Gu Erbai's Pastoral Life

Chapter 389

No wonder I always wanted to sneeze all the way here, and forgot her in the tree. That girl's mouth is so poisonous, she probably could scold herself to death.

Qiang'er was taken aback when she heard the order, then looked at the old lady curiously.

Just now there were rumors in the mansion that Madam would wait for Xiao Yan to fall and die by herself, why did this attitude turn around 180 degrees all of a sudden?Could it be that she didn't catch it? What's the other meaning?
"What are you still doing in a daze? Go quickly."

The old lady's face remained the same, she just yelled at her who was stunned.

Qiang'er nodded sharply, and didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and sent someone to take the escalator and head towards the waterside garden.

On the tall sycamore tree at the entrance of the Waterside Garden, Xiao Yan, whose two noses were about to freeze due to the cold, sobbed and burst into tears when she saw the tall wooden ladder.

The lady has a bit of conscience.

After Gu Erbai took his seat, the old lady opened the lid of a cup of soup, and the aroma of scallops and winter melon overflowed immediately.

"My dear daughter-in-law, I heard from Liu Yan yesterday that Qing'er's child is neither serious nor serious. He played too late in Wenyuan and tired you. Now that he wakes up, his mind is still comfortable? Would you like to have a drink first?" A cup of soup to relieve fatigue?"

"Oh~ it's all right."

Gu Erbai groaned softly, with a smile on his face, playing too late and tired...why does it sound so ambiguous?The old lady must have misunderstood something.

So, in order to avoid talking about such an embarrassing thing, she tactfully changed the subject.

"Mother, do you know what happened in the capital of Rong'an? Why did the emperor and empress leave in such a hurry? They didn't wait for dawn."

No, when the little girl spoke, the old lady was stunned. She opened the lid of the soup cup and looked at her with a puzzled look on her face, "Dear daughter-in-law, did you just say... the emperor has returned to the city?"

"You, don't know?"

Seeing her confused face, Gu Erbai realized something was wrong when she asked.

Originally, they left in such a haste today, and picked on the days when Uncle Qing was not in the mansion, and didn't even tell herself, she already felt very strange.

Now it seems that he didn't even say hello to the old lady.

What the hell?What's the hurry?

"You read that right?"

Gu Erbai frowned, "How come, the royal guard of honor is as long as a dragon, and it is heading east with great momentum."

"Ouch~"

The old lady saw that what she said was serious, and she didn't look like she was joking, so she quickly turned around and told the servants, "Wei'er, please go and call Liu Yan over, could it be that something urgent happened in the court? Jiacheng's trip has delayed state affairs, if something happens, we should send Qing'er back quickly."

Wei'er heard the words, nodded hurriedly, turned around and was about to go out.

In a hurry, Gu Erbai quickly called to stop her.

Butler Liu was helping her prepare the medicine for feigning death at this time, and it was all his fault that he dug the hole by talking too much.

"Well, don't go, just now when the empress left, she told me that she had greeted the host.

Mother, why don't you wait for the host to come back at night, and ask again, since the emperor hasn't said goodbye to you, housekeeper Liu probably doesn't know. "

"That's right. Liu Yan stayed with me all day and didn't mention this matter."

The old lady felt that it was reasonable, so she nodded.

After reacting for a while, she thought that she had just mentioned that Qing'er would come back at night, so she felt ashamed, so she tightened her hands tightly, "My dear daughter-in-law, tell Qing'er to go and have a look, she hasn't come back yet, It's not like his style, maybe it's because you're involved in business again, you..."

Before the old lady finished speaking, Gu Erbai knew that she was afraid that she would feel jealous because of Uncle Qing's visit to Wanyun in Wanjia Yizhuang, so she explained it, smiled sensiblely, and followed her words .

"It's okay, Uncle Qing has indeed delayed so much business during this time, and it should be my fault that I'm busy now, so I don't dare to complain.

Let's not talk, mother, let's eat first, I've been hungry all day. "

Seeing that she was so sensible and kind, the old lady couldn't help showing a comfortable smile, and ordered people to serve dinner.

"Look at me, I'm so confused, I called you to eat but I talked a lot of nonsense, the food is getting cold, eat quickly..."

Gu Erbai nodded, picked up his rice bowl, so as not to speak while eating.

The old lady looked at her peaceful side face, thinking that she was not like this usually, and felt that she still cared. After all, when the husband went to see other women, he whispered in her ear while Wei Er poured tea. Go to Wanjia to find out the news, why not come back now.

Gu Erbai raised his eyelids and took a look at her movement, feeling a little baffled.

