After saying this, Xiao Zou didn't speak again.

The atmosphere condensed suddenly.

Zou sat dryly for a moment, quite embarrassed. Xu Zheng didn't know what he thought, and he thought about it. Xu Jinyu smiled and looked calm.

Xiao Zou saw Xu Jinyu's calm appearance out of the corner of his eye, and his heart became more and more displeased.

Ji Yu came in to greet Xiao Zou, and finally broke the dullness.

Ji Yu was scolded by Xiao Zou yesterday, and she was still awkward in her heart, so she sat aside with a sullen face after asking for peace.

Xu Jinyu accosted with a smile: "Cousin Yu, I tried the dress you sent yesterday, and it fits well." I wore it on my body today, how about you take a look? ”

Ji Yu glanced at Xu Jinyu. Xu Jinyu has a good appearance, her skin is as white as snow, her figure is slender, and her autumn-colored dress is worn on her body, which is more and more delicate and eye-catching.

Among the four newly made dresses, Ji Yu didn't like Qiu Xiangshi the most, and she didn't wear it because she was old-fashioned, so she gave it to Xu Jinyu without any distress. I didn't expect Xu Jinyu to look so good in it

Ji Yu was jealous and annoyed in her heart, and responded lukewarmly: "It's okay." ”

Xu Jinyu couldn't guess what the cautious Ji Yu was thinking, and deliberately pursed her lips and smiled: "Cousin Yu is so good to me, I can't repay it, I want to embroider a handkerchief and give it to Cousin Yu." I don't know what kind of pattern Cousin Yu likes? ”

That dress is made by the best embroidery village in Bianliang City, and it is worth twenty taels of silver! Xu Jinyu was also embarrassed to use a handkerchief as a return gift!

Ji Yu pouted: "I don't lack silk handkerchiefs, you embroider handkerchiefs and keep them for yourself!" ”

"Of course, Cousin Yu is indispensable to the maid who can embroider the veil, I just want to show my heart." Xu Jinyu was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile: "Cousin Yu is as pretty as a hibiscus, so I'll embroider a hibiscus for you." It just complements each other. ”

Thousands of wears are not worn by sycophants!

Ji Yu listened to the beauty, and her complexion eased a lot.

Xiao Zou saw this scene in his eyes, and his eyes darkened.

Ji Yu has a quick temper and can't hold her breath, and her eyes are above the top, she always thinks and says anything. Xu Jinyu is only one year older than Ji Yu, but the city government is far better than Ji Yu, and in just a few words, the grumpy Ji Yu will be happy

"Madam, Second Miss and Fourth Miss Gu are here." Hanyu walked in to report.

Xiao Zou's eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips seemed to smile: "Hurry up and invite them in!" ”

The beaded curtain jingled, and two young girls walked in one after the other.

Ji Yu still looked reserved and indifferent, and after saluting, she sat down and did not speak. Gu Caiping took the initiative to talk to Xiao Zou: "The eldest sister has been bedridden to recuperate, and I am deeply ashamed that I can't come to Tinglan Hospital every day to ask for peace." Before I came, my eldest sister specially told me to greet you on her behalf. ”

The tone is respectful, and it is completely the tone of the younger and the elders, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Because of this, it makes people feel even more strange.

The discord between the Gu family and the Xiao Zou family is by no means a matter of a day or two. Since Gu's miscarriage, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become more and more cold. Xiao Zou waited for ten days and a half and did not go to Qianyunju once. It is impossible for the Gu family not to know about this matter. Gu Caiping, as the sister of the Gu family, is naturally on the side of the Gu family. Now he took the initiative to show favor to Xiao Zou, and the hidden meaning behind this is really worth pondering.

Xiao Zou sneered in his heart.

The Gu family is also a noble family, and the Gu family and Ji Ze are considered to be a good match. But in the past few years, the Gu family has not been able to have the emperor's heart, and it has gradually declined. The Ji family has won the favor of the saints. The three princes born by Concubine Ji Xian won the sacred heart, Weining Marquis Ji Hong led the troops to garrison the border pass, and the prince Ji Ze was also in charge of the military and became the deputy commander of the guards.

Today's Weining Marquis Mansion is already one of the top noble families in Dayan.

Seeing that the Gu family couldn't stay up for long, the Gu family began to have the idea of marrying their young daughter into the Hou Mansion to be the successor of the family.

This Gu Caiping, who looks beautiful and dignified, is actually not a good thing at all. The girl who has not decided to marry Baba came to live, what happened to the melon field and plums? Once there is any reputation, won't it be up to the son to be responsible?

Xiao Zou suppressed the anger surging in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "Gu's health is not good, just recuperate with peace of mind." It doesn't matter if the family asks for peace or not, the most important thing is that she gets better quickly. lest the big guys remember it day and night. ”

Intentionally or unintentionally, the three words of the family are a little heavier.

Gu Caiping's cheeks were slightly hot, and he immediately responded calmly: "I talked to my eldest sister yesterday, and I persuaded her like this!" The eldest sister has been ill for more than a year, and she has been lying in bed to recuperate, and she can't manage all the things in the Hou Mansion, and she can't even take care of the affairs of Qianyunju. Fortunately, my aunt has been helping to take care of it. ”

Xiao Zou sighed: "Seeing her lying in bed all day long, my heart as a mother-in-law is not good." It's not a big deal to help with chores. ”

Xu Jinyu lowered her eyelids and hid the sarcasm in her eyes.

