Chapter 227 (1/2)
As soon as Mr. Gu returned to the mansion, he learned that Gu Jiu gave gifts to everyone, but ignored Xie.
Mr. Gu is trying to say that Gu Jiu is too ignorant and polite.
Then I heard that Gu Jiutong had a quarrel with Xie because of the Su family.
The housekeeper Gu Quan said, ”the wife said that the Su family was not polite enough to have a wedding reception. The second girl got angry and argued with her wife. I heard there was a lot of noise. ”
Mr. Gu frowned, ”the Su family is the uncle's house of two girls. She married, and the uncle is big. Does the wife not understand this truth? It's not right for the second girl not to give her a gift, but it's also the wife who takes the blame. ”
Therefore, Mr. Gu should not know about it. On the contrary, he was also reminded that on the wedding day of Gu Jiu, no one should be disrespectful to the Su family.
Xie was angry and fell ill again that night.
The eldest wife, Zhang, murmured with the eldest and youngest grandmothers, ”the second wife is becoming more and more delicate. If you want me to say, she is too narrow-minded to find herself happy all day. The Su family is the uncle's house of the two girls. If you don't live in the capital, you can't go to the capital to drink wedding wine. ”
”The second aunt is angry and confused. My uncle is big. I don't understand this truth.”
The eldest wife, Zhang, said, ”it's not that she doesn't understand, but she pretends to be confused. She just wants to rely on the status of the second room's wife and the face of the Luosu family.
Your aunt Su died for so many years, but it is still a thorn in her heart.
Although the Su family was in decline, they insisted on farming and reading, and they would rise one day.
Xie's family is different, but he is a nouveau riche with no details to speak of. As soon as Xie Mao died, Xie's family was beaten back to its original form.
Facing the Su family, she has no confidence and is guilty, so she doesn't want to let the Su family come. ”
Xie, who has a weak heart, doesn't think he is guilty.
She believes that Gu Jiu is unfaithful and unfilial, and is a traitor.
Even more chilling to her was the attitude of Mr. Gu.
What's the reason why Mr. Gu didn't reprimand Gu Jiu for her recklessness, but sent someone to beat her?
Xie couldn't think of it. Seeing that the marriage date was approaching, she lay on the bed and couldn't get up. He is determined to block Gu Jiu's wedding.
Zhang, the eldest wife, took time to visit Xie's family and advised her to be more open-minded.
Gu Jiu got married, and somehow he gave some face.
But Xie cried in front of Zhang's face, ”sister-in-law, my heart is bitter. As a step-by-step wife, she has been on thin ice for years, asking herself that she has done her utmost to be kind to her two girls and her brothers and sisters. She has no debt. What did I get in return? These years' efforts are not worth it
Zhang secretly rolled his eyes, Xie really dare to stick gold on his face.
But she still advised, ”OK, OK, I know that you are suffering. In a few days, Xiao Jiu will get married. When she gets out of the house, the house will be deserted again. ”
Xie's voice stopped crying, ”sister-in-law's kindness, I understand. It's just that I can't get up for a while. But my sister-in-law can rest assured that I will give her a ride in person if she says anything on her wedding day. ”
Seeing Xie's intention to get angry, Zhang didn't go on persuading him.
Some servant girls of Qingmei are worried.
”If the wife is still ill, will it affect the girl's marriage?”
Gu Jiu laughed, ”what are you afraid of? She'd better not show up. ”
Mother Fang also said, ”the wife is affectation. If she was twenty years younger, she could still be pitied by the master. Now that she's old enough to play this routine, it's only going to annoy the Lord. ”
Gu Jiu said, ”don't worry about her. Mother Fang, take a hard trip. Send these two prescriptions to the old man, and tell him to take good care of his body and live a few more years
Mother Fang took the prescription, ”two girls have filial piety.”
Gu Jiu shook his head and said, ”grandfather treated me well. I just did my duty.”
”I will send the prescription to the old man.”
