Guo Caiping is the concubine of Guo Chongde, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, ranking second, with a sister-in-law born to a big lady at the top, a third brother born to a big lady and a fourth brother and fifth sister born to a second lady. The eldest lady of Guo Mansion is also the daughter of the Jingguan family, and although the second lady's background is not as good as that of the eldest lady, she is also the daughter of a rich and noble family. Only her mother is different, her mother's biological parents don't know who they are, she was sold to many big families as girls when she was a child, and later she was sold into Guo's mansion not long after, she was pregnant with her, and she reluctantly asked for the position of a third lady.

The status of their mother and daughter in the family is self-evident, from childhood to adulthood, except for the fifth sister who is only six years old and does not know how to bully people, she has suffered the anger of several other brothers and sisters.

Now her face is still a little hot...... When Shen Shi returned home today, when he arrived at home, he found that his sister-in-law Guo Ruier had taken her father-in-law home to visit relatives. Her father-in-law Wu Neng was originally a person who went to Beijing to participate in the scientific examination four years ago, and when he took refuge in the Guo family, the introducer desperately said that he was talented and would definitely be able to go to high school, plus he looked good, so she and Guo Ruier took a fancy to him.

Obviously, she met Wu Neng first, and because she was better looking than Guo Ruier, Wu Neng also had a soft spot for her at the beginning, the two met several times in private, and almost made a private decision for life, but I didn't expect Guo Ruier to snatch love with a knife and tell Wu Neng the life experience of the two of them.

Wu Neng is also a conscienceless, after he knew that Guo Caiping was just the daughter of a girl in the room, and Guo Ruier was the daughter of the eldest lady, he immediately abandoned Guo Caiping. Guo Caiping not only lost her love, but Guo Caiping also took it to those ladies of the family and said it over and over again, saying that she was not self-sufficient and dared to rob her husband with her daughter-in-law, which caused her to be the object of ridicule of the ladies of the Wang clan in the capital to this day.

But Guo Rui'er didn't live as well as she imagined, Wu Neng, who she worked so hard to get, was really as incompetent as his name, and her scientific research name fell to Sun Shan, and she still relied on Guo Chongde's father-in-law to find a small errand to do. In the township examination, it is called lifting, and who knows how many rules there are in the local scientific examination that cannot be understood? Even if he is upright, there are so many people in the entire Dali, Guo Ruier really thinks that he is married to a future champion.

This time the two of them went home, and Wu Neng, who had no interest and no ability to rely on women and father-in-law, was even older and thinner, obviously only two years older than her, but he seemed to be more than ten years older than her, obviously bullied by Guo Ruier.

When the family had dinner, Guo Caiping didn't serve it in order to avoid suspicion, but I didn't expect that after they finished eating, they still met Wu Neng in the backyard, I don't know if he saw Guo Caiping still beautiful as before, or recalled Guo Caiping's gentleness and amiability back then, which was in stark contrast to the tigress in his own family, and even pulled Guo Caiping to confide in his remorse.

happened to be seen by the Guo family's subordinates, and the Guo family's subordinates were also accustomed to seeing the wind and rudder, and immediately brought Guo Rui'er, Guo Rui'er slapped Guo Caiping to the point that her eyes were full of stars, and she kept scolding her for seducing her husband......

Hmph, she married such a useless father-in-law, and she couldn't hold her head up in front of her friends for a long time, so she dared to be powerful in front of her sister-in-law. Wait until you marry a high-ranking official one day, or marry a relative of the emperor...... When the time comes, this slap will be brought back!

Guo Caiping's mother was timid and afraid, so she persuaded Guo Caiping to stay outside for one night, so as not to upset the eldest lady at home, and Guo Caiping could only come out first. Fortunately, Guo Chongde is also a face-saving person, and he will not let people talk about this kind of ugliness casually, so Guo Ruier will talk about it in front of the nobles in the capital in the future. Guo Caiping originally had a bad reputation in their eyes, and she didn't bother to care about this.

That's why Guo Caiping came to Dibao's mansion in the middle of the night, but she didn't expect to see An Ge and Liu Yongxu as soon as she came......

It's a blessing in disguise to think about it. After a while, Guo Caiping entered the side hall, dragged three stools together, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Guo Caiping was awakened by the sound of the steward opening the door, and hurriedly got up, went to the water tank in the courtyard to scoop a spoonful of water, and first went to the compartment behind the side hall to put on makeup and coil her hair. She didn't have time to change her clothes last night, it was the height of summer at this time, and after a night, it was inevitable that there would be some unpleasant smells, so she had to pick up the incense powder and sprinkle half a bottle on herself...... Although the taste was too strong, she couldn't smell the unpleasant smell, and after doing this, she Shi Shiran walked out and sat back in her seat.

After a while, An Ge and Liu Pingle came over talking and laughing, Guo Caiping touched her hungry stomach, she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon, she hesitated for a moment, and then turned back to Liu Pingle and said, "Pingle, did you use it too early?" ”

Liu Pingle shook his head: "No, I'm going to buy steamed buns, do you want to go together?" ”

"You can also bring me some when you go." Guo Caiping said naturally.

