Naturally, Li Cheng didn't need Mrs. Bai to prepare anything. He didn't lack anything on his side, and there was no shortage of maidservants in the yard, so there was no shortage of help.
Now that he came, Li Chengze had dinner here and talked to the old lady. The old lady reminded her and said: "Tomorrow, you go back to the countryside to see your father. You are going out. Far away, I don’t know how long it will take to come back, I have to tell you personally.”
Li Cheng put down his chopsticks and said, "Grandson can save it."
After dinner, it was already dark, so Li Cheng lit a lantern and went back to the west courtyard.
Gu Qingci was still listless in the room, and the maid said that Li Chengze couldn't eat at the old lady's place, so she got so angry that she didn't eat, and asked the maid to carry the food down as it was.
This is the virtue of a child, and she deliberately did it for Li Chengze to see. To put it bluntly, she relied on being loved by others.
As soon as Li Chengze came back and hadn't entered the house yet, the maid on the porch reported softly, saying that grandma didn't have dinner that night.
Li Cheng nodded and said he got it, and ordered them to come over to the kitchen to make some food, not too much, since it was too late now, and he was afraid of overeating.
"The servant girl said you don't need dinner, why don't you eat it?" Li Cheng raised the bamboo curtain and walked in, sat down next to Gu Qingci, talking.
Gu Qingci pursed her lips: "I have no appetite."
The corner of Li Chengze's mouth twitched, with a smile on his face. He knew that Gu Qingci had always had a good appetite, and picky eaters also picked what he liked.
On the contrary, Li Cheng himself had a much worse appetite in summer.
But Li Cheng didn't expose her, he just said: "I'll ask the girl to bring you some food, don't be self-willed."
Gu Qingci wasn't really angry, she just wanted Li Chengze to agree to take her with her, so she made a fuss with herself.
Li Cheng coaxed her with soft words, and it was impossible for her to jump up and say something like I won't eat if you don't let me go.
Speaking of it, it has grown a lot compared to before.
Li Cheng was afraid that it would be bad for her stomach to hold her breath while eating, so he changed the subject: "You wrote to me saying that the eldest sister is going to say kiss?"
After a while, Gu Qingci nodded slowly, and said: "At first, it was the mother who was looking at each other, but now the old lady has also asked someone to inquire, not only the eldest sister, but the younger sister is only one year younger than the elder sister. , or if they are engaged, I don't know. Before, I saw that my elder sister was restless all day long, probably because she was afraid that her mother would choose an unsuitable family for her."
Li Cheng listened and said, "I'll tell my grandma later, grandma shouldn't let my mother mess around."
Gu Qingci thought of something, opened his mouth and said: "A few days ago your grandmother came to the door, I wonder if she wanted to talk about the eldest sister's marriage."
Usually, it's not a new year, a festival or a birthday, and the in-laws usually don't move around. Kuang Bai has been married for so many years, she is not a bride, and she is not so sweet.
Bai's mother has only one son, who is about the same age as Li's father, but has three grandsons.
It's just that the Bai family is poor, and life is hard.
Li Cheng had seen those cousins from his uncle's family, two of them were married, and only the third was unaccounted for, but that person had no skills, how could he let Li Zhi marry him.
In ancient times, it was popular to say that close relatives increase relatives, but Li Cheng is a modern person, how could he allow Li Zhi to marry close relatives.
The Bai family has never been in his consideration, and according to the character of the old lady, it is impossible to marry Li Zhi to the Bai family.
On the contrary, Bai's side is really not sure. She has never taken her daughter seriously, so she might be hindered by confusion.
"Sir, when are you leaving?"
While talking about the Li family sisters, Gu Qingci suddenly said something.
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "There are still ten days to go, and the palace also needs some time to prepare."
Knowing that there are still more than ten days left before leaving, Gu Qingci felt relieved, and became more and more determined that she must take advantage of these few days when her husband agrees to take her.
Just at this moment, Yuzhu came in with the food, put it on the small table just a few feet away from the kang, and then went out by herself.
Sure enough, according to Li Chengze's order, the food brought was not much, a bowl of rice, a mushroom soup and two vegetarian dishes. Li Cheng handed the chopsticks to someone, and Gu Qingci obediently ate.
Li Chengze still had half a draft of the novel unfinished. Considering that he was going to travel far away, he planned to hurry up and finish the rest of the novel, and send it to Shopkeeper Fang along with the remaining manuscripts.
So after Gu Qingci finished her meal, Li Cheng told her to stay by herself, don't rush to sleep, and play with the maids in the same room for a while before going to wash up.
Gu Qingci's original mansion had more rules than Li Chengze's, and the second wife raised her carefully, so how could she not know about these health care matters, even the maidservants knew about it, so they wouldn't let Gu Qingci mess around.
Li Cheng said he was used to it, Gu Qingci was young, so he naturally had to take care of it, it was his responsibility.
Gu Qingci likes Li Chengze, so he is naturally willing to listen to Li Chengze's words, and agrees earnestly every time.
Li Cheng asked Duan Yan to light two lamps in the study before starting to work.
A busy hour is an hour.
He only waited for Duan Yan to remind him for the second time, then he packed his things and put down his pen, and went back to the main room. After washing, he returned to the room and saw Gu Qingci rolling on the bed with his eyes still open.
"Why aren't you sleeping?"
Gu Qingci moved her body inside to give room to Li Chengze, and whispered, "I can't sleep."
Li Cheng knew that she was probably thinking about going out.
