It took more than half a month to rush from Lin'an to the capital, and everyone was very tired. Zou and Xu Zheng fell asleep with their pillows dipped in their heads.
Xu Jinyu almost didn't sleep all night last night, and today she was tired for another day, and she was already extremely tired, but she didn't feel sleepy when she lay in bed. His eyes unconsciously fell on the light-colored gauze tent, and his thoughts had long since wandered out of the sky.
I want to live in the Weining Hou Mansion for a year.
This year, she has to muster all the mental resources to deal with it. Of course, Xiao Zou has to deal with it, but he can't be in a hurry. Plan carefully, be sure to hit with one blow, so that Xiao Zou will never be able to turn over
Chu Xia silently accompanied her for a long time, and finally couldn't help but open her mouth and ask, "Miss, why haven't you slept yet?" Is there something on your mind? "I cried for the middle of the night last night, and today I was unusually silent. I can't help but worry.
Xu Jinyu came back to her senses and saw the eyes overflowing with concern in early summer.
and the tearful but determined eyes in the memory quietly coincided.
Xu Jinyu has mixed tastes in her heart, and she has any taste. It's more about rejoicing. I am glad that I woke up at the age of Shaohua, and I am glad that all the tragedies did not happen at this time.
"It's probably the first time I arrived in a strange place, and I always felt unsteady in my heart, and I couldn't sleep for a while." Xu Jinyu smiled and said, "In early summer, you also come up and talk with me." โ
Chu Xia is the daughter of Xu Jinyu's nurse, and she has grown up with Xu Jinyu since she was a child. This time in Beijing, the nurse was left in Lin'an to guard Xu's house, and in early summer, she came to Bianliang with Xu Jinyu.
The two are similar in age, and they are like sisters as masters and servants, and there are not so many rules when they get along in private. Chu Xia responded with a smile, and quickly stripped off and slept next to Xu Jinyu.
Chu Xia has a lively temperament and loves to talk: "Miss, the slave maid has always thought that Lin'an City is good, and today I have opened my eyes to Bianliang." This Weining Marquis Mansion is more than five times larger than our house in Lin'an! The maids in the Hou Mansion are also extraordinarily magnificent. That Hanyu, the clothes on her body are almost catching up with the young lady of an ordinary official eunuch's family."
Xu Jinyu smiled: "Are you thinking that I, the master, have treated you badly?" โ
Chu Xia smiled and replied: "Miss knows that the slave doesn't mean this. The slave just thinks that everything in this Hou Mansion is different! โ
"It's really different." Xu Jinyu's voice was flat and leisurely, but it was inexplicably full of meaning: "We are new here, and we have been staying for a long time, and some of them are your eye-openers." โ
Chu Xia didn't hear anything unusual, and took over the conversation with great interest: "Yes, the slave thinks the same way." I'm going to visit the princess tomorrow morning, and I don't know if this princess is beautiful or not. Also, I don't know what the prince looked like again. The second and third ladies are all born with good looks, and they must be very handsome in the next life. โ
It's really handsome.
One of the most famous beautiful men in the capital, young and handsome, famous. Even though he has already married a wife, there are still many people who admire him.
Back then, wasn't she also dazzled by that handsome jade-like skin?
Xu Jinyu's deep dark eyes were full of pain and remorse, but her voice was unusually calm: "Tomorrow morning, you can follow my aunt to Qianyunju to see the princess." As for the prince, there will always be a time for him to return to the house, and we will stay in the Hou Mansion for a year, and we will always have the opportunity to see him. โ
Chu Xia didn't hear anything unusual, smiled and mumbled, and chattered and gossiped.
The familiar voice and the body temperature around you make people feel extremely reassured.
Xu Jinyu's feelings slowly relaxed, and tiredness hit.
In early summer, he yawned and carefully leaned his head over, and the master and servant snuggled together, gradually falling asleep
The next morning, after breakfast, the three of Zou's mother and son went to Tinglan Courtyard together. Soon, Ji Yu also came to say goodbye to Xiao Zou.
Xiao Zou and Ji Yuju both looked calm, as if the clash of words last night had not happened.
Ji Yu doesn't have any city government, she has always had a pretty face, and she ignores Ji Yu when she sees her.
Xu Jinyu, as Ji Yu's cousin, doesn't have to choose to be born on Ji Yu's side. Xiaoxiao and Ji Yu talked: "Cousin Yu, the Luo skirt style you are wearing today is special, I have never seen it before!" โ
These words tickled Ji Yu's itch.
Ji Yu raised the corners of her lips smugly, and her voice was full of pride: "This is the most popular style in Bianliang this year, and it has been circulated from the palace." Of course you haven't seen it in Lin'an. โ
Xu Jinyu's eyes showed just the right amount of envy, and then whispered: "Cousin Yu, can you lend me this Luo skirt, and I will do the same." โ
Ji Yu's vanity swelled suddenly, and she responded gracefully: "I made four such skirts, you are about the same size as me, if you like it, I will give you one." I'll have someone send it there in the afternoon. โ
"Really?" Xu Jinyu looked surprised: "Then thank you Cousin Yu." โ
Just a skirt can be happy like this! In the end, he came from the small city of Lin'an, and he spoke and acted with a small family spirit.
