Chapter 35 It’s always good to be ambitious

Author: Naughty Gu Gu

"Next time we play chess, I'll give you three sons."

Even if she gives in to the third son, she can't win.

Shen Qiqi raised her eyes to look at him, the curve of her pursed lips widened and disappeared again, and she raised her hand to retrieve the chess piece.

"Then I will study hard with my husband, and when my cousin comes back, I can show off his spirit."

You know clearly that you can't win, but you still dare to let go of your big words.

A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but it quickly disappeared before he was discovered.

"It's always good to be ambitious."

He sighed. Shen Qiqi listened and felt that there was something in his words. She couldn't understand it for a moment. He didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he could only ignore it.

"Cousin, do you want to do it again?"

After being hit one after another, Shen Qiqi didn't want to do it again, and just wanted to wait until she became more mature before competing with him.

"No, you have a good rest, it's time for me to go back."

Night has completely enveloped the sky. If you stay in her yard any longer, you will be criticized if word spreads.

He stood up as he spoke, and Shen Qiqi was about to stand up to see her off. A shadow fell over her, and the next moment, a big palm pressed on her left shoulder.

"No need to give it away."

Shen Qiqi said "Okay" and sat back down.

Gu Tingshu left the house, stood at the door and looked at the gold and silver treasures guarded on the left and right, and said in a cold voice: "Take good care of the girl. If there is any situation, you can go to Dali Temple Qingzhuang Yucheng."

"yes!"

It wasn't until Gu Tingshu left the yard that Jinbao Yinbao dared to breathe freely. The two of them covered their chests and looked at each other, both seeing in the other's eyes the feeling of surviving a disaster.

It's so scary. It's so scary. Master Hou is getting more and more scary.

I had the same tone when I spoke to the girl just now. How come I couldn't detect the hostility? But when it comes to them, the words I speak are like a sharp sword. If you are not careful, you will be pierced through the heart.

The two of them wiped away the cold sweat on their foreheads and fanned their faces with their hands. They did not dare to go in to serve him until they behaved as usual.

"Girl, the Marquis has gone back."

"Um."

Shen Qiqi sat on the soft couch and slowly put away the chess pieces. After a few breaths, she raised her head and asked a little: "Do you think I should learn piano skills?"

In the entire city of Kyoto, apart from her, I'm afraid there won't be another woman who can't play the piano.

She has never learned it, and if she starts learning it now, she will definitely suffer more than others.

Jinbao and Yinbao looked at each other and shook their heads in perfect agreement, "If you don't want to learn, girl, then you won't learn."

"It's just something that is used to kill time. If you have to work hard and suffer for it, it's not worth it."

It was just a whim, but with Jin Bao's advice, the little flame that had just popped up was extinguished in an instant.

Shen Qiqi nodded in agreement, "What you said is extremely reasonable, so I'd better not learn from it."

Although she had a lot of free time, her chess skills almost consumed all her attention, and she really couldn't spare any time to learn other things.

After making a good excuse for herself, Shen Qiqi stood up with a smile, "Let's go to bed early and get up to see off my cousin tomorrow morning."

There were too many people in the outer courtyard, so she didn't go to the gate to see them off. She could just go to Changfeng Pavilion to see them off.

"The slave will wake the girl up early tomorrow."

She was suddenly called a slave again, and Shen Qiqi was not used to it. She looked at her twice before going aside to take off her jewelry and clothes.

"After seeing my cousin off and coming back for breakfast, just call me half an hour in advance."

Jin Bao helped her take off the hairpin from her head, and after hearing this, she said "Okay" in a low voice.

The next day.

These days, Shen Qiqi was used to sleeping until dawn before getting up, and suddenly resumed her previous routine. Shen Qiqi was still not used to it, so after getting up, she sat leaning against the bedside for a while before she woke up.

Seeing that she was dazed, Aunt He was afraid that Jinbao would not serve her well, so she came over to dress her up.

By the time Shen Qiqi was fully awake, grandma had already dressed her up and she only needed to change her clothes before she could go out.

"What kind of dress is the girl wearing?"

There were several sets of newly made clothes in the cabinet. One look at them and it was obvious that Nanny Lin had rushed them out as she was afraid that she would be laughed at because she had no clothes to change.

"The clothes made by Grandma Lin are very beautiful, you can just wear them as you like."

"Mother He remembers to tell Mother Lin that these clothes are enough. There is no need to stay up late sewing anymore."

There are only about ten pieces of clothes made these days. These clothes are very rare for other girls in the house, but when it comes to my own girl, she actually says it is enough.

These are just spring clothes, there are still clothes to be made for summer, autumn and winter. Then they will have their hands free. Not to mention this cabinet, even this room may not be able to store those clothes.

"Girl, you don't have to worry about this. The old slaves know it well. This is all according to the rules of the house."

The government stipulates that girls have twelve pieces of clothing per season, but in addition to the regulations stipulated by the government, you can also take money to ask an embroiderer to sew it outside.

Therefore, there is no fixed price for things like clothes. It depends on whether you can afford them.

Shen Qiqi used to wear out-of-season clothes, not many in quantity, and no one had ever told her this. Naturally, she didn't know these rules, so she just nodded in agreement when she heard what Aunt He said.

"I don't understand this either. Since grandma knows what's going on, she can just figure it out herself."

"Okay, girl, let's change clothes first. I'll go get two lanterns."

The night was still dark, and the lights in the house were almost extinguished by this time. If I didn't hold a lantern, I might not be able to see the road clearly.

Nanny He bowed and retreated. Shen Qiqi changed her clothes behind the screen, and then went out with her gold and silver treasures after tidying up.

Changfeng Pavilion was now brightly lit, and there were more than ten or twenty guards standing in the courtyard, but they could not even hear their breathing.

Shen Qiqi followed Eleven. When she entered the door, she looked back and saw that the guards were all covering their faces with black cloth and wearing long swords at their waists. They had a murderous aura, and her heart couldn't help but thump.

How dangerous is it to take so many people there?

"Girl, the Marquis is inside."

Eleven pushed the door open and did not dare to go in. He just stretched out his hand to signal to Shen Qiqi.

Jinbao and Yinbao were blocked outside the door together. Shen Qiqi thanked her before walking into the house with her skirt in hand.

As soon as she entered, the door was closed by Eleven, blocking everyone's prying eyes.

"It's not that I don't need to send it, so why did I return it?"

A cold voice came from the side hall. Shen Qiqi walked around and saw Gu Tingshu getting dressed, so she stopped where she was, wondering if she should go there.

Gu Tingshu put on his coat and looked up at her when he picked up his cloak. Seeing that she was hesitant, he raised his hand to wave to her, "Come here."

"cousin."

Shen Qiqi took a few steps forward, bowed and stood three feet away from him, looking up at him.

She was born petite. Even with her back straight, the top of her head could only reach her chin. She stood as cute as a fragile doll.
