Ruixuan Hall, Mrs. Li looked at Gu Xiao with a smile on her face and jumped out excitedly, turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhou who was frowning and said:

"Let them have a good time, grow up in the future, get married, become a family, and think of these things again, I don't know how warm and happy my heart is."

A warm smile welled up in Mrs. Li's eyes, and she said slowly with nostalgia:

"When I was a child, one summer, it was so hot that I couldn't sleep, so I stole a jar of daughter red with my two cousins, and slipped into the water pavilion in the middle of the lake to cool off.

Mrs. Li smiled and laughed, bursting into tears,

"Alas, decades have passed, and the two cousins are now leaving early!"

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly got up, took the tea held in the tray of the little girl and handed it over, and persuaded with a smile:

"The two cousins and aunts are also long-lived people, and now their children and grandchildren are also so good, and they are all extremely blessed people."

Mrs. Li pressed the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, reached out to take the cup, and said with a smile:

"Look at me, the older I get, the more I live, and I'm obviously happy, but I'm crying!"

Mrs. Zhou wanted to laugh, but a burst of sadness came from her heart, and she held back her tears and didn't overdo it.

Mrs. Li looked at her with pity, stretched out her hand to pull her to sit on the edge of the couch, patted her hand, and whispered sadly:

"Our Gu family...... You are also a miserable person, Xiao Er is still so young, alas! ”

Old Madam Li sighed heavily,

Xiao Er said...... It's not too smart, but it's better than being a kind-hearted child, so good, so good! Such a temperament, in the future, can live a long life, you also want to open some, those noble and glorious false names, don't do it, in the future, Xiao'er will become a family, our family will live a rich and happy life quietly, it is the real blessing! ”

Mrs. Zhou's eyes flashed with unwillingness and indignation, she lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice after a while:

"I listen to my mother."

Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Zhou carefully, her expression was gloomy, she patted Mrs. Zhou's hand gently, sighed and did not speak again.

Early the next morning, at the end of winter, according to Li Xiaonuan's explanation, he counted five hundred dollars and asked the little girl to send them to the Rose Courtyard, and Shiqin and Juying also sent people to send five hundred dollars each.

Pearl took the money, took it over and put it on the couch, turned around and took out the Nanmu box that usually puts silver coins out, and was about to count five hundred yuan out, Gu Yunshan hurriedly waved his hand to stop it:

"No more counting the money."

Pearl was stunned, and turned her head to look at Gu Yunshan, who was playing with a pile of copper coins on the couch with bright eyes, her girl's temperament and personality are different from others, and she has loved to calculate silver money since she was a child, only in and out!

Gu Yunshan picked up a string of five hundred coins and put it aside, pointed to the other two strings of money and ordered:

"Put these two strings away."

Pearl smiled helplessly, put the copper coin into the Nanmu box, Gu Yunshan poked her head, looked at the box full of silver coins with satisfaction, and ordered with a smile:

"Put away the box, you call a little girl to find a trip to Mama Zhou, let her urge some Mrs. Li, the crabs should be sent in quickly, collect the crabs, take two hundred dollars to Mrs. Li, one hundred yuan is to reward her, one hundred yuan let her go to our Guji Wine Workshop to get a jar of good rice wine, the remaining three hundred yuan, one hundred yuan to the kitchen head Liu Mama, let her take care of a few kinds of fruit snacks out, and two hundred yuan, keep it for rewarding!"

Pearl smiled and agreed, hesitated, and whispered:

"If the second lady and the young master knew that the basket of crabs was sent in by our Zhuangzi......"

"How could Gu Xiao know? As for Yun Huan, don't even pay attention to her, she only can't forget the capital, how can she have the heart to pay attention to these things?! Besides, even if you know, what can you have? The basket of crabs was also sent by me with a love person! ”

At noon the next day, Gu Xiao hurriedly ate two bites of food, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and only said that he was full, Li Xiaonuan drooled and had a **** crab dream, and he didn't have the heart to eat, so he hurriedly followed Gu Xiao and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Old Madam Li laughed and waved her hand,

"Go, go, go!"

Then he called Ju Ying and the end of the winter to come and command:

"Look at your master, that crab is a cold thing, you can't eat more, put more ginger shreds in the wine and cook it hot, eat the crab, hurry up and drink a few sips of hot rice wine to drive away the cold nature of the crab, just don't let them drink too much!"

Gu Yunshan and Gu Yunhuan also put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up, Gu Yunhuan said with a smile:

"Ancestor, don't worry, I'm looking at the two of them!"

"It's okay if you don't mess around with them, can you still watch the two of them? Yun Shan, you are a big one, but you have to take care of your younger brothers and sisters! ”

Gu Yunhuan pouted at Mrs. Li, and Gu Yunshan agreed with a smile on her bent knees,

"Ancestor, rest assured."

"I couldn't eat those cold things a few years ago, you don't have to let people send them over to honor me, your mother doesn't like to eat that thing, and you don't have to let people send them over, don't worry about the people next to you, Ming'er, you let Zhuangzi send a few more baskets over, and share the food for everyone to meet the situation, today is a few of your sisters and brothers, just keep it for you to eat by yourself, don't send it everywhere, how much money do you have?!"

