The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 19

"It's not good to have a large population and a large population." Seven Niangzi followed Wu Niangzi's words and sighed, "The Zhang family's population is considered simple, and there are still these things. What will happen to the Li family in the future? !"

"That's right." Wu Niangzi murmured to herself, "Our family only has brother Nine, but it's quiet. The cousins ​​seem to be easy to deal with. The Li family is now divided into several factions, and the internal fights are a bit outrageous. Now, Mrs. Li is such a delicate person, she fainted several times with anger, and her behavior gradually became messy."

The three little ladies fell silent again in unison.

In the final analysis, this small dispute of the Yang family is really not even qualified to be gossiped in front of other families.

"It's all other family's business, just talk about it, what to do in your heart." Wu Niangzi laughed to herself again, "It's no fun to sit all the time, let's see who goes to Jieyu Pavilion and calls a maid to come over and clean Siyi Pavilion , go to Siyiting to fight Shuanglu, and the eighth lady will come over later, so there is something for me."

Ba Niangzi is not in good health, she always has to take medicine after lunch, and even if she wants to go out to visit a few aunts, she has to wait until the afternoon to enter Baifang Garden.

The little ladies left the table to play again, and there were no maids by their side.

Fifth Lady and Sixth Lady turned their heads to stare at Seventh Lady at the same time.

Seventh Lady had no choice but to stand up, "Is there something wrong with my little sister? Okay, I'll go, I'll go."

Wu Niangzi laughed loudly, "Xiaoqi's words are so interesting, go quickly."

The sixth lady also pursed her lips and smiled, while whispering to the fifth lady, "Looking at Xiao Qi's face in the lawsuit, I will go to my wife and tell us that we don't care about her as a younger sister."

Although it was a whisper, the volume was not small.

Seventh Lady made a face at Sixth Lady, "You're so clever!"

While arguing with Liu Niangzi in the air, he went down the rockery, but he didn't pay attention. As soon as he turned out of the rockery, he collided with the people beside the rock.

"Ouch!" Seventh Lady couldn't help exclaiming softly.

"What's the matter, what's the matter!" Two little heads popped up on the rockery.

Seeing the situation clearly, he quickly shrank back.

"Brother Gui!" Seventh Lady had no place to hide, so she could only smile and salute, "I don't want to run into Brother Gui here."

Baifang Garden is such a big place, and the rockery is just behind the Eight Immortals. It is not surprising that Gui Hanchun appears here.

To put it bluntly, the young ladies were reckless, knowing that there were male guests at Jubaxian, they even went to play nearby.

Seventh Lady couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Gui Hanchun was also surprised.

"I ran into my sister." He blushed.

The stability in front of several wives has disappeared.

Qin Niangzi also became embarrassed, "Where, I shouldn't wander around, Brother Gui, please go ahead!"

She is not a fool.

The eldest wife had said long ago that the Gui family was interested in marrying the Yang family, and the wives had treated Gui Hanchun that way before.

Also kidding myself...

I can't guess what the old lady means.

Gui Hanchun has also been in Suzhou for a while, so he naturally has a channel to get news about the Yang family.

I heard that he and my second uncle are also getting close...

He must have guessed that the Yang family is optimistic about Seventh Lady.

When the two met, it was a little more embarrassing.

Gui Hanchun's complexion was already dark, but now his face was even more radiant.

His eyes, which were originally as lively as a little tiger, were also surprisingly bright. After glancing at Qin Niangzi, he lowered his head and moved out of the way.

Qin Niangzi is more generous than Gui Hanchun.

After all, Gui Hanchun has lived in the military for many years, and I am afraid that he rarely contacts the young ladies in the water villages in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the seventh lady has experienced the wind and sand in the desert and the silk and bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River.

She nodded her thanks to Gui Hanchun, ready to move forward.

Suddenly there was another low voice calling from the rockery.

"Seventh Sister."

It was Wu Niangzi's voice, which also showed some urgency.

Qin Niangzi had no choice but to turn around and enter the rockery again.

The fifth lady and the sixth lady are waiting behind the Taihu stone.

"Do you want to ask Brother Gui to avoid it?" Seventh Lady asked softly.

Gui Hanchun's people are all near the rockery, and it's human nature for the two little girls to be embarrassed to stay in the rockery.

But they are all over ten years old, and Wu Niangzi is already 12 years old, so it can be said that they are close.

I'm also ashamed to show my face in front of Gui Hanchun.

I'm afraid I want to ask myself to spread the word and let Gui Hanchun avoid it for a while.

