Chapter 5 The Scholarship of Spending Money
It's been two days since I returned to Gu Mansion, and except for the day I just returned to Gu Mansion, which was more lively, no one came to take care of Gu Qingcheng after that. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even the maidservants in the house saw her and simply saluted and left.
A young lady who has been sent away for many years and suddenly picked it up, in the eyes of the people in the Gu Mansion, Gu Tingcheng is just one more name than the next person. Wang Ma's subordinates who approached the Gu Mansion in the past two days did not get any valuable clues.
Gu Tingcheng thought about it, and finally decided to meet someone, maybe that person would know the purpose of Gu Fu picking her up.
Gu Tingcheng went to the courtyard where the second aunt lived, and if there was only one person in the Gu Mansion who stayed out of the matter, it was only the second aunt. The second aunt does not have a son and a half daughter, so she may be able to know a little rest from her mouth.
The second aunt was very surprised by Gu Tingcheng's sudden visit, after all, there were almost no people in this Gu Mansion who could remember her and come to visit the door.
"This is the flower tea made by the concubine herself, the third lady will taste it and see if it suits your taste."
The second aunt's yard is very quiet, and many precious flowers are planted here. The second aunt likes to take care of these flowers and plants on weekdays and make some simple flower tea.
Gu Tingcheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of flower tea, this is not just a simple flower tea, but a variety of petals. Gu Qingcheng could only taste one or two of them, but he couldn't taste the others.
"I thought that the flower tea I made was already very rare, but when I tasted the flower tea made by my aunt today, I knew what it meant to be original."
"Does the third lady also make her own flower tea?" After listening to Gu Qingcheng's words, the second aunt smiled slightly and asked.
There is some meaning to this, Gu Tingcheng is a young lady who was sent away and exiled, although the second aunt doesn't know where the old lady sent her, but she also knows that the Gu Mansion has ignored her all these years.
Gu Tingcheng can still make his own flower tea in such an environment, which the second aunt doesn't believe it. I'm afraid that Gu Qingcheng came today to know something from her, such as the purpose of Gu Fu to pick her up.
The second aunt's mind was not hidden, and Gu Tingcheng knew that the second aunt would think like this and didn't feel anything. The place in Fenglai Valley is indeed quite difficult.
"It's just a toss when you're idle, it's not as elegant as your aunt's place. Outside, there were only me and Wang's mother, and I still felt a little strange back here.
This time, my grandmother can agree to my return, to be honest, Allure is still very scared, does the second aunt think that grandmother really doesn't care about the past? ”
Gu Tingcheng asked very implicitly, she thought that the second aunt would reveal something somewhat, but after listening to her words, the second aunt put down the tea set in her hand and said to her:
"The third lady chose to ask the concubine for fear that she asked the wrong person, the concubine has long been ignorant of the affairs of the house, and the third lady's question is probably difficult to answer.
However, the concubine can send a sentence to the third lady, in this world, those who hold power can change the lives of others at will. When the third lady has this right in her hands one day, maybe the concubine will give the third miss a little help when she arrives.
If the third lady has nothing else to do, go back first, the concubine should rest at this hour. ”
This is the meaning of the eviction order, Gu Tingcheng stood up and said to the second aunt: "Since the aunt is going to rest, then Allure will go back first." Auntie's meaning, Allure understood, but Allure also sent her aunt a word, Allure waited for the day when her aunt came to me. ”
The second aunt's refusal made Gu Tingcheng know that power is corrosive to people, and no one who has rights will pay attention to you. didn't get any useful news from the second aunt, so Gu Qingcheng could only walk back to his courtyard.
In fact, the second aunt had already given Gu Tingcheng a hint, but Gu Tingcheng's arrogance made her ignore the meaning of the second aunt's words, and when she remembered the second aunt's words again, it was already a different situation.
Why did Gu Fu suddenly take her back? Wouldn't it be even stranger that you can't detect the slightest breath? Gu Tingcheng was still firm in his heart, and the Gu family definitely had some secrets when he took her back. Since Gu Fu couldn't find out the purpose, then go outside. She didn't believe there were no clues out there.
After making up his mind, Gu Qingcheng asked Xiaoru to go to Steward Feng and say that she was going out of the house.
Steward Feng came quickly, and when he heard that Gu Qingcheng was going to leave the house, he immediately arranged a carriage and called four guards to follow.
After the carriage left the Gu Mansion, Gu Qingcheng sat alone in the carriage and pondered.
Wang's mother was called by Steward Feng to help, and this time Xiaoru followed her out of the house.
Even if Miss Gu Fu goes out, she doesn't need to be accompanied by four guards, but coincidentally, she said that Butler Feng was too busy to call Mother Wang. She seemed to be worried about her escape. Yes, I'm afraid that she will run away.
knew that Gu Fu would not be so kind to take her back to Beijing, there must be something that Gu Qingcheng had to do in order to do it. I just don't know what kind of things must be Gu Chengcheng?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingcheng narrowed her eyes, now that she was being watched when she left the house, I am afraid that she would not be able to inquire about any useful news. But Gu Qingcheng wouldn't just sit and wait for others to calculate her.
Gu Tingcheng remembered that when she left the house, Steward Feng told her that if she had something she liked, she could buy it first, and then let the store settle it at Gu's house. Saying this, it is also expected that a young lady who grew up in a village in Gu Chengcheng will not know how to spend money.
Gu Tingcheng was indeed as Steward Feng expected, and when he returned to the mansion, he only settled a few dozen taels of silver, and the things he bought were only the steps and rouge gouache that his daughter's family liked.
