Chapter 21

Chaoli turned his head and saw Tsing Yi came in with two bowls, he knew in his heart that one bowl was for Gu Hanzhang.

"Tsing Yi, let's have a bowl each."

Tsing Yi immediately shook her head, "No way, Miss, this is the Hou's Mansion, so there must be no deviation in things. Today, when Miss and the Crown Prince were in the house, the Madam sent someone to ask the servant to say a few words, and specially told the servant to remind the lady that the Hou's Mansion is not like court. government."

Hearing this, a gleam of understanding flashed in Chao Li's eyes.

In Fang Huimin's eyes, she and Gu Hanzhang got along well, and the back house still had to pay attention.

Even if she had never met the princess of Dessau, Fang Huimin knew that she was not a good person to get along with, so it was better for Tsing Yi to remind her.

"I understand, but even Princess Dessau can't control the things in my house." Chao Li said lightly.

Tsing Yi thought for a while, and found that this was indeed the reason, and he was not denying it.

But it’s okay to drink sweet soup, but it’s not okay to sit down, so you still have to be careful.

Chaoli didn't force Tsing Yi too much, knowing that she couldn't let go, so he drank sweet soup and sat down to rest.

The night is coming gradually, and after dinner there is nothing to do, Chaoli leans against the window to watch the night.

There is almost nothing to see in the winter night, not as dazzling as the starry sky in summer, and she is not really admiring the night, at most she is thinking about something.

The candlelight in the room was bright and very warm, and Chao Li fell into deep thought.

Tingyu Pavilion is in the east wing of Gu Hanzhang's courtyard, and the study is in the west wing. The distance is not too far, they happen to be facing each other, but there is a big pool between them.

The two didn't meet each other a few days ago, but it was actually intentional and they avoided it on purpose.

Another possibility is that the pool between the east and west compartments is too large, and the two have different habits so they didn't encounter it.

The yard is quiet, both Gu Hanzhang and Chaoli like it.

After nightfall, the maids seldom walk around in the yard.

Chao Liyi was by the window, thinking about Gu Hanzhang's unexpected actions today.

From the day of the wedding to the present, Gu Hanzhang seems to have talked more than before. In his previous life, he only talked a little more to her half a year after getting married.

I thought that her rebirth wouldn't change much, but I still overlooked that small changes can cause big changes.

To this day, she doesn't know what will happen to other people after making the change.

From the day of her rebirth, her life will take a different path.

It doesn't matter if you don't know the variables of the slight change, as long as the tragedy doesn't happen again.

Suddenly, a door of the west wing 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 that Chao Li was also leaning against the window, Gu Hanzhang lost his mind for a moment, then turned and left.

He pursed his lips toward Li, he didn't want to see her, and she didn't bother to pay attention!
As if angry, Chaoli closed the window directly, went back to the bed and put on the quilt to rest.

I don't know if it's because of the anger in my heart, when Chaoli slept, he dreamed of many scenes from his previous life.

When she woke up the next day, she raised her hand to touch her cheek, reminding herself of the fact that she was still alive and well.

After freshening up, Zhaocai went out to see her.

Sitting in the front hall, Chao Liduan asked Tsing Yi to bring Zhao Cai in.

"Concubine Shizi, Lord Hou sent someone to invite you over."

In the previous life, the old Marquis indeed called her over to tell her after she got married. She couldn't remember the exact date, but she only remembered that there were Princess Dessau and Gu Xiyue, 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 master.

Old Hou Ye is an upright person, and he likes to read in the study in winter, Gu Hanzhang probably followed him in this regard.

"I see." Chao Li waved his hand.

Obviously Chaoli meant to let Zhaocai continue, but Zhaocai didn't move, and looked at Chaoli with embarrassment.

"Just tell me what you have, what are you waiting for?" Tsing Yi rolled his eyes.

"Concubine Shizi." Zhaocai shrank a little, "It's what you said, if the son deducted the monthly regulations of the slaves and you made up for the matter of cleaning out the study for the son, does that count?"

Before Chaoli could answer, Tsing Yi couldn't sit still.

"My lady is a dignified concubine, will you still be short of your little money?" Tsing Yi glared at Zhaocai.

Zhaocai rubbed the back of his head, "Of course the slave knows that the concubine is not short of the slave's money, didn't he just say that."

"You!" Tsing Yi was angry.

"Okay, Lucky has been deducted from the monthly overpayment, Tsing Yi will make it up for him, you go down." Chao Li waved his hand.

Zhaocai Le Diandian saluted and left, Tsing Yi followed behind him to get the money.

Although Chaoli is only the daughter of a fourth-rank minister, she has an uncle and grandfather who love her dearly.

Both Fang Yaohui and Fang Zhengye were at the border, and they had nothing to spend money on, so Fang Huimin took back both of their money.

Although Fang Huimin loved Chaolu deeply, she cared most about her daughter, and gave Chaoli the bulk of her head.

Therefore, Chaoli itself is not short of money.

Therefore, she didn't pay much attention to the monthly case of recruiting money that was deducted by Gu Hanzhang. At most, she was curious that Gu Hanzhang would punish Zhaocai for this matter.

Obviously, he should be quite happy to sleep in the study, isn't he?

After Chaoli tidied up, he called Shang Tsing Yi to go to the Songhe Courtyard of the Old Hou Ye. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was invited in, and he went to the study of the old Hou Ye Gu Yuan.

The door of the study room was opened, and there were two people guarding the door, both of whom were confidantes who had followed Gu Yuan for many years.

At the door, Tsing Yi was left behind, and Chao Li stepped in.

"Chaoli has met Lord Hou." Chaoli blessed himself.

As seen in the previous life, Gu Yuan was sitting behind the table in the study, with white hair, sharp eyes, and an indescribable aura about him, probably related to his experience in the battlefield.

In Chaoli's heart, she still admired the old marquis very much.

You know, a tiger's venom does not eat its young, so he made up his mind to cut off Gu Qinghai's finger with his own hands, which shows that he has extraordinary courage.

Gu Yuan gently raised his hand, "You don't need to be too polite, you are my granddaughter-in-law, just call me grandfather."

"Yes, grandfather." Chaoli replied.

"I called you here today because I was not present on the day of the tea ceremony. I was afraid that you might feel resentful. I didn't mean to say a few words to you. I was lingering on the sick bed for the past few days, and the old injuries on my body recurred and the pain was unbearable. Ren, I got better today, 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 doesn't like to be misunderstood.

Chaoli also knew very well in his heart that Gu Yuan gave her face so much because he hoped that she and Gu Hanzhang could get along well. This was because of his love for his grandson.

"Grandfather, don't worry too much. You left old wounds on the battlefield when you were young. This is the highest honor and a symbol of your protection of Daqi. Chaoli will not feel any displeasure because you cannot attend the tea ceremony because of your injuries."

As soon as the words fell, footsteps sounded outside the door.
