Su Jinyao put down the handkerchief and picked up the chopsticks while asking.

This time, it was Gu Yuxuan who asked well: "Second sister, what did you do to Feng Shusheng?" We didn't hear the screams. But the guy who came to report was so frightened that his face turned white and said it was ...... I'm afraid that someone will die, so let grandpa go over and take a look. ”

Gu Shangqing took over the conversation again and said: "But grandpa believes you very calmly, and said: It's okay, it won't be our Gu family who died." ”

Ahem, Su Jinyao coughed, and looked at the old man. She really didn't expect her grandfather to believe in her abilities so surely.

Well, that's right, it won't be someone from the Gu family who died, it's someone from the Feng family?

Su Jinyao smiled and grinned: "Grandpa, you guessed wrong, the people of the Feng family are not dead, I have treated him, and he can barely survive until the New Year." ”

"Well, that's good. Our family can also spend the New Year in peace. Old Man Gu smiled and nodded, then picked up his chopsticks and said, "Okay, eat, eat." ”

The corners of Prime Minister Gu's mouth, who had always been calm, couldn't help twitching, but he didn't say anything, and picked up the chopsticks.

What can he say? There used to be such a person in the family, but that person grew up to become a great man, and even sacrificed his life for the country and died on the battlefield.

Now that the third brother's daughter is back, she is really the same as the third brother. I believe that if the third brother is still alive, he will not allow anyone to come to the Gu family to make trouble.

Mrs. Gu looked at the old man, then at Gu Shangqing and Su Jinyao, and finally looked at her daughter Gu Yuxuan with a worried face.

I want to compensate

Mrs. Gu was actually worried that if Su Jinyao continued like this, would her little daughter also become a little overlord?

For Gu Xueqi, Mrs. Gu was not worried at all. Xueqi has suffered from leg disease since she was a child, so her temperament has been quiet and she has never been naughty.

On the contrary, this Gu Yuxuan was favored by the whole family at a young age, and he changed from naughty and naughty when he was a child to a little willful.

Mrs. Gu couldn't help but think of the fact that before, Gu Yuxuan ran out of the house privately, climbed the wall in the middle of the night and was caught by Gu Shangqing and sent back.

If she hadn't been caught by Shang Qing that time, the family wouldn't have been able to find Yuxuan for a while, so she would have gone to find Xiaocheng'er......

If you can't find it, it's okay to be in the small city, if you really find it for Gu Yuxuan, the lonely men and widows stay together, I'm afraid they will also fall into the truth.

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and in the end, Mrs. Gu didn't even have the courage to pick up chopsticks. Looking at the daughter next to me, the more I look at it, the more worried I become.

Prime Minister Gu noticed his wife's abnormality, and couldn't help but call softly: "Minzhi? ”

"Oh. Yes? Mrs. Gu Tong Minzhi was stunned for a moment, then she came back to her senses and looked at Prime Minister Gu, but her eyes were still at a loss for a moment.

Although Prime Minister Gu didn't know what his wife was thinking, he knew by looking at her eyes that she must have something in mind. But it was inconvenient to bring it up at this time, so he asked: "Minzhi, I just want to ask, how are the preparations for the Jinyao ceremony tomorrow?" ”

When the old man Gu heard this, he also put down the chopsticks in his hand, and thought that Mrs. Gu would come over here.

It can be seen that the old man Gu also attaches great importance to Su Jinyao's Gua Jin Ceremony.

Mrs. Gu felt the old man's gaze, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes, it's all ready." I was about to finish my meal and talk to my dad. See if there's anything missing. ”

Madame Gu understood, although it was said that the preparation for this Gupta ceremony was a little hasty. But for the Gu family, Su Jinyao is the one who is about to become the crown princess, so naturally she can't be sloppy.

The old man nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I'll stay after dinner, and listen to tomorrow's arrangements." ”

With the words of the old man, the whole family lowered their heads and ate seriously.

Su Jinyao originally had a vague impression of Gua Jin's matter, and she just went through the motions. But now that I see the whole family looking serious, I can't help but pay attention to it.

