Chapter three hundred and thirty-eight people from the government
Gu Chengyu sighed, living in such a living environment is really tiring! No wonder women in ancient times were often weak and fainted at every turn. Isn't it because they had too many things on their minds?
When her mother saw that Hongling was defeated, she didn't go up to ask for trouble. She just urged Yao Mengxian to get on the carriage and go back home.
Mother Chen on the side curled her lips secretly. This Hongling took advantage of the fact that she was the second-class girl next to the old lady. Normally, she would not even look down on mothers like them who were powerful in front of their master.
As soon as he came up today, he tried to bully the third girl overtly and covertly. Isn't this? Isn't this a soft nail?
Mother Chen felt secretly happy, telling you to walk while looking at the sky, but your little hooves just need to be taken care of.
Even her mother's palace is very deep, so she will not be like Hongling, who is eager to show off her power before the third girl returns home.
As the most capable mother around Mr. Ke, she was the one who came up with ideas even for things that Mr. Ke couldn’t make up his mind about.
She doesn't like Hong Ling's rank.
"Girl! The old lady and my wife have been waiting in the house for a long time. Let's go now!" Lian's mother said and glanced at the master and servant Gu Chengyu who was standing aside.
She was wondering in her heart, this young man was dressed luxuriously and had a graceful temperament, but she had never seen him before.
Seeing that he was standing next to Liang Zhirui, he should know Liang Zhirui. However, no one from the Liang family introduced him, and it was hard to ask her as a servant.
"Even mom, you saw that there are only two carriages, and there are still people to sit in. I'm afraid there is no place to put the luggage."
Yao Mengxian frowned and looked at the carriage sent by the Duke's mansion. The one in front was actually used by the master of the mansion when he went out, but that one was not commonly used because although the carriage was well-furnished, the carriage was a bit old. The one at the back was
That car was used by the servants of the government when they went out, and there was no room to put their luggage.
In the past few years, her grandmother had bought a lot of things for her. This time she did not plan to bring them all to the Duke's Mansion, but only a small half, and the others were placed in the Liang Mansion. She did not even have those expensive jewelry and clothes made of materials.
She was going to take them all back. Even so, after she packed them up, she could fit two carriages into them, not to mention, there were also gifts for everyone in the house and some specialties of Jingyuan Prefecture.
In fact, my grandfather has been an official for many years and has not saved much money. In the past few years, my grandfather's disciples have supplemented the two elders a lot, and finally it all went into her pocket.
Thinking of this, she blushed a little. Her grandmother gave her the filial piety given to her teacher and mistress.
Therefore, she felt a little guilty from just now until now, always feeling that the good things she used were all from Gu Chengyu.
Ning didn't want Yao Mengxian to go back like this, it was too cowardly. If she just returned to the Duke's Mansion, she would definitely make those people in the Duke's Mansion look down upon her even more. Those people were waiting to see the joke!
Sister Xian's life in the mansion was difficult, and even those second- and third-class servants could bully her.
Gu Chengyu felt that Yao Mengxian had to go back with him, and he had to go back.
Because Miss Yao has returned to the capital, the Duke's Mansion has also sent people to pick her up. If Miss Yao doesn't go back, those people will be able to take advantage of every opportunity.
Tomorrow there will be rumors among the aristocratic family that Yao Mengxian is dissatisfied with her stepmother and the Duke's palace because she refuses to go back to her maternal grandfather's house. This will almost ruin her reputation. Everyone will think that she is ungrateful and a white-eyed wolf.
Of course Yao Mengxian also thought of this, and she suddenly understood, didn't her stepmother just want her to be in a dilemma?
This matter concerned the teacher, so Gu Chengyu had no choice but to help. Besides, he felt very sympathetic to the fact that a girl's family was in such a difficult situation.
"Miss Yao, since there are not enough carriages, let's take the carriage down here and use it first."
Even her mother set her sights on Gu Chengyu when she saw Gu Chengyu speaking. With such an obvious action, Ning couldn't help but introduce it.
"This is the master's young disciple. Your name is Master Gu."
Lian's mother suddenly realized, "It turns out to be Gu Huiyuan, the old slave has been rude."
Hongling had already taken a look at Gu Chengyu. After all, this young man was like the bright moon in the night sky, which no one could ignore. When he came over, he could see him at first glance because this person was so dazzling that he stood out from the crowd.
.
Now that they knew their identities, Hong Ling and Mother Chen could only step forward and salute.
Gu Chengyu nodded and responded.
Yao Mengxian's luggage was loaded separately, and there were two carriages in total. When Yao Mengxian and the others were packing, the things they were going to put in the Liang Mansion were all in the way of the Liang Mansion's luggage, so there was no need to pack them separately.
Gu Chengyu let his carriage out, but the other two carriages loaded with luggage did not move, asking the carriage driver to follow them back to the Duke's Mansion.
Looking at the carriage going away, Liang Zhirui sighed deeply, his face full of melancholy.
When Gu Chengyu saw her, he didn't know how to persuade her. The teacher and his wife were worried about Miss Yao for one day in the Duke's Mansion. Even if they tried to persuade her, it was just a waste of time. It would be better to change the topic so that they would no longer think about her all the time.
"Teacher! I have packed up your house. Let's go back now! It's time for lunch now. I ordered a table of dishes at the restaurant and I can eat them when I get back home."
After spending so many days on the ship, no matter how skillful the servants around me were, it would be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without food. I only stopped twice along the way, so I could only buy more during the supply run.
Liang Zhirui knew that Gu Chengyu also had a restaurant in the capital, so he nodded repeatedly. During the past few days on the ship, his mouth had become more like a bird. The dishes at Gu Chengyu's Juxiang Restaurant were novel and delicious, and even he was hooked on it.
Desire.
The Liang Mansion has a five-story house in the north of the capital. This was a gift from the emperor. You can imagine how prosperous Liang Zhirui was back then.
It's a pity that the emperor had a weird temper in the later years, and his treatment of Liang Zhirui was not as good as before.
What's more, Liang Zhirui often persuaded the emperor that pills were harmful, which made the emperor irritable when he saw Liang Zhirui. In the end, Liang Zhirui proposed to resign, but the emperor did not hold back and approved.
However, the house was not taken back. The Ministry of Internal Affairs proposed it twice to the emperor, but the emperor did not take it back. Later, the matter was settled.
Naturally, Liang Zhirui would not be so stupid as to insist on giving it back to the emperor as a residence in the capital to save him from moving.
In fact, Gu Chengyu felt that the emperor still had some affection for Liang Zhirui. He might have agreed to Liang Zhirui's resignation out of anger, but he regretted it later.
But that is the emperor. If you, as a minister, do not surrender, the emperor will be even less likely to bow to you.
What's more, there are many capable people in the court, and the emperor doesn't have to use you. I'm afraid that in a few years, the emperor's affection for Liang Zhirui will completely fade away, and this house will have to be returned to the court.
Liang Zhirui returned to this house after seven years of absence. He stared at the carved veranda and hanging flower door in front of him, recalling the most glorious time of the house.
At that time, there was an endless stream of people visiting his house, and the servants in the house kept coming and going all day long, making it very lively.
