268 Prime Minister's Mansion
"I've seen the second ......" Wu Guowei was just about to salute Zhou Qingshu when he reached out and stopped him, put it to his ear, and used a subtle voice, and at the same time let Zhou Qingyou hear, "When you go out, everything is simple, since everyone is destined to meet, then go to Hengtong Restaurant to sit, how about it?" Interrupted Wu Guowei, he invited him so kindly, Wu Guowei had no reason to obey.
Lin Dongxian, as Wu Guowei's personal servant, naturally wanted to follow him to Hengtong Restaurant, and the group left in a mighty way. Wu Guowei talked to Zhou Qingshu a lot, Zhou Qingyou was a girl after all, even if he had a good impression of Wu Guowei, he only showed it in his heart, with a faint smile on his face, and listened carefully to the two of them. Before leaving, Wu Guowei once again thanked Zhou Qingyou for his righteous words, and Zhou Qingyou smiled lightly: "Childe, you have said this many times, no need to be polite." ”
His eyes still fell on Wu Guowei's body, Zhou Qingshu rolled up his fist and put it to his lips and coughed twice, "My sister said so, Wu Gongzi, don't be polite, okay, let's say goodbye, if there is fate, we will see each other again." After saying goodbye, Lin Dongxian looked at the back of Zhou Qingshu's brothers and sisters leaving, and said coldly: "Young master, you know the identity of the son just now." ”
"Of course I do." Wu Guowei replied subconsciously, but after speaking, he realized that he was a little uncomfortable, and strode forward without continuing to pay attention to her. Zhou Qingyou, who returned to the palace, did not go back to his bedroom to rest, but followed Zhou Qingshu to his bedroom, "Sister, you go first, I'll change my clothes." "Second Emperor Brother, don't leave yet, I have something to ask you." Zhou Qingyou immediately stepped forward and pulled his robe and didn't let him leave.
Zhou Qingshu frowned and puzzled: "Sister, what do you want to ask?" There was a heavy puzzle in his eyes, Zhou Qingshu was knowingly asking, how could he not guess? Second Emperor Brother, do you know Wu Gongzi? Zhou Qingyou held back all the way and finally asked. Outside, she wants to keep her daughter's family reserved, and she wants to find out Wu Guowei's identity on her own.
But after thinking about it along the way, it is better to ask Zhou Qingshu, and see Wu Guowei's attitude towards him clearly to know the identity of his prince. Since Zhou Qingshu knew him, he must know his identity, and instead of going to great lengths to investigate, she should ask Zhou Qingshu directly. What secrets can the brother and sister have that can't be said, it's a big deal that she asked Zhou Qingshu to keep the secret for her afterwards.
Zhou Qingshu's narrow eyes were filled with a smile, and he said in a gentle tone: "Sister, you really want to know?" "Second Emperor Brother, I knew that you must know, tell me quickly, which prince of the mansion is Wu Gongzi?" It's okay if you don't tell me, anyway, I know his surname is Wu, and I'll know after a little investigation. Zhou Qingyou raised his lips and said, Zhou Qingshu heard this, a slight expression appeared on his face, and he opened his lips and asked: "Since this is the case, then why do you bother to ask me, wouldn't it be better to go out and investigate by yourself?" ”
"Hmph, Second Emperor Brother, you are too unkind, I am not all for your good." Zhou Qingyou's words made Zhou Qingshu more and more confused, and he said puzzled: "Sister, how can you say this?" "Second Emperor Brother, you have always been smart, why can't you figure it out. I ask you, isn't it just to give you the opportunity to be good to me, who makes the second emperor brother the best person to me except for the queen mother, you will never refuse my request! The more Zhou Qingyou spoke, the more proud he became, and unconsciously held Zhou Qingshu's arm, Zhou Qingshu frowned and said, "Sister, do I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity?" ”
"It's not necessary, it's all my own family, so I don't have to be so polite. Okay, Second Emperor Brother, tell me quickly, which prince of Wu Gongzi is the son of the house? The fish was hooked, Zhou Qingshu didn't need to quarrel with her anymore, and said the name of the Pingbohou Mansion, Zhou Qingyou suddenly asked: "Second Emperor Brother, is it Wu Ge Lao's son-in-law?" ”
"You still know Elder Wu Ge, it's really okay!" Saying that, Zhou Qingshu suddenly flicked her head with his fingers, not to mention that it was still very painful, Zhou Qingshu instantly took two steps back, pouted, and said: "Second Emperor Brother, what are you doing so hard, what I said is right, hum, I'm leaving!" Then, like a proud peacock leaving his dormitory, Zhou Qingshu looked at her back as she left, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that could not be seen.
Lin Dongxian has always hesitated to tell Wu Guowei that Xiao Haizi was bought by Aunt Qing, if he knew about it, I am afraid that he would deepen his dislike for Aunt Qing. Besides, Xue didn't speak, she didn't need to be this villain. On that day, Xue also said that she didn't have to worry about finding Xiao Haizi, she would leave it to her and ask her to send someone out to find it.
