Cui's mansion was red, and the servants were all dressed in new silk robes, waiting in front of the mansion in high spirits, Mrs. Cui helped Mama Huang's men get out of the carriage, and Gu Mingzhu had already stepped forward to accompany her.

Mrs. Cui glanced at her, but did not refuse her outstretched hand, and asked her to help herself to the house.

Gu Mingzhu was not surprised, with her understanding of Mrs. Cui, although she had a twisted personality, she was a calf protector and would not make her ugly in front of the second and third ladies.

Sure enough, when the second lady and the third lady came out with Cui Huan and Cui Ting, the eldest lady's hand tightened, held her hand, raised her head slightly and entered the mansion, greeting them.

The second lady Yuan smiled like a flower, stepped forward to greet the rich man's family, and then supported Gu Mingzhu, who saluted her, and said with a smile: "The county lord is going to live permanently this time." ”

"No wonder the last time I saw the county lord, I felt kind, it turned out to be my own family, it really met my eyes." Yuan took Gu Mingzhu's hand, turned his head and talked to the third lady Zheng on the side, "Such a good appearance and character, after all, Wulang is blessed." ”

That affectionate tone was a bit exaggerated, Gu Mingzhu felt that this second lady seemed to treat her a little differently last time, and this time it was even more obvious, but she didn't know why.

The third lady smiled honestly, and said to the eldest lady and Gu Mingzhu: "After getting the letter, let the people clean up, and the yard is ready. ”

Mrs. Cui was a little more affectionate to the third lady, and nodded with a smile: "What do I still have to worry about what the third brother and sister ordered, I'll let Wanqing take someone to take a look later." ”

Cui Wan and Cui Ting sisters stepped forward at this time, Cui Ting looked at the new sister-in-law with a little scrutiny as before, although she had met Gu Mingzhu before, her identity was different after all.

Cui Huan was older after all, stepped forward and saluted Gu Mingzhu with a smile, and called affectionately: "Fifth sister-in-law." ”

Gu Mingzhu also smiled and saluted them.

At this time, a person slowly walked behind them, and the begonia red Hunan skirt walked out of a ripple, but the face was so light that there was no color, and only then did he curtshow when he came to the front: "Auntie, five...... Siblings. ”

It's Zheng Yuan.

The pause in the middle was so short that anyone who didn't care about it couldn't notice it.

Gu Mingzhu naturally smiled back with her steadily: "Third sister-in-law." ”

They have been concubines since then, they are all daughters-in-law of the Cui family, and they will have more time to meet in the future, Gu Mingzhu smiled helplessly, and estimated that Zheng Yuan was also full of disgust when she looked at her.

As she thought, Zheng Yuan smiled at her modestly and politely, but her eyes swept over her hand holding Mrs. Cui, and she pursed her lips and chuckled: "The eldest aunt and the fifth brother and sister are really affectionate, which makes people envious." ”

Everyone looked at Gu Mingzhu and Mrs. Cui, and their eyes had their own meanings.

Mrs. Cui frowned, but patted Gu Mingzhu's hand, revealing an indifferent smile: "Mingzhu is very careful, and having her here really makes me feel very relieved." ”

Zheng Yuan's face couldn't help but change, and her smile was a little uncomfortable, but she still stepped forward and stood behind the second lady, her eyes swept over Gu Mingzhu, her smile was even more gentle, and she turned her head and said to the two young women behind her: "We are not as good as the fifth brother and sister when we are sisters-in-law." ”

The two Gu Mingzhu had also seen it when they came back the last time, they were the wife of Cui Dalang Cui Yuan, the eldest son of the second room, and the wife of Cui Erlang Cui Da in the third room, Wang, who also came forward to greet Mrs. Cui and Gu Mingzhu with a smile at this time.

The Wang family and Gu Mingzhu are about the same age, and they are the concubines of the Langya Wang family, she looked at Gu Mingzhu, and then at Zheng Yuan, her eyes flashed: "The fifth brother and sister are brides, no wonder the eldest aunt prefers them, we naturally can't compare." ”

The Xie family is from the side branch of the Xie family in Chen County, and he has never spoken and acted as flamboyant as the Wang family, and it is inevitable that he will be a little restrained in front of many elders, his smile is a little thin, and he said in a muddy manner: "The eldest aunt and the fifth brother and sister have just come back, let's go in and talk." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned the maidservant to serve tea and soup to Mrs. Cui and Gu Mingzhu.

Everyone sat down, and the second lady Yuan said with raised eyebrows and said about returning to the Anping clan in two days: "The old lady went back a few days ago, let A-Ning go with her, and also instructed the clan to prepare to open an ancestral hall. ”

Speaking of opening the ancestral hall, the smile on the corner of her mouth was even brighter, and she looked at Mrs. Cui with a little pride: "This is a big event in the clan." ”

The eldest lady didn't move her eyebrows: "Let the Ah family bother, tomorrow I will go to Anping to help with the operation." ”

She looked at the third lady Zheng: "The affairs in the house still have to be shared by the three brothers and sisters, I let Mama Huang stay, what do you tell her." ”

The third lady Zheng hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, where is this, it should have been our dedicated ......"

The second lady Yuan listened and smiled nonchalantly: "The third brother and sister have to worry a lot, Lord Lang and Wei Lang have come back from Weizhou, I still have to be careful, the affairs in the Hui clan are important, and they can't be delayed." ”

A haze flashed in Mrs. Cui's eyes, and she said a few more words to them before waving her hand: "Disperse, Mingzhu has just entered the mansion, and then there are still several busy days, hard work." ”

Everyone said they didn't dare, and then they dispersed.

Gu Mingzhu accompanied the eldest lady to the Shi'an Garden in the long room to sit for a while, although the eldest lady was not as affectionate as Fang Cai in front of everyone, she did not embarrass her, explained a few words, let her have something to do, and asked someone to ask Mama Huang, and let her go back to the courtyard.

Cui Lin and Gu Mingzhu's courtyard is Yusheng Courtyard, which has always been Cui Lin's residence, the courtyard is wide and quiet, planted with plane trees, Cuihua stands like a pavilion, the wing room is not far away and lingers in a pool of clear water, and a small octagonal pavilion, and there is no other decorative embellishment, it looks very commensurate with Cui Lin's preferences.

Because Gu Mingzhu was newly married, the Yusheng Courtyard was placed with a red lotus, and the roses on the flower stand in the courtyard of the courtyard also bloomed into a crimson cloud.

The furnishings in the main hall and the flower hall are also new, low-key and steady, Gu Mingzhu sat down on the couch and ordered someone to call the grandmother and the maidservant in the courtyard to come and see, she just married into the house, and the people who served in this courtyard must be the old people around Cui Lin, or the people who were rewarded by the eldest lady, she naturally wanted to see her.

Taking advantage of this, Mama Han personally took the teacup brought by the little maid, stepped forward and said softly: "I am just in the inner hall, I am afraid that this mansion is not so simple, and the county lord needs to pay more attention." ”

Gu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows lightly and took a sip of tea soup: "Mama ordered to go down and let people quietly find out what is in these three rooms." ”

With such a big family as the Cui family, the Cui Mansion must not be so simple, she can't sit here blindly, let others use or manipulate her.
