Chapter 8 Visitors on a Rainy Night

Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh a few words when he saw it, feeling that it was not easy for this ancient maid to work on errands, and then thought about it, thinking that if she and Gu Liniang didn't stay in Cen Mansion right now, I was afraid that she would still have to brave the rain to make a living, and maybe she wouldn't even be able to find a place to hide from the rain...... As soon as he thought about this, Gu Zheng felt that it was really good luck to be able to stay in this good place of Cen Mansion to eat and drink.

This pouring rain continued to fall until late at night, and when Gu Zheng and Gu Liniang finished dinner and chatted for a while, they planned to go to bed to rest, but the rain did not get smaller.

Unexpectedly, just when Gu Zheng and Gu Liniang were about to turn off the lights and go to bed to rest, the courtyard door of Tingquan Courtyard was slapped a few times......

The sudden knocking on the door made several people in the room look at each other, and the spoon muttered with a puzzled face: "It's the middle of the night, and it's still raining heavily, how can anyone knock on the door outside?" ”

Gu Zheng also felt strange in his heart, and after thinking about it, he decided that it was better to ignore it: "Don't worry about it, let's quickly blow out the light, just think that we have fallen asleep and didn't hear the sound of knocking on the door." ”

Hearing this, the spoon hurriedly did so, and several people in the room immediately held their breath and listened, but although the lights in the room had been extinguished and there was no sound at all, there was still an intermittent knock on the door outside the door! The sound of the knock on the door was not loud or small, ringing a few times every few moments, so that people could tell that the person who was patting on the door outside was not only very patient but also very stubborn, as if he had made up his mind to shoot the person in the courtyard until he opened the door.

The sound of the raindrops smashing on the eaves tiles outside is getting louder and louder, and it seems that the rain is much heavier than before, but the sound of the door knocking outside the door is still unhurried, and Gu Liniang first muttered impatiently: "Spoon, you go out and ask who is knocking on the door, and ask her what's the matter!" It's okay for her to stop filming and go back to sleep! ”

Because the person outside the door did not slam the door hard and fiercely, Gu Zheng faintly felt that the other party had no malicious intent, and also noticed that the other party didn't seem to want people to hear the movement and be aware of her actions, so Gu Zheng nodded in agreement with Gu Liniang's words after a little thought: "Then please ask Sister Spoon to go out and ask through the door, and ask who is knocking on the door, but what's the matter?" ”

Hearing this, Spoon immediately held up an oil umbrella and walked quickly to the back of the door, and asked through the door, "Who is outside in Mrs. Gu?" But what's the matter? ”

As soon as Spoon'er's words fell, a crisp voice replied: "Sister Spoon'er, it's me, Jin Hai!" Our aunt came to Mrs. Gu for something, and asked my sister to open the door conveniently! ”

This golden hairpin is Aunt Sun's personal maid in Master Cen's house, and she has a little friendship with Spoon on weekdays, plus this Aunt Sun has always been kind and never behaves as an aunt, so Spoon hesitated a little or took off the wooden strip that arrived at the door, opened the door, and carefully welcomed Aunt Sun's master and servant to the house.

As soon as Spoon led people into the house, he took the initiative to introduce him: "Mrs. Gu, this is our aunt in the house, surnamed Sun, who has been serving in our old house for almost thirty years!" She said that she had something to do with you, Madam...... It was raining so hard outside, and the slave maid couldn't let her aunt wait outside, so she took charge and invited her into the house first. ”

Lotus lotus pigmented satin without pattern small jacket with the same color cloud brocade long skirt, Aunt Sun wore an inconspicuous dress, without saying a word, standing quietly aside, but as soon as the spoon introduced her identity, she took the initiative to give Gu Liniang a blessing.

This Gu Liniang didn't understand the rules, not only did she accept Aunt Sun's gift generously, but she didn't return the gift, but Gu Zheng stepped forward and blessed Aunt Sun's body, but Aunt Sun opened her body with interest and only accepted half a salute.

Gu Zheng didn't expect Gu Liniang to be able to open her mind and realize that Aunt Sun had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so before Aunt Sun could find her words, Gu Zheng took the initiative to ask: "Aunt came to listen to Quanyuan after such a heavy rain, but what is there to find my mother?" ”

"Concubine ......"

Aunt Sun only started talking, then glanced at Gu Liniang with some embarrassment, and finally made a request: "Miss Spoon, can you accompany Miss Gu back to the house first, the girl is still young, and I can't say some things in front of her." ”

As soon as Gu Zheng heard Aunt Sun's words, she knew that she was going to avoid herself, so she immediately took the spoon's hand and left with a smile, leaving only Gu Liniang and Aunt Sun alone in the houseβ€”β€”β€” anyway, her own mother would tell her anything, this Aunt Sun came to listen to the purpose of Quanyuan tonight, and she will know tomorrow.

