Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes
There are four delicate side dishes and a small pot of porridge on the table.
The porridge was very fragrant, but Shu Huan didn't seem to have any appetite, so he grabbed the chopsticks and frowningly flicked them in the porridge bowl, then suddenly approached Gu Xiran, and said in a low voice: "Your excuse is too clumsy, the old lady will believe it ?"
Gu Xiran glanced at her disapprovingly: "Do you have a better excuse?"
"No
. "Shu Huan shook his head.
"Then that's it?" Gu Xiran pushed the empty bowl in front of her: "Fill another bowl for me."
…
Shu Huan glanced at the bowl, but didn't move.
Gu Xiran looked at her and added two words: "Please."
Shu Huan had no choice but to pick up the bowl and got up to scoop the porridge for him. Unexpectedly, Aunt Yun, who was standing by, rushed over immediately, took the bowl from her, and said with a slight smile, "Second Grandma scalded her hands carefully." , let me come."
Someone was willing to do it for her, and she didn't object, so she sat down and drank her own porridge. Just now Gu Xiran replied that the consummation of the house was a temporary impulse, and he didn't prepare any veils, what a bad excuse...
Just thinking about it, someone tapped his head lightly with chopsticks: "Do you still want to? If you don't believe it, you won't believe what you say, and you still plan to have a show in public?"
how is this possible!
Shu Huan blushed and glared at him.
Gu Xiran didn't take it seriously, picked up some side dishes, and said softly: "Even if they find that I'm lying, what can they do?"
It had to be like this!
But when the old matriarch just left, she looked at her as if she was looking at a vixen. Mrs. Lin also told her mother-in-law that the second master is not in good health, you should take care of it.
It's really not reconciled to let her take the blame for no reason, but now thinking about what happened last night, it seems that everything has an explanation. He expected her to be unlucky, so he planned ahead, right? Otherwise, the maids would not be able to testify that she took a bath and went to bed in the main room last night.
This careful maintenance made Shu Huan feel grateful, she whispered: "Thank you."
Gu Xiran was inexplicable: "Thank you for what?"
"What happened today."
pour a basin of cold water down
.
"You don't need to thank me, my wife, it's my business to rest and rest, and I don't like others to intervene."
…
Pretending to be affectionate.
Shu Huan silently lowered his head to eat the porridge.
After a while, the two of them finished eating, and Aunt Yun then took her seat and sat down to eat.
Shu Huan looked at the cumbersome rules of this rich family, and felt bored in her heart. Just as she was about to get up and go out for a walk, Xiangqian brought tea. She was studying what kind of tea was brewed in this tea bowl, when she heard Gu Xiran ask lightly : "Who ever got out of the yard early?"
Xiangxi didn't know, and shook her head.
It was Aunt Yun who put down her chopsticks and said in embarrassment: "When I got up early, I found that the bird's nest that Second Master used to eat was gone, so I sent Qiao Yun out to get it once, but what's wrong?"
Gu Xiran didn't answer, just put the tea bowl on the table: "Call her."
Qiaoyun is decocting medicine in the small tea room at the moment, and she is still glad that she is lucky. The old lady was angry and wanted to beat them, but she didn't think that the second master mentioned the consummation of the house, so she got away with it...
Just thinking about it, when she heard Gu Xiran calling her, she asked a little maid to watch the fire, and went to the main room by herself. When she entered the door, she was still smiling: "Second Master, are you calling me?"
Gu Xiran glanced at her: "Did you make public about the fire incident last night?"
Qiao Yun's expression changed, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "The servant girl didn't..."
"No?" Gu Xiran smiled slightly: "The fire broke out in the middle of the night, and it didn't make a big fuss. As long as the people in the yard knew, if you hadn't spread the word, why would the old matriarch come here so early in the morning?"
Qiao Yun was stubborn, and she still retorted in a low voice: "There are too many maids in the courtyard, and there are many people with miscellaneous speeches, who knows who spread the word..."
Gu Xiran rubbed his temples a little tiredly: "Whether it's you or anyone else, I heard clearly, from now on, no one is allowed to spread the news about this courtyard. If I want to spread it, I won't beat or scold you, just deduct the monthly money , the first month of rebates, then three months of rebates, and then one year or two years of rebates, whoever thinks that the monthly payment is too much, just spread the word."
