After dinner and wine, several people bid farewell to each other and left, and Li Cheng took the four people and their things back home.
In the room, Gu Qingci was thinking about things all afternoon. When Li Chengze came back and found out that he had brought four people back, he felt a little strange, so he couldn't help asking: "The man who bought the man came back?"
Li Cheng shook his head, raised his eyebrows, and said: "No, I have other uses for these people, and I will send them to the countryside another day, and let them do something."
Gu Qingci nodded and didn't ask further questions.
She didn't quite know what Li Chengze did every day, and she couldn't bear to inquire about it.
When I first got married, I probably only heard that he was a poor scholar with little fame and only passed the examination last year as a scholar.
I used to go to school in the academy, but after I got married, I knew that I didn't go there anymore.
At night, when the two were talking in the inner room, Yuzhu came in slowly, dragging a plate in her hand with a bowl of medicine in it.
Li Cheng paused after seeing it, then went to see Gu Qingci again, and asked her, "Why did the disease relapse?"
Gu Qingci took the medicine bowl over silently, and because it was too hot, he put it on the small bed painted with gold. Hearing the question, he shook his head for a while, and answered in a low voice, "No..."
Li Cheng frowned subconsciously: "Then why is that? It can't be that you are willing to drink more of this bitter soup?"
It is impossible to think about it.
Gu Qingci winked and asked the maid to back down, dawdled for a while, thinking about what Zhang Nanny said, and then told her about Mrs. Sun's appointment as a doctor with deep meaning.
Li Cheng heard the meaning immediately.
More than that, just looking at Gu Qingci's expression, she should have a purpose in telling the matter to herself so openly.
So Li Cheng laughed, and said slowly: "If it's really hurt as the doctor said, it's best to take medicine as soon as possible to recuperate. Grandma's place..." He paused, stroked his hands, and then said, "The other thing Don't worry, I'll talk to her myself."
Although Li Chengze said so, Gu Qingci was not happy at all, and felt a little ashamed.
At that time, she hated Li Chengze so much that she tried her best to injure her without letting him touch her.
But now it's already... If that's the case, it's okay.
I never thought about these things because I was awkward before, but I was reminded by Zhang Momo once, knowing that men will not always be plain, and husband and wife should also be intimate and harmonious.
Later, when Li Cheng treated her well, Gu Qingci gradually didn't reject her. Li Cheng kissed her before, and she was very happy in her heart.
But Li Cheng's current remarks were obviously meaningless.
Even if Gu Qingci has a heart, she is also stunned at the moment, let alone her daughter's family, it is not easy to take the initiative to say something.
Who is not dignified and dignified
Gu Qingci refused to lower her face any more.
Feeling angry, he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly.
Li Cheng first thought it was because she was impatient to drink bitter medicine soup for a month, so he didn't persuade her very much, so as not to backfire, he directly changed the topic.
However, in Gu Qingci's eyes, it was Li Cheng who didn't like him and didn't want to get close to him. He would deliberately ignore what he said and pretended not to know.
In an instant, she was very ashamed and angry, it turned out that she was saving face by saying these words on her own initiative. Unexpectedly, the extremely difficult thing has been done, but no one sees it.
In the past, Gu Qingci should have gotten angry and made a fuss long ago, but this time, for some reason, he endured it and kept everything in his heart.
She also knew that Li Chengze was smart, and ten million people didn't want him to find out that he was watching jokes in his heart.
Reluctantly stroking his forehead, he whispered that he was uncomfortable and wanted to rest.
Li Cheng came back from socializing for most of the day, and got a new melon seed. At this time, his energy was very good, so he couldn't sleep.
It was not too late for Li Chengze to knock on the Youshi clapper outside.
Gu Qingci tilted his head slightly, but Li Chengze didn't see her face clearly, and when he heard that she was sleepy, he whispered a few words to let her go to rest first, and then he turned around and went to the outer courtyard.
Let Yuan Bao lead the four new servants to wait in the outer study, tidy up a bit, change into clean clothes, and go to ask questions.
It is mainly related to the cultivation of watermelon seeds. Those few people know that water melons can also be cultivated, but they are honest at the moment, saying that the food is not very tasty, and few people like to eat it.
Li Cheng just told them not to worry about it, and didn't explain much, which would be too troublesome. Then they carefully asked some basic information about the origins of the four people.
He quickly wrote down the answers while answering him, making an information sheet for several people. It is also convenient to look up later.
While writing these, Li Cheng suddenly thought that it would be nice to have a book boy who could speak and write by his side, as well as Yuan Bao, but the disadvantage was that he couldn't read and couldn't do some things.
The next day, Li Cheng asked the coachman to hitch the car, took all four of them with him, and went to Hekou Village together.
There is no special Zhuangzi here in the Li family, so they can only bring people to the old house.
There was no need for these four people to go back to the city, so Li Cheng simply let them meet the husband and wife who guarded the house and get to know each other.
Then he took the four of them to the first field and told them to see if they could grow water melons. The four of them twisted the soil with their hands and nodded.
After returning to the house, Li Cheng told them to use one-sixth of the seeds to cultivate the seedlings first, and grow the melon seedlings first.
After the confession, he privately asked the tenant couple some things, and went back that day.
Perhaps his own memory or what he heard was hindered, so Li Cheng read a lot of agricultural books after that.
Every day, Shenlong sees the beginning but does not see the end, and the end is very busy.
