------------

At noon, Xiao Zou specially ordered the kitchen to prepare exquisite meals.

It is embarrassing to recruit only one man for a table of women. Xiao Zou sent someone to the next door to invite Ji Hao from the second room of the Ji family.

Ji Hao is the same age as Xu Zheng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a hearty temperament. The two hit it off at first sight and quickly became acquainted.

The two teenagers talked and laughed, but the women's seat was much quieter.

Mrs. Gu's mother and daughter secretly thought about it, Xu Jinyu's mother and daughter adhered to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, Ji Yu was cold and reserved by nature, and only Xiao Zou and Ji Yu occasionally spoke.

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Gu led Gu Caiping to Qianyunju.

Ji Hao was going to attend a poetry meeting in the afternoon, and warmly invited Xu Zheng to go with him.

Xu Zheng did not make any assertions, and specially asked Zou.

Seeing that Xu Zheng had made friends so quickly, Zou was very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Half a day's work can't delay schoolwork, if you want to go, just go." ”

After Xu Zheng left with Ji Hao, Zou and Xu Jinyu returned to Yinyan Pavilion.

As soon as he arrived at Yinyan Pavilion, Zou lost his smile, ordered the maids to retreat, and then frowned and looked at Xu Jinyu: "Jinniang, I specially told you yesterday, why didn't you take it to heart?" We have come to your aunt, and there will definitely be many places to rely on her in the future. We should also be careful when we speak and act in the Hou Mansion, and stand on your aunt's side. Why did you deliberately make friends with the Gu family, your aunt saw it in her eyes, and she definitely didn't like it in her heart. ”

It is to make Xiao Zou feel that he should feel in his heart, and let Xiao Zou know that her aunt and niece are not easy to control, and they will not hit her with ideas like in their previous life.

Xu Jinyu smiled casually: "Mother, you are too careful." I just chatted with my cousin for a few words, and my aunt is not the kind of person who has a small belly, so she won't be angry with me for this little thing. ”

"Your aunt isn't a fuel-efficient lamp."

Seeing that Xu Jinyu didn't take his advice to heart, Zou was a little anxious, and said in a low voice: "When she was in the boudoir, she was very scheming. As her concubine, marrying Wei Ninghou as a stepfamily is not qualified at all. I don't know where she found out about the places where Wei Ninghou often came and went, and created an opportunity to 'meet' with Wei Ninghou. Wei Ninghou was attracted by her beauty, so he came to the door to propose. ”

"In the past ten years, I have not been back to the capital, and I only have some correspondence with her. However, as a stepmother, she can hold the affairs of the Hou Mansion tightly in her hands, and she can guess her usual style from this alone. You'd better be careful. ”

Xu Jinyu raised her eyes: "However, I have promised my cousin-in-law to accompany her often in the future." You can't be untrustworthy! ”

Zou was choked for a moment, and only said after a while: "Otherwise, you can go once or twice, sit for a while and come back." Not only perfunctory Gu, but also to avoid your aunt's displeasure. ”

Xu Jinyu was as supple as ever, and responded with a smile.

Zou thought it would take a lot of speech, but he didn't expect Xu Jinyu to nod obediently so quickly, and he felt a little powerless when he punched hard but hit the cotton, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Jinyu.

Since crying in the middle of the night two days ago, Xu Jinyu seems to have undergone subtle changes. But the specific differences cannot be described in words

Xu Jinyu opened her black and white eyes with an innocent expression: "Mother, what are you looking at me like this." It's like looking at a stranger, what's wrong with me? ”

Zou came back to his senses, remembered the thoughts that flashed in his mind just now, and couldn't help but secretly blame himself. What's wrong with her, how can she be suspicious of her daughter for no reason?

"It's nothing," Zou smiled disguisedly, "I just think you seem to have lost some weight recently, and your chin has been pointed a lot." You can eat more in the future. ”

Xu Jinyu smiled and hummed, and then said, "Mother, Cousin Yu said today that she would send me a new dress." I want to do some simple embroidery work, embroider some silk handkerchiefs and the like for Cousin Yu. ”

Zou's brows furrowed, and the corners of his lips smiled: "Your embroidery has always been done well, and it is indeed excellent as a gift." By the way, don't forget to give one to Miss Two. ”

Xu Jinyu deliberately put on an embarrassed expression: "Cousin Yu and aunt are separated by a layer of belly, and my aunt definitely doesn't like Cousin Yu in her heart." What if I give her a handkerchief and my aunt gets angry? ”

Zou reflexively refuted back: "It's just to send a handkerchief, your aunt won't be so careful" said and felt that something was wrong, and glanced at Xu Jinyu angrily and funny: "You girl, it's really wilted." ”

He used what she had said to gag her.

