Chapter 226 (1/2)
Gu Jiugang returned to Zhilan hospital, Xiaocui reported.
”The girl came back just in time. The wife sent for the girl to come to the lotus garden to talk, but the maid stopped and didn't let anyone in. Girl, go to the Furong courtyard. If your wife finds out that the girl is out of the house secretly, it will be over. ”
Gu Jiu changed into a servant girl's clothes and put on her own cotton padded robe, which was dark blue and lined with white skin.
”When did it happen?” she asked
”It's time to have a cup of tea.”
Green plum will put on the Cape to Gu Jiu, and then take the brass stove, ”it's cold outside, girl, be careful of freezing.”
Gu Jiu said: ”I don't like to use the hand stove, you bring the warm hand treasure.”
Warm hand treasure looks like a small pillow, hollowed out in the middle, stuffed with thick cotton in the interlayer. Put your hands inside. It's very warm.
Tired, can also be used as a small pillow.
The winter in Beijing is too cold this year. Gu Jiu remembers the popular warm hand treasure of later generations and draws drawings to let them make some.
Hands covered with warm hand treasure, Gu Jiu with servant girl and mother Fang, went to Furong hospital.
Hibiscus courtyard is very quiet, everyone hides in the room to keep warm.
Since Chunhe became the master's concubine, Xie's side has changed the spring grass.
Spring grass looks ordinary, better than careful and thoughtful work.
Knowing Gu Jiu's arrival, she personally picked up the thick curtain of the door. ”Here comes the second girl. My wife has been waiting for you for a while.”
”Hard spring grass sister. How is your wife today? ”
Spring grass lowered his voice and said, ”my wife is not in a good mood today.”
Gu Jiu knows, ”thank you very much, sister Chuncao.”
Green plum is about to put a purse into the hand of spring grass.
Spring grass collected the purse, will Gu nine master and servant welcome into the upper room.
Gu Shan is also there, talking with Xie.
Seeing Gu Jiu enter the door, she stops talking and gives Gu Jiu a courtesy.
”Hello, second sister.”
”Four sisters are polite.”
”What's on the hand of the second sister is very unique.”
Gu Jiu took down the warm hand treasure and handed it to Gu Shan, ”do you want to try four sisters? It's warm.”
Gu Shan took the warm hand treasure, two hands to the inside of a set, really warm.
Gu Shan said with a smile: ”it's really nice, and it's not complicated. If you go out with this thing, your hands will not be afraid of cold. ”
Gu Jiu said: ”it is in order to keep out the cold, just think of this thing.”
Gu Shan took a warm hand treasure and looked at it carefully. It must be made of green plum.
She asked, ”second sister, what's the name of this one? Did you name it? ”
Gu Jiu said: ”I named it warm hand treasure.”
”Warm hand treasure, that's the right name. Mother, look at this hand warming treasure. It works really well
Xie Shi looked at Gu Jiu's eyes. ”Seeing that the wedding date will arrive, two girls still have the mind to do these gadgets, are they idle?”
Gu Jiu smiles and says, ”hello to your wife. Recently, I'm busy instead of idle. However, no matter how busy you are, you can't let yourself freeze. When you have an idea, you think of doing a warm hand sewing job, and then you have this warm hand treasure. If my wife doesn't dislike it, I'll ask the servant girls to do more after a while, and then send one to my wife. ”
Xie's disapproval, ”I look at this warm hand treasure, there is nothing difficult, any sewing maid is better than this.”
Gu Jiu said with a smile, ”my wife said yes. Since my wife dislikes my poor sewing work in the yard, I will not make a fool of myself and give my wife a warm hand, so as not to hinder her eyes. ”
Xie's heart is angry, Gu Jiu really dare to say.
She dislikes, Gu Jiu really dares not to send. Gu Jiu in the end is too straightforward, or deliberately angry with her.
Gu Shan quickly returned the warm hand treasure to Gu Jiu, ”the two elder sisters are clever in mind, and this warm hand treasure is very useful. After going back, I also let servant girl do one, fill a lot of cotton
Gu Jiu said with a smile: ”the more cotton, the warmer.”
Xie snorted coldly, and asked with a straight face, ”I've made people call you. Why did you come here after a long time. Do you really think that if you marry into the palace, you don't have to abide by the rules of the mansion? ”
Gu Jiu chuckled softly. ”My wife also knows that I have been weak since childhood, especially in winter. If I don't pay attention to it, I will get sick. Every time I go out, it's like fighting a war. I have to toss about for a long time. Please forgive me for being a little late today
Xie took the lid of the cup and fiddled with the tea leaves floating on the water.
She glanced at Gu Jiu with a smile. ”From the court to the people, they are talking about filial piety. Do you know if the two girls have ever understood filial piety?”
