Gui Bai has always felt very sad, and as the days passed, his sadness became more and more intense. He is already in his twenties, and has been with Lord Hou for more than ten years. He has watched Lord Hou marry his wife, and watched Lord Hou have a son and daughter. Miss Sangyu is already three years old now, him! return! without! marry! old! Po!
Facing his gradually aging face in the mirror, Gui Bai felt very melancholy. He had planned to get married a long time ago, and Master Hou also helped him find it. However, when he finds a good woman, it is either because he is too busy and has no time for the Gu family to refuse to marry, or because he eloped with his childhood sweetheart and failed to marry.
After tossing and tossing five or six times, he was already disheartened, so he just resigned himself to fate. I really met a suitable remarry.
However, he followed Master Hou every day, so it didn't matter if he didn't marry a wife. Really, the key was to see Master Hou happy and happy every day, holding his wife and leading the young lady out for a walk when he had nothing to do, it was so annoying!
No, today is Qixi Festival again, every Qixi Festival is the day that Gui Bai hates the most. Ever since the world was at peace, Lord Hou has treated his wife with infinite kindness. What do you say? Madame just wanted to see flowers, so Lord Hou asked people to move all kinds of flowers that were blooming in the capital to Feiwan Pavilion, there were more than a thousand pots, and even if you have money, you shouldn't burn them like this!
If Madam wants to see the sea one day, will Lord Hou flood the capital for Madam to see
On the first Qixi Festival after the fourth prince ascended the throne, Lord Hou took his wife to swim in the river and set up lanterns full of rivers to make his wife happy. On the second Qixi Festival, he said that he wanted to surprise his wife, and set off Kongming lanterns again. There were more than 500 lanterns, and he brought people to light them all. On the third Qixi Festival, he took his wife away from Beijing to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, causing a bunch of ministers to come to the door in a hurry to find someone, which was also blocked by him staying in the mansion.
Who can understand the heart of a single follower? The heart of a lonely man who has been single for nearly 30 years and can only help his master to play romance forever, but has never met his favorite girl!
Gui Bai glanced at the mirror again, for some reason, since the last time Dong went to buy this mirror, he couldn't put it down, and he had to look at himself from time to time.
"Ghost Bai, help me pick someone up." Ji Man received the news, came out to look at him in a hurry, and said, "I came back from the border town today, and I should have arrived at the post station in the capital. You don't need to do anything else, just take her back to Hou Just come to the mansion."
Came back from the border town? Guibai can probably guess that it was the water lady who used to help his wife with things. She is a smart woman who knows how to do business. She used to help his wife and made a huge sum of money. Later, Aunt Ling took the account book and denounced her. , was sent to prison because of the involvement of the Nie family in bribery.
Afterwards, he was supposed to be executed, but Lord Hou asked someone to ask for it, and he was exiled instead. Now that the situation in the court has stabilized, it's time to take it back.
What good can a woman do if she is exiled? Probably, all the sufferings in this world should be tasted. Gui Bai is quite happy to pick up people, because once he picks up people, he can escape the mission given by Master Hou!
Although Lord Hou hasn't given any tasks yet this year.
He quickly got into the carriage and went to the post station. Guibai had already thought about it all the way. A woman like Shui Niangzi might be insane or a little sensitive. He tried not to scare her or discriminate against her. some human care.
As a result, a big and generous girl was next to her, wearing a long taupe-colored dress, her hair was combed neatly, except that her eyes were a little dull and she was always looking at the ground, everything else was normal.
Gui Bai feels that the stronger a girl is, the weaker her heart is, and he must not hurt her.
"Madam sent someone down to meet you, Lady Shui has worked hard all the way." Gui Bai said respectfully.
Shui Niangzi nodded lightly, and returned a salute to him: "Thank you."
There was a big change back then, and I thought I would definitely be decapitated. In her whole life, because she met nobles, she changed from being poor and humble to being prosperous, and her father was able to spend his last days in peace, and she was able to punish a few greedy relatives, feeling proud. If there is a price to pay, then it doesn't matter if she dies.
It's just that she didn't die, and she was able to return to the capital again. Then it's okay to suffer all the way, she can still put incense on her father's grave.
After getting into the carriage, Miss Shui's eyes were still a little dazed, and she couldn't help but think about what happened back then when she returned to the capital. How did the account book she handed over to Madam back then fall into the hands of other people? That's what led to the catastrophe that followed.
Gui Bai couldn't help but took out the mirror to look at himself. A girl who has suffered a lot is still so calm and generous, shouldn't he also cheer up and find another good girl
When the car drove to the city, it was getting late, and people were crowded everywhere to watch the lanterns. Gui Bai reckoned that there would be no one in the mansion when he went back now, Lord Hou and his wife must have gone out long ago.
"I haven't been back to the capital for a long time, do you want to go shopping first?" Gui Bai kindly suggested: "The street is very lively today."
