Chapter Ninety-Six

Childe, the future is bright, and when he climbed one step higher, he found that His Majesty did not have any substantial reward, but only praised him verbally.

Not long after he came back, no one knows what happened to him in the three years outside the gate, but the sons and brothers who played well with him in the past have found that he has changed a lot, and he is always indifferent to people, with a serious and cold appearance, Xu is the army is like this, but what he can't figure out is why he became so alienated from this princess?

However, everyone is only guessing from the aspect of "the child is older", after all, three years ago, when Gu Nantian left Nandu, everyone was not so knowledgeable and sensible, including him, it was the same.

It's just such a small word "good", but Xiao Jingyi seemed to have obtained some precious jewels in the world, with a sweet smile and bent her eyebrows, regardless of his alienation from herself just now, she grabbed the arm of the man in front of her and said, "Brother Nan, next month will be my birthday,"

Gu Nantian may have been because of Xiao Jingyi's sudden approach, and subconsciously glanced at the hand holding his arm by the woman next to him with defensive eyes, but in the end he didn't say anything, let her hold herself, and said, "I know," the tone was still light.

Xiao Jingyi looked at Gu Nantian's eyes full of longing and expectation, and said, "What gift are you going to give me?" "I'm looking forward to him saying something different.

However, it was disappointing that Gu Nantian did not speak, Xiao Jingyi probably didn't want the atmosphere to be too embarrassing, and then continued to say to himself, "I don't want anything else, I just want Brother Nan to stay in Nandu all the time, just stay by my side," Xiao Jingyi said and unconsciously leaned on Gu Nantian's body, it was the person he was familiar with, but why did he suddenly change his appearance towards himself?

Xiao Jingyi is also full of incomprehension and deep doubts, but it doesn't matter.

Yes, it doesn't matter, she's always comforted herself. As long as it's Gu Nantian, it doesn't matter, who made him Gu Nantian.

Xiao Jingyi's love has always been confused, stubborn, stubborn and unwilling to give up, just like Ah Qi later, but Ah Qi didn't want to become such a person who lost himself, so Ah Qi chose to let go, as soon as this hand was released, Ah Qi could no longer have a complete self, and he no longer had a heart.

"En," Gu Nan leaned in response, his tone not as cold as just now.

"Brother Nan, did you agree? Then I'll tell my father when I go back, let him send you an errand so that you can stay in Nandu and stay by my side," Xiao Jingyi's face was overjoyed.

"Okay."

Xiao Jingyi, who was immersed in her own joy, didn't notice the person next to her, her frowning brows, and her thoughtful look.

"Brother Nan, you are not allowed to regret it, you will always be with me, only with me," Xiao Jingyi held Gu Nantian, as if she had the happiness of the whole world.

At this time, Xiao Jingyi was just blindly stubborn, treating it as if she hadn't seen her for a long time

It's just that I'm not used to being alienated from strangers, after all, they haven't seen each other for three years, three years is a bit long, but it doesn't matter, they still have a long, long time to get along slowly, this time, she will not let him leave her so far away for so long, they will have a lifetime in the future, they will be together for a lifetime, and they will definitely be together for a lifetime, so it really doesn't matter, he takes a step back, I will go further, there will always be a day when there is no way back.

Xiao Jingyi thought so, and always thought so, until later, she really forced him into a desperate situation step by step, just so that he could no longer resist himself and be able to look back at her, just one glance, he was already satisfied, for this look, Xiao Jingyi even gave up everything she had, including the original beauty of this relationship in her heart.

Such a good time, such a beautiful view, no one noticed, behind them someone clenched his fists, closely linked the fate of their group of people.

"Say hello to the old lady," as she spoke, another lady stepped forward, it seemed that she should be a little old, but the maintenance was excellent, and there were no traces of the rough years at all.

I saw her slowly walk in front of the old lady of Gu Mansion and said, "The concubine heard the old lady and liked to listen to music, so she specially invited a famous opera troupe in Nandu," her voice was thin, listening to her words and the direction she was looking at, not far away there were indeed some people wearing costumes and painting a group of people singing songs on the stage, and she continued, "But for the old lady, I specially lined up the drama for a long time, in order to wish the old lady a long life,"

Old Madam Gu replied, "You have a heart, please come up quickly," the smile was faint, and the tone was also faint, it shouldn't be that she particularly liked this person, but she was still happy for her heart.

