After Gu Qingci came back with the two maids, she felt that something was wrong. The yard was quiet, and when the women saw her, they bowed dumbly and went to work with their heads down.
Not long after, Nanny Zhang came over with a strange expression on her face.
"What's the matter, mother?" Gu Qingci asked strangely.
Nanny Zhang walked up to her, supported Gu Qingci to sit down, and said, "Master is back."
Gu Qingci's eyes lit up, and she immediately put down the teacup, "Really, is my husband back?" After saying that, he stood up, "Is it in the study, I'll go and have a look."
Nanny Zhang laughed at her, and said with an ouch, "Grandma, please take a rest first, don't worry, the uncle is back, I just went out again when I saw that you were not at home."
"Go out." Gu Qingci looked regretful, because he could not see Li Chengze in time.
"I haven't heard of it before, otherwise I wouldn't go out today. Do you know where I went?"
Nanny Zhang shook her head, "Master didn't say anything."
Gu Qingci was still happy in her heart, thinking that maybe the academy had a holiday because of Yan Guo's coming to court, and she probably could stay at home for a few more days.
At this moment, she had forgotten about the strange look on the servant's face just now, so she just ordered the servant girl to send a message to the kitchen, telling the kitchen to prepare, and cook a table and serve it out later.
Yuzhu was still careful, and seeing Zhang Nanny's hesitant appearance, she seemed to want to say something.
The master's mind was no longer here, so he thoughtfully asked if there was something wrong with the nanny.
Nanny Zhang thought about it, but it was not easy to hide it, so she said it.
When the old man came back, he didn't even drink the tea, so Cui Zhu took advantage of the blinking, knelt down in front of the old man, stopped him, trembling and said something to say.
Gu Qingci's complexion changed when he heard this, and after humming a few words, he reprimanded: "She is so courageous, why don't you let her mess around."
Mammy Zhang felt that she was negligent, she felt guilty and didn't say a word of excuses, and then said, the uncle has always been a good-natured person, he didn't lose his temper when people stopped him, he just asked her what's the matter, just tell her straight up.
"Who knows that girl Cuizhu is playing tricks, saying that the matter is important, she dare not talk about it outside." Madam Zhang said with dissatisfaction in her tone, "Then the uncle asked her to go to the study, about two quarters of an hour later Come out, and then the uncle will go out."
Gu Qingci frowned: "What about the emerald bamboo, did the mother ask about it later, what did she say to Xianggong?"
Nanny Zhang sighed, "She's gone, the uncle sent Yuan Bao to send her to the countryside."
Gu Qingci was even more strange, surprised: "Did the husband say to send it away, and sent it to the old house?"
Nanny Zhang nodded, she was a little worried after all, so she couldn't help but say something more: "I just don't know what the uncle's plan is."
After a few words back and forth, Gu Qingci was no longer worried after clearing his innocence, but she knew what kind of person Li Cheng was like than Nanny Zhang and the others.
A Li Cheng is not greedy and lustful at all, and he certainly can't be a rough and timid girl who has no talent or appearance but shrinks back.
She thought in her heart that with her character and appearance here, her husband would hug her at night and coax herself that she was still young.
It's all like this, he can't look at others.
On this point, Gu Qingci is surprisingly confident.
After thinking about it, he said, "Just send it away, my husband must have the right idea."
She still thinks it's pure if she can't see it, but the Bai family doesn't look for trouble.
Gu Qingci himself was so open-minded, which made Mammy Zhang feel that she was so rare. She also thought about the relationship between grandpa and grandma, and grandma has become more sensible this year.
Having said that, the servants also went to work on their own.
Soon night fell, and when it got dark, Gu Qingci didn't ask for dinner first. She expected that Li Cheng would definitely come back, so she let Yuchuan wait for her to take a bath first.
The word was passed on, and soon the mother-in-law fetched water and sent it to the room.
Gu Qingci entered the bathroom, walked around behind the screen, and took off her clothes.
It took half an hour to wash slowly.
When the water was about to cool down, Yu Chuan took a cloth towel and dried Gu Qingci's body, and then brought clothes for him to put on.
Inside is a moon-white small coat, and the middle coat is made of light pink chiffon material.
It's getting hot recently, and I can't bear to wear too much, so I don't go out at night, so Gu Qingci just went back to the room.
Only took two steps inside, and saw the person sitting in the chair at a glance.
Gu Qingci waved his hand and refused to let the servant girl help him. He quickly walked over by himself, his face was full of liking, and he shouted: "Mr.
Li Cheng turned around and called her an officer.
Now the two only see each other once every half a month, which makes Gu Qingci get closer to Li Chengze.
Seeing him come back, I couldn't help but act like a baby.
Li Cheng didn't point it out, and usually coaxed her.
The maids have already known each other and retreated.
Gu Qingci put her hands around Li Chengze's waist, asking him to hug her, but Li Cheng squeezed her hand and sighed: "Sit down, I came back from outside, and my clothes are not clean." took a shower.
Then he asked her if she had eaten.
Gu Qingci said no, waiting for you to come back.
Li Cheng smiled and asked the maid to serve the food.
"In the future, eat first when you're hungry." A table of meals was served, and Li Cheng first filled Gu Qingci with a bowl of soup.
Dinner is not a lot to eat, Gu Qingci is young and greedy and doesn't know how to restrain, Li Cheng usually makes her drink a bowl of soup before eating, so that the staple food will naturally be eaten less.
Gu Qingci said softly, "I'm not very hungry, I ate two pieces of snacks to fill my stomach."
