The moment she saw Zhou Mu outside the Hou Mansion, Gu Xiyan wanted to say hello to him, but she held it back later.
Perhaps Zhou Mu treated her so well and showed up in time every time she needed help that she forgot about his special status and that he had many secrets that should not be known to outsiders.
"Is that so?" Qiushi suddenly realized.
But the girl never took the initiative to go to Mr. Zhou. Even on the day when the girl was drugged, Mr. Zhou took the initiative to save the girl.
Yesterday I went to Zhou Mansion, and Min'er asked the girl to go there.
"Have you noticed the change in Mr. Xu's attitude after he sent me back?" Gu Xiyan asked thoughtfully.
She lived a life of being dependent on others in the Hou Mansion. She used to have low self-esteem and was cowardly, and she was most sensitive to other people's emotional changes.
So when Zhou Mu was about to speak but stopped, she guessed what Zhou Mu didn't say.
As for Xu Yanqing's coldness and alienation just now, she actually sensed it immediately.
"Really? I didn't notice." Qiushi stepped forward to close the window and replied: "Master Xu probably likes the girl too much. If the girl also likes Master Xu, I think this will be a happy marriage."
As soon as she finished speaking, a thunder came down, which made her shrink back her head.
Gu Xiyan hurriedly stepped forward to help, closing the windows and keeping out the sound of wind and rain.
"I think it's just the opposite. Mr. Xu may regret asking me to marry him, and I don't really want to get married." Gu Xiyan and Qiushi had exactly the opposite thoughts.
Shen's mother just closed her umbrella and went in. She didn't like hearing what Gu Xiyan said: "Girl, you can't do it! A girl has to get married anyway. The girl is already sixteen. If His Highness King Qin hadn't ruined the marriage, the girl would have gotten married this year.
.If the girl doesn’t pay close attention, the older she gets, the harder it will be to find a good marriage. My wife will also feel uneasy in heaven."
"If you can't get married, just don't get married. It's not a big deal. Is marriage the only way for a woman in this life?" Gu Xiyan felt that she still had to stand up for herself and couldn't rely on men to change her destiny.
On the body.
"My servant doesn't like to hear this, girl. She is so beautiful, how sad is it that she doesn't get married and has a baby?" Chunhua also came out to help.
So the three of them were attacking Gu Xiyan, trying to correct the misconception that Gu Xiyan didn't want to get married.
Gu Xiyan knew that they all cared about her. Although they all advised her to get married, she liked the feeling of being cared for and loved by others.
It was windy and rainy outside, but it couldn't stop the laughter and laughter inside.
At the same time, Zhou Mansion next door.
Today Zhou Mu went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to show his face, and Emperor Cheng De directly arranged for him a position as the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he will officially join the position tomorrow.
This position is the right-hand man of the Minister of Revenue. His appearance at the Ministry of Revenue today attracted a lot of discussion.
Because Zhou Mu's position was bestowed upon him by Emperor Chengde, everyone was interested in Zhou Mu's identity.
After meeting Zhou Mu in person, all the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs were amazed by Zhou Mu's face.
It was also the first time for Maidong to meet Zhou Mu. Although he did not know Zhou Mu's true identity, he knew how much Emperor Cheng De valued Zhou Mu.
Otherwise, how could a man who had never taken part in the imperial examination and had no background whatsoever be able to personally issue such a decree to Emperor Chengde?
But even he didn't expect that the newly appointed right minister's appearance would be so outstanding. It seems that such a person should be outside the secular world, not in and out of official circles.
Zhou Mu went to the household department to show his face, got to know his colleagues and then left the household department in a cold and distant manner.
Unexpectedly, I just returned home from the Yamen, and before I even entered the house, I saw Gu Xiyan and Xu Yanqing.
The scene of the two people standing together is quite eye-catching. They look so in love, and people who don’t know better would think they are staged a separation between life and death.
Gu Xiyan's eyes were fixed on Xu Yanqing's face and she never looked away from him until the moment she entered the Marquis' Mansion, as if he was a stranger.
Qi Zhiyuan could see that his young master was not in a good mood and did not dare to get too close.
It seems that after seeing Miss Gu next door, the young master's mood was not right.
Zhou Muqian sat for a while and then went into the tea room to make tea.
He usually finds drinking tea a pleasure, but this time he felt that drinking tea was like drinking boiled water, tasteless.
"Is there any wine at home?" Zhou Mu asked loudly.
Qi Zhiyuan was standing outside, and his jaw almost dropped when he heard Zhou Mu's question: "Young Master wants to drink?!"
But there is no such thing in the house. The young master is already twenty years old and has never drank alcohol before. Originally, the young master was a pure-hearted person who took everything very lightly. He also grew up in a place like the Fallen Immortal Temple. Before,
Not even touching meat, let alone intestinal poisons like alcohol.
"Suddenly I want to try it. Didn't my dad always say that you should try everything in life?" Zhou Mu seemed to be saying to himself.
Qi Zhiyuan was a little worried: "It's better not to try it. I'm afraid that the young master's body won't be able to bear it..."
Zhou Mu glanced at Qi Zhiyuan: "Go get some wine, I want to try it."
Qi Zhiyuan couldn't stop it, so he had to go to Aunt Yin for advice.
Aunt Yin also has the same worries, but the young master has no desire and no demands. After all these years, he has finally made a request. How can they be willing to refuse?
"Your brother seems to have a small jar of red naughty girls in his house. It would be a good idea to send it to the young master so that he can have a taste." Aunt Yin decided to fulfill her master's wish.
As expected, Qi Zhiyuan found half a jar of Nuerhong in his brother's room. He brought it to Zhou Mu, and Grandma Yin specially fried two dishes to go with the wine.
Zhou Mu tried to take a sip of wine, but he choked heavily.
Although his expression did not change, Nanny Yin could tell that the young master did not think the wine tasted good.
It's just that they didn't expect that the young master's drinking capacity was so bad that he fell down on the table after a bowl of wine.
The drunk young master looked very quiet, looking straight ahead and not speaking.
Fortunately, what Qi Zhiyuan was worried about never happened, and nothing unusual happened after the young master drank a bowl of wine.
Just when they were relieved, the drunken Zhou Mu suddenly stood up and walked out of the house without saying a word.
Qi Zhiyuan was so frightened that Grandma Yin followed him out anxiously.
When Zhou Mu rushed into the rain, Qi Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "It's raining so heavily, where are you going, Master?!"
Zhou Mu was drunk, his eyes were dim, and he was soaked by the rain. He thought for a while, where was he going?
He felt that Qi Zhiyuan was blocking his way, so he waved his long sleeves and threw Qi Zhiyuan aside.
Cai Yu was shocked when he saw this scene. At this time, Nanny Yin shouted to him: "Stop the young master quickly, the young master is drunk!"
Cai Yu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhou Mu, but how could he stop Zhou Mu's strong inner strength?
Zhou Mu struck him with a palm, causing his blood to flow backwards, and he almost fell to the ground with the palm.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Grandma Yin hurriedly stood in front of Zhou Mu and asked, "Where are you going, Master? You might as well tell Grandma!"
