Xiao Xu was shocked when he heard this, and after listening to Gu Guanning's strategy, he quickly responded: "This is a good idea. In the future, the fourth sister can come back to the capital once a year, that is, to stay in the Dingbei Hou Mansion for a few days, which is reasonable. ”

Gu Wanning raised his eyes, looked at Xiao Xu, and said softly: "In this way, it will inevitably arouse suspicion." You, the son of heaven, are afraid that you will also be criticized by others. ”

Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Who dares to come to me and say irresponsible things?"

Gu Guanning: "......"

This expression and tone seem to be a little familiar!

vaguely is what she looked like when she said to Gu Wanqi, "Who in the world dares to say that the fourth sister is not dead in front of me"!

Husband and wife for many years, day and night, the two have long been you have me, I have you. Even in words and deeds, there are many similarities.

Gu Wanning pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes flashed: "Okay, if you don't object, then I'll have someone send a letter to the third aunt." ”

……

It coincides with the end of the year, and the New Year's ceremonies of various prefectures move around frequently.

The Dingbei Hou Mansion is now in full swing, and there are countless people who come to the Dingbei Hou Mansion every day to pay homage or give New Year's gifts. The concierge of Dingbei Hou Mansion was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

Gu Jinxing originally wanted to stay in the house and spend more time with his wife and children. However, there are too many officialdom entertainments, some can be pushed, some cannot, and they have to enter the palace from time to time. Every day, I was busy until I returned home in the middle of the night.

Cui Junyao had expected this to be the case, but she didn't complain, but felt sorry for her husband, who was often drunk due to poor drinking. I cooked the decanting soup by myself every day, waiting for Gu Jinxing to return.

The relationship between husband and wife has heated up sharply, and it is so good that it is better than the newlywed Yan'er back then.

Gu Haifang, a middle-aged couple, has also been extremely affectionate recently. The Fang clan occasionally felt the cold, so Gu Hai pushed all the wine banquets and entertainment, and returned home early every day to accompany the Fang clan.

Fang's illness was mild and he was cured in a few days. Because of the good mood, I went to Puji Temple to burn incense. Unexpectedly, on the way, the horse pulling the cart was startled and almost had an accident.

Fortunately, he was rescued by the guards beside a young woman who came to the capital from another place.

Fang was grateful in his heart, and he wanted to thank the young woman in person.

At first sight, Fang was surprised to find that this young woman surnamed Qi was six or seven points similar to his daughter Gu Guanqi, who died early. At that time, I burst into tears.

The young woman surnamed Qi was at a loss and was very shocked.

Fang Shi hid his face with his sleeves and cried for a moment before explaining apologetically: "Let Miss Qi be frightened." I have a daughter who died young, and she was born very similar to Miss Qi. When I saw Miss Qi, I couldn't help but think of her. That's when I cried out of shape. ”

Miss Qi was also a hearty person, and she didn't mind, but gently comforted Fang's family. After that, he personally sent the Fang family home.

Fang was grateful to the benefactor who saved his life, and insisted on inquiring about Miss Qi's whereabouts. Hearing that Miss Qi had no fixed residence in Beijing and only lived in an inn, she immediately invited Miss Qi to live in Dingbeihou Mansion for a while.

Miss Qi was so gracious that she had to agree.

……

When Mrs. Tai saw this Miss Qi in person, she couldn't help but sigh: "There are such people in the world. ”

On the same day, Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Cui happened to be a guest at the Dingbei Hou Mansion and met this Miss Qi together. I can't help but be amazed.

The Luo Cui family and the Gu family are in-laws, and they are also good friends. Of course, they are not strangers to the dead Gu Guanqi. Unexpectedly, there are still people in this world who are so similar to Gu Wanqi.

The appearance is like a full eight points, but the temperament is embarrassing.

Gu Wanqi has been pampered since she was a child, and she was born fair-skinned, coquettish and naughty.

This Miss Qi has a slightly dark complexion, confident and calm, and her eyebrows and eyes are full of sharpness. Even though she is a woman, she speaks and acts cleanly and neatly better than a man. At first glance, you can tell that it is a person who walks outside all year round.

At first glance, it is similar, but the more you look at it, the more you feel different.

Mrs. Luo couldn't help but ask: "Listening to Miss Qi, it is completely different from the ladies in the capital. I wonder who Miss Qi is, and her parents are still alive?"

She is still dressed as a boudoir girl, but she is not too young. At the end of the year, he did not get together with his parents, but stayed in the capital. Something is wrong no matter how you think about it.

There is only one explanation. This Miss Qi must have something different in her life experience.

Miss Qi did not show an offended and abrupt look, and responded warmly: "My parents have long since passed away, and a few years ago, I went to Jinju to defect to Lord Zheng, the commander of the garrison in Jinzhou, and let Commander Zheng take him in for a few years. My father was a businessman during his lifetime and saved a lot of money. Even though I am a woman, I would like to carry on my father's legacy and continue to do business. ”

"I've been at sea for more than two years, and I have a lot of overseas stuff in my hands. This time I came to the capital to deal with this batch of goods. Unexpectedly, he and Mrs. Fang San had this fate. ”

has a calm attitude, speaks unhurriedly, and is far better than ordinary boudoir girls.

Even those noble ladies in the capital who are famous for their talents and fame, when they come to this Miss Qi, they are also greatly inferior.

Mrs. Luo's eyes showed approval.

Mrs. Cui also admired this Miss Qi very much, and after asking a few words, she suddenly said: "The third lady has been sad for the loss of her beloved daughter. Meeting Miss Qi is also a gift from God. It's better to think that a righteous girl can also move around in the future. It can be regarded as making up for the regret in my heart a little. ”

When they heard this, they were all astonished.

On second thought, this is a good proposal.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon to recognize a righteous woman and a righteous son. It is common for aristocratic ladies who have a close relationship to recognize each other's children as righteous sons and daughters.

is like Gu Guanning and Luo Zhixuan, although their identities are different, they have deep feelings for each other. Gu Guanning treats Sister Hui as her own, and in private, she will also let Gillian and Yi call Luo Zhixuan her godmother.

The Fang clan was quite tempted by this proposal, but it was inconvenient to take the initiative to open his mouth and look at Mrs. Tai with expectant eyes.

Mrs. Tai has always been generous and gentle, and she has no intention of rejecting this matter, and nodded slightly.

Fang's heart was overjoyed, and he looked at Miss Qi again, waiting for Miss Qi to open her mouth with hopeful eyes.

It's a pity that this Miss Qi doesn't have the idea of clinging to the powerful, and she doesn't have much interest in recognizing her godmother, so she politely opened her mouth and declined: "I only stayed in the capital for a few days, and I will leave the capital after the New Year." Thank you for your kindness. ”

Fang's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he smiled reluctantly: "Miss Qi has no such intention, so she should laugh casually." Just stay in the house with peace of mind. ”

In this world, there is no reason to force people to recognize their stepmothers.

Miss Qi's reaction made Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Cui look at her even more.

The courtyard of the Dingbei Hou Mansion is prominent, and because of the great victory of the border army, it is even more beautiful. I don't know how many people think of a way to lean up and get wet. The Fang clan had clearly revealed the meaning of recognizing the righteous girl, and this Miss Qi was unmoved, but it was admirable.
