famous eldest daughter

Chapter 433 Silver
All the way back to Chinanhou Mansion, Zhou Bingde led the carriage to the stables in the backyard, while Gu Yuqing returned to Tongyuan with Jixiang Ruyi.

After washing up and changing into homely clothes, Ji Xiang Ruyi served her a slightly late lunch, but she didn't feel sleepy at all, she just felt refreshed.

It is afternoon now, the autumn sunshine is slightly drunk, and the air is filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, fragrant and fragrant.

Sitting on the swing frame under the rattan, he didn't swing up, just paddled his toes on the ground, swaying leisurely, holding the rattan cables on both sides with his hands, narrowing his eyes slightly, raising his chin slightly, and taking a bite from time to time. Taking a deep breath, greedily sucking in the fragrant air around him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a sweet arc.

The sky in August is as clear as blue, as blue as a piece of transparent crystal, and a few white clouds are like balls of the most delicate and soft wool, floating slowly with the breeze, lazy, leisurely and noble, making People can't help but be fascinated when they look at it.

There was a myna in the corridor, chirping and cooing, imitating human speech. From time to time, it called out to the geese flying south in the sky, but what it said was a festive farewell. It was very formal. I don’t know who taught it. .

This kind of leisurely contentment, past and present, since the death of her mother, Gu Yuqing enjoyed it for the first time in the past few years. Every pore of her body was washed away by this tranquility and peace, and her whole body was relaxed, like a strand of tea leaves stretched in a teacup.

When he was intoxicated both physically and mentally, Ji Xiangxing walked up to him and reported in a low voice: "Miss, Zhou Bingde wants to see you."

After a few breaths, Gu Yuqing reluctantly opened her eyes and said, "Let him come in."

Auspicious orders come out as promised.

Gu Yuqing helped Ruyi get off the swing frame and walked to the stone table on one side. Ruyi put a thick cushion on the stone bench. She sat down gracefully, with a steaming Biluochun already placed at her hand.

Just as the tea entered his throat, Zhou Bingde had already lowered his eyebrows and walked in behind Ji Xiang.

When he arrived in front of Gu Yuqing, he bowed respectfully and said, "Miss."

After greetings, Gu Yuqing said with a smile: "But something happened?" But he knew in his heart that he should be here for the 1000 taels of silver.

Zhou Bingde heard the words and immediately said: "Miss gave me 1000 taels of silver today to go to the Magnolia Pavilion to have a private room. I only used 80 taels."

Hearing him mention the 1000 taels of silver, Ji Xiang and Ruyi both looked at each other, even more interested than Gu Yuqing.

When they heard him say that he only used 80 taels, they were stunned.

80 taels, which is the normal price of a private room on the third floor of Yulan Pavilion at ordinary times.

But today is not an ordinary day, not to mention that when he went, he was already only two hours away from Wenzhan. Time was so tight. At that time, not to mention that Magnolia Pavilion would have to sit on the ground and raise the price, I'm afraid there would be no elegant rooms. .

But he only spent 80 taels, the normal price, to get the next best room.

Moreover, the name of Chinanhou Mansion has not been removed yet.

Ji Xiang Ruyi was simply curious to death, how did he do it!
Although Gu Yuqing was equally curious, she didn't intend to ask. Since she was asking him to do something, he didn't rely on his power or waste money, and he didn't make any trouble. Instead, he smoothly fulfilled her request. As for the process... everyone The methods are different, not to mention that she ordered the housekeeper to do things, but she never asked him how he did it.

After Zhou Bingde finished speaking, Gu Yuqing took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile: "You did a good job."

But there is no more text.

Not only Zhou Bingde was suddenly surprised, even Jixiang Ruyi was a little surprised, the lady didn't ask about the process.

However, they were surprised. The young lady didn't ask, but they had absolutely no reason to comment.

Suspicion appeared in Zhou Bingde's eyes, and he couldn't help opening his mouth, "Miss, don't you ask me, how did you decide on this private room?"

Gu Yuqing turned around and placed the tea cup in her hand on the stone table beside her, saying, "Do you think you need my intervention to feel at ease?"

The rhetorical question made Zhou Bingde stunned for a moment, and a different feeling came to his heart. The first time he did something, Gu Yuqing gave him such a sum of money. After the thing was completed, she trusted him completely regardless of the process. Could it be that he I am not afraid that I will use my power to bully others and ruin the reputation of Chinanhou Mansion!
His mother always said that the young lady was kind, but he didn't take it seriously. When his mother left the Chinanhou Mansion, Miss Gu was still a baby, and she could tell whether someone was good or not.

But now, she believed in herself without any grudges, but the unfazed firmness in Zhou Bingde's heart was a little shaken.

In addition, Xiaobao made nonsense in her room last night, but she always smiled and tolerated it.

This lady... maybe she is really different.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Bingde couldn't wait to say what he originally planned to say, and with a little more confidence.

"The lady gave the slave 1000 taels of silver. Now I have used 80 taels. I can keep the rest for myself." Zhou Bingde pursed his lips and looked at Gu Yuqing tentatively and said.

As soon as he said this, Ji Xiang Ruyi could not help but feel shocked in his heart no matter how much he endured it.

day!
What is he saying!

Relying on Miss Jiang's respect for Mother Jiang and her love for Xiaobao, is he a bully who wants to get bigger?
Ji Xiang Ruyi suddenly felt angry.

Gu Yuqing, however, remained calm and looked at Zhou Bingde with an unmoving brow, "Okay, but can you tell me the reason?"

The breath that Zhou Bingde held in his throat was released as Gu Yuqing said the word "yes".

"The young lady asked the servant to be the young lady's groom, but on the first day that the servant took office, she asked the servant to go to the Magnolia Pavilion to dine in the private room. The servant secretly thought that the young lady may not just ask the servant to be the young lady's groom. What happened today may be... The lady intends to train the slave."

Zhou Bingde looked at Gu Yuqing's expression while talking, trying to judge whether his guess was the truth, but after concentrating for a long time, he could see nothing but a slight smile on Gu Yuqing's face from beginning to end, like this. The autumn sunshine brings warmth, but no other emotion can be read.

I couldn't help but feel discouraged, so I just talked and didn't think about anything else.

What the result will be, you will naturally know it after you finish talking about it. You can't see it anyway, and it is useless to think about it.

"The servant thought, if this is the case, the servant will have to deal with groomsmen and boys from other mansions when he goes out with the lady in the future. In the process, he will inevitably have to use money. Instead of asking the lady for it every time, it is better for the lady to give the money to him right away. The servant is here to order you."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Bingde lowered his eyes and cupped his hands, standing there, waiting for Gu Yuqing's answer, feeling a little panicked.

After all, Gu Yuqing only told him to let him be her personal groom, but never mentioned anything else.
