Chapter Twenty-Seven: Befriending
Gu Zheng was afraid that Gu Liniang would feel disgusted when she found out, so she explained in a timely manner: "Don't be afraid, mother, the water here is still clean, and I haven't washed my pen yet...... You should be fine if you drink it, at most it will be a stomach upset. β
Fortunately, Gu Liniang has always been very arrogant and doesn't care much about these things, so as soon as she heard that there would be no big deal, she immediately said disapprovingly: "Just eat the dead!" What are you little girls laughing at? I look at this wash and it looks better than a cup, and there's nothing wrong with using it for tea! β
After Gu Liniang finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Cen Sanniang and them, but carefully picked up the big characters written by Gu Zheng, pretended to look at them seriously, and read them with relish......
Gu Zheng actually didn't want to dismantle Gu Liniang's stage in front of Cen Sanniang and the others, but as soon as she saw Gu Liniang looking at the words she wrote, she couldn't help but burst out of her mouth: "Mother, you ...... the words written on it." Recognize? β
Gu Liniang replied calmly: "I don't recognize it." β
Gu Zheng listened to the black lines on his head and asked, "Then what are you looking at?" β
"Can't I take a look?" Gu Liniang replied loudly, and then continued proudly: "Although I don't know these words, I can see that they are very beautifully written!" β
Hearing this, Gu Zheng glanced at Gu Liniang silently, and after turning the paper in a different direction for her, he said lightly: "Oh, I just want to tell youβββ you took the paper upside down." β
Cen Yuanniang saw that Gu Liniang took the paper upside down but still watched it with relish, and suddenly wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, but she wanted to laugh because she thought Gu Liniang had a simple and interesting temperament, not to laugh at Gu Liniang, unlike Cen Sanniang and the others, who laughed with contempt and sarcasm from beginning to end.
Cen Yuanniang didn't want Gu Liniang to be ridiculed by Cen Sanniang again, so she slowly walked to Gu Liniang's side and changed the topic with a smile: "Why did my aunt suddenly want to go to the school?" But do you want to come and see how Sister Gu went to school on her first day? β
As soon as Gu Liniang heard this, she immediately nodded her head again and again like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes, yes!" This is the first time she has gone to school, and I can't rest assured, so I made a special trip to let Zhen'er take me over to have a look! Big girl, you are a big sister, but you have to help your sister, don't let her be bullied! β
Cen Yuanniang knew that Gu Liniang had done a lot of work in her family, and she never treated people with prejudices, so she also had a little respect for Gu Liniang that others did not have...... Besides, Sister Gu is smart herself, and Mr. Lin just praised her! β
When Gu Liniang heard this, her face was full of joy: "Really? Hello, did the gentleman praise you? β
Because he recognized the surnames on the first page of "Hundred Family Names" and was praised by Mr. Lin, Gu Zheng felt that this was not something to be proud of and show off, but Gu Liniang was ecstatic and looked like she had won the top prize......
Gu Zheng boasted that he had lived two lives and had cultivated thicker than others, but in the face of Gu Liniang's exaggerated praise that was several times greater, Gu Zheng still decisively chose to drag Gu Liniang out of Wutong Garden, on the grounds that Mr. Lin was about to come back to continue teaching, so he persuaded Gu Liniang to leaveβββ Gu Liniang didn't leave, Gu Zheng estimated that she would rush over to hug her thighs and ask for an autograph after seeing Mr. Lin!
However, it was said that Cen Yuanniang was the oldest among the girls, and she had already made a marriage, so Mrs. Tai allowed her not to go to school anymore, but to arrange her own time, or embroider a dowry or learn how to take care of a housekeeper from Mrs. Luo.
However, Cen Yuanniang had already learned housekeeping before, and she usually did needlework when she had nothing to do, so the dowry was almost embroidered, so she was so idle that she would go to school with the girls on time every day.
However, although Cen Yuanniang no longer reads by herself, she remembers that she has responded to Gu Liniang's affairs, and quietly helps Gu Zheng open a small stove every day, and when Mr. Lin was busy explaining "Female Commandments" and "Female Training" to several other girls, she quietly taught Gu Zheng to read and write, and offered to try her best to help Gu Zheng keep up with everyone's progress, at least not to let Gu Zheng fall too far behind.
