Volume 1 The First Encounter Chapter 27 Rejection
"It's getting late, magpie, hasn't the lord come back yet?" Because he was happy today, Liu ordered his subordinates to make a few more good dishes, and wanted to talk to Gu Jin about the next table, and by the way, Gu Jin also agreed not to let Gu Huanyi go with him, and reached out to pat Gu Huanyan's chopsticks and said to Gu Huanran, who was sitting on the side, "Ran'er, look at your sister, and wait for your father to come back and eat." ”
The little envoy said: "Go back to the eldest lady, the master has gone to Xiao Xiaoniang's room." ”
Liu frowned: "Why did you go to her room, and she didn't inform me in advance." ”
"Xiao Xiaoniang has been waiting at the door to wait for the master to come back, and when she saw the master, she said that she had something to discuss with the master, so she called the master over."
Liu snorted coldly: "What can she do, probably because she got the news, she wants to cry with the master." What else would she do but cry. ”
Gu Huanyan picked up the chopsticks again: "Mother, if the second sister wants to go, go there, don't be angry, come over and eat." ”
Liu's hatred of women is not a weapon and said: "You know how to eat every day except sleeping, can you think about your future!" ”
"Mother, today's chicken is so tender, try it." Gu Huanyan put the chopsticks and chicken in Liu's bowl, and persuaded, "Even if the second sister goes, she may not be able to enter the eyes of the eldest princess, her childish appearance will sooner or later cause trouble to put herself in." ”
"It's all my own sister, if the second sister wants to go, I will be optimistic about her." Gu Huanran is very serious.
Gu Huanyan said while chewing something: "Second brother, why are you still looking at her?" ”
"Silly girl, I'm heading for Gu Fu."
"Okay, let's eat, and wait for the master to come back in the evening."
In the courtyard on the other side, Xiao was diligently pouring wine for Gu Jin, and Gu Huanyi also meekly took out her embroidery, softly begging for her father's praise, which can be regarded as warm and harmonious. In fact, Gu Jin doesn't have much ambition, Gu Cheng is an official and he is in business, and the two of them have no conflict of interest, not to mention that Gu Cheng also gives him a hand from time to time, his current family business is big enough, everything is very good, it would be better if the backyard could be more harmonious.
Gu Jin glanced at Xiao's family, if she could be quiet and not cause trouble, he would naturally love her, but every time the trouble was caused by Xiao's family, it was his wife's bitterness, and many things in the house were handled by Liu's family, Gu Huanyi remembered Liu's name again, looking at her current appearance, Liu's family must not have treated her badly, but Liu himself, who has also filled a lot of gray hair over the years, must be too many bad things in the house.
"What is it today?"
Xiao Shi was a little embarrassed, but he still forced out a smile and gave Gu Jin a chopstick dish: "What the master said, can't you call the master to come to the room for a meal if it's okay?" ”
Seeing that Gu Jin's eyes were full of distrust, Xiao Shi said again: "It's Yi'er, it's rare for her to come to see the concubine today, and the concubine thought about calling the master to come over and have a meal for the family of three." It's been a long time since we've sat down for a meal. ”
"yes, Daddy, it's been a long time since you've come to see your daughter."
Hearing that Xiao moved Gu Huanyi out, Gu Jin's expression finally softened, after all, it was his daughter.
"Let's eat."
Gu Huanyi gave Xiao Shi a look, and after Xiao received it, he poured Gu Jin another glass of wine, and said, "I don't know if the master has heard of a thing recently." ”
"What's the matter?"
"I heard that the New Year is approaching, and the eldest prince hosted a polo club and invited the female and male guests of everyone in the capital."
Gu Jin nodded: "Well, the post should have been handed out, what's wrong?" ”
"The concubine boldly guessed what the eldest princess meant, I'm afraid that she wants to pick a suitable pillow person for Liu Xiaowangye, so she wants to hold a polo club a year ago."
