Chapter 90: Joyful Letter
Gu Yunshan was slightly sad, Li Xiaonuan didn't know how to comfort her for a while, this feeling of being a daughter-in-law was just heard by her, Gu Yunshan sighed, looked up at Li Xiaonuan, and then said:
"I also told my ancestors, Yun Huan's temperament, if you marry someone in the future, you must carefully pick talents, what kind of family you want to marry, I can't say it for a while, but the long house and the daughter-in-law or something, according to her lazy nature, it is a little too difficult to do, not suitable, alas, speaking of which, Yun Huan is also seventeen years old this year, and in the next two years, it is time to get married, my mother is bent on thinking about Runan Wangfu, but I am afraid of other people, and I haven't planned it."
Gu Yunshan sighed, Li Xiaonuan thought about it, and took over with a smile,
"There is an ancestor, the ancestor must know it."
Gu Yunshan laughed,
"What you said is also true, the ancestor is thinking that Yun Huan can marry in the capital, in the future, if Gu Xiaoke is promoted to the office, I am afraid that our family will still have to move back to the capital mansion to live, so that Yun Huan will not be far away from his mother's family, and he can take care of anything."
Li Xiaonuan listened carefully, smiled and nodded,
"It's still the old ancestor who thinks thoughtfully."
"But no, alas, Ancestor,"
Gu Yunshan's voice fell,
"I'm getting older every year."
"The old ancestor is in good health, big sister, don't worry too much."
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly explained, Gu Yunshan smiled reluctantly,
"I'm just worrying, you don't have to persuade me, before I left, there was a group of girls in the Wutong Courtyard, and these girls are still safe now?"
"Very good, I haven't heard of anything, the ancestor has sent Grandma Sun to Wutong Courtyard to take charge of the president, what else can I do?"
Li Xiaonuan said in a relaxed voice, Gu Yunshan breathed a sigh of relief and laughed,
"That's good, I'm afraid that those girls will be restless and give birth to right and wrong, and they will be annoying."
Gu Yunshan paused, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and then said:
"Our house has always had strict rules, and the gentlemen don't have those messy rules in the capital, if it was in the Zhenning Hou Mansion, in the room of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young master like Gu Xiao, someone would have been let in the mother's ......."
Gu Yunshan's mouth was sticky, and he said vaguely:
"There are some things, you just pay attention to knocking on Gu Xiao is, Gu Xiao has listened to you since he was a child, what you say, he can take everything to heart, don't be too cautious, some words, some things, you have to say what you should say, and you have to take care of what you should manage."
Li Xiaonuan listened to the explicit hints in Gu Yunshan's words, and was stunned for a while, Gu Yunshan looked at her carefully and smiled,
"Since the day you arrived at home, I have not treated you as an outsider, if anything happens, send someone to deliver a letter to me, you can only rest assured, I will be on your side."
Li Xiaonuan didn't know what to say for a while, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, Gu Yunshan's extraneous meaning, she heard it clearly, like what she said at the end of winter, Gu Xiao and the Gu family, she couldn't even think of it, Gu Yunshan's words, is it her own meaning, or the meaning of the ancestors?
Gu Yunshan saw Li Xiaonuan lowering her eyes, but she didn't speak, laughed softly, stood up, turned around and went into the house to take out the small rosewood box, pushed it in front of Li Xiaonuan, and smiled and motioned her to open it.
"This is the one I chose, and I specially called you, you can see if you like it or not."
Li Xiaonuan opened the box, and the box was full of bracelets, studs, earrings, rings and other jewelry, which was dazzling with gold.
"It's all red gold, don't blame me for being cheesy, I just like this red gold thing"
Li Xiaonuan picked out the smallest ring from the box, closed the box and pushed it back.
"Big sister, it's enough for me to ask for this ring, this box is too valuable, I can't take it anymore, where can I use so many precious jewelry? Big sister, let's take it back. ”
Gu Yunshan looked at Li Xiaonuan with a smile in her eyes, reached out and took the ring in her hand, opened the box and threw it in, and pushed the box in front of Li Xiaonuan.
"What's so polite with a big sister? Don't worry about it, don't say such a box, even if it is ten boxes, it is nothing in the hands of the big sister now, but you are different, take it quickly, put it away if you don't need it, and save it as a dowry. ”
Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yunshan gratefully and thanked:
"Big sister treats me like this, Xiao Nuan really doesn't know what to say."
Gu Yunshan patted Li Xiaonuan's hand and said in a low voice:
"Big sister is serious and wants to thank you, alas, in the past two years, you have bothered a lot about the big and small things in the family, Yun Huan, thanks to you...... Yun Huan is actually an understanding person, she loves to be cranky, sad all day long, thinking about useless things, you are good to her, she understands that Yun Huan is five years older than you, she is like a little one, you are like a sister"
Gu Yunshan sighed again,
"Yun Huan is like this, she will have to suffer for a while if she gets married, and I don't know when she and Gu Xiao will grow up."
"Big sister, don't be too anxious, the second sister is now the housekeeper director, and it is no worse than the big sister back then, Gu Xiao is only fourteen years old after the New Year, and he is still a little younger, and he studied in Wansong Academy with Mr. Chen last year, and it seems that he has grown up a lot all of a sudden, and in another year or two, he will be able to bear it if he experiences more things."
