After dropping the jade ring, the room suddenly became quiet.
When it got colder, Gu Qingci realized that he shouldn't be doing this.
She is used to this, and the temper she has developed since she was a child is hard to change, and she will always lose her temper when something goes wrong.
She had just married into the Li family, and when she threw something for the first time, she was caught and educated by Li Chengze.
If you commit the crime again later, you will suffer a severe loss.
It was also from then on that he began to feel a little afraid of Li Chengze.
At this moment, Li Cheng was still doing nothing, and she felt a little bit in her heart.
In fact, Li Cheng didn't blame Gu Qingci, he just froze for a moment, it's true, he didn't really get back to his senses.
Now, looking down at Gu Qingci, seeing the aggrieved and nervous expression on his face, he couldn't help laughing.
He didn't bother about the jade jue, instead he remembered that he went to Gu's mansion to pick up Gu Qingci, but he saw that the girl's face was not right and her expression was listless and resentful. I didn't have time to ask more questions.
But now they are ready to turn over old accounts.
Seeing that Gu Qingci's head was almost buried in the ground, she still had to coax her first.
So he went over to hug her, deliberately smiled and said: "What's the matter, you want to look like this? It was you who dropped the thing and not I, why did you feel wronged first, huh?"
While speaking, he raised his hand and fiddled with Gu Qingci's chin a few times.
Gu Qingci was also clever, upon hearing Li Chengze's tone, it seemed that she hadn't blamed her and had no shame, she was relieved immediately, and then put her head straight into Li Chengze's arms.
After a long while, I whispered, "I couldn't be more angry. I did that by accident. My lord, please forgive me..."
Li Cheng laughed lightly: "I know, who will scold you first? Don't worry, your husband will definitely avenge you."
Now he doesn't talk about seeking justice in his words, and since he is shady, he doesn't have to use such open methods.
It's all about treating the person in the same way as the person.
Gu Qingci did not hear the difference.
—
Su Ziyan was still resentful that the matter fell short, hated that Gu Qingci and Li Chengze had not been thrown into the mud.
Gu Qingwan in Gu's mansion was also so angry that she tore a handkerchief.
Aunt Zhou's heart was pounding, this matter was almost discovered by someone, she knew that the wife had sent a woman to investigate.
As soon as Su Ziyan left the mansion, Aunt Zhou immediately called Gu Yan and told him that she was not allowed to bring Su Ziyan into the mansion for a while, and then whispered into Gu Qingwan's ear, "Young lady is embroidering in the house recently. Don't go out, your father is about to ask his wife to discuss marriage with you, it's not good to make your wife anxious."
Gu Qingwan didn't take it seriously, what was a wife, her father didn't take her seriously at all, and there were a few people in the house who believed her.
Knowing a child is like a mother, and Aunt Zhou knew what her daughter was thinking when she saw her expression.
I was so worried that my hair was about to fall out, but I still had to explain patiently: "Whether your father likes her, she is still a wife, and I am a concubine. I will not be able to intervene in your marriage in the future, even though your father favors her." We, but we are men after all, don't know the tricks, and if the wife uses any tricks inside, you won't be able to cry at that time."
When she said this, Gu Qingwan's heart froze for a moment, and she was afraid that there would be some mistakes or bad things related to herself, so she obediently responded.
They wanted to shrink back to avoid disaster after they did something disgusting, but Li Cheng was not so good-tempered.
It's not easy to move in Gu's mansion, but Su Ziyan lives outside.
Li Cheng stared at Su Ziyan for a while and found an opportunity.
It really didn't take much effort to investigate, Su Ziyan has a hobby.
He is so pretty, and he spends the night in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion for about ten days a month.
There are no secrets in the flower house, as long as you give money, you can get out the information of ordinary guests.
Unexpectedly, this Su Ziyan is really something to dig.
Of course, the purpose of going to the brothel was for that matter. According to the information obtained, Li Cheng knew that Su Ziyan had some special hobbies in that matter.
Li Cheng thought it would be better to use it if he made a mistake.
After figuring out the law of Su Ziyan's entry into Fireworks and Willow Lane, Li Cheng made a trick.
He bribed a girl in the flower building who had suffered from Su Ziyan's hand and was ill for half a month, and asked someone to drink cartilage medicine in Su Ziyan's tea, which was specially given to the young men in the Nanfeng Pavilion, and gave it to her when she fainted. , and then let people throw it to the Nanfeng Pavilion not far from the opposite side.
Sure enough, Su Ziyan was caught. He was a frequent visitor here, so he was not much on guard. He passed out after drinking tea, asked someone to put a sack on it, and threw it out of the window.
If he likes ruining people's innocence so much, let him taste it for himself.
Su Ziyan can also be regarded as a son-in-law, with thin skin and tender flesh.
In this way, a middle-aged man was asked to sleep for a whole night in the Nanfeng Pavilion.
After waking up the next day, his whole body was bruised and purple, and the unignorable feeling in the back made Su Ziyan tremble all over, the bloodshot eyes full of blood like a ghost, he almost fainted on the spot, so that he didn't spit out a mouthful of blood.
But because he couldn't make it public, he swallowed his breath, put on his clothes and sneaked away.
