Chapter 33 The Tea Ceremony
"Sir, madam, the slave and maid have boiled ginseng soup and brought it to you."
"Aunt Bai has a heart."
"It's what a slave should do." With a snort, Aunt Bai's gaze kept rolling on Qiao Xingbang's body.
Qiao Xingbang was annoyed by such naked, naked, naked eyes, and said to Gu Jingshu: "I'll go to the study and come back at dinner." ”
Gu Jingshu and Aunt Bai got up and sent Qiao Xingbang out of the main courtyard until they turned back.
"Aunt Bai's little life has passed?" Gu Jingshu finally asked.
Aunt Bai's face turned red, and she hurriedly said, "Mrs. Hui, it's over." ”
"Then you go back and prepare, the master has dinner in the evening, and he will go to the 'Peony House'." Gu Jingshu also said directly to Aunt Bai.
"Mrs. Xie." Aunt Bai immediately lifted the corner of her skirt and took the maid back to the "Peony Medicine House" to prepare.
Qiao Yixi sat in her seat and looked at Gu Jingshu with a disapproving expression.
She knew Gu Jingshu's helplessness, so she could send her husband to another woman's bed with her own hands......
She couldn't take it.
Gu Jingshu shook her head amusedly, "Qiao Qiao is dissatisfied with her mother?" ”
"Nope." Qiao Lixi replied sullenly.
"Is that a lack of faith in your father?"
Hehe.
How can you have faith in such a thing?
Although it's not good to say this, men are animals who think in the lower body, not to mention that Baba sent them to the door?
When it really came to bed, it wasn't the man who suffered.
Besides, men in this period already had three wives and four concubines, one more can afford to raise, and it doesn't matter if there is one less.
Gu Jingshu pinched Qiao Yixi's face, "Mother and your father are a young couple, they have experienced so much for more than 20 years, what else can't they trust each other?" Since your father gave his mother a promise, his mother naturally believes in him, if he can't do it, his mother can also let go of his promise, what to do in the future, my mother knows in her heart. ”
Qiao Yixi nodded, but she was unsure.
Even if Qiao Xingbang is Liu Xia Hui and is not messy, Aunt Bai is everywhere, even if she does not succeed in climbing the bed, there is such a person who responds, and there is always a pimple in her heart.
"Okay, it's not something you have to worry about, my mother still has this ability. What about you, go back and get a good night's sleep, and let's go to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion tomorrow. ”
The injury on the back of Qiao Lixi's head has basically healed, so it is reasonable that they should all go to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to say thank you.
Returning to the East Courtyard in a daze, Qiao Yixi lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, Astragalus volunteered to go to the "Peony House" to inquire about the situation, but was stopped by her.
That's the elder's business, is she still going to listen to the corner of the wall as a junior?
The next day, with a pair of panda eyes, Qiao Lixi arrived at the main courtyard of the East Courtyard early.
"Jojo, what are you...... A thief in the middle of the night? Gu Jingshu deliberately teased.
Qiao Yixi rolled her eyes in her heart.
If she hadn't worried about this cheap girl, wouldn't she have insomnia all night, and then come early to comfort her?
Gu Jingshu was funny, and immediately asked the maid to bring a hot towel and help Qiao Yixi put it on her eyes, "You kid, why do you care so much at such a young age?" Now is the time for you to grow your body, how can you do it without sleeping at night? ”
Qiao Lixi sullenly did not speak.
Gu Jingshu knows that Qiaoqiao doesn't like to talk, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand anything.
On the contrary, this child is precocious than his peers and has many things to hide in his heart.
It is because he knows how to observe words and colors too much, and his mind is more delicate than that of ordinary children, and he knows how to be considerate of others, and he worries about himself as an adult.
Although she is very pleased that her daughter can be so caring, Gu Jingshu hopes that Qiaoqiao can have the innocence and freewheeling that she should have at this age.
"Jojo is here?"
Hearing Qiao Xingbang's voice, Qiao Lixi subconsciously moved, but was pulled by Gu Jingshu, "Don't move, take care of your eyes, this black can't be dispersed, I'll see how you will go out." ”
Qiao Xingbang was secretly having fun on the side, and he blinked at Gu Jingshu - this girl is worried about me.
- You're embarrassed to say it!
Gu Jingshu rolled her eyes back.
Qiao Xingbang's eyes widened deliberately - Qiao Qiao and I are the closest, and I believe in my father the most!
After not hearing any movement around her for a long time, Qiao Lixi fidgeted, "Dad? Mother? ”
"Qiaoqiao, don't move," Gu Jingshu finally spoke, "We'll start eating right away." ”
After the maid had set up breakfast, Gu Jingshu took off the hot towel on Qiao Yixi's eyes, replaced them with two slices of cucumbers, and gently pressed them on the lower eyelids.
Qiao Lixi, who could finally open her eyes, looked at Qiao Xingbang intently.
"Qiaoqiao, do you think Daddy is a little more handsome again?" Qiao Xingbang deliberately approached Qiao Yixi and asked with a smile.
Qiao Yixi slumped her face and looked at him with disgust.
Qiao Xingbang, who felt that he had been hurt, pouted sadly, "Qiaoqiao doesn't like daddy anymore, Qiaoqiao doesn't want daddy anymore." ”
Qiao Lixi was embarrassed.
She also knew that Qiao Xingbang was deliberately teasing her, because Qiao Xingbang always felt that he owed her all the year round, so he wanted to make amends and spared no effort to spoil her, but she was really not a ten-year-old child, so she couldn't cooperate!
