Professor Li’s Married Life Chapter 53:

The second wife is very enthusiastic about Li Chengze, the son-in-law. She wanted to do something for her daughter, but Li Cheng blocked the knife for Gu Qingci and protected Gu Xuan for a while, which made the second wife truly sincere. Sincerely grateful, I looked at Li Chengze more and more.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this pair of children are the lifeblood of the second wife, but if there is a mistake, it will be to dig the heart of the second wife.

Li Chengze had to bend down to salute when he came in. The second wife came forward and called out "my son" one by one.

Don't allow him to be too polite, and let the servant girl serve good tea. While drinking tea, he talked carefully about his son.

"It turns out that the spring days are good, and the girls in my family are bored when they come here one by one in winter. It just so happens that my natal nephews and nieces, your cousins ​​returned to Beijing, and are now living at home. That's when I decided to hold a banquet for everyone to be lively together. I vaguely heard that you have been busy in the countryside these days, so I sent someone to pick up Ci'er. I thought she would be bored at home alone, so it would be nice to come here to have a sweet kiss with the sisters. Well, you'll be back soon." The second wife said with a smile.

Li Cheng smiled lightly, "Mother-in-law is interested, she was a little busy a few days ago and neglected Ci'er, I'll let her have a good time tomorrow, it's okay."

The smile on the second wife's face deepened when she heard this, she really liked Li Chengze's openness and intelligence.

He can understand the meaning when he says something himself, and he doesn't find any dissatisfaction when he looks at his words and deeds.

And it doesn't seem like a fake.

It is rare to be a gentle person, neither arrogant nor impatient, and has excellent conduct.

After all these years, the second wife has known and met so many people. When Gu Qingci was going to marry the Li family, she was most worried about two things.

One is afraid that the Li family will not be educated, will disregard the rules, disregard the dignity, and dare to bully others with vicious methods. He is a complete rogue family.

The second one is afraid that Li Chengze is inferior and conceited. He only pretends to be generous on the surface, but he is narrow-minded and small-minded. Such conditions at home will arouse his resentment and jealousy, and even secretly use shady tricks.

But now, the second wife is relieved, and can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Cheng maintained his self-righteousness, his eyes were open and clear, he was by no means such a big mouse, he had a gentle temperament, and his attitude towards others was calm and neither humble nor overbearing.

This just complements the little magic star raised by him.

I went to pick up my daughter today, and if I were the one from another family with a smaller stomach, there might be quarrels and complaints, and a secret rift would arise.

The second wife doesn't know what Li Chengze is thinking. In Li Chengze's eyes, it's not a big deal. If it weren't for the care of the Sun family and the Bai family, Gu Qingci wouldn't be able to return to her mother's house for as long as he wanted. have opinions.

The second wife said what she said, but she wanted to stay Li Chengze in Gu's residence for one night.

But Li Cheng didn't agree. He reasoned that something happened at home, and he didn't report to his elders, so he didn't want to stay any longer.

The second wife was not good at forcing her to stay, so she only stayed for a meal before letting her go.

Li Chengze didn't have the time to have a few intimate words with Gu Qingci, so he glanced at her a few times and only let her have fun.

The second wife saw everything in her eyes, and when Li Chengze left, she took Gu Qingci to her:

"My son-in-law treats you so well, what kind of temper are you having?"

As she spoke, her heart ached. Her daughter had always been a little bad-natured, with a very stubborn temper, so it was easy to say she couldn't.

Gu Qingci tilted her body, how dare she say that she and Li Chengze have been married for so long, and now it's still a superficial matter of husband and wife.

Li Chengze is not sure whether he really likes her or coaxes her.

When my mother asked, I could only answer: "I didn't lose my temper too much."

"Don't mess with me, my son-in-law has looked at you several times since I didn't see you just now, don't make a fool of yourself tomorrow, it will make you feel cold, and then you will cry of."

"Why is my mother still helping him? I'm not an unreasonable person. I can still make trouble with people for no reason." Gu Qingci hummed softly, dissatisfied.

The second wife couldn't laugh or cry when she told her to be so self-willed, but she didn't bother with it anymore, she just asked: "What is the son-in-law doing that makes him so busy?"

Gu Qingci thought for a while and said: "I haven't asked carefully, so I don't know very well," then curled her lips, "What is his family busy with? They collect some rent for the hundred acres of land in the countryside, and the days are too short." Life is tight, and the two girls of the Li family don't necessarily make two sets of clothes throughout the year. But last time my husband bought four servants, and they didn't stay in the courtyard to serve them. They were all taken to the countryside. I don't know. What are you doing?"

The second wife taught Gu Qingci not to care about the serious business, but wasting time playing tricks on those irrelevant matters.

"You are relying on your son-in-law to love you." Which daughter-in-law is like this, even though the second wife's tone is deliberately fierce, her eyebrows and eyes are also full of smiles.

"You should also be more concerned about his usual work. By the way, what teacher did your son-in-law hire before? Which school did you take? I heard that your son-in-law's scholar also passed the exam once. I think his knowledge is not bad. You must never miss your homework, and it will be good luck to get a Jinshi in the future, and who will say that my son is not married well."

However, Gu Qingci's wife is not very competent in her job, how could she go out of her way to find out about Li Chengze's affairs, she only realized that she was embarrassed when she was asked, so she could only vaguely pass it on.

But at least I listened to it from the bottom of my heart.

The next day, a bunch of guests from the mansion came to the door, the second wife went to entertain herself, she was very busy, she couldn't take care of Gu Qingci, and asked him to go out with her two cousins.

