Chapter 102: Gongsun Second Uncle
Gongsun Yi saw Xinglan go in sullenly, he didn't dare to joke anymore, touched his nose and followed her, originally for tomorrow's family recognition banquet, he wanted to ask her if she needed anything else. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Inside, Xinglan drank a cup of hot tea, and before Gongsun Yi could speak, she spoke first, "Brother, can you help me with something?"
As soon as he heard Xinglan say so politely, Gongsun Yi was not happy, after this period of getting along, he felt that this sister was good at everything, the only thing was that he was always too polite to them, "Gongsun Xinglan! We are the closest relatives in the world, don't always be so polite, make me feel very rusty, I am your brother, if there is anything, just tell me directly, don't be so polite." Gongsun Yi looked at Xinglan very seriously and said.
For Xinglan's name, Gongsun Nan originally took a name, but Xinglan was unwilling, and besides, this was her mother's name, she didn't want to change it, so Gongsun Nan didn't insist, but no longer surnamed Yang, but called Gongsun Xinglan.
Regarding the issue of tone, Gongsun Yi has said it a few times, but Xinglan can't adapt to it for a while, after all, they haven't lived together for so many years, they don't understand each other, and they can't do what they want when they speak. "Well, I know, it's Wen Niang's business, Wen Niang came to me a few days ago, saying that he wants to leave, but I'm not at ease! You think about how the people of King Jin might let her go if she goes out, but I can't keep her by her side for a lifetime, she has the life she wants to live, I just want you to send someone to protect her until she settles down and there is no danger." ”
"It's a simple thing, of course there's no problem with this, and I'm so polite to my brother. Gongsun Yi patted his chest and assured that he wouldn't mess around if he couldn't do this little thing, and besides, he still had to settle accounts with King Jin.
Xinglan wanted to say thank you, but she swallowed the words when they came to her mouth, if she didn't want to hear Gongsun Yi nagging anymore, it was the best choice to shut up. She smiled at Gongsun Yi, then poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, "Do I need to pay special attention to anything tomorrow?"
As soon as Xinglan said Gongsun Yi, he remembered that he came here to ask about it, "I came here today to ask you, if there is anything you need, as for tomorrow, you don't have to think too much, you also know the situation in the house, all the big men, the second aunt has always been helping to take care of the house, she will help you tomorrow, if there is anything you don't know or understand, you just have to ask her." ”
I have been in the mansion for so long, and I haven't visited my second aunt yet, so maybe she is angry with me and says that I don't know etiquette. ”
"Hey, you think too much about this, the second aunt is very easy-going, she laughs at all times, and some time ago you were not feeling well, and your father said that no one can disturb your rest, and then I went to Lin'an, and there is no time at all, and the second aunt will not blame you. Gongsun Yi said with a big grin, he felt that this was not a problem at all.
But Xinglan's thoughts are different, it's not her conspiracy theory, it's that Wen Niang has instilled in her too many intrigues in the back house before. Gongsun Mansion has a big business, there is no hostess, but let a younger brother and sister to take care of the house, to say that the younger brother and sister have no idea in their hearts, it is impossible, but it is too good for others to see, even if it is really good, it will change the taste after a long time, and now I have come to this way, but I have never even seen it. She is an elder and a junior, so she should take the initiative to visit her no matter what.
Xinglan looked at the hourglass on the side, it was still early, she hurriedly called Xin Wei to dress herself, Gongsun Yi asked inexplicably, "Sister, it's so late, where are you going?"
"Where to go to the second aunt. Xinglan changed his clothes in the room and said to Gongsun Yi outside, "You can go with me later, oh! By the way, you can help me ask Ah Song to find me a set of exquisite facial decorations, and I will take them away later." ”
After about half a pillar of incense, Xinglan finally got out of the west building, and she and Gongsun Yi walked towards the south courtyard with things in their hands.
Gongsun Mansion is divided into four other courtyards, currently living in the west courtyard is Gongsun Nan and Xinglan, the east courtyard is Gongsun Yi, the north courtyard is the old lady Gongsun, and the south courtyard is Gongsun Nan's younger brother Gongsun Yun.
On the way, Xinglan asked, "Brother, tell me about the situation of the second uncle's family, so as not to say the wrong thing when you get it." ”
Gongsun Yi nodded, it was time to tell Xinglan about the situation at home, after all, it was also Xinglan's home now. "The second uncle, Sun Yun, is his father's half-brother and is a concubine. Now he is serving as a transit envoy in Changzhou, taking care of some money and food. The second aunt's name is Zeng Yun, and she is the second daughter of the host and guest official Si Zeng Gu under the ministry. Because my mother is not in the house, but my father and I are not good at managing the back house, so she has been helping to take care of the affairs of the house all these years, and she has always been decent and has not made any major mistakes. The second uncle has a son and a daughter, my son Gongsun Ying is two months younger than me, and my daughter Gongsun Lu is one year older than you. ”
Xinglan nodded and memorized them one by one, and probably had a little bottom in his heart, so as not to make some jokes.
At this time, in the south courtyard, several people who were talked about by Gongsun Yi were sitting together, and Gongsun Lu said unhappily, "I thought it was a great character, it seems that she is really a girl from the countryside, and she doesn't even understand etiquette, and she has been in Gongsun Mansion for so long, and she didn't know how to come to meet her elders first. ”
"A wild girl is a wild girl, how can she compare with my sister. Gongsun Ying flattered his sister, and at the same time despised Xinglan in his heart.
"Whether she is a wild girl or not, as long as she enters the door of Gongsun Mansion, she has to listen to me. Daughter, don't worry, but if it's a good thing, my mother will definitely keep it for you first, my daughter is the eldest lady of this Gongsun Mansion, now it's just that your uncle is a little fresh, and once you find out after a while, she won't like anything, and she is vulgar. Zeng Yun took her daughter Qianbai's hand and said protectively.
It seems that it's really not Xinglan's conspiracy theory, the reality is so cruel, she doesn't want to offend anyone, but sometimes it's not that you don't want to offend, others won't let you go. When you're in a position, there's a lot of stuff that you can't do.
