22 Make up your mind
After the fourth lady went back, she sent the idlers and others back to their respective houses, leaving only their sons and daughters, sitting in the house and piling up smiling faces for people to serve melons and fruits.
"Mother, tonight's long room is unhappy because of the marriage of the three sisters?"
Gu Yi asked while pinching the shoulders of the fourth lady, she knew that the marriage of the three sisters in the second room was intervened by her grandmother, and there were several spare tires, but the focus should be on Changningbo's family.
"Silly boy, where would the long house be moved by such a trivial matter." The fourth lady looked at her intimate daughter and the son who began to smoke strips, and felt much more comfortable, thinking that one was eight years old and the other was eleven years old, and she should let them know something, and she would get up in detail, "Even if there is no matter of Chang Ningbo, the princess will not let the county lord sit with you." ”
"The princess's shelf is too big to look down on...... What good is it for the county lord to alienate the sisters like this? Aren't you afraid that the county lord will also have a reputation as a leader? ”
Gu Xin followed the Qiao family to read the sage book, and he was the most upright and upright on weekdays, and he was always dissatisfied with Yuyi's prestige of not giving a little face, not to mention that today from his grandparents to his sister were slapped in the face by Changfang.
Gu Yi secretly glared at the literary young man who was in the rebellious period, comforted his mother and said, "Mother, let's just not mix the marriage in the second room, anyway, it is the thread drawn by the fifth aunt, and the princess will not be innocently angry." ”
"It's not the mother's ...... who will do the work in the end," the second middle school boy said angrily.
"Goro, be careful." The fourth lady gently interrupted her son's words.
"Mother, I'll go back to the room to read the book first. Let my sister accompany you. Gu Xin retired directly.
"Mother, don't be angry, my brother didn't mean to." Gu Yi hurriedly comforted the fourth lady.
"How could I be angry with him, the boy has a good face, and he also feels sorry for you."
"I don't think there's anything, I heard that when I went to the Qingyi Courtyard to spread the word, the princess directors were all holding the county lord, and they really wanted their daughter to be ruthless."
To be honest, Gu Yi really didn't think that it was a big deal for her to lose face, she wouldn't think that accompanying a few smiling faces and a few flattering careful thoughts would make the princess take a fancy to her. The boss she used to serve was also a notoriously difficult 'Virgo', but in the end, she didn't take it down with three years of water grinding? not only regarded her as a confidant, let her manage the financial power, but also divided the company's shares in order to keep her.
She couldn't have understood this truth by lowering her head now so that she could raise her head higher in the future.
"If there weren't a few aunts and aunts here, maybe the princess would have made you sisters close." The fourth lady touched her daughter's face funny, "Today's seat is your grandmother's original intention is to make you and the county lord closer, but before the banquet, your grandfather brought two aunts and grandmothers, so I had to send someone to call the three aunts over to make up for six seats." ”
"Didn't the princess and uncle ...... because of family affairs?"
"Of course not, what weight can a second-room maid have?"
"Good mother, what else is going on here, tell me quickly!"
Although Gu Yi was an orphan in his previous life, under the care of the fourth lady, he could already be very proficient in coquettishness.
"It's two things in one. The first thing is indeed the family affair of the three girls, the fifth master of Changningbo's family and Concubine Du Xian are closer than his brothers and sisters, he has two sons, and the sister-in-law is a concubine of Concubine Chen's mother-in-law, Jing Tianbo, I didn't expect to be willing to take the concubine to marry the concubine of the second room, and I also calculated a lot of money. This is their initiative to lean over, and besides, the two people who got married are both concubines, no matter what the reason, your grandmother never wants to give up this opportunity, and even your grandfather said that he would move.
"Another thing is next year's big reading, there is news in the long house that he wants to make room for your third uncle in the sixth department, and your grandfather wants your third uncle to continue his term for three years and replace your father."
"If you change your father, will you still be willing to help in the long house?" Ever since Gu Yi knew that his grandfather and grandmother intended to marry the Changning Bo family, he knew that it was the Nine Emperor Princes who really wanted to make up their minds. The third prince, King Guangen, has already referred to the eldest daughter of Bai Zhangsi of the Wedding Department, and she will marry after the New Year. Bai Zhangsi is the top boss of the fourth master, so his father was very active in promoting this family business before. "I want to lean on Concubine Du Xian's side, and now I want to make a move in the long house, isn't it not good?"
