Warm spring enters Hou's door
Chapter 74 It's getting better and better for you
Chapter 74 It's getting better and better for you
"I knew this a long time ago, sooner or later." Du Juan nodded, not very surprised.
Qin Shisan only nodded. "I also expected such a day. But since this day has come, you have to prepare as soon as possible. Otherwise, within three months, they will definitely find Yongxing County."
"I know. When her injury heals, we should take action." Du Juanqing immediately nodded.
"What did you say? Did I hear you right?" Hearing this, Qin Shisan was taken aback again, "Qilang, don't tell me that you even let her know about the iron mine! How long have you been together!"
"Actually, I told her half a month ago." Du Juanqing admitted honestly.
Qin Shisan's expression changed drastically. "You, you, you... how good is this little lady, who made you hand over your old background so quickly? Are you not afraid that she will go to Princess Taiping to inform her when she learns the news?"
"It turns out that she didn't. She also discussed with me how to get close to Mr. Di Ge and entrust the iron ore to Mr. Di Ge." Du Juanqing said slowly.
Qin Shisan opened his mouth, and suddenly found that he had nothing to say.
"In that case, you have identified her?" He finally asked again.
Du Juan nodded. "yes."
"Okay!" Qin Shisan nodded helplessly, "I also hope that you two will be fine, and don't be the same as last time—"
"Thirteenth brother!" Du Juanqing interrupted him suddenly.
Only then did Qin Shisan realize that he had slipped his mouth, and he quickly changed his words. "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. You just have to live with her now! She... is actually pretty good, and she is smart and capable. If you can really work together with you, that's a good thing .”
Only then did Du Juanqing nod his head again. "Of course."
It's just that this happened so suddenly that Qin Shisan's mind would still be in a mess for a while.He hurriedly left, went home to clear his mind, and then changed his wife to come and talk to Gu Caiwei.
Gu Caiwei was worrying about being bored in bed alone, Du Yi, a playful little guy, was busy with studies now, so he could only come to talk to her in the morning and evening every day.Mrs. Qin Shisan came over every two days now, just in time to bring her some latest news in Chang'an City, and she often commented with witty words, and the relationship between the two women became closer and closer.
The news that Gu Caiwei was bitten by a snake and was bedridden soon spread.Then within two days, Tian came here in a hurry after learning the news.
"My poor boy!"
As soon as she entered the door and saw Gu Caiwei lying on the bed with a pale face, Tian's tears flowed from her heart, she yelled shrilly and flew over, took Gu Caiwei's hand and began to cry loudly.
Gu Caiwei was unable to roll her eyes, so she could only let her cry enough, and then said in a low voice: "Aniang, don't worry, I'm fine. Lord Hou has asked the imperial doctor to come and see me, and the imperial doctor said that my body The residual poison is almost gone, now I just need to stay in bed for a few days and be fine."
"Even so, you have suffered a lot!" Tian said with sobs.
Although this person has a loud voice, cries badly, and tears and snot streaming down his face is even more ugly, but her love for her daughter is genuine.
Now that her mother is not around, only Tian Shi, Gu Caiqin's mother, is there. Gu Caiwei felt a little uncomfortable at first.But now hearing what Tian said, she couldn't help but her nose sore, and she almost shed tears.
The two quickly said a few more words, Gu Caiwei persuaded her a few words, Tian finally stopped crying.She held Gu Caiwei's hand again: "Aqin, although you are bitten by a snake, my mother is very distressed, but because of this, my mother is also very happy. Anyway, the relationship between you and your son-in-law has taken another step forward!"
what?
Gu Caiwei was stunned. "When did my relationship with him go further? Why don't I know?"
"Hey, you silly child!" Tian hurriedly poked her forehead, "Look, you are protecting them from snakes outside, which is a great kindness to them. Just for this, they I owe you everything in this life, and it’s not over! Besides, I heard that after you were bitten, the son-in-law became furious and beat all the people in the Hou’s mansion who were related to this matter, and some even beat them directly Died! Doesn't this show how important you are to him? And after dealing with the matter in the Hou's mansion, he was afraid that we would be sad, so he quickly sent someone to report to us at home, so that we should not worry about it. Look at this One by one, how well he did it, it means that he really puts you in his heart and hurts!"
Uh……
The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched. "When did he report to the Gu family? Is it such a trivial matter?"
"As for it, of course it is!" Tian nodded solemnly, "You are a good person, because the father and son were bitten like this, if he didn't show it, you see, I won't come and tear him alive! But, look For the sake of his good performance now, I won't care too much about him. As long as he treats you well in the future and allows you to secure the position of Mrs. Hou, then I can forgive him for not being able to protect you. "
"However!" Immediately she emphasized her tone again, "It's only this time, it won't work next time!"
The last words, rather than telling Gu Caiwei, she might as well say that she deliberately told this person in the Hou Mansion.So that these people can quickly pass the words to Du Juanqing's ears, so that he can know the direction of his future efforts!
Although this mother's way of reminding people is clumsy, her heart that loves her daughter is so warm and eager, and Gu Caiwei's heart is also warm.
"Don't worry, Auntie, Master Hou knows about it. Now he is also very kind to me." Gu Caiwei said hastily.
"Isn't that what you should do?" Tian said angrily, "You risked your life for him!"
But the premise of this matter is that she confronted Princess Jianchang in public!If Princess Jianchang had shrunk her neck to make fun of them when she was looking for trouble, then this incident would not have happened.Although, Gu Caiwei would never do such a thing.But in any case, since this kind of thing happened, it can't be blamed entirely on Du Juanqing for not being able to protect her. She loves to stir up trouble with her own cheap mouth, and that's the most important thing.
But I also know that this kind of words are unreasonable to Tian, so Gu Caiwei quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I think you look good, mother. It seems that dad has become more honest recently?"
"is not that right?"
Speaking of this, Tian became excited. "Ever since you and your son-in-law came to kill Tian Niang last time, your father has been very honest. In addition, didn't the son-in-law find another relationship to get your father promoted? He knew that after his official career But you have to rely on the son-in-law, but the son-in-law listens to you, so he can only please you by pleasing me, and of course he treats me very well. Now I said that I would give him two more concubines, but he said no. , He owed me too much before, he has to make it up to me!"
Speaking of this, her face flushed again, and her eyes were filled with deep joy.
Sure enough, she still had expectations for Gu Chengyuan in her heart.Now that Gu Chengyuan seems to have turned his back on it, and because of Du Juanqing's face, she treated her better, so she put aside her past suspicions and was so happy!
Gu Caiwei sighed inwardly, she just nodded. "That's good, then I can rest assured."
"Yeah, let me just say, you found this son-in-law well!" Mrs. Tian nodded hurriedly, and then said, "By the way, I'm leaving later, remember to say a few more words to your son-in-law so that he can find him in the future." If there is a chance, I will help my father again and let him continue to be promoted. His current official position is still too low. If he goes out and says that he is the father-in-law of Marquis Changning, it will still bring down the face of Marquis Changning! "
Gu Caiwei's face darkened. "Dad told you to say this?"
Tian's eyes flickered. "This is actually what I meant. Your father is already at this age. If he doesn't go up a few levels, then he will really die of old age in this position. Our old Gu's family finally got you out of the ancestral grave. Dad is such a scholar, so you must not let the family fortune be broken with him! And your younger brother, he has just entered school! If your father doesn’t become a high official soon, what will happen to your younger brother? What to do? Our old Gu's family now has only one seedling left!"
Gu Caiwei's face has completely cooled down at this moment.
"These words are taught to you by my father, right?"
