Chapter 063: Serious Eccentricity
While a few people were chatting in the courtyard, Rong'er had already walked over to them from outside the courtyard, and saluted one by one, "Rong'er has seen Madame, Miss, and Young Master." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Rong'er, how is the old lady?" Gu Qianye kept Rong'er outside the Hechun Courtyard, and as soon as there was news, she came to tell her that she could take action.
"Miss, the old lady's asthma attack is because there is a pungent smell of daffodils in the air, and the fragrance on Miss Gu's body is daffodils, so when the old lady was still being diagnosed by the imperial doctor, the second lady had already asked Miss Gu to go to the Buddhist hall to repent." Rong'er made it clear what happened in the afternoon in a few words, and when everyone hadn't digested it, she spoke again, "Now the old lady is much better, and she said that she will personally wash the dust for the fifth master and the lady, so tonight, let you all go to Hexiangyuan for dinner." ā
"Mother, auntie, let's go!" Gu Qianye got up and said to the two people sitting next to her, her voice fell, as if she had thought of something, she looked at He Changfeng who was sitting opposite her and drinking tea, and asked, "Cousin, are you going?" ā
He Changfeng waved his hand again and again, shook his head and said, "You guys go, I won't go, I'm going to see a friend later?" ā
"Okay!" Gu Qianye nodded, and asked again, "Then will you come back to sleep at night?" ā
"Nope. I'll be back tomorrow morning for breakfast. As he spoke, He Changfeng had already gotten up and said meaningfully to the dark incense standing aside, "You have to take good care of them." ā
Dark Xiang couldn't help nodding, no need for He Changfeng to say, she would also take good care of them, not only because of the master, but also because she liked them.
In the hall of Hexiangyuan, Shangguan Xianghui, an old lady Gu dressed in a red brocade dress, sat at the top of the rectangular sandalwood table, and on her right hand, several ladies and aunts of the Gu family sat in turn, and on the left, several young ladies of the Gu family sat in turn.
Gu Qianye glanced at the people on the table when she entered the door, and after not seeing her father and several uncles, she thought that her father must have gone to a party with several of his brothers.
"It's like, with snow, a thousand nights, you are here." Shangguan Xianghui greeted them with a smile on the main seat, pointed to the empty seat on the side and said, "You guys hurry up and sit down." ā
When the sound fell, Shangguan Xianghui turned sideways and instructed Chun'er, the girl waiting next to her, "Chun'er, tell the kitchen to serve the food!" ā
"Yes, old lady!" Chun'er bowed her head and retreated from the side hall.
He Wanru immediately led Gu Hanxue and Gu Qianye to salute and bless, "It's like seeing a mother!" Hanxue has seen her mother! I've seen my grandmother in a thousand nights! I wish my mother and grandmother a day every year! ā
"Family, don't be polite, let's all sit down!" Shangguan Xianghui said with a loving face.
"Thank you, Mother! Thank you, Grandmother! He Wanru pulled Gu Hanxue and Gu Qianye to salute again, and then retreated to the position prepared for them in advance.
Shangguan Xianghui squinted her somewhat small eyes and swept around the people sitting in the seat, suddenly, she frowned slightly, looked at the eldest lady Yang Yueqing sitting in the first place on the right, and asked suspiciously, "Boss, what about the child?" ā
Shangguan Xianghui has been receiving treatment from the imperial doctor in the wing, and she doesn't know anything about Gu Yueru.
Yang Yueqing was originally distressed and dissatisfied with Bai Wushuang forcing her to punish her daughter to kneel in the Buddha Hall, but now she heard Old Madam Gu ask about her daughter again, in an instant, she raised her head, looked at Shangguan Xianghui aggrievedly, and pleaded, "Mother, Yue Ru is young, she doesn't know that the smell of daffodils will induce your illness, she is an unintentional mistake, I beg my mother to forgive her, don't let her kneel in the Buddha Hall again." ā
Yang Yueqing said, she had already raised her sleeves and wiped her tears, she really loved her daughter and was reluctant to suffer a little.
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Xianghui seemed to realize something, and swept towards Bai Wushuang with some displeasure, and asked, "What's wrong with my precious granddaughter?" What did you do to her? ā
Shangguan Xianghui's words seemed to be asking everyone in the hall, but only her eyes were telling everyone that her words were asking Bai Wushuang, the second-room lady who was sitting next to Yang Yueqing.
