CHAPTER XXVIII
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, after all, this matter must be handled properly, and it cannot 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 looked at Gu Nantian with a lot of distress in her eyes, and she was wronged for him, this girl really loves Gu Nantian deeply, even if she has always been arrogant.
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.
"You have this mouth, and you still say that your brother is making fun of you, I see that you have really become a 'boudoir lady', you are also fair-looking, and you have been good-looking since you were a child," Mrs. Gu said with a smile.
"Grandma, you still don't want to make fun of Brother Nan anymore," Xiao Jingyi opened her mouth in time.
"In this case, you can stay in my house and follow Aunt Sun," Mrs. Gu gave up at this time, left Ah Qi in her room, and assigned it to Aunt Sun, which can be regarded as an honor for Ah Qi.
"Yes," Ah Qi didn't have anything wrong in his heart, he just hoped that it would be over soon, and he would go back and rest for a while, even if he wasn't lying down, it would be like kneeling like this.
They talked and laughed, but I was the worst.
"It's just that the title 'Ah Qi' has hit the master's name, I'm afraid I can't call it, I have to change it," the old lady of the Gu family continued, "Since you are a person in my house, you have to be serious and take a good name," It seems that she is planning to rename her."
It doesn't matter anymore, after all, Ah Qi doesn't know what his name is, in this way, in fact, whatever he is called is the same, and it is not his original belonging.
The old lady opened her mouth, but she didn't say a word, Ah Qi thought that she had already thought about it. After all, she is an old lady from a big family, and her name is naturally made from her heart, but who knows, there has been no follow-up for a long time, and Ah Qi, who is kneeling, is dazzled and sour.
"It's just a little slave who sweeps the house, just take a name," Xiao Jingyi spoke, "What Mo'er, Cai'er,"
...... It seems that this princess is really going to be on the same bar as Ah Qi.
"Huai Jin," just these two words, the voice of the person who spoke was leisurely, and it sounded very tasteful, especially when these two words came out of his mouth, it was even more flavorful, Ah Qi looked up to see who this person was, it turned out to be Gu Nantian.
Gu Nantian glanced at Ah Qi, Ah Qi quickly lowered her head with a weak heart, but her eyes betrayed her, she liked this name.
Huai Jin, Huai Jin.
"What?" Old Lady Gu didn't seem to hear clearly.
And Xiao Jingyi stared at Gu Nantian with dead eyes, but Gu Nantian didn't look at her, Gu Nantian repeated to Mrs. Gu again, "It's called Huaijin, how does grandma feel?" ”
At that time, Ah Qi didn't know why Gu Nantian chose this name for her, but later she realized that it was not her at all that he was for, and she had always been thinking alone.
Huai Jin held Yu Xi and couldn't show it. Gu Nantian obtained the word "Huai Jin", which is the case, if it is said that it is for Ah Qi to gain fame, it is just to warn others, and it is also to show his own attitude.
At that time, Gu Nantian had already begun to live depressed, and Ah Qi at that time still didn't know that if she knew, she would definitely stay away from this man from the beginning, and she would not be close to death.
However, the wheel of fate has long been opened, and everyone is a pawn that is manipulated in its game.
The old lady recited these two words a few times, smiled happily, and hit it off, "Huai Jin, it's a good name, so it's called Huai Jin,"
Now it's Ah Qi's turn, "Huai Jin thanked the old lady, Xie Qi Gongzi,"
This time it's really over.
A group of people from the Gu family said a lot of gossip, nothing more than about the Gu family mixing in with the assassins today, and they felt very unlucky, disturbing everyone's interest in vain, and losing the face of the Gu family, so that many officials and relatives were frightened, and they also saw jokes.
The Gu family, who is usually well-organized and united and friendly on weekdays, came to a few assassins, and they all fled without a trace, isn't this just a joke?
"It was the son's mistake that allowed the Gu family to get into the thieves and disturb his mother's birthday banquet,"
"Fortunately, the assassins have been cleaned up, so the old lady doesn't have to worry,"
"I just didn't leave a single one alive,"
"Mother rest assured, the son will definitely investigate this matter carefully and give his mother an explanation,"
The person who spoke was Gu Rongsheng and the master of the second room of the Gu family, and he always liked to go against Gu Rongsheng, and he was blaming Gu Rongsheng for doing things unfavorably.
Although Gu Rongsheng is the head of the Gu family, he is not the eldest son of the Gu family, but he is a second son, and he is also a concubine, belonging to the third room, and the master of the Gu family is not serious, and he will not take care of these troubles on weekdays, what he loves most is to drink a little wine and sing a little song, but the second room is quite scheming, and he has always been dissatisfied with Gu Rongsheng as a younger brother but became the head of the Gu family, and since then he has been the master of the elder brother.
The Gu family also has a fourth miss, the daughter of the old lady of the Gu family, and the only child who is related by blood, but unfortunately passed away at a young age and died of illness, but there are rumors that the fourth miss of the Gu family, who is very valuable, was actually martyred to death, for a man whose name is unknown now, and it can be regarded as a woman with a strong and strong personality.
When the fourth lady was alive, she was also a figure in Nandu, very heroic, although the brothers fought fiercely with each other, they all loved this little sister very much, and they inherited the fine tradition of the old lady and the old lady of the Gu family, although she was a woman, she was fortunate to be a woman, otherwise the Gu family would definitely be a new world now.