I saw her wink at the close girl beside her, who received the instructions and said, "Yes, ma'am." ”

So the group of people who were waiting to sing the song also slowly appeared.

This lady is the wife of Gu Yanzhi, the big house of the Gu family, Lin Nianzhen, is the stepwife.

Gu Yanzhi's original partner was Mrs. Gu personally for him, but unfortunately he died early, not long after passing the door, he passed away, a year later, his aunt and wife, Lin Nianzhen, became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy, that is, the current eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Siyuan, the mother is expensive with her son, and it didn't take long for Lin Nianzhen to be corrected and became the serious lady of the big house.

It's just that everyone knows that she has a bad background, and before she became her aunt's wife, she was just a drama singer in the garden, because she sang very well, she was directly recruited by Gu Yan into the mansion as a side room, and she was very careful, plus because of her previous wife, so Mrs. Gu didn't like her very much, and the ladies in the other rooms of the Gu family didn't look down on her very much.

It's just that people don't care about this, they coax Gu Yanzhi happily and obediently, and they also manage all the affairs of the big house properly and in an orderly manner.

The sound of the opera came slowly, the sound was in the ears, babbling, but Ah Qi was also sleepy, and he didn't know what he was singing. Ah Qi looked at the group of ladies and ladies who were watching the play and listening to the music, attentive appearance, and whispered a few times from time to time, she really felt that she was really not suitable to stay here, she didn't feel that this play was wonderful at all, but the more boring she felt, maybe she really couldn't appreciate it, or maybe although it was spring, the sun was still big, she just wanted to find a place to rest for a while, take a good rest, and didn't want to watch the play anymore and didn't want to listen to the play.

However, Ah Qi still stood there, standing there as always, looking at them.

"Okay,"

I vaguely heard someone in the crowd shouting "Okay", thinking that it should be the end of the play, and then I remembered the applause and praise one after another.

Even Old Madam Gu, who had always been serious, softened her eyes at Lin Nianzhen a lot after watching this play, and said, "You have a heart," Old Madam Gu instructed a girl beside her, "Take them to receive the reward,"

"Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie," and they all left.

When one play falls, another play always has to be picked up, otherwise it will be broken, and how can a person's life be broken?

No, someone jumped out immediately and said, "My sister really has a heart, and she actually thought of inviting a group of theater to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but we couldn't think of it.

"Sister said that I was laughing, I just wanted to please the old lady," Lin Nianzhen just smiled and said, not making trouble or being angry, so that she was more generous, and continued, "Where can I compare with my sisters, let my sisters laugh, and don't dislike my sister's vulgar and simple good," and didn't forget to giggle a few times to show friendship.

That person is also a master who does not admit defeat, seeing that this stubble is not successful, so he changed it, and looked like he had just remembered something important, and said, "I just heard my master mention it a few days ago, saying that Siyuan is a good boy, smart and alert, and His Majesty also likes him very much, and intends to promote him,"

This lady is also surnamed Lin, but she is a young lady from a family, and her master is the current Lord Shangshu, surnamed Li, who has a son and a daughter, all of whom have grown up, and they all came together to participate in today's birthday banquet in Gufu.

Mrs. Shangshu said to Lin Nianzhen, "I don't know if there is a favorite person?" There was a look of pride in his eyes.

Lin Nianzhen really immediately lowered her eyes with her head held high, a little unnatural, but it was only a momentary thing, and she replied calmly, "Not yet," This is actually a thorn in Lin Nianzhen's heart, although she is now the eldest lady of the Gu family, but she is not the original lady in the end, and she has no help from her mother's family, she always seems to be soft-spoken, and she is looked down upon everywhere, and her son will inevitably be implicated because of herself, plus,

Gu Fu is everyone, there are many heirs, since there are many heirs, it is inevitable to be compared everywhere, the Gu family is noble, and the sons are all outstanding, so that the ultimate thing to see is the mother's origin and his own talent.

Although Gu Siyuan is the eldest son of the Gu Mansion, he is far less noble than the sons of the other houses, and even the seventh son of the Gu family, Gu Nantian, is not at all inferior to him.

Lin Nianzhen continued, "What, which lady did my sister fall in love with, waiting to introduce us to Siyuan?" "I thought she might be really kind.

