Chapter 12: Together

Gu Zheng's words made Gu Liniang cough twice with a weak heart, obviously Gu Liniang had been sold and deceived before, but she quickly regained her confidence and protested with a dissatisfied face: "Nannan, how can you say that about your mother and me?" Do you and I look stupid and deceitful? How come it is that as soon as I come to you, your mother and I will become a fool that everyone can deceive?! ”

Gu Zheng thought to himself that you are not only stupid but also a little greedy, so as long as people show a little benefit, you will automatically take the bait and throw yourself into the net......

However, Gu Zheng only dared to hide these words in his stomach, and he didn't dare to reveal half a sentence on his mouth, so he only chased after Gu Liniang and asked Aunt Sun about it, but Gu Zheng didn't have time to interrogate Gu Liniang clearly, so Spoon hurriedly entered the house and said: "Auntie, cousin, Mrs. Tai sent a little maid over there to invite her, saying that the Rongshoutang side called the master, the lady, and the girls and aunts in the house today, and let the aunt and cousin go to Rongshoutang to confess!" ”

Since Mrs. Tai invited them to come over to recognize their relatives, Gu Zheng's mother and son did not dare to delay, and after changing their clothes and tidying up their appearance, the two hurried to Rongshoutang...... As soon as she opened the curtain and entered the inner room, Gu Zheng saw at a glance that the room was already full of people, among which a few little girls of her age and well-dressed were the most eye-catching.

As soon as Mrs. Tai saw Gu Zheng's mother and daughter arrive, she immediately beckoned to them with a kind face, and after beckoning Gu Zheng's mother and daughter to her side, she took the lead in pointing to the Taishi chair sitting on the side with a tea cup, wearing a royal blue straight jacket and a black jade gold box wide belt around her waist, and looked at a man about thirty-five years old and introduced: "Ah Luan, this is your eldest brother, you haven't seen him for many years, do you remember him?" ”

Gu Liniang's eyes immediately turned red when she heard this, and then she immediately pounced on Master Cen with sharp movements, and shouted with tears in her eyes and sincerity: "Big brother! ”

Even though Master Cen is already the head of a rather dignified family and the Dingnan Bo who has inherited the title, he still can't help but redden his eyes when he sees his sister who has been living abroad for more than 20 years because of his own mistakes, and in addition to the excited look in his eyes, there is also a trace of deep guilt.

I saw that Master Cen quickly stretched out his hand to help Gu Liniang up, and while looking at her face that was very similar to Mrs. Tai's youth, he said in a dumb voice: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back...... Ah Luan, it's the eldest brother who can't stand you, and it's the eldest brother who has caused you to suffer so much over the years! Big brother should be punished and beaten! ”

The picture of the brother and sister recognizing each other in front of her made Mrs. Tai moved, and she saw that she pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said a round: "Okay, okay, since you stinky boy knows that you are wrong, then you should treat Ah Luan and Wanwan well in the future, and make up for the mistakes you made because of your playfulness back then!" Mrs. Tai gently pushed Gu Zheng as she spoke, and said with encouragement: "Wanwan, this is your uncle and your mother's eldest brother, go over and show your uncle!" ”

Hearing this, Gu Zheng snuggled up to Master Cen very obediently, and shouted at him sweetly: "Hello uncle!" ”

"Bend is so good!"

As he spoke, Master Cen took out a pair of unicorn ornaments carved from white jade and a pair of glazed rabbit paperweights, and gave them to Gu Zheng's mother and son respectively, which was a gift to them.

The pair of white jade unicorns were for Gu Liniang, Gu Liniang knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance, and she was happy and moved neatly to put the things into her arms, looking like she was afraid that Master Cen would regret it and ask for it back.

However, after Gu Zheng accepted the pair of glazed rabbit paperweights, he politely thanked Master Cen, and generously said that he would make a purse to give back to Master Cen, which caused everyone in the room to cover their mouths and laugh......

When Mrs. Tai heard this, she took out the "four dislikes" purse that Gu Zheng had given her before, and handed it to Master Cen with a smile, a little bit of fun for Gu Zheng's ghost and cleverness, and a little bit of showing off the purse made by her granddaughter to Master Cen herself.

