Chapter 57: Foresight

Li Xiaonuan turned his head, stared at Gu Xiao for a while, and said with a smile:

"Alas, Mama Liu is going to die of embarrassment, do you know, to be a drunk crab, a slightly smaller crab is the best"

Gu Xiao suddenly realized, hurriedly turned around and ordered the bamboo branch,

"You go to the kitchen and tell Mama Liu that she can pick the crabs by herself, as long as they are delicious, no matter how big or small."

Takeeda smiled and bent his knees in agreement, and turned around to the kitchen to pass the word.

The next day, the autumn was crisp, Mr. Chen heard Gu Xiao say that he wanted to appreciate the chrysanthemum crab, and he let him go for an hour, Gu Xiao was surprised, hurriedly ran back, and simply took leave with Mr. Lin, and discussed with Li Xiaonuan with great interest about this and eating that.

Mrs. Li did not restrict a few of them, Gu Yunshan commanded the girls to arrange the Juwan Pavilion, and instructed Mama Liu to steam two baskets of crabs first, and then take two jars of good osmanthus stuff and send them to Mr. Chen and Mr. Lin.

The four of them were in the Juwan Pavilion, talking and laughing, slowly drinking wine and eating crabs, until the end of the day, the four of them were seven or eight points drunk, and they got up.

Gu Xiao lay on the railing, staring at the gorgeous and enchanting chrysanthemums in his eyes in fascination, his fingers were tracing on the pillar next to him, Gu Yunhuan pulled Li Xiaonuan, tears in his eyes, Gu Yunshan frowned and looked at her, Gu Yunhuan ignored her, only pulled Li Xiaonuan, and said sadly:

"Xiao Nuan, my cousin is going to the border after the New Year, and it will take three years to come back to the border pass, and it will be so hard, and I have to fight......

Gu Yunshan stepped forward and pushed Gu Yunhuan hard,

"Is he bitter for foolish things, do you want to fight, what do you want to bear?"

"The eldest sister and the second sister have always regarded Young Master Ke as Gu Xiao, if Gu Xiao has gone, aren't we too worried?"

Gu Yunshan turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, paused for a moment, and reprimanded:

"Don't indulge her, it's not for her good"

As he spoke, he turned around and nodded at Gu Yunhuan's forehead and scolded:

"You're not too young, in this case, with such a mind, I can't give you half a minute to look at you......"

Gu Yunshan paused back to the words, his upper body shook slightly a few times, thought about it, sat down next to Gu Yunhuan, and did not avoid Li Xiaonuan, lowered his voice and said:

"Mother and ancestor are not without this thought, a few days ago, my mother had asked someone to bring a letter and asked my aunt what she meant."

Gu Yunhuan's eyes lit up as if he could emit light, and he grabbed Gu Yunshan's hand tightly, his eyes full of anticipation. Holding his breath and waiting for her to continue, Gu Yunshan nodded her forehead hatefully,

"Look at your aunt and said that the prince said, firstly, he is still young, and secondly, his cousin Ke is going to the border to join the army, and it is not too late to discuss this matter when he comes back, and besides, our family is still in filial piety, and there is no way to discuss relatives, we have a mother in everything, and our ancestors are worried about, you also have to be angry, if you are always so confused, if you do something stupid, wouldn't it hurt yourself?"

Gu Yunhuan was full of joy, nodding anxiously, Li Xiaonuan held her cheeks, and looked at Gu Yunhuan in distress, that Cheng Ke didn't look like a good person, why did she like such a person? If you want to marry such a person in the future, fate is really unclear

"I'm just telling you, don't be too happy, now it's just that the ancestor and mother want to marry someone, what does the aunt mean, what does the prince think, I don't know what the old lady, the palace, and cousin Ke mean, but I can't say for sure, you still don't have any thoughts, so as not to be sad when you get it"

Gu Yunhuan didn't listen to Gu Yunshan's words at all, he just nodded with a smile on his face,

"I know, I know everything, my aunt loves my sister the most, rest assured"

Gu Yunshan sighed, stomped her feet helplessly, and hatefully nodded Gu Yunhuan's forehead, not knowing what to say for a while, Li Xiaonuan shook and stood up, poured two glasses of wine, brought them over and handed them to Gu Yunshan and Gu Yunhuan, turned around and poured another glass of wine for herself, and said with a smile:

"May there be **** in the world, and all of them will become dependents"

Gu Xiao didn't know when he came over, clapping and shouting,

"Nuan Nuan said it so well"

Li Xiaonuan turned around, stuffed the wine glass in his hand into Gu Xiao's hand, poured another glass of wine himself, raised it, and invited the three of them to drink it.

Gu Yunhuan kept laughing, Gu Yunshan looked at Gu Yunhuan and sighed, and told the waiter to help her go back to rest, Gu Xiao fell on the armchair with his eyes confused, Ju Ying hurriedly called Xinghong, helped Gu Xiao up, said goodbye, and went back to Wutong Courtyard.

Li Xiaonuan staggered to his feet, waved his hand to Gu Yunshan and said:

"Big sister, I'm going back too, I want to sleep."

Gu Yunshan held the back of the chair and watched with some dazed eyes as Li Xiaonuan supported the end of winter, staggering back along the flower path.

