The two entered the inner room, and Duan Yingluo excused that it was Grandpa Guo who asked her to go to Xiao Aoxuan in the afternoon to discuss the matter of returning to Yongzhou, and asked Qiu Gui to serve the two girls here.

Gu Xiyan didn't expect Duan Yingluo to be so bold that she would take Qi Maosheng to say something. And Liu Mei'er couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly away all of a sudden, and said busily: "Miss Duan, don't worry, Miss Gu, we will take good care of her." ”

After Duan Yingluo left, Liu Mei'er's mood was obviously high, and she pulled Gu Xiyan on the kang.

Gu Xiyan Qi said: "Miss Liu, do you really want to go back to Yongzhou?" ”

"Of course," said Liu Mei'er, "I can go home when I see my aunt." ”

Gu Xiyan's eyes rolled: "In that case, why did you come to Hongtai?" ”

Liu Mei'er sighed, thought of Siping's instructions, and said helplessly: "I came to send a gift to Grandpa Guo on the order of my aunt." ”

"Delivery?"

"yes!" Liu Mei'er said abruptly, she was very reluctant to talk about this topic, which reminded her of what happened last night, and felt that she had lived so much, and she had never encountered anything more embarrassing than this.

Qiu Gui also felt that it was not good to talk about this, so she was busy interjecting on the side: "Miss Gu's mother is from the Wei family in Dongxi, so speaking of which, she and our young lady are aunts and sisters." I don't know which branch of the Wei family Miss Gu is? ”

Gu Xiyan smiled apologetically: "My mother died early, and my uncle has been traveling all year round, and only Sister Duan is taking care of me. She is not from the Wei family, so she is not easy to ask. To be honest, we don't know. This time I went to Yongzhou, and there was no way. ”

Liu Mei'er looked at Gu Xiyan's simple clothes, and saw that she was plain and clean, without any jewelry. There is no secret pity. smiled: "I came to Hongtai and made a lot of new clothes. If Miss Gu is not angry. Just pick a few! ”

In ancient times, clothes were not produced on an industrial assembly line like now, and they were very time-consuming and laborious, and they would usually be worn for many years to make a garment. Naturally, it can't be made very close-fitting, otherwise the clothes will soon be unwearable. Therefore, giving away clothes is also a more expensive gift.

Gu Xiyan resolutely refused.

Liu Mei'er looked at her with a little admiration in her eyes.

Some women come from poor families, but they have a lot of backbone and never accept gifts from others at will.

With a strong martial arts maid by her side, she is neither humble nor arrogant in front of her, Liu Meier invisibly regards Gu Xiyan as a person who is clean and self-conscious, but she is in a better mood, and she wants to make friends with Gu Xiyan.

"Miss Gu, what do you usually do?" Liu Mei'er asked Gu Xiyan very kindly. "When I came to Hongtai, I also brought a few embroidery bandages, ready to do needlework when I was bored. Miss Gu is bored. It's better to accompany us to do embroidery work, so that everyone can kill time. Liu Mei'er asked Gu Xiyan cautiously, as if she was afraid of hurting her self-esteem.

Gu Xiyan was secretly funny, but she also had a good impression of Liu Mei'er's simplicity.

"Is Miss Liu very good at embroidery?"

Liu Mei'er was a little embarrassed: "It's not good at it." However, my mother once invited Lu Jiuniang to the house to guide our sisters' embroidery, and she could also embroider a few gadgets. ”

In ancient times, people were very modest, and even masters would belittle themselves in front of others. As soon as Gu Xiyan heard Liu Mei'er's words, she knew that she must be a master of embroidery.

Her eyes flashed, "Really? Then can you teach me? ”

Everyone wants to be valued.

Liu Mei'er was stunned. Then his face flushed: "I, can I?" Her expression was a little unnatural, and she whispered: "My second sister in our family has the best embroidery skills, Lu Jiuniang said that the second sister is her proud protégé, I, I'm afraid I can't teach well..." She thought of Gu Xiyan's words just now, "The Wei family is poor".

Miss Gu may not have any attainments in women's "six arts"!

Her expression flashed unnaturally.

I'm too inattentive to what I say. I don't know if the injury hurt Miss Gu's heart.

Gu Xiyan is crystal hearted, where can she not experience the change between Liu Meier's emotions. Liu Mei'er was born rich and noble, and it was not her fault, why did she want to be careful in front of her because of this. She had a better impression of this kind-hearted little girl: "I just followed the grandmother at home to do embroidery work for a few days, speaking of which, we are aunts and cousins, if my sister doesn't dislike me for being clumsy, you can teach me." "The tone is very sincere.

Liu Mei'er saw that Gu Xiyan was calm when she spoke, her demeanor was gentle, and her attitude was sincere, not as if she was polite or dealing with herself. This can't help but remind her of her cousin Wei Shiying, who was fostered in the Liu family because of her poor family, she always looks like she ignores herself, smiling in front of adults, but in private, she will use her to ridicule and ridicule everything she says... is also a relative, how can there be such a big gap.

Ancient women rarely had the opportunity to make girlfriends, and at this time, she really wanted to make friends with Gu Xiyan. She turned around and opened the high cabinet on the kang: "Sister Gu, these are all things I brought from Chengzhou, you can see if you need anything, just take it." ”

Liu Mei'er was so sincere to her, and Gu Xiyan was also a little moved in her heart. She smiled: "It's not that I don't admit my sister's affection, it's just that these things of yours are too valuable." For example, clothes, either silk or silk, are easy to rot and are not easy to wash, so I really don't need them. ”

Liu Mei'er saw that Gu Xiyan not only did not misunderstand that she wanted to show off among her poor sisters, but also sincerely explained to her the reason why she did not accept the gift, so she felt that this sister was really amiable, so she wanted to help her even more.