After returning to Su's house, it exploded, a series of earth-shattering actions.
After a few days, I regained my energy and tried to check again, but I couldn't find anything.
After Li Cheng received the follow-up news, he nodded. His face was still calm, and he only asked Yuan Bao: "Have you cleaned up your tail? Don't let anyone get caught."
Yuan Bao scratched his head and laughed, with a confident face: "Don't worry, young master, we don't know anything about this matter, it has nothing to do with us."
Li Cheng couldn't help laughing, boasting: "Smart." Then he gave the money again.
In order to complete this matter, it took more than half a month of work. Yuan Bao went back and forth by himself, and almost broke his leg. Fortunately, he was clever and capable.
Li Cheng knew exactly where no one was using his elbows.
I have been thinking about buying another one that I can use.
As soon as this matter was over, Li Cheng went to Hekou Village again when he had time to spare.
The matter of growing watermelon seedlings can't be ignored. Only after passing by did I realize that the four people are indeed experienced and able to do things. The melon seedlings are growing very well in the shed.
It was also a coincidence that just as he was looking for someone capable of doing things, a cousin over there came over and asked him to do something.
An out-married aunt who was originally surnamed Li in the family, went out to visit relatives with her husband last year, unexpectedly encountered a bandit on the way and robbed a wealthy businessman, and both of them were killed by the bandit's knife. In a few days, their house was taken by uncles and others, but even the couple had only one young son, who was less than ten years old, and his uncles were unconscionable rascals who took over the house. Family wealth, but refused to give the child a bite to eat, and often beat or scolded.
Uncle Tang sighed, and said: "The child was injured all over his body. Maybe he really had nowhere to go. One day he sneaked to Hekou Village, found his uncle, cried, and explained the whole story. After all, it was our Li The aunt who went out from home had no reason to make people behave like this. Later, I asked his uncle to lead a group of young people to ask for an explanation. Five taels of silver came out, and it was said that after this relative, the child will not enter their house from now on."
"What happened after that?" Li Cheng asked.
"The child can only be brought back to us. The child's uncle doesn't mind having an extra mouth at home, but there is a wicked woman in the family. Since the child entered the house, she has been scolding every day, making the chickens and dogs restless. His uncle can't stand it." Stopped, just found me and wanted me to ask for an idea.
I didn't intend to send it to you, but last time I found out that the child is rarely literate. I heard that he studied at home for two years. Only then did I change my mind, and saw that you bought a servant by your side last time, and I don't know if there is a lack of people around you. That child was a rare good-natured child, with a clear mind and a clear mind, and he was also very pitiful when he suffered a sudden disaster. "
The members of the Li family are actually good people, not to mention the small quarrels of each family, but they know that the general situation is not wrong, and they will not do things that harm the interests of the family.
This cousin is even more kind-hearted. He has a lot of seniority, so it is impossible for him to deceive Li Chengze for other people's affairs.
Li Cheng listened carefully, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "Maybe let me meet that child first?"
"Of course it should." Uncle Tang agreed straight away, with a smile on his face.
Knowing that there is no accident, it is almost inseparable.
At noon, Li Cheng had dinner at his cousin's house. After eating, he asked his son to bring the child home.
When Li Cheng saw him, he sized him up from head to toe, but thought in his heart that Zhou Zhengjun was so handsome.
Long and thin.
Li Cheng called people to him, and asked gently, "How old are you and what's your name?"
The child replied softly: "Eight years old, called Feng Rusi."
Li Chengze's heart moved, and he asked again: "Which two words are they?"
Feng Rushi took two steps forward, looked left and right, Li Cheng suddenly understood, stretched out his palm, and said, "Let me read it."
Feng Ru didn't seem to be afraid, her eyes were clear and clear.
One stroke at a time, two words were written in Li Chengze's palm.
"Rusi..." Li Cheng smiled, looked up at the child, and said, "Could it be from the poem 'The sand in the desert is like snow, and the moon in Yanshan is like a hook'? I can only think of this line at the moment."
Feng Ru seemed to change his expression at this moment. After a while, he pursed his lips and said: "My father once said that before I was born, one day, he was reading a poem, and his mouth It was these two sentences that were read in the book, my mother suddenly lifted the curtain and walked in, and told my father that she was pregnant, my father was overjoyed and deeply moved, so he chose the word Rusi to name me."
Li Cheng felt that the child was neither humble nor overbearing. At such a young age, he already looked a little cold.
It's really a pity to keep such a person as a servant, take it with you as a book boy, with such a life experience, and tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings, I am afraid that he is already sensible.
Help if you can.
Sighing again in his heart, Li Cheng said slowly: "But you are willing to stay by my side. If you don't say anything else first, you will not be humiliated, and you will have enough to eat."
Feng Ru seemed to have known about today's incident. Someone had told him earlier that Li's family, a scholar, lived in the capital, and his family was very kind. If he went with him, at least he would have a way to survive. You can't go wrong.
At this moment, Feng Rusi's face was also very calm, but after Li Chengze finished speaking, he stepped back a few steps, knelt down slowly, and kowtowed three times to Li Chengze, still childish His voice was firm: "Thank you uncle for your life." From his mother's point of view, calling Li Chengze uncle was right.