Seeing her gloomy face, Tian suddenly became afraid. "Aqin, aren't we doing this for your own good? You are married to the Marquis Mansion alone. It's fine for you to be young now, but when you get old, you won't be as fresh and tender as you are now. At that time, there will be a young and beautiful lady. Seduce your son-in-law, what should you do if your son-in-law no longer loves you? At that time, you will need the support of your mother’s family. So now, we have to quickly find a way to make your father and younger brother gain a firm foothold in Chang’an City! "
In order to support her, Gu Chengfeng and his son wanted to climb up the ladder and become high officials. This logic seemed correct.However, their idea is - to use their own daughter to let them climb up, and then they will come back to support her!
To put it bluntly, they simply wanted to take advantage of her being favored now to make a fortune.If in the future she's old and lustful, she won't be favored... Hehe, it's no wonder that the father and son support her if they can keep their word!
Moreover, how long has it been since Du Juanqing promoted Gu Chengyuan?Gu Chengyuan's appetite started to whet his appetite again, and he offered to be promoted to a higher level. He even wanted Du Juanqing to promote his son!
Gu Chengyuan has been in Chang'an City for so long. Although he is not too successful, he is not a failure anyway.Then he should know what Du Juanqing's situation is in Chang'an City now - Du Juanqing's environment is definitely much worse than his!But as his father-in-law, he didn't even think about how to help his son-in-law, he just knew how to keep extracting benefits from his son-in-law, and even brainwashed Tian and let Tian come over to lobby, how could this person's clever mind not know How about using it on the righteous way?
"Impossible." Gu Caiwei refused coldly.
Tian was taken aback. "Aqin, why are you doing this? We did this for your own good!"
"Is it for my own good or for their own good? Think about it for yourself!" Gu Caiwei said angrily. I don’t even know. How did he throw you aside when he finished using you before, and then he and Tian Niang stayed and flew together. This past is still vivid! Now he treats you only because I can give him For the sake of bringing benefits. But don’t you know that because of me, Lord Hou and the Duke’s Mansion fell out? How much energy does Lord Hou have alone? We are still in a mess now, what? So much energy to help Dad climb up? And people have to be self-reliant, Dad is such a big man, why do you still hope to climb up by nepotism? Is he still a man?"
On the one hand, Tian's face became gloomy after speaking.
These days, she and Gu Chengyuan have been in love with each other, and she has never been with Gu Caiwei, so her heart is naturally biased toward Gu Chengyuan.Now that Gu Caiwei scolded Gu Chengyuan so unceremoniously, she was very upset.
It's just... After all, she still loves her only daughter in her heart.Seeing that Gu Caiwei's face was so ugly, a trace of coldness seeped out of her eyes, so frightened that she couldn't help shivering several times, she began to be afraid.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this matter, and I didn't say that the son-in-law must let your father continue to be promoted now!" She hurriedly shouted, "But what's the matter with your stomach, it hasn't moved for such a long time Seeing that the little brat in the Hou's mansion is getting more and more lively, have you given him the medicine I asked for you? You have to hurry up! If it is too late, it will be too late!"
By this time, even though she knew that Tian's doing this was for her own good, Gu Caiwei had no intention of making false claims with her.
"Aniang, today I will put my words here: First, whether my stomach is moving or not is a matter between me and Master Hou. You can't be in a hurry even if you are by the side. So you still Don't worry about it. Second, don't mention anything about making me kill Ayi. That child is very obedient and obedient. I like him very much. I will only protect him from growing up healthy and healthy. With him around By my side, even if I don't have children, it's okay." She said every word.
"How can it be possible? You don't have a son, and you will be bullied when you get old! Maybe that brat will kick you out when he grows up!" Tian yelled hastily.
Gu Caiwei's face darkened. "He will not."
"But..." Tian still wanted to say something.But when Gu Caiwei gave her a cold look, she was shocked again, and she was speechless immediately.
Only then did she realize: How long has it been since we separated, and her daughter's aura is getting stronger every day?Just like now, if her daughter is unhappy, she doesn't even have the guts to continue talking to her!
After successfully making her shut up, Gu Caiwei stopped talking. "Okay, Ma'am, I'm very happy that you can come to see me today. But I'm still feeling uncomfortable, so I won't talk to you much. Hongluan, come here and ask Mrs. Gu to have dinner in the front hall, and then bring her Let's take a walk in the Hou's mansion!"
"Yes." Hongluan hurried over, "Madam Gu, come with the servant girl!"
Tian didn't want to leave.She came here today with three tasks, and she just visited Gu Caiwei and completed it.The other two tasks, one asked Gu Caiwei to give Du Juanqing another blow on the pillow so that he could help Gu Chengyuan get promoted, and the other asked Gu Caiwei to quickly leave Du Junqing in the room and give birth to a son. None of them were completed, and she was almost dying of anxiety. !
It's just that Hongluan is such a clever girl?She persuaded her in a few words, and then dragged Tian's, and Tian followed her out obediently.
Gu Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief, then lay back on the bed weakly, her eyes closed tightly and she didn't want to say a word.
Until Tian Shi left, Gu Caiwei was still lying there motionless, no one paid any attention to her, even Du Yi passed by, Liuli also made an excuse and said: "Miss is in a bad mood today, my son, please don't force her, let her take care of herself." Take a break!"
When Du Yi saw this, he was overwhelmed with worry, so he hurried to find Du Juanqing.
"Daddy, go and persuade her! She is the only one you can persuade now!"
Du Juan raised his eyebrows. "Why don't you go yourself?"
"I'm still young, so I don't know why she's sad now. Of course it doesn't make sense, and she certainly doesn't want to tell me. Father, you are old and have experienced many things. You must know, so this matter It is most appropriate to entrust it to you." Du Yi said as a matter of course.
Du Juan looked at him coldly and said nothing, Du Yi was already in a hurry.He quickly pulled it up and pushed it directly towards Gu Caiwei.
Just like this, Du Juanqing was half-pushed and half-satisfied, and was pushed to Gu Caiwei by his son.
At this time, Gu Caiwei was still lazily lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
Just by seeing her slightly short of breath, she knew she was not asleep.
Du Juanqing said slowly: "Is your mother-in-law here to seek an official position for your father-in-law again?"
Gu Caiwei immediately opened her eyes. "Have you heard it?"
"No." Du Juan shook his head.
"Oh." Gu Caiwei nodded, "Actually, I can figure it out. That family is greedy and insatiable. If you give him a little favor, he will chase after him for more. It's just that I never thought of it. It's only been a while, and they can't help but come over and chase after me! And my mother... Hey, that silly woman, I don't know whether it was right or wrong to come forward to get rid of Tian Niang for her. .”
Du Juanqing just looked at her silently.
Gu Caiwei sighed for a while, then she covered her chest with one hand and let out a sigh of relief. "However, what saddened me the most was not this incident, but... Originally, I thought that in my mother's eyes, my happiness was beyond everything else. But now, father has just treated her well for a few days , her whole heart turned to him, and I became a tool for the two of them to use together! If this continues, it won't be long before Gu Tianci's status in her heart will be higher than mine right?"
The so-called sincerity turned out to be so cheap. Fortunately, she was moved by Tian's bottomless pampering before!
After hearing her sigh, Du Juanqing opened his mouth. "If she does, then she is too stupid. In this world, the only person who treats her well is you."
Gu Caiwei smiled lightly. "But so what? For her, her daughter is someone else's family after she gets married. All she can rely on for the rest of her life are her husband and son. No matter how unreliable the husband is, the son never treats her seriously. Mother, that's better than my daughter!"
The more she thought about it, the more congested her heart became.Gu Caiwei covered her chest with one hand and took several deep breaths before finally recovering.
Maybe it's because I slowly adapted to my current status!She also treated Tian Shizhen as her own mother in her heart, and she was willing to use all her own methods to protect her.Unexpectedly, Tian took advantage of it and even turned around and stabbed her in the chest with a sword!