Therefore, after Gu Qingcheng reviewed the mansion, Steward Feng didn't pay much attention to it. On the second day, when Gu Qingcheng proposed to leave the mansion again, Steward Feng still arranged a carriage and guards for her.
Before leaving, Gu Tingcheng glanced meaningfully at Steward Feng who had sent her out of the house. As she expected, Steward Feng was still the same as what she said yesterday, and Gu Fu would settle the settlement if she bought something.
Today, Gu Tingcheng just bought a bunch of useless things and came back. It was still only a few dozen taels of silver, and Steward Feng sent it to the elegant courtyard after settlement.
"Miss, why did you buy something you don't need? All these things are allotted to us. ”
After shopping for two days in a row, Gu Tingcheng just bought these and came back, and he didn't find any useful news, so Wang Ma asked a little puzzled. Now there are only her and Gu Qingcheng in the room, and Xiaoru was sent to the kitchen by her.
Yesterday, Wang's mother was originally going to follow the young lady out of the house, but she was called by the housekeeper. She originally thought that there was nothing, but it wasn't until Gu Qingcheng returned home and told her what she thought in her heart that Wang Ma felt that something was wrong.
It is true that over the years, the Gu Mansion has ignored them, and it is a bit too much to say that he suddenly brought them back. When Miss left the house again today, Steward Feng called her to help again, and she was even more sure of Gu Qingcheng's guess.
It's just that this Gu Mansion is no longer the Gu Mansion of eight years ago, and Wang Ma has not given up on inquiring about the news in the past few days since she came back, but she still hasn't heard anything. Wang's mother regretted that she came back with the young lady.
"Don't be afraid, we'll use these things when we buy them. There is no impermeable wall in the world, as long as we can seize the slightest opportunity, we will always know the purpose of the Gu Mansion to bring us back. ”
When Gu Tingcheng said this, she didn't know that someone was on her roof and listened to the conversation between her and Wang's mother. After Gu Qingcheng blew out the lantern and rested, the man left the Gu Mansion and quietly entered the Jingwang Mansion.
On the third day, Gu Tingcheng was about to leave the house again as usual. Before leaving, Gu Qingcheng glanced at the gate of the Gu Mansion with a sneer. Today, the place she is going to is Bai Yuxuan, the most famous in Beijing.
Although these two **** did not find any useful news, Bai Yuxuan inquired about it clearly. First, things are expensive; Second, the background is hard. Gu Tingcheng is going to these two points today.
Because Gu Chengcheng was buying things two days ago, and Steward Feng also settled the payment, the casual guards didn't think it was a big deal, Gu Tingcheng said that the guards didn't think much about going to Bai Yuxuan, so they led her away.
The carriage of the Gu Mansion is still very recognizable, and as soon as Gu Qingcheng arrived at Bai Yuxuan, a guy came over to greet him. The first two days of travel, Gu Qingcheng was not without purpose, although the things she bought were useless and worthless, but she traveled in Gu Fu's carriage, and some people had already heard that she was the third lady that Gu Fu had just picked up.
After Gu Qingcheng entered Bai Yuxuan, he walked around happily, if there is anything that women love the most, it is to visit these jewelry stores and buy them casually. Gu Fu dared to calculate her, she Gu Qingcheng would bury a pit for Gu Fu, and it would be a loss if she didn't give Gu Fu a layer of skin.
The news of Gu Tingcheng's entry into Bai Yuxuan quickly spread to King Jing's Mansion, at this time, Mo Lianqi was playing chess with Xie Qingjun, and after hearing the news from the secret guard, Mo Lianqi suddenly laughed and said, "I see." ”
The chess pieces in his hand then fell, the victory and defeat were divided, and Xie Qing lost.
"Send the news to Long Chen, no matter what Miss Gu buys, the price will be tripled." After winning Xie Qingjun's game, Mo Lianqi ordered to come to humanity. Xie Qingjun was a little puzzled after hearing this,
"Why triple the price? Are you trying to embarrass the third lady? Although at first he wanted to go directly to Gu Qingcheng, but since Mo Lianqi said that this third young lady was beneficial to him, he dispelled this idea.
To talk about Xie Qingjun, there is no blood relationship between him and Mo Lianqi, and he is not a strategist of King Jing's Mansion, he is the second son of the General's Mansion. His acquaintance with Morenqi was mainly due to playing chess.
General Xie has two sons, the eldest son prefers to practice martial arts like General Xie, while the second son prefers scholarly elegance. Of course, if you look at the second son because of this, you will be wrong, the young man in Tsing Yi on the rivers and lakes is Xie Qingjun.
"No, it's Gu Fu that I'm embarrassed about."
As soon as Gu Tingcheng returned to Beijing, he sent people to monitor him. In the past two days, Gu Qingcheng's actions made him a little incomprehensible, and it wasn't until the people under him came that she had entered Bai Yuxuan that Mo Lianqi understood her true intentions.
At the first glance of Gu Qingcheng, Mo Lianqi knew that she would not be at the mercy of anyone. As expected, Gu Tingcheng did dig a big hole for the Gu Mansion. Since that's the case, then he might as well help her dig harder.
Xie Qingjun reacted immediately after hearing this, he looked at Mo Lianqi with a strange expression, he was not the first day of the pit, thinking that he was also pitted by Mo Lianqi at the beginning, but at that time he was not as miserable as the current Gu Mansion. That Miss Gu San was so ruthless as soon as she made a move, is it really that the family doesn't enter the door, although the two of them are still undecided.
