Mrs. Sun didn't intend to keep the eldest daughter for a night. The eldest aunt guessed that she was ashamed, and she couldn't even eat dinner, so she left in a hurry because she had something to do at home.
Her daughter, Xiumei, was still a little unwilling, and she was still saying when she went out, "Mother, why are you leaving in such a hurry, my cousin hasn't come back yet, it's time to meet again."
The aunt got angry and scolded: "What do you see? If you don't look down on us, you can't look down on us, and you can't look down on him! Li Chengze is so far away, so he can look at people with his nostrils if he dares to point it out. In this way, I and I I don’t want to stick to this light, put my hot face on my cold ass, my mother will pick a good one for you, in such a big capital city, there are many rich and noble families, I just thought that the Li family was my mother’s family, so I chose it This idea of being more intimate than others, so that the fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders, is willing to give you as the second wife to Zeer, but now your grandmother seems to be unwilling, I just started, and I was pushed back when I showed the slightest meaning. Don't let it go.
Let's look at the bride surnamed Gu, she is not a good thing, she is very domineering, although she has money and things in her hands, she is not from the Li family after all, even if you marry here, you probably won't be able to get half of it. "
"Then forget it?" Xiumei bit her lip, still a little unwilling.
Ever since she met Li Chengze, her heart has been a little swaying. She never knew that her cousin had such a good-looking, handsome, tall and straight figure.
The eldest daughter of the aunt, Xiuli, looked at her younger sister with a frown, and couldn't help but say, "You are a daughter, how dare you say these words out of your mouth." Marriage is up to the parents for a few days. followed by blending.
Xiumei was annoyed when she heard this, she opened her mouth angrily and sarcastically: "I know my sister is dignified, so I made a kiss again, why bother stepping on my sister's feet!" She said that Xiuli made a kiss, but the tone of her words was not With a sneer, it was obvious that he looked down on that family.
Xiuli was also angry, so she just let her go, "I don't know good people!" If you want to be small, just do it.
The aunt yelled annoyedly: "What's the noise, you don't have to be ashamed on the street, get in the car."
Then he took his two daughters into the bullock cart.
The matter of the eldest aunt was just a short episode, and it was over, and no one cared about it.
On the contrary, Li Chengze had more money in his hands, so he did what he was still thinking about.
He bought a carriage and came back, and ordered Yuan Bao to do it in the afternoon.
Li Cheng is a busy person who goes out every day, Gu Qingci needs a car when he goes out, Li Cheng never sticks to Gu Qingci, as long as she says where he wants to go, he can agree.
There are not many times when the two of them use the car.
It is not as convenient to hire a car from outsiders as it is to have one at home.
When Gu Qingci was still a girl in the Hou Mansion, there was no need for a carriage, but now she has to rent a carriage when she goes out. When she first arrived at Li's house, she asked Nanny Zhang to open the box and take the money to buy a carriage. It took a long time for the nanny to persuade Gu Qingci to give up this idea.
It's not a question of money, it's that this approach easily dislikes the husband's family.
In the afternoon, both of them stayed in the study, while Li Cheng taught Gu Qingci how to practice calligraphy.
Yuan Bao came back and talked about it.
When Gu Qingci heard this, she bent her eyes and smiled: "Master asked Yuan Bao to buy a carriage, why would you think of this? I went to buy it before, but she persuaded me not to let me, which made me inconvenient for a long time. Going back and forth is troublesome.”
Li Cheng pinched her nose, "Delicate and energetic."
After finishing speaking, he took Gu Qingci to the front yard to have a look.
The horse is a young one-year-old mare with a gentle and docile temperament and is not afraid of people. The interior space of the carriage is not too big, the whole is simple but not crude, the ruts and shafts are all new, there are footstools beside it, blue curtains and curtains, the carriage can seat three or five people, the Li family has such a simple population. Just right.
When buying a carriage, the driver is naturally indispensable. The driver was bought from a private shop. He is a middle-aged man with kung fu experience and has driven carts for more than ten years.
It's just that the man broke his left foot last year, and now he is lame because he didn't heal properly. The original master got impatient, so he sold him and bought a new servant.
Some lameness does not affect driving, Yuan Bao asked carefully, and let him try again.
This man was in his forties, an honest man, and he drove steadily.
A little flaw, selling one's body for money is not very high, Yuan Bao thought that his master would teach him how to do things and talk, combined the two phases, and bought it after thinking it would be okay.
Sure enough, Li Chengze didn't care about the opponent's innocuous lameness.
After asking a few words, he stayed first.