Mr. Gu received the prescription and said disgusting words on his mouth. He said that Gu Jiu had a lot of things to do, but he also used it in his heart.
When mother Fang left, he murmured to his concubine, ”Xiao Jiu, the child, still cares about me.”
The concubine said with a smile: ”if the two girls really care about the old man, why don't you come to see him.”
”You know a fart. You're a pig's brain. You're only good for drinking. ”
In the twinkling of an eye, it's the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Forty thousand taels of dowry, together with 25000 taels of dowry, were placed in the flower hall.
Xie refused to show up, and Mr. Gu didn't force her. Anyway, he had no hope for Xie.
He asked his wife, Zhang, directly to greet the guests.
The eldest wife, Zhang, and his grandmothers and grandmothers, greet the guests in the flower hall.
The Marquis was the first to arrive.
See full of dowry, are happy for Gu Jiu.
”With these dowries, when you get to the palace, you will have enough confidence.”
After all, the elder lady and the younger Wei's family added a pair of headgear to Gu Jiu, which was worth several hundred Liang.Gu Jiu busy said: ”thank you for your money.”
”You child, what are you polite to me. The hand warming treasure you sent last time is very good. You have a mind. ”
Gu Jiu some embarrassed, ”the needle and thread is rough, don't dislike the hall aunt.”
Mrs. Wei said with a smile: ”the needle and thread are not rough, that is, the materials used are not exquisite enough.”
Finish saying, she lets servant girl take up new work warm hand treasure.
As expected, it is much more exquisite than Gu Jiu sent.
The inner layer is made of cotton, which is warm. The outer layer was satin, embroidered with rich peonies and bordered with gold thread. At first glance, it's used by wealthy ladies.
Gu Jiu blushed, ”or the maid around the hall aunt is skillful. This hand warming treasure is exquisite, beautiful and warm. ”
The big lady and the little Wei Shi said with a smile, ”you child, you really can talk.”
Mrs. Gu gave a bracelet to Mrs. Wang feicui.
The third lady, Duan, added several brocade cotton pieces to Gu Jiu, as well as some gold and silver Kezi.
The eldest Aunt Zhang also gave Gu Jiu a pair of jade bracelets.
The same cloth was added by the grandmothers and grandmothers.
The girls in Hou's house took Gu Jiu to the wing room to talk.
They take out their own carefully prepared make-up gifts, which are much richer than those outside.
There are four treasures of study, ancient books, calligraphy and painting.
”I know that sister Xiaojiu loves reading, so I've collected it from the old Marquis's study. Does Xiaojiu like it?”
Gu Jiu held the ancient books and couldn't put them down. ”I like it,” he said happily
Gu Shan, Gu Lin and Gu Jun also gave gifts to make-up.
They prepare all kinds of needlework.
Gu Shan prepared 30 purse bags embroidered with gold thread. ”When the second elder sister arrives at the palace, he will inevitably reward the servants. I want to make more purse bags for the convenience of the second sister.”
”Thank you very much, fourth sister. You are so considerate.”
A purse embroidered with gold thread is worth five silver coins. It's OK to reward the servant girl with a purse.
Last night, green plum was still worried about the insufficient purse for reward.
Together with Qingzhu, she prepared 200 bags.
As a result, mother Fang checked and said that it was not enough, and she was anxious to death.
Green plum pulled green bamboo and little maid in the yard, and rushed to make a hundred bags all night, making up 300.
Tonight, they will continue to make purse strings.
The thirty bags with gold thread sent by Gu Shan solved their big problems.
Gold thread is difficult to embroider. Now it is too late to embroider purse with gold thread.
Gu Shan's gift is just right for you.
Gu Lin and Gu Jun also gave sewing. Handkerchief and purse are very practical.
The servant girl reported, ”Auntie, Sangu and Han are here.”
Granny Han is Gu Mei, sister Mei.
On hearing Mei's sister coming, Gu Jiu hurriedly welcomed her out.
”Sister Mei.”
Gu Jiu's eyes, all of a sudden notice Gu Mei slightly raised abdomen.
