"Miss, you've been busy all day, why don't you use more? Isn't it unappetizing, I'll ask the kitchenette to make some more delicious ones for you to bring to the house, and when the banquet is over, how about using some more? The maid Huanruo saw that the young lady seemed to have no appetite, but just took a little green vegetables and ate it.

"No, that's enough." Gui Jingxue said lightly.

The ladies over there also chatted and ate and drank with all their interest, and after drinking tea, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and they got up to say goodbye.

"Mother, you and your sister rest, I'll send these ladies off." Gui Jingxue got up, Yingying said.

"Okay, hard work." Yu had been greeting the female guests all night, and he was indeed a little tired.

"Miss Gui, why bother you to send it all the way," Grandma Bai said politely.

"It's okay, Mrs. Bai, it's only a few steps left and right, and I happen to take a walk." Gui Jingxue said, thoughtfully holding Mrs. Bai's arm: "Be careful! Big lady. ”

"Oh, I've eaten a few glasses of wine, I'm really a little drunk, thank you, Miss." Grandma Bai held her forehead and said heartily: "You two sisters are really a lovely couple, one is square and the other is lively. I really envy your mother, who can have such a good pair of daughters, so cute. As he spoke, he patted Gui Jingxue's hand affectionately.

"The eldest lady praised it falsely, Xue'er is just an ordinary woman, Yue'er is indeed outstanding and cute." Gui Jingxue said modestly, and did not forget to praise her sister in front of outsiders.

Mrs. Bai nodded secretly, and then asked tentatively: "Miss Gui Er is one of the best talents in a hundred, and she has also reached her age, I don't know what Ling Tang's plans are?" After saying that, I felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to say this to such a girl who had not yet come out of the cabinet, and I couldn't help blushing a little. But she was also anxious in her heart, recently she saw the wives of those families, and saw that the second lady was like a wolf seeing a sheep, she was afraid that she would be robbed by other families to go first.

Gui Jingxue was not as ashamed as the average lady, but replied generously: "Xue'er didn't listen to her mother talk about Yue'er's family affairs, one is because our sisters can't go past the eldest brother, and the other is because of the incident a few years ago, which damaged Yue'er's reputation...... "Gui Jingxue said and suddenly reacted, then stopped, looking annoyed......

But what a delicate person Grandma Bai is, she immediately saw the clue from her obscure look, a few years ago, the second lady who returned home fell into the water in the Shanghu General's Mansion, and was rescued by the eldest son of the Marquis Ji Mansion in Jingcheng Town, and later the Su family and the Ji Mansion of Honglu Temple sent people to return to the house to ask for relatives, and the result was that the return to the house was also a backbone family, and even rejected these two famous families.

At that time, this incident was also a sensation, and looking at the way their eldest lady said this today, there must be something unknown to outsiders in it......

If you think about it, that eldest son Ji is a famous gentleman in the capital, and he rescued him...... It seems that the rumor that Miss Gui Er was carried all the way to the hospital by him is not groundless.

If you let your mother-in-law know about this, then Mu Ge'er's family affairs will not be completed, and now she is the housekeeper, she knows how unbearable the foundation of Baifu is now, hey! Grandma Bai looked up at Gui Jingxue's eyes with three more points of scrutiny.

Gui Jingxue is young in the end, how strict she is with her dignity and peace on weekdays, at this time, looking at Grandma Bai's suddenly a little sarcastic sharp eyes, she can't stand it. I had to hold it back, tried to raise a peaceful smile, and said goodbye.

"Okay, it's time for the eldest lady." Grandma Bai said with a first politeness and detachment.

Grandma Bai, who returned to Baifu, was no longer as eager as before to persuade the old lady to go home and propose marriage.

"Auntie," Bai Muzhi's face was a little red, and he didn't know how to speak for a while. After waiting for a long time and not seeing his grandmother go home to say goodbye, Bai Muzhi couldn't help but be a little anxious, since he met Gui Mingyue again in the rain, he was sure that he wanted to marry her.

"Hey, I know what you want to say, but ......" Grandma Bai sighed and hesitated, but finally said what she had heard.

When Bai Muyi heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Auntie, I used to be classmates with the second lady who returned home, and I know in my heart what kind of person she is. I also know about that incident a few years ago, and I believe her. ”

"That'...... Okay, then I'll go to your grandmother and talk about it. Grandma Bai agreed.

"Thank you, thank you, auntie!" Bai Muzhi hurriedly said.

"Hey, you kid, as long as your mother doesn't annoy me for advocating for you, I'll be thankful." Grandma Bai quipped.

"Definitely not, how could my mother blame my aunt." Bai Muzhi said disapplausively.

Oh, this child must not have known his mother's intention to give him her maiden niece.

Let's say that on the Yu family's side, I only know that there are a few local officials and merchants who are interested in Sister Yue'er, but they are not anxious about her and Sister Xue's family affairs, relying on their family background, they don't seek to be rich and noble, they just want a good family who is innocent, simple and kind, and they are both not yet married, and they want to stay by their side for a few more years, and it is Brother Zhi who should be anxious now.

Gui Mingyue and Gui Jingxue went to several flower-viewing banquets with Yu's family, saying that they were appreciating chrysanthemums and plums, but in fact, they were going to see the right girls.

