She instructed: "Steward Liu, go and call Xiaoyue and Xiaosheng to my room, I have something to tell them." Steward Liu sighed and hurriedly ran to call someone.

"Xiu Yuan has worked hard, you should also be busy."

"Miss, the old slave still has something to tell you!"

"What?" Guo Jia asked.

Xiu Yuan lowered her voice and whispered to her, "Miss, as far as I know, these are just a part of Madame's dowry!" At that time, the lady divided the property into three parts and put them in three different places. Madame trusted me and sued me for one of them, but the other two, and the old slave didn't know where it was! ”

Guo Jia was curious: "What are the other two?" ”

Xiu Yuan lowered her voice to the lowest and said mysteriously: "I heard that when Mrs. Xu got married, Mrs. Xu gave Mrs. eight night pearls as a dowry!" It's just that no one in our house has seen it, and I don't know if this thing is true or not! The old slave guessed that these eight night pearls might be stored in two places! Maybe the lord knows! ”

After Guo Jia listened, he lowered his head thoughtfully.

When Guo Jia returned to the room, Guo Yue and Guo Sheng were already waiting for her in the room.

Guo Yue asked with concern: "Sister, you hurriedly came to us, did something happen at home?" ”

Guo Jia put up Sister A's shelf and said, "You sit down, Sister A's has something to tell you." She told today's events again, but she was afraid that the child would impulsively run to Guo Jingzhi to make trouble, so she only said that she had found a property left by her mother, and the matter of the night pearl was naturally hidden.

Guo Jia looked at Guo Yue and said, "So, after the end of this year, Sister will send you to the Egret Academy in Xishan." You're not too small, I'm afraid it's not good to delay it any longer. ”

Guo Yue's eyes were red, "Sister, I ・・・・・・" didn't finish a sentence, turned his back and wiped his tears.

"Don't cry, boys don't flick if they have tears!" Guo Jia scolded softly.

"Who said I cried!" Guo Yue looked back, "I didn't sleep well last night・・・・・・ but Sister, my little brother really doesn't want to go!" If the younger brother is gone, who will take care of your father, and who will help you share your worries? As soon as the words fell, his eyes couldn't help but turn red twice. Guo Yue raised his head and held back his tears.

At this time, Guo Sheng patted his brother's hand and comforted: "Brother, don't worry, you can go to study with peace of mind, Xiaosheng has grown up, Xiaosheng will help the eldest sister share the burden!" ”

Guo Jia stroked Guo Sheng's hair, feeling very comforted.

Guo Sheng suddenly stopped talking in embarrassment.

Guo Jia asked, "What does Xiaosheng want to say?" ”

Guo Sheng's face flushed: "I heard Xiu Yuan say that Sister ・・・・・・ is sixteen this year, and it stands to reason that she should have a mother-in-law・・・・・・

Guo Jia's face was hot, but his mouth scolded: "Child! What do you listen to Xiu Yu talking nonsense! Be careful that my sister deducts your money for the next month! Guo Sheng stuck out his tongue.

Dull days go by quickly.

Since Guo Yue learned that he could go to the academy, his spirits were greatly lifted, and he locked himself in the house to read after serving Guo Wangzhi, who was sick in bed on weekdays. Guo Jia wanted to invite a gentleman to come over, but Guo Yue refused to agree.

Guo Sheng likes embroidery, and under the guidance of Xiuyuan, there was a trend of developing towards the ladies who did not go out of the door. She originally liked embroidery, but Xiu Yuan's level was limited, and what she could teach was limited. However, Guo Shengxu has a talent in this area, and he has figured out a lot of new tricks. Wen Xin accidentally saw Guo Yue embroidering, and blurted out when he saw a bad place, everyone knew that Wen Xin was from Suzhou, and Su embroidery kung fu was really not shallow! Guo Yue pestered Wenxin as if he had picked up a treasure, and learned embroidery wholeheartedly. Wenxin doesn't hide it, he teaches whatever he has, and his family skills are also taught.

