Chapter 31: Rough Skin
After Yang finished speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Yunjin to respond, turned his head and ordered Huazhu a few words: "Go to the kitchen and say, Yunjin has dinner in Qingyutang today, add half a plate of regular dishes, and then cut another plate of mutton and a plate of crystal elbows." ”
The painting bamboo went in response.
Seeing this, Gu Yunjin didn't shirk it, after all, the Yang family had arranged it, so she couldn't go back to Lanyuan to go hungry.
In his previous life, he ate badly in Lingbei, and after Gu Yunjin woke up, the most unbearable thing was that he couldn't satisfy his stomach.
As for the two plates of meat dishes, the mutton was the Yang family's to please Xu Yan, and the crystal elbow was Gu Yunjin's favorite.
When she arrived at Qingyu Hall, Yang didn't rush to set the table, she still had to wait for Xu Yan to come back.
Gu Yunjin tilted his head to look at Xu Lingjie rubbing his knees.
Xu Lingjie didn't kneel for a long time, but she was used to being delicate, and she didn't have the strength to smash it down at first, but when she got up, she knew that it was terrible, and she grinned in pain.
Among the three sisters, Xu Lingjie is the fattest, she has always tabooed this, she went to her winter clothes early as the weather was warmer, she was afraid that she would look bloated, and she was also wearing thin clothes today, and her knees really fell on the bluestone slab bricks.
As soon as Xu Lingjie sat down, she urged the maid Ai Lu to press and rub her legs.
No matter how light Ai Lu's hand was, it also made Xu Lingjie scream, and after a few strokes, Xu Lingjie couldn't stand it, waved Ai Lu away, and tossed it herself.
In Yang's house, Xu Lingjie didn't pay much attention to it, and her trouser legs were lifted up, revealing her pale blue-purple knees.
Yang was absent-minded and didn't see Xu Lingjie's "injury", Xu Lingjie couldn't help but be sad, pursed her lips, gasped and touched her fingertips lightly.
Gu Yunjin didn't feel anything, and his hair stood on end by the cold air of her voice, and he couldn't help but say, "It hurts so much?" ”
"It's all like this, can it not hurt?" Xu Lingjie frowned and said, "You really stand up straight and don't have a backache when you speak!" ”
Gu Yunjin held his cheeks and said, "Yes, I have never knelt down, how do I know the pain." ”
Such a "frank" sentence made Xu Lingjie angry and not annoyed, "you" for a while before turning her head away with hatred.
Gu Yunjin "followed" Yang's meaning and continued to light the fire: "Hey, didn't you just kneel in Huamei a few days ago?" I also asked her to kneel for a while, she was alive and well the next day, and the second sister might as well ask her how to get better if her knee hurts. ”
Xu Lingjie listened.
Huamei was not on duty at this time, she was eating in the house, and was called by Xu Lingjie with a word.
When Xu Lingjie opened her mouth to ask, Huamei's face was blue and red for a while, and she was glared at by Mama Shao a few times before she said in a trembling voice: "What is the way, the girl has raised the slave." The girl's thin skin and tender flesh must hurt badly, where is it so rough and thick with the slave maid. ”
After a few pauses, she couldn't even breathe well.
Xu Lingjie didn't hear it, but she thought deeply of Huamei's statement, and she couldn't stop shaking Huamei's shoulders.
Gu Yunjin saw it clearly, she knew that the girl who painted Mei was "high-spirited" and had a strong temperament, otherwise, she would not have had a clear mind with Yang Xiyu in the past.
It's just that Gu Yunjin can't figure it out, even if Huamei hides it to death, but she is right under the nose of the Yang family, why didn't the Yang family and Mama Shao find out about the two of them at all?
At this time, it seems that the Yang family has not thought about the people around them at all, after all, Huamei is ashamed to be like this, the Yang family is distracted, and Xu Lingjie is "stabbing the knife".
Fortunately, Xu Yan came back, and Huamei looked for this opportunity and turned around and withdrew.
