"My grandmother was very careful in these things." Gu Yilan replied: "When I was not married, she gave you birthday gifts every year, and she had to live the purpose in person. ”

"No wonder." Mu Hongshang replied: "I don't think too many people in Beijing should know when my birthday is." My birthday has always been celebrated by my family, and in previous years, in addition to my family, that is, you and Sister Xie knew about it, and they would send me a birthday gift. Oh, by the way, and the queen, the queen will also give birthday gifts. ”

"The queen deliberately rewards you with such a birthday gift every year, who can hide it? When is your birthday, I'm afraid most people in Beijing know it. Gu Yilan personally helped Mu Hongshang put on her skirt: "So you don't have to worry about me, I'll go back tomorrow and take a look, and I'll be back soon." I will cook your own noodles at noon. ”

"Big brother is really." Mu Hongshang raised her mouth and complained: "It's been a month, and I haven't heard any news back, and I don't know when I will be able to return to Beijing." ”

"What are you anxious about," Gu Yilan smiled and pinched Mu Hongsheng's face: "I'm not in a hurry, but you are talking about it every day." When it was time to come back, he naturally came back, and he didn't come back yet, it must be because he couldn't get out of the north. ”

Mu Hongshang raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Yilan, her ruddy little mouth moved slightly, but she didn't say anything. Gu Yilan suddenly understood Mu Hongsheng's expression, and said with a smile: "Look, you are starting to worry about it again." I'm very good, with you with me, I'm not lonely at all. ”

"Yes," Mu Hongsheng nodded immediately, and began to change the topic very cooperatively: "Sister Xie will definitely send a cake tomorrow." She said she had to eat cake on her birthday. Sister-in-law hasn't eaten yet, right? Grandmother likes the cake made by Sister Xie. ”

"Cake?" Gu Yilan was a little curious: "What kind?" Is it like a mille-feuille cake or a steamed cake? ”

"It's not." Mu Hongshang shook his head: "It's softer than steamed cakes, and it's also sweet, with some egg flavor." It's good-looking, and my grandmother likes it very much at home, and everyone else has a lively meal. ”

"Then I'll write to her." Gu Yilan immediately replied: "Let her write the method for me." Since my grandmother liked it, I tried to do it at home. ”

"No, you don't." Mu Hongshang shook her head: "Sister Xie sends snacks every three or five days, if my grandmother is hungry and wants to eat one day, I will write to her and tell her that she can help make it." ”

"I'll ask her anyway." Gu Yilan shook her head: "Why do you want her to help me honor my grandmother, I want to come by myself." ”

Hearing Gu Yilan's words, Mu Hongsheng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Sister-in-law, you and Sister Xie are sometimes really, more like children than me, and they seem to be angry all day long, and they have to fight for everything." Now I remember that we used to play together, and you two pretended to be sisters in front of me, which is really embarrassing for you. ”

"This is also a helpless thing," Gu Yilan pulled Mu Hongshang and turned around, looking at the back waist of the skirt: "People and people, sometimes you have to pay attention to the edge." Xie Shurou and I belong to the kind of people who are born to be incompatible, and they don't like each other. ”

"But if you really talk about it," Mu Hongshang commented with a smile, "I think you still treat each other as friends." Last year in Princess Ningfu's Mansion, I saw you and Li Yunshu arguing, and the two sang and partnered, and they had a very tacit understanding. ”

"Whether you can be considered a friend depends on who you compare with." Gu Yilan couldn't help but laugh when she thought of what happened at that time: "Compared with Li Yunshu, of course I can be regarded as Xie Shurou's friend." Li Yunshu was her enemy, and the Li family almost killed her. "Read a book with a quick eye

"Sister Xie said that one yard is one yard, and she doesn't do anything about Li Yunshu himself." Mu Hongshang replied: "Sister Xie said that Li Yunshu is a girl in the back house, so she doesn't have the ability to buy off the guards in their Xie Xiang's mansion." She said that the hands of the Li family can't be recorded on Li Yunshu's head at will, they are all girls in the back house who can't help themselves, so why bother with each other. ”

"What did she say?" Gu Yilan was a little surprised: "That's right, but let me take a look at it." When Xie Shurou was normal, she was indeed smart and reasonable. It's a pity that she doesn't have many normal times, and most of the time she is open-mouthed and says some indecent nonsense. ”

"I'm going to tell Sister Xie." Mu Hongsheng almost looked up with a smile: "What's not normal, it's obviously good." ”

"Follow you to report to God," Gu Yilan also smiled cheerfully: "I am generous to say bad things about her, so I am not afraid of reaching her ears." ”

"Sister Xie is also like this in front of us," Mu Hongshang said after laughing enough: "Just like a sister-in-law, she is very dignified and virtuous on weekdays, that is, she is so lively in front of me and Sister Xie." ”

"Nonsense." Gu Yilan smiled and poked Mu Hongsheng's forehead: "I am also very dignified and virtuous now." Okay, the back waist needs to be tightened here, you go to the outside room to show the water chestnut and Chunhui first. ”

"Is it pretty?" Mu Hongshang jumped down from the kang with her skirt and asked while putting on her shoes.

"Naturally, it's good-looking." Gu Yilan nodded heavily: "Such a rare hibiscus weaving flower red cloud brocade can only be lined with my red clothes." ”

Not long after Mu Hongshang ran out, Chun Hui followed in, and couldn't stop praising Mu Hongsheng's beautiful skirt and her good needlework. Gu Yilan smiled and listened for a while before she spoke: "If I praise it, I can also handle the needlework and thread." ”

"Grandma Da Shao," Chunhui asked again, "It's not early, Madame should get up for lunch, and the slave has to go back." How to reply to the post sent by the university scholar's mansion, the slave and maid have to ask the eldest grandmother to show it. ”

"I'm sorry for you to tell your aunt," Gu Yilan replied with a smile: "My father has arrived in the capital today, so my grandmother wants to take me back to have a look." If you can, the Gu family will pick me up tomorrow and take me back to my parents' house, I plan to leave after breakfast and come back before lunch. Later, I'll go to my grandmother and mother and ask for advice. ”

Chunhui was actually quite surprised. It's really strange that this young grandmother finally went back to her parents' house, and she only planned to stay for about an hour, right? However, Gu Yilan's affairs Chunhui will not talk much, she is thinking in private, probably because tomorrow is the birthday of the eldest lady, so the young grandmother wants to go early and return early?

"The slave knows." Chun Hui was only slightly stunned because of this, and nodded at Gu Yilan: "Later, the slave maid will prepare the gift for the young grandmother to return to her parents' house tomorrow and send it to your yard for you to see first." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Gu Yilan smiled and thanked Chunhui, and then instructed Fangxin to send Chunhui out.

When Chunhui left, she sighed, picked up the skirt that Mu Hongshang had just changed, lowered her head and was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Hongsheng, do you think I'm particularly unfilial." It was a great joy for my father to be transferred back from Ningling, but I actually ...... Actually, I don't really want to go back. ”
