Professor Li’s Married Life Chapter 52:

After dinner and wine, several people bid farewell to each other and left, while Li Cheng took the four people and their things back home.

In the room, Gu Qingci was thinking about things all afternoon. When Li Chengze came back and found out that he had brought four people back, he felt a little strange, so he couldn't help asking: "The man who bought the servant came back?"

Li Cheng shook his head, raised his eyebrows, and said: "No, I have other uses for these people, and I will send them to the countryside another day, and let them do something."

Gu Qingci nodded and did not ask further questions.

She didn't quite know what Li Chengze did every day, and she couldn't bear to inquire about it.

When we first got married, I probably only heard that he was a poor scholar with little fame and only passed the examination last year as a scholar.

I used to go to school in the academy, but after getting married, I knew that I didn't go there anymore.

In the evening when the two were talking in the inner room, Yuzhu came in slowly, dragging a plate in her hand with a bowl of medicine in it.

Li Cheng paused when he saw it, then went to see Gu Qingci again, and asked her, "Did the disease relapse?"

Gu Qingci took the medicine bowl over silently, and because it was too hot, he casually put it on the gold-painted kang table. Hearing the question, he shook his head for a while, and answered in a low voice, "No..."

Li Cheng frowned subconsciously: "Then why is this? You can't be the one who wants to drink more of this bitter soup?"

It's impossible to think about it.

Gu Qingci winked and told the maid to back down, dawdled for a while, thinking about Zhang Nanny's words, and then told her about Mrs. Sun's appointment as a doctor with deep meaning.

Li Cheng heard the meaning immediately.

More than that, just looking at Gu Qingci's expression, she should have a purpose in telling the matter to herself so openly.

So Li Cheng laughed, and said slowly: "If it's really hurt like the doctor said, it's best to take medicine as soon as possible to recuperate. Grandma's place..." He paused, rubbed his hands and continued, "Don't worry about other things, I will explain to her."

Although Li Chengze said this, Gu Qingci was not happy at all, and felt a little ashamed.

At that time, she hated Li Chengze so much that she tried her best to injure her without letting him touch her.

But now it's already... If that's the case, it's okay.

Because of being awkward, I never thought about these things before, and I was reminded by Nanny Zhang once, knowing that men will not always be plain, and husband and wife should also be intimate and harmonious.

Later, Li Cheng treated her well, and Gu Qingci gradually did not reject her. Li Cheng kissed her before, and she was very happy in her heart.

As for Li Chengze's current rhetoric, it is obviously meaningless at all.

Gu Qingci has a heart, but now she is angry, let alone a daughter, it is not easy for her to take the initiative to say something.

Who is not dignified and dignified?

Gu Qingci will never lower her face again.

He got angry, so he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly.

Li Cheng first thought it was because she was impatient to drink the bitter medicine soup for a month, so he didn't persuade her very much, so as not to backfire, he directly changed the topic.

However, in Gu Qingci's eyes, even Li Cheng didn't like him and didn't want to get close to him. He would deliberately ignore what he said and pretended not to know.

In an instant, she was very ashamed and angry. It turned out that she was saving face by saying these words on her own initiative. Unexpectedly, the extremely difficult thing has been done, but no one sees it.

In the past, Gu Qingci should have gotten angry and made a fuss long ago, but this time, for some reason, she endured it and kept everything in her heart.

She also knew that Li Chengze was smart, and ten million people didn't want him to find out that he was watching jokes in his heart.

Passing his forehead reluctantly, he whispered that he was uncomfortable and wanted to rest.

Li Cheng came back from socializing for most of the day, and got a new melon seed. At this time, he was very energetic and couldn't sleep.

It's not too late for Li Chengze to knock on the Youshi clapper just outside.

Gu Qingci tilted his head slightly, but Li Chengze didn't see her face clearly, and when he heard that she was sleepy, he whispered a few words to let her go to rest first, and then he turned around and went to the outer courtyard.

Let Yuan Bao lead the four new servants to wait in the outer study, tidy up a bit, change into clean clothes, and go to ask questions.

It is mainly related to the cultivation of watermelon seeds. Those few know that water melons can also be cultivated, but they are honest at the moment, saying that the food is not very tasty, and few people like to eat it.

Li Cheng just told them not to worry about it, and didn't explain much, which would be too troublesome. Then they carefully asked some basic information about the origins of the four people.

He quickly jotted down the answers while answering him, making an information sheet for several people. It is also convenient to look up later.

While writing this, Li Cheng suddenly thought that it would be nice to have a book boy who could speak and write by his side, and Yuan Bao would be nice too, but the disadvantage would be that he couldn't read and couldn't do some things.

The next day, Li Cheng asked the coachman to hitch up the car, took all four of them with him, and went to Hekou Village together.

There is no special Zhuangzi here in the Li family, so they can only bring people to the old house.

There was no need for these four people to go back to the city, so Li Cheng simply let them meet the couple who guarded the house and get to know each other.

Then took the four of them to the first field and asked them to see if they could grow water melons. The four of them twisted the soil with their hands and nodded.

After returning to the house, Li Cheng ordered them to use one-sixth of the seeds to cultivate the seedlings first, and grow the melon seedlings first.

After the confession, he privately asked the tenant couple some things, and went back that day.

Maybe his own memory or what he heard was hindered, Li Cheng read a lot of agricultural books after that.

Every day Shenlong sees the beginning but does not see the end, but it is very busy.

