Chapter 28: Gu Shuixiu's visit, Liu Yueyi's reaction
Seeing that Dong Shan and Dong Xiao were carrying a basket on his body, Hao immediately asked, "Shui Xiu, what good things have you made? You can do it yourself?"
Hao knew how much Dong Chenghu was to Gu Shuixiu's baby. In addition, Gu Shuixiu is now pregnant, Dong Chenghu would not let her go out alone easily. Even if she wanted to go out, Dong Chenghu would definitely be by her side. What kind of wind is blowing today? She saw Shuixiu but Cheng Hu.
Gu Shuixiu smiled secretly, signaling Dong Shan and Dong Xiao to put the things aside, and then asked them to take another basket to Dong Yunmei's house, and he followed Hao into the house.
"Yueyi, Shuixiu is here." Hao shouted at the top of his voice as soon as he entered the room. Soon, Liu Yueyi's long-toned response came from the backyard.
Gu Shuixiu sat with peace of mind and talked with Hao.
After a while, Liu Yueyi came out. She said a plain dress, and the inner clothes were made of fine cotton cloth. The outer shirt was the same as those worn by Hao. They were all dirty-resistant coarse cloth clothes, but the colors were a bit brighter than Hao's. In addition, some small flowers embroidered on the clothes were a bit elegant.
Gu Shuixiu smiled and pulled Liu Yueyi to sit beside her, and praised her with great emotions: "Yueyi, you can be so elegant everywhere, and Brother Qinshan is really lucky."
Gu Shuixiu praised Liu Yueyi without hesitation in front of Hao, which made Liu Yueyi happy and moved. She glanced at Gu Shuixiu with a slightly blushing face and said coquettishly: "Are you praising me or harming me? By the way, our pregnant lady, why did the sun come out from the west today and come to find me? She won't go to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. Tell me, what do you need?"
"You really know me!" Gu Shuixiu smiled and then said seriously: "Our child hasn't come here for two days. Don't you find it strange?"
Liu Yueyi nodded and said with a serious look: "I think it's quite strange. But our family's food has just been collected in the past two days, and I'm busy. Cuixi came over and said it without explaining the reason. I also thought that if the children hadn't come in another day or two, I would go to your house to ask about the situation. You are here, so I'll save you a little more."
Gu Shuixiu showed a smile from the middle of her eyebrows, held Liu Yueyi's hand and sighed: "I am really grateful to you during this period. If it weren't for you, the children wouldn't have been so good. I sincerely thank you."
Liu Yueyi said with a slightly red face and said angrily: "What do you thank me? You have helped our family a lot, not to mention that you have paid the children's care. What's the point of thanking me? But then again, the children are smart and clever. Even Baoer, who has no foundation, has made up for his natural shortcomings because of his diligence and hard work. Recently, when the children were practicing calligraphy, I discovered that they were influenced by me and their characters were more feminine, which is not a good thing for them.
In addition, my handwriting is not good, and if they continue to practice with me, it will be difficult to correct it in the future." Liu Yueyi really cares about the children. It is rare that they are all good seedlings, and she doesn't want to mislead people's children.
Gu Shuixiu thanked Liu Yueyi again, and then said seriously: "I'm looking for you today for this matter. To be honest, there is a great gentleman from our family these two days. He just recommended that he stay to teach a few children. I just wanted to tell you that our children will not come in the future, but Qingqing and Youyou still have to learn from you. After all, you are more than enough to teach them."
When Hao heard that Gu Shuixiu could find the husband for the children, he was shocked and asked: "Shuixiu, what is that person's origin? We can count the number of capable people in all the villages. That person is willing to stay, but there are no bad intentions."
Although Hao felt sorry for those Shu Xiu, she was naturally more concerned about the safety of the Dong family than the unknown gentleman.
Gu Shuixiu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, aunt, that person is not a person of unknown origin. Since you asked, I will tell you, but you don't tell me. The gentleman moved his family from Jiankang to our Qingping Mountain to settle down. His surname was Chen. Before he retired and returned to his hometown, he served as an official in the court and held a high position. Yueyi, after I said this, can you guess Mr. Chen's identity?"
Gu Shuixiu blinked at Liu Yueyi mischievously.
Hao was confused when he heard this, but she was very good at capturing the key points. The man came from the capital and had also become an official! My mother, that was not something they could easily discuss.
Hao asked with a panic look on his face: "Shuixiu, why do you hire such a capable person? If we do something wrong, will he do it?" Hao made a neck wiping action, which made Gu Shuixiu laugh.
Liu Yueyi couldn't laugh, her surname was Chen, and she was in a high position, so she still retired and returned home. Although the Liu family had declined early, her profit-oriented father had thought of a way to give them to the powerful and powerful concubines, and she still had some impression of the powerful royal ministers in Daliang.
In line with these points, there is only one person in the court today, Situ Shen Shikang!
Seeing Gu Shuixiu and Hao having a good fight, Liu Yueyi hurriedly knelt down in front of Gu Shuixiu and begged excitedly: "Shuixiu, can you take me to meet Mr. Chen? Also, if possible, can you beg him to accept my Zuxin? Although Zuxin is still young, I will teach him well and guarantee that I will not drag you down."
Gu Shuixiu and Hao were frightened by Liu Yueyi. Hao was stunned and couldn't come to his senses. Gu Shuixiu quickly helped her up and joked: "What do you have to say? Why do you kneel down and do me? Besides, Zuxin is younger than my Yuanxu. How do you ask him to learn now? If you want to be a teacher of Mr. Chen, it will take another two or three years, right?
If Mr. Chen is still there, I will definitely talk to you and ask him to accept Zu Xin. Do you think it is?"
Liu Yueyi nodded violently and shed tears of gratitude. Now, Hao had no idea and knew how great this so-called Mr. Chen was.
Gu Shuixiu talked to them for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Dong Chenghu would probably come to find her if he didn't go back, so he said goodbye to Hao and Liu Yueyi and led Dong Shan and Dong Xiao to leave.
Liu Yueyi sent her outside the gate of the village before returning to the Qin family.
As soon as Gu Shuixiu left, Hao chased Liu Yueyi and asked, "Yueyi, who is Mr. Chen? Why did you say that he is so excited?"
Liu Yueyi saw that there were no outsiders around her and then said in a low voice: "Mom, Mr. Chen is not something we can discuss me. I can only tell you that he was once a high-ranking official with great power in Daliang. He could speak loudly in front of the emperor. He was also the top scholar. Jiankang's famous literary master is extremely noble. Mr. Chen will choose our place to settle down and be our neighbors. It is our blessing. So Mom, if you see Mr. Chen in the future, don't ask more. Just respect me. I guess I will take Zuxin to Cuizhu Mountain more in the future and try to show my face in front of Mr. Shen."