Mrs. Li babbled a few more words, then smiled and waved her hand, the four of them retreated, went out of the house together, and walked out of the courtyard, Mrs. Li watched the four of them come out of the house with a smile on her face, and then turned her head and called Bilian over and ordered:

"You go to Songfeng Courtyard, let Mama Wei follow over and watch, don't let their siblings drink too much."

Bi Lian was stunned, and said with a smile:

"Ancestor, Mama Wei is so good-natured, where can she stand it? It's better for me and Cuilian to watch together, or Grandma Sun and Mama Zhou to watch in the past, maybe I can say it a few more times, and the young master and young lady can still listen to it. ”

Old Madam Li laughed, looked at Bi Lian and didn't explain, only waved her hand and said:

"You just let Mama Wei go over and watch, she is the most suitable, go quickly."

Bilian bent her knees in confusion, and hurriedly turned around and went out to speak.

The four of them laughed and entered the Juwan Pavilion, the Juwan Pavilion has been properly arranged, the stone table and stone bench in the pavilion have been lifted out, a large square table of rosewood is placed in the center, there are more than a dozen delicate and small dim sum fruits around the table, and there are armchairs with thick cushions around the pavilion, and the benches next to the railings around the pavilion are also covered with thick cotton cushions.

On the west side of the pavilion are two small red clay stoves, one is boiling kettle water on the red clay stove, and the other is closed with the door closed, and a small copper kettle is placed on it, and a trace of rich wine fragrance wafts all over the pavilion.

Next to the red clay stove is a very clean small table, on which are cups, plates, tea utensils and other things.

There were more than a dozen little girls scattered around the pavilion, busy in an orderly manner.

Li Xiaonuan and Gu Xiao entered the pavilion together, looked around, turned their heads to look at Gu Yunshan and exclaimed:

"The big sister is really thoughtful, and it makes people feel comfortable to watch!"

"That's it, my sister is the most capable!"

Gu Yunhuan hurriedly followed behind and flattered, Gu Yunshan smiled and pulled Li Xiaonuan over, and glanced at Gu Yunhuan,

"You're embarrassed to say, my mother asked you to take charge of the board of directors with me, you don't care, today we will appreciate the chrysanthemum crab by ourselves, you don't care, at the end of the year, praise me for my ability?!"

Gu Yunhuan stepped forward and pulled Gu Yunshan's sleeve, and his voice was soft and coquettish,

"Who let me have such a capable sister! My sister has done it for me, I don't have to worry about it! ”

Li Xiaonuan and Gu Xiao nodded hurriedly, followed by flattery:

"That's it, the second sister is right, it's our blessing to have the eldest sister to worry about!"

Gu Yunshan sighed with a smile and asked everyone to sit down, and the mother-in-law in the kitchen carried a small cage drawer and sent ten crabs over.

Li Xiaonuan poked her head, salivated and looked at the fat crab in the cage drawer, and was about to reach out to take it, Gu Yunshan hurriedly slapped her hand away, and said with a smile:

"How can you hold it in your hands like that? If it's hot, or if you prick your hand, how can you do it?! ”

Standing behind Li Xiaonuan at the end of winter, he said with a smile:

"Don't worry, girl, I'll clip it to the girl."

Li Xiaonuan was a little embarrassed to get up, stuck out her tongue slightly, sat back, and at the end of winter, she took a crab with a silver clip and put it in the white porcelain dish in front of Li Xiaonuan, cleaned her hands, and was about to step forward to peel her off, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly stopped her, and said with a smile:

"Let me do it myself, this thing must be peeled and eaten by yourself to be interesting!"

At the end of winter, he stopped with a smile, took a cup, poured a cup of hot rice wine and handed it over, Li Xiaonuan salivated and opened the crab shell, picked out the crab intestines with a silver needle, dialed the paste yellow into a small silver bowl, poured some ginger vinegar, and sent it to his mouth with a silver spoon, squinting his eyes with satisfaction.

Gu Xiao stared at Li Xiaonuan who was eating the crab with straight eyes, and then turned his head to look at Gu Yunhuan, who was carefully peeling the crab meat, and Gu Yunshan, who was digging the crab paste with a spoon, he also felt that his mouth was full of liquid, thought about it, turned his head to look at Ju Ying, who was peeling the crab, and said with a smile:

"I'll do it myself, this thing must be peeled and eaten by yourself to be interesting."

Ju Ying was stunned, laughed, nodded hurriedly, put down the half-peeled crab in his hand, put some ginger and vinegar in the paste yellow and peeled out of the crab meat, pushed it in front of Gu Xiao, and used a silver clip to clip a fat male crab and put it in the white porcelain plate in front of Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao learned from Li Xiaonuan and clumsily peeled the crab.

Li Xiaonuan quickly ate a crab clean, washed his hands in a washing cup with chrysanthemum petals on the table, picked up the wine glass, and slowly drank a cup of hot rice wine, only to feel that the warmth on his body was very comfortable!

Gu Yunhuan and Gu Yunshan also finished eating a crab and drank hot rice wine, only Gu Xiao was still tossing and turning against the crab with teeth and claws.

Seeing that the three of them were looking at him, Gu Xiao simply threw the crab on the plate, washed his fingers, and said with a smile:

"This crab, that is, this paste yellow, is a bit of a head, and the meat in the shell is really troublesome, so I don't eat it!"

As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and sighed:

"It's so comfortable!"