Master Cen also laughed after seeing the "four dislikes" purse, so the atmosphere in the room was lively and harmonious for a while...... After seeing Master Cen, the head of the family, Mrs. Tai pointed at Mrs. Luo and said, "Ah Luan, this is your sister-in-law, how many times have you met before, right?" ”

"Have you seen it? Even Mother Chen, who is next to my sister-in-law, is already very familiar with me! Gu Liniang said and led Gu Zheng to Mrs. Luo, bent her knees and saluted her, which was considered to be a confession, and after the salute, without waiting for Mrs. Luo to speak, Gu Liniang directly spread her palm and stretched it out in front of her, and said: "Sister-in-law, you can't be stingy, don't give me a meeting gift with Nannan, it's not as good as the eldest brother!" ”

This Gu Liniang deliberately said in front of Mrs. Tai, "I am already very familiar with Mother Chen next to my sister-in-law", is it an allusion to Mrs. Luo's request for Mother Chen to go to Quanyuan before? Mrs. Luo thinks that Gu Liniang is deliberately giving her eye medicine in front of Mrs. Tai!

In addition, now Gu Liniang is still so rude to stretch out her hand in front of her, looking like she owes her, which really makes her feel very unhappy after seeing it!

But Mrs. Luo's heart was no longer happy, she didn't dare to attack in front of Mrs. Tai and Master Cen, she couldn't slap off the hand that Gu Liniang stretched out in front of her, she could only take out a pair of golden butterfly dotted emerald jewelry heads and give them to Gu Liniang hatefully, which was a meeting gift for her; Later, Mrs. Luo gave Gu Zheng a pendant collar with a golden jade fish folded silk coral gemstone, saying that it was for Gu Zheng to wear and play with clothes on weekdays.

This Gu Liniang got a complete set of jewelry, and immediately smiled with joy, her eyes lit up, and she took the initiative to say to Mrs. Tai: "Mother, who else is Ah Luan who hasn't seen her relatives yet?" Your old man hurriedly pointed them out, and Ah Luan went over to ask for gifts one by one...... No, it's a past ceremony! ”

Although Gu Liniang's words were rude and explicit, she was better than being straightforward and sincere, and immediately made Mrs. Tai shake her head and cover her mouth with a smile, and only after laughing enough did she look helpless and said with doting: "No, no, our family is not very prosperous, and you are the only ones in your generation, and the rest are juniors, and they should kowtow to you." ”

As soon as Gu Liniang heard that a junior was going to kowtow to her, she immediately became proud, thinking that it was finally her turn to show off the majesty of the elders of the big family! It's a pity that Gu Liniang hasn't been happy for long, and when she thinks that the elders have to give the younger generations a gift, she shrug her head and is depressed and depressed.

I saw Gu Liniang reluctantly touching the baby in her arms, and muttered in a low voice: "Mother, I really want to meet those juniors, but I ...... I don't have anything to give them a greeting gift! I'm poor, really! If you don't believe it, ask ......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room immediately burst into laughter, and Gu Zheng, who was standing next to Gu Liniang, turned his head calmly, carefully observing the pot of red peonies on the corner flower table, until Gu Zheng could even count the buds on the branches of the pot of peonies, and the lady slowly opened her mouth to relieve Gu Liniang......

"Ah Luan, you don't have to cry poor in front of everyone, I really can't complain about you! It's only been a few days since you returned home, how can you take out any considerate things to reward these juniors," Mrs. Tai said and glanced sideways at Mama Yu, and Mama Yu immediately understood and instructed the maid to bring out two plates of things, and instructed: "Zisu, you go to your aunt and stand by your grandmother, and when the girls kowtow to your aunt and grandmother for a while, you will offer this plate of things to your aunt and grandmother to choose, and she will send whatever she likes, so you don't have to feel sorry for the old lady." ”

After Zi Su got the order, he immediately stood beside Gu Liniang with a smile holding the tray full of hairpin bracelets, jade pendants and other things. Then Mama Yu told the maid tortoiseshell a few words, and the tortoiseshell stood behind Gu Zheng with a tray full of various gadgets——— it was obvious that Mrs. Tai had a very thoughtful idea for Gu Zheng's mother and daughter, not only prepared Gu Liniang's meeting gift, but also prepared gifts for Gu Zheng and the sisters early.
