The first day of the winter month is Gu Mingyang's forty-fifth birthday. There are not too many subordinates in the Gu Mansion, so she has been busy preparing for her birthday since two days ago, no matter how vicious Mrs. Lu is, the housekeeper is indeed a good hand, and by the night before, all parts of the mansion were ready.
Because early in the morning of this day, Gu Qiluo got up to freshen up and dress neatly, so she wore the Yingluo given by Master Gu, went to the upper room to celebrate her father's birthday, and sent a congratulatory gift prepared by herself by the way.
happened to meet Gu Jinxiu at the door, although the sisters didn't like each other in their hearts, they still greeted each other kindly, and then entered the door together.
When he entered the door, he saw a young man about twelve or thirteen years old sitting under his father's head, and Gu Qiluo was wondering who this young man was? Seeing Gu Jinxiu running forward and calling "brother" affectionately, she remembered that the eldest young master of Gu Fuzhong was studying in Guozijian, and she hadn't seen it yet.
So they hurriedly stepped forward to see each other, Gu Qingyun had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his speech was very warm and beautiful, and after saluting, he said apologetically: "I should have come back to see my grandmother and sister a long time ago, but because of the strict rules of the country, I took a day off before, and I didn't come back because something happened, so today's father's birthday, I specially asked for leave to rush back, and then I saw my sister, my sister and grandmother are used to living in this house?" ”
Gu Qiluo said with a smile: "It's very good, since my younger brother is in the country, he should study hard, and my sister and brother will meet in the future, but they are not in a hurry." ”
Gu Mingyang said with a smile from the seat: "Yun'er only arrived home yesterday evening, I thought that the old lady was not very comfortable in the past two days, and even the morning and dusk provinces were exempted, so I didn't ask him to come over to disturb, and then let him go with you to say goodbye to the old lady." ”
Then Aunt Zhuang and Gu Lanxuan sisters and brothers also arrived, seeing that the children were all here, Master Gu sat in the first place, watched the six children salute, and gave various gifts, he couldn't help but be very pleased, because he sighed to Mrs. Lu: "The joy of family, I want to work outside, you are at home, why do you come?" Isn't it just for the immediate situation? ”
Mrs. Lu smiled: "What the master said is true. Why don't you take a look at the congratulatory gifts given by the children? I don't know how much effort their sisters put into it, I heard that the three girls and the four girls were busy until late at night for several days in a row for this. ”
Gu Lanxuan's heart moved slightly, and she glanced at Gu Qiluo, she knew that her wife only mentioned the two younger sisters, because she was dissatisfied with the proximity between herself and Gu Qiluo, but these two girls were also quite angry, and they were not as cowardly as their mothers, so although they knew the meaning of Mrs. Lu's beating, they didn't take it to heart. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, these two girls just talked to Gu Qiluo a few times, and the backbones that have been suppressed by death have come to the fore.
Gu Qingyun wrote a picture to celebrate his father's birthday, Gu Qiluo nodded on the side, Gu Mingyang was also proud, and even praised his son's progress. Then Gu Qingfeng sent a painting, which showed a birthday star Weng holding Shou Tao, but a five or six-year-old child, what kind of picture can he draw? Gu Jinxiu glanced at it, then laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "What is this painting?" How did the old man of the birthday star draw like a white steamed bun? ”
Aunt Zhuang and Gu Lanxuan's faces immediately became a little unsightly, and they suddenly heard Gu Qiluo laugh and said, "It's good that a child as big as Qingfeng can be drawn like this." Shou Xinggong's brain is bright and bright, isn't it like a steamed bun? Could it be that a five-year-old child's painting should go to see what kind of layout and brushwork he has, and ask him to have both form and spirit? It's just to see an interest and accept his filial piety, Daddy said yes? ”
"That's right, Kira is so right."
Master Gu glanced at his eldest daughter approvingly, stretched out his hand to touch Gu Qingfeng's little head, and said softly: "Since my son likes to paint, my father will give you a few good paintbrushes another day, and then invite a gentleman who can draw for you. ”
The uneasiness and shame on Gu Qingfeng's little face disappeared all of a sudden, and he agreed excitedly. Here Gu Qiluo couldn't help but glance at Gu Mingyang, and it was hard to hide the shock in his eyes. Suddenly, Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "Master too, painting is just the last skill, seeing you so solemn, even Qiluo can't look past it." ”
"Huh? Does Kira think that being a father is too arrogant for your little brother? Gu Mingyang laughed, turned around and looked at his eldest daughter and asked jokingly.
