In addition to Gu Xi, there is also Gu Xi's maid Hexiang who is anxious in his heart.

Since she can come along, she is Gu Xi's henchman. Gu Xi managed to live in the Pei family, and she knew better than anyone else that she had enough strength but got nothing.

Seeing Gu Xi pacing back and forth, she was also worried, and couldn't help but whisper: "Miss, I inquired about the events of that day. ”

Gu Xi perked up.

Overheard the conversation between Lao An and Yu Tang, the intimacy revealed in her tone made her very uneasy, and what she said in a few words made her extremely alert, she sent Hexiang to inquire, but Hexiang never heard back to her.

"So what's going on? Tell me about it! Gu Xi stopped in front of Hexiang.

He Xiang hesitated for a moment, feeling that Gu Xi would be angry if he knew about this matter, but if he didn't tell Gu Xi and let Gu Xi make a mistake in judgment, it would lead to more serious consequences. She lowered her voice and said, "It's the third master, seeing that Miss Yu's cloak is a little thin, she sent someone down the mountain to get a white sable coat and gave it to Miss Yu." ”

Before she finished her words, Gu Xi's face had changed greatly. She exclaimed, "What did you say? ”

He Xiang pursed her lips uneasily, and continued to whisper: "The third master was directly sent to Miss Yu. Somehow, Lao An people knew, and Lao An people said that the third master didn't understand general affairs in the past, and he regarded Miss Yu as his own family, so he would not be rude. ”

Gu Xi felt that these words sounded as if a knife was stabbing him.

What is self-family?

What is an informal number?

The two lists of Jinshi are so difficult to take the test, Pei Yan has been admitted, if you have the heart, will you not understand these etiquette?

Pei Yan clearly just looked at Miss Yu differently.

And Lao An people, what does it mean? Covering your ears and stealing bells to whitewash the peace? The more you look at Miss Yu, the more satisfied you become, and you treat her as your son's housemate, right?

Layers of unwillingness emerged in Gu Xi's heart.

Miss Yu pretended to be deaf and dumb, why did she press her without saying a word?

Gu Xi was originally thinking about whether to have a good relationship with the eldest wife, but at this moment, there seemed to be a fire burning in her heart, which not only ignited her reason, but also made her breathless.

Yu Tang wants to marry Pei Yan, it depends on whether she agrees or not!

When Gu Xi thought of this, not only did he have more courage, but he also had the courage to do it without hesitation.

She smiled, "Let's go to the conservatory and see the orchids, shall we?" I have long heard the elders in the family talk about it, saying that the eldest wife is a master of raising orchids, and she has liked to raise orchids since she was a child. Don't talk about the orchids raised in the capital, even Guangzhou has many people who like it, and some people have spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to find it, wanting to buy the orchids raised by the eldest wife. Since we have come, we should also take a look, lest others ask and we will not know anything. ”

Usually this is the case, but isn't it a special situation now?

Hexiang persuaded: "Why do you bother? The eldest prince said, you come over, that is, let Lao An people recognize their faces, and he has his own ideas about other things. You, just stay home and wait for news. ”

After all, it's too proactive, not to mention frivolous, and it's too off the shelf.

Gu Xi has an idea, and he will not change his mind because of a few words from his confidant.

She was a little distracted, but she had to find some excuse to go to the warm house often, so that she could meet the eldest lady.

This opportunity came quickly.

After sending Zhang Shao away, Lao Anren rested in his yard for a few days, and Yu Tang, Gu Xi and several young ladies of the Pei family didn't have to go to Lao Anren to say hello, and arranged their own affairs. The second miss and Gu Xi often talk about themselves together, the third miss and the fourth miss often practice calligraphy together, and the fifth miss comes to Yutang every day to play and learn to make silk flowers with Yutang. And Miss Five seems to be very talented in this regard, not to mention the appearance at the beginning, but also boldly matching colors, not like Yu Tang tried to do artificial flowers, but to do all kinds of contrasting silk flowers, and once made a peony flower with half pink and half pink.

Yu Tang opened his mouth, but he had to admit that such silk flowers looked different and beautiful.

The fifth lady gave it to Lao Anren beautifully.

Lao Anren praised Miss Wu and gave Miss Wu some snacks, but did not leave her to speak in his yard.

Yu Tang felt that something was wrong.

But because he lives in the inner courtyard, he has no way of knowing what happened.

People are most afraid of the unknown, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked about Pei Yan's whereabouts.

Miss Five didn't know, and she didn't know why she asked this. It was Aunt Ji who whispered to her: "The third master is hiding in the mountains, no one wants to see him, and Lao An even exempted him from morning and dusk." I heard from my in-laws that it was rumored that the third master was recuperating in another hospital. ”

Aunt Ji's in-laws are the shopkeeper of Tong.

Yu Tang let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as Pei Yan is stable here, this day will definitely be able to go on peacefully.

At this time, Mrs. Shen coughed for some reason, and asked a doctor, saying that she often lived in the house where the earth dragon was burned, and it was too dry.