At present, Ping Bohou's attitude towards Wu Guowei has eased, and the subordinates in the mansion understand that the subordinates who serve the Xue family have become more and more respectful of her. Even so, Ping Bohou's attitude was there, since Aunt Qing was stabbed by Wu Guowei, he didn't see the Xue family, and all orders were given to the housekeeper.
Wu Guowei has his blood flowing in his body, even if he doesn't admit it, there is no way, and Wu Guowei's recent performance has made Ping Bohou slowly accept him and investigate him. The housekeeper is very good at observing words and feelings, and informs him of Wu Guowei's recent moves. At this moment, Ping Bohou sat in front of the bookcase, took the teacup handed over by the butler, and lazily scraped the tea leaves floating on it with the tea lid.
After he pursed his lips and took a few sips, he put the teacup in the bottom of the tore. The housekeeper said slowly, what Wu Guowei encountered on the street today, told Ping Bohou 1510. Ping Bohou closed his eyes and listened to the housekeeper. "Master Hou, the old slave deliberately paid attention to the pair of brothers and sisters and sent someone to follow them, Master Hou is afraid that he will not be able to guess their identities." The housekeeper saw a faint smile on Ping Bohou's face, so he boldly went around in circles with him.
He will act on the occasion and will not be stupid to hit the muzzle of the gun. Ping Bohou suddenly opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Oh, what are their identities?" Since the housekeeper said so, he really couldn't guess for a while, there were so many noble sons in the capital, and he didn't have time to guess.
The housekeeper said slowly: "Back to the Hou Ye, they entered the palace, and as soon as the old slave learned the news, he immediately came to tell you." "The brother and sister entered the palace, and their identities are self-evident here. There is only one queen Pan in the harem, and the brothers and sisters are Zhou Qingshu, the second prince who has not yet married the concubine and opened the mansion, and Zhou Qingyou, the eldest princess of Queen Pan's favorite palm pearl.
The housekeeper naturally also knew the identity of Zhou Qingshu's brothers and sisters, if it weren't for their special status, the housekeeper would not have come to tell him because of this. Ping Bohou pondered for a moment before slowly waving his hand: "Okay, I know, you go down!" The housekeeper had to order him to retire quickly, and looking at the departing housekeeper, a trace of gloom flashed in Ping Bohou's eyes.
It is said that Gu Yihui learned that Lin Dongxian had left the inn, but Gu Yiqing did not let her go out to look for it, and the brother and sister had a dislike at this point. Gu Yiqing looked at Gu Yihui who walked in, pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "Sister, you are still angry with me." Gu Yihui glanced at her mouth, "Second brother, is it still useful for you to say this now?" ”
She was afraid that she would never see Lin Dongxian again, all because of Gu Yiqing, if he helped her find her, maybe he would find Lin Dongxian. She had already sworn in her heart that she would not marry Lin Dongxian in this life. If there was no avoidance from him along the way, she was afraid that she would not have seen Gu Yiqing alive. He still cares about Lin Dongxian's identity, it's a joke, could it be that her Gu Yihui's life is more important than the dignity and face of the family in Gu Yiqing's eyes.
If this is the case, she would rather not be the daughter of the Gu family. When Gu Yiqing heard this, his heart trembled, and he knew that Gu Yihui still had a grudge against him now.
"Hui'er, the second brother is really for your good, maybe you don't understand what the second brother is doing now, it's okay, the second brother doesn't blame you. You are still young and ignorant, and when you grow up, you will understand the good intentions of your second brother. Gu Yiqing reached out and wanted to touch her head, but she took a few steps back to avoid it, and Gu Yiqing awkwardly hung his hand in the air.
"Second brother, I'm fourteen years old, how young is you, you obviously care about reputation, why do you say these high-sounding words, it makes me feel hypocritical when I hear it." Gu Yihui immediately retorted and did not save face for Gu Yiqing. Gu Yiqing knew that he would not be able to persuade Gu Yihui, who was already fascinated by Lin Dongxian in front of him, for a while, so he would wait to go back to Jiangnan and ask his eldest brother Gu Yiming to help persuade her together.
Anyway, at this time, he must not let his parents know, otherwise according to his father's temper, Gu Yihui will definitely be expelled from the house. He can swear by heaven that everything he does is for Gu Yihui's good. But she's good, she doesn't know the hearts of good people, hey, who let it be his own sister, there is no way, I can only endure it.
"Hui'er, let's put this matter aside for the time being and don't mention it. Next, I want to tell you a very serious matter, do you remember what our parents asked us to come to the capital for? Gu Yiqing kindly reminded her.
