Chapter 43: Stacking Peaks and Mountains (3)
Deacon Ding's leg has not healed because he has not found Guiguan and was beaten by Master Gu, so he is not very quick to act. He walked in with a slight limp and gave Liu Zuocheng a big salute, saying that he was coming to the old master.
Liu Zuocheng received him a little absent-mindedly.
After Deacon Ding got up, his attitude was respectful, and he had been standing there and Liu Zuocheng talking to Liu Zuocheng about some parental words, Liu Zuocheng's eyes flashed impatient several times, and Mrs. Gu frowned on the side, and gave him a few gestures to say goodbye, Deacon Ding seemed to have not seen it, and kept talking to Liu Zuocheng with a leisurely expression.
Liu Zuocheng is also a smart person, so he asked someone to bring him a stool, and he sat down unceremoniously. Liu Zuocheng was even more sure of his guess, and when he thought that there were no outsiders here, he said: "Yiming, although you are not the son of our family, you grew up in the Liu family since you were a child, and you won the trust of the third uncle. None of this is an outsider, you can just say it. ”
Despite this, Deacon Ding still turned seven or eight times before he euphemistically said that he wanted to go back to Jiangnan and wanted to go to Jiangnan to serve the little young master Gu Panxi.
This is Mrs. Gu's family matter, Liu Zuocheng naturally didn't want to interject, and set his eyes on Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu hesitated: "The master sent you to find Guiguan, this is suddenly going to Jiangnan, I'm afraid... There is no one to call the master, so let's talk about it later! ”
Deacon Ding was very disappointed, and looked at Liu Zuocheng with a pleading look.
Deacon Ding was originally a young man under Liu Zuocheng, and he was very clever. won Liu Zuocheng's favor, so when Liu Caixia was about to marry Shengjing, Liu Zuocheng recommended him, the original intention was to let him follow him to the Gu family to be a manager or something, and have a good future. Looking at him like this now, Liu Zuocheng felt a little unhappy. In vain, he recommended him to the Gu Mansion. A little bit of trivial things have to take the old master out to press face, it's too late...... He said: "But what errand is not done well, so you have to run back to Jiangnan?" There was a hint of reproach in his words.
Deacon Ding has also done a good job in front of Mrs. Gu in the past few years, and the master will always squeak Mrs. Gu in private if there is anything. In addition, he is Mrs. Gu's companion servant, and in Mrs. Gu's heart, Deacon Ding is her own person. Liu Zuocheng asked with a hint of reproach, and Mrs. Gu also heard it, and without waiting for Deacon Ding to reply, she opened her mouth first to explain: "In the past few years, I have been here thanks to Yiming, he is steady and caring, how can there be anything that cannot be done well!" ”
Liu Zuocheng smiled: "That's good, I'm afraid that I recommended the wrong person at the beginning!" ”
Mrs. Gu smiled: "Seventh Brother's vision is still bad!" ”
As he was talking, Liu Er came back to talk. said: "I asked Brother Yan and Brother Yan'er, and they all said that the master has not returned home in the past few days, and I don't know what the master should be." ”
Liu Zuocheng frowned when he heard this, and his face was bitter.
Deacon Ding's heart moved, and hurriedly said, "Why don't I go and help the Seventh Master investigate?" ”
Liu Zuocheng, a seasoned person, couldn't help but show a glint of hope on his face when he heard Deacon Ding's words, and said continuously: "Okay, good." Okay, go and inquire? ”
Deacon Ding answered.
Mrs. Gu didn't dare to ask what was going on, so she had to carefully serve tea on the side.
After a while, Deacon Ding turned back, and Liu Zuocheng greeted him excitedly.
Seeing this, Deacon Ding hurriedly said, "The little one has inquired clearly. It is said that the emperor summoned the ministers to meet Liang Guogong in the past few days, and the lord and Lord Qin of the Ministry of Rites are responsible, and the lord has been staying in the duty room for the past few days. ”
Liu Zuocheng breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but re-examine this young man he recommended to the Gu Mansion. He pondered for a moment and said to Mrs. Gu, "Caixia, I have something. I want to borrow a piece of weight for a while, you see..."
