Qingqian didn't know who the person in front of him was, and he didn't know how to speak, but he didn't know her from the other party's blank expression.

She frowned, could it be that she was wrong? It is said that there is a banquet in Gufu today, and there are many people who come to Gufu to celebrate, and this son may not be Gu Huaijin.

Then that's it! Qing Qian squinted his eyes, anyway, the other party couldn't recognize him, even if he said it, it didn't matter.

Shen Mo suddenly looked at the girl in front of him and suddenly smiled like a big-tailed wolf, and felt a little strange in his heart, originally he just came to congratulate him, if he hadn't had something to do to find Gu Huaijin, otherwise he wouldn't have walked here and been smashed by this girl who fell from the sky.

"Hey," Duan Yan also saw that she suddenly laughed, this maid smashed her own master and laughed so happily, she guessed if there was something wrong with her brain, "Which yard maid are you?" ”

"Huh?" Qing Qian looked at him innocently and whispered, "Slave and maid...... Qingbai, I didn't catch the morning meal today and was hungry, so I had to go to the kitchen to eat. ”

She was afraid that her hands and feet would be uneasy when she came out, so she only wore a simple goose yellow dress, which was almost the same as a maid, and it was no wonder that she would admit her mistake.

Her voice was getting lower and lower, and her long eyelashes drooped to cover her eyes, and she looked a little pitiful.

Look at this man again, staring at her silently, seeing that she herself is a little hairy, forget it, she also smashed someone by herself, in the final analysis, it is her own business, she thought about it and took out the oiled paper bag from her sleeve in pain, handed over a chicken leg and said, "No, compensate you." ”

Looking at this girl stretching out a pair of stalks, her ten fingers pinching a greasy chicken leg like green onions, no matter how you look at it, it is a little unpleasant.

Seeing that he didn't move, she didn't think it was too little, so she hesitated: "Or...... I'll pay you two chicken legs. ”

She's still hungry! Originally, she didn't get much from the kitchen, and she was generous enough to separate two chicken legs.

Guan Yan wanted to see what was in the girl's head, and hit her own master and took out the chicken leg stolen from the kitchen to solve the problem.

Flattened his mouth, even if he took out two, he was unmoved, and covered the oil paper bag shallowly, for fear that he would snatch away all the things in her whole package, the corners of Shen Mo's mouth hooked, this maid is also interesting, but he didn't have the leisure to make trouble with a maid, waved his hand and took Guan Yan away.

She pinched the chicken leg and was a little stunned, and just left? However, she was stunned, she still quickly returned to the courtyard first, there are so many people in the Gu Mansion today, if she still stays outside, she will be recognized sooner or later.

Peony had been waiting for her for a long time, but she saw her master rushing in as fast as a rabbit.

"Miss, you go slowly, if this threshold is knocked down, it is easy to fall and get hurt."

Qingqian gasped twice, took out the oiled paper bag from his sleeve, shrank it on the soft collapse, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I met someone on the road." ”

Peony opened the paper bag, and saw the steamed chicken legs slowly inside, she couldn't help but open her mouth, so many things, when did the grandmothers and maids in the kitchen become so generous.

Qing Qian sighed and pinched her face and said, "Do you really think that your master went to the kitchen to ask for it?" How many people are in the kitchen at this time? ”

"Miss, aren't you turning ......"

Qing Qian immediately blocked her mouth and said, "Just leave me a steamed bun and chicken legs, and you can take the rest and share it with the other little maids in the yard." ”

Peony wanted to say and was gagged by Qingqian, and she didn't know how to speak again, but she saw that her master had eaten happily, and she could only take these things and send them to the backyard.

In the evening, dinner was not delivered, but it was strange that it was shallow, wasn't dinner also eaten together in the main hall?

She was about to step out of the door, but saw a strange grandmother standing at the door with dinner, which was not the same as the maid who delivered the meal before.

Peony paused and whispered, "Miss...... This seems to be the head of the kitchen. ”

Oh, it turned out to be the kitchen manager, and when I saw the expression on her face, I guessed that something was wrong.

Only what could have been discovered in the afternoon.

"Miss, the old lady asked the slave to ask you if the theft of the kitchen had anything to do with you." That grandmother is neither humble nor arrogant.

Peony tugged at her sleeve and said, "Miss, I wanted to tell you at that time, the kitchen of the Gu Mansion has always been strictly managed, no matter what it is, it will be counted when Mama leaves, and if there is anything missing, you will naturally know." ”

"......" why she didn't know, why didn't the maid tell her.

Seeing her staring at herself, Peony said aggrievedly: "Miss, how did I know that you would go over the wall and get in, and you will take so many things." At that time, the slave wanted to tell you when you came back, but you didn't give me a chance, Miss. ”

As if that's what happened.

But even if this is the case, it won't make such a big fuss, this grandmother's face is not good-looking at all, and her eyes are shallow and hairy all over her body.

