Beautiful step by step

Chapter 21

Seeing that the big matchmaker has been completed, King Duan called Yan Heng and Chu Lian from left to right, and even A Yun was not behind, urging the four men to go to Guangyuan Building for a drink together.

"Ayun is still young, and his brain is easily burned by alcohol, just follow along and eat something."

Wang Duan looked unrestrained, and stared at Ah Mao with great interest.But he was well-born and extravagant, even if his eyes were a little presumptuous, he was not offensive at all.

Of course, Yan Heng couldn't use usual reasoning, he led Ayun to take a step forward, cupped his fists away from King Duan's sight and said, "It's not early, if it's late, we'll catch up with the curfew."

Duan Wang smiled thoughtfully: "My fair lady, gentlemen are so cute, I just don't want to see it. I'm afraid of the curfew, and I will write a note for you when the time comes."

Wei Wei hurriedly lowered her head, waited for a few people to walk away, and the servants closed the courtyard door, she waved to Gu Yu with a sullen face.

"Are you guilty?"

Gu Yu plopped and knelt down: "Girl, Gu Yu didn't mean it. Yesterday, the girl ordered me to go to the rice shop to deliver the account books. When I walked into the shop, I heard a shopping lady gossiping, saying that the girl caused a quarrel between the prince and his wife. In the end, What happened, they also said a lot of worse things. I couldn't get angry for a while, so I talked back about Mr. Yan, and I didn't know that the son would come."

"Then casually flaunt how valuable the dowry gift from Ah Heng is?"

"No."

"Oh, really not?"

Wei Wei's tone of voice slowed down, the ending accentuated, putting pressure on his words.Gu Yu, who was kneeling at her feet, felt as if a mighty force was pressing on her, trembling, her mouth reacted faster than her brain.

"The maidservant didn't tell them, but only told Chu San. Originally, the girl was on an errand in the Hou's mansion, and Chu San often came to the courtyard to deliver some things. We are considered acquainted after coming and going. I think he is also acquainted with the girl, and so on. It’s okay to tell him the happy event, so I said it casually.”

Wei Wei looked at Wei's mother, and seeing her shaking her head, she knew that Chu San was not from the Wu family.At last, things didn't get out of hand, but Gu Yu was as expected when she first met, with a mole between her eyebrows and a thick nose.

Lin Shen said in a deep voice: "I told you on the first day you went to the street, don't mess around with the Marquis's relationship. You know what happened today, if it gets to the ears of someone who cares, you can sue Yan Xiaoqi for embezzling the spoils of war. He is the culprit, but we who hid the booty can't escape even sitting punishment."

Gu Yu was stunned, Chu San was the son of the steward of the inner court of the Marquis Mansion, he was born with red lips and white teeth, and he was very good at talking, she had a good impression of him, thinking that he was not an outsider, so she told the secret.She never thought that her outspokenness might harm everyone.

Kneeling on the ground, her tears were pattering down: "Girl, I really didn't mean it. Mother Wei bought me out of the dental shop. The master's benevolent work in the mansion is not heavy, and the cost of food and clothing is higher than that of me at home. It was so much better. I always remember this great kindness in my heart, and never thought of harming my mother and girl."

Wei Wei looked down at the trembling body at her feet, Gu Yu's nose twitched, she was usually such a smart maid, but now she even paused her words, which shows that she was quite frightened.

With a long sigh, she bent down to help her up, wiped her tears and nose with a handkerchief, and said softly:

"Look at you, you're a pretty girl, and your eyes are swollen from crying. Before you speak next time, think about what you can say to outsiders, and what you can rot in your stomach. There are a lot of things at home recently, and I I planned to buy a few more servant girls in two days, and you will be a big servant girl by then, so you have to know what to do at critical moments, how can you do it now."

She almost brought disaster to the mansion, the girl not only ignored the previous suspicions, but even promoted her.Thinking of this, Gu Yu wanted to cry even more.

"Girl, I'm sorry, what if Chu San talks too much and tells others what to do."

Wei's mother has been watching from the side, and she also knows that Gu Yu's mouth is not strict, but her cleverness is one in a million.This time, it is both big and small.Seeing Ah Mao's combination of kindness and power, how to deal with her submissively, and taught her a lesson that will never be forgotten, she admired it in her heart.Now that Ah Mao has set up the stage, she has to continue singing the play.

Looking at Ah Mao helplessly, Mother Wei sighed, "According to Niang, such a talkative maid should break up the board and sell it."

Gu Yu hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy repeatedly.

Wei Wei heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, hugged Wei's mother's arm and acted like a baby: "Mother, my daughter is used to Gu Yu, if she offends you, please forgive her once."

Wei's mother nodded her head dotingly: "Seeing that you are so twisted like a monkey, you don't look like a big girl who wants to get married. Since you like it, then let her take a look. As for Chu Sanna, I still have to pull down my old face and ask the old lady to restrain me."

