023 Gu Sanqi people
Don't care if something is wrong, Cheng Xueyan will do what she says. As a result, the Cheng Mansion has often seen the following picture recently...... A well-bloomed flower tree suddenly shook like a convulsion, while the forest next to it was very calm, and when I rushed to find out, I saw a few scattered petals hanging on the tip of the grass for some reason. Then something even stranger happened, in previous years, this season, Xinyuan was a splendid spring, and this year, the flowers in the garden are getting fewer and fewer day by day, leaving only the stamens standing pitifully at the end of the flower stem. Although the wind and sun are beautiful, there is still a state of wind and cold.
And Yanran Pavilion is lively and gorgeous, the courtyard is covered with various colors of silk, and the breeze passes through, just like rolling colorful waves.
"Bitong, pick a stone and press the blue corner, the wind is a little strong today, be careful to blow the petals below, our hard work will be in vain......"
Cheng Xueyan found a stone by herself to press the water-red silk at hand, and moved another stone uneasily, adjusting the appropriate distance, and instructed Bitong.
Bi Tong pressed the silk corners and wiped her sweaty sideburns with a handkerchief.
In the past few days, he has been collecting petals with his master, and almost all the flowers in the yard have been destroyed, and then they are not classified into categories, so they are spread all over the yard and dried.
She is the big girl in the house, what she does on weekdays is nothing more than serving tea and water, because of Bingtong's "rebellion", the task of combing her hair and choosing clothes also falls on herself, but now she is doing the work of a rough girl, but since even the master has done it himself, and she is still interested, she can't say anything.
Master...... It's really different......
She looked at her master's white and red face, and the beads of sweat were like shining beads, looking like white peony lingering in the morning light.
"Girl, these petals should be enough, right?"
Cheng Xueyan looked at it, and the colorful colors that did not leave a trace of open space were almost dazzling. She occasionally gushes out a sense of guilt...... Alas, what a luxury! More of them are worried, although according to her design, these petals are only used for a moment, but they still seem to be a little insufficient.
"If you take it off again, Madame will ask about it......" Bitong bit her lip.
At the beginning, the girl said that in order to avoid being found to only collect fallen flowers, but the color of the fallen flowers withered and the number of small amounts, the result was temporarily used to pluck the goose feathers and pick flowers, but somehow developed to the locust predatory type, and now the flowers in several places in the garden are bald, and yesterday the third girl Cheng Xueyao has complained that there is no flower plug. In fact, she only likes to wear gold and jade on weekdays, and she doesn't even look at those flowers, but now she knows where she learned that Yanran Pavilion uses flower petals here, and she must have deliberately reminded her to pay attention to it.
Bitong began to be afraid. Although the lady doesn't like the eldest girl, she can only blame and be dissatisfied, but if she knows that she is involved...... Cheng Fu's heaviest punishment for the girl was not necessarily to drive her out of the house, but to take off her dress and kneel in front of the shadow wall to visit. Although he is not beaten, what face is still alive? In the fourth year of her entry into the house, she once saw the spring girl in the lady's room being punished like this for a day, and as a result, she hanged herself that night.
Under the warm spring sun, she still shivered involuntarily.
"Maybe it's about the same, anyway, there's still time, if it's not enough, let's wait until there are new flowers."
Cheng Xueyan didn't notice Bitong's suddenly pale face.
She really doesn't know enough about Cheng Fu, but she knows how much that in such an era, the lives of ordinary people are like mustard. It's okay to be punished yourself, but you can't affect others.
After listening to the master's words, Bitong's heart was only half lowered, and the other half was still hanging in her throat, for fear that the master would take her to pick flowers one day.
But she didn't have to think about it, and the master had a new trick.
The master asked her to get a long rope, studied the fan borrowed from the second lady and the second girl's house for a long time, wrapped the rope around the shaft, and then quickly pulled the rope to force the fan to rotate quickly. At this time, the eldest prince dismantled the fan of Mo Yizhai and sent it over.
The master was happy and sad: "The two still can't figure it out, and now there is another ......"
Cheng Cangyi helped to get it for a long time, and his head was full of sweat, but he couldn't achieve the effect of "turning together to achieve the maximum wind" as Cheng Xueyan said.
The boudoir couldn't stay for a long time, so Cheng Cangyi had to leave in a huff, and before leaving, he said that he would find someone to find a way.
Bi Tong saw that the master was pouting and pouting, and he couldn't help at all, so he couldn't help but sigh: "If Gu Sangongzi is here, there will definitely be a way......"
Gu Sangongzi? Gu Haoxuan?
Cheng Xueyan blinked, by the way, how did she forget about this inventor. It's just that no matter how capable he is, it's not easy for her to find this person. An ancient woman, she didn't step out of the door, not to mention that person was her so-called ex-husband? Even in modern times, she is not a large number of characters who "love is not in friendship", but she is still quite curious about this person who always wants to talk when Bi Tong mentions it.
"Bitong, what kind of person is Gu Sangongzi?"
Bi Tong quickly turned her gaze, her fingers unconsciously stirring the emerald blue belt.
