033: Backstage
When the old lady sent by the palace said that she was teaching Jiang Nu etiquette, Jiang Nu suddenly realized that her etiquette was really more than one step higher than Jiu Niang's.
At the beginning, Jiuniang just found the Chenwang Mansion as a guest, but those etiquette, customs, clothes and the like were still relatively commoner. But Jiang Nu, since the first half of the month, has been coming to various high-grade and status.
The clothes are Linglong Embroidery Workshop was ordered by the emperor, and all orders were postponed within three days, and the dress was specially made for Jiang Nu. The Linglong girl alone came to the door more than three times, which can be regarded as giving the ginger girl enough face.
And the old lady who taught Jiang Nu etiquette, Jiu Niang originally thought that she was just here to make a show, who knew how strict people were in charge. Jiuniang went to take a look a few times, but was left behind by Mama and forced Jiuniang to learn etiquette as well.
Finally, Gu Huacheng rescued Jiu Niang from Jiang Nu, and began to count Jiu Niang: "Okay, what are you doing there?" ”
Jiu Niang smiled wryly: "Curious, curious." Gu Huacheng nodded her head helplessly, and Jiu Niang hugged Gu Huacheng's arm a little coquettishly, looking up and smiling like a cat, "Master......"
"Huh?" Gu Huacheng was tickled by Jiu Niang's soft voice, looked down at Jiu Niang, and reached out to hug Jiu Niang into his arms.
Jiuniang struggled for a moment, and looked at Gu Huacheng helplessly: "Master, will we be too high-profile now?" ”
"What I'm afraid of now is not to be high-profile." Gu Huacheng snorted coldly, looked at Jiu Niang and asked, "I'll go out with you?" ”
"What's a good day out?" Jiuniang was surprised.
Gu Huacheng lowered his head and took a bite on Jiu Niang's face, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Go to the Qinglou." ”
Jiuniang twitched the corners of her mouth, looked at Gu Huacheng in disbelief, and muttered: "Visiting the Qinglou?" ”
"You haven't seen Hu Die since you came back from Xiahe Village, haven't you? Now Hu Die is afraid that he is still the same as you a few days ago, and he may not have scolded me many times in his heart. Gu Huacheng smiled, "What's the matter, you have to give me a good name, don't you?" ”
"You still need to be corrected?" Jiuniang pouted.
But he didn't ask anything, and went back to his room to change into a moon-white robe. took a purse and came out, and went out with Gu Huacheng.
Fenghualou originally had no business during the day, but when Gu Huacheng and Jiuniang arrived at Fenghualou, they were frightened by the lively scene at the entrance of Fenghualou.
I have never heard of a Qinglou that can have so much business during the day, Jiu Niang frowned and pulled Gu Huacheng a little hesitantly. Before the two of them could react, Qing'er, who was standing at the door of Fenghualou receiving guests, had already seen the two of them.
Qing'er walked over in the clothes of a very good woman and looked at Jiu Niang and smiled: "Mrs. Gu is wearing light clothes today, but you can still make people see at a glance that you don't look like you're here to have fun, let's enter through the back door." I told Sister Butterfly to go. ”
Jiuniang stretched out her hand and grabbed Qing'er: "What's going on?" ”
Qing'er smiled and pulled out her arm from Jiu Niang's hand and smiled: "Madame, won't you be able to see Sister Die?" What's the matter, wouldn't it be better for Madame to ask my sister personally? ”
Jiuniang opened her mouth and turned her head to look at Gu Huacheng, but saw a flash of appreciation in Gu Huacheng's eyes. Jiu Niang frowned, stretched out her hand and pinched Gu Huacheng: "Did you already know something?" ”
"Lady, don't wronged me, I'm just like you, just came today." Gu Huacheng wailed.
As soon as the two of them entered through the back door, they felt that Fenghualou was a little different.
Once upon a time. It's not like I haven't been here at night......
At that time, there were many guests, and it was not easy to find a place to talk quietly, and the noise made people feel bored in their hearts. But now. Obviously, there are a lot of people coming, but the courtyard is still very quiet, and you can vaguely hear the sound of silk and bamboo music in front of you.
Jiuniang couldn't help but glance at Gu Huacheng again.
Gu Huacheng waved his hand: "Don't look at me honestly, this matter has nothing to do with me." You look like I'm behind this. ”
"How ugly it is to hear the mastermind behind the scenes, at most he is a planner." Hu Die walked over from the front hall with a smile, looked at Jiuniang who was holding Gu Huacheng's arm and smiled. "Finally reconciled?"
Jiuniang looked at Hu Die and then at Gu Huacheng and frowned: "How can it be that you all know about it and keep me in the dark?" ”
Gu Huacheng spread his hands noncommittally.
Hu Die smiled and glanced at Gu Huacheng: "Hua'er and I went to my house to talk, and the prince was waiting for you in Qing'er's room, so you don't need me to lead the way, right?" ”
"No need, thank you." Gu Huacheng hugged his fists at Hu Die, turned around and left.
Jiuniang looked at Hu Die suspiciously.
Hu Die smiled: "Let's go, let's go into the house." ”
entered the house, but Hu Die was busy serving snacks and making tea for Jiuniang.
