Chapter 185: The Old Fan
Seeing that his daughter was so sensible, Gu Hengjun couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, and said: "Silly girl, if you drag on for a few more years, you will be old this year, and the good son will either have a family affair or be young, which one is compatible with you? ”
Gu Xiangyi was not moved when he said this.
Before getting married, Ning Yuanjiang's words were still in his ears, it was a heart-wrenching parting, and it was also a bitter parting. He only said at the time: "Chu'er, if you are wronged, just tell your father, even if he is now the Son of Heaven, then your father will not give him a chance to let you be wronged!"
When these words penetrated into her ears, Ning Chu's mood coincided with Gu Xiangyi's mood at this moment, she had experienced marriage, and she clearly understood the reluctance of a father to marry a daughter.
"Don't say that, Father. Gu Xiangyi imagined that it was her thin-fated father sitting in front of her, her eyes were pantothenic for a while, her eyes turned red, and she choked up slightly: "My daughter will not regret not marrying in this life, you can rest assured." ”
If she was given another chance, even if she was to be beheaded by Cao Xin's dog thief the next day for disobeying the holy decree, she would not choose to take the holy decree, she would stay with her father and brother and ask them to be safe.
But where in the world is there such a thing as a repeat of this? The matter has come to this point, and it is not sad that it can be useful.
Gu Hengjun was also bitter, and only said: "Good boy, the previous things have passed, and you will definitely not be a father in the future." ”
This time seems to pass quickly, in the blink of an eye a few heavy snowfalls, the whole capital is covered in silver, the roof ridge treetops and beams are covered with a layer of frost, the red plum seems to have opened with all its strength, has a bit of malaise, but the white plum blooms just right, it is estimated that it can survive until the beginning of spring.
The New Year will be in a few days, and Gu Xiangyi has received gifts from everywhere. There were sent by the Tong family, there were also anonymous ones sent like white condensation, and Jiang Xi and Xiao Jingyao secretly sent them, Pei Qingxue even made a special trip and stayed with her for a whole day.
It's just that when packing up the gifts, Gu Xiangyi noticed an unsigned gift.
It was a delicate rosewood box, carved with a diamond pattern and wrapped in gold horns, and it was obvious to the eye that it would not be a cheap thing. But when the box was opened, the contents were not valuable.
It's just a fan embroidered with mud gold peony flowers, the fan surface is not double-sided embroidery, and the fan handle is not ivory carving, it is a very ordinary folding fan.
However, the moment he saw this folding fan, it was not a small touch to Gu Xiangyi.
Pomegranate looked at the fan and asked, "Why is there still someone who sends this now?" Give a man who is rich and literate, you can buy two of these fans on the street, this peony flower is really rough embroidered, it must be embroidered by a country girl to make a living so it is to be sold, right?"
After saying this, Gu Xiangyi had already blushed.
Where is the country girl, this fan is clearly embroidered by her! Even the pendant on the handle of the fan is her own choice.
I remember that it was Mrs. Ji's birthday, and Ning Chu, as a student of Mr. Ji, should have sent some congratulatory gifts to his wife, but thinking that the Ji family had a big business, what luxury things had not been seen?
So Ning Chu studied with the embroidery girl at home for more than half a month, and after embroidering three fans, he finally embroidered this fan. On the day of Mrs. Ji's birthday, the fan was not given away.
Because Mr. Ji suddenly fell ill that day, he fell to the ground that day, and Ning Chu was so frightened that his hands and feet were numb, and naturally there was no good time to give gifts. The group fan has been in the box, and there should have been no day when it will see the light of day, but before leaving, Ning Chu still sent the group fan out, but it was not given to Mrs. Ji, because Mrs. Ji was busy asking Mr. Ji to run around at the time, so she sent Ji Tang.
Ji Tang was also busy hitting the back of his head with his foot, and he took the fan and put it down without even taking a closer look. In the following days, Mr. Ji lingered on the sickbed, and Mrs. Ji was sick, and Mrs. Ji passed away first, and Mr. Ji couldn't stand it anymore, so he followed.
Now that this fan has appeared in front of him again, and it has been commented so sharply by pomegranates, Gu Xiangyi's heart is like Laba porridge, and there is a mess of everything.
You don't have to think about it to understand that this fan must have been given by Ji Tang, last time she saved the seriously injured Ji Tang in Xuanbi Zhai, and left him to recuperate for many days, this kindness is impossible not to repay with Ji Tang's temperament.
But why did you send this?
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the girl was looking at the fan in fascination, Pomegranate asked.
"Nothing. Gu Xiangyi quickly put the fan back into the box and closed the lid again.
What did he know? Was it a temptation? Was it suspicion? Did he know that Ning Chu was not dead? Or did he know that Ning Chu had become Gu Xiangyi, but he couldn't open his mouth to ask directly, so he used such a method?
Many trivial things have been connected together, but Gu Xiangyi just doesn't understand, like seeing flowers in a fog, the fog in front of her is always inexhaustible, which makes her a little annoyed.
In the Jingde Mansion, it is already customary to escort congratulatory gifts a year ago, regardless of whether the status is high or low, and you are not afraid of being talked about or provoked, so you don't have to send it. But some colleagues and friends can't ignore it, some relatives can't help but deal with it, and it's not a trouble for the juniors who like to send two bead flowers.
What was sent left and right can be taken back.
The Yi family is also preparing congratulatory gifts, but there are not many people Yi Jingxiao wants to give, unlike Fang Yuchun, in order to make friends with powerful people for Yi Jingyan, he almost spent most of his private money to buy a lot of expensive things.
Seeing that his son didn't mean to send something to the six girls, Yuan Cha said unhappily: "The son of the world is thinking of giving gifts to Uncle Zhongyi, how can the six girls be left behind?
Chan Jin kicked him very hard: "You are next to the sixth girl, right?
Yuan Cha replied to him with a grimace: "If the prince has that heart, the money will naturally not be less, and he can use me?"
"Don't that hard. Chan Jin glared at him and scolded: "I also look at the sixth girl is good, but whether the person is good or not, the most important thing is that our son likes it, since he doesn't mean that, what more mouth do you have?"
After speaking, Chan Jin glanced at Yi Jingxiao with a little meaning, and then looked at Yuan Cha again.
Yuan Cha said in his heart, "Sure enough, I have opened my mind, and I know that I have the same heart as myself!"