Yu's requirements are not high, she knows the conditions of Brother Zhi'er, although she still has a shop with a good harvest in her hand, but after all, it is inconvenient for her legs and feet, and she is not as good as those brothers with sound hands and feet.

In the end, the Yu family chose the daughter of the Wei family in the academy, the Wei family is also a scholarly family, Wei Fuzi and Mrs. Wei are both honest and responsible people, there are two daughters of the same age in the family, the older one is cool and generous, and the younger one is gentle and silent.

According to Yu's preference for small ones, but Gui Chengzhi personally expressed his desire to marry the big one, Yu wondered, this Brother Zhi didn't care much about those young ladies in the past, and he said that he would kiss him before, but he just casually said that his mother was in charge. This time, he blushed and said that he liked the eldest lady of the Wei family, and under questioning, he told the truth, it turned out that these two people actually had a relationship in private, and others don't know what happened. As younger brothers and sisters, Gui Mingyue and Gui Chengqi, they can't help but joke that the eldest brother is really a thousand-year-old iron tree.

However, according to Gui Mingyue's point of view, the eldest lady of the Wei family is indeed more suitable to marry and return to the house, the mother is weak and cowardly, and the eldest sister and herself cannot stay in the home forever, and the sister-in-law will have to be in charge of the family in the future. Although that Miss Wei Er is gentle and obedient, when it comes to being in charge of the house, it is still the cool Miss Wei who is more suitable.

The eldest brother's family affair was booked a year ago, during which the lively Miss Wei and a few little sisters pretended to buy flowers, and went to Hu Bugui's shop to secretly see Gui Chengzhi. Gui Chengzhi himself is not such a twisted person, since he has determined that this young lady will be his wife in the future, he will naturally treat her differently from others, where did Miss Wei talk to a man other than her father and brother like this, Rao is temperament can not help but blush. Under the laughter of the little sisters, they took a bouquet of red plums handed over by Gui Chengzhi and fled in embarrassment.

"Your family's eldest son, it turned out to be this handsome appearance." The little sister laughed.

"You! What are you talking about, talk nonsense, I, I'm ......" where is Miss Wei's usual clever mouth, and she shyly walked her face into the bouquet of red plums, that time Gui Chengzhi followed Uncle Gui to Weifu, she didn't know that he was Uncle Gui's eldest son, she just thought it was a small guy, or a lame little guy, so she teased him and asked him to help him get the kite hanging on the tree, who knew that this little lame man moved quickly, but he put the kite in a moment. In the end, he condescendingly taught her how dangerous it is to fly a kite by the lotus pond...... At that time, looking at his frowning sword eyebrows and pursing his lips when he didn't speak, her heart suddenly beat like thunder.

Later, my mother said that I wanted to marry my own family, and I heard the people around me say that returning home is indeed a good family, and the academy of Uncle Gui can now accommodate hundreds of scholars, and the eldest son's Hu Bugui flower shop business is booming, and the most powerful thing is that I heard that his family's second lady's head jewelry business has done the corner of the Dadong Dynasty, and his little son won the first place in this year's autumn Xie Yuan...... It's a great way to get home!

It's just that at first I heard that the intention to return home was the little sister, although she had a more spicy temperament, but since she was a child, she would not compete with the little sister in everything, so she had to be depressed for a while. Who knew that the person who came to propose marriage later actually said that he was the one who returned home and the eldest son, and the latter sentence surprised her mother and sister, and she was ashamed and happy in her heart.

Here, Miss Wei was relieved and prepared for marriage with her mother at home. There is a family affair set by the eldest prince, and it is also a festive and peaceful, the New Year is approaching, and the Yu family and Gui Chengzhi are busy preparing New Year's goods and New Year's gifts; The most important thing here is to prepare for the spring meeting next year; Gui Mingyue received a message from the caravan that he had made contact with the gold mine owner in the Northland, and that the tortoiseshell wanted to find the herb that cured the poison in Yun Lang's body, and also had a clue.

Return to the west wing of the small courtyard.

"Big brother, what if you break into the night like this, what if someone finds out." Yun Lang said with a smile.

"Hmph, you still have the face to say that you will run away from home without saying a word, do you know that this will be very worrying!" Ji Yunyi's always cynical face rarely stiffened this time, and he said.

"In this world, there is only one big brother who worries about me" Yun Lang's smile remained unchanged, but there was a subtle sadness in his words.

Ji Yunyi's breath stagnated, sighed and said, "I see that the Gui family is very good to you, you are more comfortable here than before." ”

"Well, my sister is very good to me, and they are both very good to me."

"Sister, you call her sister......" Ji Yunyi muttered.

Ji Yunlang suddenly worked hard to owe himself, patted his eldest brother's shoulder, blinked his eyes and said playfully: "Big brother, I will help you." ”

"Ahem...... Ahem, what can you help with, take care of yourself. Ji Yunyi said with an embarrassed face.

"Big brother, thank you," Ji Yunlang suddenly said: "In that flash flood, the person who saved Brother Chengzhi was the eldest brother." ”

Ji Yunyi was noncommittal, stayed for a long time, got up and said: "I'm leaving, I will be in the other courtyard during the New Year's Festival, you can go over if you have a chance, forget it if you don't." ”
