Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me
Chapter 92: That Old Master Gu is a Person Worthy of Respect
Mu Qingli didn't know about the border situation yet. At this time, she was already standing at the door of Gu's house and had just handed in a visiting card.
In fact, given the close relationship between the two families, she could have walked in directly without handing in a visiting card, but since she was visiting the old tutor of the Gu family, there were naturally some rules to follow.
That old Grand Tutor Gu is a man worthy of respect!
When the doorman came to report the news, Fang Jiale was still a little confused. It was normal for Ali to come to the mansion to play, so why did she pass on a visiting card? It wasn't until the doorman handed the visiting card to her that she understood. After thinking about it, she raised her hand and instructed the maid beside her.
"Go and invite the eldest son over. Tell him that Ali is here and wants to see the old master. Ask him to accompany you."
Fang Jiale's face was full of satisfied smiles. The old man had said before that if the two children could develop a good relationship, the marriage would go more smoothly. She was planning to let Ali come home to play after her son's autumn examination.
I didn't expect that the child would come to the door on his own initiative and come to see the old man. In this way, even if the news gets out, no one will say anything, and it will not harm the reputation of the two children.
As her personal maid, Mu Zhi understood her meaning best. She immediately bowed with a smile and left, then turned around to look for Gu Luoheng.
When she entered the courtyard, Gu Luoheng was reading a book. He had been very attentive as the Autumn Examination was approaching. He also planned to let his mother go to the Mu family to propose marriage after the Autumn Examination.
After Mu Qingli handed in the visiting card, he was quickly welcomed by the housekeeper to sit in the main hall, where he was served with good tea and cakes.
Qixue stood quietly behind her, and a smile appeared on her lips when she saw this.
When she was a child, she heard some adults say that to see whether her future husband's family values her, she had to look at his family's attitude towards her. This time, she followed her master back to see whether her master's fiancé treated her well.
Looking at the attitudes of these people, she felt relieved.
Qilan was not far away from her and sensitively noticed the change in her expression. She imitated her master's previous behavior and pressed her eyebrows and smiled helplessly.
Most people in the Ferry Pavilion dote on the girl, but if you really count, the one who cares about the master the most is Qixue. It is obvious that in the past few years, Master Gu would write a few letters to the girl from time to time through the young master's channels, and even send gifts during festivals.
She saw that although the two had not been formally engaged, their relationship had always been good. With the girl's ability, there was nothing for her to worry about. Master Gu did not look like a heartless person. There was also the old Grand Tutor watching over them. At worst, they could just get a divorce.
Mu Qingli didn't notice the exchange of glances between the two girls, and calmly drank the tea that the maid from the Gu family had just poured for her. Not to mention that the Gu family had been favored by the emperor in recent years, and the emperor had also rewarded the mansion with many good things.
But it’s better this way. As long as the emperor still cares about Old Tutor Gu, at least nothing will happen to the Gu family before something happens to the Mu family, and she can feel more at ease.
Unexpectedly, she heard familiar footsteps just after she took a few sips of tea. She subconsciously raised her eyes and met a pair of deep and somewhat joyful eyes. Then a smile appeared on the corners of her lips and she stood up and greeted with a smile.
"Why are you here? Hello, Aunt Muzhi. I didn't know if I would disturb Aunt Fang by coming here without any prior knowledge."
"This servant pays her respects to Princess Anle. Madam is very happy that the princess is willing to come to her home, but she has some unfinished business at the moment, so she asked the eldest young master to take you and accompany you to meet the old master. You young people may be even happier if you meet the old master together."
Mu Zhi looked at her and saw a gentle smile on her lips. She knelt down and saluted with a smile.
She has been with the lady all these years, and not including the five years when Mu Qingli was away, she has watched the child grow up. Naturally, she is very satisfied with the future mistress of the Gu family.
This was the meaning of asking Gu Luoheng to accompany her, and it even gave Mu Qingli the illusion that she would meet his parents later.
Mu Qingli's eyes were smiling, the smile on the corners of his lips became softer, and he nodded in agreement.
"Then it would be a great honor for you, Master Gu, to accompany me on this journey. I haven't seen the old master for a long time, so I wanted to come and visit."
In fact, the old tutor also attended her coming-of-age ceremony last time, but the old man was old and didn't like such lively occasions after all, and he didn't like people always coming up to him and trying to build good relationships with him, so he only stayed for a while and left early.
But it was precisely because of this that she made this trip.
Gu Luoheng is usually serious, but when his eyes fall on her, he always becomes gentler unconsciously, with the corners of his lips slightly raised and he nods.
"my pleasure."
This child is so good-looking and filial, he is really lovable.
Mu Zhi's eyes were filled with gentleness and doting. She watched them leave side by side with almost a smile, and then she couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
"Not to mention, these two people look very compatible just from the back."
Mu Qingli had good hearing and could clearly hear Aunt Mu Zhi's soft sigh. He subconsciously lowered his eyes and glanced at the ground.
The sunlight shines down, clearly illuminating the shadows of several people. The shadows change as they move, but you have to know how to look at them, it really gives a feeling that they are relying on each other.
She was so absorbed in watching that she suddenly heard a gentle voice next to her ear. If she listened carefully, she could hear a hint of involuntary grievance.
"What are you looking down at? Did you call me the wrong name just now?"
Hearing his voice, Mu Qingli came back to her senses instantly and quickly realized what name he was calling her. She glared at him in reproach, feeling somewhat helpless.
"It's nothing. You can't let me call you Brother Heng in front of Aunt Muzhi? It won't be good if others hear it."
When Gu Luoheng looked at her, there was always a gentle gleam in his eyes, and his voice was low, magnetic and pleasant.
"It doesn't matter. Even if I don't call you that now, I'll have to change it in the future. Even calling you Brother Heng won't last long."
The implication of these words was so obvious that Mu Qingli felt a little embarrassed. She glared at him in reproach and then continued walking forward, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Gu Luoheng raised his foot and followed with a smile, chatting with her in a gentle and doting tone.
The servants following the two of them and Qilan and Qixue looked at each other and consciously stepped back a few steps. They followed silently behind, looking at their backs with smiles on their faces.
The old master likes quietness, so his courtyard is naturally secluded. Fortunately, after walking for a while, the few of them finally found a place.
The Gu family was a large family with many servants. A tactful servant had already reported the news to Old Master Gu, so when the two of them arrived, they saw Old Master Gu standing at the door with his guards.
Seeing the two of them coming side by side, he even smiled and said hello, "Little Ali is here? How come you have time to come and see me, old man?"
Mu Qingli also liked this old man very much. He almost walked over to him and saluted. "Ali greets Grandpa Gu. I came to thank you for taking care of our family over the years."
