Chapter 528 What should I do if my husband travels to the modern world?
The next day, at noon, at the Marquis’ Mansion.
When Gu Hengqing came back from court and passed by the garden, he saw the busy housekeeper Shi from a distance.
There were also some servants around carrying potted flowers and plants.
"My Lord, you are back!"
When Butler Shi saw Gu Hengqing, he hurried forward.
The Marquis was not wearing official uniform today, but casual clothes. He was tall and slender, and looked particularly elegant.
Plus, he looks exactly like Gu Chongguang, so it's easy to mistake him for Gu Chongguang at first glance.
"What is this, Butler Shi?"
The housekeeper clapped his hands and said, "My Lord, you don't know that after observing for a few days, the Second Madam likes these things the most. The Second Madam has been away from home for almost half a month. As a servant, I naturally cannot be negligent and must make the Second Madam happy."
The housekeeper Shi dared not let the second master lose the wife he had finally married, so he naturally tried his best to make the second lady live comfortably.
"My Lord, you don't know that the Second Madam is very talented in managing household affairs. I listened to you and asked the Second Madam to try slowly. The Second Madam is truly a prodigy!"
As he spoke, Shi Guanjia became angry, his face flushed with anger, and he cursed in a low voice: "The second wife is so smart, it's the Su family who delayed her!"
There are no female members in the Marquis' Mansion. Previously, almost all the affairs in the courtyard were managed by the housekeeper. Now that Gu Chongguang is married, although he is the second master of the Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis is not married yet, so the second wife is the rightful mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, and it is right to leave the household affairs to her.
Gu Hengqing didn't comment: "Yeah."
After that, he left.
Butler Shi bowed his head hastily and when he stood up, he looked at the back of his master and sighed silently.
The Second Master already has a wife, and I don’t know when the Marquis will be able to get married.
Forget it, forget it. Even the old marquis and the old lady can’t handle it, so why should a servant like him worry about it? Maybe the time will come when the destiny arrives, just like the second master!
Don’t be impatient or rush things, as the saying goes, good things are never too late!
The housekeeper calmed down and ordered his servants: "Hold her tightly, don't let her fall!"
"Put forth the energy with which you eat."
"Yes, yes, that's right. Almost all of us in the Marquis' Mansion are martial artists."
-
Gu Hengqing was on his way back to Qingfeng Courtyard, with Feng Ye and Xuantian following behind him.
After turning a corner, Gu Hengqing suddenly stopped.
Feng Ye and Xuan Tian were puzzled. They looked up and saw someone in front of them, it was the Second Madam.
Gu Hengqing looked over and saw a woman in a yellow skirt standing among the flowers. She was standing on tiptoe and reaching out to grab the petals on the branches.
The sleeve slid down slightly, revealing only a little bit of the wrist. The wrist was too white and even too thin, with blue veins faintly visible, as if it would break if bent.
"Madam, is it too high? How about letting the servant do it?"
Siyun behind him stepped forward.
Sheng Huan shook his head, hooked his fingers, and pressed down the branch, and the pink flowers hung down.
She bent her head and smelled the beauty of the flowers. A butterfly with spread wings flew over and danced above her head.
Then, as if she sensed something, she suddenly looked up and met the man at the corner.
Gu Hengqing was stunned.
The butterflies circling above the woman's head fell on her hair and merged with the ornaments on her head. As she bathed in the sunlight, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of holy light.
Sheng Huan didn't expect to meet Gu Hengqing by chance today.
She saw him, smiled subconsciously, her eyes lit up, and she trotted over quickly.
Seeing this, Gu Hengqing was stunned again.
At this moment, she had quickly walked up to him and stopped, her eyes curved like crescent moons.
"husband--"
Gu Hengqing met her bright and surprised eyes, and those eyes smiled, filled with smiles, as if they fell into the sun, completely lit up, without any haze. His heart suddenly jumped, and his hands behind his back shrank violently without knowing when, but even now, he knew that she had made a mistake.
To avoid embarrassment for her, Gu Hengqing took the initiative: "Sister-in-law, you are here too."
The man's voice was unhurried, gentle even.
The woman's face flashed with surprise, and she quickly lowered her head. Her face was covered with red clouds and she was embarrassed but helpless: "Brother, brother."
"Chongguang is not at home, but my sister-in-law wants to see me for something. Don't be anxious, take your time." His voice was very pleasant, clear and mellow.
“Yes, yes.” The woman’s eyelashes trembled faster and faster. She couldn’t find the words for a moment, so she could only say whatever she could: “Yes, it was about the Su, the Su Mansion when I went back home. My husband said… Brother, brother may not know. I, I wanted to take back my parents’ things. The Su Mansion was too bullying. My husband, brother, I…”
"Ah."
As soon as Gu Hengqing saw her like this, he knew that she was still in a state of confusion, otherwise she wouldn't be so incoherent. Seeing that she was so embarrassed that tears welled up in her eyes, as if she was bullied, Gu Hengqing inexplicably felt that somewhere on the right side of his face seemed to be a little hot.
He looked away, and the elegant and noble young man's every move was dignified and graceful: "I'll have someone take care of this matter."
Siyun and Shihua behind Sheng Huan looked at each other, and secretly glanced at the Marquis Gu Hengqing in front of them. The Marquis was indeed dressed somewhat like the Second Master today.
They lowered their heads silently, pretending that the misunderstanding just now didn't exist.
Feng Ye and Xuan Tian behind Gu Hengqing also hurriedly lowered their heads, but when their eyes met, they seemed to be saying that the Second Madam almost called her husband the Marquis just now.
Sheng Huan and Gu Hengqing had no idea what the servants around each other were thinking. Sheng Huan lowered his eyes, twisted the handkerchief with his fingers, bit his pink lips, and quickly half-knelt and bowed: "Thank you, brother. I, I have something else to do in the courtyard, so I'll go back first."
"Yeah." The man nodded, very concisely.
Sheng Huan turned around and walked away. From behind he seemed to have calmed down, but his pace was still a little quick.
Siyun and Shihua also hurriedly followed Gu Heng Qingfu and chased after Sheng Huan.
Gu Hengqing raised his eyes and saw that the colorful butterflies in the woman's hair seemed to be startled and flew away, and the pearl hairpins swayed, shining brightly in the sunlight.
At that time, Gu Chongguang, who was far away in the military camp holding a spear, suddenly touched his chest.
Just now, it seemed to jump a little faster.
"General Gu, hurry up and get on the field. It's your turn! Everyone is waiting for you."
"Here it comes!" Gu Chongguang shook his head. It must be an illusion.
He pointed his spear straight ahead and jumped onto the stage.
