Chapter 255: Congratulatory Gift
After the wedding date was set, Ningxia Qing had to be busy with the marriage.
Because Ah Zheng is involved, all affairs should be handled by the woman's family, but in the end, basically Ah is running around for this, Ah Zheng knows that she is busy, so he doesn't bother her with this matter at all.
In addition, there is Ning Er's grandmother who kindly helps. Ning Er's grandmother called more than a dozen housekeepers and servants from her house to help them go in and out, and she was very busy in the backyard of the Ning family.
Therefore, compared with those who are busy in and out of the backyard of the Ning family, Ningxia Qing is inexplicably idle, and he can also concentrate on business.
The current situation is uncertain, and she feels that she still has to ask Gu Xuesong, otherwise she will always have no bottom in her heart. However, she felt that it was a little inappropriate to go to see Gu Xuesong in person......
After thinking about it, she prepared a few fine satin and gold and jade jewelry as congratulatory gifts, plus a red invitation, and asked Dong Zizhen to send it to Gu Xuesong.
In fact, when Gu Xuesong got married, Dong Zizhen asked someone to send a congratulatory gift to Beijing. However, Gu Xuesong recently returned to Meigong County with his wife, and this is the first time Gu Xuesong's wife has returned to Meigong County after marriage, so Ningxia Qing has been famous for giving gifts in the past.
Ningxia Qing asked Dong Zizhen to send the congratulatory gifts and invitations to Mrs. Gu, and more importantly, to go to Gu Xuesong to inquire about the current situation by the way.
Dong Zizhen stepped out of the door of Huacaiyuan with his front foot, and Du Qiutong came with his back foot.
Ningxia Qing sat at the counter of Huacaiyuan and looked out, only to see Du Qiutong walking in with a light figure on his back, Du Qiutong in the past had a delicate waist and slender limbs, but now he was wearing a fluttering wide robe, and his slanted bun added to the gentle and charming.
Ning Ningqing looked over, pulled out a smile, and asked, "I didn't expect that I would have such a good thing when I was away from home for so long." How many months? ”
Du Qiutong stroked his stomach, his face was ruddy, he smiled, and with a delicate tone, he said quite smugly: "It's been five months." ”
Ning Xia Qing smiled and turned his head slightly.
Once, Ningxia Qing stood by the lake, and Du Qiutong beside him was pregnant in May, and the frozen lake was like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky like water, and it was there that Du Qiutong wanted Ningxia Qing's life.
At that time, Du Qiutong put his hands in the hand warmer, looking at Ningxia Qing who was helplessly struggling in the water, before that, Ningxia Qing didn't expect that his cousin, who grew up with him, could do it so absolutely!
At that time, Du Qiutong had such a big belly.
Ning Ningqing looked away slightly, and it was a little difficult to calm down in his heart.
Du Qiutong's calculation killed Xue Qianqian's child, just to let himself give birth to Tan Wenshi's eldest son.
Ning Ningqing couldn't help frowning, thinking that if she was Du Qiutong, after she became pregnant with this child, felt the child's growth in the womb day by day, and experienced the feeling of being a mother, she would regret the cruelty of Xue Qianqian's child.
But obviously, Du Qiutong has no such remorse, and Du Qiutong's face only has self-satisfaction and pride.
Looking at Du Qiutong's appearance, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
"By the way, I'm here today to congratulate my cousin." Du Qiutong naturally didn't know what Ning Ningqing was thinking, and smiled to himself: "I didn't expect that my cousin and Ah Zheng really became them." I used to think that Ah Zheng was different from others to his cousin, and I didn't take it seriously at the time, but I didn't think that my cousin and Ah Zheng really had this day. ”
Du Qiutong's words are nothing more than a cold Ningxia Qing, alluding to the fact that Ningxia Qing and A Zheng have long been secretly communicating with each other.
Ningxia Qing was disdainful and funny in her heart, and only a small woman like Du Qiutong would care so much about the reputation of the festival and the defense of men and women, so that she took it for granted that Ningxia Qing also cared about her as much, so she used this to respond to Ningxia Qing.
As everyone knows, Ningxia Qing has already taken this kind of thing lightly, for Ningxia Qing, as long as she is not caught, and the old lady, Cao and Zi'er are not embarrassed, Ningxia Qing doesn't care about the rest.
Ningxia Qing knew that Du Qiutong was very concerned about this kind of thing. Therefore, he smiled and said tactfully: "This is said as if you have seen Ah Zheng many times." When you used to live here, you were always in the backyard, how do you know how Ah Zheng treats others and how you treat me? ”
Ning Xia Qing deliberately said in a joking tone: "Could it be that you still stare at the people in this family all day long, seeing how the people in this family treat others and how they treat me?" ”
Du Qiutong's face turned white.
Ning Xia Qing smiled again and sighed: "Speaking of which, you and Tan Ye really scared me at the beginning. I know you've seen it in my shop, but I don't know when you made friends, and you made such a big deal in the Gu Mansion all of a sudden, alas, it can be seen that the fate between men and women is really not good. ”
Du Qiutong's face turned whiter than just now, and his forced smile suddenly became extremely stiff.
