The conversation between the mother and daughter broke up unhappily again.

Qingshu looked at An An's angry appearance and asked, "What's wrong?" Did my mother say something unpleasant again? ”

Old Madam Gu also looked at her.

If An An was afraid of the old lady's mood before, she would hide it, but now she won't: "She thinks the house is not good, and wants to renovate and build a pavilion and attic in the back garden." According to what she said, it will cost 18,000 taels of silver, which is enough money for me and my sister for four or five years. ”

Qingshu looked at Old Madam Gu and said, "Grandma, if you and your mother are willing to stay in the capital, then repair the house and renovate the back garden." ”

As for building pavilions and attics, forget about artificial mountains and rivers, that is really money-burning.

An An said: "If my grandmother and mother stay in the capital, then I have no opinion on repairing the house and tidying up the back garden." But if you stay for a month or two and leave, it's too wasteful. ”

Old Madam Gu smiled and said, "Your mother's temperament is like that, don't pay attention to her." ”

The topic continued, and everyone was in a bad mood.

Qingshu immediately changed the topic: "Grandma, last time you came and went in a hurry, this time you have to take a good look in the capital." ”

An An immediately answered: "Grandma, I'll take leave from the school and go shopping with you." ”

Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "I am preparing to go back to Fuzhou after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is not too late for you to accompany me after the holiday." Nowadays, it is still important to study. ”

An An jumped up: "Great." ”

After talking again, Old Madam Gu looked tired: "You guys are busy with yourself, I squint." ”

Lying on the bed, Mrs. Gu tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Leaning on the head of the bed, Mrs. Gu and Mother Hua said, "The gap between these two children and Xiaoxian is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Mother Hua persuaded: "Old lady, you don't have to worry about it. The eldest girl and the second girl are both good children, and they will not ignore their aunts in the future. ”

"I know, it's just ......"

In terms of food and clothing, Xiaoxian will definitely not be treated badly, but it will not be very intimate. But you can't blame the two children for this, you can only blame Gu Xian for being too worry-free.

Old Madam Gu sighed and said, "She can't change her temperament, I just hope that Shaozhou can stay so good all the time." ”

An An followed Qingshu into the study and whispered, "Sister, I'm glad I came to the capital with you." If you want to be with your mother all the time, I don't know what it's like now. ”

Qingshu knew that An An was different from her, and An An had admiration for Lin Chengyu and Gu Xian. Unlike her, she has been cold-hearted by what Gu Xian has done.

"Mother is that temperament, just don't worry about it."

Qing Shu poured some water from the blue and white porcelain bowl into the inkstone, took the ink strip and gently grinded it.

An An smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, I now understand why my grandmother didn't come to the capital." The mother didn't take the silver to heart at all, so she couldn't mess with the housekeeper. ”

Qingshu chuckled and said, "You only now found out that our mother didn't put the money at ease!" I found out when I was three years old, and you're slow enough to react. ”

An An ignored her jokes and said, "Ten thousand taels of silver don't blink your eyes." If you want to follow her temperament, the gold and silver mountains are not enough for her to spend. ”

"Sister, Shen Zhan is the most angry. If you want him to know that his mother spends money like running water, he can't make trouble again! ”

In case of Qingshu's misunderstanding, An An explained: "Sister, although the original incident was provoked by the Lu family, he believed it in a few words. In the future, his daughter-in-law will blow the wind on the pillow every day, and he will not be able to spread the word that our two industries are purchased with the Shen family's money. ”

Thinking of this, An An hugged Qingshu's arm and said, "Sister, fortunately, we have a shop, and the shop also makes money." ”

In this way, even if Shen Zhan really said this, people outside would not believe it.

Qing Shu sighed secretly, the incident that year left an indelible shadow on An An.

Pinched An An's nose, Qingshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one will dare to bully you anymore with my sister." If Shen Zhan dares to speak disrespectfully again, I will beat her all over the ground to find her teeth. ”

"Also, don't think so much about children, it's easy to get old."

An An said happily: "Even if I get old, it's a cute little old lady. ”

Qingshu couldn't laugh.

When the Wu family got the post, they sent someone back and said that Mrs. Gu was welcome to be a guest at any time.

In the afternoon, the female officials around the eldest princess's mansion came, and asked Old Madam Gu to come over tomorrow morning to see her. The eldest princess doesn't see many outsiders now, but Mrs. Gu's righteous deeds that day made her respect very much, so she made an exception.

However, the Lan family replied in the evening and invited them to come to the house as guests in three days.

Old Madam Gu said to Qingshu before going to bed: "Why hasn't the palace replied, don't you want me to enter the palace?" ”

Qingshu smiled and said, "Grandma, it will take three or five days for the woman to hand over the sign and go in." ”

According to the normal procedure, it takes three or five days, but if you find someone, you can enter the palace the next day. They're just thankful, they don't need to go to someone.

Old Madam Gu really doesn't understand these rules: "Then I'll go to see the eldest princess first, and then go to visit Old Madam Wu." ”

"Yes."

At breakfast on the second day, Mrs. Gu said to Gu Xian: "I'm going to meet the eldest princess later, you can go with me!" ”

Gu Xian was reluctant to go.

Shen Shaozhou said: "Xiaoxian, the eldest princess and the British princess have taken a lot of care of Qingshu An'an. As elders, we must go to thank others. ”

Seeing Gu Xian's reluctance, Shen Shaozhou said, "I'll accompany you later." ”

Seeing Shen Shaozhou say this, even if he was unhappy in his heart, Gu Xian didn't object anymore.

An An glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

Qingshu was a little uneasy, and said, "Grandma, I'll accompany you later!" ”

Old Madam Gu waved her hand and said, "No, you guys hurry to the school after eating." ”

It was a pleasure to meet on this day. When Mrs. Gu saw Qingshu, she told her that the eldest princess was approachable, and it was really rare to treat people so kindly as a nobleman of Tianhuang.

On the second day of school, Qingshu was grabbed by Feng Xiaoyu as soon as he entered the school: "Qingshu, your mother should have seventeen or eighteen when she gave birth to you, right?" ”

Qing Shu smiled when he saw her appearance: "Did you hear that the people in the princess's mansion said that my mother is very young, not like someone who has given birth to two children." ”

"Yes, people around my grandmother say your mother looks like she's in her early twenties. Qingshu, how does your mother maintain it? ”

Even Qingshu, who was born at the age of seventeen, is now thirty years old, and he looks about ten years younger, which is unbelievable.

"Speak quickly, speak quickly."

"She uses pearl powder to apply to her face every other day, and the rouge gouache she uses is also the best."

Gu Xian complained that the weather in the capital was too dry last night, and she applied pearl powder to her face when she went back.

"My mother's rouge gouache is also the best, but it doesn't have this effect!"

Qingshu smiled: "She doesn't care about everything and is still a child, so she looks very young." ”

Feng Xiaoyu suddenly lost interest.
