When the last person walked in, Liang Huaiyu's eyes lit up.
It was approaching dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone in from the window edge, forming bright spots on the ground, and he walked in calmly. A blue robe seemed to be plated with a layer of melting gold in the setting sun. His brows are clear and handsome, like a misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, hazy and freehand, the corners of his lips are slightly upturned, two thousand pear dimples are exposed on his cheeks, and he has a strong book atmosphere.
"I've seen Madam." After he came in, he bowed his hands in a neither humble nor haughty way.
"This son is also here to apply for a teacher?" Liang Huaiyu couldn't help being shocked.
The humble young man in front of him is not like an ordinary scholar at all, he is even more generous than some young men from aristocratic families.
"Exactly." The young man in blue smiled lightly, with a friendly and lovely smile.
"Where is the young master from?" Liang Huaiyu asked.
"Xiao Lou, a person from the capital city of Daliang. He is twenty years old and has been studying abroad all year round." The person who came to apply for the job was Lou Xiao, the head of the Reincarnation Pavilion.
satisfy! Liang Huaiyu sized up Lou Xiao from head to toe, and only these two words were in his mind.
"Ma'am, this is the young master who rescued our lady on the street today." Zhang Lan whispered on the side.
oh? Liang Huaiyu was even more happy when she heard that, so there is no need to ask any more, she is proficient in Rouran language, otherwise how could she help her daughter out of the siege with just a few words. in the bottom of my heart. Liang Huaiyu gave Lou Xiao a higher score.
"Who is in the son's family?" According to the usual practice, Liang Huaiyu inquired carefully. In fact, he also had a little selfishness.
Gu Yuqi is about to celebrate her fifteenth birthday. In Daqi, she is considered a big girl. If she were in the capital, she would have reached the age to discuss marriage. But in Kuizhou, where can she find a few who can fall into the eyes of Liang Huaiyu? young man.
But the man in front of him is as gentle as jade, modest and polite, no matter how he looks at it, people like him from the bottom of his heart. There is nothing to say about the appearance, but the character can be observed slowly. If it is good. It's really possible to talk to Gu Yuqi.
It's just that I don't know what his origin is. If the door is low, it will be a great joy if he is willing to marry. If the door is high, it will be a bit difficult to handle. After all, Gu Yuqi's identity was too embarrassing.
"My family background is not bad. In Liangdu, it can be regarded as a family with no worries about food and clothing. I have never been engaged to get married. I have a few brothers and sisters. Since I am not the eldest son, I can come out and practice without worry." Lou Xiao said, "I like to travel around and study. I came to your mansion today to apply for a job because of my own selfishness." Lou Xiao said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, Ma'am, the conditions in your mansion should be regarded as the best in Kuizhou City, if I can live in your mansion during my stay in Kuizhou It’s a hundred times better than living in an inn. But madam, don’t worry, I’m determined to teach what I’ve learned with all my strength. I won’t embarrass madam.”
Liang Huaiyu laughed at what he said, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this man was good, and he was full of truths without opening his mouth, which was true enough. The conditions in the Liang Mansion are indeed thousands of times better than the inns outside.
That's him! Liang Huaiyu immediately made a decision.
She asked Lou Xiao to take the card for customs clearance and carefully looked at it, and confirmed that what he said was correct, that he was indeed a good citizen of Daliang, so she signed an agreement with him at ease, and he first taught Gu Yuqi for half a year and lived in Liang's mansion , bundle repair ten taels of silver a month.
Liang Huaiyu asked the mansion to prepare a small courtyard for Lou Xiao to live in, and then asked Zhang Lan to find a servant to take care of his daily life.
On the second day, when Gu Yuqi was brought to the study, she was really taken aback. She never thought that the teacher her mother invited for her was actually Lou Xiao.
Seeing his serious look, Gu Yuqi was too embarrassed to joke. She wanted to perform the disciple ceremony, but was stopped by Lou Xiao, he said that he just came to Liang Manor to live temporarily, and he really dare not take the title of master.
Gu Yuqi had no choice but to call him "Young Master."
Lou Xiao's lectures were very lively and interesting, which attracted Gu Yuqi's full attention on the first day.
