Professor Li’s Married Life Chapter 31:
Gu Qingci was indeed crying. Firstly, it hurt because she broke her bone, and secondly, she was angry. She hated the third young master of the Zhao family to death.
Because of the disaster for no reason, how can I still be calm.
Actually, when the two had a private tryst, Gu Qingci and the Zhao family's niece just happened to pass by, and they didn't think too much about it at the time.
It's just that the third young master Zhao panicked first, and hit Gu Qingci's horse with a sudden shot.
Just thinking about it makes me angry.
"Mom, my leg hurts, so I won't be crippled?" Gu Qingci asked, sobbing.
"Stupid child, don't talk nonsense. Yesterday, the eldest lady took Master Hou's post and asked the imperial doctor to come over and look at it. She said that if you take care of it carefully, you will be fine. If the bone is straightened and the medicine is applied, it will be fine soon. Don't be afraid. "The second wife sat on the head of the bed and comforted me gently.
But I thought in my heart, my daughter seems to have violated the Tai Sui this year, and everything is not good.
In Gu Qingwan's place, although the incident didn't break out, the old lady got angry and asked the nanny to pass the message, asking her to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days to think about her mistakes.
At Zhao Guogong's mansion, it is even more impossible to pretend that nothing happened.
Mrs. Zhao was very angry along the way, and the nanny was calm behind her. As soon as she got home, she pulled Third Young Master Zhao to her and gave him a lecture.
She was there to show her son the concubine daughter of Mingdehou's mansion, but luckily she hooked up with the concubine of the second room of Mingdehou's mansion.
"Shameless thing, I think your brain is kicked by a donkey!"
The third young master Zhao's face flushed red, which was very ugly, but he knew he was wrong and didn't talk back.
"You panicked Miss Gu Liu's horse, and made a girl break her leg. It was a mistake to say that it would be a mistake to go there. I'm afraid you want to tell people to talk about it for a while, so you just go with your mother first. Let the Gu family make an apology, at least put on a posture."
The next day, Mrs. Zhao prepared a carload of heavy gifts, and took her son to Mingdehou Mansion quickly.
Originally Mrs. Zhao fell in love with Gu Qingjin, but now that this happened, the Zhao family was at a loss, and this marriage may no longer be mentioned.
When I met the eldest lady this time, my attitude has changed a little bit. It is not as close and warm as before, but it is really a Madam Hou's style, with a smile on her face, but her tone is a bit calm.
The third young master of the Zhao family is also a scholar, but he disregarded the etiquette, provoked the girl in Dehou's mansion, and hurt the aunt who went back to her mother's house for a short time.
In this way, if Mrs. Zhao still smiles and makes out with Mrs. Zhao, it will really lose the face of the family.
A lukewarm attitude appears precious on the contrary, which makes people dare not underestimate it.
The eldest lady sipped a cup of tea, lowered her eyes, and said slowly: "Although it was an unintentional mistake, Mr. Zhao has really passed the time, why did he take off the jade pendant that was close to him to beat the horse?" Son, I have pity on the sixth girl of my family who was raised and raised since she was a child. I have never seen such a battle. She was dragged by a horse and ran for a few miles. She fell off the back road and was injured everywhere, and her leg was broken. , After waking up yesterday, I cried all night in pain, and had a nightmare again, and her mother also cried for a while, and I felt distressed when I looked at it."
What can Mrs. Zhao say, she can only express her apologies.
After a while, the eldest lady went on to say: "Ma'am, I know I'm sorry, but after all Qingci is my niece, I'm afraid the second brother and sister will feel uncomfortable, I don't dare to go beyond her and promise something." /
"It should." Mrs. Zhao frowned with a wry smile, and said: "My unfilial son caused the disaster, even if he was beaten and killed, he should bear it. The second wife is a mother, and it is human nature to love children. It's normal, I don't have the face to plead for that evil son, but I should go and accompany the second lady."
This is true, so the eldest lady led Mrs. Zhao to the second wife's yard.
As for the third son Zhao, Mrs. Zhao ordered him to plead guilty to the second master Gu.
The second wife was hugging Gu Qingci in her arms, feeling distressed when she saw the eldest lady and Mrs. Zhao coming over.
Who would be happy to see the culprit whose daughter was hurt?
The second wife pulled the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't put on a good look.
Dryly let people sit down and order the maid to make tea.
Since Mrs. Zhao came to make amends, she was prepared to show her face.
She was well-bred, and she held the second wife's hand and said a lot of apologies.
It was expected that there might be some blood today, so I prepared a big gift, not counting the medicinal materials and supplements in the carriage outside, I also prepared two Zhuangzi, a shop and three thousand taels of silver notes, saying that they were all for me. Miss Six used it to suppress shock.
