Chapter 190 191. Household Servant

She wore a red palace brocade robe, and her voice was like a soft oriole singing. She wore a jade crown and a rhinoceros hairpin, and her phoenix hairpins were golden.

Her skin is fine and even, her cheeks are soft and rosy, her face is full of spring feelings. She is too shy to enter the mandarin duck quilt, and the two of them are deeply in love under the orchid cream.

When they opened their eyes again, their eyes met. Before Jin Qianqian even had time to feel shy, Gu Wenheng started laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

"You finally belong to me," Gu Wenheng felt that the world was complete when he got what he wanted.

Jin Qianqian glanced at the light coming in through the window and reminded quietly, "Should we get up?"

After making such a big noise yesterday and asking for water several times, Jin Qianqian just felt a little uncomfortable.

However, the two of them had been getting along like an old married couple, so Jin Qianqian adjusted to the situation quickly.

Gu Wenheng looked at her still pale face and knew that he had been reckless yesterday. He said with some distress, "It's okay. You are the oldest in this family. Take some rest."

Jin Qianqian was really exhausted, she closed her eyes, "Then I'll rest for a while, call me after half an hour."

Looking at Jin Qianqian who had fallen into deep sleep again, Gu Wenheng carefully turned over, picked up the robe that had fallen on the ground, and put it on.

"Master, you're awake." Seeing the door open, Hong Tianbao hurried over.

"Tell everyone to keep their noises down and get me some water to wash up." Gu Wenheng waved his hand to send the people away, then turned and walked to the study room nearby.

When Jin Qianqian woke up again, she immediately covered her rumbling stomach.

She struggled to sit up and wanted to call for help, but Qingmei, who heard the noise, asked quietly outside the door, "Madam, are you awake?"

"Come in!"

Qingmei gently pushed open the door and saw Jin Qianqian had already put on her clothes.

"What time is it now?"

"It's almost noon," Qingmei walked over to help tidy up her dress, "Madam, are you hungry? The kitchen is always ready. Do you want them to bring it over?"

Jin Qianqian, "Where's the Master?"

"The Master is still in the study. Do you want me to go find him?"

Jin Qianqian shook her head. "Forget it. Let's wash up first! Tell them to set the table."

Not long after Qingmei left, Gu Wenheng came in and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Jin Qianqian held her belly and rolled her eyes at him, "That's right, if it hadn't been protesting, I would have been able to sleep until the night.

Didn't I tell you to call me in half an hour? Why didn't you call me? "

Gu Wenheng chuckled, "It's good for your body to rest for a while. If you hadn't woken up by yourself just now, I was going to wake you up."

Jin Qianqian glanced at the unfamiliar maids and asked, "Where are they from?"

Gu Wenheng, "These are the servants I asked Prince Bai to bring from Shangjing. There are also two housekeepers who came with them."

"Is it okay to recognize the master halfway through?" Jin Qianqian still understood the rules of the game. People like this who have been trained by a big family must be loyal to the master family in their bones.

Gu Wenheng lowered his voice and said, "These are servants whose families were confiscated and exterminated. Most big families might be taboo about using them, but they are just right for us."

Jin Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great. There are some things we still don't know. We can learn something from these people."

At the same time, for the first time in her heart, she felt a little wary of the rising imperial power. In this dynasty where the emperor wanted his subjects to die, and the subjects had to die, there was a sense of crisis.

Jin Qianqian happened to see Hong Tianbao and his men coming over with food, and pointed at him unhappily, "You've really learned how to be cunning, you acted so convincingly. I was almost scared to death by you yesterday."

Hong Tianbao immediately smiled and said, "Madam, you don't know that I mustered up all my courage to take this trip.

But don't worry, the sisters have punished me. I won't dare to do it again next time."

Hearing Hong Tianbao's plea for mercy, Jin Qianqian became curious and asked, "Tell me about it."

Gu Wenheng first filled a bowl of chicken soup for her, "Come, drink a bowl of soup first."

Hong Tianbao didn't dare to continue acting nice here. He secretly glanced at Gu Wenheng and quickly retreated.

Jin Qianqian filled her stomach until she was seven-tenths full before putting down her bowl and chopsticks.

"I really didn't take a good look at this courtyard yesterday. Would you like to introduce it to you?" After filling her stomach, Jin Qianqian felt free again.

Gu Wenheng took her hand and introduced the courtyard to her.

Compared to the place they rented before, this yard is not only in a much better location, but also two or three times larger in area.

After a tour, Jin Qianqian once again saw these ancient manors. She didn't expect that these three courtyards could be decorated with small bridges and flowing water.

"It's great to have such a big yard. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get used to our small house when I go back." The more Jin Qianqian looked at it, the more she liked it. This standard southern architecture was really to her liking.

Gu Wenheng, "If you can't get used to it, let's move."

Jin Qianqian revealed two deep dimples, "Husband, you are so domineering!"

"You naughty girl," Gu Wenheng couldn't help but poke her rice nest when he saw it, "Our yard is really small. When we bring so many people back, there won't be enough space for them.

After the New Year, I will write a letter and ask Xiao Dongzi to pay attention to it. "

Jin Qianqian looked at these pavilions and towers and said, "I guess our small county doesn't have such a large courtyard and such a design, so let's not embarrass Xiao Dongzi.

If there is really no room for it, then just buy a smaller one nearby and make do with it.”

At this point, Jin Qianqian glanced at Gu Wenheng and said, "I'm going to take part in the provincial examination next year. If I can't do it, I'll go to Daocheng to buy it!"

Jin Qianqian is still willing to purchase more properties so that she will not feel anxious until she has houses and land.

&

When it was time for dinner, Jin Qianqian discovered that even Hong Da and Huang Ying were brought to the yard by Hong Tianbao.

"What about home?" Jin Qianqian was unable to change her words immediately. Although the house was rented, she also felt a sense of belonging there.

"We will all live here from now on, and we will hand over the house over there to the landlord when the lease expires." Gu Wenheng thought of his nephew who still lived there, so he didn't think about giving up the house and letting them continue to live there.

Anyway, the rent has been paid by the beginning of spring, and by sending the man back to his hometown, he can be considered to have done his duty as an uncle to his family.

Jin Qianqian looked at Hong Tianbao thoughtfully, "You brought Huang Pozi and the others here, and the Le family didn't ask anything?"

Hong Tianbao, "It seems that the young master of the Le family didn't go back yesterday. My father said that they went to the Song family to celebrate the festival."

Jin Qianqian glanced at Gu Wenheng and said, "I was at home yesterday morning and didn't hear them talk about it."

Gu Wenheng had long lost hope in Gu Le's family. "Let him be! He will be back in two months."

Everyone understood the implication, and naturally moved on from the topic.
