Xiaoqiu was waiting for the second wife in the house, she was fine yesterday, why was she suddenly bedridden today, Xiaoqiu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She didn't dare to ask more about the master's family, and all she could do was take good care of the second wife.
"Madam, each room has now been called to the hall to discuss the matters to be done for the eldest lady's birthday, and the eldest lady should complain at this moment. Xiaoqiu said.
Lu Yashu lay on the bed and coughed heavily. "You should rush to the hall now, I won't be able to go today. She said.
Xiaoqiu answered, then immediately got up, and as soon as he walked to the door, he bumped into Steward Wang, who was rushing towards this side.
"Steward Wang. Xiaoqiu asked.
"What's wrong with the second wife, the master asked me to urge, everyone is here, just wait for her. Steward Wang said.
"The second wife is sick and can't get up. Xiao Qiu glanced at the upper room and then said. "I contracted the wind chill and haven't seen any improvement in the past few days. ”
Lu Yashu coughed again when she heard the movement outside.
Steward Wang glanced inside, then shook his head, the second young master left, and the second wife was also sick. "Okay, I'll go to the hall to tell the master, you go to the back room and take good care of the second wife. Steward Wang said.
"Hmm. Xiaoqiu responded.
Steward Wang went down the corridor to the hall, and Xiao Qiu saw his back at the door and then immediately entered the door.
"Madam, the housekeeper of Fang Cai Wang came, saying that the master was urging, and I said that you couldn't go when you were sick, so he replied to the master. Xiaoqiu said.
Lu Yashu answered, her face a little pale.
Xiaoqiu couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, no matter what happened on weekdays, the second wife would put it down first and go to the hall, she had served the second wife for so long and hadn't seen her absent for a while.
Yesterday was fine, but I fell ill all of a sudden, although the second wife is not as hard as the eldest lady on weekdays, but her health is still good.
Oh people, the pain is really fast.
Xiaoqiu pulled the second wife's quilt up, and then turned around to help her decoct the medicine.
Lu Yashu opened her eyes when she saw that there was no one in the room, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
In the hall, Steward Wang came back to report the news, and everyone looked towards him, but the eldest young master, Gu Yun, buried his head and looked uninterested.
"What did she say?" asked Gu Zhongyan.
The third wife couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart, waiting to see a good show, even she arrived earlier than Lu Yashu, and Lu Yashu's second room simply didn't take the big room in her eyes.
"Back to the master, the second wife is sick and can't get up for a while. Steward Wang said.
"The second sister was just a little coughing yesterday, and I watched her drinking tea in the courtyard in the afternoon, why did she suddenly get sick?"
The superficial concern is actually telling everyone that the second room is deliberately pretending to be sick and showing the big room's face. Otherwise, how could I have been fine yesterday and sick today.
Of course, ordinary people can't hear what this means, just as an ordinary greeting of concern.
But Zhao Jinmin heard it really well, she glanced at Gu Zhongyan, only to see that his brows were slightly locked, "Suddenly sick?!"
"Listening to what the second wife's maid said, I was bedridden early this morning, and it is estimated that the wind chill is serious. Steward Wang said.
"It's really not the right time for this second sister to get sick. The eldest lady was a little angry in her heart, she was sick at this time, obviously because she deliberately didn't want to participate in her birthday banquet, which was to look down on her main room. "It's really a coincidence that my birthday banquet is approaching and she is sick, isn't it that the day I was born was unlucky and I was with my second sister?" said the eldest lady.
"What nonsense?!" Gu Zhongyan said reprimanded.
The eldest lady immediately stopped her voice, not daring to make Gu Zhongyan angry again.
"Since she is sick, we will discuss, this year I plan to hold a big event, invite the officers around Pingcheng to come to the birthday banquet, one is to make the Gu family and the military family friendly, and the other is to let our Gu family show their faces. Gu Zhongyan said seriously.
When the eldest lady heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, she couldn't believe what she heard, she held her own birthday banquet, and invited all the military officials with heads and faces, so she didn't want to tell everyone that the Gu family valued her.
She has been married into the Gu family for so many years, even Gu Zhongyan has never been so kind to her before Lu Yashu entered the door, she was a little flattered, and she looked shocked.
When the third wife heard this, she was inexplicably jealous. "Yo, sir, that's a good thing. Although the third lady felt uncomfortable, she also pretended to be happy.
"Jin Min, after marrying into the Gu family for so many years, it's time for you to make a big deal for your wife. Gu Zhongyan said.
Gu Yun smiled, his mother has a face, he has a face, and he can't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
In the past, everyone praised the second young master of the Gu family for his ability to write and martial arts, and it was about his turn to come out.
"Master......" Zhao Jinmin was a little surprised, and then confirmed that what he heard was true, and his heart was excited.
"Well, Lao Wang, you can do the matter of sending invitations, but in the past few days, I have been preparing first, and I am almost ready to send posts, and the Gu family will not fight unprepared battles. ”
"Yes, sir. Steward Wang responded.
"It's time to show your face to the old Gu family. Gu Zhongyan said and smiled.
Everyone also smiled, the third wife was a little stunned, since Gu Nan left, Gu Zhongyan has been keeping a straight face.
Why did the wind suddenly change today, and he didn't even mention Gu Nan when he came to the hall to talk about things.
The third wife was thinking like this, and Gu Zhongyan, who was sitting above, spoke again. "But I want to talk to the old Gu family about this, if someone asks about Nanzi, just say that he didn't have time to come back when he went out to run errands, remember not to talk nonsense!" Gu Zhongyan said sharply.
The crowd answered.
It's all about the Gu family, and most people understand that the severity of this matter is accurate.
Some people think so, but others don't.
"Lao Wang, you will notify the whole house in a while, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will cut out someone's tongue!" Gu Zhongyan became very unkind.
Steward Wang nodded.
"Jin Min, you can handle who you want to invite up and down the Zhao family, you are familiar with the Zhao family, this matter must be done. ”
Zhao Jinmin was already happy, and immediately nodded when she heard this, she was the sister of the Zhao family, and she naturally knew what to invite and what not to invite.
At this moment, when I am happy, I forget about the unhappy things, what Lu Yashu and Gu Nan are all left behind by her.
"Eldest sister, this time you have to go to the old tailor's shop to make a few more new clothes and prepare. The third lady laughed.
"Mother, my mother never goes to a time-honored tailor shop, and the clothes I wear are all Western fabrics. Gu Qingxue said suddenly.
"Ouch, do you have to prepare anyway, no, big sister. The third lady laughed.
This dead girl didn't save face for herself at all, and the third wife couldn't help complaining.
Zhao Jinmin smiled, with a beaming face, "When the time comes, you all dress up, don't embarrass the Gu family." She said.
"Definitely, big sister. The third lady smiled like a pug.
