Liu Shi didn't stop, put away Ruan Jiao's cover, and looked unforgiving: "You can listen to the old lady's words just now, Miss Ruan was brought back by the uncle, so she should be assigned to our room, and I will clean up her things, and then move over." ”

"It's really the World News, who just now refused to take it in, saying that our family has ignored the Ruan family's property? Now it's a joke to make such a foreign appearance again. Gu Xiaofeng clapped his hands and said, his face turned red with anger, and he leaned against the door and fanned the wind.

"Miss Ruan, you say, are you going to live with us, or are you going to live with your aunt and grandmother? I listen to you. Liu Shi hugged Ruan Jiao's bed, but his eyes were fixed on the door.

Ruan Jiao glanced towards the door and saw Gu Ming standing on the steps, looking this way with a sad face.

Because of the name, Ruan Jiao felt that she couldn't say anything to refuse, but she went to the big house like this, but she was really sorry for her aunt's friendship with her, so she gritted her teeth, stepped forward and pulled the cover in Liu's hand, and walked towards the kitchen: "I'm just a sojourner, penniless, and I don't dare to spend your Gu family's money, I don't follow anyone, just live with Aunt Liu, and from now on I will only be the girl of your Gu family." ”

"Miss Ruan, you can't just say this!" Liu and Gu Xiaofeng shouted together, stepped forward to block her way, and snatched the cover in her hand!

Ruan Jiao refused to give it, and was in this difficult situation, only to hear the old lady's sigh from the courtyard: "Enough, a group of uncompetitive things, I will lose the face of my Gu family in front of outsiders!" ”

When Liu and Gu Xiaofeng heard this, they retracted their hands, and Nuo Nuo's hanging hands stood aside.

Mrs. Gu walked over holding Chrysanthemum's hand, with a smile on her face, she reached out and took Ruan Jiao's hand and patted it gently, and said: "Miss Ruan, I know that you have an opinion about the old woman who assigned you to the uncle's side just now, in fact, I am also a painstaking person, thinking that you were brought back by the uncle, so I am naturally familiar with them, and it must be worry-free to stay in the big house, since you live in our house, and your father and Yu Nian have a relationship, how can I treat you badly, old woman!" Isn't that going to be struck by thunder from heaven? ”

The old lady was serious. Eating and living here for nothing, Ruan Jiao was also very uneasy in her heart. Ruan Jiao replied to her.

The old lady smiled again: "What is it to eat for nothing, it should be, since they are so unbearable, then no one will follow, Miss Ruan will give the old woman a face, and live with the old woman?" ”

"I'd better live with Aunt Liu, anyway, I usually work with her, so it's convenient, and I don't have to trouble the old lady." Ruan Jiao insisted on her opinion.

Aunt Liu ran over with an uneasy face, clapped her hands and smiled: "Ah, Miss Ruan, the old lady has said so, don't be angry, it's not me who said, it's your blessing to be able to follow the old lady." If you have been trained by an old lady for two years, you will definitely be able to marry a good family in the future, right? ”

Ruan Jiao looked at Aunt Liu's face, which was clearly full of nervousness and uneasiness, and she suddenly understood that her idea was definitely not good for her.

So he had to go downstairs, salute the old lady, and said with a smile: "The old lady Meng doesn't give up, but Ruan Jiao is disrespectful." ”

"That's it, it's better to live with me, you will live with me as soon as you come, and you will get used to it after living for a few years." Gu Xiaofeng took the opportunity to smile, snatched the cover from her hand, and took her hand and walked towards the house.

"Xiaofeng, take good care of Miss Ruan for me." The old lady commanded behind her.

Gu Xiaofeng responded, and led Ruan Jiao into the house.

Liu was blocked by the old lady, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak, so he had to give her a salute and go back to the house listlessly.

Gu Ming was writing at the desk, and when he saw her come in, he said hello and wanted to continue writing.

Liu stepped forward, tore the paper on which he was writing, tore it a few times, and cursed in his mouth, but he didn't know who to scold, just scolded.

Gu Ming sat down in a chair and washed the pen in the pen wash, without saying a word.

"You dare to be dumb, don't say a word, you have a marriage contract with that girl, and now you are happy to watch others snatch her away?" Liu threw the paper in his hand on his son's head and questioned him.

Gu Ming put the torn paper on the table and spread it, and smiled bitterly: "Mother, you can only rest assured, I will take the township examination in a year, and I will definitely get high school, and I will definitely make you raise your eyebrows and no longer live such a hard life." ”

When Liu Shi heard his words, he suddenly felt sad again, and couldn't help but cry with a whimper.

When she was bent on marrying Gu Yunian despite her family's opposition, Gu Yunian also said the same thing to her, she believed him, what was the result? has suffered for half of her life, and she has not turned over until now, but the swineherd Zhang San, who has been giving dowry gifts to her family but she can't look down on, has now become a rich man, marrying three wives and four concubines, which makes people look red.

Gu Ming continued to write on the unfolded broken paper, feeling sad in his heart, but he only heard the sound of the door outside, Liu was crying and forgot to sleep and eat, and did not open the door, he got up and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Ruan Jiao, with a flushed face and a pair of watery eyes looking at him.

