Chapter 128: Moon Over the Willow Trees
Gu Shiliu is back?
Both of them were a little surprised.
Gu Jinghui hesitated for a moment, put Qin Yuan down, and said, "Yuan'er, I'm leaving."
Qin Yuan nodded in surprise.
Counting the days, if Gu Shiliu came back alone, it would be a bit slow, but if he came back with someone, it would be a bit fast.
Did something go wrong?
Gu Jinghui had straightened his clothes, put on a stern face, and strode out.
As soon as Lord Gu left, Hong Ye came in and said mysteriously, "Miss, Gu Shiliu came back alone."
"what?"
Qin Yuan was even more surprised.
The head maid came over to show her courtesy and asked, "Sister Hongye, why is he sighing?"
Such a delicate and strong adult, who is as heavy as a feather and as soft as a cat, it would be too much to be too careless.
"Go talk to your wife and ask her if changing his name is bad or not? Will he hate calling him Hongmian?"
It suddenly became warm outside the house.
Even if I want to find you a husband to support the family, you have to agree to it.
Qin Yuan sighed and asked, "Is Cui Ming feeling better?"
Gu Shisi discovered that there were fewer peddlers, vendors, and beggars wandering around the gate of the mansion than in other places. The doorman also said that there were fewer in recent months than in the past, so there must be many spies among them. As for who sent them, it was hard to say.
"Oh," Hongye went out to call for water in a trance.
Hongye thought about it and felt that it was right, so she found some words to say to Pang Hai, "Did Cuiming say how to thank King Qi?"
"Yes, you haven't brought your father's words yet. You have the right to comment on Gu Houze's plan," Pang Hai said, "He went to get some cold water. You need to take a shower, change clothes, and prepare to rest."
"Hmm," Pang Hai muttered vaguely, and pushed the cold body in front of him softly with his big hands.
Hongye looked at Pang Hai in shock, "Are you going to let Hou Ze sleep in the side room again?"
"Parrot."
It wasn't just Gu Shiba's job that went smoothly.
"When did he come back?"
The person is still sick, and there are visitors from her husband's family.
That smile made me sleepy.
If the people from the Pang family were unwilling to come up, Gu Shiliu would not have been delayed for several days.
Cui Ming would not have the heart to send Zhao mother and son out of the Marquis' Mansion to fend for themselves.
"The Pang family is unwilling to come up?"
Gu Jinghui's eyes sparkled in the white night, staring at Pang Hai's lips. Pang Hai couldn't help but shrink, turned away timidly, and asked, "Why did you come back so late? Did Gu Shiba's mission go smoothly?"
The head maid pouted and made a sound.
Hongye and Hongmian stayed inside until the moon went down behind the willow trees, but Gu Jinghui still hadn't returned.
Hongye said dejectedly, "Gu Shiba is good at keeping his mouth shut, just like a clam."
"He'll wait for a while."
Is the eldest sister going to consummate her marriage tonight?
Hongye glanced at you, the one who had a fight with Accountant Sun today, and said, "He does understand, but he's still a kid. He'll understand when he's a little older."
Qin Yuan frowned.
Hongye tapped your forehead, "Stupid, he would have become a first-class maid. Just don't betray the master, don't climb into the bed, and be smart and willing to learn. Our master is narrow-minded and smart, and he can't be any worse than this."
Gu Jinghui nodded and said, "What he said is wrong. Gu Shiba also thought of that, so he stayed in the seven places of the Pang family to investigate. No one knew what I meant. Moreover, the women of the Pang family are short. It is said that their ancestors are Miao people from the south and migrated to Jizhou. But he also saw the two children of the Pang family. They are short and strong like the Marquis."
Hou Ze shuddered.
Hongye said, "Gu Shiliu was exhausted. The horse was almost dead. The horse we changed at the post station was not good enough. That's why we were delayed by one day. Otherwise, we would have rushed back yesterday."
Gu Jinghui quickly hugged you and asked in a strong voice, “Are you scared?”
Hongmian said, "Sister Hongye, please stop mentioning you in front of the master."
Pang Hai snorted: "Really?"
Hongye sighed and said, "You are finally worrying too much."
"You'll beat him again, what is he worried about."
"Is it still cold?"
Pang Hai didn't have any evil smile on his face, but he managed to hold back his laughter.
Pang Hai asked again: "Did Gu Shiba find Brother Pang's clansmen?"
Gu Jinghui repeated his old trick and went out for a while. This time he did not bring the ice basin, but brought back the ice jar from the inner room.
"It won't take long."
There is still a base of the tiny ice flowers that has not melted completely.
Gu Jinghui thought, I am not willing to touch you even a finger.
When you were an adult, you were whipped by Cui for making mistakes, and before being whipped, you knelt in the ancestral hall for a whole night.
Gu Jinghui got out of bed and fanned himself again, complaining, “That guy who has a big conscience always lets Hongye wait inside to block you, hoping to make you sleep in the side room.”
But he discovered that a white shadow had already flashed into the main room.
"Ah."
Gu Jinghui loosened his hand and lay flat on the bed, his voice filled with confusion and fatigue.
Big sister, is this what you mean?
Cuiming is weak and thoughtful. After being frightened, she needs to calm down and rest.
Hongye said, "Much better. She fell asleep as soon as the incense prepared by the young lady was lit. She slept for the whole afternoon and is much more energetic."
Just because that girl is so noisy, you hate her.
The parrot said, "Disgusting, you are no longer someone that Sister Hongye protects."
Hongye also frowned and shook his head, "I don't know."
Pang Hai asked in shock, "But did the Marquis change his name? Did you hear that many people changed their names when they joined the army? My last name may be Pang, but I am called Marquis. I must be from a small family and joined the army. I must be a bastard or I made some mistakes and wanted to gain fame and go back."
Hongye nodded proudly.
The princes were all eyeing this position.
Pang Hai pursed his lips and smiled again, "Don't worry about him."
"What do you mean? Look at this girl, she's standing there eagerly, trying to stop you."
Something must have happened.
Hou Ze said: "It's too early to say that now. When Cui Ming comes back, everything will be vague."
Hongye asked: "What's his name?"
Qin Yuan nodded, "That's good."
Hou Ze said: "She is someone close to Cui Ming, if she is a leaky ladle, what does it matter?"
"He never expected that the Marquis said that my family is a small clan in Jizhou. Gu Shiba visited the Pang family in Jizhou, but they all said that there was no Marquis."
Hongye sighed.
"Hey, my elder sister is asleep, Cui Ming is really..."
The prince is in good health and he is the eldest son, so it is inevitable that he would have some concerns.
Hongye said worriedly, "She will be able to come and serve tomorrow, Miss, don't just worry about Cuiming. What should we do if Zhao Niang's husband's family doesn't come?"
Pang Hai was fine and slept soundly, but he was awakened by the cold after a while. You moved and were hugged back.
Gu Shisi asked for punishment, but Gu Jinghui felt that he had done nothing wrong. As the head coach had neglected his focus, his subordinates would inevitably be perfunctory, so he only punished Gu Shisi with seventy lashes.
Gu Jinghui didn’t think it was necessary to tell Pang Hai about that, so he just said, “It was Eighteen’s job. Did Fourteen take care of the house and make some mistakes? You punish me with seventy lashes.”
