Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 15
Apparently, members of the Zhang family didn't expect this situation to happen, and there were all sorts of expressions for a while, only Mrs. Zhang forced a smile, and said dryly that the fourth prince had a heart.

Although Zhang Wanqing was calm, she couldn't help but scrutinized Gu Changyan quietly, thinking that the other party would be angry, or even act violent, but she didn't want the little girl to have no other reaction except a little embarrassment.

At this time, another joyful voice broke the eerie silence, and the auspicious time had come...

It can be regarded as the end of the ceremony, but this is the most troublesome thing.In addition to everyone's frank glances and hesitating to speak, those eyes mixed with sympathy became more and more blatant, and the Zhang family's sudden deliberate hospitality made her very headache.

"Aren't you annoyed?" Princess Zhaofeng finally couldn't help it.

"What's bothering you?" Gu Changyan asked dully.

Princess Zhaofeng and a few girls pulled her aside, "Don't you think it's too much for the fourth prince to send Miss Zhang's congratulatory gift?" Girls give gifts like this, if it's just calligraphy, paintings, and ancient books, it's nothing more than hair, pearls, and jade.

Gu Changyan was at a loss, "Is it too much?" He continued to play dumb.

Seeing that she was indeed an unenlightened idiot, the girls shook their heads and walked away.

Xi'er called her softly with red eyes, "Miss..."

"Don't be sad, your lady doesn't care." Gu Changyan patted her hand and whispered comfort in her ear.

On the way home, An Mingzhu kept staring at Gu Changyan's face, but unfortunately she didn't see anything.Now she is getting more and more puzzled, is this cousin really ignorant or just pretending too well?For any woman, these things today would definitely be difficult.

After returning to Xiangningyuan to answer the question, people feel tired and want to take a bath, eat white rice, and stay in the room to read, practice calligraphy, and play chess.As for what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Changyan couldn't figure out what gesture to use to express it, so he kept it a secret.Anyway, there are so many people who will help her learn the tongue from the old lady.

Gu Yanqing left school early today, so he entered Mujinyuan one step earlier than his sister.As the end of the new year approaches, the ethnology school will be closed after another five days of class, and it will not resume until the first month of the lunar year.It happened to be able to free up time to help my sister.

After dinner, the two of them went to the study to play chess together. Gu Changyan took this opportunity to avoid the seriousness of what happened in Bai Rixiang's mansion and said, "Miss Zhang is getting married today, and the fourth prince sent a congratulatory gift. If you listen outside Don't worry about gossip."

"It's not a trivial matter, is it?" Gu Yanqing paused with his fingers, and then gently put down the bag.

"Father and grandmother will deal with it on their own." Maybe she will be called for questioning tomorrow morning, but the final decision is just to persuade her to be patient and not to fall out with the Fourth Prince.Compared to the interests of the Duke's Mansion, Gu Yanyun's interests, her Gu Changyan's happiness is nothing, it's just a tool.

Although each has their own minds, it can be regarded as the same goal by different routes.She is only 11 years old after the new year, and she is definitely not the one who can't afford to wait.

Prime Minister
The ceremony was so beautiful that everyone in the Zhang family was rewarded. The wives and grandma laughed all day, their faces froze. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand the tiredness herself, so the eldest lady decided to break up the private tea party.Zhang Wanqing was looking at the gift list sent by the warehouse manager in her room at this time. These things will be her dowry in the future, so she must be more careful.

When Mrs. Zhang came, she saw that her daughter was sitting under the open window with only a robe on.

"You tell mother honestly, what happened to the fourth prince?" After holding back for a day, if she didn't get a satisfactory answer, she might not be able to sleep all night.

Zhang Wanqing was dumbfounded, "Daughter and Fourth Highness did not exceed the rules."

She is an aristocratic daughter, Zhao Yanran is a child of the royal family, the age difference between the two is not too big, and they often go to the same party, at first they can say a few polite words, but as they meet each other more often, the two become acquainted , but never communicated in private.She was also shocked by the fourth prince's actions today, but she has not had time to think about it in the future.Now my mother asked specifically, because she was afraid that this matter would not be so easy.

"His marriage was decided by the empress dowager first. You are pure-hearted, don't let someone take advantage of you." The daughter I raised carefully, needless to say, the future, these two years are the key, whether it is her or their eldest wife, Never want anything to go wrong.

"Also, your grandfather picked out the gift from the fourth prince." The old man's meaning was very clear, he wanted to return to Prince Rui's residence.

