Chapter 345: Pick Up Someone
"This is the post of the master of my family, and the master of my family is Lu Chen, the second son of the Marquis Zhan Yuan's mansion. Brother Lao went to report to your master, and said that my master came to welcome his son to a courtyard. ”
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Lu Chen's handsome face was revealed from behind the curtain.
When the porter saw that the owner of the carriage was extraordinary, he did not dare to delay, lest this be the honored guest of his master.
"You wait at the corner gate, and the little one will inform you!" The porter wanted to invite the nobleman into the corner door to rest, but saw the nobleman waving his hand.
"You told your master that I was waiting for him outside, so I won't go into the house. I'll come back another day, it's not too early at this time, so it's better to leave early. ”
Lu Chen planned to take Gu Chengyu to the Four Princes' Mansion, and the Four Princes had been chattering for two days. I originally wanted to make an appointment in the teahouse, but then I thought it would be better to go directly to the Four Princes' Mansion.
The porter trotted to see the chief steward of the outer court, and told him about it. The steward of the outer courtyard is surnamed Chen, about forty years old, and he was originally a steward of a small official's mansion, Gu Chengyu asked people to check it, and made sure that his identity was not suspicious, so he was relieved to let him take charge of the outer court.
Since he is the manager of the outer court, he also has the right to report to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu often stayed in the outer study, and although he also cleaned up the yard in Erjin, he didn't go often. Now that there is a girl Ji living in the second entrance in the house, Gu Chengyu doesn't go into the inner courtyard much in order to avoid suspicion. The inner courtyard is divided into separate courtyards, which can be said to be the second entrance.
Gu Chengyu originally asked Mingmo to clean up a room in the outer courtyard, but now they live like this for the time being.
When Gu Chengyu went from the bedroom to the study, he saw a bowl of steaming lily lotus seed soup on the table in the study. Gu Chengyu rubbed his forehead, every day it was either soup or porridge, could he say that he was scared when he saw this now?
Twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, it's horrible. Ming Yan, who was following behind, looked at the son who had a headache, and could only cover his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.
"Childe! This was sent by Miss Ji, and she asked you to drink it while it was hot. Ming Yan bites these words while they are hot, and she still admires Miss Ji's unremitting actions every day.
"You call Lichun over." Gu Chengyu took a deep breath, and now Lichun followed Liang's mother to deal with the affairs of the inner courtyard.
Since Ji Furui is borrowing, she is a guest, how can she wash her hands and make soup for her master every day? Isn't that a snub to others?
"Yes!" Ming Yan also saw that Gongzi didn't seem to want to have any close contact with Miss Ji, although he didn't understand why Gongzi ransomed people back and made her a decoration, but Gongzi had his own reason for Gongzi.
Steward Chen came in a hurry, saw Gu Chengyu, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Childe! There was a guest at the corner gate who handed over the post, saying that he was the second son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, and he said that he was here to pick you up and go to another courtyard, you see? Steward Chen handed the post to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu opened it and took a look, not bad! It's Lu Chen, why did this person come so early? He also came directly to his house. Didn't you say to meet you at the teahouse? Are you planning to change places?
"Why don't you invite people to the flower hall to wait?"
"Back to Gongzi, then Gongzi Lu said that the hour was not early, so he would not enter the mansion." Steward Chen replied respectfully.
"Hmmm! You go back to him and say I'll come later. "Gu Chengyu doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in Lu Chen's gourd, but at most, it's just a place where literati gather!
Gu Chengyu was already wearing clothes to go out, and planned to take a carriage to the teahouse. Since the people are here, then he will deal with the matter here before leaving.
"Childe! What do you command you to find a slave or a maidservant? Lichun didn't know what was going on, and Childe rarely called her to the outer study.
"Don't let Miss Ji go to the big kitchen in the future, you tell those cooks to let them not collect cashiers. Although the people are borrowing, they are also guests, and they told the people in the house, don't let the people slack off her. ”
Gu Chengyu told him about this, and without waiting for Lichun to respond, he straightened his clothes and prepared to go to the corner gate.
"Yes!" Lichun's heart trembled, and the chef in the house was like this? The girl in that season was already living on the monthly silver given by her son, how much reward could she have? She served in the child's house, and she couldn't care about this study, but she didn't expect that the soup was sent here?
Watching Gu Chengyu tidy up his clothes, Lichun naturally stepped forward to help. Ming Yan, who came over on the side, lifted his eyelids, this kind of thing is usually done by Ming Mo and him, when did Lichun do such a meticulous job?
Gu Chengyu was not used to the proximity of women, he had been serving Mingmo and them for so many years, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he gently pushed Lichun away.
Lichun was pushed away, and he naturally went to the side to stand still, without a trace of embarrassment.
Sooner or later, Childe will get used to her presence, and habits over the years cannot be changed overnight. When you get used to it, it becomes natural.
Ming Yan looked at it and raised his eyebrows, this Lichun's mind is probably not small!
Gu Chengyu didn't know that these two people had their own thoughts, so he had to hurry up and go to the corner gate, he couldn't ask people to wait all the time.
Lu Chen touched the tea bowl boredly, thinking about how to talk to Gu Chengyu about going to the fourth prince later.
Gu Chengyu has not yet tried the palace, and it is not a good thing to have a personal relationship with the prince, so he will come to pick it up. Even if others pay attention to the carriage of the Four Princes' Mansion, they also saw their Hou Mansion, Gu Chengyu shared one with him, and it should be fine.
"Brother Lu!" As soon as Lu Chen heard this voice, he knew that it was Gu Chengyu who came.
Gu Chengyu is still a teenager, his voice is clear and soft, and his speech can always make people feel like a spring breeze.
lifted the curtain, and saw that this was not Gu Chengyu, who was it? At first glance, Lu Chen's eyes lit up, Gu Chengyu was wearing a azure round-necked robe today, which said that his face was green and with the warmth and grace of a young man.
Lu Chen found that Gu Chengyu was extremely good-looking in Tianxiang Pavilion last time, of course, Gu Chengyu's fame in the capital was not only his talent, but also his appearance.
Before I met him, Lu Chen had always felt that this was a bit of a lie, but since the last time I saw him, he felt that he was worthy of the name.
"Brother Gu Xian, come up." Lu Chen beckoned Gu Chengyu to get into the carriage.
Gu Chengyu had already asked Steward Chen to send someone to drive the carriage, what did Lu Chen mean by letting him go up? Is it to share a car? I'm afraid that's not right, right?
"Brother Gu Xian, don't ask yet, just come up. The carriage was spacious enough for us to sit in. Lu Chen didn't wait for Gu Chengyu to refuse, and urged again and again.
Gu Chengyu had no choice but to climb into Lu Chen's carriage. As soon as I got into the carriage, I stepped on the blanket of flowers. Gu Chengyu did not pause and sat directly on the side of the carriage.
Ming Yan was a little dumbfounded when he saw Gongzi get into the carriage of Marquis Zhan Yuan's mansion. Seeing that the coachman was about to turn around and drive outside the house, Ming Yan hurriedly jumped into the carriage and sat at the front of the carriage with the coachman.
