The fourth lady was slightly stunned, and quickly said: "That's the case, one of my cousins' birthday is coming, and I, who have been a cousin, have been thinking about what to give as a congratulatory gift these days." I thought that my cousin and the fifth sister are not much different in shape, and they are similar in age, and their habits are probably similar, so I want to ask the lady of the Xu family to help make a set, and I have a congratulatory gift to send over. ”

Gu Zhirong seemed to really believe it: "Fourth sister, you take your cousin's size, and I will let Mu Jin send it to the Silk Clothes Workshop." As the so-called slow work produces meticulous work, although this Xu family lady is slower, but the workmanship is impeccable, I guarantee that your cousin will like it when she sees it. ”

After speaking, he really called Mu Jin loudly.

The fourth lady hurriedly waved her hand and said: "I understand the kindness of the fifth sister, wait until I ask my cousin, get the size, and then bother the fifth sister, okay?"

Gu Zhirong smiled even deeper: "Okay, then I'll wait for the fourth sister's notice." ”

Mingyue on the side pursed her lips secretly.

Although the Yuanning Hou Mansion is said to be a five-grade official residence, but the family has a thick foundation, and the food and clothing of the people in the mansion have always been considered luxurious, and the money spent is also large, and the tailor ladies selected for the ladies in the mansion are not comparable to those tailors in the city. Just a piece of clothing made for the ladies is several times more expensive.

And the fourth lady's mother, the second lady, is not from a high background, and the family is not particularly wealthy, as for her cousins and cousins, they are all poor relatives, and they always go to Beijing to find the second lady to rub money. Therefore, when she heard that Miss Fourth said that she wanted to make a set of clothes for her poor relative, Gu Zhirong felt funny. She thought that Miss Fourth had really changed sex.

Facts have proved that Miss Fourth will definitely not spend an extra penny for those poor relatives.

The fourth lady was slightly embarrassed, she just said it casually. Purely to cope, I didn't expect the ghost girl in front of me to climb up the pole, forcing her to pay for the money to make clothes for the poor cousin.

In fact, how could she be willing to spend this money? Her poor relatives asked for money every year, making them jump in the second room and avoid it. If she had done so with kindness and made clothes for them, she would have attracted the poor demons again. You have to be told to death by your mother!

Gu Zhirong pretended not to know, but still said enthusiastically: "The fourth sister wants to make clothes, but you have to hurry." Take your cousin's size, and I'll send it over for Miss Fourth quickly. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, looked at the fourth lady very seriously, and said, "Fourth sister." Honestly. The lady of the Xu family in this silk clothing workshop is incomparable to other tailor ladies. She came from a famous family, but she has fallen in the past twenty or thirty years, married to a local Xiucai surnamed Xu, and her family is considered to be rich, why is she uneasy to be a young lady at home and enjoy Qingfu? That's because she likes to do her own things by nature, so she opened this silk clothes shop. It's not about making money, it's purely for a hobby. So. If you want to send clothes as a gift, you have to book it with the clothes shop in advance. This lady of the Xu family is very weird, it's not that you have to give face to a big family, there is no such rule in her, she believes in first-come, first-served, if you book late, it will really be a mistake. ”

The expression on the fourth lady's face was extremely unnatural: "Oh, there are such rules in the Silk Clothes Workshop, it's really special." "Then ......," she moved, as if to stand up, "then I'll go back and find my cousin and get her size." ”

Gu Zhirong didn't allow her to stand up, stretched out his hand to grab her, and pulled her back to sit on the chair: "Fourth sister, don't worry, drink a cup of tea first." The cousin you're talking about is Jane'er, right?"

The fourth young lady was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Zhirong in surprise. She was surprised that Gu Zhirong actually knew her cousin. To tell the truth, what she said just now was nonsense, Zhen'er's birthday has long passed, where do you need to give any congratulatory gifts? And she came to Liuyun Courtyard for no reason, there must be an excuse, so after thinking about it, I thought of using Zhen'er's birthday as an excuse. She didn't expect that Gu Zhirong would actually recognize Zhen'er.

