Chapter 121: The Man of the Gu Family
When Gu Jinrong came back, almost an hour had passed, and even though Ah Xiu had been standing by Pei Yan's side, she hadn't noticed it, let alone Gu Jinrong, who had never appeared.
Ah Xiu saw that Gu Jinrong's face was a little weird, so he looked at her twice, Gu Jinrong smiled at Ah Xiu, and the look on his face became a lot more natural.
And after Pei Yan almost swept all the high-grade cloths in the cloth village, he finally had the energy to pay attention to them.
"Miss, you're back breathing."
Did she think it had only been a quarter of an hour, it had already been an hour!
And Ah Xiu greeted her when she just came back, but unfortunately she didn't feel at ease at all.
"yes, how's your pick?" Gu Jinrong asked with a smile, and when she saw her excited appearance, she knew that the receipt should be very large.
"Almost, before you weren't there, I took the initiative to pick a few colors for you." Pei Yan said and pointed to the pomegranate red and violet put aside, "This is for Ah Xiu, she has white skin, she must look good in this, and this and this are for you." ”
Pei Yan looked very excited when he talked about the fabrics he chose.
"It's all beautiful."
Ah Xiu and Gu Jinrong both boasted, and sure enough, the smile on Pei Yan's face was even brighter.
When he was in the carriage, Pei Yan was still chattering about the newly bought fabrics, and he couldn't wait to hold them in person.
Gu Jinrong smiled apologetically at Ah Xiu and said softly, "I originally said that I was going to take you to eat haggis soup." ”
When Ah Xiu first arrived in the capital alone, she couldn't take care of her just now. I couldn't help but feel a little indebted.
"It's okay, I've already eaten it anyway." Ah Xiu shook his head, and he ate two bowls of it, and now his stomach is warm.
"His lamb chops are a must, did you just eat them?" Gu Jinrong saw that Ah Xiu looked satisfied, and knew that she had not treated herself badly, and she was immediately relieved.
"Nope." Ah Xiu shook his head.
"Then next time you can try it, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and there will be a little juice when you bite into it." I can eat two servings by myself. Gu Jinrong said with a smile. I don't feel that as a lady, there is nothing to be ashamed of eating so much at once.
"Not next time." Ah Xiu said and handed a paper bag to Gu Jinrong: "It's a pity that it's a little cold." ”
As soon as Gu Jinrong opened it, he saw that it was the lamb chops he had just said. My heart suddenly moved.
"Huh. How can there be a smell of mutton on a carriage? Pei Yan, who had been immersed in the joy of making new clothes, also smelled the fragrance slowly.
"There are lamb chops here. Do you want to eat a little too? Gu Jinrong put the paper bag on the small table in the carriage.
"Which lamb chops are this?" Pei Yan took a bite and ate it immediately.
She followed Gu Jinrong, and naturally went to eat.
"You've got a great mouth." Gu Jinrong said with a smile. His eyes glanced over to Ah Xiu.
"Hee-hee." Pei Yan smiled and ate another piece.
The two masters and servants are like little sisters, and they are not like ordinary young ladies, they are much more open-minded no matter what they say and do.
When he returned to the General's Mansion, the first thing Pei Yan did was to follow the fabric to the warehouse.
This made Ah Xiu and Gu Jinrong laugh when they saw it.
Ah Xiu thought, Pei Yan's temperament is what a young girl should have......
They went back to the house, and in the afternoon, Ah Xiu accompanied the old lady and Dr. Tang to talk for a while.
When it was time for dinner, Ah Xiu followed the maid to the living room.
Today is rare, Gu Jingling, a busy person, is also there.
In the past few days, he has been busy with other things, and Ah Xiu has been in the General's Mansion for several days, and he has not seen anyone else.
"Ah Xiu, you sit here, Ah Ling, you sit next to Ah Xiu." The old lady casually pointed to two positions.
Ah Xiu glanced at Gu Jingling, and saw that he didn't look at himself, but sat down by himself, so he sat down according to the old lady's wishes.
You must know that although the general's mansion is informal, it is a little particular about seating.
Lao Taijun is naturally the first, and the people who have been sitting on the right hand side are the general Zhenguo, and on the left hand side, the people who usually sit are the old Taijun's favorite children.
In recent years, it has been Gu Xiaobao.
The rest of the seats are free to sit on their own.
Now she deliberately let Ah Xiu sit in that position, what does it mean......
And Gu Xiaobao saw that his throne was sat on, his mouth was deflated, and he went to his mother's side to seek comfort.
Mrs. Gu glanced at the old lady's arrangement, and a trace of thought flashed in her heart, but she just looked at Ah Xiu's eyes with something more.
During the meal, the old lady asked a few questions casually, and saw that Ah Xiu and Gu Jingling were eating silently, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"Ah Ling, Ah Xiu saved your life before, have you ever thanked someone?"
