Chapter 390: Extra Little Gathering
Sister Yan wants to be close to Xie Yuanniang, but she has been used to being cold for many years, and she is very nervous when she wants to find something to say, for fear of saying the wrong thing.
Xie Yuanniang was stunned because of her words, "You mean that Mrs. Gu is looking at me?" ”
Sister Yan nodded, her expression was a little restrained, "Mrs. Gu's gaze at her sister was a little different, so I thought about finding an opportunity to talk to my sister." ”
Sister Yan's overture couldn't be more obvious.
Xie Yuanniang didn't know why Sister Yan did this, but she was still happy to accept it, the two of them were sisters, and they couldn't be like strangers.
She took the initiative to shake Sister Yan's hand, and Sister Yan was slightly startled, and immediately relaxed again.
"Thank you. Sister Yan also knows that she cares about her sister, and her sister is very happy. Xie Yuanniang blinked, "It's just that my sister doesn't do well in dogma and etiquette, and my sister usually has to urge me more." ”
Sister Yan smiled, "Actually, I envy my sister for living freely." ”
Xie Yuanniang smiled, "Then live freely, live for a lifetime, be careful about everything, care about what others think, that is to live for others, not for yourself." ”
Sister Yan's eyes lit up, no one had ever said these words to her.
Xie Yuanniang patted her hand before letting go.
It is impossible for sisters to get close to each other all of a sudden, they always have to take their time, especially the difference in ideas, and they must slowly run in.
Right now, she is thinking about Mrs. Gu, Sister Yan must not be wrong when she sees it, so why is Mrs. Gu observing her?
She understands her mother-in-law's temperament and knows that she will definitely not do useless things.
Mrs. Gu at the Gu Mansion thought about it for two days, and then went to her mother-in-law this day, "Before, because my uncle took a lot of care of Xie Mansion, I went to Liu's Mansion two days ago, and I made a special observation of the girl from the Xie family, as well as the one who returned to the Kong family." ”
Old Madam Gu nodded even while putting down the scriptures in her hand, "How is it?" ”
Since the youngest son's banquet, the marriage has not been mentioned, how can Mrs. Gu not be in a hurry.
Mrs. Gu smiled, "It's that Xie Yuanniang, who looks like an interesting person." ”
"Xie Yuanniang? Is it the one who recognized the Kong family? "Old Madam Gu has been listening to a lot of these things in Jinling City for her son's marriage for a while.
Mrs. Gu nodded, "It's a pity that I'm looking at the son of the Liu Mansion now." ”
Old Madam Gu was disappointed again, and Mrs. Gu persuaded, "Mother, don't worry, the second brother should go down, and he will definitely be concerned." ”
"I'll wait until the day he gets his heart." Old Madam Gu was anxious, and asked the people around her to see if her son was in the mansion, and if he was in the mansion, he would come to her.
Coincidentally, Gu Yuan returned to the house after retreating from the court today, and he didn't go anywhere to read in the study, and he heard his mother looking for him, so he came over.
Mrs. Gu was not good at being present, and when she heard that the second brother was in the house, she went back to her courtyard first.
Old Madam Gu looked at her son, proud in her heart, and looked around, the Taiyuan Dynasty could not find such an excellent person as her son.
"Mother, but you're not feeling well again?" Gu Yuan sat down beside her, not as cold as in the past with others, and his expression was very gentle.
"Brother Yuan, you are not young."
Gu Yuan understood as soon as he heard it, and he smiled, "Don't worry, my daughter-in-law will always be unable to run away, so you can just wait to hold your grandson." ”
"I don't care, you'll get married to me this year."
Gu Yuan smiled, "Even if you are married now, it will only be three months before the Chinese New Year, and no one will marry their daughter in such a hurry." ”
Old Madam Gu also smiled, "It's not that you're confused." You tell me the truth, what the hell do you think? You have to look at each other, and you also invited all the girls in Jinling City, and you hid out again, isn't this making fun of my wife? ”
"Something is wrong with my son."
"There is something to do, as long as you look at the girl, you will be fine." Old Madam Gu lost her temper like a child, "You are one, and Tingzhi, none of your uncles and nephews can hide." You, in particular, are going to get married right away. ”
"Mother...."Gu Yuan sighed, he never thought of starting a family.
He knew that he was a person with a cold personality, and whoever he married would be a victim, so he thought that he would wait for the court to become a family, and take his children with him to raise him, which can be regarded as a worthy father and eldest brother.
Old Madam Gu seemed to see through his thoughts, opened her mouth, and said for a long time, "Your father's eldest brother went early, if you hadn't taken charge of the entire Gu Mansion back then, where would there be a place for our orphans and widows, the side branches of the Gu Mansion would have eaten us." I know that you don't like to be an official in the court, and the officialdom is deceitful to me, and I have suffered you all these years. ”
Now that the Gu Mansion is stable, but she has missed her youngest son's life, how can Old Madam Gu not be sad.
Gu Yuan wanted to persuade his mother, but he didn't know what to say.
He is used to being quiet, used to being alone, even to his biological mother, and he can't get close.
The mother and son sat like this for more than half an hour, Mrs. Gu said that she was tired, Gu Yuan got up and retired, and after he came, he was also in a very dull mood.
Jiang Yi didn't dare to persuade him when he saw it, and followed quietly behind him.
On the other side, the two sisters Xie Yuanniang had already met with Bai Jianxi, and Bai Jianxi also brought Cao Qin over, and Xu Wan, who was even more rare, was also there.
Xu Wan went back to Jiangnan a few days ago, and only came back in the past few days, and she looked a little thinner, but she was still very energetic.
When she saw Xie Yuanniang, Xu Wan turned her head and didn't see it, so she leaned next to Bai Jianxi to talk.
Bai Jianxi set a private room in the teahouse that could put two tables, separated by a screen in the middle, and the women sat at the table inside, and the little white imperial doctor, Brother Cao Qin and Brother Xu Wan sat outside.
Cao Qin said with a smile, "I heard that there is a new storyteller in the teahouse, and the stories told are also good, so I want to thank Sister Bai today." ”
Bai Jianxi smiled, "It's good if my sister likes it." ”
Outside, the little white imperial doctor stood at the screen, "You can also order a play here, a few girls can take a look." ”
Bai Jianxi asked the girl next to him to go to the screen to take over the book, Xu Wan and Cao Qin are both people who like to be lively, and they came to Bai Jianxi's side.
Xie Yuanniang sat there and felt bored, and it was difficult to leave when she first came at this time, so she could only look out the window, and really let her see something.
It's Guo Ke and the three, these three people are sneaky, and they don't know what they're doing, but they know by looking at this move that they're not doing a good thing.
"Sister, do you want to see if you have a favorite play?" Sister Yan also had Bai Jianxi to entertain, but Xie Yuanniang was alone, Sister Yan was also worried when she saw it, so she took the time to come over and ask.
Xie Yuanniang turned her head, "I thought I was going to go to the pen and ink shop to have a look, and today is just an opportunity." ”
Sister Yan smiled, "Then sister will go first and come back when she is done." ”
Even after speaking, Sister Yan took the initiative to go to Bai Jianxi to talk.
Bai Jianxi naturally wouldn't stop others from doing anything, but Xu Wan pouted.
