Master Gu said to Gu Quan, "Go to Zhilan Courtyard for me and ask the second girl to write an article on the theme of "A harmonious family brings prosperity."
Gu Quan was stunned for a moment. What did the master mean by suddenly doing this?
Lord Gu did not explain.
It's good that Gu Jiu is gradually showing his talents.
But they still need to be warned, otherwise they will be ignorant of the immensity of the world at such a young age.
Lord Gu had already learned the whole story of what happened in the upper room today from the servants.
As a junior, Gu Jiu appears to be submissive but secretly opposes the Xie family. This behavior must not be tolerated.
Lord Gu doesn't want anyone in the backyard to cause trouble.
A harmonious family brings prosperity to all, this is his true thought deep in his heart.
In Lord Gu's heart, he hopes that Gu Jiu can show his intelligence and talent while being respectful to the Xie family, so as to reduce conflicts and disputes in the backyard.
As a junior, Gu Jiu should be respectful and patient with the Xie family. It was just a trivial matter, so why did he have to stir up trouble?
Girls should be steady and generous.
She is too smart and scheming, which, in Lord Gu's opinion, has lost the innocence and cuteness of a girl.
Not good, not good.
If Gu Jiu knew what Lord Gu was thinking, he would definitely complain harshly.
On the one hand, we require girls to be innocent, lovely, respectful and patient; on the other hand, we require them to be steady, generous, strategic and resourceful. How can we not do that?
You want the horse to run, but you don't give it grass to eat, and you don't allow it to find food on its own. You might as well let it starve to death.
You get to have your cake and eat it too! How wonderful it is for you!
Xie plotted to murder Gu Jiu's life and schemed against his marriage, but Lord Gu still asked Gu Jiu to be submissive and patient.
Gu Jiu: Haha!
I have never suffered such a great injustice in my two lifetimes.
Absolutely unbearable.
Gu Quan thought about it and understood what Lord Gu meant.
He bowed and accepted the order, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Master Gu pondered for a moment and said, "Let the second young lady take good care of her health and write the article slowly. There is no rush."
"I understand. I'll go to Zhilan Courtyard to see the second young lady right away."
Lord Gu waved his hand, and Gu Quan bowed and retreated, heading straight for Zhilan Courtyard.
…
Inside Zhilan Courtyard, Gu Jiu was practicing calligraphy. This was his daily homework, and even thunder could not interrupt him.
Even though he was tired after traveling all day and fighting with Xie, Gu Jiu still insisted on practicing calligraphy and tempering his character.
After writing on five sheets of rice paper, Gu Jiu stopped writing and stretched his wrist.
Qingmei brought a bowl of watermelon juice and placed it in front of Gu Jiu.
"According to the young lady's instructions, Qingzhu specially made watermelon juice. Please try it."
Gu Jiu nodded, picked up the bowl, and took a bite, "Not bad!"
Qingmei laughed when she heard that, "Miss, I like it. There's watermelon in the kitchen. I'll ask Qingzhu to make another bowl when the time comes."
Gu Jiu said: "One bowl is enough. Drinking too much is bad for your stomach."
Gu Jiu was in poor health, so he didn't dare to overeat. He only tried many things to taste them.
Xiao Cui came back from outside and said, "My dear young lady, the master went to the upper room and stayed for about a quarter of an hour before leaving. I paid close attention and the sisters in the upper room seemed very happy."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, then casually said, "It seems that the master and the mistress have reconciled."
Qingmei became worried when she heard this.
"The master and the mistress have reconciled. What should we do?"
Gu Jiu put down the bowl and smiled, "What are you afraid of? This is a matter of time. Do you really think the master will always leave his wife alone?"
The matter involving Xie Xian was so serious, but the master only scolded his wife a few words.
It is conceivable that the master did not really want to quarrel with his wife, but just wanted to take this opportunity to remind her to know when to stop doing things.
Today's incident can be regarded as an opportunity, which provides the master with a way out and allows him to reconcile with his wife.
The master himself knew that if he and his wife were to clash, the entire household would be in a state of panic. Over time, this would be detrimental to the peace of the household. Without a fundamental conflict of interest, reconciliation was inevitable.
