Chapter 44 The White Rabbit

Gu Chaobei's appointment was unexpected, but the emperor appointed him a servant as soon as he came up, which is really a great joy.So early this morning, Prime Minister Gu ordered Shen Guiyan to prepare lunch and share it with everyone in the hall.

Prime Minister Gu has always been smiling. Gu Chaobei has been embarrassing and causing trouble for him since he was a child, but now he is the one who has given him the most confidence.Although there are a lot of discussions outside, but once you are appointed as an official, you are appointed as an official. He is the first person in the court to be directly awarded an official title above the sixth rank without passing the scientific examination.

Naturally, Shen Guiyan was also happy. After busying herself with a lot of dishes, she went to invite Madam Gu and the aunts in person. The smiles on her face were neither too much nor too little, neither arrogant nor impetuous. nod.

"I won't go." Gu Chaodong stood in the yard with a pale face and said coldly.

Shen Guiya has already dressed up, wearing a chest-length skirt and a robe dyed with cherry blossoms, she looks slim and graceful.The makeup on her face is extremely delicate, and she has already used all the techniques learned in modern cosmetics shops.

"Why didn't Mr. Xiang go? The fourth brother is overjoyed anyway. If you don't come, father will be angry."

Shen Guiya helped persuade her, although she knew better than anyone else that Gu Chaodong was unwilling to go, it was a good thing that he did not want to go, and no one hindered her.

Gu Chaodong is wholeheartedly waiting for the scientific examination. He is very talented. After studying for so long, he has always been praised by everyone, and he has always been superior.He never thought that Gu Chaobei, who knew nothing, would get lucky and directly take the position of servant of the Ministry of Punishment that he wanted.

It was as if he had worked so hard to dig a well to drink water, but a rain cloud floated directly above Gu Chaobei's head, and he could drink it with his mouth open, but he could only stand by and watch.

"Boom!" With a punch on the tree in the yard, the veins on Gu Chaodong's forehead stood up.

God is so unfair!
Shen Guiya stroked her bun, and didn't intend to persuade her anymore, she just said: "That concubine will come back later to make you some snacks."

Then he held Yushu's hand and walked into the hall.

Gu Chaodong clenched his fists and looked at the tree in front of him bitterly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"How does the lady know that her husband likes to eat these?" Gu Chaobei looked at the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "But where did you find out?"

Sitting next to Gu Chaobei, Shen Guiyan lowered her head and said, "You usually like to pick these up when you eat, and I prepared three plates for myself, and the rest are what my parents-in-law like to eat, maybe you just love them too."

Gu Chaobei was in a good mood, and he was not afraid that Prime Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu would be by his side. He grabbed Shen Guiyan's hand and said, "Good lady, you are really a treasure for your husband."

These words really wanted to praise her, she came back too late yesterday, so she went to bed straight away, and even slept through breakfast.As soon as she woke up, she had already gone out to make meals, so she only had time to say a few words now.

But these words are too rambunctious!
Prime Minister Gu coughed lightly, Mrs. Gu had a straight face, and Aunt Guan next to her smiled and said, "Newlyweds have a good relationship, and this is just a sweetener. In the past, Third Miss Shen would probably regret marrying Fourth Young Master, but now she is very good at it." When the clouds bloom, the moon shines."

Shen Guiyan frowned slightly, and glanced at Aunt Guan.Aunt Guan didn't realize that her words were inappropriate, she held the handkerchief and said, "The Eldest Young Master probably won't come, and no one else should come, so let's use it first."

Prime Minister Gu nodded: "Use your chopsticks, Bei'er eat more."

Shen Guiyan picked up the chopsticks, saw the Prime Minister moved the first chopsticks, and then followed to pick up the vegetables.

"My concubine is a little curious." Aunt Guan said after eating, "What is the emperor thinking? Knowing that the fourth young master can't do anything, he is given such an important official position and asked him to investigate the case. If the investigation is not good , didn’t the master lose face?”

Prime Minister Gu pursed his lips: "Holy will is unpredictable. Since the emperor's grace is so great, Bei'er will do his best. My father will find someone to help you."

"Is there anything I can do to help? He is acting as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment temporarily, and he also has the power to serve as the servant." Mrs. Gu said with a straight face, "If you want to investigate, you can do it yourself, don't rely on other people."

"Mother-in-law." Shen Guiya sat across from Gu Chaobei, raised her head after hearing this, and said, "You can't say that, the honor and disgrace of the fourth younger brother are all related to the prime minister's mansion, so we should all look forward to him."

With a smile on her face, her voice was a little softer than usual, Gu Chaobei looked up at her.

This woman has been looking at him since the moment she came in, and he understands what's in her eyes very clearly, and he just feels refreshed in his heart.

It's not that he is happy that he has such charm, but seeing that Gu Chaodong married such a dirty woman, life is obviously not easy, so he is relieved.

It's also fortunate that Gu Chaodong was blind back then, and fortunately the woman across from him had many tricks, otherwise he wouldn't be with Yan'er.

Mrs. Gu's expression became even uglier when Shen Guiya said this, and the Prime Minister even said, "Ya'er is more sensible than you."

Then Mrs. Gu kept a cold face and said nothing.

