Everyone laughed for a while, and Mrs. Gu asked while sneering at Ningxia Qing's eloquent language: "By the way, I heard that in addition to Jiajia yesterday, there was also a little maid who also hung the lottery?" Whose maid is it? ”

Ning Xia Qing replied: "It's a maid named Double Happiness next to Zi'er, although she has a color on her face, it is not serious." ”

Mrs. Gu was slightly stunned: "Painted on your face?" Mrs. Gu couldn't help but ask again: "It's really not serious?" Did the little maid follow Zi'er to the academy? Get someone to bring it over and let me take a look. ”

Ningxia Qing said: "Shuangxi is not on the academy's side, I saw that she was injured, so I asked her to rest at home for a few days, but today I did bring her with me, thinking that if possible, let Shuangxi make amends to Miss Li." With that, Ning Xia Qing asked Shuangxi behind him to stand up and show Mrs. Gu.

It turned out that Shuangxi had been standing behind Ning Ningqing's chair, just on the edge of Cuiyu, but because Shuangxi was too small, the whole person was not as tall as the back of the chair, so no one saw her. Shuangxi timidly lowered his head and moved to the center of the room, knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Gu, and said in a trembling voice: "Old lady Gu is blessed." ”

Old Lady Gu nodded slightly and said, "Although this maid is young, she knows etiquette. Come, look up and let me see what the wound is on my face. ”

As soon as Shuangxi raised his head, revealing the scratches on his face, Old Lady Gu couldn't help frowning slightly when she saw it, and said, "Why is it still swollen?" It seems that it really hurts a lot. Then he turned his face and instructed the mother-in-law behind him: "You go and bring the healing ointment sent from the capital and give it to this little girl." ”

At this moment, everyone in the audience was stunned, including Ningxia Qing. Ning Ningqing stood up and said a little helplessly: "Grandma Gu, don't be like this, Grandma Gu values it so much, how can Shuangxi afford it?" When I take Shuangxi back, I will naturally find a doctor to treat her injuries, how can I still let Grandma Gu worry about Shuangxi? ”

Old Lady Gu just looked at Ning Xia Qing and smiled slightly, waved her hand to signal Ning Xia Qing to sit down, and said to the maid beside her: "You go and bring the hexagonal square bag on my kang table again, there are a few gadgets that children like, and I will give them to this little maid." At this moment, not only everyone in the hall was even more puzzled, but Ningxia Qing also became more and more confused.

Ning Xia Qing stood up again and wanted to refuse, but he was facing the eyes of the old lady Gu, Ning Xia Qing sat down knowingly, stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something, and whispered to Shuangxi, who was already stunned: "Shuangxi, why don't you kowtow to Old Lady Gu to thank you." ”

"No, you don't." Old Mrs. Gu stopped: "This kid is injured on his face, hurry up and go home to rest, kowtow or something, just avoid kowtowing or something." ”

At this moment, Ning Xia Qing was almost as stunned as Shuangxi, she secretly swept the expressions of everyone in the hall, and saw that everyone was as puzzled by Mrs. Gu's attitude as her.

Ningxia Qing thought that yesterday's incident would rarely lead to an argument between the two sides, and in the end, in order to calm the matter, Mrs. Gu should push the matter onto the maids on both sides, so that the maids would bear this mistake, and no longer the maids were young and ignorant so they did not punish on the grounds that they would erase this matter.

But Mrs. Gu lightly brushed aside yesterday's incident, and did not blame the maids. Although Mrs. Gu's attitude is not a grievance to the Li family, she is really too partial to the Ning family, as if she attaches great importance to the Ning family, and she still cares about Shuangxi so carefully? Isn't this just showing the partiality of the Ning family?

Although Ning Xia Qing knew that Mrs. Gu treated her well, she had never valued it to this point before, right? It was simply telling everyone in the hall, including Ning Ningqing, that the Ning family was the family that Old Lady Gu valued.

Ningxia Qing didn't understand, why did Mrs. Gu value her so much? If it weren't for the fact that she was still a little self-aware, she would even have to wonder if she had soared into the sky, otherwise she wouldn't be able to understand why Old Lady Gu wanted to show favor like this......

Mrs. Gu rewarded Shuangxi with a bottle of healing medicine, which was contained in an extremely delicate white porcelain bottle, on which the landscape was depicted with colored ink, which was an object that children would like. The hexagonal square bag contains a string of glass bracelets and two brocade silk flowers, not to mention how delicate the hexagonal square bag itself is.

