Sure enough, as soon as the words of the county lord of Qinghe fell, Mrs. Jia's face softened a little. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although he did not immediately return to his amiable appearance, he no longer looked at Gu Jialuo like a class enemy like he did just now.

"Listening to your words, the Gu family is not without merit,"

Mrs. Jia said curtly, she turned her head and said coldly to Gu Jialuo: "Gu family, since you have returned to the Qi family, you should abide by the rules, abide by your duties, and never do anything that damages the face of the Qi family." ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Jia accentuated her tone, almost sternly admonished: "If you do such a shameless ugly thing again, I don't care about other people's wives and children, but I can't get around here." ”

Mrs. Jia picked up the Nanmu dragon head crutch that was placed aside, and slammed it to the ground with force, and the threat was self-evident.

Mrs. Jia's move made the atmosphere that had just eased very tense.

The county lord of Qinghe frowned even tighter, and looked at Gu Jialuo worriedly, lest this daughter-in-law who was not very good-tempered would have a seizure on the spot.

Although Mrs. Jia is not a serious elder of the Qi family, but in the end, she is an elder of the same generation as Qi Ziru, as a junior, even if she is the county lord of Qinghe, it is not good to disobey in person.

Gu Jialuo easily has the current 'good reputation', and the county lord of Qinghe doesn't want Gu Jialuo to ruin his reputation for such an unworthy old fool.

The county lord of Qinghe then helped Gu Jialuo's arm and quietly pinched it with his fingers.

Gu Jialuo felt her small movements, and subconsciously raised his head, just in front of the concerned eyes of the county lord.

Gu Jialuo sighed slightly in her heart, okay, she did have a moment of anger just now, and she couldn't wait to throw a cold snort to the old pious woman, and then brushed her sleeves and left.

But the mother-in-law's eyes awakened her reason, and she took a deep breath, Gu Jialuo endured the dislike in her heart, and replied lightly: "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely act according to the etiquette." ”

The hanging heart of the county lord of Qinghe was relaxed, and in order to prevent Old Taijun Jia from saying anything to ruin the atmosphere, she took Gu Jialuo's hand and introduced the guests one by one.

"Xiang'er, this is your cousin's uncle's wife, Sister-in-law Tao." The county lord first came to a middle-aged woman in her forties and introduced with a smile.

Gu Jialuo bowed slightly, and said politely: "Aunt Tang is fine." ”

The middle-aged woman, that is, the wife of Qi Lingtao, the most beloved grandson of Mrs. Jia, has her maiden name Fang, and her father once won the juren and became a gentleman in Luoyang Academy, barely a scholarly family.

Fang is in his forties this year, his facial features are not unusual, his face is slightly dark, and his body is a little fat, looking like an ordinary rich landlady.

Rao is wearing a new brocade gown and red gold jewelry on his head, but he does not have half of the wealth of a wealthy family, but has a strong explosive atmosphere.

I saw that Fang's eyes, which were originally small, narrowed into a slit, covering the brilliance under the eyes, grinning thick lips, and said, "Oh, what a neat beauty, our brother is really blessed to marry such a standard and penetrating daughter-in-law." ”

As he spoke, Fang Shi stretched out his hand, as if he was very affectionate and touched Gu Jialuo's shoulder.

The dishonest fingers rubbed gently, as if buying fabric in a silk village, carefully evaluating the fabric of the clothes on Gu Jialuo's body, and a pair of eyes were staring at the jewelry on Gu Jialuo's head.

When Gu Jialuo saw this, he couldn't help but feel tired for a while, and when he got up after the ceremony, he moved his shoulders slightly, shook Fang's hand away 'gently', and said with a smile: "Aunt Tang praised it. ”

"Oh, no awards, no awards, you're a good boy."

Fang Shi didn't seem to feel Gu Jialuo's resistance, so he grabbed her hand directly, and inadvertently touched a string of colorful tourmaline stone Buddha bead bracelets on her wrist, and asked in surprise: "Oh, what kind of jade is this, there are so many colors, tsk, there are flowers in it." ”

Fang's palm was wet and slippery, Gu Jialuo was very uncomfortable with her grip, raised his hand without a trace, pretended to show it to Fang, shook off her hand, and introduced: "This is the jade that is paid tribute from the south, and the name is 'jasper' (that is, tourmaline). Among them, these red and green jasper are called watermelon blue. ”

"Watermelon?" Fang Shi took a closer look, and praised without words: "Ouch, look at the green wrapped in red, isn't it just like a watermelon." Tsk, that's a good thing. ”

The Fang clan didn't know what 'jasper' was, but she remembered Gu Jialuo's sentence 'tribute from the south', which was a tribute, and it shouldn't be a bargain.

Fang's face showed a look of affection, and his hands were even more reluctant to caress the round and transparent and colorful tourmaline bracelet.

Her style shows that she likes this string of beads very much, suggesting that Gu Jialuo gave it to her.

The corners of Gu Jialuo's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: According to the rules, isn't it time for the elders to give a gift to the juniors? How did you get here, but you fell off?

If it weren't for Old Taijun Jia, Gu Jialuo might have given this tourmaline bracelet to the Fang family.

After all, in Daqi, tourmaline is not a valuable jewelry, and the reason why Gu Jialuo wears it is because he likes the color of tourmaline.

A string of bracelets that are not very valuable, and if you give it up, you will give it up. But the problem is that Gu Jialuo doesn't want to cheapen the family in front of him.

