"Speaking of which, it's not ours." The mother's face was flushed and she was very uneasy: "It is said that we should have gone to greet the old lady when we came back yesterday, but we just came back yesterday and had a lot of things on our hands, so we couldn't pass." I was going to go to the long room after greeting the old lady this morning, but I didn't expect it...... There was something in the old lady's yard, and it was delayed again. ”

The mother paused, and her expression calmed down a lot: "But no matter what, it's our fault." Let the old lady wait for us yesterday in vain, and let you run in person. Later, I will personally apologize to the old lady. We didn't have any arrangements for tonight, so I bothered the old lady and asked my grandmother to help me express my gratitude in front of the old lady. ”

Gu Chongyang looked almost invisible and nodded.

Mrs. Cui of Changfang is a reasonable person, and her reputation was so bad in her previous life, Mrs. Cui of Changfang is willing to help her in times of adversity. Today, my mother apologized so sincerely, and Mrs. Cui of Changfang would definitely not blame her.

Sure enough, Mama Ding said: "The fourth lady doesn't have to worry, the old lady is not angry, otherwise she wouldn't let me go on this trip." I'll go back, the old lady is not far away. ”

"Then I won't be worthy of you." Mother stood up and personally sent Mama Ding to the door.

asked Mama Wu to send Mama Ding out of the house, and then turned around and returned to the house.

The mother took Gu Chongyang's hand and said to her, "Nannan, let's go to the old lady of the long house in the afternoon to say goodbye." The old lady's maiden family, Shandong Cui, is a family of poetry and books, and the old lady is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is also a famous talented woman when she is young. It's the mother's rudeness first, and when we go, you must not be naughty. You want to talk to the old lady well, you know? ”

"Hmm." Gu Chongyang nodded heavily: "Mother, you can rest assured." I'm not a child anymore, I'll say hello to the old lady. ”

"That's good!" Mother touched Gu Chongyang's head: "Go take a nap, when you wake up, we'll clean up and go over." Remember to let the pothos dress you up nicely. Although there is no separation, after all, it is two heads, and it must not be rude again. ”

"Then I'll pick a set of comb grates and take them with me, I remember that the lobby sister is the same as the big sister, and they all like to write poems, so I'll send that set of spring flowers, autumn moon, summer wind, winter and snow, and four seasons of scenery patterns." Gu Chongyang said: "I think the lobby sister will definitely like it." There is also a sister-in-law in the lobby, I'll send that set of zodiac signs. ”

"Yes." The mother smiled: "You are really getting more and more sensible." If you don't remind you, your mother will forget. Since you sent something to your lobby sister and sister-in-law, then I will send it to the others. ”

After the mother and daughter discussed, they went back to their rooms to rest.

After the lunch break, Lu Wu really dressed up Gu Chongyang.

My mother also dressed up a little bit.

She wore a pink-purple stand-up collar gown embroidered with grape patterns, and a horse-faced skirt embroidered with red flowers and birds.

The green silk was pulled up and combed into a folded round bun, revealing a smooth forehead, which made her mother's skin fairer and her appearance better.

The hairpin with a double-bit chicken heart pendant on the bun is a small silver phoenix hairpin, swaying with the mother's movement, making the mother's originally soft apricot eyes and nose, and the willow leaves bend the eyebrows more and more exciting.

At this time, the mother swept away the hard work of the journey, which was eye-catching.

Gu Chongyang has a good skin, and she also knows that she is indeed good-looking.

But at this moment, when she looked at her mother, she felt that her mother was much better looking than her.

She couldn't help muttering, "Mother, you are so beautiful. ”

Gu Chongyang's stunned appearance pleased her mother, she stepped forward and took Gu Chongyang's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, let's go quickly." ”

The father also smiled dumbly: "This child, how is he stupid." ”

The group went out of the courtyard and came to the long house.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate of the long house, Gu Chongyang asked about a strong smell of medicine.

Gu Chongyang frowned, carefully identifying the medicinal materials in it, angelica, tangerine peel, skullcap, ginseng......

This is the taste of ginseng nourishing soup. Although there are additions and subtractions, Gu Chongyang can be sure that the original recipe is ginseng Yangrong soup.

In Xirong Courtyard, where Mrs. Cui lived, a little maid named Huang Ying with a double bun led them.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help the maid who led the way: "Is the old lady unwell?" ”

"The old lady is healthy and strong, and there is no discomfort." Huang Ying smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples: "This is the medicine for the eldest young master." ”

Seeing Gu Chongyang's face showing a puzzled look, Huang Ying said again: "It's not the eldest young master, but the eldest young master." ”

When Gu Chongyang heard this, he suddenly realized.

The eldest young master in Huang Ying's mouth is the eldest grandson of Changfang-Gu Weirui.

I didn't expect him to be alive.

After Mrs. Cui of Changfang married the old lady of Changfang, just three months later, the old lady of Changfang passed away. The title was passed to the old lady in the second room.

Two months later, Mrs. Cui found herself unwell and asked a doctor to come and find out that she was four months pregnant.