Why is this person mentioned again? In case the girl is stimulated......
"I know you have scruples, but I really don't remember this person at all. Anyway, being idle is idle, and it's boring for me to do this alone, you tell me something about the past, and I'll listen to it as a story. ”
Bi Tong took a closer look at the master's face, and he was really buried in his career.
She relaxed her nerves, but she still weighed the weight. To be honest, she told her master a lot of things in the past, and what she wanted to talk about most was this Gu Haoxuan, because ......
"Speaking of this Third Young Master Gu, he is really a person who laughs." She blinked and couldn't help laughing: "Taiwei Gu has three sons and one daughter under his knees, all of whom are from Mrs. Gu. Speaking of which, although Mrs. Gu is in a high position, he only has one wife, does the girl know why? ”
"Could it be that Mrs. Gu is too powerful?" Cheng Xueyan was busy without raising her head.
"Sometimes I really suspect that the girl lied to the slave when she said that she had lost her memory." Bi Tong's eyebrows fluttered: "Gu Haoran is the eldest son, and he became a household servant in the first three years." Everyone said that it was because of Mrs. Gu, but they only said it in private. The eldest prince Gu is young and promising, handsome and extraordinary, and naturally has a group of wives and concubines......"
Bi Tong pouted when she said this: "Gu Haoren is the second son." Speaking of Gu Ergongzi, he is really a good person, but it's a pity that a good person doesn't have a good life, he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he has to lie in bed for 300 days a year, except for reading books or reading books. Because of him, it took a lot of work to marry a wife. Although he is the son of Taiwei, no woman in any family is willing to marry a sick man, for fear of ...... I may not be right, but it's true. As a result, the second grandmother was a straightened girl, or in the second year of the marriage between the girl and the third son, Mrs. Gu easily agreed. She is naturally dissatisfied with the identity of the second grandmother, but what can she do? However, the second son and the second grandmother are both good people, and they never beat and scold their subordinates, but why don't good people have a good life? ”
Bi Tong lost her mind and smiled again: "Gu Sangongzi is said to be smart and clever since he was a child, and he will memorize "Hundred Family Names" as soon as he can speak, and he can read it when he is a little older, which is most pleasing to Mrs. Gu." But Gu Taiwei often looked at him unpleasantly, saying that he was not doing his job. Also, Gu Sangongzi is smart and smart, but he never uses it for business. Gu Taiwei asked him to take the test to gain fame, he said, 'It is enough to have a father who is a captain and a big brother who is a household servant in the family, there is no need to make the mansion official', and Gu Taiwei was half angry. Not only does he not study, but he also likes to make friends, but he is mostly a nobody, and he spends his days in drunken flowers......"
The voice stopped abruptly, Bi Tong cautiously glanced at Cheng Xueyan, and saw that she was indifferent, so she was relieved to continue.
"He doesn't do anything, just eat, drink and have fun, so people give him the nickname 'Gu Sanxian', sometimes he is called three idle and three idle, he should also, and laugh. Alas, if he had not been so unprofessional, he would have been a good man. In fact, for him, Mrs. Gu didn't worry less, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the door in person to ask the girl to marry. The girl was only fifteen years ago, and the old man had other arrangements for the girl, and the girl herself ......" Bi Tong blinked her eyes, if she mentioned someone, I don't know how the girl would react: "But in this way, coupled with Mrs.'s strong promotion, in fact, she is not afraid that the girl will press her in the future?" ”
"How do you say that?"
"The girl doesn't know, according to the girl's conduct, it is not a problem to enter the palace as a mother, and at that time the new emperor ascended the throne, the rear position was vacant, if the girl entered the palace, then the queen was afraid that it would be ......"
Bi Tong hurriedly silenced her voice, listened attentively, and did not find the ear of the wall, but below she tried her best to lower her voice: "If the girl becomes the queen, even if it is just a concubine, then the lady will give the girl a big gift when she enters the palace in the future, can she be willing?" Besides, she knows that she has always been bad to the girl, so she is naturally worried that the girl will retaliate against her in the future, and marrying into the Taiwei Mansion, or the Gu Sanxian who everyone thinks will not be successful, there is no need to be afraid that the girl will be higher than her, and the Taiwei Mansion is a decent destination after all, this is humane to outsiders, and it cannot be said that she has treated the girl badly, in addition, although Gu Sanxian is also a handsome son, but it makes people feel uneasy, so the girl's life is sad, she doesn't ......"
Cheng Xueyan felt a chill in her heart when she heard this. I used to think that my stepmother was terrible, and she either beat or scolded her children, but I didn't want to have such a profound calculation in addition to beating and scolding. Marriage...... Conspiracy...... Could it be that Bitong is thinking too much?
Everything turned out to be as she wished. The girl asked Gu Sanxian to study, but he refused, let him stay at home and honor his parents, but he refused. Not only did he refuse, but he also said that the girl was a rigid old antique like Gu Taiwei, so angry that Gu Taiwei taught him a hard lesson with family methods. It's good, Half Moon can't get out, but it's causing more trouble......"
