Chapter 038: Counting is counting
As soon as Gu Yaolian's words fell, a slight rain fell in the air.
Xiangming held the white porcelain bowl and was nervous.
As soon as Gu Yaolian and Pei Jiao left, she found an excuse to run away from the old grandmothers.
She waited for no one around, so she hurriedly put the ice cubes that had been prepared in the small kitchen of Xiyuan into a bowl filled with mint, and came to the vicinity of the soup pool.
After the people around her were dismissed by Mama Yu, the boulder in her heart hung higher.
When Gu Yaolian came out safely, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Xiang Ming came to Zhuangzi, he listened to the path near the soup pond from the mouth of Twelve.
Although Yuan Twelve has only been here a few times, he is an idle person in his bones, so he has explored the surroundings thoroughly early.
Which road is near, which road leads in which direction, etc., Xiangming already has a number in her heart.
At that time, Ji was laughing with Aunt Ren.
Ji's tone couldn't hide the smugness, "Sister Mustard, this kid always talks about you in front of me, saying that you don't sleep well at night, and your body is always uncomfortable." Therefore, you should go out and walk around more, take a break, and then soak in the hot springs. ”
"This soup spring is a gift from God, and many bubbles can eliminate all diseases and rejuvenate themselves."
Aunt Ren's expression was faint.
Compared with the fancy Ji family, Aunt Ren's camel color looks more elegant.
Over the years, Aunt Ren has been fasting and reciting Buddha, and she always has a string of sandalwood Buddha beads engraved with scriptures on her wrist, and her whole temperament is warm and kind.
"You've got a heart." Aunt Ren replied, "I'm old, and my body is naturally not as good as before, which is a normal thing." ”
"This time, in your busy schedule, you personally took the time to accompany me to Guquanzhuang."
"Look at what you're saying, it's too outward." The corners of Ji's mouth raised slightly, and the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden, "This is what those of us who are juniors should do." ”
"The third brother and sister have been feeling unwell these days, saying that they are afraid that they will be sick to you, so they will push the trip this time. Don't take it to heart, she's filial. ”
Mama Lan followed behind them, neither walking, nor walking.
Along the way, the Ji family has not been so weird and yin and yang, saying that Wang Ruolan is ignorant and unruly.
Wang Ruolan is the only daughter of a military general, why did her body become like this, Ji, as a member of the Pei family, should know better than anyone else.
When she said this, she was poking Aunt Ren's heart with a dagger.
Did Ji really treat everyone as fools?
Although Aunt Ren's relationship with Sanfang is stiff, I'm afraid the relationship with Dafang is even worse, right?
In the past, the old uncle favored Fan Qin, who was a concubine, and as soon as Aunt Ren gave birth to Pei Erye, she was taken away by Pei Xiao's biological mother Fan Qin.
Pei Erye's mother shouted for the first time, not the Lu family, who was Mrs. Bo, let alone Aunt Ren, but Fan Qin.
Pei Erye and Fan Qin are very close, and their biological mother Aunt Ren is very cold.
Back then, Pei Erye's design made Pei Yu fall into the glacier, who knows if it was Pei Erye's idea, or Fan Qin's planning for many years?
Fortunately, now that Fan Qin is gone, how many undercurrents does the Pei family have?
Mama Lan sighed in her heart, she only felt that she was confused, and when the Ji family invited her to greet Miss Gu Er, she should have decisively chosen to leave.
"Ruolan has always been filial, but she is unwell but she has to worry about me, an old woman, and she specially sent a poor girl to accompany me." Aunt Ren smiled, "I naturally understand what she thinks." ”
As she spoke, she also turned around and accosted Mama Lan behind her, saying how filial Wang Ruolan has been over the years, and how well-behaved and sensible Gu Yaolian has been.
Mama Lan kept laughing when she heard this, and echoed that the girl raised by the third wife and the third lady herself was naturally the best.
Ji's face on the side was a little ugly, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she was very happy.
Because Pei Yu will bring Wang Ruolan to Guquanzhuang every winter, many places in this Guquanzhuang are repaired by Pei Yu himself.
Although Guquanzhuang is small, there are all kinds of pavilions.
The people here are very obedient.
The autumn drizzle is lingering, and the air carries the fragrance of gardenias, which makes people feel relaxed.
It was quiet around the pond, and a group of people stepped into the courtyard, and two young maids hurriedly ran out behind, "Auntie, eldest lady, you can't go in." ”
"Huh?" Ji Shi preemptively asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Miss Cousin is tired." The maids replied, "No one is allowed to go in." ”
Ji Shi smiled lightly, "We are not outsiders, besides, Mama Lan personally sent the best green plums from Li Zhuang to her, why should she say thank you to Mama Lan, this is the model of our young lady." ”
"No...... No...... the little maids stopped Ji who was about to step into the courtyard again, "Madam, don't embarrass the slaves." ”
"Bold!" Mama Yu hurriedly walked out from behind Ji's family, her face was already mean, and her anger was even more bitter at this time, "Who made you so unruly?" This is the eldest lady of Bofu, and it is your turn to teach her how to do things? Is she embarrassed you? Do you deserve it too? ”
The little maid was scolded by Mama Yu, and quickly knelt on the ground in fright.
"If Miss Gu will rest here, why don't I come back another day?" Mama Lan didn't want to disturb Gu Yaolian's rest, "There is a cook in Zhuangzi, and the medicinal food she makes is a must, Ming'er I will take her with me to greet Miss Gu." ”
"What's so embarrassing?" Ji Shi lost his eyes, Mama Yu hurriedly dragged Mama Lan, and Ji Shi said, "Sister Pian has always understood the rules, if she knows that you are coming, but no one tells her, she is afraid that she will be in a hurry when she wakes up." ”
"Mama Yu, you go and call Miss Cousin......"
Mama Yu smiled when she heard this, and after pulling Mama Lan forward, so that Mama Lan couldn't leave, she replied, "Yes." ”
Mama Yu turned around and entered the courtyard, and ran out in a hurry within a moment.
Her face turned pale, as if she had seen something terrible.
"Too ...... Wife. Mama Yu said, "Why don't you let Mama Lan come back another day?" Miss Cousin was indeed asleep. ”
It just so happened that a woman's coquettish voice came from inside the house.
Mama Yu's face was even more ugly.
"What the hell is going on!" Ji was very proud, but he wanted to hide the joy in his heart, so his expression was very strange, "There are no outsiders here, you hurry up." ”
Mama Yu cried, "Miss Cousin, she ...... She ......"
"She's in love with a foreign man."
As soon as the words fell, the people around them took a breath of cold air.
How old is Gu Yaolian?
"How so?" Ji pretended to be surprised, "You...... Are you mistaken? ”
"The old slave really looked." Mama Yu said, "Madam, it's true. The old slave has heard people say that Miss Biao likes to read strange books these days, and I thought she was just buying it for fun, but I don't know ......"
Mama Lan bit her tongue secretly, only to feel that what she heard was a little too appalling.
Good thing she came.
She had to quickly tell Shen Xi that this family business had to be stopped.
"Mama Yu, you must have read it wrong." Ji looked at Mama Lan with uneasy eyes, "You must have read it wrong." ”
Mama Yu and the little maids knelt on the ground and trembled, and no one dared to answer Ji's words.
"What's going on?" The girl's delicate voice sounded, breaking the deadlock, "Aunt Ren, eldest lady, why are you here?" ”
