30. Magnolia
Mrs. Guo took Ah Jin's hand, followed by Mama Lin Xi and the maid, and the group came to the "Mulan Courtyard".
Mulan Courtyard is located in the east courtyard of Guo Mansion, which was originally the residence left by Guo Guogong's sister, that is, Guo Xian's concubine - Guo Jingshu, close to the artificial river, with an excellent geographical location and a wide field of vision, which is a good place to be warm in winter and cool in summer.
After obtaining the consent of the master, Mrs. Guo began a drastic transformation, and carried out a thorough renovation of the Mulan Courtyard, all the old furnishings were replaced, and on the original basis, all kinds of plants and trees were planted.
As soon as she entered the Mulan Courtyard, Mrs. Guo directly pulled Ah Ying into the back room, saying that she wanted to show her new clothes. Just from her cousin Guo Ying, Ah Ying can see that her uncle is a mother who loves to dress up her daughter.
Ah Ying was stunned as soon as she entered the house! The table, stool, bed, and wardrobe are stuffed with clothes of various seasons and styles in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the dresser is also full of jewels and hairpins, which makes Ah Ying stunned.
Ah Ying couldn't believe it, and looked back at Mrs. Guo, "Uncle, you... That's too well prepared, isn't it?"
The smile on Mrs. Guo's face didn't stop, and she said gently: "Yu'er, take a look, you still like these clothes and jewelry, if you don't like it, I'll take you to the street to buy it again!"
Ah Ying glanced around and didn't look very carefully, but judging from the texture of the clothes alone, he knew that it was worth a lot, and Ah Ying said: "I like it, my uncle prepared it, and I like it." It's just that you have too much to prepare, and I can't wear all these dresses..."
"It's okay, let's pick up and wear one piece a day!" Mrs. Guo said with a smile.
Behind him, Lin Xi Mama said: "The girl doesn't know, these are all carefully selected by the lady for a long time!" These beaded hairpin earrings are also made by people who have just ordered them to hurry up! Madame has really put a lot of thought into it for you. ”
Ah Ying looked at these things, then looked at Mama Linxi, stepped forward to hold Mrs. Guo's hand, and said, "Uncle, I've bothered you..."
"Ouch, what a bother. You'er, you were only nine years old when you left, and you were still so young, you were alone outside, and your family was not around... Ying'er has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and her uncle thinks of you every time she sees her, and I hope you can be like this, pampered by your family... Uncle and aunt are ashamed of you, I haven't been able to take you home for so long, and let you suffer alone, and now you are finally willing to come back, and my uncle and aunt just hope that they can make up for it..."
Mama Lin took a group of maids to retreat, leaving enough time and space for these people who have been separated for many years.
Ah Ying sighed softly and said, "Uncle, I have been very good in Miaojiang all these years, everyone has taken good care of me, and I haven't suffered anything, so why feel guilty... Besides, aren't I back here now? ”
Mrs. Guo touched Ah Jin's little face and said, "Yuan'er, my uncle knows that you are a strong and sensible child, and you hold back everything in your heart, and you don't want to trouble others." Uncle and aunt are happy to see you become so independent, but you must know that we are not other people, and family members are not used to cause trouble. Uncle and aunt hope that you can still be as lively and cheerful as when you were a child, and you can smile so happily every day... Uncle and aunt know that you came back this time, there must be other reasons, if there is anything you want to do, you can do it boldly, don't worry about us, you have to remember, Guo Fu will always be your backing! ...”
Ah Ying took a breath, her smile was a little broken, and she slowly exhaled a long breath, Ah Ying regained her smile, held Mrs. Guo's hand and said, "Uncle, thank you." I know that over the years, Guo Fu has not been easy, and this time I come back, I just want to be simple, good, and by your side..."
Mrs. Guo breathed a sigh of relief and wiped her eyes, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, you are back, you just want to be happy!" Come, take you to see, my aunt has arranged a few smart and clever girls for you. ”
"Shu Lan!" Mrs. Guo got up and shouted out.
