Professor Li’s Married Life Chapter 54:
The reason why Huiyuan is called Huiyuan, as the name suggests, the character is like its shape, it is a garden in the shape of Hui.
There are two gardens, the inner and outer gardens, which together form a Chinese character, and the moon gate passes through the middle of the inner and outer gardens.
While walking, Gu Qingci asked, "Master, is the inner garden or the outer garden?"
The servant girl replied: "Inner garden."
Her yard is from the south gate, which is directly to this side.
Thinking that Li Chengze's side should be at the north gate.
The shape of Huiyuan is peculiar, and the scenery inside is very good. Because there are two layers of inside and outside, it occupies a huge space.
As soon as you enter, you will see the outer garden, with rockery and strange rocks, scattered and rugged, with water pavilions and promenades, flowing cups and curved water, which is dazzling.
The most eye-catching thing is a circle around the lake, which is connected by wooden promenade bridges.
The lake is about three or four meters wide, and there are small boats on it, which can accommodate people to go boating. There are lotus flowers all over the lake, which are still calm before they bloom.
Only in June and July in summer, you can enjoy the endless green lotus leaves in the sky and the red lotus flowers in the sun.
When the lake was first built, it was based on the pattern and location of the back garden. The end to end is connected, and a small boat is used. People can see the scenery in the boat and see the appearance of the entire outer garden.
The little maid leads the way.
Gu Qingci walked across the promenade arch bridge, then passed through the moon gate, and arrived at the inner garden.
The inner garden is more delicate and delicate, with colorful flowers and plants, and countless birds, chirping so lively.
Gu Qingci was thinking that Li Chengze must have something to say to her right now.
Unable to regain consciousness in an instant, two people rushed towards them like a gust of wind.
Yuzhu Yuchuan took a step forward and was about to reprimand, where is it that the servants who serve are so unruly.
Unexpectedly, the two men dressed as servants ignored them at all, and just rushed towards Gu Qingci.
Gu Qingci's expression changed in astonishment, and Yuzhu and Yuchuan hurriedly shouted: "Girl, run!" One, raised his knife hand and struck the back of the neck to knock the person unconscious, then quickly chased after Gu Qingci.
Gu Qingci hurriedly ran forward, shouting: "Come on, come on!"
For some reason, there was no one in the garden.
Since there is a poetry reception today, the clothes that Gu Qingci wears are very complicated and beautiful, but now it is very cumbersome and inconvenient to run.
Gu Qingci lifted up the corners of her skirts on both sides, not daring to get full under her feet, but she still couldn't escape the two crazy people behind her.
Just a moment later, someone grabbed her long hair from the back, leaned back, staggered, caught on the corner of her skirt and fell sideways with a huff.
"Get out!" Gu Qingci screamed, punching and kicking.
The faces of the two men were grim and evil, so scary.
It was only then that Gu Qingci discovered that these two people were not servants from Gu's mansion at all, they had ferocious faces, and their arms were extremely thick, and they dressed the servants like gangsters.
"Who are you! Get the **** out of here! I'll call someone to come and kill you!" Gu Qingci was terrified in his heart, and his face suddenly changed. Who brought these two people in?
The two fake servants smiled wickedly, and had already dragged Gu Qingci to the rockery, one of them cut off her hands, and the other pinned down her legs.
One of the pearl embroidered shoes under Gu Qingci's feet was kicked off.
The fake boy said in a nasty voice: "Miss, please save your energy and call others over. The one who will be ashamed at that time will be the miss, as well as the face of your Mingde Hou Mansion. The miss was ridden under the weight of my two brothers, hahaha!"
The obscene words came out of that yellow-toothed mouth, and Gu Qingci cried out in fright.
A big hand reached to her waist and pulled the belt open.
Gu Qingci struggled, raised her neck and screamed, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Mr. Xianggong! Help me, Mr. Xianggong!"
The fake boy said: "You don't even call me the emperor..."
Before the words were finished, the sound was silenced, and only a muffled hum escaped from the man's throat. After only a few seconds, the man closed his eyes and fell straight over.
