The family banquet ended lively, Gu Ci didn't feel any crisis at all, and thought that Yuan Yi would get it done.

Happily returned home, Gu Ci hugged Bajie and reported to his father, mother, master and brother about the affairs in the palace.

She will live in the east side hall of Cining Palace in the future, and this will be known to Yeye.

For example, she was very annoyed by the Nine Emperor Princes, and she had to let the Seventh Brother think about it.

It was also harmful to the eighth prince who suffered from the pond fish, and he wanted to ask the little brother who had some friendship with him to apologize.

The eighth princess is a weird little white flower, which gives her the illusion that she is a bad mother-in-law, and she is so good.

In the end, she seemed to be 'nosy' and let Concubine Du Xian stab, what if there is a similar situation?

When it comes to the education of their daughters, the men all invariably let the mother speak.

Yuyi hugged her and said softly: "Even if the eighth princess wrongs you, what if she behaves in a coy manner?" What if Concubine Xian is unhappy? Even if Ah Luan offends all the people in the harem, it doesn't matter, my mother is only afraid that you will endure the grievances and suffer a loss! ”

Gu Ci couldn't help but defend himself, "I didn't!" I just feel that this is not the intention, Xu is inexperienced, and his words and deeds are misunderstood. Wouldn't it be better if I had handled it myself properly and avoided such misunderstandings? ”

"No matter how much you do it, people with a heart can always find mistakes."

"I know," Gu Ci tried to express his thoughts clearly, "but leaving a little leeway for others in everything may be the result of great happiness for all." ”

"How do you know if someone is worthy of your kindness?" Yuyi was very worried.

It doesn't matter about this: "If I wasn't my father's daughter, how many people would be so good to me?" I just try my best to do what I can do well, and I don't have to think about whether others deserve it. ”

Since she was a child, how many people around her have been good to her because of this identity, she doesn't think that her Su aura shines on the planet, even if she is dressed as a ragged and penniless beggar, she can make people bend their waists.

Yuyi choked, speaking of which everyone in the world respects clothes first and then respects people, they have been the pride of the sky since they were children, and the sincerity and falsehood of the people around them have also seen a lot, and they have been used and hurt, so they slowly understand.

Thinking of this, Yuyi took her into her arms with pity and sighed lightly, "It's me who is too fulfilling." ”

Gu Ci said cutely, "Don't worry, mother, fake for a lifetime, it's true, I can always see people's hearts over time, no matter how stupid I am, I can tell it." Besides, there are fathers, masters, and brothers! ”

As long as she doesn't mean to harm her, she doesn't mind letting someone else.

"Our Ah Luan is a broad-hearted!" Gu Yao looked at his daughter with emotion, thinking that she was a little bit who didn't know the world, but she didn't expect that when they didn't know it, they already knew so much.

"Mother, Ah Luan is open-minded, you should be happy." Gu Ao comforted Yuyi.

Xiao Lu has always been very relieved, "Ah Luan will not be sad because of other people's inconsistencies. ”

He saw the two-year-old Gu Ci hiding behind the door, and overheard the two mothers-in-law with broken mouths saying that she was 'blind and dumb, and she was born to be a disaster-destroying fetus' and gloom, but in the blink of an eye, she went to play happily, and when she faced the two mothers-in-law, she was not abnormal at all, and obviously did not take them to heart.

After Yuyi knew about this, she secretly killed the two of them, but from then on, she couldn't tolerate her daughter being wronged a little, for fear that she would be inferior due to illness and excessive nervousness.

Gu Ci listened to Xiao Lu talk about this, and only then did he understand why his mother always minded her soft temper so much, and hurriedly put down the eight precepts, hugging her mother's waist and coquettishly, "Mother, I don't want to waste time on unimportant people." ”

"Then if it's someone like Concubine Xian and Eighth Princess, what will you do?"

