Chapter Twenty-Seven: Summer Vacation in July
At the beginning of July, Huizhou Mansion has entered the midsummer season, and the people who are hot are wilting, and their appetite is lost, and they are upset, and their hearts are irritable and depressed.
The eldest lady Ning saw that one or two of the people in the house were in such a bitter summer, and the three children had also lost a lot of weight, so she immediately decided to go to Qiyun Mountain in Xiuning County, Huizhou Prefecture to spend the summer.
Gu Mansion is halfway up Qiyun Mountain, and there is a mountain forest Zhuangzi. Qiyun Mountain is full of green fields, dense bamboo forests and quiet environment, but it is not a good place to escape the heat.
Approaching the day of returning to Beijing, the Ning family did not plan to go to Qiyun Mountain to escape the summer, not to mention the tiring travel, and the arrangement and liquidation of some things had to be delayed for a long time. When I returned to Beijing, I was in a hurry and time was tight.
But the heat is unbearable, Gu Zheng and Ning still hold on, how can the three children endure it. The health of the children is the top priority, and the Gu Mansion is still in full swing to arrange the summer vacation.
The news was still "keenly" captured by Aunt Fang of Qunfang Pavilion, her eyes rolled around, thinking about what kind of means should be used to be with the mansion, the weather in this Huizhou Mansion was even more difficult than the summer in the capital.
Besides, staying alone in this Gu Mansion, how can he get close to Gu Zheng's side, if he can get the favor of the lord in the summer resort and give birth to a son to gain a firm foothold.
Gu Nianxun: Phew.
Regardless of how this group of Fang Pavilion people planned and planned, the Ning family was busy arranging many matters for the summer vacation.
First of all, the personnel, the Ning family and the three children must be the main ones, and their respective nurses and mothers are also old, so it is definitely not appropriate to stay in the city, and they all have to follow together.
Although Gu Zheng has official duties, but his wife and children go to the mountains and villages together, how can he put his mind at ease. Then they also followed, and the affairs that could be exchanged by letter were okay in the Zhuangzi, and those that could not be solved were dealt with every ten days when they went down the mountain and returned to their homes.
During the discussion, no one mentioned Aunt Fang, who was still waiting for news in Qunfang Pavilion, a concubine who was sent by the capital to ignore the master's mother's knowledge, and the people of Huizhou Mansion did not take her seriously. Besides, a concubine is not a master.
Aunt Fang waited from dawn to dark, and when the lights went out, she didn't see anyone to inform her about the summer vacation, which shows how much the house doesn't take her seriously, and it must be the "credit" of the Ning family and the eldest daughter.
Aunt Fang stared viciously in the direction of the main courtyard, and the hands placed on the Eight Immortals Table were all strangled with crimson marks because they were too hard.
Mama Yang is upset for her master, she was sent by the old lady to Aunt Fang's side on an errand, Changfang acted like this, that is, regardless of the old lady's face and status, it also slapped her in the face.
"This eldest lady really has no rules at all, but my aunt came to Huizhou Mansion on the order of the old lady, and she didn't even inform us of the major events in the mansion such as summer vacation, which shows that the respect for the old lady on weekdays is all false."
If Gu Nianxun saw Mama Yang's appearance at this time, she would definitely laugh out loud again.
"Mama, she is the main mother, I am a concubine, and my different identities are naturally incomparable." Although Aunt Fang is very dissatisfied with the current situation, she still has brains.
Mama Yang suddenly had a feeling of hating iron but not steel, and continued: "Yes, Ning's is her own mother, if the eldest master sends a message to let her aunt go with her, and her husband is his wife, then what else does Ning's say?"
When these words were spoken, Aunt Fang's heart was also moved. Ning, as the mother of the head of the house, naturally can't tolerate her as a concubine in her eyes. If you can talk about the big master, first, you can make a thin face in front of the master, and secondly, let everyone in the house see that there are no men who don't love beauty, and if you have the favor of the big man, it is equivalent to slapping the ugly faces of those villains.
(Gu Zheng: Don't suffer Lao Tzu.) )
Mama Yang looked at Aunt Fang's expression and knew that she agreed, so she hurriedly continued to add firewood and said: "It just so happened that Mama I stewed yam pork ribs porridge during dinner, and it was warming on the stove, so my aunt sent it to the study in the front yard. If my aunt can stay overnight, it will be a great opportunity. “
Aunt Fang couldn't help but blush when she heard the "staying" second son in Mama Yang's mouth, she was nominally Gu Zheng's concubine, but she was still a veritable yellow flower girl.
