Everyone immediately stopped the topic and waited for Gu Xi to walk in with a smile.

Gu Xi wore a blue and green silk armor, his black hair was curled in a bun very casually, and a gilt and pearl-inlaid hairpin was inserted, his cheeks were white and red, his eyes were bright, and he was very energetic.

Pei Lao'an looked straight and nodded, and said with a smile: "It looks like he's in good health!" ”

Gu Xi smiled and saluted Pei Lao'an and Yi Lao'an, and said, "Thanks to the blessings of the two Lao'ans, I have nothing to do." ”

Yi Lao'an was also very pleased, and said "That's good" in a loud voice, and hurriedly asked Gu Xi to sit down and talk, and said: "If you are in good health, you can't be careless, you have to raise it for a few more days." ”

Gu Xi thanked Yi Lao'anren and sat down side by side with Yu Tang, and the second wife brought the second lady over.

The room was bustling with activity.

The fourth miss saw the second lady and the fifth lady talking in front of Pei Laoanren, and she quietly beckoned to Yu Tang.

Yu Tang looked around, and saw that Gu Xi, the second and third misses were also in front of Yi Lao'anren, listening to the second wife and the fifth lady talking, he quietly walked over and asked the fourth miss in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

The fourth lady whispered to her a little proudly: "The marriage between the second sister and Yang Gongzi is about to be decided-the Yang family will send someone to discuss the marriage with our family tomorrow!" ”

The swaggering little appearance made Yu Tang want to pinch her face.

"You're so well informed!" She followed the words of the fourth young lady.

The fourth lady was even more proud, raised her chin, and said, "Yesterday, the second sister and the third sister whispered, and I heard it. ”

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.

The fourth lady said again: "Actually, it's not the second sister who takes a fancy to Yang Gongzi, it's the third uncle who takes a fancy to Yang Gongzi." ”

Pei Yan still cares about these things?

How did he know if that Yang Gongzi and the second young lady were suitable?

Yu Tang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The fourth lady thought she didn't believe it, and hurriedly said, "It's true!" I didn't lie to you. Yang Gongzi knew that the third uncle was also in Ku'an Temple, so he went to see the third uncle first. The third uncle spoke to him for two quarters of an hour. Later, the third uncle's grandmother sent someone to ask the third uncle how Yang Gongzi was, and the third uncle said that his knowledge was not bad, and the second sister agreed. ”

This, that's a bit too rash, right?

I think at the beginning, Li Duan was also very good at reading, and he was not a scumbag!

The villain in Yu Tang's heart wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but look at the second lady.

The second lady didn't know when she talked to Pei Laoanren, Yu Tang only heard her say: "Don't worry, I will definitely help the third sister make incense in this matter." After speaking, he also pulled Gu Xi, "If you can't believe me, isn't there still Sister Gu?" When the time comes, with Sister Gu helping us, what else are you worried about? ”

Pei Laoan smiled and said, "It's about to be the New Year, can your sister Gu always live in our house?" You only know that your father and your mother hold you in the palm of their hands and think about you all the time, don't your sister Gu's parents miss her? ”

The room was silent.

Pei Lao'an never mentioned that Gu Xi would go home for the New Year.

This is the first time.

Gu Xi's face was hot, and she felt that Pei Lao'an was embarrassed as if she was chasing her, but she couldn't say a word.

She stood there at a loss, and stumbled: "I, I'm also going to go back in the next two days, the second young lady, I'm afraid I can't help much......"

The second lady also felt very embarrassed, so she hurriedly grabbed Gu Xi's arm and said apologetically: "Ouch, I forgot about the New Year." Sister Gu is in our house, just like our sisters. It would be nice if I could come to my house more often in the future. ”

Gu Xi couldn't help but look at Pei Lao'an.

Pei Lao'an smiled more kindly, and said: "It is also fate that you sisters can play together, if Miss Gu is free, just come to visit often, their sisters are all people who like to be lively, and Miss Gu is definitely welcome." ”

"That's it, that's it." The second lady said repeatedly.

Gu Xi managed to control the expression on his face with great difficulty, and did not show shock or disappointment.

In the past, she wanted to have a tooth with Yu Tang, but Pei Lao'an made them "Miss Gu" and "Miss Yu" with a word. Now, Pei Lao'an took the initiative to make her and the ladies of Pei's Mansion call each other sisters. If it is an ordinary person, eight or nine times out of ten will think that he has impressed Pei Laoan, and Pei Laoan is showing favor to her. But she is not an ordinary person, she grew up in a complex environment like the Gu family since she was a child, and some things can be seen without being mentioned by others - obviously, she seems to be closer to the Pei family. Secretly, Pei Lao'an separated her from Pei Yan.

Was she kicked out of the game by Pei Lao'an after Pei Yan?

But why?

What exactly did she do wrong?

Let both their mother and son look down on her?

Gu Xi couldn't figure it out, but his face suddenly turned as white as a plain face.

The second lady couldn't help but say worriedly: "Sister Gu, you, what's wrong with you?" Is there something wrong with it? ”

Gu Xi shook his head, forced himself to smile, and said softly, "I'm fine!" ”

The second lady looked at her face and hesitated: "But your face is ......."

