Chapter 13 (Drinking?)
The heroine, Zhao Qingyu, is the only daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty. She was raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was envied by many girls of the same age, but because of her identity, no one dared to provoke her on the bright side.
It's a pity that the little girl who can appear here is not a bad one. If she doesn't provoke her, she won't provoke her. There will be no shortage of exclusion and isolation. At least when she appears, the atmosphere is much colder.
Zhao Qingyu didn't care either, and found a corner at random to sit down. Gu Chaochao touched his nose, and was about to look away when he heard Zhou Jie'er sneer behind him: "Pretend to be noble."
... She and Li Yinyin are worthy of being half-sisters, but anyone who is stronger than her will not say a word. are not comfortable. Gu Chaochao was too lazy to pay attention to her, turned his head and went to sit down in another corner.
Zhou Jie'er only remembered when she saw her leaving that she still had Cai Ye's account to settle with her, but unfortunately she had missed the opportunity. She glanced at Gu Chaochao angrily, then snorted in Zhao Qingyu's direction, and turned her head to find the little sisters.
The hour has passed, and the older people in the yard all entered the house and began to pray for blessings. Only a group of little girls were left chatting and playing, which was very lively for a while. Gu Chaochao and Zhao Qingyu were in two corners, each blocked by the excitement in front of them, but no one cared too much.
Gu Chaochao sat for a while, and when he felt bored, he planned to get up and leave, but as soon as he stood up, he saw Zhou Jier was talking to Li's servant girl outside the courtyard. She paused and sat down again, looking up at Hongchan. .
Hong Chan nodded slightly and disappeared into the courtyard in a blink of an eye.
After a while, Zhou Jie'er came back and chatted with others as if nothing happened. The maid also came in quickly, holding two teapots to add tea to the masters in the courtyard.
Gu Chaochao could see clearly that she always used the teapot in her left hand to add tea to others, and only the cups of herself and Zhao Qingyu were filled with the teapot in her right hand.
After refilling the tea, Hongchan came back and said in a low voice, "Madam, there is a pot of water left over from the night. I'm afraid I will have abdominal pain after drinking it."
Gu Chaochao frowned and looked blankly at Zhou Jie'er. Zhou Jie'er was already staring at her, but she was startled when they looked at her, and she suddenly turned her eyes away with a guilty conscience. Gu Chaochao sneered, put down the cup again, and looked straight at Zhao Qingyu.
Zhao Qingyu had already picked up the cup, but when he felt someone staring at him, he raised his head subconsciously, and caught Gu Chaochao's eyes off guard.
Gu Chaochao shook his head slightly.
She paused, frowned and looked at the teacup in her hand, and put it down after a while.
When Zhou Jie'er looked at them again, both of them put down the cups. She was disappointed for a while, and her good mood was gone.
Gu Chaochao looked at her face that was sinking quickly. He wanted to go out to get some air, but he gave up.
Just kidding, she also hoped that the precious heroine could persuade the hero to 'reform', how could such a little scoundrel bully people.
Gu Chaochao stared at Zhou Jie'er to prevent her from making any small movements, while he picked up a few stalks of dog's tail grass to pass the time. I saw her fingers fly, and soon she made up a fluffy little rabbit.
"What is this?"
A cold voice suddenly came from above his head. As soon as Gu Chaochao raised his head, he met Zhao Qingyu's curious eyes.
She smiled suddenly: "It's a rabbit, do you want it?"
Zhao Qingyu's eyes moved slightly and he sat down beside her.
Gu Chaochao's smile deepened, and he plucked a few pieces of dog's tail grass, and made up a bastard for her: "This is also for you."
"Thank you." After Zhao Qingyu finished speaking, he fell silent.
Gu Chaochao took the initiative to explain: "Just now that tea is the leftover water from yesterday."
Zhao Qingyu nodded: "Thank you."
After that, he picked up the rabbit and the bastard and was about to leave. He just thought about it before leaving, and took out a bottle from his purse. Give her a pearl: "Reciprocity."
Gu Chaochao: "..."
She silently watched Zhao Qingyu go away, and then looked at the fish-eye-sized pearl in her hand. She had only one sentence in her mind -
she knew that she would have made up two more for her.
Unlike Gu Chaochao, Zhao Qingyu is the focus of everyone's eyes even if she is sitting in the corner, so when she walked towards Gu Chaochao, she already attracted everyone's attention. When he presented Gu Chaochao with pearls, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell.
After Zhao Qingyu left, Zhou Jier couldn't wait to walk in front of Gu Chaochao: "What ecstasy did you give Zhao Qingyu, why did she give you pearls?"
Gu Chaochao glanced at her, got up and was about to leave.
Zhou Jie'er immediately stopped her: "Don't think about leaving if you don't say it."
Gu Chaochao was not a good-natured person, and being provoked again and again, he became impatient: "It's nothing, but I see that the tea is not right, remind me It 's just a sentence from her."
Zhou Jie'er suddenly became anxious when she heard the words: "What do you mean? You want to slander the Li family's tea is not good?!
" Others stay far away.
Gu Chaochao stared at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "The Li family's tea is naturally good, but unfortunately my cup is really not right, or I'll ask Mrs. Li and Yinyin to come out and ask them to check what happened. What?"
After speaking, she stepped forward, lowered her voice, and said quietly, "If they find out that someone is doing something at their banquet, what do you think they will do?"
Zhou Jie'er opened her eyes in horror, and the rest of the words choked in an instant. in the throat.
