Chapter 35: I Know My Man
"The gloves were sent out? How is it? Is it okay for your brother to wear it? ”
Gu Qiluo was watching the apricot blossoms do needlework, and when he saw the spring rain coming in from outside, he asked with a smile. But I didn't hear the little girl answer for a long time, so I looked up and saw Chunyu's contemplative face, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
"Spring rain."
Gu Qiluo shouted, and Chunyu came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Ah, girl...... Okay, my brother is good to wear, the size is also appropriate, there is rabbit fur inside, soft and warm, my brother likes it very much. Let the slave come back to thank Miss Xie and Sister Xinghua. ”
"What? Didn't you say that you and your brother only said that it was your needlework? You...... Why the hell did you rip me out? Xinghua was shocked, but saw Chunyu hurriedly shook her hand and said, "No, no, how dare I tell my sister?" I just said that it was the girl's idea, and then my sister taught me, so my brother asked me to come back and thank you both. ”
"I see, that's it." Xinghua breathed a sigh of relief, and wondered: "Yes, what did you think when you first entered the door?" The girl didn't hear you speak. ”
"Isn't it strange that the girl said it was strange? When I was waiting for my brother at the corner gate, I heard the mother-in-law who was guarding the door tell me that my uncle was coming, and I looked anxious, and asked her about the marriage between the girl and the Xiao Mansion. As a result, when I was talking to my brother, I saw that the uncle came out with a spring breeze on his face, and he was still humming a little song in his mouth. ”
Xinghua sneered: "What's so strange about this? It must have been a benefit from his wife. Although I haven't been in the house for a long time, I have long admired this uncle's name. Most of the people didn't say anything good about him, but his wife believed him, so everyone couldn't help it. This is true of many women in the house. As a housewife, if her mother's family is rich and rich, if her mother's family has relatives who need to be supported, she must save more furniture to help. ”
Chunyu said: "That's probably because I'm too worried, I didn't expect my sister to be at this level." I only heard what Mrs. Wang said, and I thought that my uncle was anxious because the object of Xiao Ergongzi's marriage was a girl, not a third girl. Then the spring breeze came out again. Did you get some news from your wife? The wife and the third girl can't go out, and if they have something to do, they can only find the manager. But the governor can only do things in the capital, and if it is far away, what will happen in this house? This uncle is different, he has been in business all year round. Tiannan Haibei runs. If the wife has any schemes, she can do the same with him. So I thought so, and told my brother to let him follow the uncle quietly and see what he was doing. ”
When she said this, Xinghua's face became solemn, and she nodded: "I didn't expect this, Chunyu, you did the right thing." At such a juncture, it is better to be cautious. Nor can it be taken lightly. ”
Gu Qiluo frowned and said, "This uncle, but is it the cousin of the wife?" ”
Xinghua said: "Exactly, the slave maid listened to what people said, that is, he came back from the border that day, and told the master that the appearance of Xiao Ergongzi was just ordinary, not as vicious as the rumors said, so the master made up his mind to marry the Xiao family." Now it seems that it is clearly nonsense, is the appearance of Xiao Ergongzi just ordinary? I don't know if the master has taken this detail to heart. ”
"If it's him, it's right to be careful." Gu Qiluo nodded heavily, then looked up at Chunyu and said, "It's just that I remember you said that your brother is going to work and eat, so wouldn't it delay him making money?" ”
Chunyu smiled: "What did the girl say? From the slave maid to you, the reward has been more than two taels now, and now what is it to let my brother help you run errands? If you don't work for a day or two, you won't starve to death, and when the slave and maid gave the gloves before, she gave her brother the silver she had saved for the past two months and the reward money given by the girl, which was enough for him to celebrate the New Year. ”
Gu Qiluo didn't speak, he lowered his head there and thought for a while, Fang said solemnly: "That's it, but your brother is just an ordinary person, where will he follow and monitor people?" If people find out, find someone to beat him again, but the gain outweighs the loss. ”
Chunyu said: "This girl doesn't have to worry. My brother has done all kinds of work over the years, and once upon a time he helped in a dart game, and those dart masters passed on some of his fists and feet. ”
"I'm relieved." Gu Qiluo finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chunyu: "It's the moon in two days, you go home, just say that I gave you leave, let you go back and help your brother clean up the house for the New Year, and come back in two days." Then you bring some money to your brother, and say that from now on, I will hire him, so that he will not have to do anything else, but help me keep an eye on the uncle, and every day I will find out who he sees and where he is going, and if there is anything suspicious, I will come to you and tell him. ”
As she spoke, she got up and came to the money box, took out a few pieces of broken silver from it, estimated that it was about a dozen taels, and handed it to Chunyu, and said, "Do you think these are enough?" If it's not enough, I'll make up for it. ”