Gu Jiu looked calm and said, ”naturally, I know filial piety. I will never forget the death day of my mother every year. My father's birthday, I also remember in mind, every year carefully prepared gifts. Even his wife's birthday is not delayed every year, and presents are delivered on time. ”
Xie's eyebrows a smile, look scornful, ”the living are always not compared to the dead.”
Gu Jiu heard the speech and laughed, ”of course, the living can't compare with the dead. It's just that some people want to compete with the dead, show themselves everywhere, but love to be frustrated everywhere, and want me to say that they are just looking for hardship. ”Xie's hand is a meal, holding the tea cup hand blue veins protruding.
The muscles on her face twitched uncontrollably. Blood red eyes, maliciously glared at Gu Jiu.
Taking two deep breaths, she was able to stop her anger.
”It's said that the second master of the Su family has arrived in the capital, and he's coming to give you a wedding?”
Xie restrained his anger and asked about the Su family.
Gu jiulue was surprised. I didn't expect Xie's anger could be suppressed.
It seems that the double stimulation of aunt Tan and Chunhe has made Xie's progress a lot.
Gu Jiu said with a smile: ”the news from my wife is smart. My second uncle arrived in the capital two days ago.”
Xie's eyes scorn, ”some people do not understand the rules, do not know the door to greet. I can't help but care about one or two. ”
Gu Jiu bowed his head and laughed. Xie's this is referring to mulberry and cursing locust trees. There is something in the story.
She said to Xie's family, ”my second uncle went to Beijing to send me a wedding. On the other hand, she was worried about cousin su. When it comes to rules, the Su family is well-educated, and the rules are not wrong.
Father goes out early and comes back late. The second uncle goes to the Yamen to greet him. In addition, the second uncle asked his father to greet his wife on his behalf. Didn't the wife know that? ”
See Xie Shi did not say a word, Gu Jiu said: ”I remember, these two days father rest in spring aunt there. The father forgot to mention it without seeing his wife. I didn't expect to let my wife misunderstand that the Su family had no rules. It really shouldn't have happened. ”
Xie's face sank.
Gu Jiu which pot does not open, mention which pot, is to stab a knife to her heart clearly.
Hsieh raised her eyebrows and said, ”I heard that the Su family was defeated and backward, and the more difficult it was, the more difficult it was for the old servants to sell them. Only a few loyal servants were left to wait on them.
Mr. su er seldom goes to Beijing. He should send a servant to come to the capital even if it is not convenient for him to come to the capital in person. Anyway, let us know that he has arrived in Beijing.
Is it possible that the second master of the Su family didn't take his servants with him? It's still because of the money and the gift of meeting, so we don't even want the rules. ”
Gu Jiu bows his head and laughs.
Now Xie can only find a sense of superiority in the Su family.
Gu Jiu raised his head and said: ”let the wife down, the second uncle with servants, hand money is enough to spend. The reason why they didn't send someone to come to the meeting was because the second uncle didn't think it was necessary. My second uncle is a scholar, so I don't like upstarts. Please forgive me. ”
”What are you talking about? Wanton
”Madame, do you mean I'm presumptuous? Or is it that the second uncle is presumptuous? ”
Gu Jiu looked at Xie's family sincerely.
Xie's face was livid.
She pointed to Gu Jiu and angrily said, ”the Su family bullies people too much. Gu's house doesn't welcome their uncles and nephews to visit.”
Gu Jiu's face sank. ”The Su family came to visit, and there was no need for his wife to welcome him. My mother died, but my brother and I are still alive. Please put your wife in a proper position. You can criticize anyone, but you are not qualified to criticize the Su family. It is not qualified to say that they do not welcome the Su family. ”
The steproom is the steproom, beating the face of the original match's mother's family. Do you really think that Xie's family is so powerful?
The Su family was indeed in decline, but not to the point of being beaten by the Xie family. Is it true that her two brothers and sisters, Gu Jiu and Gu Zhen, are dead?
Xie's adamant way: ”I am Gu Fu second room in charge of the wife, I say do not welcome who door, still need qualification?”
Gu Jiu sneered and said, ”I welcome the Su family, and my father also welcomes the Su family. My father and I are not worth my wife?
Besides, the 16th of the twelfth lunar month is the day of my big wedding, not Gu Yue or Gu Shan. Please find out the situation. ”
Xie said angrily, ”how about your big marriage? I am the wife in charge and your elder. If I say no one is welcome, you have to fight against me, right? ”
Gu Jiu bowed his head and laughed contemptuously, ”at any rate, my wife will not listen to you, but will show your so-called authority. Well, I'll tell my wife in my capacity as the eldest lady of the prince Ning's mansion. On the 16th of the twelfth lunar month, the uncles and nephews of the Su family come to the house and welcome them warmly. Do you understand me? ”
Xie's ridicule a smile, ”two wench, do you have a brain not clear? You are not the first lady of the palace. You are only the second girl of Gu's house. Find out where you are and talk to me again