No way, her son hurt a woman's family members, causing her leg bones to be broken. It was still outside, how many eyes were used to see, and how many ears were heard, if he didn't personally bring a gift to the door to make amends, it would be shameful, and even more so, he would have an enmity with the Gu family.
After talking to the second wife, Mrs. Zhao followed into the inner room to look after Gu Qingci.
As soon as she saw someone, she sat by the bed and held Gu Qingci's hand. The good girl cried out kindly, saying that I didn't teach my son well, which caused you to suffer.
Even her eyes were red, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Gu Qingci's spirit was not very good, she answered listlessly a few times, and then went to see the second wife, and called mother weakly like a kitten.
The second wife is very distressed.
At this moment, a little girl from outside came in to answer the question. Mother Zhou saw it and went out to ask what was the matter.
The servant girl said: "The sixth uncle is here."
When Zhou's mother heard this, she didn't dare to delay, she stepped into the room lightly, and replied in a warm voice: "Second wife, the sixth uncle is here."
The second wife raised her eyes and stood up, "Hurry up, please come in."
Ms. Zhao was a little embarrassed. She only knew that the married girl from the Gu family would go back to her mother's house to live for a while, but she didn't expect to meet her husband.
Not long after, Li Chengze came over.
He was tall and tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, a slightly thin body, slender legs, and a handsome appearance.
At this time, there was no smile on his face, and his brows were deep, but he was not angry.
The indescribable feeling only makes it hard to see the depth.
He has a somewhat stern demeanor.
This is the first time Mrs. Zhao saw this uncle of the Gu family, and she was very surprised when she met him.
He looks like an outstanding person.
Before I only heard that Miss Gu Liu committed herself to the low-priced poor family, and that man is also a deep and sinister villain.
Comparing the man in front of me now, I feel that the rumor is not very true.
Li Cheng first greeted the eldest wife and the second wife in a gentle voice. Although he didn't know Mrs. Zhao, he knew that she might be a guest when he saw the clothes and clothes, so he greeted him casually.
He didn't ask much about the other words, and his eyes fell on the bed.
Gu Qingci hadn't seen Li Chengze for many days, and she didn't feel that much before, but now that he suddenly appeared, the girl suddenly felt aggrieved.
Sniffed, and pitifully called out: "Sanggong."
The eldest lady smiled when she saw this, and exchanged glances with the second wife. Mrs. Zhao also had an understanding expression on her face, and they called the maids out together.
Li Cheng sighed helplessly, strode over, looked at her leg first, and saw that her left leg was really splinted.
Ask: "Does it still hurt?"
Gu Qingci lay uncomfortable and stretched out his hand for Li Chengze to hug her up.
Li Cheng touched her face: "Don't move around."
But he still hugged her a little bit, Gu Qingci hugged her around the waist domineeringly, asking him to bury her head in his arms like coaxing her.
After a while, I couldn't help but start telling Li Chengze how she got hurt.
Afraid Mrs. Zhao outside would hear it, she could only reach out and pinch Li Chengze's left ear, then leaned closer and put her mouth next to her, with a very low voice, swearing from time to time, calling Third Young Master Zhao shameless and vicious.
Li Cheng squinted his eyes, and wrote down Mr. Zhao San, "Okay, don't learn those stupid words from now on." While laying him down, Li Cheng said, "Come back with me today. Your legs really need some time to grow, and if you are always here, you may cause people to talk about right and wrong."
Gu Qingci knew it was good or bad, and Kuang had lived in Gu's residence for so many days, so he nodded obediently.
After dinner at noon, the second wife ordered the servant girl to pack up the things, and reluctantly sent the two of them away.
The things Mrs. Zhao sent were also sent in a carriage.
*
One hundred days of injury, even if the bone is broken, there is no bleeding or wound, but the most important thing is to take good care of it.
After the first few days, the pain went away, but I still couldn't run around.
Nurse Zhang suddenly became stern, she held tight to Gu Qingci, she refused to let her get out of the bed, she was either lying on the soft couch or lying on the kang bed outside during the day.
Gu Qingci was bored, so he recruited the two sisters, Li Zhi and Li Chan, and continued to teach them how to read and write.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed in a hurry.
In the twelfth lunar month, there are only twenty days to the New Year.
The splint on Gu Qingci's leg was removed a long time ago, and she was living in the house, while Li Cheng was very busy.
In the past few days, it's even worse. He leaves early and returns late every day. He wakes up before Gu Qingci wakes up, and returns only after Gu Qingci falls asleep.