Mrs. Gu smiled again and said to Ning Xia Qing: "In another hour, the Gu family will have lunch, you can stay and talk to me again, and have lunch with me, Zi'er is also there at lunch." ”

In the stunned eyes of the rest of the people, Ning Ningqing stood up, bowed slightly, and excused himself: "It's not that I don't appreciate it, it's just that I'm in charge of the family shop now, and I really can't leave." Besides, I have to go back and talk to my grandmother and my mother quickly, so that they don't worry about Zi'er. If I don't go back, won't it make them even more suspenseful? ”

Old Madam Gu nodded, and couldn't help but say with great regret: "It's okay for you to go back early, go back and tell your grandma and your mother, Zi'er is fine, let them not worry." Alas, if only they all came, we would have lunch together. ”

Ning Xia Qing paused slightly, and then said: "My grandmother and my mother originally wanted to come over in person, saying that they had to come forward and negotiate and resolve the matter in person, so that they could be sincere." ”

Speaking of this, Ning Ningqing's eyes swept slightly over the large group of Li family members led by Li's mother, and said: "But I think this is just a fight between children. So I stopped them and let me come first. ”

Old Lady Gu nodded with a smile and said, "You're right, it's just a fight between children, and it's not good if it hurts the harmony of the two adults." Ning Xia Qing nodded yes, and her eyes swept over the Li family again, only to see that the Li family's faces were dark, and Mrs. Shen glared at Ning Xia Qing with hatred.

Mrs. Gu said again: "By the way, when you go home later, tell your grandmother that I have something to find her, and let her come over in person." ”

Ning Ningqing couldn't help but ask in amazement: "I will convey it to my grandmother, but I don't know what happened to Grandma Gu, so ...... Solemnly? ”

Old Lady Gu just waved her hand, her expression was quite meaningful, and she said with a smile: "It's our own words between the two old women, I can't tell you." ”

Ning Xia Qing didn't want to ask any more, so she had to get up and say goodbye to Old Lady Gu.

She walked out of Mrs. Gu's yard and unexpectedly met Gu Xuesong.

Gu Xuesong stood under a pine tree in the courtyard, still so elegant and elegant, calm and indifferent.

Ning Xia Qingmeng remembered the first time he saw Gu Xuesong, it had been more than half a year. In the courtyard of the Gu Mansion, he was obviously such a thoughtful son, but he stood there, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

But Gu Xuesong is a little different from before. At this moment, the smooth and beautiful chin was obviously just casually raised, but there was a contemplative look between the eyebrows, as if he was a little hesitant. The originally soft and scattered look, under the current eyebrows and eyes, actually showed a slight sharpness.

Gu Xuesong seemed to be waiting for her on purpose, and said leisurely: "It's not easy for Gu to see Miss Ning now. ”

Ningxia Qing knew that Gu Xuesong was angry about yesterday's incident, and she knew it. She lowered her eyes slightly, but only said a painless explanation: "I came out of the weaving bureau yesterday near the morning, and I planned to go to Lord Gu in the afternoon, but my sister suddenly had an accident in the academy, and I was busy appeasing my sister, so I really had no time to withdraw, so I had to ask the shopkeeper Dong to talk to Master Gu on my behalf." ”

"Well, I heard from the little guy at home that Shopkeeper Dong once came. But I was no longer at home. Gu Xuesong said calmly but slowly: "I heard that Dong Zizhen came to look for me when he was in Youshi, and I had already gone out at that time. The girl told Guanqi yesterday that she would visit me, so I waited for the girl at home, and when it was time for Shen, the girl didn't come, so I went out. ”

Ning Xia Qing suddenly didn't know what to say, she just felt that something was different, maybe it was already different, but she found a suitable reason for her change.

Maybe they weren't the same since a long time ago, but she didn't realize it at the time, or deliberately pretended not to know.

She seemed to be soaked in the gentle countryside in a daze, suddenly realized something, and when she raised her eyes again, she had already raised her eyebrows, and asked seriously: "Lord Gu is in such a hurry to find me, is there something urgent?" ”

Gu Xuesong just shook his head and said, "It's not important. Possible...... Maybe I just want to congratulate the girl in person, the future of 'merit consummation' is bright, and the girl's future is also bright, and it won't be long before the girl can get what she wants, take back her own mulberry garden, and even make Huacaiyuan better and better. ”

This was strange, but Ning Xia Qing didn't question it, but still asked calmly: "Thank you, Master Gu." Lord Gu, please rest assured, I will work hard to take care of the workshop, and I will not let Lord Gu's share be lost by half a bit. ”

Gu Xuesong smiled disdainfully, Ning Xia Qing could even see the irritability from Gu Xuesong's expression, she tried her best to hold her mind, and said as calmly as possible: "If Lord Gu has nothing to do, I will leave." With that, she walked away along the path along the road where Chunmei was driving.