It's just that everyone is eating, but no one really notices Feng Shusheng who is still lying under the pergola in the small garden.

Although the pain in his forehead just now was unbearable, but after such a while, he didn't know if it was the cool breeze blowing comfortably at night, or if it was really useful to be bitten by the Divine Gu King, the pain in his forehead was reduced, and the pain in his hand disappeared all at once.

For Feng Shusheng, starting from the palm of his hand, it was as if there were thousands of insects crawling in his body, which was painful and itchy, and it was uncomfortable to drill his heart.

And that feeling starts from the palm of the hand, slowly spreads to the arm, and finally spreads to the whole body.

The thought of Gu worms being countless tiny insects that were messing around in the blood vessels and muscles under the skin of his body at this time, Feng Shusheng felt as if he was going to die in the next moment.

But that feeling really disappeared in an instant, and he was there

When I think about it inadvertently, it's as if it never hurt.

Feng Shusheng looked at the originally blackened palm, and found that the black had faded. When I rolled up my sleeves again, I saw that the black lines that had spread from my wrists to my elbow sockets were gone.

"Does it really work? How can a stinky girl be so kind? Although Feng Shusheng was still scolding on his lips, he sat up and looked at his hands repeatedly, and began to believe that the Gu poison had been temporarily suppressed.

The reason why I say it is temporary is because the black in the palm of my hand is still there, just like when he was first poisoned.

Taking a deep breath, Feng Shusheng's face once again returned to that kind of pleasant smile, a little ruffian-like smile, but because of a very thoughtful face, it looked playful and uninhibited.

Once again, after making sure that Gu Poison was fine for the time being, he rubbed his forehead, which was slightly numb but no longer in severe pain, Feng Shusheng really couldn't guess what the little girl named Su Jinyao was thinking and why she was doing this.

"Whatever, I'll talk about it later." Feng Shusheng has a good brain, but he simply doesn't think about things that he can't figure out.

Because Feng Shusheng can be sure that Su Jinyao will not want his life, but just let him suffer a little.

With a sneer, Feng Shusheng took a deep breath and stood up from the ground.

However, as soon as his feet were propped up, he let out another miserable howl and sat back down.

"Dead girl, my foot must have been broken. Ahhh......h

Now his hands don't hurt, his head doesn't hurt anymore, but his feet hurt so badly, it really hurts him to death!!

Because dinner took longer than usual and was later than usual, after everyone had eaten, Mrs. Gu let the kitchen loosen some greasy soup and tea.

The food on the table was withdrawn, and everyone sat in the hall drinking hot soup and tea.

The old man swallowed a sip of slightly sweet wolfberry chrysanthemum tea, raised his head and looked at Su Jinyao first, and then asked, "Jinyao, how have you learned tomorrow?" ”

Su Jinyao put down the bowl in her hand, sat up straight and said with a smile: "I've learned everything." I have also explained the process of the ceremony carefully, and I thank my aunt for her carefulness. ”

In fact, if it weren't for Gu Yuxuan beside her, Su Jinyao would not have been let go so quickly.

But there is no harm if there is no comparison, compared to Gu Yuxuan's clumsiness, Su Jinyao is like a genius to deal with it easily.

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter with an embarrassed expression. And Gu Yuxuan sighed in her heart full of grief and helplessness.

Old Man Gu smiled at Gu Yuxuan, he also heard about this granddaughter studying with Mama all afternoon.

But the old man felt from the bottom of his heart that Su Jinyao was really like his youngest son when he was so smart. Therefore, I felt a little more comforted in my heart, and my eyes also showed a lot of pity and longing.

Of course, Prime Minister Gu could see the strong family affection and apology in his father's eyes.

For so many years, the eldest brother's son has been by his side, but the third brother's daughter is outcast, which is a pity for the Gu family and the old man.

Now that the family is finally reunited, the old man's idea in his heart is naturally to make amends, and he also wants to give the best to Su Jinyao, which is not wrong.

