Chapter 13
When Gu Yuyao heard Chen tell him to take Gu Qingzhu, her eyes moved, but she immediately reacted and enthusiastically held Gu Qingzhu's hand:
"It's best to be with my elder sister."
Several girls bowed and left Songhe Garden.
The reason they wanted to come out was because Song Jinru and Qi Xiuzhi said they wanted to go to the embroidery room to see the new style. Gu Yuyao was the host's guest. Now there were more Gu Qingzhu. The group of four walked on the street, followed by a few mothers behind them. It was quite eye-catching wherever they went. Everyone knew that they were the ladies of wealthy families.
The three of them got together and talked and laughed. Gu Yuyao's embroidery skills were good and he had a lot of talk with Song Jinru and Qi Xiuzhi. Gu Qingzhu was not very interested and looked at the scenery of Chang'an Street in a daze.
Hongqu whispered to Gu Qingzhu: "Miss, I heard that the Wu'an Hou Mansion is very powerful. Look at the third lady, and the cousin, so why don't you go up and talk to them?"
Gu Qingzhu smiled and said, "The Wu'an Marquis Mansion is indeed amazing, but... I can't embroider."
This is true. Anything that Gu Qingzhu learned is very ordinary in embroidery skills.
Hongqu was so sorry for his iron: "Oh, Miss, you must know how to embroider, no matter where you are..."
Before Hongqu finished speaking, Gu Qingzhu interrupted and asked, "By the way, has the Zhang family arranged it?"
"You said that the Zhuangtou family is a family. The Zhuangtou had his job more than ten days ago and the family went to the city. As you told me, I arranged to be the shopkeeper in the calligraphy and painting shop on Zhuque Old Street." Although Hongqu was gossipy, he still did things very quickly.
Gu Qingzhu nodded and did not ask again.
The Zhang family is a loyal servant. In the last life, she ordered the family as a companion room until she got married. She was very loyal to her from top to bottom and could do things. Especially Zhang Rong, who handled common affairs and walked with ease. The housekeeper Zhang of the Wu'an Hou Mansion Office was considered the number one person back then; his wife Fang Ruyi was the housekeeper's wife beside Gu Qingzhu, and she was also a powerful character.
The day before Gu Qingzhu came back from the village, he told Lao Zhang's family about coming to the city to be a shopkeeper. The calligraphy and painting shop on Zhuque Old Street was given to Gu Qingzhu when Shen was still there, which was Gu Qingzhu's own shop. The calligraphy and painting shop had no investment, but it had a significant effect.
Gu Yuyao and Song Jinru were about to enter the embroidery building. Seeing Gu Qingzhu still wandering behind, she had no choice but to look at each other. Song Jinru accompanied Qi Xiuzhi, Gu Yuyao turned around and called her: "Sister, go faster, this is the place."
Gu Qingzhu saw Gu Yuyao standing on the steps of the embroidery building and calling her. The material on her clothes looked quite plain, but there were five or six colorful colors in the sun. It was actually a colorful Jin worth a thousand taels. This Jin silk was made by a southern merchant. The silk thread was extremely thin and the colors needed. The embroiderer only embroidered a few layers. The silk thread was difficult to embroider, and the craftsmanship was complicated. The merchants were very popular and sold very expensively.
"You guys go in, I'll take a walk on the street." After Gu Qingzhu approached, she replied to Gu Yuyao like this.
Seeing Gu Yuyao's embroidered eyebrows move, he was secretly happy and nodded: "Sister doesn't like embroidery, so don't force it. We will pick it out later, so don't go far."
After saying that, he turned around and surrounded Song Jinru and Qi Xiuzhi into the embroidery building. When he entered the door, Gu Qingzhu and Hongqu heard Qi Xiuzhi ask: "It's really hard to get close to your eldest lady in your house."
Gu Yuyao sighed helplessly. Although she didn't say anything, she was silent and louder. Song Jinru echoed: "Oh, she is just like that. Don't worry about her, we will pick us."
The three of them did not care about Qingzhu and stepped into the threshold of the embroidery building under the greeting embroidery lady.
Hongqu was a little angry: "Miss, why are they doing this?"
Even the maid saw that the lady from home was criticized, but Gu Qingzhu seemed to have not heard it, put her hands into her sleeves and walked away calmly. Hongqu was afraid that the lady would feel uncomfortable if she said too much, so she could only secretly feel sorry for the lady.
Gu Qingzhu was walking on the street, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He came to a weapon shop called Yidao Hall. It was not the kind of place that sells ordinary big swords and swords, but rather the more exquisite items used for decoration, or gold and silver, polishing jade, or inlaid with pearls and gems. In short, how it looks good, it will come.
After entering, Gu Qingzhu drew the knife he wanted to the shopkeeper behind the counter on the spot. He paid a deposit of 30% before coming out. Hongqu didn't understand what his lady was doing in such a weapon shop. Before he could ask, Gu Qingzhu walked down the steps and chased a maid, which was the faint fragrance beside Gu Yuyao, and bowed to Gu Qingzhu and said:
"The eldest lady made it easy to find me. It was here. The third lady, the cousin and the fourth lady of the Qi family were having tea in Qingfeng Pavilion, and asked the servants to come out to find the eldest lady to go with them."
Before Gu Qingzhu could speak, Hongqu spoke: "Why didn't Miss Three ask you to come in advance? Qingfeng Pavilion is on the corner of the street, and there is a little road away from here. My lady rushed over, but I'm afraid they'll all finish the tea."