"Which family's young lady is not the most important, as long as she is born clean, after all, as a daughter-in-law, don't be a dirty thing that comes out of an unclean place," It's just that the people here, where will there be really good hearts waiting for people, the lady Shangshu seemed to jokingly said to the people around her, "I remember, the eldest lady sang a play, and was looked down upon by Gu Dashao, and accepted as the aunt's wife in the room. It's a lot of thought for the eldest lady to be able to take charge on her own," as if she had mentioned something terrible, she made a fuss and made a big fuss, and continued, "I'm afraid it won't be because I was born in a drama that I thought about this to please the old lady?" The tone was full of sarcasm.

Lin Nianzhen's hands clenching the handkerchief gradually clenched into fists, all hideous, and just as she wanted to open her mouth to refute something, she was stopped by Old Madam Gu's words.

I saw Mrs. Gu say, "Okay, today is my birthday, don't talk about something that I don't have, and make me unhappy," although the words were said to Mrs. Shangshu who was stirring up trouble, her eyes were looking at Lin Nianzhen.

"Yes, it's mine, it's not me, the old lady's happiness is the most important thing," the lady Shangshu hurriedly said with a smile, and when she lowered her head, her eyes were full of sarcasm and ridicule when she looked at Lin Nianzhen, as well as the pride after the conspiracy succeeded.

Old Madam Gu glanced at Lin Nianzhen and said, "You too, you've been busy for so long, you should be tired, go down and rest, don't wait in front of you," After speaking, she immediately turned her face away and looked at the scenery in another place, she didn't want to look at her anymore, she was ashamed, right?

"Yes, old lady, my daughter-in-law has retired."

Lin Nianzhen was full of unconvinced, but she could only give up, and left the scene in a huff, and when she left, she didn't forget to hit the lady Shangshu hard.

It's all her fault, she originally had a good time pleasing the old lady, and she thought that she could slowly change the relationship for the better and let her status in the Gu family rise a little, after all, everyone knows that these nephews of the Gu family are the most filial, and His Majesty also respects the cousin of the former emperor very much and treats each other politely.

It is a fact that if you win the favor of the old lady, you will win the favor of everyone.

Xiao Jingyi obviously felt the awkward atmosphere here, so she pulled Gu Nantian over with her. As soon as he came over, he put his arm around Old Madam Gu's neck, sat beside her, and said, "Grandma, who is this messing with."

Grandma was upset,"

Gu Nantian followed and saluted, "Grandson Nantian has seen grandma,"

Old Madam Gu saw Gu Nantian and Xiao Jingyi smiling slightly, her face was kind, and she said, "It's Tan'er and Jingyi,"

Everyone knows that Gu Nantian is Mrs. Gu's favorite distressed grandson, and it is also the most reassuring one, in the three years that she went to Guanwai, Mrs. Gu can be said to be always strange, always sending people to send things and letters to the past, and he is also Xiao Jingyi's favorite man, and now he is the most concerned young talent in Nandu, with a bright future, and he is the person who is most likely to become the future head of the Gu family, plus he is handsome and very chic, I don't know how many women in Nandu have been intoxicated.

"Grandma, don't be angry, Brother Nanting and I will be worried and sad," Xiao Jingyi said coquettishly, coaxing Mrs. Gu again and again.

Old Madam Gu touched Xiao Jingyi's face, smiled, and said, "Grandma knows that you are the most filial, and as soon as grandma sees us Jingyi, she won't have any worries,"

Mrs. Shangshu just now also took the opportunity to talk to Gu Nantian who was standing on the side, "This is the first time I have seen the seventh prince after returning to Nandu, and my family Ru'er also mentioned it before, saying that I haven't seen Nantian's brother for a long time, and I am worried that I am afraid that the seventh prince will forget her, and I am coming today, and I don't know where I am messing around now, I am not serious at all, "She has a son and a daughter with Shangshu, the son is called Li Qifeng, and the daughter is called Li Xueru, both of whom have played with Gu Nantian since childhood.

"Xueru loves to make trouble, childlike nature, Mrs. doesn't have to care," Gu Nantian is face is respectful, when Li Xueru was mentioned, Gu Nantian still had a lot of memories, the girl in her memory was very fun-loving, very noisy, just like a boy, always following behind her brother and herself, and Xiao Jingyi was different, she was a very brave and casual girl, and she would not be so delicate.

