Chapter 37 - fiance smoo
The maid answered the door, and the big iron gate with branches opened slowly, but Si Xingpei suddenly said to Gu Qingzhou, “Go in first, I forgot something in the car.
Gu Qingzhou couldn’t wait.
She almost trot all the way to the yard of Mrs. Si.
Mrs. Si is playing with a pot of narcissus with the maid.
The daffodils are in full bloom, which is a good omen. Mrs. Si smiled and said, “There is a good thing today. The daffodils I raised are blooming. It turns out that the light boat is coming.”
Gu Qingzhou smiled sweetly, thinking that the good thing would probably be on Si Xingpei.
Mrs. Si instructed the maid to bring tea to Gu Qingzhou.
“You’re dressed beautifully, what are you doing today?” The old lady looked at Gu Qingzhou, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
Gu Qingzhou was born white and clean, with soft facial features, and with a little slender arms and temples, he has infinite amorous feelings.
This kind of style, without gaudy, is liked by men and women of all ages.
“The banquet of the Li family.” Gu Qingzhou smiled and told the old lady that she followed her stepmother to the banquet of the Li family.
But she quit halfway through.
“Why, the Li family bullied you?” The old lady was displeased.
The old lady doesn’t know what kind of family the Li family is, and it’s a shame to bully the young lady of the Governor’s Mansion.
“No, it’s because my wife is not feeling well. She went home early, so I had to come out too. If I miss you, I’ll come to see you. ” Gu Qingzhou smiled.
The flattery made the old lady very comfortable and smiled.
About half an hour later, Si Xingpei came in.
“Pei’er is back!” Mrs. Si was really overjoyed, the folds on her face were stretched, and the wrinkles were filled with joy, “Why did you come back earlier?”
“I’m done with my work, I miss my grandmother.” Si Xingpei smiled, and then brought a box of pastries, “When I came back, I saw a newly opened cake shop by a Belarusian, remembered that my grandmother likes to eat cakes that are easy to digest, and bought it. some for you.”
The old lady likes to eat Western cakes, so the commander-in-chief hired an Englishman and a Belarusian to be in charge of the pastry in the kitchen of the company’s mansion.
There is always fresh cake at home.
But the cake bought by the most beloved eldest grandson is more meaningful than the one at home, and the old lady is even more happy.
“Good boy, you are the most filial!” The old lady took Si Xingpei’s hand.
Gu Qingzhou went to Li Mansion to attend a banquet, but did not eat lunch, and watched a good show again. He consumed a lot of money, and now he is hungry.
The old lady asked the kitchen to make black tea, add milk, and serve Gu Qingzhou with fresh Belarusian cake.
Gu Qingzhou was so hungry that she ate most of the raisin cream cake in front of her.
The black tea is fragrant and the cake is rich. Gu Qingzhou’s stomach is full, as if bathing in the warm sun after the autumn. She sighed softly with a look of happiness on her face.
Si Xingpei held the tea cup, and sat beside him watching her eat, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there were slight ripples.
“It really looks like a cat.” Si Xingpei thought.
Gu Qingzhou squinted his eyes occasionally, like a lazy and expensive cat.
Touching Si Xingpei’s eyes, she shrank slightly.
Si Xingpei’s expression softened.
She is afraid of him.
Si Xingpei regretted that he should not have taken her to prison, let alone locked her at the foot of the hall’s bed. She is still a naive girl who likes romance, is afraid of blood, and at the same time feels **** | **** is ugly.
“Like this cake?” Si Xingpei asked her.
“Yeah.” Gu Qingzhou replied, but he didn’t look at him, only at the old lady.
The old lady also noticed Gu Qingzhou’s restraint. She didn’t know what happened to Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei, so she assumed that the boy was present and Gu Qingzhou was shy.
The old lady asked Si Xingpei: “When you come back this time, when will you go to the station again?”
“After the first month, the military government still has something to do.” Si Xingpei said.
