Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Gu Yanzhou always felt that she was scolding him for nothing...
Sometimes Song Siyun really felt that Gu Yanzhou was sick.
Always saying something incomprehensible.
She felt that she was sick too.
I can't help but think about what he said.
Through the screen, I looked at Gu Yanzhou who was sleeping outside.
In fact, it was very dark tonight, and she couldn't see anyone clearly. Only the tiny candlelight revealed his location.
I never noticed it before, but it seemed like the light was always on at the head of his bed when he slept.
On their wedding night, the candles burned brightly, so bright that she even slept under the covers, but he lay there carefree, not even a bit disgusted. It was the same when they were at the Song Mansion...
It seemed as if whenever he was around, the surroundings were always bright, even in the study, which was supposed to be kept away from fire, there were always candles...
Song Siyun thought silently, and had a bold guess in his mind——
Could it be that he is afraid of the dark?
In the dark night, she covered her mouth with her hands and smiled with her eyes curved, her face full of cunning, just like a fox in the forest.
Until she fell asleep, she didn't notice Gu Yanzhou dozing behind the screen.
After noticing that the gaze had disappeared, Gu Yanzhou slowly opened his eyes, looked at the beautiful figure behind the screen, and fell into deep thought.
He didn't know why he said that, nor did he understand why he was slapped for telling the truth, and he didn't understand why he wasn't angry.
Obviously, a man's face is worth a thousand gold...
Gu Yanzhou pondered in his heart, but still didn't understand.
After a while, I finally found an excuse——
He must have been used to being bullied by her since he was a child!
Even as I thought this, my eyes unconsciously darted to the side of her face. It took a long time before I looked away.
Have a good night's sleep.
At noon the next day, there was movement again in the main bedroom of Ruixue Pavilion.
The entire Ruixue Pavilion gradually came back to life.
There was a crowd of people in the small kitchen. Cui Yu instructed the maid to bring a basin of warm water and some warm goat's milk. After testing the water temperature, she led them inside.
As he walked, he turned around and ordered, "Breakfast can be served one after another. Oh, and don't forget the iced cheese over there. Madam doesn't have much appetite every morning, and she can barely eat after eating the iced cheese."
"Don't worry, Miss Cuiyu. We are very anxious." An old woman in the small kitchen responded hurriedly. As she spoke, she took the porcelain bowl of yogurt from the ice basin, wiped it clean, and put it in the white porcelain bowl holder beside her. She waved to a maid and asked her to take it in.
When Cui Yu entered the yard, Que Mei was combing her hair.
Hearing the noise, Song Siyun turned his head to look and extended his hand.
First rinse it with clean water, then soak it in goat's milk for a quarter of an hour. During this time, Cuiyu cleans her face and prepares her meals, while Quemei helps her with her makeup.
After a quarter of an hour, massage the remaining goat milk on your hands until it is absorbed and then wash your hands before eating.
By the time he sat down at the table, he was fully dressed.
During breakfast, Cui Yu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Miss, when the son-in-law left the house this morning, he told the family to prepare. Six days later, he will go to the other courtyard with His Majesty to escape the summer heat."
Song Siyun was a little surprised, "Is this settled?"
"It's settled," Cui Yu said with a faint smile, "My son-in-law said that His Majesty has granted us permission to go together. The eldest young lady should also..."
As he was speaking, a maid came to report that the eldest young master's wife had arrived.
He quickly put down the porcelain spoon, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and stood up to invite him. When he stood up, the person was already in front of him.
Seeing that she was still eating breakfast, he hurriedly apologized with his handkerchief in his hand. After she calmed down and spoke calmly, he said, "Ah Yun, you eat your meal. I have nothing to do here. I just want to take you to Jinxiufang to get some clothes tailored for you to escape the summer heat in six days."
"Cut clothes?" Song Siyun frowned, thinking of his mother's words about frugality after marriage, and thinking of the box of summer clothes he hadn't taken out yet, he could only refuse with a guilty conscience, "Sister-in-law, I have plenty of clothes, don't bother."
"Why would it be a hassle?" Yu Nanzhi moved closer and took her arm, winking at her with a gentle and playful smile. "How can a woman have too many clothes? It's just a matter of what you can use now and what you can't. Listen to me, go get a few more dresses made. A girl should have endless beautiful clothes to wear."
After saying this, he saw the girl in front of him hesitate for a moment, then blinked and asked, "Isn't this too wasteful?"
