"The girl is back, how are you doing in the school today?"

Qingzhu was waiting at the door, and when he saw that someone was back, he reached out and took the four treasures of the study.

Gu Anning nodded. "What are you going to eat at noon today?" said he walked into the house quickly.

Qingzhu knew that she had only eaten very fast pastries early this morning, and now she was hungry, so she turned her head and called Qingyuan to the small kitchen, and Qingyuan answered when she went out of the kitchen.

"The girl is back, and hastened to eat. ”

"Well, here we go. ”

Gu Anning was not tired in the school today, but Gu Anchu couldn't wait to be late, and her eyes were dull many times inside and out.

Qingzhu brought the water over, wet the handkerchief and handed it over, Gu Anning took it and wiped it before sitting down.

"Qingzhu, who should be outside guarding the door tonight?"

Hearing his girl suddenly ask about this, he didn't think about answering. "It's Qingtong's turn today. With that, Qingyuan asked someone to bring the meal.

On weekdays, the girl eats lightly, and there are few meat dishes and more vegetarian dishes in Fluttershy, but on the first day of the girl's visit to the school, Qingyuan advocated letting the small kitchen make two more meat dishes.

Gu Anning knew that the person in front of him had a heart, so he naturally didn't speak, ordered the two dishes he added, ate a lot, and waved his hand to withdraw after being half full.

"Why don't you eat more, and you won't come back until you go to the academy in a while, and you can't prepare a small snack. After Qingzhu said this, he was about to bring the pastry over, and listened to his own girl. "Qingzhu, you go and call Mother Ning, I have something to ask her. ”

Qingzhu nodded, went out to call Mother Ning, turned around and went to the small kitchen again.

Earlier, she also inquired, the girl had to go after returning from the school in the first half of the day to rest for half an hour, and I thought that it was really not easier for a scholar to be than a person who worked.

"Girl, are you looking for an old slave!" Mother Ning entered the house and saluted.

"Qingtong can write?"

Mother Ning heard Gu Anning suddenly ask about this and nodded. "Qingtong's girl, I was grinding in front of the young master before, and the young master had a good heart, so he taught her some. As she spoke, she couldn't help muttering in her heart, did the girl want Qingtong to take the place of Qingbei, and then again, Qingzhu, who was the most faceful in front of her, couldn't write.

"Got it, you go down first!"

Gu Anning suddenly asked if it was not for nothing, Qing Glaze could also write, but the words she wrote were intentional but insufficient, referring to the fact that although the words were good, they had no strength.

And Qingyuan and Qingzhu are both less literate, and Qingzhu has little opportunity to practice calligraphy.

After a break, Gu Anning went to the school, and Ning's mother muttered about Qingzhu.

"Qingzhu, do you think the girl is thinking about bringing Qingtong to the house!" Mother Ning is not happy, Qingtong is doing rough work now, which is far worse than Qingbei.

Qingzhu replied in a muffled voice. "What is the girl's thoughts, which can be guessed accurately by those of us who are waiting, whether it is allowed in the house or not, it is not all to make the girl happy. ”

"That's right, but..."Before Mother Ning could finish speaking, Qingzhu interrupted her. "The girl has her own opinions about these things, if you don't have anything else, you might as well inquire about what the eldest lady came to our southern courtyard to talk to the second lady. ”

Qingzhu just sent his own girl to the school, and when he came back, he saw the eldest lady going out of the southern courtyard.

Mother Ning didn't ask again, turned her head and went out.

－－

"Madam, what this eldest lady means, doesn't she want to tell the ninth girl to the eldest young master..."Miao Lin looked at his wife with a worried face.

The second lady sighed. "Do you think, can that girl be the main room of the Jiang family?"

The Jiang family was a general at the beginning, but now, the Jiang family has many officials in the court, and there is very little business, and many of those side branches have sought large and small official positions.

And in Jiang Yuan's generation, he can no longer marry the Gu family, the Jiang family's tree is getting bigger and bigger, and the Gu family is a famous family in Qizhou, I'm afraid that this marriage will not have a good time in the future.

The second lady was born in the Jiang family, and in her father's generation, she heard him talk about the trend of the DPRK and China.

Even putting this matter aside, her eldest brother is extremely face-saving, and he pays attention to the right person when he marries, and when she got married, the only one who opposed her marrying her master was her own eldest brother.

Shu will always be a concubine, and the concubine will also be a lifelong concubine, although An Ning is a good girl, and she has played a lot of clever tricks, but she is not a person who can marry into the Jiang family.

But the eldest lady said so, doesn't she just want to make the decision on this matter, and the nine girls will be decided. "Miao Lin didn't know what his wife thought, it was because the ninth girl entered the South Courtyard that she had a status, but she was far from entering the Jiang family.

The second lady turned her head to look at Miao Lin and said with a sudden smile. "You are in such a hurry, no matter how the eldest lady is, this marriage will not be successful, it is better for you to see, this matter is not for her to decide. ”

Only the marriage between the Jiang family and the Gu family failed, but Gu Anning was not unable to marry into the Jiang family, but he could only marry a concubine or a side branch.

Miao Lin listened to the words of the second lady for the first time and was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, his eyes lit up again, and after thinking about it, he raised his eyebrows lightly and said. "But in this way, the eldest lady has to be the master of the ninth girl, and I am afraid that the marriage will be decided in the future..."

"How could she be such a smart person, she couldn't think of a solution. This she was referring to Gu Anning, the second lady said and pointed to the bonsai placed on the wooden shelf.

"This is the famous narcissus in Zhulan country, the roots are like garlic can make people who are tired of garlic far away, but this narcissus blooms from time to time, and the white bones are straight and beautiful. The second lady said, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth. "The eldest lady has been fighting with me for many years, and before you came, I had some old accounts with her that I hadn't settled. ”

The reason why there is only Gu Youcheng in the second room is because the second lady lost her body when she gave birth to him, and this loss of body is also because the first child fell off.

Miao Lin didn't know about it, but Chun's mother knew, and she lowered her head when she heard this. "What do you mean, ma'am?"

"Gu Anning is like this daffodil, if it is like a garlic root, it would be a pity, but I like her white flower bones straight. ”

Miao Lin seemed to be listening, as if he understood, but also as if he didn't understand.

After the eldest lady left the South Courtyard, Hongling said a little sullenly. "Madam, did the second lady really respond to the matter of letting Madame be the master of the ninth girl?"

Hongling said and took the eldest lady's hand to the north courtyard, and the eldest lady Gao glanced at her without changing her face.

"It's natural to be in charge, but it's just that you don't want to go to the Jiang family!"

The young master of the Jiang family is the maiden family of the second lady, and the side branches of the Jiang Gu family have little contact, although they are in-laws, they can no longer be close to each other.

Yes, the matter of telling people to go to Jiang Yuan was done, but the marriage had to be decided, and when I returned to the North Courtyard, I asked Xu's mother to invite the most famous matchmaker in Qizhou, Hua Gu, to the door.