The feeling of being slandered by her own people is so painful that she is still very uncomfortable now.
At this time, Gu Caiwei suddenly noticed a warm palm on her shoulder.
Looking up quickly, she saw that Du Juanqing had already sat down on the edge of the bed.He held her shoulder with one hand, looked into her eyes, and said softly, "Didn't you say that she is from the country, has shallow eyelids, and hasn't seen many good things in her life? Especially so For many years, she has been unable to ask for your father's love, which has become a demon in her heart. Now, she finally got what she has always wanted, she must be ecstatic, and she really thought that she got the best thing in the world. Precious things. If my father-in-law coaxes her a few more words, she will foolishly obey him. This is the result of her circumstances over the years, and she cannot be entirely blamed."
Gu Caiwei immediately looked up at him, and heard the man say again: "Besides, this is just the beginning. Since she is your mother, it means that she is not stupid, but now she is deliberately woven by her father-in-law. The affection that comes out fascinates her eyes. But one day she will see clearly the illusion in front of her eyes, and then father-in-law will not be able to deceive her anymore."
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "You speak very well. But do you think, with my mother's temperament, can she really see through this illusion?"
Du Juan paused. "If necessary, we can help her."
we?
These two words caught my ears, and Gu Caiwei's heart trembled inexplicably, and a strange feeling came to my heart.
However, to her surprise, she didn't find it annoying.
Although this man was a bit sinister and cunning, he did have some skills.Tian's temperament is like that again, it's not easy for her to recognize the truth on her own, but with his help, the matter will be much easier!
As soon as Gu Caiwei thought about it, she nodded readily: "You can have this!"
The corners of Du Juan's lips curled slightly. "Then now, can you stop being so discouraged? Ayi is almost worried about you."
"Understood!" Gu Caiwei got up lazily, and couldn't help squinting at him, "It's as if you're not worried. If you're not worried, then that bastard came here to teach me what to do?"
Du Juanqing immediately coughed twice. "Benhou...of course I'm also worried about you."
Gu Caiwei suddenly smiled.She immediately pretended to bow to him on the bed: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your love. I am inexplicably touched by Master Hou's deep friendship. In the future, I can only serve you more attentively, Lord Marquis, in order to repay your greatness." Endaded."
Du Juanqing suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and quickly turned around: "Since you are well, then Benhou is leaving!"
Just leave immediately.
"Wait a minute!" But Gu Caiwei quickly stopped him, "There is also something about the Gu family... Thank you for sending a message to the Gu family in time and informing them to come and see me."
Although the person who came was not what she wanted to see with all her heart, the appearance of Mrs. Tian relieved her longing for her relatives a little bit.
Du Juanqing replied with his back turned to her: "Isn't this what a son-in-law should do?"
Just crossed the threshold.
This ethereal and indifferent appearance is really annoying!Gu Caiwei curled her lips: "Fortunately, I really wanted to thank him, but he just blocked me back like this! This guy is getting more and more annoying!"
Liu Li covered her mouth and laughed non-stop. "Miss, haven't you noticed that Master Hou is treating you better and better now? You were bitten by a snake, and he gave you drugs and punished those people for you; he also helped you inform the eldest lady to come and visit you, okay?" Relieve the boredom and anxiety in your heart; now that you know you are in a bad mood, I hurried over to enlighten you. Especially the tone of his speech just now, it was so gentle, the servant girl just heard it in her ears, and my heart melted!"
"Is there?" Gu Caiwei blinked.
Just now she was so angry that she didn't notice the tone of the man's words.But looking back now, she found that——his tone was indeed very gentle and pleasant, as if the spring breeze in March was blowing towards her face, which immediately effectively soothed her violent and decadent heart.
The usual coldness in his voice was gone, replaced by gentleness, and even his expression softened a lot.And the palm on her shoulder...
Oh my God!
The more she thought about it, the more definitely Gu Caiwei was wrong, her face started to heat up.
"This guy didn't take the wrong medicine, did he?" she whispered.
"I think it's almost as if it's Master Hou who has changed his view of you more and more." Liuli said hurriedly, "Just like my wife, hasn't your attitude towards Master Hou changed a lot these days? Thank you so much!"
"That's because he really helped me a lot! Of course I want to thank you for being kind." Gu Caiwei said as a matter of course.
Liuli covered her mouth again and giggled.
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei waved her hands impatiently. "Hurry up and get out for me! I'm exhausted, let me have a good rest alone."
"Yes, maidservant is going to cook white fungus and lily soup for the lady." Liuli hurriedly agreed and left.
However, after driving away the last girl in the room, Gu Caiwei lay on the bed alone for a long time, but did not fall asleep after all.On the contrary, the little things about getting along with Du Juanqing in these days came to her mind again, and after comparing it before and after, she suddenly found out that she had changed her view of Du Juanqing so much before she knew it?
Moreover, the two people who were almost pinched when they met at the beginning can still sit together and talk and discuss things calmly. It means that she is comfortable all over.
"Actually, this person is really nice. If he really wants to be nice to people, he is really nice." She said in a low voice, and felt that her face was getting hot again.
Quickly covering her face with her hands, she turned her head to one side. "However, this guy is still very bad, I can't be fooled by his sugar-coated bullets! I'm not that stupid woman of Tian's!"
But that being said, because of her injury, Du Juanqing came here these days more diligently than before, and it will be the same in the following days.Although Gu Caiwei is weak and unable to cook, Du Juan has found the cook early in the morning. The cook has been trained by her for a month or two, and now she can cook a few dishes. Both Du Juanqing and his son can barely eat Take a few bites.The two of them now come to eat with Gu Caiwei almost every night, and after eating, we talk together, and the relationship will naturally become more harmonious.
Day by day, Gu Caiwei's health gradually improved, and half a month passed.
At this time, it coincided with the 65th birthday of Mrs. Di Ge's wife, Shu Shi, and a grand banquet was held at Mr. Ge's mansion. Du Juanqing naturally managed to get an invitation.
He quickly took Gu Caiwei over there.
As a minister of the court, Mr. Di Ge won the trust of Her Majesty the Empress, so for his wife's birthday banquet, naturally all the nobles from all over Chang'an City rushed to pay their respects, and the gifts everyone held in their hands were generous and thick.
In comparison, the small jar of medicinal wine that Du Juanqing and the others brought was nothing worth mentioning.
However, the Di Mansion was kind and did not sing out the gifts from the guests in public like the Wu Consort Mansion did.No matter who sent what gifts, the boys would just accept them cheerfully, express their sincere thanks, and then carefully hold them behind and register them in the register.
Even when they saw Du Juanqing bringing over with only a jug of wine, the smiles on their faces did not change a bit, and the words of thanks were not perfunctory at all.
After entering the door and giving gifts, the two of them were taken by the servants in Ge Lao's mansion to the place where male guests and female relatives were entertained.This time Du Yi was not lured to play with the child, but insisted on holding Gu Caiwei's hand. "I want to be with my mother."
"Then you all go there together!" Du Juan nodded, "Take care of her." He said this to Du Yi.
Du Yi immediately nodded his head. "understood!"
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei was speechless. "Who takes care of whom?"
Du Yi immediately giggled and pulled her. "Let's go! Anyway, I want to watch you today, and you are not allowed to quarrel with others!"
Coincidentally, the two of them hadn't gone a few steps, and met Wu Shi on the way, who was the first one to stand up and provoke trouble in Princess Taiping's mansion last time, the son-in-law Wu You and the personal servant The servant's wife—in short, a gun stretched out by the Wu family.
Taking it for granted, when meeting Gu Caiwei, the gun immediately played its due role again.
