106 Boredom
To say that after entering the Rui Wang's Mansion, what made Gu Qingwan feel most frustrated was not Zheng Rui, who was like kraft candy, nor was it Zou Simin, an inexplicable troublesome character in the mansion, but this white cat named "Xue Tuan".
Such a Persian cat is considered a tribute nowadays, but Gu Qingwan has seen a lot of it before, but she has never seen such a temperamental cat.
This cat was previously raised by the two maids named Shunxi and Shuangxi, except for these two maids and Zheng Rui who fed them personally, the food fed by others did not touch for a moment.
Gu Qingwan also asked Hongjin and Biliu to take care of the snow ball, but seeing that it had no effect, and she couldn't let Zheng Rui take care of the cat all day, she took the initiative to send the snow ball to the yard where Zou Simin was. This cat is said to be raised by Zheng Rui, but when Zheng Rui's yard was in Jingwang's Mansion, Zou Simin was taking care of it, so it was better to say that it was raised by Zou Simin.
The inner house of King Rui's Mansion is separated by several gardens, and the Cui Garden, where Gu Qingwan is located, and the Plum Garden, where Zou Simin is located, are the farthest apart. Although the snow group was sent to the plum garden, it actually used the garden as a place to play, and came to the garden to play during the day, and always asked someone from the plum garden to find it back.
I also know that this is deliberately done by Zou Simin, after all, in the past two months, Zou Simin has personally come to look for the snow group, and he happened to meet Zheng Rui six times.
In fact, what puzzled Gu Qingwan the most was Zou Simin's attitude, for Zheng Rui, who was mentally incomplete, pity for the fragrance and jade was a non-existent thing at all. Zou Simin met again and again, which made her feel very strange.
But she didn't have much to care about Zou Simin, if she wanted to make trouble, she would let her make trouble, and she wouldn't make much waves. Besides, after the weather warmed up, Zheng Rui often went out of the house to ride horses in the suburbs of Beijing, and the casual guard was Du Jing, whom Gu Qingwan had met before.
This Du Jing was given to Zheng Rui by Prince Jing, although he was not smiling, he was very good at his skills, so even if Zheng Rui's riding skills were not very good, Gu Qingwan was still very relieved.
Just out of April. The people who went out to inquire about the news returned to the Ruiwang Mansion. is the same as Gu Qingwan thought, most of the Wen Po who delivered the baby for Xiao Sun's family back then were not from the Jingzhong family, Gu Qingyan and Gu Cunzhang were one year old. The two stable women left Beijing. The neighbors were a little impressed, and they all said that they had returned to their hometown.
But whether he returned to his hometown or was taken care of halfway is unknown. Later, Gu Qingwan still sent someone to the hometown of the two Wen Po to secretly investigate, but she didn't find any news, but the Wen Po surnamed Huang went back to her hometown more than ten years ago, and she didn't know where to go after that.
Gu Qingwan was about to ask someone to follow this line to check, but Peng finally couldn't stand it. asked to see Gu Qingwan a few more times, and then spit out all the news that she knew.
It turned out that Mama Ji suspected that Xiao Sun and Gu Mingli had a relationship, so she naturally paid attention to the two stable women invited by the Gu family, and slowly had a little friendship with the stable woman surnamed Huang.
Xiao Sun was lucky to be pregnant with twins back then, but not many people suspected that her month was wrong, and the same was naturally true for the two stable mothers. But they have been doing this for many years, and their eyes are also poisonous, and when the child is born, there is something wrong with the situation.
Although the two of them pretended not to know anything, who knew how the Gu family would deal with them? The Wen Po surnamed Huang moved her mind, and Mama Ji helped them easily. Naturally, I also inquired about what other people didn't know.
It turned out that the Wen mother-in-law's family surnamed Huang was a person from Qiaoxi, and the surname "Huang" was also the surname of her husband's family. She was sold to Beijing when she was a child, and she became a little maid in a large family, and when she was older, she was sent out of the house to be matched. Huang's maiden name is Jiao, but she is in Shu.
The other Wen Po had no news for a long time, so she could only go to Shu to investigate the situation.
This line went well, probably because the Wen Po surnamed Huang didn't expect that someone would find Shu for the sake of old things, and the family settled in Shu. The person sent by Gu Qingwan also took a lot of effort to find out about this person.
The Huang family knew that someone wanted to check the old things of the year, and they were naturally scared enough. It's just that they have no choice under the power, so they can only follow the people to Beijing. Gu Qingwan only asked Hongjin to appease her, and promised that she would never hurt her net worth, so Wen Po did not resist as much as before.
On the eighth day of the Buddha Bathing Festival, the eldest lady sent someone to send a post in advance, asking Gu Qingwan to accompany Mrs. Gu to Jingguo Temple to offer incense that day.
Old Madam Gu is still very keen on such things. I heard that Mrs. Gu also discussed with several old ladies in the house, and pooled the money to renovate the somewhat dilapidated temples of Jingguo Temple, and then rebuild the golden body of the Bodhisattva in the main hall.
Old Madam Gu also sent someone to pass the word, as if she wanted Gu Qingwan to get together. Anyway, in her impression, Gu Qingwan has a lot of dowries, and now that she is Princess Rui, there must be a lot of rewards in the palace.