Shangguan Xianghui is not stupid, and he dares to force Yang Yueqing to dispose of his daughter, except for Bai Wushuang, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, there is really no one else.
Bai Wushuang actually took this opportunity to attack Gu Yueru, thinking of his youngest daughter Gu Shenlan who was still lying in the room, looking at Old Madam Gu who only knew that Gu Yueru was missing, and ignored her baby daughter Gu Shenlan at all, she was already angry in her heart, and when she heard Old Madam Gu question her, she couldn't help but be even more angry, and opened her mouth and said, "Mother, Miss Gu, as your granddaughter, knows that you have asthma, and she doesn't think about the health of your old body, but she appears beside you with a stimulating fragrance, Could it be that the daughter-in-law punished her for kneeling in the Buddha hall? ā
"Besides, the daughter-in-law only punished her to kneel in the Buddhist hall for one night, and didn't ask her to kneel for a long time?"
Bai Wushuang's tone was a little unkind, and there was some excitement in his words, Shangguan Xianghui was not a stupid person, she vaguely heard some quarrels outside at dusk, saying something like kneeling in the Buddha Hall, now that she thinks about it, it was for this at that time.
"Old 12, Yueru is just a child, so you can be exempted from kneeling in the Buddha Hall." Shangguan Xianghui said, as if she had thought of something, pointed to a little girl waiting beside Yang Yueqing, and said, "You and Chun'er go and pick up your young lady, just know that it's wrong." ā
Seeing Chun'er and the little girl leaving, Shangguan Xianghui seemed to see that there was one less person in the banquet, and turned her head to Bai Wushuang, who had a bad face, and said, "Old 12, where is your little girl?" ā
Bai Wushuang hummed in his heart, and only now did he think of his daughter, but he hurriedly replied without stopping, "Shen Lan was infected with some wind cold because she fell into the water last time, and she is still in Hezhu Garden?" ā
"Let her keep it!" Shangguan Xianghui nodded as if understanding.
When Bai Wushuang heard this, his face became even more difficult to look at, Shangguan Xianghui's obvious eccentricity could be seen by anyone.
While speaking, the cook had already put fragrant delicacies on the table, looking at the plates of delicious food with color and fragrance, Gu Qianye couldn't help but sigh, this Gu family really doesn't use silver as money, it's really extravagant and wasteful, I'm afraid this meal will not be less than a hundred taels of silver!
They only know how to ask their father for silver, but they don't know how difficult it is to come by, and how hard it is for their father to earn it.
Hurriedly looked sideways at his mother, and sure enough, there was a deep dissatisfaction in his mother's eyes.
Also, even if my grandfather celebrated his birthday, he was not so extravagant and wasteful, because his mother was a traditional thrifty woman, and the most unaccustomed thing in her life was extravagance and waste.
This is not only because of her good cultivation, but also because she knows how hard her family's money is, and she feels sorry for her father and her father-in-law......
"Old lady, the eldest lady has arrived." Chun'er stood at the door and shouted in the hall.
When Shangguan Xianghui heard this, she immediately laughed, and said again and again, "Quick, quick, let my good granddaughter come in." ā
Shangguan Xianghui's asthma has been relieved a little after being treated by the imperial doctor, but her breath is still short, and when she laughs, she always feels a little weird.
Gu Qianye followed Shangguan Xianghui's words and looked up at the main entrance of the hall, and at this time, Gu Yueru, who was dressed in white like snow, slowly stepped in from the door.
Gu Yueru's movements were very slow, her steps were very slow, the clothes on her body had obviously changed, there was no smell of daffodils on her body, and there were tears on her face that she had cried, it was obvious that the events of the afternoon made her feel wronged.
Gu Yueru cautiously stepped into the room, she didn't know if Old Madam Gu was going to question her again why she wanted the scent of daffodils, didn't she know that daffodils could induce asthma and other questions.
She just loves daffodils, and every year on hot days, she makes daffodils into flower bags and wears them on her body, and she loves the taste of daffodils.
She is not a medical student, so how could she know that daffodils can induce asthma......
Moreover, every year in the past, she wore a flower bag made of daffodils on her grandmother's birthday, and no one came forward to accuse her......
Moreover, she still wondered if the imperial doctor was deliberately targeting her, saying that the fragrance of daffodils would induce asthma.