"Ah, isn't this Mrs. Changning Hou? Why did you go out today? I heard that you were bitten by a snake a few days ago and almost lost your life. I thought you were going to rest in bed now! But I After living for so many years, I have never heard of any wife who is so unlucky and can be bitten by a snake! I think you should go to the temple to worship if you are free." Wu stepped forward with a smile Come say hello.Both in and out of the words imply that Gu Caiwei did something that angered the heavens and made the heavens send a snake to bite her.
This is truly a thief crying catch a thief.
Gu Caiwei smiled lightly when she heard this: "When encountering this kind of thing, I think it is better to come to pay respects to Mr. Dige than to worship in the temple! Mr. Dige is the most upright. When he was in Dali Temple to settle cases, more than a thousand cases were passed by him. Now, if there are any evil spirits that are eyeing me, only Dige's righteousness can help me drive them away."
Evil gods and ghosts... Her words made Wu grit his teeth in anger.After all, she knew very well why Gu Caiwei was bitten!So when Gu Caiwei said that, she already took the initiative to take her seat.
She couldn't help sneering again. "Mrs. Changning Hou's dream is really not bad. It's just that Mr. Di Ge has a high position and power, and there are countless dignitaries who come to see him every day. Are you sure he has time to help you exorcise evil spirits?"
"Who can say for sure? Maybe my Lord Hou and I are so outstanding that Mr. Di Ge fell in love with each other at first sight, and became friends at the second sight?" Gu Caiwei said with a smile.
Mrs. Wu was well-informed and choked when she heard this.
She has lived for so many years and has seen shameless people, but she has never seen shameless people to this extent!Moreover, she is still in Dige's old mansion now, with so many people coming and going around her, she doesn't know how to restrain herself at all, and she is embarrassed to say such words without blushing or panting!
Look, the people next to me laughed when they heard it!
"If that's the case, then I'll congratulate Mrs. Changninghou first!" Mrs. Wu immediately said in a strange way.
"Thank you very much, I'm happy with you." Gu Caiwei hurriedly returned the gift.
Suddenly, the corners of Wu's mouth twitched even more.
She immediately turned around to leave, but she didn't expect Gu Caiwei to come over and hug her arm. "Oh, it's rare to have an acquaintance here. Since we met, let's go together! Who are the people in this old man's house, what kind of temperament is everyone, and what are the old lady's hobbies, I don't know! You Hurry up and talk to me, so that I can prepare myself."
Impatiently, Wu planned to get rid of her.But now when she heard her say that, she suddenly paused, and a weird smile appeared on her face. "This is easy, let's walk slowly first, let me tell you one by one!"
"Okay!" Gu Caiwei nodded happily, "You are so kind!"
The smile on Wu's face suddenly enlarged. "Of course. I've always been kind to people who ask for advice."
The two walked in while talking, and when they reached the back garden, there were already many female relatives gathered here.Among them, Princess Jianchang is impressively listed.
At this time, Mrs. Wu had finished what she had to say, so she patted the back of Gu Caiwei's hand: "Okay, I can only help you here. How you behave next depends entirely on yourself."
"Don't worry, I already know it in my heart!" Gu Caiwei nodded quickly and let her go.
Mrs. Wu rushed to Princess Jianchang's side, and Princess Jianchang glanced at her indifferently: "When did you become so close?"
Wu shi smiled triumphantly, and hurriedly whispered a few words beside Princess Jianchang.
Princess Jianchang raised her eyebrows. "Are you serious?"
"Of course. How dare the maidservant lie to you, Princess!" Wu quickly nodded.
"However, I remember that this little lady has a very strong temper, she can talk, and she doesn't look like a fool. Last time you were so tense, now she will take the initiative to ask you for advice? Will she not notice you? Did you deliberately make up nonsense to deceive her?" Princess Jianchang asked coolly.
Wu Shi was startled, and then laughed dryly. "But anyway, if she believes it, then we can wait and watch the show. If she doesn't believe it, it's okay, and we don't have much loss, right?"
"En." Princess Jianchang nodded, but the way she looked at her was not quite right.
Wu's walks around the Wu family all year round, she knows how to read the master's face best.Now when she saw Princess Jianchang's expression was wrong, she felt a shock in her heart, and suddenly realized that something was wrong - she was fooled by that little bitch!
She quickly looked at Princess Jianchang with a sincere expression: "Princess, don't be fooled by this scumbag. The maidservant's family is loyal to the Wu family. If there is no Wu family, how can we have the glory and wealth we have today? So we I have always hoped that the Wu family will continue to take root and flourish in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Our husband and wife will never do anything that harms the interests of the Wu family!"
"I hope so!" Princess Jianchang replied lazily, not believing her words at all.
Seeing this, Wu was very anxious, and scolded Gu Caiwei a hundred times in her heart - she knew that every time she met this bitch, nothing good would happen!
And after Gu Caiwei was brought here, she discovered that the people who came to the banquet this time were actually the same as the large number of people who came to Wu Consort's Mansion last time.In other words - almost half of the people here have fought with her!
Seeing her now, these ladies immediately stepped aside, not even meeting her eyes.
But in private, Gu Caiwei could still clearly hear them gathering together in small groups and whispering——
"It's her. Half a month ago, she dragged people out for an outing in order to curry favor with the Marquis of Changning and his son. As a result, she didn't prepare well, and she even attracted a poisonous snake. Then she pretended to show off, so she used herself as a snake , and was finally bitten by a snake!"
"But she is also lucky. After this incident, Marquis Changning really treated her better and better, and this time he took the initiative to bring her to the old man's house for a banquet. But, she must not be the same as last time. It's better for the elders in Ge's mansion to continue to piss off. Otherwise, Marquis Changning's face will really be thrown away by her!"
"Forget it! Dogs can't change eating shit, with her temperament, do you think she can handle it?"
……
It's really scary.Anyway, in the eyes of these high-ranking dignitaries, since she has favored Du Juanqing, no matter what she does afterwards, she has ulterior motives.Even if she didn't have such an intention, they could still give her an intention, and the things she didn't do could all be blamed on her.
"So these so-called noble ladies in Chang'an are not much different from those gossips in the countryside in private!" Gu Caiwei sighed in a low voice, "It's really not as good as one generation after another, obviously the atmosphere before was much better!"
Compared to her calm and calm, Du Yi's face was flushed with anger. "They used to bully you like this too? Why didn't you tell us!"
"What are you talking about? People's mouths grow on other people. We don't care about what they like to say, and we don't need to worry about it." Gu Caiwei quickly pulled him up, "Besides, we have a task today, and now we are wasting time It is unwise to fight wits and bravery with them. After I finish the matter later, I will have time to settle accounts with them again."
Du Yi nodded. "It's just that, how do we find Mr. Di Ge or Mrs. Ge now?"
I thought they would be able to meet people when they came here.In the end, who knew that Mrs. Ge just contracted the wind and cold two days ago, and now she is still resting in bed, and she doesn't plan to come out to have a hair dryer at all!
Mr. Di Ge and his wife are very affectionate, so they naturally choose to stay by his wife's side.They came to nothing.
Just as she was talking, she saw a middle-aged woman in front of her hurriedly walking forward with a few young girls, and whispered as she walked: "The old lady hasn't eaten for several days, you hurry up and invite the cook from the Peony Building Come here and cook a bowl of porridge for the old lady. No matter what, the old lady must have the strength to come out tonight to accept congratulations from her descendants and guests!"
When Gu Caiwei heard this, her eyes sparkled immediately.
Immediately looking at each other with Du Yi, the two hurriedly chased after him.
"Wait a minute!" After hastily stopping the person, Gu Caiwei recommended herself, "I can cook, let me cook for the old lady!"
