Professor Li’s Married Life Chapter 20:
The two girls who spoke were the female relatives of Duke Cheng's mansion, the person in the lotus root pink dress was the granddaughter raised under the lap of the old lady of Cheng Guo's mansion since childhood, and the royal blue dress was the second girl from the mansion.
In terms of power, Cheng Guogong's mansion is much stronger than Mingdehou's mansion.
Mingde Hou's Mansion is a dignified Hou family despite its appearance, but now it is only living on the foundation that its ancestors earned back then.
Looking at the fire cooking oil outside, the flowers are blooming like a brocade, but in fact, the inner capsule has already been half exhausted, leaving only a flower shelf. Only the reputation of the ancestors is left.
The children and grandchildren in the mansion are not as good as the previous generation, and the males of this generation, counting on their fingers, are actually worthless.
Although there is nothing wrong with the first young master born as a concubine, he is a bit mediocre and lacks talent, not to mention the second young master born from a concubine, who is more temperamental than Wei Nuo.
The third young master who was born in the second house made people shake their heads and sigh when mentioning it. He has no ability at all. I don't know if it's true or not.
Cheng Guogong's mansion is different, his family is now being used by the sage, the eldest master holds an important position in the Gyeonggi patrol battalion, the third master is sent to the south of the Yangtze River to be a prefect, and the grandchildren are also promising.
Miss Cheng Er and Gu Qingci are naturally acquainted, but they have a bad temper, and they are a bit uncomfortable when they meet.
Here, Gu Qingci was led by the staff to the second floor, walking on the wooden stairs.
These ladies who come here often know the rules here.
The first floor of Yuzhenxuan receives individual customers, while the second floor is for distinguished guests. Most of these distinguished ladies and ladies from rich families are regular customers here. Take it directly to the second floor.
As soon as General Cheng Yueying came in, she saw Gu Qingci at a glance, and saw that she was walking at the corner of the stairs, so she ignored the compliments and greetings from the store clerk, and directly pulled Jiang Yun beside her and walked forward quickly.
He said in a voice: "Why do I look so familiar? It turns out to be Miss Gu Liu. Today is a coincidence. I haven't seen you for a long time. Presumably, Miss Six is out of the cabinet now. Don't be idle when you are in the boudoir, and you don't know if there are many people busy."
Gu Qingci recognized the person when he heard the voice at the first glance, he faltered, turned around and saw that it was Cheng Yueying.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Yueying and Jiang Yun came up, followed by two girls.
Gu Qingci didn't like Cheng Yueying, raised her chin, and snorted coldly, "It's none of your business."
Cheng Yueying walked a few steps closer with a dignified posture, glanced at Gu Qingci, sneered, and then said to the guy who led the way: "Who doesn't know that the second floor of Yuzhenxuan is a reception hall?" Honorable guest, are you new here? But why are everyone trying to attract you, and you are not afraid of bumping into a real noble person, and I will reward you with a good meal later."
The shop clerk secretly complained, how could he fail to see that the two young ladies might not deal with each other, but they had no chance to use him as a gunman.
Both of them are regular customers in the store, and they have heard about Miss Gu Liu getting married a month ago, but no matter who she married, Miss Gu Liu is also a lady of the Mingde Hou Mansion, Where would they rush to offend and neglect.
The guy is about to bow down and apologize.
Gu Qingci was already so angry that his eyes were red, and he glared angrily, pointing at Cheng Yueying and cursing coldly: "What kind of dung are you spouting, do you think you are the only noble person in the entire capital? You are more powerful than the emperor and I That's right, your family is powerful now, and it's no big deal to bully others!"
I think she also has some talent for swearing. With a flash of her brain, she was actually smart for a while, and she was able to say something that made people suffocate.
Sure enough, Cheng Yueying's complexion suddenly became ugly, and she was about to rush forward, but was caught by Jiang Yun beside her in time.
Jiang Yun took a step forward, she calmed down a lot, looked at Gu Qingci, and said unhurriedly: "Miss Gu Liu, don't talk nonsense, but you can't speak nonsense, it will cause people to hear and misunderstand, I am afraid that Miss It can't get rid of the relationship."
Gu Qingci recognizes this Miss Cousin from Duke Cheng's mansion, but she has always disliked her, "Could it be that I am a fool and only allow you to bully people in your mansion, but others can't talk back? That's really nice It's a big style."
Jiang Yun frowned: "Miss Gu is careful."
Gu Qingci became angry when she saw her like this, and was about to humiliate her again, but was held tightly by Yu Chuan, and whispered: "Grandma, let's go and see the jewelry. It looks ugly, and the uncle will come over later..."
Although Yu Chuan spoke in a low voice, it was still heard by Cheng Yueying. Cheng Yueying was not a good-natured person. She rolled her eyes, and then said gloatingly to Jiang Yun, "The one who married It's different from us." Then he turned to Gu Qingci, "Oh, look at me, I have a bad memory, Miss Gu, you got married in a hurry before, and I actually forgot to congratulate you, since we met today, let's congratulate Miss Gu for your success Your husband is here."
What she said was heartbreaking, and her tone of sarcasm was undisguised. Everyone in the rich and noble circles of the capital didn't know that Gu Liu was a phoenix turned into a chicken.
Although Gu Qingci knew that she had not suffered any grievances after marrying into the Li family, the matter of low marriage has become a lump in her heart, and no one can mention it.
