Chapter 608 Chapter 610
Ming Nian ignored him and walked out of the counter quickly, heading towards the door with a smile on her face.
Wang Li also saw the visitors at this time. Prefect Gu walked in with several other officials.
“My lord, you are here.
Shall I arrange a private room for you, or would you like to dine with your wife?"
"Madam is here too?" Gu Wenheng just finished his work and came here to have a meal. He really didn't know that Jin Qianqian was here today.
Ming Nian looked at the adults behind him and said with a smile, "Yes, the ladies are all upstairs. Do you want me to go over and inform them?"
Gu Wenheng looked back at He Gaofei and the others, and found that they were also surprised, so he smiled and said, "Our families don't have so many rules, and since we happened to meet, let's have a meal together.
Please ask the ladies, and if it is convenient, we will go there later."
He had to inform them in advance. If he brought people in so rashly, Jin Qianqian would not have any objection, but he could not guarantee the others.
Ming Nian said, "Yes, the adults please go to the private room next door to rest first, I will go and ask first."
"I didn't expect that we would run into each other," He Gaofei said with a smile, stroking his beard, "What a coincidence."
He knew that his wife would go to see Madam Gu today, but he didn't expect that they would meet here.
Gu Wenheng, "Now it depends on whether the ladies will be so kind as to take us in. Otherwise, we can only stay in this small box."
Although the private room they were in was not bad, it was in no way comparable to the private room specially reserved by Jin Qianqian.
Hearing Gu Wenheng's teasing, several adults also laughed and joked, "Today, it depends on whether the ladies are willing to give us food."
"If you don't want to eat, what will you do?"
As they were talking and laughing, the door was pushed open and several ladies were standing at the door, looking at them with smiles.
"I think the ladies will be reluctant," Lu Shenggen said quickly, "You are enjoying the good life with Madam Gu, you can't leave us behind."
Gu Wenheng, "Lord Lu, what you said is interesting. When have you ever been hungry following me?"
Lu Shenggen smiled at him flatteringly, "Of course I won't be hungry. It's rare to meet here, so let's get together. There's no need for us to have different opinions."
He Gaofei, "..." Now he gets angry with anyone who tells him that Lu Shenggen is an honest guy.
Wu Yichen, "..." I underestimated Lord Lu. Hearing what he said, the relationship between them was instantly brought closer. It was much more straightforward than if he said nice things ten or a hundred times.
Gu Wenheng, "Since we are a family, let's all be more relaxed and don't be restrained."
As the host, Jin Qianqian naturally spoke up, "Please don't just stand here. We came here specially to invite you. Come over. The dishes are ready to be served."
Gu Wenheng took the lead, holding Jin Qianqian's hand, and walked directly to the private room opposite.
"How long have you been here?"
"Not long ago, I was just chatting when I heard you guys were here."
"Have you ordered yet?"
"I just came over and asked Lichun to prepare a few more dishes. If there is anything you want to eat later, ask them to add more."
The few couples who stayed behind followed behind silently, holding each other's arms.
I don’t understand why they still have such a good relationship even though they are already an old couple.
Officials like them, although they don't have many wives and concubines, they still have one or two concubines in their houses.
It's rare to find a backyard as quiet as Lord Gu's.
Mrs. He and the others were envious, so the people standing next to them were glared at.
He Gaofei and the others looked at each other secretly and smiled bitterly in their hearts. They knew that there would be a few more days of unrest in the future.
What they have at home is indeed not what they want. It was all arranged by the ladies. Now they are holding on to these old accounts.
There is only one benefit of leaving office. If you don't see it, your wife won't compare herself with others.
When they saw Gu Wenheng pulling out a stool and helping Jin Qianqian sit down, they suddenly felt a pain in their teeth and at the same time felt several burning gazes.
You don't even need to look to know what this means. Several people gritted their teeth, followed Gu Wenheng's example, pulled out the stools, and waited for the ladies to sit down.
If they didn't do it now, they would have to stay in the study again when they went back tonight.
Although Mrs. He and the others were seated, they still did not feel comfortable. After all, this was just copying someone else's plan and it was not something they could think of and do.
The delicious food on the table seemed like chewing wax to them, as the two people sitting opposite them were showing their affection all the time.
They peeled shrimps and picked crabs, served tea and water, and served us meticulously.
This also allowed them to once again witness how much Gu Wenheng loved his wife, making them too embarrassed to learn from him.
On weekdays, in the mansion, He Gaofei and his men were all masters, and only their wives and concubines served them. How could they serve women in return?
As for Mrs. He and the others, they were very angry after this meal.
In terms of background and upbringing, they are many levels higher than Jin Qianqian, but why would the husbands they find be so considerate?
Then he looked at his partner who was standing beside him in a wooden posture, his eyes were full of disgust.
Although his appearance and official position were not as high as others, he was very steady.
Apart from pulling out stools for them at the beginning, he was just busy drinking and eating without even glancing at them.
But it was difficult to lose control in a place with so many people around, and several women were holding their breath.
Jin Qianqian had already noticed it and secretly reminded Gu Wenheng, but it seemed like this guy had taken the wrong medicine today, and his actions made the women opposite him feel unfair.
What can my husband do? Of course I just spoil him.
The dinner was finally over, and the three ladies all spoke up, saying that something had happened at home, and left in a hurry with their husbands.
Returning to the mansion with doubts, Jin Qianqian asked as soon as she entered the door, "Why?"
Normally when he was outside, Gu Wenheng was still somewhat careful about influences, but today was very unusual.
Gu Wenheng knew what she was asking, "Someone's hands are a little too long, knock them and make them retract them."
Jin Qianqian: “…”
Gu Wenheng did not hide it, "Our backyard is too quiet, it is a bit of a bother for them, and they actually asked me about taking a concubine."
Jin Qianqian, "...they really ate too much. I should have given them a bowl of rice soup to clear their stomachs."
It’s not like no one has tried to find out over the years, and even used every possible trick.
"Are they just asking, or do they have some other ideas?" Jin Qianqian didn't think this was something that could be brought up casually.
"He Gaofei mentioned his cousin several times..."
Jin Qianqian, "Doesn't he know the rules set by our clan? Didn't you mention it to him?"
"Oh, I mentioned it two years ago when someone wanted to give it away, and I don't believe they didn't hear it.
These people are just hoping for a lucky break and want to get closer to the enemy.
But at least he still had some dignity. When he saw my face darken, he didn't mention it again. "It was not the first time that Gu Wenheng had to deal with such a thing.