The spring plum stands upright on the branches, full of trees, like clouds and clouds. Looking from afar, the spring plums full of trees seem to be clouds and smoke dyed with afterglow, and this afterglow does not dissipate. However, cherishing flowers is often afraid that flowers will bloom early, not to mention countless reds. After all, the flowering period is less than ten years, so short, and so gorgeous.

Ning Xia Qing left Mrs. Gu's yard, and the Li family, who was bored, said goodbye, Mrs. Shen also deliberately looked at Gu Grandma when she was leaving, Gu Er Grandma only nodded to this in-law, but she didn't have a very good face.

When the guests left, Mrs. Gu said that she was tired and wanted to rest, so let the three grandmothers of the Gu family go too. The three grandmothers of the Gu family said goodbye and immediately walked out of the courtyard of the old lady Gu.

As soon as she walked out of Old Lady Gu's house, Grandma Gu San couldn't help but discuss: "The old lady really values the big girl Ning, even a little maid of the Ning family can't bear to punish her, but deliberately appeases her, and rewards medicine and things." It seems that the old lady is determined to tell his sixth uncle about this family business, no wonder he specially called his sixth uncle today. ”

Grandma Gu San sighed: "I deliberately put Miss Ning and his sixth uncle together, and the meaning of our old lady's matchmaking is also a little obvious......" Speaking of this, Grandma Gu San couldn't help but smile.

Grandma Gu Si also immediately stroked her chest and echoed: "Yes, yes, the old lady just said that let Mrs. Ning come over to talk, I felt at that time that I must have to tell Mrs. Ning about this." Alas, I didn't expect the old lady to be so anxious, I was really startled at the time, but fortunately I quickly lowered my head, otherwise I would have to be seen by the old lady with my expression. ”

Grandma Gu San couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Ning is really lucky, now that she is in charge of her own family, she released words early to invite trouble." How can a woman recruit a caring person? In my opinion, if she can recruit someone who is obedient and doesn't want her family's property, it can be regarded as burning high incense. But this girl is just lucky, and she has to be supported by our old lady like this, and I don't know what luck she had. ”

Grandma Gu Si said again: "Yes, who would have thought that she would have such good luck......

Grandma Gu San glanced at Grandma Gu, and suddenly asked, "Second sister-in-law, why don't you squeak?" ”

Second Grandma Gu smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, haven't I been listening to it all the time?" At this moment, the three of them happened to walk to the fork in the road, and Gu Er's grandmother said: "The incense in my house is gone, I'll go to the incense room to pick some, you go back first." With that, he went in the opposite direction.

Seeing that Gu Er's grandmother had walked away, Gu San's grandmother whispered to Gu Si's grandmother: "Second sister-in-law must be unhappy in her heart." ”

Grandma Gu Si continued: "How can you be happy? The fourth girl's mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen's maiden name is Li, and Mrs. Shen followed the Li family to support the Li family today, but the old lady didn't sell Mrs. Shen this face, so the second sister-in-law was naturally not happy. ”

Grandma Gu San smiled and said, "The reason why the fourth girl married into the Shen family is because Mrs. Shen is calculating in it, and the old lady is naturally dissatisfied with Mrs. Shen, so how can she sell Mrs. Shen face." ”

Grandma Gu San couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity, the second sister-in-law is now a grasshopper on a rope with the Shen family, the second sister-in-law will never be able to get rid of the Shen family, the Shen family has a grudge against the Ning family, but the old lady is carrying the Ning family again, and the second sister-in-law will be uncomfortable in the future." ”

Gu Si's grandmother also said: "If I am the second sister-in-law, I will not feel well." Who doesn't know that the husband of the fourth girl was engaged to Miss Ning in the past, and although he didn't make too much trouble when he withdrew, it was better to not see him from now on, otherwise it would be embarrassing to meet. ”

Grandma Gu Si sighed: "The old lady wanted to tell Brother Teng about Miss Ning in the past, wasn't the second sister-in-law unhappy in every way?" Now that she finally found Brother Teng's family, the second sister-in-law just breathed a sigh of relief, but the old lady didn't mean to give up if she didn't marry Miss Ning into the Gu family. If I were the second sister-in-law, I wouldn't know how much to do in my heart. ”
