There are a total of nine girls in the Xu family, the eldest girl and the third girl are from the eldest lady Gu's family, the second girl and the fifth girl are from the Wang family in the second room, the sixth girl and the ninth girl are from the concubine room in the second room, the fourth girl and the seventh girl are from the Zhang family in the third room, and the eighth girl is from the concubine room in the third room.

After listening to this, Gu Siyan had a plan in his heart, he had a total of twelve pairs of silk flowers here, and if each girl had a pair, there would be three more pairs. Because their Gu family has a marriage contract with Dafang, he can also give two more girls from Dafang.

Gu Siyan thought about it, took out a pair of styles that had been in the past and handed them to Yang Ermiao for temporary management, and then took out the two pairs with the most complicated styles and packed them in other brocade boxes. The housekeeper silently glanced at his movements, thinking that this person had also come prepared, and had actually prepared a few boxes in advance.

But since he is so well prepared, I'm afraid his purpose is not simple!

The butler immediately regretted it, and felt that he shouldn't have talked too much just now. What about silk flowers with fresh patterns? Can their Xu family still afford it?

Forget it, anyway, their old men and wives have been galloping in the business for many years, can they still not see through a young mind? Even if this young man really has bad intentions, their master will definitely be able to see through it at a glance, and he will not really let this person take advantage.

After Gu Siyan was led into the hall, he saw the fan in Gu's hand at a glance, and couldn't help but show a smile. It seems that Xue Niang is right, even if the weather is not hot and you don't need a fan, but there are always a few girls or ladies who go out who like to bring one. Looking at this Mrs. Xu's appearance, she was indeed preparing to go out, but it was a coincidence that he came.

"Xu Shibo, I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems that the younger generation came to visit today, it seems that it is unfortunate?" Gu Siyan made a gesture to Xu Zheng and Gu respectively.

Xu Zheng smiled: "It should be a coincidence, my wife and I happened to be idle today, and you came at the right time." Sit down, magpie, tea. ”

"I look at my uncle and aunt, I want to go out, right?" Gu Siyan said embarrassedly.

Xu Zheng smiled: "It's nothing, anyway, the spring is still long, and it's the same to go out another day." How are you feeling lately? I see that your improvement is much better now than before. ”

Gu Siyan smiled and nodded: "Originally, my life was hanging by a thread, but thanks to Xue Niang who found Dr. Zhang from the Rejuvenation Hall to help me recuperate, now it is very good, but Dr. Zhang said that it will take more than half a year to recuperate." ”

"Doctor Zhang of the Rejuvenation Hall?" Gu Shi raised his eyebrows, "I remember that Dr. Zhang is not easy to invite, and the amount of money for the visit is not low." ”

Gu Siyan nodded: "Thanks to Xue Niang's old relationship with him, this allowed me to take advantage." ”

Xu Zheng heard him mention the snow girl for the second time, and couldn't help asking: "Who is this snow girl?" ”

"Oh, let Shi Bo see and smile, Xue Niang is my wife who just passed the door, her surname is Jiang, and her maiden name is Xue He." Gu Siyan said embarrassedly.

"You're married?" Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Why didn't you notify someone to tell me?" ”

Although their Xu family and the Gu family have not had much contact over the years, he has asked the housekeeper to prepare gifts for the New Year's holidays, but if their Gu family doesn't return the gift, they don't even tell themselves about such a big thing as marriage?

Gu Siyan bowed his head and said: "I was very sick at the time, and the doctor said that I would not live for two days, so Qiao's found a girl in the next village who had just kept her filial piety to give me joy." ”

"Just Shou Rexiao?" Gu Shi was a little speechless, thinking to himself, how could anyone Chongxi find someone who kept the heat and filial piety? Is this a joy or a curse? She said that none of these concubines had a good thing, and that the two of them got along quite happily when the Bai family was still alive in the past, and then the Qiao family didn't know how to do anything at all, and it was annoying.

Gu Siyan said helplessly: "Xue Niang is almost sixteen, and it was supposed to be the day to say goodbye, but suddenly her parents died, and her grandmother said that she was afraid that she would not find a good in-law in three years, so she sent it to our house to give me Chongxi." ”

The more Gu listened, the more strange he felt, thinking that he really cared about his granddaughter or didn't care about his granddaughter? It is really difficult for a country girl to wait until she is nineteen years old to marry again, let alone a person whose parents have died. But if you really feel sorry for your granddaughter, how can you send your granddaughter to Chongxi?

Xu Zheng didn't know what to say for a while, he had never encountered such a thing.

Gu Siyan said helplessly: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but fortunately, Xue Niang is here, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to sit here and visit Shibo today." ”

Xu Zheng had no choice but to say: "I'll rest assured that you're doing well." ”

"Since Xue Niang passed the door, the younger generations have been getting better and better." Gu Siyan said and asked Yang Ermiao to put everything on the coffee table in his hand, "By the way, these gifts were personally prepared by Xue Niang for his uncle and aunt." It is not a mere courtesy, and I hope that my uncle and aunt will not dislike it. ”

"Naturally, it won't, it's done." Xu Zheng listened to what Gu Siyan had just said, and felt that Gu Siyan and his wife must have been treated to death by Qiao's family, and they were afraid that they would not be able to come up with any decent gifts.

But it doesn't matter, their Xu family doesn't lack that little thing.