"If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone offends me,...... Let's give three points first, and then people will offend me,...... Cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”

"Well said! It's my sister. Gu Xi was very popular.

Gu Chong was very distressed when he knew for the first time that his little sister had been slandered like this when she was very young, and said in a dumb voice, "Just leave this kind of thing to the third brother!" ”

Gu Yi silently held his sister's paw.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, Gu Ci also wanted to try to dilute the fact in his mind that 'two people were killed by the rod because of her', and tried to crook the building, "Ye yes, when will you go to Uncle Ren's and Uncle Chi's house?" ”

"The fourth pool family, the fifth family."

"Tomorrow?" Gu Ci turned his head and asked Yuyi.

"Want to go out?"

"In previous years, I saved so many people how much money I saved for the New Year, and I can't let it go again this year!"

It made everyone laugh.

"Tomorrow, your second and fourth aunts' mother's family will come to sit at home and let you recognize people."

"Won't there be another child who calls me aunt and aunt and makes me ruined, right?" Little Douding was so distressed about his little treasury that he was sad and worried.

Gu Xi couldn't see her as a little adult who pretended to be old, "You little girl who has eaten for several years, and has twice as many monthly expenses as me, are still embarrassed to cry poor?!" "Grab her and nibble and pinch her.

"Huh!? Mother, where is Yulu? How come I haven't seen it? ”

The beauty lady smiled angrily: "Little housekeeper! I will save them for you, and I won't covet you. If you move to Yin Wuju, you will take care of it yourself. ”

"Oh, then I don't want to move the nest, but I can't be so far away from my mother!"

***********************

On the second day of the third day of the new year, the second lady's two elder brothers and a younger brother came to visit the New Year early in the morning with their daughters-in-law and children.

This is the first time that Yuyi has asked Mrs. Fang's relatives to come to Qingyi Hall to visit, and she used to send a certain son to the Guogong Mansion over there for entertainment.

The three uncles of the Xu family were Gu Yao and Gu Chong in the outer courtyard, and Yuyi took Gu Ci to receive the female dependents and a large group of children in the east room.

It's really a big bunch!

Seven or eight noisy boys and five or six lively girls, but after entering the Qingyi Hall, they were all obviously honest. After the children kowtowed, they took the New Year's money and snacks and went back to the second room with the women, and the whole process was like a doll on a New Year's painting, sitting on a chair as a vase.

She was completely dizzy at so many similar-looking children, and she didn't remember anyone at all, so she had to ask Gan Ming to step up to get a pedigree chart for her in the past few days.

However, Gu Chong and the Xu family chatted very happily, and after Gu Yao left, he talked with them for almost an hour before they dispersed.

In the afternoon, the fourth lady's maiden family came to pay New Year's greetings, Mrs. Qiao is currently the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, known as the clear name, it is said that at the end of the year, Dayue is very promising to replace the in-laws who are ready to say goodbye to the old Qin Shoufu into the cabinet, today is Qiao Shangshu's eldest son Qiao Nan, the brother of the fourth lady Qiao Feng, he led the young son and two daughters to come. Qiao Nan's wife is Qin Shoufu's eldest daughter, because Mrs. Qin is seriously ill, she rushed to Qin's mansion with her eldest son and second son on the way.

Gu Yao and Qiao Nan had a good relationship, so they directly invited him to the outer study. It was Gu Yi who accompanied the three sisters and brothers of the Qiao family to come over, and Yuyi rewarded the meeting gift and asked Gu Ci to greet a few people and go back to the inner courtyard by himself.

Qiao Chan is an older sister, fourteen years old this year, with a long face and slanted eyebrows, very generous and hearty, very similar to Qiao Nan. Sister Qiao Juan is the same age as Gu Yi, with a melon seed face and willow eyebrows, delicate and fair-skinned, and a lively personality who smiles before speaking. Qiao Qi is one year older than Gu Ci, quiet and polite, but just now he secretly winked at Gu Ci, it seems that he is not Gu Yi's face-paralyzed iceberg type.

