Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 36 Before the Storm

"Brother Zhong, I'm sorry to trouble you, but please send a message to Steward Fu, saying that I'm still waiting for him at the old place this afternoon, and I have something to say to him..."

Sending Gu Zhong away, Lu Luo was holding the pouch in her sleeve pocket and wearing the silver earrings, her face was full of smiles.

It seems that what sister Mei Xiang said is true, Steward Fu is really rich, and although the small gifts given by her in the past three days are not particularly expensive, they are also good things that she has never seen before.If you wait for her later...

Pursing her lips and smiling, Luluo's hand slipped down to caress her lower abdomen, her expression became softer.

"Sister Luluo..."

She was so engrossed in thinking that she didn't wake up until someone called her.

Seeing the person coming, Luluo straightened her face, smiled and nodded, "Hua'er, are you going to run errands for the girl in Caiyi?"

"That's right! Sister Luluo is also running errands?" Gu Sixiao looked away, and said with a faint smile: "I seemed to be looking at someone else just now, who is Sister Luluo talking to?"

"No, where is it, you read it wrong..." The smile on Lu Luo's face froze, concealing her misunderstanding, "Speaking of which, the girl in Caiyi in your courtyard has been amazing for more than a month, listen Said that even the lady said that she wanted the kitchen to take good care of her!"

"Yes," she replied, and Gu Sixiao glanced at Lu Luo's still-flat belly intentionally or unintentionally.

"Since the doctor's pulse diagnosis a few days ago and found out that Sister Caiyi is pregnant, the officials have treated her better—I heard that men are extremely kind to women who are pregnant with their own children!"

Seeing Lu Luo lowering her head and unconsciously stroking her belly, Gu Sixiao couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

Really? !
Although she didn't really see it, she has been paying close attention to Luluo's movements.I also know that in the past two months, Lu Luo and Gu Fu have gotten closer and closer.

Thinking about the medicine she dropped on the ground on purpose, she deduced early on that Lu Luo had probably made a good deal with Gu Fu.In the past few days, no matter how I look at it, Luluo seems to be pregnant.

What a coincidence!That Caiyi was only pregnant, and this green radish was also pregnant.

The Gu family really has good feng shui, which is good for pregnancy!
Secretly amused, Gu Sixiao and Luluo were chatting one after another, but she was thinking in her heart how to subtly let Chunhua know the news.

If this matter breaks out, there will be a good show...

"Hua'er, what are you thinking about?"

Unexpectedly, a soft pillow was thrown over, Gu Sixiao covered her head, not daring to complain, just lowered her head, picked up the soft pillow, and sent it back to the couch.

Gazing at her, Caiyi snorted, "I won't say anymore, I want to inlay the collar and cuffs of this dress with gold trim! How do the people in the sewing room do it? You take it back and ask them to dismantle the heavy Do."

"Sister Caiyi——no, girl, go trouble the sister-in-law in the sewing room again, lest they will scold you..."

Before Gu Sixiao finished speaking, Caiyi raised her eyebrows and scolded: "Just say you are useless! What are you afraid of them? Do you still think we are the little girls from the past? Take it, if they don't change it for me, I will Let the officials sell them—”

Caressing her lower abdomen, Caiyi deliberately puffed her belly out, "I'm no better than before, I'm a little gentleman in my stomach!"

"Well, I see." Gu Sixiao responded, looked at Caiyi, and reminded in a low voice: "Girl Caiyi, I heard that the lady said to let the kitchen wait for you, and let them cook whatever you want." Bring it over!"

"Of course, the officials value this child so much, so she naturally has to be careful."

Seeing Caiyi's proud look, Gu Sixiao's eyes twitched.

This is a villain's face!I really don't know, how can Caiyi, who is very clever in seducing men, be so stupid in this kind of thing?

"That," after pondering for a moment, Gu Sixiao boasted with a smile: "You are also a girl, you are lucky. Look, Aunt Feng and Aunt Liu are not blessed. They have been with the official for so many years, but they have not given birth to a boy and a half for the official. female."

"You don't know that. Aunt Feng gave birth to a son before, but she died of illness before her first birthday. What about Aunt Liu! She had a miscarriage before she was born..."

There was a pause in the voice, and Caiyi, who was still showing off that she knew everything, blinked, the more she thought about it, the more unpleasant it became.

"One was born to die, and the other was never born at all——Could it be that Mrs. Zhang harmed them?!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Sixiao stupidly, and Gu Sixiao also covered her mouth with a frightened expression.

"No, can't you? The lady is really that--this is the child of an official, and his surname is Gu..."

"What do you know! The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart. Mrs. Zhang has long since fallen out of favor. She is afraid that other women will give birth to children and compete for the family property. It is reasonable to kill her..."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed the truth of the matter, Caiyi was both afraid and panicked.

"What should I do? The child in my stomach cannot be harmed by her. I, I am all pointing at this child! The official said that when I give birth to a child, I will be taken as a concubine..."

Caiyi was in a hurry, and scolded the two people in Muchun Courtyard, "It's really useless! Someone killed the child, so you just squinted so honestly! Why didn't you fight with the old woman?!"

Grabbing Gu Sixiao's hand suddenly, Caiyi hurriedly said: "Hua'er, I can't eat the food from the big kitchen anymore! Yes, I can't eat it. Who knows if they poisoned the food? The poison The woman is so ruthless, and she said that the big kitchen is waiting for me. This is deliberately trying to kill me and the child! Yes, when the official came, I told the official that I wanted to open a small stove in the back study. Let you cook for me—well, even the food is bought by you, I can't trust others..."

