Chapter 234: Speaking
Just as Gu Yutang was about to open his mouth to reply, Feng Laoanren, who was sitting on the soft couch, glanced at Gu Yutang's side, and saw that Gu Yutang's face was not very good, and his little face was a little red, thinking that it was Huang's unrestrained words that annoyed her, and she was holding down in her heart and didn't dare to attack.
shouted that the swift beside him brought the plate of grapes on the top of the high table, and the high table next to Gu Yutang was on the high table.
Feng Lao'an came to play the round at this time, patted Huang's hand and said with a smile.
"Huang! That girl is the granddaughter of Mrs. Lin's in-laws, the third girl of our Gu family, and now she has a marriage, and the man is the little son of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion.
Your nephew has just won the show, and it's still too early to say goodbye, and when you get the lift, it's time to say goodbye, and I'll find a few good girls to give your nephew a look. ”
Huang looked at Feng Lao'an beside her and said very happily, but her heart seemed to be beating a drum, and her face also had a little nervous look.
She originally thought that the girl next to Mrs. Lin was just a maid who served Mrs. Lin.
Her nephew just won the show a few days ago, and she was worried that there was no suitable girl, she saw that the girl was born very well, and her manners were well-read, and she was also a good match for her nephew.
But who would have thought that girl would be the granddaughter of Mrs. Lin's in-laws, the third girl of the Gu family, with a family like them serving people, where can they climb up to the daughter of the family?
Besides, what I just said was indeed a bit out of place.
The people sitting in the room are all the heads and faces of the Gu family, she is just a daughter-in-law in charge, and people just respect and shout a few words to the old lady. If you open your mouth to say goodbye to your nephew, if you look into it carefully, you still think that you are now doing the business of three aunts and six mothers-in-law.
Huang smiled and sneered, first raised his head and glanced at Feng Laoanren, then turned his eyes and glanced at Gu Yutang, seeing that Gu Yutang was also looking carefully, he hurriedly took his gaze back.
took the hand of his daughter-in-law Li next to him, as if he wanted Li to find a step for her to go down.
The Li family also knew that the words of the mother-in-law Huang Fang Cai were indeed inappropriate, the girl next to Mrs. Lin was the third girl of the Gu family, and the marriage was decided by the Gu family's wife, master, and old lady.
The mother-in-law is just a family member who came to be a guest, and she opened her mouth to tell the daughter of the family about the marriage, or her nephew.
If they had changed to someone with some tempers, I was afraid that Feng Lao'an would have called someone to drive them out, where would they continue to sit here?
Li took off a jade bracelet wrapped in gold wire wrapped in lotus flowers on his wrist, walked to Gu Yutang's side in person, and stuffed the jade bracelet into Gu Yutang's hand.
"When I came over, I didn't hear the old lady say that the third girl is also here, if the third girl is also here, the concubine must have a thick gift.
Although this jade bracelet wrapped in gold silk wrapped in lotus flowers is not worth a few dollars, but when I got married, my mother gave me a dowry, and my mother-in-law made a mistake in her words, so this jade bracelet came to make amends at that time! Li said, stuffed the jade bracelet tightly into Gu Yutang's hand, and then turned his head to look at Huang behind him.
Since this jade bracelet is the Li family's wedding gift, Gu Yutang will never accept it.
And the person who made the mistake was not Li, but the Huang family, and the Huang family pushed his daughter-in-law out to apologize, what is going on? What about the bearing of the elders?
Gu Yutang grabbed Li's hand and stuffed the jade bracelet back into Li's hand.
"Sister-in-law of the Li family, this jade bracelet is a gift from Mrs. Li as a dowry gift, and I must not ask for it.
Although Yutang has not read many books, he also knows the truth that he can't snatch love with a knife, this jade bracelet is given by his mother, it must be a valuable thing, and the sister-in-law of the Li family should still accept it! ”
Gu Yutang's words made Li a little unexpected. She thought that her mother-in-law had annoyed her, and the reason why she held back was that she wanted to cheat some money to make it, so she stuffed the jade bracelet into her hand.
didn't think that Gu Yutang would forget it if he didn't accept it, and stuffed it into his hand again, and said those words.
She couldn't figure it out, how could the third girl of the Gu family be different from the girl next to her?
"Third girl, according to what you say, do you forgive my mother-in-law for her mistake in words?" Li Shi was not sure, so he had the courage to ask again.
Since the Li family asked like this, Gu Yutang couldn't say anything else, so he said.
