The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering
Chapter 40: Making plans to obtain winter clothes, strategizing and making plans for the prince?
Meng Ying's face immediately showed a hurt look, and even Mrs. Gu didn't understand why Gu Wangshu disagreed.
Gu Wangshu realized that she was a little excited just now. She calmed down a little and explained:
"It's too cold outside and your body can't bear it."
This time, Gu Wangshu finally looked at Meng Ying.
Meng Ying's hurt mood was instantly replaced by joy. It turned out that Xiao Shu didn't dislike her, but was worried about her body.
"I could be more..." Put on some clothes.
Before she could finish her next words, Gu Wangshu said again:
"Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."
She didn't want Meng Ying to follow her. Firstly, Meng Ying was indeed still ill, and secondly, it would be inconvenient to move around with her.
She couldn't make any mistakes in what she did tomorrow. She could foresee that a verbal abuse was likely to occur at Yuquan Restaurant tomorrow, and Meng Ying would be restrained.
Meng Ying was not obsessed with leaving the house. She felt sweet when she saw that Gu Wangshu not only cared about her condition, but also took the initiative to buy things for her.
Gu Wangshu's main purpose of coming here was to let her grandmother leave the house with her.
It would arouse suspicion for a boudoir lady to leave the house with a maid, but if her grandmother accompanied her, the risk of suspicion would be greatly reduced.
Gu Wangshu and Mrs. Gu chatted for a while and then left.
Seeing this, Meng Ying couldn't sit still.
Gu Wangshu and Qiu Chi were walking in front, while Meng Ying was sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed by Zi Su, following closely behind.
It was getting dark outside, and the General Mansion turned on the lights. The dim lights swayed in the wind. Gu Wangshu's side face flickered in and out, falling in Meng Ying's eyes. Sometimes she was gentle and sometimes cold. She wanted to say something to Gu Wangshu. Something, but I don’t know what to say.
No one said anything along the way until they reached the entrance of Jingya Garden. Zisu had to stop. When Meng Ying saw that Gu Wangshu still didn't look back, she couldn't help but call her to stop.
"Xiao Shu."
Gu Wangshu paused, but still turned his back to her.
The night wind blew Meng Ying's broken hair on her forehead, adding a touch of agility to her pale complexion.
She looked forward to it: "Xiao Shu, buy me a bunch of candied haws tomorrow. I haven't eaten it for a long time."
Hearing the candied haws, Gu Wangshu couldn't help but recall that she and Meng Ying would buy a bunch of candied haws every winter.
In modern times, she didn't like eating candied haws much.
But in ancient times when supplies were scarce, even candied haws, a modern snack that can be found everywhere, was extremely scarce.
She still remembered that she had eaten the most delicious candied haws on a stick when she was nine years old.
In the winter of that year, Meng Ying was taken to the Gu family. In order to cheer her up, her grandmother bought her a bunch of candied haws.
Meng Ying saw that she had no candied haws to eat, so she gave her half of it without hesitation.
She said: "I gave five to my sister, and I have five left. This represents five blessings. Two five blessings put together are perfect."
She was timid then, but kind-hearted.
From then on, every winter, Meng Ying always bought candied haws, and there must be ten hawthorns on a bunch. The two of them each got five hawthorns, which seemed to be a convention.
Gu Wangshu stood there calmly, the darkness hiding her facial expression, but her heart was twitching uncomfortably.
Seeing that Gu Wangshu didn't answer for a long time, Meng Ying asked cautiously:
"This year, can I still eat candied haws on a stick?"
Gu Wangshu took a deep breath.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you tomorrow." After saying that, he took Qiuchi and left with a quick stride.
Meng Ying kept looking at her until Gu Wangshu's back gradually disappeared into the darkness, then she murmured in a low voice:
"It's not for me, but for us. Only two five blessings combined can be perfect."
Speaking of this, Meng Ying couldn't help crying, her cries were suppressed, and Zisu's eyes turned red after hearing this.
"Miss, please stop crying. It was very windy at night and my face was frostbitten."
"Zisu, I almost killed Xiao Shu. I almost stopped being perfect."
Zisu hurriedly pushed Meng Ying into the yard, not forgetting to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Miss. Miss Wangshu is extremely smart. She will not let Concubine Wen succeed in her evil plan. The Second Master will also protect the Gu family. The Gu family's blessings are yet to come."
......
Gu Wangshu returned to Qinxinyuan, took out a small piece of paper one finger wide, and filled it with a pen.
After writing it, she carefully folded it into the size of a fingernail and stuffed it under the pillow.
Silent all night.
He got up early the next day, washed up, put the note he had written in advance last night into his arms, put on his veil, and when everything was ready, Gu Wangshu rushed to Cijing Hall.
When they arrived, Lan Yue was helping the old lady out and met Gu Wangshu at the courtyard gate.
In this way, the group of people left the General's Mansion together, got on the carriage, and rushed to the most prosperous Taiping Street in Yong'an City.
Seeing this, the people who had been hiding in the darkness of the General's Mansion for many days couldn't help but move out, quietly following the carriage.
Gu Wangshu didn't notice these people, but she had expected something like this to happen.
She chatted with the old lady as if nothing had happened and did not tell her her plan.
If you know more, you will easily reveal your flaws. Only when you don't know anything, will your speech and behavior not appear deliberate and make people unable to see any falsehoods.
After a while, Taiping Street arrived.
On the carriage, you can hear the lively shouts of buying and selling, and the aroma of food wafting in the air, always "seduce" the taste buds of diners who have not had breakfast.
When the carriage stopped, Gu Wangshu helped the old lady get out of the car.
The winter morning was chilly, and as far as the eye could see, there were vendors on both sides of the street, as far as the eye could see.
Smoke curls from the cooking pot, and white steam emanates from the steamer, drifting in the breeze.
The strong breath of life is a great enjoyment for sight, hearing and smell.
Gu Wangshu suggested:
"Grandma, it's still early, how about we go to the restaurant for some breakfast first?"
Mrs. Gu did not refuse, and followed Gu Wangshu's wishes and found a nice restaurant to sit down.
From the time they got off the bus to the time they entered the restaurant, their every move was not escaped the scrutiny.
Gu Wangshu chose a seat by the window so that Xizuo could see her. As long as she was within Xizuo's field of vision, the probability of being suspected would be greatly reduced.
Breakfast was served quickly. Gu Wangshu was halfway through eating when Qiu Chi suddenly said:
"Miss, can I help my brother choose clothes first? I will be back immediately after the selection is finished."
Gu Wangshu nodded in agreement, and Qiu Chi left quickly.
Qiu Chi was discovered by Xi Zuo as soon as he left the restaurant.
Xizuo looked up at Gu Wangshu who was sitting by the window, and then at Qiuchi who was walking hurriedly, as if he had something important to do. He hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and followed Qiuchi closely.
upstairs.
Gu Wangshu picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, blocking the sneer rising on his lips.