Yu Nanzhi was amused. He waved his hand and said proudly, "What's there to worry about with your own shop? Besides, our mansion doesn't lack this little money." As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel pity, "The Grand Tutor is so honest... You can indulge yourself in the future. We in the Gu Mansion don't lack money at all."
It was at this time that Song Siyun realized that her sister-in-law was the richest person in Dayuan!
Nowadays, most of Dayuan’s industries belong to the Yu family!
Living God of Wealth!
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Yu Nanzhi fiercely, took her arm, and said urgently: "Sister-in-law, the sooner the better, let's go now!"
When he went out, he asked the doorman to prepare two empty carriages in case of emergency.
As it turns out, it is indeed necessary to be prepared.
Yu Nanzhi loved to dress up, but her job as the head of the household kept her from showing off. She wanted to spend some time on her children, but she had no choice but to look after a frivolous boy like Wang Qing, who had a lot of kindness but nowhere to use it.
Now I finally have a sister-in-law. A few days ago, I tried to find out that she also loves dressing up, which gives me a good opportunity to show my talents.
Yu Nanzhi was indescribably excited all the way. She sat upright in the carriage, her handkerchief tightly twisted in her hand, the corners of her lips tensed.
Seeing her like this, Song Siyun, who was secretly observing her from the side, couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She was worried that she had agreed too quickly and scared her sister-in-law. In fact, she had already decided that she would pay for all the expenses today and would definitely not let her sister-in-law lose money.
The thought gradually came to him, and just as he was about to speak, he arrived at Jinxiufang. When the two of them got out of the car, he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will definitely not let you spend any money today."
Yu Nanzhi turned around when he heard her words and saw her serious face. He quickly explained with a smile: "Ah Yun, what are you talking about? Just have fun today."
Song Siyun smiled and didn't respond, thinking she was just being polite.
But after a while, when she saw the pile of ready-made clothes and colorful cloths in front of her, she realized that she was the one being polite.
"Sister-in-law, this..." She frowned and stared at the hill in front of her for a long time before choosing a word that would not erase her enthusiasm, "I'm alone, there are too many to wear."
"What are you afraid of?" The man in front of her, who was in high spirits, took a quick glance back at her, then took a piece of cloth and tried it on her, "This color really suits you, I want this one too."
As he turned his head to let the shopkeeper take note, he remembered what he had just said and continued, "If you can't wear them all, Yanzhou can wear them too."
Gu Yanzhou has this habit?
Song Siyun widened his eyes, his gaze slowly falling on the mountain of ready-made clothes beside him, and he was stunned for a long time.
One glance and you'll know she's thinking the wrong thing.
"What are you thinking about?" Yu Nanzhi chuckled and brought her back to her senses. He narrowed his eyes and said mischievously, "Yanzhou doesn't have that habit. I'm talking about these cloths. If there are a lot of leftover clothes after cutting clothes for you, you can make a few for Yanzhou as well. If there aren't many leftover clothes but only some scraps, you can make him a purse. As husband and wife, a purse is a good gift."
She was talking to herself, not noticing the twitching corners of Song Siyun's mouth.
After selecting the cloth, measuring the size, and deciding on the style of the clothes, Yu Nanzhi instructed them to hurry up and have the clothes delivered to the mansion for fitting within four days.
The people from Jinxiufang agreed to everything and repeatedly assured that the clothes would be delivered to Gu's house in four days. Only then did Yu Nanzhi turn around with satisfaction, pulled her hand, smiled mysteriously, and headed straight for Linglong Pavilion. "How can I buy clothes without buying matching jewelry? We need to buy everything now."
"Sister-in-law, my dressing box is full of jewelry and can't hold them all." Song Siyun came out helplessly and tried to dissuade her.
But how can the kindness accumulated over so many years be wasted so easily?
Yu Nanzhi chose to ignore it and just said, "It's almost there, let's see if there's anything that suits our taste."
Although she said so, after entering Linglong Pavilion, any hairpins and step-shakes that she looked at or touched for a second longer were picked up by Yu Nanzhi with a wave of his hand.
Song Siyun was so frightened that he quickly retracted his gaze and dared not fly around anymore.
She didn't look, but Yu Nanzhi started to move. She patiently compared them one by one, and soon she had packed another basket. Even Gu Yanzhou was lucky enough to get a lot of hairpins and crowns.
I thought that was enough, but before they even left Linglong Pavilion, Yu Nanzhi started making plans to go to Qiuzhuangxie to check out the new rouge. She said the same thing again: "Just take a look. It's a good opportunity for Ah Yun to give me some feedback. If there are any shortcomings, we can improve them."