As soon as Mrs. Shangshu heard this, she looked at Gu Nantian's eyes and couldn't help but have a little more appreciation and affection, and then looked at Xiao Jingyi, who was sitting next to Mrs. Gu with an arrogant face, and thought to herself, she was just an adopted daughter who had died and was fostered by the queen, who had no power and no power, and survived with His Majesty's love, my Xueru is not worse than you.

Then another young lady spoke, "The seventh prince looks a lot haggard and has lost a lot of weight, life outside the gate should be very difficult," her face was full of distress, Gu Nantian didn't know which lady she was, but she was still polite, and said slowly, "Let Mrs. worry, Nan leaning is a man, he should have a lot of experience, it's nothing,"

Then another lady also jokingly said, "The seventh prince is young and promising, he is chic, the princess should be careful, she was robbed, and the daughter of Nandu is worried about this young hero,"

"Who dare!" Xiao Jingyi was like a fur when she heard this, she quickly jumped up, walked to Gu Nantian's side, and held Gu Nantian's arm as if declaring her sovereignty, but if you look closely, you will find that Gu Nantian subconsciously frowned at that moment, and it was obvious that he was not particularly happy

Huan's behavior is not particularly fond of this princess, at least the meaning of this princess is not what everyone thinks.

Mrs. Shangshu naturally discovered the abnormality, and she couldn't help but feel a little more sure in her heart.

I heard that a lady took the opportunity to laugh and teas, "Yo, the princess refused to admit it just now, blaming us for making fun of her, and now the fox's tail is suddenly exposed, but what's good?" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and looked at Xiao Jingyi.

Xiao Jingyi's face was flushed, but she still didn't let go of Gu Nan's arm, and just said coquettishly to Old Madam Gu, "Grandma, when will you be able to eat, Jingyi feels hungry," and quickly began to change the topic.

"The princess is accompanied by the seventh son, will she still feel hungry?" Naturally, they won't give up.

Xiao Jingyi was annoyed and angry, and said, "You are making fun of me again," and then cried to Old Madam Gu, "Grandma, you see, they all bullied me," with a look of grievance, very distressing.

"Okay, okay, we can't starve Jingyi," Old Madam Gu played a round, and then commanded Aunt Sun beside her, "Aunt Sun, let them prepare and start the meal," Aunt Sun helped Old Madam Gu up, "Grandma, I'll help you go," Xiao Jingyi also took Old Madam Gu's hand and took her in the direction of the front hall, Gu Nantian naturally followed.

Xiao Jingyi is always very good at coaxing the old lady to be happy.

Aunt Sun stepped aside and said to the rest of the ladies, "Okay, ladies, please move to the front hall."

Then he instructed the other maids and told the other ladies to go to the front hall for dinner.

As soon as Ah Qi took a nap, she heard the sound of a crowd moving, bustling, chattering in the direction where she was standing, should she be planning to leave?

Ah Qi didn't know very well, maybe it was time to start eating, but he just subconsciously woke up, stood to the side, a more corner, and leaned all the way to make a spacious way for them.

Ah Qi thought, it was okay to eat, and after standing for a long time, his legs were really sore, and it was best to end early, after all, he was slapped in vain today, but it was really a wronged and aggrieved thing.

Who would have thought that before Ah Qi came out of the atmosphere he was immersed in, a big incident happened, and it was still a little bloody, still in front of her, her eyes, naked, and bright.

A thick-clothed man with a masked face and a dagger in his hand flew towards the group of people from somewhere, and behind him there was a group of black-clothed men who were also masked somewhere, all holding weapons in their hands, rushing towards a group of men with their claws open, should be disrupting the line of sight, delaying time, and covering for the rough-clothed man who was the leader, because the man was heading towards the group of women and children, and he looked like he was still coming towards the two people who were surrounded in the middle. It's just that I don't know if it's for the old lady of the Gu family or Princess Jingyi who is clinging to her next to her.

Because most of them are a group of noble women and children who are powerless, some may have never seen such a blatant display in their lives

Dare to stab, so they were all frightened, scattered, scurryed, and from time to time with high screams, so the scene was even more chaotic, and they began to be a little unable to distinguish who was who, after all, these ladies were wearing one-to-one regular clothes, gorgeous clothes, flowers, chaos, and blindness, but the goal of the assassin was very clear.

Soon the old lady and Xiao Jingyi were single, and I don't know what went wrong, the old lady and Xiao Jingyi were close to each other, holding each other's arms, and not long after, Xiao Jingyi didn't know who hit her and fell to the ground, fortunately, although the old lady is an old woman, she is still tough, and she is also a person who has seen a big scene, but she is very sober, but at this time sobriety is undoubtedly the best goal.

