Chapter Seventy-Two: What a Heart

Looking at these dazzling posts, the old lady suddenly felt tired.

She had plans to integrate into the former circle as soon as possible, but she didn't think to be in such a hurry, and these people were obviously coming for her son, not those who had a good relationship with her in the past.

When she was young, she didn't like to listen to those empty flattery, not to mention that she is over half a hundred years old now, and she has been quietly for more than ten years, and she doesn't want to force herself to deal with that.

Who knew that the post of the old sisters had not yet arrived, and a large group of these people who wanted to cling to the sign had come.

Mrs. Hou Deng is also very uncomfortable, not that she doesn't like to socialize, but that she has been married into the Hou Mansion for more than 20 years, and it is the first time she has seen the Hou Mansion in Jingnan being taken so seriously.

It's really nice to return to the core circle of the capital, and it's a pity that she is the real mistress of this Hou Mansion, but what people want to please is other women, and she is completely ignored.

Helplessly, she could only pretend to be interested, picked up the post in front of her and flipped through it carefully, showing appropriate pleasure.

Gu Chao is really happy, she grew up being held like this when she was a child, and when she returned to the capital, she got such attention, it was difficult to be unhappy.

She pushed the post in front of the sisters, and said with a smile: "Xiang'er, Yuan'er, help my mother sort out these posts, pick up the important ones aside, and generally reply simply." ”

The corners of the two girls' mouths twitched slightly, where do really high-ranking and powerful people need to flatter their fathers, not to mention that everyone is very noble, even if they want to show goodwill, they will not be so eager, how can they hand over the post now.

These on the table are obviously the "ordinary" ones in my mother's mouth, and she is so happy that she really doesn't know what to tidy up.

Not happy in their hearts, they still didn't dare to slack off in their hands, and the two sat down at the table and carefully looked at the posts one by one, symbolically divided into several piles.

The old lady looked at this pair of flower-like granddaughters, and her mood was finally a lot more relaxed, and she said to Gu Chao: "Now that I live in Beijing, I will never be busy with these things, but Gu Ge Lao has to go there as soon as possible, don't let your parents wait too long, we are also rude." ”

Gu Chao said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, I asked Mama Jin to go to my father and mother in person early in the morning to say goodbye, and after resting for two days, I and Zongzhi took the children to visit the second elder in Gu's mansion." ”

The old lady smiled and bowed: "That's exactly what is good." ”

Deng Shi also echoed on the side: "Brother and sister are blessed, such a pair of sisters who sign beauty, and a pair of twins with pink makeup, bring them to Gu Ge and Gu Old Lady to be happy." ”

While he was talking, the other girls of the Hou Mansion also came to greet the old lady under the leadership of Yuan Zhengshu's younger brother, Tang Shi, the wife of Yuan Fang, the sixth lord of Yuan Mansion.

The eldest girl Yuan Yu and the second girl Yuan Mei have been married, and the rest of the girls are headed by the eldest daughter of the sixth master, the fourth girl Yuan Yun, all dressed up delicately and saluting the old lady.

Doudou looked at this battle, and his hand holding the post shook slightly, he felt that there were a lot of girls just after listening to the number before, but now he really put together the unmarried girls in the Jingnan Hou Mansion, and he still felt dizzy.

The eldest Yuan Yun had just been married to Xuan, and the youngest eleventh girl, Yuan Zhuan, was as old as Yuanjing Yuanwei, and she was not as stable as her twin brothers, and her little hands were still tightly held in her nurse's big hands.

The old lady has always liked these flower-like girls, but she didn't care if it was her own granddaughter, so she asked Frangipani to beckon the little girls to sit down one by one, and told Mother Wu to take out the box prepared in advance.

The old lady smiled and opened the box, which was full of color and style very suitable for the little girls to wear, obviously specially customized before.

In fact, when we first met yesterday, she had already given each child a valuable meeting gift, but for these little granddaughters, there is always not too much beaded jewelry.

"It's all little things with flowers, for your sisters to take with them on weekdays." The old lady summoned the eldest Yuan Yun to her side, and shoved the small box into her hand, so that she could take it and distribute it to the sisters.

Sure enough, the little girls were very happy, and the few who were still a little reserved and shy also let go, although they were all girls from the Hou Mansion, and not everyone lacked anything like the eldest daughter Yuan Wei, and they could buy anything they wanted.

And Gu Chao was obviously unprepared, so she had to look at the box of jewelry that was worthless in her eyes, knowing that she would also pack up a bunch of them and reward them to these light-eyed girls.

Mother-in-law is like this, she never informs herself in advance of something, and always uses other people's stinginess to set off her generosity.

Deng and Tang glanced at each other silently, and her mother-in-law still knew best what means to deal with whomever she used as before.

The really valuable jewelry girls often dislike the old style and don't necessarily like it, only such a fresh style of exquisite workmanship is the most popular among them.

Look, these girls may have thought that this grandmother could only be regarded as a step-grandmother, and she had no feelings when she was a child, so it was inevitable that she would be a little angry.

It's good now, and I'll buy all the jewelry.

Where did Doudou and Yuan Xiang know their thoughts, in fact, even if they knew, they wouldn't take it seriously, in their opinion, it was clearly their grandmother's loving heart, and a few little girls had something worth buying their grandmother.

These people are really hearty.

The two of them only glanced up slightly, still lowering their heads and carefully sorting through the piles of posts.

After a few more moments, there was a sound of footsteps outside the main hall.

Everyone looked up together, and it turned out to be the wife of Xie Fu, the former housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion, who walked in with a grandmother in her fifties who was dressed very dignified and noble.

This grandmother is unknown to others, only Gu Chao is very familiar, she is the upbringing grandmother of Gu Xi, the wife of Wuning Hou, and the identity of Zhang Mama is equivalent to that of Mama Jin.

The old ladies who came out of the palace were all very decent, Gu Chao stood up with a smile on his face and said, "Mama Zhang, why did you come here in person." ”

Mama Zhang had a decent smile on her face, and after saluting the ladies and misses, she walked steadily in front of Gu Chao, and said very respectfully: "The eldest lady is well." ”

Gu Chao took Mama Zhang's hand and smiled: "Mama doesn't have to be polite. ”

The old lady also politely asked Mama Zhang to sit down and talk.

Mama Zhang took out an elegant post from her sleeve and handed it to Mother Wu: "Old lady, this is what our Mrs. Hou instructed the old slave to personally deliver to you, saying that she would take the little county lord to the mansion in two days to visit in person." ”

In the past, the old lady liked Gu Xi very much, but now seeing that she is doing things more and more properly, she took the post from Mother Wu with a smile and said: "Your wife is so polite, they are all a family, can you just come directly?" You go back and tell her that the old woman misses her very much, and she must not be waiting for her to come to the door anywhere these days. (To be continued.) )