Gu Jin thought about it for a while, and felt that Xiao's speculation was good, but he still said: "What the eldest princess means, it's not something that we people can speculate at will, let's eat well." ”
Xiao clenched his fists behind his back, bit his teeth on his lips, and did not let go until he turned white, and changed to a flattering look again: "Master, you are busy with affairs every day, and the concubine also knows, but Yi'er is going to be married this year, she is a big girl, and I, as a little mother, should always think about the future of the child." ”
"Isn't this what a big lady should think?"
"It stands to reason that it is." Xiao's expression was a little gloomy, "But the concubine dared to say, doesn't this eldest lady still have Sister Yan'er, Sister Yan'er is her own daughter-in-law, and my family Yi'er is in the past, and the eldest lady will inevitably favor one over the other." ”
Gu Jin frowned, and defended the Liu family: "The eldest lady has never treated Yi'er badly over the years, I believe she will not favor one over the other, if you don't worry, I will also help Yi'er Zhang Luo." ”
"Sir, that's... Polo Club. ”
Gu Jin put down his chopsticks a little impatiently: "The post was handed to the second lady, what did the second lady say?" ”
"The second lady is here to inform the eldest lady... But..."
Gu Huanyi forced out a tear at the right time, and fell at Gu Jin's feet: "Daddy, several younger sisters have gone, why can't Yi'er go?" ”
"The big lady won't let you go?" Gu Jin thought about it and didn't know what the Liu family meant, looking at Gu Huanyi's pitiful appearance begging for herself, she had to say, "If you want to go, go ahead, I'll come back to the ward lady." ”
Gu Huanyi finally burst into tears when she heard this: "Thank you, Daddy, I know that Daddy is the best." ”
After the family of three finished eating, Gu Jin instructed Gu Huanyi's schoolwork again, and there was no idea of staying overnight, so he said a few more words to make Gu Huanyi obedient and not cause trouble, and went back to Liu's place.
However, as soon as he entered the door, before his ass heated the mat and did not tell the Liu family about Gu Huanyi, the old lady sent someone over
"Sir, the old lady invites you and the eldest lady to come over."
Gu Jin and Liu didn't dare to slack off, so they followed the female envoy over. The two of them bent down towards the old lady to show respect.
"I've seen my mother, I don't know if it's anything important for my mother to call her son so late?"
"Sit down." The old lady waved his hand, picked up the tea and drank a few sips, just dealing with Gu Yanhuo's kid, he was really tired, and he didn't know if he followed his unjustly killed father, all the same shaft.
Gu Jin and his wife sat down as they said, and then heard the old lady say, "I heard that the eldest father hosted a polo club. ”
Gu Jin was a little puzzled, this was obviously a trivial matter, why did so many people mention it to him in one day? Did the eldest princess's little prince Liu turn out to be such a sought-after steamed bun?
"Yes, what instructions does Mother have?"
The old lady coughed to hide his embarrassment and said, "In my opinion, here in your big house, you will only ask Sister Yan and Brother Ran to go." ”
The husband and wife were stunned, and after Liu's reaction, she was naturally happy, and now the old lady spoke, which was naturally a sure thing, but she still had to maintain her image, so she said: "Mother, what about Sister Yi." It's just that it won't be good if you don't take Sister Yi there, it's not good to favor one over the other. ”
"There's nothing wrong with it, this time it's to participate in the eldest princess's mat, the girls represent the Gu Mansion in every word and deed, Sister Yi'er's temperament still has to be sharpened again, and if she goes out and loses someone, it's not good to leave a bad impression on the eldest princess." The old lady waved her hand again, "It's decided, you guys go back, I'm tired." ”
"Yes, Mother."
When Xiao received the news, he swept all the things on the table to the ground in a hurry, and shouted at the little female envoy: "Why don't you let me go again, didn't the old man still loosen his mouth just now, is it the slut of the Liu family." ”
The female envoy replied: "When the old man returned to the house, he was called by the old lady, I am afraid that it is the old lady's meaning." ”
"What is her old man meddling in!"
Gu Huanyi sat down on the chair and cried: "Don't really think about going this time, the old lady has spoken." ”
Xiao comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, the little lady will find a way for you, we can still go secretly, as long as you meet the little prince." ”
Gu Huanyi nodded in agreement.