Chunyu was stunned, and after a long time, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "What is this girl?" You don't need to give me any money, it's enough to have the slaves and maids you rewarded before, you want my brother to help watch over my uncle, I'll tell him that's it. ”
"Take it, girl, can I still lack silver? I really don't have any money, so I will go to Xiao Jiangbei again. Gu Qiluo couldn't help but say that he stuffed all the silver into Chunyu's hand, thought about it and said: "Tell your brother, if this errand is done well, I will have good work for him to do in the future, and he won't have to run around doing odd jobs." ”
Chunyu was still at a loss with the silver in his hand, and when he heard such words, he didn't know what to say. Suddenly, Xinghua smiled and said: "Okay, since the girl gives it to you, just take it, didn't you hear how reasonable Fang Cai's words were?" Now the girl has a backer. Our future uncle doesn't dare to say anything else, the silver is really nothing, so I won't talk about the merits, just say that those heads of silver, I'm afraid there won't be two or three thousand. ”
Gu Qiluo smiled: "That's what Xinghua said, so just take it for you, don't be polite to me." ”
During the spring rain period, Ai Ai said: "It's just a girl, in the final analysis, these are Xiao Ergongzi's money, he just took the initiative to give it to you, if he doesn't give it, do you still want to go with him?" Didn't that make him look down on the girl? No way. Let's save this money, which of the people in the house is easy to get along with? Slaves and maidservants don't want it. ”
"Don't worry, he said it, what is hiss is mine." Gu Qiluo sat on the couch, remembering the reason why Xiao Jiangbei said this, and couldn't help but smile smugly. The next moment, I heard Xinghua smile and said, "Look at the girl's proud appearance, it's really jealous." Xiao Ergongzi is just a kind word, you take it seriously? ”
"Phew! You know it very well, and you're still talking to me at this time. That's right, so what? There's no temptation between me and him, huh! My man, I know his temperament. ”
"This is what the girl said? Fortunately, it means that if others hear it in front of us, you must be smacked. Xinghua shook her head, but heard Gu Qiluo smile and said: "Nonsense, naturally I said this in front of you, and if I said this kind of thing in front of others, I was crazy?" ”
The master and servant said lively, Chunyu also went to the knot, received the silver into his purse, and just packed it, he heard someone outside the door: "Is the big sister there?" ”
"Huh? It's the voice of the third girl, it's really strange, what kind of wind is it today, it actually blew her over? ”
Xinghua muttered suspiciously, and when she got up to open the door, she saw Gu Jinxiu, Gu Sujun, Gu Lanxuan, and Gu Qingfeng all standing outside the door, so she smiled in surprise: "Huh? The three girls seem to be invited to the next post, how can they be so neat? ”
Gu Jinxiu said with a smile: "My fourth sister and I came to talk to the eldest sister, and we met the second sister and Qingfeng outside, so we came together." Big sister, it's going to be the moon in a few days, there is a New Year's fair in the capital, and the girls can also go shopping, I told my wife, and my wife agreed, and let us bring some New Year's goods back by the way. So we have to hurry, after the twentieth day of the lunar month, some good things will be out of stock. ”
Gu Qiluo looked at the third sister in a daze, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the sun for a while, Gu Lanxuan followed her gaze, but saw nothing, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is my sister looking at?" ”
"Oh, look which way the sun is coming out today." Gu Qiluo turned his head and said lightly. Gu Lanxuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and didn't hold back, so she laughed out loud, and Gu Qingfeng, who was beside her, raised her little face and asked, "Sister is really good at laughing, the sun naturally comes out from the east, can it come out from the west?" ”
Good boy, what a good guy.
Gu Qiluo admired in his heart, touched Gu Qingfeng's hair and smiled: "This is not necessarily, sometimes, the sun will hit the west, for example, when something very incredible happens, it will come out of the west." ”
"Really?"
Gu Qingfeng believed that it was true, stared at the big eyes and said excitedly: "Great, then next time I will secretly eat mutton for my aunt and see what the sun looks like when it comes out in the west." ”
"If you dare, beware of your aunt beating you. Big sister is joking with you, you can't tell the difference, stupid boy. "Aunt Zhuang doesn't eat mutton, everyone knows it, Gu Lanxuan was afraid that her younger brother would listen to Gu Qiluo's words, so she quickly snuffed out this kid's thoughts in the cradle.
Gu Jinxiu, who was left out in the cold, blushed and turned white for a while, according to her previous temperament, she turned around and left early at this time, where would she still talk here, especially the other party was Gu Qiluo, who she hated to the core.
just remembered his mother's words, in the end he suppressed this anger, not only that, but he also laughed and said: "Big sister, don't laugh, be careful Qingfeng takes your words seriously." My sister knows how much she offended her sister in the past, but now that I have eaten the bitter fruit, my sister has become the luckiest woman in the capital, why bother to worry about my past grievances with me? In the future, my sister will have to worry more about my affairs. (To be continued......)