I really believed her lies!
When the shop assistant came out again with boxes of different sizes, looking at the three full carriages, Song Siyun sighed to the sky, tears streaming down his face.
In the past, the only word in the capital was that Madam Yu of the Gu Mansion was gentle and capable, and never harsh on her servants. No one had ever mentioned her enthusiasm for buying clothes?!
Song Siyun lowered his eyes slightly to look at his faintly trembling calves, feeling miserable.
I touched my empty stomach and felt even worse after thinking that I only had breakfast this morning.
When he looked up at the three full carriages, he felt as if the sky was falling.
Standing like a puppet in front of Qiuzhuang's slanted door, looking at Yu Nanzhi who was still eagerly asking the driver to slow down and not to damage the things, he couldn't help but sigh: It's great, how can she be so energetic?
When Yu Nanzhi turned around, he met her dull and lifeless eyes, and instantly thought of the carriage that had just left.
All three cars have been sent away...are they...going to walk back?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he hurried out. While holding Song Siyun's hand and comforting her embarrassedly, he told Qiu Zhuangxie's men to prepare the car.
When the two returned home, Gu Yansheng was directing the unloading of the carriage. Seeing them return, he stepped forward to help them up and said with a smile, "Why did you buy so much?"
"I couldn't control myself for a moment." Yu Nanzhi held his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.
I know she has always loved to dress up, but she has been suppressed for many years due to the appearance of the Gu Mansion. When she was looking forward to her lover, she hoped it would be a girl who could dress her up, but she didn't expect it to be a boy. She had to suppress her enthusiasm, and now she finally looked forward to someone who could dress up.
Thinking of this, he lowered his voice and asked, "Did you scare your sister-in-law?"
Hearing this, Yu Nanzhi tilted his head to look at Song Siyun, whose face was dull and eyes were lifeless. After pondering for a while, he felt a little guilty: "Probably... No."
As he was speaking, he suddenly saw that person's eyes light up. Looking over, he saw it was Gu Yanzhou.
He must have just returned from a meeting in the palace and was still wearing court attire.
"Gu Yanzhou!"
She had never been so eager to see him as she was now. As soon as he stuck his head out, Song Siyun used up her last bit of strength to leap over. She grabbed his hand without regard for etiquette, leaned most of her body against him, and threatened in a low voice, "If you dare to push me away, you'll be dead!"
His instinctively clenched hand paused, and he silently pulled it out from under his sleeve, tilting his head to look at the fierce, baring teeth in his arms. His eyebrows raised slightly, mitigating the coldness and revealing a hint of teasing.
Even if he didn't say anything, Song Siyun could guess what he was going to say, which was nothing more than singing a different tune: So what if I get rid of it?
Thinking of this, he covered it with his other hand, holding it tightly, and continued to threaten: "Your Majesty has always hoped that you and I would put aside our hostility and make peace. If you throw me away in the street, it will only make me feel bad, but it will make His Majesty feel worse."
Seeing that he remained indifferent after she finished speaking, his eyes just looked at her indifferently, as if he could see through all her tricks.
"Okay." Song Siyun gritted his teeth, lowered his brows and admitted defeat softly, "I've been shopping for clothes with my sister-in-law all day today. My legs hurt so much that I can't even stand. If you don't want to help me, just get rid of me."
Then she glared at him with her eyes wide open, "I was worried that you would be embarrassed to go to another courtyard to escape the summer heat, so I bought you several sets of clothes."
Facing her stubborn eyes, Gu Yanzhou always felt that she was calling him an ungrateful person.
He lowered his eyes to look at the person in front of him, feeling the warmth on the back of his palm gradually moving away, and suddenly he found an excuse to help.
"Everything is for your Majesty's peace of mind."
"What else?" Song Siyun retorted, and the next moment he felt the epidemic on his body and fell to the ground.
His hands instinctively grasped the nearest branch, and a cry of surprise escaped his throat.
"What are you doing!" She looked around and heard passersby whispering and teasing, and then met the eyes of her eldest brother and sister-in-law. She couldn't help but lower her head in shame, and her whole body was like a cooked pot in his arms, too embarrassed to face anyone. "I asked you to help, but this is not the way to help. You just need to lend me a hand."
Looking at her rosy cheeks, I suddenly felt in a good mood.
Hearing this, he just said, "Oh."
