Chapter 600: I can only refuse
Aunt Cui brought the maid over to wash Gu Zizhong again.
After washing up, Aunt Cui whispered: "County Lord, the prefect intends to invite you over for a meal." ”
The prefect here also wants to befriend her?
She smeared the powder on her face, thought for a moment, and then said, "Which prefect?"
Aunt Cui laughed: "It's our Chengde prefect." There is also Naoli Futai, these two adults want to meet you. ”
Gu Zizhong laughed: "I'm not General Fuyuan, let alone General Zhaoyong, what are they doing when they see me? ”
Gu Zizhong's instinctive defense in her heart made her ignore Aunt Cui's request.
She knew in her heart that Aunt Cui had only known her for a few days, and it was fine, but she suddenly invited her to meet two such big officials, and there must be something wrong with it.
She didn't know what the problem was, she didn't want to know, and the best thing to do was not to go.
In case those people give her another favor, will she want it or not?
A lot of things are hard to do.
It's good now, but as soon as she refused, it made it difficult for Aunt Cui.
Aunt Cui is the middleman, and she didn't invite anyone, so how can she make a deal now?
So Aunt Cui was talking endlessly just now, but she was silent all of a sudden.
Gu Zizhong also smiled curiously: "Why didn't my aunt speak?"
Aunt Cui hurriedly held back a wry smile: "County Lord, this, the matter of Shanhaiguan does not have anything to do with us, but the prefect saw you, not to talk about the matter of Shanhaiguan, and it has nothing to do with the Great Wall." ”
Two people who don't know each other are suddenly going to meet, and there must be something going on here.
It's not that she doesn't want to see it, to be precise, she doesn't dare to see it.
I don't dare, and I don't want to face those problems.
She just came to Chengde for a few days, and she didn't have the ability to get along with the prefect, so she didn't go.
She could see the embarrassment on Aunt Cui's face from the bronze mirror.
With a sigh, Gu Zi looked back and said, "Auntie, don't be angry, don't be embarrassed." I've just come here, I don't know the place well, I don't even know all the generals here, they are all brothers of Brother Zishan. So where do I dare to go out to meet the prefect?"
Aunt Cui was embarrassed, but on the surface, she was smiling bitterly and said yes again and again.
Gu Zi thought about it again and said, "That's it, please ask my aunt to tell the prefect, just say that Zizhong has been unsafe recently and can't travel far." So I hope the prefect will forgive me. After waiting for a while, after Zizhong's body is healed, he will visit him in person. ”
Although Aunt Cui still had a wry smile on her face, she still showed a look of relief.
After all, the county lord helped her come up with an idea.
So after waiting for the county lord to wash and dress up, and after eating, Aunt Cui slowly retreated.
In the middle of the night, Feng Ming entered the door.
The two maids were taken away by Feng Ming and went to the kitchen to help.
Gu Zizhong looked at Feng Ming, picked up the red paper from the table, applied lipstick, and asked casually, "Didn't you go grocery shopping, why did you come back so soon?"
Feng Ming said: "County Lord, I heard when I came back just now that Aunt Cui went out and went to the prefect's mansion. ”
Oh!
Gu Zizhong really didn't guess wrong, Aunt Cui was the middleman.
I'm afraid that Aunt Cui has accepted the benefits of the prefect, but she didn't get things done.
Aunt Cui is very powerful, she is a midwife, and she is the contact person of various relationships.
The existence of this relationship made her very mysterious.
Gu Zizhong still regarded Aunt Cui as her own before, but now it seems that she has to take precautions.
What if one day she casually agreed to Aunt Cui's request and killed Brother Zishan?
She didn't want to be the one who made Brother Zishan unlucky.
Looking at Feng Ming, she also asked, "Then did you see when Aunt Cui came out?"
Feng Ming shook his head: "I don't know about this, I saw her go in, I wanted to wait, but she didn't come out after waiting for a long time, I always stood in front of the prefect of the house and didn't look good, so I came back in a gloomy way." ”
Gu Zizhong snorted and laughed.
Feng Ming also complained aggrievedly: "The doorman of the prefect looked at me carrying vegetables in my hands, and didn't move for a long time, thinking that I was begging along the street." ”
Gu Zizhong laughed even harder.
However, looking at Feng Ming's appearance, Gu Zizhong still persuaded: "Okay, I'll give you ten taels of silver, which can be regarded as compensation for you." ”
Feng Ming's face immediately turned for the better.
Gu Zizhong directly took out the silver and gave it to her: "I heard that you also need money to build a house at home, and there are a lot of expenses. I'm here to help. ”
Feng Ming took the silver and thanked him repeatedly.
Gu Zizhong sighed and said, "I don't know what this Aunt Cui thinks in her heart." I can't figure out the details of her, and I don't dare to get too close to others. ”
Feng Ming persuaded her: "County Lord, you are too cautious, aren't you? Aunt Cui is here to help you." ”
Gu Zi looked at Feng Ming again and smiled: "Yes, what you said is quite right." It's just that...... Forget it, maybe I'm thinking too much. ”
She gave Feng Ming another order and asked Feng Ming to go out and do some work.
In the afternoon, Aunt Cui came over and brought her hot soup to drink.
"County Lord, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare perilla ginger and red date soup, which is very good for pregnant women. Let's try it and see if it suits your taste. Aunt Cui came over with a spoon and fed it to her.
She took two sips, and sure enough, it was very good.
Aunt Cui said: "This warms the stomach and helps digestion, when you are pregnant, the stomach and intestines can not be damaged a little, if you eat something too greasy, it will make you indigestion." ”
She smiled and looked at Aunt Cui, and the beauty in her heart felt a little deeper.
Aunt Cui looks very amiable, just like her biological mother.
Gu Zizhong couldn't help but feel pity for her: "Today you went to the prefect, how did he treat you?"
Aunt Cui's face immediately turned red: "County Lord, you know about me...... Done?"
Gu Zizhong smiled, looking completely indifferent: "It's okay, it's okay for you to say it directly." ”
Aunt Cui smiled: "It's nothing, I told the prefect everything the county lord said to me, and the prefect asked me to say hello to the county lord." ”
Gu Zizhong didn't ask any more.
What the prefect said, Gu Zizhong didn't know, so he probably couldn't ask.
She waved her hand: "You're welcome, I'm just an ordinary county lord, I came here today, and the people here are so good to me, I feel very flattered." ”
Aunt Cui smiled and fed her another spoonful: "This is as it should be, you are the county lord." ”
