Chapter Thirty-Seven: Maternal Ancestor Gu Family

Le Yu sat obediently, smiling and watching Gu Shi busy preparing for the sixtieth birthday gift for his biological mother Gu Lao Gongren, with softness and a smile in her eyes.

Gu picked up the Hetian jade carved statue of the Laughing Maitreya Buddha, frowned and looked left and right not very satisfied, always felt that something was wrong and couldn't say it, Le Yu couldn't help but laugh when she saw her distressed appearance: "Mother, how can there be an elder who sends Maitreya Buddha to his birthday? Of course, you have to send the birthday star Weng of the South China Sea."

Gu suddenly realized, patted his head, "Look at me I'm busy." Le Yu got up and helped her sit down, and said with a smile: "As long as we go back to accompany grandma, grandma will be very happy, how can you remember any gifts?"

Gu Shi looked at her with disgust, "Nonsense, your grandmother naturally doesn't care." The Gu family is also a big family, these years of talent withered, it has long been different from the past, Chopin Wei married the Gu family and brought the Gu family, the uncle who was still the seventh product book office is now the fourth grade of the Li Fan Yuan Zuo to participate in politics, the uncle Zhu is still insufficient, often sneering at the Gu family.

Thinking of this, Le Yu's heart softened, in the end, her own family was the burden on them, and that aunt was also mean-mouthed and greedy for money, but she was still very protective of the Gu family in front of outsiders.

Before Chopang Wei entered the door, he saw such a scene, the light purple waist and narrow sleeve shirt and eight water-splitting skirts of Gu's figure were soft and leaned down to pick out the brocade, the smile on his face was gentle and joyful, and he said something to Le Yu on the side from time to time.

Chopard Wei stepped in the door and laughed, "Is Yu'er looting your mother's inventory again?" Hearing this, Le Yu hurriedly put down the teacup, got up with a smile and blessed it, and pulled Chopard Wei and said, "Dad is back," and after obeying the rules, he curled his lips, "Dad wronged me, I didn't."

Gu Shi also put down the things in his hand, waited for Chopard Wei to change his clothes, and waited for Chopard Wei to change into a moon-white bamboo leaf dark pattern cotton robe and come out of the room, before he smiled and said, "No, what are you doing?"

Gu Shi put on the tip of the eight-point hot cloud and mist, and said with a smile: "The beginning of next month is my mother's sixtieth birthday, and we are here to pick a birthday gift."

Chopard Wei has been busy with the Qinghai King's entry into Beijing for two days recently, so he patted his head and shook his head and smiled: "I've been busy these days, but it's not almost the eighth day of the seventh month, it's my mother-in-law's birthday."

Gu Shi was a little apprehensive, bit his lip and said, "If the master is busy, he doesn't have to accompany the concubine back, just have Yu'er." Le Yu looked at Chopinwei's wide-eyed and innocent appearance, and then looked at her mother's aggrieved and resentful face and pretended to be generous, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and bowed: "My daughter will go back first."

Being teased by his daughter, Gu Shi was a little embarrassed, and turned around to sort out the brocade to be brought and put it away.

Chopin Wei couldn't help laughing, there was only tenderness left in the majestic eyes of the court, he stepped forward and hugged Gu from behind, his chin rested on Gu's shoulder, and his tone lingered: "Fool, why wouldn't I go back with you? No matter how busy you are, you will take time, don't be angry, be careful that Yu'er laughs at you."

Gu Shi blushed and said lightly, "How can I be angry, I just don't want you to be embarrassed." Chopard Wei smiled loudly, pulled over Gu's plump and slender body, had not seen Gu for two days, smelled the faint fragrance of his wife's body and couldn't help but be a little emotional, couldn't help but deeply hold Gu's red and small lips, and easily poked out his tongue to sweep and entangle between Gu's white teeth, Gu's body fell softly into Chopard's arms, and he sighed and blushed.

Seeing her father's affection, Le Yu was in a very good mood, and after dinner and evening, she followed Chopard Weigu to greet the old lady, and she was also smiling, and she greeted the old lady obediently and softly, which surprised the old lady.

Speaking of Gu's mother's birthday, the old lady pondered for a moment, and then said: "Gu Laogongren's birthday, I also have to have a part to show that I will not be rude.

This is to make face for the Gu family, the Gu family was overjoyed, bent his knees slightly, and said sincerely: "My daughter-in-law thanked my mother for my mother." The old lady snorted lightly, but also acquiesced, and said: "Since it is a big birthday, I will take a few girls with me, and it is also their grandmother, so you must not lose your courtesy."

Le Xian has been sitting quietly and silently, since that incident, she has been more and more quiet, only dedicated to serving the old lady, and Le Yu seems to have returned to the past, the two are still talking and laughing freely, often sitting and walking together intimately, this will hold the tea cup and smile: "Since it is my grandmother's birthday, our sisters should also make something to celebrate their birthday."