When Mrs. Gu saw that the Seventh Brother she respected was going to borrow Deacon Ding to help him do things, she felt a sense of honor in her heart, and hurriedly said, "If Seventh Brother has anything to do, just tell him!" ”
When Liu Zuocheng got this sentence, he looked like he couldn't sit still, and immediately pulled Deacon Ding to leave.
Gu Xiyan waited for both of them to leave. Only then did he come out of the warm pavilion. Since Mrs. Gu can't go. The distribution of this business will no longer need to be discussed. She said a few words with Mrs. Gu, who had been absent-minded. Gu Xiyan also got up and said goodbye when he heard the sound.
Before she could step out of Mrs. Gu's house, she heard Mrs. Gu instructing Ye'er behind her back: "Prepare a sedan chair for me, I want to go to Uncle Yongningfang's house." ”
Gu Xiyan smiled and returned to Beyuan.
Duan Niang seemed to have just come back from outside, her face was full of dust, and she saw the joy on Gu Xiyan's face: "Girl, come to the house and talk." ”
Gu Xiyan inexplicably followed Duan Niang into the inner room, Duan Niang took Gu Xiyan's hand and sat side by side on the short couch, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Girl, let's go to Qixia to watch the incense in the past two days!" ”
"Ahh Gu Xiyan was said very suddenly, and his mind turned, "Is there any news from Jinxin?" ”
Duan Niang nodded with a smile, and said in a low voice: "The other party is the side branch of the Mei family in Guangning, Changzhou, Jiangnan County, called Mei Qin, just twenty years old this year, last year's second-class jinshi, and now the criminal department is the inspection school, and the ninth young master of the Jiang family is the same year, it is said that the appearance is dignified, and the character is very good." His parents died early, he had an older sister who had already married, and his mother-in-law's family was a big family in Changzhou. ”
"Ah", Gu Xiyan was shocked again, she didn't think about herself //
//
Traveling to ancient times, there is still a chance to go on a blind date.
Duan Niang seemed to be very satisfied with the other party: "Although it is said that it is only a positive ninth grade, but a serious professional background, and serving in the criminal department, there is a chance to talk to Niangniang on the premise, and the foreign man of the fifth grade can still run." If you don't say hello to the officials and let them out, the girl will follow, away from Shengjing, this is the place of right and wrong..."Gu Xiyan learned a lot about the customs and habits of the Xia Kingdom when he was in the Changsheng class, among which private marriage is the same as elopement, which is not recognized by society. She felt that Duanniang had done something wrong, and said hesitantly: "I think it's better to squeak my father about this." ”
Duan Niang sneered: "Girl, don't worry, the marriage of the children of which family is not by the mother Zhang Luo, we told Mrs. about this action, maybe Mrs. will declare three Amitayus Buddha in her heart... She wishes you could get married soon. has made her reputation as a mother-in-law. There was a resolute look in his eyes.
To be honest, Gu Xiyan didn't want to marry so early, but as Duanniang said, the Gu family was indeed not a good place. Maybe getting married can really change the living environment.
Duan Niang hurriedly said: "Girl, Jinxin mentioned seven or eight to me, I think this is the best." There is no mother-in-law to control it, and there is no concubine to fight with... Girl, you'll have to listen to me this time. There was a hint of pleading in his tone.
Gu Xiyan looked at Duan Niang's concerned face, and a warm current surged through her heart.
In Duanniangdi's eyes, she is already an unmarried woman of appropriate age!
If the mother in the previous life was still alive, she would have been forced to go on a blind date with half begging and half asking like this!
Gu Xiyan blinked his eyes, not letting the tears in his eyes slip out, and nodded deeply.
All right. Well, then go on a blind date! Who knows where fate will come from!
