Chapter Twenty-Eight: Urging Marriage
When I returned to the house, it was already four o'clock in the unitary hour, and it was almost time.
As soon as Gu Nianjiao entered the room, she fell on the couch, face down, and as soon as Qingyang entered the room, she was pulled by Bai Zang to ask about the situation.
Gu Nianjiao felt that she was going to starve to death, "Zhu Lu! I want to eat! Hurry up and let people eat! β
Zhu Lu said with a smile on the side: "Yes, miss." The slave and maid will arrange it. β
"Go, go, go." Gu Nianjiao waved her hand weakly, and she still didn't want to move when she was spread out on the couch.
It's just that some people don't have the eyesight to see it, so they come up to scold.
"Miss." Bai Zang came up with a courteous face, and gave her another beating of her arms and legs.
Gu Nianjiao narrowed her eyes comfortably: "Well, yes, that's it, work harder." β
Under her guidance, Bai Zang worked harder and harder, "Miss, is this strength okay?" β
"Well, you can..." Gu Nianjiao was a little drowsy. The reward that the young lady promised me earlierβ" Bai Zang smiled heavily.
But I didn't see Gu Nianjiao respond for a long time, but when I saw it, the girl was lying on the couch, her eyes were closed, her breathing was calm, and she was sleeping soundly.
Bai Zang suddenly cried with a face, what about the trust between people?
Zhu Lu came in and saw this scene, so he thought about going to tell the small kitchen not to serve food first.
Just as she was about to turn back to the small kitchen, Bai Zang ran to her and said with a look of grievance: "Sister Zhu Lu, Miss doesn't talk much." β
Zhu Lu smiled, looked at her and quipped, "Why doesn't Miss talk anymore?" β
"Miss said she would give me a reward." Bai Zang lowered his head and pinched the hem of his clothes, drooping his head.
Zhu Lu snorted: "Miss is tired, maybe she will wake up and give you a reward." β
"Really?" Bai Zang suddenly perked up, raised his head and looked at Zhu Lu expectantly.
Zhu Lu didn't dare to guarantee it, so he vaguely diverted the topic: "The small kitchen is a little too busy, I'll go and see it first." β
With that, he turned around and walked out.
Bai Zang followed behind her, "Sister Zhu Lu, tell me, is it true?" β
Zhu Lu's footsteps became faster and faster, and who expected Bai Zang to follow closely behind her.
Qingyang saw that they were walking away, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he shook his head helplessly, reached out and took the blanket from the side, covered Gu Nianjiao gently, took off her shoes again, put her whole person on the couch, covered the blanket tightly, and then walked out lightly.
After a quarter of an hour, Zhu Lu gently pushed Gu Nianjiao's shoulder: "Miss, Miss, wake up." β
Gu Nianjiao slowly woke up, "Well, what's wrong?" "When I woke up, I found that my chest was pressing a little painfully.
Hurriedly turned around, lay flat on the couch, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, looking sleepy-eyed.
"Miss, you've been asleep for a quarter of an hour, and if you sleep again, you won't be able to sleep at night." Zhu Lu said when he heard it.
Gu Nianjiao snorted and was about to get up, but Zhu Lu hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
"What time is it?" It was getting late, and candles were lit in the house.
Zhu Lu put on her shoes and replied respectfully: "It's already one o'clock, and it's going to be two o'clock." β
Gu Nianjiao nodded, yawned, and some tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, "Let's set the meal, I'm too hungry." β
"Yes, miss." Zhu Lu poured her a cup of tea, then turned around and walked out.
Gu Nianjiao's middle finger and thumb carried the edge of the teacup, slowly shaking the cup, not knowing what she was thinking, her expression was a little inexplicable.
Suddenly, his eyebrows were raised, and there was a bit of spring between his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and in the end, the smile became bigger and bigger, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked when he smiled, and people couldn't help but laugh along.
As soon as Zhu Lu came in, she looked like this, and she knew what she was thinking, so she pursed her lips, and there was a little smile in her eyes.
Then he instructed a few maids to put the food on the table safely.
Gu Nianjiao glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks with a smile to use for dinner.
Bai Zang looked at her blankly, Gu Nianjiao took a piece of pork ribs, and asked lazily: "Bai Zang, it's you again, what's the matter with you." β
Bai Zang was about to cry, what did she mean again, she was also very aggrieved, so she said solemnly this time: "It's nothing, it's just that Miss is so happy, and the slave maid is also happy for Miss." Without mentioning his reward at all, Bai Zang still felt that he had a backbone.
Gu Nianjiao scooped a spoonful of fresh soup, drank it, put down the spoon and glanced at her, then sneered: "Really? β
"Absolutely." Bai Zang looked serious.
Gu Nianjiao shrugged, "I thought you were going to mention the reward, since you're not in a hurry, then I can't rush you." β
"Miss! Woo woo, you finally remember..."Bai Zang hurriedly said it, as if he was afraid that Gu Nianjiao would interrupt him.
Gu Nianjiao looked at her with a smile: "I always remember, I haven't forgotten, but if you don't say it, I can't urge you, don't you say?" β
Bai Zang puffed up his face with a melancholy expression, is his feelings or his own fault?
"Of course it's your fault." Gu Nianjiao seemed to be able to see her thoughts clearly, and when she said this, she took another bite of food.
After eating, Gu Nianjiao saw that she didn't speak, and said, "What's the matter?" Not convinced? β
"Where do you dare, the slave is thinking about what Miss said, and she is really right." Bai Zang patted the rainbow fart with a flattering face, "Then this reward...."
Gu Nianjiao glanced at her, retracted her gaze, and said slowly under Bai Zang's expectant look: "Don't worry." β
Bai Zang seemed to be deflated, oh, and then stood aside with his head down.
Zhu Lu and Qingyang glanced at each other and smiled.
"How's Discord?" Gu Nianjiao asked lightly.
Zhu Lu pondered for a moment and then replied, "The injury has fully recovered, and now I am already helping to work." β
Gu Nianjiao snorted, and then said: "You tell her more, don't hold it in your heart if there is anything, and her temperament, alas, I really am..."
Qingyang saw that she looked helpless, so she hurriedly said: "We will definitely persuade her well, miss, you don't have to worry too much." β
"I'm also afraid that she will be wronged and suffer a loss."
Zhu Lu raised his eyes and looked at her: "Miss's hard work, she also knows about the disorder. β
Gu Nianjiao bowed her head and didn't speak anymore, and suddenly looked at Zhu Lu with a hairy smile on the corner of her mouth.
Zhu Lu suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Sister Zhu Lu, you seem to be of marriageable age, right?" Gu Nianjiao looked at her with a gossipy expression.
Sure enough, Zhu Lu was urged to marry again.
Gu Nianjiao pulled her and said a lot of things, nothing more than asking her to find someone to marry quickly, even if she married, she could continue to serve by her side, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, Zhu Lu was one and four big.
Qingyang on the side was a little gloating, but he was caught by Gu Nianjiao, so he and Zhu Lu accepted Gu Nianjiao's marriage baptism.
Bai Zang looked at the expressions of the two of them, and didn't dare to show it too obviously, for fear that he would be targeted by Gu Nianjiao, so he hung his head and looked depressed, but in fact he was holding back a smile.
