Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 167
"Ugh…"

Zhao Min looked at the delicious food on this big table, but he also lost his appetite. After eating for a long time, he didn't even eat half a bowl of rice.

Gu Lingqing listened to Zhao Min's sighs for countless times, and remembered that she was looking at the porcelain on the ground with a sad face just now, and felt that she was in a good mood, and the arc of her mouth was charming.

In fact, Zhao Min has been moaning, not because he thinks how hard it is to learn etiquette this afternoon, but because he wants to hear Gu Lingqing say something to comfort him.

However, ever since he was at the dinner table, Gu Lingqing only cared about eating by himself, with an unexplained smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhao Min couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"Hey!" Zhao Min sighed heavily again. Gu Lingqing finally looked at her this time, but she didn't ask her why she sighed. Instead, she took a chopstick from the dish and put it in her bowl.中: "Try this, it's very refreshing."

Zhao Min looked at the green vegetables in his bowl, and put the chopsticks on the table irritably: "No more, I'm full." After speaking, he got up and walked out of the yard, sitting alone on the stone bench in the yard On the ground, watching an ant walking back and forth under the feet.

Gu Lingqing was stunned for a moment after seeing her go out, then couldn't help laughing, and put down the chopsticks in her hand, and when she went out, she saw her sitting on the stone bench alone, that slightly lonely back made Gu Lingqing hold back her laughter.

"Why don't you eat? Is today's food not to your liking?" Before Zhao Min could answer, Gu Lingqing said to herself, "I also want to come. I'm used to my own cooking. I don't know why. Do you cook by yourself?"

Hearing Gu Lingqing babbling here and there, Zhao Min felt even more depressed, and immediately said in a bad tone: "Okay, I'll cook by myself tomorrow, just my own."

After speaking, he turned his head to the side and stopped looking at Gu Lingqing.

Gu Lingqing looked at Zhao Min as if she was really angry, and stopped teasing her, walked to the other side and sat down, looking at her fixedly: "Why do you always sigh today?"

Hearing that he finally asked this sentence, Zhao Min felt a little joy in his heart, but quickly suppressed it, coughed twice, and corrected his expression.

"I don't have it." This is the dead duck's mouth stiff, "I'm in a good mood!"

"Okay, okay, you're in a good mood." Gu Lingqing didn't refute, but echoed her words, and then stopped talking.

Zhao Min, on the other hand, couldn't hold back anything. Seeing that he stopped talking, he simply didn't wait for him to ask himself, and uttered all the troubles in his heart: "Why do you think there are so many people in this imperial city?" Rules, is it okay for me to stay in the mansion all day without going out? Do I have to learn these etiquettes?"

"In this palace, you naturally don't have to abide by so many rules, and you can do whatever you want, but..."

After Gu Lingqing paused, she considered her words in her heart before speaking.

"There are some things you don't know. My situation in the imperial city is not very good. The crown prince is staring at me fiercely. He must have gotten the news that I brought a woman back to Beijing."

When it comes to this, Gu Lingqing's tone is unavoidably worried. Now that his wings are not yet full, this Gu Zixing is really a headache.

"Besides, in this imperial city, it is inevitable to have to deal with some people in the future. If someone finds a mistake in etiquette at that time, I am afraid it will not only be as simple as a reprimand."

Zhao Min rarely heard the helplessness in Gu Lingqing's tone. Although she didn't know the situation of the various forces in the imperial city, she also knew from Gu Lingqing's words that this was not a place where she could act recklessly.

After Zhao Min thought about it, he didn't feel tired anymore. He stood up immediately, clenched his right hand into a fist and waved it in front of him.

"Hmm! You're right. I'll continue to learn etiquette from tomorrow. I still don't believe I can do nothing to this little etiquette class!"

Seeing that Zhao Min returned to his former full of vigor, Gu Lingqing showed a look of appreciation in his eyes. This is the strong and resolute girl he likes.

After eating and talking so much to Gu Lingqing, Zhao Min's heart suddenly became clear, and he walked towards his yard contentedly.

Tonight, according to the rules, it was Qinlan's turn to watch the night.

"Miss Zhao, you should rest early, the servant is right outside the door, you can call the servant anytime if you have anything to do."

Zhao Min nodded, and saw Qin Lan go out from the inner room, closed the door, and slept in the outer room.

The next morning, just as the sky was dim, Zhao Min was called up by Nanny Gu.

Zhao Min rubbed her eyes with her hands. After a while, her eyes became a little clearer. Looking at Nanny Gu with a serious face, for some reason, Zhao Min really didn't feel scared at all, and whispered He muttered: "What time is it, I'm so sleepy."

Seeing Zhao Min's sleepless look, Nanny Gu raised her face on purpose: "Have you done all the etiquette yesterday?"

As soon as Nanny Gu mentioned etiquette, Zhao Min's only drowsiness was also driven away, and he immediately cheered up.

Zhao Min's side is closely learning the basic etiquette postures, but Yan Bei has nothing to do in this palace. When he first entered the mansion, Gu Lingqing ordered the housekeeper to arrange a place for him and then left him alone.

Yan Bei was also embarrassed to eat and drink for free in this palace. Finally, after three days of this kind of life, Yan Bei couldn't take it anymore. She stays in this mansion all day like a lady.

This morning, Yan Bei inquired about Yu Tingxuan where Zhao Min lives now, and came to her yard. Before entering the house, he heard Zhao Min complaining from inside: "I'm so tired, Madam Gu." Mom, when can I take a break?"

Thinking that she was studying etiquette, Yan Bei didn't bother her either. He stood still at the door like an officer and didn't go in to disturb her.

In fact, as soon as Yan Bei stepped into the courtyard, Nanny Gu had already sensed his aura, felt that he was standing at the door and hadn't come in again, so she also pretended not to know, and continued to train Zhao Min's etiquette.

"Hey!" Nanny Gu finally spoke, allowing Zhao Min to rest for a while, and Zhao Min immediately relaxed her straight back.

Seeing her revealing her true colors at this moment, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but shook her head amusedly, and only hoped that when she met a nobleman in the future, she could remember what she had taught her in the past few days, and there would be no major mistakes. , let her go.
