Chapter 62: Can't Eat Dinner
After finally listening to their horns, Gu Nian's hungry stomach began to scream, she hurriedly accompanied her father to send away a few VIPs, and then went back to her small courtyard to find food.
Qiu Tong trotted over: "What's wrong, Miss?" ”
"Did the kitchenette prepare dinner? Let's get some food, I'm so hungry! Seeing Qiu Tong was like seeing a relative, and she hurriedly said to Qiu Tong.
"Miss, there's nothing to eat in the kitchen!" Qiu Tong replied seriously.
"How can you still go without food? I'm only getting married tomorrow, and these people won't be serving today! Gu Nian pretended to be angry and said, "Hurry up and get me something to eat." ”
"Miss, my aunt has a rule that she can't eat tonight, I'm afraid that if you eat too much, you will be edema tomorrow!" Qiu Tong pulled Gu Nian to a corner of the garden and whispered.
Looking at Qiu Tong's cautious appearance, Gu Nian not only lowered her voice, but also wanted to play spy games with her.
"What aunt? Where's the aunt? Is there an uncle? What about the eldest nephew? Gu Nian quipped.
"Oh, I said Miss! Don't be funny! It's the amber aunt from the palace! Qiu Tong looked at his young lady with an innocent face, and he was particularly anxious.
Not long after the young lady went out, an aunt from the palace came to the courtyard, who looked very old, and was accompanied by two palace maids dressed as people, with a serious and unsmiling face. First, he took himself to check the things he would bring with him tomorrow, and then he lectured himself and a few girls in the courtyard who were married.
This aunt was personally sent by Steward Fang, and she looked like a senior aunt in the palace, and even Steward Fang called her an honorific title.
"What amber you sell gold and silver jewelry! Wait... Aunt Amber?! Before she was halfway through her words, Gu Nian reacted, and she exclaimed, "It can't be the Amber aunt next to the Queen Mother, right?" I heard that she will be with me tomorrow, but why did she come tonight? ”
She had learned the power of these old ladies before, and she said in her heart that she didn't let people live a little more down-to-earth in the last night.
Qiu Tong sighed and said pitifully: "My aunt said that the Queen Mother heard a few days ago that the third lady of the Gu family was acting a little out of line, and she was afraid that she would delay the auspicious time, so she asked her to come and serve tonight." ”
"......" Gu Nian was a little speechless, not only hated these innocent citizens and friends outside.
"Why didn't I see her in the antechamber? It stands to reason that she has such a noble status, and her father can't be well received? Gu Nian asked curiously.
"It is said that this aunt came in the afternoon, and the master received it, and then she proposed to go and see the things that will accompany her tomorrow, those things are basically piled up in the warehouse, and she is accompanied by Steward Fang throughout the whole process." Qiu Tong replied.
Gu Nian sighed.
"Miss, don't eat, rest early, I'll get up at the beginning of tomorrow." Qiu Tong continued to comfort, "You can eat a little breakfast after you get up, after all, Ming'er may not be able to eat for a day, and maybe you can eat some in the evening." ”
Yin Shi ..... Gu Nian took his fingers and calculated, Zi Chou Yin Mao, one hour is equivalent to two modern hours, Zi Shi is from eleven o'clock in the night to one o'clock in the morning of the next day, ugly is one to three o'clock, isn't it three o'clock in the morning? !
How many hours can I sleep now? ….
Gu Nian not only stroked his chest with his hand and tried to comfort himself, getting married like this, getting married like this, the last time a college classmate got married, I heard that I had to get up at three o'clock to put on makeup, why mess up.
Wait, what is the first moment of Yinzheng? Gu Nian was a little incomprehensible, if Yin Chu was three o'clock in the morning, Yin Zheng should be four o'clock in the morning. Great, great, and an extra hour of rest.
Getting married doesn't make people sleep enough, not to mention how ugly it is with big dark circles.
"Hey!"
Life is not easy, Gu Nian sighed.
She nodded compromisedly, and subconsciously looked up, only to find that the sunset at dusk burned the entire sky like fire, and the clouds like fish scales were like smoke and mist, enveloping the sunset.
The most beautiful is the sunset red, this joint book is here to see me off, Gu Nian thought.
She tilted her head for a long time as if she was curing cervical spondylosis, and only came back slightly when her head was a little dizzy.
"Then if you don't eat it, what else should you pay attention to?" Gu Nian said angrily, in life, how can there be anything that goes according to your heart? Isn't it just that you don't eat a meal, you don't die of hunger, isn't it just getting up early in the morning, and you often have it when you're with the group, it's all a trivial matter.
"No, miss." Qiu Tong replied seriously, she felt that her young lady seemed to have become very good at talking.
People, to know that they are always happy. Gu Nian soothed his own heart, trying to ignore the rumbling of his stomach.
Is hunger the original sin? No, poverty is the original sin.
As a rich woman who is about to emerge in Xijing City, Gu Nian feels that she should try to make less trouble for herself in some small things.
Eventful.
She patted Qiu Tong's shoulder heroically, then showed a smile that made others wonder why, and strode towards the bedroom.
Leaving Qiu Tong alone stunned in place.
The fallen leaves in mid-autumn were trampling all over the ground, Gu Nian took a confident and vigorous step, like a national first-class athlete walking towards the podium, she didn't go straight to the bedroom, so she took advantage of the kung fu that the rockery could block herself, and went straight to the small kitchen.
No matter how deep the inner struggle was, she still couldn't resist the physical torture in the end.
She hurriedly hunched over and whispered to the kitchen.
Because I didn't have to cook today, the fire in the small kitchen didn't start, and even the people inside were gone.
Gu Nian looked at this cold pot and cold stove a little self-contained.
"Miss!" Qiu Tong sighed helplessly behind her, she knew that it was not so simple when her young lady promised to be happy, which was the same problem as ever.
She didn't have to follow her young lady around the rockery in the yard, she waited directly at the door of the small kitchen and waited for an appointment.
Gu Nian was startled, after all, she was punctured, and she was embarrassed to look at Qiu Tong and smile embarrassedly.
"Miss, if you're hungry, I'll ask the kitchen boy to make something, but we must not let that Amber aunt find out." Qiu Tong sighed, no matter what, she must still be towards her master.
Gu Nian nodded frantically like a seal, and Qiu Tong hurriedly trotted to the backyard where the next person lived.
Just after a boring cup of tea, Gu Nian can be regarded as waiting for Qiu Tong and the cook Xiaoquan.
That Xiao Quan bowed his head and said hello to Gu Nian, he bent over, making it difficult to see his face, but the voice made Gu Nian feel a little familiar.
He quickly lit a fire and began to wash vegetables and chop meat, without saying a word in the process.
Smoke gradually began to rise from the roof, but this would not have been noticed by ordinary people if they did not look closely.
Qiu Tong was timid, but he was still worried that he would be discovered by Aunt Amber from the palace, so he left Gu Nian and Xiao Quan, who was cooking, in the kitchen, and went back to the house to greet Aunt Amber.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to ask Xiaoquan to cook more and serve Aunt Amber some food.
Although it may be that Aunt Amber had eaten it before she came.
