A person's clothing may prove his wealth, but a person's actions can prove his upbringing.

And this lady is obviously a very cultured person.

Hearing the words of the principal, Gu Jiu nodded, and after getting the backyard, the principal pushed the door in first, and said with a smile: "Madame, our young owner is here." ”

Gu Jiu walked in and glanced at him quietly.

There was a woman sitting in the room, looking about thirty years old, full of heroic spirit, although there were traces of time, but it was not very obvious.

She wore a half-worn dark skirt and her hair was fastened with hairpins, and nothing else.

When she saw the visitor, the woman stood up first, smiled and returned the salute to the principal, and then looked at the door.

"The young owner is fine."

When the woman spoke, her voice was a little hearty, and the pitch was not high, which was very pleasant to listen to.

Gu Jiu suddenly had a little good impression, and saluted with a smile: "Hello this lady, please take a seat quickly." ”

After taking a seat, Gu Jiu instructed the principal to go down first, and he asked with a smile: "I heard that Madame came to look for relatives, I don't know where you are?" ”

When the woman heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "The concubine's surname is Xie Yuanzhu, who was originally from the border city, and then lived in Youzhou with her husband. There is a younger brother in the family, named Yuancheng. This time, when I heard that the Gu family had posted a list, I learned that my younger brother was looking for relatives, so I came. ”

Her information is all right, Gu Jiu looked at her appearance, and first confirmed one or two in his heart, and at this time, after hearing Xie Yuanzhu finish speaking, he asked thoughtfully: "I don't know if you have any tokens?" ”

Hearing this, Xie Yuanzhu shook his head and said, "Ah Cheng must recognize me when he sees me." ”

When she said this, she paused, and then asked, "I take the liberty of asking, I don't know who you are, madam?" ”

Looking at Gu Jiu's dress, he is also married. She had just arrived in Shangjing, and she didn't know much about the situation here, but now that she saw Gu Jiu, she became more and more curious about what her identity was and how she knew her brother?

The next moment, Gu Jiuwen laughed and said: "My husband's surname is Qin, and Qin Zheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, is my husband." Mrs. Xie, you should know Lin Yuandai, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, I saw Xie Yuanzhu's expression change, his expression was a little more joyful, and his voice was eager: "Mei Niang...... How do you know her name, you are the daughter-in-law of the Ming Kingdom Mansion? ”

Her hand holding the teacup trembled a little, and even the tail of her eyes turned a little red, both wanting to confirm it, but also a little reluctant to believe it.

Yes, when the Lin family got married, he married the son of the Ming Mansion, who was also surnamed Qin, and seemed to be called Qin Zhao.

Qin Zheng, it's her son, right?

Seeing this, Gu Jiu became more and more sure in his heart, and said with a warm smile: "I am indeed her daughter-in-law, but now there is no Mingguo Mansion." ”

When Gu Jiu said this, he saw that Xie Yuanzhu's hands were trembling a little, and he knew that she wanted to be crooked, so he softened his voice again: "Madame, don't worry, my mother and husband are all right." Mother is now in the other courtyard, you can rest for a while, I have already sent someone to invite her, and I will come later. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Yuanzhu's eyes became a little more joyful, and he got up to thank him again, but was supported by Gu Jiu.

"Madam, don't torture me, speaking of which, I'm still a junior."

She helped Xie Yuanzhu sit down again, and she went out.

After ordering his subordinates to invite someone, Gu Jiu went and returned: "Madam, please wait, mother is close, and she will come sooner." As for Mr. Xie, the academy is on the outskirts of Beijing, and it will be noon at the earliest, so I just have to bother you to wait for a while. ”

Xie Yuanzhu originally only had a little hope when he came, but at this moment he was shocked by surprise, his face was both happy and a little sad, and his expression was even more like crying and laughing.

Seeing her like this, Gu Jiu took the handkerchief and handed it to her, and said softly: "It's a good thing for relatives to see each other, why is Madam crying?" ”

Seeing this, Xie Yuanzhu said a little arrogantly: "I'm just too excited, I didn't expect that I would be able to see Ah Cheng and Meiniang ......in my lifetime."

Mei Niang, that should be Lin's small character.

