"I'm not taboo about this." Xie Shurou shook her head and was about to stand up, but was held down by Mu Hongsheng on the side.

"Sister Xie, don't go, sister-in-law has a point." Mu Hongshang said: "We all know that Sister Xie is not taboo about this, but it is Sister Xie who will marry in a few days, and your second uncle and mother will meet her family in this teahouse now, and she is afraid that she will be careful." ”

"That's exactly what happened." Gu Yilan nodded: "Besides, grandmother mainly wants to take her mother out to relax today, and she doesn't want to alarm many people." Grandmother doesn't care about being rude to you, sit down, I have something to ask you. ”

"Please?" Xie Shurou was stunned: "Could it be that it's painting tricks again?" ”

"It's not." Gu Yilan sighed: "I won't hide it from you, you can see that Hongshang knows like this, our family has not had a good time in the past few months." My mother had a serious illness and just got better. And my grandmother has been suffering these days, and she is also very thin, although she is not sick like her mother, but she also sees that her spirit is not as good as before, and her appetite is not good. I thought about making some soup every day, hoping that her old man could eat more, but she still couldn't get enough of it. ”

"I suddenly remembered the other day that every year on her birthday, you would make that cake for her, and that thing was soft and soft, and my grandmother always liked it. How do you do that, can I get my cook to go to your house to study? ”

"That's fine." Xie Shurou nodded immediately: "The materials are ordinary, but the process is more troublesome, and it takes a few days to learn to understand." If you are in a hurry, I will make a cake tomorrow and send it over to make the old lady appetizing. ”

"That's great." Gu Yilan immediately smiled and nodded: "I really want to thank you this time." ”

"Don't be pretending to be polite," Xie Shurou rolled her eyes and replied without any image: "This kind of fake politeness is left to others to say." ”

"You really don't know how to listen to good words," Gu Yilan's face immediately sank: "Little sister, you don't learn from her in the future." I don't know what I'm thinking all day long. ”

"What do you think? Not yet...... Hey? That's right! Speaking of this, Xie Shurou really remembered one thing: "Didn't your sixth sister discuss marriage, my mother said a few days ago that it seems that the ceremony will be made at the end of February, and it will be ...... then."

Xie Shurou didn't finish speaking, Gu Yilan was already stunned: "My sixth sister? Gu Yizhu? I don't know. Which son-in-law did you order? ”

"You don't know?!" Xie Shurou's eyes widened in surprise: "You don't know about your own family, and you still want me to tell you?" Didn't your father and mother already return to Beijing? Even if you can't easily go back to your parents' house on weekdays, but your mother didn't send someone to talk to you about such a thing? ”

Gu Yilan was silent for a moment, shook her head and replied, "After I got married, I didn't have much contact with my mother's family. ”

"Sister Xie, you know, our Anguo Mansion is like this, and my mother rarely contacts my grandfather's family." Mu Hongshang was afraid that Gu Yilan would be uncomfortable, so she immediately took over the conversation.

"I'm fine." Gu Yilan turned her face, patted Mu Hongsheng's hand, and said with a smile: "It's been so long, what am I not used to." You don't have to comfort me. ”

In front of Xie Shurou, the little friend, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law didn't plan to hide anything, Xie Shurou was not stupid, she immediately figured out the trick, she immediately waved her hand and said, "Alas! It's really not right for me to mention anything, but to mention this. ”

"Can I deal with someone like you?" Gu Yilan's bright eyes slanted slightly, with a look of disdain: "I haven't seen you speak with brains." ”

"Huh? You can speak fairly," Xie Shurou immediately replied unconvinced: "At most, I speak without thinking in front of Hongsheng." You can hear me say this, you are taking advantage of the red dress, you know? ”

"It's like a cat meeting a dog!" Mu Hongsheng couldn't bear to look directly and covered her eyes.

Hearing Mu Hongsheng say this, Gu Yilan and Xie Shurou were stunned at the same time, and then couldn't help laughing together.

"Alright." Gu Yilan waved her hand at Xie Shurou: "I won't quarrel with you, so I don't have to make my little sister laugh." Which family did my sixth sister book? ”

"The little boy of Lord Shen's family." Xie Shurou replied.

"Oh." Gu Yilan nodded clearly: "Kiss and kiss." Lord Shen is my second aunt's maiden cousin. ”

"I've heard that." Xie Shurou nodded: "My father took the post, and I will go to your house to eat and drink when the time comes." ”

"Your father?" Gu Yilan was very surprised: "I didn't expect your father and my second uncle to have such a good relationship." According to the general rule, the day of the wedding is not a big feast, and the family will have a maximum of two or three tables to invite some close relatives and friends. ”

"Where!" Xie Shurou shook her head: "Your father gave me an invitation to my father." Aren't they all in the household now! The waiters in the household department have all received the post, and my father and your second uncle really don't have any friendship. My dad and your dad have a good relationship. By the way, you don't know, do you? A few days ago, the household department was rewarded up and down! ”

"That's a good thing," Mu Hongshang replied, "Sister Xie's father and sister-in-law's father are both in the household department, and this is a commendation together." ”

"Why is that?" Gu Yilan asked.

"I've heard about it too." Xie Shurou replied: "Didn't you come to the north to transfer grain for disaster relief a year ago!" I heard that on the first day of the New Year's Dynasty, the household department handed over the inventory and the emperor, and the emperor was happy to see it, and rewarded the household department up and down, and also rewarded the household department He Shangshu with a royal pen, praising him for his dedication to his duties and being a good family. ”

"Is there such a thing? But a man is not to be seen. Gu Yilan frowned slightly, and some doubts swelled up in her heart. She has dealt with He Wenmao, she only thinks that she looks at people very slippery and good at drilling, but she really doesn't know what her ability is.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of expression is this," Mu Hongsheng couldn't help but smile: "The affairs of the household department have nothing to do with our family." As long as he doesn't get stuck in our money and food in the north, I think he's a good scholar. ”

"But too." Gu Yilan couldn't help laughing: "It's that I'm thinking too much." What does the matter of the household department have to do with our family? ”

"Speaking of money and food," Xie Shurou scratched her face and contributed a piece of news: "I heard that Rong Di wants to delay the payment of tribute this year, is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes." Mu Hongshang nodded: "Last winter, the northern border was hit by a disaster, and our Dazhou side was timely in disaster relief, and the situation is fine." The losses on Rong Di's side were worse than ours, and many cattle and sheep froze to death. So last year's border was not very peaceful! The small tribes always want to cross the border and plunder. A few days ago, we received a letter from the north to report safety, and we learned that my father and their month of wax were spent on the battlefield for a whole month. But no matter what, I finally got through it! It's spring! Everything will be fine. ”
