Liu Ruofeng glanced at Xiaofu, who was clearly guilty of being a thief. He heard that early in the morning, the eldest son Zhao sent someone to pick up Liu Meizhuang to marry the old man. He asked the servants outside the Prime Minister's Mansion and said that Liu Meizhuang had come back. He wanted to
He thought she might be a little tired, so he didn't bother him. He was just thinking about going out for a walk, but who knew that he happened to bump into a sneaky Xiao Fu heading towards the place where Gu Xiangyi lived, so he chased after him to see what happened.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far, so I couldn't hear clearly. I only saw Xiaofu handing Gu Xiangyi a jade pendant.
"Hello, young master." Xiao Fu calmed down a lot when she saw it was Liu Ruofeng. She almost thought it was Manager Chen who had returned, which scared her to pieces.
"Yeah." Liu Ruofeng looked at Xiaofu. Generally speaking, when a woman suddenly gives a man a gift, or a personal item like a jade pendant, she must be admiring the man. Coupled with Xiaofu's hidden expression, it really seems like he has something.
It looked like Xiaofu was in love for the first time. But Xiaofu and Gu Xiangyi had been going very far, so how could Xiaofu suddenly give a gift to Gu Xiangyi? What he was worried about was not how Xiaofu would be, what he was worried about was whether Gu Xiangyi would bribe Xiaofu and let her
Stay in Liu Meizhuang to inquire about the news. But even so, there is no need to be so blatant and it has to be done during the day.
"Xiaofu is already tall and graceful. He has indeed reached the age where he should be married. One day I will tell my cousin that you, this girl, have just fallen in love with the handsome Mr. Gu, so that she can match him with him."
"Who has fallen in love with Mr. Gu for the first time?" Xiaofu was furious when she heard this. Xiaofu is very self-aware. She is just a humble maid, how can she covet the superior master? As maids, they will be able to marry An An in this life.
An ordinary person is pretty good, and he doesn't have the luxury to climb onto the master's bed. Moreover, the second young master has a beautiful wife on the left and an aunt on the right. She is not lucky enough to look down on it. Of course, in this case, she is just here
I was just talking to myself in my heart, but I didn't dare to publicize it, otherwise people would definitely say that she had committed the following crimes, and she would have suffered some of them.
Liu Ruofeng rolled his eyes, seeming to be considering the credibility of this little girl's words. "Then if you don't like the second young master, why did you give her a jade pendant in public?"
When Xiao Fu heard this, she realized that she was a person who couldn't get into trouble. Liu Ruofeng immediately said a few words. "How can I have so much money? That jade pendant is worth thousands of gold. It was given to the young lady by the two young masters of the Prime Minister."
.I gave the jade pendant to the second young master, and naturally it was the intention of the young lady. Don’t get me wrong, young master Ciao, Xiaofu has no such evil intentions."
As soon as he said it, Xiaofu immediately covered his mouth. Look at her, how could she tell the whole story? Really, why can't she control her mouth so much? She glanced at Liu Ruofeng in annoyance, Master Ciao was like this
You're smart, you must have guessed something. That's not possible. What if the news about the jade pendant given by the young lady spreads out? Well, reputation is important. For the sake of the young lady, she is too lazy to take advantage of her small blessing and reputation. Just admire her.
"Young Master Cousin, you heard wrong just now. It was Xiaofu. It was all Xiaofu's wishful thinking. Please don't tell anyone about this matter. Xiaofu is embarrassed, but he can't damage the reputation of the young lady."
Liu Ruofeng understood it well and smiled at the corner of his mouth. He thought that he had understood Liu Meizhuang's intention of doing this. Her cousin was really a little clever. She could think of such a thing, and it was thanks to Gu Xiangyi that she had this honor.
To be favored by Miss Yijing. Seeing Xiaofu's eagerness to defend, Liu Ruofeng said: "Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person, so I won't make it public."
Xiaofu felt relieved when he heard what he said. After all, Mr. Biao is also the young lady's cousin, and he helps her in everything, so he can naturally trust her. "Thank you very much, Mr. Biao."
Liu Ruofeng just smiled, said nothing, and didn't criticize anything. She exchanged a few words with Xiao Fu and left. Seeing that the matter was resolved and the jade pendant was delivered to Gu Xiangyi's hand, Xiao Fu finally let go of the big stone in his heart.
However, after the two left, a figure walked out from behind the wide pillar. It was Steward Chen who had just returned from Gu Xiangyi's residence. Steward Chen looked at Liu Ruofeng who had left, and sighed.
The matter between Miss Yijing and the Second Young Master is really difficult to deal with. What Miss Yijing did yesterday has already shown her attitude that she will not get married. As for the Second Young Master, he was only a little bit beaten by the Second Young Master just now.
The vowed words and deeds also confused him. As the saying goes, the connection is broken, not to mention the love between a man and a woman. It seems that he has to report to the prime minister and discuss Miss Yijing's marriage. You know, if he is pushed too hard, it will attract
It's not good for Miss Yi Jing to fight back.
