CHAPTER XVII

Ruan Jiao gave Gu Xiaofeng a look, Gu Xiaofeng understood, went out, and after a while, she brought Ping'er over.

Mrs. Li was chatting with Ruan Jiao about her skills, and when she saw Ping'er pestle in front of her in the blink of an eye, she couldn't help but be stunned, and the smile on her face froze.

Ruan Jiao went over to lift Ping'er's skirt and said with a smile: "Good mama, isn't this a ready-made three-inch golden lotus?" You can show your ability to talk about a good person. ”

Mrs. Li's face was pale, and after a long time, she laughed: "Second Grandma Gu is really a character, which makes people look down on her." ”

When Ping'er heard this, her face flushed with shame, she tore Gu Xiaofeng's hand away, turned her head and ran, but because of the pain in her feet, she fell to the ground with a somersault.

Gu Xiaofeng helped her up and walked out with her.

Mrs. Li looked at her back, sighed, and shook her head: "Isn't this a trampling of your own children?" Although I remember her hatred, I didn't expect her to have such a ruthless heart, even her own daughter, just that, since the eldest girl begged me, I don't want to admit it, but Gu Er's grandmother is a little more angry, I don't know what kind of person suits her heart. ”

Seeing her say this, Ruan Jiao hurriedly bowed and said with a smile: "Ask Mama to tell Ping'er a good family, don't let her suffer in the past." ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her up, and said with a smile: "This is my blessing, big girl, just rest assured, don't look at her, just look at you, in a few days, I will find a few people, and the second grandmother will pick it up by herself." ”

When Ruan Jiao heard this, she was overjoyed, and took out Zhang Huizi from her sleeve to give it to her, but she refused to ask for it, raised her feet and went out, and said with a smile: "The big girl is polite, it should be done, just wait for the good news, it is really done, and it is not too late to give a thank you gift." ”

After sending off Mrs. Li, Ruan Jiao was about to sit down and take a sip of tea, when she saw Liu walking in with a small cloth bag in her hand and a smile on her face, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for her and beckoned her to sit.

Liu refused to sit down, only put the small cloth bag on the table, pushed it to her, and said with a smile: "The good tea and noodles sent by my mother's brother, the eldest girl will taste it." ”

"Grandma Xie." Ruan Jiao thanked her.

Liu said politely, looked at the furnishings in the room, seemed to have something to say, but just didn't say it.

Ruan Jiao beckoned her to sit again, but she just refused, standing at the table, rubbing her fingers, and wanting to say goodbye.

Ruan Jiao hurriedly opened the box, took out a piece of satin clothing, gave it to her, and said with a smile: "Grandma, I brought gifts back to everyone, but because of the hurry of coming back, the boxes have not been packed up, and the things have not been sorted out. You can take this piece of material first, and keep it for Young Master Sun to make two clothes to wear. ”

"How can this be made, how can Miss Ruan break the bank." Liu said with his mouth, but he held the piece of material tightly in his hand and never let go.

Ruan Jiao wanted to ask her a few words again, but when she heard the uncle's impatient cry from the room, Liu hurriedly said goodbye and walked out.

After a while, there were beatings, scolding and cries.

Ruan Jiao stood at the door and looked over there, sighing in her heart, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. In this life, if a woman can't marry a good man, it will be a day when she will never get ahead, and she will hear her aunt say that her grandmother was also a flower in ten miles and eight towns back then, and there are many people who go to the house to ask for relatives, but she wants to marry a scholar so that she can be a wife in the future.

Now the scholar is married, but his life is not satisfactory. It's not as good as expected, there is still such a good thing idle woman, not to say that the uncle can't get fame because he is stupid, but to say that the eldest grandmother has no life, which affects the uncle's future.

It seems that what a man does is right, but it is all the woman's fault, even if he can't get a name for himself in the exam, he can give a woman a crime, which is really a bitter thing!

It was getting late, Gu Ming pulled Gu Zhun back from outside, Ruan Jiao stood under the eaves, watching him walk past him without squinting, although he didn't squint, his eyes were clearly sad and unwilling.

Ruan Jiao bit her lip, turned around and walked into the house, and lowered the curtains.

Gu Xiaofeng shouted at her: "You kid, I deliberately lifted the curtain to walk away from the heat in the house, you might as well put it down, don't suffocate people, lift it up quickly." ”

Ruan Jiao didn't lift it, squatted down and opened the box to pack things.

Gu Xiaofeng got up and lifted the curtain by herself, turned around and smiled at her: "I just came back from a day in the car, and I have been busy for Ping'er for a long time, let's rest for a while, and I'll clean up tomorrow." ”

Ruan Jiao took out a delicate pen holder from the box, held it up in front of her eyes and looked at it for a long time, and threw it on the ground.

"Hey, what is this for, such a delicate object, but I don't want it?" Gu Xiaofeng screamed, walked over and bent down to pick it up, looked at it twice, smiled, squatted beside her, and lowered his voice:

"Big girl, isn't it for the sake of fame that you don't want to go south with the assassins and his wife? You are careful, don't think that your aunt and grandmother don't know, Mrs. Li came three times and twice, and the old lady never spit out, isn't it also for this marriage? It's just that if it's not good now, it's just a matter of putting it forward, and it's only three or four months of impatience, even if the old lady doesn't mention it, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will also bring it up. ”

"Grandma will be wrong, I'm not for him, I just feel comfortable living here!" Ruan Jiao blocked the airway.

