Chapter 2: Chapter 3 of the Covenant
Chapter 3 of the Covenant?
Qin Zheng glanced at her, wanting to see what tricks this woman wanted to play. However, the red candles in the room were burning, and a few shadows were reflected on her face, which actually covered her expression cleanly.
Only those eyes seemed to be a little darker than the night outside the window.
"Say."
Gu Jiu took a deep breath and explained the plans he had made before: "It's very simple, distance, etiquette, and scale. This year, you and I can't get along too much, not too politely, and not too much. If you have anything to ask of me, I will do my best, as long as it is not excessive. ”
This meant to draw a clear line, but it looked quite serious, Qin Zheng glanced at her, and knocked on the table with his knuckles: "But." ”
After getting Qin Zheng's promise, Gu Jiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She walked quickly to the table, wrote a serious agreement, and handed it to him: "Then bother the prince to sign it." ”
Seeing that even the date of Heli had been written on it, Qin Zheng didn't bother to guess whether she wanted to retreat or have other plans, so she took the pen and wrote her name on it, and asked, "What else, let's talk about it together." ”
If the impression of her before marriage was obsession, then at this time another item was added, verbose.
When Gu Jiu's goal was achieved, there was nothing else to ask for: "Thank you for the success, the night is late, you can go to bed early." ”
Just before the words came out, she felt a little ambiguous, bit her lip, and said: "Don't worry, although I am a merchant girl, I also know the truth of a promise." If you don't provoke you, you will never go back on your word. This month, you have been wronged to live in the same room with me, the bed belongs to you, and I will go to sleep on the chaise longue. ”
Regardless of whether the newlyweds are in a relationship or not, they need to sleep in the same room for the first month. The girl's worries had already disappeared with her death, Gu Jiu just wanted to stay away from Qin Zheng at this time, and those charming thoughts had already been fed to the dog.
She lowered her eyes, saluted, turned around and walked outside, but was pulled by Qin Zheng.
The man's palm was warm, but when Gu Jiu touched him, he was suddenly frightened and shook it off, and there was a bit of panic and vigilance in his eyebrows: "What do you want to do?" ”
The girl's eyes in front of her were like ink, and the disgust in them was very obvious, which made Qin Zheng frown slightly.
Is he disliked?
Gu Jiu also realized what she had just done, but she couldn't control the knee-jerk reaction, and now she didn't bother to remedy it, so she stretched out her hand very insincerely, and casually found an excuse: "Forgive me, I just ate a snack and didn't wash my hands, I'm afraid of dirty your hands." ”
Her hands were white and delicate, stained with a little crumbs, and the bright peach blossom crisp made her hands white.
Qin Zheng turned his head, suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, frowned, and said, "The bed belongs to you, and I'll go to sleep." ”
It turned out that this was what he meant by pulling himself, and Gu Jiu wanted to say something, but seeing that he guessed his intentions, he added: "It's not a gentleman's job to let you sleep on the couch." ”
Before the words fell, the person had already bypassed the screen and went to the chaise longituna.
The screen of the landscape picture is thin and translucent, and the shadow is sufficient, and the man can be seen lying down with his clothes together.
Gu Jiu stood in place for a moment, and then snorted silently.
Gentleman?
If he Qin Zheng is a gentleman, I am afraid that there will be no wicked people in the world.
But how can the chaise longue have a comfortable bed, Qin Zheng is willing to sleep, what is she trying to stop?
After all, people don't mind, she minds a ghost.
……
After being a ghost for three years and returning to the mortal womb of the flesh, Gu Jiu rarely had a good night's sleep.
When he woke up in the morning, Qin Zheng was no longer in the room, and the chaise longue was cleaned up, and no one could see that the two of them slept separately last night.
Gu Jiu sat on the bed for a while before confirming the fact that he was reborn, and got up to dress up.
After Gu Jiu cleaned up, Qin Zheng also happened to come back from sword practice, and unexpectedly saw the picturesque face in the mirror, his eyes paused before he said, "Let's go." ”
Gu Jiu responded, got up and followed him to Rongchun Hall.
The Ming Mansion has a large population, and the corridor on the mansion is deep, both large and wide, Gu Jiu walked slowly, and Qin Zheng also slowed down.
Gu Jiu followed behind him, walking with him wearing flowers and willows, while looking at Baizhu to give himself a look: "Uncle, this is distressing for you." ”
Baizhu's voice was almost angry, but Gu Jiu couldn't help but slander in his heart when he heard it.
He's used to doing face-to-face work.
In their previous life, they were married for five years, and although he was indifferent, he was silent every day.
He was a perfect husband except that he didn't love her.
At that time, she was stupid, and always thought that it didn't matter if she didn't love her, as long as she was in this position, she could warm his heart one day.
She has been warm for five years, and even a stone has to be warmed.
But it wasn't until after death that she realized that he was not a stone, but a 10,000-year-old cold pool.
She couldn't warm him, so she could only drown herself.
Thinking of the past, Gu Jiu sniffed, and his steps slowed down a little.
But Qin Zheng's voice sounded: "Don't talk less, don't be afraid." ”
He had stopped at some point, and was looking back at her.
Gu Jiu came back to his senses and looked up in surprise, but saw that the other party's expression was indifferent, but that appearance was definitely not bad.