The fourth lady let out a long sigh, what the eight-year-old daughter understands, these elders are confused, thinking that others don't know their abacus. "What your grandfather wants to discuss with your uncle today should be to determine whether this errand can fall on your father's head, if Changfang insists on giving the third room, it is estimated that Changningbo's side will have to make a decision."
"Will the long room agree for the girl in the second room?" After thinking about it, she was also dragged into the ditch, "It's me who wants to be left, and I don't have to pay attention to either side of the long house." ”
"Exactly. And I suspect that Changfang took out a position in the sixth department at this time, which was intentional. ”
“…… Muddy the water. Gu Yi felt that his father's level might as well be as good as the fifth uncle's family at home, and his grandfather and grandmother tossed like this, maybe in the end, they didn't get close to either side, or finally got on Chang Ningbo's side, and it was possible to marry her to the Nine Emperor Princes in the future.
The fourth lady was very pleased with her daughter's intelligence, and felt that she should talk to her more, "The six family affairs in the second room, and the Huang family and the Cao family are suitable for your three sisters, and the other families are too high or too low, and they are not a good match." ”
"The second lady is very good to her sisters, her face is poor, but she is good inside."
"Mother's Ah Shan understands this! Rest assured, your marriage, Mother and Brother Xin will definitely take a good look at each other. ”
"Mother-" Gu Yi was helpless, she was only eight years old, wouldn't it be too early to say such things!
The fourth lady covered her mouth and chuckled, and hugged her daughter lovingly.
***********************
Gu Xiaozhu, who was sleeping in Qingyi Hall, was shaken awake, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Gu Xi holding her, and she felt the aroma of cherries in front of her nose in a daze, and then she was fed a glass of warm honey water by Gu Yi in her mouth, and she enjoyed the personal care of her brothers very moisturizingly, waiting for the sleepiness to pass.
Suddenly, I heard Gu Chong say softly: "I think the fourth princess hates to marry too much, so Concubine Xian is anxious." ”
Hey? Isn't the fourth princess the princess who runs after her second brother and always sends people to deliver things in other courtyards! Gu Ci suddenly became energetic.
Gu Ao smashed a chestnut to Gu Chong, "Why don't you say that the King of Zhongshan will praise you for your bravery!" ”
Belch...... The king of Zhongshan likes the third brother, and the fourth princess has a crush on the second brother?
Gu Ci nestled quietly in Gu Xi's arms, eating the cherry cake fed by Gu Yi, and the three of them silently served as the backdrop.
King Zhongshan and the second princess and the fourth princess were all born to the Liang family, the king of Zhongshan was twenty-one years old this year before he was able to leave the palace to open the house, the second princess was nineteen years old, two years ago it was given to the eldest son of the eldest princess of Chunyi, Ke Jian, the fourth princess is seventeen years old and still waiting in the boudoir.
"Nonsense, I don't know who spread the word, I haven't said a few words to him at all." The king of Zhongshan is eight years older than the twins, and he has no intersection in the palace, and they don't run to the harem, how can they meet so easily.
"The women of their family love to play this kind of disgusting little trick, and they don't need to pay attention. I said earlier that my son is 18 married and 20 married. Yuyi supported her son domineeringly.
"There is no need to be nervous, King Zhongshan and many children of his colleagues have said this." Gu Yao was much calmer.
Gu Xi laughed out loud: "It's all the same as my father, I'm in charge of the soldiers, right?" ”
It seems that this Zhongshan King is not honest! Write him down in a little notebook! Gu Ci shamelessly asked, "What little trick?" ”
"It's just hinting everywhere that I don't know which brother in our family is better, so that the two of them don't want to be jealous of her, she can't bear to live up to it, and she is very distressed......"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xi was hit in the forehead and nose by two peanuts thrown by Gu Yao and Gu Ao at the same time.
Gu Yao glared at him angrily: "Don't talk nonsense in front of Ah Luan!" ”
Gu Chong was eager to try to come over and beat people.
Gu Ci immediately came to the aid of the heroic Seventh Brother, "Don't bully the Seventh Brother!" ”
Yuyi said to Gu Yao with a smile next to her: "Don't let her know anything when she is young." Our family Ah Luan will definitely be a little beauty who will fall into the country and the city in the future, and now many people have begun to beat her idea, so that she can understand it as soon as possible is really good for her. ”
"Which bastard?!" Gu Yao's face darkened, and the four elder brothers also turned pale.
