Chapter 500: Uncle Shu
Xie Yuanniang didn't think there was anything wrong with her words. She ate Ruyizhai's dim sum and felt a little overwhelmed. She chose a few things that the old lady could eat before the two went downstairs.
When she was at the stairs, she remembered, "I said why is it a bit weird? Sister Min had bought the snacks she just chose for the old lady before."
"If you can't, change a few more."
Gu Yuan walked behind her, putting one hand on the pull rod, which seemed casual, but if you look closely, you will find that he was a protective action. If the beautiful shadow in front of him could not walk steadily, he could reach out at any time.
"As long as you choose, my mother will like it."
Xie Yuanniang knew that the little uncle was telling the truth, and extended the meaning inside, her face was a little hot, so she nodded randomly, "Then let me listen to the second master."
How could the mother-in-law not like the daughter-in-law? But that's why Xie Yuanniang blushed. She was fake.
She was shy and didn't realize it. Gu Yuan's long eyes swept over and smiled in his eyes.
The carriage was parked at the door of Ruyizhai. After walking a few steps, it could get on the car, but was stopped by someone on the way.
"Teacher." Ren Xianhong stood aside in a long blue dress.
He didn't leave.
Gu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but instead had a faint smile on his face, "It's Ji Zuo."
When Xie Yuanniang saw him slightly stunned, she nodded at Ren Xianhong who was bowing to him, and first let Ling Mei help her get onto the carriage. The curtain fell down, and the sight behind her was isolated.
Ren Xianhong withdrew his gaze with a little disappointed look and felt the teacher beside him looking at him. He felt a stern, "I just came out of the bookstore next door, and I didn't want to meet the teacher, so I went up to greet the teacher."
Ren Xianhong was guided by Gu Yuan and became Gu Yuan's disciple.
"It's not too early, so it's rare to go to bed, so Ji Zuo will go back too." Gu Yuan didn't say much, but this sentence gave him face.
Those who have been in the upper rank for a long time are highly valued by the emperor. Ren Xianhong is just a small Hanlin Academy. It is already enviable to be able to talk to the second assistant of the current dynasty in the eyes of others.
The brown robe of the dark auspicious cloud flashed in front of her eyes. Xie Yuanniang got into the carriage when she saw her uncle. As the curtains rose and fell, she could still see Ren Xianhong standing respectfully outside through the gap.
"Let's go." Gu Yuan told Jiang Yi.
As soon as the whip sounded, the carriage started to move, and Xie Yuanniang also retracted her gaze. As soon as she looked up, she bumped into the uncle's gaze.
Xie Yuanniang instinctively explained, "Actually, I wanted to find someone to marry myself. I didn't like the other person, but I just felt that I could trust my character."
After saying that, his face turned redder.
She explained to her uncle what she did. She lived for two lifetimes and became as charming as a little girl.
In the quiet carriage, Gu Yuan's plain voice came, "I don't have many women as sad as you."
If it were a little girl, she would be shy after hearing this. Xie Yuanniang was already a woman in her previous life, not to mention that she was the one who said this. She firmly believed in her uncle's character and knew that he had no intention of saying this, so she laughed.
The embarrassment just now also subsided, "I didn't like me since I was a child. Later, I had a plan to plot against Tingzhi, so I thought about marrying myself out before the relationship between mother and daughter broke down."
"I later found out that I was not the daughter of the Xie family, so no wonder she didn't like me."
When the little girl spoke, her eyelids drooped slightly, and she could see her thick eyelashes, trembling slightly like a butterfly about to fly.
Gu Yuan's eyes moved to the side, "It turns out that you jumped up and down because of this."
Xie Yuanniang was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "So in the eyes of the second master, I look like this."
"You are so well-behaved, you will find a good husband."
"Yes, I'll find it now. Who doesn't envy me for marrying in Jinling City?" Xie Yuanniang blinked in joke.
This little girl.
There was also a smile on Gu Yuan's lips.
After returning to the Gu family, the two went to Mrs. Gu's house and sat for a while. Mrs. Gu sent the two back to rest. When they arrived at Zhushengju, Gu Yuan said that the matter would be handled. First, Xie Yuanniang returned to the main courtyard.
In the study, Jiang Yi was wondering what happened to the second master. As soon as he entered the study, he heard the second master's instructions, "The work of compiling historical books is almost done. I don't know if there will be a locust plague in the autumn of Jiangnan. Newcomers should exercise more. Let the Ministry of Personnel submit memorials and recommend the newcomers who passed the spring examination to go to Jiangnan for exercise."
Jiang Yi:...
Second Master is a little jealous.
He didn't dare to delay and immediately stepped down and retreated, thinking that it would be better to leave quickly, otherwise the second master would be embarrassed and upset, and he would be the one who suffers at that time.
After Gu Yuan finished giving the explanation, he drank another half cup of tea and felt relieved.
Jiang Yi also came in at this time, "Second Master, I have already given instructions."
Gu Yuan raised his eyes, "Ji Zuo has already started a family, and he is still thinking about what he shouldn't have done. I'm doing this for his own good."
This excuse is indeed unreasonable.
On the surface, Jiang Yi respectfully agreed with words like "The Second Master is also for his own good", but in his heart he complained about what he explained to him. Anyway, he didn't have the courage to say it out.
"What are you muttering in your heart?"
"I said, "Second Master doesn't need to explain. You can eat anyway..." Jiang Yi opened his mouth and was stunned. He met the faint gaze of Master. His back felt cold. "Anyway, they won't be unhappy if you scold them. They also want to thank you for your kindness for your promotion."
After saying that, Jiang Yi felt sweat secretly.
Be careless.
Gu Yuan said lightly, and Jiang Yi's body tightened, and he was so respectful that he would never dare to swell his belly again.
"I thought it would be okay if you were jealous anyway."
Jiang Yi laughed twice, "Why don't the subordinates of the second master understand what they said?"
"Go and get ten sticks." Gu Yuan left his words and stood up to go to the main courtyard.
Jiang Yi had a bitter face, and Lu Yi smiled beside him, and he glared, "I didn't say it, how did the second master know."
"It goes without saying that, it's all on your face."
Jiang Yi:...
Gu Yuan walked towards the main courtyard with big strides and looked at the sky. It was almost evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the wall and reflected a dim light.
The servants in the yard met the visitor and greeted each other. Gu Yuan's steps did not stop. When he entered the house, he could still hear the voice inside, "It's getting warm. Take out the second master's clothes and I'll pick some tomorrow."
A smile flashed across Gu Yuan's lips, and his hands were slowly rubbing them behind him. He seemed to have discovered something.
"Second Master, how about eating pots at night?"
"I remember there were several good sheep in the farm, and I asked someone to kill one now."
"Wouldn't it be too much? Why don't you eat next to me?"
"The Zhuangzi is close to you and you can come back in front of the gate of the city."
It was just a trivial matter, but it spread in Gu's mansion.
In the evening, Min Sijun saw the extra mutton soup on the table, "Why did the big kitchen make this at night?"
Noble families have health habits, and mutton gets angry, so they don’t eat it at night.
