The bride's crying, Gu Mengping felt a little difficult to handle.

When he first returned to the Xifu mansion, Xin'er was waiting by his side, and he also had some fate. But before he left the big house, he specially arranged a place for Xin'er and did not leave her in Mohuayuan.

Theoretically speaking, his relationship with Xin'er's master and servant has been broken. But the bride is obviously desperate, otherwise she wouldn't have asked for herself.

It's just that he and Gu Weisheng are father and son, how can they take care of Lao Tzu's house?

Thinking left and right, he couldn't think of a way, and Gu Mengping was embarrassed for a while.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the study, and Kaki walked in with a plate of pastries.

Since Sun Weizhan left, Jia Mu has lost weight extremely quickly, and there is less smile on his face. Gu Mengping saw that he was anxious in his eyes but had nothing to do, so he had to secretly instruct Yingsleeve to let her pay more attention to Jiamu, and if something was wrong, he hurriedly came over and told him.

Seeing Jiamu coming in, Gu Mengping hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Sister is here." ”

"This is a pastry sent by Mrs. Lu, Brother Ping came to taste it." Although Jia Mu was smiling, there was sadness in the corners of his eyes.

Gu Mengping glanced at her quietly, and then said with a smile: "Lady Lu is really a good craft, but she is tired of her." "Lu Niangzi is the daughter of Lu Buhou, the big shopkeeper of Mengmo Zhai, and she is extremely filial. Lü Buhou has been living with her since he was kicked out by his sons. Later, he took over Mengmo Zhai and ate and lived in the store.

It is not easy for Lu Niangzi to sympathize with her father, so she sends some food and clothes to Mengmozhai every once in a while. Later, I knew that Lao An was a compassionate person, and when he sent food to his father, he often sent one to the outer three rooms.

Lao An didn't accept it at first, but Lu Niangzi sent it again and again.

After a long time, Lao An began to accept the pastries she sent. It's just that every time I don't let the mother-in-law of Lu Niangzi's family go back empty-handed, I always send something else of equal value.

Gu Mengping picked up a piece of apricot blossom cake, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. A fragrance of apricot blossoms explodes on the tip of the tongue, and the entrance is sweet and soft, and the lips and teeth are fragrant. After eating one, I felt quite unfinished.

"That's good." Gu Mengping sincerely admired, this craftsmanship is incomparable even to the pastry shop outside.

Looking at Gu Mengping's bright smile, Jia Mu couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, if Gongsun Yuan was still there-

She was startled and stood up, "Let's stay here and eat, I'll go out first." After speaking, don't wait for Gu Mengping to reply.

Looking at her back, Gu Mengping suddenly raised his head and had an idea in his heart.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people can't keep private slaves at all, but because Gu Li of Xifu is a subordinate official of the Great Prince's Mansion, his sons have slaves and maids waiting for him, but no one has a beak.

Although the Holy Lord did not give any princely titles to the princes today, they were allowed to open mansions, and the Internal Affairs Office would also allocate silver taels to those adult princes every year for daily expenses. For Gu Lixian, the right concubine, the eldest prince attaches great importance to it, not only does he reward him every year, but he also sends people from Beijing to congratulate him on his ancestor's birthday.

Because of this, the people of Xifu are a little unstoppable. They actually forgot that Gu Weisheng was just a lifter and not a jinshi-

It's natural to take a concubine if you want to, but his career is almost over. In the examination, the jinshi lingers in the flowers, which is called elegance, and if the jinshi in the examination lingers in the flowers, it is called indecent.

What emperor would like such a lift? Before he was admitted to the Jinshi, he accepted a few rooms, and he was not allowed to scavenge the land three feet high when he became an official in the future?

This year, it happens to be the year of Dabi, and Gu Weisheng will naturally participate in this year's imperial examination-

Gu Mengping decided to start here.