Zhang Wanqing was surprised, her face was a little unhappy, no matter what the fourth prince's intentions were, she had to admit that those congratulatory gifts were all to her liking.Now she is going to be sent back before she has to examine it carefully. She is only a 15-year-old daughter, how can she be willing.

Seeing what she was thinking, Mrs. Zhang was also a little worried. If they had a family of bells and lanterns, and Wanqing was a granddaughter, there were no good things, but no one thought there were too many good things.The congratulatory gifts from the fourth prince, not to mention her as a mother, even the elder is a little tempted. That set of ancient books is inestimable.

"It's something that can't be helped. You can't hurt your reputation." The Gu family will probably hold back, and the Zhang family should also show their attitude. As for the fourth prince, there are naturally people who can take care of him.In this way, the matter is considered over.

After the eldest lady left, Zhang Wanqing was taken to rest by the nanny.Tossing and turning for half a night, it is always difficult to fall asleep.During the day, the images of the maids in Prince Rui's residence giving congratulatory gifts appeared again and again, disturbing her.

Early the next morning, Gu Changyan was indeed called to the Jingzhong Hall, but to his surprise there was only Gu Zheng alone.

"Sit down." Gu Zheng ordered coldly.

"What did you do at Zhang Xiang's mansion yesterday?"

Gu Changyan frowned slightly, what did she do?what can she do
He ramblingly told the other party when he went out, when he arrived at Zhang Xiang's mansion, who he met after entering the mansion, where he went, and when he came back from the mansion.

Gu Zheng's complexion was naturally grim, he couldn't figure out whether he was angry with this girl, in the Qixiang Mansion, or the Fourth Prince.

"If father has no other orders, my daughter will go back first." Seeing that the other party seemed to be in a trance, Gu Changyan was a little impatient.

"You handled this matter improperly, which hurt the face of the Gu family, and punished you to shut yourself up and think about it for half a month." Gu Zheng sternly reprimanded.

The corner of Gu Changyan's mouth curled up in sarcasm, but he suppressed the urge to retort, but the fist hidden under his wide sleeves did not let go for a long time.It's ironic that she should be grounded for nothing she's done wrong.But now resisting will not get the result she wants, and it will only make her and Gu Yanqing's situation more difficult.

I don't know who spread the news about Gu Changyan's grounding, complicating the situation.Those noble courtyards in the capital can say anything after dinner.The Zhang family and the Gu family were both ashamed.

Prince Rui's Mansion

Zhao Yanran was in a very bad mood when she heard that the steward had reported to the Prime Minister that all the congratulatory gifts had been sent back.He admitted that he was too impatient, with such a big fanfare, still in front of his fiancée, how could the prudent Mr. Zhang dare to accept it.It would be great if there was no such marriage as the Gu family. Whether it was Gu Changxi back then or Gu Changyan now, he had never looked at them directly.Among the women in this world, only Wan Qing is different.

Shen Jingduo didn't want to persuade him at first, but since His Royal Highness knew that the person who killed him was the Crown Princess, his temperament changed a lot, and he seemed to only care about his own happiness in doing things, regardless of the consequences.Shen Jingduo always felt that going on like this would never be a good thing.

"My subordinates found out that Mr. Xiang is looking for a family for Miss Zhang, and it has only been two years since he left the court. You..." It's better to rest this distraction.

Even if the Gu family didn't mind, how could the Xiangfu agree to let the good Miss Yi be his side concubine.Although she has the same rank, but after cutting out these prefixes, she is still a concubine in essence.Taking Zhang Xiang as a person, he would only feel that the fourth prince was humiliating the Zhang family, and he must go to the emperor to discuss it, so what would the fourth prince do then?Shen Jingduo sighed secretly, His Royal Highness might be a demon.

"Go and check yourself, who are there." Zhao Yanran ordered in a deep voice.

Shen Jingduo had no choice but to persuade herself, but the other party would not listen at all.

"Miss Gu San, you really don't care?" Hearing that he was grounded, it's very pitiful.

"I have nothing to do with her life or death." Zhao Yanran said coldly.

Shen Jingduo paused, and tentatively said: "Your Highness, what are your plans for Miss Zhang's family? This subordinate can make arrangements in advance." The words were tactful, but in fact, the first sentence was what he wanted to know the most.

Zhao Yanran pursed her lips and did not answer, obviously the other party really gave him the question.

On the other hand, the disaster for the younger brothers and sisters of the Gu family has not stopped. Gu Changyan was grounded, but Gu Yanqing was asked by the old lady to move out of the Hibiscus Courtyard and go to the outer courtyard to be with the young cousin An Shengmao.The servants of Hibiscus Courtyard were all quietly wiping away their tears, and Gu Changyan was in an unprecedentedly depressed mood.Instead, Gu Yanqing kept comforting her.

