Grandma Gu Er smiled very gently and decently: "Some time ago, Mrs. Ning specially came to the door and gave my old lady a small box of sandalwood, and my old lady liked it very much. Originally, my old lady wanted to come by herself, but she was weak recently and couldn't go out. So I returned the gift, but fortunately, I was instructed to make sure that the gift was handed over to the sister-in-law of the Ning family affectionately. ”

After Gu Er's grandmother finished speaking, she beckoned her mother-in-law to bring up the gifts, only to see two boxes of high-quality ejiao from Tongling County, yellow ginseng from the north, two pieces of unprocessed high-quality Lantian jade, and several finely carved small wooden boxes, which contained precious antlers......

Gu Er's grandmother introduced them one by one, and then said: "I heard that the sister-in-law of the Ning family has always been weak, this is a little bit of the Gu family's heart, to make up for the sister-in-law's body." There is also Ejiao produced in Tongling County, my old lady likes it very much, and specially ordered me to bring it to Mrs. Ning to taste. ”

The Cao family was stunned, and it took a long time to react, and said straightly: "But...... It's just a small box of sandalwood, which is not worth a few dollars, why should Gu Fu pay such a big gift, this is ...... The Ning family really can't afford it......"

Gu Er's grandmother said happily: "The sandalwood was asked for from Nanmu Temple, and it is the childhood friendship of the two old ladies, which is naturally very valuable. Besides, when I came over today, I didn't bring many expensive gifts, but they were all for food, so don't be polite, sister-in-law of the Ning family, accept it. If I don't, I won't be able to explain to my old lady. ”

Cao's face was embarrassed, obviously extremely embarrassed: "This ......"

"Take it, sister-in-law of the Ning family, there is no need to be polite between the two of us." Grandma Gu continued to persuade a few more words, and then changed her words: "What about the green girl?" When the old lady was too old, I saw the young girl once, and I liked it very much. Can you call the young girl and let me talk to her? ”

Cao Shi was stunned, obviously sensing something, showing a somewhat flattered look, but there was no reason to refuse, so he had to ask Lan Ying to call Ningxia Qing over.

Hearing that Gu Er's grandmother was coming, she also named her to see herself, which was much more than Ning Xia Qing expected. Ning Ningqing simply freshened up, then went to Cao's house, stood respectfully beside Cao's, and saluted Gu Er's grandmother in a proper manner: "Second Grandma Gu is fine." ”

Gu Er's grandmother hurriedly smiled: "The young girl just knows how to count etiquette." No wonder my old lady talks about the green girl all day long, and she likes it very much. Just looking at the young girl standing there, I felt that this appearance was outstanding, and her temperament was elegant and generous, and it was indeed a Peugeot born by the sister-in-law of the Ning family. ”

Cao didn't know what to say, so he didn't dare to talk rashly, so he had to say a few words casually.

Gu Er's grandmother said a few similar words, but the left just showed that the Gu family valued Ningxia Qing, which made the Cao family stunned for a moment, and Gu Ergrandma said: "The sister-in-law of the Ning family is not in good health, so I won't bother much, I'll go to see Mrs. Ning, and then go back, my old lady is still waiting for me to reply." After saying that, he didn't let the Cao family send it, so he went out.

As soon as Gu Er's grandmother left, Ningxia Qing and Cao's glanced at each other, and they both sensed Gu Er's intentions. Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

I just heard Second Grandma Gu mention Old Lady Gu again and again, could it be that this matter was Old Lady Gu's idea? This is strange, the Gu family and the Ning family are very different, for the Gu family, the Ning family is really not a family that can be taken into consideration. Even if you care about the friendship between the two old ladies, it will not come to this point.

Besides, Ning Xia Qing felt that because of the last time she talked about the conditions with Mrs. Gu, in Mrs. Gu's heart, Ning Ning Qing might be an excellent businesswoman. However, the more excellent the businesswoman, the farther away from the virtuous lady, the less likely she is to be a good daughter-in-law needed by a large family. How could Old Lady Gu take a fancy to her?

Besides, just after the morning and the Shen family divorced, in the afternoon, Gu Er's grandmother came running, which is unavoidable......

But right now, since Gu Er's grandmother has not yet made it clear, Ningxia Qing is not good at unwarranted speculation, so she said to Cao's family: "Mother, you can rest first." Since Grandma Gu Er has gone to see the old lady, she should explain it to the old lady, let's just wait and ask the old lady.