Liu Meizhuang watched the sky outside the door gradually darken, thinking, this little blessing just went to give a jade pendant, why hasn't he come back at this hour. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, she thought it was
Xiaofu came back after completing the task. He put everything down and said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and it was Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Gu who came in. Mrs. Wang glanced at Liu Meizhuang, who was careless, and felt a little dissatisfied. Fortunately, the third young lady came from a wealthy family. All she could do was lie down and follow her all day long.
He looked like a boneless man. He pushed the door open and let Mrs. Gu walk in.
Mrs. Gu glanced at Liu Meizhuang's description and felt a little dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything in the end. She should also know a thing or two about this daughter-in-law's words and deeds. People like them, who come from official families, have followed the rules since they were young.
After observing the rules, seeing Liu Meizhuang looking so laid-back, she would inevitably feel that it was disrespectful. But now that she sees her, she feels more pleasing to the eye. Her daughter-in-law has such a temper, and she cannot change it even if she wants to.
"I'm really lucky to have eyebrow makeup. My brother actually loves me. Why, now that I've met my former mother-in-law, I don't even bother to use the perfunctory etiquette I used to do in the past."
Liu Meizhuang opened her eyes and was a little surprised to see that the people who came were Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Wang. It was strange that her mother-in-law had rarely spoken to her since they arrived in Kyoto from Jiangnan. Why is she so polite today?
Kong knew that she, an old friend, had come to reminisce about the past. She stood up and Liu Meizhuang slowly stood up. After all, the visitor was a guest. As a member of the host's family, she naturally had to treat her politely. She smiled gently.
, be courteous and polite, and said to Mrs. Gu.
"Look what you said, didn't I expect that the visitors would be Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Wang?" I glanced outside the door. Fortunately, there were few people around and the sound was not too loud. I shouldn't have heard anything.
Knowing that Mrs. Gu's words about her former mother-in-law were enough to completely reveal her identity, if anyone listened to her, she would fall short. Taking a look at the furnishings in the room, there happened to be a pair of clothes on the couch.
There are tea sets and some new tea from Longjing before the rain are placed on the table.
"Mrs. Gu came at the right time. I was just thinking about making tea. During these days, I have learned how to make tea. Since Mrs. Gu is here, why not sit down and have a taste patiently."
Mrs. Gu easily opened the relationship between her and Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu didn't mind either, she just thought it was because Liu Meizhuang was worried that the walls had ears and was afraid of poking holes. You Liu Meizhuang was afraid of falling short, and I was also afraid of your delay.
With the lives of hundreds of people in Gu's house in mind, they went into the water together. He waved his hand and told Mrs. Wang to exit.
Mrs. Wang nodded, then left and closed the door.
Liu Meizhuang smiled at Mrs. Gu, and skipped the politeness, and walked directly in the direction of the table. There was a soft couch under the table, covered with layers of brocade silk, which was particularly slippery. There were fire folding bags and charcoal on the table.
.I have to admit that Manager Chen is very thoughtful in all aspects. No wonder he is trusted by the Prime Minister so much. His ability to do things is really good. He has thought of everything that the master thought of, and he has prepared everything that the master did not expect.
"Mother-in-law, please sit down. We are the only ones in the room. Just say whatever you have to say." Mrs. Gu suddenly came to her. It was definitely not to congratulate or care about her. As far as she knew, her mother-in-law was not that caring.
she.
Mrs. Gu nodded, stepped forward and sat down. Looking at Liu Meizhuang's skillful skills, it didn't look like she had learned it recently. Seeing her carefully and elegantly washing tea sets and boiling water, it was obvious that she must be a good one. What can I say about her?
When she was young, she was also a popular official lady in Kyoto, and she also knew a little bit about tea art. Liu Meizhuang's tea-making skills were definitely not developed in a short time. Suddenly remembering Mr. Gu's preferences, Mrs. Gu immediately nodded.
, this daughter-in-law is not something she is satisfied with, but she is someone who can handle everything well. Besides, Liu Fei has such a wish, so she has no need to stop her. The master has been passionate all his life, but he did not expect to give birth to a devoted son.
, her Liu Fei, this really follows her mother-in-law.
"I'm afraid you already knew how to make tea when you married into the Gu family. If you use your cleverness to please Liu Fei, Liu Fei will definitely be controlled by you.
.”
Putting all the tea leaves into the teapot, Liu Meizhuang was a little unhappy with Mrs. Gu's words. "I don't have the leisure and leisure like you, mother-in-law. It's not worth spending so much time catering to and pleasing men."
Of course a mother would be dissatisfied when she hears other people commenting on her son in this way. Although Mrs. Gu felt unhappy, she didn't know how to refute. Hasn't she spent all her thoughts on this in her life? She thinks about it every day.
How to take care of the Gu Mansion, how to make the master feel at ease, how to make the Gu Mansion stable. Everything she did was worthless in Liu Meizhuang's eyes. But now, in her own eyes, it was not worth it.
Is that so? After all the hard work, what you get in return is caution and suspicion.
"Indeed." If the master had her in his heart, why would he let her worry about so many things.
Liu Meizhuang raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Gu. She always had an indescribable feeling that her arrogant mother-in-law seemed to have changed. Has she noticed something?