The scene suddenly became deadlocked. When Li Yinyin came in, her mind was still full of her mother's scolding just now——
"Didn't you say that you will tell Shen Mushen to break off the marriage as soon as possible? Why are you still coming to the door as your fiancé! Now all the dignitaries in the capital are watching with their own eyes, he entertains guests in the front hall as half the master, and if he breaks off the marriage again , tell me and your father's old face to go?! I can't control you, you can think for yourself, if you dare to damage the reputation of the Li family, I don't want your daughter!"
She looked gloomy and entered the door. Seeing a group of people in the corner, Zhou Jie'er's expression was obviously wrong, and her mood was even worse.
"What's wrong?" she asked sternly.
Zhou Jier had always been afraid of her, and after seeing her coming, he gave Gu Chaochao a warning look: "It's nothing, it's alright..."
Gu Chaochao knew that Shen Mushen had something to do today and didn't want to make troubles, so after looking at Zhou Jier, he brought Hong Chan left.
Li Yinyin watched her go away with a sullen face, and then asked Zhou Jie'er, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Jie'er laughed dryly and didn't dare to speak, but the person next to him said something: "This Gu Chaochao is really amazing, and he only worked so hard, but he didn't even dare to speak. She climbed up to Prime Minister Zhao's daughter, and they gave her a very good pearl, which is very valuable at first sight."
Li Yinyin's face suddenly turned dark.
Zhou Jie'er observed her words and expressions, and her courage grew again: "It's all down to the point of being overwhelmed by others, and you're still restless, Yin Yin, you're going to marry into Yongchang Hou's mansion in the future, but you must be careful, don't take her word for it inadvertently. ."
Li Yinyin sneered: "She has to have that ability too."
"Yinyin, don't be careless." Zhou Jie'er still remembered what happened just now, and kept putting eye drops on Li Yinyin.
Li Yinyin paused, frowned and looked at the empty courtyard gate, and suddenly came up with a plan in the next moment.
A strategy that was enough to ruin Gu Chaochao and Shen Mushen at the same time, and also ruined her and Shen Liu's reputation.
She lowered her eyes and went to a place where no one was there and said a few words to the maid. The maid was stunned, and hurried to the front yard to find Shen Liu. She looked at the back of the maid who left in a hurry, and there was a flash of desperation in her eyes.
The sun rose higher and higher, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.
Gu Chaochao wandered in the garden of Li's house for a long time, and was ready to go back after dinner time, but before he left the garden, he was stopped by Li Yinyin.
"Cousin, I've been looking for you for a long time." Her attitude was rarely gentle.
Gu Chaochao glanced at the four or five strong domestic servants behind her, blinked and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Of course I have something to ask for your help," Li Yinyin said, and took her arm affectionately. , said in a low voice, "It's a matter of dealing with Shen Mushen."
Gu Chaochao paused and silently looked at Hongchan behind him.
Hongchan stepped forward in time: "Madam, Miss Li, it's time for dinner in half an hour, so let's go to the hall first."
"I'm talking to my cousin, why are you a servant interrupting?" Li Yinyin's eyes turned cold. .
As soon as the voice fell, another six or seven servants appeared.
This is Li's house, and there is no one else in the garden. Li Yinyin is determined, no one can stop her. Even if Hongchan knows a little bit of kung fu, her fists are no match for four.
What's more, there are more than four hands here.
After being silent for a while, Gu Chaochao raised his smile again: "Then let's hurry up, don't tell Mrs. Li and the others to wait."
"It's natural." Li Yinyin said and dragged her out.
Gu Chaochao glanced at Hongchan, and Hongchan's speed gradually slowed down. At the end, he followed them into a side room together, and then turned to leave.
In the boudoir, a few old-fashioned old women were already waiting. When they saw them coming, they greeted them with a smile: "You two young ladies are exhausted. Drink some tea to moisten your throat.
" A cup of tea, the tea is light, but has a gardenia fragrance.
And the tea that was given the boosting medicine in the previous life also has such a fragrance.
... Did she get on the tea bar today? Gu Chaochao was speechless for a long time, and refused seriously: "I'm not thirsty, let's talk about how to deal with Shen Mushen first."
"It's my new tea, try it," Li Yinyin smiled, "After tasting it, let's talk again. Others ."
Gu Chaochao held the teacup and didn't move, thinking that he knew that Li Yinyin would choose to do it today, and she wouldn't come if she said anything.
But then again, who would have thought that Li Yinyin would choose to do it when she was holding a blessing banquet at home.
"Cousin, why don't you drink?" Li Yinyin's voice was a little impatient.
The old woman next to her also gradually gathered around.
Gu Chaochao backed away silently, seeing their encirclement getting smaller and smaller, and the hand holding the cup gradually tightened.
Just as she was about to pour out the tea, a dark shadow flashed across the closed window from the corner of her eye. She paused, and her first reaction was that Shen Mushen was coming.
"Cousin, the tea is getting cold, so you should drink it as soon as possible." Li Yinyin's eyes were full of mockery.
Gu Chaochao coughed lightly, delaying the time silently: "Actually, don't be in a hurry..." Before the words
were finished, a few old ladies immediately started. Gu Chaochao said hurriedly, "I drink, I drink!
" Being fed by them is really out of control.
Under everyone's sight, she held up the cup with all her might, and pretended to drink it into her mouth, but didn't swallow it.
Her mouth was getting more and more bulging, and when she was about to lose it, there was a slight noise from the window, and she was suddenly relieved. Li Yinyin turned her head back subconsciously, and before she could see who was coming, she was hit on the back of the neck, and fell down as soon as it got dark.
The other women were also stunned quickly, and before Gu Chaochao could react, these people were dealt with.
"Drink?" Shen Mushen asked in a deep voice with a cold face.
Gu Chaochao: "No Gudu..."
Shen Mushen: "..."
Gu Chaochao: "..."
