Chapter 66 passes

Gu Yunshan squinted at Li Xiaonuan, smiled and didn't speak, Li Xiaonuan looked at her with a smile, the two were silent for a moment, Gu Yunshan said in a low voice:

"The ancestor said that if she had an idea, she would invite someone to come to her door...... Glance. ”

Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yunshan in surprise, Old Madam Li's open-mindedness and wisdom were always above her expectations.

After a while, Mrs. Li spoke thoroughly, and Jin Zhiyang's mother, Mrs. Zhang, took Jin Zhiyang to visit and visit Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was lively in entertaining the mother and son of the Jin family, Gu Yunshan was shy, but she believed it and carefully looked at Jin Zhiyang behind the screen.

Li Xiaonuan and Gu Yunhuan were excitedly lying behind the screen, peeking and eavesdropping.

Bi Lian turned the screen, pursed her lips and smiled at the three people crowded behind the screen, took the meeting gift prepared by Mrs. Li, and sent it back.

The mother and son of the Jin family had lunch in the ancient mansion, and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou accompanied the two of them in the back garden for more than an hour, and Mrs. Zhang took Jin Zhiyang to say goodbye and go back.

Although Mrs. Zhou was a little dissatisfied with the Jin family's family, Mrs. Zhang's modesty and generosity, Jin Zhiyang's stability and excellence, still made her suppress that little dissatisfaction, and happily nodded and agreed to the Jin family's family affairs, after all, the Zhao family still has an old lady who is only thirty years old, and she is a house-filler, and she has a son.

The two families quickly put together the eight characters, put Xiaoding, Mrs. Zhang came by boat again, and solemnly discussed the various kinds of relatives and weddings, and the attention of the Jin family made Mrs. Zhou extremely satisfied, and this family affair was also a great joy.

Mrs. Zhou began to think about preparing Gu Yunshan's dowry, Zhuangzi, shops, furniture to be rosewood, which ones are ready-made, which ones are freshly made of wood, antique ornaments, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry, and all kinds of embroidery...... There are all kinds of colors, and everything has to be seen in person before you can rest assured, under the busyness, Mrs. Zhou's continuous illness has no trace for a while, and she is mentally handling Gu Yunshan's dowry every day.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival again, Gu Yunshan had no intention of going out, Gu Yunhuan was infected with a little wind and cold, Li Xiaonuan stopped Gu Xiao, who was excited to go out to see the lanterns, and only watched a few fireworks at home to pass the Lantern Festival.

The Spring Festival passed quickly, the ancient mansion packed up the things for the festival, and put it into the preparation of Gu Yunshan's dowry, Li Xiaonuan discussed it with Mama Wei, and said to Gu Yunshan, ready to help her embroider dozens of purses, among the dowries, the purse is the most used thing.

Bilian celebrated the seventeenth year of the New Year, and after Mrs. Li invited Mr. Chen to have a meal, she pointed her out to Mr. Chen as a concubine.

At the end of winter, he sat sadly on the edge of the couch, embroidering his purse for a while, and sighed:

"The ancestor is really, how can a character like Sister Bilian be a concubine? No matter how talented Mr. Chen is, he is also a concubine, he has a child, and he is also a concubine, and Sister Bilian is too, why don't you know that you earn a profit? The ancestor is not the kind of unreasonable person, he would rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine."

Li Xiaonuan put down the needle and thread in his hand, turned his head, and stared at the end of the winter for a while before sighing and saying:

"You, how many times have I told you, you must see everything with your eyes, hear with your ears, and think with your brain"

Looking at Li Xiaonuan at the end of winter, she suddenly came to her senses and froze, Li Xiaonuan looked at her and sighed again,

"I'd rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine, this is what you think, others don't necessarily think so, since ancient times, there are many good family girls who love people and admire talents, and are willing to be concubines, it must be her own love for Mr. Chen, begging the ancestor to be the master, the ancestor asked Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen also agreed, and then gave Bilian to Mr. Chen."

At the end of winter, he hung his head, put down the flower bandage in his hand, and became sad,

"The girl is right, but Sister Bilian is really blinded by lard, how can she ......"

"Alas"

Li Xiaonuan looked at the end of winter helplessly, sighed heavily and said:

"Look at you, what tears do you wipe from the joy of others? This matter, alas, I don't know when this Bilian met this Mr. Chen, but, looking at the ancestors, he knew, but I was afraid that he was also given a tolerance, but he had a personal relationship, alas, Bilian is seeking benevolence and benevolence, and it is also a good thing."

"The girl is right, but I still feel uncomfortable in my heart."

At the end of winter, she sighed several times and said, Li Xiaonuan looked at her silently, she felt more uncomfortable, for Bilian, and more, for Mr. Chen's wife who worked hard at home

At the end of the first month, Bilian and Mr. Chen had a round room, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Li discussed, to take Gu Xiao out for a year, Mrs. Li was very much in favor, Mrs. Zhou was full of reluctance, but this trip was also a serious matter, although she was extremely unwilling, she had to nod and agree.

Gu Xiao was excited, and reluctantly said goodbye to Li Xiaonuan.

At the beginning of February, on an auspicious day, Mr. Chen and Gu Xiao took about 20 long-term followers and small servants, took two boats, and set off to the south first.