Chopin Wei sat upright, and praised when he heard the words: "It's still Xian'er thoughtful, you are the eldest sister, so you will take your sisters to give them some advice, and when the time comes, won't it be your brilliance?"

The old lady glanced at Le Xian approvingly, she felt a little guilty about Le Xian about Cheng Lingye's previous incident, and she loved and spoiled her more and more, and felt that she was acting more steadily, and she couldn't help but feel very comforted.

Le Yu sat under Le Wan's head, the snow-white fan in her hand covered the arc of her lips that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, Le Xian has become smarter now, no longer in a hurry to find a way back, and knows how to endure.

The old lady looked around and saw that the Zhou family was not giving up, so she couldn't help frowning and said: "Second daughter-in-law, the house wants to give the Gu family a gift list, you have to watch it in person, and it will be two percent more than in previous years."

Zhou was thinking about his own thoughts, her husband loved beauty, and she had long been alone in the empty room, seeing that the housekeeping power was about to be lost, she heard the old lady calling her, and stood up in a panic, "Mother...", the old lady was even more displeased, "I'm talking to you, what are you thinking?"

Zhou was even more embarrassed, tears were about to fall, Gu's heart softened, and he hurriedly said for her: "Mother, the second brother and sister seem to be tired of housework, don't worry." She was kind-hearted, but it made Zhou even more resentful and vigilant in her heart.

Le Xian saw it in her eyes, she just smiled faintly, her expression did not change at all, and only a trace of unpredictable coldness flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Early in the morning of the eighth day of the first month of July, the Gu family took a few daughters out of the Xiao family and went straight to the Gu family in Yude Fang.

Zhu is in her early thirties, dressed very energetically and capably, and her smile is also very refreshing, she stepped forward to grab Gu in a few steps, and said with a smile: "But when you come back, my mother's eyes are green."

Zhu Shi responded with a smile, and took a few people to the main room of the inner courtyard.

Gu was also very excited, and took a few sisters to kneel down under the cushion laid by the subordinates and bowed, "My daughter wishes her mother a longer life than Nanshan, and the green pine is not old." “

Gu's mother shouted again and again, and several daughters You Lexian first took out congratulatory gifts, she lowered her head and said respectfully: "Granddaughter Lexian wishes grandmother a long and healthy life." She had a tassel in her bun today, and the long tassel hung down on her face so that it was impossible to see her expression.

Gu's mother was a little polite to Le Xian, and she hurriedly picked it up and gave a big red seal. Le Xian sent a handwritten longevity word, the huge word is very auspicious, Le Wan sent her own embroidered kang screen, Le Yan is Aunt Li made to wipe the forehead, when it was Le Yu's turn, see her serve the condensed fist fist filial piety made by herself Crane Xiangyun purple red placket trimmed brocade robe, can't help but rejoice, pull Le Yu, just can't wait to hold it in her arms, scruple Le Xian, then disgusted: "Boiling the lamp and pulling oil, strange hurt eyes, don't do it in the future." ”

Le Yan retreated and quietly pinched the red seal in her sleeve, and was looked at by Le Xian, but Le Wan did not squint, but only stood upright with a decent smile.

At this time, there were already some low-level Beijing officials' family members who came first, and they flattered the girls of the Xiao family, saying that this spring and autumn are beautiful, that dignified and demure, especially Le Xian and Le Yu, have been praised all over again.

Zhu Shi was very eye-catching, and seeing that a few people were uncomfortable, he hurriedly pulled over Le Yu and said: "Your cousin is entertaining the ladies in the Winter Snow Pavilion, you know the place, my aunt is very busy today, so I will leave it to you, take my sisters and sisters to play." ”

Le Yu showed a big smile and blinked: "No problem, I am also half a master, so naturally I want to help my cousin entertain guests, but don't forget to give me a big red envelope later." ”

Talking and laughing, he pulled Le Wan and a few people away, Zhu was a little surprised, in the past, he was afraid of losing his identity, and he had to consider every step and every word, but now he is so down-to-earth and generous, and there is a natural closeness in his tone, which makes Zhu sigh that he has grown up and is sensible.

The Gu family is not big, today there are many guests, there are people everywhere, Le Yu pulled a few people and walked around for a while to the courtyard of Gu Qing, the eldest lady of the Gu family.

Gu Qingying came out and said a few words of greeting and entered the house, there were already several young ladies sitting in the house, Gu Qing introduced them one by one, Le Xian was a little excited, these daughters of the small family saw that they were a little cowering and timid, some flattering sycophants, and some pretending to be high and not humble or arrogant, in the eyes of a real proud woman like her, they were all ridiculous and boring. She came with me today, it was just a gesture, not something she wanted, and now she just wanted to perfunctory the past.