Gu Zhirong laughed: "Sure enough, it's Zhen'er." I remember when I was nine years old, she came to play in the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, and I gave her a pair of bracelets. That day, I accidentally fell into the pond, and Jane stood on the edge of the pond, crying loudly. ”

The fourth lady's face turned white.

That was five years ago, at that time, they wanted to swallow the rich land of the third room, so they rarely joined forces to attack the third room. If you do it yourself, you will be said to be sisters killing each other, and your reputation will not be good. So they set their sights on the people outside the house.

The second room and the third room each have about one family to come to the Yuanning Marquis Mansion to play, the second room invited the only son of the eldest lady's brother, and the third room invited their cousin Kong Zhen over. It was up to Kong Zhen'er to pull Gu Zhirong to the edge of the pond, and then, the general's son took advantage of the situation and rushed over, pretending to hit Gu Zhirong, knocking her into the pond and drowning.

Their wishful thinking played very well, the third room had no successor, and the third master died again, so they were brought forward by the old lady and passed a child to her. When all the land was in hand, they divided it into fifty and fifty and took half of each.

It's a pity that Gu Zhirong fell into the pond and didn't drown, and woke up after being in a coma for seven days and seven nights. In this way, their wishful thinking came to naught, and the cooked duck actually flew, and they hated it so much that their teeth itched.

In the past five years, no one has talked about it. And Kong Zhen'er's family, after getting a lot of benefits from their second room, was actually addicted to their second room, and there was a slight disagreement with them, taking the events of the year as an example, the second lady had to obediently meet their requirements.

This is stealing chickens and rice.

Miss Fourth has always regarded this incident as the most failed thing in her life and never thought about it. Now that Gu Zhirong said it, she faintly felt a little uneasy: This Gu Xiaowu actually mentioned the incident five years ago for no reason, could it be that she thought about it for five years and what she thought of?

Gu Zhirong didn't seem to see the fourth lady's expression getting more and more ugly, and still said to herself: "It's strange, this Zhen'er, I won't come to our Yuanning Hou Mansion to play after that, I used to get along with her quite well, and if she doesn't come to the mansion, I don't have any friends." After all these years, must she have grown a lot taller? Is she still the same crybaby as she was back then? Looks like I'm going to have to find some time to visit this childhood friend. ”

The fourth lady's heart "Geden" sounded, and cold sweat broke out in her palms.

What does this Gu Xiaowu mean? What do you want to see Kong Zhen'er for no reason? That Kong Zhen'er has fished oil and water from their second room for so many years, eats fat head and big ears, and is not sick or sick, what do you see?

"Actually...... Actually, you don't have to go out of your way to see her, that little girl...... Crazy. The fourth lady stammered for a while, "She is a playful person, how can she be as stable as the fifth sister? My cousin doesn't even know how many times she has been ......."

obviously didn't want Gu Zhirong to have any contact with her.

Gu Zhirong let out an "oh" and said, "That's okay, I won't go to play with her for the time being." But the gift still has to be given, and I asked Yahuan to send a congratulatory gift in advance, and by the way, I told her that the fourth sister was going to give her a big gift to make her happy. ”

The fourth lady choked on a sip of tea in her throat, couldn't go up and down, coughed several times, and then relieved her breath and said: "The fifth sister is really good to Zhen'er, I thank Zhen'er." As for my big gift, as a cousin, I naturally want to give it, my own family, hehe. ”

The fourth lady is now difficult to ride a tiger, and Gu Zhirong has an army, and she said that she should tell Kong Zhen'er in advance that she would send a big gift. has been forced to this part, can you not send it? Moreover, that Kong Zhen'er is not a vegetarian, if she goes back on her word, and says to send it but regrets not sending it, she really doesn't know that Kong Zhen'er will shake something out to this Gu Xiaowu!

Therefore, the current Miss Gu Si was sitting on pins and needles, feeling uncomfortable, and after taking another sip of tea, she put down the teacup and hurriedly fled back to her yard. (To be continued......)