On the third day after Gu Xiao left, Li Xiaonuan received a package sent back by Gu Xiao from the post road, which contained a scroll of paintings and four clay figures.

Li Xiaonuan put the four mud Afu on a few, tilted his head and looked at it for a while, before opening the scroll, according to the font number marked on it, looking at it one by one, on the one-foot-wide rice paper, there were few brushstrokes, but the scenery was painted very expressively, the first is a boat moving forward in the water waves, there are two people standing on the boat, one high and one short, the second is a dock, and the temples and mountains in the distance are faint.

Li Xiaonuan looked at them one by one with a smile, and Gu Xiao drew all the places he had walked and looked at and gave them to her.

Gu Xiao was not in the house, Li Xiaonuan's life was quiet all of a sudden, Gu Yunhuan listened to her mother-in-law's reply with Gu Yunshan in the morning, and soaked in Songfeng Courtyard almost every afternoon, Li Xiaonuan was distressed, so she simply changed to read books every morning, and went to the Rose Courtyard in the afternoon, doing needlework with Gu Yunshan, selecting embroidery patterns with her, and embroidering those purses that I don't know how many I need.

Gradually, the three of them gathered in one place every afternoon to do needlework, busy preparing Gu Yunshan's dowry embroidery.

Spring slipped, the scorching summer passed, after autumn, winter came again, at the end of the month, Gu Xiao returned to the house with Mr. Chen in the expectation of everyone, and got off the boat at the Gujia wharf.

Mrs. Zhou eagerly took out the corner door, Gu Yunshan, Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan accompanied her in the corner door, Gu Xiao seemed to have grown a lot taller all of a sudden, the person was darker, and it was much stronger, when she saw Mrs. Zhou, she was about to kneel down and kowtow, Mrs. Zhou pulled him into her arms, didn't say a word, and cried bitterly.

Gu Yunshan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, and together with Gu Xiao, she helped Mrs. Zhou along the path in the garden and walked towards Ruixuan Hall.

Mrs. Zhou just stared at Gu Xiao intently along the way, and her eyes were reluctant to leave for a moment, Gu Xiao helped Mrs. Zhou with a smile, and talked to her mother about how to rush home in a hurry along the way.

In Ruixuan Hall, Mrs. Li was holding Cuilian, standing at the door of the main house looking forward to it, Gu Xiao helped Mrs. Zhou into the courtyard, Mrs. Zhou was busy pushing him to see Mrs. Li, Gu Xiao walked a few steps, went up the steps, and before kneeling, he was held in his arms by Mrs. Li.

Several people smiled and persuaded, Gu Xiao helped Mrs. Li into the east chamber, knelt down again, kowtowed to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou, and then got up and sat next to Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li reached out and stroked his cheek, looked him up and down carefully, and said with a smile of relief for a while:

"Our Xiao'er has grown up and is more sensible, what have we learned in the past year or so, tell our ancestors well"

Cuilian came up with the tea and handed it to Gu Xiao, Gu Xiao took a sip and drank it, put down the cup, and danced with her eyebrows and talked endlessly about the interesting things and things she had seen along the way, sighing that the world is so big, there are no surprises.

Gu Yunshan, Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan sat around and listened to Gu Xiao with relish.

Old Madam Li listened for a while, and interrupted Gu Xiao's words with a smile,

"Our Xiao Er's trip has really grown a lot of knowledge, today I will talk to the ancestors about it here, you are in a hurry along the way, at this time, you are also tired, let the girls wait for you to bathe and wash, sleep well first, and come over early tomorrow morning to say goodbye."

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly nodded,

"Mother said very much, Xiao Er is tired, or hurry back to sleep well, this is a very hard day to go out, come back, but you have to take a good rest"

Gu Xiao respectfully agreed, got up with a smile and said goodbye, Mrs. Li instructed Grandma Sun to send Gu Xiao back to Wutong Courtyard, and watched him go out of the courtyard through the window, before reluctantly retracting her gaze.

Gu Yunshan motioned to Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan, and hurriedly got up and retreated, went out of the courtyard, and went back.

Li Xiaonuan returned to Songfeng Courtyard, was crooked on the couch doing needlework, there was a noise in the courtyard outside, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly straightened up, pushed open the window and looked out, a few rough mothers-in-law outside carried two huge wooden boxes in, Lan Chu commanded and put it under the eaves corridor, and at the end of winter, he took two hanging money and rewarded a few rough envoys-in-law, and the mothers-in-law thanked the reward in the east chamber and respectfully retreated.

Li Xiaonuan jumped out of the main house, and pointed to two huge wooden boxes with a smile at the end of winter:

"Girl, take a look, these two boxes were ordered by the young master to be carried over, saying that they were all gifts bought for the girl, and the mother-in-law was still very heavy when she carried them, and I don't know what they are."

Li Xiaonuan tilted her head and stared at the box for a while, then turned her head to look at the end of the winter and asked:

"Big sister and second sister, how many boxes are there? How big is the box? ”

"I really don't know."

At the end of the winter, he was stunned and said, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly turned around and ordered Lan Chu,

"You go, just say that I don't know where I left a handkerchief yesterday, go to the yard of the eldest lady and the second lady and take a look."

Lan Chu agreed, turned around and went out.
