pampering wife

Chapter 103

When the carriage drove to Huazhi Lane, Junli told Qingmei to cultivate herself well, and he would send someone to fetch medicine and bring it over.Qingmei couldn't help thanking him a few more words, Junli looked at her and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about these things, it's what I just said, you should think about it carefully."

"What's the matter?" Qingmei was taken aback, and then realized what Jun Li was referring to, she opened her mouth to repeat it when she saw him, she quickly covered her ears, and fled out of the car as if flying.

Jun Li raised the curtain of the car to see her rushing into the courtyard like a rabbit, guessing that her injury was not serious, he also left in peace.

Here, Qingmei entered the yard holding a painful arm, when Xu Shi asked about it, she only said that she accidentally fell down.She had just entrusted Chu Xiuming to help him find some reliable hired workers two days ago, and now he was standing in the courtyard with seven people, all of whom were strong and strong women.

Because most of the customers of Qingmei Tavern are rich and noble official women, most of them still pay attention to the difference between men and women. It is not as small as Wancheng, where Changsheng can watch the shop, so she plans to mix the hired workers in the wine cellar in the backyard with those in the front shop. The waiters are all chosen as women.

Mrs. Xu had already looked at them roughly before, and Chu Xiuming also briefly talked about their backgrounds. Either their sons were stationed far away in Beisai and were lonely and helpless, or their husbands died in battle and lived on meager money from the court, but their personalities were not good. It is trustworthy.

Qingmei looked it over, and there were five women left.

It was the night when Xu Huaiyuan was on vacation, he learned that Xu's family and Qingmei had moved out of Gu's residence, they rushed to Huazhi Lane in a hurry, the whole family was very happy and lively.The siblings are used to playing around, and they are in their own home, so they are naturally unrestrained, returning to the good old days, Qingmei only feels that such ordinary happiness is really rare.

Two days later, when Gu Changqing came back from the government office, he passed by Huazhi Lane, and said that Mrs. Gu missed Qingmei very much, and wanted to invite her to the mansion for dinner, and let Luzhu accompany her.

Now that they have already moved out, Qingmei doesn't mind too much, and readily agrees to come down and walk with Gu Changqing.

Everything in Gu's mansion remained the same, Qingmei arrived in Deliufang Hall, Mrs. Gu leaned on the beauty couch under the porch with her eyes closed, while Gu Ronghua and Gu Hanying were playing chess next to her.Seeing Gu Changqing coming in, Gu Ronghua and the sisters got up and saluted. Mrs. Gu opened her eyes when she heard the sound, and beckoned Qingmei to sit down.

Next to them, Gu Hanying and Qingmei exchanged a few words and then excused themselves to leave. Gu Ronghua looked a little depressed, greeted lazily, and went to the house to look for flowers.Qingmei was quite surprised when she saw that she was walking in a daze, but she had a grudge against Gu Ronghua for a long time, so she didn't take it to heart.

Mrs. Gu seems to have fully accepted the matter of opening a tavern, she changed her usual resistance, and was concerned about the progress of wine making.

After Qingmei answered them one by one, Mrs. Gu asked, "Have you been to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion recently?"

When she mentioned this, Qingmei knew what was waiting for her, and she couldn't help feeling bored, she said lightly: "I've been there." Madam Gu then said: "General Chu has been in the capital recently, I have entrusted him, If you run into any trouble, just go to him."

Qingmei continued to answer lightly, seeing that it was still early, she said: "Is there something wrong that my aunt called me over?"

"I can't find you if I have nothing to do?" Mrs. Gu seemed to have forgotten the previous unhappiness, and there was a kind of kindness in her smile.However, Qingmei's attitude was obvious, so she continued: "Master wants to tell you something today, so you should go to Hanjin Hall first." Qingmei didn't know why Gu Shangshu was looking for her, so she agreed down.

In Dehan's hall, Gu Shangshu came back early today and was reading in the study.Seeing Qingmei come in, he waved away the crowd and asked straightforwardly: "I heard from Madam that you don't want to marry into Marquis Wu'an's residence?"

"Yes." Qingmei nodded.

Gu Shangshu didn't care why she didn't want to marry, but said in a deep voice: "Have you ever weighed the importance of this marriage?" He was silent for a moment, looked at Qingmei without any reaction, and continued: "Family background aside Said, your father's case is also closely related to this marriage."

After saying this, Qingmei immediately raised her head to look at him, Gu Shangshu was silent, Qingmei asked in a low voice: "What does Uncle mean by this?"

"If you become the daughter-in-law of the Hou's Mansion, the Hou's Mansion will make great efforts to rehabilitate General Qu. Otherwise, the matter has nothing to do with you. Looking at the past relationship, at most you can contribute two or three points." Gu Shangshu paced back and forth. Walking up to her, he asked, "You don't want him to be wronged all the time, do you?"

Qingmei bit her lip tightly and shook her head.How could she hope that her father would always be wronged?
Gu Shangshu took advantage of the situation and said: "I don't care why you resist this marriage, but I have spent several years on your father's unjust case. In the last fight, I don't want you to stay out of it." A little bit of sternness and reproach, a little bit of expectation and persuasion, as if Qingmei was not filial or fraternal if she didn't marry into the Hou's mansion, and it was a waste of his years of planning.

These words fell into Qingmei's ears, and they really had a somewhat demagogic meaning.

She didn't know much about court affairs, she didn't understand the intricate relationship behind this unjust case, and she didn't understand how much weight she had in it.But the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason is not a child's play. How easy is it to overturn the case?