Gu Xiaofeng stretched out his sleeves to wipe the pen holder clean and put it into the box, poked her forehead, and said with a smile: "You are a crystal hearted glass person, can you not know why Ming'er ignores you?" You are now the eldest lady of the assassin historian, but he doesn't even have a reputation, that kid is careful, he just doesn't want to delay your future. ”

Ruan Jiao fiddled with the pen in her hand and kept silent, but she was not convinced, she didn't go to the county seat, just an orphan girl living in his house, alone, penniless, he didn't say he disliked it, against his parents, blindly protecting her. Could it be that she only recognizes a godfather and lives a more comfortable life, so she will dislike him? It can be seen that he can't pay attention to her heart, and only treats her as a worldly person!

At dinner, Ruan Jiao lazily went over to eat, saying that she didn't eat it. The old lady ordered Chrysanthemum to bring the food over, and said that if it didn't taste good, she just asked Aunt Liu to redo it.

Ruan Jiao thanked the old lady in the past, and accompanied her to gossip a few words, before walking back, because the house was as hot as the yard, so she and Gu Xiaofeng sat on the steps under the eaves to enjoy the coolness, and without saying a few words, I saw Gu Zhun sobbing and choking out of the house, and came here listlessly.

The fan in Gu Xiaofeng's hand slapped a few times heavily, and sighed: "It's a mess every day, but it's for whom!" I'm afraid that others don't dislike it, it's good to be able to stop for a day, she is not as good as the second sister-in-law, the second brother silently made people have a big belly before taking them home, and I haven't seen the second sister-in-law make trouble, but on the surface it is still amiable, and I can't see anything. That's what life looks like. ”

"Zhun'er, why are you crying?"

Ruan Jiao saw Gu Zhun walking towards this side, so she asked him.

Gu Zhun stretched his sleeves to wipe his tears, walked up to them, knelt down and was about to kowtow to Ruan Jiao, but the panicked Ruan Jiao quickly got up and pulled him up, patted the dust on his knees, and said with a smile: "If you have something to say, it's all a family, but you were taught pedantic by your brother, why do you do such a big gift!" ”

"Please Sister Ruan to save my mother." Gu Zhun cried in a hoarse voice.

When Gu Xiaofeng heard this, he got up and dragged him into the house and lowered the door curtain.

Ruan Jiao followed up and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Gu Zhun sobbed and cried back: "I don't understand what they said, I only heard my father say what the marriage contract said, and said that Sister Ruan's money is our money, what is there to say, scolding my mother is useless, hitting my mother's head with the sole of my shoe, I stepped forward to stop it and beat me too." ”

"Ouch, poor child, let my aunt see where the fight is?" Gu Xiaofeng rolled up his sleeve to look at his arm, and sure enough, there was a large bruise.

Ruan Jiao couldn't be sad and angry, went to the box and turned over a bottle of bruising oil, asked Gu Xiaofeng to rub the child's arm, and asked him if it hurt and if he wanted to ask a doctor to come back and take a look.

Gu Xiaofeng rubbed Gu Zhun's arm while shaking his head and sighing: "Miss Ruan, let you see the joke, this is all poor, isn't it, my eldest brother, I really don't have any good things to say for him, a big man, he can't get his fame in the test, he can't make money, but he can beat his wife and children, it's really good to make people say anything." ”

"Isn't it possible to take the exam next year, maybe I'll be able to win the lift, I've survived all these years, and it's not bad for this year." Ruan Jiao said, took out a piece of broken silver from the box and handed it to Gu Zhun.

Gu Zhun looked at Gu Xiaofeng and didn't dare to take it.

"Take it, I said why did my grandmother suddenly send a bag of tea and face in the afternoon, knowing that my aunt and I don't like to drink these things, I still sent it, it turned out to be for this." Ruan Jiao put the silver in Gu Zhun's pocket and said with a wry smile.

"Miss Ruan, I'm afraid that if there is this time, there will be a second time, this kind of thing can't be used to, a family of four or five people, do you have to wait to eat your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door? But there is that face! This money can't be given! Gu Xiaofeng pulled down his face and shouted.

Gu Zhun pulled his pocket out, and was stopped by Ruan Jiao: "Take it first this time, go back and tell the grandmother, the tea noodles sent are really fragrant, even I, a person who doesn't like to drink, feel good when I drink it, take this silver first, if you meet such a good tea face again, just help me buy some." ”

"You kid, you're soft-hearted, but let them eat you!" Gu Xiaofeng sighed.

Ruan Jiao closed the lid of the bone-setting oil bottle, handed it to Gu Zhun, sent him out, and instructed him to let his brother rub it for him before going to bed.

Gu Zhun was a child at the bottom, coaxed by two good words, so he stopped crying, showed a smile, pulled her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Ruan, my brother misses you, he wrote a lot of poems about you, and I thought I couldn't read them, I remember them all, it's a hidden poem, I'll recite it to you." ”

"What's so good about those sour poems, I'm too lazy to listen to them." Ruan Jiao smiled and couldn't help blushing.

Gu Zhun didn't listen to her, and recited it all.

There are four poems in total, all of which are hidden poems, and the first poem hides Ruan Jiao's name, Gu Zhun finished reciting the poem, and ran away with a smile, but he made a Ruan Jiao lose his heart.

Gu Zhun's writing is good, the poems are beautiful, but they are desolate, full of thoughts about her, but they don't dare to possess her, but they just want her to be happy.
