175, different after all
The Manfuyuan was over, some people were happy and some were worried.
Why is Gu Shangshu nowhere to be seen at such a late hour, because Gu Shangshu went to accompany Mrs. Zhao.
Although Mrs. Zhao is insane, she is pregnant with Gu Shangshu's first son, how could she not be happy? Don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, even if Gu Shangshu doesn't like Zhao Shi, he still likes Zhao Shi's belly very much.
When Gu Qianxue passed by the Peony Courtyard with her maid, she couldn't help but take a deep look at the darkened window.
She felt sad for Mrs. Zhao, and also for the women in the backyard—when a woman had to use her stomach to keep a man and a marriage, what other words could be used to describe it besides sorrow
Thinking of Mrs. Zhao, she suddenly felt that Mrs. Zhao, who was mentally incompetent, might be lucky, after all, she could not feel these injustices.
The woman's laughter was faintly heard, it was the aunts who were returning to the yard, seeing the master was happy, the maids hurriedly said festive words, advising the master on what clothes to wear when entering the palace tomorrow, what kind of headgear to wear and so on.
"Miss, what are you thinking?" Because Gu Qianxue stood at the gate of Peony Court for a long time, Yulian couldn't help asking softly.
Gu Qianxue said, "Yulian Yucui, if you marry someone as a legal wife, but your husband wants to marry a concubine, what will you do?"
The two thought for a while, and Yu Cui said, "I must discipline those aunts well, and I will never let them steal the limelight!"
"..." Gu Qianxue asked Yulian again, "Yulian, what about you?"
Yulian is calmer than Yucui, but she is only a teenage girl, "Miss Hui, I will take good care of the gates and never allow those tricksters to enter the yard."
"..." Gu Qianxue was a little speechless, "Do you really want your future husband to marry a concubine? Don't you think about preventing this from happening?"
The two girls stared at Gu Qianxue as if they had seen a ghost, "Miss, are you okay?" "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Yulian said, "Men have three wives and four concubines, even the emperor, let alone other men? Even the farmer, who has saved a few taels of silver from the bumper harvest, wants to buy a concubine and come back."
Yucui nodded frequently, expressing her agreement.
Gu Qianxue sighed deeply, "I am different from you after all." She was referring to the fact that she used to be a modern person and lived in a world where monogamy and human rights are guaranteed. It is not easy for her to change.
"If I say that I only marry the person I love the most, that person can only marry me in this life and is not allowed to marry any concubine, do you think I am daydreaming?" Gu Qianxue asked her two maids behind her.
Yulian and Yucui smiled awkwardly, "How...how could it be?" "How could Miss... daydream?"
Although she said so, Gu Qianxue could tell that the two were lying in good faith.
Finally, Gu Qianxue sighed, "Let's go, go back to sleep."
Yulian and Yucui looked at each other, wondering why Miss Today was so emotional, so they could only follow their own lady back to Tingxue Courtyard.
What Gu Qianxue didn't know was that Gu Shangshu and Gu Qingze were lying on the bed, looking sideways at Zhao Shi's sleeping face with the help of the faint moonlight, but couldn't help muttering in his heart—did he take some wrong medicine today? beautiful? She is obviously a fat woman with a mental insufficiency! But... so beautiful? Could it be that you haven't touched a woman for a long time? No, I just spent the night in Aunt Liu's yard yesterday.
Under the moonlight, the Zhao family, Zhao Ruolan, was as beautiful as a fairy descended from the earth, with unbelievably fair skin, a slender and taller nose than ordinary women, deep eye sockets, and eyelashes as thick as butterfly wings.
Gu Qingze has experienced a lot of women. Naturally, the aunts in the backyard have been favored by him, and they can be considered fat and thin, but this is the first time he has seen a woman with such a deep outline and thick eyelashes.
Men are all visual animals, not to mention that Gu Qingze is only in his thirties, which can be regarded as a young age. When he admired Zhao's beauty, his body changed, and his breathing became much heavier.
Zhao Shi happened to wake up, she slowly opened her eyes, and rubbed her eyes with white, soft and soft hands deep in her eyes, her eyes were clear and untainted by the world. "Husband, what are you looking at?" the voice murmured.
Gu Qingze felt more and more uncomfortable, wishing he could turn into a big bad wolf and swallow the little white rabbit in front of him.
But Gu Qingze didn't dare, because Mrs. Zhao was still pregnant with his son, if something happened to his son, Gu Qingze would have to use a knife to kill himself.
"It's okay, go to sleep." Gu Shangshu's voice was suppressed.
"Oh." If it was another woman, he would definitely notice the change in Gu Shangshu. But Mrs. Zhao was mentally incompetent, so she only agreed and fell asleep again.
At this time, Zhao Ruolan didn't have the charm of a young woman, nor did she have the shyness and shyness of a young girl, but she had the ignorance and innocence of a fairy who is not stained with mortals. This kind of woman is the nemesis of all men.
This night, Gu Shangshu was doomed to have a sleepless night.
On the second day, not to mention that the aunts of the Gu family were busy all day, all the officials and women in Beijing were busy.
The reason, of course, was to rush to the imperial palace banquet unexpectedly invited by the queen empress.
Because the incident happened suddenly, some women had no new clothes to make, so they had to go to the clothing stores in the capital to buy them now, and because there were so many people buying clothes, several women fought for a piece of clothing.
On the contrary, Gu Qianxue was very idle during the day, so she ran to Prince Li's mansion.
Nanshan Courtyard.
"Mian'er sent someone from Xilin City to bring the special Zhushui tea, you have a taste." Qin Fei's voice was gentle, as if a soft little hand stroked someone's cheek, it was very comfortable.
While making tea, Shen Momo said, "Miss Gu, as soon as the tea was delivered to the palace early in the morning, the servant wanted to brew some for the empress, but the empress said that she would drink it together when you came. The empress really loves you to the bone. .”
"Booty." Concubine Qin cursed with a smile, and then patiently explained to Gu Qianxue, "In other places, this tea is harvested in spring, but the Zhushui tea in Xilin City is harvested in late autumn and winter, and the taste may not be good. Good, but unique."
"Thank you, ma'am," Gu Qianxue took the teacup with both hands, grimaced at Nanny Shen, and stuck out her little pink tongue. "Thank you, Shenmao, too."
Mother Shen was amused by her, her eyes were full of kindness.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Gu Qianxue took a sip slowly, frowned, and didn't know how to comment, because she really didn't know much about tea.
"How?" Concubine Qin asked with a smile.
Gu Qianxue organized a bunch of words to describe the tea, but before leaving the mouth, she finally sighed, "Sorry, I really don't know much about tea, all the tea tastes the same in my mouth, only slightly better than plain water .” He said, his expression full of frustration.
Gu Qianxue's expression made Concubine Qin and Nanny Shen lean back and forth with laughter.
As it was approaching lunch time, as usual, a maid came forward to ask for instructions on lunch, but Gu Qianxue had an idea. "Concubine Qin, Mother Shen, how about letting me cook and prepare lunch at noon today?"
