There is a fairy wife at home [Red Mansion]

After dinner, lights were added to the desk, and Gu Ting continued to read.

Jiang Jinshu had nothing to do, since Gu Ting was around, it was not easy for her to meditate, so she just read a book to pass the time.For convenience, a bookshelf was erected against the wall behind the desk. At first, there were few books, but now they are full of them, neatly arranged by category.She is impatient to read poems and books, and she doesn't need to study and write articles. She only picks up travel notes on mountains and rivers and folklore stories.

After choosing the book, she sat directly opposite Gu Ting.

Gu Ting looked away from the book and stared at the person reflected in the light without blinking for a long time.

How could Jiang Jinshu not notice it: "What are you thinking?"

Gu Ting blushed, quickly lifted the book to cover his face, and put it down after a while: "Jin Shu, you go to bed first, I'll go to bed later."

"The daytime is so long, why bother working hard at night, it's bad for your eyes. You should go to bed early too." Now that Gu Ting is just a beginner, and he doesn't need to take exams, and with his near-photographic memory, there's really no need to work so hard.

Gu Ting said, "The teacher has arranged a lot of homework for me, and I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it."

"Don't worry, there's enough time."

Gu Ting thought about it and nodded.In the end, it's not that he has no plan, and he has a plan for studying in his heart, but he just apprenticed to a teacher, and he is deeply afraid that he will disappoint the teacher if he doesn't do well.

Deciding to follow her persuasion, Gu Ting relaxed, and asked with a smile, "Jin Shu, is swimming in the lake fun?"

"Do you want to go?" Jiang Jinshu thought he was greedy again.

Gu Ting shook his head, and said solemnly: "An inch of time is an inch of gold. I study later than others, and I need to put in a lot of effort. The teacher arranged a lot of homework according to my background, and I have to go to a new class tomorrow. .”

... Gu Ting has really grown up, even if some words and actions appear childish occasionally, it is just his temperament and habits.

Even so, Jiang Jinshu always ignores the fact that he grew up.

After hesitating for a moment, she talked about the prefect Yao.She really didn't intend to tell Gu Ting earlier, it wasn't to hide it, but she subconsciously treated Gu Ting as a child.Now that he has indeed grown up, this matter has something to do with him, and he has the right to know.

"...What do you think of Mrs. Yao's words?" Jiang Jinshu also wanted to use this matter to consider him, to see how mature his mind is, and to see his behavior by the way.

Gu Ting listened to her tell the ins and outs of the incident, first his eyes widened in surprise, and then he remained silent.

Estimating the time needed for half a cup of tea, Gu Ting said: "I've heard of the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing. The four families in Jinling are very famous. Uncle Xu mentioned before that Duke Rong is your grandfather, but the two families have long After breaking contact, I didn't expect Yao Zhifu to miss him so much."

Jiang Jinshu was quite surprised: "You know Rongguo Mansion?"

Even if Gu Ting has figured it out now, the time is still short. In the past, Gu Ting was only concerned with eating, drinking and having fun, and he was not interested in other things.Furthermore, they are not in the middle of Beijing, and they are far away from Jinling. Ordinary people don't pay attention to the affairs of such prominent families.Furthermore, Gu Ting is not the type who likes to talk and listen to gossip.

Gu Tingdao: "I asked Uncle Xu to inquire. When the prefect Yao talked to the teacher that day, I couldn't understand many things. I think I know too little. The teacher also said that you can't read dead books. If you want to study to become an official and become an official through the imperial examination, you must not only understand the officialdom, but also understand the people's livelihood. Uncle Xu inquired about the information very comprehensively. That's how I found out, Jin Shu, that you are still related to the Rongguo Mansion."

After hearing such a call, Jiang Jinshu had no choice but to face up to Gu Ting in front of her, with a clear face, a clear expression, a handsome young man, as gentle as jade.

No more fools!

Jiang Jinshu asked back, "Then what do you think should be done? Are you going to answer Mrs. Yao?"

Gu Ting didn't answer, but asked her back: "Do you want to go back to Rongguo Mansion?"

"I don't want to." Jiang Jinshu said truthfully.

Gu Ting laughed when he heard this: "Then don't move."

Jiang Jinshu frowned: "I'm worried that Zhifu Yao is unhappy and will trip you up in the future."

Yao Zhifu may be worried about Zhangtai and dare not retaliate openly, but he secretly uses methods that cannot be guarded against.

"He didn't dare, and he didn't have a chance." Gu Ting patiently explained: "The teacher mentioned Yao Zhifu to me. Yao Jin is a poor student, and the family has no help. It is thanks to his mentor and the Yue family that he can go so far. But his own ability is mediocre, and it is not easy to become a magistrate of the fourth rank. This year is the third year of prefect Yao's term of office, and his political achievements are mediocre. That's why I rushed to the doctor to come to you in a hurry."

"You know a lot." Jiang Jinshu was a little dazed, and the people who met each other day and night seemed to suddenly become strange across the Zhang Shuan.

The brows twitched, and he got used to it very quickly.

"I know a lot now. If you don't know anything about Jin Shu in the future, you can ask me directly!" Gu Ting smiled, with a hint of foolishness.