When Gu Qingci raised his head, he saw Li Chengze appearing in front of him.
The thick wooden stick in his hand, seeing someone fainted, raised his foot with lightning speed and kicked the other person who was just about to resist, and then put a sap on the back of his head.
Yuan Bao immediately followed up with the knife, and smashed the kneecaps of the two with a sharp stone in his hand.
Li Cheng moved very quickly, and a series of reactions were only in the blink of an eye.
After finishing the two of them, he came over and squatted down a few steps, arranged Gu Qingci's clothes, and hugged him up.
He touched her head and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."
After that, while walking forward with the man in his arms, he said to Yuan Bao: "Tie him up and find a place to lock him up, and wait for him to be dealt with. Don't say anything about it."
Yuan Bao nodded desperately, "Yes, master."
Gu Qingci seemed to have walked through the gate of hell, trembling all over, with tears all over his face and red eyes.
Now that he has regained consciousness, his face is still pale, and he has been whimpering and crying, with endless tears.
Li Cheng touched her cheek with his chin, and coaxed her gently.
He arrived at Gu Qingci's yard soon.
He carried the man and went straight to the inner room.
The servants in the yard were stunned when they saw the young master carrying the young lady in their arms, but they all came back to their senses in an instant, bowed and saluted, and called out: "Young master, young lady."
Li Cheng didn't stop, he just said: "Your girl accidentally sprained her ankle just now, you go and ask your wife to come over."
The servant girl nodded immediately, took a deep breath, and said, there are so many people in the clear sky and white day, why is the uncle hugging the girl like this.
Although the two of them love each other, this speech is really a bit embarrassing.
After about two quarters of an hour, Yuan Bao woke up Yuzhu and Yuchai first, told them that Gu Qingci was fine, and asked them to return to the yard quickly.
The second wife and the two arrived back and forth. When they entered the room and looked at it, their hearts skipped a beat, their brows frowned and they hurried to the room.
Li Cheng sent all the maids to the courtyard instead of serving them in the house.
The second wife instantly realized something was wrong.
Let the big maid beside me stand guard outside the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"What happened?" The second wife frowned and asked in a low voice.
The two of Yuzhu and Yuchuan knelt on the ground with a plop, and you quickly told me everything about Gu Qingci's clothes being wet by someone, and then being sent back to the garden by someone, and then he met two crazy boys. .
After finishing speaking, her eyes were red: "Please punish my wife, this servant did not take care of Miss Hao."
The red eyeballs of the second wife barely protruded, her teeth chattered uncontrollably, she raised her hand and dropped a cup, with a crisp "bang".
Li Cheng's face was also cold, "I didn't ask anyone to invite Ci'er, who is so bold?"
The second wife was trembling with anger, and said sharply: "Check it out! Check it out for me! Let me catch those **** who spread lies and interrogate them to death!"
Hua Luo ordered Zhou's mother to immediately bring a few rough envoys up to arrest him, and the two of them locked up first.
"Don't alarm others, don't let the matter get out, you touched it secretly."
"Don't worry about it, madam." Mother Zhou replied calmly and calmly.
The second wife felt terrified when she heard it, and hurriedly went to comfort Gu Qingci.
An accident happened under my nose in the mansion, how could the second wife not feel guilty and blame herself.
I was very rejoicing in my heart, fortunately Li Cheng went back to the garden, otherwise it would be all over.
Li Cheng frowned and thought about what happened. At first, all of them were in the garden, where they enjoyed the scenery and wrote poems.
After playing for a while, the Fourth Young Master Gu Yan invited everyone to the zoo to see the new tiger at home.
All the talents dispersed and left together.
The reason why he came back again was because he found that the purse hanging on his waist had fallen off. The purse was made by Gu Qingci. That's why I turned around and looked for it.
That's why you have to be lucky at this moment, otherwise you won't be able to save Gu Qingci.
Who wants to harm Gu Qingci?
Li Cheng frowned and thought.
Aunt Zhou and Gu Qingwan were the first suspects that the second wife thought of over there.