Yang pays attention to food, does not sleep and does not speak, and there is not a word at the dinner table.
After the table was removed, the Yang family asked Gu Yunjin to go to Xu Lingjie's house to sit and discuss Xu Lingyi's affairs with Xu Yan by himself.
Gu Yunjin dealt with Xu Lingjie for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.
Coming out of the east courtyard, she glanced at the main house, and the lights were lit in the east room, reflecting the figures of the Yang family and Xu Yan, but there was no one else, thinking that the Yang family had sent everyone away.
Avoiding people to speak, the voices of the two people were also low, and nothing could be heard outside.
It's just that Xu Yan seems to be angry, and he flicked his sleeves twice in a few words, looking angry.
Gu Yunjin was not surprised that Xu Yan was angry, and he asked someone to mix the book, and he was reprimanded by Liu Shangshu in front of his colleagues in the entire Ministry of Industry during the day, and asked his subordinates why he didn't marry the Xu family the next day, Xu Yan couldn't afford to lose this face.
Especially the Wang family has already come to ask, Xu Chi and the Wei family are all hidden, the Yang family must have added oil and vinegar, and it will definitely not sound good if it falls on Xu Yan's ears.
Gu Yunjin stared, and just called Huazhu to look at it.
"What is my cousin thinking?" Huazhu stepped forward and said with a smile.
After being arrested, Gu Yunjin didn't panic, and said: "I was about to leave, and I wanted to talk to my uncle and aunt, but looking at the situation, they are still talking about things, so I won't go in and disturb it, and the girl who painted bamboo will talk to my uncle and aunt for me later." ”
The head of the painting bamboo jaw responded, and sent Gu Yunjin out of Qingyu Hall.
Gu Yunjin and Fu Dong had just walked for a short time, and they saw someone coming with a lantern from a distance, her eyes were good, and when she looked at the lantern light, it was Yang Xiyu.
At this hour, what is Yang Xiyu doing in the backyard?
Gu Yunjin wanted to avoid it, but there was only one way here, Yang Xiyu went straight to Qingyu Hall, there was nowhere to avoid it, and the two sides looked at each other.
"Cousin." Yang Xiyu called her with a smile.
Gu Yunjin called out coldly, "Cousin", and was just about to turn sideways, when she saw Yang Xiyu spread her hands and presented the things in her palm to her.
It's still a peace charm.
"Lingyin Guan Heshui was drawn by real people?" Gu Yunjin said.
Yang Xiyu didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Gu Yunjin's words at all, and his smile became more and more gentle: "Yes, this is really asking for you."
The last time I saw you fall into the water, I was anxious, and gave you the full moon gift for my nephew, no wonder you were unhappy.
That day, I asked for one again, but the Lingyin view was a little far away, and it was delayed for a few days, but I finally asked for it, and I asked my cousin to accept it. ”
Gu Yunjin's gaze fell on the peace charm, and his lips were raised, not a smile, but a mockery.
The peace charm of Lingyin is common, but the hand-drawn by Heshui real people is rare.
Scarcity is precious, Heshui Zhenren is quite famous in Beijing, how many people kneel and knock to ask him for a word, a talisman, he is rare to draw a few peace talismans for Lingyin in January.
Last time, it can be said that Yang Xiyu was lucky, but in a few days, two "hands" in succession, Gu Yunjin didn't need to turn his eyes, he knew that Yang Xiyu opened his mouth to trick her.
Besides, the so-called "ask for another one if you answer" is also the Yang family and Yang Xiyu talking to themselves, and Gu Yunjin has never asked for it.
She didn't want to take it at all.
In his previous life, he was pitted by Yang Xiyu for ten years, and now he takes the peace charm he handled, where is this peace, I am afraid that it will be unlucky.
"The second sister was reprimanded by the old lady today, kneeling so that her knees were swollen, she has been very unhappy these days, this peace charm, cousin should send it to the second sister." After Gu Yunjin finished speaking, he ignored him and left quickly.