After the bride obeyed his call and came to the outer third room again, he went straight to the point, "Do you recognize Yang Baoxiao's family next to the ancestor?" ”

When the bride heard this, she was stunned and hesitated: "Who in the house doesn't recognize her?" That's the big red man around the ancestor. But the little woman is of humble status, where is the fate to recognize her? The bride squirmed as she spoke.

Gu Mengping nodded, his expression was as usual, "Then do you know that the old ancestor has always valued the fourth master?" ”

Who in the whole Suiping doesn't know that the ancestor of the Gu family treats Gu Siye as the root of his life? The bride nodded yes.

Gu Mengping lowered his eyes and chuckled: "The old ancestor loves the fourth master so much, how could he be willing to make such a big ugly appearance in the year of Dabi?" You just need to find a chance to catch up with this Yang Baoxiao's family, whether it is a gift or money, be sure to ask her to hand the words to the ancestor, and the ancestor will naturally come forward for you...... In this way, you will not anger the fourth master, and Xin'er will be able to get out of this matter. ”

The bride looked at him, and her heart beat violently.

Gu Mengping raised his eyes to look at her, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. A pair of deep and deep eyes, as if the darkness can't see to the end.

"When the ancestor speaks, you will go to Yuanruju to beg Aunt Xie and beg her to return your mother and daughter home. In order to show that she respects her ancestors, Aunt Xie will definitely let you go. When you are free, if you want to return to your hometown, you can return to your hometown, and I will give you five taels of silver Cheng Yi here, so as to complete the friendship between Xin'er and me. If I don't want to go home, I need someone to take care of my grandmother and my sisters here. As for the monthly silver...... Naturally, it is not as much as the West House. ”

Gu Mengping's gentle smile is like a willow dancing in the wind on the shore of Suya Lake.

Hearing this, the bride's breathing gradually became heavier. Her head slowly drooped, her eyes fixed only on her toes.

The bride didn't speak, and Gu Mengping didn't speak.

It was quiet, and only the heavy breathing of the bride could be heard.

After a long time, I could only hear a gust of wind blowing outside the door, slowly bringing up the two window lattices, and there was a soft sound.

The new lady was suddenly excited and bit her lip, "The little woman and the new child are willing to come to Liangbang Lane to wait for Lao An." ”

At this moment, she thought very far.

First of all, all of them are kind and kind people in the outer three rooms, especially Lao Anren, and their mothers will not suffer any grievances in the outer three rooms. Secondly, Gu Mengping is obviously a person with a great future. Although she has not gone out in Xidafang for a long time, she has also vaguely heard Gu Mengping's good name, who doesn't know that the eldest son of Xidafang who went out was appreciated by the prefect of Runing Mansion, and later came out of the limelight in the poetry club of Rongshan Mountain.

If they can come to the outer three rooms, it may be a turning point in their lives.

In the future, if Gu Mengping wins the champion, won't the two of them be the old men of the champion's mansion? It's also superior to say it.

Seeing that she agreed, Gu Mengping bowed slightly, did not speak again, smiled and waved her hand to signal her to go out.

He took the new children for the sake of Jiamu. Although there are still two years to keep the funeral, Kejiamu's age is placed here, and when the filial piety period is over, he will say that the matchmaker will be married. If she hurriedly buys some maids when she gets married, I am afraid that I will be laughed at by my future in-laws.

It's better to take advantage of the past two years to find some kind maids to slowly train by your side.

Xin'er has also been in contact with this person, although he is a little cautious, but his nature is extremely positive, and it is only suitable for her to wait for Jiamu.

I was thinking about it here, but when I saw the door being pushed open again, I ran in with a smile.

"Brother, brother, do you think the dress with sleeves is beautiful? This is a new one made by my sister. She threw herself into Gu Mengping's arms and looked at him with black and white eyes.

Gu Mengping took a look, and saw that she was wearing a green makeup sleeve jacket on her upper body, and a six-piece Hunan skirt embroidered with red plum blossoms on a white background. Lined with her red little face, it looks even more picturesque and stunning.

