The news that Huang Qubing had a quarrel with Princess Pingyang and ran away barefoot soon reached Princess Fuya's ears.
Princess Fu Ya exchanged a glance with Gu Jiu.
"I will go take care of the household affairs first, Madam, please do as you please."
"Your Highness has things to do, and I should go back."
Gu Jiu stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
Princess Fuya tried to persuade her, "You've made such a tiring trip, and in the end you only had two cups of tea. This is not the way to entertain guests. I've asked the kitchen to prepare some wine and food, and we'll have a drink together later. If you're impatient for tea, let the maid lead the way to the garden. The garden is quite beautiful this season."
Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Gu Jiu had no choice but to stay for dinner.
Princess Fuya hurried to the backyard to find Princess Pingyang, and at the same time ordered her servants to find someone to bring Huang Qubing.
You little bastard, you're always causing trouble. Do you want to piss her off to death?
When Princess Fuya saw Princess Pingyang, she got straight to the point, "Don't just cry. What's going on? He just woke up, why are you arguing with him? If there's anything, can't you wait a few days to talk about it?"
Princess Pingyang kept crying, which made Princess Fuya furious.
…
Gu Jiu came to the garden.
In early autumn, the autumn heat is raging and the weather is still very hot.
The scenery of Princess Fuya's garden is indeed beautiful.
Gu Jiu was in a good mood and had the rare leisure time to enjoy the scenery.
Xu Yousi was sharp-eyed and said, "Madam, the one on the other side of the lake seems to be the young master."
Gu Jiu looked in the direction of Xu Yousi's finger, and she not only saw Yu Ge'er, but also Huang Qubing.
The uncle and nephew sat by the lake and soaked their feet.
He rolled up his trouser legs and had a lot of fun.
Xu Yousi asked, "Madam, do you want to call the young master over?"
"Don't disturb them. I'll just sit in the pavilion and watch them from a distance."
"Yes, sir!"
The gentle breeze brought a hint of coolness.
Yu Ge'er and Huang Qubing had a great time.
The uncle and nephew chatted freely.
"There was a storybook on the last episode of Life Show about an old father dividing his family property. I read it and thought it was very good."
Huang Qubing said, "Oh, you're talking about that. I remember now. That author submitted many manuscripts to Life Show, all using pseudonyms. He didn't leave any address, only an account number at the Shaofu Bank."
Yu Ge'er's eyes lit up, "Do you remember what that author's first manuscript was?"
Huang Qubing frowned and thought for a moment, "I remember it was something like hitting with a stick?"
"Da Lang beats Ba Pi Jiu with a stick." Yu Ge'er said the name of the manuscript in one breath, his eyelashes fluttering like two palm-leaf fans.
Huang Qubing patted his head and said, "You remember it very clearly. You really like the articles written by this pen name Mao Lu."
Yu Ge'er nodded heavily, "I like it, I like it very much."
Because he is the thatched cottage, and the thatched cottage is him.
Hahaha……
Yu Ge'er was secretly happy and very proud.
In particular, he sat next to Huang Qubing in the thatched cottage as the author, but Huang Qubing did not know his identity.
Huang Qubing laughed. "It's no surprise you like his articles. Mao Lu's articles are simple and straightforward, and sometimes a bit childish. I think Mao Lu is not very old."
Yu Ge'er's face fell. "No, it's not. I think this thatched cottage is very creative, and the stories he writes are very profound. Maybe he is the pen name of a minister in the court. For example, the story he wrote about the old father dividing the family property in the last issue, don't you think it is very profound?"
Huang Qubing laughed. "You're just a kid, no wonder you think his writing has so much depth. For example, the idea of the old father dividing the family property is a good one, but it's too naive. Reality isn't that perfect."
Yu Ge'er snorted, "That's because you have little experience."
Brat, he is not well-informed.
Huang Qubing bent his finger and lightly tapped Yu Ge'er on the head.
Yu Ge'er covered his forehead and said, "You adults can't win over children, so you only know this trick."
"Hahaha, you must have been beaten up by your dad a lot."
Yu Ge'er turned his head and stopped talking to Huang Qubing.
Huang Qubing laughed even more wildly.
Yu Ge'er felt very wronged.
Bad people only know how to make fun of him.
"Are you really going to the Shaofu?" Yu Ge'er suddenly asked.
Huang Qubing was stunned. "You know about this too?"
Yu Ge'er nodded, "I know a lot of things."
"Madam Zhao told you?"
Yu Ge'er did not deny it.
Huang Qubing touched Yu Ge'er's head and said, "It seems that Madam Zhao doesn't treat you as a child."
Yu Ge'er said seriously: "I am not a child, I have grown up."
"Then who was it that said, 'Adults can't win over children, so they just use this trick'? You yourself admit that you are a child."
Yu Ge'er was very depressed. He dug a hole and jumped into it himself.
Learn from your mistakes and be careful when speaking next time.
He looked at Huang Qubing and said, "What will happen to the Life Show if you go to the Shaofu? Can the Life Show continue without you? Even if it can continue, will it be as interesting as it is now?"
Huang Qubing said solemnly: "So I have to find a very capable person to succeed me, so that the Life Show can continue for a long time and become better and better."
Yu Ge'er asked him: "Are you comforting me?"
Huang Qubing chuckled twice, "This young master never comforts others."
After saying that, Huang Qubing gave Yu Ge'er a very proud look.
Yu Ge'er grinned, revealing his gums which were missing a tooth.
