Chapter 008: An Unexpected Visitor

"Grandma, it's a pity for Shen Sanye!"

Ziye quietly glanced back several times, until Qi Shenzhi's figure disappeared completely, and then she reluctantly turned her head and muttered in a low voice. The pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info secretly scolded Luo for not having long eyes, and such a good husband was willing to leave.

Gu Jialuo raised his eyebrows on one side, glanced at the purple leaves that were red on his cheeks without a trace, and was noncommittal to her words.

Gu Jialuo returned to Qi's house this time, and brought a total of four first-class maids, four second-class and four third-class maids with him. Among the first-class maids, in addition to the perilla and crape myrtle given by the Song family, there are also purple leaves and purple beads rewarded by the old lady of the Zhao family.

Chunlan and Chunzhi, who were given by the ninth princess in the name of the queen, were married off by Gu Jialuo with a rich dowry.

Speaking of this, in a sense, Gu Jialuo also has to thank the Qi family.

Gu Jialuo has never known how to treat Chunlan and Chunzhi, as people from the palace, Chunlan and the others are very arrogant in their bones, and they don't have much awe for Gu Jialuo, the nominal new master, let alone the maids in Gu Jialuo's room.

The maids under his command can't get along with each other, especially the most important first-class maids can't be of one heart and one mind, this is definitely not what Gu Jialuo wants to see.

It's just that both of them are rewarded by the queen, and Gu Jialuo can't send them out like he did with ordinary people.

But it can be kept, it is always a hidden danger.

Just when Gu Jialuo was in a dilemma, something happened to the Qi family.

Gu Jialuo took advantage of the moment of sending the ninth princess a return gift, and pretended to be frightened and said to the ninth princess: "The Qi family has made a big mistake, and the concubine, as the wife of the Qi family, needs to be more cautious. The concubine was taken pity by the queen and the princess, and specially gave the grandmother and the palace maid, and the concubine was grateful. But now that the Qi family has caused such a big mess, the concubine really has no face to leave her grandmother and palace maid by her side......"

If the Qi family causes trouble, the saint will be severely punished, and the title of the Guogong Mansion is estimated to be unable to be saved. Once the house was raided, the Qi family was reduced to ordinary people. And Gu Jialuo, as the wife of a commoner, how can she get the decency to let the palace maids serve?!

Gu Jialuo didn't say the rest of the words, but the ninth princess understood. However, at that time, the ninth princess's dementia had not yet recovered, and she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "You don't like the two of them?" Could it be that they did not serve with all their hearts? ”

Gu Jialuo's forehead twitched, is this ninth princess really a fool? Sighing silently in her heart, she whispered to the ears of the ninth princess, and 'translated' Fang Cai's words more bluntly.

The Ninth Princess blinked her eyes and said, "Oh, that's right." But I'm not short of people here, so you can help me get them away. ”

Gu Jialuo: "...... "If I want to be qualified to dispose of the palace maid, I won't come to ask you on purpose."

The innocent eyes of the ninth princess looked straight at Gu Jialuo, no matter how depressed Gu Jialuo was, he had to swallow silently.

Seeing that she couldn't get an idea from the Ninth Princess, Gu Jialuo had the courage to ask the Ninth Princess to lead her to meet the queen.

Fortunately, although the ninth princess was stupid, the queen still valued her, and met Gu Jialuo very face-saving.

Gu Jialuo said those words again in fear, and then humbly prostrate and begged the queen to take back the two grandmothers and the two palace maids.

The queen is a noble person, and she has long forgotten about it because of her complicated affairs on weekdays. However, after listening to Gu Jialuo's words, the queen keenly grasped a key point: the Qi family was convicted, and the Gu family did not rush to put it aside, but still regarded herself as the wife of the Qi family, does this show that the Gu family is still willing to maintain an in-law relationship with the Qi family?

The county lord of Qinghe is the niece of the queen, and the west mansion of the Qi family is the help of the queen and the prince, and the queen does not want to see the Qi family defeated. If the Gu family does not abandon the Qi family, this is a good thing for the Qi family and the queen.

Thinking of this, the queen readily agreed to Gu Jialuo's request: recall the two grandmothers. As for the two palace maids, because they were about to retire, the queen sent a message and asked Gu Jialuo to come forward to find a mother-in-law for them to marry directly.

Gu Jialuo was very happy, and after returning home, he asked Chunlan and Chunzhi to talk, first conveyed the queen's message, and then asked the two what they wanted from their future husbands.

Chunlan and Chunzhi were a little proud, and they didn't want to marry an ordinary man and a common man, so they thought about it for a few days and put forward their own requirements: one wanted to marry a young, talented scholar, and the other wanted to find a great man.

Shizi or something, Gu Jialuo directly found Cousin Feng. My cousin is a scholar and has a wide range of contacts, and after listening to my cousin's request, within two days he ordered someone to send a page of the list for you to choose.

Gu Jialuo directly handed it over to Chunlan to decide.

And Chunzhi's husband is better chosen, and the Gu family alone has many young military attachΓ©s who are not of high rank, but are extraordinary. Gu Ze'an didn't give any list, and directly called seven or eight young and strong men who had not married from the guards, and asked Chun Zhi to choose them by herself through the curtain.

Gu Jialuo was active, Chunlan and Chunzhi hated to marry, and the marriage was finalized in just a few days.

Gu Jialuo symbolically handed the post into the palace and returned to the ninth princess, the ninth princess didn't care at all, but for the sake of face, she casually rewarded Chunlan and Chunzhi with a set of jewelry each.