Ji Yu thought with a little disdain in her heart, and it was not so unpleasant to look at Xu Jinyu's beautiful face again, thinking that it would be good to have one more cousin around her who was holding her everywhere to relieve her boredom.
Impulsive, irritable, narrow-minded, stupid, dull and brainless! It really doesn't take much effort to deal with such people.
Xu Jinyu smiled and thought leisurely in her heart.
A nest of snakes and rats!
Ji Yu occasionally glanced at the two who were laughing in a low voice, and her face was silent, but she smiled disdainfully in her heart. Yesterday she probably looked away. For people like Xiao Zou, how good can an aunt and niece be
The group was led by Xiao Zou and soon arrived at Qianyunju.
Gu's personal maid Bi Luo greeted her respectfully: "The slave maid has seen Madame, two young ladies, and Mrs. Xu's young master." "Everyone knows about the Xu family's entry into the mansion. Although Bi Luo has never seen the Xu family, he can guess the identity of the person.
Bi Luo was Gu's dowry maid back then, with a calm and beautiful appearance, she was over twenty years old and had never been married.
Xiao Zou snorted and asked, "How is the princess today?" โ
Bi Luo's eyes darkened, and he responded in a low voice: "I just drank the medicine, and I used a small half bowl of terrier rice porridge for breakfast." โ
"You go in and sue her, and say that I came to see her with Mrs. Xu." Xiao Zou said lightly: "She's not in good health, so don't toss up." โ
Biro answered, turned and went into the inner room. Soon he turned back and led the people in.
Push open the door, lift the bead curtain, and go to the inner room.
It was already early spring, and the weather was getting warmer, but the house was still hung with heavy curtains, and the light seemed dim. There was a faint smell of sandalwood in the house, but it couldn't hide the smell of medicine.
A thin young woman sat on a bed, covered with a thick silk quilt from the waist down.
She was about twenty-three or fourteen years old, with a sickly face, a pale complexion, a face that was so beautiful that it was almost unshaped, and her wrists that were frighteningly thin.
This sick young woman is Gu's.
Gu and Xiao Zou's gazes touched slightly in the air.
After a brief moment of their gaze meeting, the two looked away.
Others didn't pay attention, but Xu Jinyu secretly sneered. Xiao Zou's rarely comes to visit the Gu family on weekdays, it is not as simple as outsiders imagine, but the Xiao Zou family's city is very deep, and the Gu family has to cover it up, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cover up the dirty matter so that no one knows.
The corners of Gu's lips raised a shallow smile, and he called out to his mother-in-law weakly.
Xiao Zou smiled gently: "Your aunt led Zheng'er and Jinniang to see you. โ
Gu Shi looked over a little apologetically: "My body is weak, and I have been sick on the couch, so it is inconvenient to get out of bed and salute." Please forgive me. โ
"You are not feeling well, stay in bed with peace of mind, and you will be able to see the outside world when you say these words." Zou raised a smile and said: "It's the three of us mother and son, and we will live in the Hou Mansion for a long time in the future, so there will be a lot of disturbances." โ
Gu smiled and said: "Aunt is like going to her own home when she arrives at the Hou Mansion, just rest assured to stay, if there is anything to disturb, there is nothing to disturb." His eyes fell on Xu Jinyu's brothers and sisters, and admiration flashed in his eyes: "Cousin Zheng and Cousin Jin are outstanding in appearance, they are simply dragons and phoenixes among people." What a blessing my aunt is. โ
Without waiting for the Zou family to be polite and humble, Gu told Ji Yu Ji Yu with a smile: "Second sister and third sister, I can't get out of bed because I'm sick all day, and I can't greet my aunt and cousins. You two should do your best to be a landlord. โ
In just a few words, it is uncomfortable to listen to people.
Even though he was seriously ill in bed, Gu still showed the magnificence of the princess.
Ji Yu responded with a smile. When the Gu family passed the door, she was not yet ten years old, and she had never been very close to Xiao Zou, but she was quite close to Gu's eldest sister-in-law.
Ji Yu and Gu Shi were much more estranged, and they responded casually when they heard this, obviously not taking it to heart.
The room was full of female dependents, and Xu Zheng, as the only man, couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and he didn't talk much. Xu Jinyu was even more cautious, standing aside with a smile all the time, listening to the audience's painless greetings.
Gu Shiqiang was energetic, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows quickly showed tiredness.
Zou was about to open his mouth to say goodbye, when a little maid walked in lightly and whispered a few words in Biluo's ear.
Bi Luo walked to the side of the bed and whispered, "Princess, Mrs. Gu has led the fourth lady to see you." "Mrs. Gu is the mother-in-law of the Gu family, and Miss Gu Si is the youngest sister of the Gu family.
Gu's spirits perked up, but he didn't immediately order someone to invite Mrs. Gu and them in, but looked at Xiao Zou.
No matter how many grievances there are between Xiao Zou and Gu, it is a private matter, but he can't lose his politeness on his face, so he immediately got up and said with a smile: "The in-laws are here, so I'll go out to greet them." โ