He really traveled to many places, almost all of Rouran. He not only taught Gu Yuqi the simple Rouran language, but also told Gu Yuqi the history of Rouran in detail one by one. Gu Yuqi traveled through a lifetime and was reborn, and all the masters she met were old and pedantic, so people like Lou Xiao completely aroused Gu Yuqi's interest in learning.
The one-hour teaching time passed so quickly every day, and when he said that the one-hour was over, Gu Yuqi felt a little bit reluctant for him to end it.
It's been a long time since I attended a class like this. Gu Yuqi smacked her lips with unsatisfactory intentions, but she still got up and stood up. She has been talking for an hour, and her mouth is dry, and she can't feel good and use him as a cow.
If it is said that Gu Yuqi's first impression of Lou Xiao was not good, now she has become a fan of Lou Xiaolu.
When Gu Yuqi was in class, Liang Huaiyu quietly stood outside and listened together for a while, the more she listened, the more satisfied she became, her vision was really good, she found the right teacher!
Compared with Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi who lived in peace and ease in Kuizhou, Gu Huaizhong lived in panic all day long in the capital.
The letter he wrote to Liang Huaiyu should have arrived long ago, but he never received a reply.
After being beaten up by Emperor Jing, he also knew that it was unrealistic not to find Gu Yuqi back, so he procrastinated and set foot on the road to the north.
Gu Huaizhong is the most suffocating person. There is another person in Dingyuan Hou's mansion who is about to turn green, and that is Liu Yue. Gu Huaizhong went to find that little bitch and came back. Both of them are wearing a pair of trousers, and the daughters who have been expelled from the house will be found back, so will the wife of the Hou Mansion who has left with her also come back
As soon as she thought of Liang Huaiyu coming back to press on her head again, she became so angry that she would scold Liang Huaiyu every day at home.
She scolded as well, but now she has the final say in the Hou Mansion, when she scolded Liang Huaiyu, she had to carry someone behind her back, but now she is so arrogant that she is too lazy to carry her back. A few times, he even yelled at Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu's mother and daughter in front of them.
Both Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu were rescued by Liang Huaiyu's mother and daughter when they were young, and they loved and loved them from the bottom of their hearts. After hearing such vicious curses from their mother, both of them were very depressed.
Especially Gu Siyang, he has seen more, heard more, and understood more than Gu Siyu. At the beginning Liang Huaiyu was not dead, but his father wanted to claim that she was burned to death by Gu Yuqi in the Hou's Mansion, and a special funeral was held. At that time, he was very puzzled by his father's actions. He really didn't understand why his father would do that. Do it, and plant it on the elder sister's head.
Intuitively, he already felt that there seemed to be something ulterior in this home.
The departure of elder sister and Liang Huaiyu was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
The more depressed he was in his heart, the more he was unwilling to go home, so he got mixed up with Yun Yi in a few steps. Yunyi took him around to play, drink, visit flower houses and everything. Gu Yuqi painstakingly taught him a good boy, but he gradually degenerated.
Yun Yi wanted to ask Gu Yuqi to marry him, so he naturally looked favorably on Gu Siyang. This is his future brother-in-law, and besides, his future brother-in-law is also born with smooth skin, so it will be more face-saving to take it out.
Time passed day by day, and it was another month in a blink of an eye.
Gu Yuqi and Lou Xiao get along more and more harmoniously. Gu Yuqi seldom admires anyone, but she admires Lou Xiao very much. He has extensive knowledge and knowledge, not only proficient in geography, but also dabbles in other fields. To Gu Yuqi, he is like a Like this encyclopedia, read it at any time, and new content will appear at any time.
Even if Gu Huaizhong dawdled all the way, he dawdled to the boundary of Kuizhou.
When Marquis Dingyuan arrived, all guarding officials of the Sifu naturally had to go to the gate to meet him. Who knew that Marquis Dingyuan's carriage stopped at the gate and then went straight to Liang Mansion in the south of the city.
Now everyone in Kuizhou City was in an uproar.
The Liang Mansion in the south of the city has always been mysterious in their eyes. There are only two women in charge, but they are generous to death, as if there are gold and silver mountains in the family.
And Hou Ye from the capital city is like a fairy to this remote town, but he went straight to the Liang Mansion, as if his purpose of coming was for the people in the Liang Mansion.