However, although Gu Zheng knew that Gu Liniang would definitely tell him the purpose of Aunt Sun's visit, when she lay down in the comfortable bed and planned to sleep, Gu Zheng still couldn't help but guess Aunt Sun's intention, and couldn't guess why, so she could only gossip with the spoon: "Sister Spoon, what do you say Aunt Sun can do, do you have to come to my mother in the rain late at night?" He stubbornly stood outside and knocked on the door for so long...... My mother is not a serious master in the house, how can there be a place to help her? ”

Spoon Er was also wondering in her heart, but she couldn't guess Aunt Sun's thoughts: "The slave doesn't know, Aunt Sun and Mrs. Gu don't seem to have met before, let alone submit a talk...... Aunt Sun is really strange tonight, she doesn't seem to move around with anyone on weekdays, and only serves Madame wholeheartedly in the main room. ”

Gu Zheng covered his mouth and yawned: "This matter is quite strange, I must ask my mother for clarification tomorrow." ”

Spoon reached out and tucked the corner of the quilt for Gu Zheng: "Girl, go to sleep!" Ming'er will know it all when she gets up. ”

It's a pity that when Gu Zheng got up and freshened up the next day and ran to Gu Liniang's house in a hurry, Gu Liniang was still sleeping with a pair of dark circles under her eyes! Gu Zheng asked Zhen'er if she knew, it turned out that Gu Liniang had talked with Aunt Sun all night last night about the whitening of the sky, and Aunt Sun left in a hurry in the rain, and repeatedly told Zhen'er that she must not let people know that she had come to Tingquan Courtyard.

After listening to what Zhen'er said, Gu Zheng suddenly became more and more curious about the purpose of Aunt Sun's late-night visit, but unfortunately no matter how she made trouble, Gu Liniang could sleep soundly, so Gu Zheng finally had to lose, and helplessly waited for Gu Liniang to wake up from her sleep and then dig up the gossip.

Unexpectedly, Gu Liniang hadn't slept enough to wake up, so Rongshoutang sent a little maid over to pass the word, saying that Mrs. Tai had returned home, and asked Gu Liniang's mother and daughter to hurry up and prepare, and immediately go to Rongshoutang to meet Mrs. Tai.

This Gu Zheng is looking forward to the return of this legendary Mrs. Tai every day, after all, many of the mysteries in her heart must be solved by seeing Mrs. Tai one by oneβ€”β€”β€” Gu Zheng is eager to know why Mrs. Tai asked people to take their mother and daughter to live in Cen Mansion, and whether they can continue to live in Cen Mansion without worrying about food and clothing in the future!

Therefore, this review of the zither was not polite to Gu Liniang at all, and at the moment it was beating gongs and drums, and tickling coldly, and finally woke up Gu Liniang, a sleeping pig!

As soon as Gu Liniang woke up, Gu Zheng immediately shouted in her ear: "Mrs. Cen is back!" Tell us to come and see you! ”

Gu Liniang asked with a confused face, "Mrs. Tai?" What Mrs. Too? ”

Gu Zheng hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Tai, who can give you food and clothing, and let you eat, drink and have fun every day!" ”

The words "eat, drink and have fun" really made Gu Liniang sober up instantly, and after she came to her senses, she was a little more anxious than Gu Zheng, she cleaned herself up by dividing herself by two, and deliberately changed into a newly made ginger satin jacket and a light blue flowered horse-faced skirt...... Dress yourself up dignified and noble, elegant and generous, and add a bit of everyone's beautiful temperament to your appearance.

Gu Liniang turned around in front of the bronze mirror a few times with a satisfied face, and then pulled Gu Zheng and hurried to Rongshoutang, looking like she was afraid that she would be too late and make Mrs. Tai unhappy.

However, although Gu Zheng was very excited and excited about Mrs. Tai's return, she did not forget about Aunt Sun's visit on a rainy night, but rushed to Rongshoutang with Gu Liniang with her skirt, and asked when she saw the stitches: "Mother, why did Aunt Sun come to you last night?" ”

As soon as Gu Zheng mentioned Aunt Sun and Mrs. Tai, Gu Liniang's face was suddenly full of joy, but when she saw that even the spoon was pricking up her ears and waiting for her answer with curiosity on her face, she immediately sold Guan Zi proudly: "It's okay, she is just looking for me to chat a few words." ”

This perfunctory answer made Gu Zheng pout, and immediately unceremoniously exposed Gu Liniang's lies: "Liar! I don't believe she came to you in the middle of the night in the rain, just to make small talk to you?! Let's talk until dawn?! Hum! I'm not a three-year-old, don't try to lie to me! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Mother knows that we are not three-year-old children, but there are some things you still don't know," Gu Liniang said as she reached out and rubbed Gu Zheng's head, seeing that Gu Zheng was dissatisfied and avoided and twisted her little face aside, looking like she was beaten to death and ignored her, she could only helplessly add: "Anyway, it's a good thing!" Don't worry, my mother is not stupid, and she won't be cheated! ”

It's no wonder you're not stupid......

Gu Zheng said silently in his heart, and the more Gu Liniang smiled and assured that it was a good thing, the more Gu Zheng felt that it was unlikely to be a good thing.

It's just that Gu Zheng didn't have time to ask things clearly, when he heard Mama Yu's voice with a little laughter: "Mrs. Gu can be regarded as bringing Miss Gu here, just this short period of effort, our old lady has already recited it several times, saying why there is no one yet, is it that the little maid didn't pass the word!" No, the old lady couldn't wait, so she sent the old slave out to greet her. ”

While speaking, Mama Yu had already led Gu Zheng's mother and daughter into a simple, somewhat majestic courtyard, and their group walked into the courtyard, and immediately a few maids greeted them, either reaching out to support Gu Liniang, or reaching out to hold Gu Zheng, in short, they all came to Gu Liniang's side to offer courtesy, and even the little maids who helped to tie the curtain had two or three!
