Professor Li’s Married Life Chapter 25:
After feeding a bowl of medicine, Yuzhu quickly put a candied date into the master's mouth, and Gu Qingci lay crookedly on Li Chengze's body, hugging his waist.
As poor as a kitten, limp and weak.
Nurse Zhang winked to the side like a human being, and the two girls with jade characters gave a blessing, and then stepped back lightly.
The house is quiet, and you can hear the tip of a needle falling to the ground.
After a while, Li Chengze raised his hand and touched Gu Qingci's forehead, and asked in a low voice, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Gu Qingci's expression was gloomy, and she buried her face in Li Chengze's arms even more. After arching for a while, she finally made a sound, her tender voice was hoarse at this moment, and she said: "Did you kill that slave?" ?”
Li Cheng hugged her with one hand, and gave her back with the other hand, knowing that the little girl had been wronged, and now she was in charge of everything.
"I've learned a lesson from the beating, but I still hold my breath. How about dealing with it yourself when you're better?"
Gu Qingci suddenly raised her head, clenched her hands into fists, her eyes were red, and she said in a ruthless tone, "Do you know who is belittling me like this? It's your mother! Because I don't pay her, she will beat and kill her. , I have never been wronged like this, this matter, I will not let you go to the Li family lightly, the Li family does not have a good thing!"
In addition to scolding, Gu Qingci even punched and kicked Li Chengze, but she had no strength when she was ill, and the beating didn't hurt, but she cried again, and the world fell apart.
Li Cheng sighed in his heart. It was even harder to manage a sick child, who could not be beat or scolded.
Finally the energy was gone, and Gu Qingci fell into a drowsy sleep again.
Li Cheng did not forget to use the physical cooling method, and asked someone to bring a jar of strong wine, pour it out, dip it in a handkerchief, and wipe Gu Qingci's body.
Everyone in this house is against the master, thinking that the girl must not let it go after suffering such a big loss.
Although Nanny Zhang knew that Li Chengze couldn't be blamed for this matter, the Li and Li family dared to treat Miss like this. How could they swallow their anger and not say a word, or cover up the matter?
If this is the case, I'm afraid the Bai family will become rampant immediately.
So Zhang Nanny has decided to go back to the Hou's mansion and have a good talk with the second wife.
The next day, Qiu Ju got orders to go out and asked a foot bearer to wait outside the small gate of the west courtyard, and Zhang Nanny went out after breakfast.
For the convenience of listening to orders, Yuan Bao has now moved to the East courtyard. Gu Qingci's servant girls are all good-natured, and they often touch some fruits for him to eat, and they talk and laugh when they meet in the courtyard.
Yuan Bao is quick-tempered and knowledgeable, and in the morning he talked a few words with Xiao Man in the yard, and got the matter that Zhang Nanny was going back to the Hou Mansion today.
He blinked and wrote down the words, and when he went back to the study to serve him, he mentioned it to Li Chengze.
"Master, I heard from Sister Xiaoman that Nanny Zhang is going back to the Hou's Mansion today, maybe she is going to talk about grandma." Yuan Bao was still a little worried.
Li Cheng gets up early every day, and spends half an hour writing novels in his study before breakfast.
Just finished now, put down the pen.
It was not surprising to hear Yuan Bao's words. While sorting out the manuscript, he smiled and said: "It's normal for them to go back to the house."
Yuan Bao was at a loss, "Ah? Isn't the master worried?"
Li Cheng shook his head, "You don't understand, don't worry, nothing will happen." At most, the Bai family might suffer a bit.
He did not say the latter sentence.
Li Cheng didn't tell a lie, he really wasn't worried, what's more, he hoped that this matter could reach the Gu family, if Madam Zhang wanted to persuade Gu Qingci to put up with this grievance, Li Cheng would Maybe I have to help them in private.
For some things, there is always only the difference between zero times and countless times.
If you let Mrs. Bai taste the sweetness for a while, how can she live in peace in the future? Originally, Gu Qingci's large dowry tempted Bai Shi all the time, and made her feel good. She was afraid that she would stare at this side every day and try to meddle in this side's affairs.
How could it be possible for Li Cheng to let others intervene in his life and dictate.
