Gui Ye felt that since she had made a decision with Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan's attitude towards her had become more casual. It should be said that Gu Qingwan was not as defensive against her as before. It's just that she doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

On the second day, he sent Taozhi to Jinhuitang to pick up things, and before Taozhi came back, the lilacs in Jinhuitang came to pass the word, but only said that Xiao Sun asked her to go to Jinhuitang for a trip, and then left in a hurry.

Gu Qingwan glanced at Gui Ye, and then motioned for her to go with her.

When she arrived at Jinhuitang, Gu Qingwan found that she was the only one who was there, that is, even the fifth girl, Gu Qingyan.

And Xiao Sun was sitting on the first seat and talking to a fat woman who looked rich: "I originally wanted to wait for the second girl in our house to come out of the pavilion, and then trouble the shopkeeper Hong to come over, but my sister-in-law thinks that the Zhou family will come to raise the dowry tomorrow, and then she will go out of the cabinet and return to the door, but she will be busy for a while, and she will not be able to get the new clothes out before the old lady's birthday." ”

"It doesn't matter, the eldest lady and the second lady can read us, but it is a blessing for our splendid workshop." The woman laughed as she spoke, and her voice was very loud in the quiet Jinhui Hall, "This material was just arrived in Beijing last night, and it was sent directly to your house before it was put into storage." ”

Gu Qingwan stood by the door and watched for a while, and then she understood the reason why Xiao Sun invited her to come, but she didn't expect that Xiao Sun even had to put such a small matter on her. According to the third girl's original temper, Lilac's words were unclear, and Gu Qingwan would never go on this trip.

Xiao Sun's estimate is that after Gu Qingwan picks the rest of others, he will make a good fuss again. It's just that the reason for the incident is that Gu Qingwan heard Xiao Sun's words but refused to come over, so she made trouble in front of Old Madam Gu, and as a result, Gu Qingwan suffered a loss.

Seeing that they stopped talking, Gu Qingwan saw that she had caught up with the stitches, and bowed to Xiao Sun's family: "I've seen Mrs., Sister Lilac came and went in a hurry, but I don't know why my mother called me over." ”

"It's just for you to choose a material, if there's anything you want to see, just leave it." Xiao Sun paused for a moment, then pointed to the materials on the table, and asked Gu Qingwan to go over and take a look.

The shopkeeper Hong squinted his eyes and glanced at Gu Qingwan, and then said to Xiao Sun with a smile: "This is the fifth girl in your house, looking at it is a person with Zhong Lingyuxiu, and the second lady is a blessed person at a glance." ”

Xiao Sun's face did not change, she glanced at Gu Qingwan, who didn't seem to hear this, and felt a little regretful, so she said softly: "Shopkeeper Hong has recognized the wrong person, this is the third girl in our house." ”

Someone who often came to the house before was another female shopkeeper of Jinxiufang, a lean woman surnamed Qian, who was naturally familiar with the girls of the Gu family. This shopkeeper Hong was the first time to go to the door of the Gu family, but he didn't expect to put this oolong, but he didn't dare to say anything else, just led Gu Qingwan to look at the material.

Gu Qingwan glanced at Xiao Sun, and saw that she was sitting on the side with a smile on her face, and she didn't seem to plan to interject, so she chose herself.

As soon as Shopkeeper Hong wanted to speak, she saw Xiao Sun shaking his head at her, and she immediately remembered what Shopkeeper Qian had said to her before.

"The ladies and girls of the Gu family are all good-tempered, but there is one thing, the three girls in their house are temperamental. When she picks the material, you pretend to be dumb, just wait for her to ask, you just have to talk, don't say anything else. ”

Shopkeeper Hong shuddered when he thought of the expression on the face of the shopkeeper when he said these words. She thought that this material must have been picked by the Gu family's ladies first, and then it was the girls' turn, but who knew that Mrs. Lu Dao only glanced at it and said that the color of this batch of materials was too bright, and it was better to choose it for the girls in the house, and they waited for the next batch.

This made her touch the thorn in the house for the first time, and Shopkeeper Hong couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart.

Even if she had never been to the Gu family, she also knew that the three girls of the Gu family were very difficult to serve. This time, it was the money shopkeeper who had to take care of the batch of materials that had just arrived in Beijing, so she was asked to replace her. If these three girls disrupt this business, she will not have the opportunity to go to other mansions in the future.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Hong cheered up, the smile on his face became more and more obvious, and his two eyes were bent to the point that he couldn't see.

Gu Qingwan looked at it once, but she couldn't see the reason. During the more than a month she was grounded, she read a related book to pass the time, but the words are not as vivid as the patterns after all.

She stopped to look at Shopkeeper Hong, and didn't speak, but shocked Shopkeeper Hong into a cold sweat.

This batch of materials is mainly Shu brocade and Suzhou Song brocade, Shu brocade in addition to the past there are square brocade, paving brocade, scattered flower brocade, Huanhua brocade, color halo brocade, this time there are a few more rain silk brocade and Yuehua brocade. This batch of materials has just arrived in Beijing, and the girl is the first to pick it, so the patterns are complete. Shopkeeper Hong understood what Gu Qingwan meant, and hurriedly shook off the material and said.