"Then I'll go to Mrs. Yao tomorrow and refuse the matter." Although Mrs. Yao will definitely look ugly, but this matter itself is concerned about Gu Ting, and Gu Ting has expressed her position, so she doesn't need to make things difficult for herself.

"You don't need to refuse directly, just say that you discussed with me. The two families haven't moved around for more than ten years, so it's not good to visit the door rashly. I plan to find a suitable opportunity and then visit in person, otherwise it will be too insincere." Gu Ting's mind turned quickly. , Immediately gave a plan.

When Jiang Jinshu heard it, the words were good, and she added more embellishments, even if the prefect's wife was unhappy, she could not be sure whether she was sincere or not.

"Okay, just do as you want."

Under Jiang Jinshu's urging, Gu Ting went to bed early to rest.

Since the two got married, except for the wedding night, every time except Jiang Jinshu slept, Gu Ting slept with a quilt for each of them.After lying down, Jiang Jinshu helped Gu Ting tuck up the quilt and blew on the lamp.

In the darkness, Gu Ting opened his eyes and did not sleep.

The night had little effect on Jiang Jinshu's eyesight, not to mention that Gu Ting was sleeping beside her and staring at her.

"Why don't you sleep?"

"Jinshu, aren't we husband and wife? Why do we sleep separately? I heard people say that husband and wife both sleep under the same quilt."

"...Is it not good to be like this now?" Considering that Gu Ting is no longer stupid, she can no longer say words to coax the child.What's more, Gu Ting's question tonight was certainly not on a whim, and he had already been confused about the appointment.

Gu Ting's voice was muffled, with a bit of grievance: "No, I want to sleep with you in the same bed."

Jiang Jinshu's heart skipped a beat, and after confirming again and again that he had no other intentions, she said, "I'm afraid of heat."

Gu Ting didn't make a sound for a while, just when he thought he was asleep, he heard him say: "Then sleep together when it's cold, I'll warm you up."

He responded perfunctorily, always feeling that Gu Ting was a little suspicious.

It must have been overthinking. Gu Ting has been a fool for 18 years, and it took only a month for him to recover. It is not easy to think and deal with things in an orderly manner.He was originally a simple and pure person. Even if he wanted to become bad, he had to have an incentive. He went back and forth between the hospital and Zhang's house every day. Who could influence him?

It is estimated that it is still a child's heart, and it will not be so easy to get rid of it in a while.

The next day, I sent Gu Ting out, and asked Uncle Xu to deliver a post at the magistrate's yamen.The big family pays attention to it, and it is necessary to post a post in advance when visiting the house to show respect, and it is also convenient for the host to decide whether to meet the guest or not.The magistrate's wife is definitely willing to see Jiang Jinshu, but Jiang Jinshu is not eager.

The magistrate's wife was really impatient, she didn't wait for the next day, and let her go there in the afternoon.

Jiang Jinshu went.

After seeing Mrs. Yao, he said the preconceived words: "...that's what my fourth master meant. I think fourth master's concerns are justified. Although they are relatives, they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so why don't you rush to visit? What's more, it's very rude to send things without anyone. We are juniors, and we are so contemptuous. What do we think of our grandparents? So we can only decline Madam's kindness. Madam, don't worry, my fourth master said Well, if he gets the chance, he will personally visit his grandfather's house, and we have no contact for so many years, so we juniors have to apologize."

Mrs. Yao thought that the matter would be sure, but who knew...

The originally enthusiastic complexion became pale, but she didn't say anything, she rubbed her temples to look tired, and Jiang Jinshu said goodbye tactfully.

"I'm tired for a while, so I can't entertain you. Madam Ting, please forgive me. Han Lu, send Madam Ting off for me." Madam Yao's attitude was calm, but she was still polite.

After Jiang Jinshu left, Mrs. Yao didn't hide anymore, she was full of anger and anxious: "I really don't know how to flatter you!"

If the other party's words are reasonable, you can't tear your face and be aggressive, right?The Gu family and the Jiang family don't need to be looked down upon, but they have to be afraid of the Zhang family.

Mrs. Yao was angry for a long time, and then her anger gradually subsided, she sighed: "If the matter is not done, it's fine with the master, I'm afraid someone will stir the fire."

The accompanying room, Peng Li's family, persuaded her a few words, and said, "Ma'am, do you want to keep an eye on Aunt Bai?"

Mrs. Yao thought for a moment, then ordered: "Madam Ting's visit, I'll leave a message to her."

As she spoke, Mrs. Yao grabbed the tea bowl beside her and threw it on the ground.

Peng Lijia was startled, and saw the viciousness flashing across her eyes.

Mrs. Yao's face was expressionless, as if she wasn't the one who threw the teacup.The little girl cleaned up the broken pieces of porcelain on the floor, and brought tea again, and Mrs. Yao held the tea in her hand to taste carefully.

Mrs. Yao's accompanying room is Mrs. Yao's companion in Peng Li's house, and she was his personal servant girl when she was not married. After decades of getting along, how could she not know her nature.Besides, if you can be the mistress in the magistrate's inner house and rule over a whole courtyard, can you be a Bodhisattva?

"Ma'am, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly."
