Early in the morning, Guo Xiaoxiao woke up and suddenly felt refreshed, and the fatigue and loss of appetite from last night were completely gone.

Guo Xiaoxiao thought to himself that he might really have some kind of illness, but he didn't dare to tell Mrs. Guo. After all, such a big person, he still tells his parents everything, isn't it a joke. Now that I feel much more comfortable taking medicine, I don't take it too seriously.

Xiaolan came in with a basin of water, first she put it on the shelf, and then went to open the window.

"Miss, she's in good health."

"Hmm." Guo Xiaoxiao smiled, got up and sat in front of the dressing table.

Xiaolan skillfully picked up the comb and groomed Guo Xiaoxiao: "Just now, the Han Mansion sent someone to send a wedding card, saying that Young Master Han is going to celebrate his birthday next month, and he invited our master, Mrs. and Miss to the mansion for dinner." ”

"Then I'll have to prepare a gift earlier."

"What do you want to give Mademoiselle? Isn't it a mandarin duck purse? Embroidered purse, Miss is the best, not to mention the mandarin duck and lovesickness. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled: "You are the master for me, comb your hair well." ”

On the day of Han Tianlei's birthday, the Han Mansion was overcrowded.

Guo Xiaoxiao followed Master Guo to the Han Mansion in a carriage, and as soon as he got off the car, Master Han and Mrs. Han stepped forward to greet him.

Master Han was very enthusiastic: "Why did Brother Guo come?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Master Guo smiled: "There are still some things in the Fangcai Mansion, I just came to your side after I was busy." ”

"Oh, don't stand outside, Brother Guo, the banquet has already been prepared for you."

It is customary for men and women not to share the same table. After the old man, he was called by the old man Han to go to the man's banquet to eat wine. Mrs. Han is the host, and because of the previous incident of the Han Mansion and the Guo Mansion escorting the jade pendant, Mrs. Han's treatment of the Guo family is naturally different from other families.

Mrs. Han first took Mrs. Guo and the two young ladies of the Guo family on a tour in the back garden.

"The back garden of the humble house is full of wild flowers and weeds, which is not a big scene, I hope Mrs. Guo and the two young ladies don't mind."

Mrs. Guo looked around, the warbler was singing and the butterflies were flying, the scenery was very warm, and at a glance, she knew that Mrs. Han was humble.

"How so? The scenery of your house is pleasant, we can take a look, it is really a feast for the eyes. Mrs. Guo said with a smile.

Mrs. Han led the topic to Guo Xiaoxiao again, and said: "The one in my family told me before that Guo Xiaoxiao, the eldest lady of the Guo family, is very virtuous, and today I saw that it was really the case. ”

Mrs. Guo smiled: "Mrs. Han praised it falsely. ”

Guo Qianqian, who was on the side, heard Mrs. Han praise Guo Xiaoxiao, and couldn't control her cold snort, Mrs. Han turned her head to look at Guo Qianqian when she heard the sound, Guo Qianqian was shocked, and stared at her with wide eyes. Mrs. Guo smiled and broke the embarrassment and said, "The little girl Qianqian is not sensible, Mrs. Han don't be surprised." ”

Mrs. Han didn't say anything, but she left a bad impression on Guo Qianqian.

The Han family's banquet was prepared quite well, and the Guo family was very satisfied. In order to promote the relationship between Han Tianlei and Guo Xiaoxiao, the masters of the two families took this opportunity to let the two meet in the back garden.

Guo Xiaoxiao and Han Tianlei walked on the cobblestone path.

Guo Xiaoxiao first broke the embarrassment: "I don't know what Young Master Han likes, so Xiao Xiao made a painting and gave it to Young Master Han." ”

Han Tianlei took Guo Xiaoxiao's painting and said with a smile: "Miss Guo has a heart." Then he handed the painting to the little guy behind him.

didn't walk for long, but I saw Guo Qianqian coming head-on.

"It turns out that my sister and Young Master Han are here, so my sister is easy to find."

Guo Xiaoxiao ignored her, but Young Master Han spoke: "Who is this?" ”

"Second Miss Guo Qianqian." Guo Qianqian bowed and continued, "Qianqian has prepared a gift for Young Master Han, and I hope Young Master Han will accept it with a smile." ”

Guo Qianqian said and asked Xiao Cui to hand over a parrot. Han Tianlei watched the parrot fluttering in the cage, he liked it very much, and when he looked up and saw Guo Qianqian's bright smiling face, Han Tianlei's eyes showed a light.

Guo Xiaoxiao watched the two of them talking about the parrot, talking and laughing, especially Han Tianlei's eyes, which kept wandering on Guo Qianqian. She could feel that Han Tianlei was deeply attracted by Guo Qianqian's innocence and liveliness.

Guo Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Young Master Han, Xiaoxiao's stomach is a little uncomfortable and I want to rest." ”

"Go ahead." Han Tianlei said without looking back.

Guo Xiaoxiao owes his body, and looks up at Guo Qianqian's eyes, Guo Xiaoxiao sees a smug smile in her eyes, as if to say: I won.

Guo Xiaoxiao turned around and left, went out of the back garden, and went to a side room prepared for guests.

Xiaolan closed the door and said, "Second Miss is really too much to do this, isn't this obviously trying to rob Miss of your husband?" I don't know where I learned this method. ”

"But she succeeded." Guo Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said, "She successfully attracted his attention. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at Xiaolan: "I spent three days painting the eagle spreading its wings, and he didn't even look at it." However, she was attracted to him by just using the parrot. ”

"Miss......"

"He likes her."

"However, marriage has been the order of parents since ancient times, and the matchmaker's words, even if Young Master Han likes the second miss, it can't change the verdict of the Guo and Han families."

