pampering wife

Chapter 34

Back in the Liuliyuan, I talked to Mrs. Xu about this while there was no one around, Mrs. Xu was also puzzled and said: "We are new here, and we have never offended her. If she is in a bad mood because of that matter, there is no need to be ignored. You." That incident naturally refers to Gu Ronghua's divorce by the third prince.

Qingmei also couldn't figure it out, so she turned to say: "I see that the second brother Gu and his wife are talking today, and the two seem to be a little alienated. Sigh, why do people in this house..." She was used to the closeness of a family, and suddenly In such a situation, it is inevitable to be emotional.

Mrs. Xu is also puzzled. According to the information obtained earlier, Gu Changqing is a well-known young talent in Beijing, and he is also very filial to Gu Shangshu. Why is his relationship with Mrs. Gu so embarrassing?She sighed: "The relationship between a big family is complicated, and people's hearts are unpredictable. It's good that you have seen it now."

The two mothers talked for a while, both sighing.

Going to Liufangtang for dinner at night, Gu Ronghua's attitude was still neither salty nor bland.Qing Mei didn't care too much, according to her plan, when she and Mrs. Gu had gotten along well, she still had to find a way to move out of Gu's mansion and open a tavern. How would Gu Ronghua's attitude affect her at that time?
There are so many serious things to do in her short life, Qingmei doesn't want to waste time with this proud lady.

But it's not a problem to procrastinate like this, we still have to find a way to move out as soon as possible!
Qingmei spent seven or eight days in Gu's residence, the weather gradually turned cold, with thin snow falling, the air became colder and colder.After breakfast, Qing Mei didn't go to Xinghua House to study, but said to Mrs. Gu: "Mother, a friend of mine is sick, and I don't know if it's getting better now. My daughter is worried about it and wants to go out to see it." look at her."

"The friend is in the capital?" Mrs. Gu said a little surprised.

"They just moved to the capital some time ago, and they live in Chongrenfang. They are a well-educated and polite family."

"Then let Lu Zhu follow you." Mrs. Gu frowned slightly, "There are a lot of fish and dragons in the market, and it's better for those people to stay away from each other."

Qingmei felt a little uncomfortable hearing this, she naturally did not agree with it, so she didn't respond, she just said: "The glass courtyard is still sorting things out, I'm afraid we can't do without the green pearl, let the nanny accompany you Me?"

Mrs. Gu pondered slightly, and Hongxiang smiled and said, "I used to send people to clean up the Liuliyuan, and I'm familiar with it. Girls, don't worry, take the green beads there, I'll take care of them." With that said, Mrs. Gu also agreed, and said to Hongxiang: "It happens that Qingmei's clothes are about to be made, you ask someone to send them over."

This sentence was the final word, Qingmei couldn't refuse anymore, so she could only thank her with a smile.Mrs. Gu also told Luzhu to take good care of Qingmei, with an earnest attitude.

When Qingmei went out, Hongxiang asked someone to arrange a carriage to take her there, and Qingmei took Xu Shi and Luzhu with her.Arriving at the residence of He's family, Luzhu came forward and knocked on the door. Seeing Qingmei behind, He Zilian happily took her arm and walked in, looked at Luzhu who was following behind, and asked in a low voice: "Is everything all right?" ?”

"Very good." Qingmei smiled, "How about you?" While speaking, she entered the room, and Mrs. He poured tea for Xu and Luzhu.Although they didn't ask the maids for help, the mother and daughter had nothing to do all day long, so they tidied up the house very neatly.At the beginning, Lu Zhu had a somewhat critical expression, but when she entered the room, she saw the high-quality pens, inks, papers and inkstones and a collection of books on the wall, so she put away her original contemptuous attitude.

Qingmei and He Zilian were talking in the room arm in arm, He Zilian asked Qingmei what was going on, Qingmei said: "Mrs. Gu recognized me as a foster daughter when she saw that she had found a good relationship with me, and she has been living in Gu's residence these days."

He Zilian knew that Gu's family was a relative of Qingmei's family, so she didn't think too much about it, she just said: "Wei Li has come here twice since you left, and although he passed by every time, he would stand in front of your house for a while .He also asked me where you went, and I said I didn’t know.”

Did Wei Li come to find her on purpose?Qingmei couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.Some are delighted by this, but thinking of the disparity in their identities, they will feel a little empty in their hearts.

With so many rich and powerful families in the capital, when it comes to her status, she can only be as low as the dust.With Wei Ligui's status, it is rare to be able to remember her as a friend, so what more can I ask for?
He Zilian asked again: "Are you going to live in their house from now on?"

"Of course not!" Qing Mei quickly shook her head, "I still want to open a tavern, how can I be trapped in that mansion. Living there is very boring, I still like to be outside, I can hang out with you, and I can also go out on the street. "He Zilian was deeply impressed after hearing this, and asked her what she planned to do, Qingmei smiled mysteriously and said: "This girl has her own arrangements."

On this trip out of the mansion, Qing Meiyi really missed He Zilian, and moreover, in order to get the fruit wine brewed earlier, she returned the courtyard by the way.

When she finished talking with He Zilian, Mrs. Xu had already settled the matter, and the three of them got into the carriage and walked back.Because it was inconvenient for Qingmei to bring the little one to Gu's residence, she could only continue to foster it in He's house, the dog had grown up a bit, and was very reluctant to linger behind Qingmei, calling Qingmei's eyes sour, and dawdling for a long time.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Gu's mansion, Qingmei took the lead and jumped off the shaft with a few wine gourds—she was jumping and jumping by herself since she was a child, she was still not used to being supported by others, and she really couldn't imitate the appearance of a delicate and noble lady .After Luzhu and Xu got out of the car, Qingmei walked towards the gate of the house, but the tall and straight figure that caught her eyes made her stop.

The snow in the Qingshi Long Lane is thin, and there is a cold wind passing by.There were a few maroon horses parked in front of the cold gate of the Gu Mansion, and the man walking on the snow with Gu Changqing was wearing a crane cloak and wearing leather boots, who wasn't Wei Li?