Peony explained in a low voice: "Because a few months ago, Miss wanted to stuff some plant ash into the second lady's medicine jar, but at that time, the third lady was also sick, and the slave didn't know which was the third lady's medicine jar, so she accidentally stuffed it into the third lady's medicine jar, and the result was known by the master, and the kitchen began to be strictly managed." ”

Qingqian: "......"

Looking at it this way, I'm afraid that Qingqian is the first object of suspicion now...... How many things Gu Qingqian has done before, it's no wonder that this housekeeper came to invite her with a dark face, and it is estimated that there was a lot of friction with this grandmother before.

Before, he relied on his wife's support, so Gu Qingqian was not worried that he would not have to eat, but now the relationship with the kitchen has become very important, and Zhou's status has also decreased slightly, it seems that there were originally a lot of Zhou's eyeliner in the yard, but now half of it has been removed.

"Miss Ben doesn't know," replied lightly, "I wonder what's going on in the kitchen?" ”

The grandmother replied: "It seems that someone entered the kitchen this afternoon, although it is not a big deal to miss something, but the second lady is afraid that someone will put something in the rest of the meal, so the old lady sent someone to check it strictly."

"The slave knows," replied the grandmother, "and by the way, Madame asked me to tell you that I will go to Qiongyu Monastery tomorrow." ”

Qing Qian nodded, and asked Peony to take the meal and turn back to the courtyard.

She is probably going to die of sorrow these days, things are coming one after another, if she can, she will definitely stay in the yard and wait for dinner.

As for going to Qiongyu Courtyard, I can guess that my brother didn't show up at all when he came back, and her mother was in a hurry to let her out.

Peony looked at her worriedly and said, "Miss, do you need a slave to prepare a hot water bottle for you?" ”

"What are you doing with a hot water bottle?" Qing Qianqi said, what does this hot water bottle have to do with going to Qiongyu Courtyard.

Peony replied, "Isn't Miss the least fond of seeing the eldest young master?" Each time, you ask the slave to prepare a hot water bottle for you, put it on your head when you enter the yard, and then pretend that you are infected with the wind and cold, and you can come back immediately. ”

Qingqian: "......" I have to say that Gu Qingqian is really a smart master in this regard.

It's just that she is curious now, who is this Senior Young Master Gu, who can make Gu Qingqian think of this way to deal with it.

Peony didn't tell her what was the reason why she hated Gu Huaijin, every time she asked her, she covered her mouth and whined vaguely and couldn't say clearly, the most she heard this Nizi open and shut was that she had said before that she was not allowed to face the eldest young master in front of her. Qingqian knew that this girl had a tendon, and no matter what she said, she just wouldn't speak.

But the maids who went to see Gu Huaijin in Beijing in the other courtyard were all, and the corners of their mouths were about to flow to the ground when chatting with the maids in the house.

She sighed slightly, whether it is an ancient or modern girl, when she is a nymphomaniac at this age, people's eyes have their own beautifying function, otherwise there will be no lover in the eyes.

According to what the housekeeper said, at noon, I saw the maid of Qiongyu Courtyard come and invite her over.

In Qiongyu's courtyard, in addition to his mother, there was a man sitting on a sandalwood chair on the other side.

Don't think about it, this is her good brother Gu Huaijin.

Gu Huaijin snorted coldly when she saw her coming: "This time I came on time, my mother just asked the maid to come over and invite you, you arrived, it won't be the sun coming out of the west today." ”

Okay, this Gu Huaijin's words are really not good, Qing Qian raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, but he couldn't get in touch with the general on the battlefield at all, Gu Huaijin was not as strong as he imagined, and when he returned to the capital, he had already changed into a robe in a military uniform, and the sword eyebrows on that angular face were slightly raised, and below was a pair of deep eyes, and a fan was inserted in his waist, no matter how he looked at it, he was a high-spirited scholar.

"Brother, long time no see." Qing Qian smiled.

Gu Huaijin squinted her eyes, stared at her sister for a long time, and said, "What, is it going to be cold again this time, or is the maid in the yard going to make trouble again?" ”

Qing Qian didn't know how many reasons she had used to prevaricate her brother, she was not annoyed, she took a small step back and said to her mother: "Is there something wrong with my mother calling me today?" ”

"It's nothing," Zhou said, holding up the teacup, "It's just that your brother rarely comes back, and he didn't see you for lunch yesterday, so he specially asked you to come over." ”

Gu Huaijin continued: "But this time I will stay in the capital for many more days, and the third prince will stay in the capital in the near future." ”

That is to say, I guess I can see him often recently, Qingqian nodded, so it didn't make much sense for her to come to see him, she hit a hatchet and said: "If there is nothing to do, Qingqian will go first." ”

I can't really talk to this brother, I first showed her a straight face, and the words I said were not pleasant, and I didn't look like my brother.

Gu Huaijin also arched his hand and said: "If there is nothing to do, Huaijin will also go to the palace." ”

Zhou's brows furrowed, but he still waved them away.

Qing Qian walked out of the courtyard and patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but the corner of his eye skimmed the person standing beside her.
