Chapter 54: A Sudden Invitation Came
Gu Dazhuang snorted twice, "And the incident of teasing Young Master He last time, although it was Sanniang's idea, Siniang's girl may not have been deceived, I think she deliberately wanted to trick Young Master He and then did it according to Sanniang's wishes."

Chen pursed her lips, Gu Dazhuang's idea went with her, Siniang is indeed an idea, just because she can figure out the method of sweetening persimmons at a young age is enough to shock her.
"I'd rather she'd be stupid than be too smart, because she's so easy to break. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for her. Chen thought for a moment and sighed.
"Okay, it's too early to think about these things, Siniang, I'll look at it very well. If you worry about her, she probably knows better than you do. Gu Dazhuang yawned as he spoke, "What time is this, let's rest early." ā
Chen couldn't help but shake his head after listening to Gu Dazhuang's words, "You have a big heart." ā
Having said that, the worry on her face subsided a lot, Gu Dazhuang had already laid down here, and after a while, she remembered the snoring, Chen was funny, this person just ate and slept well, as if nothing was a big deal.
Chen sat alone for a while, then lay down and slept.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the sun was shining and it was a sunny day.
The sun outside shone on the roof, and the snow began to melt the day before, and the snow water fell down the eaves and hit the bluestone slabs in the yard, making a ticking sound.
Gu Siniang was still the last to get up from the bed, she was in a good mood, Chen was feeding her, and while feeding her, she said that she was lazy and got up late.
Gu Siniang was honestly trained, basically going in and out of her left ear.
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Is anyone home?"
"In!" Chen heard the call for the door, the probe answered, straightened his dress, and then went out to open the door.
At first, the person was stunned, "Who is the girl looking for?" ā
The person who came was a young woman of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a half-worn green floral jacket, looking like a maid from a rich family, and when she saw Chen, she said, "I want to find Mrs. Gu." ā
Hearing her say this, Chen snorted and laughed, "My family's surname is indeed Gu is not fake. But there is no Mrs. Gu. Is the girl mistaken? ā
The young woman scratched her head when she heard this, and asked, "Your surname is Chen, and your husband's surname is Gu?" ā
"That's right." Chen nodded amusedly.
The little maid grinned, revealing two cute little tiger teeth, "That's it, the slave is looking for you." ā
Chen became more and more puzzled, and waved his hand again and again, "What Mrs. Gu, don't dare to do this." What are you looking for me? ā
The little maid saw that she was looking for the right one, and said with a smile, "That's the case, you picked up forty purses in the Splendid Workshop a few days ago, right?" ā
"How do you know?" Chen was stunned for a moment, feeling more and more strange.
"That purse is what my wife wants." The little maid clapped her hands.
Chen's face suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I haven't finished the purse yet, there are still the last ten, are you in a hurry, then I will step up the work in the past two days, and send it early the day after tomorrow at the latest." ā
The little maid hurriedly shook her head, "That purse is not in a hurry, you can do it last night according to the time." I'm here for something else. ā
"What's the matter with the girl?" Chen was a little puzzled.
"My wife likes your craftsmanship very much, Mrs. Gu, there will be a banquet at home in a few days, and the number of embroiderers in the house is not enough. So would you like to ask for a deigning trip? ā
"This ......" Chen was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient, dare to ask what your wife is called?" ā
"The slave's name is Xiaoju, and my wife is the wife of the county master, Lord Wu." The little maid finished speaking with a smile, but it startled Chen.
"What? Mrs. Wu? ā
Xiao Ju nodded, with a somewhat aggrieved look on her face, "Mrs. Gu, you will agree, my wife said, if the slave maid does not invite you, the slave maid will be deducted from a month's salary when he goes back." ā
Chen was frightened, and looked at Xiaoju a little nervous, and didn't dare to let her stay outside, so he hurriedly invited her into the house.
Xiao Ju didn't say anything, and followed in with a smile, Gu Siniang was eating in the house, and when she saw a stranger, she couldn't help but look curiously.
Xiao Ju also seemed to see her, and smiled at her, I have to say that Xiao Ju has a simple and innocent face, plus those two tiger teeth, and there is a sense of intimacy when she laughs.
"Who is this beautiful sister?" Gu Siniang looked at Chen's nervous look and couldn't help asking.
"Siniang, go back to the house and play." As the saying goes, the subordinates of the county master's family are also superior outside, and the Chen family was afraid that Gu Siniang would offend people by not being big or small, so they hurriedly drove her away.
Gu Siniang was wronged now, she didn't say anything wrong, why was she reprimanded.
Xiao Ju hurriedly smiled and said to Chen, "Your young lady is innocent, it's really cute." ā
"Miss Xiaoju, you have won the prize." Chen waved his hand again and again, and glanced at Gu Siniang.
Gu Siniang still wanted to listen to the gossip on the side, and when she saw what her mother meant, she had to say, "Then Siniang went back to the house first." ā
Chen asked Xiao Ju to sit down first, and went to the kitchen to boil water to make tea, Gu Dazhuang had a few sips of tea when he had nothing to do, so there was tea at home.
Naturally, Ma also heard that a strange woman had come to the house, so he rushed to the kitchen and asked, "Who is that?" ā
"Mother, you came just in time. The girl in the house was the maid of the county master's house. It was said that the county master's wife took a fancy to my craftsmanship and wanted me to go to the house to help for a few days. I wanted to refuse, but I was afraid of offending the county lady. Chan briefly recounted the matter.
Ma's brain turned faster than Chen's, she looked at the green-clothed woman sitting in the room, and turned her head to say that Chen's Mrs. D County can take a fancy to your craftsmanship, it is an honor for our family, you just go, how can you refuse? ā
"But ...... at home"
Before Chen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ma, "What can happen at home, isn't it with me, you just have to go, if you can make friends with the county princess and wife, it will be a great thing for our Gu family." ā
Ma was a little excited, Gu Sizhuang was going to take the Tongsheng exam after the New Year, if he could have the relationship with the county master, it would be no problem to be admitted to a show.
Chen didn't think about it so much, she was a little good, that is, she was more obedient, and when she heard Ma say this, she nodded, "Then I'll just respond." ā
Ma sighed in his heart, these daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law is the simplest and most obedient, she listens to everything she says. Fortunately, she is not a bad mother-in-law, otherwise such a soft character will definitely be bullied to death.
Xiao Ju waited in the house for a while, and Chen came back with tea, "There is no good tea at home, Miss Xiao Ju will drink some of it." ā
"Mrs. Gu, you are polite, the slave maid is just a little maid, so you can't entertain you like this." Xiao Ju could see that Chen was a simple person, and when she greeted her like this, she was immediately a little embarrassed.