"If the girl doesn't like to be too flamboyant, this Song brocade is more elegant, and the heavy brocade, fine color brocade, and box brocade are all complete."

Gu Qingwan thought about it for a while, but felt that Shopkeeper Hong didn't say these words, so she didn't listen to her anymore. She didn't care much about these either, since she could get it to the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, it was naturally good. She touched the touch under her hand, and ordered a few horses of material.

Xiao Sun glanced at it, and his face immediately became not very good-looking.

Gu Qingwan not only chose the least common rain silk brocade and Yuehua brocade in Beijing, but also picked the silk that she had taken a fancy to before and was going to leave for Gu Qingyan to make clothes. Although there are still two horses left in these materials, the red color is not as bright as the rain silk brocade selected by Gu Qingwan, and the plain ones are not as light and elegant as Yuehua brocade. If it is really made to wear it out with Gu Qingwan, this is called humiliation.

Xiao Sun glanced at Shopkeeper Hong hatefully, in previous years, when Shopkeeper Qian was there, there had never been such a situation. Although Gu Qingwan was messing around, she didn't suffer a loss on the surface and secretly didn't get a benefit.

Gu Qingwan saw that Xiao Sun's face was as usual, so she smiled and said, "Since it is going to be made before my grandmother's birthday, I guess the time is a little rushed." When I sent the clothes and styles to me to choose, I had to tell those embroiderers not to waste such a good material in vain, otherwise I would not follow. ”

Xiao Sun smiled reluctantly, and then heard Gu Qingwan say: "Mrs. hurry up and let the fifth sister come over and take a look, I still have to go to the old lady to have a look, so I will leave first." After saying that, she saluted, and really took the laurel leaf in the direction of Tansong Temple.

Xiao Sun sighed, and glanced at the shopkeeper Hong, who was obviously a little flustered, with an indescribable disgust in his eyes: "That's it, put away the few horses that the third girl values is important." She instructed Lilac, but at the end she was a little uneasy, and said in Lilac's ear, "Forget it, you go directly to the embroidery room, be careful not to let Yan'er see it." ”

Lilac and Poria beside Xiao Sun glanced at each other, and then called the two little maids to come and go to the embroidery room with the materials selected by Gu Qingwan.

Everyone in this house knows that the third girl is not easy to serve, but the maids in Jinhuitang feel that this is not the case. Although the three girls are messing around, they are upright and tendonous, and they often forget about it after the seizure. But the fifth girl has been held in the palm of the second lady since she was a child, and she has not suffered any grievances.

If the fifth girl knows that the third girl chooses a good one in front of her, she will not be relentless. At that time, the lady felt sorry for the five girls and couldn't bear to scold her, and the maids in their Jinhui Hall would suffer.

Xiao Sun rubbed the corners of her forehead with a headache, she felt that after Gu Qingwan came out grounded, she would obviously have to work harder to deal with Gu Qingwan. Xiao Sun's mind vaguely floated the appearance of the He family, and he couldn't help but feel some hatred in his heart. Sure enough, it was a mother and daughter, and it was really printed in a mold.

"Ask the fifth girl to come over, wait another quarter of an hour, and then call the fourth, sixth, and seventh girls together." Xiao Sun instructed, and Poria next to him looked at Xiao Sun's appearance, and hurriedly ordered the maid to bring new tea up.

It is said that Gu Qingwan didn't see Taozhi in Jinhuitang, but she didn't pay attention to it anymore, and only took the laurel leaves to the Tansong Courtyard.

At this hour, Old Madam Gu had just woken up from a short break, and it was the time for her spirits to be full. In the past, Gu Qingyan accompanied Mrs. Gu to talk at this hour, but now Gu Qingyan is choosing materials in Jinhuitang, how can she still want to get Mrs. Gu.

When Gu Qingwan arrived, Mrs. Gu was half-lying on the couch, and the jade plate on the side was holding a copy of the Lotus Sutra and reading softly.

Gu Qingwan waited on the side for a while, only then did she see that Old Lady Gu shook her hand and opened her eyes, and the voice of the jade plate stopped.

"Three girls, why did you come here at this hour." Now that it is not time to ask for peace, Gu Qingwan came over at this time, presumably she had suffered some "grievances" and asked her to "uphold justice". Old Lady Gu thought of Gu Qingwan's past, and she felt a little irritable.

If Gu Qingshu hadn't been saying good things in front of her, she would have planned to ban Gu Qingwan's feet all the time. After Gu Qingya came out of the cabinet, she said goodbye to Gu Qingwan and got married directly, out of sight and out of mind.

Gu Qingwan naturally understood the old lady's thoughts, so she smiled and said, "The granddaughter thought that the old lady was in good spirits at this hour, so she came to talk to the old lady to relieve her boredom." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, not only the old lady Gu and the maid beside her, but also the laurel leaf who followed in on the side, couldn't help but widen their eyes.

The room suddenly fell silent, and Old Lady Gu was silent for a long time before she said, "It's also a ...... It's also a piece of filial piety for you. After saying this, her expression was a little more normal, so she pointed to the jade plate and said, "Then you can read the scriptures for the jade plate." ”

Gu Qingwan didn't seem to realize how strange her behavior was in her eyes, but instead took the Lotus Sutra from Yupan's hand and read it softly.