Shui Niangzi looked at him in surprise: "Don't you need to go back to the Marquis Mansion first?"
"No, it might be just right when I go back to see you later." Gui Bai said, throwing the carriage at Ji's Grain Store, and got off with Shui Niangzi: "Today is just in time for Qixi Festival, Shui Niangzi can take a good look at it." look."
Shui Niangzi thought about it and agreed, seeing that this man had an upright face, it didn't look like he would harm her. When she came to the Marquis Mansion to meet his wife, she had met him twice on the way far away, and felt that this man had an extraordinary bearing. Although he was just a follower, he was quite attractive.
At that time, she also went to inquire about this person's name, Guibai. It's just that after a few ups and downs, when we met again, she was already a young lady, and it seemed that he already had a wife and concubine.
If some things are not in time, there will be no drama.
The two started from the food store and walked all the way to the direction of the moat outside the city. Those streets were crowded with people, and there were many small stalls beside them, selling things that their daughter's family liked.
Gui Bai and Shui Niangzi walked side by side, their hearts beating for some reason. I sneaked a few glances at the people next to me, but the drums became louder and louder.
"My lord, why don't you buy a sachet for your wife? This color is just right for her!" the sachet seller grabbed Gui Bai and said.
Gui Bai was stunned, took out the money in a daze, took the sachet and turned to look at Shui Niangzi: "Miss?"
Shui Niangzi was astonished, then laughed, looked at the sachet in his hand for a while, then took it and said: "Since it's a festival, I'll take it."
"My lord, can you buy a hairpin for your wife? This lotus hairpin is very pretty."
"..." Gui Bai took out the money.
"My lord, why don't you buy a lantern? It's Qixi Festival today, and I just want to put one on for your wife."
"..." Continue to pay.
After walking all the way, the purse was empty, and the woman next to her was holding a bunch of things, laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Gui Bai stared at her blankly, thinking that she would still smile so happily, it would be worth the money, after all, she is Madam's distinguished guest.
"You man, why do you buy what other people ask you to buy?" After laughing, Lady Shui reprimanded him: "Your wife won't take care of you?"
Gui Bai couldn't help but took out the mirror and looked at it, then said nervously: "I'm not married yet."
The smile froze, Shui Niangzi looked at him: "It's such an old age..."
He must be the father of several children, right? How come you haven't married yet? !
Gui Bai was a little embarrassed, but it just so happened that Kongming lanterns who did not know who set them up flew in the sky, one after another, lighting up the entire sky in an instant. He quickly pointed to the sky and said, "Look!"
Shui Niangzi turned her head to look over, it really is a prosperous and prosperous capital, compared to the desolation of the border towns, it is really like a paradise.
The two of them kept looking up, and the passers-by pushed Shui Niangzi, and she bumped into Gui Bai's arms with a lot of things. Raising his head in panic, he just met Gui Baizheng's lowered head.
Since Ghost White is too tall, they naturally can't get close. It's just that it's so close, the breath is ambiguous, and there are pink bubbles all around.
"It's time... to go back." Gui Bai took a step back in fright, looked left and right, and stammered.
Shui Niangzi licked her hair and nodded, "Yes... yes."
With dry laughs, both of them looked away, went to fetch the carriage, and walked towards the Hou's mansion.
But when I went back, I found that Madam and Master Hou had been waiting in the hall, and Ji Man was already dozing off. Ning Yuxuan looked at him who stepped into the door, and said displeasedly: "It takes so long to pick someone up from the post station?"
Ji Man was startled awake, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lady Shui, and quickly stood up and said, "Finally back!"
Shui Niangzi was a little embarrassed, and put down the things in her arms to salute: "Minister girl..."
"You don't need to be polite, you have suffered for so many years." Ji Man quickly went up to help him up, glanced at the things on the ground, and looked at Gui Bai next to him in surprise: "You..."
"I didn't know Madam and Master Hou were waiting, but I thought Madam and Master Hou must have gone out on Qixi Festival today..." Gui Bai also knelt down and said bravely.
Ning Yuxuan's complexion was ugly, it was as black as if the bottom of a pot had been wiped off: "Madam has been waiting since you left the house and hasn't gone anywhere. Why didn't you come back and report, where did you take someone?"
Ji Man stood up, pulled Ning Yuxuan's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "You still don't give employees the freedom to fall in love? You should have guessed it by looking at this, and you still ask? I prepared a candlelight dinner, why don't we go first?" Go back to your room."
"What about them?" Mo Yuhou frowned at Guibai.
"Let Guibai take Mrs. Shui to rest." Ji Man hugged his arm and said, "A boss who understands his employees is a good boss. Let's give Guibai a love leave, otherwise he won't get married at such an old age. Eighteen generations of ancestors will never let you go."
Mo Yuhou pouted, glanced at the two people on the ground, pursed his lips and said, "Okay, Gui Bai will take Miss Shui to rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
