The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 203 Looking for trouble

Gu Huayu followed Qing Yu out, took the incense in Uncle Hua's hand, bowed in all directions, inserted the incense into the incense burner, then took the red rope in Su's hand and pulled the flower ball curtain.

The gilt plaque with a blue background is exposed, and the three characters "Huayu Pavilion" are dazzling in the sunlight.

The gongs, drums and firecrackers suddenly sounded loudly.

After unveiling the plaque, Gu Huayu looked at the door. She was really disturbed by the noise, so she retreated into the house.

"Miss, Miss Shi from the Shi Mansion, Second Grandma Yang, and Princess Jinglian have arrived." Chaoyang came in and reported.

Gu Huayu hurriedly turned around to greet her. Princess Jinglian and her entourage had already gotten out of the car.

Gu Huayu stepped forward to greet her and let Princess Jinglian inside.

Miss Shi San took Gu Huayu's hand and said, "Xiaoyu, wait a minute, let me introduce you to a friend."

At this moment, Gu Huayu discovered that there was a woman wearing a gold-threaded gauze skirt standing next to Shi Yamei.

The woman is tall and has a pair of particularly vivid auspicious eyes. She is looking at herself with a smile.

Gu Huayu Fu Shen said: "Hello, I am Gu Huayu, thank you for coming to support me today."

Shi Yamei smiled and said: "Mingjin, this is Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu, this is Ye Mingjin, the third young lady of Chengguo Palace."

Ye Mingjin returned the gift to Gu Huayu and said: "Hello, Xiaoyu, I am Ye Mingjin. Thank you for your forgetfulness and encounter. I like it very much. I am here to send you blessings on behalf of Brother Ziqin."

Ye Mingjin said the last sentence very softly, so softly that only Gu Huayu could hear it. After saying that, he winked at Gu Huayu playfully.

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "As long as you like it, come to the house to invite me."

Gu Huayu let a few people into the house.

 Gu Chengjuan saw the opportunity and asked Chaoyang to serve tea. Princess Jinglian sat down and took a sip of tea. She looked around and said to Yang Jing: "This place is not small. Let's take a stroll?"

Yang Jing nodded, "Okay! Let's go! Let's go shopping."

Gu Huayu hurriedly got up to accompany her.

“Miss, the third young lady from the Prime Minister Wang’s residence is here.” Qing Yu came over and whispered.

Gu Huayu was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself that she was afraid that the person who came was not good.

Wang Qin stood behind Gu Huayu. After listening to Qingyu’s words, he stepped forward and said to Gu Huayu, “Miss, it’s not good for me to have a head-on conflict with her. I’ll let you and the second lady receive her.

Gu Huayu nodded and told Qing Yu: "I am accompanying the princess and the others, but I can't get away for a while.

 Let Aunt Wang and Second Sister go and receive them, and don't be rude to the guests. "

Qingyu bowed down and turned around to look for Gu Chengjuan.

“Princess, please come upstairs.” Gu Huayu led Princess Jinglian and others upstairs.

Princess Jinglian followed Gu Huayu to the second floor. The group was still on the stairs when the mother-in-law's voice came from the door. "Where's your boss? Ask her to come over and receive our young lady."

Princess Jinglian stopped and turned to look at the door, "Whose servant girl? So arrogant!"

Yang Jing replied: "I don't know. From the sound, I'm afraid they are looking for trouble."

Princess Jinglian looked at Gu Huayu and asked with a smile: "Have you just come to the capital and you have offended someone?"

Gu Huayu shook her head innocently, "A civilian woman doesn't know either."

Princess Jinglian smiled and consoled her: "Don't be nervous, I'm here." After saying that, Princess Jinglian walked downstairs and said, "Let's go over and have a look."

Gu Huayu thanked her and said, "Thank you, princess."

At the door, Gu Chengjuan said happily: "Aunty, please come inside. I am the owner of this shop. I wonder if there is anything I can help you with."

The mother-in-law looked Gu Chengjuan up and down and asked arrogantly: "Are you the boss?"

"Yes, I am the boss. I wonder if your lady wants gouache, rouge, or perfume? Your lady can try our gouache. Our gouache is very close to the skin. Using our gouache will prevent you from being showered in heavy rain. , the makeup will not be worn out.”

Gu Chengjuan glanced at Miss Wang San next to her mother-in-law and began to sell her in earnest.

 The skin of Mr. Wang's family is darker, with larger pores, and is a bit oily in hot weather.

Miss Wang San felt offended after hearing Gu Chengjuan's words, and said angrily: "You mean my skin is not good enough?"

 Gu Chengjuan was very confused when she saw that Miss Wang San was angry, "This lady, with all conscience, how can we, who run a store and do business, say that the customer's skin is not good enough?

I just say that my gouache is good and can make your skin better, miss.

I kindly recommended it to the lady, but why is the lady still angry? Didn’t the lady come to Huayu Pavilion to buy something? "

"Who are you? How can you open a shop and do business like this?" When the mother-in-law saw that her young lady was being contradicted, she hurriedly stepped forward to stand up.

“Sharp-tongued girl, who are you? How dare you be so rude to my young lady.”

