Chapter 11 Eyeliner

"Yo, how did Aunt Zhou get here?"

It was Aunt Su's voice, and Aunt Zhou in her mouth was Lin's confidant, but I don't know how she came to this courtyard.

"The old slave has something to do with the county master."

Aunt Zhou spoke very politely today, and Gu Xiqian heard this in front of the window, so she got up and came to the door.

As soon as Aunt Zhou saw Gu Xiqian, she immediately smiled and said politely: "County Lord, after the second lady's marriage, your engagement will also be handled, Madame invites you to come over and take a look at the gift list of the banquet guests, the county lord also has some relatives in the imperial city, Madame is not clear, I am afraid that there will be omissions."

Since the Lin family took charge of the family, they have personally taken care of all matters, and they have never asked for her opinion, and her relatives in the imperial city are only her grandfather Wei's family, so what can she miss, she must be playing some tricks.

"Then please ask my aunt to return to the second lady, and I will go later."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou nodded with a smile, and walked out of the yard with an oil umbrella.

"County Lord, the second lady has always been uneasy and kind, let's really go over."

Cai Yin came out of the small kitchen and looked at her with Aunt Su a little worried.

Gu Xiqian smiled at the corner of her mouth, but she was not worried about what the Lin family would think.

"If you don't go and see, how do you know what tricks she wants to play."

I didn't go out of the courtyard for a few days, but I found that the palace was a new scene, red silk was hung high, and the lanterns were colorful, which looked very joyful at a glance, and it seemed that the Lin family had really put some thought into Gu Miaoxuan's marriage.

Stepping into the courtyard of the Lin family and entering the main hall, I saw that the Lin family was sitting upright, looking like a housewife, and when I saw Gu Xiqian entering the door, she smiled like a mother.

"The county lord is here, please take a seat."

Gu Xiqian sat aside, and the little maid offered the tea, and then she raised her eyes to look at the Lin family in the upper seat, and asked, "I heard that Madame wants to discuss the engagement with me."

Lin smiled and said: "What the prince means is that he wants the engagement banquet to be held in the palace, the prince came all the way from Yunnan, and there is only a separate garden given by the emperor in the imperial city, but it is not a mansion in the end, the prince has discussed this matter with the prince, and now it is ready to be prepared, but the county lord has some relatives in the imperial city, and I am afraid that there will be omissions, so I want to ask the county lord to take a look at the list of books."

Lin said, beckoning the maid below to hand the single book to Gu Xiqian.

Gu Xiqian took the single book, flipped through it and reviewed it, and Lin continued: "There is also the county lord to see if there is any dissatisfaction in the mansion, I am going to investigate, or if you have any opinions, you can put them forward."

Gu Xiqian flipped through the list of banquets listed by the Lin family, but felt that although the Lin family likes to play smart, but he also put some thought into the housekeeper, this single book is clearly listed, and the guests are arranged in an orderly manner according to the official position, which really makes people unable to find faults.

Gu Xiqian smiled and handed the single book to the maid on the side.

"Madame's single book is doing well, presumably in other things will be done one by one, since it is an engagement banquet held in the palace, then this banquet is also related to the face of the palace and Mrs., I naturally believe that Mrs. can do a good job."

Gu Xiqian's words, he pushed all the cumbersomeness of this matter to the Lin family, even if the Lin family was dissatisfied, they had to prepare for this engagement banquet, if there was anything wrong with the pool, and they lost the face of King Xiang, the first person to blame King Xiang was Lin.

Lin's smile was a little stiff, but she quickly recovered, she looked at Gu Xiqian's thin body, and said with a little worry: "Since the county lord has believed it, then I will take care of everything, but the county lord has been sick for many days, I don't know if this body is completely well, I have been working on the affairs of the house, and I have been negligent in the body of the county lord."

Gu Xiqian smiled faintly, this is the real purpose of the Lin family calling her over today, after all, she has been taking the poison under the Lin family for a long time, and it is really a bit unreasonable that she is not dead.

"My body has always been weak, and even if I take medicine every day, it doesn't get better, so I just stopped for a while, but I feel refreshed."

Gu Xiqian stared at Lin's cunning eyes when she said this, and sure enough, she saw a flash of nervousness.

"This county lord is not in good health, how can he stop taking medicine? Now that the engagement is imminent, it is even more important to pay attention to your body, I have prepared some tonic medicine, and the county lord will take it back to make up for the body, but this medicine still can't be stopped, and I will let the next person go to Wanshoutang to grab some good medicine for the county lord, and the county lord has to remember to drink it every day. ”

Lin said this carefully, for fear that Gu Xiqian would forget to drink the medicine.

Cai Yin and Aunt Su glanced at each other, this Lin family really didn't have a good heart.

Lin asked his subordinates to send the tonic directly to Gu Xiqian's courtyard for a while, and then opened his mouth with pretended concern.

"The county lord didn't bring more people from Jinzhou, and now only Cai Yin and Aunt Su are waiting, but Aunt Su is old, and her actions are not as dexterous as the little girls, I thought, send more people to the county lord to serve."

It seems that the Lin family really can't wait, Gu Miaoxuan's marriage is only two days, and if Gu Xiqian is in the limelight at the engagement banquet two days later, it is inevitable that there will be some gossip outside, Gu Miaoxuan's identity as a concubine, with the king of Ping, can be regarded as a high climb, she naturally doesn't want her daughter's status to be frustrated all the time.