The next morning, Li Xiaonuan was sitting on the couch in the east wing embroidering flowers, when he heard the report of the little girl at the gate of the courtyard:

"The eldest lady is here"

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly jumped out of the main house, Gu Yunshan took the pearl, walked in along the hand-copying verandah, walked in easily, smiled and took Li Xiaonuan's hand and said:

"It's easy to get busy, come and hide here with you."

Li Xiaonuan smiled and let Gu Yunshan into the house, and at the end of winter, the tea was brewed and served, Li Xiaonuan pointed to the tea and said with a smile:

"Everyone said that the lotus tea in the summer was good, and I used chrysanthemum leaves to make some tea the day before yesterday, so let the big sister taste it first."

Gu Yunshan sat on the couch in the east wing, took the tea, drank a few sips slowly, tasted it carefully, and said with a smile:

"This chrysanthemum leaf tea, there is a kind of fragrance, why don't you use chrysanthemum?"

"Chrysanthemums are not as refreshing as chrysanthemum leaves."

Li Xiaonuan said with a smile, Gu Yunshan put down the cup a little absentmindedly, turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, sighed softly and said:

"It's still a good hour, I don't have much thought, I don't think about eating every day, I just want to play, I'm blessed to grow up, I want to think about this, I have to worry about that, how can I still have these thoughts of eating and playing"

Li Xiaonuan was stunned, tilted her head thoughtfully and looked at Gu Yunshan, but did not answer, Gu Yunshan sighed heavily, and leaned back on the pillow,

"It's useless to tell you this, although you are smart and sensible, but after all, you are still young, how can you understand my worries? Alas"

Gu Yunshan sighed one after another, Li Xiaonuan looked at her carefully, thought about it, only smiled, and didn't dare to speak. Gu Yunshan sighed for a while, turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, and said sadly:

"Look at this family, my mother is not in good health, and her heart has been depressed, in a year, there are only a few days when I can be happy, and the ancestor is old, how many years can I worry about it? Yun Huan only thought about it...... In the capital, Gu Xiao is small, and it will ...... in a few years."

Gu Yunshan paused, coughed lightly, and then said:

"I'm fifteen years old this year, and I'll be filial next year, so how many years can I stay at home? When I think about it, I can't sleep. ”

Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yunshan with some stunnedness, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile:

"Big sister and relax, as the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the second sister is also smart and capable, but now that the big sister is in charge, everyone wants to be lazy, and when the sister gets married, she will naturally take care of it."

Gu Yunshan smiled and pinched Li Xiaonuan's cheek,

"You will say good things, Yun Huan is not the kind of capable housekeeper, she will only be sad and sad, she will read those idle books every day, and read those useless poems with tears, alas"

Gu Yunshan sighed heavily,

"If you can't manage the director at home, even if you get married in the future, you will still be so clear and bright without red dust, and you must not be bullied to death?"

Li Xiaonuan thought about it and nodded, Gu Yunshan's brows furrowed, and she turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan,

"If Yun Huan is half as sensible as you, I won't have these hearts, you also know Yun Huan's thoughts, thinking about Runan Wangfu wholeheartedly, but her mother won't stop her, but she looks like that, if she really enters Runan Wangfu, how can there be a good one?"

Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yunshan with some confusion, Gu Yunshan sighed and sighed, and became even more annoyed,

"Runan Wangfu has always been thin, the masters have become relatives, a year and a half, the elders have arranged to take concubines to receive the house, I don't know how much gas to be born in the middle, if you can give birth to a son in three years or two years, it's okay, if it's like an aunt, almost thirty years old before giving birth to a son, I don't know how much idleness to suffer, these ten years, my aunt Zhang Luo to the prince to accept how many concubines, but these concubines even failed to give birth to a daughter."

Gu Yunshan paused and became angry,

"It is said that my aunt is virtuous on the surface, but in fact...... Even Concubine Cheng Guifei called her aunt into the palace every now and then to beat her, and for this, her aunt avoided in the Zhuangzi outside the city for two or three years before she became pregnant with her cousin Ke before moving back to the palace."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yunshan, who was extremely indignant, in a daze, coughed lightly, and asked in a low voice:

"How do you know this?"

Gu Yunshan moved a little uncomfortably, lowered her head and took a sip of tea from her cup, and said in a low voice:

"I heard it when I listened to my mother and aunt gossiping."

"You're eavesdropping, aren't you?"

Li Xiaonuan said unceremoniously, Gu Yunshan put down the cup, reached out and patted Li Xiaonuan's head,

"You're smart enough to talk to you, what are you doing with all this?"

"Big sister, you also think too much, even if the second sister wants to get married, she has to wait for you to get out of the house, she can discuss marriage, you have to wait until next year's filial piety, tomorrow I don't know what is going on, you suddenly think of a few years, more than ten years, decades later"

Gu Yunshan raised her eyebrows, became annoyed, and reached out to point Li Xiaonuan's forehead,

"You little girl, how about a day? You also studied with your wife, and you haven't heard the saying 'people have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries'? ”

Li Xiaonuan shook his head and said seriously:

"I don't understand what the eldest sister said, but I think it's useless for the eldest sister to think about it, didn't Young Master Ke say that he would go to the border to join the army next year? Let's talk about having a child, it's even more uncertain, no matter how much the big sister thinks about it now, it's useless, right? ”
