Chapter 670: Silence
"What's going on out there? Why is it so noisy? ”
Hearing the movement in the wing, Qiao'er turned around and walked into the wingroom to serve: "Madam, you don't know, the little master of Lan'er sent a slave to come over to ask you for peace." ”
"When the slave saw that you were still asleep, she couldn't bear to wake you up, so she sent the peony away."
Gu Mingzhu stretched slightly, and then she stood up, stepped off the bed and sat in front of the dresser.
Qiao'er stood behind her, carefully combing her hair, and on that little face without powder, the skin was snow-white, and the lips were red and porcelain-white, which made people's eyes shine.
Seeing that Gu Mingzhu didn't speak, Qiao'er's eyes flashed slightly, and she asked suspiciously, "Madam, what are you doing today?" ”
"Not much, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night." Gu Mingzhu frowned slightly and said softly.
"The general left early in the morning, and said that there was no need for his wife to prepare breakfast for him." Qiao'er said softly while dressing up Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked softly, "Did the general talk about anything?" ”
"No, I didn't." Qiao'er replied in a low voice.
"Madame, it's getting cold, and there are a lot of different styles of clothes sent from the imperial dining room, take a look." Qiao'er said with a happy face.
Gu Mingzhu, who was sitting upright, raised her eyebrows and looked behind her in the mirror, and said casually: "I like that blue dress." ”
"Yes." Qiao'er took off the blue gauze skirt, and she praised with a smile, "Miss must look good in this dress." ”
"You're used to being sharp-tongued." Gu Mingzhu's delicate cheeks said with a light smile.
She looked at Qiao'er in the mirror with crooked eyebrows.
"By the way, did Little Lord Lan'er have any clothes over there?" Gu Mingzhu asked casually.
Because Lan'er has just arrived, as the general's wife, she can't be so stingy.
"Miss Hui never." Qiao'er replied word by word.
Inform the housekeeper to buy a few clothes for Lan'er.
"Yes." Qiao'er hurriedly replied.
Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu was really satisfied, she bowed her head slightly, and then got up and walked towards the outside of the wing.
A chill hit his face, and Gu Mingzhu gasped.
The slaves and maids who were cleaning in the courtyard saluted respectfully when they saw Gu Mingzhu and said, "The slaves and maids have seen Madame." ”
"Get up." Gu Mingzhu said softly.
As soon as the words fell, a slender figure walked over, and when she saw her, she saluted and said, "Lan'er has asked my sister to say goodbye." ”
Gu Mingzhu, who was standing under the eaves, swept Lan'er with deep phoenix eyes, and said with thin lips: "Get up." ”
"Sister Xie." Lan'er said respectfully.
Then she chuckled and said, "I specially boiled a cup of tea for my sister to taste." ”
As she spoke, Lan'er picked up the teacup and walked towards Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu looked relieved, took the teacup and took a sip and said, "You have a heart." ”
"I've asked for a gift, and I've drunk tea, so you can step down." Gu Mingzhu ordered softly.
"Yes." Lan'er replied with a well-behaved face, and she turned to leave.
At this time, Qiao'er behind him stepped forward and reminded softly: "Madame, slave and maid have prepared breakfast for you." ”
"I'm not hungry."
Gu Mingzhu said softly, stepping down the steps in broken steps, looking at the orderly general's mansion, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, "Did the general say when he would come back?" ”
"Miss Hui never." Qiao'er replied respectfully.
Since the general is no longer in the house, Gu Mingzhu can't be idle, her eyes are rolling in her sockets: "You take out all the ginseng wine I stored, and I'm going to sell it on the street." ”
Hearing this, Qiao'er frowned and said in a low voice: "Miss, those ginseng wines are all precious things, who will buy them?" ”
After all, in this small Zhengning Village, there is not a big market, and there are few rich families within a radius of hundreds of miles.
"If I tell you to take it, you can take it." Gu Mingzhu scolded in a deep voice.
Seeing this, Qiao'er hurriedly replied: "The slaves and maids all listen to the young lady." ”
Qiao'er instructed several guards back and forth before carefully carrying all the ginseng wine onto the carriage.
Then Gu Mingzhu sat in the carriage and rushed towards the market.
Qiao'er's little face was wrinkled along the way, she hadn't had breakfast yet, she was busy going back and forth, and her stomach couldn't help ringing.
It was particularly clear in this quiet carriage, and Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but smile and quipped: "Look at you, you're hungry." ”
"Miss, you don't eat anymore, how can your body stand it?" Qiao'er asked worriedly, with a look of displeasure on her face.
Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu sneered: "When you get to the market, Miss Ben will take you to eat delicious food." ”
Qiao'er's face was happy, and she echoed again and again: "That's really good." ”
The carriage stopped in the famous restaurant Juxiang Building in the bazaar, and Qiao'er carefully helped Gu Mingzhu get out of the carriage.
Xiao Er greeted him with a smile on his face, and when he saw that it was Gu Mingzhu coming, he immediately said happily: "Mrs. Gu hasn't come to our Baiju Building for a long time, so please come soon." ”
"Hmm." Gu Mingzhu replied softly and walked into the restaurant with broken steps.
At this time, Xiao Er directly led Gu Mingzhu to the private room on the third floor of the Baiju Building, and was busy serving tea and pouring water for a while.
"Bring me some of your latest special dishes." Gu Mingzhu commanded softly.
Hearing this, Xiao Er had a respectful look on his face, and hurriedly replied: "The little one will go down and prepare." ”
"Miss Gu recently developed a kind of peach blossom wine in the restaurant, which is not intoxicating, do you want to drink some?" Xiao Er greeted warmly.
But Gu Mingzhu chuckled and said, "Speaking of wine, I have something I want to ask your shopkeeper for something." ”
Xiao Er couldn't help frowning, Gu Mingzhu is the general's wife, what big trouble can there be in the shopkeeper?
Seeing Xiao Er's puzzled look on his face, Gu Mingzhu was not in a hurry to explain, and said lightly: "Or let me fill my stomach first and talk about this with your shopkeeper later?" ”
"It's all up to Miss Gu." Xiao Er echoed respectfully, turned around and retreated.
After Xiao Er left, Qiao'er asked curiously, "Miss, what secrets do you have?" ”
"We'll talk about that later." Gu Mingzhu smiled mysteriously, and smiled at Qiao'er.
Then her eyes flashed slightly, and she picked up a cup of teacup and took a sip, looking very leisurely.
After a moment's effort, Xiao Er brought the meal and placed it on the table, and then got up and retreated.
Looking at the dazzling array of delicacies in front of her, Qiao'er on the side couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Gu Mingzhu nodded with satisfaction, picked up the chopsticks, set up the delicious food in front of her, she tried to eat a bite, the mouth was full of fragrance and it was very delicious.
She nodded with satisfaction and said, "This sweet and sour carp is good." ”
After Gu Mingzhu ate a few bites of food, she pushed the dishes and chopsticks, she wiped her mouth, raised her eyes and glanced at Qiao'er.
"Sit down and eat together."
"Thank you, Miss." Qiao'er replied happily, and she ate two large bowls one after another, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction.
