After Li Chengze brought Gu Qingci to the study and closed the door, the two jade girls were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Walk up and down the porch.
I kept thinking in my heart, thinking that although the uncle has always been accommodating to grandma and is especially tolerant to grandma, but this time grandma is the first to pick things up for no reason, and is bossing him around in front of everyone, without saving any face. A sign of anger.
But they dared not break into the master's house, so as not to implicate grandma in the end.
It's better that Nanny Zhang is older and understands things better, but what kind of temperament is Li Cheng
So Nanny Zhang pulled the two maidservants aside and taught her a few words in a low voice, "Why are you panicking? You must know how much the uncle loves grandma. It's just a few words of preaching. But you two, I just listened outside. One ear, why didn't your brain light up at that time, the uncle told you two to go out, you are fine, stick straight like a log, what I know is that you are loyal to our grandma, but don't look at the fact that grandma is now Li The family is gone, the uncle is the head of the family, you can't even listen to a word, isn't it making people feel unhappy?"
Nanny Zhang knew the two of them, she was loyal so there was no need to doubt her, she served by Gu Qingci's side since she was a child, Yuzhu was stable and Yuchuan was smart, they were both good girls, who would have thought that she would be a fool today.
Yuzhu smiled wryly: "Blame me, because I was anxious to see the two masters quarreling. I lost my head for a while."
Yu Chuan also hastily admitted his mistake: "It's my fault, the girl has a bad temper, and recklessly contradicted the uncle, how dare I leave."
Zhang Momo didn't really blame them, she sighed, "I know you are all for grandma's good, but uncle must be unhappy in his heart." She changed the subject again, and said: "Fortunately, uncle is not that A narrow-minded person will definitely not care about you two little girls, you should be smarter later, and admit your mistake."
The two nodded.
Nanny Zhang was right, the husband and wife were fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.
Isn't it after a while, when the two came out of the wing room, Gu Qingci had lost his temper.
It was a bit awkward on the face, but the girls pretended not to see it.
Zhang Momo was more worried about the girl who had just been sent here, how could she fail to see that she was sent here to serve Li Chengze.
It's just that my daughter can't tell the difference between the serious and the serious, so she made a fuss about the trivial matters first, so I don't know what my uncle is thinking.
Unexpectedly, after the two reconciled, it seemed that they didn't think of the maid at all.
Gu Qingci is not as insolent as before, like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law, she is about to take a look at Li Chengze in a blink of an eye.
Li Cheng still looked ordinary, but it made people look more imposing, and he didn't dare to make mistakes.
It was already late now, and taking advantage of Li Chengze's time to wash up, Nanny Zhang walked into the room lightly and whispered to Gu Qingci, "It's hard to coax the uncle back now, grandma, please don't mention that delivery About the servant girl who came here." She said this because she knew her young lady's temperament very well.
Gu Qingci played with the red jade hairpin that he took off from his head, and said indifferently: "But I just said it."
Zhang Momo's heart skipped a beat, and she asked anxiously, "What did the uncle say? Are you angry with grandma?"
Gu Qingci casually put the jade hairpin on the dressing table, and snorted from the tip of his nose, "Of course he is angry, how can he not be angry, he was so big, he reprimanded me." The meaning of those words was to say I am not smart and brainless.
"Oh, my grandma, why did it become like this? Is it true that you want that girl to come and serve you in the house?"
Gu Qingci knew that Nanny Zhang had misunderstood, and immediately sneered and said, "Where did Mammy say that? How could a vulgar maid come to my room? It's just right to be a fire girl in the kitchen."
Seeing Nanny Zhang stunned, she said what Li Chengze said in front of Nanny Zhang in a good mood.
Nanny Zhang didn't speak for a while, but when she came back to her senses, she was a little complicated and a little bit emotional.
He sighed and said that the uncle is really a gentleman, a decent person who has restrained himself and returned to etiquette. Although he was born in a small family, he is full of the integrity and character of a scholar.
He is devoted to his first wife, never messes around, and never messes with flowers.
Yes, it should be such a character who can be loved by those women.
Nanny Zhang wiped the corners of her eyes, Miss Six is lucky, others thought she was not well married, but in fact she got a good husband.
Unlike the second master of Gu's mansion, he was born with a good-looking talent when he was young, but who knows that he knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart, but he is a lustful person on the inside, sleeping in willows every day, and seduces women outside.
For someone as good as the second wife to marry into the Gu family, she jumped into a pit of fire, causing the second master to be trapped for a lifetime.
Fortunately, the girl is a lucky one.
She just doesn't know how to deal with a maid, just because the maid was sent by the old lady, and it was also given to Li Chengze.
Gu Qingci dismissed it casually and sold it, so that's fine.
This kind of method is most common among the big households in the deep house. Most of the daughters-in-law who don't admit it with gritted teeth, let people openly send them to the man's house, and give them the status of a housekeeper. If they have a body later, they will even be promoted. concubine room.
This kind of thing has always been considered nothing in the eyes of men. Of course, they will not object. If there are multiple people serving, they are enjoying themselves.
Li Chengze didn't have the idea of sleeping with a maid at all, so he would naturally take care of this matter by himself.