She started to eat after drinking the soup. Normally, she would not be aware of it when eating alone, but when Li Cheng was with her, she would take care of her and add food from time to time, and she was not allowed to be picky eaters.
If the servant girl said a few words, Gu Qingci would be annoying, but Li Cheng didn't need to say anything, just look at her, and she would be obedient.
The meal was very heartwarming, Gu Qingci's question made Li Chengze take half a month's vacation this time, and his eyes narrowed for joy.
After finishing the meal, the maid took the things away. Instead of sitting quietly after dinner, Li Cheng accompanied others to practice calligraphy on the table for a while, and took the time to ask about Feng Rusi's situation.
Gu Qingci herself is not very big, and she has never been a mother. She is not a person who will take the initiative to show compassion and care for her children. Besides, she has been running outside recently, so she doesn't take care of people. It's just a servant girl who reports back.
There is no shortage of food and drink.
Now he said: "He already knows a lot of characters, and now I teach him to read three articles in a ten-day period, and let him memorize them silently before continuing to teach."
Feng Ru doesn't seem to be a child who doesn't understand anything. She has learned all about the enlightenment of three hundred thousand rhythms. Gu Qingci can't teach word by word. The main reason is that she spends all her time on Cuju, so she came up with such a method. .
"He is quite obedient and smart. I let him read and memorize the articles, and he will memorize them fluently. It's just that I'm not a serious man and I don't know how to teach him. He doesn't have a playmate, but my grandmother occasionally asks him to talk."
Li Cheng pondered for a while, thinking that he should find a husband for Feng Rusi and send him to study.
After a while, he looked up at Gu Qingci, nodded and said he understood.
In a blink of an eye, there was a knock on the clapper outside, it was already Xu time, Li Cheng told Gu Qingci to go back to the bedroom to sleep, while he found his clothes and went to take a bath first.
When I came back after taking a shower and changing clothes, I saw that the little girl was still asleep, rolling around on the bed.
As the weather got hotter, I changed into a thin quilt. Gu Qingci said before that she would put bamboo mats on it, but Madam Zhang didn’t allow her to stop her. She said that it was so far away, and it was still a while away from the hottest time of summer. In a month's time, it was said that the bamboo mats used by girls would damage their health.
Li Cheng walked over and got on the bed. Seeing that her cheeks were a little red, he reached out to touch her and said, "Why are you so afraid of the heat?"
Gu Qing didn't wear any socks, so she asked her to hold the quilt beside her, hugged the pillow and lay on the bed, put her face on the porcelain pillow, and changed to another place after a while when it got hot, it was a comfort at least.
Li Cheng reckoned that this child is a typical body who is afraid of cold and heat, more afraid of cold in winter than others, and more afraid of heat in summer than others.
He said: "I will ask the doctor to take your pulse later on. I took a lot of medicine for the cold before. I think you look good. Would you like someone to prescribe two doses of herbal tea for you?"
Gu Qingci hummed twice without responding.
After a while, he crawled to Li Chengze's side like a snail: "I still have something to tell you."
Li Cheng smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Speak."
Gu Qingci got up and sat cross-legged, muttering to himself how he sent Cuizhu away, and what Cuizhu said to him.
Li Cheng didn't plan to tell her all this, because he didn't understand it all.
According to Cuizhu's words, this is a joint game between Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Wu.
Bai didn't say anything, she didn't like Gu Qingci, she had a feud with her, she couldn't see her well, and wanted to harm her like a demon.
Li Chengze actually couldn't understand why she had such a big resentment towards Gu Qingci. Gu Qingci was a bit willful, but she didn't take the initiative to provoke others, let alone harm Bai Shi. time trouble.
Li Chengze didn't have any feelings for Bai Shi. After that time, he thought that people should be silent, but he didn't expect that she was just being honest on the surface, and secretly still thinking about harming others.
The Bai family could at least find a reason here, but that Mrs. Wu was completely baffled. Li Chengze had asked Yuan Bao to investigate before, and the Wu family and the Bai family had absolutely nothing to do with each other.
There is no enmity or resentment, why do people have trouble with the Li family over and over again
So that Mrs. Wu definitely has a purpose.
It's easier to be afraid if nothing can be found out.
Li Cheng sneered in his heart, he didn't have a good temper that made people miss him and didn't fight back.
The Wu family is a landlord's house, and the rules are not so strict. When he went out in the afternoon, he bought a few servants who signed the death contract, sent them to the countryside, and left the ingots there, and asked him to teach them. The rules, after teaching, let's see when the Bai family buys people and asks them to be mixed in.
But to send Cui to the old house, this Li Cheng has other plans.
So I just told Gu Qingci, saying: "My mother asked her to serve me, the official should know that I am not that kind of person, and I don't have that kind of thought, and now I am still reading outside, that girl may have figured it out by herself. Knowing that there is no way out to stay here, I came to beg me. There is no shortage of people here and there, but there is no one to do things in the old house. My father is now leading people to do things in the house. The people who eat here are all tenants, so I’m afraid they’re not careful, so I asked Yuan Bao to send her there. Don’t worry, I’ve reported the money back to my grandmother, so I can’t blame you.”
These words sounded reasonable, but Gu Qingci didn't think much about it.
Li Chengze didn't forget to fan her while talking, she regained her spirits, threw her small pillow to the corner of the bed, and slowly got close to Li Chengze, put her hands around the man's neck, and rubbed her into his arms .
Li Cheng pinched the lump of flesh on the back of her neck, pushed her away a bit, and said, "It's not hot anymore?"
