Chapter 21: The Old Marquis Summons
Chao Li turned his head and saw Tsing Yi come in with two bowls of things, and knew in his heart that there was a bowl for Gu Hanzhang.
"Tsing Yi, let's drink a bowl by ourselves."
Tsing Yi immediately shook his head, "No, miss, this is the Hou Mansion, and there must be no deviation in action." Today, when the young lady and the prince were in the house, the lady sent someone to call the slave maid to say a few words, and specially told the slave and maid to remind the young lady that the Hou Mansion is not comparable to the court. ”
Hearing this, a hint of clarity flashed in Chao Li's eyes.
In Fang Huimin's eyes, she and Gu Hanzhang get along well, but the back house still has to pay attention.
Even if she hadn't seen the princess Dessau, Fang Huimin knew that she was not a good person, so Tsing Yi reminded her on the side.
"I understand, but even Princess Dessau can't control the affairs of my house." Chao Li said lightly.
Tsing Yi thought about it, it was indeed this reason, and he didn't shirk it.
But it's okay to drink sweet soup, but it's not okay to sit down, so you still have to pay attention.
Chao Li was not too reluctant to Tsing Yi, knowing that she couldn't let go, so he drank sweet soup and sat down to rest.
The night is gradually coming, and there is nothing to do after dinner, so I lean against the window and watch the night.
There was hardly anything to see in the winter night, not as dazzling as the stars in the summer, and she wasn't really admiring the night, at most she was thinking about things.
The room was lit with candles and was very warm, and Chaoli fell into deep thought.
Listening to the rain pavilion is in the east chamber of Gu Hanzhang's courtyard, and the study is in the west chamber, the distance is not too far, it happens to be face to face, that is, there is a big pool between them.
The two did not meet a few days ago, but in fact, it was intentional and deliberately avoided.
In addition, there is another possibility, that is, the pool between the east and west compartments is too large, and the habits of the two are different before they have not met.
The courtyard was quiet, whether it was Gu Hanzhang or Chao Li.
At night, the maid rarely walks around the yard.
Chao Li leaned by the window, thinking about Gu Hanzhang's unexpected actions today.
From the day of marriage to the present, Gu Hanzhang seems to have spoken more than before, and in his previous life, he only said a little more to her half a year after he got married.
I thought that her rebirth would not change much, but I still ignored that small changes can cause big changes.
To this day, she doesn't know what will happen to others if she makes the change.
From the day she was born again, her life would take a different path.
It doesn't hurt to know what the subtle variables are, just that the tragedy doesn't happen again.
Suddenly, a door in the west chamber was opened, and it was too late for Chaoli to close the window, and Gu Hanzhang's figure had already appeared by the window.
As if he didn't expect Chao Li to also lean by the window, Gu Hanzhang lost his mind for a moment, and then turned to leave.
Chao Li pursed his lips, he didn't want to see her, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it!
As if angry, Chaoli closed the window directly, and returned to the bed to cover the quilt and rest.
I don't know if it's because of the anger in my heart, I slept away from this and dreamed of a lot of pictures in my previous life.
When she woke up the next day, she raised her hand to her cheek and reminded herself of the fact that she was still alive and well.
After freshening up, Zhaocai asked to see him outside.
Chao Liduan sat in the front hall and let Tsing Yi bring Zhaocai in.
"Princess, the old marquis sent someone to invite you over."
In her previous life, the old marquis did call her over after she got married, and she couldn't remember exactly what day it was, but she only remembered that there were Princess Deshao and Gu Xiyue's mother and son.
Obviously, Princess Dessau and Gu Xiyue will not forget to give her a good face, and the same is true in front of the old marquis.
The old marquis is an upright person, and he likes to read books in the study in winter, which Gu Hanzhang thought was with him.
"I see." Chao Li waved his hand.
It was obvious that Chaoli meant to let Zhaocai go down, but Zhaocai didn't move, and he looked at Chaoli with an embarrassed face.
"What do you have to say, what are you going to do?" Tsing Yi rolled his eyes.
"The princess." Zhaocai shrank a little, "That's what you said, to clean up the study for the prince, if the prince deducts the monthly example of the slave, you make up for it, is this count?" ”
Before Chaoli could answer, Tsing Yi couldn't sit still.
"My young lady is a dignified princess, will she still be short of your little silver?" Tsing Yi glared at Zhaocai.
Zhaocai touched the back of his head, "Of course the slave knows that the princess does not lack the silver of the slave, isn't this just to say." ”
"You!" Tsing Yi air knot.
"Okay, Zhaocai has been deducted from the monthly case, Tsing Yi will make up for him, you can go down." Wave your hand at the distance.
Zhao Caile bowed and left, and Tsing Yi followed him to get the money.
Although Chaoli is only the daughter of the minister of the fourth grade, she has an uncle and grandfather who love her.
Whether it was Fang Yaohui or Fang Zhengye, they were at the border, and there was nothing they needed to use silver, and the silver money of the two of them was brought back to Fang Huimin.
And although Fang Huimin loves Chaolu deeply, she cares about her daughter the most, and she gives Chaoli the most of her head.
Therefore, Chaoli itself is not short of money.
Therefore, she didn't pay attention to the monthly case of Zhaocai being deducted by Gu Hanzhang at all, at most she was curious that Gu Hanzhang would punish Zhaocai for this matter.
Obviously, he must be quite happy to sleep in the study, isn't he?
Chao Li cleaned up before calling Tsing Yi to go to the old marquis's Songhe Courtyard, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was invited in, and it was the old marquis Gu Yuan's study.
The door of the study was opened, and there were two people guarding the door, both of whom were confidants who had followed Gu Yuan for many years.
When he arrived at the door, Tsing Yi was left behind, and Chao Li stepped in.
"Chaoli has seen Master Hou." Towards the blessed body.
As he saw in the previous life, Gu Yuan sat behind the desk in the study, with white hair, sharp eyes, and an indescribable momentum on his body, which was probably related to his previous battlefield.
In Chao Li's heart, she still admires this old marquis.
You must know that tiger poison does not eat children, and he ruthlessly cut off Gu Qinghai's fingers with his own hands, which shows that his courage is extraordinary.
Gu Yuan raised his hand gently, "No need to be polite, you are my granddaughter-in-law, just call me grandfather." ”
"Yes, grandfather." Towards the detachment should be down.
"I called you here today because I didn't attend the tea ceremony, and I am afraid that you will have a bad heart, so I will say a few words to you, which is not my intention. A few days ago, I was lingering on the sickbed, and the old wounds on my body recurred and the pain was unbearable, but today I got better, so I asked someone to invite you over. Gu Yuan smiled.
Even though he is in a high position, Gu Yuan is still upright in his bones and does not like to be misunderstood.
Chao Li also knew very well in his heart that Gu Yuan gave her face like this, hoping that she could get along with Gu Hanzhang, which was his love for his grandson.
"Grandfather, you left an old wound on the battlefield when you were young, this is the highest honor, and it is also a symbol of your protection of Daqi, Chaoli will not have any displeasure because you are injured and cannot attend the tea ceremony."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the door.
