When she entered Jinghua Courtyard, the girl who was sweeping on both sides had already stopped her movements, and stood on both sides in a regular manner, and when the little girl hit the soft curtain of apricot blossoms, Gu Yanling and Bai Lan helped Xie into the back room, and the curtain fell, so she started to do her job again.

Xie slowly sat on the warm kang in the south window, Gu Yanling sat on the other side, although the girl and daughter-in-law stood in the room, but there was no superfluous sound, Aunt An was holding a small lotus pattern blue and white magnetic cup, and Aunt Yuan carefully filled a bowl of Xie's daily rock sugar blood swallow.

After carefully serving Xie's drink, Xie only looked at Gu Yanling, and Aunt Yuan willingly served another bowl to Gu Yanling's eyes, and under Gu Yanling's gentle refusal, Xie looked a little lazy and said: "You are also tired of serving, go back and rest, the imperial concubine in the palace sent a few palace satins, you take two to make clothes." ”

Saying that, Xie glanced at Bai Lan, and Bai Lan conveniently took two more sandalwood boxes outlining string branches of magnolia from the back room, and when they opened it, there were two sets of jade heads neatly placed inside.

"These two sets of heads and noodles will be worn by Sister Wen and Sister An. ”

Aunt Yuan and Aunt An have served the Xie family in the mansion for many years, so they can naturally see that these two sets of heads and faces are not idle, so they hurriedly pushed it away.

"The two sisters are still so young, how can they use such a good face. ”

Xie Shi didn't care much, and leaned on the soft pillow a little tiredly: "I don't need it now, so I will keep it for the two sisters to make makeup out of the pavilion in the future, you have been in the house for many years, while serving wholeheartedly, it is not easy to raise two girls for the master, the girl's family is not like a brother, and when the time comes, she will marry someone else's door, if the dowry can't be suppressed, wouldn't it be let others look down on it, so maybe it will be despised by others." ”

Thinking that it was uncomfortable to pillow for a long time, Xie Shi turned sideways slightly, and his voice softened slightly, but he couldn't hide his tiredness: "Although Sister Wen and Sister An are not my own children, I am also their mother-in-law, I have the same heart as yours, and those who walked out of my Anguo Mansion can be a few points inferior, and wait for their sisters and sons to go out in the future, no matter how much the old lady adds, I already have a fixed number here, what I mean, do you understand?"

Xie raised his eyes and looked at the past, now Aunt An and Aunt Yuan still don't understand, Mrs. is clearly calming the hearts of the two of them, telling them that even if the two sisters are concubines, they are not as noble as the elder sisters, but thinking of the loyalty and sincerity of the two of them for many years, they will definitely find a good husband for the two sisters in the future, add a good dowry, and make faces for the two sisters.

Aunt Yuan and Aunt An cried with joy when they arrived, the two were originally the companion room brought by the Xie family when they got married, and the other was pointed out by the old lady to Gu Jingxi to serve, the family was not from the official eunuch, and the status was really low, and the rules of Anguo Mansion from the ancestors, for the sake of blood orthodoxy, each room but if the wife did not give birth to a child, the concubine room had to serve the "child avoidance soup", and the old lady and the main house did not agree, and they were not allowed to have children.

After the Xie family gave birth to their children, they acquiesced to Aunt Yuan and Aunt An, and then there were Sister An and Sister Wen, so that the two who were dedicated to serving Gu Jingxi and Xie had another hope, that is, to give the two sisters a good prospect.

As long as the daughter marries a lover, the husband's family is harmonious, does not seek to be prominent, and the life is safe and rich, and now they have found hope from the Xie family, and the Xie family from the century-old Wang family can see the family affairs of the two sisters, and the future husband's family is naturally only enviable, so the two are even more grateful to Dade, and they can't help but red-eyed, and respectfully kowtow to the Xie family.