The two girls from Gu Qingci's uncle's family are both good, so they are close to Gu Qingci, and they just have to look good to Gu Qingwan.

It might as well be that Liu Shuyue came here too, she came with her sister-in-law, and the two cousins ​​who came to Beijing not long ago.

Gu Qingci took Liu Shuyue's hand and went to the side. After sitting down, Nahan said: "Your family has always kept you under strict control. In the past, you were rarely seen at such and such banquets. Now it has changed?"

Liu Shuyue smiled: "It's not that you don't know what changed your sex. My old lady prefers the second room. I feel sorry for my two cousins ​​who were delayed in the south. She said that they are not young, so I am in a hurry. Right now As long as there is a mansion that sends a message to the next family, it must be let the mother or sister-in-law lead people out for a stroll."

Gu Qingci rolled his eyes, and suddenly leaned into Liu Shuyue's ear and whispered something.

When Liu Shuyue saw someone approaching, he listened carefully, and when he heard what Gu Qingci was saying, his face turned red, and he rushed over and grabbed Gu Qingci's waist twice, making a fuss in the pavilion.

Gu Qingci asked when she promised someone.

Liu Shuyue was ashamed.

The two sat together, talking and having some snacks.

The heat on Liu Shuyue's face subsided, and he said, "I'm sorry, you're making trouble." After finishing speaking, he took a good look at Gu Qingci and said, "You are getting better and better, and your complexion is good, just like those three It's like a delicate peach blossom in April."

It can be seen from this that Gu Qingci married a good family, and her husband must love her, that's why she was allowed to be so free, and she went back to her mother's house if she wanted to.

Liu Shuyue couldn't help thinking, the fate of each of these people may be predetermined, and what's more, what looks good on the surface is not necessarily really good, and what is bad is not necessarily really bad.

It depends on your own good fortune, or you can manage it with your heart.

Gu Qingci was proud of being praised, and her face became more and more proud.

Liu Shuyue asked casually again: "Is your husband here today?"

Gu Qingci nodded, "It's probably in the garden ahead."

Just as I was about to say more, it might as well be interrupted, Liu Shuyue pointed to the distance and said in surprise, "Isn't that your fifth girl?"

When Gu Qingci heard that it was Gu Qingwan, she quickly looked over.

It really was Gu Qingwan, and there was a young master standing beside him.

But this time it's not a tryst, the two of them are accompanied by a servant girl.

Gu Qingci didn't know the man, so he looked at Liu Shuyue, who also shook his head.

The servant girl in the second wife's room, who was still standing behind her, took a step forward, and whispered back: "That young master is the young master of the fourth room of Prince Duankang's residence."

Gu Qingci remembered what the second wife said to her yesterday, and then suddenly understood.

Thinking that Shu Yue would have seen it anyway, she leaned over and said something in a low voice, saying that it was someone her father liked, maybe she wanted to tell Gu Qingwan's family.

"I don't know if it will succeed or not, so let's not say anything."

How could Liu Shuyue not understand this, and hurriedly said: "Of course it is."

They sat close to each other and talked in a low voice. When a little girl came up to pour tea, for some reason, one of her subordinates was unsteady and the tea was spilled, and it all fell on Gu Qingci's dress.

Gu Qingci immediately exclaimed and stood up.

The servant girl was so frightened that she took two steps back, knelt down, kowtowed and shouted: "Miss Liu, please forgive me. This servant didn't do it on purpose. Miss Liu, please forgive me!"

"Are you all right, is it hot?" Liu Shuyue hurriedly pulled Gu Qingci to look.

Fortunately, the tea has been left to cool for a long time and it is no longer hot. Although my hands are splashed, there is no redness or swelling, but my clothes are ruined, and my whole body is wet with tea stains.

Yu Chuan has a stronger temper and impatiently pulls the yelling maid aside to reprimand her.

"...I'll go back and change my clothes, otherwise I won't see anyone." Gu Qingci frowned, and said, "You should go out together, this garden is secluded, and I don't feel at ease leaving you here alone. There are a lot of guests at the banquet today, so don't offend you."

Liu Shuyue would respond to everything, but Gu Qingci was still worried, so she asked the maid beside her mother to lead Liu Shuyue to her sister-in-law's place, and then she changed her clothes and went there.

He took the two servant girls to her yard.

In the middle of the walk, there is a place not far from a rockery.

Gu Qingci didn't know that someone was staring at her.

It is Su Ziyan.

Su Ziyan's expression at the moment is not gloomy.

Thinking that the kidnappers who made a fuss in Taichi didn't kill Gu Xuan last time, he felt unwilling.

Things happened unexpectedly, and the ending was different from the previous life. Gu Xuan is doing well now, and the second wife of Gu's mansion has not made a fuss.

While Su Ziyan was angry, he inevitably panicked, not knowing why things changed and why the ending was different.

But after panicking for half a day, he gradually calmed down again.

It was just a small mistake to comfort himself. Even if Gu Xuan didn't die, he still had his own way to deal with Gu Qingci and Li Chengze, and he would never let them go easily.

*

Just after Gu Qingci changed her clothes, a servant girl came outside and said back with a bow, "Girl, my uncle asked you to go back to the garden, saying that there is something to do."

"My husband called me?"

The maid nodded.

Gu Qingci didn't notice anything wrong, so she let the errand girl go to answer first, saying that she would go later.

Today's poetry, wine and tea party, it is also lively to go back to the garden. There are a group of swans in the lake over there, and the scenery beside it is not bad.

After taking care of it, Gu Qingci took the two maids back to the garden.