Gu Jiu heard Xie Yuanzhu's words, and felt that there seemed to be an inside story here, but now that he saw her like this, it was inconvenient to ask more, so he could hear people knocking on the door, got up and went over to open the door.

Knowing that Xie Yuanzhu hadn't eaten before, Gu Jiufang ordered someone to make her something to eat.

"I don't know what you like to eat, I think you have made some light appetizers day and night, Madame should pad your stomach a little."

Gu Jiu said as he put the food on the table, thought about it, and said with a smile: "If there is anything you want to eat, just tell me, and I will send someone to buy it." ”

Hearing her words, Xie Yuanzhu immediately smiled and waved his hand: "It's already good, don't bother." ”

She thought about it, and didn't know what to call Gu Jiu, and there was a slight pause for a while.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "If Madam doesn't dislike it, just call me Ah Jiu with the elders." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yuanzhu didn't squirm, and responded with a smile: "Thank you Ah Jiu, you can go quickly, I'll stay here by myself." ”

These nobles have a lot of things to do, and it's not good to spend time here for themselves.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu smiled softly: "Madam doesn't have to be polite to me, I have nothing to do." Besides, my mother's affairs are the most important things to me. ”

When she said this, she arranged the dishes and chopsticks for Xie Yuanzhu, and said with a warm smile: "Madam, eat it while it's hot, it's not delicious if it's cold." ”

I just heard the principal say that she hasn't eaten much since she came, and she thinks that she is also worried about things in her heart, so she can't eat.

Xie Yuanzhu answered, Gu Jiu was afraid that she would be restrained, so after greeting her for a few words, he went out of the door.

Only the space in the room was left to Xie Yuanzhu.

After the other party finished eating, Lin also came in a hurry.

"Ah Jiu, I heard them say, you have someone here, your name is ...... Xie Yuanzhu? ”

Lin was also really taken aback, both excited and afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he hurried over at this time, his expression was unusually indifferent.

Seeing her like this, Gu Jiu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and responded with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, the people are here with us, I'll take you over." ”

When she said this, she led Lin to the backyard.

On the contrary, the Lin family couldn't restrain his emotions a little, grabbed Gu Jiu's hand and asked, "Can you hear clearly, is it really Xie Yuanzhu?" ”

Seeing this, Gu Jiu smiled helplessly, and nodded in response: "Or, mother go over and take a look for herself?" ”

No, she should be recognizable at a glance.

Lin was a little homesick, and subconsciously stopped and sorted out his clothes: "Look at it, my clothes are decent?" When I came, I didn't have any makeup properly, and my hair was messy. ”

The way she looked, Gu Jiu was sad and funny, because she held her hand softly, and said softly: "Mother has always been the best-looking, and today is no exception." ”

The little girl was obedient and poured out as if she didn't want money, but it caused Lin to calm down a little, and she glanced at her again and smiled: "You are used to saying good things and coaxing me." ”

But in the end, I wasn't so nervous.

She took a deep breath, followed Gu Jiu to the door, and buckled the door.

"Come in."

A woman's voice sounded from inside, and Lin pushed open the door and walked in.

Xie Yuanzhu was still holding chopsticks in his hand, and when he saw the comer, he first shook it, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.

The next moment, I saw Lin walking over quickly, but there was a cry in his voice: "It's really you!" ”

She walked over and stood in front of Xie Yuanzhu, and the other party was also stunned for a moment, and it took a while to come back to her senses, but she pursed her lips and smiled: "Why haven't you changed for so many years?" On the contrary, I'm old! Good eyebrows, you have to tell me, what kind of panacea did you take? ”

As soon as these words came out, the tears that Lin was about to shed before were held back alive.

She glanced at Xie Yuanzhu with disgust, glanced at her and said, "You haven't changed, why are you still so poor now?" ”

The two squeezed each other, and Xie Yuanzhu took Lin's hand affectionately and sat down.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Gu Jiu consciously withdrew from the door, and walked to the door without wanting to, but saw Lin Shi turn around and beckoned to her with a smile: "This is my daughter-in-law Gu Jiu, Ah Jiu, come and see your Aunt Xie." ”
