Chapter Eighty-Eight: Take Your Time

Li Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows and said with some surprise:

"Why didn't you notice? He said that the candied fruit in our house is good, but it is sour, if you don't like to eat it, how do you know that it is sour? ”

Gu Yunhuan was stunned, smiled and nodded,

"That's just as well."

"This young master, looking black and strong, how can he have the same preferences as our women? Second sister, don't you know, a while ago, didn't the young master bring a box of books to Gu Xiao?"

Gu Yunhuan nodded hurriedly, Li Xiaonuan pursed his lips and smiled, and continued with a strange face:

"I borrowed it from Gu Xiao to take a look, and Gu Xiao asked Lian to send the box over, and the result was ah."

Li Xiaonuan couldn't help laughing, Gu Yun became anxious,

"The result? Don't laugh yet, just talk about it."

"As a result, as soon as I opened the box, I smelled a fragrance, a very good smell, it was the kind of fat powder aroma we used, you don't think it's weird."

Gu Yunhuan's face sank, and after a while, he whispered:

"This is also ...... There is nothing strange about it, before the gentlemen get married, it is common sense to put a few girls in the room to wait. ”

Li Xiaonuan was stunned for a while, meow, where did it go and coughed lightly, Li Xiaonuan smiled and changed the conversation,

"Who is that Zhou Gongzi?"

Gu Yunhuan shook his head,

"I don't know, among the famous Wang clan in the capital, except for the Zhou family of Zhenning Hou, I haven't heard of any family surnamed Zhou, didn't the eldest sister say it before, saying that he was a Qingke raised by Runan Wangfu, didn't you say to your face last time that he was a Qingke Xianggong? He didn't refute it, if it wasn't for the Qing Ke Xianggong, how could he let people say that? ”

Li Xiaonuan looked at her a little helplessly, and sighed secretly, such a simple little girl is easy to deceive.

"That Zhou Gongzi, the jade tree is in the wind, he looks really good, the young master must like this Zhou Gongzi very much, he is inseparable from him all day long, you say, there are so many empty yards in our house, the young master has to squeeze with him, this is too good, the two of us are so good, and we are not like them, we are tired of being in one place during the day, and we have to **** to sleep together at night, alas, is this the rule in the capital? This Qingke is inseparable from the proprietor? ”

Gu Yunhuan frowned slightly, shook his head and said:

"How can there be such a rule? That Qingke is a little higher than a minion, don't say ......"

A hint of strangeness flashed on Gu Yunhuan's face, and he paused, before continuing:

"Don't say it's so crowded, it's just a feast and a meal, and at most a last seat, it's very embarrassing."

"Hmm,"

Li Xiaonuan groaned,

"That's strange, the young master is as close to Zhou Gongzi as a person, not like a guest or host."

Gu Yunhuan looked at Li Xiaonuan with an inexplicable face, Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yunhuan, who didn't hear the meaning of her words at all, and suddenly understood, how can everyone in this era know about the ......**** affairs between this man and men, and how can they hear the dirty thoughts in their heads?

Alas, Li Xiaonuan sighed secretly and hesitated, should he teach her badly first, or should he think of another way? Gu Yunhuan looked at Li Xiaonuan, who suddenly shrugged his shoulders in a deflated manner, and became even more inexplicable,

"Xiao Nuan, what are you going to say?"

Li Xiaonuan shook his head with a busy smile,

"I don't have anything to say, it's just gossip, then, the crabs are cold, and I don't want to eat them, do you want to eat them? Why don't you send a few more hot ones from the kitchen? ”

Gu Yunhuan looked at Li Xiaonuan suspiciously, shook his head and said:

"I don't want to eat it either, Xiao Nuan, you're very strange today."

Li Xiaonuan smiled, didn't answer, called someone to come over and clean up, made tea and came up, and Gu Yunhuan gossiped without a match, about Runan Wangfu, about Cheng Ke, Gu Yunhuan mentioned I don't know how many times, Li Xiaonuan was the same as usual, and refused to take half a sentence, Gu Yunhuan gradually lost interest, yawned and went back to rest.

Li Xiaonuan slowly shook into the room, leaned on the couch, and thought about it intently, whether to think of something to make Gu Yunhuan understand something, or to think of other ways, but anything else, what other way could pull out the poisonous seedling in her heart?

After thinking about it for a few days, Li Xiaonuan made up her mind, no matter which world it is, it is not a good thing to be too pure, and it is better to let her understand it

Li Xiaonuan carefully calculated for a few more days, vacated his time, and ran to the study building almost every day, rummaging upstairs and downstairs looking for the books he wanted.

After looking for more than half a month, I finally found two or three notes from the previous dynasty that memorized these things, and after reading them carefully, Li Xiaonuan picked out one from the middle, made a mark and put it back on the shelf.

The days slipped into November, at the beginning of the month, at the end of winter and around the autumn leaves, Li Xiaonuan and Gu Yunhuan discussed, and simply let the two come in after the New Year to receive the messenger, before this year, let them have a good rest.