This is really treating her as a loyal servant, someone who can be trusted! ?
It's a little funny, but Gu Sixiao is quite serious on the surface, "Okay, girl, I will do what you say, and I will definitely protect you and Xiao Langjun!"

Caiyi heaved a sigh of relief, she really didn't dare to eat the food delivered by the big kitchen after that.

"I'd rather be hungry all day, you take it and eat it! Well, aren't you and the old man in the bamboo forest, why don't you take it for him to eat!"

Gu Sixiao didn't give in, she really took the food box and went to the bamboo forest.

The sky was gloomy, and the cold wind blowing on the face was a little damp.

Winter in the south of the Yangtze River is always so gloomy and cold, soaking into the bones.

Before reaching the bamboo forest, the rain had already started, and gradually, there were thin snowflakes falling down. Although it turned into water as soon as it landed, it still made Gu Sixiao stop and stare dumbfounded.

This is the first snow this winter. I heard people say that when the first snow falls, old friends from far away will return...

The person she misses will probably never return to this sad place, right?
I don't know, are they all right?

Sister-in-law, brother Jing, are you all right? !
Far away, I heard the sound of scolding in the bamboo forest.

Stop and listen carefully, but within a few words, Gu Sixiao already recognized that it was Gu Fu's voice.

I don't know if it's because in the current Gu mansion, Grandpa Shitou is the only one who knows the details of Gu Fu's past. Gu Fu hates Grandpa Shitou surprisingly.

It's only late autumn, and the big kitchen has started to neglect and skimp again, and now it's even coming here every few days to scold.If he didn't have the right to drive Grandpa Shit away, he would have driven him out of Gu's house long ago.

"Old man, it's already winter, who needs your broken fan! With your virtue, you can make a fan, what else can you do?"

Walking into the bamboo forest, Gu Sixiao pretended not to hear Gu Fu's scolding, walked straight to Gu Shitou, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Shitou, Miss Caiyi said that she has a bad appetite, and I will give you all the food... ..."

Looking up, she saw the servant standing behind Gu Fu, her eyes narrowed slightly. This Gu Zhong was the one who talked to Lu Luo in the morning.

Gu Fu went into the garden at this time to teach Grandpa Shitou a lesson—this is to create opportunities for him to enter the garden for a tryst? !

Could it be that every time he came to teach Grandpa Shitou a lesson, he was just making excuses? !
Suspicion in his heart, but not on the face, Gu Sixiao just looked at Gu Zhong, smiled and said: "Hey, brother, I saw this morning! You don't remember? Didn't you talk to Sister Luluo in the morning?" ?”

Gu Zhong's expression changed, and he didn't know how to answer, he was vague for a long time without saying a whole sentence.

Gu Fu narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Sixiao, but shouted at Gu Shitou: "Gu Shitou, take care of yourself! Our Gu family does not support idlers..."

Before leaving, Gu Fu stared at Gu Sixiao twice.

This little girl is not pleasing to the eye no matter how much she looks at her, she should find a chance to make a mistake later and let the lady sell this girl!
"Huaer," Gu Shitou looked at Gu Sixiao worriedly after seeing Gu Fu walking away.

"It's said that you don't care about these things. He scolded him, so why don't you pay attention to him? If he interrupts like this, he must hate you. Maybe he will find your fault anytime soon!"

"I'm not afraid that he will make a mistake! He just wants to find it, and he probably doesn't have the time and energy—Master, you eat first, I have something else to do, let's go first..."

Instead of going back to the back study, Gu Sixiao quickly ran out of the back garden, and ran directly to Xu's mother's yard. When she saw Mei Xiang, she pulled her to cry, "Sister Mei Xiang, how can this be good? Our Caiyi girl today He wanted to walk around in the back garden, but he was frightened by a kid, and now he says his stomach hurts!"

Mei Xiang was also taken aback, and hurriedly replied to Xu's mother, but Xu's mother was unhurried, "It's just a girl who is pregnant with a child, what's the matter, it's fine, don't stay in the house, run to the garden Wandering around, even if she slipped a tire, she asked for it—by the way, what kind of kid? Where did this kid come from?"

"It's Gu Zhong who is next to Steward Fu!" Mei Xiang replied, then frowned and said, "I heard that he was arguing with Luluo, and he was angry and in a bad mood, so he bumped into Caiyi..."

"Arguing with Luluo?!" Xu's mother's eyes flickered, "Is this what Huaer said? The more the girl looked at it, the more she felt blind. Maybe she missed it? How could Gu Zhong be arguing with Luluo?"

Sitting up straight suddenly, Mother Xu asked in a deep voice: "Housekeeper Fu also entered the back house together? Well, Mei Xiang, I'm fine now, so you can go play with Lan Xiang in the main courtyard! Tell me about it." It's fun today..."

Mei Xiang was startled for a moment, and then came to her senses.Nodding, she turned around and looked back, "Mom, do you want to invite a doctor to the back study?"

"What kind of doctor! Wait until the pain is unbearable, let's talk..." Mother Xu didn't care about it while holding the teacup.

She doesn't dare to meddle in what the lady wants to do. In this house, the lady is the biggest...