Although Gu Ci is the host's family, Gu Yi and Qiao Chan are both very eldest sister people, how could she let a little winter melon that is not as high as the table to entertain her. As soon as Yuyi left, they let their respective maids disperse to drink tea in the ear room, and took care of the three little ones themselves.

"The county lord's tea here is really good, and it is just right with kidney bean crisp." Qiao Juan also seems to be a sweet person.

"Don't use too much, you will accumulate food for a while, and dinner will not be fragrant again." It was Qiao Chan who spoke.

"I saw that the eldest princess prepared a hawthorn roll, so I borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha, and Ajuan will eat some food in a while." Gu Yi gave Gu Ci a piece of cherry sauce bean paste cake, moved a plate of jade green fruit to Qiao Qi, and then handed the hawthorn roll to Qiao Juan.

"The fifth sister also eats it, this butterfly crisp is delicious." Gu Ci looked at the Qiao family sisters and brothers, "Sisters just call me Ah Luan." ”

"Brother can't call you that?" Qiao Qi asked with a smile.

"Ah Luan, don't pay attention to him, he likes to tease little girls." Qiao Juan complained about her younger brother.

"I'm going back to show off with my eldest brother and second brother, Ah Luan turned out to be such a cute little girl." Qiao Qi didn't think it was wrong.

"Old Madam Qin is okay, right?"

"It should be okay, my grandmother has always been in poor health, and every time she is unwell, she wants her eldest brother to accompany her, so my mother will bring my brothers over."

Qiao Juan said quickly, "My grandmother misses her grandson-in-law, and my eldest brother will be affected." ”

So that's the case, no wonder Qiao Nan took other children so calmly to continue to visit the door.

"Mother is really sorry not to go, thinking of giving a post to the eldest princess another day, so that she can come to the door to ask for guilt." Qiao Chan helped her parents make up for it.

"Sister Chan, don't say that, the health of the elders is the most important, and my mother won't mind."

Qiao Qi snorted, this little county lord is very kind, of course the eldest princess will not care about the Qiao family, entering the palace and meeting relatives is just to let Gu Ci start to get familiar with outsiders, and he can also get to know more handkerchiefs. This is the first time that the Qiao family has been allowed to enter the Qingyi Hospital, and the mother went back to her parents' house halfway, but she shouldn't have been, knowing that it was a bit rude, her father insisted on coming, so naturally she didn't want to miss this opportunity. I don't know if I will be able to see this sensible little county lord in the future, although it is the first time we meet, he only thinks that this little fat girl is well-behaved and exquisite, more cute than the golden boy and girl in the painting, and it is much more interesting than those cousins who want to get close to the eldest brother and second brother and pretend to be reserved, and the cousins and cousins who can cry all morning with their throats pulled.

Qiao Chan is fourteen years old, and when she reaches the age of saying goodbye, she understands many things, and she has a lot of complaints about outsiders in her heart. Although the Qin family was the first assistant before, its foundation was shallow, and the children of the clan and the two cousins of the family were not manufacturable, far less than the branches of the Qiao family. The reason why Qin Shoufu is willing to push the Qiao family up is indeed because the eldest brother Qiao Zhen and Qin Rui, Qin Shoufu's eldest granddaughter, are married. But even if his grandfather entered the cabinet and became the first assistant, the Qiao family didn't take much advantage, and no matter how good Cousin Rui was, it would not be of much help to the eldest brother's career in the future. So my grandfather and father wanted to make good plans for the marriage of my second brother Qiao Yu. The mother was forced to take the second brother to the Qin family, but the grandmother was bent on putting Dou Mei, the only daughter of the widowed second aunt, into a pile with the second brother, for fear that the second brother and the girl of the Gu family would get too close, so that Dou Mei would be lost, and the status of Qin Rui's eldest sister-in-law in the future would be unstable.

