The next day, the weather was clear and sunny.

The north wind was blowing, blowing the two old plum trees in the courtyard of Shengning Hall swaying back and forth.

The housekeeper Gu Sheng is taking two small servants to take a stick and support it around the trunk, and firmly fix it with a rope, these two old plums are the beloved things of Mrs. Gu, it is said that when she married into the Xie Mansion, the old man Xie planted them for her with his own hands.

"Wrap the trunk with a rope and then a stick, so as not to damage the bark." Gu Sheng instructed, "The old lady loves these two plum trees the most, you must be careful!" ”

The two little guys are.

Gu Sheng wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he saw Xie Jinyi walking in with Ziyu, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "The fifth girl is well!" ”

He was tall and burly, wearing a dark coat that hung down to his ankles, and his whole person looked more and more powerful.

Gu Sheng was a florist who came from the Su family back then, and he used to take care of flowers and plants in the garden, because he won the favor of Mrs. Gu, he was promoted to the housekeeper exceptionally, he was exquisite, and even the Wei family was full of praise for him.

After a long time, the people in the mansion gradually forgot that he was brought by the Su family, and only regarded him as Mrs. Gu's person.

It's just that the only thing that is puzzling is that Gu Sheng has reached the age of not being confused, but he has never married, and he is still alone, and even the maid in the house intends to get close to him, but he is not moved.

Over the years, Mrs. Gu has been worried about Zhang Luo's family for him.

But he didn't want to, Gu Sheng never let go.

"Steward Gu." Xie Jinyi straightened up and bowed slightly.

Ziyu stepped forward and blessed her body.

"Fifth girl, the eldest lady and the second lady are here!" Gu Sheng stepped forward and said in a low voice, "The villain has the courage to speak, the eldest son of Xu is not a good match, the fifth girl is not confused by outsiders, the old lady is the girl's grandmother after all, the relatives are far away, and I hope the girl will think twice." ”

Xie Jinyi glanced at him lightly, didn't say anything, turned around and entered the house.

In her previous life, she had no impression of Gu Sheng, she only knew that he was the old man of the Su family, and later took refuge in Mrs. Gu and sought her own future.

Now that he has taken the initiative to show goodwill, is he thinking of the old master?

There is an unwritten custom in the capital.

Every Shangyuan Festival, but all the people in Chongzheng Street will send posts to their relatives, inviting relatives to go to their own homes to sit and rest, Chongzheng Street is the most lively place in the capital, a grand festival, overcrowded, lively.

The girls babbled about their opinions.

Cheng Linyu and Xie Jinru wanted to go to the Yong'an Hou Mansion to see the lights.

The only difference is that Cheng Linyu wants to go openly, while Xie Jinru wants to go in his heart.

Xie Jinyue had a lot of trouble with the Xu sisters in the flower room last time, so naturally she wanted to go to Jianpingbo Mansion, not to mention that she had made an appointment with Wei Jiao to enjoy the lanterns together on the Shangyuan Festival, for this reason, Aunt Wu also specially made a few handkerchiefs for Wei Jiao!

Seeing that the girls had expressed their opinions, Old Madam Gu overrode the public opinion, turned her head and said to Wei and Xu: "...... Since both of you have posts coming over, it's not appropriate for us to respond to either side, so let's just go to Jianpingbo Mansion, anyway, just go over and rest, and there won't be too much disturbance. ”

Wei and Xu Dao are.

Mother Xue led Xie Jinyi into the house with the curtain lifted.

After saluting each other, Xie Jinyi sat on her seat generously, picked up the teacup and drank tea, it was her favorite Mingqian Longjing, it seemed that Mingyue did have a heart, and remembered her preferences.

Everyone's eyes fell on Xie Jinyi.

invariably sneered, why is she still so fat...... Didn't you shout about dieting all day before?

"Fifth girl, you came just in time, grandmother just happened to have something to tell you!" Old Madam Gu was the first to speak, and said lukewarmly, "Yong'an Hou Xu Mansion, Jianping Bochen Mansion, and your eldest uncle's maiden Wei family, all sent posts, saying that they invited you to Chongzheng Street to see the lanterns, grandmother thinks it is better to go to Jianping Bofu and your eldest sister's house, and you, still stay at home with your grandmother, don't go anywhere." ”

"Mother, the fifth girl has been bored at home for so long, let's let her go out to get some air!" Xu Shi hurriedly said, "With so many people together, it will be fine." ”

"Yes, grandmother, you just let the fifth sister go!" Cheng Linyu also spoke, "There are so many people, besides, our sisters haven't been together for a long time!" ”

That idiot doesn't get out.

Wouldn't her plan have failed?

"Last time on my mother's birthday, there were a lot of people!" Wei Shi picked up the tea lid and gently flicked the tea foam, and said coldly, "If the fifth girl is willing to go out to see the lanterns, I will find a few maids and wives to accompany me, and I don't have to go to Jianping Bofu, right?" ”

Jianping Bofu is the eldest girl's in-law's house.

If she goes, if she causes any more trouble, won't it make her in-laws laugh.

Xie Jinyi picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter if I go out to see the lanterns or not, but on my grandmother's birthday, when the eldest lady of the He family came, she said that the eldest lady of the He family asked me to go to Taihelou to drink tea after putting the lanterns, and I didn't know that I would be grounded at that time, so I agreed, if my grandmother didn't agree with me going out, then I asked Ziyu to talk to her, so that she didn't wait for me." ”

Although Mrs. Gu kept saying that she would not talk about marriage until Xie Mingyuan had passed the spring.

But in fact, she had already fallen in love with He Qingwan, the eldest lady of the He family.

If Xie Mingyuan is named on the gold list, the Xie family will have more confidence to go to the He family to propose marriage in the future.

Not for anything else, just because Mrs. He's maiden family is a salt merchant, He Qingwan's dowry in the future will not be less, to put it mildly, it's all for silver, as for He Qingwan, who is knowledgeable and gentle, it doesn't seem to be so important, Mrs. Gu has always been very pragmatic.

No matter how arrogant and arrogant Xie Jinyi is, there are still one or two handkerchiefs to hand over, and He Qingwan is the one who has a good relationship with her.

It's just that in her previous life, He Qingwan did not become her sister-in-law, but became the side concubine of King Qin, although she didn't know the twists and turns, she was sure of one thing, He Qingwan was not willing.

And Xie Mingyuan's family affairs were not smooth, first he married Wei Ran, the niece of the Wei side branch, Wei Ran died of illness less than a year after passing the door, and did not leave a son and a half daughter, and then Xie Mingyuan was released from Beijing, and Xie Jinyi did not know who he married.

Now, although He Qingwan did not ask Xie Jinyi to see the lanterns.

And the Xie family will never ask the He family because of this matter.

Old Madam Gu and Wei glanced at each other, and Old Madam Gu was really relieved: "Then since you have an agreement in advance, it's better not to miss the appointment." ”

Xie Mingyuan is young and old, and he is steady.

She can be trusted.

"Thank you, grandmother." Xie Jinyi.

She knew it.

As long as it is about Xie Mingyuan, the old lady will be accommodating.
