Chapter 018: Why?
Gu Yaolian was wearing a white skirt, combing an ordinary hanging bun, and two extremely light-colored beaded flowers on her head.
Mother Zhong felt that this body was too elegant, so Xiangming took out the hibiscus jade and put it on for her.
Gu Yaolian was already thinner than women of the same age, and this kind of dress looked even more pitiful, like an orchid on the branches in the morning.
Pei Jiao has always known that Gu Yao is good-looking, but he doesn't want her to dress up so plainly, but he still can't hide her appearance.
Fortunately, Gu Yaolian's figure is not plump.
Dayan women are beautiful with plumpness, and if Gu Yaolian has more flesh on her body, she is afraid that it will be even more dazzling.
Pei Jiao looked down at his overly rounded hands, took a deep breath and said, "A few days ago, my sister's aunt sent a few jars of snow water buried in the ground, saying that it was used to make tea, which is the best. I boiled this year's new tea for Aunt Ren's grandmother, and she said that the tea was fragrant and delicious, which was very good. ”
"My aunt treats my sister best, and I am also stained with my sister's light." Pei Jiao smiled and asked, "Did my sister use this snow water to make tea?" ”
Gu Yaolian glanced at Pei Jiao, but muttered in his heart, the more you ask like this, the more I dare not use the things sent by the Liu family.
"I don't like tea." Gu Yaolian shook his head, "No matter how good the tea is here, it is also a bitter taste." ”
"I like the sour plum soup, which is very appetizing with some hawthorn slices."
Pei Jiao frowned, why didn't she remember that Gu Yaolian liked to eat these sour things?
"Sister, are you joking with me?" Pei Ji said, "My sister's seventh aunt has always cared about my sister, and my eyes are hot when I look at it." ”
"It's not bad for my aunt to treat my third cousin." Gu Yaolian blinked, "I used to like the jasper bracelet on my aunt's hand the most, but my aunt said that the jasper was too dark in color and too many impurities, and it was not worth any silver at all." I was young at the time, and I wanted to like it, but I didn't care whether it was valuable or not, so I opened my mouth to my aunt. ”
"Later, I also understood that when my aunt said these words, she was actually refusing politely."
"But I don't want my aunt to give me something, but now it's for my third cousin."
Gu Yaopian pretended to be envious, "People who don't know still think that my seventh aunt is the third cousin's own aunt!" ”
When Pei Jiao heard this, his face turned pale.
She subconsciously held the bracelet and wanted to hide her exposed wrist in the cuff.
Gu Yaolian seemed to be saying that she was envious of her, but she was also reminding her that the bracelet that Liu Xiang gave her was a defective product.
Gu Yaolian has been raised by Wang Ruolan's side since he was a child, and the clothes he wears are top-notch, so he can naturally distinguish the quality of jade.
And she can't.
Gu Yaolian looked at Pei Jiao tightly closing his lips and stopped talking, feeling that his surroundings were finally quiet.
She used to take care of Pei Jiao's shaky self-esteem, and never said anything to Pei Jiao. But now, Pei Jiao uses her and her aunt to show goodwill with the big house and communicate with the Liu family.
Is she really out of temper?
She will let Pei Jiao accompany her to Liu's house this time, just to reassure her aunt.
And she wants to kill two birds with one stone, so that Gu Yaoqing and Pei Jiao will eat each other's dogs.
The carriage stepped on the bluestone-paved ground, making a 'boom, boom' sound, and Gu Yaolian stepped into the gate of the Liu family for the first time after being reincarnated.
The Liu family is located in Sanliu Lane, and my grandfather bought this house because of the name of this alley.
Gu Yaolian didn't expect that it was Steward Zhou who came to lead her today.
"Miss Cousin, please come with me." When Steward Zhou saw Gu Yao, he smiled rarely, "The eldest girl is waiting for you in the Buddha Hall." ”
Gu Yaolian's mother, Liu, is a married woman, and the tablet cannot be left in the ancestral hall of the Liu family, so the tablet of the Liu family has always been placed in the small Buddha hall next to the ancestral hall.