A few days later, I finally managed to remember and calculated a set of methods for cultivating seedlings. I got a lot of things in the past, drew pictures and described them, and built two small sheds.
It wasn't until half a month later that I was free.
Since he hadn't seen Gu Qingci for several days, Li Cheng sighed in his heart, and he missed her a little.
Just when I was going back to the city, I passed by a restaurant that the little girl had mentioned before, and she said that a dish of roasted squab was delicious, so I stopped the car and asked Yuan Bao to go and buy a few, put them in a food box, and took them back together .
It's just that I didn't expect that when I got home, I didn't see anyone.
Li Chengze called Nanny Zhang to ask, but Nanny Zhang didn't dare to lie.
It was said that Gu's house had posted a post, and the second wife sent a carriage to pick up grandma.
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng asked again, "Did anyone say that they would not return today?"
Nanny Zhang hesitated for a moment, then answered slowly: "Grandma didn't say she would stay overnight, but it's unknown if the second wife will stay with grandma..."
Li Cheng smiled, "Okay, I know, I'm fine this afternoon, so I'll just go and pick her up."
Nanny Zhang couldn't help but agree, of course.
My son-in-law went to pick them up in person, since it would save face, others would praise them for their love as husband and wife.
Li Cheng said that he waved away the crowd, went to the inner room to change his clothes, and after tidying up, he went to Mingdehou's mansion.
—
Gu Fuli.
The second wife received a letter from Gu Qingci a few days ago and felt that her daughter was in a bad mood, so she wanted to ask her to come back.
The second wife told Gu Qingci that the second master valued a family privately and was about to tell Gu Qingwan.
"In those few days, Aunt Zhou's tail was going up to the sky. On the face of it, she came to greet me every day, but it was just showing off. She was so rampant."
As soon as Gu Qingci heard it, he was really lifted up all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked: "Which one is it?"
The second wife pursed her lips, twitched the corners of her mouth, and snorted, "Young Master Sun from the fourth room in Duankang Palace."
Gu Qingci took a deep breath and calmed down for a few seconds, feeling a little unsure.
After a long while, he said: "Isn't that the palace, why did you fall in love with Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan is worthy of her?"
Although Gu Qingci didn't know much about the male relatives, it was the palace of the royal family, and Tongtian's family had the same surname!
Compared to Gu Qingci, the second wife knew too much about these personnel and affairs. Most of the women in the inner houses of these high-ranking families in the capital knew each other.
So right now, he explained carefully to Gu Qingci: "Their family, Ding Xingwang, has five houses in total. It is a big family. Because the old prince is still alive, there is no separation, and now they all live in the palace. The fourth house is a descendant. But that young master Sun is the son of a concubine from the fourth house, but also, although he is a son of a concubine, the fourth house is now the only male heir, so he is also valued."
Gu Qingci was dumbfounded, and after a long time, she asked again: "Does mother think this family is good or not?"
For Gu Qingwan, a concubine, it is naturally already a good marriage.
The second wife can't go against her conscience and say something bad, think about it again, this marriage was chosen by the second master in private, I don't know how much thought was spent, I guess the young master's character will not be bad.
Gu Qingci naturally thought of it too, and felt depressed unconsciously.
The sour feeling of jealousy flashed by, I couldn't help it, and blurted out: "If my father was willing to plan for me like this, how could I marry a poor and settled down like this, and be overwhelmed by that concubine Gu Qingwan!"
The second wife was startled by her sudden and loud words, she immediately covered Gu Qingci's mouth after realizing it, and said with a dark face: "This can be confused!"
Immediately, sharp eyes swept over the surroundings, full of warnings, and the girls buried themselves low, as if they hadn't heard anything.
Gu Qingci's eyes were still red, and she turned her head all of a sudden.
She didn't mean it either, she actually regretted it the moment she said it.
It's just that thinking about Li Chengze's indifference to her recently made her feel uncomfortable, and hearing the news that Gu Qingwan would get married well, his mind was confused and he said those words recklessly.
It's just that he was still wronged, so the expression on his face was a little vicious.
The second wife warned the serving servants again and waved them away without serving, and came over to hold Gu Qingci's hand and ask her carefully.
Ask her if she had a fight with Li Chengze.
The quarrel was not a quarrel, so Gu Qingci could only shake her head, but she had a knot in her heart, so she was very irritable.
It was also Li Chengze who was very busy these days, so he ignored it and didn't find the problem.
Let the original little problem accumulate more and more.
Although the second master is selfishly optimistic about the family, the marriage of the children should only be settled by the mistress of the family.
That's why we can't hide this from the second wife. It's a good time for spring, so the second master asked her to hold a poetry reception. He only invites young ladies and gentlemen from acquaintances, and takes the opportunity to meet Young Master Sun and Gu Qingwan of the palace.
Although the second wife was impatient, she was the wife of the main house and couldn't postpone it, so she could only endure the nausea and complied.
"I was afraid that you would be bored at home, and I heard that my son-in-law has gone to the countryside for some business, so I simply sent someone to pick you up, so that I can have fun with those girls tomorrow." This is to keep her. One night.
Just as Gu Qingci was about to speak, she might as well open the curtain outside and come in to answer, and said crisply: "Ma'am, my uncle is here."
Both of them were taken aback for a moment, but the second wife came to her senses first and said straightly: "Please come in soon."
Gu Qingci frowned, and said with an angry voice, "Why is he here?"