"Brother, eat well, keep practicing, and visit the shop for me when you have time." Gu Changyan sucked on his reddish nose.

"It's all yours." He wasn't sad, nor was he worried.But seeing that his sister was already so sad, he was deeply afraid that if he showed a little bit, Gu Changyan would cry uncontrollably.They cannot collapse at this juncture.

In addition to Gu Yanqing, there were two cousins ​​who changed their residence this time.

An Mingzhu continued to live in Liushuangyuan, while Duan Shiyi was assigned to Hexiangyuan with a small lotus pond.Duan Shiyi's grandmother is the old lady's younger sister. It is said that she likes to swim in the lotus pond since she was a child, so the old lady didn't ask Duan Shiyi if she would like it or not, and arranged for it directly.And An Mingzhu always liked the exquisite Liushuangyuan, and now that she can get a separate residence like the dignified lady of the government, she wished that Duan Shiyi would move away immediately.

When Weng Qimin came back, it was already the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. It is reasonable to say that at this time she should be detained at home to meet relatives who returned to Beijing for the New Year, but she just ran to Liang Guogong's mansion regardless.Seeing that Gu Changyan was thinner than before, he hugged and cried a lot.

"You still love me." Gu Changyan kissed her chubby little face.

Weng Qimin brought the other side of his face closer, and Gu Changyan kissed again, and the two smiled.

"Don't you have any complaints?" Recalling carefully, this third sister Gu seems to seldom complain in front of her.Weng Qimin believes that when encountering such grievances, one should cry or make a fuss, even cursing, it is better than swallowing one's anger and suffocating oneself to death.

Gu Changyan sighed, "Don't mention my bad things, tell me what fun things you encountered on this trip." Her situation has nothing to do with the fourth prince, Zhang Wanqing, because she has no parents, marriage The lines are also poor.She is not a saint, and she is also angry and sad, but now she is too weak, has no money and no one, and her brother has not yet achieved fame.

However, telling Weng Qimin these words from the bottom of his heart would only make one more person feel sorry for her.Such a lovely girl, how could she give up.

"Don't even think about turning away." The little fat man stood on the roof, staring at her condescendingly with his hips akimbo.

Gu Changyan smiled and pulled her down, "It's not like you don't know the situation of our brothers and sisters."

Weng Qimin finally stopped persecuting her, and pulled her into his arms, "I'll go back and ask my father to adopt you as adopted daughters and sons, and you can move to my house in the future." Gu Sanmei is so good, her father and mother will definitely do the same. like.

Gu Changyan was taken aback, "Don't, don't..." Little ancestor.

"Aren't you disgusted?"

"How come."

"That……"

"Okay, I know you want to help us. How about this, I want to rent out the two farms in the outer city, but there is no one in hand right now, how about I borrow your farm to manage things?" If it weren't for the Gu family becoming more and more unreliable , she will not advance the plan.Speaking of which, no matter in her previous life or in this life, she doesn't like to cause trouble for others, but she just lives for a lifetime, so she can't really be decathlon.

With bright eyes, Weng Qimin held her hand, "By the way, let him repair the yard for you."

Gu Changyan hesitated, "This..."

"Don't say too much, lead me to your study."

Weng Qimin was about to jump off the couch, but was hugged by Haitang, who had quick eyes and quick hands, and put on her shoes angrily before allowing her to get off the ground.To say that the fat lady in her family is easy to serve, but she is too greedy. Haitang is really worried that someday someone will abduct her with a few mouthfuls.

The two little girls spent a long while in the study, sorting out the things to be done.Weng Qimin originally thought that he would even pay for the repair of the yard for her, but Gu Changyan refused to agree.After excluding the daily expenses of the siblings, New Year's rewards, and the first two months of turnover of the shop, the rest of her money was handed over to Weng Qimin.

"I'm afraid the money is not enough. I see this job, and I count as much as I do." I will continue to work when I have more money.

The tavern is not big and has a ready-made cellar, so there are not many pure off-plan buildings.But those two Zhuangzi are different. When she passed the abandoned yard of the original owner last time, she felt that the location was not well chosen, so she planned to choose another place to re-enclose the land.Mr. Feng Shui is an expense, and the pre-processes such as logging, weeding, and waste rock cleaning are another expense, and then the real work.

Weng Qimin was quite helpless, how did she find out that the third sister Gu was so alien.So with a straight face, "You can rest assured."