Is he comforting himself?
It's a pity that before Gu Jiu could see his emotions clearly, he saw Qin Zheng walk into the courtyard with his feet raised.
Rongchun Hall has arrived.
The courtyard door was open, and the sound of laughter came out, Gu Jiu listened to those voices that were both familiar and unfamiliar, took a deep breath, and walked in.
The kind old lady in the middle is Mrs. Qin.
The first two, with a sick face, are the Duchess of Mingguo and Qin Zheng's mother-in-law; Sitting next to her was the second lady, Qin Zheng's second aunt; As for the one on the right with flattering smiles in her eyes, it is Qin Zheng's third aunt, but unlike the two on the left, her husband is a concubine and is not favored in the house.
Behind them, standing or sitting, are daughters, daughters-in-law, and juniors.
When the room full of large and small eyes looked over, Gu Jiu couldn't help but pinch his palm, took a deep breath, and saluted the old lady with Qin Zheng: "Say hello to grandmother." ”
In her previous life, her memories were really not good.
In this life, those inquiring, curious, scrutinizing, and even malicious eyes were the same as in the past, so that Gu Jiuqiang endured it to maintain the calm on his face.
"Get up."
Old Madam Qin's voice was particularly kind, but in her previous life, it was also this voice that said to her: "The etiquette of the Ming Mansion is heirloom, and the most important rules are the most. If you have made a mistake, go to your ancestors and reflect on it. ”
It was the second day of her first marriage, and instead of spending it in the new house, she knelt on the cold bluestone floor, facing the tablets of dozens of ancestors of the Qin family, and stayed in the gloomy ancestral hall for a whole day.
Gu Jiu suppressed the thoughts in his heart and saluted dignified again: "Thank you, grandmother." ”
The etiquette is all bad, even compared to those women of the family, they are also not timid.
Old Madam Qin smiled with satisfaction, and the little maid with a lotus-colored dress brought up the tea tray with a smile in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shizi, please give tea to the old lady." ”
Gu Jiu glanced at her quietly, but he didn't pick it up immediately, with a smile on his lips, he turned back to talk to Old Madam Qin: "Before getting married, my daughter-in-law always heard that the Guogong Mansion was the most strictly ruled. ”
Everyone stared at her tea, not wanting her to say such a thing suddenly, Old Madam Qin frowned and asked, "How can you say this?" ”
Gu Jiu didn't answer, just picked up the tea and handed it to Old Madam Qin, the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Grandmother, please drink tea, be careful of scalding." ”
There was a scorching heat on the teacup, which made Old Madam Qin's fingers shrink suddenly, and Gu Jiu took a step back by herself with the action of her retracting hand.
"Smack-"
The tea cup fell to the ground, splashing and soaking her dress, Old Madam Qin was in pain, and she also understood what Gu Jiu meant.
She stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice, "Drag this girl out of the eye!" ”
It was not Gu Jiu who was referring to it, but the little girl who served tea before.
The little girl kowtowed in a panic and begged for mercy, and said in a loud voice: "The old lady forgives her sins, the slave really doesn't know that the tea is hot!" ”
This heat should have been hot the moment Gu Jiu picked up the teacup, but who knew that she insisted on it until the moment it was handed to Old Madam Qin.
It's hot to Old Madam Qin, this matter is a big deal!
In fact, in her previous life, she did throw away the tea cup as soon as she touched it, and she was the only daughter in the Gu family, and she was raised by thousands of pets, and the soup woman in winter had to wrap several layers of brocade, and her fingers couldn't stand a little hardship.
But on the day of the big day, she threw the tea to the elders, to put it mildly, it was disrespectful to the elders, and most of the people in this room were watching the excitement at that time, and finally Mrs. Qin was furious and punished her to go to the ancestral hall to kneel for a day.
Gu Jiu recalled the past, lowered his eyes to cover the coldness in his eyes, and didn't listen to the little girl's words, but said, "Grandmother is wise." ”
Old Madam Qin glanced at her deeply, turned her head to see that the little maid was still kowtowing, and said in a deep voice: "What are you still doing in a daze, dragging people out and scolding her for thirty years!" ”
Seeing that the little maid was dragged out, a beautiful little girl stood up: "Grandmother is merciful." ”
She is about fifteen years old, not tall, petite and petite, with lotus flowers embroidered on her breast-length skirt, and the whole person is full of the words "I see pity".
Gu Jiu followed the prestige, and couldn't help but mock silently.
It turned out to be the great white lotus of the prosperous world.
However, this White Lotus ...... Ah no, Miss Jiang Lianzhi was unconscious, her palm-sized little face was full of unbearability, and she frowned and said: "Grandmother, Jinzhu has served you for many years, and she has worked hard without merit." Moreover, my cousin-in-law has only been in the door for a day, and she has punished loyal servants because of her, and my cousin-in-law's reputation is not very good, don't you say? ”
When she said this, she looked at Gu Jiu again: "Cousin-in-law, although this girl is reckless, but you are a bride, and it is also ungraceful for a maid to be embarrassed like this, so you should be kind and forgive her this time." ”
It's a pity that what she said was sincere, but she couldn't help Gu Jiu and asked sincerely: "Girl, who are you?" ”