Mrs. Cui gave birth to her husband's widow, the late eldest man Gu Zhanying of the long house. In order to distinguish himself from Gu Zhanpeng, the eldest man in the second room, he is known as the eldest master of Ying.

Master Ying's health is not very good. He has a son and a daughter under his knees, his son Gu Weirui and his daughter Gu Chongfang.

Master Ying died five years ago.

Mrs. Cui has experienced the pain of losing her husband and her son, so she loves her grandchildren very much.

Although she loves her, she doesn't spoil her, and Gu Weirui and Gu Chongfang are both well educated by her.

In the previous life, Gu Chongyang only had Gu Chongfang, the lobby sister, in her memory, and she had no impression of Gu Weirui, the lobby brother. She only knew that this lobby brother died of illness within two years of getting married, leaving the lobby sister-in-law alone. Later, the sister-in-law inherited an heir from the Gu family.

She didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Gu family in her previous life, so she didn't know the specific time of Brother Lobby's death. But now that the sister-in-law in the lobby has entered the door, I'm afraid it's been the last year or two.

Could it be that Brother Lobby is already sick now? This ginseng Yangrong soup is mainly used to treat spleen and lung qi deficiency, and to replenish qi and blood. If the symptoms are correct, it is estimated that Brother Lobby will be cured soon.

It's scary, I'm afraid it's wrong.

Gu Chongyang thought of the cold appearance of the sister-in-law in the lobby of the previous life, and he was faintly worried.

Gu Chongyang smiled at Huang Ying: "When did Brother Lobby get sick?" How long have you been taking this medicine? ”

"I don't know." Huang Ying shook her head and thought for a while: "It seems that it has been a long time, and the young master Rui is often sick, so this medicine has not been broken." ”

"Your brother is not in good health, and he has been like this since he was three or four years old." The mother glanced at Gu Chongyang, and faintly admonished: "I don't know how much effort it took to ask the medicine for delay, but it has been intermittently good and bad, and I don't see any good results." There is always an old lady to worry about this matter, what are you doing when your children ask so much. ”

Gu Chongyang could feel that his mother was a little unhappy.

There is nothing wrong with caring about Brother Rui, and my mother never means that she doesn't care about Brother Rui.

The mother said other things to Huang Ying, which was nothing more than asking the old lady if she was in good health and if there was anything going on at home.

Seeing that his mother deliberately diverted the topic, Gu Chongyang vaguely understood that his mother didn't seem to want to ask about medical skills.

She remembered that she was in Botou Town before, and she said that she would be a doctor and practice medicine in the future, and her mother severely reprimanded her, and a trace of regret flashed in her heart.

This regret can only be passed in a flash, because when he arrived at the old lady's Xirong Courtyard, Gu Chongyang hurriedly cheered up.

Mama Ding got the news in advance, and waited at the door in person, and when she saw them coming, she greeted them with a smile: "The old lady has just gotten up, but it just so happens that the fourth master and the fourth lady are here." The eldest lady and eldest lady are also there. ”

As she spoke, the maid lifted the soft curtain with a stone blue treasure pattern, and the group walked in.

Because of the widowhood, Mrs. Cui's house is very low-key. There are not so many colorful things to embellish, but the red sandalwood furniture still shows the heritage of the Hou Mansion.

No, it should be the heritage of the famous family. These furniture items are the dowry of Mrs. Cui, her maiden family is a family of poets and scholars in Shandong, and there are many officials in the court.

"It's back. It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and you have been there for three years, but you have grown a lot. ”

Old Madam Cui sat on the upper seat and watched with a smile as Gu Chongyang kowtowed to her with her father and mother.

Father and mother stood up, and both of them had a look of shame on their faces: "Where is there any growth, even such a thing as greeting you has been delayed, I am really guilty." ”

"Okay, aren't you guys coming? Who can be right all the time and everywhere. Mrs. Cui waved her hand and said, "I'm not the kind of person who won't spare people if I catch a mistake, let's expose the past." If you say it again, I'll be angry, my wife. ”

Mrs. Cui wore a sandalwood treasure pattern placket and a dark green skirt. The whole body is clean and clean, except for the plain silver hairpin inserted on the head, there are no other accessories.

There are no luxurious clothes, but the refreshing atmosphere and strong atmosphere between the gestures are coming.

When Gu Chongyang saw her like this, he admired it in his heart. Now it is Mrs. Ge who is in charge, but who doesn't give a thumbs up when it comes to Mrs. Cui up and down the Gu family?

When a person lives to this age, he should live like Mrs. Cui with insight but open-mindedness.

Mrs. Cui's subordinate sat on the wife of Master Ying, Wu, in order to distinguish her from Mrs. Hao, the Marquis of Qingyang, people in the house often called her Mrs. Yingda.

Next to her stood a girl in a goose-yellow skirt, with a good appearance and slightly plump skin.

After receiving the signal from Mrs. Cui, she hurriedly came over and saluted her father and mother.

Gu Chongyang recognized that this was the lobby sister Gu Chongfang.

Because there was no man in the long room, although Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Ying were close relatives, they were also different from men and women, and my father showed up and went to the study in the outer courtyard.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed and casual than before.
