Gu Zhiqing came here to greet her, and it was not too early, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all, she smiled and came to the old lady's side, holding her arm, "Oh, I'm here just in time, a table of good dishes. , grandma let me have breakfast with me, and I will personally prepare the dishes for you."

She has a sweet mouth, and with her around, Yangxintang can be a lot more happy.

The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, let's sit down and eat a meal, you don't need to cook."

Gu Zhiqing sat beside her with a smile, and from time to time she took the public chopsticks to serve her a dish. The old lady was getting older, and she was not as strict as before, nor did she pay attention to eating or sleeping. Gu Zhiqing did what she liked. She talked about some fun things while eating, which made her old man laugh and shake his head from time to time.

Gu Zhiqing picked up the silver chopstick and sandwiched a bamboo shoot, and said casually, "Grandmother, is Sister Li here today?"

"Well, when you came, she just left not long ago."

Gu Zhiqing sighed, looking a little distressed.

The old lady drank a spoonful of porridge, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Zhiqing hesitated, the old lady asked again, and she said, "It's not a big deal, I'll solve it myself, don't worry grandma."

The more she said this, the more curious the old lady became. "The word "solve" is used. It can be seen that it is not a trivial matter. Come on, what can't you say to your grandmother?"

Gu Zhiqing said: "I may have made Sister Li unhappy. On my birthday yesterday, didn't I prepare a return gift for every girl, I played the 'treasure hunt' for fun, and the girls next to me finally found gifts. , but Sister Li didn't find her, she went straight back to Picking Star Pavilion, but when I brought a gift to find her, I was closed."

Ming Xing also followed: "No, the girl is obviously going to give the return gift, but she didn't even enter the door, and said that she had rested. We were at the door and clearly heard the laughter of the young master, and she was clearly accompanying her. The young master is playing, I don't know how the girl offended her, could it be that she couldn't find the gift, lost someone, and can blame our girl?"

Gu Zhiqing glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense, Sister Li has always been open to all kinds of rivers, how could she be angry with such trivial matters?"

Ming Xing closed her mouth aggrieved.

After Gu Zhiqing finished speaking, she inadvertently glanced at the old lady's expression.

Unexpectedly, the old lady also followed: "Li girl has always been broad-minded, and it is indeed impossible to be angry with such trivial matters. Was there something offensive about the words of those ladies at the banquet?"

Seeing that she couldn't get the eye drops, Gu Zhiqing couldn't help but sneer in her heart, and she didn't know what ecstasy Zhong Li poured into her to make her protect her like this.

Gu Zhiqing said: "I've asked for everything I've been friends with. Everyone knows how much I love Sister Li, so how can I embarrass her? Maybe it's because I'm annoyed that I forced her to go to the garden, she never loves her. Going out, it's my fault, it's so hard to be a strong person. Speaking of which, I was also afraid that she would be suffocated, so I persuaded a few more words. Well, I will visit her again at noon. I have always regarded her as my sister, and it can't be because of a little thing. , it's rusty."

She was giving in every word.

The old lady just nodded and didn't say much.

After walking out of Yangxintang, the smile on Gu Zhiqing's face disappeared, and she said coldly, "The old lady is really protecting her. An orphan who is under the fence is also worthy of her praise. I really don't know what to think."

This is almost to say that the old lady is confused.

Ming Xing didn't dare to answer, her expression was a little embarrassed.

After she left, the old lady crooked on the couch with the help of the maid, her health was getting worse and worse, and after a while, she was already a little out of spirits.

Mammy Zhang pressed her head and said, "Don't worry, old lady, the two girls have always been friends, so how can there be any overnight feud."

But the old lady sighed, "Qing girl has always been strong, she has to compare with Ali in everything, but she will be sullen if she can't compare, why bother."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes. She didn't believe Gu Zhiqing's provocation at all. Her little tricks were really low-level in the eyes of the old lady.

After a while, the old lady said to Mamma Zhang, "Forget it, you'd better go and find out. Don't have any unpleasant things happening at the banquet. Li girl's temperament will definitely suffer."

After returning to the Picking Star Pavilion, Zhong Li accompanies Cheng'er to finish breakfast, and then thinks about the past life. Ever since she was poisoned at Gu Zhiqing's banquet, Zhong Li has always been very cautious. She couldn't think of how she got poisoned without using silver needles. Could there be any poisons in this world that silver needles couldn't test?

This feeling of being invincible made her a little weak. She pursed her lips and planned to study more poisons. In the last life, she was often bedridden, and her learning was really limited. The top priority was to get some self-defense drugs.

She was afraid that Gu Lin would trouble her. She spent a lot of time in her last life to find out where she could get the poison. Now she saved a lot of trouble. She asked Qiuyue to take out the red sandalwood box in the closet. Two hundred and twenty two silver notes.

This is all Zhong Li's belongings.

Mother Zhong came from a scholarly family, and her family was not wealthy. She married for the first time to a military general. Father Zhong was a lieutenant of the sixth grade Zhongxian. When he died in battle, Zhong Li had not yet been born.

His death was a big blow to the two old people. Zhong Li's grandfather and grandmother were not very healthy, and they passed away after a long time. Her grandmother was also a gentle and honest old lady. Seal and leave the book.

Mother Zhong finished the funeral for the old man and kept filial piety for another year before returning to her parents' home with Zhong Li, who was over a year old. Her parents also left early. There was only one elder brother in the family. They get along with each other, and the family is not rich, so they have a few more mouths at once. After a long time, the sister-in-law will inevitably show her face.

Mother Zhong really didn't want to embarrass her brother, so she had the idea of ​​remarrying. She was born beautiful, and she had a high heart. There were quite a few people who wanted to marry her. In the end, it was her elder brother who made the decision and should be offered by the Marquis of Zhenbei.

When she got married, she naturally didn't have much dowry, and the Hou's mansion cost a lot, and she had to pay everywhere, and she used silver everywhere. She was soft on the outside and firm on the inside, and she never reached out to the Hou of Zhenbei for money.