"Dad, when did you come back?" The serious Qiao Lixi, with a tiger face, tried to make a serious appearance.
But the bright facial features are charming that do not match the age, and the two contradictions are blended together, an inexplicable sense of joy.
Qiao Xingbang winked at her, took out a thumb-sized porcelain vase from his sleeve and handed it to her.
"What is this?" Qiao Lixi shook the porcelain bottle, and there was a feeling of liquid shaking.
"Drug, colorless and odorless, soluble in water, no damage to the body."
"For Aunt Bai?" Qiao Lixi's eyes widened, and when she saw Qiao Xingbang nodding, she put the porcelain bottle into the purse on her waist.
This kind of good stuff must be taken back and studied well.
"Now you believe Daddy?" Qiao Xingbang cares a lot about what his daughter thinks of him.
Qiao Lixi smiled delicately.
Soft and cute appearance, Qiao Xingbang's heart melted, where is he still in the mood to entangle his weight in his daughter's heart.
"But, will Aunt Bai not notice it?" Qiao Lixi began a new entanglement.
Even if Aunt Bai can't notice it, Qiao Xingbang can't always use drugs, right?
"Master, madam, miss, Aunt Bai is here." The little maid interrupted Qiao Lixi's words tremblingly.
Gu Jingshu helped Qiao Lixi open a small opening on the top of the crab roe bun, and asked Qiao Lixi to suck the juice of the soup bun first, and said casually: "Aunt Bai can't wait to toast this cup of tea." ”
She didn't drink the tea that Aunt Bai respected, and Aunt Bai's identity was not recognized, and she had no name or distinction in the East Courtyard, and she was not even as good as her subordinates.
The family of three had breakfast slowly and arrived at the east time.
Aunt Bai stood there in an orderly manner, her eyebrows and eyes were meek, and her eyes were full of spring.
Qiao Lixi couldn't tell the difference between a woman and a woman, so she only stared at Aunt Bai in a daze.
Aunt Bai's eyes couldn't hide her pride.
Although she didn't have any impression of last night's incident, and she is still annoyed that she didn't play well for the first time, but looking at the old man's expression, she didn't seem to be dissatisfied with her.
Thinking about it, she was also excited, so she fainted excitedly.
The old man has tasted her taste and knows that she is different from Gu Jingshu, as long as she can pull the old man to her bed again, she will definitely make the old man drunk and dreamy to death, and she can't stop it.
Although it was a little regrettable, when the little maid served the tea, Aunt Bai couldn't stop being excited.
During this time, she was first hindered by Gu Jingshu, and then because of her physical inconvenience, she has not been able to serve Qiao Xingbang, and her position in the East Courtyard is very embarrassing, and now, as long as Gu Jingshu drinks this cup of tea. Her name was decided, and she also had the right to speak in the Eastern Courtyard.
Aunt Bai kept in mind the purpose of her coming to the East Courtyard, she came on behalf of the old lady, and only by completing the tasks assigned by the old lady could she show her value, and with value, the old lady would provide her with necessary support and help.
"Madame, tea, please." Kneeling respectfully in front of Gu Jingshu, Aunt Bai handed over the teacup with both hands.
Gu Jingshu looked at Aunt Bai lightly.
Aunt Bai had already been mentally prepared, knowing that this cup of tea Gu Jingshu would not be so easy to drink, she always maintained a humble smile on her face, raised her hands flat, and looked at Gu Jingshu with a smile, enduring humiliation and burden, which made people want to hold it in her arms and comfort her.
Qiao Yixi immediately looked at Qiao Xingbang vigilantly.
Sensing her gaze, Qiao Xingbang smiled at her.
Qiao Lixi retracted her gaze with some embarrassment.
It's her who is worrying about the sky.
Just like Gu Jingshu said, if Qiao Xingbang wanted to carry his aunt or something, he would have carried it a long time ago, and he didn't have to wait until now.
The relationship between the East Court and the Middle Court is not good, and Qiao Xingbang does not have to use the old witch's people to disgust himself. If you really want to have a son, it is better to find a random woman than white peony.
Businessman, I haven't been to any Fengyue place, Qiao Xingbang should be a stable person.
Gu Jingshu took the teacup, took a sip slowly, and put it on the table.
"In the future, you will be the person next to the master, and your task is to take care of the master and give birth to a son. The people in the East Courtyard are very simple, I can't see those pickled things, do your duty, it should be yours, I won't lose any of you, but if you have a mind that you shouldn't have, even if you are an old lady's person, I won't spare you! ”
"Yes, the slave and maid take Madame's words to heart." She agreed respectfully in her mouth, but Aunt Bai didn't care in her heart.
It's all said, she is an old lady's person, what can Gu Jingshu do to her?
She is now an aunt, what else should she not have?
Squeeze out Gu Jingshu and be the housemother of the East Courtyard?
She's ambitious, but she knows what's best for her.
Not to mention that the old man's thoughts about her have not reached the point where she can make Gu Jingshu give way, even the Qiao family has no such precedent, because the old lady does not allow it.
Even if she gave birth to a son in the future, the old lady would not allow it.
The word "concubine" is a thorn in the heart of the old lady, over the years, although the one in the southern courtyard has devoted himself to worshipping the Buddha and living in a simple place, but the old lady's resentment towards that person will not be less than if it is brought into the coffin.
Therefore, the old lady is absolutely not allowed to become a concubine.
Therefore, she was well aware of her position in the East Courtyard.
