The eldest lady saw that although her son reprimanded Qi'er, he was actually helping her. When the eldest lady heard from her servants that Gongsun Yu was coming, the eldest lady knew that she might not be able to keep Qi'er.
The eldest lady asked, "Have you finished translating the scriptures that Yu'er needs to translate?"
Qi'er answered honestly, "Go back to Madam, and finish translating the Paramita Heart Sutra."
The eldest lady said, "There are some rumors about you out there."
"What rumors do I have?" Qi'er looked at the eldest lady strangely.
"Didn't you hear it on the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Qi'er said lightly, "Mr. Yu knows better than us. Those who spread rumors must be jealous of Mr. Yu's character. They don't dare to say anything else. They can only spread it secretly without seeing the light. Mr. Yu If there is a woman you like, good things will happen one after another. How can I, a translator, ruin Mr. Yu's reputation?"
The eldest lady nodded and thought it made sense.
Qi'er added, "There are rumors going around outside. They don't understand that Mr. Yu would rather be a piece of jade than a piece of brick. There are not many young masters as capable and handsome as Mr. Yu in the entire Northern Qi Dynasty."
Qi'er knew that if she wanted to praise someone, she would feel happier when she praised her children than she did herself.
It really works.
The eldest lady saw that Qi'er had a handsome appearance, and her appearance and speech were also appropriate, so she actually liked him a little bit. Although she had met her once last time, she didn't take a closer look at her in order to catch the assassin at night.
When Qi'er saw that the eldest lady had dark circles under her eyes, he deliberately tried to be courteous and said that there was a way for the eldest lady to remove the dark circles under her eyes and quickly make her complexion moisturized. The eldest lady didn't believe it at first, but she couldn't resist the temptation and asked, "What method is it?"
Qi'er said, "Rolling the egg back and forth on the face not only removes wrinkles and reduces dark circles, but also makes the skin brighter."
The eldest lady was dubious.
Gongsun Yu said that she was not sure and should not talk nonsense.
Qi'er said one word at a time, "This is really a secret recipe."
Seeing that his mother was not angry, Gongsun Yu took advantage of this and said, "Mother, Qi'er still needs to help translate the scriptures."
The mother knew that although her son reprimanded her, he still cared for Qi'er in his heart. Whoever felt sorry for her son would do a favor and let her be taken away, and asked Qi'er to take good care of the young master.
Qi'er naturally promised that he would take good care of her when she got back.
Qi'er was naturally happy that she didn't stay, and the journey was much more relaxed. Gongsun Yu was curious about how she managed to pick up the eggs without breaking them. But she deliberately kept it secret.
Gongsun Yu deliberately said, "You don't understand the rules so much that you didn't answer my questions. Do you want to learn some rules from my mother?"
Qi'er was not afraid of his threats. "It's useless to threaten me. If I don't answer you, you can find the answer yourself."
Gongsun Yu said, "Didn't you just say that you would take good care of me?"
Qi'er's face straightened and she said, "I'm a translator. I've done a lot to serve you."
Gongsun Yu knew how quickly she changed her face and smiled to himself.
As soon as Qi'er entered Boyunxuan, he saw a rosewood swing hanging outside Boyunxuan from a distance. Qi'er went over excitedly and looked at it again and again. Gongsun Yu didn't say anything.
Luan Yue whispered to Qi'er, "Master Yu specially prepared this for you. He said that you are tired from translating and you can take a rest."
After hearing this, Qi'er said politely, "I just want to take a rest now." After saying that, he started to swing on the swing.
Luan Yue looked at it and smiled and said, "You haven't worked for many days. Why are you tired?"
Qi'er said politely, "You don't know that I just picked up a lot of eggs at Madam's place. I was so careful that I was exhausted. By the way, if you eat eggs today, they were picked by me."
Gongsun Yu looked at Qi'er, but Qi'er said, "I'm still angry and need to calm down on the swing."
Luan Yue said, "How about I push you?"
Qi'er said, "Did you cause it?"
Luan Yue said wisely, "By the way, I still need to sort out the young master's documents. I haven't sorted them out for several days, and it's actually a bit boring." After saying that, he left immediately.
Gongsun Yu saw Qi'er looking at him and knew what she was going to say. Before Qi'er could speak, he silently walked behind the swing and pushed the swing slowly.
When Qi'er saw the always aloof Gongsun Yu push the swing for her so obediently, she didn't blame him, but felt a bit superior.
Qi'er felt very happy knowing that Gongsun Yu still cared more about his own preferences. Naturally, he knew that Gongsun Yu had always favored him, and he was always protected by the so-called cold-faced king. He really couldn't explain it in his heart.
As we all know, Gongsun Yu has never touched her, but he has no physical contact with a girl he likes very much? In addition, he was not good at womanizing before, so he didn't have a girl to sleep with him even at this age. It was because Qi'er slept one night in Yi'anju. There were rumors outside that Gongsun Yu was not good, or that he had some physical illness. ? It is simply unpalatable to spread lies.
Qi'er felt that it was her fault that Gongsun Yu was misunderstood by others, so she naturally knew the reason why the eldest lady asked her to go that day. I'm not a fool, so I thought of a way to win the eldest lady's heart and protect myself. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? So he tried his best to find a girl for Gongsun Yu.
If you are good to me, I will naturally take care of you.
The next day, Qi'er went to ask Luan Yue to borrow five hundred taels of silver. Luan Yue was curious as to why he borrowed so much.