Xie Shi made a look, and the girl in the room hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to help the two aunts, "This is a good thing, the two aunts are not happy for the girls, why are they crying." ”

When Aunt Yuan and Aunt An heard this, they hurriedly wiped their tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, we are confused." ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xie's mouth: "Okay, you guys should go back and rest too." ”

Aunt An and Aunt Yuan hurriedly saluted the Xie family, and then saluted Gu Yanling, and then retreated in a regular manner, Xie looked at the people in the house, and couldn't help frowning, how could Mama Xu not see it, and hurriedly withdrew everyone.

As soon as the people were gone, the room was bright, but it was also suddenly a little empty, only the magpie on the case was in the cloisonné incense burner, and the fragrance of the water was swirling gently, and it was submerged in the air.

"There's a degree of relaxation, you know. ”

Xie Shi's cold words fell lightly into the agarwood incense, and went away with the wind, Gu Yanling lowered his chin slightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Ah Jiu is provincial." ”

In the past, the two aunts Xie had always been easy-going and appeased on the surface, but secretly they were not without weighing and suppressing, and years of painstaking management were like putting a long line in a pool of warm spring water, until Fang only dropped the most indispensable bait, and the fish was completely caught.

On the one hand, Xie Shi won the name of a virtuous person and completely won the hearts of the people, and on the other hand, Xie Shi also told her in person that she would be a decent person when she went out of the cabinet in the future.

"If the line is too tight, it will only scare away the fish that wants to be hooked, too loose, but it is also difficult to control, and the relaxation is the best way to control people. ”

Silently, Mama Xu quietly looked at the girl under the lamp, at the moment her hands were stacked in front of her, although her eyebrows were gentle and obedient, her eyes were clear and clear, and halfway through speaking, her lips gradually floated a bright smile, which looked so shining under the lamp that people couldn't take their eyes off.

"From this day forward, the two aunts will serve more diligently than they did before, perhaps fearing their mother in the past, and only being grateful in the future. ”

As he spoke, Gu Yanling's eyes lifted slightly, and he muttered as if he was reminiscing: "Gratitude is more loyal and easier to grasp than awe." ”

The daughter's life depends on the main mother Xie Shi, if the two girls marry in the future, the two of them in front of the Xie family but if they do not serve well, give birth to two hearts, how beautiful the two girls were when they married, how hard they can fall in the husband's family, after all, the husband's family looks at the relationship with the Xie family, love the house and Wu, this truth Aunt Yuan and Aunt An can not understand? At that moment, the two aunts were completely tied to the Xie family.

Xie glanced at the eldest daughter meaningfully, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, but when he touched Gu Yanling's gaze, he was covered with indifferent eyes, leaving only a simple "um" word.

Gu Yanling stopped talking, and only twisted the apricot flower powder cake on the case on his fingertips, this apricot flower cake is Gu Yanling's favorite snack, looking at it is just a simple dessert, but the process is not simple at all, but it is much more cumbersome and naughty, and only the food in the courtyard of the big house can withstand such a toss.

Looking at the pastry carved out of the apricot blossom mold, there are five-petal apricot blossoms sticking to it, and the fragrance of apricot blossoms and the taste of honey linger on the tip of the nose, so that Gu Yanling, who is not greedy for desserts, can't help but taste it.

After a long time, Xie leaned on the soft pillow and pretended to be silent, Gu Yanling did not speak, and after eating the apricot blossom cake, he drank half a cup of tea, and it almost made people think that Xie had fallen asleep for a long time.

Gu Yanling raised his eyes and looked at Xie Shi, who was closing his eyes, and whispered to Mama Xu: "Since my mother is tired, I will go back to Liuli Courtyard first, and I will take care of my grandmother." ”

Mama Xu hesitated for a moment, turned her head to look at Xie Shijian, Gu Yanling had already got up gently, straightened her skirt and turned around to leave.

"You don't have anything to say to me?"

Gu Yanling was carrying his back at the moment, he couldn't see Xie's expression, but his lips couldn't help but smile, he had been with Xie for many years, how Gu Yanling didn't know Xie's thoughts, he just pretended not to know and was tempting.