"Thank you, Steward Zhou." Gu Yaolian asked the others to lead Xiangming and Pei Jiao to the living room not far from the ancestral hall, while he went all the way with Zhou Steward alone.
"I wonder if Satsuki is okay?" Gu Yao took the initiative to ask, "I'm afraid you're frightened, right?" ”
Can you not freak out?
This time, the girls who didn't listen to Yuan Twelve's persuasion, one of them couldn't find the corpse, and they couldn't see anyone alive or dead.
As for the others, they died even more tragically.
"Thank you Second Miss for saving Xiaoyue's life." Steward Zhou stopped and gave a big salute to Gu Yao, "Xiaoyue was scared sick, so she couldn't come to visit Miss Xie in person." ”
"I am kind to the Zhou family." Gu Yao said pitifully, "How do you want to thank me?" ”
In Gu Yaolian's memory, although Steward Zhou is a person who must repay him, he loves his daughter Zhou Xiaoyue very much.
Yuan Twelve was afraid that she had already told the Zhou family that it was her words that saved Yuan Rongxue and Zhou Xiaoyue.
Steward Zhou can appear here today, presumably he is also here to thank him personally.
But words are too light-
She asked for something else.
"I heard from Twelve that Rongxue and Xiaoyue will go to Xiangsheng Lake to pray for Achai's blessings." Gu Yao saw that Steward Zhou was in a dilemma, and then said, "The life span of a dog is not long, but it is not short. Why did Satsuki's dog suddenly disappear? Could it be that the Zhou family is hungry or frozen? ”
Steward Zhou immediately defended, "How could my Zhou family bully a puppy." ”
Although he is only the steward of the Liu family, he still has the ability to give the dog a bite to eat.
His daughter liked the dog, so he naturally wanted to make her happy and feed the dog bones and meat.
"Yes, it's not good for the Zhou family to treat Ah Chai, but Ah Chai is gone, I'm afraid this dog is unlucky." Gu Yao sighed, "Nanshan's Death Lake is remote and difficult to travel, it is said that there are still wild wolves coming in and out at night, why do Xiao Yue and Melting Snow have to go to Life Lake?" ”
"Especially the girl of the Zhang family, she can't be persuaded no matter how much she can't be persuaded, it's really strange."
Steward Zhou's face turned pale when he heard this.
Ah Chai was picked up by Miss Zhang and his daughter, and the father of the Zhang family girl didn't like these cats and dogs, so it was Zhou Xiaoyue who was taking care of Ah Chai all the time.
Just half a month ago, Achai suddenly disappeared.
Steward Zhou thought that it was just a dog, and he didn't take it to heart, so he ordered someone to bury it.
How did Zhou Xiaoyue suddenly tell him that he was going to Xiangsheng Lake to pray for Ah Chai, so that Ah Chai could be a good person in the next life.
Steward Zhou scoffed, thinking that his daughter was simply unreasonable.
But later, when he learned that the Zhang family, the Yuan family and other children who were good friends with his daughter were going, he also agreed.
The children are young, and they don't play together because of profit. But in the future, these relationships can also be converted into interests.
"Why?" Steward Zhou didn't understand, these children were not born noble, they were all the children of some housekeepers, what was the use of calculating them?
Gu Yaolian's expression was also very confused, "Yes, why?" ”
This year, there were at least dozens of little girls who disappeared and died mysteriously in the capital, and the uproar was so loud that even Shuntianfu was alarmed.
But it didn't work out later, so many people were speculating that it was the Kong family.
Only the Kong family dared to be so arrogant.
Gu Yaolian was disdainful of this, she survived because of Kong Zhao in both lives, and Yingzhou needed the existence of the Kong family more in the future.
Therefore, she will not stand idly by, and she will definitely catch the clues and wash away the grievances of the Kong family.
Steward Zhou stopped in front of the Buddha Hall, left a sentence to ask Gu Yaolian not to eat the eldest girl's tea and left.
Gu Yaolian raised his eyebrows slightly, but Gu Yaoqing walked over.
"Sister." With tears in her eyes, "I thought you wouldn't see me anymore." ”