Li Xiaonuan smiled and explained Gu Yunshan, Gu Yunshan caressed Li Xiaonuan's cheeks lovingly,
"You girl, you can persuade people, with you at home, I am much more relieved, and you yourself take care of yourself, mother...... Mother is a heartless person, whether she likes it or not, she doesn't think about everything deeply, what is the matter, you know it in your heart, it's just a matter of coaxing her to be happy, if there is anything embarrassing, let people write it to me, do you hear? ”
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly nodded and agreed, the two gossiped for a while, Li Xiaonuan saw that Gu Yunshan's face was tired, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye, handed the box to the jade button to hold, and went back to Songfeng Courtyard.
Just after the beginning of the next day, Jin Zhiyang arrived at Gufu to pick up Gu Yunshan and Yan'er, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou were afraid that the three of them would not be able to go back to Taizhou in time, so they didn't dare to stay longer, so they sent the three of them to get on the boat and go back.
After a few days, a letter came from the capital, Qian Xuezheng was to be transferred back to the capital to serve in the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor newly appointed Zhao Wenzhi as the two Zhejiang Road Xuezheng, Zhao Wenzhi went to the Ministry of Officials on the sixth day to receive the documents, and he had already set off, and he could arrive at the beginning of February.
Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly rummaged through Zhao Wenzhi's resume in the mansion,
"I remember that there was an excerpt written by him in the copy of the house in June last year, which said that Jingdong Road was dry and hot in summer, and the harvest in autumn must be bad or something, as if the text was plain with tension, but it was not weird."
Old Madam Li stopped her with a smile,
"You don't have to look for it, there are few articles like Qian Xuezheng in the world, how can you go to one and come to the same one? This Zhao Wenzhi is a student of Tang Jiyuan, and he has always been good friends with the Runan Palace, and he is a good person. ”
Li Xiaonuan stopped and was pleasantly surprised,
"Isn't that the same brother as the young master? What if"
Li Xiaonuan paused back to the words behind her, stuck out her tongue, Mrs. Li looked at her with a smile and took over the conversation,
"It would be nice if I asked Young Master Cousin to ask Tang Jiyuan to say something, wouldn't it?"
Li Xiaonuan nodded hurriedly, and Mrs. Li laughed,
"Silly girl, why do you want to stir up the crowd like this? That Zhao Wenzhi's family is also rich, but it has nothing to do with the noble word, he is only thirty-seven or eighteen years old this year, but he is a Jinshi background, more than ten years of hard work, all the way to the two Zhejiang Road study politics, but he is a shrewd person, and he naturally knows it in his heart. ”
Li Xiaonuan listened carefully to Mrs. Li's words, thought about it, and nodded with a smile,
"I'm thinking left again, this shrewd person, what he wants is to know in his heart"
Old Madam Li nodded with satisfaction,
"Well, we are now in Shangli Town, which is a paradise, if you are in the capital, you have to know everything in your heart, which lady and lady blocked a word for you today, reminding you of a half-star, you have to count in your heart, and you have to repay the peach if you have the opportunity."
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly stood up and bent his knees in agreement,
"Xiao Nuan wrote it down."
Old Madam Li smiled and motioned for her to sit back on the couch, and then said:
"Xiao Er will take the exam this fall, and after the first month, he won't let him go to Wansong Academy again, just stay at home and write articles."
Li Xiaonuan listened to Mrs. Li's instructions with a smile, Gu Xiao won the move this autumn, and the year after next is the spring exam of the Ministry of Rites, will Mrs. Li take the Gu family back to the capital before the exam? Or wait for Gu Xiao to move back after he gets the Jinshi? In this paradise, she is very reluctant, that capital, even a word has to think of repaying the peach, when she gets there, she is such an identity, can't she be so cautious that she is tired to death?
At the end of the first month, Di Copied Shangming issued the transfer of Qian Xuezheng and the appointment of the new Xuezheng, and Mr. Chen rushed back to the ancient mansion early, accompanied Gu Xiao, and prepared to study hard for more than half a year.
A few days later, Mrs. Li received a message from the steward of the Runan Palace, saying that the prince wanted to come to the ancient family to visit Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou, and by the way, visit the senior brother and congratulate him on his arrival in the Liangzhejiang Road School Administration.
Mrs. Li was overjoyed, and Li Xiaonuan was also a little moved, in this life, it is a little worse, but for Gu Xiao's little cousin, she really loves and takes care of her, not to mention sending books and things every now and then, this trip to visit is all for Gu Xiao's exam, and the so-called heart knows.
Li Xiaonuan thought for a while, looked at Mrs. Li, and asked hesitantly:
"Did Young Master Cousin go to visit Zhao Xuezheng alone, or did he take Gu Xiao with him?"
"Naturally, it's better to let Xiao'er accompany him."
Mrs. Li said with a smile,
"That,"
Li Xiaonuan hesitated and said:
"Do you want your eldest brother-in-law to go with you? I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”
Two o'clock in the afternoon, hugs everyone