“Then you go home first, give your father and stepmother a mask, and come to see your grandmother tomorrow.” The old lady sent Si Xingpei first.
Si Xingpei said yes, got up and said goodbye.
As soon as he left, Gu Qingzhou felt that the wire mesh covering her was closed, she was relaxed and more lively.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Gu Qingzhou called Gu’s mansion.
It was the maid Miao Er who answered the phone.
Miao’er is from the third concubine. Gu Qingzhou and the third concubine have a tacit understanding in private, so Miao’er can be regarded as Gu Qingzhou’s eyeliner.
“…Master has been back for half an hour and has lost a lot of temper.” Miao’er quietly told Gu Qingzhou.
Qin Zhengzheng offended Misju and ruined the future of her two daughters.
When Gu Guizhang raised his daughters, he expected them to become talents. The daughter’s success is to marry high, but Qin Zhengzheng has broken this way, how can Gu Guizhang not be angry?
The previous tuition fees were all in vain!
“If someone asks me, say I’ve called. The old lady at the company’s office will stay with me tonight. I’ll rest here and go back tomorrow.” Gu Qingzhou said.
She didn’t want to go back to get bad luck, and she didn’t want to be dragged by Qin Zhengzheng to confront her.
It was Qin Zhengzheng’s own pot, and Gu Qingzhou didn’t help her carry it.
“Yes, Miss Qingzhou.” Miao’er replied quietly, then hung up the phone.
Gu Qingzhou told Mrs. Si that she wanted to stay here for one night.
She explained to the old lady, “I called home, and the servant said that my father and my wife quarreled, mostly because of my studies.”
“Stay with peace of mind, let alone one night, ten days and a half months will do.” Mrs. Si said with a smile.
Without Si Xingpei, Gu Qingzhou could really live for ten days and a half, but not now.
This night was safe and sound, Gu Qingzhou slept soundly.
After breakfast the next day, she got up and went home.
The old lady asked someone to prepare a car to take her off, but Gu Qingzhou refused and insisted on taking a rickshaw.
It happened that Si Xingpei came, and he said to the old lady, “I’m going to the city hall and passing by Gu’s mansion. I’ll take the boat.”
The old lady didn’t think much and nodded.
Gu Qingzhou was stiff and didn’t want to leave. However, she was worried that Mrs. Si would see the clue, so she had to follow Si Xingpei out.
When he got to the car, Gu Qingzhou immediately opened the door of the back seat and sat in the back.
She refused to sit in the passenger seat this time.
Si Xingpei smiled and obeyed her with a good temper.
“Would you like to know about your fiance?” Along the way, Si Xingpei looked for topics and chatted with Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou didn’t want to.
It is impossible for her to marry the second young marshal. The current engagement is just a stopgap measure.
She was not even interested in seeing Simu. Gu Qingzhou didn’t want to inquire about what happened to Simu.
But if she showed it, Si Xingpei thought that Gu Qingzhou was not interested in Simu because he had a crush on him, then Gu Qingzhou would not be able to wash it out even if she jumped into the Huangpu River.
“Think.” She sat up straight, and when she saw Si Xingpei’s burning eyes in the rearview mirror, Gu Qingzhou began to feel uncomfortable again.
“…Si Mu is not studying in Germany, but treating a disease. Do you know what kind of disease he has?” Si Xingpei asked.
Gu Qingzhou shook his head.
She remembered that in the Overseer’s Mansion, a few girls chatted, talking about Simu, and also saying that he was sick.
If he dies, do you want to be a widow for him?
It seems that Gu Qingzhou needs to settle the Gu family’s affairs as soon as possible, and then he does not need the backing of the military governor’s mansion.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“He’s dumb.” Si Xingpei smiled and gloated a little. “Five years ago, he talked to a girlfriend and drove with her for an outing, and got into a car accident. The girl was thrown out of the car and fell to the ground. Fuzzy, Simu was frightened, and since then has been dumb, unable to speak again.”
