"elder brother!"
Cao Zixi's eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Since Miss Six is here, why don't we go say hello."
"No need, she and Qian Fu are talking inside."
"Then my brother and I will go back together."
"Um!"
The brother and sister walked all the way back, with only the sound of the breeze blowing in their ears.
"Brother, is Miss Six getting engaged?" Cao Zixi's voice sounded very beautiful at night.
"Who said that?"
"I heard from Yin Deng and the others that the person they kissed was the seventh master of the Jiang family."
"Yes...really?" Cao Ziang was a little confused.
Cao Zixi raised her eyes and looked deeply at her brother. Under the faint moonlight, her handsome profile looked like a spring breeze.
She smiled and said: "For someone as beautiful and capable as Miss Six, only the Seventh Master of the Jiang family can match her. I guess the Gu family will definitely agree to this marriage."
"Oh... Really?" All Cao Ziang's words were stuck in his throat. His handsome face suddenly turned white and then red. Fortunately, it was hidden in the night, making it difficult for people to notice.
Cao Zixi's warm and sweet voice rang again, "Brother, I took the time to make you a pair of shoes. You can go to my sister's room to get them."
"No... no... another day, it's too late."
"Let's go, brother, we are brothers and sisters, what are you afraid of?"
Cao Zixi stretched out her hand to take his arm, and leaned her head on his shoulder affectionately like she did when she was a child.
"younger sister… "
Cao Ziang swallowed his words halfway and sighed lightly.
He and Zi Xi are siblings from the same mother, and they have been close friends since childhood. I didn't want to take her with me when I came to Beijing this time, but I couldn't resist her crying and fussing.
"From now on, don't do these rough jobs anymore, your hands will hurt if you pay attention."
Cao Zixi nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, brother, I only did it when I have free time. Let's go, my yard is here."
Three o'clock and three o'clock.
Mr. Gu was very drunk and was invited into the master's study with empty steps.
In the study, Gu Yanqi was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. When he saw his son coming back smelling of alcohol, his face sank.
Mr. Gu burped, quickly calmed down his drunkenness and said, "Father, my son had a few too many drinks at the boss's party today."
Gu Yanqi was also an official. He knew the importance of the wine shop and did not blame him. He said: "Today someone from the Jiang family came to propose marriage. They are talking about the seventh son of the Jiang family and your daughter."
"My daughter, which daughter is mine?" Mr. Gu smiled.
Gu Yanqi frowned and said, "Which daughter of yours can be picked up by the Jiang family and picked up every two days?"
"this… "
Mr. Gu was so shocked that he was half awake. I never thought that someone would take a fancy to Liu Yatou, and she was from the Jiang family of the Shili family.
Seeing his son's appearance, Gu Yanqi said, "What rules do you have in mind?"
"My son hasn't thought about it yet."
"Why… "
Gu Yanqi let out a long sigh and said, "This is also that girl's blessing."
When Mr. Gu heard this, he knew that his father had agreed to the marriage, and he couldn't help but said with joy: "It is indeed that girl's blessing that the Jiang family likes her."
Gu Yanqi sneered in his heart as he really agreed that fools are blessed.
The four girls in the second room were originally thought to be the top one from outside, who must have been promised a good family early on, and then they were the two concubines. That one probably died of old age at home. Who knew... the least useful one would actually take the lead.
However, being able to marry into the Jiang family will not only be of great benefit to the two sons, but also help the two grandchildren with their studies in the future.
Gu Yanqi said with a straight face: "The Jiang family is a wealthy family, and there is a longevity king behind it. We can't save on the dowry, lest we lose the Gu family's face. The one hundred thousand taels of silver... eh... just go with me."
"Yes, father."
"This girl is fourteen this year and will get married in two years. You ask your wife to take care of it slowly, and she must do it properly. There can be no mistakes, and others will not laugh at it."
Second Master Gu smiled and agreed. My daughter married into the Jiang family, and I worked as a servant for two years. I begged the eldest boss of the Jiang family to get a plum job, so I no longer had to look at that woman's face.
Wonderful, wonderful! What a good day it is today!
Mr. Gu entered the inner house with slightly drunken steps. He hesitated at the foot of the courtyard gate.
Normally, for such a big happy event, one should go to the main room and make plans with the woman, but he was not very happy to see that woman.
Mrs. Zhang is pregnant and cannot wait on him; Mrs. Xu is gentle and approachable, but unfortunately Kuishui has been here in the past few days.
Mrs. Liu hadn't touched her body for some days. She was thinking about it in her heart, but she stopped herself again. She went to the door with a shy face, which lacked the majesty of a man.
Sigh... There were several flowers in the backyard, but none of them could understand what he was saying. It was pitiful, sad, and deplorable.
"Back to the Second Master, the princess went to the old prince's mansion today and said she was going to spend the night there and not come back."
Second Master Gu waved his hand, and the joy in his heart disappeared without a trace, and a bit of the acidity of a scholar surged up.
"Come here, accompany me to the garden to sober up."
Gu Erye turned around and was about to take a step, but he bumped into someone.
"Who is so bold?" Mr. Gu became angry.
The visitor was so frightened that his feet weakened, he knelt on the ground and shouted repeatedly, "Second Master, please spare your life, Second Master, please spare your life."
