Gu Luoer looked at Gu Shiba Niang, smiling and saying nothing.
"I've met cousin Luo'er." Gu Shiba Niang bowed her head and saluted.
The corners of Gu Luoer's mouth raised slightly.
"Cousin Luo'er is now a fifth-grade imperial concubine." A voice came from the side.
Gu Shiba Niang, who was about to stand up straight, looked up and saw a proud Gu Xi'er.
These women clearly wanted her to kneel down again, just like that time when they met Mrs. Shufang. The family could obviously avoid these etiquettes, but they wanted to make her look bad.
"We are all a family, so we can talk about whether we are good or not..." Gu Luoer said with a smile.
"How is that possible? This is the honor of the official and royal family. When the parents of the imperial concubine and empress in the palace see their daughter, they also have to pay homage. Can you say that they are not a family?" Another woman said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Gu Shiba Niang with faint excitement in their eyes. This girl had subverted what they had known since childhood. How could she live so confidently and freely? Obviously you are not as good as them in any way, why do you look so arrogant
Gu Luo'er's expression remained unchanged, and she had already caught the eyes of everyone in the hall. Being pointed at and scolded by Gu Shiba Niang that time was a shame in her life. In her heart, she wished she could beat this cheap maid to death with a stick, but she couldn't help it. Zhou's laws were strict, and even if she married into a noble family, she could not arbitrarily decide whether to live or die. That time, Mrs. Shufang used Mrs. Shufang to make Gu Shiba Niang bow her head and kneel down. It felt good, so she decided to torture her again and again.
For this reason, she begged her grandfather who loved her and asked the Hou family of Baoding to make an exception and request a royal title for her in advance.
Isn't she proud? Isn't she arrogant? I want to see what else she can do to be arrogant if she is embarrassed in front of others again and again.
She got married and left Jiankang. She couldn't humiliate this bitch every day, but others could. She just wanted everyone to know that this bitch was like a dog in front of her, Gu Luoer.
In this way, as time goes by, everyone will only remember this and forget the insults they have suffered.
What right does a dog have to insult people
It was unreasonable but reasonable to pay homage with such a big salute. Gu Shiba Niang sighed and just knelt down.
She lowered her head and was about to kneel down.
A voice came from outside the door.
"Uncle is here."
This sound startled all the ladies and daughters-in-law in the room. It was too late to escape. In panic and shock, the third son of Marquis of Baoding had already strode in. Apparently he was also startled by the pearls and emeralds that filled the room.
"This...this..." He was a little stunned and looked at Gu Luo'er who had already stood up and walked over.
Gu Luo'er was also surprised, "Why is Third Master here? Aren't you going out?"
"Didn't you say that Mr. Liu's apprentice is coming today? I thought about it and decided it would be better to meet him in person." The third young master said with a smile. He glanced around the room and saw that most of the women had their heads lowered and were shy. A few of them were looking at themselves secretly. When they saw me looking over, they all lowered their heads in panic, looking very shy.
"You guys go sit in the back first." Gu Luo'er said. It was a bit inappropriate to issue an eviction order at this time, so he had to ask them to wait for a while.
The women responded chaotically and went to the back, separated only by a screen.
"Why are there so many women here? Are they allowed to entertain Liu Gong's disciples?" The third young master then asked in a low voice, is Liu Gong's disciple a licentious person? It's incredible
"Liu Gong's disciple is a woman." Gu Luo'er glared at him and glanced around, but Gu Shiba Niang was nowhere to be seen.
"Eighteenth Mother." She turned to look at the screen and shouted.
She must have followed the person behind the screen just now, I don't think she dared to slip away.
There was a buzzing sound behind the screen, and Gu Shiba Niang came out as expected.
The third young master of Baoding Hou was stunned. He looked at the tall and thin girl in front of him and said in surprise, "This, is this Liu Gong's apprentice?"
"I came to meet the Third Young Master of Baoding Marquis." Gu Luo'er said calmly, looking at Gu Shiba Niang, then turned around and stood side by side with the Third Young Master of Baoding Hou, waiting for Gu Shiba Niang to pay homage.
There is no way to escape from kneeling down today, Gu Shiba Niang said in her heart, she took a few steps forward and raised her skirt to bow.
Gu Luoer raised his head slightly and looked at her with a bit of disdain.
"No courtesy, no courtesy." The third young master of Baoding Hou took a step forward, stretched out his hand to support her, and said with a smile, "She is my sister, so there is no need to be more polite."
Gu Luoer's face was a little stiff, "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Third Master, my sister is different from other sisters..."
"He is Liu Gong's apprentice, I know," the third master of Baoding Hou said with a smile, "then there is no need to be more polite. I am just about to ask my sister for help."
He was just a craftsman. Gu Luoer never thought that his low status in her eyes was different in her husband's eyes.
She looked at Gu Shiba Niang in astonishment and saw that she had stood up straight with a smile on her lips. This smile was particularly dazzling.
"Forget it, sister, please sit down." Gu Luoer turned away and said with a calm expression.
Gu Shiba Niang said she didn't dare and did not challenge Gu Luoer's limit again but she actually sat down.
When the Third Young Master of Baoding Hou saw that she had not taken her seat, he stood up. Gu Luoer, who had already walked to the chair, saw this and found it difficult to sit down.
Seeing this situation through the gap, low whispers came from behind the screen.
"It seems that the Third Young Master of Baoding is very kind to the Eighteenth Niang."
"Yes, you still have a little sister..."
