Chapter 116: Mother Xu
Last time, Gu Anning didn't go to Jiang's house, but prepared a lot of things to send over, which were also brought by the second lady when she went to Jiang's house, and later realized that those things didn't enter Jiang's house at all, although they were not valuable, they also meant something.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, it snowed heavily, and people were reluctant to get up early in the morning, shrinking in the futon, and after Qingzhu brought the stove into the house and warmed his clothes, Gu Anning shivered and came out.
Qingzhu looked at his own girl's eyes with a faint dark blue, and said unconsciously. "It's not that the girl didn't rest well yesterday, but the bedding has also been added, and it can't be much, and it will be covered thickly. ”
With that, he put down the wooden comb in his hand, rubbed his hands, and went out to bring in the bag with warm water. "It's snowing heavily outside, and it doesn't stop for a while. As he spoke, he put the bag in Gu Anning's arms and continued. "Someone came from the main courtyard to say that it was snowing heavily today, and the girl would come over at the end of the day to say goodbye, and then they would have dinner together. ”
On the eighth day of the lunar month, this day is also the day when the aunts and heirs of each main courtyard gather with their wives and lords in the main courtyard.
"That's great. Gu Anning really didn't rest well at night, her body was cold, but the bedding was warm, and she couldn't warm up because of her cold.
Thinking about it, the man sat on the soft couch, wrapped his thick cloak all over his body, and looked out of the door, because the thick cloth curtain blocked the natural scene outside the door.
After thinking about it, he stood up and paced over, and this time Mother Li was coming in with breakfast, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, a cold wind poured in from outside and blew straight on people's faces.
Gu Anning shrank his neck coldly, buried his face in the cloak and blocked half of it, and looked at the snow scene outside the door with half-squinted eyes.
Mother Li hurriedly put down her food and hurriedly came over to put down the curtain. "The girl is shouting cold these days, don't catch a cold, look at it is the end of the year!"
Gu Anning pursed her lips, couldn't it be that he was in the snow last year that caused his body to be chilled until now?
Thinking about it, I won't go out and have a look.
After eating breakfast, I felt warm after a while. Only then did she go to the soft couch to sit and read, while Li's mother went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of hot tea.
is to know that his girl is afraid of cold, so he put ginger in the tea.
"Mother Lee. ”
Gu Anning glanced up at Mother Li, and Mother Li nodded yes. "Does the girl have orders?"
"My mother has served my aunt for many years. It's also the most intimate on weekdays, and I heard that my aunt has a birthmark on her waist, is this true?"
When Mother Li heard this, she shook her head and said. "Aunt Liu doesn't have a birthmark on her body, but there is a piece on the girl's waist. The old slave also wondered in his heart, didn't he pass on the master?"
Gu Anning thought for a moment and continued. "I'm tired of my mother going to the main courtyard and inviting Xu's mother to come. ”
From Laba 8 to Nian Guan, from 2829 to Chinese New Year's Eve, a few days later, the maid mothers up and down the Gu family were all full of purses.
Today, Laba is a little reward, and the people on the other side of the main courtyard don't give rewards, if they can be people. Mother Xu and Hongling in front of the eldest lady both received a lot.
Li's mother didn't ask much, so she went to the main courtyard to invite Xu's mother over, and her girl didn't mention Hongling and didn't mention her.
Mother Xu just came back from the Rong family, with a happy look on her face, she must have gone to receive the reward, after all, she is the old man in the main courtyard, even if Hongling has more eyes, it is naturally Mother Xu who can really make the eldest lady listen to it.
"Mother Xu. ”
Mother Li hurriedly called Mother Xu, who was coming over, and looked at her, Mother Xu glanced at her at the moment. The joy on his face also subsided a little. "Mother Li, why is it here, the girl doesn't have to come so early to say goodbye. ”
As she spoke, Mother Xu stomped her feet on the spot, and as soon as she spoke, there was a white mist.
"My girl invited Mother Xu to go to North Park. If my mother is free, it is better to go with me. "Mother Li and Mother Xu were familiar with each other in their early years, but unfortunately Mother Li was later sent to serve in North Park, and the master was not powerful, and the people who served had no face.
Mother Xu is the person next to the eldest lady, and it is common sense that she can't look at the other courtyard.
This will sound like Gu Anning invited her over. Now the color is on display. "Girl, but you have something important to explain?"
didn't mention the reward or reward, and followed Li's mother to the North Garden, but in his heart, he calculated that the nine girls finally got into the limelight, and they also added a dowry for the seventh girl last time, which would be enviable if it was rewarded.
Mother Li took Mother Xu into the house, and then said to Gu Anning on the soft couch. "Girl, Mother Xu is here. ”
Gu Anning knew that she was coming, and when she opened the curtain, a cold wind blew in.
Although she listened, Gu Anning didn't speak, Mother Li lowered her head and raised her eyes to take a look, and saw that the girl was concentrating on reading, but she didn't speak.
Li's mother was silent, but Xu's mother couldn't bear to wait, she thought that if she came over, she would have to be seated, and then drink a cup of warm tea and eat a few pastries.
Not to mention that the concubine flattered her, it was the same when she went to the second young lady, but she refused because of etiquette.
At the moment, Gu Anning didn't speak, and Mother Xu couldn't help but say. "What do you have to tell the girl to find the old slave?"
When she asked this, Mother Xu didn't salute, Gu Anning glanced at her, and her eyebrows furrowed suddenly. "It turned out that Mother Xu was here, and Mother Li took a look. ”
Mother Li nodded yes, and went to bring the little dwarf over to come, but Mother Xu was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't sit down. "If the girl has something to do and commands, the old slave will not sit down. ”
"The reason why you are allowed to sit is because I have to look up at you when I am sitting, and if you do not look at your seat, you will not know who is the master and who is the slave. ”
The book in Gu Anning's hand snapped on the table, and Mother Xu pursed her lips and sat down a little unhappily, and the person was a little shorter at the moment.
An Ning knew that Xu's mother had always been steady, and she was the most comfortable in front of her mother, and her mother was tired of taking care of the affairs of the house, if it weren't for Xu's mother to help her. ”
After Gu Anning said this, he took out the prepared purse. "Now that the year is almost over, Mother Xu has to take care of one or two, you can take these. ”
After saying this, I saw that Mother Li took the purse and handed it to Mother Xu, and Mother Xu's hand sank, and the bulging purse must have been a hundred taels.
At that moment, the anger in my heart was gone, and an old face smiled and spoke. "The old slave should do everything, the girl really lifted the old slave, and whoever she serves is serving, if the girl has something to do in the future, just explain it, the old slave will do it with all her heart.
