Chapter 027: Happy Cooperation
Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo entered the western room one after the other.
In the room, Ziwei and other big girls had already ordered someone to light the smoke cage in advance, and the tea was ready.
Seeing the two of them coming in, Xia Zhu, Xia Chan and several other second-class maids greeted them one after another, waiting for the two to take off their big sweaters, and serve a bowl of hot ginger tea.
Gu Jialuo held the tea and habitually sat on the left hand side of the big kang near the window.
Qi Jinzhi didn't say anything, took the tea, and sat straight to the other side.
The husband and wife were separated by a kang table, but there was no half-intimate action, and the two of them each held the tea bowl and drank the tea suckingly.
A bowl of hot ginger tea went down to the stomach, a warm current swam from the body, and some cold bodies gradually warmed up, and both of them sighed comfortably.
There is a smoking cage next to the kang, and the charcoal inside is crackling and burning, and people sit in front of them, only feeling warm.
So much so that not long after entering the house, beads of sweat appeared on the two of them, Gu Jialuo directly took off her long jacket outside, and only wore a homely small jacket, with lotus-colored fabrics, which made her skin more and more white and crystalline.
In winter, when it gets dark early, Ziwei takes a mountain-shaped copper candlestick and puts it on the small kang table, and the three candles are swaying, reflecting the corner of this room very brightly.
Gu Jialuo waved his hand and sent all the maids out, leaving only the two of them in the quiet room.
"What the hell is going on?"
Qi Jinzhi didn't take off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on the futon of the big kang, staring at a few jumping flames with his eyes, and asked coldly.
"Uncle, it's been half a month since you came back, and we haven't talked properly yet, have we?"
Gu Jialuo looked at Qi Jinzhi and said softly.
Qi Jinzhi's eyes didn't move, still staring at the candle flame, but his mouth said coldly: "Talk? Hmph, you are so powerful with Grandma Gu, I don't dare to talk to you casually. ”
Gu Jialuo didn't care about Qi Jinzhi's cynicism at all, but said seriously: "Uncle, I know your knot, but whether you believe it or not, I can touch my heart and say that I haven't done anything to be sorry for you and the Qi family." ”
Hearing Gu Jialuo mention this matter, Qi Jinzhi's dead man's coffin face finally had an expression, and he sneered, "Gu Shi, you know what you did in the past, you don't need to swear to me." ”
While speaking, Qi Jinyi took off his two feet, turned his head and squinted at her: "Okay, don't talk this nonsense to me, just tell me what the hell are you talking about when you call me in today?" ”
Gu Jialuo is still not annoyed, with the reminder of the Huo family, what she lacks most now is patience.
Moreover, although 'Gu Jialuo' didn't do that, he did indeed make people 'be' cuckolded.
Qi Jinzhi is a proud person, he has been excellent since he was a child, whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, he is stronger than Qi Qinzhi and Qi Mianzhi's brothers and sons in Dongfu, but he only lost a big ugly thing in his wife.
Later, in order to escape from the Iron Threshold Nunnery, Gu Jialuo even induced some scholars to compile the secrets of the Qi family into jokes and spread them all over the capital.
Even with it, ordinary people also knew that Qi Jinzhi's wife Gu had entered the Iron Threshold Nunnery.
So that when Qi Jinzhi went out, no matter where he went, he could meet the sympathetic or mocking eyes of others.
With such a look, even a loyal, honest and cowardly ordinary man can't stand it, let alone a famous son like Qi Jinzhi who was famous when he was a teenager.
Gu Jialuo tried to review this matter from Qi Jinzhi's point of view, and she found that if she was Qi Jinzhi, she would also want to strangle the 'Gu Jialuo' who made herself a laughing stock.
Thinking like this, Gu Jialuo was a little relieved that Qi Jinzhi had intended to strangle him.
Hooking the corners of his lips, Gu Jialuo continued to say softly: "Okay, let's not mention the past for the time being, since the concubine has decided to come back, she wants to live well with the uncle-"
"Snort~ Come on, Gu Shi, if you didn't marry a good family because your reputation was too bad, you wouldn't come back."
Qi Jinzhi felt that it would be a waste of time to stay any longer, so he jumped down directly from the kang, patted the folds of his clothes, and was about to go out.
This bear child is really not cute, she has begged for peace in such a low voice, and he is still so ruthless.
Gu Jialuo's patience was finally a little overdrawn, and seeing that Qi Jinzhi was about to go out, she blurted out: "Do you know the purpose of Old Lady Jia's trip?" ”
Qi Jinzhi paused at his feet, slowly turned around, and a strange smile appeared on his lips, "Don't pretend?" ”
Saying that, Qi Jinzhi sat down on the kang again, and said mockingly: "It's not enough to talk like this a long time ago, do you have to pretend to be a good wife and mother?" Hmph, Gu, you better give up earlier, you, you're not a good wife at all! ”
also softly put on an open heart to talk, how did Qi Jinzhi feel awkward.
Sure enough, it's a bear child, and he actually cheated himself!
The villain in Gu Jialuo's heart had already picked up the whip, and he really wanted to whip this bear child hard.