This vicious woman. Gu Qiluo secretly scolded in his heart, but a smile like a spring breeze bloomed on his face, and he shook his head and said: "Mrs. is wrong, my daughter is a little shocked, but she definitely disagrees with her father." When her daughter was in Hangzhou, she heard more than once that her son was forced to study by his parents, and finally almost became demented. The daughter really didn't expect her father to be so open-minded, the so-called teaching according to aptitude, but that's it. Although painting is the last skill, it may not be impossible to promising, the famous minister Fan of the first emperor, didn't he also get attached to the first emperor because of painting that day, and since then he has been on the rise? Therefore, the daughter sighed a little, like her father, who is the real care and love for her children, how fortunate I am to be born as your daughter? ”
"Hahaha, you kid, my father always thought that you were a little taciturn, and I was still worried, but I didn't expect you to say good things, and even flowers could let you talk about them." Gu Mingyang stroked his beard and laughed, and Mrs. Lu glanced at Gu Qiluo on the side, her brows furrowed slightly.
was praised by Mrs. Lu and said that the gift of Gu Jinxiu and Gu Suxuan, who had stayed up late for several nights in a row, was a purse and an embroidery, which could be seen to be thoughtful, and it was also very exquisite, but it was also an ordinary thing. Gu Mingyang also praised a few words. However, the birthday gift of the second daughter Gu Lanxuan was a hand-embroidered belt, Gu Mingyang liked it very much, and handed it to Mrs. Lu and said, "Help me keep it, Ming'er will use it when she goes out." ”
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Qiluo, this was the first time Gu Qiluo congratulated her father on his birthday, and everyone was a little curious about what kind of gift she would give, but after thinking about it, it was just those things, so where could it be surprising?
Just thinking about it, he saw that Gu Mingyang had already opened the box, took out two rectangular mats, looked at it suspiciously for a while, and then looked at Gu Qiluo and said, "Qiluo, this is ...... What is this? If it's a chair cushion, it doesn't seem to be big enough, so it can't be a mat, right? ”
My dad has a good sense of humor. Gu Qiluo secretly vomited in his heart, and then said with a smile: "A few days ago, I heard the second sister say that my father went out before the fifth watch every day, and every time after winter, he would suffer from leg pain. The daughter thought that her father would kneel three times and knock nine times in the court, and tie this to her knees to protect her knees. ”
This knee pad has been used up in various time travel novels, but it is indeed very useful for people like Gu Mingyang, at the moment, Master Gu's eyes couldn't help but light up, he gently stroked the knee pad twice, raised his head and smiled at Mrs. Lu: "It's really hard for her to think of it?" This child is really careful, her sister's words, she actually took it to heart. ”
Mrs. Lu and her husband have been husband and wife for more than ten years, just looking at his eyes, she knew that Gu Qiluo's gift was really sent to her husband's heart, and the congratulatory gift that her daughter had worked so hard to prepare was immediately overshadowed in front of such a gift. She hated it in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Yes, the eldest girl is really thoughtful, she can come up with such a thing, but there is only one, is this feasible?" Don't be known, say that the lord is disrespectful. ”
"What's so disrespectful about that?" Gu Mingyang shook his head and smiled: "Don't you see those bosses, I can't wait to put on several pairs of cotton pants on my body, sometimes the official uniforms are deformed, and the emperor also knows that the bosses work hard in the dynasty and never theorize." I'm just tying a knee protector now, this thing is not very thick, there is an official uniform to cover it, I can't see it, it's much stronger than those bosses, and I can protect my knees, it seems that I don't have to suffer a big sin on these legs this year. ”
Mrs. Lu heard her husband say this, but she was helpless, so she had to say a few words of praise, and then everyone went to see Mrs. Zhou together, and the family had breakfast at the old lady's place, seeing that it was still early, Gu Mingyang said to the children: "You all go back to the room, the guests are still early." ”
So Gu Qingyun, Gu Qingfeng, the brothers and the girls retired and left together, and here Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "I'll go to the kitchen to see the prepared ingredients, I'd rather be richer than short, otherwise wouldn't the guests laugh." ”
"Okay, hard work ma'am."
Gu Mingyang watched his wife go out, then turned around and talked to his mother about some homely gossip, and when he heard the old lady ask about Gu Qiluo's marriage, he smiled and said, "Mother don't worry, how can I harm my daughter?" Don't pay attention to those rumors in the capital. By the way, I heard General Xiao say that Jiangbei has returned from the border pass, and I think he should come to the door today, and I will see him in person at that time, and I will come back to tell my mother, so you can rest assured. ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded, glared at her son, and said coldly: "If that Xiao family is really as bad as the rumors say, I don't care if your old face can't get by, and you have to give me back this family business." ”
Gu Mingyang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but seeing his mother's stern and angry face, he swallowed his words and nodded in agreement.
Let's say that Gu Qiluo waited for him to go out, Gu Lanxuan smiled and said: "Anyway, it's okay, I'll go and sit at the big sister's place, the big sister won't bother me, right?" ”
"How so? I'm also looking forward to someone to talk to. Gu Qiluo smiled slightly, but heard Gu Jinxiu next to him also smile and said: "That is the case, then my fourth sister and I will also go over and sit for a while, will you come to Qingfeng?" ”
Gu Qingfeng was just about to agree, but he heard Gu Qingyun beside him say: "No need, I'll take Qingfeng to the study and see what he wrote." ”