Although the Fang clan did not speak ill of Jia Lao Taijun like him, his eyes flashed with disdain and disdain.

Gu Jialuo couldn't help but guess that the reason why the Fang clan endured the disgust in his heart and praised her should have other plans.

Of course, the Fang family may have been self-aware, knowing that he was not as senior as his grandmother, and he was worried about the Qi family's property in the capital (or coveting Gu Jialuo's dowry), so he didn't dare to make a mistake.

With these conjectures, Gu Jialuo didn't want to fulfill Fang's wish. She's not stupid, she really can't do that stupid thing and being secretly ridiculed when she gives something.

Gu Jialuo's wrist turned, and he pushed Fang's hand away again.

The county lord of Qinghe was speechless, and sure enough, he responded to the saying 'not a family does not enter the door', Mrs. Jia is greedy for money, and her favorite granddaughter-in-law is not far behind.

In order to avoid any more embarrassing words and deeds from the Fang clan, the county lord of Qinghe hurriedly pointed to a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old young woman beside the Fang clan and said, "This is Brother Xian's daughter-in-law. ”

Then she introduced in turn: "This is Brother Yi's daughter-in-law, this is Sister Xian, this is Brother Yun's daughter-in-law, this is Sister Xi'er." ”

Gu Jialuo pinched his fingers, secretly associating the faces in front of him with their identities, and remembering them one by one.

After a round of greetings, Gu Jialuo was a little convinced-Mother Feng really didn't wronged anyone, look at this room full of female dependents, Mrs. Jia really dragged a group of people into Beijing.

Qi Daniu and Jia gave birth to a total of seven sons and four daughters, and finally survived five sons and three daughters.

Among them, Jia's favorite youngest son Qi Zhao and youngest daughter Qi Xiaomei.

Xu followed his own son, and Qi Zhao was also a prosperous person, and he had six sons and two daughters with his wife and concubine.

Among Qi Zhao's six sons, Jia's favorite eldest grandson, Qi Lingtao, was the most.

It's a pity that Qi Lingtao is not a sister-in-law, but a maid she rewarded her son with, and she can't inherit the family business.

After Qi Zhao passed away, he divided his house, and Qi Lingtao only got a house and a few shops, which was very thin.

Jia's family feels sorry for her grandson, but there are more than 20 grandsons under her name, and all of them are concubines, even if she wants to be partial to Qi Lingtao, she can't go too far. After all, she still has to rely on Qi Lingjiang, the eldest son and grandson of the patriarch.

But a few months ago, the Qi family in the capital suddenly experienced a big change, and it soon spread to Luoyang.

The Qi family's property was confiscated, and the Qi clan's vitality was also greatly damaged. And Qi Lingtao, the children and grandchildren who did not inherit the ancestral business, are living more and more difficult.

After thinking about it several times, Jia discussed it with Qi Lingjiang, and then took Qi Lingtao's family to Beijing to join Qi Lingxian and Qi Lingyuan's brothers.

Qi Da Niu's branch is really prosperous, Qi Lingtao, like his father and ancestors, gave birth to a total of five sons and four daughters, and finally survived three sons and two daughters.

The three sons all married wives, and the two daughters were the youngest, and before they could say anything about their in-laws, they were brought into the capital by the Jia family.

In this regard, the Jia family also has a plan, although the title of the Qi family in the capital is gone, but the daughter-in-law of the first brother is still the county lord's wife, and only relying on her, the Qi family in the capital will not be defeated.

And the first brother and daughter-in-law know all nobles, there are always men of the right age in these noble families, and the two great-granddaughters are better than staying in Luoyang and marrying a rich family or squire.

In addition to these children and grandchildren, Jia also brought her favorite great-granddaughter.

"Shu'er has seen my sister-in-law." A beautiful woman about twenty years old bowed down, and her voice was as melodious and crisp as a yellow warbler out of the valley.

Gu Jialuo just learned the identity of this girl from the county lord of Qinghe, Jia Shu, the granddaughter of Qi Xiaomei, the youngest daughter of the Jia family.

In other words, it is understandable that the Jia family brought their favorite grandson family to Beijing.

But what is the purpose of bringing a beautiful girl like Jia Shu who has passed the flower letter?

As far as Gu Jialuo knows, Jia Shu's parents are here, and the family is wealthy, so there is no need to go to a foreign family at all.

"Cousin doesn't need to be polite,"

Gu Jialuo bowed slightly, and smiled politely at the people around him: "Aunt Fang Cai praised me for being neat, and I was still happy in my heart, but I didn't know that there was a better-looking cousin here." ”

When everyone heard this, they knew that Gu Jialuo was deliberately adjusting the atmosphere, but everyone who had a flexible brain followed suit.

For a while, there was more laughter in the room, and it was much more lively.

But there are always people who are not flexible enough.

Mrs. Jia sat on the top, listened to Gu Jialuo's polite words, and nodded quite approvingly: "Shu'er's appearance is not bad, and the most gratifying thing is that this child has a good temperament, has been reading and reading since childhood, and is a famous talented woman in our four towns and eight miles." ”

Gu Jialuo pursed his lips secretly, but his face showed a deferential look, and he nodded his head from time to time, expressing his incomparable approval of the old man's words.

"Such a good boy, you can't be wronged at will, it just so happens that Brother Jin doesn't have a safe person around to serve," Mrs. Jia became more and more proud, and finally said something staggering: "Gu, since you also think Shu'er is good, just let Brother Jin marry Shu'er to be the second room, okay?!" ”
