Chapter 42: Empty Joy

Zhao Li's family came to visit the Gu family, and in recent days, there are no happy events in the house or New Year's holidays, and it is rare to come to the door in person.

The five girls in the north courtyard listened to the letter early, and this will make the bell come over with the newly made clothes, and specially brought the hairpin given to her by Zhao Li at the Yangchun banquet last year.

At last year's Spring Banquet, Zhao Muyuan came to the Gu family and has always been close to Gu Anqing, the second young master of the North Courtyard, although Gu Anqing is doing business with his father, but he is attached to Zhao Muyuan.

Yes, I came and went, and I saw more than five girls.

The Zhao family and the Gu family were planning to get married, but they didn't find a reason, and the Zhao Li family had already hit the idea on the girl in the fourth room of the Gu family.

But the fourth lady is not very easy to approach, but the eldest lady is reasonable, and it is not too late to mention it after she is familiar with it.

It's just that she didn't expect that this unfilial son would provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked.

The fifth girl, Gu Anyu, is a concubine, if it is a great thing for the concubine, even if the Gu family should not, but if the innocence is gone, it is always necessary to respond.

It's just a concubine, or a married person, it must be the high gate of the Li family in the capital, this is going to be passed out, how many people will be offended by her Zhao family, and how many laughing stocks will be lost, and when the time comes, not only the face of the Zhao family will be lost, but the face of the Gu family and the Li family will be lost.

Zhao Li also took advantage of the fact that there was still room for salvation and went to the door.

The eldest lady felt that the sun was coming out in the west today, and this Zhao Li was a person who had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

Before he drank a cup of tea, Gu Anyu had already come, his face was ruddy with a slight smile, the spring shirt he was wearing was splendid, and the hairpin with small carved beads on his head was bright and moving.

Seeing her, Zhao Li's heart sank again, and he couldn't help but look at her abdomen, the letter said that it had been more than two months, but he couldn't see anything wrong.

"An Yu has seen his mother and Mrs. Zhao. ”

The standard of etiquette, the dignified posture, it is true that she can't find the slightest fault, and she is also a girl with an outstanding appearance.

Zhao Li's is a pity, but he can't help but think in his heart, it is not good to provoke an unfilial son, but it is this fifth girl, and the family affairs are also very good, and the daughter of her family is not as good as a concubine.

is really a famous family for generations, and the daughter of this Gu family who married out has never been a concubine.

This is also where she is embarrassed, if she can let the fifth girl be Mu Yuan's concubine, it will be a blessing for Fengzi to get married, but the Gu family will naturally not agree to this matter.

"Look at how many days you've been sick, and you've saved your morning savings these days, and now you look much better. ”

Gu Anyu had a good mind, pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and said. "Thank you for my mother's care, although I have been sick for a few days, I have been much better since yesterday, and today I can get out of bed and go out, I haven't seen my mother for several days, and I am also worried. ”

Although Aunt Chen is a lot of people and doesn't have much hidden thoughts, this Gu Anyu has seen it since she was a child, which girl who has entered the main courtyard is not careful, but has more or less learned the style of a big girl who has married a few years early.

The eldest lady can like Gu Anyu and it has nothing to do with this.

"Look at these five girls are dignified and virtuous, I don't know that I think they are from the grandmother, and they are also taught by the eldest lady, so I am also a little envious. ”

The Zhao family has a lot of big houses, and Zhao Muyuan's temperament follows the eldest master, all of them are flowery intestines, Zhao Li's heart is broken on weekdays, and the concubines are all heart-to-heart, and the aunts are also restless.

"You have to see how the girl has a good temperament, she is naturally easy to teach, and if she has a bad temperament, how to deal with you secretly is another matter. ”

This refers to Gu Anning.

Zhao Li's family didn't come today to discuss the scriptures from the eldest lady, seeing that Gu Anyu hadn't left yet, his mind was a little unsettled.

"No, I came today, I also think that my third son is not young, after the age of saying that he is married, he did not have a temperament two years earlier, and he has decided to get married this year. ”

The three girls have already been married, and they are still destined to be doll relatives, but after so many years, no one has found the door.

The fourth lady naturally didn't want to approve this marriage, and secretly looked at the sons and daughters of many big families, but the four masters were officials in the court, sincere, and stubborn.

When Gu Anyu heard this, his eyes flashed with panic, the handkerchief in his hand was twisted into a ball, his face looked a little pale, and he opened his mouth. "An Yu thinks that the homework of the last time has not been completed, so he will go back to review and review, and he will have to go to the school tomorrow!"

When the eldest lady heard this, she waved her hand back, turned her head and looked at Zhao Li again, and said. "It's not up to me to make the decision on this matter, even the fourth lady can't hold the matter of the fourth master, you really can't help me with this matter. ”

The relationship is not deep, and the eldest lady will not rashly accept it.

Zhao Li just wanted to respond to Gu Anyu, and then said. "I'm not here today for anything else, I heard that the fifth girl from Fang Cai has a body, and I don't know if it's true or not, so I just came over to inform me. ”

These words are not light or serious, and they seem to have nothing to do with the people of her Zhao family.

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately felt that she had been beaten in the face, and just then said that the fifth girl was dignified and virtuous, and she would talk about pickling again.

"Mrs. Zhao, I don't like to hear what you say, today I really came to slander people when I was full. ”

How could the eldest lady not be annoyed and talk about it for no reason.

Zhao Li didn't say anything else after all, said. "The eldest lady does know how to raise a girl, but this girl will always be moved when she is old, and it is not impossible to see the raw rice cooked and cooked by the young men coming and going. ”

No matter how unhappy the eldest lady is, she knows that Zhao Li is not a foolish person, if it weren't for the matter of chasing the wind and shadows, how would she come to the door to talk about these words.

Without waiting for the eldest lady to speak again, Zhao Li took his leave.

After the others left, the eldest lady asked Hongling to call Dr. Li in person.

And Gu Anyu was still secretly sad in the courtyard, and asked the bell to go to the main courtyard to listen, and when the others came back, the bell was panicked and scared.

"Girl, it's not good, Mrs. Li called Dr. Li over, I'm afraid she is coming to check the girl's pulse. ”

Hearing this, Gu Anyu was stunned, grabbed the bell's arm and said. "Where's the letter I asked you to send, and where did it go?"

"Slave... The slave maid sent it to the Zhao family for the third young master, but..."The bell reacted and immediately burst into tears. "But how could the slave have thought that it would be like this, girl, what should I do now?"

The master didn't cry yet, but the maid cried first, Gu Anyu touched her abdomen, although it was only more than two months, it was a little bigger than usual.

The eldest lady did not ask Dr. Li to check Gu Anyu's pulse, but Mother Xu also brought a bowl of soup and white silk.