(End of this chapter)
"I knew this a long time ago, sooner or later." Du Juan nodded, not very surprised.
Qin Shisan only nodded. "I also expected such a day. But since this day has come, you have to prepare as soon as possible. Otherwise, within three months, they will definitely find Yongxing County."
"I know. When her injury heals, we should take action." Du Juanqing immediately nodded.
"What did you say? Did I hear you right?" Hearing this, Qin Shisan was taken aback again, "Qilang, don't tell me that you even let her know about the iron mine! How long have you been together!"
"Actually, I told her half a month ago." Du Juanqing admitted honestly.
Qin Shisan's expression changed drastically. "You, you, you... how good is this little lady, who made you hand over your old background so quickly? Are you not afraid that she will go to Princess Taiping to inform her when she learns the news?"
"It turns out that she didn't. She also discussed with me how to get close to Mr. Di Ge and entrust the iron ore to Mr. Di Ge." Du Juanqing said slowly.
Qin Shisan opened his mouth, and suddenly found that he had nothing to say.
"In that case, you have identified her?" He finally asked again.
Du Juan nodded. "yes."
"Okay!" Qin Shisan nodded helplessly, "I also hope that you two will be fine, and don't be the same as last time—"
"Thirteenth brother!" Du Juanqing interrupted him suddenly.
Only then did Qin Shisan realize that he had slipped his mouth, and he quickly changed his words. "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. You just have to live with her now! She... is actually pretty good, and she is smart and capable. If you can really work together with you, that's a good thing .”
Only then did Du Juanqing nod his head again. "Of course."
It's just that this happened so suddenly that Qin Shisan's mind would still be in a mess for a while.He hurriedly left, went home to clear his mind, and then changed his wife to come and talk to Gu Caiwei.
Gu Caiwei was worrying about being bored in bed alone, Du Yi, a playful little guy, was busy with studies now, so he could only come to talk to her in the morning and evening every day.Mrs. Qin Shisan came over every two days now, just in time to bring her some latest news in Chang'an City, and she often commented with witty words, and the relationship between the two women became closer and closer.
The news that Gu Caiwei was bitten by a snake and was bedridden soon spread.Then within two days, Tian came here in a hurry after learning the news.
"My poor boy!"
As soon as she entered the door and saw Gu Caiwei lying on the bed with a pale face, Tian's tears flowed from her heart, she yelled shrilly and flew over, took Gu Caiwei's hand and began to cry loudly.
Gu Caiwei was unable to roll her eyes, so she could only let her cry enough, and then said in a low voice: "Aniang, don't worry, I'm fine. Lord Hou has asked the imperial doctor to come and see me, and the imperial doctor said that my body The residual poison is almost gone, now I just need to stay in bed for a few days and be fine."
"Even so, you have suffered a lot!" Tian said with sobs.
Although this person has a loud voice, cries badly, and tears and snot streaming down his face is even more ugly, but her love for her daughter is genuine.
Now that her mother is not around, only Tian Shi, Gu Caiqin's mother, is there. Gu Caiwei felt a little uncomfortable at first.But now hearing what Tian said, she couldn't help but her nose sore, and she almost shed tears.
The two quickly said a few more words, Gu Caiwei persuaded her a few words, Tian finally stopped crying.She held Gu Caiwei's hand again: "Aqin, although you are bitten by a snake, my mother is very distressed, but because of this, my mother is also very happy. Anyway, the relationship between you and your son-in-law has taken another step forward!"
what?
Gu Caiwei was stunned. "When did my relationship with him go further? Why don't I know?"
"Hey, you silly child!" Tian hurriedly poked her forehead, "Look, you are protecting them from snakes outside, which is a great kindness to them. Just for this, they I owe you everything in this life, and it’s not over! Besides, I heard that after you were bitten, the son-in-law became furious and beat all the people in the Hou’s mansion who were related to this matter, and some even beat them directly Died! Doesn't this show how important you are to him? And after dealing with the matter in the Hou's mansion, he was afraid that we would be sad, so he quickly sent someone to report to us at home, so that we should not worry about it. Look at this One by one, how well he did it, it means that he really puts you in his heart and hurts!"
Uh……
The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched. "When did he report to the Gu family? Is it such a trivial matter?"
"As for it, of course it is!" Tian nodded solemnly, "You are a good person, because the father and son were bitten like this, if he didn't show it, you see, I won't come and tear him alive! But, look For the sake of his good performance now, I won't care too much about him. As long as he treats you well in the future and allows you to secure the position of Mrs. Hou, then I can forgive him for not being able to protect you. "
"However!" Immediately she emphasized her tone again, "It's only this time, it won't work next time!"
The last words, rather than telling Gu Caiwei, she might as well say that she deliberately told this person in the Hou Mansion.So that these people can quickly pass the words to Du Juanqing's ears, so that he can know the direction of his future efforts!
Although this mother's way of reminding people is clumsy, her heart that loves her daughter is so warm and eager, and Gu Caiwei's heart is also warm.
"Don't worry, Auntie, Master Hou knows about it. Now he is also very kind to me." Gu Caiwei said hastily.
"Isn't that what you should do?" Tian said angrily, "You risked your life for him!"
But the premise of this matter is that she confronted Princess Jianchang in public!If Princess Jianchang had shrunk her neck to make fun of them when she was looking for trouble, then this incident would not have happened.Although, Gu Caiwei would never do such a thing.But in any case, since this kind of thing happened, it can't be blamed entirely on Du Juanqing for not being able to protect her. She loves to stir up trouble with her own cheap mouth, and that's the most important thing.
But I also know that this kind of words are unreasonable to Tian, so Gu Caiwei quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I think you look good, mother. It seems that dad has become more honest recently?"
"is not that right?"
Speaking of this, Tian became excited. "Ever since you and your son-in-law came to kill Tian Niang last time, your father has been very honest. In addition, didn't the son-in-law find another relationship to get your father promoted? He knew that after his official career But you have to rely on the son-in-law, but the son-in-law listens to you, so he can only please you by pleasing me, and of course he treats me very well. Now I said that I would give him two more concubines, but he said no. , He owed me too much before, he has to make it up to me!"
Speaking of this, her face flushed again, and her eyes were filled with deep joy.
Sure enough, she still had expectations for Gu Chengyuan in her heart.Now that Gu Chengyuan seems to have turned his back on it, and because of Du Juanqing's face, she treated her better, so she put aside her past suspicions and was so happy!
Gu Caiwei sighed inwardly, she just nodded. "That's good, then I can rest assured."
"Yeah, let me just say, you found this son-in-law well!" Mrs. Tian nodded hurriedly, and then said, "By the way, I'm leaving later, remember to say a few more words to your son-in-law so that he can find him in the future." If there is a chance, I will help my father again and let him continue to be promoted. His current official position is still too low. If he goes out and says that he is the father-in-law of Marquis Changning, it will still bring down the face of Marquis Changning! "
Gu Caiwei's face darkened. "Dad told you to say this?"
Tian's eyes flickered. "This is actually what I meant. Your father is already at this age. If he doesn't go up a few levels, then he will really die of old age in this position. Our old Gu's family finally got you out of the ancestral grave. Dad is such a scholar, so you must not let the family fortune be broken with him! And your younger brother, he has just entered school! If your father doesn’t become a high official soon, what will happen to your younger brother? What to do? Our old Gu's family now has only one seedling left!"
Gu Caiwei's face has completely cooled down at this moment.
"These words are taught to you by my father, right?"