The old lord of the ninth princess expressed her attitude, and Gu Jialuo had no scruples, generously bought a dowry for the two, and quickly married them off.

Chunlan and Chunzhi left, and the first-class maid beside Gu Jialuo vacated two gaps. When the old lady of the Zhao family heard about it, she selected two well-behaved and stable maidservants from the Daoxiang Courtyard and sent them to Gu Jialuo.

These two are Purple Leaf and Purple Bead. Among them, Ziye is older, already seventeen years old, and learned good cooking skills from her mother, and was in charge of Gu Jialuo's diet when she was in the Gu family.

"It's such a person, I met someone who is not ladylike, and I actually met Luo-" Ziye muttered in a low voice, his tone full of appreciation and pity for Qi Shenzhi.

Gu Jialuo didn't speak, only glanced at her lightly.

Zi Ye chuckled in his heart, swallowed the words behind his head, and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "The servant knows his mistake, the maid and the maid should not make up the master behind their backs." ”

Ziwei, who was standing on the other side, frowned slightly, Ziye's attitude of admitting her mistake was very sincere, but the problem was that this was not the point at all. What Gu Jialuo was really angry about was not the master of the Purple Leaf Weaving Sect, but that she was talking openly in front of the eldest grandmother about an uncle and brother in the next room.

Especially the eldest grandmother once had such a scandal, and now that the uncle is not at home, the eldest grandmother should be more careful.

Ziye, as the big grandmother's personal maid, should be more cautious, but now she's-

Ziwei secretly decided that when she was free later, she would definitely talk to Ziye about it.

"Well, it's good to know it's wrong." What Ziwei thought of, Gu Jialuo could naturally think of. She didn't break it, said lightly, and then continued to walk towards Xuanruitang.

In the upper room of Xuanrui Hall, the county lord of Qinghe had already gotten up and was sitting on the Luohan bed in the middle of the room drinking milk.

Seeing Gu Jialuo coming in, she smiled and beckoned, "Xiang'er, come and sit." ”

Gu Jialuo smiled and made a blessing, "The daughter-in-law greets her mother, did her mother sleep well last night?" ”

"Okay," the county lord of Qinghe handed the porcelain cup to the maid beside him, and beckoned: "Come here, there are no outsiders left and right, let's talk." ”

Gu Jialuo sat obediently on the drum pier in front of the bed, she felt that the county lord of Qinghe seemed to be in a good mood today, so she asked tentatively: "Mother's complexion is so good, what is the joy at home?" ”

The county lord of Qinghe browled his eyebrows, "I received a letter from the southwest last night, my lord, they leveled a cottage again, and the reconstruction of the camp is also going well, if there is no accident, their father and son will be able to come back two years ago." ”

Isn't it a happy event that the husband and son are coming back?

Gu Jialuo's smile was suffocated, and he secretly complained in his heart: No, why did they come back so soon? Didn't you say that it would be next spring at the earliest?

"Big, uncle, coming back? Sure enough, it's a good thing! Gu Jialuo's expression was a little stiff, and he said slightly unnaturally.

The county lord of Qinghe can understand Gu Jialuo's mood very well, after all, when Qi Jinzhi first returned to Beijing, he was not very close to Gu Jialuo and the Gu family, and even quarreled and left more than once.

Although Qi Jinzhi did not open his voice, the Gu family was not blind, let alone stupid, and he had long felt his alienation and indifference from Qi Jinzhi's words and deeds and attitude.

The two families almost couldn't get married.

Under such circumstances, Gu Jialuo had a lot of resentment in his heart, and he probably didn't know how to face him for a while.

"Alas~" The county lord of Qinghe sighed lightly and said to Gu Jialuo in a soft voice: "Xiang'er, the past has passed. I only know one thing now, you are the eldest grandmother of my Qi family, the wife of our brother Ming Media is marrying, and now it is even more ...... You are a good boy, and you will be grateful for this friendship with the Qi family, whether it is me or Brother Jin'er. ”

The county lord of Qinghe leaned forward, took Gu Jialuo's hand, and said comfortingly: "Xiang'er, don't worry, Brother Jin and I will definitely treat you well in the future!" ”

"Yes, mother, daughter-in-law both understand, I, I will also serve you and uncle wholeheartedly." Gu Jialuo choked in his throat and said a little stiffly.

The main body of Qinghe County patted the back of Gu Jialuo's hand forgivingly, told her about the family, and asked her to go back.

Gu Jialuo returned to the Agarwood Courtyard with a heavy heart, and the two little maids of Huifen and Huixiang had already brought food boxes from the big kitchen.

Ziwei hurriedly stepped forward to serve breakfast, Gu Jialuo had something hidden in his heart, and he didn't have much appetite, so he ate breakfast tastelessly. I just want to organize my thoughts in the room alone, and I don't want someone outside to reply.

"Grandma, there's your visitor outside."

Gu Jialuo was stunned, she had just returned to Qi's house for a few days, why were there visitors? Also, in these years, people who have rules have to submit a worship post before going out to visit, and make sure that the main family is free, and then set a time to come to the door.

It seems that some people are not good.

Gu Jialuo said: "Can you go back to your mother?" ”

Little maid: "I have already communicated to the county lord, and the county lord said that please grandma you are free." ”

Gu Jialuo nodded and said to Xia Zhu, "You go out and see who is coming." ”

Xia Zhu agreed and went out with the little maid. After a while, she came back with a strange look and whispered to Gu Jialuo: "The person who came is a woman in her thirties, she, she said that she is your 'old friend' in Tiejian!" ”
