Probably accepted the lesson of being disturbed by Miss Zhuo Jiabiao and Miss San when she invited Yuan Dongchu as a guest last time, Mrs. Fang invited Gu's mother and Yuan Dongchu to come over this time, although it was very solemn, but it was arranged according to the specifications of the family banquet.

Therefore, there was no one else in the mansion today, except for Xu and Zhuo Jinglan, who greeted Gu Mu and Yuan Dongchu and others, it was Mrs. Fang who was waiting in the main room.

Although Mrs. Fang is not an official dependent, compared with the current Gu's mother and Yuan Dongchu, her status is not ordinarily high.

At this time, when he heard the passage outside the door, he did not sit on the main seat, but stood up, greeted Gu's mother who walked into the room, and said with a smile: "This is the wife of the Gu family, right?" Sure enough, it's a rare capable and neat person. ”

The Zhuo family gave face like this, and Gu's mother of course had to continue.

She glanced at Yuan Dongchu first, and understood that this was the housewife of the Zhuo family in front of her, so she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen the eldest lady, but it's a mountain woman, and the eldest lady has really won the award." ”

Since the Zhuo family is optimistic about Gu Tiancheng and Yuan Dongchu, the two potential stocks, and intends to bring the relationship between the two closer in the early stage, the goodwill they show will certainly not be just on the surface.

Mrs. Fang didn't let Gu's mother really salute, and hurriedly took two steps to support Gu's mother, and said, "Mrs. is not happy like this, we are the same age, we can't lose the rules." ”

As he spoke, he took Gu's mother's arm and walked towards the first wide low couch.

The two of them made a little concession, and Mrs. Fang and Gu's mother were the guests, one east and one west, and sat on the low couch.

The juniors waited for the opportunity to come forward to salute.

Mrs. Fang and Gu's mother met politely, which gave Xiuchun and Xiaocui some time to adapt.

The two of them kept the same smile as Yuan Dongchu, watching the two elders humble each other. On the one hand, as far as the eye can see, I swept the furnishings in the room without a trace, which made up for the regret of not seeing the landscape in the courtyard before.

The things in the room, such as multi-treasure grids, screens, desks, flower stands, etc., were all styles that the two of them had never seen. And the items on these pieces of furniture are also beautiful that they have never seen.

These pieces of furniture are scattered throughout the room, some beautifully carved and some plain and smooth. Either way, there is a very calm sense of heaviness.

It looks like the furniture has been used for a few years, but it doesn't look old at all, but has a soft and smooth halo, which gives people a soft and comfortable feeling.

Corresponding to the age of the furniture, the cushions, pillows, curtains and other things in the room, or the materials used are bright and dazzling, or subtle and restrained, but they all look new, at least not for a long time.

Xiuchun and the others thought about it a lot, maybe it was to receive Gu's mother and Yuan Dongchu, and the Zhuo family changed the supplies to show their attention.

Yuan Dongchu's last time he came to Tongzhou was not a long time, but in the few days that he was in and out of the Zhuo family, it was from morning to night. Counting it, she and Mrs. Fang Da are familiar.

The two elders sat down, and she stepped forward first to greet Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang hurriedly raised her hand and said in an affectionate tone: "Hurry up, come over and let me take a look." I haven't seen you in a few days, it's weird. ”

Yuan Dongchu still saluted uprightly before getting up and standing in front of Mrs. Fang with a smile.

Mrs. Fang took her hand and took a look.

Mrs. Fang is really not a lie, she is really rare This girl, top-level generosity, top-level ability, this is the only girl she has ever seen who gives her this feeling.

The daughter-in-law and second daughter who had contact with Yuan Dongchu were also a lot more diligent in the days that followed, whether it was taking care of things at home or reading and learning words, they were very motivated.

Mrs. Fang didn't forget that there were two other guests, so she just looked at Yuan Dongchu attentively and didn't say much, but the kindness and kindness in her eyes was enough to explain the emotions in her heart.

When she looked at Xiuchun and Xiaocui again, there was still a gentle and relieved look on her face, and she asked kindly, "Miss Yu and Miss Liu, right?" ”

Xiuchun and Xiaocui hurriedly took half a step forward, thinking about Yuan Dongchu's daily reminder to maintain their posture and appearance, and then according to the rules of their daily elders, they curtsy meticulously: "The eldest lady is fine, Xiuchun (Xiaocui) has seen the eldest wife." ”

"It's all right, get up." Mrs. Fang had another accident, although she was prepared, the girl who could be brought out by Yuan Dongchu should have something extraordinary.

But it should be difficult for a girl from a civilian family to enter a house like theirs, and still maintain the same demeanor as them, but not rude, right?

With admiration in her heart and appreciation on her face, Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "If you don't see anything outside, I won't treat Dongchu as an outsider." You two are sisters at the beginning of winter, and of course we are very close. Come on, don't stand, come and sit. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and greeted Yuan Dongchu: "I treat you as my own child, don't stand there, beckon the little sister to sit down and talk." ”

Xu Shi and Zhuo Jinglan, as the hosts, also stepped forward to sit at the same table with Yuan Dongchu.

Because of Gu's mother who came this time, Mrs. Fang didn't prepare a meeting gift for the juniors, but just asked Mama Zhao and the maid, who were waiting closely, to put the carefully prepared tea and dried fruit refreshments on the table.

Mrs. Fang and Gu's mother sat across the kang table and chatted very homely.

Some talked about the countryside anecdotes, and some praised each other's children for their excellence, and then complained about their own baby's various worries, and the two actually talked about it very closely.

For these, Xu's, Zhuo Jinglan and Yuan Dongchu could only listen, while they had to respond, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time.

It just so happened that Mrs. Fang Da complained that Zhuo Jinglan was not calm enough, so Xu took the opportunity to quip: "Jinglan is really ambitious." We picked up my aunt and a few people at the beginning of winter, and on this part of the way back, Jinglan didn't know how to treat guests well, so she just pestered Miss Yu and Miss Liu to ask questions, and she was still unsatisfied when she entered her mother's yard. ”

"Really?" Mrs. Fang was surprised. Hasn't she, the girl, always been thinking about seeing Yuan Dongchu again? How can you talk so well with the two girls you met for the first time?

"What did you say about something interesting?" Mrs. Fang asked with a smile.

Zhuo Jinglan immediately came to the spirit.