"Is it because she looks pitiful?" Someone whispered, with a bit of sourness in his voice.
The whispers suddenly stopped, and the man who spoke couldn't help but blush when he saw all the eyes turned over.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"That's right, with Miss Luo'er here, all pearls and emeralds will be eclipsed."
"You still think that the third son of the Hou family in Baoding has never seen the market?"
The timid voice immediately caused the man to lower his head and dare not say anything more. Gu Luoer in the hall coughed slightly with displeasure, and everyone hurriedly became quiet.
Gu Luoer's cough also interrupted the third son of Baoding Hou from asking Gu Shiniang curiously.
All three of them finally sat down.
"Shiba Niang, we want one hundred boxes of ginseng reconstituted pills." Gu Luoer said.
The third prince of Baoding, who just picked up the tea cup and took a sip to moisten his throat, almost spat out after hearing this.
One hundred boxes? Did she think she was buying candied fruit
Gu Shiba Niang did not feel strange, but smiled faintly and shook her head, "I'm sorry, I didn't."
Gu Luoer smiled coldly, "What? Are you afraid we can't afford it?"
In fact, according to the experience of the third son of Baoding Hou, for the Baoding Hou Mansion, a hundred boxes of Liu Gong's secret ginseng reconstituted pills are certainly not a big deal. After all, sometimes you can't buy this thing if you want to. , but for the young couple, this cost is really too much.
In fact, they only need to bring back five or six boxes and give them to grandma to please her. Grandma must like this very much, and then she will naturally want to buy some more. At that time, she will not have to pay for it herself, and she can still get it. The reputation of filial piety.
No wonder these women are always said to have long hair and short knowledge.
"How could Luo'er talk about my sister like that..." the third young master of Baoding Hou said with a smile.
These words made Gu Luoer's body stiffen again, and her hands on the chair tightened unconsciously. In her opinion, her husband, who had always been arrogant, was polite to this cousin because of his relationship, but she and this cousin I can't tell him about the quarrel between my cousins.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and looked like I don't mind her attitude.
"Then... do you have ten boxes?" The third son of Baoding Hou asked tentatively.
Gu Shiba Niang pondered for a moment, but Gu Luoer saw it and felt her heart burning. She was going to make this wretched maid look bad today. Why did this wretched maid suddenly become a guest
He's just a craftsman, the dignified Third Young Master of Baoding Hou, does he need to be so polite? Just tell her to bring it. If she dares not to bring it, she will be beaten and punished.
The silent whispers behind the screen started again. Gu Luo'er felt her face was burning. She couldn't hold back her hatred any longer. She slapped the armrest and said, "Gu Xiang, don't be ungrateful. We want your medicine because we value you."
"Shut up," the third young master of Baoding Hou shouted in a broken voice.
This sound was beyond everyone's expectation, and there was silence behind the screen, even the sound of breathing was gone.
"How are you talking?" The third young master of Baoding Hou also realized that his tone just now was too harsh, so his voice was a little softer and he whispered.
Gu Luoer had a look of disbelief on her face. Her husband, who had always spoken softly to her with a smile since their wedding, was scolding her loudly for the first time, and it was because of this cheap maid.
Thinking of the expressions of the many people she invited behind the screen at this moment, Gu Luoer almost fainted. The reason why she staged this battle today was to avenge her previous shame, but instead of avenging her shame, she only added to it.
I have only been slapped in the face so hard twice since I was born, and both times it was because of this bitch
Looking at Gu Luoer's pale face, Gu Shiba Niang smiled and turned away.
"Third Young Master, when will you set off?" she asked.
"Seven days later." The third son of the Marquis of Baoding replied hurriedly. He immediately understood what Gu Shiba Niang meant, and the smile on his face became stronger. "If my sister is in trouble, you can postpone it for another day or two."
Gu Shiba Niang nodded, "Then I can make five boxes."
The Third Prince of Baoding was overjoyed. He clapped his hands and thanked me with a smile, "Then I'll help my sister."
Gu Shiba Niang returned the greeting with a smile, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Seeing these two people smiling and talking politely, Gu Luoer felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. What is going on? It’s not that craftsmen are humble and can be stepped on by anyone. They have to be humble and humble. Why can they say no so calmly to a young master from a noble family? However, this young master from a noble family does not even feel that he is being treated. offend
What was wrong with her
"However, I would also like to ask the Third Young Master to go to Jiankang Dayousheng to get the medicine," Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile, "I signed an exclusive contract with them, so... Of course my cousin-in-law wants it, and the price will naturally be cheaper. "
The third son-in-law of Baoding was even more happy when he was called cousin-in-law, while Gu Luoer's face became even more ugly.
"Thank you so much, sister."
Gu Shiba Niang stood up, looked at Gu Luo'er and said, "Cousin, do you have any other instructions?"
Gu Luoer's face turned pale, and she looked at Gu Shiba Niang who stood calm and indifferent in front of her. Although there was no aggressive look in her eyes or a storm of scolding, this soft greeting was like a fierce punch that hit her in the face. Soul, she sat in her chair, speechless again.
Gu Shiba Niang took a few steps closer to her and leaned forward slightly, as if saying goodbye to a good sister.
"I have said that relying on others is always unpredictable. Only by relying on yourself can you be unstoppable." She whispered.
Gu Luo'er's face was pale, and her high chest was trembling due to excessive emotional fluctuations.
This is impossible, this is impossible, she is a cheap maid, she can only kneel in front of her