Qi'er said she had a task to do, and said she wanted to dress up like a beauty and give gifts to Gongsun Yu.
Luan Yue was curious about the reason, but Qi'er didn't tell her. Luan Yue thought Qi'er knew that Mr. Yu liked her and she was dressing up. So he took five hundred taels of silver from the warehouse and gave it to Qi'er.
Qi'er was worried about Gongsun Yu. He heard that there was a girl in the "Quanxiang Pavilion" who was once an official lady. She was not only beautiful but also very lovable, so she slipped over to take a look and saw that it was an exquisite courtyard. They were interesting, so they went in to take a look, selected a few and planned to train them and give them to Gongsun Yu.
Qi'er picked the girl from left to right, and finally took the one he liked. He paid five hundred taels of silver to bring the girl back, and happily reported to Gongsun Yu.
After hearing this, Gongsun Yu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood and asked her if she knew where that place was?
Qi'er thought she had done a good thing, so she drank tea and thought, "When I get you into bed, you won't blame me."
Seeing Qi'er's proud expression, Gongsun Yu was even more annoyed when he walked into Boyunxuan and ignored her.
Qi'er was actually very angry when she saw Gongsun Yu's expression? Thinking of the rumors outside and foolishly believing them, not knowing whether they are true or false? Have you ever thought that Lou Xiping once said that he was injured in an indescribable way? After all, it's impossible to ask about this kind of thing, and it's also something embarrassing.
Ask Luan Yue in a low voice whether the rumors about Gongsun Yu are true or false?
Luan Yue naturally explained one by one that it was just rumors and not true.
Qi'er felt that Luan Yue didn't understand what she meant, so she added, "Is your young master a normal person?"
"Of course?"
"I mean normal...normal man?"
Gongsun Yu was furious to death in Boyunxuan.
Luan Yue found it funny and angry and was so scared that she couldn't bear to speak. Seeing Gongsun Yu in Boyunxuan keeping staring at them, she knew something was wrong and immediately gave Qi'er a look to stop him from talking.
Qi'er thought that they were talking in a low voice due to such a long distance, and Gongsun Yu couldn't hear it, so he analyzed again, "I took great pains to choose such a good girl for him and sent it to him, but they all turned him away. How could a normal man say no..." ·And what Lou Xiping said last time was a mistake? Did Mr. Yu hurt the foundation of a man?"
Luan Yue also felt that Qi'er had gone too far, and first warned her, "Never say the words "horse stumbles" in the house from now on, and don't ask why." After saying that, she then asked, "Do you know where that place is?"
Qi'er said, "I know, there are young ladies from the Guanjuan family everywhere. They are proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I heard that many royal nobles choose their people from there. I took great pains to select them. They speak and behave like ladies. She Mom said, if it hadn’t been for the national mourning period, this pretty girl, who was good at playing music, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, would have cost at least a thousand taels. I worked hard and soft to get it for only 500 taels. By the way, these 500 taels were for public consumption. As for I don’t want the reward.”
Luan Yue couldn't help but said, "You still dare to ask for the reward? You also know that it is during the national mourning period? Do you know where it is? It is a place where the female relatives of the former official residence stayed. Because their family members were implicated, they had no choice but to stay here. , although it sounds elegant, it is actually... a high-end brothel. It is during the national mourning period, and they are not allowed to operate. They only say that it is a place to enjoy tea and play chess, but everyone knows it. Why are you so stupid? "Angrily accused.
After hearing this, Qi'er almost choked herself to death when drinking water. She couldn't believe that she was so stupid.
Luan Yue knew that the young master liked her, but she kept looking for a new love for the young master. She couldn't help but "If you are really looking for the young master, find someone just like you."
Qi'er knew what Luan Yue meant, and she also knew that Gongsun Yu might really like her, but like and love are two different concepts here. She knew that in ancient times, monogamy and multiple concubines were practiced. She deliberately said, "No one wants a girl like me. Only girls from famous aristocrats or considerate and virtuous girls will be loved." She often joked with Luan Yue.
Luan Yue was used to it and deliberately joked, "Then you can't find a way to marry yourself off?"
Gongsun Yu walked out and couldn't help but said, "Who would dare to want a woman like her? Who spends the whole day thinking about finding a new love for others? Don't say she is from my Gongsun Mansion when you go out."
Qi'er felt a little unhappy after hearing that no one wanted her. Then he asked, "What about the girl? I spent a lot of money to buy her?"
"Since you are so assertive, you can figure it out yourself. By the way, you can slowly find a way to pay back the five hundred taels of silver."
Qi'er was surprised and said, "Five hundred taels? How long do I have to pay back? Do you want me to die here?"
Gongsun Yu said, "You are not very independent. You can think of a way on your own, right?"
Qi'er had no choice but to commit herself here, so where would she send a woman like that? I asked, "Do you want to stay?"
Gongsun Yu gave Qi'er a sharp look.
Qi'er was so frightened that she quickly said, "Should I send it back right away?"
Gongsun Yu warned, "If you dare to say that the person was obtained by Gongsun Mansion? It's not just a matter of five hundred taels."
Qi'er originally wanted to send him back. If his mother didn't give him the money, he would use the Gongsun Mansion to pressure him. He would definitely give it, or else he would have five hundred taels someday. But Gongsun Yu could see her little plan at a glance.
Qi'er was still talking, watching Gongsun Yu keep glaring at him with sharp eyes. Knowing that he was going to suffer, "I'll send him back right now."