Xu Jinyu playfully stuck out her tongue, snuggled up to Zou's side with a smile and coquettishly: "Who let my mother scold people without asking." ”

The appearance of a delicate little daughter made Zou's heart soften, and he hugged Xu Jinyu tightly with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's all mother's." In the future, my mother promises not to count you casually! ”

The mother and daughter laughed for a while, and then Zou went back to the house to rest.

After Zou left, Xu Jinyu really started embroidering.

There is no need to trace the pattern sketch, and the outline of the pattern is embroidered little by little on the soft white silk handkerchief. Flying needle routing, extremely flexible.

She was good at embroidery in her previous life, and later hid in the embroidery village for eight years, picking up needle and thread embroidery every day when she opened her eyes. The tiny embroidery needle has become almost a part of her body.

Chu Xia watched from the sidelines and was amazed: "Miss, your embroidery work is getting better and better." ”

In the past, the young lady also used to do embroidery work, but it was far less familiar and smooth than now. It's as if you close your eyes and never make a mistake with half a stitch.

Xu Jinyu paused slightly, and then pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, Mrs. Li must be very happy to know that my embroidery skills have improved." ”

In early summer, he didn't notice anything wrong, and nodded vigorously.

Xu Jinyu smiled and lowered her head again, her thick black eyelashes covering all the love under her eyes.

The qiē that happened in her previous life has been deeply imprinted into her blood. Today, she looks immature and young, but her heart is tough and cold, and her words and actions have changed a lot. It will be revealed inadvertently. I can't hide it from the people closest to me.

In just two days, Xu Zheng first noticed her abnormality, and today there are Zou and Chu Xia. Fortunately, she was quick to react and covered up the past in time. But if this goes on for a long time, there will inevitably be omissions.

It's not a good idea to cover it up.

She has to find a suitable time to "change", so that the people around her will accept the changed self unsuspectingly

Tinglan Courtyard.

Xiao Zou didn't know what he was thinking, and his expression was uncertain.

Ji Yu held back for a long time, and finally had a chance to complain: "Mother, it's just that Mrs. Gu came to see her sister-in-law, what is the matter with that Miss Gu Si staying in Qianyunju." In two days, the eldest brother should go home, how can there be a brother-in-law and sister-in-law living under the same roof. Thanks to the fact that the Gu family is also a noble family, they don't know how to avoid suspicion. If it spreads, Miss Gu Si will have any reputation. In the future, when the sister-in-law leaves, just marry the eldest brother to continue the strings, etc., shouldn't the Gu family have this idea! ”

When it came to the last sentence, it was almost exclaimed.

Xiao Zou glared at Ji Yu and scolded sharply: "If you don't cover your mouth, can you say this kind of nonsense?" What would it look like if it reached Gu's ears? No nonsense is allowed in the future! ”

Xiao Zou's is the most pampered Ji Yu on weekdays, and the occasional number is also fluttering, and it is almost never before that he has been reprimanded with such a cold face at this moment.

Ji Yu was stunned by the scolding, and argued aggrievedly: "There is no one else here, I will casually tell me what's wrong." I didn't run to my sister-in-law and said."

"Shut up!" Xiao Zou's face became more and more gloomy: "What the Gu family is thinking about is the Gu family's business, and they have their own sons to take ideas." My mother-in-law is not at the mercy of others' calculations. You are not allowed to mix with a girl who has not been married. If I mention half a word in the future, I won't be able to spare you! ”

Ji Yu's eyes were red, and she sobbed and cried.

Xiao Zou was depressed and bored, and he was in no mood to coax her: "Okay, don't cry, go back to Qingzhi Garden first." Apply a towel to your eyes so that no one can tell you're crying. ”

Ji Yu cried and left.

Xiao Zou sat there with a gloomy face, and didn't speak for a long time. The maids in the room were silent.

Xiao Zou suddenly opened his mouth: "You all retreat, you are not allowed to come in without my orders." ”

Hanyu and the others retreated.

Xiao Zou walked to the vanity mirror and took out a delicate key from the third layer of the jewelry box. Then, from the bottom of the cabinet next to him, he found a small wooden box and opened it with a key.

There was nothing else in the box, only a jade pendant. The jade pendant is carved from the best Hetian jade, and the whole body is smooth and clear.

Xiao Zou looked at it stupidly for a moment, picked up the jade pendant, and quietly clenched it hard. The delicate and charming face of the makeup flashed with a frightening gloom and coldness