Yuyi said: "I don't know how many people I have heard during this period of time say that they want Ah Luan to be their daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. Besides, don't you also know that Concubine Xian came over, and half of it was for Xiao Jiu? ”
"Think beautifully!" Gu Yao, who was angry, solemnly explained to his sons, "You have to take care of your sister, don't let those stinky boys have a chance to deceive." ”
"Don't worry, Daddy, I'll clean up Xiao Jiu when school starts!" Gu Xi said wildly, cool and domineering.
"Marry at thirty, marry at twenty." Gu Yi said coolly.
"That's right, you can't make a decision too early, and it's not too late to pick someone when Ah Luan is twenty years old." Gu Chong agreed.
"You can also find a few candidates first, let's pick slowly." Gu Ao smiled lightly.
"This is a good idea, we must find an obedient, gentle, handsome and talented one for Ah Luan, and the mother-in-law and concubine should be kind, and there is no difficult sister-in-law," Yuyi began to wonder which of the current age-appropriate Xiaolangjun are more suitable, "My baby should show off his power for a lifetime!" ”
Gu Ci was dumbfounded, listening to a few people seriously discussing the various conditions of her future husband, she is only three years old this year, okay!? Is it too early for you to think about this?!
"Mother, who is Xiao Jiu?"
"The youngest son of the emperor, the second son of Concubine Xian, the younger brother of the eldest princess and King Guangen, is one year older than you." Know-it-all Gu Xi replied.
"Why did you get involved with me?" My mother and Concubine Du Xian don't have any friendship!
Gu Chong sighed annoyedly, "It may have something to do with our family in the future." THEN BLABLA TOLD HIM ABOUT THE MARRIAGE OF CHANGNINGBO'S FAMILY.
Gu Ci was completely 'the son of Aunt Ding's sister who discussed with the second girl, and the concubine of the fifth master from the Changning Bo family, the biological mother of the fifth master and the biological mother of Concubine Du Xian are sisters, and the two sisters only have one son, and the second girl will have a concubine who is the eldest princess in the future' This complex interpersonal relationship is so bad that the memory is insufficient and the CPU is down!
She pouted stupidly, and was fed several peeled chestnuts by Gu Yi, and then came back to her senses with some understanding.
"The matchmaker is the aunt of the fifth room, and the girl who is married to the second room, what does it have to do with me!"
"Luan is so smart!" Yuyi thinks that her daughter is so powerful, she can see the key points clearly at a young age.
"It's a pity that the reaction was a little slower." Gu Yi complained.
Gu Ci immediately left this Nine Emperor Prince behind and began to pester a few people to ask about the marriage of the other two sisters.
When talking and laughing, after eating dumplings, Gu Yao took her out to the flower hall, countless snow sculptures and ice sculptures were erected on the side of the road, lanterns of different colors were lit, and the ice and snow were illuminated with a colorful scene, and several boys and subordinates set off more than a dozen strings of firecrackers outside the flower hall, so scared that Bajie kept drilling under Gu Ci's skirt, and nearly 100 fireworks were set off in the outer courtyard, reflecting half of the sky.
***********************
The first day of the new year was just polished, except for Gu Ci, everyone else went to worship their ancestors, but Yuyi and the ladies were sitting in the flower hall of the main courtyard waiting for the men.
After worshipping the ancestors, Gu Pu and Mrs. Fang took the seat to receive New Year's greetings, the elders gave the children red envelopes, and the people in the long room went back to Qingyi Hall to change their clothes and prepare to enter the palace. It's a pity that Gu Ci didn't have a chance to see him this year.
The second day of junior high school is the day when the married girl returns to her parents' house, and if possible, she will take her husband and children to stay for one night, and the Guogong Mansion is deserted, only the old couple and the second master, the three masters and a group of aunts and aunts are at home.
Yuyi and Gu Yao took their four sons into the palace for a family banquet, and at night they closed the door to a reunion dinner.
After the third day of the new year, the prelude to the New Year's greetings officially kicked off, and Yuyi and Gu Yao began to go to the banquet with their four sons. The left-behind children took Bajie to accompany the master during the day, and then prepared frozen pear juice at night to relieve the oiliness or alcohol smell of the people.
On the day before the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, because Gu Ci could not go out to see the lanterns, the Queen Mother and the emperor specially gave one hundred and eight exquisite palace lamps of all kinds, and Yuyi ordered all of them to be hung up in the Lifang Garden.
The person who sent the lamp was Yuan Yi, who was carrying a large bag and preparing to move in again. Seeing Gu Ci holding Bajie in a circle under the lantern with joy and madness, the four brothers shook hands with him helplessly.
When it was the right day, the people in the long house didn't go out, and accompanied Gu Qi with Yuan Yi to celebrate the first reunion in his life.