A silver hairpin of great significance

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Gu also spoke: "Dad, have you written the greetings to Jinyao?" I'll take it over tonight, and I won't be wrong at the ceremony tomorrow. ”

Think about it, how could a dignified prime minister mispronounce a greeting. It's just that he wants to show his attention to Su Jinyao.

After hearing this, Su Jinyao looked at Prime Minister Gu with a little more gratitude in her eyes. The people of the Gu family are really good to her.

Old Man Gu nodded and said, "It's written, it's in my room." Come and get it later. ”

After that, Mrs. Gu arranged things for Gu Xueqi and Gu Yuxuan respectively.

For a ceremony like tomorrow, Mingjuan is going to accompany Su Jinyao, but Gu Xueqi, as a sister after Guajin, will also accompany her. It's a bit like being a bridesmaid, but it's not the same thing.

Gu Yuxuan was arranged to be held by Mrs. Gu when she combed Su Jinyao's hair, and she held the comb and hairpin that she needed.

The most important part of the Gua Jin ceremony is the curling of hair and the insertion of hairpins, so there is no sloppiness at all.

Talking about this link, Mrs. Gu also specially ordered the personal maid beside her to fetch the things, saying that it was a hairpin prepared for Su Jinyao.

After a while, the maid was holding a tray with several small long boxes, all of which were supposed to contain hairpins.

And each box is very exquisite, and it can be seen that the hairpins inside must not be ordinary jewelry.

The tray was held in front of Su Jinyao, Mrs. Gu got up and walked over, personally opened the jewelry box on it one by one, and asked Su Jinyao: "Jinyao, these hairpins are all my mother's dowry, and they can be regarded as exquisite." If you see which one you like, I'll give it to you, and I'll wear it tomorrow when you insert the hairpin. ”

It stands to reason that the daughter Guajin should be prepared by her mother. Or specially ask craftsmen to build, or wear the hairpin of the mother's mother's family to marry, which is also for a inheritance, and the meaning is very beautiful.

Su Jinyao didn't have a mother, so it was naturally prepared by Mrs. Gu. But time was tight and it was too late to create a new hairpin, so Mrs. Gu chose her mother's dowry.

To be honest, Su Jinyao's heart was very moved. Because Mrs. Gu could find a reason to go to the street to buy a hairpin for Su Jinyao and come back.

Presumably, as long as the price is expensive, even the old man can't say anything bad.

But now in front of me is Mrs. Gu's dowry, and the meaning is very different.

Su Jinyao pursed her lips and stood up, her eyes swept over the jewelry box one by one, looking at hairpins in her eyes, but there was a strong family affection churning in her heart.

"Jinyao?" Mrs. Gu noticed that Su Jinyao was a little distracted, and couldn't help but call her softly.

When Su Jinyao raised her head again, it turned out to be a pair of black and white tears that were full of moisture. Choked for a moment before saying, "Thank you aunt for your careful preparation, I ...... I like it so much. ”

Mrs. Gu was also stunned for a moment, she saw the real emotion and sadness in this girl's eyes. Thinking that this is a little girl who has no mother and has just known that she is a biological father, I can't help but feel distressed.

"Silly girl." After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she walked over and grabbed Su Jinyao's shoulder, patted her lightly twice, and said, "Don't forget, from your mother's side, you still have to call me aunt."

。 So, choose well, this is what your aunt should do for you. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, sniffed, and her eyes fell on the delicate hairpins again.

Almost without careful selection, Su Jinyao was attracted by a silver "Hui" hairpin. Snow-white silver, engraved with gilt back lines, simple and atmospheric, but also with a bit of simplicity and elegance.

Compared with a white hosta next to it, the texture of sterling silver is of course not as expensive as white jade, but the silver-white color is a little more delicate than white jade; Compared with another gold-inlaid jade hairpin, it is a little less gorgeous but a little more simple.