Currently, in front of so many people, Cheng Yueying provoked her again and again, deliberately saying such things, clearly to humiliate her, how can she bear it!
Gu Qingci has always been a naughty character who is not afraid of making trouble, so he rushed to the front, raised his hand, and swung his hand.
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound, which was exceptionally clear.
The young ladies present and the girl who was serving behind them were dumbfounded.
For a moment, Cheng Yueying screamed "Ah!", and then yelled at the servant girl: "You are all dead! Hold her down and hit me!"
These ladies are all ladies of status and status. The shop assistant is anxious at the first sight. This is going to cause trouble, and if there is any accident, who can afford it.
So he hurried forward to stop him.
Yu Chuan only tried to protect her young lady, but was scratched several times by the girls over there.
Gu Qingci refused to let go, and quickly wrestled with Cheng Yueying.
The scene is completely chaotic.
The servant girl and master fell to the ground and fought together.
Until the clerk in the store invited the lady in charge and brought a group of women to separate the people, otherwise I don't know what the trouble will be.
It is impossible for Yuzhenxuan to come to establish a foothold in the capital and have such a great reputation without any background at all.
The lady in charge who came here was not guilty at all, with downcast eyes and a smiling face, she first "made amends" to the ladies, and then separated them in two places, each looking at her own each buy their own.
Before leaving, he also said something, saying: "We are also a small shop, I hope all the ladies can be more considerate, let alone what happened, we servants are difficult to deal with, it is not easy to explain to the master, just One thing, if this story spreads, it will be a great sin to ruin the reputation of the ladies."
This Yuzhenxuan was previously privately rumored to be owned by the First Prince, even if it was from a noble family, it would not dare to go against the royal family and cause trouble.
In this way, both parties fell silent.
It's just that Cheng Yueying remembered the slap in the face, and cursed Gu Qingci thousands of times in her heart.
This kind of trouble completely disturbed Gu Qingci's good mood when he went out.
Yu Chuan accompanied her, coaxing and persuading her, but failed to make her show a good face.
Not long after, Li Cheng came over.
At a glance, Gu Qingci was right.
There were many people outside, so he didn't ask immediately. He just took Gu Qingci out of the shop and walked to the place where the carriage was parked.
Before I got in the car, I saw the guy he had asked to talk to go straight here, and said: "Young master, stay here--"
Li Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and asked Yuchuan to help Gu Qingci get into the car first.
He turned sideways and said, "What's the matter, brother unknown?"
The store clerk bowed and said quickly: "I dare not take it seriously, but I neglected Ms. Gu today. The shopkeeper asked the little one to send something over, saying that it was an apology for Ms. Gu." A small long wooden box was stuffed into Li Chengze's hand, and he quickly withdrew it.
Li Chengze's heart moved, and then he glanced at Yuchuan standing beside the carriage. Yuchuan lowered his head, and Li Chengze lifted his robe and got on the carriage.
In the carriage, Gu Qingci didn't speak, just twisted the handkerchief there.
Li Cheng glanced at her, didn't ask her what's wrong, but said: "Have you bought anything you like?"
Where there is still the mind to buy things, I am so angry. Gu Qingci didn't learn enough lessons, and vented his anger on Li Chengze blindly.
She complained and resented in her heart, feeling that it was because of Li Chengze that she became the laughing stock of others.
So he raised his head and said to Li Chengze, "You don't care about it!"
Li Chengze paused for a moment with the hand holding the object, then glanced at Gu Qingci lightly, and smiled for a moment.
Just didn't talk to Gu Qingci again.
The atmosphere was a bit stiff, but it didn't affect Li Cheng, he was calm and composed, his face was as usual, and he opened the small wooden box in his hand with leisurely care.
Looking at it, there is a blood-red hairpin inside, decorated with two round beads the size of pomegranate seeds, which looks interesting and cute.
He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully before putting it back into the small box. He was not going to give this to Gu Qingci at all.
Seeing Li Chengze's reaction like this, Gu Qingci suddenly felt aggrieved.
So he simply turned around, without even looking at him, and shouted in anger, "I want to go home, what else do I have to eat!"
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, glanced over, and then did what she wanted, and said to the outside: "Ms. Gu, go back."
The carriage outside slowly turned its head.
When they got home, Gu Qingci ran into the room and lay down on the bed and cried.
After crying for a long time, Nanny Zhang came over to comfort her repeatedly, and managed to calm him down slowly.
Belching from crying, Yuzhu made a cup of honey lotus seed tea for her to drink.
After making a fuss for a while, Gu Qingci finally calmed down, and began to be a little restless, and his eyes wandered outside from time to time.
Yuzhu knew what was going on, and brought water to clean Gu Qingci's hands, and whispered softly, "Master is in the East Chamber. I just asked Yuan Bao, saying that he was reading a book."
Gu Qingci said stiffly, "Who asked him."
Nurse Zhang asked about today's incident from Yu Chuan's mouth, knowing that her own girl provoked it first, so she couldn't help persuading her again.
"My sister-in-law, grandpa is full of good nature. You can't stand your quarrel, and finally got married. It's only been a few days and it's gone again.
Listen to Mammy, seeing that noon is almost past, and you didn't eat outside, I think you are still hungry, and the good rice noodles were cooked on the stove, so grandma went to the uncle's study, and asked the uncle to come Have a meal, then admit your mistake and say some soft words, and this matter will pass. "
Nurse Zhang gave enough steps, and Gu Qingci reluctantly agreed.
