pampering wife

Chapter 97

Most of the shops on Hede Street are attics with two or three floors. Because Chu Xiuming is still arranging the repairs and tidying up of the courtyard, Chu Hongxiu and Qingmei are not in a hurry to leave, so they stroll slowly along the street.Entering a jewelry store, the two of them went up to the second floor to choose slowly, Qingmei accidentally looked out, and saw Gu Ronghua who was diagonally opposite was still sitting there.

I couldn’t see clearly downstairs just now, but I can see it clearly here—only Gu Ronghua and Tan Ying were sitting in the private room, and there were several plates of dried fruit and candied fruit on the table besides the jug and teacups. Gu Ronghua sat bored. There, I looked at the door from time to time.

Qing Mei didn't care at first, but now she became curious.From the moment I saw Gu Ronghua until now, she and Chu Hongxiu have been walking for a long time, but Gu Ronghua is still sitting there, who is she waiting for?Can't help but stop and take a closer look.

This jewelry shop not only sells hairpins and rings from the daughter's family, but also men's hairpins and children's accessories.Chu Hongxiu spent a long time picking out two hairpins for Chu Xiuming, and the rest were children's items. Qingmei couldn't help laughing and said, "Who are you buying this for?"

"Chu Han." Chu Hongxiu replied casually, thinking that Qingmei hadn't seen him yet, so she explained: "My nephew, he came back from his maternal ancestor's house in two days." When speaking, he followed Qingmei's gaze, Puzzled: "Who is she waiting for?"

Gu Ronghua was probably impatient to wait at this moment, urging Tan Ying to go out and visit from time to time.

The more Qingmei looked at it, the more curious she became, but she was only curious. She didn't wait for the result for a long time, and when she was thinking about leaving, she saw Tan Ying came in again, followed by this man in fine clothes, who was it not Junli?
In the private room, Gu Ronghua immediately got up to meet her, Jun Li stood a few feet away from her, said something briefly, then Gu Ronghua turned back to the window and closed it.

The situation inside the house came to an abrupt end, Qingmei looked at the two closed windows, feeling suspicious.Jun Li's attitude towards Gu Ronghua has always been indifferent and polite, she can see this, but the situation just now seems to be that the two have a secret discussion, why?Besides, didn't Gu Ronghua go to Wei Mansion early in the morning?

She was puzzled in her heart, but she couldn't figure out the clue, so she could only continue to hang out with Chu Hongxiu.

After returning to Gu's mansion, Qingmei will inevitably go to Liufangtang. Madam Gu naturally asked about today's affairs, Qingmei briefly talked about it, and then said: "Many of the wine brewing utensils I bought a while ago are handy, Qingmei thinks about it. , it’s better to move them to the store, it’s also convenient to use.”

Mrs. Gu naturally doesn't care about these small things: "You can figure out these things. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. If there are not enough people, I will ask some people to help you."

Qingmei naturally responded, and explained that Chu Xiuming's brothers and sisters might come to help her move some things, so Madam Gu told her to go back and tidy up.

Going to Liuliyuan and telling Xu and Luzhu about this matter, they are naturally happy.Qingmei asked the women and maids to tidy up the drinking utensils, and Luzhu next to her grabbed her sleeve and asked in a low voice: "The girl's tavern has opened, and from now on, Luzhu will follow the girl outside to take care of it." ?”

"I can't guarantee that." Qingmei was a little embarrassed, "After all, you are from the Gu family. If Madam agrees, I am of course willing to ask you to help me outside." Otherwise, she has lived in the mansion for so long for nothing. In the end, not only take away these wine jars, but also take away a maid, what kind of talk is this?

Luzhu probably also knew Qingmei's difficulties, the smile on her face dimmed a little, Qingmei couldn't bear it, she wanted to explain her plan clearly, but she was afraid that it would disappoint Luzhu if she couldn't realize it, so she had to endure it.

In the evening, she went to Liufangtang for dinner, only then did Qingmei realize that Gu Hanying had returned from Zhuangzi.

Gu Hanying has lost a lot of weight than before, and has become more gentle and silent, treating others with respect and alienation.Although she is a concubine, she is also a young lady in the mansion. She never has short clothes and food. Now she is sent to Zhuangzi in the middle of winter. Not to mention that she was not able to celebrate the holidays. It's pathetic.

Mrs. Gu didn't seem to notice her changes at all, she only greeted her with care for a while as before, and she still ate as usual.

Because Gu Ronghua went to the Wei Mansion today, Mrs. Gu inevitably asked about this matter during the chat, Gu Ronghua said: "I stayed in the Wei Mansion for a long time, watched some calligraphy and paintings with Xiner, and then went to write poems with my sisters. Madam Gu didn't doubt him, she just said: "Madam Wei is well recently? I heard that Erlang's illness is getting worse."

"Mrs. Wei is in good health, but her spirit is weak after all. I heard that Wei Erlang has been taking medicine for recuperation these days, and the new concubine in his house is serving her wholeheartedly."

"He's taking a concubine again? Mrs. Wei is quite impatient for the joy."

"It is said that she is the daughter of a county guard, so she is more shameless than those messy concubines in the past." The disdain on Gu Ronghua's face was obvious, and Mrs. Gu also smiled: "A good daughter, but she was given a medicine jar As a concubine, even parents are cruel enough."