Therefore, Su Jinyao stretched out her hand, gently touched the delicately engraved "Hui" pattern on the hairpin with her fingertips, and then picked up the hairpin and said, "Auntie, I'll choose this one." ”

"Okay." Mrs. Gu nodded, with a smile on her face, and said, "Jin Yao really has a vision. Although it was a silver hairpin, it was my great-grandmother's dowry. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is significant. Moreover, my great-grandmother has a high life expectancy of 6 out of 90, and she is full of children and grandchildren, and she is deeply blessed, so Jin Yao took it to the end, which is really the best. ”

Su Jinyao originally just liked the simplicity and simplicity of this silver hairpin, but she didn't expect that it would have such a profound meaning.

But if you think about it carefully, if you look at it in terms of value alone, silver is indeed inferior to white jade and gold.

But if it was really such a simple silver hairpin, how could Mrs. Gu put it in such a delicate box and take it out for herself.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao's face turned red, and she hurriedly said, "Auntie, I'm not picky...... I didn't expect this hairpin to be so meaningful, so you better leave it to Xue Qi or Yu Xuan. I'd better pick another one. ”

"No, no, this one is really good." Mrs. Gu reached out and picked up the silver hairpin along with the box, looked at it, and said, "Don't blame your aunt for being biased. In fact, as early as when Xue Qi entered, I had already taken out all these hairpins and let Xue Qi choose. Yu Xuan was also present at the time, and she also chose one for herself. But Xue Qi and Yu Xuan didn't choose this hairpin, and I still had some regrets at the time. I also once thought, if I had another daughter, would she choose this hairpin? After all, this is the inheritance of our Tong family, and we don't want to be left out like this. ”

After a pause, Mrs. Gu said again: "Don't blame your aunt for talking too much, I just want to say that the Tong family used to be a small family." When my great-grandmother was in the country, she built such a silver hairpin, which shows how ordinary the family was at that time. And until my great-grandmother got married, there was only such a silver hairpin as a decent dowry. But later, together with her great-grandfather, her great-grandmother earned the entire Tong family and gained a foothold in the capital. So the meaning of this hairpin is even more different. Now Jinyao, you are like my own daughter, and you have taken a fancy to this hairpin at a glance, and it is too late for me to rejoice. So you don't have to re-elect, it's just related to you. Good boy, take it. ”

Listening to Mrs. Gu's words, Su Jinyao's eyes showed deep solemnity, and the hairpin in her hand was also heavy.

The kind of inheritance that has been passed on makes her feel a sense of emotion in her heart, and she is also a little moved.

Although she is not from the Tong family, Mrs. Gu really doesn't seem to treat her as an outsider, which is a good feeling.

The inheritance of the Tong family

Gu Shangqing looked at Su Jinyao who looked like she was about to cry again, quickly got up and walked over, patted Su Jinyao's back, and said softly: "Jinyao, thank you second aunt." ”

Su Jinyao came back to her senses at this time, took a deep look at the hairpin in her hand, slowly bowed, and bowed deeply. After a while, he raised his head and said seriously: "Thank you, aunt, I will be your daughter in the future." ”

Su Jinyao has never been nepotistic, but this time she is sincerely in love with Mrs. Gu.

She didn't know if bowing was the deepest etiquette, but in addition to kowtowing and kneeling, the highest etiquette Su Jinyao could think of was a deep bow.

Mrs. Gu smiled and stretched out her hand, straightened Su Jinyao's hair, and said softly: "Good boy, I will personally insert hairpins for you Ming'er, and I will watch you get married." ”

"Okay, my mother has another daughter. But we have so few sons in our house. Gu Yuxuan shouted beside him, breaking the sensational picture.

Su Jinyao stalked, then turned her head with a smile and looked at Gu Shangqing.

Sure enough, everyone in the Gu family looked at Gu Shangqing, and the old man frowned even more. first coughed, and then said, "Shang Qing, you will also come to your grandfather's house in a while, and I have something important to tell you." ”

"Gu, Rain, Silk ......" Gu Shangqing's sister control has completely collapsed. He really didn't understand why Gu Yuxuan said this at this time.