Huang Qubing seemed to have discovered a new world, "You are so old, and you are still changing your teeth."
Yu Ge'er quickly covered his mouth with a look of vigilance.
Huang Qubing almost died of laughter.
He didn't expect that the mature Yu Ge'er also had such a childish side.
From a distance, I heard the servants calling Huang Qubing.
Yu Ge'er bumped into him and said, "Someone called you, do you want to respond?"
Huang Qubing shook his head, "Don't worry about them."
He had already seen Gu Jiu sitting in the pavilion.
"I'm going to talk to Madam Zhao. Hurry up and put on your shoes and come over here. Don't get your clothes wet, or Madam Zhao will beat you up."
"My mother won't beat me."
"Oh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will really beat you up."
After saying this, Huang Qubing ran away very fast, laughing triumphantly, feeling very happy that he had successfully bullied Yu Ge'er.
I didn't know he could run so fast without shoes.
He ran to the pavilion and grinned at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing. "Sit down, Her Royal Highness the Princess is sending people everywhere to look for you. Ah Qing, go tell the servants in the Princess's Mansion that Master Huang is talking to me in the pavilion."
Aqing took the order and left.
Huang Qubing was dissatisfied, "I told them what to do, but they just worried about nothing."
Gu Jiu didn't play any roundabout tricks and asked directly, "I heard that you had a quarrel with Princess Pingyang and ran out without even wearing shoes. What happened? I thought you two had a good relationship."
Huang Qubing wiped his face and said, "Before we had the argument today, I also thought we had a good relationship. However, I was just overthinking it."
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow. "Such a big contradiction? Did you hide some private money?"
Huang Qubing smiled bitterly, "If it's just to hide some private money, then it's easy."
"Oh!" Gu Jiu became more and more curious.
Huang Qubing hesitated and felt his whole body go numb under Gu Jiu's stare.
He threw his hands away, with a broken jar attitude, "Forget it, forget it, this matter has something to do with you, I should tell you."
"Does it have anything to do with me?" Gu Jiu was surprised.
Huang Qubing was a little embarrassed to speak, "Because my mother once said that heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, then she sent someone to invite you here, and she misunderstood."
Gu Jiu suddenly understood.
She frowned, feeling incredible, "She misunderstood you and me?"
Huang Qubing was embarrassed, ashamed and sorry, but he couldn't deny it and could only nod in agreement.
Gu Jiu smiled coldly, "Is she crazy?"
At this moment, Huang Qubing clearly felt the anger emanating from Gu Jiu.
"I have already explained it to her. She doesn't know the whole story, so she misunderstood." Huang Qubing did not forget to speak for Pingyang at this moment.
Gu Jiu laughed sarcastically, "Just because of a word from Her Royal Highness, she started to imagine wildly, mistakenly thinking that there was something unexplainable between you and me. Really... I didn't know before that she had such a rich imagination. She really dares to think."
Huang Qubing said hurriedly, "She didn't do it on purpose. It's mainly because she doesn't understand the situation. My mother and father kept it from her, so she had wild thoughts. If Madam wants to blame someone, just blame me."
"Of course you have a responsibility."
Gu Ji's eyes were cold and his tone was heavy. "This is your family affair. You can't even handle your family affairs properly. Not only did you quarrel with your husband and wife, but you also ran out barefoot and alarmed the whole mansion. What kind of family affairs are you handling? Who can be at ease if I hand over the Young Master's Mansion to you? Deal with the family affairs as soon as possible, and don't involve me in it. This is a conflict between you two, and I am simply suffering from it without any reason."
Tell Pingyang that even if she doesn't believe you, she should believe me. After so many years in the palace, how could she not know what kind of person I am? It's really disheartening that she doubts me just because of a single sentence. Please tell Her Royal Highness the Princess that I will not stay for dinner today. Now that you are well, take good care of yourself and quickly deal with the matter. Goodbye!
After saying that, Gu Jiu threw down a porcelain bottle, stood up and left.
Huang Qubing panicked, grabbed the porcelain bottle, and chased after Gu Jiu, "You can't leave!"
Gu Jiu didn't look back. "The medicine in the porcelain bottle is for your health. Take one pill every ten days with water. If you are worried, you can ask the imperial physician to check. Also, arrange the affairs of Wenqing Bookstore as soon as possible. As for the Shaofu, you have to take up the heavy responsibility in the shortest time. If you can't do it, then get out of here."
Gu Jiu left decisively.
With his trouser legs soaked, Yu Ge'er left the princess's mansion.
…
When Princess Fu Ya learned that Gu Jiu had left the house early, she was so angry that she gouged out her eyes at Huang Qubing and his wife Pingyang.
"It's one person being stupid, but it's really rare for both of them to be stupid. Is such a trivial matter worth arguing about? And they even dragged unrelated people into it."
It was obvious that Princess Fuya already knew the reason for the couple's quarrel.
Princess Pingyang felt embarrassed, regretful, and wronged. She lowered her head and dared not speak.
Huang Qubing smacked his head and said, "My son's brain is full of water. I'm going to take a nap."
Princess Fuya yelled at him, "You'd better clear the water out of your head."
Huang Qubing staggered and almost tripped over the threshold.
Princess Fuya glared at Princess Pingyang again. "What are you still standing there for? Go down and reflect on yourselves. Think carefully about how to mend your relationship with Madam Zhao. You're so amazing! You've even thought of putting the two of them together... I wouldn't even dare to think of it, but you're so bold."
Princess Pingyang was so ashamed that she covered her face and ran away.