I heard that after the old lady Gu heard the bad news of the fourth lady, she was hit and couldn't afford to get sick, not long after the death of the fourth lady, the old lady also passed away one after another, and handed over the position of the head of the family to Gu Rongsheng before she died, and now it has been many years.
At this time, Ah Qi realized that there was no assassin alive, no wonder they looked at themselves like this at the beginning, they really regarded themselves as an accomplice of the assassins, and this suspicion would not be easily eliminated, otherwise they would not have left themselves in their own rooms, at most they would have rewarded them with some gold and silver or directly returned Ah Qi to live their own lives.
Then most of the people talked about inconsequential details, and soon everyone got up and said hello to the old lady, isn't there a sentence that says, do you have to do a full set of plays?
Then they all dispersed, and when everyone left, their eyes more or less caught a glimpse of Gu Nantian and Ah Qi, maybe Ah Qi thought about it a lot.
After all, Gu Nantian was a threat to them, but Ah Qi was just an insignificant person.
After everyone was gone, Aunt Sun gave Ah Qi a look and motioned for Ah Qi to get up.
"Old lady, I'll help you go back to the house to rest and rest, and let the kitchen bring some food later,"
"Yes,"
In this way, the front hall itself was very lively, and for a while only Ah Qi was left, and of course, there were those maids who performed their own duties, still standing in their own seats, doing their own errands without hearing them.
Ah Qi suddenly felt a little sad, she was... Why did she somehow become a person in the old lady's house, even if she really became a person in the old lady's house, but at this time, someone had to settle her, so what is it? Does she continue to go back to her backyard? Or do you want to wait here and listen to orders?
Ah Qi didn't want to think about it, so she left silently by herself, thinking that if something really happened, someone would always come to her, and she would not be able to leave the Gu Mansion easily.
Who would have thought that it was such a coincidence, and Ah Qi met two enemies, Xiao Jingyi and Gu Nantian.
"Brother Nan," Xiao Jingyi still had a particularly squeezed and shy daughter's posture, pulling Gu Nantian's sleeves and calling Brother Nan sweetly.
Seeing that Gu Nantian was a little indifferent and didn't particularly want to deal with her, Xiao Jingyi also became angry and asked, "Why did Brother Nan choose a name for that maidservant girl?" There was something aggressive in the tone.
Gu Nan's originally polite eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Ah Qi knows that this princess is really unlikable, not to mention anything else, she really doesn't like Gu Nantian, I'm afraid she will be sad.
Even Ah Qi, a person who has only met Gu Nantian but can't be on one side, no, to be precise, it should be two-sided, and it may be counted as three-sided, in short, Ah Qi, who doesn't know Gu Nantian, knows that Gu Nantian should be a high-minded and arrogant person, he doesn't like to be restrained by others, and he doesn't like to live a life arranged by others and snorting on others, and even looks a little indifferent, but he should be a very scheming person.
Don't say much, he should be a ruthless person, ruthless and heartless, and this is still true to himself, let alone others, let alone himself
Happy people.
"What do you mean by a princess?"
However, Xiao Jingyi has been immersed in her own world, and she didn't notice that Gu Nantian took a step back from her, and she was extremely displeased, "Huai Jin, Huai Jin Ruoyu, is the best meaning, she is the concubine of a big family, and she is rarely named like this, she is just a lowly slave, how can she deserve such a good name?" ”
......
I...
Ah Qi is really unlucky, and he is unlucky wherever he goes, can't it be that your brother Nan is educated, and he is a good name with self-cultivation when he takes it casually? Is vinegar so heavy? What's more, your brother Nan just rejected the old lady's kindness and refused me to enter his house, which can be regarded as guarding you like jade, okay? Wasn't it nice to see you just now?
"How?" Gu Nantian said,
"She is the old lady's favorite person, and she has to be supported by Aunt Sun, if the princess is not happy, she can go to the old lady and say, but it's just a name, the princess likes it, if she doesn't like it, just give up, the princess is golden and jade, she is just a lowly slave and maid, and she can't dirty the princess's eyes," Gu Nantian's face was already a little bad.
When she was in the front hall, Gu Nantian's grandmother shouted intimacy, looking happy, but now Gu Nantian's old lady shouted bluntly and indifferently, without the slightest warmth.
yes, bitch.
Gu Nantian is a concubine, even if he is in the Gu family, he is just a concubine, even if he is a big family, but unfortunately as long as he is a concubine, he is no different from a lowly slave.
Xiao Jingyi is a princess, even though her biological mother is not from a high background, but in the end, she is the concubine of His Majesty, and she has to be pitied by Her Majesty since she was a child, and she has been fostered under the queen's knees.
The queen was born in a family and has her own son-in-law, who is also an adult, but His Majesty has been reluctant to make her the crown prince.
Xiao Jingyi's mother was His Majesty's favorite concubine, and died after giving birth to Xiao Jingyi, His Majesty took pity on his daughter and raised her in the Queen's Palace, so that the Queen regarded it as his own, but in the end, the Queen was not favored by His Majesty, it was a well-known thing in the palace, over the years, because Xiao Jingyi had a little pity from His Majesty, she went to the Queen's Palace a few times, so she always treated Xiao Jingyi well, but in the end, people's hearts are separated from the belly, and the queen has always been jealous, and there are even rumors in the palace that the queen forced Xiao Jingyi's biological mother to death, and all this, Xiao Jingyi was kept in the dark, no one mentioned it to her, and she didn't dare to mention it.