Seeing her gloomy face, Tian suddenly became afraid. "Aqin, aren't we doing this for your own good? You are married to the Marquis Mansion alone. It's fine for you to be young now, but when you get old, you won't be as fresh and tender as you are now. At that time, there will be a young and beautiful lady. Seduce your son-in-law, what should you do if your son-in-law no longer loves you? At that time, you will need the support of your mother’s family. So now, we have to quickly find a way to make your father and younger brother gain a firm foothold in Chang’an City! "
In order to support her, Gu Chengfeng and his son wanted to climb up the ladder and become high officials. This logic seemed correct.However, their idea is - to use their own daughter to let them climb up, and then they will come back to support her!
To put it bluntly, they simply wanted to take advantage of her being favored now to make a fortune.If in the future she's old and lustful, she won't be favored... Hehe, it's no wonder that the father and son support her if they can keep their word!
Moreover, how long has it been since Du Juanqing promoted Gu Chengyuan?Gu Chengyuan's appetite started to whet his appetite again, and he offered to be promoted to a higher level. He even wanted Du Juanqing to promote his son!
Gu Chengyuan has been in Chang'an City for so long. Although he is not too successful, he is not a failure anyway.Then he should know what Du Juanqing's situation is in Chang'an City now - Du Juanqing's environment is definitely much worse than his!But as his father-in-law, he didn't even think about how to help his son-in-law, he just knew how to keep extracting benefits from his son-in-law, and even brainwashed Tian and let Tian come over to lobby, how could this person's clever mind not know How about using it on the righteous way?
"Impossible." Gu Caiwei refused coldly.
Tian was taken aback. "Aqin, why are you doing this? We did this for your own good!"
"Is it for my own good or for their own good? Think about it for yourself!" Gu Caiwei said angrily. I don’t even know. How did he throw you aside when he finished using you before, and then he and Tian Niang stayed and flew together. This past is still vivid! Now he treats you only because I can give him For the sake of bringing benefits. But don’t you know that because of me, Lord Hou and the Duke’s Mansion fell out? How much energy does Lord Hou have alone? We are still in a mess now, what? So much energy to help Dad climb up? And people have to be self-reliant, Dad is such a big man, why do you still hope to climb up by nepotism? Is he still a man?"
On the one hand, Tian's face became gloomy after speaking.
These days, she and Gu Chengyuan have been in love with each other, and she has never been with Gu Caiwei, so her heart is naturally biased toward Gu Chengyuan.Now that Gu Caiwei scolded Gu Chengyuan so unceremoniously, she was very upset.
It's just... After all, she still loves her only daughter in her heart.Seeing that Gu Caiwei's face was so ugly, a trace of coldness seeped out of her eyes, so frightened that she couldn't help shivering several times, she began to be afraid.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this matter, and I didn't say that the son-in-law must let your father continue to be promoted now!" She hurriedly shouted, "But what's the matter with your stomach, it hasn't moved for such a long time Seeing that the little brat in the Hou's mansion is getting more and more lively, have you given him the medicine I asked for you? You have to hurry up! If it is too late, it will be too late!"
By this time, even though she knew that Tian's doing this was for her own good, Gu Caiwei had no intention of making false claims with her.
"Aniang, today I will put my words here: First, whether my stomach is moving or not is a matter between me and Master Hou. You can't be in a hurry even if you are by the side. So you still Don't worry about it. Second, don't mention anything about making me kill Ayi. That child is very obedient and obedient. I like him very much. I will only protect him from growing up healthy and healthy. With him around By my side, even if I don't have children, it's okay." She said every word.
"How can it be possible? You don't have a son, and you will be bullied when you get old! Maybe that brat will kick you out when he grows up!" Tian yelled hastily.
Gu Caiwei's face darkened. "He will not."
"But..." Tian still wanted to say something.But when Gu Caiwei gave her a cold look, she was shocked again, and she was speechless immediately.
Only then did she realize: How long has it been since we separated, and her daughter's aura is getting stronger every day?Just like now, if her daughter is unhappy, she doesn't even have the guts to continue talking to her!
After successfully making her shut up, Gu Caiwei stopped talking. "Okay, Ma'am, I'm very happy that you can come to see me today. But I'm still feeling uncomfortable, so I won't talk to you much. Hongluan, come here and ask Mrs. Gu to have dinner in the front hall, and then bring her Let's take a walk in the Hou's mansion!"
"Yes." Hongluan hurried over, "Madam Gu, come with the servant girl!"
Tian didn't want to leave.She came here today with three tasks, and she just visited Gu Caiwei and completed it.The other two tasks, one asked Gu Caiwei to give Du Juanqing another blow on the pillow so that he could help Gu Chengyuan get promoted, and the other asked Gu Caiwei to quickly leave Du Junqing in the room and give birth to a son. None of them were completed, and she was almost dying of anxiety. !
It's just that Hongluan is such a clever girl?She persuaded her in a few words, and then dragged Tian's, and Tian followed her out obediently.
Gu Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief, then lay back on the bed weakly, her eyes closed tightly and she didn't want to say a word.
Until Tian Shi left, Gu Caiwei was still lying there motionless, no one paid any attention to her, even Du Yi passed by, Liuli also made an excuse and said: "Miss is in a bad mood today, my son, please don't force her, let her take care of herself." Take a break!"
When Du Yi saw this, he was overwhelmed with worry, so he hurried to find Du Juanqing.
"Daddy, go and persuade her! She is the only one you can persuade now!"
Du Juan raised his eyebrows. "Why don't you go yourself?"
"I'm still young, so I don't know why she's sad now. Of course it doesn't make sense, and she certainly doesn't want to tell me. Father, you are old and have experienced many things. You must know, so this matter It is most appropriate to entrust it to you." Du Yi said as a matter of course.
Du Juan looked at him coldly and said nothing, Du Yi was already in a hurry.He quickly pulled it up and pushed it directly towards Gu Caiwei.
Just like this, Du Juanqing was half-pushed and half-satisfied, and was pushed to Gu Caiwei by his son.
At this time, Gu Caiwei was still lazily lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
Just by seeing her slightly short of breath, she knew she was not asleep.
Du Juanqing said slowly: "Is your mother-in-law here to seek an official position for your father-in-law again?"
Gu Caiwei immediately opened her eyes. "Have you heard it?"
"No." Du Juan shook his head.
"Oh." Gu Caiwei nodded, "Actually, I can figure it out. That family is greedy and insatiable. If you give him a little favor, he will chase after him for more. It's just that I never thought of it. It's only been a while, and they can't help but come over and chase after me! And my mother... Hey, that silly woman, I don't know whether it was right or wrong to come forward to get rid of Tian Niang for her. .”
Du Juanqing just looked at her silently.
Gu Caiwei sighed for a while, then she covered her chest with one hand and let out a sigh of relief. "However, what saddened me the most was not this incident, but... Originally, I thought that in my mother's eyes, my happiness was beyond everything else. But now, father has just treated her well for a few days , her whole heart turned to him, and I became a tool for the two of them to use together! If this continues, it won't be long before Gu Tianci's status in her heart will be higher than mine right?"
The so-called sincerity turned out to be so cheap. Fortunately, she was moved by Tian's bottomless pampering before!
After hearing her sigh, Du Juanqing opened his mouth. "If she does, then she is too stupid. In this world, the only person who treats her well is you."
Gu Caiwei smiled lightly. "But so what? For her, her daughter is someone else's family after she gets married. All she can rely on for the rest of her life are her husband and son. No matter how unreliable the husband is, the son never treats her seriously. Mother, that's better than my daughter!"
The more she thought about it, the more congested her heart became.Gu Caiwei covered her chest with one hand and took several deep breaths before finally recovering.
Maybe it's because I slowly adapted to my current status!She also treated Tian Shizhen as her own mother in her heart, and she was willing to use all her own methods to protect her.Unexpectedly, Tian took advantage of it and even turned around and stabbed her in the chest with a sword!