The carriage stopped in the open space in front of the Liang Mansion, Gu Huaizhong's heart felt as if he had overturned a seasoning bottle, and he sat in the carriage for a while, but still had to lift the curtain and get out of the carriage.
Zhang Lan was on duty at the gatehouse, and had never seen Gu Huaizhong before, but only saw a mighty motorcade approaching, the momentum was grand, and the guards at the head didn't look like they were from Kuizhou City.
"Dare to ask..." Zhang Lan saw someone coming out of the carriage, and immediately greeted him and asked. Before he could finish his sentence, he was pushed away brutally by a guard, "Go away, don't get in the way of Master Hou."
In the capital city, the streets are full of nobles, and it is considered polite for everyone to walk in the city, but once out of the capital city, Lord Hou's subordinates can walk sideways.
Zhang Lan was pulled aside, feeling angry in his heart, "Which Lord Hou?" He asked loudly, "Don't use Lord Hou to scare people, even His Highness Wang An is polite to people."
Gu Huaizhong turned his face slightly when he heard the words, "You mean His Royal Highness King An?"
Gu Huaizhong's aura was still very strong. He just glanced at it, and Zhang Lan felt an invisible pressure coming.
However, he still had the courage to straighten his back and nodded, "Not bad."
"Oh." Gu Huaizhong's eyes flashed for a moment. In Jiangxia City, His Highness Wang An should have walked very close to Gu Yuqi's unfilial daughter, and he seemed to have a little care in his heart. "Go in and report to your wife, and say that Marquis Dingyuan Gu Huaizhong is asking to see you."
It's really Lord Hou... Zhang Lan didn't dare to be negligent when he saw that he declared his family name, so he hurriedly ran into the mansion.
The guardian of Kuizhou led the officials of Kuizhou city, large and small, to rush over. Those who rode horses and chariots did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Lord Hou. Anyone who dared to sit in a sedan chair ran over. Pitiful for these people who usually live in Kuizhou. People who are pampered and pampered are sweating from running. Although it is the end of summer, the sun is still vicious.
Liang Huaiyu is embroidering pillow covers in the room, summer is coming to an end, she wants to prepare two thicker pillow covers for Gu Yuqi to use in winter.
As soon as Zhang Lan came in and said, the needle in her hand was crooked and pierced into the flesh of her fingertip, and a drop of blood oozed out instantly.
His heart tightened suddenly, Liang Huaiyu stood up, "Say it again?"
"Ma'am, there is a person at the door who claims to be Gu Huaizhong, Marquis of Dingyuan, asking to see you." Zhang Lan repeated.
Liang Huaiyu's eyes flashed with a little panic, what is he doing here? But soon she regained her composure, raised her eyes slowly, and said firmly, "No see! Close the door!"
"Yes." Zhang Lan didn't think much about it. Madam said no, so let's see, he hurriedly ran out again.
The man in black uniform at the door was still standing outside the door with his hands behind his back. He seemed a little impatient to wait, walking back and forth. Dou spit anti-garbage.
Seeing Zhang Lan coming out, he stopped and turned his eyes to look over.
Zhang Lai came over and bowed his hands, "Master Hou, our wife said, no see!" After speaking, he turned around and entered the door, and slammed the two side doors of the Liang Mansion that were open during the day.
Hello Liang Huaiyu! I have traveled thousands of miles to invite you, but you are really cruel. Gu Huaizhong cursed secretly in his heart. Liang Huaiyu's cruelty is nothing compared to his viciousness. She just avoided seeing her, but he wanted her life.
"Bring the mat." He said in a deep voice to the left and right.
"Yes." The cronies beside him took off a thick cushion from the car and handed it to Gu Huaizhong.
Gu Huaizhong threw the mat in front of the gate of Liang Mansion, and then he knelt down on it.
"Xiaoyu. If you don't see me, today I will kneel and die in front of your door, and I won't give up!" He said loudly to the people inside the door.
As soon as he said this, all the Kuizhou officials who followed were dumbfounded.
What to do? They looked at me and looked at you one by one, and they all fell silent. The one kneeling in front is Lord Hou, this... What should I do for these local officials. Kneel together? Not so good... It's not too good not to kneel...
