Chapter 36: Bayberry

After half an hour, Chuntao returned to the ancient courtyard from the back door.
Su Qing's eyes showed joy, she took Chuntao into the room, poured a cup of tea into her hand, and asked, "how?"
Chuntao "gulugulu" drank the tea, and when she heard her remarks, she emphasized, "His Royal Highness, how do you know that Master Tang will surely agree?"
"Really?"
"Well. The slave wrote the small note in advance as ordered by His Royal Highness, and then watched the little beggar who the slave was looking for sent the note in. But who knows that the slave didn't come back, then Master Tang let his servant He stopped the slaves in the street, saying that he would give his Highness an answer as soon as possible, so that His Highness would not be anxious. "
Su Qing thought back for a while and asked, "Have you guys ... seen before?"
"No, Master Tang has never been to the palace. How could a slave who is like that meet him?" Chuntao shook his head.
Is this weird? What kind of benefit did the original body give to this too Changqing adult? Just a simple note made people willing to help.
Chuntao did not notice Su Qing's emotions, and was still thinking about herself: "His Royal Highness, if Lord Tang is really willing to help us, wouldn't your Highness save a lot of trouble. I heard that you have to know a lot about the business, and whether your Highness must also Learn how to settle accounts, and slaves can help ... "
"Shh," Su Qing put her finger up on Jiao's lips and motioned her to speak quietly. Before that, she was afraid of Chuntao's temper, and accidentally leaked the wind, which dragged things on again and again. OK, don't say anything else, especially Qiye. "
Chuntao covered her mouth and nodded heavily.
She wouldn't tell Qiye that it was too late to hide.
The two discussed some other things. As for the specifics, it was not until Tang Ruyan wrote back.
Su Qing pushed the door out of the house, and before walking a few steps, she saw Si Ting and Gu Li moving in the yard.
Gu Li wielded the silver halberd with sweat, and Si Ting leaped aside, Su Qing didn't understand martial arts, but she could also see that it was easier for Si Ting.
"Mrs." Siting saw her and closed her hands.
Gu Li Leng hummed and turned his head away from looking at her.
He ignored him, and Su Qing wouldn't take care of the bear child. She tilted her head and smiled: "It turned out that Si Ting's martial arts are also so good, why haven't he seen it before?"
Si Ting shook his head embarrassed. "Thank you Madam for complimenting me. If I really want to say martial arts, I can't go a few steps under Qiye."
"Seventh Lord?"
It is said that Gu Zifu is a general of Peking University in Yipin, but she seems to have never seen him use martial arts. Last time in the hall ...
Su Qing trembled slightly.
Do not want to think about those panic.
Gu Li, who was nearby, said unwillingly: "Someday, my little master will be on the battlefield like Qi Shu, and defend our country!"
Su Qing was surprised.
Seeing her look, Gu Li couldn't help getting angry, and with the movement of her wrist, the silver halberd with strong wind swept in front of her, scaring Su Qing's face pale, and taking a few steps back.
With a tight waist, a big hand supported her.
"Idle hands itch?" Gu Zifu let go of his hand, squinting fox eyes.
Gu Li shouted his tongue and cursed "Xiaoshaxing", then turned his head up again and changed his face, scratching his head and smiling: "How is it possible that I just practiced martial arts with Si Ting just now, or you uncle Qi Just check me out? "
Gu Zi Fu Yan smiled, "You can't beat me."
"..." Gu Li's face slumped for a moment.
Uncle Qi, this is your fault. Despite this reason, how can you speak so directly?
Su Qing didn't hold back a chuckle and saw Gu Li stare at her fiercely, stuck her tongue out, and stared back at him like he did.
Stare and stare, to see who has big eyes.
It was just that the wind was blowing, and her eyes were very dry. Su Qing was about to raise her hands and rub it, but Gu Zifu flicked her finger on her forehead first, and she took a breath of cold air when she was in pain.
Su Qing's eyes were reddish, rubbing her forehead, looking up at Gu Zifu in puzzlement.
Hit her well again.
Gu Zifu twisted the fingertips under the twisted sleeves, lifted his eyelids, and said coolly, "It's not that you want Si Ting to find someone to make a swing. If you want it, you just have to cut it and burn it."
"A swing is ready?"
Su Qing looked at him with his eyes widened, and then immediately frowned, looking very touching.
She said nothing and trot all the way to the backyard.
Gu Li looked baffled, "Swing? What swing?"
Si Ting Fuer, I thought you would n’t mess up with me.
Who would have thought that Gu Zifu just had a vague "snoring" voice, with a serious face, and seemed to be thinking about a very important event. Later, he turned to Si Ting and asked: "Is it just like that, isn't it fierce? ? "
Si Ting and Gu Li: "..."
Gu Li shivered a little, he actually wanted to ask "What's wrong with you today?" But he didn't have the courage, so he had to swallow all the words reluctantly and went to the side to continue squatting step.
Si Ting was looking for the famous carpenter in the west of the imperial capital city. The carpenter was skillful and the workmanship was fine. Many people came to him for business. When I heard it, I was going to Gu Gu to make a swing for Gu Qiye. I was afraid to shake my head and say nothing. In the end, Si Ting promised again and again that the silver was doubled. Entered Gufu.
Sure enough, he is still suitable for being a killer, this kind of humiliating job is really not suitable for him.