Gu Yihui pouted and said, "What does this have to do with Lin Gongzi?" One yard is one yard, obviously I can tell my uncle to let him help find Lin Gongzi in the capital, with his identity and status, it is not a matter of moving his mouth, and in a few days, there will be news of Lin Gongzi. It's all your fault, why did you interrupt and not let me beg my uncle. When Gu Yiqing mentioned it, she was full of anger.
The two brothers and sisters arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion and were warmly received. Prime Minister Lin Xiangqi arranged for them to live in the best courtyard, I heard that it was the courtyard where their aunt Gu lived back then, except for her cousin Lin Dongxian, who passed away not long ago, and this place was sealed off over the years. Every day, someone will come to take care of it, and no one else is allowed to come in. I heard from the housekeeper that Lin Xiangqi would come to the yard every once in a while to sit in the yard, so as to miss his deceased wife Gu.
The reason why the butler said this is, of course, a little flattering. After all, Gu has passed away for many years, and Lin Dongxian passed away with him, and Lin Xiangqi lost countless gray hair overnight. It's Gu Yihui, she looks a little like Gu between her eyebrows, Lin Xiangqi takes special care of their brothers and sisters, and the housekeeper certainly likes her.
Today's head of the Xiangfu, the mother of the Lu family, is the daughter of the Guozi priest wine, and she can marry into the Xiangfu to be Lin Xiangqi's stepfamily, she must have her means. The housekeeper respects the Lu family, but he can't blindly listen to her and live to please her. He is indispensable to the Xiangfu's interactions, Lin Xiangqi usually values him very much, and he almost doesn't hide anything from him, and he knows Lin Xiangqi's every move well, so he doesn't mind making the Lu family angry.
"Okay, it's useless for you to say this now, this time my parents let us go to the capital, that is to hope that my uncle will transfer my father back to the capital for my aunt's sake. Don't you mess with me, do you hear? Gu Yiqing reminded with a worried face, if it weren't for his mother's soft-heartedness, she couldn't stand Gu Yihui's repeated pleading, and she loosely agreed to let her come to the capital with her, where would he have to be afraid.
It's been a few days since I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I haven't found a suitable opportunity to mention it to Lin Xiangqi. Gu Yihui snorted: "Second brother, anyway, in your heart, my sister has no place at all." He sat at the table with his cheeks puffed out, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in a big gulp.
"Hui'er, this is not in your own house, your words and deeds represent our Gu family, and the reserve that the girl's family should have cannot be lost. I know you're worried about Lin Gongzi, yes, he's your savior, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I'd never see you again. Since you want to find Lin Gongzi so much, you don't need to ask your uncle for help. Gu Yiqing looked at her again and again, Gu Yihui was a little anxious to drink tea, choked twice, and coughed red.
Gu Yiqing couldn't help but get up after all, walked up to her, reached out to caress her back, and said softly: "How is it, is it better?" Next time you drink tea, slow down, and no one will rob you. Think about it yourself, when you were in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, how could the second brother say so about you. It's not that I want you to go out and be careful with everything and don't leave people talking. After all, my aunt has passed away, and the current Mrs. Xiangfu is not our aunt, Hui'er, can the second brother still harm you? ”
Gu Yihui listened to his words this time, raised his head suddenly, and said, "Second brother, I'm sorry, I know it's wrong, don't worry, I will pay attention from now on and don't make trouble for you." When Gu Yiqing heard this, he showed a bright smile, "Okay, Hui'er, second brother believes in you, you are now grown up and are a big girl." If it is really as Gu Yihui said, then he will have a lot of peace of mind.
It is undeniable that what Gu Yiqing said just now is not wrong at all, Lin Xiangqi, the uncle, is very good to them, and if he lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion for seven or eight days, he will come to visit them from time to time, talk to them, and mention the Gu family. As for the current head of the Prime Minister's house, the Lu family, forget it, so far she hasn't even shown her face. Even the refusal to do superficial work is enough to show the contempt for their brother and sister, and even the resentment towards the Gu family.
Lin Xiangqi didn't say anything, and their brother and sister had no reason to trouble the Lu family. People have to bow their heads under the eaves, Lin Xiangqi can't be by their side all the time, but the Lu family is afraid that he can reach the sky with one hand in the backyard. This matter definitely did not reach Lin Xiangqi's ears, Gu Yiqing thought more than Gu Yihui, after all, he was a man, and he would support the Gu family in the future. And Gu Yihui is a girl's family, so she just needs to wait to get married.
"Besides, Hui'er, if your uncle asks why you want to find Lin Gongzi, is it possible that you have to tell the truth to your uncle? Yes, with my uncle's power, we can indeed find Lin Gongzi very easily, but think about it, since Lin Gongzi left a letter and left, he didn't want us to find it, so why should we be strong. Besides, if my father is transferred back to the capital, we will definitely move to the capital, and when the time comes, you want to find Lin Gongzi, and the second brother will help you, how about it? In order to persuade Gu Yihui, Gu Yiqing also fought hard.