Gu Chengjuan was not a good-tempered woman. After hearing what her mother-in-law said, she was so angry that she choked at her: "You are such a rude mother-in-law. I open the door for business. Shouldn't I introduce my goods to the guests?"

 Shouldn’t we make recommendations for guests based on their situation? How is this offensive? If this is considered offensive, then your young lady is too fragile, right? "

 The mother-in-law stuttered in anger, "You...you..."

Gu Chengjuan asked: "What's wrong with me? Everyone, listen, what did I say wrong?" As she said that, Gu Chengjuan turned to look at the onlookers.

People shook their heads one after another, "My boss is right."

The mother-in-law became angry and said, "Do you know whose house we belong to?"

Gu Chengjuan shook his head and said: "I don't know, and I don't need to know.

 In this precious land of Beijing, even if a tile fell from the sky, it would hit these two officials.

If we ask one by one, whose house this guest is from, and whose house that guest is from, my dear, how can I still do business? I stand at the door every day and bow my head.

 Doing business is a matter of mutual consent. What I buy is good and you like it. It just so happens that the price I offered is within your range, and you are willing to ask for money to buy it. In this way, we complete a transaction.

 You buy something and it feels good to use it and it suits your liking. Come and buy again after you're done. You became my repeat customer.

 Everyone who comes to our Huayu Pavilion, regardless of birth, is our distinguished guest. We will do our best to provide good service so that every guest can enjoy the best service.

Of course, except for those who deliberately cause trouble. "

The mother-in-law originally wanted to move out of her family to join the family, but Gu Chengjuan called her and blocked her words.

The mother-in-law wanted to say something else, but Miss Wang San stopped her and said, "Mother, let's go back."

After saying that, Miss Wang San turned around and walked out. Aunt Guan glared at Gu Chengjuan, then turned around and followed her out.

When Princess Jinglian saw Miss Wang San turning to leave, she was afraid that she would turn around and come looking for trouble, so she raised her voice and shouted, "Are you leaving as soon as Peiyun arrived?"

Hearing Princess Jinglian’s voice, the onlookers automatically moved out of the way.

Miss Wang San turned back to look at Princess Jinglian, and said politely: "Princess Jinglian is well."

Princess Jinglian said: "Why don't you come in?"

Miss Wang San leaned forward and said, "Back to Princess, Peiyun suddenly remembered that she had something else to do, so she didn't come in."

Princess Jinglian nodded and said, "You have to go and do some business first. Xiaoyu is my friend. When you have free time, come back for a walk."

I, the princess, will ensure that your visit is not a loss. The fragrance made by Xiaoyu is top-notch, and my mother-in-law likes it very much. "

Princess Jinglian not only moved out herself, but also moved out Concubine Li, which made Wang Peiyun feel very uncomfortable.

A few days ago, she overheard the conversation between the second aunt and her mother. Lu Liu did not agree to marry a country girl named Gu. For this reason, the British father also banned Lu Liu's feet.

The mother didn't believe it. The second aunt also said that the British government sent people to keep an eye on Lu Liu and her surnamed Gu Xianggu. Lu Liu also opened a rouge shop on Taoyuan Street for girls from the Gu family.

Wang Peiyun didn't believe it at first, so she sent people to Taoyuan Street to inquire about it. They found out that the owner of Huayuge Pavilion was named Gu. The situation was consistent with what the second aunt said. She was so angry that she couldn't eat or sleep for two days.

 She came here today just to spoil the fun.

Wang Peiyun did not expect that Gu Xiaoyu would actually hit up Princess Jinglian.

 On second thought, with Lu Liu helping to set up the connection, it would not be unusual for Gu Xiaoyu to hook up with Princess Jinglian.

Thinking like this, Wang Peiyun felt sour in her heart.

 “Okay, listen to the princess, Peiyun will come back to bother you some other time when she has time.”

Gu Chengjuan said happily: "Miss Wang San, please go slowly. Welcome to visit us next time."

Wang Peiyun glanced at Gu Chengjuan. She was pretty, but not a beauty. Why did Lu Liu fall in love with her? He also went to great lengths to open a shop for her.

Gu Chengjuan was inexplicably stared at by Wang Peiyun. She raised her hand and touched her face, and said to Wang Qin beside her: "Aunt Wang, this Miss Wang San seems to be very hostile to me."

Wang Qin nodded, "Well, I can see it too. It is indeed full of hostility."

Gu Chengjuan asked: "Why? I don't even know her, and I haven't offended her. Why is she so hostile to me?"

Wang Qin smiled meaningfully and did not accept Gu Chengjuan's words.

Wang Qin knew in her heart that Wang Peiyun mistook Gu Chengjuan for Gu Huayu. It was normal for her love rivals to be extremely jealous when they met.

Here, after Wang Peiyun left, Gu Huayu thanked Princess Jinglian: "Thank you, princess, for rescuing Xiaoyu."

Princess Jinglian looked at Gu Huayu and smiled, "Nothing, we just happened to meet each other, just a word."

Gu Huayu wrote down the favor of Princess Jinglian.

On this day, Gu Huayu was busy from morning to night, and did not leave the shop until the end of the day.

