Chapter 16 As if it were two people
Gu Qing was full of black lines on his forehead, how could this little boy talk so badly? She couldn't cry or laugh, walked up and squatted down slightly and touched Wei Cai's head, grinning, "Sister is so smart and smart, how can she be stupid?"
After saying this, there was silence in the air for two seconds, and the palanquin man couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, it was the first time they had heard a woman boast like this.
Wei Cai glared at her, slapped her hand down, and couldn't speak angrily, just now he said that he didn't have a little girl to confess, and the next second he was teased by the older sister in front of him.
"Wei Cai, go home. ”
Wei Cai was thinking about how to retaliate against her, when a sudden sound came from the sedan chair, and he had to listen to Gongzi's words obediently, and secretly wrote down Gu Qing's appearance in his heart.
"I'll settle accounts with you next time. He squeezed out these words from between his teeth, from childhood to adulthood, because of his arrogant temperament, no one dared to approach him, even the maids in the house were afraid to avoid him, he only had one person who could be approached, and that was his own son.
What is it? Gu Qing was dumbfounded, but he just touched his head, as if he had a deep hatred.
"Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. With Wei Cai's shout, the sedan chair man lifted the sedan chair, and the jujube red sedan chair slowly moved forward. Gu Qing looked at the figure of the sedan chair leaving, and his mind was filled with two words, Xiangfu.
Is he from the Prime Minister's Mansion?
As the summer heat became thicker and stronger, the air was filled with a sultry atmosphere, and Yu Niang gave Gu Qing a death order, so she could only stay in the courtyard, and she couldn't take half a step out of the house. Fortunately, in the scorching sun, even if Gu Qing wanted to play, he didn't have the strength, so he nested in the room all day, eager to wrap his whole body with ice cubes.
Ah Huan said that when she went to the kitchen for lunch, she heard some maids whispering that the eldest lady was sick. It's a very hot day, and I usually have a bad appetite, but now I'm sick again, and I have even less food to eat.
They also said that the eldest lady had lost a lot of weight. ”
Gu Qingzheng was drinking mung bean soup, and when he heard Ah Huan finish speaking, he raised his head, and Ah Huan laughed out loud when he saw her appearance. The soup was too thick, and after Gu Qing drank it with a bowl, a circle was drawn around his mouth.
"Yes, the whole person is gone, and Ning'er is not by her side, this disease, I'm afraid it will take a while to get better. Yu Niang deeply sympathizes, I don't know what Qing'er should do in the house after she gets married?
Gu Qing didn't pity Liu Ye, the many unprovoked bullying in her previous life made her already see through this eldest lady, and now she can live a stable life, completely because of her temper that does not suffer.
Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, Gu Qing thinks so.
"Later, let's go see her, the old man is busy with court affairs all day long, he goes out early and returns late, and he can't see anyone during the day. She's sick now, and someone should go and greet her. ”
After Yu Niang said this, Gu Qing did not object, nor did she support, she felt that it was right if people didn't offend me, I wouldn't offend people, why bother to provoke others for no reason? But my mother has always been soft-hearted, if she said this, my mother would definitely be angry.
Mother never seemed to fight. Since Gu Qing became conscious, whether it was gold and silver treasures or her father's favor, to her, it was just like a piece of clothing that could be discarded at will, and so far, apart from herself, Gu Qing had not seen what her mother valued.
"Let's go back when the sun goes down, it'll be cool then. Ah Huan answered.
Yu Niang smiled gently: "Okay." ”
Gu Qing felt dizzy listening to the conversation between the two of them, and he just slept in the summer heat, so he lay on the couch in a daze and fell asleep.
When I woke up, the sun was setting, and there was no one in the yard, so I guessed that I went to Yuyuan, Gu Qing rubbed his eyes, took an apple from the table and began to walk around the house.
Gu Ning's yard has long been empty, and there are still maids who come to clean it every morning to ensure that the first layer is clean. I don't know how my sister is doing in the Etiquette Division, I heard my mother say that the housekeepers and mothers-in-law there are all big people with heads and faces in the palace, and their status and temper are definitely not small, maybe during this time in the Etiquette Division, those women who want to enter the palace have to spend their time trying to please them.
Thinking wildly, his footsteps followed the fragrance to the kitchen, the cook was busy inside, sweat soaked the thin clothes, and a maid who had made a hand was the first to find Gu Qing, and saluted in a proper manner.
In the past, Gu Qing's image in the mansion was that he kept to himself and didn't cause trouble, and he just swallowed it openly and secretly, just to be able to ask for a peaceful life in the mansion, but it didn't turn out to be satisfactory. A few days ago, she dared to argue head-on, which surprised many people, and they agreed with her identity in their hearts.
The maids were trying to make a fire, and they fanned it for a long time, but the fire was not lit, and there was a miasma of black smoke in the kitchen. Gu Qing covered her nose and was about to leave this place where it was easy to provoke fire, when suddenly a smell of wine wafted into her nose, mixed with a smoky taste, the taste was faint, and she was about to walk out and stopped again, looking for the source of the aroma of wine.
It was originally a small jar of unsealed wine placed on the stove, Gu Qing picked it up with both hands and smelled it, ah! It was really fragrant, the color was like amber, yellow and transparent, and it was a good wine at a glance. She was suspicious now, her father often went home for several days outside the office, and women like her mother didn't know how to drink, so who was this wine for?
As if she had seen through her thoughts, the cook wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with one hand, and explained: "This was prepared by the eldest young master, and he said that he would bring it to him at dinner." ”
Gu Mo?
Gu Qing was even more puzzled now, didn't Gu Mo she knew not know how to drink? Why did she take the initiative to ask for help now? They rolled their big eyes, sealed the wine jar, held it in their hands, and said to the cook with a smile: "I happen to have something to find my eldest brother, so I will bring this wine with me, and I don't have to bother the cook to make this trip." ”
The cook is forty years old, and for Gu Qing, she should be an elder, so she uses your word here.
I never thought that the cook took the hand of the dishes and chopsticks, her lips opened and she couldn't speak for a while, they were like subordinates, and they suffered the low eyes of the masters in the house, and the monthly salary was also pitiful, and over time, they acquiesced to their inferior status. At this moment, when she heard this respectful word from Gu Qing's mouth, it touched the feelings in her heart.
Gu Qing was completely unaware of the cook's psychological activities, she was carrying the wine jar at the moment, and walked towards Gu Mo's courtyard with great interest, thinking about how to ridicule her pretending to be cold eldest brother.
The cook watched Gu Qing's figure gradually leave, and the maid who was lighting the fire on the side also came over with a big flower face, and said solemnly in the cook's ear: "I feel that the third lady seems to have changed somehow." ”
The cook was looking intently at the distant back, and was thinking about something in her heart, when she was suddenly startled by the girl's voice, and patted her chest in fear, blaming her: "Why don't you do things soon? Dinner time is almost coming, and even the fire hasn't been lit." ”
The maid pouted, and had to squat back behind the stove to make a fire, and before long, there was another puff of smoke in the kitchen.