She hesitated, "So, what do you need?" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled and pulled her to sit down: "Didn't you promise to teach me embroidery?" ”

Liu Mei'er let out an "ah", and her face turned red.

His actions are indeed a little bit Meng Lang, but fortunately, Sister Gu is not the person with the small belly, if she changes Wei Shiying... She hurriedly instructed Guiqiu: "Go and find the green wicker box with the embroidered bandage." ”

Qiu Gui happily responded.

They came to Hongtai under the escort of the Yan army, because it was Mrs. Wei's will, so they didn't bring the maid-in-law who was waiting by her side on weekdays, if she hadn't been waiting by Liu Mei'er's side since she was a child, she would be a strict mouth. I'm afraid I won't be able to follow myself. After coming to Hongtai, things developed beyond their expectations. There was no one around to discuss, and she was always nervous. Especially after listening to Siping's words this morning, she was really afraid that the girl would not be able to think of anything foolish for a while. Who knew that although Miss Gu was from a humble background. But it's not like the Wei girl at home who blindly admires herself, she is also an informed and interesting person, and her temperament is generous, and now the girl has Miss Gu as her companion, and she can forget about those unpleasant things for a while. Naturally, she was happy to see it, and hurried back to the house to find the green wicker box.

As soon as Qiu Gui went out, Gu Xiyan sighed.

Liu Meier hurriedly asked, "What's uncomfortable with my sister?" ”

Gu Xiyan frowned: "I'm just a little worried, in case I get to the Yanguo Mansion." Mrs. Wei didn't know that there was such a relative as ours, how embarrassing it was! ”

Liu Mei'er hurriedly comforted her: "No." No, it won't. My aunt is the most amiable and takes good care of her relatives, and she won't deny you. ”

Gu Xiyan was still a little worried, and smiled reluctantly: "I hope it is as you say." ”

Liu Mei'er saw that she trusted her words so much, but her heart became unsteady: "Speaking of which, the Yanguo Mansion is actually not in charge of Mrs. Wei... But my aunt is always the biological mother of Grandpa Guo. There are still a few decent servings. ”

Gu Xiyan let out an "oh" with great interest, and a look of hesitation flashed on her face.

"What's wrong?" Liu Mei'er smiled very kindly, "Between our sisters, there is something not to say." ”

Gu Xiyan smiled curtly: "If you don't ask, I'm worried, and if I ask, I'm afraid that my sister will misunderstand me as the one who talks nonsense!" ”

"That's it, that's it." Gu Xiyan's frankness made Liu Mei'er feel good. Nodding as if he had found a soulmate. "The eldest sister often says that I just can't grasp this degree, so I often do the wrong thing."

Gu Xiyan also nodded: "To be a man is to be accurate." But this scale is really difficult to grasp. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Liu Meier felt pity in her heart.

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "I just want to ask about the situation of the Guogong Mansion, so as not to go to the black one and do something embarrassing." ”

Liu Mei'er nodded in understanding and said frankly: "Speaking of which, our grandfather's temper is not ordinary. Don't talk about it from afar, just talk about the things in the house. I don't know what he thinks, although Mrs. Xu is the grandmother of Grandpa Guo, but her aunt is his biological mother. Where is the truth that a son inherits the knighthood but lets others be in charge. is in the royal family, and the biological mother is also the orthodox queen mother. But Grandpa Guo did the opposite and continued to let Mrs. Wu be the director of the house. It makes these relatives of our Wei family usually not go to Yongzhou. ”

Gu Xiyan was a little surprised, but she didn't expect that it was Qi Yuzhi's grandmother and Qi Hao's mother-in-law Mrs. Xu who presided over the Yanguo Mansion.

Seeing this, Liu Mei'er smiled and said, "You are also a little surprised." ”

Gu Xiyan nodded: "I really didn't expect it." ”

The Liu family has a high self-esteem and strict family rules, although they have the pride of the down-to-earth and generous scholars, but they lack the tenderness of the children in the short family. Between the sisters of the Liu family, talking about poetry is elegant, talking about female celebrity is virtuous, talking about the family is shrewd, but how to talk about eight coats, that is vulgar.

But how many women don't like eight-coats?

Liu Meier met a person who was about the same age as herself, but far from knowing as much as she knew and was very interested in listening to her, and the woman's nature was like a butterfly that had broken out of a cocoon and began to fly around.

She leaned into Gu Xiyan's ear: "I'll tell you." There are many strange things in the Yanguo Mansion, and some people say that Mrs. Ye just couldn't stand him so she committed suicide by jumping into the river! ”

"Jump, jump into the river, kill yourself!" Gu Xiyan was angry.

Where is this?

"Really!" Liu Meier met a person who suddenly heard such news but didn't denounce himself as nonsense, and she even had a ** to tell.

"I have seen Mrs. Ye several times, beautiful, gentle, kind, and kind. But Grandpa Guo is different. At this point, she paused, "I'll tell you something, and you can't say anything about anyone." ”

Gu Xiyan nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, I won't say anything." ”

That's it, Liu Mei'er also hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "My eldest sister almost married Grandpa Guo." ”

"Ahh Gu Xiyan was dumbfounded, she couldn't imagine that Qi Maosheng would have this one!

"Really!" Liu Meier emphasized, "That was many years ago. I heard from my grandmother at home that at that time, Mrs. Xu wanted Grandpa Guo to marry Mrs. Ye of Xizhao, but my aunt wanted Grandpa Guo to marry my eldest sister, so she sent someone to take my sister to Yongzhou overnight and let them meet. Have you heard of Liu Ruer's name? She is my eldest sister, and there is no more beautiful woman than her in the whole Yandi. Grandpa Guo saw where he was still dissatisfied. ”
