Chapter 56: A Chance Encounter
After Gu Zheng heard this, he finally suddenly realizedβββ it turned out that the little prince and the third young master Liang were the golden beetle son-in-law in the eyes of Mrs. Luo and others! No wonder Cen Sanniang suddenly had no time to get angry with her, it turned out that she was busy dressing up and looking for opportunities to meet young talents!
It's just Cen Sanniang, how old are they?!
Except for Cen Yuanniang, who has already been married, the eldest Cen Erniang is only twelve years old! A twelve-year-old girl knows how to hook up with handsome guys......
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The girls in ancient times were really precocious and unrestrained!
After Gu Zheng sighed, he listened to the gossip of the spoon for a while, and felt a little tired and wanted to take a nap, but Gu Zheng asked the spoon to make the bed for her, so he heard the spoon come in with a smile and said: "Girl, the sixth girl has come to see you, do you want to invite her in, or are you already asleep?" β
This Cen Liuniang has always been timid and cowardly, Gu Zheng is almost certain that if she doesn't give her a chance to visit the patient, she is afraid that she will never dare to go to Tingquan Courtyard to disturb her in the future.
Therefore, in order not to frighten Cen Liuniang, Gu Zheng could only dispel the idea of taking a nap, got up and welcomed her to the left wing, and after the two of them sat down on the Venus Xiaoye Rosewood Beauty Couch at will, Gu Zheng asked curiously while serving tea: "How could the sixth sister come to me with time?" Didn't the elders order a few sisters to accompany a few distinguished guests who came to visit the house? β
Because the Cen family has no other young master except for Cen Qilang's little radish head, and the people who came to visit this time are all relatives who turn around, they can barely be regarded as the brothers of several girls in Cen Mansion. Therefore, when they came to be guests, several girls from Cen Mansion had to go out to accompany them, which was regarded as a hospitality between peers.
Of course, this move is also in line with the intentions of Mrs. Luo and others, after all, as long as a few girls in Cen Mansion and those young talents have a reason to stay together, then they have the hope of developing into a couple!
Gu Zheng originally thought that Cen Liuniang would accompany Cen Yuanniang and them, but she didn't expect that she would come to visit her "patient" at this time, and her face was full of curiosity for a while, which made Cen Liuniang, who was already a little timid and shy, blushing immediately, lowered her head and wrung her handkerchief for a while, and then replied weakly: "Madame asked me to come...... Mrs. said that sister, you are sick, and it is boring to stay alone in the house, so I don't have to call a few brothers to come and talk to my sister to relieve my boredom. β
When Cen Liuniang spoke, Gu Zheng kept looking at her intently, seeing that her lips were like cherry blossoms, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, and when she frowned slightly, she was both charming and boneless, and she was glamorous, and she also showed a bit of pity and pity, which was quite a bit of Sister Lin's demeanor, which made people can't help but have an urge to take care of her.
Such a beautiful and moving Cen Liuniang made Gu Zheng suddenly realize that he understood the meaning of Mrs. Luo's sending Cen Liuniang to listen to Quanyuanβββ this Cen Liuniang is the best among the girls in Cen Mansion, and although Cen Liuniang always puts on a timid and shy appearance on weekdays, and always hides behind several sisters in a very low-key manner, she still can't hide her brilliance, so that everyone's eyes will always subconsciously linger on her.
Gu Zheng guessed that it was precisely because Cen Liuniang was born as beautiful as a flower that Mrs. Luo would find an excuse to support her to Tingquan Courtyard and not let her hang out in front of several young talents, lest Cen Liuniang steal the limelight of Mrs. Luo's own three daughters and hook the souls of those sons......
After figuring out Cen Liuniang's situation of being strictly guarded by Mrs. Luo, Gu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for her, so in order not to make Cen Liuniang feel down, Gu Zheng quickly ordered Spoon Er to take the vice Go over, and affectionately pulled Cen Liuniang to play chess together: "Sixth sister, don't care about the sisters and young masters outside, we sisters have fun for themselves...... Is it okay for my sister to play two games with me? β
Cen Liuniang bit her red lip lightly when she heard this, and said weakly with a red face: "I...... I'm not good at chess, I'm afraid I'll spoil my sister's interest. β
Gu Zheng didn't have the slightest interest in the very complicated Go, the reason why she asked people to take the chessboard and chess pieces of Go was just to play the favorite five-in-a-row chess with Cen Liuniang in her previous life.