"Xue Niang said that now is a good day to go out, and the ladies and ladies may be able to use a fan when they go out, so she asked the third sister to embroider a fan for her aunt." Gu Siyan first took out the fan, "The embroidery on this is all embroidered by the third sister herself, and she is not good at learning, which makes my aunt smile." ”

"This is also called if you are not good at learning, but how can you make a few girls in our family live?" Gu's eyes straightened when he saw the fan, and he couldn't put it down when he took the fan, "I haven't seen such a delicate show for a long time, it seems that your sister has really learned your mother's craft." She's only thirteen this year, right? In a few years, maybe it will be better than the blue. ”

Speaking of this, Gu couldn't help but feel a little satisfied with Gu Sixian.

She originally considered getting out of the marriage, but it was not that she hated the poor and loved the rich, their Xu family's status in the county was very stable, and they could speak well in the city, so they didn't need to consider the issue of their mother's family when choosing a daughter-in-law. She just felt that the Bai family went early, and the three brothers and sisters in the East Courtyard were basically in Qiao's hands. That Qiao's slave girl was born, although she is literate but doesn't understand the rules, and she is too childish in doing things, what good can the children in the main room get if they fall into her hands?

She can have a daughter-in-law with no background, but she can't have a daughter-in-law who has no vision and is a child! Her son wouldn't like that.

However, this hand-embroidery work has changed Gu's outlook a lot, and he thought that if Gu Sixian really followed Bai's temperament, she would be a rare and good daughter-in-law. But embroidery alone doesn't mean anything, she has to find a chance to see if it's talented.

"By the way, these silk flowers are also made by the third sister, there are eleven pairs in total, and they are said to be given to a few girls of the Xu family. I saw that these two pairs did the best, so I picked them out and gave them to the eldest girl and the third girl, and there were nine pairs left, and each of the nine girls in the house had a pair. Gu Siyan said again.

"You're a careful person, and you've inquired about it before?" Gu Shi glanced at Gu Siyan, reached out and picked up the box containing nine pairs of silk flowers and handed it to the maid beside him, "Since that's the case, let's send it to the Qingyu Courtyard first and let a few girls pick it themselves." ”

Qingyu Courtyard is the residence of several girls of the Xu family, and there is a simple girls' school there, and the nine girls usually teach together, so it is the most convenient to send them there directly. As for the two pairs with the most chic and complex shapes, they will be put away separately, and she will give them to her daughter in person when the time comes.

Although Gu Shi felt that Gu Siyan had a lot of eyes, he also felt that he was doing the right thing. The two bedrooms and three rooms of the Xu family are all concubines, and Xu Zheng cherishes his brother and has not separated from him so far, but how many catties and taels are in their two rooms, and they have to count each other's hearts, right? The two daughters under her knees should have gotten the best things in this house.

Gu Siyan saw that the silk flowers had been taken away, and took out the dim sum and flower brew prepared by Jiang Xuehe: "These pastries are specially prepared by Xue Niang, and they are all made by Xue Niang herself, and I hope that my uncle and aunt will not dislike it." ”

Of course, Xu Zheng said that he would not dislike it, but Gu Shi made up his mind to be picky. She can't find fault with Gu Sixian's embroidery, but listening to what Gu Siyan said, Jiang Xuehe is just a country girl, what good things can she make? Can it compare to the best dim sum shops in the county?

But when Gu Siyan opened it, Gu Shi was stunned again: "Isn't this a new peach blossom cake some time ago?" Did your daughter-in-law make it herself? And what is the other one? ”

Gu Siyan said with a smile: "It's true that it's all made by Xue Niang herself." Father-in-law and mother-in-law used to be in the flower and plant business, Xue Niang was affected and usually liked to tinker with flowers and plants, and I don't know where to learn the peach blossom cake, which sold well in the county a while ago. However, the peach blossoms of the third uncle's family are limited, and now there is not much that can be done, and Xue Niang is afraid that it will not be enough to make a gift, so she has specially developed a pear blossom cake, which can be tasted by the aunt. ”

"It turns out that those peach blossom cakes were sold by your family before?" Gu Shi was very surprised, since she knew the Gu family, she had been seeing their family in a downfall, she didn't expect to be able to toss such a big movement.

Gu Siyan nodded: "By the way, this jar is peach blossom brew, which has been sold before, and this jar is a new pear blossom brew, which has not yet been put on the market." Xue Niang said that her uncle and aunt have the most eyesight, and I want you to try it first, if the two of you also think it's okay, she can rest assured that she can take it out and sell it. ”

Gu Shi listened to him and Xue Niang, and only thought it was very interesting, and said with a smile: "I heard that you don't leave your daughter-in-law for a word, so why don't you bring your daughter-in-law to us when you go out this time?" ”

Gu Siyan said helplessly: "It's not that I haven't mentioned it, it's just that Xue Niang feels that she is Dai Xiao, and it is inconvenient to come to the door as a guest, so she only came out with me, and now she is waiting for me in the welcoming guest." ”

"Your daughter-in-law is too careful, our two families have been in contact for so many years, should I still be taboo about this?" Gu Shi turned his head to the maid beside him and said, "You quickly find someone to welcome the guests and invite Mrs. Gu here." The one next to Gu Xian's nephew, let's go with him, so as not to find the wrong person. ”

Gu Siyan turned his head to signal, and Yang Ermiao followed out.