Fifth Lady shook her head, but there was a guilty conscience on her face.

"I want to ask my cousin!" She looked at Qin Niangzi with a bit of pleading, "Brother Gui came from the northwest, so he must know about my cousin, and there is nowhere to ask people..."

Fifth Lady's face was full of calm concern.

Seventh Lady became troubled.

Although it seemed that he and Gui Hanchun should avoid suspicion, Wu Niangzi missed this opportunity, and it would be very difficult to find out about Xu Fengjia next time.

After all, she has reached the age of marriage, so it's not easy to ask around under the name of her cousin all day long.

But I am young, not yet at the age to avoid suspicion.

Besides, Wu Niangzi might feel a little uncomfortable in her heart...

Liu Niangzi also played the side drum, "You are still young anyway, it's nothing to say a few words to Brother Gui."

"I'm afraid Shixiong Gui has already left." Qin Niangzi had no choice but to give in reluctantly, "If you haven't left, I'll ask you again."

Just out of the rockery.

Unexpectedly, Gui Hanchun has not gone far, and is still looking around at the end of the corridor.

Qin Niangzi had no choice but to bite the bullet and greet her.

"Brother Gui." She greeted in a low voice, "I want to ask Brother Gui a few words!"

Gui Hanchun came back to his senses and suddenly realized.

Immediately, he felt a little more cramped, as if he didn't know how to place his hands and feet.

"Excuse me, please." He said politely.

Qin Niangzi was a little amused, so she glanced at the rockery again, and asked with a smile, "I heard that cousin Xu's family is also on the front line. You know, cousin and our fourth young master..."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "Similar brotherhood, my fourth brother has always missed my cousin, and always wanted to know if my cousin is safe. He is also very tender, so he dare not ask Shixiong Gui in person..."

Even though it was named after Brother Nine, just by looking at Qi Niangzi's performance, one could guess that she was sent by the young lady of the Yang family behind the rockery to inquire.

Gui Hanchun naturally wouldn't expose it.

"Oh! You mean Prince Pingguo, right?" He laughed, revealing the heartiness of a soldier, "The prince is fine. Hearing the news from the northwest, he seems to have led a team to fight the enemy. That's right. I'm very hungry, but I think the first batch of food and grass should soon arrive at the front line, and I won't be hungry for long."

Talking about his familiar military career, Gui Hanchun raised his eyebrows, his shyness faded away naturally, revealing the confidence and roughness of being a soldier, his face seemed to be shining.

"Speaking of which, Shizi's left-handed sword technique is really exquisite. I heard that I have only practiced it for a few years, and I haven't competed with him yet. On the contrary, my third brother has tried it with him. It is said that although the skill is still young, it is only for self-defense. It's enough." He laughed happily.

Qin Niangzi gasped slightly.

"Left-handed knife technique?" she murmured and repeated.

"Yes." Gui Hanchun looked longingly, "It is said that it is taught by a famous master in Cangzhou, and it will be used for self-defense by the son!"

While speaking, Gui Hanchun turned around and wanted to leave, "Just ask Shimei for advice on how to go back to gather the Eight Immortals."

He was slightly embarrassed again, "It's the first time I entered such a garden, it's funny, but I got lost!"

Qin Niangzi hurriedly collected her thoughts, "Brother Shi, please, I just go inside...you can go along the way for a while."

I couldn't help asking again, "Hungry... are you very hungry?"

She was distracted, so she stopped on the corridor casually, fiddled with the golden door of the small ivory birdcage.

The lark inside pecked and pecked, dancing with Qin Niangzi's fingers.

Gui Hanchun stopped and replied, "It's quite powerful! The Duke of Pingguo governs the army strictly, and soldiers are not allowed to loot the people. In fact, our food and grass are very tight in the twelfth lunar month."

A shadow passed across his face, and at this moment, he seemed to be back on the battlefield of gold and iron horses and iron blood and yellow sand.

"It's also thanks to Pingguo Gong's rigorous military administration, otherwise, our rich households in Shaanxi will suffer." Gui Hanchun said softly, "Even so, the Yang and Gui clans were still tight last year, holding money I can't even buy food, and I heard that people in Yangjia Village starved to death... There are also some starving starved soldiers in our camp..."

Seventh Lady was shocked again.

I only heard that there was a shortage of food in the northwest, but I didn't expect that people were starving to death!

Then Xu Fengjia... a relative in Yang's village...

Before she knew it, her fingers sank.

The golden gate opened wide immediately, and the lark flew out, but it crashed straight into Qin Niangzi's delicate face.