The second wife can't think of anyone other than Gu Qingwan and her aunt who have such vicious thoughts and regard their mother and daughter as enemies in this house.
Unfortunately, there are still guests today, and the second wife has already left these days. After Gu Qingci calmed down, she also knew that her mother couldn't leave her body, so she asked her to take care of the guests first.
The second wife had no better way, so she reluctantly went out with a smile on her face and dealt with it for half a day. When sending the guests out, she asked a capable mother beside her to watch at the gate and count the number of guests including the number of servants. Check everything to see who is missing people.
All the guests were sent away almost before the application time.
The mother who went to check the number of people came back and reported, "Ma'am, the old servant at the concierge checked the list by himself. According to the record in the booklet, it is just strange that there are not many people who go out, and there are many people. It is correct." Appropriate, there is no family that loses a servant."
The second wife's face darkened, "Could it be that the two of them came out of nowhere!"
If it is said that the concierge recorded that there were two people deliberately missing early in the morning, it is impossible, unless they hoped that they would be caught, otherwise they would still be found when they went out.
Li Cheng squinted his eyes, and after hearing that, he suddenly said: "If they are not outsiders, then there are only inside ghosts. But he also said that those two people are not from the mansion, so the next possibility..."
"What's possible?" The second wife asked anxiously.
"The person who made this plan has an internal response in the mansion." Li Cheng said.
The second wife hadn't figured out the meaning of what he said, so Mother Zhou came over in a hurry.
"Those two fake servants bit their tongues and killed themselves without saying anything."
The second wife almost gritted her silver teeth, took a few deep breaths, and then asked, "Where's the girl who poured tea?"
"The girl confessed, someone promised her a hundred taels of silver, only to let her dirty the girl's skirt, she was greedy for money and agreed."
"Who allowed her?"
"It was an old woman who was sweeping the garden. She was arrested and interrogated. The old woman only said that there was a time before that she didn't clean the garden. The girl dirty her new shoes in the past, so she was fined to kneel for two hours. The old woman held a grudge. It just so happened that this time the girl came back and she found an opportunity to deliberately make the girl's skirt dirty, in order to make the girl make a fool of herself in front of everyone."
This set of arguments seems to be flawless, but the second wife doesn't believe it at all.
There is such a coincidence!
So he sneered coldly: "Okay, well, I don't have to be soft-hearted since they are hard bones. I will lock them up for a night and call the toothmaid tomorrow. I will sell everything!"
The thread seems to be broken just like that.
Suddenly, Li Chengze's heart skipped a beat, and something flashed through his mind.
After a long while, he lowered his voice and asked, "There is a man named Su Ziyan who seems to be Gu Yan's friend. Do you know this person?" Celadon's concubine, Gu Qingwan, seems to have met three times in such a short time.
Thinking about it carefully, the two of them didn't look like strangers.
At that time, it was Su Ziyan who asked Li Chengze to rescue Gu Qingci when he fell into the water. It seemed that Su Ziyan was just a friend of Gu Yan, but Li Cheng always felt that it was more than that, so he said this sentence with meaning.
When Gu Qingci heard this, she straightened up from the kang and asked, "When did she return to the garden?"
Li Cheng recalled briefly, and said, "It's almost the end of time."
Gu Qingci said in a hoarse voice: "I also saw her with Shu Yue in the Mei Pavilion. It was after noon."
The second wife didn't even care about Li Chengze's presence, and said harshly: "She's never been a quiet person, maybe it's her private affair with others, just to harm my son."
On the one hand, he said: "Mother Zhou, hurry up and find out about the man named Su Ziyan that my uncle said."
I can't figure it out for a while.
In the evening, Li Chengze took Gu Qingci back to Li's house.
Two days later, the second wife ordered someone to send news that Su Ziyan was actually the son of Aunt Zhou's natal sister.
In this way, he is Gu Qingwan's direct cousin.
It's disgusting that Aunt Zhou never revealed anything before, she kept it a secret.
If you say there is no conspiracy, who will believe it!
