Chapter 45 The Thirteen Mothers of the Gu Family
In the evening, Lu Binrou finally felt a little better in her cold and painful lower abdomen, so she got ready to get up and go to her grandmother to say goodbye.
Ning Xiang was prepared as if she were facing a great enemy, the original thick jacket was not allowed to be worn, and she put on a small jacket again, and there was a cloak and a hand stove outside, and she couldn't wait to wrap her into a dumpling and go out.
Although Lu Binrou felt that it was only a few steps, there was no need to be so troublesome, but she couldn't resist the two highly nervous girls, so she had to wrap herself up obediently, and went out with the stove.
When she arrived at her grandmother's place, Ning Shuang personally brought two little girls over to tie the curtain for her, seeing that she was dressed so thickly, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly, Lu Binrou was suddenly a little embarrassed, Ning Shuang smiled: "The girl is well-behaved, I know that the old lady is thinking about you, this is the time." β
She turned her head and raised her voice slightly: "Old lady, the girl is here, her complexion is good, you can rest assured." β
Old Madam Wang's kind and smiling voice came: "Okay, my good granddaughter, come and let grandma check if she is dressed warmly enough." β
Lu Binrou didn't undress, so she walked in, and when she looked up, she found that in addition to her grandmother, her mother and aunt were all there, and there were two strange young girls sitting next to her. She was strange in her heart, and when she looked at it, it was actually the two she had seen during the day, and Gu Hui was together.
Gu Sanniang pulled the cousin beside her, stood up together, and said with a smile: "Sister Lu is here, I just heard the old lady say that my sister is not happy, and our sisters are still worried, so I said that I would go over and see my sister for a while, but I didn't expect my sister to come." The old lady has such a filial granddaughter as her sister, no wonder she has always been happy and kind like the old fairy in the temple. β
Mrs. Wang smiled: "Look at this girl's sweet mouth, it really makes people feel like eating honey when they hear it." I don't know how your Gu family is training their children, look at this one by one, they are all so beautiful and well-behaved, I have to come to your grandmother another day to ask for advice. β
Gu Sanniang said with a smile: "Old lady, what you say has to count, grandmother, her old man has been in the capital for a short time, and she is worried about her sister who has no confidant, if you go, she will be very happy." β
Old Madam Wang patted her shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "Just for your girl's clever mouth, I also have to go to the old lady of the Gu family to ask for advice." Come on, come on, Rourou come and get to know, this is the thirteenth mother of Bachelor Gu's family, the same age as Binran, this is her cousin, Huang Siniang, who is as old as you. You're all young girls, and it's time to move around more in the future. β
As soon as Lu Binrou entered the house, she paid attention to the expressions of the elders in the house, her mother and sister-in-law were always dignified, with a decent and gentle smile on her face, and her aunt's expression was a little weird, although she was also smiling, but Lu Binrou, who was familiar with her, could still see that there was a little indescribable ridicule in the corners of her eyebrows.
That is, the grandmother smiled sincerely, Lu Binrou knew that her grandmother liked children, except for the very annoying ones, she was very tolerant, so under normal circumstances, she could not refer to her grandmother's opinion.
In short, these two people are not very popular visitors, Lu Binrou secretly came to this conclusion.
She smiled and said, "Grandmother, you don't know yet, in fact, we met in the afternoon, granddaughter took Mu Mu and Duoduo out to play, and met Gu Gongzi and two girls on the way, Gu Gongzi has already introduced us to us." β
Gu Sanniang nodded and said, "Yes, old lady, the eldest brother took us to the residence in the afternoon, and met Sister Lu and the two little sons on the way, and the eldest brother introduced us to it." β
Huang Siniang also nodded beside her, she was born better than Gu Sanniang, Thirteen Niang may be short because she is still young, and she still has baby fat on her face, plus big eyes and a sweet smile, she looks like a little girl who doesn't know the world.
And Huang Siniang is tall and tall, and she has begun to show the slender appearance of a girl, with a standard melon seed face, big eyes that are bright and bright, and her skin is as white as fine porcelain. But for some reason, Lu Binrou always felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her expression.
Old Madam Wang learned that they had already met, so she didn't say anything more, a few people sat down again, Lu Binrou greeted the elders, everyone asked about her physical condition, and the topic turned to her.
Gu Sanniang said, someone in the family has seen Lu Binrou, and when she comes back, she praises her for being beautiful and gentle, extremely dignified, she has long wanted to meet the sister of the Lu family, and when she saw it today, it was really in vain that she missed her for so long.
After speaking, he blinked a pair of big watery eyes and looked at her with great admiration.
Lu Binrou was a little embarrassed by her, and she didn't know how to pick it up, so she just smiled and didn't speak.
Gu Shisan lowered his head slightly, and then smiled sweetly again, and didn't say this anymore, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional between his words, and always mentioned his eldest brother.
After chatting for a while, Gu Sanniang and Huang Siniang were about to leave. Lu Binrou's mother, Mrs. Xie, sent a message to arrange for the guards to escort the two girls back, Gu Shisanniang smiled and said No, his eldest brother was already waiting outside the hospital, so he just sent them back.