Gu Xiyan is quite confident in her current appearance. In any case, being able to dress up beautifully and make the other person stunned will greatly satisfy the vanity of being a woman, and it can also regulate her mood that has been low for all this time.
May is the time of bright and beautiful spring scenery.
Gu Xiyan and Duanniang took Moju Hongxing and Mama Tian to Qixia to view the incense together, and there were more than a dozen strong men with big shoulders and round waists, and a few of them were still bulging with their waists, which were borrowed by Mrs. Gu from the Liu family, and it was said that they were Liu Zuocheng's personal guards, all of whom were extraordinary. The duel can ensure the safety of the female dependents.
Gu Xiyan knew that this was to ensure the safety of the female dependents, and it was to monitor them in disguise! However, who let himself have a bad record, Mrs. Gu's worries are understandable.
She lifted the curtain and looked out, the sun was warm and the spring breeze was light, the green trees spit out leaves and buds, the road was full of people and cars, mixed with the roar of the horsewhip. It's just that the pedestrians on the side of the road wearing rough clothes and ragged shirts with vegetables on their faces add a touch of gloom to the good times of May.
Duan Niang leaned on the big pillow in the car and said: "I don't know what the old lady is busy with in the past two days, I have to wait for a long time to call a small guy in the front yard to set up a car, I am worried that I will go to Qixiaguan without Suiyi, Mrs. This time the arrangement is very thorough." ”
Gu Xiyan's attention was attracted by the shouting and scolding outside the window. I saw a young knight in his early twenties riding a handsome horse with a black body without a trace of miscellaneous hair, deftly shuttling around the carriage in front and behind, causing the horses to stir from time to time, provoking the coachmen who were driving the cars couldn't help but curse. That is, the time of the blink of an eye. The knight sped past Gu Xiyan's carriage. The Gu family pulled the cart and the ground horse was also startled and neighed. Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to see the knight's appearance clearly. The man was in his early twenties, with swords and eyes. Rhinoplasty and thin lips, but there is no trace of domineering color on the longitudinal horse avenue, between the eyebrows is like a beautiful scenery and moon, heroic and compelling, the reins of the hand are distinct, white and slender.
Sitting in the carriage that had been bumped a few times before it stabilized, Gu Xiyan blushed his cheeks.
It's so familiar, where have you seen it?
Duan Niang patted her chest and complained: "Under the blue sky and white sun, there are even horses galloping, I really don't know whose skirt boy it is!" ”
Gu Xiyan's eyes lit up. Ah, it's the young man who met the ground in the Hou family's tea shed, who seems to be a dart master.
She lifted the curtain again to visit, but all she could see was a cloud of loess splashed by the horse's hooves.
Gu Xiyan put down the curtain and smiled slightly.
It's really a place in life where we don't meet!
Duan Niang easily eased the discomfort of being bumped by the carriage, and said, "Girl, don't lift the curtain, so as not to cause any trouble!" ”
Gu Xiyan lowered the curtain of the car in a kind manner. There's really nothing to see outside, the traffic is chaotic, it's dusty, and you can see on the road from time to time...
It's a long and boring journey.
Gu Xiyan chatted with Duan Niang: "Let's take Mama Tian like this, it doesn't matter!" ”
Duan Niang smiled: "My silly girl, can't we still set up a table with Mei Gongzi to drink tea face to face." ”
Gu Xiyan was shocked: "Then what's the look?" ”
Duan Niang covered her mouth and laughed: "We are considered to have left early, if we hurry up, we can rush to Qixiaguan before lunch, if there are many people, we will have to arrive at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it will take four or five hours to turn around, so we will naturally live in Qixiaguan for one night." In the afternoon, you can rest for a while, and I will visit Jinxin, and then we will discuss the place to meet... According to my meaning, the next morning, after giving incense to the great god of Xiantian, we went to Qingzhutang with Jinxin to drink tea, and let the ninth prince of the Jiang family wait in the hall with Master Mei, and we took a look at it when we went to the elegant seat on the second floor!