Gu Xi knew that she hadn't been able to be completely silent, and she hurriedly said, "Is my face very bad?" Maybe I was too tired yesterday. ”

Although the second miss was suspicious, she was good friends with Gu Xi, so naturally she would not be unable to get off the stage on such an occasion, so she changed the topic with a smile and teased the third miss: "Yesterday, the third sister quarreled so much that I hardly slept all night. She still wrote on the bookcase in the middle of the night for a long time, and she didn't know what she wrote. When I asked her, she only said that she wanted to write down the process of making incense first, and then go home to check the book. But I don't think I'm sure. Sister Gu, when are you going back? I want to take advantage of the fact that you are still in our house these days, please help me and my third sister make some Buddha incense first, what do you think? ”

Gu Xi didn't want to be cheap at all.

In her opinion, even if the Pei family does not publicize Yu Tang's merits in this matter, in the minds of the daughters of the Pei family, the matter of Ruo'an Temple is Yu Tang's credit. Anything she does related to Ku'an Temple is to put gold on Yu Tang's face.

"I'm going back in two days," she politely refused, "I'm afraid it's too late." What's more, I have also seen the incense recipe that Miss Yu took out, and there are a lot of spices needed, and it will be difficult to collect these spices for a while......"

The second and third misses both looked disappointed.

Yu Tang felt that it was okay with or without Gu Xi.

Making a Buddha incense or something is a fun thing for the youngest daughter's family, and it is not a simple matter to really sell it. Just controlling costs is not something that these boudoir women can do. If, as Pei Lao'an said, the nuns and laymen of Ku'an Temple are mainly responsible for making incense, then the sale of Buddha incense must be managed by an experienced treasurer.

She stood by and said nothing.

Pei Laoan and Yi Laoan glanced at each other, and then Pei Laoan smiled and said to the second and third misses: "This matter is not in a hurry." I have sent someone to tell your third uncle, and your third uncle said that this is a good thing, and he will find a way to help you. You also know that your third uncle has always been a man of his word. Since he agreed, he will definitely make arrangements for this matter. You just need to make incense according to Miss Yu's incense recipe, it is good to make it, but if you can't make it, it will just be a shame in front of your third uncle, and you don't have to take it to heart. ”

Losing face is already the most unbearable thing!

Yu Tang was stunned.

The fifth lady simply said in a loud voice: "Grandmother, you just said that you would hand over the matter of making incense to us, why did you change the hexagram in a blink of an eye?" As she spoke, she stepped forward and took the hands of the second and third misses, and swore solemnly, "We will definitely be able to make a good-smelling and unique Buddha incense." ”

Pei Lao'an, Yi Lao'an, and the second wife all laughed, and Yi Lao'an said even more dotingly: "Good, good, good." You are all good children with ambitions. If you can really make a unique and good-smelling Buddha incense, I will reward each of you with a bag of silver bills that will go well. ”

"Okay!" The fourth lady said happily, as if the bag of silver had fallen into her pocket without any suspense.

Everyone was amused by her and laughed again.

Gu Xi, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Two old people, I will not participate in the making of incense." I think I'll pack my bags and go back to Hangzhou in the next two days. If I go back late, the letter back to my brother will not be able to be sent to the capital before the year. ”

Entering December, the major post stations began to be crowded, and everyone was busy with the New Year.

Pei Laoan smiled: "What you said also makes sense. Then asked Mrs. Chen to take the yellow calendar and said, "It's not appropriate to go out tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is a good day." It just so happened that we were about to go home. Then Aunt Chen told the steward and asked them to help arrange a boat to send Miss Gu back to Hangzhou City. What about us...... Pei Lao'an flipped through the yellow calendar again, and said, "We will go home in six days." ”

Gu Xi's heart was like ashes.

The fifth lady shouted, "Are we going back home so soon?" What about our Buddha incense? Sister Gu is going home, and Sister Yu is also going home......"

Pei Lao'an said with a smile: "Miss Yu lives in Lin'an City, if you want to ask Miss Yu about making incense, you can send someone to pick up Miss Yu to your home, what's the fuss." ”

The fifth lady blushed and said, "Didn't I think that Sister Yu was also going to celebrate the New Year?" ”

The fourth lady said smartly: "The third uncle didn't say that he wanted Buddha incense tomorrow, so we can take our time." I heard my mother's roommate say that after the New Year, it is the best time for business, and we can wait until the New Year is over. ”

The third lady retorted: "Auntie is married to a silk shop, and when the spring begins, everyone has to make single clothes, of course it is the best time for business." Buddha incense was the best business before the fifteenth year, and everyone had to go to the temple to worship the Buddha. ”

A few small ones fought.

Pei Laoan couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "You are ruthless, this Buddha incense has not been made yet, and you have begun to think about making money." If you are asked to take care of the shop, those big shopkeepers will be forced to jump into the river by you! ”

A few juniors laughed embarrassedly.

Yu Tang was thinking in her heart that she would go down the mountain in six days, so she should be able to go home if she lived in the Pei family's courtyard for one or two days at most, right?

She misses her mother, her father, her brother, and her aunt...... I even miss Mrs. Chen, who cooks in the kitchen with an apron every day.