Every time Gu Qingwan thought of this, she felt very frustrated.
She has a lot of money, but she always feels very uneasy when she spends it. Most of the dowries were left by the He family to the three girls, although the palace looked beautiful on the surface, but everything was not something she could completely sell. What she can spend with peace of mind is only the share of the dowry given to her by the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Now that Old Madam Gu still wants to hit her with her idea, Gu Qingwan also feels that it is time to collect some interest on Old Madam Gu and Xiao Sun.
Jingguo Temple is on the outskirts of Beijing, and it takes half a day just to drive back and forth, Gu Qingwan deliberately went to bed early the day before, so she woke up before dawn.
It was Dongzhu who kept watch in the middle of the night yesterday, Gu Qingwan opened the tent, there was no light outside, presumably Dongzhu hadn't woken up yet.
Speaking of the two maids sent by Princess Huihe, Dongzhu and Nanyu, they are indeed beautiful embryos, compared to the deep-minded Nanyu, Dongzhu behaves like a child who is ignorant of the world, and it really has its own characteristics. Because it was the person sent by Princess Huihe, the people in this mansion were very polite to her, that is, Gu Qingwan was a little more tolerant of Dongzhu than others.
After the untimely death of the former crown prince, Queen Chen only has a child like Princess Huihe, although she is very good to Prince Jing and Zheng Rui now, but she can be said to be conniving with Princess Huihe. Princess Huihe was originally a pungent character, but now she is even more wanton.
Let's just say that two months ago, the eldest horse brought an outer room back to the Marquis Mansion of Jinxiang and wanted to accept this outer room as a concubine.
Although Princess Huihe gave birth to a son and a daughter for the eldest concubine, these two children were raised by Princess Huihe in the princess's mansion, and the old marquis and the old lady did not see them several times a month. Since Princess Huihe did not let them see their grandchildren, they thought of taking concubines for their sons and raising their descendants under their knees.
The concubine always had to give tea to the main mother, but she didn't expect Princess Huihe to not only sweep the concubine out of the house that day, but also rushed to the Jinxiang Marquis Mansion to beat people up and sell them.
This matter is quite a big trouble, but the most embarrassing thing is that Queen Chen reprimanded Princess Huihe, in exchange for the forbearance of the Marquis of Jinxiang, the emperor and queen are all protected, and there is nothing to be done about being a courtier.
Gu Qingwan admires Princess Huihe's toughness very much, if it falls into modern times, she will naturally be a good person, but this era makes people look a little sidewaysβͺ Princess Huihe, the style of the three girls of the Gu family is simply a small fight.
Such a princess of Huihe, Gu Qingwan doesn't want to have a hard time with her, so as long as Dongzhu doesn't cross her bottom line, she can still tolerate it.
Besides, the two maids sent by Huihe and Princess have already done a division of labor. Dongzhu is ignorant of the world and has a straight temper, while Nanyu is empathetic, gentle and generous, so when Dongzhu is too much, Nanyu will always remind him in a timely manner.
Gu Qingwan just watched them sing double reeds and didn't pay attention to them.
The movement of getting up did not wake up Dongzhu outside, but Zheng Rui woke up and sat up with a bang: "It's not dawn yet!" β
Gu Qingwan turned around and patted Zheng Rui's head and said, "I know that I said, didn't I tell you yesterday, today is the Buddha Bathing Festival, the old lady gave me a post, I want to go to Jingguo Temple." β
She has been with Zheng Rui for more than two months, and she has slowly gotten used to having one more person around her, and she has long lost her previous restraints. Gu Qingwan saw that Zheng Rui didn't seem to react, and said with a smile: "We said last night, if you don't go today, you can't regret it." β
I don't know what Zheng Rui muttered, Gu Qingwan lit the lamp, and Zheng Rui looked at her back in a daze.
When Gu Qingwan came over after getting dressed, she saw that Zheng Rui was still sitting.
Thinking of the interest she was going to get today, Gu Qingwan was in a surprisingly good mood. Seeing that Zheng Rui was only staring at him stupidly, he laughed out loud: "The maid who is keeping vigil outside is Dongzhu, if you don't want her to come in, you should pretend to sleep." When I call Guiye or Baodian to come in and replace her, you can get up again. β
Zheng Rui turned his head and was about to say something, when the lights outside turned on, and there was the sound of shoes mopping the floor and Dongzhu's hurried voice: "The prince and the princess have gotten up, and the slaves and maids have come in to serve the prince." β
Zheng Rui's face turned white, he even forgot what he was going to say before, and he closed his eyes when he lay down again.
Gu Qingwan laughed out loud.
Dongzhu really came in quickly, and there were two little maids with hot water waiting outside the curtain, and they looked towards the bed as soon as they came in. Seeing that Zheng Rui hadn't woken up yet, the expression on his face was a little disappointed: "Isn't the princess going to Jingguo Temple to offer incense today?" β
Zheng Rui turned his head and was about to say something, when the lights outside turned on, and there was the sound of shoes mopping the floor and Dongzhu's hurried voice: "The prince and the princess have gotten up, and the slaves and maids have come in to serve the prince." β
Zheng Rui's face turned white, he even forgot what he was going to say before, and he closed his eyes when he lay down again.
Gu Qingwan laughed out loud. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