He took off his coat and threw it on the screen to hang it up, and while he was on the bed, Gu Qingci quickly crawled over and hugged his waist with one hand, arching back and forth coquettishly.
Li Cheng was funny, and then hugged her too.
Gu Qingci turned around and propped herself up on her stomach, moved towards Li Chengze, leaned over and kissed him on the face a few times, leaving a wet mark when she sucked it down.
"My husband..."
She slobbered on Li Chengze's face, eyes, and nose, and called him like a little milk cat while muttering.
Li Cheng's eyelids twitched a few times when he was called out, but he didn't speak.
Gu Qingci got more and more vigorous, and kissed the person's neck so hard that she bared her fangs and bit it lightly.
Li Cheng snorted, smiled lowly, and touched the back of her head with his big palm from behind.
"Master, do you want me to go with you?"
Gu Qingci stared at the man with moist eyes.
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows and said with emotion: "Guanguan, you really... those words are not in vain."
In less than half a second, Gu Qingci's face turned red all of a sudden.
Li Cheng was provoked by her, he couldn't bear the cuteness of the person next to his pillow.
After molesting someone, he suppressed it in an anti-customer manner.
But this day was different than usual.
Gu Qingci is a girl with a tough mind. At a few critical moments, she covered her mouth, bit her lips and cried softly, sometimes begging for mercy, and then waited for someone to have time to breathe, so why not ask intermittently? The previous sentence "Sister-in-law, do you agree?" or "Take me with you."
…
The next morning, Li Cheng woke up. He didn't rush to get up, so he sat on the bed and thought for a while.
I deeply understand that men are really easy to be ignored, especially in bed.
One night, you may not remember what you promised.
On the contrary, when eating breakfast, Gu Qingci was in high spirits.
Yu Chuan was still puzzled, grandma was still upset yesterday, so she figured it out so quickly
Li Cheng didn't change his face, he had a good meal and let Gu Qingci play by himself, he has something to go out today.
Gu Qingci was happy at the moment, and could quickly agree to whatever she wanted, without being entangled at all.
Li Cheng looked up and went out with a sigh.
In the past few days, Gu Qingci was busy instructing the maids to pack their luggage, and it was cumbersome only after tidying up.
Nanny Zhang already knew that Gu Qingci was going to go out with Li Chengze, but she didn't agree with it very much. She was worried that Gu Qingci would not be able to bear the hardships, and said that the journey was difficult. After suffering, how can I bear it at that time. Besides, this is the prince and princess who returned to Yan Kingdom with the two princes. When the time comes, those nobles must be the first on the road, and they may not be able to take care of grandma.
Nanny Zhang tried to persuade her twice, but Gu Qingci was not willing to listen and was determined to follow.
Nanny Zhang couldn't.
When Li Cheng came back and saw that Gu Qingci was going to bring so many things, his scalp felt numb for a while, so he hurriedly educated her to let her know that she was not going out to play.
Only then did Gu Qingci stop her hands with a guilty conscience, with a embarrassed expression on her face, saying that it was all according to the husband.
Gu Qingci knew that the third and fifth princes would go, so he asked casually after thinking about it, "Is the eldest prince going?"
Li Cheng was a little strange, "Ask him why?" Then he shook his head, "I probably won't go, I heard that the emperor has assigned other errands for the eldest prince."
Because Li Cheng was an important member of the entourage, he also went to the palace to meet several princes in the past two days, so he naturally knew some news.
Gu Qingci said: "Oh, it's nothing, I just think the eldest prince is weird, and he's even courting courtiers in private."
"You can't talk nonsense, it will make people suspicious and cause trouble." Li Cheng said with a frown.
Gu Qingci said that she was not talking nonsense: "Sir, do you remember the time I took me out, that is, the time I went to meet your classmate, I saw Miss Biao of Cheng Guogong's mansion meeting the eldest prince in private, how could she be a boudoir girl? Going out must be the acquiescence of the Chengguo Palace, doesn't this mean that the Chengguo Palace may get closer to the First Prince."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Li Cheng asked.
Gu Qingci nodded.
Li Cheng pondered for a moment, and then said to her: "Don't tell others about this matter in the future. The history of fighting for the crown is a taboo. It involves a lot of things, and the risk is high. Our family can't get involved. In the future, the eldest prince and Cheng Guo will be far away." That’s all for the government.”
In fact, a family like the Li family would not make people think about it, but Li Cheng still reminded Gu Qingci a few more words.
Gu Qingci agreed to all of them, and said that the eldest prince and her were not related, even Cheng Guogong's mansion and their Mingdehou's mansion could not talk about friendship, but she had some festivals with the young lady of the married family.
Li Chengze hadn't mentioned to the old lady that he was going to take Gu Qingci with him when he went out this time, so he took Li Chengze with him when he had time.
Before I could speak, I realized something was wrong as soon as I entered.
It was the old lady who was scolding Mrs. Bai.
"Grandmother, mother, what happened?" Li Cheng asked aloud.
"What a crime, you let your good mother tell herself that she is going to marry Zhi'er to your uncle's cousin, and she is planning to exchange Geng Tie without telling me!" Sun was so angry that she kept hammering the table with her hands.
Bai hurriedly said: "Mother, Zhi'er is my daughter, how can I not love her, my nephew is really a good person, Zhi'er has a stupid mouth, but my nephew is the most lively person, the two have temperament It just matches, and another Zhi'er marrying into my uncle's house is a closer relationship, and there will be no embarrassment for her mother-in-law in the future, no matter how you look at it, it will be good."