"Yes, you're right, this matter is a foregone conclusion." Guo Xiaoxiao is convincing himself.

"Miss, but you like Young Master Han?" Xiaolan asked.

"I, I don't know."

may be because he was promised a marriage for the first time, Guo Xiaoxiao doesn't know what kind of mood to use to face it. That day, the two families exchanged tokens, and she thought that the wood was ready, and she was ready to marry into the Han family. Even if the husband and wife are not happy, it is acceptable. Because she believes that the relationship between husband and wife can be cultivated with time.

Does she like Han Tianlei? She shouldn't know what liking is now. But why did she feel a little uncomfortable when she saw Han Tianlei and Guo Qianqian fighting parrots together.

"Xiaolan, you say, why does a woman feel a little uncomfortable when she sees another woman laughing with a man?" She asked.

"The slave maid mentioned by the young lady has not experienced it, but the slave maid has heard the old lady say that the women of large families are jealous. The slave maid thought that it was out of jealousy. ”

Oh, jealousy, Guo Xiaoxiao walked to the window and muttered to himself, it turns out that women's jealousy is so uncontrollable.

After Han Tianlei's birthday, the contact with Guo Qianqian was never severed, and he went to Guo's mansion to find Guo Qianqian in three days.

Guo Qianqian does not avoid the suspicion of men and women, and often goes out to play with Han Tianlei.

Han Tianlei responded to Guo Qianqian's requests, and when she was angry, he coaxed her and changed his methods; She was sick, and he found her medicine; She was greedy, and he bought her all the delicacies in Yangzhou City.

Coming and going, the neighbors will inevitably gossip, but neither of them takes it seriously.

It wasn't until one day that they killed a family's pet dog, which alarmed the elders of the two families.

Steward Zhang first reported the matter to Guo Xiaoxiao. Guo Xiaoxiao went to the North Wing to find Guo Qianqian, but who knew that Guo Qianqian was not there.

Xiaolan said: "The second lady must have known that she had made a mistake, and she was hiding outside and didn't dare to go home." ”

"Go find her. Don't let your father and mother know. Guo Xiaoxiao said.

Xiaolan was about to leave the gate of Guo's mansion, and it happened that Guo Qianqian came back. Xiaolan asked Guo Qianqian to go to the East Wing. Guo Qianqian refused at first, but Xiaolan only said, "The eldest lady knows about you", Guo Qianqian was a little flustered, so she relied on Xiaolan.

Before entering the door, Guo Qianqian put on an unstoppable attitude: "What are you looking for me to do?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao got up from his chair: "What's the matter?" ”

"What's going on?"

"Don't you know when I do! Or do you want me to tell my dad personally? ”

"Isn't it just a dead brute? As for all the fuss! ”

"Yes, you haven't killed anyone yet. But do you know whose dog died? ”

"It's a big deal, it's better to pay him one."

"That's Miss Yuan's dog, when you turn around, people come to our house to complain, where do you put your father's face!"

"Then it's not your turn to take care of me." Guo Qianqian was so angry that she threw down this sentence and walked out of the North Wing.

"It's all used to by my father."

"Miss, this ......" Xiaolan bowed her head and said.

"Don't bother to care about her!" Guo Xiaoxiao drank a cup of tea to suppress the anger.

The owner of the dog is Yuan Shaocheng's sister Yuan Shaoyin, who was born with a beautiful embryo, but her temperament is very spicy, and because she loves spicy food, she is nicknamed "Little Pepper".

When Yuan Shaoyin heard that her beloved dog was dead, she was furious, and hurried to the scene, only to see a snow-white dog lying weakly on the grass. Yuan Shaoyin rushed over to pick up the dog, the dog's eyes were half-narrowed, his feet were facing up, and his breath was dying.

"Whew!" Yuan Shaoyin cried, "Wake up, wake up!" Whew, whew! ”

Yuan Shaoyin found that there were blood stains on her dog's snow-white hair, and when she took a closer look, it turned out that her dog had been hit by an arrow in his back. The arrow is so short that it doesn't look like a regular bow shot.

"Master Yin." The little guy on the side reminded, "The top priority is to send Xiao Yi back to the pharmacy for treatment." ”

"Yes, yes." Yuan Shaoyin wiped her tears, "It's still saved, it's still saved!" Bring the horses quickly. ”

Yuan Shaoyin held her dog in one hand and the saddle in the other, then quickly turned on the horse's back, kicked the horse's belly, and whipped away.

Yuan Shaocheng was showing rheumatism to an old grandmother, when Yuan Shaoyin shouted and rushed in.

"Brother, you quickly treat Xiao Yan." Yuan Shaoyin said.

Yuan Shaocheng glanced at the dog in her arms and said expressionlessly, "I'm not a veterinarian." ”

"This, humans and animals are the same, you can cure them." Yuan Shaoyin begged.

Yuan Shaocheng continued to prick the old grandmother with needles and ignored her.

"Brother," Yuan Shaoyin stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Shaocheng's hand, "If you don't treat Xiaoyi, I won't let you treat others." Xiao Yi is in dire straits now, you can't see death without help. ”

Yuan Shaocheng said: "Da Zhe, you come to see what the problem is for Master Yin's dog." ”

Da Zhe stepped forward with a smile and wanted to take over Xiao Yan, but Yuan Shaoyin didn't give it, and said angrily: "Brother, I want you to treat it." ”

"You're yelling here so that Grandma's ears are uncomfortable." Yuan Shaocheng said.

"No, no, I'm so cute, it's too late for grandma to like me." Yuan Shaoyin squatted beside her grandmother and squinted, "Grandma, right?" ”

In fact, grandma couldn't hear what she was saying clearly, but when she saw Yuan Shaoyin smiling at her, she only felt that this girl was so stupid and cute, so she smiled and nodded.