Gu Ming coughed, climbed the door with his hand, and asked for a long time: "Something?" ”

"Where's Grandma?" Ruan Jiao asked.

"My mother, she's asleep." Gu Ming, who is not good at lying, blushed because of a sentence to coax her.

Ruan Jiao covered her mouth and smiled, and handed over a small burden in her hand: "Grandma went to my aunt's house just now, and my aunt asked me to send it over." You leave it to her. ”

Gu Ming took it, bowed down to thank her, she chuckled, turned and left.

Back in the house, when Gu Xiaofeng saw her, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is better?" ”

"I didn't see it, the eldest young master came out to open the door, and I gave him the things." Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

Gu Xiaofeng lowered her head and sighed: "Sister-in-law is also pitiful, don't resent her." But I know her intentions, and I must feel that Mrs. County will invite you to the next post, and from now on you will be a master, and if you are assigned to their room, you can also help her subsidize the family, so that she will not have such a hard time. But I don't know, I feel sorry for you, a good young lady, but go with her to be a girl? Don't say that you are not happy, I can't look down on it, I'd rather let you follow me, even if it's hard, so I won't be angry. ”

When Ruan Jiao heard this, her heart was sour, and her eyes turned red.

"Miss Ruan, you won't blame me, will you? That piece of satin was originally kept last autumn to make you a new dress, and I had to give it to her, the last time I went to the county to listen to the play, she had to go, but the result was just to be embarrassed, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow for Ping'er to be selected, the whole family is going to go, if she is still like that, I am afraid that she will have a good one, after all, two sons, how old is the name, I know the pain of not having a mother. Gu Xiaofeng said in a rambling voice.

Ruan Jiao sat next to her and watched her embroider flowers, she embroidered a pillowcase of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the two mandarin ducks were embroidered vividly, and they were very good-looking.

"Auntie, your craftsmanship is so good, I can't do it, I've been embroidering this sachet in my hand for half a month, embroidering, dismantling, dismantling, just not satisfied." Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

Gu Xiaofeng looked at the needle and thread in her hand and laughed: "Where are you the one who did this!" When I was your age, I wasn't as good as you embroidered! Now it's just no way, what if you don't embroider......"

She was about to go on, but she paused again, looked up at Ruan Jiao, and stopped talking.

Ruan Jiao knew what she meant, she didn't do embroidery for her own use, but to sell it for money. Her dowry has not come back, and she has eaten kilometers at home in the past few years, although she is protected by an old lady, but the second grandmother has long been eyeing her, and she has been talking about her cool words all day long.

"Miss Ruan, someone has placed an order for my pillowcase, and there will be money for the delivery in these two days, let's go to the cloth village tomorrow and buy you a new piece of cloth to make autumn clothes, okay?" Gu Xiaofeng saw that Ruan Jiao was speechless for a while, thinking that she was unhappy because she had no new clothes, so she comforted her.

Ruan Jiao smiled, rolled into her arms, hugged her neck, and smiled coquettishly: "Grandma, your satin gown is washed and white, don't want it, Ming'er, can I buy you a fresh color?" ”

Gu Xiaofeng hugged her and knocked her violently: "Silly girl!" I don't have anything to be proud of my aunt and grandmother, and I don't have to make people laugh at what fresh clothes I wear. ”

Ruan Jiao just giggled and didn't reply to her, the silver in her hand was enough to buy a satin dress for the two of them, originally she just wanted to save up the capital and buy some raw materials and tools for making rouge paste, but now she is really grateful to Gu Xiaofeng for her kindness, and besides, this time Mrs. County Zun will post to invite her, she will definitely do something, and she doesn't want to hide her little savings anymore.

If it weren't for Gu Xiaofeng's private embroidery work to make a living, she wouldn't have arranged the source of her silver, so it's good, just say that her aunt and grandmother earned it by doing embroidery.

She couldn't see the actions of the Liu family and the old lady just now, the people who were originally pushing out, as soon as they heard that she was invited to the banquet by the county lady, they actually earned it and rushed to her house, if she really made money, what would she do? Wouldn't they all be picked off, it's better to continue to hide so clumsily, and wait for the opportunity to go out by yourself and show your ambitions.

Aunt Liu took Ai Ye in to smoke the house for them, Ruan Jiao wanted to do it herself, Aunt Liu stopped her, and said with a joke: "Now that you are the guest of the county lady, even the old lady respects you for three points, how dare I let you help me do the work?" Isn't it going to be a long life? ”

"Aunt Liu, don't joke, even if you are a guest, you are just a businessman, Mrs. County Zun likes my craft, do you want to ask me to be a young lady?" Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

"You said that Miss Ruan is also a god who appreciates food, and no serious person has taught her, how did she learn this good craft! Catch up with Ming'er Lao Liu's daughter to get married, you can give her a good transformation, and give her two boxes of rouge paste made by you, so that she can also grow her face in her mother-in-law's house. Gu Xiaofeng quipped.

Everyone was talking, only to hear a timid shout from the courtyard: "This is Gu Yuliang Gu's old man's house?" ”