"Beautiful! We look good in whatever we wear. Gu Mengping nodded her nose dotingly.

Yingsleeve grinned and buried his head in Gu Mengping's arms.

……

Just after the birthday of the Northern Emperor, it was followed by Gu Yu. On the day of the valley rain, it began to rain in a dripping manner.

This rain made the entire Runing Mansion smile.

Compared with last year's disaster year, this timely rain can be called the best good news. For this matter, the head of the Zhuang who managed the grange came to the outer third room to congratulate Lao An.

Zhuang Tou is the son of Ning Bo, who is usually not good at words, saying that he is coming to congratulate is actually to go to that pestle, and he will only grin dryly. But Lao An people just like him as a cow, praise him for being loyal and honest, and don't let Lao An people worry about renting every year.

By March 23. At the time of the birth of the Queen of Heaven, there was news from the West House.

said that the ancestor sent Gu Weisheng to the capital to participate in this year's imperial examination, but the Xie family was not allowed to follow. The Xie family was angry, so they found the wrong places for Gu Weisheng's concubines and repaired them.

The old ancestor was furious, thinking that Xie was giving himself eye medicine. mentioned the Tongfang named Jade that Gu Weisheng only accepted last year as a concubine, and she served Gu Weisheng in Beijing.

At this moment, Xie Shi was dumbfounded.

Who has ever seen a concubine serving in Beijing to catch the exam?

Taking advantage of this chaos, the bride led Xin'er out of the west house.

The mother and daughter came to the outer third room, knelt down in the courtyard, and the bride cried, "If there is no big man, I'm afraid that our new son's life will be in the west room." ”

"We can't repay Lao An and Da Lang for saving their lives as cattle and horses." The bride said and kowtowed three times in a row.

Lao An had already learned about this matter from Gu Mengping, and was very embarrassed about what happened to their mother and daughter, so he hurriedly asked Jiamu to help them up.

The bride knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again, "Ask Lao An for mercy, and allow me and Xin'er to wait close at home, so that our mother and daughter can repay Lao An's great kindness." ”

Lao An hesitated slightly, and Gu Mengping had already persuaded beside him: "I heard that Xin'er's uncle has never been close to Xin'er's mother, and it is five hundred miles away from here, if grandmother doesn't accept them, they really have nowhere to go." Gu Mengping sighed as he spoke.

Lao An is the most soft-hearted, and he can't listen to the sad things of other people's families, so he quickly nodded a few times after listening to his grandson's words.

In this case, the bride has changed her words and called Lao Anren the old housewife.

In this way, the bride led the new child to live in the outer three rooms.

Xin'er is very diligent, and the bride is also a neat person, who gets up early every day to clean the yard and make breakfast without waiting for Jiamu to get up. After making breakfast, he dismantled and washed all the bedding on the old monk's bed, and took it to the sun in the courtyard.

After drying up, the mother and daughter spread out a mat in the courtyard, spread the bedding on top and carefully sewed and covered.

On the second day, he began to clean up Lao Anren's house again......

However, after four or five days, the entire outer three rooms have a new look inside and out.

On this day, Gu Mengping was reading a book in the study, and the bride walked in lightly.

"Da Lang, the Lin Mansion of Hexing Town sent someone to spread the word, saying that Miss Xiao will arrive later."

Lin Mansion? What a decent person that is. Don't look at Sui Ping's Gu clan's brilliance, but it's not enough for the Lin Mansion to see. The backstage of the Lin Mansion is the Governor of Jiliao! A great official of the first product.

It's just that this Miss Xiao doesn't know if it's the governor's family......

At the thought of being able to receive the family of the Governor of Jiliao, the bride only felt honored.

"Miss Xiao? How did she come? Gu Mengping put down the scroll in his hand and showed a surprised expression.
