Mrs. Bai has been the daughter-in-law of the Li family for decades, so she naturally knows her mother-in-law and Mrs. Sun's character very well, and she has already figured it out thoroughly.
To be honest, Mrs. Sun is not a black-hearted and unreasonable person, nor has she ever tortured her daughter-in-law.
Occasionally get angry and get angry, most of them just scold in person, and never use any dirty means to punish others.
Bai Shi only ate a few Pai Tou meals when he was young, but now it's nothing more.
But Mrs. Bai doesn't feel that other people are kind-hearted mother-in-laws, and she is not lucky to make things difficult for herself. She only feels that Mrs. Sun's methods are not cruel enough.
Does Mrs. Sun want to have a great-grandson? She must have thought about it a million times. If it hadn't been for what Bai Shi did at that time, Li and Li had ended up in a wrong with Gu Qingci, why Sun Shi didn't ask in front of Gu Qingci now.
Gu Qingci wasn't a good-tempered person, so Sun suppressed her cares and didn't express any dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Sun was deeply impressed by Zhou's mother's words at the beginning, and now she is still afraid of the Mingdehou Mansion.
Therefore, in the past few months, Li is not in a hurry to ask Gu Qingci if she is pregnant.
Now Gu Qingci is a painful thorn in Bai's eyes, and she will never feel at ease until it is removed.
Not to mention that Gu Qingci never respected her as a mother-in-law, under the same roof, the two of them only had a little bit of face to face.
But in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Bai thought a lot in her mind, and when she recovered, she couldn't help but look at the two prostitutes brought by Mrs. Wu, thinking quickly about something.
She will no longer be as stupid as before. The origin of the servants sent by others has not been covered tightly. If she wants to do something again, she will definitely be invisible.
Mrs. Wu brought the two concubine daughters here today just to let them show their familiar faces. After saying everything that should be said, she got into the bullock cart, said goodbye and left.
After the person left, Mrs. Bai looked around and then quietly returned.
No one noticed.
Li Baode and Li Chengze were still outside, Sun was at Tang Bo's house, Gu Qingci was in his own room and had no time to pay attention to Bai.
But why is Mrs. Wu so keen to get involved in the Li family's affairs
Just looking at it from the outside, Mrs. Wu's good or bad has nothing to do with Mrs. Wu, let alone her interests, so why would she come up with such ideas.
What's more, Gu Qingci is from Mingdehou's residence, so why is she rushing to make things difficult for others
The reason for this is mysterious, and it has to be discussed from a year ago.
Mrs. Wu has a direct daughter who is fifteen years old. Last year, for a while suddenly, this girl had strange dreams, and the dreams lasted for a month. Do you think it is strange or not.
What's even more strange is that Miss Wu's dreams are all about other people's affairs, things she never knew about.
In the dream, there was a man named Li Chengze. It was said that this man started in the market, and later an extremely powerful official invaded the government and the public.
For a month in a row, the girl from the Wu family was uneasy. She felt that the dream was real, just like what she experienced personally, and she couldn't help but tell her mother, Mrs. Wu, all about it.
There is no other reason, Miss Wu fell in love with the man in her dream, the man was stern and powerful, beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Mrs. Wu is much smarter than her daughter. At first she didn't believe it, but later Miss Wu recounted all the events that happened to the names of the characters that appeared in the dream. Mrs. Wu sent people to investigate one by one, and it turned out that it was true It's all right!
Some things still haven't happened.
My daughter was raised in the house since she was a child, and she hasn't been out much, and it is even less likely that she has seen a foreigner.
The end is that these stories cannot be fabricated out of thin air.
After thinking about these things, Mrs. Wu had more thoughts in her mind.
A man who started from the humble beginnings of the market, but was able to be extremely powerful and powerful, appeared in his daughter's dream...
It was hard for Mrs. Wu not to think too much, so soon, Mrs. Wu had a plan in mind.
—
After a busy and tiring day, the Li family members washed up and rested after dinner.