Jiuniang hurriedly held down Hu Die: "Hu Die, don't be busy, just tell me what's going on?" Gu Huacheng said to me that he was worried that you still had a misunderstanding about him, so he brought me to Fenghualou, why do you think you don't have any misunderstanding about him at all? ”
Hu Die looked at Jiuniang with a smile, and shook his head for a while: "You are a well-protected person, and you don't want to think about anything." In fact, when I was in Xiahe Village, I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't have time to think about it at that time. For so many years, Gu Hua has treated you without me, you are not stupid, and you can feel it. Meng Youcai, even if Gu Huacheng doesn't understand it anymore, he should have seen Meng Youcai's approach and temperament in the past few years, so ...... Gu Huacheng upset you for Meng Youcai, I think it's completely unnecessary. After I came back, I asked Qing'er to inquire about Sifangzhai in the past two days, who knew that as soon as Qing'er heard that I was inquiring about Sifangzhai, he took out a letter from Prince Chen. Only then did I understand that the backer behind the Sifang Zhai was only afraid of ......"
Jiuniang nodded: "I know this." ”
"Yo, I thought you could be stupid all the way." Hu Die smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Hua'er, I think Gu Huacheng's proposal is very good now." ”
"What proposal?" Jiuniang frowned.
"Instead." Hu Die smiled, put down the teacup, walked to the door and opened the door, leaned on the door frame, and looked at Jiuniang with all kinds of charm, "What do you think of me?" ”
"......" Jiuniang twitched the corners of her mouth, "Hu Die, you drink tea, not wine, what are you crazy about?" ”
"It's boring." Hu Die glanced at Jiu Niang, "Don't you think I'm a woman who deserves to be the first beauty in the Qinglou?" ”
“…… Okay, I admit that you do look ......" Jiu Niang twitched the corners of her mouth, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Hu Die.
Hu Die looked at Jiuniang, a little transparent after the vicissitudes of life: "When people get old, there will be more beautiful girls coming up, do you think our grandmother in Fenghualou was not a generation of beauties in the past?" ”
Jiu Niang was noncommittal.
Hu Die continued: "Today's Fenghualou relies on me, and the thousands of red caves with your wine, so that it has a certain status in this fireworks willow lane. But flowers, you should know, if ...... We simply don't have much of a chance of winning. But what if...... When I became a grandmother, it was different. ”
"What's the difference?" Jiuniang frowned, a little puzzled.
"Leaving at the most splendid time, retreating into the background, do you think it is the practice of smart people?" Hu Die looked at Jiuniang and nodded, before continuing, "So, I'm not a red girl, hold Qing'er up, and then change the practice of Fenghualou." Since those buildings like to have fun at night, then I will be elegant during the day, anyway, they are the same thing at night, it depends on those benefactors like that girl, this is nothing to earn. ”
Jiuniang understood, in the final analysis, Hu Die just planned to change the war strategy and make Fenghualou invincible. It's just that Jiu Niang thought of something else, took a few steps forward, pulled Hu Die into the house, and carefully closed the door, looking at Hu Die a little hesitant: "You do this, your original grandmother ......"
"What was the original mama, and now it's also mama." Hu Die smiled.
"Okay, you grandma didn't object?" Jiu Niang asked.
Hu Die pursed her lips: "She is happy if she has silver, what is there to oppose." ”
Jiuniang pursed her lips again: "I thought it was forced by Lord Chen." ”
Hu Die glanced at Jiuniang and chuckled: "What you want to say, just say it directly, don't be so rambling, this is not like you." ”
Jiu Niang smiled: "You guys here, in fact, you still plan to make Chengchen Wangye's eyeliner, right?" ”
"Don't say it so ugly." Hu Die glared at Jiu Niang, but he also admitted this role.
Jiuniang couldn't help but be curious: "What do you think Prince Chen thinks?" ”
Hu Die couldn't help but reach out and slap Jiu Niang: "What are you having in your head!" At this time, it is naturally not what the prince thinks, but what the one above thinks. ”
"You mean the emperor?" Jiuniang was stunned and nodded, "Yes, it's time for this...... I don't know if the people behind the Quartet are the ...... of the Jin Kingdom."
"Whether it's going to be a big change or not. The background of Sifang Zhai has been in Yecheng for so many years. There's a lot going on here. Hu Die sighed and asked again, "How is Jiang Nu?" ”
"I don't dare to look at it these days, every time I get closer, that nurturing grandmother will think that I am not good here, that is not good, and has to pull me to learn those etiquette together. I can't stand it. Jiuniang lay on the table, a little bored, "Hu Die, you're very busy now, right?" Then you can't get tired? ”
"Not tired." Hu Die smiled, "Hua'er, I know what you want to ask, do you think you still can't understand my choice?" ”
"No, I only understand now that what suits you is the most important thing, since you have chosen, I will naturally support you." Jiu Niang smiled.
Hu Die held Jiu Niang's hand, and just as she was about to speak, the door was slammed open by a little girl.
The little girl still had mottled tears on her face, and looked at Hu Die pitifully. (To be continued......)
