The place where the sedan chair falls is a small courtyard, the bluestone brick pavement, the pink wall and gray tile moon door, magnolia, pomegranate, oleander, canna compete to open, the servant women wearing cyan armor go in and out, not far away in the red lacquer door wide open side room in the female dependents or three or five groups standing under the corridor, or sitting at the round table talking and laughing, laughing and noisy, a prosperous and lively scene.

They were greeted by a woman in her thirties, who smiled and led them to the Moon Gate with a smile: "Mrs. Yuan, please come here!" ”

In his previous life, Zhou Shaojin needed to enter the palace every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year to congratulate the queen mother and the queen, and once specially invited the aunt who came out of the palace to teach etiquette. I know that when I first arrived, the most taboo thing was to look around, or make people feel frivolous, or make people feel that they have never seen the world.

She followed her sister with her eyes and nose.

Mrs. Chuda breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Entering the Moon Gate, passing through a bluestone corridor lined with pomegranate trees, and facing a three-wide flower hall.

Different from the courtyard just now, although the flower hall is also a door wide open, but only seven or eight female dependents sit, everyone whispered softly, the gold ornaments on the head, the brocade on the body, in the morning light into the flower hall from time to time flashing bright needles, shaking people a little unable to open their eyes.

"Auntie is here." The young woman with a flowery face and a moon face greeted Yuan with a smile.

"Seventh Grandma." Yuan smiled and greeted her, and introduced the eldest lady and the woman to each other: "This is the eldest lady of our fourth room...... This is the wife of Gu Jincheng, the seventh master of the Gu Mansion, the girl of the Yu family in Pukou, who helps Lao An to manage the middle feed of the family, and is the most hearty and generous, but the eight-sided exquisite, the sixteenth miss of the Gu family who is engaged this time is his sister. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. You lift me up like this every time you come......" Grandma Gu Qi smiled brightly, said a few words modestly, and squatted down on her knees to greet Mrs. Qian.

Mrs. Chu saw the salute and smiled implicitly: "It turns out that Grandma Seven's maiden home is in Pukou, and my maiden home is also in Pukou. ”

"Oops! It turns out that your maiden name is He! Grandma Gu Qi was surprised and delighted, and affectionately took Mrs. Wei's hand, "Why haven't you heard of it?" Sanyanqiao He's family, the champion mansion, that is our famous family in Pukou. I didn't expect to meet you...... I have a younger sister who married into the He family, the fifth master of the third room of the He family......"

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "It's the nephew across the room......"

The two exchanged pleasantries and immediately became acquainted.

Yuan laughed on the side.

Grandma Gu Qi said angrily: "Auntie is still laughing, she knows that I and the eldest wife's maiden family are from Pukou, and she didn't introduce me to the eldest lady earlier, so it's all your fault." When your niece and daughter-in-law toast you, you can't shirk it! ”

"You're trying to take advantage of my bar?" Yuan smiled, and the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Grandma Gu Qi's eyes fell on Zhou Chujin and Zhou Shaojin.

She looked amazed and said, "This is?" ”

"Two cousins in the fourth room. The daughter of the Zhou family on Pingqiao Street. Yuan said with a smile, "Lord Zhou is an official outside, and the two young ladies are temporarily living in the Cheng family." ”

Every three years, there are 300 people in each subject. There are a few families in Jinling City, and there are a few of them.

The Gu family is a scholar, and as soon as the Yuan family says that Gu Qi's grandmother knows who it is.

She smiled and pulled Zhou Chujin's hand and said, "I said whose girl is it, so beautiful, it turns out to be the two daughters of Lord Zhou's family, this is really a rare guest." She said, and instructed the servant women beside her, "I went and invited Miss Seventeen to come over, saying that the two young ladies of the Zhou family on Pingqiao Street were coming, and asked her to come and accompany her." ”

"Don't be so polite." Yuan smiled, "Lao Anren's body bones are okay?" I still came to her old man's house to say goodbye during the Chinese New Year. ”

"Look at my memory!" Grandma Gu Qi patted her forehead when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Lao Anren still asked about Auntie when she got up in the morning...... I'll be with you. ”

As she spoke, a woman who looked like a housekeeper's mother whispered.

Yuan thought for a while, and said to Mrs. Chu and Sister Zhou: "You go with me - her old man is the mother of Gu Meizhen, who is now the head of the Gu Mansion, and according to her generation, she is a generation higher than the old lady of our family. ”

The last sentence was told to Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin.

Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin whispered "yes".

Grandma Gu Qi came over and said with a smile: "Let's go over!" ”

Yuan smiled and nodded, and the group went up a road to the west.

Crossing the lake and the pavilion, they came to a secluded courtyard.

The people in the courtyard had apparently already received the letter, and there was a grandmother waiting for them at the door.

The grandmother greeted Yuan familiarly, and Yuan told them: "...... This is the most intimate person around Lao An, and his husband's surname is Miao. ”

Mrs. Chuda, Zhou Shaojin, and Zhou Chujin shouted with a smile.

"Torture the old slave!" Mama Miao turned sideways to avoid them, said a few words to them modestly, and led them into the courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, small and exquisite, and the servants are middle-aged.

Lao Anren was full of white hair, in good spirits, smiling lovingly, and happily sat on the Arhat bed and received their salutes, and let them bring them a stool to sit on.

The Yuan family greeted the old lady Guo on behalf of the old man.

The old man was a little unhappy and said, "Why didn't she come herself?" Do you want you to help her pass the word? ”

Mrs. Guo is a widow, and today is the sixteenth lady of the Gu family, so she naturally has to avoid it.

