Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Old Madam Gu probably ran out of patience, even if she didn't even bother to persuade her, she hurriedly sent Gu Qingwan back to her yard.

Gu Qingwan thought about it all the way, but she couldn't figure out Old Madam Gu's intentions. Although the little Sun family can be said to be the niece of Mrs. Gu, she has not been close to Mrs. Gu's room since she was a child.

But now Mrs. Gu actually asked Gu Qingwan to treat the little Sun family as her mother-in-law, and said that it was for her good, the only thing Gu Qingwan could think of was that Mrs. Gu really wanted to be close to the Cao family.

Even though the wind in mid-spring brought a hint of warmth, Gu Qingwan also felt a chill down her spine at the moment.

From the moment she became the third girl, she knew that everything in this world was out of her own hands. Although the eldest girl and the second girl are the words of the matchmaker of their parents, they are not living like this now. The Gu family has raised three girls for more than ten years, so naturally they will not belittle her alone. Therefore, as long as she is not too out of line, she is resigned to fate.

Moreover, with the reputation of the third girl, it is not easy for those elders of the Gu family to find a suitable family in Beijing.

If this Cao Di is not Xiao Sun's nephew, it is a good choice in terms of family background and personal background. At least Cao Di is a talent now, I heard that his knowledge is not bad, if he wins the move in the future and the support of the Gu family on the side, the future is still good. Moreover, if the Gu family and the Cao family are related, Gu Qingwan can be regarded as a low marriage, and her mother's family will be more confident in the future.

"Girl......" Waiting for Gu Qingwan to remove the cloak on her body, she had just entered the back room and sat down, and Taozhi saw that the laurel leaf had opened the curtain and went out to pass the water, so she came to Gu Qingwan's side.

Gu Qingwan had long noticed that Taozhi had come back from Tansong Courtyard, and she seemed to be a little uneasy. It's just that she also thinks about the meaning of Old Madam Gu's actions, how can she bother to pay attention to Taozhi.

"I have something to say to the girl." Taozhi paused, glanced out of the curtain again, and then said softly, "When the girl was talking to the old lady in the house, I was a little difficult to wait in the compartment alone, so I went out of the house to find Peony and talk to Furong. ”

The peach branch, peony, and hibiscus entered the house together, although it was not very good, it was still okay to talk and laugh and pass the time.

Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows, then lowered her head again, and there was no change on her face.

Momozhi suddenly panicked: "I went to Peony and Furong's house, and before I knocked on the door, I heard the two of them talking, and I heard that the words seemed to be talking about the girl, so I hid under the window and listened secretly." ”

"yes, what did you hear?"

Seeing Gu Qingwan's uninterested look, Taozhi took two steps forward: "I heard Peony say that a few days ago, when the second lady was serving the decoction in front of the old lady, she mentioned the girl's family affairs to the old lady. Listening to the meaning of their words, the second lady wants to be close to the Cao family, and it is the young master who came to Tansong Courtyard today to ask the old lady for peace. ”

Gu Qingwan frowned, and reprimanded softly: "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, I think you heard it wrong, it may not be." ”

Momozhi was anxious: "Girl, I heard it clearly. I also heard Peony and Fleur say that when Aunt Cao came to visit the patient, she also mentioned this matter to the old lady, and said that the old lady was afraid that she also had such a meaning. ”

From the last time Mrs. Gu left Aunt Cao three points of affection, Gu Qingwan could see Mrs. Gu's attitude, the Cao family was mostly a spare tire in Mrs. Gu's heart.

But what Gu Qingwan didn't understand was that Aunt Cao wanted to be close to the Gu family, and it was true that this little Sun family had in mind? Xiao Sun's family doesn't value the sisterhood with Aunt Cao, the key is that if Cao Di is married to the Gu family, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. In Gu Qingwan's heart, Xiao Sun, who has killed the original concubine for many years, is afraid that he does not have such good intentions.

Gu Qingwan sighed, could it be that she was really thinking too much?

It's just that the third girl has been unpleasant to Xiao Sun all these years, and for someone like Gu Qingwan who has developed a habit of protecting herself, she is definitely not afraid to speculate on Xiao Sun with the worst malice.

"If the old lady and the second lady really plan to do this, wouldn't they be wronged by the dead girl, the girl is the daughter of the second room of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, so what kind of family is the Cao family, and they are also worthy of proposing to our house." Momozhi stomped her foot, her tone full of unwillingness.

Gu Qingwan came back from her contemplation and looked at Taozhi, her eyes scraping her face like a knife. She didn't speak, just stared straight at it, and Momozhi stood for a long time, until she felt her legs tremble a little.

"You also said that I am the concubine of the second room, how can a family like the Cao family be related to our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, maybe you heard it wrong." After that, Gu Qingwan glanced at Taozhi meaningfully, "In the future, don't let me hear such words outside, otherwise ......"

Taozhi immediately knelt down: "Even the slave maid is bold, and she doesn't dare to make up such words." A few days ago, when I went to the second lady's house to collect blood swallows according to the girl's wishes, I also heard the maid in the yard mention it. The slave just wanted to remind the girl, so that the girl knew that if the old lady really made up her mind, it would be too late at that time. ”

Gu Qingwan smiled softly, in the end, it was Jinhuitang involved.

Although Peony and Hibiscus are both joking, it must not be easy to be promoted to the position of a first-class maid in Tansong Courtyard. Gu Qingwan had seen them talking with Old Madam Gu, although they were very simple, they were cautious in every word. How could such two people talk about the family affairs of the girl in the house in the house in a grand manner when they have not yet skimmed the eight characters?

