After being reborn, the powerful minister's heart is overwhelmed
Chapter 4 Dark Irony
But when he was about to get on the carriage, he turned back and looked at Nian Xiang.
Wang Si thought that Nianxiang would be aggrieved for his master, so he would definitely be stunned there at this moment, but he didn't want to see anyone when he turned around.
Are you leaving in such a hurry?
Wang Si touched the tip of his nose and bent down to get into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Shen Qiuhe lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the sun outside. "We must arrive within an hour, lest the gang from the Punishment Department seize the vanguard."
Shen Qiuhe frowned slightly and told Wang Si that it was the case at hand. Nowadays, the relationship between Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment has become increasingly tense. Whenever there is a case that needs to be handled together, there must be a fight over the situation.
Seeing that Shen Qiuhe was focused on his official duties, as if he didn't care about what happened just now, Wang Si sighed slightly and couldn't say anything else.
The green carriage was speeding outside the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, as if there was some wild beast in the Marquis' Mansion and it would be eaten if it didn't leave.
On the other side, Mrs. Gu hurried over after receiving the news. The people below had already fed Ning Shunhou sobering soup, and now Ning Shunhou had settled down and slept.
Mrs. Gu went to the back room to take a look and saw that Ning Shun was sleeping soundly. She rolled her eyes at Ning Shun and then sat in the outer room with Qiao Guxin.
"I heard from the people below that the kid from Qiuhe is here?" Sitting in the main seat, Gu couldn't help but ask.
Her daughter will be getting married next year. Mrs. Gu always feels uneasy and wants to watch Shen Qiu Heduan more carefully.
Qiao Guxin took the tea from the next person and placed it in front of Gu, "Maybe it's because she still has official duties. When my daughter came over, Master Shen had already left."
Hearing this, Gu's brows frowned unconsciously.
According to the rules, the Shen family does not have a master who entertains foreign men, and most female family members usually avoid it. But Shen Qiuhe is different. He is a junior. Since he comes to the house, he must greet the old lady before leaving.
The young people next to her who are about to get married must meet each other when they get the chance. Mrs. Gu doesn't like such frivolous gestures, but such indifference makes people feel very uncomfortable.
On weekdays, it was the elders of the two parents who dealt with each other, and Shen Qiuhe didn't know much about him. Especially four years ago, when the Duke's mansion underwent a huge change, the child lived in isolation and rarely had the opportunity to meet him.
It's just that my daughter hasn't gotten married yet, so I can't choose this reason, so I can only keep it in my heart.
Looking at Gu's expression, Qiao Guxin understood what her mother was thinking, and just smiled beside her, "The emperor's orders are in his hands, and most of them can't help themselves."
Qiao Guxin was naturally used to Shen Qiuhe's behavior today.
Human relationships are cold and warm, and Shen Qiuhe never puts too much thought into his wife.
Listening to Qiao Guxin's words of defense for Shen Qiuhe, Gu's face softened slightly, "I haven't even gotten married yet, and the water has been poured out."
While the couple were talking, they heard something moving in the yard outside. They looked through the bead curtain and saw the people below helping the old lady over.
The couple got up immediately, but the old lady had just taken away Qiao Xunfeng's right to discipline her this morning, and Mrs. Gu was still not happy. She didn't even force herself to smile when they met.
After greeting the old lady, the old lady also went in to take a look at Ning Shunhou, and walked out after a while.
The old lady also looked at her daughter-in-law's expression, and didn't ask any questions. She just looked at Qiao Guxin and said, "The same goes for your father. He is such a grown man, yet he is still so rude."
Because she knew that it was Qiao's heart that persuaded Mrs. Gu and did not let her go back to her parents' home, she always spoke in a gentle manner.
Qiao Gu said with a smile on his face, "It's a rare indulgence, it's harmless."
I can never really speak ill of my father.
The old lady was just talking casually, and she didn't really want to discuss the rights and wrongs of her elders with a junior. After chatting for a few words, she asked about Shen Qiuhe again.
It is no small matter for my future uncle to come to my house.
Qiao Guxin replied to the old lady what Hui Xi had just said.
The old lady's face was slightly cold, but she didn't say much, "It's your job to eat your salary and worry about your business. That kid from Qiuhe has a bright future."
After saying this, the old lady paused, and then said, "This man should be running around outside, and our women will take care of the inner house. Sister Xin will get married next year, so I'm thinking about hiring someone from outside." Aunty is teaching me a lesson, are you watching?"
Finally, I spoke to Mr. Gu first.
This noble girl from an aristocratic family has been taught by a female teacher since she was a child, but her daily lessons and the way to run a family are still different.
Mrs. Gu bowed and said, "Let mother worry about it, but Sister Xin is smart. In terms of knowledge, none of the children in the family can compare to Sister Xin. As for the head of the family, my daughter-in-law has been there since the Chinese New Year." I’m teaching Sister Xin how to read the account books. The Duke’s mansion is very sparsely populated and there’s not much to do in dealing with people. My daughter-in-law is thinking of waiting until winter comes before asking Nanny to come over and teach her.”
Mrs. Gu blocked her back with a smile. The old lady should know how well Qiao Guxin was brought up. Qiao Guxin was not in a hurry to find her mother, but the Qiao Xunfeng who entered the house today was anxious.
Originally, Mrs. Gu had made a fuss about going back to her parents' house today, but now she doesn't go back. Let others see that she has lowered her bottom line, and the old lady has taken advantage of it again.
The old lady was disgraced, her face darkened, her mouth tightened, and she let out a long snort.
Qiao Guxin pretended not to understand the deep meaning of these words. She just sat calmly and waited for Nianxiang to come in before she seemed to come to her senses and asked, "What are you carrying in your hand?"
Nianxiang bowed to the three masters first, and then reported, "As for the girl, I sent Master Shen off. Master Shen told me that I was in a hurry today and forgot about the rudeness of the old lady. Don't be offended. I specifically ordered my slave to take care of me." Mr. Shen bought two jars of honey to show his appreciation."
After listening to Nianxiang's words, the old lady's expression softened, "The child has a heart."
Mrs. Gu glanced at the two jars of honey beside her, always feeling a little dissatisfied with her future uncle.
Originally, he should have good intentions, but he didn't choose the right gift. The old lady is getting older, so she should eat less of these sweet and greasy things. Even if she eats them, they are often used in winter when the weather is irritable, and older people don't like them. If you have a cough, use some honey to moisten your heart and lungs in the morning. What should you do with it at this time of year?
However, Gu's mind flashed, and it was naturally inappropriate to give such a gift at this time of year. It's just that Shen Qiuhe worked in Dali Temple, so he should have been thoughtful. What if this gift was intentional?
Mrs. Gu couldn't help but look towards the back room, then she chuckled and followed the old lady's words, "That kid does have a heart."
Seeing Mrs. Gu's smile, the old lady also felt that something was wrong, honey, bee? phoenix?
Ningshun Hou came back after drinking. Naturally, a drunk person would not know what to say and what not to say.
Could it be that he informed his future uncle about this disgraceful matter?
It is a common saying that family scandals should not be publicized. Even the old lady is not willing to alarm the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone the Duke's Mansion.
He is also a very old man, and it would be fine to talk nonsense in the house, but now he is talking nonsense in front of a junior, and it is not embarrassing.
Such lack of sense is all caused by that foxy girl.
At this moment, the old lady only felt burning pain on her face.