Qingmei was still worried, "If the master and the mistress reconcile, will the mistress take the opportunity to cause trouble and cause trouble for the girl?"
Gu Jiu pondered it carefully. "Based on my understanding of Madam, she has just reconciled with the Master and should not be able to care about me for the time being. She must first be busy consolidating her position and suppressing Aunt Bai. Only then will she have time to cause trouble for Zhilan Courtyard."
However, Gu Jiu always felt that Xie was holding back some big move that had not been used.
A careful review of Xie's experiences over the past twenty years reveals that he is not a simple person.
Gu Jiu would not be so arrogant as to think that he could defeat the Xie family with just a few tricks.
Therefore, Gu Jiu was very curious about what big move Xie was planning.
She was also looking forward to it, so Xie quickly used her big move so that she could see it for herself.
"Miss, Butler Gu Quan wants to see you." Jiang Yan reported at the door.
Gu Jiu said, "Please let Butler Gu in."
"yes!"
Soon, Gu Quan was invited into the study on the east side.
"I have met the second young lady."
"Butler Gu is too polite. Qingmei, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Second Miss."
Gu Quan sat down on the chair and then took the initiative to speak, "I was ordered to visit the second young lady today. The master asked her to write an article about the prosperity of a harmonious family. He also told her to take good care of her health and not to rush the writing. Take your time."
Gu Jiu smiled knowingly and lowered her head slightly. Her father was warning her.
She said to Gu Quan, "Thank you for taking the trouble to come here in person. My father has been so worried about me these days.
Please ask Butler Gu to tell my father that I will definitely write an article seriously about how a harmonious family brings prosperity.
It's been hot lately, and I'm feeling weak, so it's inconvenient for me to go out. I'm just staying in my room, reading and thinking."
Gu Quan laughed when he heard this, "Second Miss is thoughtful. The master will definitely be very happy with Second Miss's attitude."
Gu Jiu said, "I am unfilial and always make father worry. I also want to share his worries, but I am small and weak. Please tell father that I will not let him down."
"That's very good. I have to hurry back to report, so I'll take my leave now."
Gu Jiu hurriedly stood up and said, "Qingmei, please see Butler Gu off for me."
Gu Quan waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, Second Miss. Goodbye!"
Qingmei sent Gu Quan away, returned to the room, and looked at Gu Jiu with a worried look on her face.
"Miss, what does the master mean by this? I don't quite understand."
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "Master is warning me."
"ah!"
Qingmei was frightened, fearing that Gu Jiu would no longer be liked by Lord Gu from now on.
Gu Jiu added, "Don't worry, it's okay. The master wants peace in the inner house. He scolded the wife before, so now it's my turn."
It’s a pity that Lord Gu’s idea is destined to fail.
There were irreconcilable contradictions between her and Xie, and it was impossible for the two of them to truly coexist peacefully. Sooner or later, a greater conflict would erupt.
Gu Jiu looked calm and prepared to continue practicing calligraphy.
Qingmei was so worried, "Girl, what will we do next?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly and said, "Of course I will close the door and refuse visitors, and take good care of my health."
The body is the capital of revolution, so she must take care of her body as soon as possible.
"Where's the wife?"
Gu Jiu said, "Don't worry about Madam. Qingmei, don't you believe me?"
As he spoke, Gu Jiu raised his head and looked at Qingmei.
Qingmei shook her head repeatedly and said quickly, "Of course I trust you, young lady."
"I said it would be alright, do you believe me?"
Qingmei hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily, "I believe you. Even if something does happen, I believe that with your skills, you will be able to resolve it."
Gu Jiu laughed. "Then you have nothing to worry about. Come, grind some ink for me. I still have five pages to write."
Qingmei picked up the ink stick and began to grind the ink. She said, "You are really hardworking, even harder than a serious scholar."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "How can I not work hard? A good life will not fall from the sky. We have to work hard to have a good life. I have to seize the time now and work hard. It can also kill time."
"I can't argue with you, young lady. But you should at least take care of yourself."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know my own body."