Guo Jia wore a red dress and walked around the streets and alleys in a few days.

Wen Yuan watched them go out every day, and he really didn't understand what there was to go on the street when he had no money on him. But he didn't have the guts to ask that!

The two who were tired of shopping sat in the teahouse and drank tea.

"Test you," Guo Jia suddenly spoke, "I've been shopping around for the past few days, what do you think?" ”

Hongshang took a sip of tea, wiped her mouth heroically and said, "If Miss wants me to say it, then I'll just say it." But as far as Buzhuang is concerned, the two businesses in the west of the city are significantly better than the three in the south of the city. As for the one in the west of the city, Hongshang thought that there was no need to continue to open it; Speaking of the restaurant, the business of 'Twenty-four Bridges' is booming, but it always makes me feel uncomfortable; Also, the gold shop on Xisi Street, does the eldest lady want to make jewelry? Why don't you buy it when you go in? ”

Guo Jia secretly praised in her heart: This little girl is really smart! She asked, "I'll let you share your thoughts, why do you just pick out these answers?" ”

Hongshang said with a smile: "Miss has visited so many places, but she has stayed in these places for the longest time, the slave and maid guessed, the eldest lady should not be so simple as just shopping, right?" Should I ・・・・・・ invest in a shop? Miss, am I right? ”

"Not exactly." Guo Jia smiled, "You're so smart, I'll reward you with a plate of snacks." Little two-"

"Childe! Come out with me! ”

Guo Jia's soft shout alarmed a family member drinking tea in the corner.

That family Ding looked fixedly, Mom, isn't this Miss Guo Fu! No, you have to go and sue Sù Childe quickly!

He Tong'an, the eldest son of He Mansion, was drinking and playing with the three or five gentlemen in the private room on the second floor, and his interest was suddenly interrupted by this shout, and he was very unhappy. "Ate your dog gall? If you have something to say, if you disturb the interest of the master, you will not be spared when you go back! ”

When the family saw the noble son in the room, he couldn't speak: "Childe, you go out・・・・・・ the little one goes out and talks to you!" ”

"Yo, Tong An, your little guy is not small!" A son grinned and said sarcastically, which instantly caused all friends to laugh.

He Tongan felt embarrassed, pointed to the floor and said, "Say it here!" Otherwise, you will be fined for three months! ”

The family thought of the son's face, weighed it in his heart, and felt that it was still important to have three months' money!

"Miss Guo is outside!"

"Where?" He Tongan didn't care about tidying up his appearance, so he rushed out like the wind!

"Oh, Childe, look!" The little guy who chased out pointed to Guo Jia, who was talking and laughing, and said.

He Tong stared intently at the woman downstairs, her blood all over her body seemed to be suddenly drained, and her face was pale and weak. This was the first time he had seen her face, and it was even more amazing than the first time!

I saw that her face was like a peach blossom, her small nose was dotted with cherry mouths, her smile was natural, and her gestures were elegant and decent.

This person should have been his fiancée!

He Tongan suddenly began to hate his mother, if it weren't for her self-righteous persecution that she could make her submit, how could Miss Guo tear up the marriage contract heartbroken?

At this time, friends also chased out to see the excitement.

A boy named Qian Fu was so shocked that he immediately slipped off the fan when he saw Guo Jia, and he praised: "Tut-tut, I didn't expect Miss Guo to be such a stunning person!" It's just that Xiao Anzi, your blessings are too shallow! ”

"What a pity for such a person! It's a pity that I've already married a wife, but I don't know if I let the matchmaker come to the door to propose marriage, will I be wronged by being a noble concubine! Another boy giggled and quipped.

Concubine? Hum! He Tongan glanced at him disdainfully, turned around and changed his face, and walked downstairs to Guo Jia in a serious manner. Qian Fu and others rarely saw him so resolute, and they couldn't help but coax!