In fact, the old lady really misunderstood her, she just guessed what kind of habit the well-wishers have of "not talking when eating, not talking when sleeping", so she held back and said nothing.

Holding back halfway, he remembered that he had something to say and said it out loud.

"Mother, I want to visit Qing's house tomorrow."

"Oh……"

The voice on the other end pondered for a while, and readily agreed, "Go, you should go, and mother will go with you."

Gu Erbai raised his head and smiled and refused, "No need, if you go, Auntie will surely forgive me for your face, I'd better go by myself and be more sincere, and I'll feel at ease when I get married."

"Okay, then let Qing'er accompany you."

"..."

There is still no difference, but Uncle Qing is much more fooled.

After eating a meal for half an hour, the voice of the conversation went from lively at the beginning to the end, and it also cooled down along with the food.

In the night sky, the north wind howled, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, but the man hadn't come back yet, even when Wei Er came in to report, she shook her head.

Even though Gu Erbai's complexion looked the same, the old lady's complexion turned livid.

Qing'er is becoming more and more ignorant.

……

After the meal, Gu Erbai chatted with the old lady for a while, and said a few jokes, which coaxed the old lady from ear to ear, and after a while, the old man was exhausted and fell asleep.

Qiang'er Wei'er came over to wait for Mu Jia to wash up, and then asked Gu Erbai respectfully, "Madam, it's late at night, do you want to return to the Waterside Garden or Gan Yi Zhai?"

Gu Erbai sat quietly in front of the bed, looking at the dark night outside the flower window with his closed eyes, and said softly, "Where does Shuifu live?"

"Yuchuntang Xia Renyuan." As if afraid that she would not know, he added a sentence specially, "It is adjacent to Sister Taozi."

Just right.

Gu Erbai got up, narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "I heard that Taozi is sick, so I'll go visit her."

"Here."

Second Attendant Qiangwei opened the door, ready to send her there, unexpectedly there was already Xiao Yan waiting outside with her face flushed from the cold.

The two thought it was Mrs. Xiang's mistake, so they didn't say much.

Gu Erbai looked sideways at the second sister Qiangwei, carefully scrutinized her thin monkey-like appearance, and raised his eyebrows, "Do you know how to wear more?"

Xiao Yan sniffed her nose, "If you wear too much, you will look bloated, which is not good-looking."

"..."

Gu Erbai suddenly felt like an old woman urging her daughter to wear long johns.

"Stay here and take care of the old lady, Xiaoyan will take me there."

Gu Erbai turned around and ordered, then rubbed Xiaoyan's hands and walked outside.

"Here."

The two Qiangwei sisters responded, rubbed their eyes, and stared at the backs of Madam and Xiaoyan strangely for a long time, looking at each other strangely.

what happened?Didn't it say that Xiaoyan angered Madam and was beaten by Madam for two miles?Why do you look at it now, the relationship is quite familiar and harmonious?
What kind of unjust, false and disordered news did Sister Shuifu spread?
Along the promenade of Liyuan, the two walked towards the courtyard of Yuchun Hall.

A little farther away from Liyuan, Xiao Yan whispered.

"Butler Liu has just ordered the kitchen staff to go to the gate of the house with the meals, and I believe it will only take a quarter of an hour."

"Where is Shuifu now?"

"Should boil hot water in the water room, and bring it up to warm the prince's hands after a while. This is what she usually does every day."

Gu Erbai nodded, and smiled with his lips curled up, "Okay, the combination of the two is just right."

Xiaoyan smugly raised her voice, "That's right, Xiaoyan is up to you."

Gu Erbai glanced at the complacent woman with a smile on his face, and seeing that she was so pitifully cold, he wanted to take off the cloak that the old lady gave her just now and wrap it around her.

No, Xiaoyan sniffed her nose, and refused righteously, "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. I'm going to pass the woodshed soon, and I'll suffer again."

"?"

Gu Erbai was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask her why she had to be tortured when she passed the woodshed, and whether she wanted to go in to warm up.

Over here, a lean, tall, upright man dressed in indigo came out holding a bundle of firewood.

The lantern above the head was dangling, but judging from the decoration and figure, it should be a guard who was punished to chop firewood in the woodshed.

Xiaoyan next to her immediately didn't even know how to walk, she slightly turned to Gu Erbai, twisted her body, her face was flushed, her cheeks glowed, and she was holding a piece of Qinghe kerchief in her hand, flaunting it intentionally or unintentionally. .

　Erbai: Seems like where is Dad?

　　Host: Good boy, call again.
