After a cup of tea, Duanniang's face turned solemnly, and when she saw Huilan, her face was slightly gloomy, Huilan immediately put down the tea cup in her hand and respectfully saluted Duanniang, so that Duanliang was stunned.

Gu Xiyan saw it in his eyes, but smiled silently.

After Duanniang and Huilan exchanged a few words, Gu Xiyan smiled and handed the ancient recipe written by Huilan to Duanniang: "Huilan wrote it, saying that it is an extremely rare ancient recipe..."

Duan Niang didn't know much about this, and when she heard Gu Xiyan say this, she thought that Huilan was the person next to Cui Baoyi, and she didn't doubt it, so she handed the list to Xinghong, and said with a smile: "So Lao Huilan has to worry about it." Xinghong accompanied your sister Huilan to Mama Tian's place, and asked her to send someone to catch some herbs, so she could try it too. ”

The two got up and left.

Duan Niang's face darkened, and she asked Gu Xiyan, "Are you getting involved with those people in the immortal class again..."

Gu Xiyan was stunned.

Duan Niang said sharply: "How many times have I told you, why don't you listen." The people in that troupe have a few good things... I went to Dicui Pavilion today, and I actually met the tent of the immortal class. A big man, even said in front of me that he saw a sheep intestine path, the scenery is wonderful, and walked in unconsciously, is this what people who know how to be ordinary said..."

Gu Xiyan had a "boom" in his mind and said, "You, you said you met Mr. Huang?" ”

Duan Niang saw Gu Xiyan's nervous expression, and she was even more sure that Gu Xiyan went to Xiuhe Garden to be the person in the longevity class. She had anger in her eyes: "It's useless for you to say anything this time, I have already told Madame, and tomorrow I will send someone to drive the people out of the immortal class... It was a good idea to take them in, but now it's doing such a thing. If there was anything, Gu Fu's reputation for hundreds of years would be over. What's more, it's a critical juncture for the girl's relatives..."

In other words, Mr. Huang didn't know that Qi Maosheng was gone.

Gu Xiyan interrupted Duan Niang's words and asked, "Good aunt, don't discipline me." In a fit of rage, you told your mother, that. Then Master Liu has been, has he been..."

Duan Niang glared at Gu Xiyan with a look of hatred: "You think I'm stupid." Saying these things in front of Master Liu..."

Gu Xiyan asked nervously, "Hasn't Master Liu left yet?" ”

Duan Niang said: "I said that I wanted to wait for the master to come back to meet and have dinner before leaving." ”

"Is the Seventh Master here?"

Duan Niangqi said: "The seventh master wants to follow the shop, so naturally he will send Master Liu here and leave." ”

Gu Xiyan's pounding heart calmed down a little. She smiled and relieved herself: "I'm just asking." ”

After saying a few words, Gu Xiyan kept smiling again, and the anger that Duanniang was holding back in her heart gradually subsided, and said: "I heard that the Seventh Master brought too much land with Suiyi, and he almost clashed with the Yulin Army at the gate of the mansion... Fortunately, General Zuo came forward to say hello, and there was no danger..."

Gu Xiyan had a strange expression on his face. When Duanniang saw it, her heart disease rose again. Hesitantly, he said, "Girl." Look at these two marriages..."

Gu Xiyan took Duan Niang's hand and sat on the edge of the bed, and talked heart-to-heart: "Auntie, I don't have any ideas now, you say, which one is better to promise?" ”

Duan Niang sighed: "I look at the girl's temperament. Naturally, the Jiang family is good..."

Gu Xiyan's eyes flowed, as bright as a jewel, and whispered in Duanniang's ear.

Duan Niangdi's face seemed to be surprised and happy, and she seemed to be angry and angry, Gu Xiyan finished talking for a while before she came back to her senses and stared at Gu Xiyan with tears in her eyes.

Gu Xiyan was a little worried, and asked softly, "Auntie, you see that my idea is feasible!" ”

The corners of Duanniang's mouth slowly bloomed into a reassuring smile: "The girl has really grown up." It's getting more and more like Mrs. Lian. ”

So yes or no?

Duan Niang gently stroked Gu Xiyan's sideburns, her eyes were kind: "I lost my father at an early age, I was widowed at a young age, I haven't experienced any hardships, the girl doesn't have to worry about me." Do what you want to do! ”

Gu Xiyan's heart warmed. The corners of her eyes were moist, and she gently fell on Duanniang's shoulder.

Early the next morning. Gu Xiyan went to say goodbye to Mrs. Gu, and Duanniang went to Mama Tian.

When the two met, Duan Niang pulled Mama Tian to whisper for a while, Mama Tian was stunned, and said: "There is nothing to say about Whelan's character, knowledge, and appearance, but it has to be kept in the house... I'm afraid the girl won't be able to grasp it! Duanniang whispered: "This is also a way to do it." How can we have a suitable candidate in our house now? Seeing that the girl's marriage is a matter of the past few days, we don't prepare early, and we will be even more panicked when the time comes. Mama is a person who has experienced it, if you don't choose this companion room well, there will be endless troubles, no matter what Huilan says, it is always Aunt Cui who has taught the ground, which is not as good as ordinary girls..."

Mama Tian smiled when she heard this, and said, "Since Aunt Duan has said so, I will go to Mrs. ”

Duan Niang said some words of gratitude, Mama Tian personally sent Duan Niang out, just in time to catch up with Gu Xiyan to ask Mrs. Gu to go back to Beyuan after asking Mrs. Gu, Gu Xiyan and Mama Tian said hello, the two went side by side, Mama Tian turned around and went to Mrs. Gu's house to reply.

