Chapter 68: The Beads
"Girl, the ninth girl of the Gu family returned the book and brought a letter. β
In the past three days of the Hu family's banquet, the three books that Gu Anning borrowed were read quickly, and they were sent to the Hu family today.
Xia Chun put the letters on the table, turned around and took the books one by one and put them back in the distance.
Hu Linxia's most trusted thing is Xia Chun, the books in this room are placed by her on weekdays, and she follows her own girl, and she has practiced a lot of ink and pen, and the so-called close to Zhu Zhechi is nothing more than that.
Hu Linxia is counting this month's account book, and in addition to the big man, she is the driving force behind the business of the account room.
Outside, everyone knows that the three girls in the Hu family's room have a good calculation, and there has never been a mistake in and out of the account, if it weren't for the smell on her body, the person who came to the door would have broken the threshold.
"She's reading so fast, you can click on the books she's read and give them over. Hu Linxia didn't raise his head to explain, and his fingers quickly flicked the abacus in his hand.
After the calculation, the ink pen fell on the paper and wrote them down one by one, and then took the letter apart and read it.
After reading the letter, Hu Linxia had a surprise on his face, and turned his head to Xia Chun, who was picking out books. "Go down now and see if the master has come back. β
Xia Chun looked at his girl suspiciously, put down the book and walked out quickly.
Looking at the maid going out, Hu Linxia hurriedly took out the beads he had collected the year before last, the beads were inconspicuous, but an ordinary ore in Nanwai was finely polished, and small vendors on the streets of Nanwai could be seen everywhere.
But the kind of beads mentioned in Anningxin's letters can still be carved by him, although it is the first time I have heard of it, but it is indeed rare.

"Girl, the second young lady invites the girl to come over!"
Qingzhu walked quickly, and when he entered the house, he brought out a gust of wind, Gu Anning seemed to realize that Qingzhu was wearing a new dress today, no wonder he walked with the wind.
Seeing her little face with a smile, Gu Anning put down the ink pen, there was no news about the family affairs of the Hu family, and the second lady didn't mention it to her, so she just thought about it.
Privately asked Qing Glaze to inquire, and heard that the second lady of the Hu family was disgusted by her aunt's background.
This statement is also passable, as a concubine, even if it is a girl from the Gu family, if she doesn't say it on the surface, she is not estranged in her heart, whose family's concubine doesn't want to marry a decent lady.
When Gu Anning arrived at the door, she heard the sound of talking and laughter coming from the house, she didn't know that there was a guest in the Rong family today, so she stepped in, opened the replaced summer jasper bead curtain, and made a crisp sound when she opened it slightly.
The Rong family inside even talked to Mrs. Ge Da from Jingzhou, and they all looked at the door when they listened to the movement.
In winter, the main house has used screens, and in the summer, the beaded curtain was changed, as soon as I entered the room, I saw that Rong's smile when he looked over was not contained, sitting on the right hand side was a woman wearing a dark flower filament pleated satin skirt comb with a fallen horse bun, a round face with a little powder, a pair of apricot eyes are looking at her.
"Anning is coming, come and sit. Rong said, beckoning to her again and again, and Gu Anning sat down in response to the words.
Ge Xu, the eldest young lady of the Ge family, glanced at the little girl in front of her and wondered. "Who is this?"
"This is the girl I just told you about, and before I could say her name, people came. β
Hearing what the Rong clan said, Ge Xu looked at Gu Anning for a while, and said with a smile after half a sound. "It's a well-behaved and sensible person, but it's a family?"
The Rong family called Gu Anning to come for something else, but he didn't expect to meet Ge Xu's who came to Qizhou, and as soon as he said this, the Rong family immediately understood what Ge Xu's meant.
Let's go now. "An Ning added a second room last year, and a few days ago he went to the Hu family with the second lady to invite a banquet, if he was not well-behaved and sensible, he naturally wouldn't be hurt. β
Hearing this, Ge Xu couldn't help but laugh. That's right. β
Ge Xu and Rong are cousins, the cousins of Rong's biological mother's mother's family, although Ge Xu's mother's family has not been implicated by the Rong family, but in the end, it is the in-laws, and the influence is also a lot.
Ge Xu is the descendant of the Ge family's big house, and it was a few years ago that he married the eldest young master of the Ge family's big house.
Gu Anning sat and sit, listening to Ge Xu's meaning that he wanted to kiss her, but as soon as the Rong family mentioned that the second lady took her to the Hu family a few days ago, he was silent.
"I'm here to take a look, I feel relieved to see that your heart is relieved now, the Rong family is also unlucky, you married into the Gu family is the Gu family, and you want to open up everything. β
The eldest lord of the Ge family in Jingzhou was an official in the court, and he was also a protΓ©gΓ© of Mrs. Xu, so Gu Anning figured it out when he saw Ge Xu's family today.
Rong's asked her to carry the letter in the past, and it is estimated that she is also asking someone to do it, and this letter naturally can't be sent by her to make people swagger, it will cause many people to have an accident, and it is better to trust her.
Even if the Gu family only handles the case and does not plead, the Rong family must not be able to help, but then again, they can't help on the surface, and it may not be impossible to secretly make a living.
Gu Anning guessed this in his heart, and glanced at Ge Xu silently, this woman is talkative, but Rong is not close to her.
Rong was not much moved when he heard Ge Xu's words, he really wanted to open it to others, and after a few words, he said some interesting things he had seen and heard in recent days, and then talked about the concubine at home, and there was no reason to speak, so Ge Xu got up with a smile and said goodbye.
After being sent away, the Rong family relaxed his stiff face and turned his head to look at Gu Anningdao. "Don't be surprised, when I asked someone to inform you, my cousin happened to come to the door. β
It stands to reason that Gu Anning doesn't know much when he is young, and the Rong family doesn't need to explain.
But Rong's eyes showed that Gu Anning had a mind, and her mind was not simple, seeing that she was not in a hurry to speak, she thought that she was waiting for herself to say something.
There was no beating around the bush at the moment.
"I don't have much jewelry, I still want you to let someone take it out, if you can see it, it's good to give a little. Rong's face was extremely bad, and he beckoned to the maid, and the maid brought a burden and spread it out on the table to show her.
Gu Anning was a little surprised.
"Second young lady, this is?"
"I won't tell you anything, once the Rong family falls, I am helpless in the Gu family, in addition, there are still people in the Rong family who have nowhere to go, my dowry can't be taken out, and some things in private can be used as a pawn. Rong said, hurriedly held Gu Anning's hand, and said with red eyes. "An Ning, don't mention this to anyone, lesp..."
Gu Anning understands and understands that it is not a big deal to think about it, since it is a gesture to help.
When he turned to look at the jewelry that was spread out, Gu Anning raised his eyebrows slightly, twisted up a yellow-white transparent bead, took a closer look, and said. "I don't know if this is a wall bead from the south?"