Although Gu Yu was grateful just now, she always kept a bit of luck in her heart.These years, the girl was in the Hou's mansion, and she was the only maid in the mansion.She is a servant girl in name, but in fact she is in charge of the expenses of the inner house, so she is considered half the master.She knows that the girl is the serious master, but the habits of many years cannot be changed overnight.She thought Mother Wei wouldn't be too fussy, but she didn't understand until just now who Mother Wei was holding in her palm.Although Wei's mother used to be lenient, once she offended a girl, she would be exposed.

"Even if you get married, Ah Mao will take your mother with you and honor you for the rest of your life."

Wei Wei's mouth seemed to have been smeared with honey, and after coaxing Wei's mother to smile, she then ordered: "Gu Yu get up first, go down to wash and rest, and accompany me to the shop tomorrow."

"Yes."

Gu Yu returned to the servant's room respectfully, looked at the clean bedding in the room, and touched the pair of red gold bracelets in the jewelry box.There is no work that can never be done, and no parents who are born to drown when they see a girl.Compared with before, she is living a fairy-like life now.After being comfortable for a long time, she almost forgot her duty. Fortunately, the girl is kind.Looking at myself in the mirror, I heard that my father and mother have given birth to three sons in a row over the years, and the family is so poor that they can barely afford food.If she was driven home at this time, she would definitely be raided and sold for skin and meat business.

Thinking of Yan Yun whose clothes were as tattered as her own when she was a child, Gu Yu roughly understood that the girl's future husband's family would definitely not be happy.It's not appropriate to say anything about this now, but she will remember the girl's kindness to her, and if she dares to tease her in the future, Gu Yu is not a vegetarian.Recalling that when she was young, she tried her best to get rid of the aggressiveness when she was sold to the brothel, she clenched her fists tightly, and whoever wants to bully the girl in the future will have to pass her Gu Yu first.

Wei Wei didn't know at all that she had subdued such a formidable confidant just by making a small effort.Now she is busy preparing the things needed for the wedding, from renting a temporary wedding room to the small dragon and phoenix candles placed in the wedding hall, she has to handle everything.There is still a regulation for these anyway, the most troublesome thing is to entertain guests.There are only two mothers and daughters in the Wei family, including the family servants and the rice shop manager, and they can't make up two tables after all the calculations.

Thinking of the end, she just rested her chin and waited for Yan Heng to come back, and asked him if the Yan family could have more people.

As soon as the curfew passed, Yan Heng came back smelling of alcohol, holding the sleeping little guy in his arms.After he put down the little guy and came to the well to wash up, Wei Wei also stood up.

"you're drunk?"

Yan Heng shook his head: "The lord and the prince had a good time talking and drinking, and I only drank a few glasses with them."

Hearing his voice was still clear, Wei Wei asked: "How many people are there from the Yan family? It's against common sense for us to have a marriage in the capital. It's human nature if the Yan family doesn't want to. Ask everyone about their habits, and try to be considerate in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. When they are comfortable, they will be less dissatisfied."

Yan Heng was a little dizzy, only to hear Ah Mao looking at him with concern and whispering something softly in his ear.It took him a long time to realize, he felt like drinking honey in his heart.Dizzy and sweet, he laughed foolishly.

"Ah Mao is so kind, you are so kind, how could they pick on you. I wronged Ah Mao, and I can't give you the wealth of the Hou Mansion."

Seeing that the apology in his eyes almost turned into substance, Wei Wei couldn't help but soften her heart.He still took to heart what the son said.

"I don't blame you, I know you have worked hard."

"Well, I will work harder."

After speaking, he leaned over, wrapped her arms tightly in his arms, and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.The smell of alcohol mixed with his unique breath rushed towards his face, a numbness rose from the soles of his feet, and Wei Wei froze in place.

Yan Heng was also awakened by the coolness between his lips, the soft touch hit him, and he was completely awake from the alcohol.With his arms stiff, he said awkwardly: "The Yan family won't come over, I'm the one to deal with the banquet guests, you just need to get married with peace of mind."

After thinking for a while, he added another sentence: "The Yan family is a hereditary military household, so you can't leave your place of origin without authorization. It's late at night, you should go back to your room early to rest."

"But."

"You don't have to worry about them."

Who is worried about this, Wei Wei was secretly annoyed, and her embroidered shoes stomped on his feet fiercely: "Stupid Ah Heng, your arms should be loose."

After her figure disappeared behind the door, Yan Heng stroked his lips with his index finger, secretly annoyed that Jiu Jin had said those frustrating words just now.I'm sorry Ah Mao was originally his fault. He worked hard to give her a good life. It's not good to make her soft-hearted with such sympathy.