Nanny Zhang was refreshed and not worried at all.
After all, she was sent over from the East Courtyard, and she was not really asked to light the fire. The next day, she was only arranged to clean the yard. Anyway, there were two maids watching over the yard, so nothing happened.
Li Cheng was going out in the morning, and Gu Qingci seemed to follow him all the time.
Li Cheng laughed, "What are you following me for?"
"Where is Xianggong going? Can't I go?" Gu Qingci took his hand and acted like a baby.
Yesterday when she went to the temple, the two quarreled again, and they didn't say a few words, and they just made up, Gu Qingci can't be clingy.
And Li Cheng will go back to the academy tomorrow afternoon.
Li Cheng took a look at her, pondered for a few seconds, and said with a helpless smile, "You can go as you like." It's not an important matter.
Gu Qingci was happy, and followed Li Chengze out.
But Li Cheng seemed to remember it, and asked, "You don't need to practice Cuju today?"
"How can I practice every day without exhausting people to death, and I only competed in the first two days." Besides, my husband has only been here for a few days, so she doesn't want to go, just tell Wu Yao.
After the two got into the carriage, Gu Qingci asked where they were going.
"Is it a bit late to ask now? If I were to sell you, you would be ineffective right now." Li Cheng raised his eyebrows and said.
Gu Qingci hid her arrogant smile, "You don't have the ability, and I'm not afraid of lawsuits if you sell it."
Li Cheng knocked her on the head and smiled.
Then he said: "I'm going to meet some friends, it's okay for you to follow."
After arriving at the place, I realized that this place is a quiet tea garden.
After entering, one of them is called Xiaozhuxuanchuang, which has three floors, and the environment is extremely quiet and elegant.
At first glance, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Places like tea gardens and teahouses are places where men come and go. Gu Qingci is a rich lady, so she has never been there.
Not only have I never been here, I haven't even heard much about it from others. The girl's family can't inquire about these things, otherwise it will be a joke.
It's a big neat yard with a nice view, rockery and strange rocks, pavilions and waterside pavilions.
The Xiaozhuxuan window is the innermost one.
And there are several other buildings in this courtyard, each with its own name.
The people Li Cheng wants to meet are the people he knew in Fengtai Academy, and they are all people who can make friends.
On the third floor of Xiaozhuxuan window, two men had already arrived, sitting cross-legged and playing chess, drinking a sip of fragrant tea from time to time.
There was a noise outside the door, and after a while, a figure appeared around the four gentlemen's four big screens.
One of the two said loudly: "Cheng is a bit late."
The man who spoke had sword eyebrows and star eyes, and was very handsome. He was two or three years older than Li Cheng, so he was called by his name directly.
Li Cheng apologized with a smile, met with those two people, and did not see Gu Qingci coming, he was not annoyed, he just said to the two people: "Today I brought my wife with me, you two brothers can see each other."
Instead, he brought Gu Qingci over from the screen, and introduced: "This is my wife." Then he smiled and said to Gu Qingci, "This is Brother Zhang, and that is Brother Qin."
Gu Qingci was not shy, she met the ceremony generously and looked at the two of them a little.
The two were only surprised by you for a moment, and then returned to normal, saying with a smile, "Siblings are polite."
Afterwards, the young master surnamed Qin summoned the servant girl, brought tea and snacks again, and then gave some instructions.
After a while, a graceful and graceful woman came in, with a gentle face, she looked like a relative.
As soon as she came to pay respects to Gu Qingci, Gu Qingci knew that this woman was Mrs. Qin's wife, named Jiang Rou.
Jiang Rou treats people gently and speaks nicely, making people feel very comfortable.
After getting acquainted with each other, Jiang Rou will take Gu Qingci to Weirui Garden for a stroll.
The Weirui Garden is just behind the window of Xiaozhuxuan, only separated from this courtyard by a wall, and it can be reached quickly from the moon gate on the side.
Mr. Qin and Jiang Rou lived in Weirui Garden.
Gu Qingci said with a smile: "It turns out that this property belongs to Sister Jiang's family. No wonder Mr. Jiang brought me here."
Jiang Rou pursed her lips and smiled gracefully, holding Gu Qingci with one hand, "Sister Gu, follow me, there are outsiders here from time to time, don't call it a collision."
It's not that Gu Qingci can't go out when she's married, but she's impatient to ask the man to stare at her.
It's just that as she was walking, she suddenly saw someone she knew in the distance, Jiang Yun, the cousin of Cheng Guogong's mansion.
So she pulled Jiang Rou and asked in a low voice, "What's over there?" She looked to the left.
Jiang Rou looked up, and then said: "It's Yueming Building, the same as Xiaoxuan's bamboo window, does that young lady, Sister Gu, know her?"
Gu Qingci nodded.
Jiang Rou's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she whispered in Gu Qingci's ear, "The eldest prince has reserved the Yueming Building today, and will meet guests here."
Gu Qingci's heart skipped a beat, the eldest prince entertained guests, so why is Jiang Yun here
Or is there any relationship between Duke Cheng's Mansion and the First Prince