Seeing that the assassins were about to go towards the old lady, this really irritated Ah Qi, it turned out that the target of these assassins was an old lady who was over seventy years old, it was really strange, what was this for?

yes, what's the picture? The old lady has lived for such a long time, she didn't assassinate sooner or later, and now she is over seventy, and the result is like this, isn't it okay to find trouble? Can't you let people die naturally?

Everyone may not have thought that most of the people who came to help when they heard the noise in the front yard ran to protect the lone princess, after all, it was royal blood, and it was in the Gu family's mansion, so there could be no mistake, otherwise it would be a sin. Who would have thought that the target of these assassins would be their own old lady.

And all this was seen clearly and clearly by Ah Qi, an outsider hiding aside.

Even the old lady herself didn't expect it, and kept muttering, "Protect Jingyi," "It's important to protect Jingyi first", for fear of frightening this little princess who has never seen anything in the world.

Just a second when the dagger was about to stab in front of the old lady, Ah Qi pounced, and the dagger slashed Ah Qi's arm, fortunately, the injury was not serious, because the second after Ah Qi pounced, the legendary Gu family Seven Sons noticed the abnormality, and the result was the assassin, and the reason why Ah Qi injured his arm was an accident was because when the assassin fell to the ground, the dagger fell from his hand, and Ah Qi rushed up, back and forth, rubbing Ah Qi's arm, which scratched Ah Qi.

It's a joke.

Fortunately, no one found out, and it was nothing, otherwise it would really be a loss of death.

Everyone wants to come to the front hall, but they don't know that staying in the backyard and doing hard work is tiring, but the people who stand in the front hall and sing big operas with masks all day long are also very tired.

Ah Qi thought to himself, what kind of bad luck did he pour today.

Ah Qi raised his head and happened to face the seventh son of the Gu family standing not far away, that son looked like a righteous Ling Ran, and the jade tree was in the wind, it seemed that these things were easy for him, but Ah Qi was very weak-hearted, looking at these more or less corpses on the ground and those who were left to be caught alive, and even a little flustered

, whether an assassin or not, after all, it is a human life, although these people choose to do such a hurtful thing, it is not worthy of sympathy, but in the end......

Ah Qi is always like this, always compassionate and indecisive, and always ruthless...... For this reason, Ah Qi also suffered a lot.

At this time, Ah Qi, who was only in a daze, didn't know that those people, both men and women, began to look in her direction, staring at her, as if they were looking at something strange.

There was surprise, fear, and disdain in the eyes of those people.

But Ah Qi didn't remember any of them, and he didn't take them to heart, because in the next second, Ah Qi fell into the crowd and passed out.

It's just that I don't know why, Ah Qi clearly remembers that the person was standing opposite her, facing the sun, and the reflected shadow just fell on her face, covering up a piece of hypocrisy for her, he stood straight, chic and arbitrary, his eyes were cold, although he was not condescending, but he was an unapproachable person.

The seventh son of the Gu family, Gu Nantian, Ah Qi remembered his name and also remembered his face.

Many years later, Ah Qi finally understood why he seemed so different to her on this day, some things were really fate, destined fate, blessing or sin, Ah Qi still didn't know.

"Girl, are you alright?" When Ah Qi woke up, it was in a good room, and although the furnishings in the room were very simple, they were also exquisite, at least much better than where Ah Qi lived.

Someone came to help her, this person Ah Qi also recognized her face, it was the maid who appeared when she went to help the old lady, because Ah Qi's sudden appearance not only injured herself, knocked herself down, but also caused the old lady to fall to the ground together, very embarrassed.

The servant girl who helped her should have been someone from the old lady's side, and she called her "girl".

Ah Qi thought to herself, I'm not a girl, I'm the girl of your Gu Mansion, besides, just how I dress, can I be a girl?

But I thought to myself, the Gu Mansion girl's dress was not too bad.

It's just that Ah Qi is a little unaccustomed to it, but he still clings to her and is pulled up from the bed by her.

In fact, the scratch on the arm is nothing, but the foot is twisted, and I am afraid that it will take a while to recuperate, which is really a tricky thing.

Ah Qi raised her eyes and saw Aunt Sun standing not far away, she also looked at her, "Aunt Sun," Ah Qi was still very self-disciplined, and after standing up, she stood aside in a regular manner, and shouted "Aunt Sun", after all, she only knew the aunt next to the old lady.

