Chapter 201: as a matter of course

Chapter 201 As it should be

Ye Mingjin turned to look at Lu Ziqin and said coquettishly: "Brother Ziqin, help me get a bottle of fragrant dew, okay? Please!"

Lu Ziqin smiled and said, "I'll give it a try."

 The next day, Lu Ziqin brought Ru'an and Ruji to Qing Keju early.

Lingshan looked at Ruji in astonishment, stammering so much that he couldn't speak, "Master..."

Lu Ziqin looked at Lingshan, then at Ruji, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lingshan pointed at Ruji, then pointed upstairs, and stammered: "Ji... Master Ji... didn't you just go upstairs? How... why are you with... Mr. Zu again?"

 Ruji replied: "Are you dazzled? I've been with you all the time."

Lu Ziqin thought of something and walked upstairs.

 When Ruji saw Lu Ziqin going upstairs, he was ready to follow him.

 Ru'an also thought of it and quickly reached out to hold Ruji.

 Ruji turned to look at Ru'an and asked, "What are you pulling me for?"

 As Anunu said, "That one should be here."

 Ruji asked: "Who is that?"

"Who else could it be? The one who is dear to my heart." Ru'an gave Ruji a white look and said in a low voice.

Ruji woke up from Ru'an's disgusted eyes and asked, "Are you talking about Dr. Gu?"

 Ru'an nodded, "Looking at how impatient I am, who else could it be if she wasn't her?"

 Ruji looked at Lingshan and asked, "Are you sure the man upstairs looks like me?"

Lingshan is not stupid either. He understood from the expression on his head and lowered his head and replied: "It's very similar!"

 Ruji turned to Ru'an and said, "Aren't you curious?"

Ru'an raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Shall we go up and take a look?"

 Ruji replied: "Let's go."

Lu Ziqin pushed open the door of the study room and saw Gu Huayu leaning against the window sill, looking at him with a smile.

Lu Ziqin raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Lingshan said Ruji was upstairs..."

"It's not Ruji, it's me. I put on makeup that looks like Ruji." Gu Huayu replied.

"Imitation makeup? Can you hide it from Lingshan?" Lu Ziqin looked at Gu Huayu in disbelief.

Gu Huayu winked playfully and said with a smile, "Well, it can be so fake that it looks real."

 “Sir, Doctor Gu!”

 Ru'an and Ruji knock on the door and come in.

 Gu Huayu turned to look at Ruji and said, "Ruji happens to be here. Let me put on makeup and see if it can be fake enough to look real."

With that said, Gu Huayu walked to the table and sat down.

Only then did Lu Ziqin notice that the table was filled with bottles and cans. He picked up a bottle and asked, "Xiaoyu, what is this?"

 Gu Huayu took a look and explained: "Foundation is used as a base. The reason why I put on Ruji's fake makeup is because Ruji is about the same height as me."

After finishing speaking, Gu Huayu said to Ruji: "I'm just seeking truth from facts, and I didn't mean to say you are short."

 Ruji smiled and leaned over and said, "Doctor Gu, there is no need to explain, I know."

Among the four servants close to Lu Ziqin, Ruji is the shortest, Ruxuan is the tallest, Ruan is the fairest, and Ruyi is the thinnest.

"You two sit down too." Gu Huayu said as she took the liquid foundation, mixed the color, and then applied it on her face.

 The eyes of the three men turned as her hands moved, and their expressions became richer as her appearance changed.

Gu Huayu looked at the three people who were stunned and asked, "How is it?"

Lu Ziqin stared at Gu Huayu, nodded and said, "It's very similar."

Ru'an looked at Ruji, then turned to look at Gu Huayu, and said, "No wonder Lingshan can't tell the difference. If you just look at the face, it's hard for me to tell the difference."

Gu Huayu smiled proudly and said to Lu Ziqin: "I came here to tell you that the British public can't do anything to me, so you don't have to worry about me. Okay, I have to go back."

"You just came and left? It's still early." Seeing Gu Huayu bending down to collect things, Lu Ziqin hurriedly stopped her.

Gu Huayu looked up at Lu Ziqin and saw Ruji and Ruan exiting the room knowingly. She said with a smile, "What? You don't want me to leave?"

Lu Ziqin didn't expect Gu Huayu's question to be so straightforward, and his face felt a little hot. He met Gu Huayu's star-like eyes and nodded: "Yes, I can't bear to part with you.

 Gu Huayu saw Lu Ziqin's face blushing and stopped teasing him, saying, "Yesterday, my eldest sister, second brother, and little cousin came to the capital. I have to go back to accompany them."

After hearing this, Lu Ziqin couldn't help but helped Gu Huayu put the cosmetics into the box and asked, "Then when can we meet again?"

 Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "Be busy these two days. If you have time, you can go to Mingyue Pavilion on Yongchun Road to find me."

"Yongchun Road? Where is your old residence?" Lu Ziqin stopped his hand for a moment, raised his head and asked.

Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, I took down the shop opposite the old house and opened a teahouse. The British father-in-law probably doesn't know about it yet, and he didn't send anyone to keep an eye on it."

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Okay, I understand. I'll go over and have a look another day."

Gu Huayu packed up the cosmetics and said, "I'm going back first."

Lu Ziqin suddenly remembered the fragrance and said, "Can you give me a few bottles of the fragrance you sold to Miss Shi San last time?"

"That's for ladies, who are you giving it to?" Gu Huayu said sourly.

Lu Ziqin smiled and told what happened last night, "Grandma and mother said they wanted to go to the shop and choose by themselves. Ming Jin was anxious and wanted to get it immediately, so..."

 Gu Huayu opened the cosmetic case and took two bottles from it and handed them to Lu Ziqin, "One bottle of Wangyou and one bottle of Encounter. The middle notes of Encounter are jasmine and hyacinth. The smell is very fresh. I hope Miss Ye likes it."

“You give her two bottles at once and she will jump with joy.” Lu Ziqin said with a smile.

Gu Huayu said: "I'm going back first. When you come back, tell me what kind of incense they like, Old Madam, Mrs. Qian, and Madam Ye, and I'll make another one for them."

Lu Ziqin nodded, "I'll tell you more about it some other time, and I'll have someone send it off to you."

Gu Huayu stopped her and said, "No, Qingzhu drove me here."

Gu Huayu took two steps, turned around and asked, "Qingyan, do you know which school is better in the capital? My sixth brother has also come to the capital, and I have to find a school for him to attend."

Lu Ziqin said: "Then go to Zhixing Academy. The director of Zhixing Academy is Xu Bochen. Xu Bochen is a good friend of the great scholar Yang and a disciple of his great-grandfather. Zhixing Academy has an excellent reputation in the capital. I will contact you first and let you know later."

Gu Huayu said thank you, "Thank you very much."

Gu Huayu went downstairs and walked to the yard. She looked up and saw Lu Ziqin standing in front of the window looking at her. Gu Huayu smiled at Lu Ziqin.

Gu Huayu returned to Wutong Lane. Gu Dechang and Wanshi had already arrived.

Wanshi was talking to Wan Xiaoshuang. Gu Huayu saw that Wanshi's eyes were swollen and the tip of her nose was red, so she knew that she knew about Mengshi.

When Mrs. Wan saw Gu Huayu coming back, her tears fell again, and she choked and said, "Xiaoyu, my aunt is gone. Why is she so stupid? Okay, why do you have to go to the mountains to chop firewood?"

Gu Huayu walked to Wanshi, put her arms around Wanshi, and consoled her: "My condolences, my mother-in-law. I know that Qingzhu told me yesterday. Uncle Hua has arranged for Xinjun to go back to pick up his uncle and the others. Xinjun has already left early this morning. let's go."

Wanshi wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Okay, thank you Xiaoyu."

Gu Huayu sat down next to Wanshi, raised her hand to wipe away Wanshi's tears, and said, "No need to say thank you to my daughter. My cousin has come to the capital, and I asked Junxin to pick up my second uncle and second aunt."

Wanshi nodded and said yes.

Thinking of Meng, Wan cried again and told Gu Huayu a lot about Meng's good things during his lifetime.

Gu Huayu cried with Wanshi for a while, until Wanshi's emotions were relieved, she got up and went to the study.

Gu Dechang saw Gu Huayu coming over and poured her a cup of tea.

  .

On the first day of the new year, Gu Huayu gave her two candies with a smile.

On the first day of Chuyi, he turned to look at Gu Chengnan. Gu Chengnan smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

On the first day of the new year, he leaned over again and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." He took the candy from Gu Huayu's hand.

Gu Huayu flicked Chu Yi's forehead with her finger and said: "You're welcome, let Qingyu take you to play on the street and buy you delicious food, okay?"

On the first day of Chuyi, he turned to look at Gu Chengnan and asked, "Where is daddy? Will daddy go?"

Gu Huayu replied: "If dad doesn't go, I will go with Qingyu on the first day of the new year. Is that okay?"

Chu Yi shook his head, "My dad won't go, and Chu Yi won't go either. Chu Yi will be with dad."

Gu Huayu smiled and rubbed Chu Yi's head and said, "Yes, I can withstand the temptation."

Gu Huayu sat down and said to Gu Chenggui: "Sixth brother, I asked someone to contact Zhixing Academy. It may take two days before there is any news. In the past two days, Qingyu will take you to visit various places. How are you?"

Gu Chenggui leaned forward and said, "Thank you Xiaoyu, will it be troublesome? I can just learn from my third uncle at home."

Gu Dechang said: "Zhixing Academy has an excellent reputation in the capital. Most of the teachers in the college are two-ranked Jinshi. Xu Shanchang devoted his life to running schools and cultivated many talents for Daxing."

Gu Huayu nodded and said: "Chief Xu Shan and Master Yang Da, the master of Seventh Brother, came from the same sect, and they have a close relationship."

Gu Chenggui said anxiously: "Such a good school, doesn't it cost a lot of money?"