Shen Guiya didn't even realize that she had offended someone, she helped Gu Chaobei to speak, no matter what, she would win his favor, after this meal, her eyes were as if they were on Gu Chaobei's body. Very hot.

The prime minister and his wife probably didn't pay attention to the table, Aunt Guan saw Shen Guiya's eyes, her expression was a little unpredictable, and she didn't make a sound.

Shen Guiyan frowned slightly, put down her chopsticks and looked at Shen Guiya.She knew that Gu Chaobei was very good-looking, but as a sister-in-law, Shen Guiya kept staring at her like this, wasn't she too rude?

Unexpectedly, Shen Guiya was not afraid of her gaze at all, and looked back with a little provocation.

"It is said that the dancer in the mansion has prepared a new dance." Shen Guiya said: "After the meal is over, why don't everyone go back and have a look?"

"Oh?" Gu Chengxiang was in a good mood, nodded and said: "There is a new dance, so I have to see it."

Shen Guiya smiled brightly, and glanced at Gu Chaobei with a hint of temptation.

Gu Chaobei looked down at the cabbage in the bowl, and began to think about the case in his heart, but suddenly felt the person next to him pull his arm, pulling him back.

Looking up in a daze, Gui Yan was standing in front of him with half of her body, looking at Shen Guiya, their gazes met fiercely, but the woman on the opposite side had thick rouge on her eyes, which obviously overwhelmed his Yan'er. down.

"Are you full?" Gu Chaobei took Shen Guiyan's hand and asked softly.

Shen Guiyan said angrily: "Yes."

I'm full of anger, I've seen shameless people, I've never seen such shameless people.Gu Chaodong was snatched away by her, and now she is after Gu Chaobei?Does this person know what it means to obey the three virtues and follow one to the end?You are already married and pregnant, why do you still look at other people's men like this?
She admits that Shen Guiya is much prettier than before, and her makeup looks good, but that doesn't mean she will give her husband to her again!
In fact, she still has a little guilty conscience, because she has always followed the rules, but Gu Chaobei doesn't like rules, she is afraid that he actually... doesn't like her much.

Clenching Gu Chaobei's hand, Shen Guiyan took a deep breath.Whether he likes it or not, she must guard her husband well this time!

"You're not afraid of looking at the eye of a needle for a long time." Gu Chaobei glanced at Shen Guiya and muttered in a low voice.

Shen Guiyan was cheering herself up in her heart, but when she heard this, she was stunned: "The eye of a needle?"

"It's nothing." Gu Chaobei didn't intend to teach her these foul words, so he raised his head and said to Prime Minister Gu, "Father, Yan'er and I have used it well."

"Well, just right." Gu Chengxiang wiped his mouth: "Everyone has used it up, so Yan'er will go and tell the dancer to come up."

"Yes." Shen Guiyan got up, and asked the servants to remove the table by the way.

"I'll go too." Shen Guiya stood up, followed behind Shen Guiyan and went out.

The dancers in the mansion did arrange a dance, not only did Shen Guiya know about it, but she had already made arrangements.

After catching up with Shen Guiyan, Shen Guiya smiled and said, "Hey, third sister, we haven't been able to talk properly for a long time."

Shen Guiyan glanced at her, but didn't return.

Shen Guiya was not angry either, and said with a smile: "Sister, do you still remember the oath you made with Chaodong?"

Oaths are women's favorite things, they are beautiful and emotional, but Shen Guiyan only now understands how illusory that thing is.

"Men, I love the other when I see one. My sister is much better than Ya'er. The reason why Chaodong chose me instead of my sister is because there is no novelty." Shen Guiya continued: "Now the fourth brother It's the same, his restless temperament is even more unstable than that of Chaodong, and he's already tired of you if he goes out to have a good time when he's just married."

"At this time, do I still look more novel as my sister?"

"What do you want to say?" Shen Guiyan couldn't help being angry no matter how good her temper was, she looked sideways at her and said, "One has to have a sense of shame to be a human being, doesn't sister-in-law know how to write the word self-respect?"

Shen Guiya was taken aback for a moment, and then "cut": "You feudal ethics are useless to me. I don't follow them. I only know that I like them and go for them. Everyone competes fairly."

Shen Guiyan sneered, feeling that there was nothing to argue with this person, and they had different ideas.

In the front is the Maiden Academy, and Shen Guiya took the time to say something: "Sister will see later, men are people who like novelty things, and sister, I am the most novelty in your world."

Just pretend you didn't hear it.

Shen Guiyan took a deep breath, although Gu Chaobei was partial to female sex, although he was a fool, but he should not be interested in Shen Guiya.If he had thought about it, he wouldn't always disdain her.

She should trust her husband.

After giving instructions to the dancing girl, Shen Guiyan ran back to Gu Chaobei in a flash.

"Master, I have a problem with myself." Shen Guiyan whispered with a serious face: "Do men like novelty things?"

Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows, not knowing why she suddenly asked this, but he answered honestly: "It's natural, people are interested in novelty."

Shen Guiyan pursed her lips, suddenly feeling a little frustrated.

"However..." Gu Chaobei held his tongue, turned his head to look at the dancing girl who came up in dancing clothes outside and said softly, "White Rabbit, walk around here and there."