That's why Miss Gu Liu was visibly sulking. She has kept a serious face for the past few days, and she is no longer arrogant or laughing.
Yu Chuan made some small mistakes, and Gu Qingci jumped into a rage, scolded Renhao, and took all her anger on him.
The servants in the room were so frightened for days that they moved lightly and dared not make a sound.
The reason why Gu Qingci is so angry is not only Li Chengze's negligence and indifference towards her.
Instead, her birthday is coming soon, but the other party obviously didn't take it to heart, as if she didn't remember it.
I obviously asked last time, and said that I would help her get a small character.
There are expectations in my heart, but when the expectations are about to fail, I will naturally feel uncomfortable.
Gu Qingci's guess was correct, but Li Cheng was too busy to forget.
The weekly newspaper has just started, and the momentum is just right. He and shopkeeper Fang are so busy every day that they can't be idle for a moment.
The words that coaxed Gu Qingci casually before have long been forgotten.
Aunt Zhang saw the signs and wanted to talk about it, but the problem was that Li Cheng hadn't been doing much home for the past two days, and she couldn't do anything in a hurry.
Soon it was Gu Qingci's birthday, but the west courtyard was not happy at all.
Because the uncle didn't come back last night.
Nurse Zhang could only put on a smiling face, coaxing Gu Qingci to make fun of her, and Yuzhu Yuchuan also said nice things.
Changshou noodles were prepared in the kitchen and delivered, Mammy Zhang brought them herself, smiled and said a bunch of auspicious words for celebrating the birthday, then put the bowls and chopsticks in front of Gu Qingci, and said, "Grandma, eat some, You have to eat as much as you can."
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingci stared at the longevity noodles, and suddenly picked it up, and with a bang, the bowl and chopsticks were overturned and fell to the ground.
"Grandma!"
"Grandma can't do it!"
Several people around were startled, and they all spoke out to persuade them.
But Gu Qingci covered his face with his hands for some reason, started crying, turned around and ran back to the room.
Don't want to see anyone again.
…
Li Cheng finished talking about a new cooperation with Shopkeeper Fang. As soon as he came out of the fan building, Yuan ran over when he saw Bao, with something wrong on his face.
As soon as my heart moved, I asked, "What's the matter?"
Yuan Bao said: "Miss Xiao Man, who is in front of Young Mistress, has just come over and told me some things, let me tell Master quickly."
Li Cheng said as he walked: "Say."
Yuan Bao hurriedly followed and said the matter quickly.
Li Cheng stopped, knocked himself on the head, and whispered to himself, "I actually forgot... how angry Gu Qingci is."
After that, he turned and walked in the other direction.
Yuan Bao hurriedly said: "Master, where are you going? That is not the way home."
Li Cheng stepped faster and faster, and a helpless voice reached Yuan Bao's ears.
"Go shopping and make your young lady happy."
When Li Cheng arrived home, the yard was extremely quiet.
When Nanny Zhang and the others saw Li Chengze, their eyes lit up, as if they had found a backbone.
Li Cheng interrupted their salute and entered the room on his own.
Gu Qingci lay on the bed, pillowing her arms.
Li Cheng didn't walk lightly, but she didn't look back.
Li Chengye approached, bent down and stretched out his hands, and hugged him up.
Then, I saw a pair of wide-eyed rabbit eyes.
For a while, I wanted to laugh, but at least I held it back. Li Cheng gave a low cough, reached out and rubbed Gu Qingci's head, and whispered in her ear: "It's all my fault, I didn't come back to accompany you sooner." It's birthday, how about the girl spare your husband this time?"
When Gu Qingci heard this, he didn't know whether to be angry or annoyed, so he stretched out his hand to push the person, "I don't want it, you go, you go!"
Whoever really believes this is a fool.
Li Cheng is naturally not stupid.
Women don't care about most of them. When they get angry and lose their temper, they probably have some duplicity.
This is what a former female friend of Li Chengze told him.
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, pinched Gu Qingci's cheeks, and said, "Little girl, if I really leave, I'm afraid you will cry again. Okay, darling, come and see what I bought for you." What a good thing..."
As long as a man is patient and willing to coax someone, many girls may be overwhelmed, not to mention, the one in front of him is still a little girl.
With a few words, my heart almost disappeared, but I didn't admit it on the face, pretending to be fierce with a puffy face.
Waiting for Li Cheng, he took Gu Qingci's hand and led her to the desk, and asked her to grind ink, and then dipped the pen to write two large characters on the paper.
"Guanguan?" Gu Qingci read aloud.
Li Cheng had a smile on his brow, he was very romantic and handsome, he said:
"It's the name for you, how about it?"