The way to play this backgammon is much simpler than Go, and Gu Zheng is also confident that he will immediately teach Cen Liuniang: "It's okay, we don't play Go, let's play relatively simple backgammon," Gu Zheng said and pointed to the two of them with a smile, and encouraged Cen Liuniang with them as an example: "The two sisters of Spoon and Zhen'er didn't know how to play this backgammon before, but as soon as I taught them, they learned it immediately, and now they play better than me!" β
Cen Liuniang heard of the "backgammon" for the first time, so she was quickly attracted to attention and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister Gu, how to play this backgammon?" Is it also a chessboard and chess pieces for Go? β
"Yes, the rules are actually very simple, we each hold a color of chess pieces, put the chess pieces on the chessboard at will, whoever first connects the five chess pieces held by himself in a row, then whoever wins the other party......" Gu Zheng said and took the lead in taking a white piece and fell into it, and looked at Cen Liuniang with an encouraging face after falling: "I'm done, it's your sixth sister." β
Cen Liuniang bit her lip and thought for a while, and finally picked up a black spot and gently landed next to the white child that Gu Zheng had fallen before, and asked a little hesitantly: "Sister Gu, I fell like this...... Right? β
Gu Zheng dropped a piece on the grid next to his own chess pieces, and praised Cen Liuniang without hesitation: "That's not wrong at all, you know how to block my way, and you can teach me!" β
As soon as Cen Liuniang was praised by Gu Zheng, she was immediately encouraged, and immediately landed another piece next to the black chess piece that was also herself, and the two of them played backgammon without hurry...... It's just that Cen Liuniang has just tried it and is not very familiar with it, so she lost several games to Gu Zheng at the beginning, and it was not until the last game that she barely won Gu Zheng once.
This game, Cen Liuniang immediately liked this unique backgammon, and every day after that, she ran to Tingquan Courtyard, or pulled Gu Zheng or pulled a spoon and others to play backgammon with her, like a child excited and playing.
After playing like this for a few days, Cen Liuniang slowly became familiar with Gu Zheng and Spoon and others, and when she came to listen to Quanyuan again, she was not as restrained as she was at the beginning, and when she saw Gu Zheng, she no longer called her "Sister Gu" politely, but followed Cen Yuanniang to affectionately call Gu Zheng "Sister Wanwan".
And after Gu Zheng and Cen Liuniang got along for a few days, they slowly realized that she was a quiet personality, kind-hearted, and always a shy and shy little girl, which was very different from the rest of the girls, and she was even more timid than the maids around the girls. This kind of Cen Liuniang makes people very comfortable to get along with, and it also makes Gu Zheng's younger sister look like a big sister, and she always can't help but take care of Cen Liuniang as a little sister.
Let's not talk about how Gu Zheng and Cen Liuniang get along, but say that Gu Zheng has been stuffy in the house since he said that he was sick and avoided Cen Sanniang, and after a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the bright sunshine outside, so on this day, Gu Zheng saw that the sun was shining outside and the fragrance was wafting everywhere, so he was interested in pulling the spoon and others to the garden to enjoy the flowers.
Because he knew that there were a few distinguished guests in the house to live in, Gu Zheng deliberately chose a more remote and quiet path to walk when he went out to visit the garden, and also chose the northwest corner farthest from the main house and the front yard to walk, and chose the place where no one visited on weekdays to walk slowly to enjoy the flowers, so as not to accidentally meet the distinguished guests in the house and cause some unnecessary trouble.
Gu Zheng walked aimlessly in the quiet garden under the warm sunlight, walked and walked to a winding corridor, and walked along the corridor to a pavilion built by the pond to sit. This pavilion is built near the water, and is surrounded by a curved railing gooseneck, so that Gu Zheng can comfortably lean his back against the railing.
The spoon that accompanied Gu Zheng out saw that on the sparkling water, a few red and white carp could be faintly seen swinging their tails and playing, so he smiled and proposed: "Girl, why don't I go and get some fish food for you to play with the fish?" β
Gu Zheng was lazily leaning on the railing to enjoy the unique tranquility of the afternoon, listening to the spoon's words and only nodded casually, and only after the spoon left quickly did she turn around and lie on the railing, slightly leaning her little face out, squinting her eyes comfortably, letting the oblique sunlight shine in bits and pieces on her little face, so that her face was dyed with a faint golden light, and also made her whole body be warm.
There is the sunshine scattered like broken gold on Gu Zheng's body, and there is the breeze with the fragrance of flowers passing through the pavilion and circling beside Gu Zheng, and everything around him makes Gu Zheng feel comfortable from the inside out......
It's a pity that Gu Zheng's ease and leisureliness were soon broken by a burst of footsteps from far and near, and the footsteps sounded calm and powerful, and sounded unhurried, which was obviously different from the hurried small steps of the spoon on weekdays...... After realizing that the person who came was not a spoon, Gu Zheng immediately subconsciously opened his eyes and looked, but at this look, he saw a pair of eyes that radiated a faint light like obsidian.