Besides, since she is the girl of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, everyone naturally wants to give full play to the value of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and Mrs. Gu can't look down on the Cao family's family background, the Cao family is just her worst choice.

Gu Qingwan had one thing in common, and if Old Madam Gu persuaded her today, she must have made the worst choice. She felt that she had wronged Gu Qingwan, so she had a slightly kind admonition and persuasion.

However, with Old Madam Gu's city government, I am afraid that she will only play Tai Chi with the Cao family and the Xiaosun family, so how can she express her intention in front of the peony family.

Old Madam Gu had such a salty and indifferent attitude, Xiao Sun and Aunt Cao were naturally anxious when they saw it. The old lady didn't have a letter from her, no wonder Xiao Sun wanted to start from her.

As long as Gu Qingwan's brain heats up when she hears the news, she makes a fuss about this matter in front of Old Madam Gu, and Xiao Sun's family pushes the boat down the river, and the uncertainty in Old Madam Gu's heart will become possible. Replaced by the previous three girls, it is really possible to kill directly in Tansong Courtyard and let Mrs. Gu give an explanation, Gu Cunke just understands Gu Qingwan's temperament, and will hurriedly come to enlighten Gu Qingwan after hearing the rumors.

Such news can only come out of Jinhuitang, and it was specially told to her by Xiao Sun's mouth through Taozhi's mouth.

Xiao Sun's impatience to promote this family affair strengthened Gu Qingwan's thoughts, this Cao family must have a problem.

Although she thinks that marrying anyone is the same, she can't jump into it knowing that Lu Dao is a pit. Gu Qingwan glanced at Taozhi, and then said, "Okay, I know everything you said." In this way, don't you have a good personal relationship with a few maids in Jinhuitang, and you will find them to do needlework and talk these days, listen more and talk less, and report to me one by one when you come back. ”

Momozhi was relieved in her heart, and the third girl asked her to inquire about the information, and she still believed her.

As he was talking, he saw Guiye come in with refreshments, and Gu Qingwan took the opportunity to say: "You are not in Yuanxiang Pavilion during the day, so give the key to the box to Guiye these days, otherwise it will be inconvenient for me to take things." ”

Gui Ye paused for a moment, and walked to Gu Qingwan's side as usual⊙ the tray was placed in front of Gu Qingwan, and after pouring the tea, he retreated behind Gu Qingwan and stood quietly.

Taozhi's face was already pale, she looked at the laurel leaf behind Gu Qingwan, and wanted to rush up to fight.

She gritted her teeth, pondered the meaning of Gu Qingwan's words, and said aggrievedly: "What does the girl mean, has the key to the cage been given to Guiye Guan these days?" ”

Gu Qingwan nodded as a matter of course: "Naturally, otherwise you go outside, wouldn't it be possible that I will make a special trip to let you come back when I open the box?" ”

Taozhi comforted himself again, and then he barely squeezed out a smile: "Then I'll give Guiye a tube in the next few days." After a while, he took off the key from his waist, and almost slapped the key in Guiye's hand, "I have picked up all the things in the cage, if it is messed up, I will have to clean it up again, you have to pay attention to it." ”

Guiye nodded, but did not answer.

Taozhi glanced at Guiye unwillingly, and then reluctantly let go: "The box on the left has jewelry, the small box on the right is the silver of the month, and the first layer of the jewelry box is jade, but don't break it......"

Mr. Zero explained a lot, until Gu Qingwan got up a little impatiently and walked out, Taozhi glanced at the laurel leaf and followed Gu Qingwan to the outer room.

Gu Qingwan has only gone to Mrs. Gu's place in the past few days, but Xiao Sun's place only goes once a day, and the rest of the time, she naturally wants to finish copying the "Family Motto" a hundred times.

Taozhi was not there during the day, and the maids in Yuanxiang Pavilion seemed to be relieved, but Gu Qingwan could often hear the laughter of the maids outside the window.

Taozhi lives up to expectations, and must bring a lot of news back every day∪ such as Aunt Cao and Xiao Sun are very good, and Aunt Cao will come to Fuzhong every few days; For example, Mr. Gong values Cao Di very much, saying that his articles are very good; For example, the sixth girl went to Jinhuitang very diligently these days, and some time ago she dragged the seventh girl with her, but the seventh girl was sick these days, and she was still lying on the bed and couldn't break the medicine, and now she has become the sixth girl alone.

After going for five or six days in a row, Gu Qingwan saw that the time was almost up, so she instructed Taozhi not to be so diligent in the future.

In a blink of an eye, it was the flower dynasty, the red and purple were thousands of splendor, after a spring rain, the flowers in the garden of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion bloomed a lot. The eldest lady saw that Mrs. Gu was always a little worried after recovering from her serious illness, so she put spring wine in her yard, and invited Mrs. Gu and the ladies and girls in each room to drink spring wine and enjoy flowers in her yard.

The eldest lady lives naturally in the Humble Administrator's Hall, the main house of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, out of the Humble Administrator's Hall to the east more than 100 steps, is the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion with the best scenery of the garden. This Yiyuan Garden was repaired when the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was just built, and later the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion continued to expand, that is, the garden also built a lot, but none of the scenery can compare with the Yiyuan.

It's not that there is no one who came later, it's just that after the big house attacked the lord, the eldest lady took care of Yiyuan very seriously. The garden piled up with silver money is naturally not comparable to other places in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Yiyuan and the Humble Administrator's Hall are adjacent to each other, and only the people from the Humble Administrator's Hall go around in Suri, as if all the people in this house have a tacit understanding that Yiyuan is the private property of the big house.