When An Ge heard this, he raised his head and looked at her: "Will you give money this time?" ”

"......" Guo Caiping was a little annoyed by her, "Didn't you give money for Pingle's food last time?" Besides, it's just a few buns, as for such a big deal? Sure enough, the soil buns in the countryside are picking! ”

Speaking of which...... A few days ago, Liu Yongxu received a reward from the palace and came back to distribute it to everyone, plus the twenty taels that Zhang Lianfeng gave to An Ge, she has already repaid all the money she borrowed from Yu Yuanyuan, Liu Ping didn't want her to pay back, and she didn't even want to collect the rent of the house. But An Ge didn't want to owe others, so he pushed her for a long time, but Liu Pingle still said that he wouldn't accept anything, and he almost got angry...... In the end, An Ge discussed with her that the rent of the house would be paid by one person a month, and as for those who invited An Ge to dinner before, Liu Pingle himself forgot how much money he had, so he asked An Ge to invite her to have a good meal.

This is why An Ge first came to the capital to live in embarrassment, if it were normal times, she would not even borrow money.

An Ge felt that there was no need to explain these things to Guo Caiping, but Liu Ping was unhappy, and said: "I really don't care about that little money, but I invite you to eat steamed buns because I am kind, not because you think that is what I should do." An Ge is not careful, but her hometown is happy to settle accounts. What else is called a dirt bun? Your mouth is too poisonous, isn't it? ”

"Forget it, let's go buy buns first." An Ge pulled Liu Pingle, with this kung fu to quarrel with her here, they had already eaten, and the business of that steamed bun shop was very prosperous, and I didn't know when I would be able to buy it at this time.

"Okay, let's go." Liu Pingle just stood up, and suddenly covered his stomach and said, "Ange, go and help me bring ten buns back, I have a stomachache and I have to go to the thatched house......"

“...... Yes. ”

Guo Caiping was so blocked that she couldn't say a word, and when she saw that the two of them didn't bother with her, she went out one after another, knowing that she couldn't eat this moneyless bun today, so she could only stomp her feet hatefully, and her disgust for An Ge became heavier and heavier.

A moment later, Liu Pingle came back from the thatched house, and saw that Guo Caiping was still the only one in the side hall, so he ignored her, and took out the latest book bought from the book market from his jacket and read it.

Guo Caiping looked back at her several times, and Liu Pingle also noticed it, raised his eyes to look at her, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Guo Caiping hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I wanted to tell you just now...... I had something to do last night and came to Di Bao's house in the middle of the night, and I happened to see An Ge and Master Liu going out from here together, An Ge was still disheveled and his hair was messy...... It was already late at that time, and you said that the two of them were lonely men and widows, what were they doing here? ”

"The wind was so strong last night, and Ange's bun was blown out of some way, so what's the matter? She went to visit the palace during the day, and only had time to go back to the mansion to write articles in the evening, so naturally she had to stay so late, what was there to doubt? ”

Guo Caiping saw that she didn't think in the direction she hinted at, and thought that Liu Pingle didn't understand, so she got up and approached her a little, explaining: "You may be too young to understand...... You change your mind, you and An Ge entered the mansion together, why did Director Liu arrange all the fat to An Ge instead of you? I read your script, it's also very good, how can I be praised for being An Ge instead of you? You're no worse than Ange at all, why can she get so much benefit, and you're just as ...... as us?"

"No, I'm not like you, I don't like to chew people's tongues behind my back." Liu Pingle laughed twice and said, "An Ge is more talented than you who work harder than me, and the idea of writing this script was all from her, shouldn't she be taken seriously?" Do you think that like you, you can get praise from the ladies by saying this bad and that bad all day long behind your back? ”

"You ......" Guo Caiping knew Liu Pingle's background, and originally felt that it was necessary to curry favor with her and provoke her relationship with An Ge casually, but she didn't expect this person to be young and not stupid, not only did she not convince herself, but she was also scolded, Guo Caiping was a little annoyed, and said, "Pingle, I kindly remind you not to get close to this kind of person, if she is really stolen and caught in the future, don't even ruin your reputation at that time!" ”

"Huh." Liu Pingle sneered, "I thank you, but I think it's more important for you to take care of yourself." ”

Guo Caiping turned her head angrily, just at this time An Ge came back with a bun wrapped in oiled paper, Liu Pingle's eyes immediately cooled, rushed over to take it from her hand, and said curiously, "Why did you go for so long this time?" ”

"Don't mention it, I waited for a long time to get to me, and I blame this bun for tasting so good, half of the people in the capital came to line up." An Ge smiled and took one and handed it to her, "Be careful, it's hot." ”

Feng Kee's steamed buns are naturally famous, with thin skin and large filling, and there is a strong fragrant soup in it...... Guo Caiping smelled the fragrance wafting over, and clutched her stomach more and more......

At this time, outside the mansion, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy came to the door with a post, and said to the steward who was sitting at the door with his teeth picking: "Uncle, is there an adult named An Ge here?" ”

The steward nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Someone asked me to send this post to her."

The steward took the post from the little boy's hand, and the boy ran away as fast as he could, and the steward looked down at the name on the post, and jumped up from his chair in fright.