Cao nodded, Ningxia Qing served Cao to rest again, walked out of Cao's house, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Du Qiutong standing in the courtyard, talking to Lan Ying in the courtyard.

As soon as he saw Ningxia Qing coming out, Du Qiutong immediately caught up, and Ningxia Qing's footsteps did not stop, still walking out, Du Qiutong hurriedly followed Ningxia Qing's steps, and said affectionately: "Cousin, I just went to look for you, you are not here, I heard that you came to my aunt's place, so I came to find it." ”

"Oh, really?" Ning Xia Qing sneered in her heart, and her face was faint: "What's the matter with me?" ”

Du Qiutong's tone was extremely sincere: "I heard that my aunt said that my uncle-in-law went to the Shen family to withdraw from his relatives. I'm worried that my cousin will be upset, so I came to see you. ”

When Ning Xia Qing heard this, she couldn't help but smile: "Yo, Aunt Du's news is very fast." Ning Xia Qing glanced at Du Qiutong and said, "Don't worry, I'm very good, I don't bother you." Although Ningxia Qing spoke softly, he hid soft nails, Du Qiutong was really stunned when he heard this, Ningxia Qing didn't wait for Du Qiutong, turned his face and walked out.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Ning Xia Qing suddenly turned around, and said to Du Qiutong with a smile: "By the way, what Gu Er's grandmother said just now is still undecided, you can ...... it" Ning Xia Qing smiled meaningfully at Du Qiutong: "...... Don't tell me about it. After saying that, Ning Xia Qing even blinked meaningfully.

Du Qiutong was left in place, opened his mouth, and was stunned.

She felt more and more that in recent days, Ning Ningqing has become more and more cold and strange to herself, although she has not said half a sentence, and even from a certain point of view, she is very fond of herself, but ...... I always feel like something is different.

Du Qiutong was very happy when he heard that Ningxia Qing had withdrawn from his family, but just now he heard that the people from the Gu Mansion were actually here, and they also wanted to see Ningxia Qing by name, so he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly came to listen to the corner.

Just hearing Gu Er's grandmother's words, Du Qiutong guessed Gu Er's intentions, and couldn't help but panic. Coupled with Ning Ningqing's last ambiguous words, Du Qiutong's guess was further verified. Could it be that Gu Fu actually fell in love with Ningxia Qing?

That's not good!

And just now, Ningxia Qing actually asked Du Qiutong not to say it, as if he believed that Du Qiutong was deliberately listening to the news, which made Du Qiutong even more uncertain, and he didn't know how much Ning Ningqing knew. Du Qiutong panicked all of a sudden, thinking that he needed to tell Aunt Du and Tan Wenshi about this matter quickly and discuss countermeasures together.

Although Tan Wenshi said that he has been very busy recently and has no time to worry about other things, he ...... On such an urgent matter, no matter how busy Tan Wenshi is, he must discuss it with him as soon as possible......

Gu Er's grandmother didn't stay long, so she left before dinner. As soon as Second Grandma Gu left, the Cao family immediately went to Old Lady Ning and asked urgently, "Old lady, what does Second Grandma Gu mean?" Listening to the meaning of those words, it seems that it was sent by Old Lady Gu? Could it be that Mrs. Gu has taken a fancy to Qing'er? Won't it......"

Old Lady Ning frowned and said, "Yes, I can't believe it either." Besides, we only quit in the morning, why did she let her second daughter-in-law come to the door in such a timely manner? ”

Cao speculated: "Could it be that Mrs. Gu has long taken a fancy to Qing'er, but she didn't mention it because Qing'er decided on someone's family?" And today, I don't know where I learned about Qing'er's resignation, so I asked Gu Er's grandmother to come to the door quickly? ”

"If that's the case, send her second daughter-in-law over today, Bacheng just came to tell us the bottom of it, so that we know in our hearts, and we may send Geng post over in a few days. Speaking of which, when she held the birthday banquet, she already knew about Qing'er and the Shen family's marriage, so she didn't say anything, just teased Zi'er a few words, and I only thought she was saying it, not when she really wanted to marry our family......"