A few days later, I finally managed to remember and calculated a set of methods for cultivating seedlings. I got a lot of things in the past, drew pictures and described them, and built two small sheds.

It was not until half a month later that I was free.

Because I haven't seen Gu Qingci for several days, Li Cheng sighed in his heart, and he missed her a little.

Just as I was returning to the city, I passed by a restaurant that the little girl had mentioned before, and she said that a dish of roasted squab was delicious, so she stopped the car and asked Yuan Bao to go and buy a few, put them in a food box, and let's go together Take it back.

It's just that I didn't expect that when I got home, I didn't see anyone.

Li Cheng then asked Nanny Zhang to ask, but Nanny Zhang did not dare to lie.

It was said that the post was posted in Gu's house, and the second wife sent a carriage to pick up grandma.

When Li Cheng heard it, he asked again: "Did you say that you will not return today?"

Nurse Zhang hesitated for a moment, then slowly replied: "Grandma didn't say she would stay overnight, but it's unknown if the second wife will stay with grandma..."

Li Cheng smiled, "Okay, I know, I'm fine this afternoon, so I might as well go pick her up."

Nurse Zhang couldn't help but agree with her.

Young Master went to pick her up in person, since it would save face, others would praise them for their love as husband and wife.

Li Cheng said that he dismissed everyone, went to the inner room to change his clothes, and went to Mingdehou's mansion after tidying up.

*

Gu Mansion.

The second wife received a letter from Gu Qingci a few days ago, and felt that her daughter was in a bad mood, so she wanted to ask her to come back.

The second wife told Gu Qingci that the second master valued a family privately and was about to tell Gu Qingwan.

"In those few days, Aunt Zhou's tail was going up to the sky. On the face of it, she came to greet me every day, but it was just showing off, she was so rampant."

As soon as Gu Qingci heard this, he was immediately lifted up, and quickly asked: "Which one is it?"

The second wife pursed her lips, twitched the corners of her mouth, and snorted, "Young Master Sun from the fourth bedroom in Duankang Palace."

Gu Qingci took a deep breath and calmed down for a few seconds, feeling a little unsure.

After a long while, he said: "Isn't that the palace, why did you fall in love with Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan is worthy of her?"

Although Gu Qingci doesn't know much about the male relatives, it's the palace of the royal family, and Tongtian's family has the same surname!

Compared to Gu Qingci, the second wife knows too much about these personnel and affairs. Most of the women in the inner houses of these high-ranking families in the capital know each other.

So right now, I explained carefully to Gu Qingci: "Their family, Ding Xingwang, has five rooms in total. It is a big family. Because the old prince is still alive, there is no separation, and now they all live in the palace. Four rooms It is a descendant, but that young master Sun is a descendant of a concubine, but also, although he is a descendant of a concubine, but Sifang is now the only male heir, so he is also valued."

Gu Qingci was dumbfounded, and after a long time, he asked again: "Does mother think this house is good or not?"

For Gu Qingwan, a concubine, it is naturally a good marriage.

The second wife can't go against her conscience and say something bad, think about it again, this marriage was chosen by the second master in private, I don't know how much thought has been spent, I guess the young master's character will not be bad go.

Gu Qingci naturally thought of it too, and felt depressed unconsciously.

The sour and jealous emotions flashed by, and I couldn't hold it back anymore, and blurted out: "If my father was willing to plan for me like this, how could I marry a poor and settled down like this, and be overwhelmed by that concubine Gu Qingwan?" !”

The second wife was taken aback by her sudden and loud words, she immediately covered Gu Qingci's mouth after realizing it, and said with a dark face: "This can be confused!"

Immediately, sharp eyes swept over the surroundings, full of warnings, and the girls buried themselves low, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Gu Qingci's eyes were red, and she turned her head away.

She didn't mean it, she actually regretted it the moment she said it.

Just thinking about Li Chengze's indifference to her recently made me feel uncomfortable, and hearing the news that Gu Qingwan would get married well, my mind was confused and I said those words without thinking.

It's just that he is still wronged, so the expression on his face is a bit vicious.

The second wife warned the serving servants again and again, waved them away without serving, and came over to hold Gu Qingci's hand and ask her carefully.

Ask her if she had a fight with Li Chengze.

The quarrel was not a quarrel, so Gu Qingci could only shake her head, but she had a knot in her heart, so she was very irritable.

It's also Li Chengze who has been very busy these days, so he ignored it and didn't find the problem.

Let the original little problem accumulate more and more.

Although the second master is selfishly optimistic about the family, the marriage of the children should only be settled by the mistress of the family.

That's why the Second Wife can't hide this matter. It's the beginning of spring, so the Second Master asked her to hold a poetry reception. He only invites young ladies and gentlemen from acquaintances, and takes the opportunity to meet Young Master Sun and Gu Qingwan of the palace.

Although the second wife was impatient, she was the wife of the main house and couldn't postpone it, so she could only endure the nausea and complied.

"I was afraid that you would be bored at home, and I heard that my son-in-law has gone to the countryside for some business, so I simply sent someone to pick you up, so that I can hang out with those girls tomorrow." Stayed with her for one night.

Just as Gu Qingci was about to speak, she might as well open the curtain and come in to answer, and said crisply: "Ma'am, my uncle is here."

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, the second wife reacted first, and said straightly: "Please come in soon."

Gu Qingci frowned, and said in an angry voice, "Why is he here?"
