Chapter XXVI
Thank you for the reward of Tingyuan after the rain, thank you for your support!
The deep admiration in the voice and the cautious and pitiful expression that wanted to be close but were afraid of rejection, Gu Qingjin could depict it without looking at it.
Gu Qingjin wondered if she should go in at this time, but destroying people's recognition of their ancestors and returning to their ancestors was to be cursed by drawing circles behind her back, thinking like this, she didn't move under her feet, and still stood quietly.
Then I heard my grandmother Shen's voice with a faint smile: "Yao girl, she is also a lovely person, and she will get along with her sisters in the future." ”
"Yes, grandmother." The crisp and sweet voice was full of the joy of being recognized, the corners of Qing Jin's mouth were slightly hooked, and then the deep male voice from before spoke again: "My son's daughter-in-law will be filial to you when she returns to the house this time, and she has not completed her filial piety for more than ten years." ”
"What the master said is that I hope my mother will not dislike her daughter-in-law's stupidity." This time it was the woman's voice of deference and humility.
"I'm still handsome, the third family has always been filial piety, how can I be stupid? Talk to me every day, and play leaf cards in your spare time. ”
"Mother, son and third brother still have something to do, let Xinyue and the third brother and sister stay with you for a while." Gu Qingjin's father, Gu Huaili, who exported this time.
"Go, go, business matters."
"She has been away from Beijing for more than ten years, and if there is something wrong, I hope my sister-in-law will forgive her." The deep male voice from before sounded again.
"The third brother is too worried, what else do we have to say?" This time it was the voice of the Jun clan that Qing Jin was most familiar with.
After that, there was the sound of footsteps walking out, and Gu Qingjin stood under the porch without hiding when she heard the footsteps.
Looking at the middle-aged man with a strong figure and steady steps who walked out first, Qing Jin knew that this was her third uncle Gu Huaiyi.
When Gu Huaiyi lifted the curtain and walked out, she saw a girl in a strange style of red, followed by a little maid who looked like a maid standing quietly opposite, such a flamboyant and wanton red, it should be the eldest brother's daughter who is said to be a "genius", her appearance is not bad, but look at the big red of the girl in front of her, it is too gorgeous and strong, her brows are slightly wrinkled, the girl should still be like his Yao'er, sweet and cute, look at the sleeves of the girl in front of her, they are about to mop the floor.
At this time, Gu Huaili also came out, and saw Gu Qingjin standing outside, "Jin'er, why are you standing here?" I heard that you were sick some time ago, are you getting better now? ”
Looking at the thin figure who walked out of the grandmother's room behind, the elegant and elegant father Gu, hearing Gu Huaili's question, Qing Jin said respectfully: "Thank you father for your concern, my daughter is all right, my daughter knows from my subordinates that the third uncle, the third aunt and the fourth sister have arrived home today, and I think everyone should be here with my grandmother, so I came over, and as soon as I arrived, I heard footsteps coming out, and I was afraid of colliding, so I stood here and waited first." ”
Gu Huaili nodded with satisfaction when he heard Qing Jin's words, pointed to Gu Huaiyi next to him and said: "This is your third uncle, Jin'er shouldn't have seen your third uncle, come and see your third uncle!" ”
Gu Qingjin nodded, of course she had seen it a long time ago, and she was still very familiar with it in her previous life, but she still pretended to see it for the first time, moved her eyes to Gu Huaiyi next to her, and then saluted decently, "Third uncle, niece Qingjin has asked you to say goodbye." ”
"You are the eldest brother's daughter-in-law, Qingjin?"
"Yes, Third Uncle." Gu Qingjin replied calmly with a light smile.
Gu Huaiyi looked at the girl in front of her who was the same size as her daughter and replied without being frightened or frightened by the majesty exuded by her, and she was not shocked by the humiliation, somehow, she saw a kind of high-minded momentum on the girl in front of her, such a demeanor and style evoked memories that had been deeply buried in his memory, and his eyes became soft, "Qing Jin doesn't have to be polite, I'm the third uncle, Qing Jin is here to say hello to your grandmother?" ”
"Yes."
"I heard that the very popular Liuyun Pavilion in Beijing was founded by Qing Jin's niece, and the eldest brother really taught a good girl, unlike my family's Qing Yao, who is as big as Qing Jin, but she looks like a child all day long." There was obviously an appreciation for Qing Jin in his words.
"She has no ability as a child, it's just luck, the third brother should not praise her too much, and Qingyao's niece is also very annoying." Gu Huaili waved his hand indifferently when he heard Gu Huaiyi's words, but the smugness that bloomed at the corner of his eyebrows revealed his true thoughts.
"The third brother is telling the truth, by the way, Qingjin's niece hurry up and go into the house, your third aunt and your fourth sister are inside, and the third uncle and your father have left beforehand."
"Father walks slowly! The third uncle walks slowly! Qing Jin looked at the figure of Gu Huaili and Gu Huaiyi who walked out of the Chaoxia Courtyard, when the third uncle came out of the grandmother's house just now, he looked at her, obviously with a somewhat displeased expression, but later he obviously praised her, is this the so-called man's mind, don't you guess?
Gu Qingjin stood in place and thought for a moment, still unable to figure out why the third uncle's attitude suddenly changed, and after thinking to no avail, he didn't think much about it, shook his head and turned around to enter the house.
"Second sister--, wait for sister." A female voice came from behind her.
Gu Qingjin retracted her foot and turned her head, "Gu Qingxia? ”
"It's my sister, did the second sister just come? By the way, why hasn't the second sister come to Mr.'s class recently? Gu Qingxia said suspiciously after walking to Gu Qingjin's side, the gentlemen in the house who specially taught the girls and ladies to read and write were all invited by Gu Qingjin to grind her mother Gu, Gu Qingjin used to come very diligently, why didn't she come recently?
"It's nothing, it's just that I've been learning housekeeping from my mother recently." Gu Qingjin said truthfully.
Learning to be a housekeeper? Gu Qingxia looked suddenly enlightened when she heard Gu Qingjin's words, but there was hidden uncontrollable jealousy and unwillingness in her eyes, thinking of her aunt's words, Gu Qingxia suppressed the hidden jealousy and spoke again: "Why did the second sister suddenly learn these things?" Didn't the second sister use these things the most? Mr. has been praising his sister's handwriting for improving lately? It's a shame that my sister didn't go! ”
"Oh."
Hearing Gu Qingjin's simple word, Gu Qingxia, who deliberately showed off, was a little disappointed, in the past, Mr. praised Gu Qingjin, Gu Qingjin also thought very highly of herself, now Mr. finally praised herself, she deliberately praised her today with Mr. to show off, according to Gu Qingjin's previous disobedience to defeat, she would definitely refute and sarcastically mock her, and she could use the excuse to argue with Gu Qingjin loudly.
The third uncle and the third aunt just came back today, the third aunt should be in her grandmother's room at the moment, if she and Gu Qingjin argue, she can naturally make trouble in front of her grandmother, and say to her grandmother that Gu Qingjin bullied her sister, which also made the third aunt leave a bad impression on Gu Qingjin. The third aunt came back to see her grandmother on the first day today, and she would definitely leave a bad impression on Gu Qingjin, but she didn't expect that she would deliberately show off, so Gu Qingjin simply replied with a word, and then didn't say anything.
This is completely different from what my aunt expected, Gu Qingjin didn't argue with her and sarcastically mock her, how could this be?