When sending Du Qiutong away, Ningxia Qing asked Du Qiutong not to drink his wedding wine on the grounds that Du Qiutong was afraid of being collided by others. Immediately, Ningxia Qingmu sent Du Qiutong's carriage away, and his heart was a little spinning.
Du Qiutong can come over, it should be Tan Wenshi's meaning. When Ningxia Qing was married in Mongolia, there was such a conversation between Tan Wenshi and Ning Ningqing...... Today, Du Qiutong came over, and eighty percent was also instructed by Tan Wenshi.
Ning Ningqing turned around and was about to enter the door, when he saw that Dong Zizhen was already at the counter. It turned out that Gu Xuesong was not at home at the moment, Dong Zizhen gave the congratulatory gift and invitation to Mrs. Gu, and then came back early in the morning.
It was nearly the second watch before Gu Xuesong went home.
After arriving home, Gu Xuesong walked into the house, but saw that the Jiang family was waiting for him in the house, and there was a steaming supper in front of him. The Jiang family, who had a good complexion, was quiet and graceful, got up to serve Gu Xuesong, and after taking off his cloak and sitting down, he brought the medicine that had been carefully warmed to Gu Xuesong with a pair of plain hands.
Jiang Shi hung his head slightly, and said gently: "Husband only came back at this time, didn't he miss the time to take the medicine?" If the husband is busy with official business, it is better to let Guanqi take the medicine to the city, where he will fry it for the husband. ”
"Since you're busy with official business, where is the time to take medicine?" Gu Xuesong said: "If I come back so late in the future, you don't have to wait for me, go and rest." ”
"My husband's taking medicine is a big deal, I have to personally serve my husband to drink the medicine, or know that my husband has already drunk the medicine, otherwise I really don't ......feel at ease." Jiang frowned slightly, with a little uneasiness, and said worriedly.
Gu Xuesong lowered his eyes. There was a time before when he didn't go home in time, so Jiang decocted medicine at home and carried it to the city in person.
Jiang kept the stove on the carriage and kept the medicine on the stove to warm up. After arriving at the City Ship Division, Jiang knew that it was inconvenient to get off the car, so he asked the coachman to deliver the medicine to the City Ship Division, and he sat in the carriage outside the City Ship Division and waited.
By the time the coachman came back with the empty bowl, Jiang had been waiting in the carriage for almost a quarter of an hour. It was the middle of winter, and Jiang was so cold that he was cold. Gu Xuesong therefore did not allow the Jiang family to go to the city to deliver medicine again.
Gu Xuesong couldn't help coughing a few times, looked at the Jiang family, and comforted: "I understand that you are worried about my body." I've wronged you to ask you to come with me, there are few people serving here, so I don't have to do it yourself. ”
"Since I am married to my husband, it is my duty to serve my husband." Jiang smiled shyly as he spoke, and then pushed the still steaming supper in front of Gu Xuesong and served Gu Xuesong in.
Gu Xuesong only tasted it and knew that this was made by the Jiang family himself. It's not that there are no cooks at home, but the Jiang family is always worried that the chef is not as careful as she treats Gu Xuesong, so he always insists on cooking for Gu Xuesong himself.
Jiang's craftsmanship is very good. The daughter of the prince and the Fu family, whether it is poetry or books, is the top in the world.
While serving Gu Xuesong for supper, Jiang said: "By the way, my husband hasn't come to live here for a long time, I'm afraid I haven't paid attention to it, and the paint at the gate here is a little refuted." ”
Gu Xuesong was slightly stunned: "Really?" I really didn't pay attention. "I haven't been back for a long time, and I've been busy since I came back, and I'm in a hurry even when I get in and out, and I really can't pay attention to the little things that paint at the door.
Jiang said with some uneasiness: "I will repaint it tomorrow with pineapple wood paint." I knew my husband didn't like such conspicuous colors, but I thought that after all, it was the doorway, and it was better to be a little more stylish. I hope my husband doesn't blame me for making up my own mind. ”
Gu Xuesong immediately shook his head and said, "You're right, the door is different from the inside, it is appropriate to be a little more conspicuous." There are few people serving here, and you have to personally ask about such a trivial matter, so it's not mine. I'm glad you take care of the household for me. ”
"Husband, don't be angry, I'll just make my own decisions." After listening to Gu Xuesong's words, the uneasiness on Jiang's face faded, turned into a shy flush, and suddenly said, "By the way, a shopkeeper surnamed Jia came to find her husband today. ”
Gu Xuesong froze and asked, "What did he come to me for?" ”
"It's for his host to give a congratulatory gift. He said that his owner and his husband were old acquaintances, so I took it on my own initiative, and let my husband see it later, if my husband didn't want to accept it, I would send it back tomorrow. Jiang immediately said cautiously.
Before Gu Xuesong could speak, Jiang said again: "By the way, he also sent a wedding card for his owner." ”
Gu Xuesong was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, his host's good days are coming...... The gift he sent was supposed to be for you, right? You can accept it, and then go and prepare a congratulatory gift, and then go with me to congratulate you. ”
Hearing Gu Xuesong's slightly different tone, Jiang Shi was slightly surprised for a moment, and then said meekly: "Then I'll go to the warehouse to see if there is anything I can send." Then he stepped back softly.