Qi Jinzhi was such a 'bear', Gu Jialuo had to give up the idea of having a good talk with Qi Jinzhi, took a deep breath, and said: "Just now in Chunhui Hall, Mrs. Jia wants to give you a second room for your uncle." ”
"Second room?" Qi Jin was stunned, "Who?" Wait, isn't Mo the daughter of the Jia family? “
It's also easy to guess that among the younger generations brought by Mrs. Jia, there is only Jia Shu who has a different surname.
Gu Jialuo raised his eyebrows and said half-jokingly: "Uncle is really amazing, he can even guess this." That's right, it's Miss Jia Jiabiao. ”
Gu Jialuo said while looking at Qi Jinzhi's expression, "Speaking of that Miss Jia, she is really a beauty, she looks good and has a good temperament, even if she is assigned to the eunuch's family as a daughter-in-law." If the uncle has a heart, he might as well kiss him, how about accepting that cousin? ”
Qi Jinzhi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh? Grandma Gu doesn't object? ”
If Gu really didn't care, she wouldn't have asked him to talk solemnly. Hmph, these women are like this, they obviously care tightly in their hearts, but they insist on telling some 'high-sounding' lies.
It's really a dead duck with a hard mouth.
Gu Jialuo was a little embarrassed by his laughter, and shouted angrily: "What if I object?" What if you don't object? Uncle, will you listen to me? ”
Qi Jinzhi simply shook his head and spit out a word that made Gu Jialuo even more annoyed: "No!" ”
Rely on it, this bear child, and let people chat unpleasantly?!
Gu Jialuo's black face was like constipation, but it pleased Qi Jinzhi, and he laughed out loud, "Grandma Gu, you are very self-aware." However, don't worry, no matter how good-looking Miss Jia Jiabiao is, it has nothing to do with me. ”
Qi Jinzhi gradually retracted his smile, stretched out a finger, and shook it in front of Gu Jialuo: "In the past few years, I will not take concubines, nor will I have maids, let alone any concubines." ”
The title of the family is gone, and when the southwest is in turmoil, Qi Jinzhi set a goal for himself, and in the next ten years, he will work hard to restore the glory of the family as soon as possible.
As for what heirs and concubines are, they are not in his consideration.
Another point, although Qi Jinzhi dislikes Gu Jialuo in various ways, he understands that Gu Jialuo, the eldest grandmother of the Qi family, is beneficial and harmless to him and the Qi family.
These days, he has been thinking about it repeatedly, and feels that his mother's words are reasonable, as long as Gu Jialuo abides by his duty and honestly does a good job as the grandmother of the Qi family, he is also willing to give her the dignity that his wife deserves.
Maintain her face in front of people, and don't do anything that hinders the 'relationship between husband and wife' behind her back.
As for the two of them having no feelings and being strangers, this is also easy to do, and when the time is ripe, they will choose an appropriate day and leave.
It is estimated that Gu Jialuo does not have much attachment to him.
Now that they want to be a normal couple, it is impossible for them to be a normal couple, so simply be a pair of mutually beneficial partners.
Gu Jialuo wanted to use the Qi family to brush up his reputation, and Qi Jinzhi wanted to use the connections of the Gu family and the Feng family to revive the family business, and the two traded fairly, and no one owed anyone.
Gu Jialuo just didn't know Qi Jinzhi's thoughts, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Really? "Is he really willing to protect the face of her and the Gu family?
"Seriously." Qi Jinzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled again, "However, don't be sentimental. I don't take a concubine not for you, but because I don't want to for the time being. ”
It doesn't matter if you want to or not, as long as you don't do things that make me shameless.
Gu Jialuo rolled his eyes secretly, but said in his mouth: "Don't worry, the concubine has no strengths, but she is self-aware." ”
Qi Jinzhi saw that the business had been finished, and he didn't delay any longer, he got off the kang directly, stretched his waist, and before going out, he whispered again: "It's good to have self-knowledge, I hope you can clearly understand what to do and what not to do!" ”
Gu Jialuo seemed to understand the meaning of Qi Jin's words, she sighed lightly, and replied pretending to be a self-muttering sentence, "If you give me the dignity that a wife should have, I will give you back a good wife who is a 'husband' and godson." ”
Gu Jialuo deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word 'Xiangfu', indicating that she was willing to borrow the power of her mother's family and foreign families to assist Qi Jinzhi to re-enter the officialdom.
Good, very good! Qi Jinzhi understood Gu Jialuo's hint and nodded with satisfaction, but he still disdainfully 'hummed', directly lifted the curtain and walked out of the west room, striding towards the east wing.
Hearing Qi Jinzhi's 'hum', Gu Jialuo knew that he had agreed with his own construction.
It seems that Qi Jinzhi is not just an awkward bear child, at least he knows how to weigh the pros and cons.
In this way, they will be a pair of trading partners who cooperate on an equal footing and are mutually beneficial.
"Grandma, are you alright?"
Ziwei and the other maids were sent out, and when they saw Qi Jinzhi walking away under the corridor, they couldn't help but worry, and hurriedly entered the west room, and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay," finally reached an agreement with Qi Jinzhi, Gu Jialuo suddenly felt relaxed, and she even had the leisure to care about others, "By the way, have you been missing the few flavors of medicine I ordered you to find recently?" ”