Anxiang laughed and said that she was following the lady's instructions and didn't know the situation. Hongqu still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Gu Qingzhu: "Let's lead the way."
Anxiang compared Gu Qingzhu a "please" and led the way. Although she knew it would be late, Gu Qingzhu was not in a hurry and still walked around and took a look. She was extremely leisurely.
Qingfeng Pavilion is the best teahouse in the city. It is a relatively high-end gathering place for literati and poets. It has three floors high and the atmosphere is magnificent.
Gu Yuyao and the others were on the second floor. When Gu Qingzhu went there, he found that there were three teenagers on their table, a little girl close to Song Jinru. Although the people of Xiao Country are not as open as those of Hu people, they do not have the rules of different seats for men and women at the age of seven. It is nothing strange that they sit down and chat and drink tea openly.
Anxiang ran over to report Gu Yuyao to Gu Qingzhu, and a table looked at Gu Qingzhu who had just gone upstairs. Gu Qingzhu walked by indifferently. Gu Yuyao pulled her down intimately: "Where did the eldest sister go? We have looked for you around but couldn't find it."
Gu Qingzhu smiled and responded. After walking for a while, he was indeed a little thirsty. He reached out to get the teapot on the table, but saw that the teapot was picked up by another person. Gu Qingzhu looked up at him. He was a handsome young man from a noble family with a familiar face, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Gu Qingzhu knew the one beside him, respecting He Pingzhou, the second son of the Hou Mansion, and Gu Yuyao's husband in his previous life, there was no difference from his memory. He was gentle and had a smile on his lips. Seeing Gu Qingzhu looking at him, He Pingzhou closed the folding fan and bowed to Gu Qingzhu. Gu Qingzhu nodded and returned the greeting. He saw that there was a chubby young man next to him.
"Big Cousin, this is my uncle's cousin Song Xincheng, cousin Luo Xiuer, and the other two are two friends of my cousin. They respect the eldest and second sons of the Marquis's Mansion. They happened to meet here, so they sat down at a table."
Song Jinru introduced Gu Qingzhu like this. Gu Qingzhu swept over He Pingzhou and his brother He Shaojing. He remembered that he was in the clinic that respected the Marquis's mansion and came to pick up people. When he thought of the clinic, he remembered who this person was, the boy who sent the injured to Ren'entang that day.
"Even if my cousin orders what I like, it's all my cousin. Is it my cousin?" Song Jinru said coquettishly to the honest boy beside him, and the fat boy nodded shyly.
The Rong'an Marquis Mansion has adopted the title of the title, and the second and third cottages have moved out of the Marquis Mansion. The second cottages of the second cottages seem to have a lot of investment. Song Xincheng's name Gu Qingzhu has heard of some of the common affairs when he was in charge of ordinary affairs. Putting aside the fact that he is not an official, he has kept the title of the eldest son of the second cottage of the Song family.
Of course, Gu Qingzhu knew how difficult it was to maintain a home. She smiled at the responsible Song Xincheng rarely. Song Xincheng's round face suddenly turned red. He wanted to bring a teacup to drink water, but accidentally knocked over the teacup. After a while, he was in a hurry and felt even more embarrassed.
Song Jinru spoke for him: "My cousin is very shy and dare not talk to girls on weekdays. This is what it means when he speaks. Don't be surprised by my cousin."
"It's okay." Gu Qingzhu understood.
He Shaojing took the teapot and gave Gu Qingzhu a cup of tea, smiled at Gu Qingzhu, "It turns out that he is the eldest lady from Zhongping's mansion, I feel respectful."
This "disrespect" was to meet at the clinic that day. She skillfully helped Dr. Renentang and was not afraid of the bloody scene.
Gu Qingzhu nodded and thanked her, then drank tea on her own, and had no interest in talking to this person.
He Shaojing was not seen much in her previous life, but she heard a lot of rumors. After a hundred years of respect for the Marquis' Mansion, the children and talents in the family have withered. Seeing that they have been able to survive the generation of He Shaojing, it is time to go downhill. But it was He Shaojing who chose to support the eldest son of the emperor, King Yu, and joined forces with the youngest chief assistant in history to provide advice for King Yu. His methods were insidious and omnipotent. The Marquis of Wu'an Qi Zhengyang was defeated in the court twice, causing an illness and passed away sadly. Later, Qi Xuan inherited the title and caused a huge disaster. The Marquis of Wu'an was demoted to the capital in disguise. If Qi Xuan had not chased after him, they might really be able to assist King Yu to replace the prince and become the new emperor.
Unfortunately, they did not count on Qi Xuan's Jedi counterattack and fought a beautiful turnaround.
Gu Qingzhu didn't know the final outcome of these people. She blocked a sword for Qi Xuan and died. Later, she didn't know whether Qi Xuan returned to the capital to kill He Shaojing and Zhang Lianqing, or whether Qi Xuan was killed by them.
Anyway, he is a very powerful person.
Gu Qingzhu doesn't want to have any involvement with such a person, so he can naturally avoid it if he can.
He Shaojing didn't expect that in front of the girl, his treatment was not as good as Song Xincheng. He was better than that in terms of identity, background, appearance, or demeanor. But she was willing to smile at Song Xincheng, but she was so cold to herself, which was a little confused. She once wondered whether her charm had been greatly reduced and she would not make the girl happy, but looking at the eyes of the Song and Qi girls on the side, it seemed that it was not the case.