But this cannot be said in front of the old man - when the old man is old, he will be like a child, and he will not be reasonable. If you say that, it will only make the old man unhappy.

"It was meant to come." Yuan said with a smile, "But two days ago, the pavilion of the fourth uncle's algae garden suddenly collapsed, and our old lady was so worried that she went to the algae garden early in the morning. On Miss Sixteen's side, she was only wronged. When she gets married, the old lady and I will come over earlier and add boxes to Miss Sixteen. ”

Zhou Shaojin was stunned.

Is there such an excuse?

Said that someone's pavilion collapsed!

But what's going on with this algae garden?

Isn't it a rule in a big family that private property is not allowed?

Why does it seem that everyone knows about it, but still doesn't think about it?

She muttered in her heart, but saw that Lao Anren was not only relieved, but also took it for granted, and said continuously: "That's what you have to see, it's what you have to see." Then he asked with concern, "Is Shiro okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Yuan Shi said repeatedly, "The fourth uncle was in the mansion at that time!" ”

"That's good, that's good!" Lao Anren listened with a face full of happiness and sighed, "None of you are filial piety. Shiro came to see me two days ago! Brought me lotus seed cake. It is said to be a tribute in the palace. Very delicious! ”

Uncle Chi actually bought something to honor Gu Lao'an!

Zhou Shaojin thought about Cheng Chi's appearance and couldn't believe it.

It turns out that Uncle Chi and the Gu family have such a good relationship?

Why didn't Gu Jiuzhen save the Cheng family in his previous life?

Maybe Gu Jiuzhen once ran for the Cheng family, but he didn't succeed.

She pondered in her mind.

Lao Anren had already pointed at Mama Miao, the corners of her mouth were twitching, and she said after a while: "Who is that, you go and put a few pieces of lotus seed cake that Shiro gave me for them to taste." ”

It seems that I can't remember what to call Mama Miao for a while.

Mama Miao didn't care, smiled in response, and turned around and went to the tea room next to her.

Lao An said: "I like to eat lotus seed cake when I was a child. But at that time, the nurse was in charge of it tightly and didn't let her eat more, saying that she was fat if she ate too much, and it was not easy to marry if she was fat. When I married into the Gu family, I was the great-granddaughter-in-law, and I was afraid that others would laugh at me, so I still didn't dare to eat it...... Later, when I became a wife, everyone looked at me, and I didn't dare to eat it......"

Everyone laughed and listened to Lao An's chatter.

Mama Miao came in with pastries.

The snow-white lotus seed paste is made into a lotus shape, with a red dot in the middle, and the appearance is very ordinary.

Lao An urged them: "Eat and eat, is it better than Qi Fangzhai - I think it's better than Qi Fangzhai!" ”

Mama Miao glanced at everyone and asked the little maid to fetch water and come in.

As soon as they cleaned their hands, one of them took a piece of lotus seed cake. Before he could eat it in his mouth, Lao An couldn't wait to say, "Isn't it delicious?" Better than Qi Fangzhai! ”

Everyone said that it was better than Qi Fangzhai.

Lao An laughed.

And they ate the lotus seed cake.

It is indeed better than Qi Fangzhai, sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not depressed.

Zhou Shaojin finished eating the pastry and motioned to the maid to take a handkerchief and clean her hands.

Lao Anren suddenly pointed at her and said, "Who is this?" Why do I look so kind? ”

Zhou Shaojin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Yuan Shi had introduced her with a smile: "...... The second lady of the Zhou family on Pingqiao Street. ”

"No, no!" Lao Anren shook his head, his expression was confused, and he beckoned to Zhou Shaojin, "Come here, let me see." ”

Zhou Shaojin's heart was pounding, and he took a deep breath, and then walked over with a smile.

Lao Anren took her hand.

The white hands were wrinkled, but warm and dry.

She looked Zhou Shaojin up and down, and muttered, "That's not right...... Why is it so small...... The body should be taller than Nineteen Niang......"

Mama Miao hurriedly explained to them in a low voice: "Nineteen Niang is the youngest daughter of our old lady...... He passed away ten years ago. I'm afraid the old ancestor has recognized the wrong person......"

Zhou Shaojin is rarely beautiful, even if he recognizes the wrong person, the other party must have considerable beauty...... The nineteen mothers of the Gu family, are they very beautiful?

Why haven't you heard of it?

Both Yuan and Mrs. Chu were secretly worried in their hearts.

Zhou Shaojin understood a little in his heart.

Many people say that she looks like her mother.

Nine times out of ten, Gu Lao'an mistook her for her mother.

She glanced at Mrs. Chuda.

Mrs. Chuda was a little ignorant.

She glanced at her sister again.

Zhou Chujin was looking at her nervously.

Zhou Shaojin's somewhat apprehensive heart settled down.

She smiled and said: "My great-grandmother is afraid that she recognizes me as my mother--my grandfather and the twelfth master of the Gu Mansion are confidants, it is said that before my mother got married, my maternal grandfather took her to live in the Gu family for some days, I think he came to visit my great-grandmother......"

Grandma Gu Qi and Yuan and the others were still at a loss,

Mama Miao exclaimed in a low voice and laughed: "I just said why do you look so familiar?" I thought that the beauties are all the same, but I didn't expect that the second miss was the granddaughter of the old lady of the Zhuang family! Miss Banker, that is also a stunning woman. We didn't think of it for a while. ”
