Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 461

After the little monk left, Gu Zixing stopped drinking tea, and played with the wrench on the thumb in his hand, as if thinking about something in his heart.

"Glae."

As soon as Gu Zixing's words fell, Lie Feng appeared in front of his eyes, clasping his hands together: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Gu Qi, is there still no movement?"

Since Gu Zixing wrote the letter to Gu Qi last time, he has not received a reply from him, so Gu Zixing wrote another letter, and increased the bargaining chip for temptation, but he still did not get any reply.

"Maybe already on the way. After all, Wangcheng is some distance away from the imperial city, and the journey is long. Maybe there is something delayed on the way." Lie Feng objectively said that it was his own judgment.

Gu Zixing also thought this way in his heart, because he was too confident in his own judgment, and felt that it was impossible for Gu Qi to refuse the conditions offered by him.

All my plans are based on Gu Qi's agreement to cooperate with me. If Gu Qi kills me and disagrees, then don't blame myself for being rude!
Moreover, if it really comes to that point, then I will definitely spend a lot of time setting up an order, which will not only be laborious, but also increase variables.

In fact, Lie Feng's guess just now was not wrong. The letter written by Gu Qi is on the way now, and it must be delivered to Gu Zixing in a few days.

"Is the concubine going out?" After breakfast, Nanny Gu looked at Zhao Min who was sitting in front of the dressing table, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her tidy her hair.

"Yeah." Zhao Min responded lightly, "Too many things happened yesterday, I'll go and see my godmother, and I'll go and see Zi Mo later."

"Okay, old slave, get ready and go with the princess."

"No need." The rare Zhao Min didn't let Nanny Gu follow her, "Today you teach Xiao Shitou how to settle accounts at home, let Qin Lan accompany me."

Regarding this, Nanny Gu didn't object at all, she just went to visit her, and nothing major would happen if she thought about it, and it was indeed time for Qin Lan to train herself to follow the concubine's side.

After tidying up Zhao Min's hair, Nanny Hu went out of the house, walked to the porch, and called Qin Lan who was playing in the yard.
"Qinlan, stop playing, hurry up and clean up, and follow the princess to see Mrs. Xiao later."

"Really?" Qin Lan was also very surprised. Normally, the princess would take Madam Gu out of the house, and she was bored in this courtyard all day, let alone how bored she was.

"Of course you went."

"Great!" Qin Lan, who was squatting on the ground, stood up immediately after confirming, patted the soil on her hands, and happily ran towards Nanny Gu, ready to give her a hug.

When Qinlan ran in front of Nanny Gu, she saw Nanny Gu stretching her fingers against her forehead: "I'm dirty, don't touch me, okay, don't waste time, go quickly Pack up, don't let the princess wait for you."

"Okay, okay." Qin Lan hurriedly went to her room, and came out refreshed and clean after a while.

When Qinlan came out, Xiao Shitou just came out of his room. When he saw Qinlan so happy, he couldn't help asking: "Qinlan, why are you so happy? Is there anything happy about it?"

"Of course." Qin Lan raised her chin, her eyes were full of pride, "Princess Wang is going to take me out, so I finally don't have to stay in this courtyard all day long."

Seeing the bright smile on Qin Lan's face, Xiao Shitou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth a little.

"That's great." Although Xiao Shitou looked a little envious in his eyes, he was more stable than Qin Lan after all, and he also knew that Zhao Min had high hopes for him, and understood what his urgent task was now.

"Hey? What are you doing here?" Qin Lan looked at the abacus in Xiao Shitou's hand.

Xiao Shitou glanced at the abacus in his hand, and chuckled lightly: "I don't understand some things, I just want to ask Nanny Gu for advice."

"Oh." Qin Lan nodded, "Then you should learn how to settle accounts, I'm going out with the princess."

After finishing speaking, Qin Lan skipped and jumped to Zhao Min's room.

At this time, he was still sitting in the house, drinking tea calmly, and had already cleaned up.

Just now, Nanny Gu said that she was going to urge Qinlan, but Zhao Min stopped her, saying that she was not in a hurry and waited for her to finish it slowly.

Seeing Qinlan jumping and jumping in at this moment, Nanny Gu suppressed the words she wanted to blame her, and understood why Zhao Min said that just now, after all, she wanted to maintain the innocence in Qinlan's heart.

But there are still rules that should be there: "What's the matter with you?" After all, Nanny Gu lowered her face, "Why do you still let the princess wait for you?"

After being reprimanded, the smile on Qin Lan's face froze, and she walked towards Zhao Min with her head downcast: "Princess..."

Zhao Min was not as serious as Gu Nanny: "Okay, don't listen to Nanny, it's not that serious, let's go."

Qinlan was always chattering along the way, and Zhao Min didn't find her annoying, but Qinlan didn't come out of the yard very often, and now everything she saw was very rare.

"Daughter."

Amid Qinlan's chattering voice, Zhao Min also arrived at Jiang Yanran's yard.

At this time, Jiang Yanran had just had breakfast and was admiring the freshly bloomed flowers in the yard. After hearing Zhao Min's voice, she hurriedly turned her head: "Min'er, you are here."

Zhao Min stepped forward and bowed to her: "How did Godmother rest yesterday, everything is fine."

"Everything is fine." Jiang Yanran cheerfully took Zhao Min's hand, walked to the bench next to the gazebo and sat down.

Zhao Min came today, first, to see how Jiang Yanran is today after what happened yesterday, and if she was frightened and made her feel uncomfortable. Second, she wanted to inquire about the groom .

"Godmother, how much do you know about yesterday's groom?"

Jiang Yanran, who was originally jovial, couldn't help but grimace when she heard Zhao Min asked this question, and then shook her head lightly: "It's just familiar, after all, these affairs of the General's Mansion are usually handed over to Steward Jiang I'm taking care of it, but I don't know much about the rest."

"Alas..." Jiang Yanran sighed softly, "Recalling what happened yesterday, I can't help but break into a cold sweat. I didn't expect such a thing to be raised in the house."

"Godmother, don't worry about it." Zhao Min turned to comfort Jiang Yanran, "After all, everyone is fine, right? Now that it's over, don't think about it anymore, it's useless."
