The mansion where Guo Qing lives now is not in Wuyi Lane, it is still a small mansion given by Guo Qing when he entered the court, which can be regarded as the boundary of the east city, and the distance from the west city is only two streets. However, Guo Qing is now the secretary of the Criminal Department, so Mrs. Guo bought the courtyards on the left and right sides, opened up the courtyard wall and expanded the area of the mansion, which can be regarded as expanding the card.

The blue walls and tiles in front of Gu Wanniang are not like the houses of Chang'an City, but like the courtyards of the land of Dongwu.

The little loach easily pushed open the back door of Guo's mansion, and there was a woman sitting in the courtyard washing clothes in the door, about forty or so, dressed plainly, and she didn't look like a maid in Guo's mansion, but what she was washing in her hands was obviously the clothes of some girls and ladies.

The little loach greeted the woman, "Auntie has come to Guofu to do laundry again." ”

"Yes, thanks to the Bodhisattva-hearted Mrs. Guo, I can provide the king with a study." The woman's face was kind, and when she saw Gu Wanniang, she didn't ask much, but just washed her clothes attentively.

After the Guo Mansion runs through the three courtyards, the area is not small, there are two side courtyards on the left and right, but these two side courtyards are like ordinary civilian courtyards, not the mansions of the government.

Loach: "Unlike Lord Guo, Mrs. Guo is a great and kind person, she opened up two courtyards, one is used to open a school for the master to open a school for the children who have no money, and the other is for the people who work in Guo's mansion to live, and she never dislikes the people, and she divides the errands for the people to go to the steward to get money, and she does not let people become slaves. ”

Gu Fu has no contact with Guo Qing, and he doesn't even know about Guo Mansion with Gu Wanniang, he only knows that Guo Qing's wife doesn't like to deal with each other, and his only daughter is Qingcheng's companion, but he never thought that Mrs. Guo, who didn't like to participate in banquets with women in Chang'an City, was such a kind-hearted person.

Gu Wanniang: "So you can also be regarded as having done something in Guo Mansion?" Do you know Master Guo? ”

Loach shook his head, "I just had a few meals in the side courtyard of Guo Mansion, Lord Guo is busy with official business, he went to the morning court early in the morning, and he didn't return to the house until late at night, not to mention me, he is like a concubine who works in Guo Mansion all year round, and I rarely see Lord Guo." ”

"I have seen Lord Guo say that Lord Guo is not like the legendary cold-faced Yama, but a kind one."

Gu Wanniang and Loach walked towards the main courtyard of Guo Mansion, and before they could reach the main courtyard, they almost bumped into someone, but fortunately Gu Wanniang took a step back before they collided, Gu Wanniang hugged the woman who came in a hurry, and said softly, "Be careful." ”

Guo Ying looked at the 'kid' in front of her, the 'kid' was about the same as her, but she was dressed very refreshingly and cleanly, and when she looked at people, she seemed to suck her into her eyes, and it was the first time that she had seen such a good-looking 'kid' Guo Ying saw it, with a porcelain-white face and fan-like eyelashes, Guo Ying felt that Gu Wanniang was still holding her hand, and her little face flushed, "I'm sorry, I didn't see you coming from the corner." ”

Gu Wanniang felt the blush of the girl in front of her, thinking that she was dressed as a kid now, it was naturally rude to help Guo Ying like this, Gu Wanniang hurriedly let go of Guo Ying's hand, and she also regretted it a little.

Guo Ying recognized the loach, "Who is the loach?" ”

"Big girl, this is the apprentice brought by Brother Da Niu."

"I've seen Miss Guo." Hearing Gu Wanniang's deliberately lowered voice, Guo Ying not only liked Gu Wanniang's delicate little face as a woman, but also liked Gu Wanniang's voice that was better than a bird.

Guo Ying muttered, "It turned out to be a little bricklayer." Since such a good-looking 'kid' is just a bricklayer, Guo Ying is naturally a little disappointed, but soon she became interested in Gu Wanniang again, she looked at Gu Wanniang and said: "Little bricklayer, Brother Da Niu is in the firewood room next to the West Wing, you can write it quickly." ”

Guo Ying was still a little reluctant to say goodbye to Gu Wanniang, and looked back at Gu Wanniang several times, until Gu Wanniang disappeared in front of her, and Guo Ying came to Mrs. Guo.

"You girl, what do you think, so distracted?" Mrs. Guo scratched Guo Ying's nose and doted on Guo Ying's hand.

"Mother, I just saw a very good-looking boy, but unfortunately he is only a bricklayer's apprentice."

Mrs. Guo smiled, "My girl has grown up, and she actually likes other people's boys." ”

"Mother, don't talk nonsense, I just think that the apprentice is very good-looking and has a good voice, but he looks small, maybe he is a little young."

"You're not yet thirteen, but you're too young to dislike others."

Guo Ying was teased by Mrs. Guo, glanced at Mrs. Guo, and coquettishly looked at Mrs. Guo, "Mother ......"

"Didn't you go to study with Princess Qingcheng today? How did you run back in such a hurry? ”

Guo Ying: "Mother doesn't know, now that Taifu Muxiu is at home, when do I need to accompany Princess Qingcheng to study?" "Besides, even in normal times, Guo Ying was selected by the Emperor Taishang to study in Qingcheng, and Qingcheng didn't like to read, and the Taifu couldn't control it, so it was usually the Taifu who gave her lessons, not to mention that Qingcheng was two years older than her.

"I came back in a hurry today because I heard the little eunuch in the palace say that my father is going to enter the cabinet, which is the will of His Royal Highness King Qin."

Hearing the good news, Mrs. Guo's face was not good-looking, and seeing this, Guo Ying asked, "Isn't it good for my father to serve in the cabinet?" Why is my mother unhappy? ”

"Your father was promoted by the King of Qin and just became a scholar, and now he has entered the cabinet, the King of Qin who is inevitably attached to him may be obvious, so it is inevitable that the people in the court will be jealous, how can the emperor's favor be so good?"

"Mother doesn't have to worry, my father is not afraid of shadows, who in the court doesn't know that my father has today's achievements, and my father has done it one by one?" The daughter has a big heart, and Mrs. Guo didn't say much, so naturally Guo Qing had Guo Qing's own ideas.

Guo Ying ate the pastries on Mrs. Guo's table, thought it was delicious, and served it.

"What are you going to do with your plate?"

The daughter thought it was very delicious, and thought of sending some to the little bricklayer.

Seeing her daughter so attentive, Mrs. Guo shook her head again and again, "Why don't you know how to be reserved?" ”

"The mother taught, but the daughter didn't think so."

Guo Ying's little head shook her head like a rattle, "My daughter just likes that little bricklayer, since she likes it, she has to take the initiative, this is what the father and daughter said, and it was the father who licked her face and pursued her mother." ”

Her daughter is a pungent heart, and Mrs. Guo is not annoyed, so she just asked Guo Ying to take all the dishes on the table with her, and don't just give it to the little bricklayer and lose the benefits of others.

In the end, he also gave Guo Ying a food box, saying that with Guo Ying's heart, holding two plates of pastries, the plates must be broken.