All of a sudden, these officials only hated themselves for following them. If they had known that Lord Hou played his cards so unreasonably, they might as well call themselves sick at home and avoid welcoming them...
Kuizhou's officials, big and small, couldn't make up their minds, so they had to turn to their highest officer, the guarding minister, for help.
Lord Guardian Secretary is also sweating all over his forehead now.
What is this called? Lord Hou came here, so naturally he wanted to go out to welcome him, he was the one who saved His Majesty twice, he was also the son-in-law of the former God of War family, and he was a great hero of Da Qi. By the way, the God of War is surnamed Liang, from the Liang family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the mistress of the Liang mansion is also surnamed Liang... Mr. Guardian Si has only now realized that the wife of the Liang mansion is not Mrs. Liang, but Mrs. Gu The talent is right, so her daughter is also surnamed Gu.
Look at his stupid brain, how could he never have thought that the owner of the Liang Mansion is actually the wife and young lady of Marquis Dingyuan!
Oh my god, fortunately their mother and daughter are in Kuizhou, and I and the officials under me didn't have any bad intentions towards them...
Thinking of the head of the guarding chief was sweating, it was frightening and anxious.
"My lord, what should we do now?" Among the other officials, the courageous ones hurried forward to ask the guardian.
"How do I know!" The guardian yelled back in a low voice. It was a matter of husband and wife quarreling, how could these people follow along.
But after all, it was Lord Hou, and they were local officials who came to greet him. They couldn't pretend that Lord Hou was kneeling at the door of someone's house. But if you kneel together, it's a joke to get this book out.
"Stand still!" The guardian wiped his sweat and said, "When will my wife open the door, and when will the calculation be over!"
I can only stand by.
Zhang Lan was closing the door, and hearing Gu Huaizhong yelling like this, he had no choice but to run to Liang Huaiyu's side again and repeat Gu Huaizhong's words to Liang Huaiyu.
Liang Huaiyu was already restless. While listening, she embroidered two wrong stitches in a row, so she simply put down the embroidery.
"He really knelt at the door?" Liang Huaiyu asked absently.
"Yes." Zhang Lan nodded. He never knew what the real identities of Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi were, but in Jiangxia, His Royal Highness King An had already lived in their home, and now another Marquis of Dingyuan came, Zhang Lan didn't understand anymore He also understood that the lady and lady he was following had unusual backgrounds. "What about madam?"
"What should we do? Let him kneel first." Just as Zhang Lan finished asking, Gu Yuqi's voice came in from the door.
As soon as she finished class, she saw Bai Fu rushing to the study in a panic, and before Lou Xiao and Gu Yuqi put away the pens and papers they had just used, she yelled, "Miss, it's not good, Master Hou is here .”
Gu Yuqi was startled at the moment, "Which Lord Hou?"
"It's our master, Marquis Dingyuan." Bai Fu said anxiously.
As soon as Gu Yuqi heard this, she immediately bowed to Lou Xiao, dropped her things and ran towards Liang Huaiyu's yard. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Zhang Lan say that Gu Huaizhong was kneeling at the gate.
So she couldn't help but interjected.
"This..." Is it from Miss or Madam? Zhang Lan looked at Liang Huaiyu.
Seeing her daughter come in with an angry face, Liang Huaiyu sighed silently in her heart, "Here you come, Sit down, Mother has something to say to you." After speaking, she said to Zhang Lan, "Go out first, .I'll call you later."
"It's Madam." Zhang Lan immediately left the room upon hearing this.
"Mother, don't you really want to change your mind?" Gu Yuqi calmed down and asked, she was pulled by Liang Huaiyu to sit beside her.
"Look at this letter first." Liang Huaiyu took out the letter from Gu Huaizhong from under the pillow, and handed it to Gu Yuqi.
Gu Yuqi looked at it and sighed from the bottom of her heart.
She took the letter silently, and first took a deep look at Liang Huaiyu.
Even without reading the letter, Gu Yuqi guessed that the letter was written by Gu Huaizhong. Otherwise, Liang Huaiyu would not have concealed herself, and hid the letter under her pillow. In her heart, Gu Huaizhong might still occupy an indelible position.
Gu Huaizhong's move was ruthless enough, and he knelt in front of Liang Huaiyu... Gu Yuqi faintly felt that she seemed to be returning to Beijing again.
