Zhou's mother heard it, she didn't dare to delay, she stepped into the room lightly, and replied in a warm voice: "Second wife, sixth uncle is here."
The second wife raised her eyes and stood up, "Hurry up, please come in."
Mrs. Zhao was a little embarrassed. She only knew that the married girl from the Gu family would go back to her mother's house to live for a while, but she didn't expect to meet her husband.
Not long after, Li Chengze came over.
He was tall and tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. His figure was a little thin, his legs were slender, and his appearance was even more handsome.
At this time, there was no smile on his face, and his brows were deep, but he was not angry.
The indescribable feeling only makes it difficult for people to see the depth.
The demeanor around him was a bit stern.
It was the first time for Mrs. Zhao to see this uncle of the Gu family, and she was very surprised when she met him.
He looked like an outstanding person.
Previously, I only heard that Miss Gu Liu committed herself to the family of the low-priced poor. That man is also a deep and sinister villain.
Comparing the man in front of me now, I feel that the rumor is not very true.
Li Cheng first greeted the eldest wife and the second wife in a gentle voice. Although he didn't know Mrs. Zhao, he knew that she might be a guest when he saw the clothes and clothes, so he greeted him casually.
Without asking any further words, his eyes fell on the bed.
Gu Qingci hadn't seen Li Chengze for many days, and she didn't feel that much before, but now that he suddenly appeared, the girl suddenly felt aggrieved.
Sniffing, he called out pitifully, "Sister."
The eldest lady smiled when she saw this, and exchanged glances with the second wife. Mrs. Zhao also had an understanding expression on her face, and they called the maids out together.
Li Cheng sighed helplessly, strode over, looked at her leg first, and saw that there was indeed a splint on her left leg.
Ask: "Does it still hurt?"
Gu Qingci lay uncomfortable and stretched out his hand for Li Chengze to hug her up.
Li Cheng touched her face: "Don't move around."
But he still picked her up a little bit, Gu Qingci hugged her around the waist domineeringly, asking him to bury her head in his arms as if coaxing her.
After a while, I couldn't help but start telling Li Chengze how she got hurt.
Afraid Mrs. Zhao outside would hear it, she could only reach out and pinch Li Chengze's left ear, then leaned closer and put her mouth next to her, with a low voice, swearing from time to time, calling Third Young Master Zhao shameless and vicious.
Li Cheng squinted his eyes, and wrote down Mr. Zhao San, "Okay, don't learn those stupid words in the future." While pressing the man to lie down, he said, "Come back with me today, your leg It’s going to take some time, I’m afraid people will talk about right and wrong if I’m always here.”
Gu Qingci knew it was good or bad, and Kuang had lived in Gu's residence for so many days, so he nodded obediently.
After dinner at noon, the second wife ordered the servant girl to pack up the things, and reluctantly sent the two of them away.
The things Mrs. Zhao sent were also sent in a carriage.
—
It takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, and even if the bone is broken, there is no bleeding or wound, but the most important thing is to take care of it carefully.
After the first few days, the pain went away, but I still couldn't run or jump around.
Nanny Zhang suddenly became strict, she was tight to Gu Qingci, and she refused to let her get out of bed, she was either lying on the soft couch or lying on the kang bed outside during the day.
Gu Qingci was bored, so he recruited the two sisters, Li Zhi and Li Chan, and continued to teach them how to read and write.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed by in a hurry.
In the twelfth lunar month, there are only twenty days to the New Year.
The splint on Gu Qingci's leg had been removed a long time ago, and she was living in the house, while Li Cheng was busy.
This is especially the case in the past few days, he leaves early and returns late every day, he gets up before Gu Qingci wakes up, and only returns after Gu Qingci falls asleep.
That's why Miss Gu Liu was visibly sulking, and she kept a serious face for the past few days, and she stopped being arrogant or laughing.
Yu Chuan made some small mistakes, Gu Qingci burst into flames, scolded Renhao, and took all her anger on him.
The servants in the room were so frightened for days that they moved lightly and dared not make a sound.
The reason why Gu Qingci was so angry was not only Li Chengze's negligence and indifference towards her.