Gu Qingci opened the blue curtain and looked at it, and said: "There is nothing inside, I will ask Yuzhu to find a blanket to cover it later, do you want to put a low coffee table?" The last sentence It was for Li Chengze.
Li Cheng said: "Let's put it if you want. I'm afraid only you and I will use the car on the left and right. It's okay for one or two people to sit and a small table. But don't put teapots, trays, cups and saucers and so on. Let it in, after all, this is not an earthquake-proof carriage, it’s better if the road in Beijing is flat, if you go out of the city, it will be a trouble, if you want some snacks, it’s no problem.”
"I know." Gu Qingci answered quickly.
The next day, she was going to the Liu Mansion for a literary conference. Gu Qingci got up early in the morning to dress up, wearing a bright red pomegranate dress with flowers sprinkled on it, wearing a Chaoyunjin incense bun, and tied two small golden magnolia flowers in her hair.
For breakfast, I had a bowl of warm soup and a small tray of shrimp dumplings.
Although it was cold, it didn't snow at all, and he wrapped himself in a cloak before going out.
This time, the carriage I was riding in was my own. It was not luxurious but comfortable. Because of Li Chengze's absence, two jade beads and jade bracelets sat in the car.
Gu Qingci was holding a hand-warming gold-plated copper stove the size of a palm in his hand, talking to the two girls: "When I went out just now, it seemed that my husband said that I was going to the eastern suburbs today, so I didn't have time to ask. Yuan Zhuangzi or something like that."
Yuzhu thought for a while, and said: "I remember that there is a place in the eastern suburbs where the third prince is located. There is a hot spring courtyard next to the third prince. A few days ago, I heard that the third prince is going to have a banquet there. Could it be today?"
"Impossible? Even if you are a banquet guest, why would you invite your husband?" It's not that Gu Qingci belittled and looked down on Li Chengze.
Fortunately, Gu Qingci just asked a casual question, didn't take it too seriously, and soon talked about other things with them.
Li's house is in the west of the city, and it's a little distance from Liu's house. Gu Qingci listened to all kinds of noises coming and going on the street, and said: "It's always lively during the year. In the past, we were not allowed to go out often. We have never experienced it, let alone been to the west of the city. Here."
Yu Chuan smiled and said, "There are indeed more people in the west of the city. It's good to be married, and there are no more strict rules than when you were a girl."
Yuzhu glared at Yuzhu, and said: "Although it's better, but where can you really relax? It's not like you haven't seen it before, and the person you want to marry is the best, just like the uncle to the grandmother. Caring and loving."
Married but not loved by her husband, which one can feel relieved, and only swallows the pain in private.
Like Yu Zhu Yu Chuan and other maids who came out of the inner house of the Gaomen Hou's mansion, their minds are more transparent. Although they are not very young, they don't know much about what they saw and heard when they were young.
While talking all the way, he arrived at the Liu Mansion.
Gu Qingci came early, she had a good relationship with Li Shuyue, it wasn't the first time she came to Liu's mansion, and she also knew the maid who came to pick her up.
He took her straight to Liu Shuyue's yard.
Gu Qingci went in through familiar ways, and when he saw someone, he raised his eyebrows and said softly: "Your family essay meeting is about to start, why are you still hiding here?"
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in an apricot yellow brocade dress turned her head when she heard the sound.
An oval face, a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows, red lips and pink cheeks, but a gentle appearance, people who don't know this girl usually misunderstand her character.
Liu Shuyue let out a burst of laughter, and said loudly: "My mother and my elder sister are both here, so why bother looking for me, and you don't know that I'm just making up for it." After finishing speaking, his eyes fell directly on Gu Qingci, and continued Said: "Come here, let me have a look, the Buddha seems to have grown taller?"
At the same time, he also greeted him, and grabbed Gu Qingci's hand.
Gu Qingci's face was full of coquettishness, and she said proudly: "I have naturally grown taller, and I don't even think about how long you haven't played with me."
Liu Shuyue giggled, the two of them joked for a while, and they would not mention Gu Qingci's sudden engagement and marriage at that time. Good next post.
Not to mention the past, Liu Shuyue finally breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Gu Qingci's side had settled down, and took this opportunity to invite people over to play.
The two chatted in the room for a while, and Mrs. Liu sent a maid to invite her. Only then did Liu Shuyue hold Gu Qingci's hand, and whispered in her ear, "Let's go, let's go to the garden, come over there." There are many girls, and it is quite lively, go and see if there is any gossip."
When she said this, Gu Qingci became a little excited.