"He who does not know is not guilty. Old Madam Huang didn't know that I was the third girl of the Gu family, so why should I blame her? Besides, I served by my grandmother's side, and many people saw me as a maid by my grandmother's side. ”
As soon as Gu Yutang said this, the Huang family, who had been hanging a heart, put his heart down.
The Huang family had been worried in his heart, if Gu Yutang heard what he had just said, he would have said a few words to Mrs. Lin afterwards. I'm afraid that this Gu Mansion will not be able to come in the future.
Seeing Gu Yutang say this, Li still stuffed the jade bracelet into Gu Yutang's hand.
"Third girl, since you called me a few words of sister-in-law of the Li family according to your seniority, then you still have to accept this jade bracelet. After all, the elders give it, you can't say it, don't you?"
Li said, and before Gu Yutang could react, he put the jade bracelet that he had just taken off from his wrist and put it on Gu Yutang's wrist.
The jade bracelet is made of gold inlaid jade and gold silk. A few pieces of gold as thin as paper were hammered with a wooden hammer until they could be used to grind into hard gold threads, and then these gold threads were used to form several delicate and small lotus flowers.
After the lotus flower was formed, the technique of gold inlaid jade was used, and the lotus flower made of gold silk was inlaid into the hole on the jade bracelet.
This jade bracelet technique is too cumbersome to be made by ordinary workshops.
Only Lao Sheng's family in Chengjiang has a few masters who make gold and jade bracelets, and they have such a level.
It may invite the master of Lao Sheng's family to come to the house to create hand decorations, which is either rich or expensive.
Thinking like this, Gu Yutang glanced in the direction of the Li family, and saw that she lowered her head and looked at the Huang family with a little fear in her eyes.
This Li family, not a girl from a big family, how can there be such a precious dowry bracelet?
And there is no girl from any family who is willing to marry the son of a steward, so that when she marries into her husband's family, she must not only serve her husband's parents-in-law, but also serve her master's family.
So some people went out to buy their own property and bought a few pieces of land after working as stewards in the government for a few years. If you marry your daughter-in-law in this way, you don't have to take your daughter-in-law to the house on an errand and do the work of serving people.
Li also seemed to notice that Gu Yutang was staring at her, thinking that he had spent his makeup. asked the maid next to him to take out the small bronze mirror she carried, took a few photos, and saw that her makeup was not flowered, so she asked Gu Yutang.
"Third girl, did you take a look at the patterns on the clothes of the concubine? Why do you keep staring at me?"
Hearing what Li said, Gu Yutang was so bad that he said that he was probing information from her, so he followed her words and asked.
"The patterns on the clothes of the Li family's sister-in-law are indeed a little different, I don't know if I invited the master to paint them or painted them myself?"
Li didn't expect that someone would praise the beautiful patterns on her clothes. People who have seen her before said that the patterns on her clothes are too earthy, and they have been popular styles many years ago, why is she still wearing them?
But where do others know? These styles are the styles of the old Sheng family in previous years, but those people don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, and they can't see it, and they also say that this style is just soil.
"The third girl didn't know, this dress was made for me many years ago, when I got married, my mother specially called the master of the old Sheng family in Chengjiang Mansion to come into the house and make it for me. The workmanship and fabric are much better than the makeup and satin that are popular on the market today.
It's just that since the death of the old master, there is no successor, and the old Sheng family has also invited other masters. ”
Hearing what the Li family said, Gu Yutang also remembered some things that happened in the previous life.
When her mother sent her to her uncle's house, her mother also specially called the master of the old Sheng family to enter the house and made a lot of clothes for her and Yuli, two large cages, all of which were clothes for her and Yuli.
Then my mother died, and the clothes were moved to my uncle's house, where she never touched them again.
Seeing that Gu Yutang's eyes gradually moistened, the Li family thought that he had said something, which made Gu Yutang think of the past.
hurriedly smiled, and comforted repeatedly: "The third girl is not going to shed tears, the girl's tears, those are golden beans." If it falls out, it's worthless. and cried like a flower cat, and walked out, to be laughed at by the maids. ”
As he spoke, Li instructed the maid next to him to open the food box on the side, took out a plate of candied fruit, and handed it to the high table beside Gu Yutang.
The Lin family, who was sitting next to Gu Yutang, also noticed that something was wrong with her granddaughter, why did her granddaughter cry bitterly when she saw the clothes that Li was wearing? Could it be that there is something else hidden in this?
Lin didn't think much about it, but comforted his granddaughter first.