The next morning, I packed up my things and prepared to return to the city.
After arriving at home and resting for a day, Gu Qingci pulled Li Chengze and asked him to accompany her back to her natal home.
Li Cheng naturally had everything he needed to do, and he should have accompanied her back during the New Year.
Although the Second Wife will not be short of anything, but the proper etiquette cannot be neglected, the two of them prepared a carload of New Year's gifts, and led the two maids to Mingdehou's Mansion.
The first time was born and the second time was acquainted, Li Cheng was good-looking, imposing and handsome, and he had been to the door twice, and the girl in the second wife's courtyard knew him.
When I saw him, there was a clear smiling face, very respectful and dare not be contemptuous.
A few ignorant errand girls hid behind the fake stone and whispered, "Young master's appearance can compare with the young masters in the mansion. Just looking at his handsome appearance, the sixth girl will be married. No loss."
As soon as these words came out, the girls immediately covered their mouths and laughed, saying that the girl who spoke was shameless.
In fact, everyone knew it in their hearts, and they had more winks. No one could see what kind of attitude Six Miss had now.
When she was about to get married, she cried so much that she cried earth-shatteringly. Looking at the two times she came back, which one was not a smiling face.
The six girls are all married, and there is no trace of sadness or resentment on their faces, and they still have the delicate expressions they used to have when they were girls.
And it's a little bigger, its appearance has grown, and its color looks brighter.
The girls in Manfu, regardless of their temperament, just look at their appearance, the six girls can be ranked first or second, and it must be even more important when they are a few years older.
Li Cheng then went to see the second master and had a brief chat, but Gu Xuan came over and invited him to the study for a chat.
As soon as Gu Qingci came there, he went to the second wife's.
The second wife glanced at her daughter's delicate and lively appearance, and her eyebrows and eyes widened.
After the mother and daughter had some private conversations together, they talked about Gu's affairs.
The second wife said that a month ago the eldest lady gave the fourth girl a look at the family, and the two parties have already made an appointment in private, and the matchmaker has also come to the door, and the appointment will be held in February.
Gu Qingci thought for a while, it must be the time when Xianggong hurt his arm, she just didn't have time to worry about other things, probably her mother didn't let anyone tell her.
The fourth girl, Gu Qingjin, was two years older than Gu Qingci, she was already well-spoken, and the eldest wife had been preparing for it early in the morning, so Gu Qingci was surprised for a moment when she got engaged.
Now I am curious which one it is.
He also thought that the eldest lady was interested in the third young master of Zhao Guogong's mansion before, but it was because of Gu Qingwan's fault.
So I asked: "The Zhao family from before... is it going to be done?"
The second lady shook her head, "Your fourth elder sister is demure and gentle, intelligent, and good in everything, but the third son Zhao is not a decent person. With his bad record of meeting concubine daughters in private, how could your eldest aunt push her away?" If my daughter falls into the pit of fire, the Zhao family will no longer have any face, so the matter of disappearing is not to be abandoned early in the morning."
Of course Gu Qingci knew this, what she wanted to ask was Gu Qingwan.
"Mother, what I mean is that you can't make it with the fourth sister. The third son seems to be treating Gu Qingwan... so what, didn't you come to propose marriage to her?"
The second wife first stunned her daughter for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "My silly girl, what are you talking about, let's not say that Gu Qingwan's status as a second-bedroom concubine is unworthy for the Zhao family, but Mrs. Zhao is not a fool, let alone a fuel-efficient lamp. I'm afraid it's too late to hate Gu Qingwan. If someone ruined her son's good marriage, why would she come to our house to propose marriage? She agreed, where is the eldest wife? I can't pass the test, and I will definitely not agree. You don't know, now our family and the Zhao family have a face-to-face relationship, and it is very difficult to be an in-law."
Gu Qingci was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and then said for a while: "Mother said Gu Qingwan would be willing?"