At the mention of this, Ah Xiu and Gu Jingling's bodies stiffened slightly.
Especially Gu Jingling, her entire handsome face was darkened.
He will never forget in his life that he was only worth three taels of silver that time.
"Thank you." Gu Jingling gritted her teeth and said.
It would be good if the old lady didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, he suddenly looked at Ah Xiu a little unpleasantly.
"General Gu is a polite person, so naturally he will not forget the grace of saving his life." Ah Xiu, who was sitting next to Gu Jingling, could feel the change in his breath very well.
Looking back now, it seems that my three taels of silver were a little too much.
No matter how you say it, you have to charge ten taels, presumably if this is the case, he shouldn't be so uncomfortable in retrospect now.
However, in order to prevent him from settling accounts after the fall, Ah Xiu said that just now.
After all, in the capital, she is just a helpless little pitiful, if General Gu wants to give her small shoes to wear, she will not sit still.
Sure enough, when Gu Jingling heard Ah Xiu's words, her face became even more gloomy.
He used to think that although this woman had a bad temperament, at least she was a good doctor. And when he was in the barracks, she did help him a lot.
His original impression of her bad has almost been reversed.
Listening to her say this now, sure enough, his initial feeling was correct.
He and she are definitely not the same kind of people.
Gu Jingling felt that she must keep her distance in the future, so as not to be angry to death if she was not careful.
"Although Ah Ling's temper is not very good, her nature is still not bad." The old lady said slowly.
She still doesn't know the temper of her grandson, because there are few children in the family, although he has followed his father in the military camp since he was a child, but the family is still more or less spoiled.
Everyone thinks that General Gu Jingling is young and promising, and his heroic spirit is extraordinary. But she knew it. He was even more naïve than the average teenager.
"Grandmother!" Gu Jingling shouted, there are very few intrigues in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and in the general mansion, they are all called grandmothers. But the Gu family is generally affectionate and affectionate, called "grandma".
And Gu Jingling's ability to call him "grandmother" now means that he is a little annoyed.
"Good, good. Grandma didn't say anything. Grandma remembers that you like to eat honey barbecue, come and eat more. The old lady looked at Gu Jingling with a smile as if she were coaxing a child. He doesn't take his emotions seriously at all.
"I don't like sweets now." Gu Jingling said that she didn't eat the honey barbecue, but the lettuce with chopsticks.
The old lady just looked at him, smiled and said nothing.
The men of this Gu family are all carnivores, and they naturally like to eat meat, not vegetables.
When Gu Jingling was young, he had to coax him to eat vegetables with candied fruit every day.
She didn't believe it, but in just a few years, he could change such a habit.
"Little Bora, eat more meat and grow faster." Although the old lady thinks that Gu Jingling, who has such a temperament now, is also quite funny, she doesn't dare to go too far.
After all, the child is older and has a temper, if she is really annoyed, is it difficult for her to pull down this old face to coax?
Gu Xiaobao was still complaining about his grandmother's "liking the new and hating the old", but now that he found that his grandmother still remembered him, he suddenly became smiling again, and happily ate a big chicken leg.
"Xiaobao, come, eat some food, don't just eat meat." Mrs. Gu sandwiched an eggplant with chopsticks.
In order to let the men of the Gu family eat more vegetables, Mrs. Gu spent a lot of money and specially invited several chefs who are good at cooking vegetarian dishes.
The vegetarian dishes on the Gu family's dinner table are also more elaborate than meat dishes.
Rao is like this, these dishes are also rarely interested.
"Xiaobao loves meat!" Although Gu Xiaobao obediently ate the eggplant with a small chopstick, he did not forget to emphasize it in his mouth.
"Okay, well, eat a little more, and I'll give you meat." As she spoke, Mrs. Gu motioned to the maid waiting next to her to give Gu Xiaobao a vegetable.
"A little less, a little less." Gu Xiaobao couldn't sit still when she saw that the maid had a big chopstick, and kept talking to her to put it back a little more.
"This man of the Gu family, it is really the same." The old lady glanced at Gu Jingling, who was slowly eating lettuce, and after a pause, he said slowly: "Your father was like this back then, I let him eat some food, it was like killing him, he knew how to eat meat every day, but fortunately, it took a lot of effort in the military camp, otherwise it would not be a ball now!" ”
General Zhenguo is not as naïve as Gu Jingling, after all, he is an adult man, he just smiled and said: "This was all decades ago, mother, don't laugh at me." ”
However, he saw that the old lady was rarely so happy today, and he was also very sober, and he was actually very happy in his heart.
If only she had been like this all the time.
"Who told you to always set a bad example for the children, love sweets, love meat, this man who cares about the family is really carved out of the mold in this aspect.
As a member of the "Gu family man", Gu Jingling's face turned red imperceptibly.
The old lady naturally noticed this, and the smile on her face deepened. (To be continued......)
