famous eldest daughter

Chapter 434 Questioning
Gu Yuqing listened to Zhou Bingde's words. He said everything she wanted to say without missing a single sentence. He looked at Zhou Bingde deeply and said, "I'm going out today. Do you have anything else to say?" I said."

But she didn't mention the money matter at all, let alone answered Zhou Bingde's question. Moreover, her question was general and had no certain scope.

When Zhou Bingde heard the words, he thought for a moment, pursed his lips into a thin line, and hesitated several times. Finally, he took a breath and said: "I'm going to Yulan Pavilion today. I'm in the backyard, listening to the conversation of the grooms from various mansions. It’s nothing serious, but from what the groom at General Gongsun’s residence said, it seems that General Gongsun intends to betroth the second young lady in his residence to the royal prince.”

At present, apart from Xiao Yi, the only prince of marriageable age is Xiao Yu.

The story of Xiao Yu and Gu Yuqing was rumored in the streets and alleys, and even Zhou Bingde knew the story well, so he chose this one to report.

When Gu Yuqing heard this, he was only slightly startled and not surprised.

In her previous life, Gongsun Qi was married to Xiao Yi as his concubine. She didn't know what their relationship was like, but she did know that Gongsun Qi was frightened on the eve of delivery due to the abnormal position of her first child and died of dystocia.

Half a year after her death, Xiao Yi married another daughter-in-law of the Minister of Etiquette. The wedding was done with great splendor and the momentum of an imperial marriage.

Regarding these two people, Gu Yuqing didn't want to recall too much, so she restrained her thoughts and said to Zhou Bingde: "Just keep the money. When I'm not going out, you have nothing to do with the servants in other mansions. If you can talk to Zhou Bingde, It’s best if the butler strikes up a conversation.”

When Zhou Bingde heard Gu Yuqing's words, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

His guess was actually right!
Excited, the imposing seven-foot man couldn't help trembling his fingers slightly.

Gu Yuqing glanced at him, and continued to say: "Besides, in the mansion, you have to learn more, watch more, and ask more questions from the housekeeper. As for whether he is willing to teach you, it is up to you. I won't go there. Another way to say hello.”

"Your guess is correct. I intend to give you the opportunity, but whether you can seize it depends on your ability. As for the silver, this is nearly 1000 taels. If you use it properly, it will be enough for you to use until the New Year. It is not a problem. "

Zhou Bingde immediately bowed and said, "I would like to thank you for your kindness."

At this point, he has said the word "slave" very naturally.

Zhou Bingde was about to leave when Gu Yuqing suddenly remembered something, and said again: "Today in the backyard of Yulan Pavilion, who do you talk to the most?"

Zhou Bingde was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Someone came forward to greet me, but the slave was clumsy. He could only say a few words and didn't have much to say. Besides, the slave just came to Beijing and didn't know much about anything. If he said too much, he would be wrong. It's better not to say anything. , so I sat silently on one side and listened, without talking to anyone."

When Gu Yuqing heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes, he raised his hand and waved slightly, and Zhou Bingde resigned.

He had only been in Beijing for a day. If he had rashly talked to those grooms today, those people were all carefully selected from each mansion, and he would be lured in with just a few words.

When Zhou Bingde left, Jixiang immediately bent down and came to Gu Yuqing, with crooked eyebrows and a thief smile, "Miss, you don't want Zhou Bingde to be the steward, right? The steward of our house. , when you leave the cabinet, you will naturally leave it to the Marquis, so why don’t you train Zhou Bingde in advance now?"

As he said that, Ji Xiang smiled mischievously, "I don't know how His Highness the Fourth Prince will feel when he learns that you have made plans now."

Hearing her joke, Gu Yuqing immediately glanced at her, raised his hand and slapped her head on the stone table, "It's getting smaller and smaller."

Among the words, it is the default.

Ruyi came to the other side of Gu Yuqing and faced Ji Xiang, "Miss, why did you choose Zhou Bingde?"

Gu Yuqing sighed in her heart, could she tell Ji Xiang Ruyi that she chose Zhou Bingde not only because of his kindness in the previous life, but also because of his ability in the previous life!
In the last life... I'm afraid that these two little maids will be frightened to death as soon as these words are spoken.

He just pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't answer.

All the criminals involved in this case have been brought to justice. In the next three or two days, Xiao Yi used his thunderous methods to completely clean up the matter. , and also taking into account the recovery work after the flash flood, but it is methodical and everything is done neatly.

Xiao Duo fell, and everyone in the court praised him incessantly. The whole court was almost one-sided like never before.

No wonder the courtiers are like this.

Among the emperor's princes, only Xiao Yi and Xiao Yu are currently old enough to be established as princes. Among the rest, the oldest one, the ninth prince Xiao Ke, is only ten years old.

And Xiao Yu... was famous for not learning anything and not seeking to make progress. He just walked around all day long. Who would place a bet on him?

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty almost believed that Xiao Yi was the perfect candidate for the new emperor.

In such an atmosphere, Xiao Yi himself even felt somewhat ambitious and hesitant.

On this day, all the affairs had been taken care of, and Xiao Yi invited Luo Zhisong to talk in the study.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and it is already late autumn. Luo Zhisong is already thin, and he can't help but wear thick clothes at this moment. However, the color remains the same as before. The azure blue robe is straight, as if it is fixed on his body, and Years didn't seem to change his exceptionally pale face, and the mist in his eyes seemed to be getting thicker, making it harder for people to see his expression clearly.

Xiao Yi has long been accustomed to Luo Zhisong like this.

Holding a teacup made of blood-red agate, he said with a smile that was sure to win: "Sir, do you think this king should marry a princess?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhisong's eyelashes fluttered slightly, "Your Highness already has a candidate?"

His eyes fell on the blood-red tea cup in Xiao Yi's hand. The mist in his eyes seemed to be swept by a whirlwind, surging and stirring. The hand lying on the armrest trembled unconsciously for a few times, then calmed down again. Only the warmth of the fingertips, It can never go back up again.

"Sir, do you think Gu Yuqing from Chinanhou Mansion is worthy of me?" He brought the teacup in his hand to his mouth, took a sip and said.

The voice is casual.

Luo Zhisong frowned slightly, "Miss Gu from the Chinan Marquis Mansion is rumored in the streets and alleys that she is going to marry His Highness the Fourth Prince. His Highness personally inserted the hairpin into her head."

When Xiao Yi heard this, his face was full of disdain, and he sneered, "Just him? If you marry Gu Yuqing and go back, you won't ruin the reputation and strength of the Chinan Hou Mansion!"

Lintel...strength...

Taking a breath, Luo Zhisong looked at Xiao Yi's face and said, "His Highness has taken a fancy to Gu Yuqing?"