The second wife snorted coldly: "She is ashamed of herself, and I am afraid that she will ruin our family's face. She has been locked in the yard for several months, but she dare not take it out to embarrass her. Aunt Zhou couldn't help it a few years ago. Your father kept listening to him, saying that her five girls are pitiful, and all of them are well-off, but her family is left unattended, as if your father was so distressed, he went to pick someone for her himself!"
The second wife became angrier as she talked, holding Gu Qingci's hand: "Poor my son Bai has the status of a concubine daughter, the master has never looked at it more, there is no distinction between concubine and concubine, but he praised the unworthy one to the sky! Don't you know that without that fate, the higher you hold it, the worse you will fall."
Fortunately, Gu Qingci's life is not bad now, and the second wife didn't force her when she saw it. A high school is not necessarily good, and her daughter's temperament will really suffer if she goes to a place where the water is so deep.
Sure enough, as the second wife said, on a good day in early February, the marriage of the fourth girl Gu Qingjin was settled, and the eldest lady had a smile on her face.
After setting a date, Gu Qingjin didn't go out much after that, and was detained by the eldest lady at home to embroider the dowry and maintain her temper.
In the spring, there are more and more flower fairs, poems, outings, and outing activities. It is the favorite time for those ladies and gentlemen.
The same is true for Gu Qingci, as soon as the weather gets better, she goes back and forth in the house to try on clothes these days, and it doesn't take too much trouble to change her clothes.
Li Cheng had no choice but to remind her several times, saying that early spring was still a few days away, the temperature would change a lot, and the weather could change at a glance, so she was not allowed to change into a thin shirt.
Gu Qingci promised well on the surface, and when Li Chengze went out, he changed into a fresh and fresh pink dress and went out.
Still so unlucky, the sun was still rising in the morning, and it was cloudy and windy less than a quarter of an hour after we went out.
Gu Qingci was not reconciled to going back, insisted on holding on, and went to see Liu Shuyue dressed beautifully.
The two of them had already made an appointment to go to the bookstore to buy books together.
When we met, Liu Shuyue was also wearing a beautiful and refreshing spring shirt.
The two went to buy Huangliang Yimeng's book together. Now this book is very popular in the capital, and it was sold out within a few days after it first came out. What they are buying now are all late batches.
After buying books, they went shopping in other shops, and the two of them didn't go home until evening.
Nanny Zhang scolded the two maids, and immediately made ginger soup for Gu Qingci to drink.
But when Li Chengze came back and had dinner together, Gu Qingci still felt hot.
Others hadn't noticed it yet, but Li Cheng felt that Gu Qingci's state was not right. The little girl's eyelids were drooping, she didn't look energetic.
Usually, Gu Qingci has a good appetite, and she always eats happily, and she likes several dishes on the table today, but Gu Qingci didn't even stretch out her chopsticks, and just poked at the rice grains in her bowl.
Li Cheng looked at it for a while, put down his chopsticks, and called her, "Guanguan?"
Gu Qingci immediately pushed the bowls and chopsticks away, looked up, and said weakly: "Sir, I'm not hungry, I can't eat anymore."
Only then did Li Cheng realize that her face seemed to be a little flushed.
Frowning, he stood up and reached out to touch the man's forehead.
The temperature is much hotter than normal body temperature.
Li Cheng's face sank, he sat down and touched her face again, and said softly, "You have a fever."
After finishing speaking, she raised her voice and said that the servant girl had called in, and calmly ordered: "Go and invite a doctor back, your grandma has a fever."
The expressions of the two changed, they didn't dare to delay, and hurried out to call for someone.
Li Cheng hugged Gu Qingci to the bed, Gu Qingci's expression was still listless.
"It was fine in the morning, why did I suddenly have a fever?"
After asking a few words, I found out the reason.
It turned out that this fastidious and beauty-loving girl insisted on going out in a spring shirt, and even played outside all day in the cold weather.
Li Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, he said: "Seeing that the spring is going to be cold these few days, why are you disobedient, and you know it's hard to be sick now?"