"Good Tang'er, you can taste it quickly! This candied fruit was originally intended for your grandmother Feng, but Mrs. Li saw you crying, so she took out a few pieces, but you have to taste it so as not to disappoint Mrs. Li's kindness. ”
I don't know if the Huang family heard something wrong or what, when she heard Old Madam Lin say that these candied fruits were to be given to Old Madam Feng. I thought that Mrs. Lin was resentful, and she gave Mrs. Feng all the good things, but she didn't. Hurriedly knelt down and explained.
"Old Madam Lin, we were in a hurry after we went out, and we didn't tell the maid to bring more candied fruit. These candied fruits are not specially honored by us to Mrs. Feng, please don't take it to heart, when we go back, we must call the maid to send more candied fruits. ”
Li saw that his mother-in-law knelt down in a hurry, pulled the corner of the nurse's skirt, and knelt down with him.
"I beg Mrs. Lin for forgiveness, I was really in a hurry to go out this time, and I didn't expect to bring more candied fruit. Children love to eat preserves, my family invited the master to come to the house to make preserves, there are still many candied fruits at home, after we go back, we must call someone to send some. ”
The kneeling of the Huang family and the Li family one after the other shocked everyone sitting in the room, especially the Lin family. Her original intention was not to blame the Huang family, she was not prepared to give her candied fruit, her words were just to coax Gu Yutang.
Who knew that Huang would listen to it, thinking that he was blaming her for something in his words.
It's just a few plates of candied fruit, and she doesn't need to fight with Feng Lao'an for a few plates of candied fruit.
After picking up the Huang family in person, the Lin family specially ordered the little maid to bring a cup of hot tea and put it on the high table next to the Huang family.
"Old Madam Huang, drink a few hot teas to suppress the shock! I didn't mean what I just said, I think you heard it wrong. Since your little grandson loves to eat the candied fruit, leave it for him to eat! I'm an old woman, how can I be embarrassed to snatch a child's snacks? ”
Huang listened to Lin's words, and just took a sip of hot tea, his heart that had calmed down became flustered again.
"Old Madam Lin, you are really tormented by your old body. Although my little grandchildren love to eat that candied fruit, they don't eat much, if Mrs. Lin likes to eat, I will let someone send some over. ”
Since the Huang family said so, the Lin family was not so bad that they refused to accept it again. If she refuses again, I don't know what Huang thinks in his heart?
In the front hall, Mrs. Feng and the Huang family talked for a long time, and the Li family saw that the time was not early, and they had to rush to see Ma Ci, but Mrs. Feng didn't leave them long, and sent them to the outer courtyard after calling the maid.
Before leaving, Li specially took Gu Yutang to the corner, apologized, apologized, and tossed. In the end, he also said that before Gu Yutang returned to Chengjiang, he would go to their house as a guest, and teach Gu Yutang to make candied fruit when the time came.
Gu Yutang declined, she was in a hurry to go back to see her mother Yuli, she really couldn't take the time to go outside the city to play, and making candied fruit was not what she liked.
Huang took Li's hand to the account room where Ma Ci worked, and called Li and the nurse to guard outside the house, Huang and Ma Ci talked in the house for a long time, and told Ma Ci all the words that Feng Lao'an explained to her.
It wasn't until sunset that Huang came out of the account room with a tired face. Ma Ci came out with them, and after sending Huang and Li into the carriage, he quietly went back.
After going back, Ma Ci called Mrs. Zhao, the housekeeper who was waiting in the outer courtyard, and went to the back room where Feng Lao'an was located, thinking that he had made up his mind.
Qi Shi hugged Hu'er, stood under the corridor, looked at Ma Ci and Zhao Pozi who hurried over, and said to the nurse behind him.
"The old lady is going to attack the sixth master, you have been paying attention to the movements of the old lady these days, and the sixth master is also secretly sending people to follow."
The nurse answered "yes" and took over the tiger in Qi's arms, her face didn't look very good, as if she hadn't slept well for more than ten days.
"Madam, since the medicine given to Brother Hu was stopped, the old slave has not slept well for more than ten days. The toxic side effects of that medicine are too great, and Brother Hu is afraid that it is not a way to fall asleep day and night like this. The nurse rubbed her eyes, desperately trying to keep herself awake.
"I know, the old lady has installed a maid in your house, you should be careful! Don't let others see the flaws! ”
Qi had one thing planned in her heart, but the time had not yet come, and she hadn't said it yet.
Looking at the gloomy sky and a heavy rain, I am afraid that it is coming.