On the way, Gu Xiyan asked Duanniang: "What else does Xinghong know, you must be sure, otherwise, something big will happen!" ”

Duan Niang promised: "I went to Tu Niang's place by myself quietly, she didn't know." ”

Gu Xiyan was still not at ease, and repeatedly advised: "If there is anything in the future, you must avoid the red apricot, this girl has no heart." You can also take the opportunity to ask the two girls what they have planned. Anyway, when everyone gets acquainted, they can't watch them jump into the fire pit. ”

Duan Niang smiled: "Except for the girl in this world, who thinks it's a fire pit?" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled wryly, and pulled Duan Niang's sleeve coquettishly: "I know that my aunt loves me the most, don't worry, I will definitely find you a good son-in-law who looks dignified, has good conduct, has a lot of money, and can be a good son-in-law, let him kneel and give you tea for your mother-in-law when the time comes..."

"Ouch!" Duan Niang hurriedly covered Gu Xiyan's mouth, "This courtyard is full of wind, don't talk nonsense." As he said this, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows slowly overflowed with joy.

In the afternoon, the Gu family suddenly became lively.

Mrs. Gu called Huilan to ask questions in the warm pavilion of the Shouyuan Ground. Mama Tian and Mama Zhao took people to Liuting to get the Changsheng class out of the house, and Aunt Qin first said all the good things. Let the grace period be a few months, and the rent is willing to be increased again, and Mama Tian will not let go no matter what. The two sides quarreled, and the apprentices of the immortal class saw that they tore their faces, and shouted regardless of it, gossiping, and made Mama Tian come back with a disgraced face, and Mrs. Gu was so angry that she shouted that she was going to report to the government. It was still Whelan who came up with an idea on the side: "Since it was introduced by Mrs. Niang's family, I still invited her to come out as a host, so as not to shout and lose face for everyone." Mrs. Gu felt that what she said made sense, and asked Mama Sun to send someone to write a letter to her sister-in-law in Jiangnan.

When Huilan came to Beyuan to talk about this, she had a few ostentatious meanings, thinking that Mrs. Gu had faintly revealed some meaning when she asked. Whelan was anxious to behave in front of Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan just listened to it as a joke, but Duanniang gave Huilan a look: "It's hot, I cooked mung bean water in the small kitchen, and it just so happened that Mrs. sent someone to send a large piece of ice, and Huilan was dexterous and helped me knock the ice." ”

Huilan willingly followed Duan Niang to the small kitchen, but Gu Xiyan summoned Mo Ju: "You quietly sent this thousand taels of silver to Aunt Qin, and let her find another place to live." Tell my aunt that Mr. Huang often comes to Xiuhe Garden..."

Mo Ju hurriedly stuffed the silver ticket into the placket of his clothes and left.

Duan Niang talked to Huilan in the small kitchen: "Our girl is childish. I don't understand anything, there are some things, I hope you can teach her. ”

Huilan was relieved when she heard this, and she couldn't hide her joy and raised her eyebrows: "Auntie, don't say that. Whoever in the girl's house doesn't know it's all up to you. What can't I do in the future. My aunt is going to treat me like her own niece. Say what should be said, scold what should be scolded... lest I make a mistake and lose the girl's face. ”

Duan Niang listened. Zhengse said: "In that case, I won't be polite to you." What are you going to do? ”

Huilan was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect Duan Niang to really pull her face to teach her a lesson.

But what did she mean by that?

Whelan was confused for a while, and said vaguely: "I'm a fool, and it's all up to my aunt to decide." ”

Duan Niang groaned: "It turns out that there are four girls around the girl, and the girl is afraid of delaying her age, so she married two." Now the Mo Ju and Xinghong who stay by my side are all places that I specially chose for the girl to make a room. Whelan you are different, if you are a companion like me, it will be in vain for the girl to accept you into the house; If you are like Mo Ju and them, you have indeed been wronged; If you become a housekeeper, I'm afraid you won't be able to meet such a good person..."

Duan Niang's words are particular. There are three kinds of marriage houses for the daughters of large families in the Xia Kingdom. The first is the accompanying mother of the house, such people are generally women with a little age experience, and they are very trusted by the mother-in-law, entrusting their daughters to them, specializing in helping to manage housework, reconciling the relationship between husband and wife, and usually following the marriage with the family; The second is the girl who has a room, the mother will choose a group of good-looking girls to accompany her before she gets married, and if the aunt takes a fancy to it, she can be included as a concubine or as a free room; The third is the housekeeper's wife, some girls marry in the past who don't want to be concubines or the aunt doesn't look down on the ground or the girl doesn't agree, or when they are old or let go out to marry, or refer to some clever and self-friendly little maids in the family, because these little guys are mostly from the aunt's family, and the girls can be regarded as the people in the girl's room when they marry, although some people are still waiting around the girl, but most of them will be pointed to other rooms to serve, and these girls are generally quite liked by the head of the house, and most of them can do the level of stewardship, so she is also known as the housekeeper lady.

When Huilan heard it, of course she knew what Duan Niangdi meant.

She bowed her head and did not answer.

When Duan Niang saw it, she sighed, and said with a complaint: "I don't know why the girls in our family are so different, saying that everyone in the world is the same, no one is higher than whom, no one is lower than whom, and the daughter's family wants to help the daughter's family, and want to release Moju and Xinghong out of the house, and let them choose freely." Tell me, how can there be such a reason in the world? When the time comes for the girl to get married, won't there even be a girl who has a room, so that people won't laugh off their big teeth..."