Gu Yi knew more than Qiao Chan. Qiao Nan had already proposed marriage to Qiao Yu with her mother, but because her mother seemed to want Qiao Chan to marry Gu Xin, Gu Yi herself was reluctant to have a husband who was two years younger, so it had not been decided. Before the Chinese New Year, Yuyi was willing to walk around with the Qiao family during the New Year's Festival in order to excuse herself, which made Qiao Nan think about it. Yesterday, Aunt Qiao Liu also returned to Qiao's house with the child, and mentioned to Qiao Shangshu that she wanted to give her daughter Fan Qian to Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu suddenly became a fragrant dumpling, so today Mrs. Qin made this decision. Gu Yi was very disdainful of Mrs. Qin's petty behavior, not to mention herself, even Qiao Chan, if Qiao Shangshu couldn't be the first assistant, Gu Yi didn't necessarily want her to be her sister-in-law. Not to mention Gu Ci, the first stop of people's shining debut in the social circle of the capital is the annual Spring Festival palace banquet, and the next day's royal family banquet is to sit in front of the emperor and the queen mother, even the seven princes do not have this honor. Even if the Qiao family becomes the first assistant, it is not enough to see it, let alone only the second grandson of the first assistant.

The three people who had something in their hearts all drank tea quietly, but Qiao Juan had a good chat with Gu Ci.

"How is this little golden egg made? How to eat? ”

"This is a golden egg, prick it with a skewer and dip it in this soy sauce. I heard Ganquan say that fresh quail eggs were wrapped in a cloth bag and shaken out one by one. The same can be done for eggs, so that anyone who doesn't like to eat egg whites or yolks can eat them. ”

"That's amazing! The second brother doesn't like to eat egg yolks, so go back and let us try it in the kitchen. ”

"Our chef can't shake it, and then it was only succeeded by letting the guards who were not on duty shake it, and they said that it was good to practice arm strength like this......"

"You have a lot of good snacks at home!"

"How many sisters like dairy? …… Uh, and Brother Qi. ”

"What's so unusual about us that we're insightful! Sister Shan'er doesn't like sweetness, and our sister and brother are not taboo. ”

"Then I'll ask them to bring the double skin milk."

The double skin milk is steamed out of fresh milk, and the milk at the bottom is poured out with sugar, almond flour and egg white, and then poured back along the edge of the bowl and steamed for the second time.

After a while, the maids put on five bowls of double-skin milk, as well as many small plates of raisins, honey peas, oats, cherry jam, bean paste and other ingredients, which they could pick and put by themselves.

The rich milky aroma immediately attracted the attention of several people, and the milk skin was delicate and smooth, melt-in-your-mouth, and was very popular. Qiao Qi even ate two bowls in a row, and he was still unsatisfied.

Gu Yi tasted this familiar taste, and asked with some surprise, "Who came up with this pair of leather milk, it's so delicious." ”

"The recipe of the imperial chef. It's just that my mother said that the milk skin in the palace always likes to put a lot of sugar to suppress the milky smell, so I asked the kitchen to put less sugar and put some almonds to cook, and the ingredients were also added by myself. ”

This is not nonsense, there is a dim sum in the palace that is the first layer of milk skin boiled, put sugar and honey, called honey milk soup, she is reprocessed, of course, it is much better than the crude version.

Gu Yi put his mind at ease, thinking that it was Taizong's legacy, and it was just carried forward by Gu Ci, the 'ancient' who loved to eat.

"Brother Qi, stand up and eat quickly, it's time for you to be the one who can't eat for a while." Qiao Chan found out that Qiao Qi was pondering whether to have a third bowl.