When Gu Erye saw it, she turned out to be a maid, and he said angrily: "Someone in the courtyard, raise your head."
After a moment, a panicked but beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of him, and two lines of clear tears flowed from his eyes, which was indescribably pitiful.
Second Master Gu, half of his body was numb, he helped the girl up with his own hands and put his face close to her.
"What's your name, and which room do you work in?"
"Excuse me, I am serving as an errand in front of grandma and my son."
The woman spit out lotus flowers and her eyes were as charming as silk. Mr. Gu's whole body was numb, his head was buzzing, and his mouth was sealed.
"Well… "
Xiao Gu opened the curtain and came in.
"Auntie, the second master is resting in the study and hasn't gone anywhere."
Mrs. Zhang put down the needle and thread in her hand and said worriedly: "Is there a proper maid waiting for you? Do you want to go and see?"
Xiao Gu hurriedly stopped him, "The second master and Er Qian are both from the princess. If my aunt goes now, it will give the princess another excuse. If the jealousy boils, my aunt will not be able to take advantage of it."
Mrs. Zhang thought about it, so she calmed down and said, "Let's settle it."
While the master and servant were talking, a little maid came in with goat's milk and said, "Auntie, the goat's milk is hot. Auntie, drink it while it's hot."
Mrs. Zhang drank the goat's milk in one gulp, stroked her slightly warm chest, and sighed comfortably. These days, Miss Six brings goat milk every three days. I was not used to drinking it, but now I am a bit addicted.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Sixth Miss is about to say something, Xiaogu, what do you think we can give you?"
Xiaogu smiled and said: "What kind of family is the Jiang family? It is naturally more expensive. Besides, among the people in this family, only the sixth lady is looking at us seriously."
Mrs. Zhang nodded with deep understanding and thought: "This child has lost his mother since he was a child, and the female bride can't handle it. It will be difficult to embroider the dowry in the future. The nearby mansion will prepare it, so I will do some needlework for him."
Xiaogu smiled and said, "Auntie, watch your eyes carefully."
Before she finished speaking, the little maid came back and hurriedly walked to Mr. Zhang and whispered a few words.
Mrs. Zhang covered her pounding heart, her face suddenly changed, "Seriously?"
"It's absolutely true. The scream was like a slaughtered pig, and I couldn't even cover it up."
The little maid cleverly added: "Except for the master and his wife, who are still kept in the dark, I'm afraid even everyone in Dongyuan will know about it."
Xiao Gu hurriedly asked: "Which courtyard is this Shu Shu from? Why is he called such a weird name?"
"Sister Xiaogu, this Shu Shu was originally a servant in the eldest young master's study. She is quite pretty. Those around the eldest young master are all powerful. I am afraid that she will seduce the man's soul and find a wrong place to kick him out. , and later worked as an errand for Grandma Qian’er.”
Xiaogu asked: "Why did you hook me up?"
"I said I accidentally bumped into the second master's arms."
"I bother!"
Xiao Gu sneered and said: "Why didn't she run into my arms? She was just a little slut, and now she has become a vixen in our second room. When the princess comes back, how can we deal with her?"
Zhang's heart felt cold. Flies don't stare at seamless eggs. If your man is a good one, you won't be attracted by him in just one click.
She held her belly, which was still flat, and sighed softly: "Now, the second bedroom of the big house is making a lot of noise again."
Mrs. Zhou in Dongyuan had already received the news. She sneered three times, which seemed particularly penetrating in the silent night.
She had wanted to get rid of this little bitch for a long time. She had a charming face and wore flowers all day long. Her little eyes would squint whenever she saw a man, so she was afraid that people would not know that she was a prostitute.
These days, she was busy dealing with the second wife, and she had not yet spared her hands to deal with her. She never thought that this little bitch would stick to her because of her smell. It's really a good thing.
Mrs. Zhou pulled up the quilt and felt joy in her heart. With that little bitch's ability to be charming, an aunt can't escape. I wonder if Zhao Huayang will be so angry when he comes back and sees that there is an aunt in the backyard overnight.
As for her, she was found guilty of lax supervision and indulgence of her servants, and was scolded by two old men without any pain. Anyway, her feet are on that little bitch's legs. She has no control over the world, but she has no control over the girl climbing on the bed.
She can't fight Zhao Huayang, so it would be good to add some obstacles to her.
As for that little bitch... Well, you can't escape the word death. By using Zhao Huayang's help to get rid of her, not only would he be clean, but he could also take the opportunity to be a good person.
Kill two birds with one stone!
Mrs. Zhou smiled so hard that her mouth twisted, and her heart felt excited!
The night is as cold as water.
The study door creaked open.
Three or five men dressed in book clothes filed out, all of them counselors from Prince Shou's Mansion.
Ah Li walked in and saw his master leaning on the Grand Master's chair, his facial features hidden in the darkness, and his expression unpredictable.
On the other side, Master Qi was holding the wine glass, his eyes were squinted, and his eyes were out of focus, apparently deep in thought.
A Li noticed the expressions of the two of them and had to step forward and said, "Master Qi, Miss Six wants to see you." "Ah? What does she want from me?" Jiang Hongwen was puzzled.
