pampering wife

Chapter 64

On the way, Qingmei wanted to say something to Gu Changqing, but she didn't know where to start. The two brothers and sisters walked on the bluestone road, and Luzhu followed silently behind.

At a fork in the road, Gu Changqing turned to Qingmei and said, "Don't worry too much about today's matter." He said the same words as Mrs. Gu, but there was worry in his tone and eyes.

Qingmei smiled and said: "Thank you, Second Brother, I understand." Gu Changqing then warned: "In the future, if you have anything to do with wine making, feel free to come to me, and you don't have to tell Madam Ming. As for moving out, it's better for you to live in the mansion." As he spoke, he smiled at Qingmei, turned around and left, leaving Qingmei standing there, somewhat surprised.

According to Gu Changqing, she will be free in the future?If you want to go out to play, just tell him in the name of wine making?Qingmei smiled unconsciously.

Last time when she went to He's house in the name of buying wine utensils, Qingmei felt that Gu Changqing was deliberately covering and pampering her, and she really realized it at this moment.Thinking of Gu Changqing's sincere saying that day, no matter how you choose, I will help you, Qingmei felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

In fact, in this Gu mansion, not everyone is disgusting, at least there is Gu Changqing, who is completely different from other people in the mansion.

Most of the previous unhappiness disappeared, and Qingmei was very grateful to Gu Changqing.This young minister of Dali Temple is famous for his iron face, not only because of his seriousness in official affairs, but also because of his impartiality and selflessness.
When she returned to the colored glass courtyard, Mrs. Xu had already cleaned and tidied up the wine jars she bought with her two servant girls, the golden hairpin and the jade hairpin.Looking at the neat row of wine jars, Qing Mei almost forgot all the troubles in her heart, and concentrated on taking care of those fruits.Since there is no wine cellar in Gu's mansion, it is necessary to vacate a room to arrange it properly, and then Mrs. Xu will watch it in person.

The next day, Mother He came to teach etiquette, and the place was set in the Xinghua Pavilion—Master Zhang would teach articles one day, and Mother He would teach etiquette the next afternoon. Qingmei would take care of the wine when she was free.

The day to go to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion was set on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Qingmei took time to think about it while she was busy making wine, and decided to make more fruit wine.When the time comes, send some to Princess Yongle, He's family and Wu Yujian's family can also send some over, Mrs. Gu must keep a few pots, the rest, there are other magical uses.

With her mind set, she sent Lu Zhu to the Museum of Bogu in the early morning. Gu Changqing went to the Dali Temple and hadn't returned yet, so he had to go to the Museum of Xinghua first.At [-]:[-] p.m., a servant came to invite her, saying that Gu Changqing had returned after finishing his official duties.

At this time, the sky was gloomy, like it was going to snow.When Qingmei came to the Bogu Museum, Gu Changqing was laying out a pen and ink to write in the study. After hearing Qingmei's plan, he asked the servant to arrange a car and horse to take Qingmei out, and then asked Luzhu to accompany him——Gu Ronghua had a trouble that day After that, Gu Changqing trusted Luzhu a little bit.

Because the sky was cloudy and snowy, Gu Changqing told Qingmei to be careful on the road and go back early.

Today is Laba, and every family in the capital is cooking Laba porridge, and Buddhist temples around the world are also taking advantage of the festival of Buddha's enlightenment to serve Laba porridge to everyone. The streets will be busier than usual, and naturally it will be more chaotic.

When Qingmei arrived at the gate of Defu, there was already a carriage waiting there, although the boy driving the carriage was dressed in short short clothes, but he looked smart and strong.

The air outside was getting colder and colder. When the carriage was driving slowly, Qingmei raised the side curtain to look outside, and saw some snowflakes falling sporadically from the sky, caught in the biting coldness in the cold wind.

Naturally, she went out of the mansion not only to buy wine utensils and fruits, so the carriage went straight to Chongrenfang after leaving the alley, where she picked up He Zilian, and the little sisters went to the market.

There was still some time before noon, so Qingmei went to the small shop selling crock pots and porcelain jars last time in order not to delay her work.This time there was no Gu Changqing by her side, and Qingmei was wearing another style of veiled hat. The shopkeeper didn't recognize her at first, but only when Qingmei opened her mouth to pick out utensils did she recognize it, and she couldn't help laughing: "The girl is here? Come on." Can those times be used smoothly?"

Qingmei nodded and said, "Is there any problem with Mr. Wu?"

"Oh, Mr. Wu is very happy after reading that note." The shopkeeper led Qingmei to the backyard, "He predicted that the girl would come to the store again, and asked me to make some more. This is not in the kiln."

"Really?" Qing Mei was overjoyed, and asked him what he had burnt, most of them were suitable for use, and told him to burn them and send them to Gu's residence.

After getting out of the shop, the more Qingmei thought about it, the more she felt that Wu Boren was really interesting, so she bought two jugs of good wine in a nearby tavern, and made a special trip to Lirenfang.But she didn't knock on the door to visit Wu Boren, she just wrote a note and left the wine jar at the door of Wu's house and left——

One is that Qingmei and Wu Boren seem to have forgotten their old friends, and Wu Boren is now an old urchin, so there is no need for politeness; the other is that time is limited, it is rare that there is a lot of excitement outside, and she still wants to play with He Zilian for a while!
There is a Baqiao Street outside Lirenfang. There are many stalls on both sides, selling all kinds of authentic and delicious snacks. The little sisters parked the carriage outside, and went straight to the street with Luzhu to search for various delicacies.

The thin snow was still falling in the sky, and the three of them got into a shop together with the boy, wanting to try the famous mutton steamed buns on the street.The small shop was steaming with mist and business was booming. Lu Zhu sat with the boy, Qing Mei and He Zilian sat at the same table, and when they were sitting idle waiting for food, the sharp-eyed He Zilian suddenly pointed at the bookshop opposite and said, "Hey, that's not me." Brother, who is that girl next to you?"