Cao Shi frowned, obviously worried more than surprised, and muttered: "Now that I haven't sent Geng Ti over, things haven't been clear, which makes me really feel at ease." ”

Old Mrs. Ning sighed: "If you send Geng Ti over, I'm afraid that things will be more difficult." If we agree, with such a big gap between the families, I am afraid that Qing'er will be wronged when she marries. If we don't agree, it will seem that we don't know what to do, and we will break the face of Gu Fu. Alas, how can such a person not have a pedigree for doing things, how can he have such a mind? ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were silent for a while, and Mrs. Ning asked, "Her second daughter-in-law has hinted to you, which brother in the Gu Mansion does she want to marry?" ”

Cao replied: "Listening to the meaning of the second grandmother, it seems that the fifth young master of the second grandmother, called Gu Huailang, will be crowned next year, but he has not yet decided on a marriage." ”

"Gu Huailang ......" Mrs. Ning squinted her eyes and recalled: "I went to Gu Mansion that day, I saw that child once, that child is a concubine, and has been raised under the knee of her second daughter-in-law, and she is very rich. ”

Cao Shi muttered, "This ...... What can we do now, old lady? ”

"When I find sometime, I'll go to the door and ask her what she means. This seems to be a happy event, but in fact it is very troublesome. Since we have withdrawn from the Shen family, it is time for Qing'er to think about other people's families, but if the Gu family proposes marriage at this time, will others dare to come to the door to rob the Gu family? Qing'er is not young, how can it be good if she is delayed? ”

Cao Shi nodded and sighed helplessly.

A few days later, Mrs. Shen got up from the bed, her face was pale, and when she looked in the mirror, she was shocked to find a few more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Alas, the Shen family is in today's situation, just like a lonely boat on the sea in a storm, and the only driftwood at the moment is the marriage between Shen Zhiyuan and Gu Yimeng. As long as Gu Yimeng is successfully married, he will be able to catch the big ship of the Gu family.

Mrs. Shen originally thought that because of what Shen Zhiyuan had done in Wanyanfang, the Gu Mansion would be furious, and even embarrassed herself and not let herself enter the door, Mrs. Shen had already been prepared to eat a few more closed-door soups, but unexpectedly, Gu Er's grandmother agreed to see her.

Mrs. Shen was flattered, raised a big smile, presented the gift, and said affectionately: "The relatives of the Shen family and the Ning family have retired, and now, Zhiyuan no longer has to be affected by the Ning family's girls, and a shabby family like the Ning family will never have anything to do with the Shen family again." Now, the marriage between Zhiyuan and the fourth girl ......"

"yes, got it." Second Grandma Gu suddenly spoke, interrupting Mrs. Shen's words lukewarmly.

Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face froze a little, and she was cheeky and asked again, "Then...... Zhiyuan and the fourth girl's marriage ......"

A trace of impatient mockery flashed in Gu Er's eyes: "Mrs. Shen, a few nights ago, there was a lively incident on Fuqiao Street, Mrs. Shen should have heard about it." ”

Mrs. Shen's face turned white, and she couldn't even maintain a smile.

Grandma Gu said lightly: "I've been busy with Brother Lang'er's marriage recently, and I really don't have the energy to take care of other things." Besides, the fourth girl is still young, and her marriage is not in a hurry, besides, I can't bear her, and I hope she can stay with me for two more years. ”

"But ......" Mrs. Shen stammered, not daring to mention that Shen Zhiyuan and Gu Yimeng had already been husband and wife.

In short, although Grandma Gu saw Mrs. Shen, she blocked all what Mrs. Shen said without leaving a trace, and Mrs. Shen had to go back dejectedly after eating soft nails for a long time.

It wasn't until she returned to Shen's house that Mrs. Shen sat down to rest that she remembered that Grandma Gu had just said that she was preparing for Brother Lang'er's marriage......

Mrs. Shen was stunned, she hadn't heard of Brother Lang's marriage before, why did she start preparing for marriage so suddenly? I don't know what kind of people are decided.

She didn't react just now, and she didn't even say a polite word of congratulations, Mrs. Shen said in her heart, next time she goes to the Gu Mansion, she will make up for it.

At this moment, Huang Yuan came to report that Grandma Qian was here. Before Mrs. Shen instructed Huang Yuan to lure Grandma Qian in, Grandma Qian had already walked into the door on her own initiative, and said with a panicked face: "Sister-in-law, have you heard about that incident?" ”

Mrs. Shen was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”

Grandma Qian said in shock: "A few days ago, Second Grandma Gu went to the Ning family to propose marriage to the dead girl of the Ning family. ”

The teacup in Mrs. Shen's hand almost fell to the ground, and the whole person froze.