Gu Qingci is young and careless, but his temper is not all bad, he is pure and innocent, and his thoughts are all on his face, which can be seen at a glance, and it is easy to teach, and there is no need to guard against evil thoughts behind his back Stab.
Some things are hard to say, as if they are destined.
Thinking about the original marriage back then, if she had been a shrewd and scheming woman, the two of them might not have gotten along in the way they are now.
Li Chengze himself is not a simple person. He has lived in society for decades, and he has a selfish temperament in his bones. There must be cautious distance.
It's not as easy as raising a little girl right now.
Just as Li Chengze expected, Nanny Zhang went out in the morning and came back in the afternoon.
The difference is that when you go out, you are alone, but when you come back, you are followed by a large group of people.
Four mothers, four rough women, and two strong boys.
This is a person, and what is more conspicuous is a large carriage following behind.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the west courtyard of the Li family, causing people from nearby gates to stare shyly.
A dozen or so servants moved things from the carriage in an orderly manner,
There are boxes of everything, including abalone, ginseng, belly, brocade, silk, clothes, various medicinal herbs, and many fruits and vegetables...they send them to Gu Qingci's yard one after another.
This is already a badass before entering the door.
Since it is a family of in-laws, if you visit the house, you should first go to the east courtyard of the main courtyard where Sun lives.
This is etiquette, most of the mother-in-law's family do this.
The people in the Hou Mansion don't have this kind of thing at all.
A well-dressed mother deliberately amplified her voice when she saw people looking around, pretending to be distressed and talking to Nanny Zhang: "The girl is in good health, and she has only been married for a few days. Why did you suddenly fall ill and still have a fever? The second wife seemed to be crying for something, so she hurriedly sent us to have a look, and also brought some of the girl’s favorite food, old sister, quickly lead us to treat the girl Ann."
The two exchanged glances, and ordered the man to move things in quickly.
People from the Hou's Mansion came, but the East Courtyard only knew about it later.
When you come to the Li family, go over there first. How can Mrs. Sun not understand what it means.
Although his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, he didn't say anything after all. Who told their family to be wronged first, not only could they not justify it, but they had to give up their face to apologize and say they softened.
Sun Shi was so angry that his heart ached, so he went to scold Bai Shi again.
*
In the main room of the west courtyard, Gu Qingci leaned on the bed and drank medicine. When she saw the capable mother beside her mother coming over, she was happy at first, and then cried in her arms.
The room is full of people of our own, and we are not afraid of being overheard when we speak heartfelt words. Mother Zhou asked a lot of questions on behalf of the second wife, about how they are doing in the Li family, whether they have been wronged or not.
Gu Qingci was someone who finally had something to vent. As soon as he opened his mouth, he belittled the Li family from inside to outside. There was nothing good about it. He said how miserable his life was, and he was made things difficult by that wicked mother-in-law... ...
Zhou's mother watched Gu Qingci grow up, she naturally knows the temperament of the sixth girl very well, and while listening, she still does not forget to comfort others.
In fact, when Madam Zhang went to the mansion, the second wife asked about the real situation of the Li family. Mother Zhou followed suit and knew that the uncle was very good.
So he asked again: "My uncle treats the girl well, can you two be gentle?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingci's face became even worse when he heard that, and he said listlessly: "What's so good, he has always had a cold face, and he has never been affectionate to me. Mom, why is my life so miserable?" .”
Li Cheng, who had just entered the outer door, heard this sentence seriously, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
Gu Yu, who was closing the inner curtain, was also startled, and hurriedly sent another message: "Young Master is here——"
The mothers all stood up to salute Li Chengze, said a few words, and said that they would go to greet Mrs. Sun, so they withdrew.
There was a momentary silence in the room.
Li Cheng glanced at the empty medicine bowl and a plate of candied dates on the kang table.
Walking over, he slowly picked up a grain with his fingers and put it in his mouth.
After chewing, a sweet taste instantly spread in the mouth.
Li Cheng poured himself a cup of tea and drank a few sips in his hand.
While lifting up his robe and sitting down on the high stool beside the bed, he raised his eyelids to look at Gu Qingci, with a half-smile on his face:
"Miss Gu, how do you want me to treat you? Huh?"