The feeling of being slandered by her own people is so painful that she is still very uncomfortable now.
At this time, Gu Caiwei suddenly noticed a warm palm on her shoulder.
Looking up quickly, she saw that Du Juanqing had already sat down on the edge of the bed.He held her shoulder with one hand, looked into her eyes, and said softly, "Didn't you say that she is from the country, has shallow eyelids, and hasn't seen many good things in her life? Especially so For many years, she has been unable to ask for your father's love, which has become a demon in her heart. Now, she finally got what she has always wanted, she must be ecstatic, and she really thought that she got the best thing in the world. Precious things. If my father-in-law coaxes her a few more words, she will foolishly obey him. This is the result of her circumstances over the years, and she cannot be entirely blamed."
Gu Caiwei immediately looked up at him, and heard the man say again: "Besides, this is just the beginning. Since she is your mother, it means that she is not stupid, but now she is deliberately woven by her father-in-law. The affection that comes out fascinates her eyes. But one day she will see clearly the illusion in front of her eyes, and then father-in-law will not be able to deceive her anymore."
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "You speak very well. But do you think, with my mother's temperament, can she really see through this illusion?"
Du Juan paused. "If necessary, we can help her."
we?
These two words caught my ears, and Gu Caiwei's heart trembled inexplicably, and a strange feeling came to my heart.
However, to her surprise, she didn't find it annoying.
Although this man was a bit sinister and cunning, he did have some skills.Tian's temperament is like that again, it's not easy for her to recognize the truth on her own, but with his help, the matter will be much easier!
As soon as Gu Caiwei thought about it, she nodded readily: "You can have this!"
The corners of Du Juan's lips curled slightly. "Then now, can you stop being so discouraged? Ayi is almost worried about you."
"Understood!" Gu Caiwei got up lazily, and couldn't help squinting at him, "It's as if you're not worried. If you're not worried, then that bastard came here to teach me what to do?"
Du Juanqing immediately coughed twice. "Benhou...of course I'm also worried about you."
Gu Caiwei suddenly smiled.She immediately pretended to bow to him on the bed: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your love. I am inexplicably touched by Master Hou's deep friendship. In the future, I can only serve you more attentively, Lord Marquis, in order to repay your greatness." Endaded."
Du Juanqing suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and quickly turned around: "Since you are well, then Benhou is leaving!"
Just leave immediately.
"Wait a minute!" But Gu Caiwei quickly stopped him, "There is also something about the Gu family... Thank you for sending a message to the Gu family in time and informing them to come and see me."
Although the person who came was not what she wanted to see with all her heart, the appearance of Mrs. Tian relieved her longing for her relatives a little bit.
Du Juanqing replied with his back turned to her: "Isn't this what a son-in-law should do?"
Just crossed the threshold.
This ethereal and indifferent appearance is really annoying!Gu Caiwei curled her lips: "Fortunately, I really wanted to thank him, but he just blocked me back like this! This guy is getting more and more annoying!"
Liu Li covered her mouth and laughed non-stop. "Miss, haven't you noticed that Master Hou is treating you better and better now? You were bitten by a snake, and he gave you drugs and punished those people for you; he also helped you inform the eldest lady to come and visit you, okay?" Relieve the boredom and anxiety in your heart; now that you know you are in a bad mood, I hurried over to enlighten you. Especially the tone of his speech just now, it was so gentle, the servant girl just heard it in her ears, and my heart melted!"
"Is there?" Gu Caiwei blinked.
Just now she was so angry that she didn't notice the tone of the man's words.But looking back now, she found that——his tone was indeed very gentle and pleasant, as if the spring breeze in March was blowing towards her face, which immediately effectively soothed her violent and decadent heart.
The usual coldness in his voice was gone, replaced by gentleness, and even his expression softened a lot.And the palm on her shoulder...
Oh my God!
The more she thought about it, the more definitely Gu Caiwei was wrong, her face started to heat up.
"This guy didn't take the wrong medicine, did he?" she whispered.
"I think it's almost as if it's Master Hou who has changed his view of you more and more." Liuli said hurriedly, "Just like my wife, hasn't your attitude towards Master Hou changed a lot these days? Thank you so much!"
"That's because he really helped me a lot! Of course I want to thank you for being kind." Gu Caiwei said as a matter of course.
Liuli covered her mouth again and giggled.
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei waved her hands impatiently. "Hurry up and get out for me! I'm exhausted, let me have a good rest alone."
"Yes, maidservant is going to cook white fungus and lily soup for the lady." Liuli hurriedly agreed and left.
However, after driving away the last girl in the room, Gu Caiwei lay on the bed alone for a long time, but did not fall asleep after all.On the contrary, the little things about getting along with Du Juanqing in these days came to her mind again, and after comparing it before and after, she suddenly found out that she had changed her view of Du Juanqing so much before she knew it?
Moreover, the two people who were almost pinched when they met at the beginning can still sit together and talk and discuss things calmly. It means that she is comfortable all over.
"Actually, this person is really nice. If he really wants to be nice to people, he is really nice." She said in a low voice, and felt that her face was getting hot again.
Quickly covering her face with her hands, she turned her head to one side. "However, this guy is still very bad, I can't be fooled by his sugar-coated bullets! I'm not that stupid woman of Tian's!"
But that being said, because of her injury, Du Juanqing came here these days more diligently than before, and it will be the same in the following days.Although Gu Caiwei is weak and unable to cook, Du Juan has found the cook early in the morning. The cook has been trained by her for a month or two, and now she can cook a few dishes. Both Du Juanqing and his son can barely eat Take a few bites.The two of them now come to eat with Gu Caiwei almost every night, and after eating, we talk together, and the relationship will naturally become more harmonious.
Day by day, Gu Caiwei's health gradually improved, and half a month passed.
At this time, it coincided with the 65th birthday of Mrs. Di Ge's wife, Shu Shi, and a grand banquet was held at Mr. Ge's mansion. Du Juanqing naturally managed to get an invitation.
He quickly took Gu Caiwei over there.
As a minister of the court, Mr. Di Ge won the trust of Her Majesty the Empress, so for his wife's birthday banquet, naturally all the nobles from all over Chang'an City rushed to pay their respects, and the gifts everyone held in their hands were generous and thick.
In comparison, the small jar of medicinal wine that Du Juanqing and the others brought was nothing worth mentioning.
However, the Di Mansion was kind and did not sing out the gifts from the guests in public like the Wu Consort Mansion did.No matter who sent what gifts, the boys would just accept them cheerfully, express their sincere thanks, and then carefully hold them behind and register them in the register.
Even when they saw Du Juanqing bringing over with only a jug of wine, the smiles on their faces did not change a bit, and the words of thanks were not perfunctory at all.
After entering the door and giving gifts, the two of them were taken by the servants in Ge Lao's mansion to the place where male guests and female relatives were entertained.This time Du Yi was not lured to play with the child, but insisted on holding Gu Caiwei's hand. "I want to be with my mother."
"Then you all go there together!" Du Juan nodded, "Take care of her." He said this to Du Yi.
Du Yi immediately nodded his head. "understood!"
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei was speechless. "Who takes care of whom?"
Du Yi immediately giggled and pulled her. "Let's go! Anyway, I want to watch you today, and you are not allowed to quarrel with others!"
Coincidentally, the two of them hadn't gone a few steps, and met Wu Shi on the way, who was the first one to stand up and provoke trouble in Princess Taiping's mansion last time, the son-in-law Wu You and the personal servant The servant's wife—in short, a gun stretched out by the Wu family.
Taking it for granted, when meeting Gu Caiwei, the gun immediately played its due role again.
