Chapter 230: Soul Question

It is easy to find a good housekeeper.

Gu Qing glanced at Steward Xu appreciatively, sure enough, the older a person gets, the more refined he becomes, this eyesight and this eloquence are simply amazing.

Seeing that Zhang Huaiyu was ashamed of herself, Gu Qing coughed twice, and said with a straight face: "Steward Xu, don't scream, I am still nameless with her, don't ruin the girl's reputation......"

Steward Xu smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Qing's gaze with a little gratitude, and thanked him for relieving himself.

Who knew that Gu Qing immediately added: "...... In two months, I will call Mrs. Hou Ye, probably eight or nine will not leave ten, Steward Xu, you are early. ”

Steward Xu suddenly smiled so that the old folds on his face bloomed like chrysanthemums, and he nodded again and again: "It doesn't matter if you call it earlier, a heroic young man like Lord Hou, the official and the lord are extremely favored and talented, and the lady must have a thousand hearts in her heart." ”

Gu Qing Dayue patted Steward Xu on the shoulder and said, "The housekeeper is too good at chatting, go back to the account room to pay two yuan, and I will reward you." ”

Steward Xu smiled happily and thanked him again and again.

Zhang Huaiyu's silver teeth were crushed, if it weren't for Gu Qing's subordinates and personal guards, he couldn't bear to brush his majesty, Gu Qing at this moment would probably be a third-level disability.

Fortunately, Gu Qing is not the kind of person who makes inferior jokes, he knows that the reputation of women in this era is very important, and it will be too much to make jokes any longer, so he decisively shut up.

The guards and subordinates lined up in front of the Gu Mansion Gate and saluted together.

Zhang Huaiyu looked up at the plaque with gold characters on the black background on the lintel of Gu's mansion, which read "Qingcheng County Houfu", Zhang Huaiyu sighed: "It's only been a long time, and it's been a marquis......"

Turning his head to look at him, Zhang Huaiyu said softly: "Others have only seen you prosperous, but they probably didn't think about how hard and dangerous you have been along the way." ”

Gu Qing's heart warmed, and he smiled: "No matter how dangerous it is, you are by my side and share good and woe with me." This is more important than promotion and knighthood. ”

Zhang Huaiyu smiled sweetly, and immediately replied to his indifferent look.

Gu Qing led her into the door of the mansion and took her to visit her house from beginning to end.

Gu Qing's house seemed a little small, but Zhang Huaiyu didn't mind, and after looking around the interior and exterior of the mansion with great interest, his face showed satisfaction.

Waving off Han Jie and Steward Xu, Gu Qing walked to the stone bench in the backyard garden and sat down.

Zhang Huaiyu straightened his slightly messy sideburns and said, "I have heard about you in Chang'an, in order to save the Son of Heaven, you were in the middle of a mountain fire, were you injured?" ”

Gu Qing shook his head: "You know my ability, only fate can hurt me...... Hey, that's a wonderful sentence, write it down! ”

Zhang Huaiyu glanced at him and said, "It's getting more and more out of shape...... It feels like you've changed a lot. ”

Gu Qing couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart.

I am most afraid of hearing three sentences in life, one is that an acquaintance asks you if you have been tight recently, the second is that the police ask you what your relationship is with the woman in the same room and what her name is, and the third is that the lover says that you have changed.

"I haven't changed! I still have a pure heart. Gu Qing was categorical.

Zhang Huaiyu smiled: "What are you nervous about, I mean, you have become more cheerful than before, and the smile on your face is much more real than before, in fact...... I prefer the way you are now. ”

I haven't seen her for half a year, Gu Qing felt that her EQ was much higher than before, and looked at her affectionately and said, "No, you should say, 'I like every look you have'......"

Zhang Huaiyu's face turned blue, and his small mouth opened and closed, as if he was ...... Want to throw up?

Gu Qing was very dissatisfied with her reaction, what do you mean? Isn't the earthy love story not in place? It's just like the last petal rain.

was hesitating to go to the warehouse to move a box of silver cakes as a token of love to remedy it, Zhang Huaiyu had already shook his head and sighed: "Gu Qing, talk well, don't spoil the atmosphere, I haven't seen you for so long, I have a lot to say to you, you ...... Normal point. ”

"You say, I'll listen."

Zhang Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "After my father came to Chang'an, the second ancestor Weng talked to him about you, but he seemed to be quite cold to you, and today you contradicted you...... After that 'mother', he must have been even more dissatisfied with you. Recently, you should not go to the Second Ancestor Weng's mansion, lest you conflict with them. ”

Speaking of the "mother", Zhang Huaiyu accentuated his tone, with a somewhat mocking expression.

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "No, I still want to formally propose to them, how can I avoid it?" ”

Zhang Huaiyuqiao's face flushed, turned his head and said: "What do you mention, you live your life first, and I will still go back to Shiqiao Village in a few days, there are two children in the village school who seem to be quite talented in reading, and after Mr. taught for a few days, those two children have understood and can draw inferences." I plan to focus on cultivating them, and let them participate in scientific research in a few years, if they can get ahead, they will be a big help to you in the future. ”

Gu Qing said: "Don't change the topic, I plan to propose to your father, do you have any opinions?" ”

Zhang Huaiyu blushed and said, "If they are dissatisfied with you, do you think there is any hope for proposing?" Gu Qing, I'm ...... Who I want to marry, I don't need my father's consent, even if he kicks me out of the Zhang family now, I have nothing to be reluctant to, and it doesn't matter if I mention my relatives or not. ”

Gu Qing shook his head: "It's very important, I don't want you to leave regrets in the future, without the life of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, you can't be justified in front of outsiders, and if your name is not right for the rest of your life, I will harm your reputation." ”

Zhang Huaiyu hung his head and was silent for a long time, sniffed, and said with a smile: "You are the person who cares about me the most except Huaijin." Gu Qing, I am suddenly so glad that I resolutely ran away from home back then, and I am even more glad that I went to Shuzhou and met you......"