Qingyu said: "Miss, Qingzhu came here just now to report that Mr. Liu is waiting for Miss in Mingyue Pavilion. Qingzhu's car is parked at the door of Cao Ji."

 Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay, I understand. You slow down at the corner ahead and I'll get off there."

Qingyu nodded in agreement. "Okay, I understand."

 When Gu Huayu returned to Mingyue Pavilion, Liu Guang came over and said, "Miss, the Sixth Master is upstairs."

Gu Huayu nodded, "I understand, bring the food."

Liu Guang bowed and said, "Okay, do you want a drink?"

Gu Huayu's eyes lit up, "Let's have a pot."

Gu Huayu went up to the second floor, and Ruji stood at the door, leaning forward and saying, "Doctor Gu."

Gu Huayu looked at the house, pointed at the house, and asked in a low voice: "Master Liu is in the house?"

 Ruji nodded, "Yes."

Gu Huayu said: "Go down and meet Liu Guang and the others for a drink."

 Ruji smiled and bowed in response.

Gu Huayu pushed the door open and saw Lu Ziqin standing in front of the window looking across.

Seeing that he was looking attentively, Gu Huayu walked over and stood beside him, and asked sourly: "What are you thinking about? I didn't even know when I came in."

Lu Ziqin turned his head to look at Gu Huayu, and then looked to the opposite side, "Xiaoyu, look, someone is worshiping in your old house."

Gu Huayu has already seen and is looking at who is kneeling down.

　　It was already dark at this time, and in the dark ruins, the incense and candles were more conspicuous.

 “It’s him!” The person waiting to be worshiped raised his head, and Gu Huayu could see his face clearly.

 Lv Ziqin's eyesight was not as good as Hua Yu's and asked: "Do you know him? Who is it?"

Gu Huayu said: "The Wan family brother we met on the road to Fanlou last time who was beaten, why did he come here to worship? Just wait."

 Lv Ziqin turned around and asked, "Xiaoyu, where are you going?"

Gu Huayu replied: "I'll ask him."

“Wait, I’ll go with you.” Lu Ziqin turned around and followed.

Liu Guang and Ruji were sitting by the stairs talking. When they saw Lu Ziqin and Gu Huayu coming downstairs, they all stood up and said, "Master!" "Miss!"

Lu Ziqin laid his hands and said, "You take your seats while we go out."

Liu Guang and Ruji watched in surprise as they walked out of the door and sat down obediently.

Gu Huayu and Lu Ziqin came down from upstairs. When they entered the old house, they saw only burning incense and candles, but no sign of Wan Changrui.

Lu Ziqin said: "He has left?"

Gu Huayu looked around to make sure that the person had left, and said, "Probably, let's go, go back first."

When the two returned to Mingyue Pavilion, Gu Huayu said to Liu Guang, "Let Uncle Hua come see me."

 Liu Guang leaned forward and said, "Okay!"

Not long after Gu Huayu and Lu Ziqin went upstairs, Hua Da knocked on the door and said, "Miss, I'm here."

Gu Huayu replied: "Come in."

Hua Da opened the door and came in. After greeting him, he asked, "Miss Xun, what's wrong with me?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Uncle Hua, come and take a look."

Hua Da walked to the window, followed Gu Huayu's hand, and saw the candles still burning in the old house.

 “Someone comes to worship?” Hua Da asked.

Gu Huayu nodded, "Yes, the person worshiping is Wan Changrui from Wanfu. Why does he come here to worship? The Wan family is related to the Hua family?"

When Hua Da heard about Wanfu, he suddenly understood. He raised his hand and patted his head and said, "Wanfu is Madam's natal family. In these years, I have only been thinking about the affairs of the Hua family, but I have forgotten the affairs of the Wan family."

Gu Huayu looked at Hua Da and asked, "Mother's natal family?"

Hua Da nodded and said guiltily: "Yes, Madam's natal family. Madam's surname is Wan, and her name is Wan Hanru. After the incident that year, I was hunted down and did not bother to go to Wan's family to have a look. Later, when I came back, I also traced what happened back then. I didn’t go to Wanfu to see it.”

Gu Huayu pointed to the chair and said, "Uncle Hua, sit down. I don't blame you for this. This is my fault. I actually forgot to ask my relatives on my mother's side."

Gu Huayu poured a cup of tea for Hua Da and asked, "What day is it today? Why did Wan Changrui come to the old house to worship?"

Hua Da thought for a while and said, "Madam's birthday seems to be at the end of May."

 Gu Huayu nodded, "That's it. Let me prepare the things for worship, and I will go to worship later. Also, check the situation of Wanjia."

 The flowers are so big that I can't bear to do anything.

 After Hua Da left. Gu Huayu walked to the window again and looked across quietly.

Lu Ziqin walked up to Gu Huayu and asked, "Do you feel bad?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, I'm sorry for my mother, I actually forgot about her relatives."

Lu Ziqin raised his arms and put his arms around Gu Huayu's shoulders, comforting him: "Don't blame yourself, you have had a hard time these past few years. It's reasonable that you can't take care of it for a while."
