Chapter 228: Persistence and Paranoia

Gu Wanniang's current outfit can't enter the courtyard of the inner courtyard, so Gu Wanniang stood outside the courtyard gate, waiting for the maid in Mrs. Guo's courtyard to come and spread the word, but after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Gu Wanniang didn't see a messenger.

The laundry aunt was walking into the inner courtyard with some dry clothes, and saw Gu Wanniang at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw Gu Wanniang standing, she said, "Are you here to find Mrs. Guo?" ”

"It's my aunt, I'm waiting for Mrs. Guo's maid to pass the word."

When the aunt saw Gu Wanniang like this, she smiled and said, "There is no maid in front of Mrs. Guo, if you want to find Mrs. Guo, go in and look for it directly." ”

Then the aunt saw that Gu Wanniang was restrained, and it was not easy to take a step, and she knew that it was the rules of some rich families, "You wait here first, and I'll go and pass a message to you." ”

Mrs. Guo is only thirty, but her appearance is still the same as that of her two years, not the same as Guo Qing's father and daughter, Mrs. Guo just sat there and had a calm and relaxed look. The appearance and temperament are all superior, and the dress is neither rich nor rude, no wonder Guo Qingri is busy with his work, but he can still be meticulous in this family, thinking about it, Gu Wanniang not only has an extra layer of importance for Mrs. Guo in front of her.

Gu Wanniang and Mrs. Guo saluted, "Please Mrs. Guo." ”

Mrs. Guo nodded lightly, the etiquette is not bad, and this look has the legacy of the women of the previous dynasty.

When Gu Wanniang was looking at Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Guo was also quietly looking at Gu Wanniang in front of her. There were only Gu Wanniang and Mrs. Guo in the room, Guo Ying was not there, Mrs. Guo picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, Xu felt that the tea was a little cold, so she put down the cup, "Do you know how to make tea?" ”

"I learned some from my husband when I was studying, and if my wife doesn't mind, I can show my clumsiness in front of my wife."

Mrs. Guo looked at Gu Wanniang's skillful tea-making movements, "The movements are good-looking, what are you calling?" ”

"Gu Wan."

"It's a good name, this surname is also a good one, but the gentleman who taught you is the gentleman of the Gu Mansion?"

This Gu Mansion has a habit of summoning the school-age children of the clan to study in the school set up by the Gu Mansion, which is also famous in Chang'an City.

Gu Wanniang was not in a hurry to break up the relationship with the Gu Mansion, and responded to Mrs. Guo's words, "Just like the school set up by Mrs. Guo, I am just a lucky person who got a surname." ”

"Hmm."

During the chat, Gu Wanniang had already warmed up the tea, "Why don't you take the test to become an apprentice?" "At Gu Wanniang's age, it is obvious that she can gain fame, why did she give up halfway to be this apprentice, Rao also feels wronged if she wants to.

"Although I am a reader, but I am not good at exams, I have only been admitted to the examination for three years, and this year's show talent will not be able to pass the exam." Gu Wanniang said seriously, coupled with his firm but stubborn gaze, she really looked like a teenager.

Mrs. Guo didn't blame Gu Wanniang for being a lack of confidence, but said, "You want to be a scholar for Master Guo?" "89 Library

Gu Wanniang didn't clearly say that she wanted to be a scholar for Master Guo, but with Mrs. Guo's intelligence, she naturally guessed it.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I heard that being a scholar for Lord Guo can get half a tael of silver a month."

"Guo Fu has always not invited maids, even the scholar housekeeper is also very low in monthly silver, if you are an apprentice to Da Niu, how can you be afraid that you will not have enough silver for a month if you are cooked?"

"And Lord Guo has always had a lot of chores, he is not a scholar of a rich and noble family, he is only responsible for running errands and grinding."

Gu Wanniang: "Since Master Guo is famous, at my current age, it is my third life to be able to follow such an adult." ”

This reason is passable, Mrs. Guo responded to Gu Wanniang's words, asked her to wait first, and then took her to meet Master Guo in the future.

As soon as Gu Wanniang left on the front foot, Guo Ying ran into the house, seeing Guo Ying in such a hurry, there was sweat on her forehead, "Why are you running in such a hurry, but someone will be chasing you in the future?" ”

"Mother is making fun of me again."

"What about the little bricklayer?"

"Gone." When Guo Ying heard that Gu Wanniang had come to Mrs. Guo's place, she hurriedly ran back from Master Guo's study, but she still pounced.

Mrs. Guo saw her daughter's little face drooping, "Aren't you going to pester your father?" How do you remember my mother? ”

"I just left my mother with my front foot, and he came with his back foot, and when I came again, he went again, did he avoid me?" Guo Ying was not angry, she suddenly remembered Qingcheng's handwriting, and said in her heart: What if this little bricklayer hides from herself? How did Cheng Yu not hide from Princess Qingcheng at the beginning? If the little bricklayer hides again next time, she will come to the little bricklayer.

"My mother had just seen the little bricklayer, but she asked him what his name was, and where he lived."

Mrs. Guo took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Guo Ying's forehead, "I didn't ask these questions, I just asked him where he came from and why he came to Guo's mansion." ”

Mrs. Guo did not tell Guo Ying Gu Wanniang's surname and pseudonym, because Guo Fu was at least a party of King Qin and a military general, and Gu Shizi was a minister under King Qin.

Seeing Guo Ying so persistent, Mrs. Guo frowned without frowning, "You have just looked at him, why are you so persistent?" ”