In the middle of November, Mr. Chen asked people to bring a letter, and he came back with Gu Xiao at the beginning of the month, Gu Yunhuan also sent his mother-in-law to come over early to deliver the letter, and he wanted to bring Yan'er back to live for a few days in the first month.

The New Year Festival is approaching, and Gu Yunhuan is too busy to take care of his sad thoughts for a while, and together with Li Xiaonuan, he will take care of the New Year's celebration in the house.

As soon as he entered the lunar month, Mr. Chen took Gu Xiao back to Shangli Town, and after a day's rest, Mr. Chen went back a few days early for the New Year.

When he came back from this trip, Gu Xiao saw that he had grown a lot taller, and he became cheerful, and happily talked to Li Xiaonuan about the famous teachers of Wansong Academy, the big and small literary meetings of the academy, and the new friends he made, Li Xiaonuan listened carefully, because his cheerfulness also became joyful with his mood.

On the morning of the second day of the first lunar month, the steward of the Jin family arrived at the ancient mansion and respectfully reported it, because he was with the child, Gu Yunshan did not dare to leave too early, and he could not rush to the ancient mansion in the afternoon.

The family waited eagerly, and no one had the heart to eat lunch seriously.

At the end of the afternoon, Gu Xiao couldn't sit still, stood up and said with a smile:

"I'll go to the dock at the back to meet my big sister, and it's time to arrive."

"What are you in a hurry, it will take most of the day to come from Taizhou, I'm afraid it will take a while, the wind is strong on the dock, you are waiting here, there are mothers-in-law waiting outside."

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stopped with a smile, and Mrs. Li also nodded with a smile, Gu Xiao was disappointed, and reluctantly sat down again, and within two quarters of an hour, he stood up again,

"It's almost now, I'll go to the dock to meet you."

Mrs. Li laughed, and without waiting for Mrs. Zhou to speak, she smiled and waved her hand,

"Go, go, put on that thick cloak and get a handhapp."

Gu Xiao's eyebrows were flying, and he hurriedly agreed, passed through his clothes, took over the hand stove, and Mrs. Li called two more mothers-in-law to follow, and ran along the bluestone road all the way to the back dock.

It wasn't until a long time later that the little girl hurried in, reporting with a smile on her face:

"The boat of the eldest lady, my aunt, and Miss Sun has arrived at the dock."

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly got up, took half a step, and hurriedly paused, turned around and pulled Gu Yunhuan, who had already stood up closely, and hurriedly bent his knees and said:

"Ancestor, madam, let's pick up the eldest sister too"

"Come back soon"

Old Madam Li laughed while waving to the two of them in disgust,

"Xiao Er will pick it up, it must be followed by their family of three, you two, where can you take it out like this?"

Li Xiaonuan paused in disappointment, Gu Yunhuan pouted and stomped her feet gently, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help laughing,

"But after a while, you can see people, how can you be in such a hurry? Hurry up and avoid the screen first."

As she spoke, Mrs. Zhou stood up, turned her head to look at Mrs. Li, and said respectfully:

"I'll take a look at the door."

Mrs. Li shook her head slightly, waved her hand with a smile in her eyes, and signaled Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou bent her knees with a smile, and walked out of the main house door in a hurry.

After a while, the courtyard became lively, Li Xiaonuan and Gu Yun hurriedly stuck in the gap of the screen, looking out.

Everyone surrounded Gu Yunshan and Jin Zhiyang into the main house, Mrs. Li sat on the couch with a smile on her face, the little girl had already placed the mat on the ground, Gu Yunshan turned around and took the inkstone from the nurse's arms, Jin Zhiyang subconsciously reached out and held Gu Yunshan, the two knelt on the mat together, and before they kowtowed, Mrs. Li had already raised her hand and hurriedly ordered:

"Lift it up"

Zhu Qing hurriedly stepped forward and helped Gu Yunshan up, Jin Zhiyang kowtowed to the end, then stood up, and officially greeted Mrs. Zhou before sitting on the armchair next to him.

Old Madam Li beckoned Gu Yunshan to sit on the edge of the couch, and reached out to take the inkstone that had just woken up in a daze.

Yan'er yawned, rubbed her eyes clumsily with her chubby little fist, Mrs. Li smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a line, and she couldn't help but kiss Yan'er's snow-white ** tender face, and said with a smile:

"Yunshan, Yan'er is even more beautiful than when you were a child, look at these eyes, how bright they are"

Mrs. Zhou leaned over, looked at Yan'er with a smile in her eyes, couldn't take her eyes off, Yan'er blinked her eyes twice, came to her senses, tilted her head to look at Mrs. Li, and after a moment's effort, her mouth was flattened, and her face was full of grievances, twisting her body left and right to find someone.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but stand up, sat sideways on the edge of the couch, and called Yan'er with a smile on her face:

"Yan'er, do you still recognize your grandmother?"

Yan'er's dark eyes stared at Mrs. Zhou for a while, and suddenly opened her fat hands and rushed towards Mrs. Zhou.