Cen Yuanniang was grateful to Gu Liniang for her help in family affairs, and she really treated Gu Zheng differently and sincerely helped Gu Zheng adapt to the life of Cen Mansion, and taught Gu Zheng all kinds of experience to Gu Zheng, hoping to narrow the gap between Gu Zheng and several other girls in the house as soon as possible.
Therefore, in addition to opening a small stove for Gu Zheng in reading and literacy, in the afternoon, when he followed the female gentleman and embroidery to learn needle and female red, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Cen Yuanniang was still very patient to open a small stove for Gu Zheng, especially in embroidery, Cen Yuanniang was very patient to teach Gu Zheng from the beginning, so that Gu Zheng, who could not be as lazy as reading in embroidery, was very moved!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
This day is the day of Mr. Mu Xiu, so that Gu Zheng can sleep happily, but before Gu Zheng has slept enough, Cen Yuanniang led a little boy over to urge Gu Zheng to work hard, and he looked like Gu Zheng was never allowed to be lazy......
Cen Yuanniang entered the back room and saw that Gu Zheng was still sleeping, she shook her head helplessly, and at the same time had the idea of teasing Gu Zheng, so she squatted down and said to her younger brother Cen Qilang with a smile: "Xiao Qi, go, pounce on your sister Gu and wake her up!" Our little seven didn't lie in bed, how could we be a sister and couldn't afford to stay in bed? Shame your sister Gu and say that she is a big lazy pig! β
Cen Qilang, the little bean ding, is only more than two years old this year, he has just learned to walk swayingly, and he can only say a few simple words intermittently, but although he doesn't know what Cen Yuanniang asks him to do, he likes to play with Gu Zheng, his sister.
Therefore, as soon as Cen Yuanniang signaled him to call Gu Zheng up, he immediately ran towards Gu Zheng, and when he arrived at the bed, he climbed on the pedal very numbly, stood on tiptoe, grabbed the tent and hung it crookedly on the side of the bed, and then reached out to pull Gu Zheng's hair and Gu Zheng's face when he hung it steady.
Cen Qilang grabbed it for a long time and saw that Gu Zheng still didn't wake up, so he quickly stretched his little devil's claws into the quilt to ice Gu Zheng...... After freezing a few places, Gu Zheng finally woke up.
As soon as Gu Zheng opened his eyes and saw Cen Qilang's chubby little face, he knew that Cen Yuanniang had come to open a small stove for her on time, and immediately muttered to himself that Cen Yuanniang, the eldest sister, was more dutiful than Mr.......
After muttering a few words, Gu Zheng saw that this bed could no longer be relied on, so he could only stretch his waist in resignation, holding Cen Qilang's fat hand that was messing around and not letting him make it bad again, while sleepy-eyed and coquettish: "Big sister, it's rare for me to have a lazy sleep today, why can't you come back later?" I also sent Xiaoqi out of the horse to disturb my good dreams! Hmph, big sister is so bad! β
Gu Zhengjiao grinned and pretended to be terrifying to scare Cen Qilang: "And you, the little radish head, dare to bully me with your big sister!" Look back and I won't clean you up! β
Gu Zheng said and reached out to scratch Cen Qilang's itch, scratched Cen Qilang to "giggle" and rolled onto Gu Zheng's bed, so that Cen Yuanniang on the side shook her head helplessly, sat down next to the bed, and reached out to scrape the bridge of Gu Zheng's nose: "You little lazy cat!" I've been here half an hour later than usual, and you haven't slept enough, have you? β
Cen Yuanniang and Gu Zheng have been getting along for a month, and because of their similar temperaments, their relationship is gradually closer than others. Therefore, as soon as Cen Yuanniang sat on the edge of the bed, Gu Zheng leaned over and replied aggrievedly: "Not yet!" My dear sister, will you allow me to sleep another hour? Is it okay to sleep for an hour? β
"No! The second sister has already started to read "The Legend of the Martyr", the famous family book, you are still reading the "Three Character Classic", the words written by Mr. Describe, you are not in a hurry, I am still anxious for you! Also, the second sister can embroider things decently according to the pattern, and you will only embroider four different leaves......"
Gu Zheng saw that Cen Yuanniang seemed to be planning to talk endlessly, so he immediately lifted the quilt decisively and got out of bed: "Okay, big sister, don't count me down anymore, can't I get up and work hard?" β