Gu Qing suddenly had a sense of crisis in her heart, why did she talk more about her love than me? Moreover, there seems to be something wrong with this love sentence...... Why did Zhang Huaijin come out?

So, I can't compare to Zhang Huaijin's care about her?

"Zhang Huaijin and I fell into the water, who will you save first?" Gu Qing coldly asked the soul question that made countless people cry out to the sky and hit their heads against the wall in their previous lives.

Zhang Huaiyu was really stunned, this question ...... It's heartbreaking.

"First, save you...... Right? Zhang Huaiyu said hesitantly: "Huaijin seems to be able to swim." ”

Then Zhang Huaiyu suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and said, "Slow, why did you fall into the water with Huaijin?" ”

Gu Qing was dumbfounded.

This is another soul question, I didn't expect Zhang Huaiyu, an ancient woman, to be self-taught, well, she planted herself in a pit.

"It's just a stumbling boy, she's a stumbling girl, she often walks by the river, how can she not fall into the water, normal operation." Gu Qing's face did not change his color.

Zhang Huaiyu glanced at him, his eyes were very sharp, full of domineering spirit.

Gu Qing continued to ask without giving up: "My father and I fell into the water, who do you save first?" ”

"Save you first, my father will swim too." Zhang Huaiyu replied without thinking twice this time.

The answer made Gu Qing not very satisfied, because it was not sweet, and he seemed to be a useless burden.

Zhang Huaiyu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The questions you ask are all strange, what do you think about on weekdays?" ”

Gu Qing said with a straight face: "Don't be happy too early, the question is not over yet, why don't you ask me, for example, if you and your sister fall into the dung pit, who will I save first?" ”

Zhang Huaiyu's expression changed immediately, and he said with a blue face: "Why did you fall into the water, but Huaijin and I fell into the dung pit?" Such a disgusting question, do you want to die? ”

"For example, can't you afford to play?"

Zhang Huaiyu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Huaijin and I fell into the ...... Falling into a dung pit, who do you save first? ”

Gu Qing laughed: "I chose to be widowed and mourn my sister-in-law, fished out of the dung pit, and I can't wash it." ”

After speaking, Gu Qing immediately held his head in his hands and endured the stormy punches and kicks.

Painful and happy, so happy, won a game.

…………

At noon the next day, Gu Qing stretched his waist and got up, yawned and finished washing under the service of the maid, and was about to go out to find Zhang Huaiyu to visit the East Market, when Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing came.

The three of them chatted in the courtyard, and Hao Donglai carefully mentioned that yesterday evening, there were people in the three silk villages in Dongshi who made trouble, causing countless passers-by in Chang'an to watch and coax, but the owners behind the three silk villages were the Zhang family.

Gu Qing was stunned: "Which Zhang family?" ”

"Honglu Siqing, and the Hou Ye is the Zhang family who are friends in the world, but I heard that it has nothing to do with Honglu Siqing, the owner of the three silk villages is actually the business of the virtuous minister Zhang Jiuling, uh, the current owner is the father of Miss Zhang Huaiyu......"

Gu Qing frowned: "Zhang Zheng's family?" ”

Hao Donglai explained: "Thanks to the blessing of the prosperous era, now the magnates and officials of the Tang Dynasty are all doing business, from the prince to the prince, to the county commander, and most of the people in the family who have extra money are involved in the business, although the prime minister Zhang Jiuling has a good name, but the Zhang family is huge, and there is naturally an industry in the family, after the death of the virtuous minister, the master was taken over by Zhang Jiuling's only son......"

Gu Qing suddenly realized, it was not clear why Zhang Zheng and his wife suddenly came to Chang'an, it was not a New Year's Day, it was neither a debriefing nor a family visit, I am afraid that the matter of Dongshi was the main reason for them to return to Chang'an.

It turned out that there was an accident in the family's industry, and the trouble in the silk village should have been brewing for a long time, obviously Zhang Zheng personally returned to Chang'an and failed to solve the matter, but broke out.

Gu Qing asked, "Did those three silk villages offend anyone?" ”

Hao Donglai said embarrassedly: "This ...... The villain is not very clear, without the command of the Hou Ye, the villain does not dare to inquire about these irrelevant things privately. ”

Gu Qing snorted and said, "You have a firm foothold in Dongshi now, so let's go and inquire today, after all, it's the Huaiyu family's business." ”

Hao Donglai said cautiously: "Master Hou, let the villain ask a lot, is our future Mrs. Hou Miss Zhang Huaiyu, or the girl Zhang Huaijin who often comes to the mansion?" ”

Gu Qing asked rhetorically, "Who do you think is suitable to be Mrs. Hou?" ”

Hao Donglai laughed dryly, and after looking around sneakily, he said softly: "The villain thinks that Miss Zhang Huaiyu is dignified, dignified and virtuous, and has the style of a housewife, which is a good match for the Hou Ye...... However, Hou Ye is already an adult man, and adult men never make choices, and the matter of sisters serving a husband is not uncommon in my Tang Dynasty, which is not surprising, Hou Ye may wish to think about it or two. ”

Gu Qing only felt a warm surge in his nasal cavity.

The picture is so beautiful that the two virgins really can't stand this topic......