A sister who covets herself, and her sister is still sick on the bed, so she can't wait to come up and make a plan. The other is even darker and more distorted, with ulterior hidden thoughts, eager to drive Gu Caiping, who admires Ji Ze, out of the Hou Mansion immediately.

But the two of them refused to show it on their faces, and they pretended to be coming and going, which was disgusting to hear.

In the final analysis, the most pitiful is still the Gu family. Before the person died, the position of the princess was already coveted and calculated

After gossiping for a while, Gu Caiping got up, and her beautiful face showed a soft smile: "The eldest sister stayed alone in Qianyunju, I really couldn't rest assured in my heart, and I retired first." ”

A good sister who cares about her eldest sister.

Xiao Zou forcibly resisted the urge to sneer and sneer, and responded kindly: "It's okay, you should go back to accompany Gu Clan earlier!" Just think of it as your own home. What is missing is just opening the mouth. ”

Gu Caiping thanked him gratefully.

Ji Yu was impatient to see Xiao Zou's coy posture, and retired with Gu Caiping

After returning from Tinglan Courtyard, Zou inevitably had to babble a few more words: "Jin Niang, what you said today is too much. If you insist on setting up a small kitchen, your aunt will be unhappy, and her face is so ugly just now. How embarrassing it was for the three of us mother and son just now. ”

Xu Jinyu curled the corners of her lips: "What are you afraid of for a moment of embarrassment, in short, my aunt has agreed." With a small kitchen, it is so convenient to make snacks for my eldest brother in the future. We don't always have to eat from the big kitchen. ”

The best thing is that in the name of purchasing, you can freely enter and leave the Hou Mansion at any time. It will be much easier to do something in the future.

Zou couldn't do anything about Xu Jinyu, so he reluctantly admonished: "Forget it this time, you have to be careful in what you say and act in the future." ”

Xu Jinyu nodded casually, obviously not taking it to heart at all.

This girl, who used to be docile and obedient and well-behaved, now seems to be a different person.

Zou sighed helplessly, and quickly picked up his spirits to discuss the matter of the small kitchen with Xu Jinyu. The most important thing right now is to get the kitchenette right. As for Xiao Zou's side, he can only find an opportunity to slowly mend the relationship in the future.

Originally, there was a small kitchen in the Yin Yan Pavilion, but it was useless and accumulated a lot of dust. Mother Li led the maid to clean up for a long time, and then cleaned up the small kitchen.

The next day, Zou ordered the little servant to go out of the house and buy stoves, bowls, chopsticks, ingredients and the like. Soon, the kitchenette was ready to look.

Zou came to the capital this time and brought a total of more than a dozen subordinates. Some remained in the Xu Mansion in Lin'an. A dozen people are not too many, and it is more than enough to serve the mother and son. Among them, there is a grandmother Sun who has the best cooking skills, and now it comes in handy and becomes a cook.

Zou looked at the newly furnished small kitchen, secretly happy in his heart, and began to think about what he was going to do for today's supper, while casually asking, "Mother Li, where is Jin Niangren?" ”

Mother Li replied with a smile: "Back to Mrs., the second lady went to Qianyunju." ”

Shallow Cloud Residence?

Zou subconsciously frowned, and couldn't help but complain a few words in front of Li's mother: "In the past few days, Jinniang seems to have changed as a person, and she is very assertive. I told her about it, but she didn't pay attention to it at all. I asked her to have less contact with the Gu family and more to be close to Sister Yu, but she just refused to listen to me. ”

Mother Li was the bridal maid of the Zou family back then, and she has watched Xu Jinyu grow up for so many years, and she is also very familiar with Xu Jinyu's temperament. Hearing this, he nodded and agreed: "Yes, the slave also feels that the second lady has changed a lot. ”

After a pause, she smiled and said: "The second lady is fourteen this year, and she will be in time next year, and she will be a big girl when it comes to it." It's not a bad thing to have some opinions. ”

After the woman was fifteen and the queen, she also reached the age of marriage and marriage.

When Zou thought of this, he couldn't help but feel stunned for a while, and sighed: "The old man has a breeze on his sleeves, except for the mansion in Lin'an City, he doesn't leave much belongings. In the future, Jin Niang will get married, but I am afraid that she will not even have a decent dowry. ”

The daughter was born with a good appearance, intelligent, proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and the art of embroidery is unparalleled. Zou is very proud of his daughter. But Xu Jinyu has no father after all, and she doesn't have much dowry. It's not easy to find a good family.

The Zou family went to Xiao Zou in a low voice, not only for Xu Zheng's future, but also for Xu Jinyu. With the momentum of the Weining Hou Mansion, as long as Xiao Zou is willing to contribute, it may not be difficult for Xu Jinyu to find a good family.

Xu Jinyu is well married, and she may be able to help her brother in the future

These secret thoughts, Zou naturally did not say them casually, and quickly opened the topic