Su Qing originally chose the backyard for a swing, and there was another reason. There were a few large bayberry trees next to the swing. I heard that it was when the ancient courtyard was built.
Today is the season when bayberry matures. Su Qing has picked a few a few days ago, and it is still slightly sour, but it does not affect its taste. Now that she has a swing, she can sit here every day, eating bayberry, and she will feel very good when she wants to come.
In the afternoon, Su Qing asked Si Ting to climb to the height of Yangmeishu, first picked some and left to eat, then took a small basket and picked it for Gu Li, and let him take it back to Ding's.
Who knew that Gu Li looked at Yangmei with hesitation, and almost didn't directly ask "Is this bayberry poisonous?" Su Qing, almost angry, was about to it from him.
Yangmei is round, as big as grapes, and has dark red skin. There are small bumps on the skin, just like a small pompom rolling in your hands. Take a bite, and the water turns into a sweet juice. The fresh and refreshing taste permeates the mouth, and the juice runs down the throat and flows into my heart.
Gu Zifu also ate one, Xu felt that it tasted a little strange, and saw the red bayberry juice stained with his own hand. He looked disgusted. He picked up Su Qing's pazi and rubbed it on the table.
Either sour or sweet, there is no normal taste.
Su Qing can ignore this, anyway, Yang Mei just fits her taste, and even with a disgust to Gu Zifu, she looked at it pleasingly. What made her even more happy was that Gu Zifu was not in the ancient courtyard for a few days, went out at noon, and walked in at dusk in the evening, sometimes frowning from time to time, it seems that something big is going to happen.
Listening to Shuangqiao said, Qiye went to Xiangfu.
In Xiangfu, Chi Rui took the stewed bird's nest in the hands of the girl, and tried the temperature. This was brought to Ye Yuyi and put the spoon into the bowl. After a series of actions, it was almost impossible for him to feed himself.
Ye Yuyi was holding her little daughter as if she hadn't seen it.
Chi Rui sighed heavily. He looked at someone sitting opposite him without any consciousness, and said with a headache, "Qiye, which one have you played these days?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Gu Zifu obliquely glanced at him.
If he was not afraid of losing the gentleman's style, he really wanted to lift the table and buckle the bird's nest to Gu Zifu's forehead, and then drive people out by the way. But if he did so, I am afraid that the government today will definitely be restless.
He calmed down and asked as calmly as possible: "Well, dare to ask Qiye, why are you visiting the office these days?"
Gu Zifu hesitated for a moment, looked up, and fell on Ye Yuyi, and looked at Chi Rui again, frowning, "How do you sleep at night, hold your sleep? Or take off your clothes to sleep?"
"..." Ye Yuyi flushed, and got up in a panic, hugging her little daughter and leaving without even saying hello.
"Qiye, you are good at doing things well?" Chi Rui really didn't know how to know such a man ... such a man.
Gu Zifu continued to think for himself: "Isn't it a round room between husband and wife?"
"... I said, what has happened to you lately, who has caused you to blame me for packing, why go to my place to toss and fumble. Moreover, these words are intimate things between husband and wife, where is there in front of people Asked personally ... "At the halfway point, Chi Rui froze, seeming to have suddenly risen in disbelief at the thought of something shocking, bumped into the corner of the table, and uttered a" bang ".
He rubbed in pain and rubbed the place where he was hit, hissing: "Qiye you ... you won't bloom the iron tree, right?"
"You looking for a fight?"
"No, no, no, I didn't mean anything else, just simply ask, just ask," Chi Rui waved hands again and again, "Anyway, just ask the court about this kind of thing, why bother to come to me Come."
Gu Zifu said impatiently: "He hasn't married anymore."
In fact, Gu Zifu is not the kind of person who breaks the casserole and asks to the end. Some things have passed, but Su Qing's response a few days ago made him curious. This little girl is timid and can scare her eyes. red. He found it interesting, and asked Si Ting to ask, who knew that Shi Ting was looking at him like a demon, and finally hesitated to say a word.
"Qiye, do you like your wife?"
This is the question of Gu Zifu.
In his concept, there is only what you want and what you don't want, and what you like.
Si Ting Zhi Zhi Wu Wu could not answer for a long time, so he asked him to come to Xiangfu to see, maybe he saw the grandson and the grandson's wife getting along.
But he looked at it for a few days, and the two of them were grinning except for being crooked, and they couldn't stare at a flower.
Chi Rui understood it at this moment, and asked with a smile: "You just look at the little girl who is funny, it ’s funny, it ’s boring when they are away. Is this the reason I said?"
"It's true."
The author has something to say: Grandpa: "Ma'am, this bird's nest was bought for your husband. You try it."
Mrs. Ye: "(Coquettish) Well, it's delicious. Thank you, husband."
Qiye: "(Thinking) Qingqing, open your mouth."
Qingqing: "..." (shaking all over, covering her mouth and not daring to look at him)
Grandpa returns with a provocative perspective
Qiye: "(Frown) Open your mouth."
Qingqing: "..." (Continue shaking his head)
Qiye sneered, tossed the bowl spoon to the ground, and smashed it.
Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, her face narrowed slowly—at this moment Renshe finally met, and this was the Qiye she saw in her weekdays.
Granddaughter and Mrs. Ye: "??? What new game is this ????"