My aunt answered, nodded, and walked away, and went outside, whispering a few words to some of the people guarding the door, as if to say something.

Ah Qi's first reaction was, don't you talk about yourself again?

It's just a blessing and not a curse, a blessing and a curse, no, Ah Qi's appearance was regarded as the old lady's life-saving benefactor by the old lady and the ignorant others

, which is also a coincidence.

The girl who helped her just now said to Ah Qi again, "Girl, come with me," and looked at Ah Qi's inconvenient legs and feet, and continued to help her walk very enthusiastically, she is a good person.

While talking, the two of them came to the front hall, and on top of them sat the old lady of the Gu family and the head of the Gu family, that is, Gu Nantian's father, Gu Rongsheng, who really responded to this name, prosperous and rich, rising step by step.

In addition to these two Gu family lords, there were many people sitting on the left and right, and there were also many people standing, of course, there were also Gu Nantian and Xiao Jingyi, Xiao Jingyi naturally stood close to the old lady, as for Gu Nantian, Ah Qi didn't dare to look at him more.

Ah Qi thought, such a big scene?

"Those assassins, do you know each other?" The person who spoke was the head of the Gu family, Gu Rongsheng, with a slight question in his tone.

Ah Qi is a little confused, assassin? Naturally, she didn't recognize it, "The slave didn't recognize it," Ah Qi thought, couldn't it be that she had been asleep for too long?

"Why are you there today?" Ah Qi listened to Gu Rongsheng's tone and the eyes of the Gu family's group of people of all sizes looking at her, and always felt a little ill-intentioned, as if he was interrogating her, as if he was looking at a clown?

Ah Qi thought, although I had no intention, but my bad heart is also good, seeing that your old lady is an old person, and she is alone, and she is about to suffer, so she naturally wants to come to the rescue, which is also to blame Ah Qi, always nosy, this is a bad thing, you have to change!

Ah Qi knelt on the ground, lowered his head and thought to himself, but did not speak.

At this time, Aunt Sun, who was standing, opened her mouth and said, "It was the slave maid who led her over, thinking that there were also more people waiting in the garden," as if she was explaining something for Ah Qi.

Ah Qi suddenly realized that they regarded themselves as accomplices of the assassins, and they were afraid that they felt in their hearts that Ah Qi would never be so kind, and they must have some plans.

"You saved my old lady?" After listening to Aunt Sun's words, someone asked.

Ah Qi shook his head.

"Isn't it?" The man was a little surprised.

He should be thinking that this girl must be greedy for the power and wealth of the Gu family, otherwise she was so young and powerless, how could she go out of her way to save an old lady of the Gu family who had nothing to do with it, and hurt herself, but only hurt the fur from the assassin's hands, which is really incredible.

"It was the Seventh Prince who killed the assassin, it has nothing to do with me, and without me, the old lady would not have been hurt," but this is indeed the case, it is such a coincidence.

The person who saved the old lady of the Gu family is the seventh son of the Gu family, who is her good grandson, to be precise, this grandson also saved Ah Qi by the way, he is indeed a good person, and he should be grateful.

"You're a good man," said the old lady.

Then Gu Rongsheng continued, "Since you saved my old lady, our Gu family owes you a favor, you say, what should you do?" "Since the old lady of the Gu family has opened her mouth, no matter whether she is saved or not, or for whatever reason, what result she gets, it will be the end

This matter still has to be handled properly, and it can't be spread out, so that the Gu family has a reputation for treating people harshly and fearing bandits.

"The slave doesn't ask for anything," Ah Qi is indeed a sincere person.

"You don't ask for it?" The old lady said.

"The slave maid entered the Gu family, just to settle down, I never thought too much, today's incident is a coincidence, the slave maid never expected it, and I couldn't think of anything good to ask for for a while," Ah Qi is indeed a sincere person, but he is also a person who will not let himself be wronged.

The entire Nandu knows that the Gu family is the most powerful family except for the Xiao royal family, if they can really get the Gu family's promise and owe a favor, it is naturally good, after all, there are many things, for the Gu family is just an easy person, and for Ah Qi or for people like Ah Qi, it is indeed very difficult.