"Ah, isn't this Mrs. Changning Hou? Why did you go out today? I heard that you were bitten by a snake a few days ago and almost lost your life. I thought you were going to rest in bed now! But I After living for so many years, I have never heard of any wife who is so unlucky and can be bitten by a snake! I think you should go to the temple to worship if you are free." Wu stepped forward with a smile Come say hello.Both in and out of the words imply that Gu Caiwei did something that angered the heavens and made the heavens send a snake to bite her.
This is truly a thief crying catch a thief.
Gu Caiwei smiled lightly when she heard this: "When encountering this kind of thing, I think it is better to come to pay respects to Mr. Dige than to worship in the temple! Mr. Dige is the most upright. When he was in Dali Temple to settle cases, more than a thousand cases were passed by him. Now, if there are any evil spirits that are eyeing me, only Dige's righteousness can help me drive them away."
Evil gods and ghosts... Her words made Wu grit his teeth in anger.After all, she knew very well why Gu Caiwei was bitten!So when Gu Caiwei said that, she already took the initiative to take her seat.
She couldn't help sneering again. "Mrs. Changning Hou's dream is really not bad. It's just that Mr. Di Ge has a high position and power, and there are countless dignitaries who come to see him every day. Are you sure he has time to help you exorcise evil spirits?"
"Who can say for sure? Maybe my Lord Hou and I are so outstanding that Mr. Di Ge fell in love with each other at first sight, and became friends at the second sight?" Gu Caiwei said with a smile.
Mrs. Wu was well-informed and choked when she heard this.
She has lived for so many years and has seen shameless people, but she has never seen shameless people to this extent!Moreover, she is still in Dige's old mansion now, with so many people coming and going around her, she doesn't know how to restrain herself at all, and she is embarrassed to say such words without blushing or panting!
Look, the people next to me laughed when they heard it!
"If that's the case, then I'll congratulate Mrs. Changninghou first!" Mrs. Wu immediately said in a strange way.
"Thank you very much, I'm happy with you." Gu Caiwei hurriedly returned the gift.
Suddenly, the corners of Wu's mouth twitched even more.
She immediately turned around to leave, but she didn't expect Gu Caiwei to come over and hug her arm. "Oh, it's rare to have an acquaintance here. Since we met, let's go together! Who are the people in this old man's house, what kind of temperament is everyone, and what are the old lady's hobbies, I don't know! You Hurry up and talk to me, so that I can prepare myself."
Impatiently, Wu planned to get rid of her.But now when she heard her say that, she suddenly paused, and a weird smile appeared on her face. "This is easy, let's walk slowly first, let me tell you one by one!"
"Okay!" Gu Caiwei nodded happily, "You are so kind!"
The smile on Wu's face suddenly enlarged. "Of course. I've always been kind to people who ask for advice."
The two walked in while talking, and when they reached the back garden, there were already many female relatives gathered here.Among them, Princess Jianchang is impressively listed.
At this time, Mrs. Wu had finished what she had to say, so she patted the back of Gu Caiwei's hand: "Okay, I can only help you here. How you behave next depends entirely on yourself."
"Don't worry, I already know it in my heart!" Gu Caiwei nodded quickly and let her go.
Mrs. Wu rushed to Princess Jianchang's side, and Princess Jianchang glanced at her indifferently: "When did you become so close?"
Wu shi smiled triumphantly, and hurriedly whispered a few words beside Princess Jianchang.
Princess Jianchang raised her eyebrows. "Are you serious?"
"Of course. How dare the maidservant lie to you, Princess!" Wu quickly nodded.
"However, I remember that this little lady has a very strong temper, she can talk, and she doesn't look like a fool. Last time you were so tense, now she will take the initiative to ask you for advice? Will she not notice you? Did you deliberately make up nonsense to deceive her?" Princess Jianchang asked coolly.
Wu Shi was startled, and then laughed dryly. "But anyway, if she believes it, then we can wait and watch the show. If she doesn't believe it, it's okay, and we don't have much loss, right?"
"En." Princess Jianchang nodded, but the way she looked at her was not quite right.
Wu's walks around the Wu family all year round, she knows how to read the master's face best.Now when she saw Princess Jianchang's expression was wrong, she felt a shock in her heart, and suddenly realized that something was wrong - she was fooled by that little bitch!
She quickly looked at Princess Jianchang with a sincere expression: "Princess, don't be fooled by this scumbag. The maidservant's family is loyal to the Wu family. If there is no Wu family, how can we have the glory and wealth we have today? So we I have always hoped that the Wu family will continue to take root and flourish in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Our husband and wife will never do anything that harms the interests of the Wu family!"
"I hope so!" Princess Jianchang replied lazily, not believing her words at all.
Seeing this, Wu was very anxious, and scolded Gu Caiwei a hundred times in her heart - she knew that every time she met this bitch, nothing good would happen!
And after Gu Caiwei was brought here, she discovered that the people who came to the banquet this time were actually the same as the large number of people who came to Wu Consort's Mansion last time.In other words - almost half of the people here have fought with her!
Seeing her now, these ladies immediately stepped aside, not even meeting her eyes.
But in private, Gu Caiwei could still clearly hear them gathering together in small groups and whispering——
"It's her. Half a month ago, she dragged people out for an outing in order to curry favor with the Marquis of Changning and his son. As a result, she didn't prepare well, and she even attracted a poisonous snake. Then she pretended to show off, so she used herself as a snake , and was finally bitten by a snake!"
"But she is also lucky. After this incident, Marquis Changning really treated her better and better, and this time he took the initiative to bring her to the old man's house for a banquet. But, she must not be the same as last time. It's better for the elders in Ge's mansion to continue to piss off. Otherwise, Marquis Changning's face will really be thrown away by her!"
"Forget it! Dogs can't change eating shit, with her temperament, do you think she can handle it?"
……
It's really scary.Anyway, in the eyes of these high-ranking dignitaries, since she has favored Du Juanqing, no matter what she does afterwards, she has ulterior motives.Even if she didn't have such an intention, they could still give her an intention, and the things she didn't do could all be blamed on her.
"So these so-called noble ladies in Chang'an are not much different from those gossips in the countryside in private!" Gu Caiwei sighed in a low voice, "It's really not as good as one generation after another, obviously the atmosphere before was much better!"
Compared to her calm and calm, Du Yi's face was flushed with anger. "They used to bully you like this too? Why didn't you tell us!"
"What are you talking about? People's mouths grow on other people. We don't care about what they like to say, and we don't need to worry about it." Gu Caiwei quickly pulled him up, "Besides, we have a task today, and now we are wasting time It is unwise to fight wits and bravery with them. After I finish the matter later, I will have time to settle accounts with them again."
Du Yi nodded. "It's just that, how do we find Mr. Di Ge or Mrs. Ge now?"
I thought they would be able to meet people when they came here.In the end, who knew that Mrs. Ge just contracted the wind and cold two days ago, and now she is still resting in bed, and she doesn't plan to come out to have a hair dryer at all!
Mr. Di Ge and his wife are very affectionate, so they naturally choose to stay by his wife's side.They came to nothing.
Just as she was talking, she saw a middle-aged woman in front of her hurriedly walking forward with a few young girls, and whispered as she walked: "The old lady hasn't eaten for several days, you hurry up and invite the cook from the Peony Building Come here and cook a bowl of porridge for the old lady. No matter what, the old lady must have the strength to come out tonight to accept congratulations from her descendants and guests!"
When Gu Caiwei heard this, her eyes sparkled immediately.
Immediately looking at each other with Du Yi, the two hurriedly chased after him.
"Wait a minute!" After hastily stopping the person, Gu Caiwei recommended herself, "I can cook, let me cook for the old lady!"