So naturally, the elders said that he was not an outsider and should be invited to come in and sit down, and even the aunt, who had always had a strange face, was happy. Lu Binrou felt that it was inappropriate, but the elders didn't mention it, so she had to shut up and sit aside with her eyebrows lowered.
Fortunately, Gu Hui also knew each other well, he came in to say goodbye, and without saying a few words, he left and left.
Lu Binrou waited for them to leave, and opened her mouth to complain: "Grandmother, aunt, aunt, mother, why do you want to be so affectionate to Gu Hui...... It's usually just that, but the two girls from the Gu family are still there today, and they are soft...... After all, we have to avoid suspicion. β
The aunt who was sitting closest to her smiled and patted her head and said, "The little girl is shy? β
Lu Binrou pursed her mouth, and the mother next to her spoke: "Rourou, we deliberately did it for those two girls today." β
Lu Binrou's eyes widened in surprise, and Mrs. Xie frowned: "Manners!" β
Lu Binrou calmed down her expression aggrievedly, and her aunt said coldly: "That girl from the Gu family is a little ghost...... This is a test of our family's attitude. β
Xie Shi snorted coldly and said, "Is it true that our Gu family is a fool and is being played by her little girl?" The family also went back to mention Rourou, in addition to Gu Hui and his parents, who else in the Gu family has seen my Lu family girl? Since Rourou returned to Beijing, except for the plum banquet in the palace, she has hardly appeared in public, and no one from the Gu family has attended that banquet. The little girl really doesn't know the sky...... It's just that I don't know if it's because she's smart or if she cares about her family. β
The aunt shook her head and said: "My cousin is a smart Bing Xue, I had such a big misunderstanding with my second sister-in-law last time, and now the rourou marriage is in such a form, although marrying the Lu family will definitely have more advantages than disadvantages for them, but I must know that it is not appropriate for the Gu family to come forward in this form now, so it is definitely not what Gu Hui's parents meant." But Master Gu's mansion is ...... That's not a good idea. β
Xie said: "Master Gu is an upright person, but as far as I can see after returning to Beijing, his wife is a little confused, maybe she instructed her little daughter." β
Old Madam Wang sighed: "Our family has to be so active in this matter, just thinking that the responsibility will be put on our side, if there is really something in the future, it will be the Lu family's business, and the emperor's blame cannot be counted on his Gu family." It's good that the Gu family pretends to be deaf and dumb, if they come a few more times like today, the Gu family can't shirk their responsibilities if they want to. β
She paused, and said with a smile: "Although the girl of the Gu family is not as clever as Hui'er, she is also clever and sweet-mouthed, third daughter-in-law, don't have such an opinion on the two little girls of the family." β
Qi pouted and said: "Mother, don't you really say that she, little girl, either she is really smart and can't make mistakes, or she is like our family, innocent and sincere, and also loved, like her kind of half-hanging, she has many eyes and pretends to be naΓ―ve, and her daughter-in-law really can't look down on her." β
Xie Shi also said on the side: "And the Huang Siniang next to her, every time Gu Thirteen mentions Gu Hui, you see that Huang Siniang's expression." From her seat, I could see from the girl's eyes that she was indefinite, and she was not generous in her speech, how could Mrs. Gu let her daughter mix with such a person. β
Qi said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, you don't know, this Huang Siniang is a little famous among the young girls in the capital." β
Xie Shi was surprised: "What? That girl is actually famous? β
Qi pursed his lips and smiled: "Although Huang Siniang is a little bad in etiquette, she looks good, and it is said that she has a bit of talent. It is said that there are many teenagers who love her. β
Xie Shi also smiled, shook his head and sighed, and Qi Shi then explained: "Huang Siniang is the only daughter of Mrs. Gu's sister-in-law, Huang Siniang's father is just a petty official who is not in the stream, her mother is worried that her daughter will not find a good in-law's family, and begged her sister to send her daughter to Gu's house. Mrs. Gu kissed her no worse than her own daughter, and I heard that all the applications were compared to Thirteen Niang. In this form, Huang Siniang was inevitably used to being frivolous. Besides......"
Qi blinked, "Do you think that someone like Gu Thirteen Niang has more eyes than a honeycomb, can he allow his already beautiful cousin to cross him?" It is difficult to ensure that some of Huang Siniang's unflattering characteristics were not induced by her. β
Lu Binrou began to be embarrassed to interject because the matter they discussed involved herself, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but say, "How old is Gu Sanniang?" Isn't it as big as a sapling, how can such a young child have such a powerful mind? β
So she received the collective white eyes of the elders in the family, and her mother, Mrs. Xie, looked at her sister-in-law and mother-in-law, and said leisurely: "Understand, right?" Why did my stupid daughter make me so sad that all my gray hair came out? Where to marry this, I can rest assured! β
Lu Binrou's face turned red, and she argued weakly: "Actually, I understand, it's just ...... She's still so young, I don't think she's going to be so dark......"