Although this trip has other purposes and does not speak, at this time, the deep love between men and women in the world, how can she, as one of thousands of women, not have expectations and fantasies in her heart.
Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud.
It can only be said that Aunt Fang's affection is really in the wrong place and in the wrong person.
However, Aunt Fang's actions showed that she didn't think so. Aunt Fang had made up her mind, and hurriedly called the slave to dress up, and her already beautiful face became more attractive because of a touch of shyness and charm, I have to say that this is really a double difficult test for men physically and mentally.
After cleaning up, Aunt Fang took the two maidservants, carrying the yam pork rib porridge "carefully" boiled by Mama Yang, and walked gracefully to the main courtyard.
In the four directions of the Fuzhong, what news can't reach every corner. Without waiting for Aunt Fang to walk out of Qunfang Pavilion for fifty steps, Gu Nianxun and the eldest lady Ning also received the news.
"Can't you hold it back?" When the news came, Gu Nianxun was lying on his side, reading "The Art of War" taken from Gu Zheng's study, thinking that Aunt Fang was going to use a beauty trick, but unfortunately, even if her leg was broken tonight, this plan would definitely not succeed.
Here, the eldest lady Ning listened to the report of her subordinates, that is, Yun smiled lightly, obviously not paying attention to it at all. I don't know if Aunt Fang will vomit blood in anger when she sees the eldest lady's reaction.
Aunt Fang was still immersed in the fantasy of tonight, and only then did she realize that her legs were sore, but she had not yet seen the shadow of the tiles in the study of the main courtyard, and her heart was full of resentment and dissatisfaction with the Ning family, thinking that she would be at ease if she was placed in a remote courtyard.
Finally, before Aunt Fang came to the collapse, she arrived outside the door of Gu Zheng's study in the front yard. Aunt Fang adjusted her messy breathing, straightened out the wrinkles on her body, put on a charming and bewitching smile, and asked the maid to go and pass it out.
In the study, Gu Zheng, who was dealing with the tax affairs of the current season in Jiangnan, was stunned for a moment when he heard the little maid inform Aunt Fang that she wanted to see her, and then found out Aunt Fang and her vague appearance from her memories.
A few days ago, I heard from my wife that Aunt Fang was sent to Jiangnan, but he didn't take it to heart, thinking that it was just an aunt, and even the minions of the third room couldn't set off any wind and waves.
Gu Zheng looked at the night, could he still not know what this Aunt Fang had in mind.
Presumably along the way, it is Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it. Gu Zheng's face did not change, and he said to the door, "Let her in."
Hearing Gu Zheng's voice, Aunt Fang couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart, twisting her body and walking towards the study.
When she arrived in front of Gu Zheng, Aunt Fang bowed weakly: "Concubine Fang, meet the master." After speaking, he didn't forget to deliver Qiubo to the people present, but Gu Zheng pretended to be invisible, and still focused on his own affairs.
After the strange silence, Aunt Fang's figure was already swaying from side to side, and she was about to be unable to support it, so Gu Zheng made a sudden appearance and let Aunt Fang get up.
Aunt Fang's spring was poured from beginning to end by Gu Zheng's basin of cold water, and she also knew that Gu Zheng had set a rule for her.
"Fang Clan, I came here at night today, but what's the matter?" Gu Zheng's tone didn't sound like he was talking to a concubine, but to a subordinate.
Aunt Fang's heart was half cold in an instant.
"I shouldn't have disturbed the lord to deal with government affairs, but I was ordered by the old lady to take care of the lord's body, so I didn't settle down in Qunfang Pavilion and stewed this yam pork rib porridge and sent it to the lord. This is also the heart of the old lady's fist and love son. “
Seeing Gu Zheng's reaction, Aunt Fang also knew that this was not a good time to mention the matter of summer vacation, and moving out of the old lady could understand a thing or two compared to Gu Zheng. After all, the world is big, and filial piety is the greatest.
Gu Zheng didn't think so, this aunt didn't leave the old lady every word, obviously she wanted to use chicken feathers as arrows.
"Fang's family, when you come to Huizhou Mansion, settle down, don't touch your hands if you shouldn't think about it, remember, the backyard of the Gu Mansion is all decided by Madame alone."
