"This is a post from my master. My master is Lu Chen, the second son of Zhan Yuanhou Mansion. Brother Lao went to inform your master that my master is here to welcome him to a separate courtyard."
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Lu Chen's handsome face was revealed from behind the curtain.
When the porter saw that the owner of the carriage was very noble, he did not dare to delay, for fear that this was his master's distinguished guest.
"Please wait at the corner door for a moment, I will inform you now!" The concierge wanted to invite the noble man to rest at the corner door, but saw the noble man wave his hand.
"You told your master that I would wait for him outside and not enter the house. You will come to visit another day. It's getting late now, so it's better to leave early."
Lu Chen planned to bring Gu Chengyu to the fourth prince's house, and the fourth prince had been thinking about it for two days. He originally wanted to make an appointment at the teahouse, but then he thought it would be better to go directly to the fourth prince's house.
The concierge trotted and went to see the chief steward of the outer courtyard and told the matter. The steward's surname was Chen. He was about forty years old. He was originally a steward of a small government official. Gu Chengyu had someone check and confirm that his identity was not suspicious.
Only then did he feel relieved to let him take charge of the outer courtyard.
Since he is the steward of the outer court, he also has the right to report to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu often stayed in the outer study room. Although he also cleaned up the courtyard in the second room, he did not go there often. Now that Miss Ji lives in the second room of the house, Gu Chengyu rarely enters the inner courtyard to avoid suspicion. The inner courtyard is divided into
There is a separate courtyard, but it is still the second entrance.
Gu Chengyu originally asked Mingmo and the others to clean up a room in the outer courtyard, and now they are living there for the time being.
When Gu Chengyu went from the bedroom to the study, he saw a bowl of steaming lily and lotus seed soup on the table in the study. Gu Chengyu rubbed his forehead. Every day he had either soup or porridge. Can he say that he was scared when he saw this now?
Twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, it was really terrible. Ming Yan, who was following behind, looked at the young man with a headache and could only cover his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.
"Master! This is from Miss Ji. She asked you to drink it while it's hot." Ming Yan emphasized the words "drink while it's hot". Ming Yan still admired Miss Ji's unremitting actions every day.
"Call Li Chun over." Gu Chengyu took a deep breath, and now Li Chun was following Liang's mother to handle matters in the inner courtyard.
Since Ji Furui is staying here, he is a guest. How can he wash his hands and make soup for his master every day? Wouldn't that be disrespectful to others?
"Yes!" Ming Yan also saw that the young master didn't seem to want to have any close contact with Miss Ji. Although he didn't understand why the young master redeemed her and used her as a decoration, the young master had his own principles.
Manager Chen came in a hurry, saw Gu Chengyu, and quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Sir! A visitor at the corner gate handed over a post, saying it was the second young master from Zhenyuan Hou Mansion. He said he was here to take you to some other courtyard. Do you think so?" Steward Chen handed the post to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu opened it and saw that it was good! It was Lu Chen. Why did this man come so early? He also came directly to his house. Didn't he originally say that he would meet at the teahouse? Did he plan to change places?
"Why don't you invite people to the flower hall to wait?"
"Back to you, Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu said it was getting late, so he won't enter the house." Manager Chen answered respectfully.
"Well! You go back to him and tell him that I will come later." Gu Chengyu didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Chen sold in the gourd, but at most it was just a gathering place for literati!
Gu Chengyu had already put on some clothes for going out, and planned to take a carriage to the teahouse. Since they were here, he would settle the matters here before leaving.
"Young Master! What are your orders to your servant?" Li Chun didn't know what happened. The Young Master rarely called her to the study room.
"Don't let Miss Ji go to the big kitchen in the future. Tell the cooks not to collect money randomly. Although they are staying here, they are also guests. Tell the servants in the house not to let them be lazy.
she."
Gu Chengyu said this, and without waiting for Lichun's response, he straightened his clothes and prepared to go to the corner gate.
"Yes!" Beginning of Chun's heart trembled. How can the cook in the house have such a shallow eyelid? Miss Ji was already living on the monthly money given by the master. How much reward could she get? She served in the master's house, and she also
You can't take care of the study room outside, so you didn't expect that the soup would be delivered here?
Seeing Gu Chengyu tidying up his clothes, Li Chun naturally stepped forward to help. Ming Yan, who came to the side, raised his eyelids. Ming Mo usually did this kind of thing with him. When did Li Chun do such detailed work?
?
Gu Chengyu was not used to the approach of women. He had been served by Ming Mo and the others for so many years. He was not used to it, so he gently pushed Li Chun away.
When Li Chun was pushed away, he stood aside naturally without any embarrassment.
Sooner or later, the young master will get used to her presence. The habits of many years cannot be changed overnight. Once you get used to it, it will become natural.
Ming Yan looked at it and raised his eyebrows. This Lichun must be thinking a lot!
Gu Chengyu didn't know that the two people had their own thoughts, so he had to go to the corner gate quickly, and he couldn't keep people waiting.
Lu Chen touched the tea bowl boredly, thinking about how to tell Gu Chengyu about going to the fourth prince's place later.
Gu Chengyu has not yet taken the imperial examination, and it is not a good thing to have a close personal relationship with the prince, so he came to pick him up. Even if others pay attention to the carriage of the fourth prince's house, they are also seeing their prince's house. Gu Chengyu rides in the same carriage with him, so it should be fine.
.
"Brother Lu!" As soon as Lu Chen heard this voice, he knew that it was Gu Chengyu who was here.
Gu Chengyu is still a young man with a clear and soft voice, and his words always make people feel like they are breathing spring breeze.
He raised the curtain and saw who this wasn't Gu Chengyu. At first glance, Lu Chen's eyes lit up. Gu Chengyu was wearing a sky-blue round-neck robe today, which gave him a young face with the warmth of a young man.
delicate.
Lu Chen discovered that Gu Chengyu was very good-looking last time in Tianxiang Pavilion. Of course, Gu Chengyu was famous in the capital not only for his talents, but also for his appearance, which was as famous as his talents.
Before meeting him, Lu Chen had always felt that this was a bit of a lie. After meeting him last time, he felt that he was worthy of the name.
"Brother Gu Xian, come up quickly." Lu Chen waved to Gu Chengyu to get on the carriage.
Gu Chengyu had already asked Manager Chen to send someone to drive the carriage. What did Lu Chen mean by asking him to get in? Could it be that they wanted to share a carriage? Isn't this inappropriate?
"Brother Gu Xian, don't ask anymore, just come up. This carriage is very spacious, we can fit in it." Lu Chen didn't wait for Gu Chengyu to refuse, and urged him again and again.
Gu Chengyu had no choice but to climb into Lu Chen's carriage. As soon as he entered the carriage, he stepped on the colorful blanket. Gu Chengyu did not pause and sat directly on the side of the carriage.
Ming Yan was a little dumbfounded when he saw the young master getting on the carriage of Zhan Yuanhou Mansion. Seeing that the coachman was about to turn around and drive out of the mansion, Ming Yan quickly jumped on the carriage's shaft and sat at the front of the carriage with the coachman.
