"Ninth sister," Mrs. Gu raised her eyes and looked at the shadow of the Fushu tree in the courtyard: "Your grandfather just threw his hands and left, in fact, he doesn't plan to interfere with us." You can rest assured, he listened to your words, he should be careful, he will be careful, he should prepare in advance, he will prepare. Although you are only suspicious of Lin Xiang's affairs, it is always right to plan ahead, your grandfather is a cautious person. You can notice the things of the fifth master of the Lin family, and you can still see the subtleties, and come back to remind the family that you are indeed smart, which is very good. But when your grandmother says you're young and ignorant, she doesn't mean she wronged you. ”

"Yes!" Gu Yilan bowed her head: "Grandmother taught me a lesson." ”

"The lesson is that the lesson is to be disagreed, right?" Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Yilan with a smile: "Also, a girl of your age, where do you know this." You are a smart child, and when you grow up and experience more, you will only be smarter. Wisdom will hurt, but it is not a lie. It's okay at home at the moment, grandmother can take care of you, but you will always get married in the future, so there is a saying that grandmother will teach you now: don't be too smart in everything, especially in front of men. ”

"Grandmother......" Gu Yilan looked at Mrs. Gu in some surprise, she never expected her to say this.

"Ninth sister, you are so smart, if you are a boy, you will definitely be able to pay homage to the prime minister," Mrs. Gu's eyes were full of pity and regret, and she stretched out her hand and touched Gu Yilan's face: "But you are a woman." It's hard to be a woman! If you were a boy, your cleverness would make your grandfather proud, but you are a girl. Smart women are not bad, for example, our Great Zhou Dynasty, heavy literature and light martial arts, the world is elegant, men hope that the women in the family are smart, able to read poetry and paint, talk about literature and Taoism, no matter what they say, women can understand. But they want women to be smart, but they don't want women to be smarter than they are. A woman who is too smart will attract the envy of men. Don't think that your father and brother or your future husband won't be jealous of you. You have to learn how to talk to men, hide your intelligence, and quietly lead them in the direction you want. ”

"Grandmother, granddaughter has been taught." Gu Yilan stood up and saluted Mrs. Gu very solemnly. These words are all Mrs. Gu's experience of being a daughter and a wife for more than 50 years, and they can really be called heartfelt words, and her grandmother really loves her and is willing to tell her these things. In the previous life, until she married into the Rongkang County Palace, her grandmother did not teach her this.

But if you think about it carefully, she probably didn't need her grandmother's advice in her last life, and Cheng Ri only had Zheng Chongjing in her heart, so stupid, she didn't need her grandmother's careful advice.

"Go ahead!" Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded: "You are smart, grandmother doesn't need to say more to you to understand." Ask the maids to bring you rice dumplings and go back. If you want to give a gift to Miss Mu, you can come and call me back when you are ready. ”

Gu Yilan agreed with a smile, took the zongzi and left Mrs. Gu's yard. She knew that she didn't need to take care of the side affairs, and with the extremely shrewd and intelligent Mrs. Gu here, everything could be assured. But she can only rely on herself to interact with Mu Hongsheng, and she has to plan carefully how to do it.

Gu Yilan knew that everything should not be too urgent, and it was very important to be in control, so Mu Hongshang had not received too many gifts from Miss Gu Mansion in these days.

That is, at the end of June, Gu Bachelor's Mansion sent someone to send a delicate carved pine box, which was covered with grass and cotton wool, and raised a very large golden worm (scarab), which was very beautiful with green in gold. It is said that Miss Gu Jiajiu bought it from the temple fair of the Liberation Festival in Daxiangguo Temple, and Mu Hongshang liked it very much.

Mu Hongshang grew so big, and never went to the Great Xiangguo Temple to see the release festival, I heard that it was particularly lively, many big families are out together, and the carriages of each family are parked on the long street in front of the Great Xiangguo Temple, which can occupy the front and back two streets.

However, Mu Hongshang also heard that their Anguo Mansion has never been to join in this excitement, and Mu Hongshang naturally didn't have the opportunity to see with his own eyes how lively the Liberation Festival was, and naturally he didn't have the opportunity to see all kinds of strange gadgets at the temple fair of the Liberation Festival.

In fact, the temple fair of the release festival of the Great Xiangguo Temple is officially run, most of the courtiers and their families will go out to see the release of life on that day, the surrounding area of the Great Xiangguo Temple is under martial law, and the ordinary people and vendors cannot approach it at all, and the so-called "small traders" who set up stalls are all the major shops in Beijing who have received the official signs, and sent people to set up stalls in the past, making them look like street vendors, putting some worthless and funny gadgets, but the price is expensive, coaxing the young masters and ladies to play.

Mu Hongshang didn't know this, she had never seen a temple fair, and the children of the Mu family didn't have a chance to see such a bustle. Two or three years ago, when Mu Zhengyi was at home, he secretly took his younger brothers to go once. The boys of the Mu family secretly went out, naturally they didn't dare to bring the old lady's baby pimple Mu Hongsheng, there were many people on the release festival, in case they bumped and got lost, their brothers couldn't afford it. Therefore, the brothers went secretly alone, and when they came back, they bought a small windmill with a ringing for Hongsheng.

Mu Hongshang still remembers that time his father lost his temper, the eldest brother was beaten, and everyone from the second brother to the younger brother was punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall, only she was fine, and she got a windmill for nothing.

In order to watch the temple fair being beaten, Mu Hongsheng thought about it and felt that it was not too much of a loss, but unfortunately she did not have such an opportunity, and in the next few years, the brothers in the family did not dare to sneak out to play. Therefore, now that Mu Hongsheng received the gold worm sent by Gu Yilan, she was really happy, and asked the maid to raise it carefully.

In May, I received a sachet during the Dragon Boat Festival, and in June, I received a small insect bought at the temple fair, and in the middle of July, Gu Shifu sent someone to send a delicate crepe river lantern.

Miss Gu Jiu didn't send people to deliver things very often, but everything was sent cleverly, Duchess An Guo looked at it coldly, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Miss Gu family is really quite troublesome." ”

"It's good that the red dress is happy." Mrs. Mu didn't want to care about it so much: "Speaking of which, this is also a trivial matter between girls, you don't need to be so careful, blindly stop it, but it will make Hongshang unhappy." Speaking of which, you are still not at ease with the red dress, in your eyes, your daughter is so stupid? So easy to be coaxed? ”

Speaking of which, Duchess An Guo is not good at saying anything, but fortunately, Miss Gu Jia is also sending some gadgets over, and the frequency is not high, let's see.