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Sixth brother, don't worry about the money. You can just study in peace."

Gu Chenggui bowed and thanked him.

Gu Dechang and Wan stayed in the city for one night, and the next day they took Gu Chengnan and others to Zhuangzi.

Gu Huayu was busy with the opening of her shop and did not go with her.

 The next day, Gu Chengjuan took Wang back to Wutong Lane.

Gu Huayu asked: "Why are you two alone? Where are the second brother and the others?"

Gu Chengjuan curled her lips and replied: "Eldest sister, second brother, junior high school students, Xiaoshuang, they all stayed in Zhuangzi."

“Then why don’t you stay with them?”

Gu Chengjuan said angrily: "I was going to stay, but some people said that Zhuangzi was too deserted and clamored to go back to the city. Just go back. They said that she lives with a woman and it is not safe on the road, so she has to be sent back."

　　At this point, Gu Chengjuan murmured in a low voice: "She thinks she looks like a fairy, so it's not safe! Damn it, I'm so mad at my aunt."

 Gu Chengjuan glanced at Mrs. Wang who was helping Fei Lian get out of the car, and became even more angry. She raised her voice and said: "Second sister-in-law is too pretentious! She has only been in the city for two days, and she is so weak that she has to be helped out of the car?

If you are at home, before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, it is the season of double grabbing. After putting down the bowl, you have to carry the dung on your back and carry the **** to work in the fields. "

Wang got off the car and was about to hold her waist and say she was tired from the car ride, but Gu Chengjuan choked her back.

Wang replied with a stern face: "Gu Chengjuan, don't be so arrogant. What's wrong with Fei Lian reaching out to help me? Fei Lian was well taught by Xiao Yu. She is thoughtful and careful in her work. She is a good maid.

You treat me coldly and coldly all day long. Should I eat yours or use yours? "

 Gu Chengjuan frowned and was about to argue with Mr. Wang. Gu Huayu said: "Okay, let's talk a few words each. After coming back from Zhuangzi, we have been riding in the car for more than half an hour. We are all tired, so we went back to our houses to rest."

Wang glanced at Gu Chengjuan, snorted coldly, and took Feilian back to her small courtyard.

Seeing Wang walking away, Gu Chengjuan said angrily: "Xiaoyu, look at her..."

Gu Huayu advised: "She is not stingy, why do you care about her?"

 “But this person is so annoying!” Gu Chengjuan said.

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Do you know how to deal with this kind of person? It makes her angry but there is nothing you can do about it."

 “How to deal with it?” Gu Chengjuan asked.

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Ignore her and treat her as nothing."

“But, she is dazzling in front of my eyes, how can I treat her as nothing?” Gu Chengjuan asked in confusion.

"So I want you to treat her as nothing, not as nothing. Did you see the look I gave her? Does she dare to yell at me? Let me tell you, for a person like Wang, the more you pay attention to her, the more energetic she will be. "The more you ignore her, the more afraid she will be of you."

“Really?” Gu Chengjuan asked, turning her head.

Gu Huayu nodded, "Next, you try."

Gu Chengjuan nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

 Wang left and returned with Fei Lian. "Xiaoyu, I'm so bored in the house. I'll go out for a walk."

Gu Huayu nodded expressionlessly, "Go."

 Wang stood still.

Gu Chengjuan frowned and said, "Didn't I let you go?"

Wang looked at Gu Huayu, kneaded the handkerchief and said, "Xiaoyu, can you give me some money?"

“Wang Xiu’e, don’t go too far. You come here to eat and live in Xiaoyu, and when you go shopping, you have to ask for money from Xiaoyu.

 Why should Xiaoyu give you money? Are you Xiaoyu's mother or Xiaoyu's father? You deserve it! "Gu Chengjuan's fiery temper was easily controlled by Wang.

Wang ignored Gu Chengjuan's roar and looked straight at Gu Huayu, waiting for Gu Huayu to reply.

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, it's not that I won't give you money, it's just that we are too tight.

 In the capital, food is not much more expensive than in Shicheng. There are twenty or thirty people in our family, and our daily expenses are a huge amount. "

　　Since Gu Huayu’s words reached this point, Gu Chengjuan thought that Wang would give up.

Unexpectedly, Wang had no intention of stopping. "Xiaoyu, I'm not asking for money from you, I'm borrowing money from you. I will pay you back after your second brother comes back."

Gu Huayu asked: "How much does the second sister-in-law plan to borrow?"

Wang stretched out a hand and said, "How about borrowing this much first?"

Gu Chengjuan asked: "How much is so much? Five big coins?"

Wang glanced at Gu Chengjuan and said, "Gu Xiaojuan, did you mean it? You are sending five big coins to a beggar! Xiaoyu, lend me five taels of silver."

Gu Huayu shook her head, "Five taels? That's too many, none, only two taels."

 “Okay, two liang is two liang.” Wang said.

Gu Huayu turned around and ordered: "Lonicera, take Second Grandma to set up a document, and then ask Shi Niang to give Second Grandma two taels of silver."