"It's a solid one," the old lady praised again and again, and began to look at Ah Qi, who had been kneeling there safely and decently, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

Because Xiao Jingyi, who was standing next to the old lady, was not so good-looking at this time, she should have thought in her heart, she was just a rude girl, where did she come from, she was honest, she was just pretentious, or stupid.

And the rest of the Gu family naturally didn't take Ah Qi to heart, put it in their eyes, only Gu Nantian, from the moment Ah Qi came in, his eyes glanced at Ah Qi as if nothing.

"Okay, so let's do it first, what do you want in the future, if I can do it, if the Gu family can do it, I will answer you, and our Gu family will also allow you, you can rest assured," This was said by the old lady, although it was not said by Gu Rongsheng himself, naturally it can be counted.

"Rest assured," Ah Qi was naturally relieved, "The slave thanked the old lady,"

"What's your name?"

"The slave has no surname or name, and everyone calls me 'Ah Qi',"

Ah Qi... It's a familiar name...

"Ah Qi?" The old lady muttered to herself.

After a while, he said to Gu Nantian, who was standing not far away, "I vaguely remember that in the past, your mother often called you 'Ah Qi', and made it your nickname,"

"Yes, grandma has a heart," Gu Nantian just lowered his head slightly, there was no big change in expression on his face, but there was some subtle flickering in his eyes, although it was a salute to the old lady, it was more like a salute to Gu Rongsheng.

And Gu Rongsheng, who has been sitting there very serious and solemn, has also had a slight change in his expression, whether it is because of the title of "Ah Qi" or because of Gu Nantian's "mother", no one knows, after all, this Gu family head is unpredictable, and the city government is extremely deep, it can really be said that he has calculated for a lifetime, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of the head of the family.

Ah Qi felt that the atmosphere was a little cold.

Ah Qi is sure that it is because of Gu Nantian's mother, because Xiao Jingyi has a lot of distress in her eyes when she looks at Gu Nantian, and there are grievances for him, this girl is indeed in love with Gu Nantian, even if she has always been

Arrogance.

There is no one in her eyes, and in her heart, there is only you alone.

"Your mother is a kind-hearted and virtuous person, but it's a pity..."The old lady sighed a little, maybe because she was really old, but it was only a moment of emotion, and she immediately returned to normal.

"I see that you have just come back from outside, and there must be a shortage of people in the house, and this girl and grandmother like it very much, and she is also destined for you, so I will go to your house to serve," the old lady spoke.

The most reluctant should be Xiao Jingyi, her hands in front of her are about to be twisted together, a little unbelievable, she stretched out her hand and gently pulled the sleeve of Mrs. Gu's clothes, the movement is very subtle, if you don't look carefully, you can't notice it at all, Mrs. Gu stretched out her hand and patted Xiao Jingyi's little hand intimately, like comfort, but in fact, she was just telling Xiao Jingyi, it was just a temptation.

"Grandson thank you grandma, but a few days ago the house has set up a lot of slaves to serve and take care of in my house, grandma is too partial and careful, but many brothers who called the grandson made fun of their grandson, and it became 'Miss Boudoir' It is generally difficult to serve," The seventh son of the Gu family, Gu Nantian, born as a concubine, lives a life comparable to that of a son-in-law, in the Gu family to win the favor of the old lady, and outside to get the favor of the princess, and he is famous, and he is also a talent, and his character is valuable.

Many people say that before Gu Nan's teaching, in the past three years outside the Guan, that is, the year of his biological mother's death, it seems that he has changed a lot, and he has completely changed his temperament, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control, and everyone in Nandu knows that it is not easy for Gu Nan to grow up, Gu Rongsheng does not like this concubine, even if he is very outstanding, he is also very capable.

It's just that the people in Gu Nantian's house are not so easy to do, and they may lose their names one day.

Everyone in the Gu family is a goblin among the elves, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and Gu Qigongzi, who is envied by everyone, Gu Nantian, lives especially on thin ice.

It is said that virtue is not worthy, and the body is not worthy, and it is the same.

Gu Nantian, who was born in such a humble background, is an outstanding young man, in the eyes of many people, he is naturally a thorn in his side, and he feels like he has robbed them of everything.

Gu Nantian politely rejected the old lady's kindness, "If grandma likes it, stay in her own house and be a caring maidservant, grandma feels sorry for her grandson, and her grandchildren know it, but she should also feel sorry for her aunt,"

Xiao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, she was naturally happy, but her eyes still refused to relax, staring at Ah Qi who always kept her head down.