Qiao Juan laughed, "Look at you, you still dare to say that I am greedy, you can't control your mouth this time!" ”

Qiao Qi said good-naturedly: "This double skin milk is really delicious, and it is very delicious with cherry sauce!" ”

Gu Ci saw that he had already stood up, but it was not easy to move around outside in winter, and he was not good at playing girls' pastime games as a boy, so he thought about it and said, "Brother Qi wants to play chess?" I'll ask my brother to come and accompany you. ”

The three older brothers should be entertaining Gu Yao in the outer courtyard and have no time to see the guests, Gu Yi is less than ten years old, it is estimated that he is nesting in the east courtyard to incubate eggs, and he should come out to move.

"Your little brother is Gu Twelve, and he had his own victories and defeats in previous years."

Qiao Juan complained mercilessly: "If Gu Qilang comes, it will be a complete abuse!" ”

Gu Yi is the best chess skill in the Gu family, but looking at the age of the two Qiao sisters, Gu Ci feels that it is too dangerous for the seventh brother to come!

"The three elder brothers all have to meet guests in the outer courtyard, and they are too busy to go back to the inner courtyard during the Chinese New Year."

While talking, Gu Yi arrived, and after greeting each other, he took Qiao Qi and the three bowls of double-skin milk as a color head to the west to play a game.

Qiao Chan was a little worried, "Brother Qi'er can't eat any more." ”

Qiao Juan said disapprerovitically: "I'm afraid Gu Twelve won't let him eat it in his mouth." ”

"What Ajuan said is that Brother Qi only won one game last year." Gu Yi explained to Gu Ci, "In previous years, Sister Luan didn't go out to socialize, maybe I didn't know that when a few brothers and three cousins Qiao met, they played chess, and the seventh brother killed all sides. ”

"The third brother also plays chess?!" Gu Chong's chess can only abuse her in Qingyi Yuan.

"And chess." Several girls covered their mouths and smiled.

Gu Chong plays chess very well, but the civil official family loves the elegance of Go and plays chess less.

"Sister Luan likes to play chess?"

“…… I can't learn at all, I'm not good at brain-wasting games. Gu Ci said ashamedly.

Xiao Lu and Gu Yao are both famous national players, Yuan Yi and Gu Yi are even more blue, how many times have the four of them taught her, she is still a bad chess hand, full of paste, and completely sets chess pieces by feeling. It's just that someone likes to challenge impossible tasks, so they have to teach her. Every time she was undecided, or put down a chess piece casually, she could feel that the green tendons in the corners of Yuan Yi's forehead were forced to jump again.

"That's it, just use your brain, how boring it is to sit and not speak." Qiao Juan has a kinship.

"When we first met when I was a child, did Ah Luan play the checkers I sent?" Gu Yi asked.

"Ah, I remember that chess. However, my eyes couldn't distinguish colors yet, so I didn't touch them. ”

Everyone was a little surprised, they only knew that her blindness had been cured, but they didn't expect that there would be an intermediate process.

"So healed now?" Qiao Chan asked with concern.

"It's already good, Sister Chan's madder-colored gold makeup pattern cloud brocade, and the crane embroidered with silver thread is so beautiful!"

"This is the pattern drawn by Sister Shan'er. Mine is a bat pattern, it's very chic. Qiao Juan showed off the ornamentation on the cuffs.

"It's all so beautiful!"

Gu Yi was very modest, "It's just a casual drawing, and my cousins use it to save face." If you're interested, I'll send you all the tricks to see. ”

"Okay. I'll let Gan Ming get it. ”

Qiao Chan asked, "Has Luan started to learn needlework?" "The girls of the Qiao family started to get needles when they were four or five years old.

"My mother said that it would not be too late to study after the age of ten."

Qiao Juan was very envious when she heard this, "I'm so happy!" ”

In fact, Gu Ci really wanted to know the skill of sewing, but Yuyi didn't like to see her confined in the house, so she would rather let her run to the kitchen than learn needlework at such a young age.

Clothes are really an eternal topic for women, and a few girls chatted enthusiastically, and they passed the time at once.