Qiao Yun bit her lip, not daring to say any more
.
Aunt Yun stood up with an apologetic look on her face: "This was originally my job. I didn't take care of the maid, so I taught the second master to worry."
She didn't expect Gu Xiran not to answer her words, she only looked at Shu Huan: "Write it down?"
"Ah?" Shu Huan watched from the sidelines, feeling that his eyes were like torches, with clear insights, and secretly admired him, but he never expected that he would suddenly involve himself, and couldn't help but inexplicably said: "Write down what?"
"Rules." Gu Xiran said indifferently: "From now on, this will be your job."
…
Shu Huan was speechless, and secretly glanced at Aunt Yun, seeing that her face was flushed, as if she was ashamed, and couldn't help feeling sorry for her. It's just that sympathy is all sympathy, she is not a stunned young man, unable to jump up to fight for Aunt Yun, scolding Gu Xiran for liking the new and loathing the old!
What's new? Didn't I also get splashed with cold water just now
Seriously speaking, she has definitely lost more face in the past two days than Aunt Yun, but she has a thicker skin, and after the embarrassment is over, she forgets it and doesn't take it to heart.
Aunt Yun is definitely a thin-skinned person, her voice was crying when she spoke, she lowered her head and said, "Yan Niang is not feeling well, so I'm leaving first."
After finishing speaking, she even ignored the usual rules, and without waiting for Gu Xiran's consent, she hurriedly turned around and left.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Qiaoyun and Xiangqian found an excuse to avoid it, only Gu Xiran remained calm, as if Aunt Yun was sad or not, it had nothing to do with him.
Shu Huan glanced at him, and couldn't help muttering: "Being heartless!"
Gu Xiran raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
"Even if she is just a concubine, she has cared for you for a year anyway. Doesn't it chill her heart that you treat her like this?"
There was a smile in Gu Xiran's eyes: "I didn't expect that I would marry a virtuous and virtuous wife who would stand up for my concubine."
Is this sarcasm
Virtuous and Shude, none of these four words are suitable for her
!
She sympathized with Aunt Yun because she didn't consider Gu Xiran as her husband at all. As for the Gu family, she didn't want to stay for a long time. She just waited to find out the situation here and think of a way to make a living, so she would get out. Being outside the situation, naturally he would not regard Aunt Yun as a rival in love who threatened his status. This is different from the ancient women's three obediences and four virtues of not being jealous!
It's just that she couldn't explain the reason clearly, so she had no choice but to admit it thickly: "It's fine if you don't take a concubine, but since you do, you should treat her better."
"And then it's a little bit worse for you?"
Shu Huan choked, and retorted forcefully: "Are you treating me well now?"
"Not good enough?"
…
The topic seems to have turned in an ambiguous direction.
Shu Huan used his trump card, stood up, walked out and said, "I don't agree with you!"
Gu Xiran didn't stop her, but said slowly, "Stupid! You still have to speak for others after being betrayed."
Hey? Shu Huan suddenly turned around: "What do you mean?"
Gu Xiran lowered her head to drink tea, and said after a while: "Qiaoyun is the maid in my room, and Xiangqian is the one who usually follows her. She wakes up early to fetch the bird's nest, why doesn't she let Xiangxi go?"
Because Qiaoyun didn't keep the door open, can she say anything without any scruples
Shu Huan thought of the conversation between the two maids in front of the anteroom before the fire last night, and his heart skipped a beat, but he still couldn't believe that a woman like Aunt Yun, who looked extremely gentle and demure, would be scheming, so she couldn't help arguing for her: "Maybe Xiangqian was busy with other things at that time, only Qiaoyun was idle!"
"Really?" Gu Xiran smiled: "Qiaoyun is not a diligent person. Last night, he made a fuss in the middle of the night. I'm afraid he was still sleeping in early in the morning! You can think about other things yourself."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to be tired. He just closed his eyes, rested his mind, and stopped talking.
Shu Huan froze on the spot, thinking and thinking, and finally sighed helplessly.