Gu Xi was secretly happy, and offered to buy a few golden oranges back, and said: "Golden oranges have the effect of suppressing coughs, and now the weather is getting colder and colder, so that everyone can go out often to reduce coughing, but between the cold and the heat, it is easy to get cold." It is better to boil the orange and drink it often, which can calm the cough and nourish the lungs. ”

Lao An people are used to staying in the house that burned the earth dragon in winter, only the fifth miss has followed the second wife in office since childhood, and the winter is accompanied by the brazier, and this spring has a cough because of this, but at that time the earth dragon was quickly extinguished, and the cough of the fifth lady was quickly improved. Although everyone knew about the situation this time and took this matter to heart, they were afraid that she would be cold, so they carefully observed it first, but fortunately, Miss Fifth had not coughed so far.

Lao Anren felt sorry for Miss Five, so he immediately nodded and agreed, and asked Aunt Chen to send someone down the mountain to the back garden of Pei's Mansion to bring a lot of money oranges over and raise them next to the greenhouse.

Gu Xi often goes there to pick oranges.

Aunt Chen met Gu Xi, who was flushed, and said in a loud voice: "If you need anything, just tell the maid to pick it, how can you be tired and come here in person." ”

Gu Xi smiled and wiped his hands and said, "Mrs. Shen is my elder after all, and I should honor her." Besides, I'm not used to the earth dragon in the house, it's too hot. ”

Aunt Chen admired Gu Xi very much, she could get along well with Mrs. Shen, and couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "You have a heart." Do I let them take you? The earth dragon in the house burns less charcoal. ”

"Don't, don't, don't." Gu Xi stopped in a loud voice, "It's too cold in the house, Mrs. Shen will feel unbearable cold." ”

Aunt Chen didn't want to say anything, and in the evening, she brought her some loquat ointment.

Gu Xi smiled and gave it to Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen was crooked in the room alone, looking at Chengchen above her head and not knowing what she was thinking.

Gu Xi didn't bother her either, and retreated after delivering the things.

The next day, when she went to pick oranges again, she met the eldest lady as she wished.

The eldest lady looked a little weaker than the last time she saw her, and smiled politely and greeted her.

Gu Xi entertained her a few words, and praised the orchids she raised before they dispersed.

Lao Anren's side immediately got the news, and his face sank suddenly.

It's different from Mrs. Shen. The eldest lady wants to save face, and she may not say anything when she meets Mrs. Shen, but Gu Xi has a brother who is a disciple of Sun Gao, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, and the eldest lady will only have a lot of thoughts.

She asked, "Who put those oranges on the greenhouse?" ”

Aunt Chen said uneasily: "It's me!" I looked at the clearing over there, and I asked someone to put it there. Or I'll move them somewhere else......"

"No need!" Lao An said coyly, "There are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves." It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, so I'll go with her. ”

Aunt Chen didn't dare to say anything more, but privately reminded Gu Xi again.

Gu Xi achieved his goal, pursed his lips and smiled, went to see Lao Anren, and asked Lao Anren to accompany him.

Lao An smiled and said, "What does this have to do with you?" It's just that the eldest lady didn't like to be lively in the past, so the family didn't go to that place very often, and since you can talk, it's good that you can accompany her to talk. ”

Gu Xi agreed, but he never set foot in the greenhouse since.

Lao Anren nodded secretly and said to the second wife: "It's also a sensible person." ”

The second wife smiled at Lao Anren's words: "Their family is also very complicated, and they must have experienced a lot of these things since childhood. ”

Lao Anren sighed and said no more.

Somehow, these words reached Gu Xi's ears, and there was a little smile between her eyebrows.

Hexiang was puzzled and said, "Is this all right?" ”

"That's it." Gu Xi said, "What the Pei family lacks now is a clan wife, a daughter-in-law who is obedient and has the ability to take care of the house." It is enough to leave this impression on Lao An. Later, it's my brother's business. ”

After several days of heavy snowfall, the sky cleared, and the mood brightened.

Several young ladies of the Pei family couldn't sit still, and ran to Meilin together to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms.

This time, he did not compose a poem, but replaced the wine with tea, and sat in the warm pavilion to order.

Yu Tang remembered the misunderstanding last time, and this time he came out wearing the cloak sent by Pei Yan.

Although Lao An didn't say anything, he felt that Yu Tang was dressed very beautifully, and he was very happy to see Yu Tang's eyes.

Gu Xi sneered in his heart.

A new guest was welcomed in the annex.

Mrs. Yi's wife, grandmother of Miss 2 and Miss 3.

The second lady hid in the house and didn't want to see anyone.

Miss Fourth and Miss Fifth muttered beside Yu Tang: "Is it that the people who look at each other are about to go up the mountain?" ”

"Why don't you look at each other in the temple? That's how it is played in the play? ”

"On such a cold day, go to the temple, what if you get cold?"

"Then wait until spring to see each other! The second sister is so beautiful, who she wants to marry! ”

"You're talking nonsense again." The fourth lady said, "Even if the second sister wants to marry, then others have to see her." I heard my grandmother say that the son of that family will go to Beijing next year to participate in the big competition, and he will leave for Beijing before the Chinese New Year, so he has to make a marriage contract now. ”

The fifth lady pursed her lips and disagreed: "If their family really wants to marry the second sister, why would they have done earlier?" ”

"Why do you always raise a bar with me?" The fourth lady said unhappily, "People used to follow their father and brother in office, and they just came back to their hometown. If it weren't for the blind date with the second sister, I would go directly to the capital. ”

Home? That's the son of someone nearby?

I don't know who is on a blind date with the second lady?

Yu Tang was very curious.