Rather, her birthday is approaching, but the other party obviously didn't take it to heart, as if she didn't remember it.
Last time I obviously asked, and said that I would help her get a small character.
I have expectations in my heart, but when my expectations fail, I will naturally feel uncomfortable.
Gu Qingci's guess was correct, but Li Cheng was too busy to forget.
The weekly newspaper has just started, and the momentum is just right. He and shopkeeper Fang are so busy every day that they can't be idle for a moment.
The words that coaxed Gu Qingci casually before had long been forgotten.
Nanny Zhang saw the signs and wanted to talk about it, but the problem was that Li Cheng didn't spend much time at home in the past two days, and she couldn't do anything because she was anxious.
Soon came the day of Gu Qingci's birthday, but the west courtyard was not happy at all.
Because the uncle didn't come back last night.
Nanny Zhang could only put on a smiling face, coaxing Gu Qingci to make fun of her, and Yuzhu Yuchuan also said nice things.
Longevity noodles were prepared in the kitchen and delivered, Mammy Zhang carried them herself, smiled and said a bunch of auspicious words to congratulate the birthday, then put the bowls and chopsticks in front of Gu Qingci, and said: "Grandma, eat some quickly, but eat as much as possible." It's good to eat."
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingci stared at the longevity noodles, and suddenly picked it up, with a bang, the bowl and chopsticks were overturned and fell to the ground.
"grandmother!"
"Grandma can't make it!"
Several people around him were taken aback, and they tried to persuade each other.
Gu Qingci covered her face with her hands for some reason, started crying, turned around and ran back to the room.
Don't want to see anyone again.
…
Li Cheng finished talking about a new cooperation with Shopkeeper Fang. As soon as he came out of Fanlou, Yuan ran over when he saw Bao, with something wrong on his face.
With a move in my heart, I asked, "What's the matter?"
Yuan Bao said: "Miss Xiao Man, who is in front of Young Mistress, just came over and told me some things, let me tell Master quickly."
Li Cheng said as he walked, "Say."
Yuan Bao hurriedly followed and said the matter quickly.
Li Chengze paused, knocked himself on the head, and whispered to himself, "I actually forgot... Gu Qingci was so angry."
After that, he turned and walked in the other direction.
Yuan Bao hurriedly said, "Master, where are you going? That's not the way home."
Li Cheng stepped faster and faster, and a helpless voice reached Yuan Bao's ears.
"Go buy something and make your young mistress happy."
When Li Cheng arrived home, the yard was extremely quiet.
When Zhang Momo and the others saw Li Chengze, their eyes lit up, as if they had found the backbone.
Li Cheng interrupted their salute and entered the room on his own.
Gu Qingci lay on the bed, pillowing her arms.
Li Cheng didn't walk lightly, but she didn't look back.
Li Chengye approached, bent down and stretched out his hands, and hugged him up.
Then, I saw a pair of wide-eyed rabbit eyes.
I wanted to laugh for a while, but at least I held it back. Li Cheng gave a low cough, rubbed Gu Qingci's head with his hand, and whispered in her ear: "It's all my fault. I didn't come back earlier to celebrate your birthday with you. The girl spared your husband, how about this time?"
When Gu Qingci heard this, he didn't know whether to be angry or annoyed, so he stretched out his hand to push the person, "I don't want it, you go, you go!"
Anyone who really believes this is a fool.
Li Cheng was naturally not stupid.
Don't worry about most women, when they get angry and lose their temper, they probably have some duplicity.
This is what a female friend of Li Chengze told him before.
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, pinched Gu Qingci's cheeks, and said, "little girl, if I really leave, I'm afraid you will cry again. Okay, be good, come and see what good things I bought for you …”
As long as a man is patient and willing to coax someone, many girls may be overwhelmed, let alone the one in front of him is still a little girl.
With a few words, my heart almost disappeared, but I didn't admit it on the face, pretending to be fierce with a puffed face.
When Li Cheng took Gu Qingci's hand and led her to the desk, he asked her to grind the ink, and then dipped the pen to write two large characters on the paper.
"Guanguan?" Gu Qingci read aloud.
Li Cheng had a smile on his brows, he was very handsome, he said: "It's the name for you, how about it?"
